Um, Ernie's kind 44 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: of like a mysterious, like mythical creature in the building 45 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: right when you come in as like a as a rookie. Um. 46 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: My rookie year was just after they did the big 47 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: documentary UM on the twenty fourteen season, you know, and 48 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 1: like that was kind of like the first like thing 49 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: I ever remember about Ernie Adams, you know, that documentary 50 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: and him and his office talking about the the Malcolm 51 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Butler play, and you know it's just kind of like, 52 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: you know, what does this guy really do? Like uh, 53 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, and he kind of became like an internet 54 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: sensation and the pink stripe thing or whatever. But uh, 55 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: kind of one of my first interactions. I remember, I 56 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: fumbled a snap in spring or training camp, you know, 57 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: something early and we were kind of running a guard 58 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: pool play and uh, you know, Bill obviously had you know, 59 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: didn't like that very much and I ended up running 60 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: in a lab and um, you know, but then Ernie 61 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: after practice at some point pulled me like talk to 62 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: me and was just talking about like how that's it's 63 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: one of the harder snaps because the quarterbacks pulling away 64 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: in the opposite direction for the handoff. You're going flat 65 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: down the line to try to cut somebody off in 66 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: a penetrating position. So h he just talked to me 67 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: about that, and um yeah, and ever since then I 68 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: kind of was like, wow, all right, and uh I 69 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: always made an effort to talk to Ernie when he 70 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: was in the building. U or passed him in the building. Uh, 71 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: you know about rules, whatever it may be. He's just 72 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: he's like an encyclopedia. So it's uh, yeah, Ernie will 73 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: be definitely be missed around the building, that's for sure. 74 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: Thanks Day.

With with you just your thoughts on what 110 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: you've seen from the Patriots this offseason and the amount 111 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: of talent that's been acquired and also to the draft, 112 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: some initial impressions of Mac Jones. Yeah, you know, I 113 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: think you know, I think you've got to be excited 114 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: looking at it, right you know, Uh, you know, we 115 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: can't do anything really, you know, there's a certain limitations 116 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: of what we can do practice wise and things like 117 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: that right now obviously, but you know, we're making all 118 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: trying to do everything we can to make this football 119 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: team better. And you know, now it comes down to 120 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: the stuff people don't want to talk about, is how 121 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: much work we put in over the next you know, 122 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: three to four months. We made a lot of improvement 123 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: on on paper, and uh, that's definitely a part of it. 124 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: And now we have to become a football team. We 125 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: got to work together, learn to work together because obviously 126 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of new faces and um, 127 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, just have to become a team and start 128 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: putting it all together here. And you know, I would 129 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: build through the off season and obviously into training camps. 130 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: So you're excited once we can't get the rookies into 131 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: the building, get to working with them, you know, just 132 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: excited to get the whole ball rolling here. Uh yeah, 133 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't even know when they they're allowed to come 134 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: into the building. It seems like they should be some 135 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: of the first ones coming in, but um, you know, 136 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if they can come in for another 137 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: week or so. So you have to check on the 138 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: rules on that one though. And also what role did 139 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: the acquisitions play in in your process? Because it seemed 140 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: like the team was building up, guys were coming in 141 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: and then you were kind of the final piece with 142 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: with you coming back. Did it play any role the 143 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: fact that the offense was seemingly getting better on paper 144 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: and you wanted to be a part of that. Um, 145 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: I mean yes and no. I mean obviously that like 146 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: I said, I was excited to see, you know, some 147 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: of the improvements we were making and some of the 148 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: guys we were you know bringing in, Um you know, 149 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: but I think you know, there was more into it 150 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: than just um, you know, for the free agents in 151 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: my decision, So um yeah, But like I said, I'm 152 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: definitely excited for what we're doing.

And I just 184 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you, you know, before the pads go 185 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: on here, what can you guys accomplish as an offensive line, um, 186 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: without you know, contact? You know? Is it mental? Is it? 187 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: Is it physical? Things that you guys can still do 188 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: out there? And what do you hope you guys can 189 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: accomplish over the next couple of months before camp gets underway. 190 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Are you kind of talking like OTAs, like when we 191 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: put on like helmets and stuff. Yeah exactly, yeah, um, yeah, 192 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's definitely we're able to do 193 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the drill work, right you're hitting bags 194 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: and things like that, So really working focusing on technique 195 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: things like that, really just working with each other making 196 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: the calls. Uh you know, and I think you know, 197 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: every offense has right like calls for double teams and 198 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: things like that. But like sometimes you get out there 199 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: and you know, we kind of form our own system 200 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: of talking and operating, and you know, each person has 201 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: a different way of operating and learning how to do that, 202 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: learning how to communicate with each other. Um. You know, 203 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: we're obviously not going to run run plays against the 204 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: defense and things like that as much, um, just in helmets, 205 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, we can do a lot of things on bags, 206 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, start practicing football. Um. You know, there's a 207 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: lot of good things that come from OTA's Uh. Yeah, 208 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: I think about my rookie year, um and how much 209 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: it benefited me. Uh you know, even my second, third, 210 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: fourth year. You know, there's always little things you can 211 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: work on, little things you can pick up and learn. Um. 212 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: You know, so I think I think it does provide 213 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: a good benefit for us. Um. And you know, it's 214 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: it's fun to get out there in practice, and um, yeah, 215 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: you are throwing the ball a lot because you know, 216 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: we don't, like I said, we're not gonna just sit 217 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: up there and run run game. Uh you know, but 218 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: we know when that common training camp and will comes 219 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: soon enough. So uh yeah, I think there's a lot 220 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: we can work on. Um obviously have some new faces, 221 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: um you know, and uh you know, there's always new 222 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: new things we're gonna be trying to do, um, you know, 223 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: play schemes, things like that to get a head start 224 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: of it and OTAs and kind of build on it 225 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: and learn it when then when you do get into 226 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: training camp in July, it's not something that you're completely 227 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: trying to figure out. Right, You've already got a good 228 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: base and so I think that's it provides a big 229 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: benefit for that. Thanks David, congrats again. Thanks up. Next 230 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: up Bob so see, and then we'll close out with 231 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: Karen Garigian. Thanks Mike, and morning David. About David. Yesterday, 232 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: we learned that Isaiah wins fifth year option has been 233 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: picked up, and I wanted to ask you a two 234 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: part one his value to the team when he's on 235 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,359 Speaker 1: the field and that offensive line, how would you describe 236 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, the kind of player he's becoming. And number 237 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: two of the way he's battled through the various episodes 238 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: of adversity and injury thus far in his career. What 239 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: does that say about it? Yeah, you know, I think 240 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: obviously I've had a relationship with Isaiah for a long time, 241 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: playing with him in Georgia, watching him over the years 242 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: at Georgia, UM, you know, and always respected how he 243 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: went about things. UM. I think he's a tough football player, 244 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: you know. Obviously unfortunate some of the things he's had 245 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: to battle through, but that's just part of this game, um, 246 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: you know, and you can't really control control those, um 247 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, and it just it's unfortunate, but it is 248 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: what it is.
