1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,440
Speaker 1: Hate.

2
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Jilani, thanks for taking the time today going through the meetings,

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: and I'm curious what you identified as maybe the keys to

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: cleaning up to.

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 3: Avoid some of the big plays that hit you.

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 4: Yus just sticking to what we have planned. You know,

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 4: we've got to start faster. We can't have those long drives.

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 4: We got to get off the field, and we're just

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 4: got to make sure that we do do our jobs.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: How would you describe the meat among the guys coming

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: in today.

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: We're just pissed off, you know, we're pissed off because

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 4: it's games like that were you know, And I'm just

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: talking about the defensive side because you know, we meet separately.

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 4: We're pissed off on the defensive side, and we just

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 4: got a lot of proof do our jobs. Chris Price,

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: followed by Chris Royan.

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 5: Jilanie, thank you for taking the time to do this today.

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 5: When we talked to Gerraw a little bit earlier on

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 5: those two fifty yard runs, the two things that he

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 5: brought up specifically were poor run fits and poor tackling.

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 5: I'm curious to get your take from a specific from

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 5: a player's point of view on those two fifty yarders.

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 5: What you saw in where things maybe kind of broke

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 5: down a little.

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: Bit for you, he said, he said it perfectly.

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 4: We didn't we didn't do our jobs, and you know,

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 4: when it comes down, we got to make sure we

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: you know, tackle the guy who's got the ball.

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: You know, we were just there's.

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: A sloppy on on those two plays and you know

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: we got to fix it because the teams are going

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: to try and run those against us soon.

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 6: Thank you, Chris Ryan, followed by Damn Route, Hey, thanks

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 6: for being Thanks say some time Johnny just kind of

36
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 6: off of what Chris was asking.

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 7: You know, when it comes to fundamentals, when it comes

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 7: to you know, the the tackling and the things that

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 7: are kind of the drawsms are missing from this group.

40
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 7: Is it just a matter of cleaning it up. What

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 7: do you see as being kind of the what's what's

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 7: the challenge and getting it done versus obviously just talking

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 7: about it.

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: You just said it. I mean, you just got we

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 4: just got to get it done. You know, it's a

46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: mentality that we have to have each never play. You know,

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: there's plays where when they try to run the ball,

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: we would stop in the back in the backfield. So

49
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: when we have those type of plays where we need

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: to build on those good plays, you know, when we

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: when we force them to one yard games, two yard

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: games like those are the we have to just be

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 4: consistent and and just do our jobs.

54
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 7: Also, how do you address obviously the changes in personnel

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 7: where you had a real veteran core to start this year,

56
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 7: a lot of younger players kind of being put put

57
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 7: into a situation they're trying to figure out what they're doing.

58
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 7: How do you address that as as a veteran and

59
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 7: is that also not an excuse, but you know a

60
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 7: real reason as to some of the difficulty you've had

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 7: over the last few weeks.

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: And there's no there's no excuse.

63
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: You know what what what what we're doing is on us,

64
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: and we got to we we have to take accountability

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: for what's going on. You know, we can't we can't

66
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: blame the newer guys because it's us vets that are

67
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: you know, there's who aren't consistent. You know, there's like

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: whether it's every five players we're doing well and then

69
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: one player we're not, and then we're back to being five.

70
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: You know, like that's unacceptable. So we're gonna make sure

71
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: that everybody's on the same page, and you know, we're

72
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: all we're all to blame right now, So we're gonna

73
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: we're gonna fix it and figure it out.

74
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: Figure it out.

75
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 6: Next question daan roach by Ian Steel Jelana, just to

76
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 6: kind of follow up on that.

77
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: How correctable in your mind are all these mistakes.

78
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 8: And how much is it physical versus mental mistakes when

79
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 8: you guys are doing this together as a group out there.

80
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's when you watch the film, it's it's

81
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: very simple stuff. It's it's stuff that we don't ever do.

82
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: You know, when when we practice, we know that those

83
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: are the big plays that are gonna or big runs

84
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: that they love to run. And we're reading our keys well.

85
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: So when it comes to the game, whether it's we

86
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: got to get more conditioning or or just you know,

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: meet more together, whatever it is, you know, we gotta

88
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 4: we gotta make sure everyone is doubted because when we

89
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: when when we do have everyone on the same page,

90
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 4: like I said before, you know, we're stopping them in

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 4: the backfield, We're it's a one yard game instead of

92
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: those sixty yard plus runs.

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: So we just got to be consistent. Thank you, Ian Steel, Joannie,

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for the time.

95
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 9: Talking to Gerard and some of the coaches over the

96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 9: past couple of days, it's it's rare to hear them

97
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 9: just kind of so upset with the defense. Is that

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 9: what you're hearing in the meetings, just saying you know

99
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 9: how how last game went, and and you know how

100
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 9: you guys are working to correct them.

101
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't.

102
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: We don't need to just we don't need to hear

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: the coaches talking about them being upset because we should

104
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: already be upset, you know, whether because you know, forty

105
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: one points is unacceptable, over one hundred yards rushing is

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 4: unacceptable for us that you know that those are those

107
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: are the things that we have standards on and and

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: we're not living up or we're not playing to our standards.

109
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: So you know, we should be pissed off. It shouldn't

110
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: be it shouldn't be coming from the coaches, you know.

111
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 4: So we're definitely hearing the message from them. But again,

112
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: this is a player's game, so it's on us as

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 4: players to understand that and fix the problem, and I

114
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 4: know we will.

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: And the last question Mike Jilani spinning it forward. You

116
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: guys are going to London for your next game. What

117
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: are your thoughts on that?

118
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 10: And what if you've learned about these international games to

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 10: be at your best?

120
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: You know, when the balls in the air set?

121
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: What was the first one? What was the first question?

122
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: What do you what are your what are your thoughts

123
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: on going to London playing?

124
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's another football game, you know, it doesn't

125
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: matter where we're playing. It's a it's a football game.

126
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: It's another day for us to another day and another

127
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 4: opportunity for us to you know, play to our standard.

128
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: You know, tomorrow we're gonna have to figure we're gonna

129
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: have to watch the film on Jacksonville tonight. We're gonna

130
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: have to watch the film on Jacksonville, and really you know, focus.

131
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: On what you know, what's hurt us, hurt us in the.

132
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: Past, uh, in our past games, and and make sure

133
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: that you know, when when Jacksonville tries to run those

134
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: plays or whether they want to run their top plays,

135
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: we got to make sure that we're all on the

136
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: same page on the defensive standpoint, and you know, everything

137
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: will work work itself out. So uh, like I said,

138
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 4: and then what was the second one?

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 9: Mike?

140
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 10: I was just saying, you know, these international games you're

141
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 10: you're traveling further. What did you've learned from your experience

142
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 10: in those games that have you had your best when

143
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 10: the balls in there?

144
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: I've learned that you better get some sleep on the plane,

145
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: learn to sleep on the plane rides. And but yeah,

146
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 4: whether it's a long long flight or whatever, there's no

147
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: excuse to anything, you know, it's just like I said,

148
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: it's another game.

149
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: Thank thanks for taking the time today.

150
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: That's it for today, guys. Thanks to Lani, Thanks everyone.

151
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: Hey Ben, thanks for doing this this afternoon. Curious about

152
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: the acclamation process with Drake over the course of the

153
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: days leading up to Sunday's game.

154
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: What was that like? Was it accelerated at all?

155
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 5: And once you were able to get in the game

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: and kind of get a rhythm going, any sort of

157
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: problems and anything unexpected crop up along the way.

158
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure. You know, Drake caught me up to

159
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 11: speed with everything real quick. Was able to work with him,

160
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 11: you know, trying to get all the things down quick

161
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 11: that normally you work on throughout the year, like Cadence

162
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 11: and you know, any points in the run game or anything,

163
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 11: or any points in protection. So he really helped me

164
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 11: out just being confident out there and able to play

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 11: fast and free.

166
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Thanks.

167
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 10: Next question, Mike es he Ben, how would you describe

168
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 10: the last four or five days.

169
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 11: Crazy for sure, obviously very blessed to be here. I'm

170
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 11: very excited to be here. I just want to do

171
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 11: my best to help this team win and ultimately to

172
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 11: do my job at the best of my potential, you know.

173
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: But I'm very excited to be here.

174
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 11: It's been a very crazy past few days, but very

175
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 11: blessed to be here though.

176
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: And how would you describe your personal football journey.

177
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 11: I think it's been one that's uh has had its

178
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 11: ups and downs, for sure. I mean, coming out of college,

179
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 11: I was undrafted, and then my first preseason game in Cincinnati,

180
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 11: I blew my bict you know, so that was obviously

181
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 11: that was really hard to be able to grind through

182
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 11: and come back to camp in Cincinnati and uh not

183
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 11: make the fifty three or.

184
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: The practice squad.

185
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 11: And then Seattle picked me up on their practice squad

186
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 11: and I was on their their fifty three for probably

187
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 11: six weeks or so, maybe seven, And then I was

188
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 11: on their practice squad for a month, and then I

189
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 11: wasn't on a team in the month of December, I

190
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 11: was just doing workouts with teams and you know, working

191
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 11: out training and finish up the regular season last year

192
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 11: with the Arizona Cardinals, and I signed a futures with

193
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 11: the Raiders and went through all camp with Las Vegas

194
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 11: and all of OTAs and everything, and obviously I was

195
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 11: on their practice squad this season until just.

196
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: A few days ago.

197
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 11: Uh So, you know, it's it's been a long journey,

198
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 11: but I think my faith and my family has really

199
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 11: helped me, you know, to keep pushing and to keep fighting.

200
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: So I'm very thankful for that.

201
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking the time to appreciate.

202
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: It absolutely, Alex Bart followed by two the Kyles.

203
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 12: Hey, Ben, I'm just wondering the process of getting prepared

204
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 12: for Saturday. I know you said Drake helped you, but

205
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 12: had you ever gone through anything like that, like having

206
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 12: or prepare for a game in such a short period

207
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 12: of time.

208
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 11: Uh No, I actually have not gone through you know,

209
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 11: game prep in such a short period of time. But

210
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 11: I think I really think all the coaches and all

211
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 11: my teammates really just made that job so much easier

212
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 11: for me. I mean, everyone you know just told me

213
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 11: just to play fast, and you know, don't worry about technique.

214
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 11: Just make sure we're all going to the right guys.

215
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 11: And uh, you know, that's what I tried doing. And uh,

216
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 11: you know, I couldn't have done any of this by myself,

217
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 11: So I really appreciate all the help that I've gotten

218
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 11: from all my coaches and all my teammates.

219
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 12: Was there a point during the game where maybe the

220
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 12: things start to slow down for.

221
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 11: You or.

222
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: You know?

223
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 11: The big thing for me was I didn't want to

224
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 11: go out there and just panic and being perfect. You know,

225
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 11: obviously we strive for perfection playing in the NFL, but

226
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 11: I think the big thing for me was just to

227
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 11: play free and you know, to do my best and

228
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 11: you know, rely on my teammates and coaches if if

229
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 11: I had any questions on anything.

230
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: So that's that's what I did. Thank you. Yep, Taylor

231
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Piles followed my damn room.

232
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 13: Hey Ben, thank you so much for your time. Mane,

233
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 13: Welcome to New England. I was wondering looking at your film, Man.

234
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 13: You play with some nastiness in your game, a lot

235
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 13: of physicality, so I was wondering for anybody who's not

236
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 13: familiar with your game, can you describe yourself as a player,

237
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 13: your skill set and also where that edge comes from.

238
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 11: You know, I just try to play tough, try to

239
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 11: play every snap through the whistle. I've played with a

240
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 11: lot of great teammates over the years that have really

241
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 11: helped me, helped me become a better player, and you know,

242
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 11: just growing through the years and you know, playing more

243
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 11: football I think has helped out a lot. But I

244
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 11: just try to be as physical as I can and

245
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 11: you know, play through the whistle every time.

246
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 13: And are there any players on the Patriots you were

247
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 13: familiar with before you got here.

248
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: I was familiar with Jalen.

249
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 11: We were in Las Vegas together, so that was pretty cool.

250
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: But other than that, no, not many. Thank you for

251
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: your time.

252
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 11: Brother, welcome of course, Thank you.

253
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: Dan, Roachbolver, sofy well I Ben, welcome to New England.

254
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: Thank you.

255
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 8: Just a thought on you mentioned how much Drake was

256
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 8: a help during the week and what have you.

257
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: What was your thoughts on Drake?

258
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 8: I mean all of us got to see him start

259
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 8: for the first time, you'll forever get on and Patriots

260
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 8: history as the starting center and his.

261
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: First ever start in the NFL.

262
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: What'd you think of his game? What was it like

263
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: to be with him in the huddle. Tickets through your

264
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: day with them, man, I thought Drake did awesome. You know.

265
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 11: It's it's tough playing in the NFL, especially as a

266
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 11: rookie and having all that pressure that he has.

267
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: I think he handled it perfect.

268
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 11: I think he really took control of our offense and uh,

269
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 11: you know, there was no hesitation when he was in

270
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 11: and I felt completely confident when he was back there

271
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 11: at quarterback, and that makes my job a lot easier

272
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 11: having a confident quarterback back there. And I thought he

273
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 11: played a great game.

274
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 8: And what was it like when you first got into

275
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 8: the huddle with him? It was like, you know, hey,

276
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 8: is this cool? Or you're both kind of thrown into

277
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 8: this the whole thing yesterday.

278
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 11: I mean it's definitely crazy, for sure, But I think

279
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 11: he was confident back there, and you know that his

280
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 11: confidence makes me confident, you know, and it makes the

281
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 11: whole offense and the whole team confident, you know. And

282
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 11: so seeing that from someone at such a younger age,

283
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 11: being a rookie, you know, is very special to see

284
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 11: and not everyone has that. So I think it was

285
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 11: it was great seeing him out there.

286
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. Of course, that's the last question to be

287
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: Sophie Weller.

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 14: I beg nice to talk to you again this morning.

289
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 14: Girodd's actually said that you were probably the best lineman

290
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 14: out there yesterday. I'm considering this kind of whirlwind week

291
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 14: you had coming in so quickly. What is it like

292
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 14: to hear something like that from the head coach having

293
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 14: just been thrown into everything?

294
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 11: It was great, you know, I'm very thankful to hear that,

295
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 11: But obviously I care more about winning, you know, And

296
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 11: there's a lot that I have to clean up individually,

297
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 11: and there's a lot that I have to do better

298
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 11: as well, and at the end of the day, the

299
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 11: most important thing is winning. So we're excited for another

300
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 11: opportunity in London next week.

301
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: So thank you, Ben, Thanks everyone. Nice.

302
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: How you doing today?

303
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: Great? Thank you Bryce.

304
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: Can you hear me?

305
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, all right, thanks for taking the time today.

306
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 10: Let's let's just start with the new snapper this week.

307
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 10: I wanted to just get your feedback on it. You know,

308
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 10: obviously that's a significant change when you do that.

309
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: How to go good?

310
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 15: I mean, obviously it's it's good, you know when I mean,

311
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 15: we've been we've worked with Tuck before in the past,

312
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 15: and I thought you did a just now standing job

313
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 15: coming in on short notice and being able to go

314
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 15: out and perform.

315
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I thought he did awesome.

316
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 10: As you went through meetings today, Bryce, Special Teams wise, I'm.

317
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: Curious what you guys identified with your units.

318
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 10: You know that you feel like it was good and

319
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 10: what if areas you'd like to see upgrading or improved.

320
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: I should say sure.

321
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 15: From a punt standpoint, I thought we covered really well.

322
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 15: Obviously I need to do my part better on that

323
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 15: first punt of the game. Nonetheless, I thought dial In

324
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 15: Schools covered really well well. The Fellas protected great. You

325
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 15: know Houston they have a very very physical Just Special

326
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 15: Teams unit as.

327
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: A whole in their four corps as well. You know,

328
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: we just need to.

329
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 15: Be able to match that intensity and that's kind of

330
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 15: just what we I feel like as a unit need

331
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 15: to do moving forward, is play with that energy because

332
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 15: you never know, with our units, it could be one

333
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 15: play and we can change a game. So whether it's

334
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 15: punt return, kick off return, kickoff, punt doesn't matter.

335
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: We better Chris Ryan next.

336
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 7: Hey, Bryce, hope all as well? With you, just how

337
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 7: would you evaluate how you've hunted? You know, this year

338
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 7: not about a third a way through the season. Have

339
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 7: you liked what you've you've put on tape and the

340
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 7: opportunity you know you've given, you know, the coverage guys

341
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 7: to make plays.

342
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it's not just one person, you know.

343
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 15: I feel like I can't get a good punt off

344
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 15: if you know it starts with the snap, goes into protection,

345
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 15: and then I go through my process and then after that,

346
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 15: you know, it's we have, in my opinion, the best

347
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 15: special teams player right now in schools, and I think

348
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 15: he's done in a phenomenal job.

349
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: And Dial's stepping up in a big role. Dell stepped

350
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: up in a really big role.

351
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 15: And having guys like Jilani and Ray Kwan and Christian

352
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 15: Tay and Hawk all playing very large roles on defense

353
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 15: on my unit as well is immensely helped. I would say,

354
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 15: I feel like I've taken a lot of really good

355
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 15: steps from last year to this year. I feel like,

356
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 15: you know, coach Coinn and Coach Springer have have definitely

357
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 15: helped me develop a process. Same thing with Joey and

358
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 15: Joe They've kind of helped me from a player side.

359
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 15: Coach Coinn and Coach Springer from a coaching side in development.

360
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 15: But at the end of the day, I just feel

361
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 15: like I take it one point at a time, and

362
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 15: you know, each situation is different. I feel like I

363
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 15: can still improve in playing the game, the game within

364
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 15: the game, so understanding certain situations better, like not going

365
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 15: too far back, but last week with the Miami game,

366
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 15: understanding you know, those certain situations and a half and

367
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 15: what kind of ball we need and what we have

368
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 15: to have at that point in time.

369
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 7: You mentioned something earlier that School is of the best

370
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 7: special teams player in the league.

371
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: What stands out to you about why that is?

372
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 7: Obviously it seems like you can do multiple things in

373
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 7: terms of making tackles, blocks, We've seen them, obviously block

374
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 7: a field goal. Is it the ability to do many things? Well,

375
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 7: why do you obviously watch? You know what other teams do?

376
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 7: What do you what do you see that makes Schools

377
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 7: the best?

378
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 15: Well, I'll say this, that's my opinion, and I don't

379
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 15: want to put that pressure on him at all. I

380
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 15: want him to be his own person, play his own game,

381
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 15: and I trust that he'll go out and give his full,

382
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 15: home hundred and ten percent effort every single time. So

383
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 15: I don't want to label him as that, that's just

384
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 15: my opinion. But what he brings to the table is

385
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 15: a leader. He puts it on tape every day in

386
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 15: practice and in games. You know, I say he gives

387
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 15: one hundred and ten percent because he goes that extra mile,

388
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 15: whether it's in workouts, in practice, trying to help out

389
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 15: the younger guys and just be that role model for

390
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 15: our core group. And I think that's been huge this

391
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 15: year for us.

392
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: Thank you.

393
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 6: Next question Chris Price, and I'd ask anybody else to

394
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 6: raise a hand if you have a question for Bryce.

395
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: Hey, Bryce, two real quick questions.

396
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 5: First of all, do you care or does it matter

397
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 5: who your personal pun protector is? And if so, how

398
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 5: much input do you happen too something like that?

399
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: That's the first question again.

400
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 15: Yeah, so I stay out of the personnel department, you know,

401
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 15: I feel like that's definitely on the coaches. I feel that,

402
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 15: you know, Dell's done a really really good job, you know,

403
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 15: being a rookie and coming in and learning how to

404
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 15: be the quarterback of this unit. But no, I personally

405
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 15: have no say in that. I think he's done an

406
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 15: awesome job though.

407
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: Second question, we've had a chance to watch you and

408
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 5: Joey go through your pregame routine, and it's a very

409
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 5: deliberate pregame routine. Watching from from the press box. Walk

410
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 5: us through what that's like and what sort of responsibility

411
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 5: do you have when you're talking with Joey. I imagine

412
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 5: it's about wind, cloud covered, that kind of stuff. What

413
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: does that look like for you from a pregame perspective, Yeah,

414
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 5: I mean the cliches. It's kind of like a golfer

415
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: in the caddy. And you know, when when joe and

416
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: I are discussing, like you said, a lot of it

417
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: is with wind and with lines. You know what our

418
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 5: starting line is for our kick, and you know, you

419
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 5: never know what kind of weather or wind you're going

420
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 5: to get here.

421
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: You know.

422
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 15: Personally, I felt like it shifted about midway through the

423
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 15: game yesterday where I thought I could go both ways,

424
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 15: and then I started, you know, to say, hey, I'm

425
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 15: going to play this way the.

426
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: Rest of the game.

427
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 15: And so that's kind of ideas that we bounce off

428
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 15: of one another during the game pre game. But I

429
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 15: think pregame is really valuable because it gives us our

430
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 15: time to it allows us to take our time and

431
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 15: process kind of everything and have that very clear communication

432
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 15: because once we get out there on the field, we're

433
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 15: just checking in. Hey, we're good. I know what Joey wants.

434
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 15: We discussed that before we go out, and we just

435
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 15: try and go out and execute.

436
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: Thanks. Mhm, I'll go back to Mike Grease.

437
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 10: We're he mentions golf there, I wanted to mention baseball

438
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 10: is so saying that when something good is happening in baseball,

439
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 10: maybe you don't mention it as it's happening because you

440
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 10: don't want it to stop. Similar in football as it

441
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 10: relates to whether it's punting, field goal kicking.

442
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 16: If you're a similar feel I guess I guess you

443
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 16: could kind of relate that to the announcers JINX like, oh,

444
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 16: this guy hasn't missed and whatever I think for us

445
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 16: in our unit.

446
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 15: And I feel like Joey and I have done a

447
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 15: good job in this is We've stayed in the moment

448
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 15: and kind of you know, each kick has a life

449
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 15: of its own, each play has a life of its own,

450
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 15: and obviously whether it's good or bad, we're very keen

451
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 15: on what happened, you know, what can we evaluate in

452
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 15: the short time and then we're moving on to the

453
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 15: next rep. And I feel like we've both done a

454
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 15: really good job of that make or miss good punt

455
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 15: or bad punt. I feel like we've been able to

456
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 15: put the good and the bad to the side, not

457
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 15: necessarily behind us, but understand that there's a lot more

458
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 15: football to play at the end of the day.

459
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 10: So just following up on that, like, if you had

460
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 10: something good going on, is it something that you're good.

461
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: Talking about rather or not, you know what I mean?

462
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 10: Like, like, it's like, so if you had like a

463
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 10: streak of a certain amount of games of a certain

464
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 10: yardage of a punt, like does that matter?

465
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: Does it matter to you?

466
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 12: You know?

467
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 10: You know, sometimes a plus fifty might not even not

468
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 10: a plus fifty a fifty plus yard it might not

469
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 10: even be what you want in that situation exactly. So

470
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 10: I guess my question is, tell me what that even

471
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 10: means to you, if anything?

472
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So frankly, like that's that.

473
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 15: Obviously it doesn't mean too much to me. Obviously it's

474
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 15: really cool that it's going on.

475
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: But I don't think about that.

476
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 15: I don't think, oh my gosh, I have to hit

477
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 15: a fifty yard punt here, I have to keep my

478
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 15: streak alive. When I go out and take the field,

479
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 15: what I think about is what can I do to

480
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 15: help our team in the best way that I can,

481
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 15: And whether that's you know, just hitting my ball, whether

482
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 15: it goes sixty five yards or it goes forty eight yards,

483
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 15: good hang time. I'm trying to put our team in

484
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 15: the best position possible. I'm trying to help our gunners

485
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 15: with direction and hang time. I'm trying to help the

486
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 15: defense with our starting field position to back the other

487
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 15: team up. But to your point, like you said, there's

488
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 15: a lot of times where you never know. I could

489
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 15: have an entire game where I'm only hitting plus fifty

490
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 15: punts and you know, if that, like you were talking about,

491
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 15: that streak is broken, I'm more concerned about how did

492
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 15: I operate today to help our team win. It's not

493
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 15: necessarily it's a cool stat to have, but I just

494
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 15: want to I want to help our team the best

495
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 15: way that I can, and if that means hitting five

496
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 15: or six forty yard punts from the fifty that are

497
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 15: down on the ten, That's what I'm gonna do.

498
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking the time today. I appreciate it.

499
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: Big of Rice. Thanks everyone,
