Alright, 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: let's go. 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: Hey, I wanna ask you a question. So getting a 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 2: contract extension prior to the season is never a movie. 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: It kind of like, man, what's gonna happen next year? 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Is it? 7 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 2: Is there a week in any way to have that security? 8 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: Uh? I mean, of course, I mean everybody, you kind 9 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: of if you look into the future in that aspect, 10 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: it's definitely a kind of a a sire of re 11 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: least for lack of a better word. But at the 12 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: same time, like I've kind of been saying this ever 13 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: since I've been at the Porty, I'm always focused on 14 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: kind of the next thing. But obviously I'm excited to 15 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: still be a part of the family and I'm excited 16 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: to see what the future holdes well. 17 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 3: Uh, Matthew was just talking about your message to the team. 18 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: Today about you know, forget what happened in the past. 19 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: How important is that to you in in the streets 20 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: that you guys start basically your journey today. Uh, it's 21 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: it's huge, huge, Excuse me, huge, because I mean, none 22 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: of that stuff matters. You gotta focus on what matters 23 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: at the moment. Obviously. Uh, it's gonna be a lot 24 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: of stuff going on, speeking on the past, speaking on 25 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: the future, but none of that matters that you guys 26 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: gotta be where your feet are and that's that's pretty 27 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: much the message. That's pretty much my message at all 28 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: times is you gotta just focus on the main thing. Juana. 29 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 3: Why it was that message particularly appropriate today for this. 30 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: Team, uh one because we s really start tomorrow. So 31 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: it's it's important for us to not necessarily hold on 32 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: to what's being done in the past and uh not 33 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: look too far in the future, like we shouldn't be 34 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: really thinking about the preseason game at this moment. We 35 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: just gotta make sure we ready for that first train 36 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: to camp practice. So that's the main thing for us. 37 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: So just constantly being with you where you supposed to be, 38 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: just kind of having a morale of the team correct 39 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: and make sure we just kind of seeing everything through 40 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: the same lens and putting everything perspective. 41 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: Pretty cultures at today that you've ticking off other part 42 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 3: at all that to print costs and you pitt with 43 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: definitely not. 44 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: M know how comfortable have you grown to roll. 45 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: In the GeV What if you wanted to do when 46 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: that en knows do that aspect. 47 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: Uh for first and foremost shots of the van. Uh. 48 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: Obviously a pillar here Uh during his time, I mean 49 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: for the most part. Mean me and Dev kind of 50 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: worked hand in hand anyway when it comes to talking 51 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: about plays and differ different things like that. Uh. But 52 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: also having guys like him around, having that kind of assistance, 53 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: whether it be him in high tower in the past. Uh, 54 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: it's always it's always uh a big deal. Uh as 55 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: far as like cause you the main communicator on the field. 56 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: You're You're the reason everybody kind of has the plays 57 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: and make sure everybody on the same page. So obviously 58 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't take that lightly and it's a huge task. 59 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: But nothing, I'm not ready for it. Nothing. We had 60 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: multiple guys as able to do that too, so we 61 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: we we we good on that area. Uh. 62 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: It'll also say you your third down, the role has 63 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: a role. 64 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: Uh what we watch few years, But what are the 65 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: key factors of that? 66 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: How much pride you? 67 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: Well, I need some 'em on the field. It's opportunity 68 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: to make a play. So that's the That's the main thing. 69 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: I think if you aks any ball player that that 70 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: part be, they answer, well, hopefully that's the answer. Uh. 71 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: So as far as being on the field, Uh, obviously 72 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: your roles, your roles change for you year. So any 73 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: opportunity that I have, I'm always excited about it, eager 74 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: about it, anything, anything the team needs. We always provide 75 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: ourselves in versatility. So being able to do all those 76 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: things is is definitely good. 77 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: When yousef with this style take on uh a bigger 78 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: communicational on defense just h how how different is that? 79 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: Well? 80 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: What does that necessarily mean for you to take on 81 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: a bigger COMMI change? Like, what are the steps I 82 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: guess that you have to take to take on a bigger, 83 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: bigger communicational. 84 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I I wouldn't blow it, blow it 85 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: out of comp uh proportion too much. I've I've been 86 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: communicating along a lot, especially with the front seven and 87 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: things like that. But as far as like just having 88 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: the mic, I've want a mic every now and then 89 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: in the uh past few years too. So it's not 90 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: foreign territory, so I don't wanna necessarily make it a 91 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: a a thing that is not. But obviously, uh, being 92 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: a like I said, being a main communicator, you the 93 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: reason that everybody kind of has the plays. But at 94 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: the same time, this defense been together for a little bit, 95 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: so we kind of already know what we're thinking and 96 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: what the coaches are thinking and stuff like that. So 97 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of easy when you have great players around you. 98 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: What could the good don't all would see the challenges 99 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: of the quarterbacks who are going to stahu or is 100 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: probably particulous questions that you're. 101 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: Talking about the I bot I second, you know you 102 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: already know my answer to that quight. 103 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: Okay, you wanna play a one. Sure, there's a lot 104 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: of good quarterbacks coming at you, guys, m and last 105 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: year there were some good quarterbacks who you dealt with, 106 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: who had real good deeds against you. Do you look 107 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: at this as, hey, we can't have that same kind 108 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 2: of thing that you who played a good one who 109 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: gonna be in a shut out situation? 110 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: Oh? Say? That's a beautiful part about playing in the 111 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: NFL is that each year there's a lot of moving pieces, 112 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: whether it be different players moving to different teams. But 113 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, every NFL team's good. 114 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes records kind of don't show that, but sometimes the 115 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: teams with the worst records be the most the most 116 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: explosive teams or have the most explosive quarterback, so each 117 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: game matters. Well, it don't matter who's behind center. Obviously 118 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: he's behind center for a reason. So as far as 119 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: like you already know my answer to the whole looking 120 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: down the line kind of thing, I'm folk thing. Whoever's 121 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: the the next on the schedule. As far as looking 122 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: down the line looking at the long list of quarterbacks, 123 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: you can't do all that. You gotta focus on what's 124 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: in front of you or what the main thing is. 125 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: But obviously it's a lot of talented quarterbacks and just 126 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: players around the league in general. So us just being 127 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: ready and prepared and us being on the same page. 128 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: The focus is usually on us and not necessarily the 129 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: other team. That comes kind of naturally, But as far 130 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: as us, it's being focused on the main thing. That's 131 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: always what our motto is, why. 132 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: Predraw Over the years, it feels like the last couple 133 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: of years I in particular, guys who play your position 134 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: have gotten a little smaller. 135 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: Uh. 136 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: The teams are focused on making sure those guys can 137 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: can cover a lot of space just based on what 138 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: offenses and have done. How is it different here in 139 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: New England? Because y between you and I'm thinking you 140 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: know Jilani and you know, going back a few years 141 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: hin town or obviously you bigger guys, wh what's the 142 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 3: uh or how would you describe the most important characteristic 143 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 3: of playing your position here? 144 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: Doing them doing everything as far as us, like I mean, 145 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: if you like talking side and stuff like that backwards 146 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: across the league brings something different to the table. But 147 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: as far as if we just speaking about us in 148 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: this building, we prode ourselves and being once one versatile, 149 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: being able to play a whole bunch of different positions 150 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: and doing it well where it's covering running backs out 151 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: the back field, covering tight end, it's blitzing all those 152 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: kind of things. Everything's important, especially here because we're aks 153 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: to do all of those things and we do it 154 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: at a high level. We pride ourselves on doing that. Obviously, 155 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: you will want things to be perfect, and it kind 156 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: of if i'm if i'm you guys, I'm kind of 157 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: watching everything with a fine tooth comb and stuff like that. 158 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: But as far as us, we I we pride ourselves 159 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: on doing everything well. So that's I would say that's 160 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: a big thing for us, and that's something we look 161 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: forward to doing and continue to do as the season approaches, 162 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: and be excited about it. I appreciate you
