I have a lot of chatter on 74 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: their side just kind of expect you guys to want 75 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: to run the football. Do you feel like you know 76 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: they're they're kind of starting the key in a little 77 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: bit on the run game and you feel like you 78 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: can just run it. Anyways, I think our coaches have 79 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: a great game plan and you know, whatever is called, 80 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to execute. It's gonna come down to execution, 81 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: um and the details. Obviously, this is gonna be good 82 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: on good and for you know, with a lot of 83 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: implications moving forward. So whatever we need to do to win. 84 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna you know, whatever the place called them and 85 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: do my best to execute my job. Their defensive line, 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: as you un I think who's comes from the lot 87 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: of Marinelli brought Marinelli influence. They're always strong up front 88 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: of the defensive line. How would you describe you know, 89 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: the cults as you unit. They're big and physical inside 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: with you know, good speed on the edge. Um, obviously 91 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: they have a good scheme with you know, a lot 92 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: of movement mixed in there, and um, you know, as always, 93 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have to be detail focused and 94 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: oriented and ready to go from the opening opening kickoff 95 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: so that we can have success up front to the 96 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: you know, the final four games of the season after 97 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: you having to buy and you guys did what you 98 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: need to do to get into this position. I'm until 99 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: the good forward to the stretch round. I think that's 100 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: what you know, that's why we're here and why we play. 101 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: You know, this is games that matter. Um, obviously it's 102 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: a you know, the parody in the league this year 103 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: is you know, probably the best I've seen in my career, 104 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: and all these games, you know, really means something that's 105 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: a lot of fun and you know, obviously, you know 106 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: a lot of stakes are on the line, so um, 107 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: you know, everyone's working their hardest and to get it done. 108 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: Coming down the stretch here you're looking at that that 109 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: scheme defensively on the final line that what do you 110 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: feel like that does the hide of the strength of 111 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: a young guy like you know, I think again it's 112 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: just another great, you know, piece of their personnel quity 113 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: is and uh, you know, you know they played really 114 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: hard and you know they seem to be very uh 115 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: detail oriented as well. They're very assigned in sound gap sound, 116 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: and you know it's gonna be it's gonna be a 117 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: big time challenge for us in a battle and uh, 118 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, really looking forward to it. Go back to 119 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: the rivalry first second, just because again you knew it 120 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: growing up and around the area, but because the change 121 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: is constant in the league. Did you guys even haven't 122 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: even played since twenty eighteen, does it still feel like 123 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: Pats Colts as you do it, they'll be feeling through 124 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: lines from the series you knew to the game. You know, 125 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: I think there's always an element to history in the NFL, 126 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: especially with teams and more so with fan bases. I 127 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: would say, but you know, for me, I grew up 128 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: a Bears fan, so I wasn't really too much involved 129 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: in that, but it was with pleasure to watch those 130 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: growing up and um, but I think that's more of 131 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: a fan base side of the rivalry. But obviously, you know, 132 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the rivalry this week is that we have two good 133 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: teams and we're both buying for you know, big time stakes. 134 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to everyone's gonna bring their best 135 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: and see what happens. You started played the last two 136 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: seasons at center. What's about like this year? You know, 137 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: nine games straight? Now, how's that? Well, it's been a 138 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: lot of fun. I think that you know it came 139 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: into the league as a guard, learned centeraile is here 140 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: and you know, just taking advantage of any opportunity I 141 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: can get, and you know, to be on the field 142 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: for this team is you know, the opportunity of a lifetime. 143 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: So trying to make the most of it and do 144 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: whatever I can to help the team win. Just got 145 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: these cards regarding your charitable involvement, and you've talked about 146 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: the village we see in the past as an Indianapolis 147 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: based organization, I guess expound on that.

First of all, 171 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: as the father became developmental disabilities, thank you. Second of all, 172 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: what made this? How did you get? One of my 173 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: best friends mothers founded it, UM, and it's through it's 174 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: a Catholic indie organization. You know grew up you know, 175 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: obviou seen the Saint Matthew Parish and that that's what 176 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of through. And you know, they've secured a 177 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: lot of grants and it's been just an extremely successful 178 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: program that a lot of different people around the country 179 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: are trying to emulate now. And you know it's just 180 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: for the families too. It provides a level of relief 181 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: and independence as people. You know, you have a public 182 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: school up till eighteen and then UM, this provides an 183 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to have an independent, normal lifestyle. And June, I'm 184 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: supposed to talk to us a little bit later, and 185 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: last time, for maybe a couple of weeks ago, you 186 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: mentioned just how freaking physical you are. UM, what's been 187 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: fun about being teammates with that so far, well, I 188 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: mean he's certainly been exceptional this year and helped us 189 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: win a lot of games. Um. He's definitely kind of 190 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: a emotional and spiritual leader of our locker room. He's 191 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: brings a lot of energy and it's fun to be around, 192 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: and he's been a great teammate and you know, I'm 193 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: just really glad he's on my team. Has that been 194 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: different just because you obviously you know, grew up in 195 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: the locker room when it came back, and you know 196 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: it probably as well as anyone. The dynamic he's brought 197 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: is someone who grew up outside in New England. As 198 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: far as analges, has that been unique? It has? I 199 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: think this year has been unique in a lot of 200 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: facets with that, with a lot of people coming back 201 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of you know, new faces, um, and 202 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: it's just been a great pleasure. Everyone's really bought in 203 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: and and you know, working their hardest and the the 204 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: locker room has been a lot of fun and obviously, 205 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: um it was translating to some success in the field, 206 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: so we have to continue that. And you watched a 207 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback come into the league last year and develop 208 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: and take over the roles and start up for the Dolphins. 209 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: And now you've seen Matt coming and right away and 210 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: you can start with this too. What's impressed you about development? 211 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: You know, I think he's a great leader of men 212 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: um obviously works as hardest he's He's always in here working, 213 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, has really relationships with all of us, 214 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: and you know it's earned and built a lot of 215 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: trust with his teammates and you know, we've hopefully earned 216 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: trust with him. And uh, you know, as we continue 217 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: going here, you know we counted him. He's you know, 218 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback and doing a great job. Yeah, it 219 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: was great.
