00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: know we can stress around here, and we put a

00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: lot of time and effort into it and we practice it,

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, all year round, and so that when we

00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: get into those situations, Uh, you know, we're confident and uh,

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,119

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,120

Speaker 1: what is the most important things as for this team

37
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and you know where we have a job to do

38
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: and let's get ready to play the Eagles and go

39
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: out there and win a football game. Chris, what do

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: you make of be you know, this whole underdogar thing

41
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: they're playing. Maybe you're proud to be underdoing I think

42
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: everybody's warning these dog masks were making. No I mean,

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, if that's you know, that's really not my business.

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not saying that because they're good football

45
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: teams and in my mind they're not under always. You know,

46
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm going, you know, just out there just to prepare

47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: and you know, to play as good as football as

48
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: we can for sixty minutes. You know, so the last

49
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: game of the season. So we're gonna put everything we

50
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: have into uh into this game, and this team is

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: gonna work, you know, really hard over the next week

52
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: or week and a half to you know, we can

53
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: go out there and play good complement or football offense, defense,

54
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: special teams, and um, you know, hopefully we can get

55
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: the end result that we want. Two of your former

56
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: teammates were Blunt and Chris Long. I could be playing

57
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: against them this time. Like, It's what's I'm like playing

58
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: against the former teammates. And do you think the fact

59
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: that they they have Super Bowl experience they won Super Bowl,

60
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: to that bringing anything to their team? No, I mean,

61
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of said it a lot. You know,

62
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it really experience has anything to do

63
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: with playing in these games. I think it has everything

64
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: to do with, uh, you know, preparing yourself as much

65
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: as possible and you know, knowing that you know it

66
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: could be you know, a little play here or there

67
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: that could be a game changer play, and um, you

68
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: just have to be prepared, you know, mentally physically to

69
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, go out there and play as you know,

70
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: the best football that you can. You know that you

71
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: for all year for sixty minutes, and um, you know

72
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: that's what that's what our goal is playing against your

73
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: old teammates. I just sort of put that aside, and

74
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: what's we probably against all teammates all you know, all year.

75
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's just the nature of the league. So um,

76
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: you know I've I've been We've been doing that. They've

77
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: been doing it, so um, you know, happy for them

78
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: that they have no chance to play Super Bowl Chase.

79
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: She doesn't say to you about this team that they've

80
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: continued to have success after once went out. Uh you know,

81
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean they're a good football team and they have

82
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: a lot of good players, and um, you know, obviously

83
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Nick has come in and done a very good job

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: for them, and they obviously have a lot of trust

85
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: in him, so uh, you know, and they trust in themselves,

86
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: and you know, we're you know, just gonna focus on

87
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: preparing for them and you know, doing as much preparation

88
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: as we can for you know, for this game, you know,

89
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: knowing that you know this is this is the last

90
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: one of the season, so you know, you never want

91
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: to look back on this game and you know, think

92
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: if you know, if I watched a little bit more

93
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: film here or there, you know, you never want to

94
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: have that feeling. So putting as much preparation as we

95
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: can over the next couple of weeks. I mean it's

96
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: going to be you know, the number one thing for us.

97
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: You said an experience doesn't matter on the field, but

98
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: does experience help people being there before with the week

99
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: and how to deal with the media and the media

100
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: night and all the preps that lead up to the

101
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Sure, I mean I think you know, but

102
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots in this organization do and you

103
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: know a really great job of uh you know, trying

104
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: to eliminate all those distractions. And you know, all these

105
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: guys in this room at the end of the day,

106
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, we know we have you know, to do.

107
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: You know, we have one job to do. You know,

108
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: that's to go out there and win football games. And

109
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what everyone's focused on. H I think

110
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: it flies via a little bit you know, um, you know,

111
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it always. I think any of these games

112
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: kind creep up on you really fast. So you know,

113
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: you have to really take advantage of the time that

114
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: we have this week and next week and and really

115
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: you know, really prepare as much as you can. You know,

116
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: whatever it is that you have to do to prepare

117
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: for these games. Uh, you know, whatever your system is,

118
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: whatever you're you know, whatever it is that you have

119
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: to do to get ready for these games, you know

120
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: you're going to do it. And I know, you know,

121
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: for myself personally, it's just preparing as much as possible

122
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: and and just getting myself ready to play you know,

123
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, a good sixty minutes football and you know,

124
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: hopefully the best football that we played all year. Uh,

125
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, I get all the get all the take

126
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: a request, and get all family taken care of, and

127
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: and then once that's out of the way, you know it,

128
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: my focus is on Philly. Thank thank
