00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. Um, you know, just taking it

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: day by day and you know, let's looking forward to

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: this week. I'm just trying to trying to take any

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: day by day and you know, keep preparing like I'm

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: going to play this week. And just a follow up,

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: coach made it sound that even though like you knew

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: you couldn't play, you were still really helping out the

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: guys over the last three weeks. And how hard was

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: that sitting out in the last three weeks but at

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: the same time maybe contributing in a coaching way. It

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: was tough, you know, not playing. Um, you know, seeing

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: your guys out there, they guys to compete with every

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: every day, not being ever to help, and but I

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: could help in another way as far as you know,

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: teaching the guys what I see when I'm on the field,

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: and um, you know, teaching them certain techniques and um,

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: certain going against certain guys, how you should playing them? So, um,

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: you know, I try to help as much as I can.

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Thank you. Next question Chris Ryan, followed by Mike Grease.

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: They steph good to see you. Wanted to ask you

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: what about this this year as a whole and how

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: frustrating the year has been with obviously the COVID situation

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: and the injuries, and how have you tried to maintain

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: your positivity as you have to do in the national

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: football You have to you know, be able to take

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: things on it, whatever come your way, and be able

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: to you know, come back and um, keep fighting and

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: keep playing. So that's what it's about, you know, forgetting

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: what happened happened in the past and preparing and um,

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, making plays for your team. So that's how

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I look at it. What are the challenges from your

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: perspective and going up against a guy like the show

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: Watson or you know even Omar Jackson last week which

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: you guys have to see next week with with Kyler Murray,

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: and what makes that type of a quarterback difficult for

41
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: you from from your perspective in sticking with a receiver,

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: you know he's got a lot of great receivers. You know,

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I got a lot of speed on the field. Um.

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: And Deshaun Watson. You know, he can throw every ball

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: and you know he can get out of trouble if

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: you have to. So, UM, you know, we have to

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: play great as a defense. And you know anytime a

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: guy that can they can drive back and throw and

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: he can take off and run. You know, it's hard

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: on it on a defense. So we're gonna have to

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: play a complete team as a complete game as a whole. Thanks.

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Next question, Mike Rerease, fallowed by every Lazar. Hey, Stefan,

53
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: good to see you. It's been a while. I know

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: how you're doing it. Yeah, doing all right. I appreciate

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: the opportunity to talk to you just to help us

56
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: clear some things up. You know, Um, can you explain

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: sort of what you're dealing with, because I think the

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: timing of it, with the trade deadline and everything, let's

59
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: let do some speculation, you know, as to what was

60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: going on with why you weren't on the field. So

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: if you could shed any light on what sort of

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: what you're dealing with, what's kept you off the field,

63
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: I'd be appreciated. Man, I mean, you know, I wasn't

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: able to play out you know, I wasn't physically ready

65
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: to play um these last couple of weeks. So UM,

66
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, things happen. You know you gotta adjust to it.

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: And you know there's no no, nothing would keep me

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: off the field from playing with my teammates. So UM,

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: notice one thing that that stuck with me. So UM,

70
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that I'm you know, progressing and getting

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: better and looking forward to this week. And UM, if

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: I can just follow up step out on one more

73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and UM, I think the whole like, there was a

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: real estate listing for a house at your own and

75
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: it was tied. It came up right around the time

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: of the trade deadline, and we didn't have an opportunity

77
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: to just ask you if there's any connection between those

78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: two things. Um, So I just I feel like I

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: need to ask you because it had been talked about

80
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: at that time, you know, and didn't have a chance

81
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: to ask you. I just wanted to, you know, moved

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: to the city, so I like the city, so no,

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: it's one place I want to go. So that's why

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I thank you, Steph. Next question, Evan Lazar falled by

85
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: Andrew Killing It's stuff. How much are you just kind

86
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: of clamoring to get back out there on the field

87
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: and you can't play in a game again because you

88
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: don't not usually the type of guy that misses many games,

89
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, with the Patriots especially, Yeah, you know when

90
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: you want you out, you know, you really you know,

91
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: sometimes you take things for granted, you know, and I

92
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: never took it for granted, but it makes you really appreciate,

93
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, the grind etem every day. Remember, I appreciate

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: playing on Sundays, you know, and um, you know, you

95
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: really appreciate, you know, just being out there with your teammates.

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: So that's one thing I thought about these last couple

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: of weeks, and I'm happy that I'm back healthy and

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,559

Speaker 1: of based on the trade deadline as well, but how

113
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: did you feel when or if you saw your name

114
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: mentioned in trade talks? Whether it was rumors it was

115
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: reported that there have been discussed some discussions involving you

116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: being part of a trade How did that impact you?

117
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: And do you envision yourself as being a part of

118
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots long term here? Yeah, that's a question you

119
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: got as you know, organization, I don't think I can

00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,839

123
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: in life. You just gotta go out there and enjoy yourself.

124
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: You know, you got great cultures here. You know you

125
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: got great players that you are young players here. That's

126
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,080

127
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: moment and I love being here. I love the culture,

128
