1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Hey, Henry, how are you ben? Oh yeah, how are

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: you doing well? Thank you? Um, so kind of basic question.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: But obviously your first few weeks here in New England practicing,

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if oots are pretty much the same

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: wherever you've been what you've been here. But what's something

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: that might be new, work different that you've kind of

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: come to learn that you didn't know until obviously you

8
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: got in the building and now today on the field. Yeah,

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty I mean standard across the league,

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: like the structure of it. Um, this is always just

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: a good time to really, I mean, especially now for

12
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: me coming in as a new player, to really get

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: into the playbook. We're not in pads obviously, we won't

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: be in pads still training camp. So um, it's it's

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: really important for me now and for all of us

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: really to really get into the details of the playbook. UM,

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: try to get communication down. We got a lot of

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: new faces here, so just you know, communicating with each other,

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: getting to know each other and how how different guys

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: kind of communicate on the field. I think that's kind

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: of the biggest part, and that's always that that's always

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: for me, kind of the most effective part of of

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: OTAs is really getting the playbook part down. And I

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: know you mentioned system fit or at least kind of

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: admiring the Patriots system and here in New York and

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: then maybe in Indianapolis. Is it is it lived up

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: to what you thought it is or are there any

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: nuances that are particularly different? Like, well, what strikes you

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: about it? I guess from what you expected. Yeah, I

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's it's a fun defense to play.

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: And I've still i mean we're still pretty early. Um

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: So right now, like I said, I'm just trying to

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get comfortable with with all the communication,

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: with the terminology and everything like that. And uh, you know,

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: as we continue to as we continue to wrap things,

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: everything will be you know, going a lot smooth, a

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: lot smoother. Um. But yeah, right now, it's just all

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: about kind of making sure I get get used to

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: all the different terminology and everything like that. Thanks. Yeah,

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: next question from Allen. Thanks Devanie Henry, Welcome to New England.

41
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. You know you my pleasure. You played for

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: two locales that we're big rivals obviously for the Patriots

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: in terms of on the field, and if I asked

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: the fan base of those two locales what they thought

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: of the Patriots, I would get a completely different story

46
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: what I expect to get from you, but from from

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: playing with the Cults and the Jets. What was it

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: like or or thinking about you're thinking about the Patriots

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: when you were with those teams in terms of translating

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: it to now you're one of the Patriots. Yeah, I

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: mean it's uh, I think I didn't have too much

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: success whenever we played the Patriots. I think I don't

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: know if we ever beat the Patriots. So yeah, and

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: I was with the Jets, I don't think. I don't

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: think we'd ever beat the Patriots my three years there. So, Um,

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: they're always there's are always some rough games, but it's

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's good being here. I always you know,

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: the stadium is awesome. It's uh, the fans are always

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: outside of last year obviously when they weren't in the stadium. Um,

60
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: the fans have always been pretty loud and it's been

61
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: a fun place to play. So I'm just excited to

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: to get the opportunity to play here and and uh,

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: and to play in front of a fan base fan

64
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: base like that. What Um, what was you thinking about

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: this team as a defense when you looked at it

66
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: from the outside. Uh yeah, I mean it's a good's

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: it's a you know, three four. It means they do

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: a lot of different stuff. They move guys around, UM,

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: put guys in different positions to succeed. So UM, it's

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,559
Speaker 1: just a it's it's a fun defense to watch. Um,

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: guys will be kind of like I said, moving, especially

72
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: with defensive line and kind of moving around and um,

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: playing different guys strength. So uh yeah, I mean it's

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: been fun. Like I said, right now, I'm still trying

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: to kind of learn the basics and the fundamentals of defense.

76
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: And then as we continue to rep this through OTAs

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: and then going into training in camp, I'll get a

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: better you know feel for everything, and um, but yeah,

79
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: right now, a lot of it's just kind of getting

80
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: comfortable with all the terminology, like I was saying. And

81
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: you're part of a pretty what turned out to be

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: a pretty big free agency class coming to New England,

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: which is a bit uncharacteristic for this team. As you

84
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: look around to the players that came in through free

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: agency and also the draft, I'm sure you see a

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent. But I'm sure you know it's hard

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: in your mind. It's it hard to go from free

88
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: agent talent on paper to talent on the field. What

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: do you like, what do you mean another one? You've

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: got talent on paper, good players. How hard is it

91
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: to take that talent and put it on the field

92
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: and create a good team to the talent. Yeah, I

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: mean it's just a matter of Yeah, I mean, it's

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: just a matter of execution. Um. Right now, everyone on

95
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: the team, like we're all kind of we're all on

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: the same onset, and you know, we're all learning the playbook,

97
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: trying to fine tune the small details and work on

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: our fundamentals and technique through all the drill work. Um.

99
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: And I know personally, yeah, I mean, it's just it's

100
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: it's all about um trying to trying to form relationships

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: with teammates. That's that's what's great about OTAs and UM

102
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: and just learning how guys next to you play. Like

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: I said, we got a lot of new faces. Uh,

104
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to you know, we're all trying

105
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: to get used to the way the guy next to

106
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: us plays and communicates when we're on the field. So UM,

107
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, it's just a matter of coming in,

108
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: putting your head down, working and executing when you're out there. Great,

109
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: Thanks Henry. Hopefully down the road we get a chance

110
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: to see you guys in person instead of being on

111
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: a zoom call. Yeah, I appreciate you. Any more questions

112
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: for Henry? All right? Thank you so much, Henry. Appreciate

113
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: you doing this for us today for sure,
