1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: It's pretty much a funny step. I mean, guys, the

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: guys shang. But you know, just like I say, it's

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: football at the end of the day. In this business,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna come in here and handle my

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: business just like anywhere else I go. You know, no

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: matter if it's football, basketball, track. You know, when you

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: guys you know business, the business, you're surprised at all

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: when the Patriots contacted you. Um, I mean I was surprised,

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: but then again I wasn't because, like I said, it's

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: just I'm just, you know, a free agent. So obviously

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of teams going to contact you or whatever.

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: That's just the business of the game. So you know,

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: I'm always surprised no matter what. Like I'm surprised right now.

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: So just being in the position, is it is it

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: an easy choice to say yes and then come back

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: here just because it's not just about me. Man. You know,

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: I got a family. You know, I got a wife

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: and kids, so I always got to think about them

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: as well. I can't just make decisions based on myself.

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: So I was like leaving the organization. I know that

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: when we were in it, it seemed like there was a

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: a sort of a strange relationship with you guys? Was

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: that overblown? Did you feel like your relationship with your

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's just a change of destination. Man.

25
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, I'm a professional and I

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: just got to be professional about the business. Like I said, business,

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: business can't get upset, you know, do this, do that?

28
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: You know, I just try to pick up where I

29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: left off and move on and take it to the

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: next place. No matter where, have you picked up where

31
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: you want to? Do? You feel like you're I know

32
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: I got a long ways ago, but you know it's

33
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: I always going for improvement and never be perfect. So

34
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying here grinding every day. How was your

35
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: experience in Cleanland? It was good? You know, like I said,

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: you live me, you learn, you know, no matter where

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: you go what you do, you know, you just pick

38
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: up a certain stuff and you move home. How is

39
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Jamie Holmes changed lost time? I changed every day. I

40
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: grow every day, obviously. You know that's what we all

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: hope to do. You know, no one wants to stay

42
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: the same, you know, we all want to mature and

43
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: grow short change a lot. Yeah, like I said, East

44
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: and every day stayed changing it was the familiarity with

45
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: this place. If it was a a big factor and

46
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: coming back, we had to wait all your decisions. Yeah,

47
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean I started here, you know. You know, I

48
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: had the opportunity, you know, to come out and start

49
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: my career here. So obviously, yes, I played a big factor.

50
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: But like I said, it's just the opportunity whichever the

51
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: opportunity is, you know, present itself. And like I said,

52
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: it's not just me making decision, you know, like I said,

53
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I got other people to think about as well. So

54
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: it's a team thing. What's your family excited to come back? Yeah?

55
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: What'd you learn about yourself in Cleveland? To do my job?

56
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Never let put my head down, don't stop, just keep going.

57
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's a bitiness man. You know, like

58
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: I said, I can't I can't fold. I can't give

59
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: up because, like I said, it's not just about me.

60
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I can't give up. I
