1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Thanks, Stephanie. Marcus, how are you today? I'm doing good. 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,159 Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing good. Good to talk with you. So, no, 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: coming into the game, you had a couple of kickoff returns, 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: but this was your most extensive work with the kickoff 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: returns and the punt returns. How do you feel you 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: know it went for you? Oh? I felt like it 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: went good. Um, you know, definitely didn't get the result 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: that we wanted at the end, which was a win, 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: but just staying with the game plan that coach you know, 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: dials up and everything like that. But we definitely go 11 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: on basically get back to the film rom and correct 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: what we have to correct. And Marcus can I did 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: want to ask you about one decision to take me 14 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: into your mind if you wouldn't if you wouldn't mind, 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: fourth quarter you're back, I want to say, around your 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: ten yard line, eight yard line maybe, And it was 17 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 1: the one right before the two minute warning. Yeah, can 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: you take me back through that and sort of what 19 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: you were seeing on that and and just how that 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: how that decision unfolded. You know, basically it was one 21 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: of those situations to where I did what I was 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: closed to do. It was basically that so not too 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: much to it. And and now on that is that 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: is that is there a rule Marcus, like if it's 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: inside the ten, like don't feel it like because sometimes 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: I remember I thought at one point it was like, hey, 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: put your feet on the ten. Yeah, sometimes it very 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 1: so like coach would tell me and then it would 29 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: change up. But sometimes you know, it would be like that. Gotcha, Okay, 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: appreciate that, no, bro. And next question, Chris Ryan, Hey 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: are you how are you doing? Chris good Um, just 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: kind of describe your mindset going into New yesterday and 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: so trying to make the most of the opportunity. Obviously 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: you have a gift as a returner, but to do 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: it the way you did in that venue, do you 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: feel like you opened some eyes? The main thing is 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: basically doing my job, you know, and everything like that, 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: and not trying to do too much. And also, you know, 39 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: I have guys that's definitely in great teammates, So they're 40 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: the guys that definitely blocking and everything like that. Without them, 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to do nothing at all. But 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: that's the main thing, you know, trusting in my teammates 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: and them trusting in me too. How would you describe 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: your kind of the emotion the feeling of being a 45 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: punt returner where there's obviously so much going on there? 46 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: What does it? What kind of a rush is that 47 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: where you have well you guys coming at you block 48 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: in you're trying to gain yards. How would you describe 49 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: it and what do you enjoy about that kind of 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: unique position? Um, it's definitely not for everyone. It's definitely 51 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: a rush, So it's it's a rush that I like 52 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: to have though, you know, it's definitely one of those 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: situations to where a lot of things fly around and 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: everything like that. But as long as you got your 55 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: hit in the right place and just make sure you 56 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: got your technique right and watching your keys and everything, 57 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: everything should go good. And finally you're looking obviously to 58 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: break one in any of those circumstances. But to you, 59 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: what's you know, what's a good situation to come out 60 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: of it? With control of the balls that you want 61 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: to gain ten yards of What do you want after 62 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: each each time that you perform a return, Um, the 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: first an ball security, making sure that I catch the ball, 64 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: and then most of the time the next thing you 65 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: trying to at least get ten yards a first down 66 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: for the offense. Sweet, thank you, no problem, and ask 67 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: if anyone else has a question, to please raise their 68 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: hand and we'll go to my grace. Marcus had thought 69 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: I would ask a lighthearted question, and I was curious 70 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: how you keep um, how you sort through all the 71 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: Joneses on the team. Yeah, a lot of people would 72 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: hit my phone up and you know'd be like, you know, 73 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: did you make that play? Did you make that? And 74 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: everything like that. But it's definitely one of those situations 75 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: to where people see a lot of Joneses. But it's 76 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: funny to me, you know, I definitely laugh about it. 77 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: And the natural follow up is to ask about your 78 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: fellow rookie, Jack Jones and his performance yesterday as a 79 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: as a teammate and a guy who came in to 80 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: the draft with him, what did you think of Jackson? 81 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: Definitely developed over time and everything like that. Definitely, us 82 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: being rookies, we still have a lot to learn, so 83 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: that's the main thing, and just buying into the system 84 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: that we have here and just making sure that we 85 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: always progress during the timeline, you know, try to never 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: be complacent and just stack days on top of days. 87 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: Have you guys got to know each other like well, 88 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: and like, have you developed like a friendship that maybe 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: you didn't have before coming to the Patriots. Oh yeah, 90 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: I knew Jack whenever we went to the before getting 91 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: here and everything like that. So basically over time we 92 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: definitely got closer to with teammates and everything and see 93 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: each other on a daily basis. So yeah, how did 94 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: you know Marcus? Was it just from like training leading 95 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: up to the draft and stuff or did you just 96 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: basically training and everything like that. So that was the 97 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: main day. Had one other quick one. I'm sorry I didn't. 98 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: No one else has their hands raised them. One of 99 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: the things coach Belichick mentioned just talking about punt returning 100 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: was how the challenge is greater in the NFL because 101 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: of the skill of the punters and the different things 102 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: they can do punting wise. From your perspective, what tell 103 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: me about that challenge and what that's been like really 104 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: rising up to that challenge. Oh yeah, definitely, punters in 105 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the league definitely know the hang time and also putting 106 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: the ball out there. You know there's punters that's playing 107 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: the ball sixty yards with five second hang time, and 108 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: then also there's one of a kind gunners coming down 109 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: and coming down and know how to tackle and everything 110 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: like that, not coming out of control and different things 111 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: like that. So it's definitely a change, but you know, 112 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: doing it over time and everything like that and getting 113 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: more time with it can definitely help out. Appreciate the 114 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: time with that. Thank you, no problem, Thank you very much, Marcus. 115 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: We appreciate it.
