1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: I did. I mean, look, he's he's a father first,

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: and I know this was certainly an interesting, you know,

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: situation for him. But uh, you know, I knew that

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: he was gonna support me no matter what, you know,

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: blood sticking of water. Certainly. As I said all week,

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: my family and I we have a lot of respect

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: and appreciation for the ram's organization. Uh, They'll always mean

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: a lot to our family. Will always be thankful for

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: every opportunity they have afforded our family. Um, And I

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: know certainly he feels that way. But tonight I'm just

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: so glad to be a Patriot and so thankful for

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: this experience with my teammates us. Truly nothing like it. Well,

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: he said congratulations, he was happy he had my son. Um.

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: You know, he just said he was proud of me, Um,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: and to be able to experience this with him. You know,

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: I just thanked him and my mom for everything they

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: did to make this possible for me. It wouldn't be

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: without my parents. You know, you never know how these

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: games play themselves out. Last year, there's one total punt

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: in the game. I think there are fourteen punts today.

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, these games are funny sometimes like that and

22
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, to think the game would be three to

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: three late in the game, I don't think anybody would

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: have predicted that, but we prepared ourselves in such a

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: way to be ready to execute. Obviously having to deal

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: with Johnny Hecker and all his fakes and bones and

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: all the calls that they make. I felt like we

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: we dictated the piece of play. We were able to

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: make some big plays and we needed to Ryan putting

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: his tail off. Our communication was great, so all around

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: we played very well. A little Bertie told me that

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: it's tough man. I mean, pattis as an emotional leader

33
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: for us. He brings so much toughness, um, so much

34
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: grit to our team, so much passion, and to see

35
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: him go on, I think it was, you know, kind

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: of a blow to us. I think we kind of

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: had to pull ourselves out a little bit of a

38
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: fault there. But when he came back out on the field,

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: he made sure everybody was focused, locked in and trying

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: to make the most of our opportunity. His leadership was

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: was very important last year, and I know this partium

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: last year was a lot more disappointing. How does this

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: team and you guys come back from that and get here,

44
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: you guys, the first team to win after the year before.

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: This character. I mean I've said it all year long,

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: you know, so many times we want to talk about it. Well,

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: this guy's this size, runs this speed, has put up

48
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: these numbers, he's that age. Uh. You know, there's no

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: way to quantify character and what you have in there

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: are fifty three plus guys that just have belief in character.

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: And that character is built when when the lights are off,

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: and that's built off the football field, Uh, making tough decisions,

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: doing the right things when nobody's looking, uh, not seeing

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: your own glory, but trying to see you know, and

55
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: do what's best for others at all times. And you

56
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: got guys in there, and they truly brought into that

57
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: and display that each and every day. And that's why

58
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: we're sitting here talking out part of me Super Bowl

59
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: in the Apejuals talking about him. Yeah, too small, too short,

60
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, too slow. So I'm surprised he won them

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: VB the five yard line. Yeah. You know, Ryan and

62
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: I we practiced that a lot, and you know, it

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: depends on the situation where we're on the field. Um,

64
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, we work on that a lot, and again

65
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: that's not a glamorous play, but in a game like this,

66
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: one field positions so critical, it was nice to be

67
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: able to make those plays to help swing the game.

68
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: And also Grunt, by the way, I didn't answer that

69
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: he played this till off fulne too. Not bad for

70
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's washed up, right, And I think Jason

71
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: said that there were either science posted it all year long.

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. But the defense. The defense, I mean, look

73
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: the Rams. Their offense has been unbelievable all season long.

74
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got some of the most explosive players

75
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: at their positions across the board, the quarterback, the kids

76
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be good for a long time. But the

77
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: way those guys play tonight, I mean really unbelievable. For

78
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: them to be able to compete down after down, keep

79
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: pressure on Jared and you know, stay in the face

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: of the receivers. It was really big. Jason mccordy had

81
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that best corner in the league. Jason mccordy had

82
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: mentioned that all You're long. Throughout the going, there were

83
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: some signs that said is the Patriots kynasty done? It's

84
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate vindication of well, I mean, we don't do

85
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: it to say how I told you so. I said

86
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: a few things in just here earlier, just for some laughs.

87
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: But you know, we for one another. We don't need

88
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: the approval of men. That's not what we work for. Um.

89
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: If you work for the approval of men, you'll never

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: be satisfied. You know. They give a lot of men

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: of faith in this room, uh, that are working for

92
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: something much bigger than themselves. And ultimately there's there's only

93
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: one person's approval, and that's the good lords that I

94
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: want at the end of the day. So you talk

95
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: about them over here today, man, about just being together. Man,

96
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: this is so special for their family, for them to

97
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: be able to be on the journey together the last

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: thirty one years, and Jason to have the type of

99
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: career that he's had with a lot more downs and ups,

100
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: to come over here and contribute on such a peopway

101
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: for our team and play alongside his brother. Um, you

102
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: can't write. You can't write a story better than that.

103
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: And those two brothers are special men. Um, it's an

104
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: order to call them teammates. What could you do that, brother?

105
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Special teammates that you are? You have been consistent, you know,

106
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: I like playing football I just want a job, so whatever.

107
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: To answer you, I'm gonna dom
