1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: First up its Mark Daniels, thanks to see Hey Brian.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: How are you Hey, Mark? How are you doing well? Thanks? Um.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: I think the first thing I want to ask you

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: is how do you view the current quarterback room and

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: this current quarterback competition. Obviously it's a different year. You

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: guys haven't practiced, but what sort of your mindset going

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: into it? Yeah, it's exciting I think, I mean for

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: all of us just to get back to, you know,

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: being in the building and being with new guys, obviously

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Cam joining the room and me coming back after being

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, gone for about five months. So it's been fun.

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: It's exciting, um, you know, and with you know this

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: offseason that we had kind of just starting from scratch

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: like this late and in the season. Um, it's it's

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: just a different um, timetable, a different scenario and you

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: know we're just trying to adapt and get used to

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: in one follow up was it was an easy decision

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: for you to return and were you surprised when the

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Patriots Um, you know hard to recycling. Oh no, it

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: was easy decision for me. So for me actually, my

21
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: my wife and my family and we actually decided to

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: kind of make New England home. Um, last last fall,

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: so we bought a house here. It was like last November,

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: so we were we were moving back here. I mean

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: I just planned on kind of commuting if I was

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: still with Indianapolis. So when this opportunity came, you know,

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: I was obviously eager to jump at it. Thank you.

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: Next question is Bob Socy, followed by Phil Perry. Thanks Stacy. Hi, Brian,

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: good to see again. I'm good to see it too.

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: Out regarding that decision, why make New England your home

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: given where you grew up. Yeah, I think we just

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: felt like, um, you know, throughout my career, even though

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of been all over the place, this has

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: always felt I guess the most you know, home, and

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, after the last you know, coming back in

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen nineteen, Um, you know my friends, my kids

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: had their friends, my wife had her friends. Um, you know,

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: we all love living here. And it was just a

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: decision where, you know, as my career gets closer to

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: the end, the last thing I want to do is

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: have my career end and then have to make a

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: decision one more time on where to move. So we

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: wanted to put some roots down and you know, we're

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: hopping about that, and then when I had the opportunity

45
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: to come back to the Patriots, it just, you know,

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: things just kind of fell in place and quick follow

47
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: up rather than ask you about what like and no

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: longer playing alongside a wolverine. What's it like to have

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: another spartan quarterback to room? But we had to even

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: it out, We had to all those guys, so we

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: had to have one more spartan to even the room out.

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: So it's been great. Um, you know, the further you

53
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: get away from college playing in college, I think the

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: only games you actually end up watching are your your

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: alma mater and then you know, the bowl game. So

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I got to see Brian play a lot over the

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: past few years and always was rooting for him, so

58
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: it's been great to have him in the room. Thanks Brian. Yeah,

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: next question Phil Perry, followed by Megan O'Brian. Hey, Brian,

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: going to see you again many Phil. I'm curious just

61
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: because you've obviously been in the quarterback room here in

62
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: New England where Tom was, you know, the focus of everything,

63
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: not just the quarterback room but the offense itself, and

64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how that dynamic changes knowing that you guys

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: haven't been able to meet a ton yet this year

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: given the circumstances. But how does how do those meetings

67
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: change not having Tom there? Well, I think we just

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: it all goes back to learning the basics, learning the

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: fundamentals for all of us really, whether it's me, you know,

70
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: my twelfth year and really you know, ninth year in

71
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: this offense chair it's the second year. Cam obviously just

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: got here, Brian just got here, but not only us,

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: but like you said, for the entire offense, it's almost

74
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: like with the way this offseason has gone. You know,

75
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: we had our virtual meetings, we had all those, but

76
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, to finally now get back in person where

77
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: you can be in a room with someone and say, okay,

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: this is what we're doing on this play, and then

79
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: actually have a conversation, you know, like we're doing this

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: this interview. Like it's hard for more than one person

81
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: to speak at a time, so, you know, in an

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: offensive meeting room, even though Josh might be saying something,

83
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I might be leaning over and having a conversation with

84
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: James White and how he's going to run a route

85
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: or an adjustment that he's going to make and that

86
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: was just virtually impossible during this offseason. So I think

87
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: we're all just coming back in excited to be in

88
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: the building and be able to have those socially distanced

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: relationships right now and just try to work around that

90
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Brian just had a sort of a

91
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: quick follow. Because of your experience and being in a

92
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: bunch of different offenses over the years, I'm curious how

93
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: you might envision this offense changes again with one guy

94
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: at the folk for so long and trying to accentuate

95
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: tom skills. You guys have different skill sets in that quarterback. Now,

96
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: how do you see things changing on the field for

97
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: you guys? Yeah, I don't. I mean at this point,

98
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I said for us, we're

99
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: just getting the core fundamentals that the techniques, all those things.

100
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, Josh has twenty years of experience

101
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: in this offensive system and it's worked pretty well. So

102
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we're all just trying to learn

103
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: from him, you know, kind of refocus on, you know,

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: what he's trying to coach us, and then go from there.

105
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: And like I said, because of you know, the circumstances

106
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: we're in we're all just trying to adapt to that,

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: whether it was online virtual meetings and then going able

108
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: to you know, get a group of guys together in

109
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: the offseason and try to implement that and then now

110
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: take it where we're back in the building and you know,

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: basically with what we're allowed to do, work within the

112
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: constraints of that, and just trying to make it the

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: best weekend. Thanks Bryan. Next question Megan O'Brien, followed by

114
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: Mike Rease. Brian, it's good to see you. I'n good

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: to see you now. When you signed back with the

116
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Patriots in March, I believe your agent came out and

117
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: said that this was going to give you an opportunity

118
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: to compete for the starting role on this team. Now

119
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: things have changed and Cam Newton joins the group. Do

120
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: you still feel like you're competing for a starting spot?

121
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I think for me, you're competing every day you go out.

122
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean, regardless of what the spot is, it's always

123
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: a competition. And Bill said that you know numerous times

124
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: you're going to earn what you get. So for me,

125
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if there's fifteen guys in the room,

126
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm always competing when Thomas here, I was competing for

127
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: the starting job too. Now you know, I was probably

128
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: never going to get that, but I always competed like

129
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I was going to try to beat him out, and

130
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that I could do to make

131
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: myself better. So I think, you know, the more you

132
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: know good players you add to a room, a group, offense, defense, team,

133
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: it's always going to rise the level of everyone else up.

134
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: So it's something that I've taken a part of before

135
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: and it's something that I look forward to. Thank you.

136
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Next question Mike Reees Fell by Ian Steele. Hey, Brian,

137
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: how you doing, Andy? Like always great to see you.

138
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: The way this offseason unfolded, you and Jarrett were sort

139
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: of getting some guys together socially distanced to get some

140
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: work in and sort of the way it unfolded when

141
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: Cam entered the mix in July. How would you just

142
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: sort of describe the dynamic of how the three of

143
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: you came together the way that unfolded. Yeah, I mean,

144
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: like I mentioned to you guys, you know, I kind

145
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: of moved back here in January with the idea of

146
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: moving into a new home and then had planned on

147
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: going back to Indianapolis and then when it came that

148
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: I was able to sign back here, I was in

149
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: the area. So Jared and I kind of talked that

150
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: we were having these virtual meetings and we said, look like,

151
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: if anyone's in town, you know, normally we'd be doing

152
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: this right now, and we've got to be smart about

153
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: it and all those things. But so we kind of

154
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: put that together, and then once Cam came along, we

155
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: had one or two more sessions when people were now

156
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: coming back into town, and we did that and then

157
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: now you know, we've been back in the building. So

158
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: it's been good. It's look, this is the NFL, and

159
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: teammates changed from year to year. There's always addition, subtractions,

160
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So you know, people come in the

161
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: room and you embrace it and then you move on

162
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: and your teammates and you just you know, one day

163
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: at a time. I lost two questions, but you and

164
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: stee all followed by Jeff Howe go ahead, Ian Brian,

165
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: thanks for the time today. I really appreciate it. No problem.

166
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: Since you came in excuse me, into the league with

167
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and every time you've been back, Tom Brady

168
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: has always been here. How strange is it going into

169
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: a season knowing that Brady will not be in the

170
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: building at any point in time. Yeah, I mean that's

171
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: like I said, that's that's the that's the way the

172
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: league is. Obviously, he's been here. He was here for

173
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: twenty years, the long standing. You know, he was here

174
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: the first time I was here. There was five years

175
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: in between that came back and he was still here.

176
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: You know, it is what it is. We all have

177
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: to step up and do our jobs the best we

178
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: can to to replace him. And I don't know, I

179
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: think maybe having the scenarios that we're in right now

180
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: kind of takes a little bit off of that. You

181
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: don't notice it as much as socially distanced. There's fewer

182
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: people in the locker room. And you know, for me,

183
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: it was great just to come back and see the

184
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: guys that I didn't have a chance to say goodbye

185
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: to last year when I chose about Indianapolis. So I've

186
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: been excited about that. You know, to see David Andrews

187
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: back has been awesome. Um, you know, James White, all

188
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: those guys, the mcquarie's, it's it's been fun. I mean

189
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: I had to do it like this for a while

190
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: and then finally, you know, last week, to be able

191
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: to come back in and and see those guys, you know,

192
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: you just want to give them a big hug, but

193
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: unfortunately you know you can't do it. But um no,

194
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: it's definitely a challenge and we all have to, you know,

195
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: do our jobs the best we can to be able

196
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: to replace that. Thank you. Final question Jeff Howe, Hey Brian,

197
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: how don't Jeff? You've you mentioned your consistency always competing

198
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: for the starting job here or elsewhere, but have you

199
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: noticed maybe a different atmosphere or energy when the starting

200
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: job might be more up for grabs in a different

201
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: type of locker room. Um, I don't know. I think

202
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: I've always tried to approach it the same way. I mean,

203
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: I had to deal with this in Cleveland, I did

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: it in Houston. I've done it in in a lot of places.

205
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: And for me, I've never really changed my mentality. I think,

206
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, for me, it's to go out there and

207
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: get better every day, and if you're not doing that,

208
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: you're getting worse. I know that's a cliche to say,

209
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: but you know, whether this was my twelfth year or

210
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: fifth year, seventh year, or whatever it might be, I

211
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: think you have to go in and compete like you're

212
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: going for that job, whether you're going to get it

213
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: or not. I think that's the only way to prepare

214
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: yourself in case there comes a point where you do

215
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: have to play. And the reality of our job is

216
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: is whether you're the starting quarterback, the back of the

217
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: third you never know. I mean, things can change in

218
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: a week to week basis and you have to be

219
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: ready to go. So I mean, I'm always up for it.

220
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm always excited to go out there and play. And

221
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: for me, you know, just to go out and practice

222
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: football again. You know, it's worth it for me to

223
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: go out there and do that. Whether you know, I

224
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: don't know how it plays out, but I'm going out

225
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: there to prepare like I'm going to be playing week one.

226
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: Thanks Ye, no problem, Thank you Brian, Thanks everyone, Thanks guys,
