1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Like, I just want to get your thoughts on yesterday

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: with all the snow, and what were your thoughts on that.

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure you went through with it back at home

4
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: in Detroit and at school at Michigan, but just what

5
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: was it like in New England for the first time. Yeah, honestly,

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't that bad. I mean, it's a lot of

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: snow in Michigan too, so I mean like a lot

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: of people were amazed at this, and I was just like,

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is regular to me, so bad overall?

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: And then what has it been like practicing in the

11
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: bubble you get ready for Miami? Have the Have you

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: noticed maybe the heats met up a little bit inside? Yeah,

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: it's been cool. We've all been doing our own little

14
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: thing to just get us ready for the heat or

15
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: just the weather all the nore And I wanted to

16
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: get your thoughts. You played guard pretty much most of

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: the college. Um, I assume your entire life. What has

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: it been like to play a tackle and how how

19
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: do you how do you feel you've acclimated to playing tackle? Um,

20
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I feel like I was accumimented to tackle. Will I mean,

21
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: it's it's the same thing obviously, just a little bit

22
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: more space and a little bit uh more athletic guys

23
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: on the edge. But um, playing play entire I mean

24
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: it's not so bad, you know, it's it's the thing.

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: I like, would you ever consider going back to guardla?

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Do you consider yourself a personal linement that could play everywhere?

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Or do you want to be known as just a tackle? Yeah?

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't care. Wherever, wherever I'm needed, I'll be able

29
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: to play. Did you know coming out of college that

30
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: you could potentially play all over the line in the NFL? Uh,

31
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: not in terms of tackle wise, but other positions or

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: other side guards or center. Yes, so that What was

33
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: it like when the Patriots asked you to play tackle? Um?

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: I was? I mean I was open to the opportunity.

35
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: I didn't shy away from it or you know anything

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: like that. So, uh, it's been going well from me,

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: And I mean I'm glad I did step up to

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: the plate and step up to the challenge. Okay, we'll

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: pause for a moment and see if anybody else has

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: any questions from Mike. Please on mute yourself or raise

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,560

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: you another one. I'm like, Yeah, yeah, go ahead, right,

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: what what's your the team's mentality? I guess going into

44
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: this game in Miami, I know everybody's talking about the

45
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: playoff chances and all that, but how do you how

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: do you personally view this game and how are you

47
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: approaching it? We've just been approaching this game day by day,

48
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: trying to get better, prove our on our fundamentals, and

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: focusing on this game. Absolutely played them already, but it's

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be the same game, So I mean everyone

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: is all harping on that and just uh studying studying film.

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Real heart, do you look at the first game at

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: all or was it too far away to really have

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: much you know emphasis, I mean you look back at it,

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: but I mean, obviously this late in the season, you

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: know these guys aren't going to do the same thing

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: or play the same way. Let me say that if

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: they already you know, know what you do, know what

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: your weaknesses are too. Also, all right, are you near hurt?

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: Did you have a question from Michael Winner? Yeah? Yeah, sure,

Speaker 1: go ahead? So Hi Hi Young had from from Germany.

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,880

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: up to you guys, is up to you guys, UM

67
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: during the games and UM and the in the off time.

68
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: If I got you a question, Craig, you're asking how

69
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: is coach Belichick after games and in our free time?

70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: The question was how is he acting like due to

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: the in some parts kind of kind of rough season

72
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: for you guys as a team. Okay, okay, Um, he's

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: just been preaching that we have a good thing. We've

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: just been beating ourselves. And I mean it's true. So

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean we are, like I said, we're focusing on

76
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: fundamentals and focus, focusing on everything that we're doing wrong

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: get trying to get it right. And I think that's

78
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that he's been preaching and the team

79
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: as a whole. H Okay, thank you very much, Mike,
