1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Jason mccordie is volunteered to join us for today's call.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Jason. UM thirty five participants on

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: the video confer they'll accue me to ask a question.

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: I'll call on them and we'll go in the order

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: of which they've raised their hands to ask the question.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I think we'll get started here with Seagull, followed by

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Ben vol Jason, are you doing these days? I'm doing well.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: I can't complain a lot of hanging out at the house.

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: There you go, hey, Jason, sort be question to start things. Obviously,

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: you guys are competitive, there's no doubt about that. But

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: you've got changes with the team offensively and defensively. You've

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: got the changes that the with OTAs with video thing

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: with virtual with virtual things being at home a lot.

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: So if with all the challenges, more challenges than normal,

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: your competitive uses are flowing even more than they would

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: be to meet all these extra challenges. I guess so,

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: But I look at it. It's the NFL. I mean, obviously,

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: what's going on without an offseason as a challenge, and

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: something that's going on globally, that's something that everybody is

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: being forced to deal with. So that same question as

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: posed to you guys, and that's going along with it.

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: And as far as the things that are to the

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: team as far as offensive changes, defensive changes, to me,

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: that just part of the NFL. There's not one year

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: to the next that you don't go through a number

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: of changes. Whether it's personnel, whether it's coaching, whether it's scheme.

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: There's always going to be something from one season to

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the next that's gonna be a challenge, that's gonna that's

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna have change, that's gonna force people to step up

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: for different roles on people. And I think that's a

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: unique thing about our league is each year as a

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: new opportunity for anybody to step up and make something

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: to themselves. Great. Thanks Jason, glad to see you have

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: an audience, by the way, NonStop. Next question been rolling,

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: followed by Chelsea mcgonn. Hey, Jason, thanks for doing this today.

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: I hope you're staying sane through all this. Have a

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: quick question one about you and then one about one

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: of your teammates for you, just um, can you detail

39
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: how you're staying in shape and how you're able to

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: stay in football shaping get ready for a season during

41
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: these crazy times, I'm doing the same as I kind

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: of normally would throughout the off season. I'm one of

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: the few guys that had off season injury that allows

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: me to be in the building, so I've been able

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: to still go about all my rehab and my things

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: that I typically would do in the off season. Obviously,

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: it's different because it's not the same not having everybody there.

48
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Obviously we're not doing so we're not practicing, but staying

49
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: in shape for me has been relatively normal this off season.

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: How many people have been in a similar situation rehabbing

51
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: it around the stadium? Oh, there's a few of us

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: in there. Is it weird being the only guys in

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: the stadium at this point? No, I guess what constitutes

54
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: is weird has ramatically changed throughout the last months. We've

55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: been in it so long that this has become rather

56
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: normal to us at this point. And then I wanted

57
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: to ask you about your teammate Patrick chum He last

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: week got a restructured deal where he's basically is guaranteed

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: to come back for another season in a couple of years,

60
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: two plus years here now in New England. What have

61
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: you learn about how important he is to the defense.

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: Oh he's I mean, you talk about a guy that's

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: been in the league for so long and also has

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: been in the same defense for so long, as a

65
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: guy that plays so many roles throughout our defense that

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: you can ask him a question almost about any position

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: from D line stuff to linebackers to satties and he'll

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: pretty much know the answer. So I think when you

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: have a guy that's that smart and then you make

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: that obviously with his ability, you have to be pretty athletic,

71
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: and obviously he's a bigger, stronger guy that can play

72
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: those roles, he's been huge. So I know for me

73
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: getting there over these last few years, Chunk came in

74
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: the league the same year as I did, has been

75
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: finally be able to be in the same meeting wrong

76
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: talk Football one him and get to know awesome. Thanks

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: a lot, Jason, Yeah, next question, Dan Roach. Jason, thanks

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: for doing this. Sounds like you're doing well and as

79
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: well as you can be with the little those kids

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: in the background, which is always nice. Just two questions.

81
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: One kind of a follow up to what Ben was

82
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: saying from a guy who's in the facility in a

83
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: rehab perspective going forward, and it sounds like the NFL

84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: is trying to go forward. We've all been wondering whether

85
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: there be any safety concerns. You know, what are your

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: concerns and maybe you can allay those fears as you

87
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: kind of have been to the facility. And what's that

88
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: been like right now? It's been normal as normal in

89
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: a sense that the numbers are so few that it's

90
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: not anything that is different than anything that's going on

91
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: throughout our country right now. You go to a grocery store,

92
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: everybody has on a mask as on gloves. You can't

93
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: go to a gas station without someone doing the same.

94
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: So I think in that regard that's been normal to

95
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the practices that's gone on throughout every community. And I

96
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: think moving forward, I think we all have fears. I

97
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: think for me, fear of going back to work is

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: no different than the fear of walking in a restaurant

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: and sitting down to have dinner. So I think this

100
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: is something that we're all going to have to deal with.

101
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: At some point. We're gonna start back up Massachusetts and

102
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: every other state around the country, as some in the

103
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: South of already begin to open up. So I think

104
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: as players, we're going to go through the same fears

105
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: that a lot of other people in our country are

106
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: going to go through, and you try to. You gotta

107
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: have to figure it out the best way, and when

108
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: they tell us to come back to work, we have

109
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: to as individuals make sure, hey, to my standard, I

110
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: feel like, hey, this is safe enough, I'm ready to

111
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: commit to it and I'm ready to do it. And

112
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: if not, you got to go about whatever you feel

113
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: is best on your family. And my second question is

114
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: just a thought on you would devil being nominated for

115
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Awarding very humbling.

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: I think when you can be mentioned in the same

117
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: sentence well, Muhammad Ali and obviously his impact on the

118
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: world with how talented he was and his given sport,

119
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: but what he was able to do off the field

120
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: and the impact that he was able to make is huge.

121
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: So just to be mentioned in the same sentence is

122
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: a very humbling experience for me and Devin. I think

123
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: the stuff we do off the field, you don't really

124
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: do it for recognition or anything in that nature. But

125
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: when you can do those things and be recognizing, it

126
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: can bring more attention and more aware and it's possibly

127
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: more funds to the causes that you're fighting for. It

128
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: makes a huge difference. Thank you. Like we might have

129
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: lost the video a portion of this, but we'll keep going.

130
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: I have a Lazzari's Next fall by No Prince. Hey, Jason,

131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you quickly, just how are

132
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: you feeling physically and you feel like you'll be a

133
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: full go if and when training camp does start. I'm

134
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: feeling good, just taking a step by step. Obviously, what

135
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: everything going on has been a process where there's nothing

136
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: to rush back to because you can't see anything in

137
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: a very near future. There's no practice to look forward

138
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: to it, there's no mini camp to look forward to.

139
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling pretty good and just working every day

140
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: to get better. My actual question was just about how

141
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: we hear a lot about how you guys train at

142
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: both corner safety, you know, some guys playing multiple positions.

143
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: Just what has that experience been like for you in

144
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense, maybe learning a little bit of safety

145
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: and corner and I know your brother you know, did

146
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: the kind of the same thing as well. For me,

147
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: it's been fun. I think the mental aspect of it,

148
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: that challenge as an older guy has been really fun

149
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: to put that on myself to see when we're now

150
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: at this point, being in my third season, we're going

151
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: over installs or doing things, I try to challenge myself

152
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: and all right, can I learn the entire defense? Can

153
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: I understand what the nose technique or the defensive tackle

154
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: is doing in this blitz and why he's doing it,

155
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: and understand the call that high tower may make when

156
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: he sees this or that. I think when you're able

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: to do that, it makes whether you're playing corner, safety, nickel,

158
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: all of those positions, it makes it relatively easy because

159
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: you understand which and what ways the offense is trying

160
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: to attack you, and you understand from a defensive perspective,

161
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: what are you giving up and the things that you

162
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: have to defend against. For me, it's been it's been

163
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: a blast getting here, being able to play inside, be

164
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: able to play outside and challenge myself and also challenge

165
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: the guys around me. You know, I feel like as

166
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: an older guy, um if dev myself, Chung of all

167
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: of us are able to learn multiple roles and do things.

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: A kind of sets a standard in a room where

169
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: we'll all trying to be as versatile as possible. Thanks

170
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: very sing yeah, next question or princioty, followed by my

171
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: preas Hey Jason, Hey doing doing well? How are you good?

172
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: So obviously we do not have a lot of sports

173
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: right now, but just a couple of things that you know,

174
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: your old teammate Tom Brady pits in golf for charity.

175
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, there's been a little bit of soccer.

176
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if you've been watching any of the

177
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: things that have been starting up or still going on,

178
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: and if anything has struck you about you know, the

179
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: creative ways that different leagues have tried to do a

180
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: little bit or you know, some of it out of

181
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: the box stuff like the match and everything, and just

182
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: if anything had struck you and if you've been seeing

183
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: any of that. The most sports I've watched during this

184
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: thing is I'll go on NBA TV and sometimes they're

185
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: playing old NBA games. I'll watch Alan Arverson playoff game

186
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: way back when versus Toronto Vince Carterner and then so

187
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: that was fine. Honestly, I'm not a I'm not a

188
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: soccer fan. I'm not a golf fan. The only thing

189
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: I saw from the TV twelve when then was he

190
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: split his pants at one point in the suncle holding

191
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: in one, so I was happy to see split his pants.

192
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: The next time I say him, I gotta give him

193
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: a hard time, But now I haven't. I saw the

194
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: NBA two K tournaments, mad and tournaments and all of

195
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: that other stuff, but too many kids would really sit

196
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: down and watch non live type of sports that I'm

197
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: really into. Thank you, Mike, please, followed by Mike Petrevia. Awesome, Jason,

198
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm doing all some Mike, all right,

199
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: everything's going well. I was thinking about what to ask

200
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: you and two thousand and nine to two twenty in

201
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: a way you're blinking. It's a decade long career right

202
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I was curious. I don't know,

203
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: if you've talked about it, how much longer you sort

204
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: of envisioned yourself continuing to do this. I don't know. UM,

205
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: as long as it's fun and physically and mentally I'm

206
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: willing and able to do it, I think that's the

207
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: big thing. Obviously. Now, like you said, um, this is

208
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: going into year twelve, married, three kids. There's a lot

209
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: of things that ran, but I'm just trying to stay Now.

210
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm staying for me right now, I very much. I

211
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the twenty twenty season

212
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: and training my butt off to help this team in

213
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: any way basketball in this upcoming season. That's my only focus. Man. Uh,

214
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: then you started U what goes on after that? But

215
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: it's such a for to be able to play in

216
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: this league that I'm just trying to take it the

217
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: teaching area. I have the opportunity to go out that Hurley.

218
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Stacy, thanks for doing this. Jason, goodness

219
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: to you. Good to see you staying healthy. I wanted

220
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: to ask you about You mentioned your age to Mike

221
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: and uh, the years of experience in the NFL, but

222
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: how much are you looking forward to working with some

223
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: of the mower faces or even the younger faces that

224
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: have been around a while in the secondary guys like um,

225
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: obviously Jonathan Jones or um, you know, some of the

226
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: other guys in that secondary had really come along. Jac

227
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: Jackson was the other guy obviously. I wanted to mention.

228
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I love that I'm always I'm always talking to Uh,

229
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: I call him in general, but Jac, I'm always giving

230
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: him a hard time. I'm always on them. I feel

231
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: like that's just a part of the game. When I

232
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: first came into the league, I was in Tennessee, guys

233
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: like Courtland Finning and Michael Griffin, a ton of guys

234
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: that were willing to pour into me and help me

235
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: saping to figure out how to be a pro and

236
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: whether it was the defense, whether it was life off.

237
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: So for many to be around ja c Jay Jones

238
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: as a young vet in himself, but Jawan all of

239
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: those guys being able to help them, whether it's questions

240
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: about finance, questions about agents, or any of those different things,

241
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: to be just a sounding board. And then when we're

242
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: out there competing, there's little things that experience teaches you.

243
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: And for me being able to play for multiple organizations coaches,

244
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: there's tidbits that you can kind of take from everywhere.

245
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: And those guys know that's one thing with me, whatever

246
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: the question or anything that I have to share, I'm

247
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna do so. So I love that that fact, and

248
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the part that sucks right now as

249
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: we don't get a chance Obviously we have our virtual meetings,

250
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: but you don't get a chance to be in the

251
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: building and really get to know the new guys and

252
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: catch up on what's going on in the off season

253
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: and really kind of build that chemistry right now. Thanks Jason,

254
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Thank you. We'll go Michael, Hurley, Fort and

255
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: Steele recent I'll join the chorus of thanking you for

256
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: taking time with us today. I just want to ask you.

257
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: There's a rule change being voted on this week for

258
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: offenses to get a chance to go with a fourth

259
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: and fifteen playoff for scoring instead of an onside. It's

260
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: generally been looked at from the offensive side, but I

261
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: want to get the defensive player's opinion on that. The

262
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: chance to really make a play. I'm sure you've spent

263
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: time on a hands team before, but your chance to

264
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, play your position in a game changing situation

265
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: like that, I don't know. I mean, I think from

266
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: the competitive side, as especially a defensive bet, you don't

267
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: mind that pressure going out there fourth and fifteen or

268
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: whatever to down a distance is all right. We got

269
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: to show up to win the game. But it's just

270
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: like converse. If I'm a team and I've earned the

271
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: right to be up, We've made the plays necessary to

272
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: be winning in the fourth quarter or whatever it might be,

273
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: I have a chance to go seal the game by

274
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: just catching an onside kit versus being out there for

275
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: a fourth and fifteen. That standpoint as I don't really

276
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: understand it. You know, we are now basically rewarding you

277
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: for being behind, and that's the only thing for me

278
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: is a negative of it. But at the same time,

279
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: we're an entertainment business and on sidekick versus a fourth

280
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: and fifteen as a lot more intriguing, So we have

281
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: no control over it. They vote yes and we'll be

282
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: all there preparing situationally how to stop fourth and fifteens

283
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: with the game on the line? Thanks go two final

284
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: questions Ian Steel called by Michael Bryan. Jason thinks again

285
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: for taking the time, appreciate it, no problem. You mentioned

286
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: you've been going into the facility. Have other players been

287
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: there at the same time as you? How is that working?

288
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: We're phowing all the guidelines and we're all figuring out

289
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: and making it making it work. When you go into

290
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: the facility, does it help give you a little bit

291
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: of a break from quarantine life. The camaraderie with either

292
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: the guys that are there or you know, the staff

293
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: that's helping you rehab. Does that give you a little

294
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: bit of a break from quarantine life there and what's

295
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: that like for you? Not really, because when we're there,

296
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: just nothing to talk about other than quarantine life. So

297
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there really is a break to take

298
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: from it, you know. I think obviously the state of

299
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Massachusetts for the most part phase one that is starting

300
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: back up, but everything is still mostly shut down, so

301
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: we're all still doing the same thing, and it's kind

302
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: of throughout the country, like as we get on our

303
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: virtual meetings, guys are all kind of doing the same thing.

304
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: You're finding your window or your time where you go

305
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: work out, whether that's at a field, whether you know

306
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: someone that owns a gym and it's just maybe you

307
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: and that person. We're all kind of doing the same

308
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: thing right now, you know, because you can't be out

309
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: and about, so you go, you get your work out in,

310
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: you come home and there all day until you go

311
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: and do the same thing the next day. Gotcha. Thank you, Jason,

312
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: yea question, Jason, thanks so much for taking the time today.

313
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: In your answer to Mike Petragli, you were talking about

314
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: your role as a leader, especially in the secondary with

315
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: those younger players. One of those Joan Williams, we didn't

316
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: see a ton of him last year, but obviously you

317
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: worked with him a lot every day at practice. What

318
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: stood out about Joan in his rookie campaign and just

319
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: how he adjusted to life in the NFL. Oh he

320
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: loves to compete, and I think that's something that you need.

321
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: And obviously, at our position, when you're in the back end,

322
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: any mistake can be a seventy yard touchdown or a

323
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: game change in place. So I think you gotta have

324
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: guys I got a willing to go out there every

325
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: single day and compete to butts all and get better.

326
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: And that's what he did last year as a rookie.

327
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: He came in, he was willing to learn, he was

328
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: willing to listen, and I felt like every day when

329
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: we went out there on a practice field, he got better.

330
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: And I think not only for him being a rookie,

331
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: ball for all of us as a team. That's what

332
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: the process is about. Whether you're in year one or

333
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: year in year twelve, every day you got to show

334
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: up with a willingness to compete, to prove that you

335
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: belong there, and a willingness to get better and listen

336
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: to coaching. I think whether it's Jawan, whether it was

337
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: DiAngelo before he got hurt. Malik. All of the guys,

338
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: young guys came in and they were willing to listen

339
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: to the older guys, listen to the coaches, and really

340
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: do everything that was asked to them on a daily

341
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: basis to make sure they were making the necessary movements

342
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: forward to get better as a football player. Did Joan

343
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: prove to you that he belongs? I mean he went

344
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: to Vanderbilt, so that's a little bit of a knock

345
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: on him and the SEC there wanted a weaker schools.

346
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: But other than that, yeah, he definitely definitely did. Thank you,

347
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: no problem, Jason, Thank you very much for taking the time.

348
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. Thanks Jason, No problems. See
