1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's good morning. I know in the past

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: time we've talked to you, you've said that nights after

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: tough losses you don't sleep that much. Can I assume

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: that last night was one of those nights, coming off

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: the effort against the Dolphins yesterday? Yeah, that's a good assumption. Man.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: I was, you know, just tossing and turn them, so

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: not much sleep, and you know you used to have

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: a lot of emotion after the game, so just not

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: a you know, you hate to have nights like that,

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: but you got to do something to change them. So

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's important for us to just you know, realize,

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're our goals are ahead of us, and

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: we got to go out there. We've got to try

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: to have our best week and figure out how to

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: win a game. Is the process to after a game

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: like that, Tom, a tough game, like you said, do

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: you watch the Bills tape right away? Do you know

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: with a playoff game looming you immediately go to Tennessee

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: what's your process like in a situation like that? I mean,

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: we I'm sure we've all watched the film multiple times

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: at this point, and you know it's a it's a

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: short week. So it's just it's a quick turnaround. So

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, like every game, you gotta watch it and

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: try to correct it and then try to move on

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, win or lose. So it's just

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: a you know, everyone wishes the outcome. We're different yesterday,

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: but it wasn't and you know we we're the only

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: ones I could do it. And you know every team

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL has talented players, and if you don't

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: play as well as you're capable of playing, then you

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: know that's the that's the way the game games end

32
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: up going. So it's tough loss, and we got to

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: turn it around quick and and try to go have

34
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: a great win. Now, Tom, I know I haven't played

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: in a long time, but I still think about plays

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: that define games when I played. How it's a great

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: accomplishment to make the playoffs, but how disappointing is it

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: to know that you you you in perfect position as

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: a team to have that first around buying you let

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: it slip through your fingers and now tell yourself, okay,

41
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: we can't allow that to rent space and I had

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: moving forward. That's really important in a great way to

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: look at it too, because you I mean, you can't

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: change anything from yesterday. You can try to correct it

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: and learn from it, but you can't change it. So

46
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone feels disappointment. I mean that's just part

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: of the natural, you know, part of the game that

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: you feel when you don't play your best and you lose,

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: and you you know, you do things that allow you

50
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: to lose. And for me, that's what I think about.

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: You know, the plays that I made that I missed

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: that go to give us a chance to win. But

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's not my first loss, and you know,

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: you realize that one week doesn't lead to the next week,

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: and this week is a new week, and we're gonna

56
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: have to put a lot into it in order to

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: get as much as we can out of it. And

58
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: that's to try to, you know, play our best football

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: in the biggest game of the year, because if we

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: don't win this one the games, you know, season's over.

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, fortunately, our seasons still going. And even though

62
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: we lost yesterday or we still have a chance next week,

63
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: and that's better than a lot of teams, and they're

64
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: not going to take it. They're granted that you know,

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: we win this week, are you know, that's our season

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: keeps going, and that's that's a good place to be, Tom.

67
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: How difficult does it make it when you're game prepping

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: against somebody who used to coach you or play alongside you. Granted,

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: your opponent this coming Saturday, you haven't played with Rabel

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: in over a decade, but he still knows you pretty well,

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: and you had those group practices this summer yesterday, obviously,

72
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: you go against someone who used to be on the

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: offensive staff and your defensive coordinator. Does that lead to

74
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: second guessing or is there a lot of preparation that's

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: that's along the lines of they may think we're going

76
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: to do this, so we may have to try a

77
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: little harder to come up with something more creative to

78
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: trick them. Yeah. I think it's just you know, good execution,

79
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, because at this point, I may you look

80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: at Buffalo, you know their offensive coordinator used to be

81
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: with us. And you look at Miami, you know their

82
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: offensive quarter and our defensive quater head coach. If you

83
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: look at you know the Jets, for example, Adam Gase

84
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: coach with Josh McDaniels, so they know him and Ray

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Bowl and in Tennessee and Billy O'Brien and Houston. So

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: there's just you know there in the league, there's a

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: lot of guys who have played, who have coached for

88
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots that are now in different places, and you know,

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: it's good. Good football is good football, and that's keeping

90
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: the fundamentals and you know, throwing the ball accurately and

91
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: making plays in the passing game and you know, execute

92
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: on the run game. I mean, that's what football comes

93
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: down to. So you could draw up a lot of

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: plays and what ultimately comes down to us getting the

95
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: job done on the field. And that's what we're gonna

96
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: have to do this week. When you mentioned last week

97
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: with us, Tom that you knew this was a playoff

98
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: game yesterday and Bill mentioned it as well, I guess

99
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: going back to the first quarter, the slow start and

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: the impact on it, they have the ball for almost

101
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: twelve minutes and offensively not getting a lot going. How

102
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: much have that changed the game from your p sspective,

103
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: that slow start at home in that first quarter. Yeah,

104
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: you know, we got good field position on the first

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: drive and just went three and out, and that was

106
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: just not the way you want to start, especially at home.

107
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: You got to start fast, and play well, and you

108
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: know we didn't do it. So we gave them, you

109
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: know a lot of opportunities and you know they took

110
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: advantage of it. So, um, you know, we just we

111
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: just we just didn't play well. So I don't think

112
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: there's there's not when I'm making excuses, that's not what

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's no point. It's just all about us

114
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: having to do a better job than we did last week. Now,

115
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: for every game, you try to take some things away

116
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: that you can kind of build learn off of things

117
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: that you didn't do well, try to get better. Right,

118
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: yesterday's game, it seemed like you had pretty good protection.

119
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: There seemed like there were some passes that might have

120
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: got away from you. Obviously the interception, you know, you

121
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit. Maybe you talked about

122
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: that being a bath for old maybe going in a

123
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: little bit late to julie him out there in the flat.

124
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: What do you try to take away from the negative

125
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: plays in the game and now so you'll prepare yourself

126
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: next week and not put yourself back in say some

127
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: of them same situations. Yeah, that's just it. You know,

128
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it's um, you know, it's just there's there's a lot

129
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: of different you know ways that we played this year.

130
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: And uh, you know yesterday we had plays I certainly

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: did that I should make and I didn't make them.

132
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: And you know that's why that's why you lose games. So, um,

133
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: you know it's this week. It's got to be more concentration, focus, determination,

134
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: and attitude on everything has to be at it at

135
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: its top, top top this week. And uh, you know,

136
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: he's got to get to a great place where we're

137
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: confident and trusting and going out there and execute at

138
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: our highest level. And I mean we can certainly execute

139
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot that than we did yesterday. We had too

140
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: many unforced there things that um, you know, Miami didn't

141
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: even have to do to stop us. And I think

142
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: that's when you know you're disappointing the way you played it.

143
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: That it's just self inflicted airs, which really where you know,

144
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: if they if they go make and I give them

145
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: all the credit for winning, but you know there's things

146
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: that we did that we just we shouldn't do, and

147
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: we got to tighten those things up. And Tom you

148
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: said in the past with us and sometimes you see

149
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: it in the week of practice before. Was it something

150
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: you guys noticed heading into the week that maybe the

151
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: focus wasn't there heading into a big game. Uh, you know,

152
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: there's definitely weeks where you don't practice great and you

153
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: play well, and there's weeks where you don't where you

154
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, practice really great and don't play well. And um,

155
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: so it's you know, we've we've certainly had you know,

156
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: our fair share of practices that haven't been great. Um,

157
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: but that's I would that's kind of light football season.

158
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a game of skill and you're

159
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: making split second decisions in and you know, we just

160
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: again I think comes down to what we did yesterday

161
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: and our execution and having they do it at a

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: much higher level than you did yesterday. Tom this week,

163
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: we've decided that the Needham Bank player of the game,

164
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Needham Bank, can we be your Bank? Is Elanden Roberts, who,

165
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: as we talked about previously in conversations with you here

166
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: on Patriots Monday, embodies the spirit to many of us

167
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: of the twenty nineteen Patriots, everyone having to give it

168
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: all they got, switching sides from defense to play offense.

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: He's been an excellent fullback for the team and yesterday

170
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: caught that touchdown pass thought you guys may be sitting

171
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: on that play for a while and the stadium blew

172
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: up and everyone was so excited for him after that.

173
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: That was a real That was quite a motivating play.

174
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: Can you talk a little bit about what it's been

175
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: like to see Elanden switchover and play so well and

176
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: give it everything he's got on both sides of the ball. Yeah,

177
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: he really, you know, did a great job. And you know,

178
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: we ran that play earlier in the game and he

179
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: was open and u you know, they kind of pressured

180
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: us and not expecting us to throw the ball. And

181
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: the second time we got him and got my eyes

182
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: on him and threw it to him and made a

183
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: really great catch and then made a great run. So

184
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, that guys does everything the team

185
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: asked him to do, and it's just a great teammate, captain, contributor,

186
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: and just really really proud of him and his effort.

187
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: And you know, we're gonna all need to have our

188
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: best game this week. Whatever role that we're in and

189
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: however we're playing, we're gonna need to do our very dest.

190
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: That was Trent Green said, Look, they see a land

191
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: and Roberts Tom, they don't cover him because they don'tink'renna

192
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: throwing the football. But he made a good play. Did

193
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: that play going this week? Because that's something you guys

194
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: saw other teams ignore him defensively and say, hey, we

195
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: can find this thing open. Well, we hadn't thrown the

196
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: ball really much with him. I don't know, if we lost,

197
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: we might have lost Tom on his and we can

198
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: try to pick him up. Oh yeah, now we got

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: your Tom. Thanks that. Okay, Yeah, I mean we haven't

200
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: thrown the ball much with him in there, and we

201
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: were able to do it yesterday a little bit. And

202
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: he just you know, he showed that he could make

203
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: the plays and that was a great thing to just

204
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: to see. So hopefully we can keep building on it,

205
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: and you know, he keeps doing a great job for us,

206
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: he gets more opportunity. You mentioned the fits. He mentioned

207
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: the Titans. You're gonna play them Saturday night at Gillette Stadium. Uh,

208
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: do you go back and look at last year's regularly

209
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: season game? I mean, that was pretty convincing Titans win.

210
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: Are they similar to that? Are they different? Is it

211
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: worth going back and looking at that to try to

212
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: get ready or is it stuff this year for the Titans. Yeah, definitely.

213
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're playing well. So they've got some great

214
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,119
Speaker 1: rushing attack, They're you know, got a lot of playmakers

215
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: on offense. Um, Ryan Tanner. Hill's doing a great job

216
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: from the quarterback and defense. They mix it up a lot,

217
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: good cover guys, good blitzing scheme. Um. You know, they

218
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: got good cover guys. They rushed the quarterback goods. So

219
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough game and we're gonna have

220
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: to Wenna, have to bring it and that's that's what

221
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: our goals got to be. Now you talked about early on.

222
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of teams out there that

223
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: I wish they were going to be playing next weekend. Uh,

224
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: you go this route here, it's something that you you

225
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: knew to do. And uh, I remember Carolina, we went

226
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: the wild cod route and we ultimately made it to

227
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, we uh came up a little

228
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: s a little bit short to a Patriots led team.

229
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: How do you get these players to to look at

230
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: the bigger picture, right, you know, you can't worry about

231
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: what we lost, but what we have in front of us.

232
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of examples of that, like

233
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: the Philly and two seventeen. I mean they did it

234
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: that way too. Um, you know, the Giants in two

235
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: thousand and eleven against US, the Giants in two thousand

236
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: and seven against US. So we don't have to look

237
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: very far, you know, to realize that it's about, you know,

238
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: one game and one game to move on, and it's

239
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: a tournament and single elimination, and it's not anything that

240
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: any of us have done all season. None of it

241
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: matters now every team zero and zero. Some teams get

242
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: a buy, some teams get home field, but everyone's got

243
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: a chance to go and compete until you lose. So

244
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, for us, we're not looking at you know,

245
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: games beyond this. One is about one week and you've

246
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: got to pour everything we got into it and try

247
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: to go out there and play our best game. Tom.

248
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you were focused on trying to get the

249
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: ball down the field to try to get into field

250
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: goal position to tie the game up or score more

251
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: points in the final minute of the game. But I

252
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: have to ask, did you hear the crowd chanting your name,

253
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: showing some appreciation for what they hope wasn't your final

254
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: regular season game as quarterback of the Patriots at home. Yeah, man,

255
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: that was pretty sweet. I wish I were to come through.

256
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: You know, that's and then they've had great sport for

257
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: so long, and you know, we've got a great crowd,

258
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: great great you know, home field advantage, and we're gonna,

259
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna meet it Saturday night. We're gonna

260
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: have to go give him the lots of reasons to

261
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: cheer and be excited, come out with a lot of

262
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: energy and a lot of toughness and a lot of

263
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: toys and go cut it loose against you know, a

264
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: really good football team. So I appreciate it. You know,

265
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: I'm you know, every year that goes by, I feel like,

266
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: you know, how privileged I am to still be doing

267
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: what I love to do and playing in front of

268
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: the best, best fans in the country. Is you know,

269
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: it's just a great feeling for me. Time down for

270
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback question of the week. Tease it a little bit.

271
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Last week we talked to you Tom. It aired on Friday.

272
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Did you get a chance on Friday night to watch

273
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the NFL one hundred program with yourself and uh coach Belichick.

274
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: I saw a part of it, I called part of

275
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: it not the whole thing. But it was just a

276
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: great thing to be a part of and to do

277
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: a coach Belichick was it was great. We did it

278
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: in May this last year. So you know, the NFL

279
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: has done a great job and putting it all together.

280
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm you know, if you're a fan of football, they're

281
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: great things to watch and you see all the people

282
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: that played and contributed just you know, been a part

283
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: of a great, great sport, one that I love. And

284
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, competition brings out the best and all of us,

285
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: and uh, there's been a lot of great competitors over

286
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: the years, and uh, you know, we have a lot

287
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: of great competitors on our on our team and our roster,

288
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: and we're going to go out there and do our

289
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: best to show it Saturday night. Now. One of the

290
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: things that stood out to me about that NFL one

291
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: hundred that you guys were talking about is the and

292
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: and Bill brought this up, is just the leadership and

293
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: confidence that you have as a player. And you know,

294
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to be there early in your career.

295
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things when people ask me,

296
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: what is it that makes you such a great quarterback?

297
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: And I tell him that something about him. He's always

298
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: had this confidence in this leadership. You know, where do

299
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: you attribute that from? You know, where where did that

300
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: come from? Because it was something that you had early

301
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: in your career and you you know, ultimately now you

302
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: still have that as far as that leadership, of that

303
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: confidence and that ability to go out there and and

304
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: and and and try to obtain every goal possible individually

305
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: and team wise. Yeah, that's uh, you know, I just

306
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: I love being a part of the team and you
