<v Speaker 1>way now that you're in the in the NFL. I

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>try to watch the games when I can. If we

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>have a home game, I try to shoot down there,

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, if they have a home game as well,

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, get down there and watch the game. And then, um,

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>being from the new Elizabeth, I talked to the quarterback

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>P J. Walker, who's from Elizabeth, So I talked to

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>him a little bit. So I'm you know, I'm familiar

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and I talked to those guys. All right, So coach

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Bulls says that he wears Temple I'll gear every day.

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you see him every day in Temple gear every day?

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>You know he got a switch shirt shirt onto something.

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Then you know, I try to wear you know, my

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Temple gear as well, you know when I'm in facility

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>to We talked about it before. Larry with the MO says, uh,

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Coach Bulls said this earlier. I said, this guy gets

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>special privileges. He's a Temple guy, and they're both both

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>local guys that bad bowls from here and of course

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Bo from Linden High School. Uh mo, yesterday, let's put

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it to bed. Your thoughts on that ball game, the

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty three loss of the Patriots. I think we did

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good things and we did some things, uh,

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you know a lot of bad things. Well not a

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of bad things, but some of the stakes that

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>we made was spared us to lose the game. And

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>we learned from that about watching film today and we're

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>going to get better the things we did positive and

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, things that we did wrong. Learn from everything.

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, get moved forward and get ready for Oakland, Mohammed.

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>When you look at it, when you review the video

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>from yesterday, is it and you look at those corrections,

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>is it we're right there? Just miscommunication on certain place

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>or is it just listen, they made the place, We

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>were right there, but guys made plays. I think there

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>was just some communication and then uh on no part,

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, Tom Brady making plays. You know, it's that simple. Yeah,

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>So you guys came the complex today. Todd Balls, I

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta imagine same. He's always study no matter what happens.

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>If you guys win, if you lose, whatever, what do

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you say to you guys? So you know, uh, just

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>we gotta move forward and get ready for Oakland. We

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>can't you know, do it on this loss. You know,

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day we see them again,

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, at home. So you know, everybody's you know,

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to that. But right now, you know, just

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>focus on Oakland and and make sure we doesn't you know,

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>have the same mistakes you know that we had in

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>New England, and you know which may cause us to

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>lose a game. You almost had your first interception of

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the year yesterday. Huh, that was a heck of an

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>athletic play. We knew that. You know, those guys you

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 1>know run some quick slants and you know try to

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>get the ball out quick. And on that play, you know,

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I try to just defeat the cut block and get

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>my hands up, you know, hopefully next time I catch

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>it down. So if you caught that one, you know,

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of green in front of you. I'm thinking

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you might have took that one back. The big man

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>would have been tumbling down. Did you be in so

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>dance ready? No? No, any mom? And how tough is

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>it though? To put that behind you and now get

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>ready for for Oakland, which is another conference game, which

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>are important because conference games and divisional games down the

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>road are type breaker games. So well, everybody definitely wanted

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>to get that one up to Foxborough. But I can

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>said learn from it and move forward, and you know,

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>get ready for Oakland. We got to travel out there.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.559
<v Speaker 1>You know a lot of different things that can be distractions.

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>But you know, with the great retroan leaders we have

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in locker room, you know we're gonna be preparing ready

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>for them. You said, great veteran leaders. You're a veteran now,

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and I know you've taken on some uh leadership in

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that locker room as well. Who are some guys that

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you look up to and say, hey, listen, those guys

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>are what makes this room special. Because Brandon Marshall was

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>saying that the other day, there's a special spirit in

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>here going on. We got we got guys like Dave Calvin,

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, Brandon Fits, you know Brick you know man go,

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you know I can you know, keep going. But having

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>all those great, you know, older guys in the locker

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>room who can keep the team together and then at

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day look up to them knowing

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that they're coming out there and they're you know, putting

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>in working and working hard and making plays out there.

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>So it's only the right that the younger guys you

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>know this follow What do you think about Fits? Brenno

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>told me last week said, guys a hell of a

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>competitor and he'll tuck that ball under and run. Wow,

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>he took some shots yesterday, But he just keeps on

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>getting up and he's ready to roll. He's definitely a

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>tough competitor, you know, and just seeing the head that

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>he took on the sideline, you know, and you know,

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>just Iron, you know, he earned more respect from me,

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, just by him taking their head and getting

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>up and get ready for the next play. You see Fitzpatrick,

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 1>you see Chris Harvey another guy that let those out punishment.

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>What does that do defensively for you guys when you

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>see your offensive guys fighting hard like that? What was

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that dude mindset for you guys? Well, we know that,

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you know pretty much. It just you know, breaking down

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that defense. You know, every single play, you know, Ivory,

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, Brandon out there and making play, stiffing and dbs.

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, they pretty much just being out physical in

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>that defense. And uh, that's what we want. So once

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>we get out there on the field, you know, we

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do that to that offense. Sheldon Richardson is

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 1>rejoined you guys up front, got back to actual two

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>games under his belt. Now, he played a lot yesterday.

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>How do you think he's doing since he's come back

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 1>to the lineup, Well, Shelton is always gonna be himself

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and we know the type of that he can be.

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And as you can see, went out there, you know,

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 1>got there's two sacks and um, you know, he's gonna

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>keep making plays for us and we're gonna keep getting better.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>He's he's only gonna help just de line up front

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.239
<v Speaker 1>get better. You know, Mohammed. Every time I turn around,

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I see something with you and your foundation. How the

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>impact you're having with your foundation in the community. Talk

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about your foundation and some of the

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>things that you've been able to do. I think you know,

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>this month, O had a breast cancer lunch and you know,

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>my mom and my grandmother both survivors, and also had

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, a dinner um event at Morton's quill Well,

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>me and my teammates, we were the waiters. So you know,

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a little things like that, you know that help

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.359
<v Speaker 1>out my foundation, just to give back to the community,

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that's what it's all about. You know.

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm blessing and I'm happy that I could be, you

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>know in a situation where Matt where I can help

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>out others, and it's got to be more because you're

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>from the area, and you're putting back into that every

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>where you can. Oh, definitely, that's what makes it more special.

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:57.119
<v Speaker 1>So last Monday, you were at Morton's, you were waiting

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>some tables. How did you handle that? I think I

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>did you. Well, you know, Calvin was struggling a little bit.

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>He was sweating, you know, back, you know, trying to

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>messed up a few orders. But you know I helped

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>them out. Though. Well, how do we know who's gonna

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>argue with you to tell you that their order was

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>messed up. I'm not standing there saying I want my

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>take my food back. Look at it you, I'm not

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna say that. Yeah, and you listen, I'll tell you what.

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>These guys come out and support you because they know

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>how much it means to you. And what can you

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>say about the guys in the room, Because when you

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>go out in the community and you want them to

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>participate in your events, a lot of guys come out.

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, it's just the brotherhood that we have.

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want the field, but off the field

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. You know, it's it's not just my foundation.

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, everybody were always supporting each other, and you

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.679
<v Speaker 1>know that's what makes the bond that much special. Mommy
