1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: It's an amazing experience. Um, just seeing all the fans

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: out here, you know, something I've you've never seen before,

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: and you know the amount of people out here kind

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: of just show you know, the culture, the tradition of

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and uh, it's a great atmosphere to play

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: in beautiful weather. So you know, I can't complain that

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: that was funny. You know, kind of caught me with

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: a curveball a little bit. You know, I was just

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for a warm up and all said rookies

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: out there slipping a slide and so you know, got

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: a little way to begin in the practice. But like

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: I said, it was all you know, funny games. It

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: makes football fun. Whatever you learn about being with the

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Patriots these past more days, and you could, I would say,

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, just the work, you know, your effort um,

16
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: you know, discipline, you know, just being tough, smart and

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: you know dependable. But that's really you know what they're

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: instilling us as rookies, and you know you kind of

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: want to outside in and you know you don't really

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: understand what the Patriot away is. You know, coming in

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: as rookie. Now you understand what they mean when they

22
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: say that. So you know, just all those principles, you know,

23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: trying to improve every day, and you know that's what

24
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do, trying. He asked you about this

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: having your drafted, because lud can ever find out since

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: then it's been a little while since then, you find

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: out since then what specifically it was about you your

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: game act. So I was actually um Ernie was on

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, one of the treadmills, and I went up

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: to him. I said, you know, you know why I

31
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: meet and you know, he kind of just told me,

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: you know, don't think too far into it. You know,

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: you're a big guy, you're smart, and you're fast, and

34
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: you know that's what we need, uh you know, to

35
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: help us out in the Patrick's way and that's kind

36
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: of the way he drafts people or whatnot sou And

37
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: he just said, it wasn't anything big, anything crazy. You know,

38
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: you just uh you know, do your best and go

39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: out there and show much you could do. So may

40
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: it feel amazing. It's like I said, it's still it's

41
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: still to this day. You know, I feel I wish

42
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: he was actually still around, you know, just to kind

43
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: of see him around the practice. But uh, you know,

44
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: like I said, that's the moment I remember for the

45
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: rest of my life. You know, you know, like I said,

46
00:01:52,160 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm on about that. Oh absolutely, yeah, absolutely differ at

47
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: any things. Every year rookies your offensive new specifically, it's

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: just complicated nature that you find yourself trying to spend

49
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, late nights catching up on on things, or

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: calling people or texted guys with questions. How hasn't been

51
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: trying to learn everything they're drawing? You know, like I said,

52
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: it's all about you know, trial and there, you know,

53
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: improving every day. Uh, you know, I do find myself

54
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: you know sometimes up night I may have to stay

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: up a little hour extra just to study a little material.

56
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: But you know, like I said, that's not even probably

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: not even a rookies, probably everybody you know what I'm saying,

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: But just being a rookie specifically, you know, you can

59
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: never get far behind. You can never you know, get

60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: behind the train. So it's my job to you know,

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: stay ahead of the material. Study, you know, lean on

62
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: a vent if I can, you know, talk to you know,

63
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: some of the other rookies to help me out see

64
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: what stay ahead of material for sure? How someone like

65
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Matting something very similar to. You know, he's a great

66
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: guy to lean on because you know he knows a

67
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: lot of material. You know, QB's have no way more

68
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: than the receiver hats and no so you know, just

69
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: kind of leaning on him, see how he sees plays,

70
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: how you know a certain cover vich what I should do,

71
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, kind of be on the same page. You know,

72
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: it's really important. So you know, I definitely do lean

73
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: on Maca Lodges, you know, ask him some of the plays.

74
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: You know what I got, you know, what are you

75
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: seeing on certain looks and coverages everybody. That's part of

76
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: just being the receiver for the Patriots. You know, they

77
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: want you to learn, you know, the whole playbook. It's

78
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: not really just limiting anybody to the one position, you know,

79
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: one pacific thing. You know, you gotta learn what everybody's doing,

80
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: because not only is my route good for getting me open,

81
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: but it might get the next guy outside of me open.

82
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: So I gotta know you know what he has on

83
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: this play, you know what the guy on the other

84
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: side of field has in that place. So it just

85
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: compliment everybody at the same time. Time side oh man,

86
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: probably when I was a kid, I mean I couldn't

87
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: remember the last time, so that was definitely an enjoyable thing.

88
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, got a little soaked and

89
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: uh ready to go for practice now on the slipping slide,

90
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: they catch hold me jump early, so a lot of

91
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: guys are waiting for the ball then jumping, so I'll

92
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: just as soon as I started getting wet, just dove.

93
