1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: You know, feeling great. You know, can't complain. What was

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: your reaction to being the Patriots nominee for Walter Payton

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year? Blessed? Um. You know when

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: you do certain things in the community and we understand

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: this game it's bigger than what we do on the field. Um,

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: you just do it because you you look at your

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: heart see what uh what can you do to help

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: out another person? And being nominated it's just a blessing,

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: you know because what but what he stood full on

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: and off the field wholes almost wait and held a

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: big legacy as you keep the team to see and

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: it just proves that no matter how big or small

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: you do things, it's always been noticed. Lurch, What would

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: you say changed with the defense? It seems like after

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: that Cowboys game things something change? What was it? The change?

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: We didn't like? I said? Every week we sit there

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: and we we sell scout um. And that's what we do.

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: We self scout everything where we want to get better. UM.

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: We got to figure out what what hurts us, what

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt us, um, and we challenge each other. And

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: the best thing about it is if when we go

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: off to practice that scout team gets us a great look.

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: They come out every single day but willing to compete

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: and push us. Um, and that's what gets us better.

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's gets us and improve, and it gets us to

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: understand and we start building more of the relationship and

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: as we continue to go, we continue to strive to

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: get better. What are your feelings on where the team

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: stands right now? Well, the only thing I truly understand

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: it and truly feels is we got a game coming

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: up on on on that Saturday, and we got to

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: prepare for it. Um, it's a team that's gonna come

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: in here with a team that we're gonna play, gonna

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: come in and give us a fight. Um. So we

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: understand that we were on a bike this bye, so

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: we have to prepare. We got to prepare, we got

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: to recover, we got to understand that, Um, this is

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: going to be a big game, and we got to

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: do everything that we were supposed to be doing for

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the previous weeks. We got to do it this week.

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: Even though we don't have a game on Sunday, we

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: still got to prepare it like we do. Lauren's a

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: couple of guys that brought up in recent weeks just

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: remember it what it don't like to be doing for

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: and how that kind of drives them. Do you feel

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: that same way and the ability sense of that stone

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: markt Um? I think what drives us to be better

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: every week? You know, Um, even though with the outcome

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: was last two nights ago, I want to say it

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: last night two nights ago, UM, we still got to

51
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: get better for that game. We still got to understand

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: what hurt us, what didn't hurt us, what we got

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: to do to prepare for this team coming in, UM.

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: And that's how we got to look at it. And

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: that's when the mindset that is understanding what our goal

56
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: is and what is our opportunity and our goal is

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: to come in and and face took good team and

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: play good and style football. And we got to achieve that.

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: And on the way to achieve that a film study,

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: recovery and still having a conversations with your with yourself

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: and with your teammates of how to get better kind

62
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: of kind of building off of that. With everything you

63
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: guys went through a year ago, some of things you

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: went through the beginning of that, wee does that has

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: that made the success that much more enjoyable and has

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: it made you guys that much hungrier to continue it

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: because because you know what the opposite feeling is that

68
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: to want to keep doing what you're doing because because

69
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: of where you've been or year ago is a year ago,

70
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: you know we no port we're enough to pass. It

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: was the whole different team, whole different team this year. UM,

72
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: I said. What strives us to the goal is have

73
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play. UM, you get to play on

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: on a Saturday night, get to play on the Sunday

75
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: and night, you get to play on Monday night. Having

76
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: an opportunity to playing another game, It's what would truly

77
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: drive you. UM. Being out there to compete with your

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: your you, fellow teammates in practice, drives you to get better. UM.

79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what your record is. UH, you could

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: be when record, it could be a losing record. I've

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: seen both of them. But understand to have an opportunity

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: to continue to play this game and continue to get

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: better at taming the film. Study. That's what drives us

84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: to be better, drives us to go out there every

85
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: single study and play our hearts out. And it's also

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: those people that watch us on us on TV, watch

87
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: us in that stadium, that we're doing them unjust if

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: we don't go out there prepare fully to compete in

89
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: the game, Laurence, after the game of the night, when

90
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: you guys got in the locker room the video that

91
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: we saw Bill as he said done. You know that's

92
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: why we practice in these conditions. Conditions. Um, are you

93
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: sure you can't say that? Well, I can't. Maybe you can, Um,

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: I shouldn't. Next sense, how much do you have to

95
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: embrace that when you when you're actually going through practicing,

96
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: you know this time of the year, and has it

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: changed for you with the course of your time with

98
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots, seeing the payoffs and being out there only

99
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: end in the rain rather than in the bubble time

100
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: we have a bubble cheese. I can't take you last

101
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: I've been in the bubble um. You, like you said,

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: you get used to it. You play in a certain

103
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: conditions because you just understand, no matter what, how is

104
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: you gonna play it on Sunday. Um, And once you

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: like everbody comes in there like oh we go out

106
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: there in the cold to say, yeah, you understand how

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: to play in there? Um. And having that understanding, that

108
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: mental behind it, Yeah, it gets your like Okay, this

109
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: is why we do it. Um. But that's a good question, Like, hey,

110
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be cold, but it is what it is.

111
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna be co regardless in practice on

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: the field, I don't wear sleeves on the field, so

113
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: it's one of those situations like, hey, I'd rather get

114
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: used to it before I get out there and I'll

115
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: be freezing face my butt off for a coat, Lawrence,

116
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: what's the most important aspect previous players? The mental part

117
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: of the break, part of the break, A little bit

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: of boats. Um. You know, we've been going since the

119
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: a lot, so it's been a NonStop of pounding on

120
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: a body. Um. But I think the best thing about

121
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: the buy is that you got this time of recover.

122
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: You got this time to do extra film study, do

123
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: a little self scout. But like I said, get to

124
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: prepare like you're gonna play on Sunday. So if you

125
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: ain't gonna do that in your normal weekday, don't do

126
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: it when you're on the buy. So you won't see

127
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people getting their their body work done,

128
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: getting there, getting their their mental right, um, and understanding

129
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: what the in it. In half of the season, hrtruly

130
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: means exact question, nothing whatever you just observed of divine

131
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: gods where else in the defense, and how he's come

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: along here. I think the whole defense and the whole

133
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: has grown, um, not one individuals for one morning another.

134
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: I think we're all running together at a a think unit.

135
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: And after Front seven and we took those challenges, UM

136
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: to get better. And and he I think he took

137
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: that challenge himself and he's like, Hey, I'm gonna go

138
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: out there and do what I gotta do. We have

139
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: many conversations about the game and what I see and

140
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: what he sees and how we could improve every single week. UM,

141
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: we all understand what we're not good at, we understand

142
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: what we are good at, and we have to challenge

143
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: ourselves to be uncomfortable, UM, to get better. Thank you buddy,

144
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: this took the question and look at
