1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Let me just start the recording here, all right. Brian

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Hoyer joins us now and we'll start with Ben Van,

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: followed by Evan Lazar and Brian. How's it going today? Good?

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: How are you? Good? Man? Is a beautiful day to

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: practice football? I'm sure? But I can't see you? Oh

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: my is my video not on? No? No, that's all right,

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: I can hear you. Weird, it says him on M

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Just curious. First of all, what's it like when Cam

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: Newton is not out of practice? I like us today.

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just practice. Just go out there and

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: you know, when you get the reps, you just take them.

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: And then you and Jared know each other. You guys

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with each other for over

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: a year. Now. What has it been like adding Cam

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Newton just to the mix, to the quarterback room? What's

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: it been like having the three you guys together? Yeah,

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: it's been fun. Cam brings a lot of energy, obviously,

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: and you know, get to pick his brain on the

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: system that he's been in and his experiences. So look,

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to learn, and you learn from different teams,

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: you learn from different people, and you know, I've enjoyed it.

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Thanks Brian. Thanks, We'll go to Evan Lazar and then

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Mike Giardi. Hey, Brian, I just wanted to ask you,

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: you know, you've obviously been in the system for a while.

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Do you see any big differences or adaptations that coach

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: McDaniels has made to the scheme, you know, without Tom

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: here in the mix. No, not really. I mean, look,

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: there's twenty years of foundation in this offense and I

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: think the one thing that I've realized is each year

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 1: that I've been a part of the team, the offense

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: is a little bit different. You adjust to your players,

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: your personnel, you know, the defensive scheme, and I think

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: that's the great thing about this offense is it's it's

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: always evolving. So I think, you know, there's a great

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, route of core plays and formations and things

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: that we have and I think on a week to

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: week basis, you know, that's what we do is the

38
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: best is you know, go in and see what we

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: need to do to attack the defense. Just one quick

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: follow up. I know that you get this question a lot,

41
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: but a lot of players, Jared cam I've really credited

42
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: you a ton with helping them learn the system, and

43
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, helping them study their playbook and stuff like that,

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: and I was just wondering, you know what that means

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: to you to hear all those guys, you know, give

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: you credit and the same breath as the coaches sometimes

47
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: for helping them out. Yeah, I mean, look, I mean

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who's most experienced. I learned a lot,

49
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, the years I've been here through whether it

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: be Tom, Josh, Bill O'Brien, whoever it was. I mean,

51
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot about this offense over the years,

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: and I tried to obviously keep learning, keep getting better,

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: and that you know, helpful guys around me. So um,

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say that, you know, I'm to

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: the level where I always want to be, but I'm

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: always striving to get to that level of you know,

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: know the why, I know the how do those things

58
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: and then go out and execute. Thanks Bryan, This is

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: a quick update. Ryan Zo is going now in the

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: media workroom interview room, but let's go to Mike Giardi

61
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: and then Mike Rease. Very good to see you. I

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you something about off the field. I'm sorry,

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: can you can hear me? Are? It's it's real life,

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: but I can hear you. Okay, I'll talk loudly. I

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: just want to ask you something about off the field,

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the way your team, the way the league has bonded

67
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: in light of some of the things that have happened

68
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: off the field. I guess how proud of you to

69
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: be an NFL player to see sort of the evolution

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: of the players union and teams taking advantage of their

71
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: voice here. Yeah, I think first and foremost, I'll say this.

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, I've never been more proud to be a

73
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: part of this organization. Last year when I went to Indianapolis,

74
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: I missed these guys. There's there's something special about the

75
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: guys in this locker room. And it starts with you know,

76
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: the Matt Slaters, the Devin mccordy's, the Jason mccordys. I

77
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: know Dante high Tower is not here, but you know

78
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: high Tower, Julian. We have great leadership and it trickles down.

79
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: And you know, when we talked the other day, to

80
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: hear those guys speak, I don't know how anybody can

81
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: sit there and hear the cries from the black community

82
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and not say, you know, we're with you, and I

83
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: know we have a unique perspective being football players and

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: interacting with guys of different color, race, religion, whatever it

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: might be in any day. And I always look at

86
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: how fortunate we are to get to come together as one,

87
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: see that we all have differences and that's okay, and

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: then we embrace people's differences. And you know, you look

89
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: out in our country right now and there's a lot

90
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of division, and I think if we can be an

91
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: example of unity, I'm all for it. So I fully

92
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: support them and that movement, and like you said, couldn't

93
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: be more proud to be a part of not only

94
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots and our great community, but you know, the

95
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: NFL community as well. Thank you very much, Bran. Next

96
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: we'll go to Mike Greece followed by Dan Rouche. Ryan,

97
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: can you see me? I can't. I think I think

98
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: there's something beyond my screen. I can. I can't see

99
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: any of you because I just see my background. So gotcha, Okay.

100
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: I'd love to just follow up on Mike's question there. Yeah,

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: just so when you talked about hearing those guys tak

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: the double digit year guys, you know, Matthew and julian Um,

103
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: how does that manifest itself like that discussion because you know,

104
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: you guys got a lot to do right getting ready

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: for a game, but you know you obviously carved out

106
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: time to do that. Can you explain sort of how

107
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: that manifests itself? That's more important than football. I mean,

108
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, you sit there and you hear hear them

109
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: talk and hear how they have to teach their children.

110
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you get pulled over, do this or

111
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: else you might not come home alive. I mean, my

112
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: wife always jokes I'm not a very empathetic person. But

113
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: when you sit there and you see a tier running

114
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: down Devin mccordy's face and he's explaining that that's what

115
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to tell his kids, I'm thinking to myself,

116
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: how is this even you know, how is this even possible?

117
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: And I was fortunate enough to be raised to you know,

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: you treat everyone the way you want to be treated.

119
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: And I know that seems so simple, but it's obviously

120
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: not happening, you know, in our country and you know

121
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: throughout the world really and so you see that and

122
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: you realize, you know, this is this is important, and

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: you got to create time. You got to sit down

124
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: and have those conversations, and you know, to be able

125
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: to sit in the locker room and talk for twenty

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: five thirty minutes and say, hey, you know, I hear you.

127
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: I'm here for you. What what can we do to help?

128
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: And I think, like I said, there's something special about

129
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: being in this locker room and I'm so thankful that

130
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm here to be around those guys because they're such

131
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: great leaders. And I you know, when stuff stuff like

132
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: this arises, you look to them because, um, their leadership

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: is is I mean, I don't know if I'll ever meet,

134
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, better leaders than than Devin mccordy and Matt Slater.

135
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I look up to them and you know, they're just

136
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: great men, and uh, you know, follow their lead and

137
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 1: to follow up on that. Brian, you know you've played

138
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: for eight teams, eight different organizations, really twenty five percent

139
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: of the league, right, and so you have this perspective

140
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: um to have players that have been with an organization

141
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: for ten plus years? Is that? Is that a very

142
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean from your view from what you've experienced with

143
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: the other orders, you know, how rare is that? Yeah?

144
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: That's rare. And I've always spoke on this. I think

145
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: even when I came back in twenty seventeen. I remember

146
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: walking back in the locker room and you know, when

147
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: I was here my first stint. You know, you had

148
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: the Matt Lights, the Kevin Fawkes obviously Tom, you know,

149
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: the Stephen Giskowski's, the Teddy Bruskis. You had a bunch

150
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: of guys who were these leaders, the core leaders of

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: the team. And then you come back in twenty seventeen

152
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: and you see that those guys have been replaced by

153
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: guys who I came in with, you know, Devin mccordy, Hightower,

154
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Julian Slater. I mean to have that continuity to have

155
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: where you have these core guys learn from another group

156
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: of core guys and continue that leadership over years is

157
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: so special. I think that's what makes this locker room

158
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: so special, because they are the glue that holds the

159
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: locker room together. And there's a true love for one

160
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: another in that locker room. And it's something that I

161
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: wish everyone in America could experience because I think it'd

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: be a much better place. You know, I know we

163
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: come in here, we have our differences, we're different people,

164
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: but we embrace each other for those things and learn

165
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: to love each other. And really, I think that's what

166
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: makes this locker room, you know, such a great locker

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. And like I said,

168
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm just so thankful that I was able to get

169
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: back here and be a part of it. Thank you.

170
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Next we'll go to Dan Roach and then Megan O'Brien. Hey, Brian,

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: can you hear me? Yes? Okay, good? Probably better thing

172
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: you can't see me. So that's a good part of

173
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: it too. Just for the sense of football wise, you

174
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: guys have had no joint practices, no preseason games, and

175
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick said at the beginning of camp that it

176
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: was almost going to be like getting ready for a

177
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: college football season. Have you seen it? Do you take

178
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: it that way? As you have less than two weeks

179
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: until you're opener. I don't know if I look at

180
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: it that. I look at it like, look, we're all

181
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: in the same boat. Every all thirty two teams are

182
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: in the same boat. You're not doing preseason games, you're

183
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: not doing joint practices. So you got to go out

184
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: there and push yourself against each other. And I know

185
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 1: that can be monotonous, but you try to find the

186
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: challenge in it, and every day and you know, thank

187
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: thankfully for us on offense, we're going against you know,

188
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: a great defense day and day out, and they're giving

189
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: us a lot of different looks. So you have to

190
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: go out there and make adjustments. You have to come

191
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: back in and watch the film and say, Okay, they're

192
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: trying to do this, you know, let's go here. So

193
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: I think you try to make the most of all

194
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: the opportunities you get and just keep working hard and

195
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: take it one day at a time and keep stacking

196
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: those days together, and knowing that you know, in less

197
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: than two weeks you're playing a real game. Will it

198
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: be just a quick follow up? Will it be on

199
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: opening day? Kind of what will your emotions be like

200
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: for the sense of all that you guys have been through.

201
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: But also you guys talk so much about preseason and

202
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: joy practice. You get to face another team and see

203
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: another uniform. Yeah, I mean it's exciting. Honestly, anytime you

204
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: get a chance to go and play an NFL game,

205
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: you should be excited. And I think, you know, looking

206
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: back to previous training camps, whether it be a first

207
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: preseason game or or a joint practice, you're always excited

208
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: to go against somebody else, because, like I said, the

209
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: monotony of going against the same guy, or day you're

210
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: blocking the same guy, you're running your routes on the

211
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: same guy, You're you're throwing against the same defense. You

212
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: know you want to you want to go out there

213
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: and challenge yourself against somebody else. So, like I said,

214
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: any NFL game you have, you're blessed and excited to

215
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: go out and play, but you know it'll be exciting

216
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: to go up against someone else. Keep we'll go to

217
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Megan O'Brien and then Doug kid Hi Brian. Towards the

218
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: beginning of camp, all three quarterbacks and the coaches have

219
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: echoed that this truly is a quarterback competition. As camp

220
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: has progressed, do you still feel like you're competing for

221
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback spot? I mean, I'm always competing for

222
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback spot, whether it was Tom in front

223
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: of me or whether whoever else is here. I think

224
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: you have to look at it that way. You never

225
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: know when your number is gonna get called, You never

226
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: know you know what you are going to get, and

227
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: you really can only control what you can control. So

228
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: I go out there and whatever reps I have, I

229
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: try to go out and executing the best I can.

230
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: And you know, until someone tells me otherwise, I'm always

231
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: going to prepare like that. Next we'll go to Doug

232
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Kaide follow my trade there. Brian, you and Brian Lurkey

233
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: we're basically or you were in Brian lurks X spot

234
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 1: basically in two thousand and nine to Michigan State and

235
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: all that. What have you seen from him? What's your

236
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: relationship like with him? Um? And just what if you

237
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: know it's from from Brian so far. Yeah, he's he's

238
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: been great. He's a very smart kid. He asked a

239
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: lot of great questions. Um, he's learning, and I think, um,

240
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: you know, I look at myself. I was so fortunate

241
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: enough to you know, have those preseason games. So for him,

242
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: it's all about you know, getting in there and when

243
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: he has a rep, going out and executing it and

244
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: doing the best he can. So he's done a great

245
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: job obviously, you know him being a fellow spart and

246
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: I always try to, you know, kind of take him

247
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: under my wing and say, hey, you know, when you

248
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: do this, you know, maybe get your feet set this

249
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: way or whatever it might be. But um, you know,

250
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: he's been great. It's he's a good combination of being

251
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: seen not heard as we always say rookie should be

252
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: and also you know speaking up and asking for you know,

253
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: good questions and you know having some good influt. Yes,

254
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: and un last hand, I see raised his trade there, Ryan,

255
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: Thanks for it. Takes some time with us today. This

256
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: time of year is normally that that fourth and final

257
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: preseason game, and it can create some some nervous energy.

258
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: That's something that you had to live through throughout your career.

259
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: How much different maybe does it feel this time around

260
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: without that same kind of structure there? And are there

261
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: some things maybe you have to do personally to adjust

262
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: the way things are to mimic maybe how that's felt

263
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: in the past. Yeah, I mean, look, I think you

264
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: know it is what it is. Everybody's going through the

265
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: same thing and you know, so now you're just going

266
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: out and whatever you know, type of practices structure, you

267
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: go out and try to execute the best you can.

268
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, I try not to worry about things

269
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: that I can't control. I've learned that over twelve years

270
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, especially with the career that I've had.

271
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: So just go out and when you get opportunity to play,

272
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: you play the best you can, and you know, keep

273
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: stacking the days together. So okay, okay, I think we'll

274
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: end it there. Thank you very much for joining us, Brian,

275
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Michael,
