1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Joey, you take out of this preseason finale.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: Oh you know it was long. It was long preseason,

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: but uh it was good. I mean we got to

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: see a lot of different guys, you know, flash potential,

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: and you know it's always every preseason you see what

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: rookie steps up and what newcomer steps up. So I

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: think that's always the cool thing to see. We had

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: a lot and I mean it was a fun ride.

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Like you know, you only get what it was a

10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: couple of weeks to play with all ninety guys and

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: then you know, in a couple of days it's a

12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: whole different team. So I think for me, I just

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: you know, I'm happy have ever played obviously, you know,

14
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: ending with two losses and what we wanted, but uh,

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: you know, I'm happy how guys competed and you know,

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: came to work every day.

17
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: You feel like you got better and better. You just

18
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: can't went on. How would you feel about your body

19
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: and work?

20
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: I feel good, you know what I mean. I love

21
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: it here. I think I have the best coach in

22
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: the league. You know, he did it at a high level.

23
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: He can coach it at a high level. And then

24
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: we got a bunch of guys in our room who

25
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: were hungry and who are dogs and played a lot

26
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: of football. So I really leaned on a lot of

27
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: those guys this year, between Bent and Kwan and Jelani Christian,

28
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: the list goes on.

29
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: Everybody in the room still you know what I'm saying, Tackey.

30
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: So uh, it's one of those things where you got

31
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: to bring your best every day otherwise you will be

32
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: lost very quickly. So I felt for me just you know,

33
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: keep my head down, working as far as I possibly can,

34
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: and you know, making the plays that need to be

35
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: made when they're there.

36
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: Walk us through the interception.

37
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: Oh, we got a good zone call. I was off

38
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: the quarterback's age. Christian carried the receiver you know, to

39
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: me and he threw the ball to me. So I

40
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: felt good about that.

41
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: Speak on of how things may change for you put

42
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: a season the next few days, SA the cuts coming.

43
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Is it a time of anxiety in the locker room?

44
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: What's that like?

45
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

46
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: I definitely think, you know, it's it's a tough time.

47
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: You see guys who you know, you know, bust their

48
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: buck from since the day they were drafted or signed

49
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: is undrafted or signed whenever, and you know, you you

50
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: work for a goal and that goal is not always accomplished.

51
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: I can say I've been on that side of the

52
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: you know, spectrum quite a bit in my career. I've

53
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: seen him have been able to stick, you know, between

54
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: pract squads and playing a little bit. But it's definitely

55
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: a tough time. It's never fun. But this is you know,

56
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: the best league. You know, this is what you strive

57
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: to get to. So the competition is what the competition is.

58
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: You have to bring it every day, but it is tough.

59
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: You know, there's guys you you play with and you

60
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: might never see again.

61
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

62
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: So just just you know, appreciating all the moments we

Speaker 1: Someone who's been in the lean a couple of years

68
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: of when you could talk at the.

69
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: Performance of Drake tonight and what he was able to.

70
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Do, what he was able to have. What are you

71
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: how he was able to grow involved in of course

72
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: to something.

73
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Drake's a hard worker. He's in the building early,

74
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: he's leaving the building late. Uh, he's fiery, he's not

75
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: gonna back down. And h he grew over the course

76
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: of the preseason and that's what we needed him to

77
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: do and he's gonna do it. I mean, he's got

78
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: all the intangibles. He's ready. You know, he challenges us

79
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: every day. So it's just exciting seeing you know a

80
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: U and see guy you know do that.

81
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. It's the Carolina a little bit.

82
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: You know, I can let him hear it every once

83
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: in a while.

84
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: I'm telling it in Jungles Tuesday after.

85
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: It's tough. It's tough.

86
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: You know, you don't know your reality until it happens.

87
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: So I've been a guy who's been cut early. I've

88
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: been a guy who's been cut at the eleventh hour.

89
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: So it's it's one of those days you know you

90
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: kind of want to just turn off your phone and

91
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: hope for the best. But uh, you just you just

92
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: take a breath, and you know what I'm saying. You

93
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: rely on what you did the last couple of weeks

94
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: and you hope for the best outcome there is.

95
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: But you did your hands with a lot of balls.

96
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: Now you have your reception you're you're home with the

97
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: ball a lot in corgege what what's been the key

98
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: for you defensively in this system in terms of getting table.

99
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: It's my second year and I can think, like I

100
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: said earlier, like coach hot Tower, I mean, he pushes

101
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: us every day and there's never a moment where you

102
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 2: could be like but hi, like this happened, He's gonna

103
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: show you him doing it. So when you got a

104
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: guy who's played in your defense, who's played the same

105
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: calls you've played, who's seen some of the same quarterbacks

106
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: you've seen, you know, I mean it's easy, it's easy

107
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: to learn, it's easy to whatever, and you just have

108
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: to be coachable take coaching. And uh, I felt like

109
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: I did that this year, and you know I made

110
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: the places when I got a chance to make the

111
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: plays walk absolutely, absolutely absolutely. I mean Devin mccordy is

112
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: my connection to the Patriots from the jump, from the

113
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 2: same town, with the same high school, and so I

114
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: watched him as much as anybody, and how I played

115
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: with him, so of course I was, you know, keyed

116
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: in on the backers and things like that. But again,

117
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: we have our head coach as an ex linebacker. You

118
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, who played in this system as well,

119
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: So it's it's a standard you got to keep up

120
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: and high.

121
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 3: Hig is really you know, helping us do that.

122
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: I hope do you take this defense can.

123
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: Be the best the best.

124
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: We got guys at every position who can play from

125
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: top to bottom, and it's exciting. You know, a lot

126
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: of guys didn't get to play in the preseason for

127
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: you know, good reason, but I'm excited to see them play.

128
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: I think this defense disguise the limit. You know what

129
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: I'm saying. We we got the guys, we got the coaches.

130
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: It's just going out and executing. Appreciate it.
