1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hello close John.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: To start a little bit about having your opportunity yesterday

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: in that goal line period to play some.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Fullback and on the other side of the ball. But

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: now you get to leave bloc on people and you

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: do something a little different.

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Man, I was just playing football. I didn't even know

8
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: I was on the other side, to be honest. Uh,

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: it's just another opportunity to stay on the field. So

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm just happy to, you know, just be on the field.

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Do you think it was fair that all of a sudden,

12
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: your great teammates, all eleven of them, are trying to

13
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: kill it is what it is. You know, it's football team.

14
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna be the hammer, You're gonna be the nail,

15
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: and uh hopefully I'll be the hammer when it comes

16
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: to those guys. But you know, uh, like I said,

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: it's just football.

18
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: How much fun is that? It's fun?

19
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: You know, you get to It's cool to see that

20
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: Bill can trust me thinking about offensive players while I'm

21
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: making sure I got my defensive reps and uh stuff

22
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: going on. So I'm glad that he's put a lot

23
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: of trust to me to do that kind of stuff.

24
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: So just gonna keep it going.

25
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: How much grown, how much you seem like you're getting

26
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: better and better game by game this year a Patriot,

27
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: I think I'm not sure. I just know that as

28
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: I grow, the team grows. So if I'm doing well,

29
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: then that means the defense is gonna keep doing well.

30
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: So I'm not really.

31
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: All I've been trying to do since I've been here

32
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: is gain trust by every guy that I'm playing with,

33
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: whether it was on special teams or on defense, and

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: now I gotta build that trust with the offensive guys

35
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: when I whanna if we're ever in that situation.

36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Is there anything in.

37
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: Particular on defense, like a certain aspect of your game

38
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: you're focused on getting better at this offseason? Uh, to

39
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: be honest, big thing is just communicating because that's what

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: you need in the defense. If one persons not especially

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: as a linebacker, you gotta be the.

42
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: One to talk.

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Can't be just Bentley out there, can't be just Mac.

44
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: It's gotta be a full like line back room that's

45
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: on the same page. That that way, we can do

46
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: certain things that we'd love to do as as as

47
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: a core. So the communication is what we strive in

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: our room to improve on. So that was one thing

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: that I made sure to continue.

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: Uh, I had a lot.

51
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 2: You know, but the biggest thing was every time he

52
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: gets to rep, just treated like at your last and uh,

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 2: just stay healthy.

54
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing.

55
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I've played with him since Pop Warner, So

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: I've played with him in college and high school Pop

57
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Warner and now we get to you know, hopefully I

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: get to have some reps with him, uh, you know,

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: whether it's preseason, if he makes it what you know,

60
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: I can't really speak in the future, but that's a

61
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: dream and a goal that we've always put out there for,

62
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: not just myself and him, but my other brothers. So yeah,

63
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm just happy as hell to be able to see

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: someone in front of me with long hair and our

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: last name.

66
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: So so it's nice.

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: That'd be a big collision, you know, that'll get back

68
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: to our little rivalry games. But right now, I'm just

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: trying to make sure that he's on the same page.

70
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: That goes back to the communication part. So if I

71
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: could teach him, especially a rookie, then I could teach anybody.

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: And I can make sure that all eleven of us

73
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: who are out there on the field on the same

74
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: page at the same time.

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it. It's it's literally

76
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: a I don't know.

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: It feels like a dream because a lot of times

78
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: you got to pinch yourself because there's two of us,

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: you know, like you know, and we're grateful because the

80
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: Patriots have shown that before where they've had brothers and

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: they've been successful. So we just hope that we can

82
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: do the same thing. But right now we're what is

83
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: the day for of training camp? We can't look that

84
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: far ahead.

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: We just right now.

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: I'm just enjoying every day I get to come out here,

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: walk on the field and share the same field with him,

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: other football conversations with him, with your dad, mom aunt.

89
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much football.

90
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: In your family, is it.

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: Here and there?

92
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: You know, when we're off the field, we got maybe

93
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: thirty minutes of football talk and then we're back to

94
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: reality because you know, off the field, we have our

95
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 2: own lives.

96
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: He has a son, so we talk about his kid.

97
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: And yeah, like I said, we're regular people too, you know,

98
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: we got we got our.

99
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Bills to pay.

100
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: So once we get off the field, we're playing cards,

101
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: we're playing we're having our other rivalries, you know. So

102
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: if he ever needs help, then I'm always there to

103
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: make sure that he knows his plays.

104
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: But other than that, we're we're just Yeah, does mom

105
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: give football advice?

106
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: I mean she played it, she did, but her biggest

107
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: thing was just for us to have fun, for us

108
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: to take care of each other, make sure that you know,

109
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: we weren't doing anything like dumb.

110
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: So he's always had my back.

111
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: I've always had his, whether it was at Hawaii or here,

112
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: and uh, we're just gonna continue to make sure that

113
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: that continues. Uh. Food out here in Boston, man, there's

114
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what I forgot what it was called,

115
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: but it's in North End.

116
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: Polly's Polly's. Uh, they're they're lobsters.

117
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: I'm about to take him probably this weekend, so that

118
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: that'll be the spot to go.

119
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, Detroit, can you beat that? How do

120
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: you player? Since you're trying to Detroit now that you uh,

121
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Just like I said before, it's just.

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: Me taking accountability on controlling what I can control. You know.

123
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: I think out there I was living up to the

124
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: hype or whatever, was listening to the critics or whoop

125
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: the whoop, But out here I knew what it was,

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: and I knew that I had just start from the

127
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: ground up and build that trust. So as soon as

128
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: I could build it, and I still am trying to

129
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: build that trust with everybody, I think I can you know,

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: I can grow as high as I wanted to, Like,

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: you know, this guy's a limit right now. So I'm

132
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: we're literally, like I said, we're day what is day four?

133
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: Day five?

134
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: A training camp, and I'm gonna continue to build trust

135
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: on all three phases along those lines building It seems

136
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: like you're getting some more covered responsibilities so far in

137
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: this camp and you're making some plays. Is that element

138
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: to the game you're feeling more comfortable with. I mean,

139
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: I've always felt comfortable in it. That's never been a

140
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: question for myself. I've never doubted myself on any ability

141
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 2: that that I have. But like I said, when you

142
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: have the communication and you're on the same page, everyone's right,

143
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: you can't you can't really mess it up on defense,

144
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: you know. So I'm just gonna keep going back to

145
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: that communication part with us because as long as we're

146
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: on the same page, then everything works itself out. Camp

147
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: did like today we see mac Wilson getting his hands

148
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: on two balls.

149
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Today we write about him poor and blah blah blah.

150
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: What have you seen from him behind the scenes, so

151
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: we don't get to see that might be driving some

152
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: of that production, you see.

153
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: Any change from Mac is just a dog.

154
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: You know. I'm happy that he's getting his opportunities right now.

155
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: But he's a dog and he's got it. You know,

156
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: he's got his stuff, he's got to do. But yeah,

157
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: it's my dog, so I'm I'm not.
