1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Anthony, thanks for doing this. Um, but just you know,

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: from going from the practice field to actually being in

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: the stadium, what has the transition been like and what

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: did it say feel like for you? Uh? Well, you know, uh,

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: coach coach Bill, you know, do a great job of

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: creating situation at practice, you know, to feel like the game.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: So like we got to the stadium and day, I

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: mean it was, you know, awesome being in the stadium,

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: but you know it was nothing different from practice because

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: of the situation and you know, the President made me

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: see that practice, so it was no kind of a

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: clean transition. Um, what's it like? You know obviously because

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: from the progression from when you guys were a few

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago to where you're at now, what do you

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: think some of the biggest challenges have been and just

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: how are you adjusting to it all? Uh? You know,

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: just trying to be a sponge. Uh, you know, continue

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 1: to try to improve each and every day. You learn

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: from the bids, you learn how the things go around here,

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 1: and you know, uh, you know, we we we made

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: it strives with making strides as a team. You know,

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: continue to know comb and get better each and every day.

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: You know, we just working together and making the most opportunity.

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: And then personally, if someone wants to you know, I'm

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: gonna keep going. I'll pause after this, I promise, But

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: personally for you, like, what's something that what's your biggest

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: goal right now? Uh? You know, I don't really got

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: any uh you know, anything specifically right now that I

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: want to you know, share, but uh, you know, just

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: like I said, just continue to be a sponge and

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,240

Speaker 1: on behalf of Karen Um. She would like to know

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: if you feel like coming from Alabama and playing in

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: that defense has helped you learn and adjust to the Patriots. Uh,

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: you know definitely. Just you know how the program at

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Alabama is run, and you know it's a lot similar

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: to how you know the Pagriots run. Uh this this

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: this team and this organization. Uh you know, a lot

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,280

Speaker 1: the the culture and you know just the team. Uh

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, just it's a lot of stuff that carried

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: over from Alabama that you know that we implemented here

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: at the Patriots. Oh yeah, and and can I fall

47

Speaker 1: off of that? Fall up at that? Anthony speaking up,

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: like just that transition going from Alabama to where you

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: are now? Like what has that really impacted going from

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, college, although too prout, Like what's the biggest

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: jump there? Or do you think that you're gliding through

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: this uh pretty easily. I mean, I don't think I'm

53
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: just blind because it's a lot of stuff that you

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: at practice, you know then that we could put in

70
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: at the game, like we had a little you know

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,200

72
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960
