1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: What's it like to be back? What do you think

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: of the composition? Yeah, a little bit. Uh, my wife

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: will probably tell you. I don't.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how much we left. So there's always

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: constantly work going on. Nice to get away, get a

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: little vacation in, but uh, we're always working here, try

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: and find ways to get better. The league doesn't stop,

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: uh for summer. It'd be great if it did, but

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: it doesn't. So keep finding ways to try and improve

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: the team constantly every day of the year.

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: You guys had dallly ensus with DeAndre Hopkins. How did

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: you from your of you? How'd that flat show? With

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: the offer you guys made and the opportunity.

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: To assignment, we explore every option that's out there. DeAndre

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: became available pretty early on in the spring. Obviously there

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: were reports even before he was released, spent time working

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: on it. We exhaust every every option. Uh, you know,

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: had him in here, talk to him.

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Sorry, revenal technical difficulties here.

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: But look, there's you know, everybody's got a chance to

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: to get in it right now. You know, you look

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: at the salary caps. Basically anybody can make anything work

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: right now. You just you know, move some things around

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: and get creative. So I know we were one of

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: the teams you know mentioned that was in it prevalent, prevalent,

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: most prevalent. But uh, you know, we exhausted our options

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: and did what we thought, you know, made the most sense.

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: You have a bunch of cap space now, it's a

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: bunch of cap space for next year.

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: You got a number of guys who are not under

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: contract and have expiring ones. Is this a good opportunity

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: at this time of year to try and explore opportunities

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: to extend.

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're always in conversations, just like earlier in the summer,

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: took care of a couple of guys who are gonna

36
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: be up next year. So there's only so many of us.

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: We can only get so many guys done here at

38
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: the time. Uh, there's a lot of time and that's

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: that's put into it by you know, our end you know,

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: contractually and trying to do everything that makes sense. So

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: we'll keep looking at different options. And you know, we're

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: always trying to I like, taking care of business. So

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: you know, there's not a whole lot of sitting around

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: and you know, just waiting for things to happen, Like

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: we're trying to be pretty proactive with things.

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: You guys do have a.

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: Lot of guys kind of last year, what's that dynamic

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: like to this book out tea that create a little

49
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: more emergency.

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: You guys like that, and it's round careers. It's like

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: having so many guys, it's a contact here.

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: I think that can be you know, there's there's always

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: gonna be guys. If you've got a high profile guy.

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: Contracts are just going to be a part of it

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: every off season, and at a certain point you've got

56
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: to really just knuckle down and focus on the season

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: at hand. A lot of that stuff is just going

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: to take care of itself. Trying to get contracts done

59
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: right now, it's kind of you don't have all the

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: information players got another season that he could potentially you

61
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: know what is production is going to be high or low.

62
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: There's a lot of factors that go in at health, durability,

63
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: role on the team leadership. So you know, with a

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: whole other season to go, it makes it tricky trying

65
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: to to gauge the market at these times. But when

66
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: we think that we can do that, and obviously the

67
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: player and his representatives think that we can do that,

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: then it's smart to try and get something done.

69
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: We're visiting times to the question a little bit earlier

70
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: regard to.

71
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: The cash base. We also rank among them the kind

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: of cheapest teams in the league in terms of cash

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: spent this year, upcoming years, I think even last year.

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Why is that?

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: Uh, I haven't been spending money for too long here,

76
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: so I really only know what's been going on in

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. We've been aggressive and trying

78
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: to get things done, and we always try and look

79
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: at every player's contract and see how it fits together

80
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: with the team. It's not just each individual contract. You

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: got to manage the locker room and you know, be

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: cognizant of what's going on with each player and how

83
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: that fits at their position side of the ball, and

84
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: then the locker room as a whole. Really excited to

85
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: have Juju. Good to see him out here today. He's

86
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: been working. Guy loves ball, the guy wants to compete,

87
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: and the guy is tough. So I know we're used

88
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: to to seeing those kinds of players kind of at

89
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: his position around here. Uh So I don't think that

90
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: with having Juju in here, it's a it's a new

91
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: face and a new name, But I don't think it'll

92
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: be a big deviation from uh what people around here

93
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: are accustomed to seeing inside some of those guys. Juju

94
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: is gonna have to go out there and carve out

95
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: as he's Juju. He's not Julian, He's not any of

96
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: these other guys. And he's got the you know, production

97
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 2: in the career to stand amongst himself.

98
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Juju's Juju. He's gonna go out here.

99
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: And be himself and look forward to seeing him, you know,

100
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: have a have a productive season.

101
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: But if you guys have a big decision to make

102
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: at the end of this.

103
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: Year on Matt Kilkes, what.

104
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: Do you need to see from him this year to

105
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: pick up that fIF year option.

106
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: Or it's the same thing with everybody, go out compete,

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: same thing with me. Find ways to get better every day.

108
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: And this is day one, so we're gonna take today.

109
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: He's got to get better the next day, just like

110
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: we've all got to get better. So we've got a

111
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: whole season, like I just talked about, we've got a

112
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: whole season of unknown to sit here and try and

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: make some kind of decision off of an incomplete, uh

114
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: you know story that's you know, it's just a long

115
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: way away.

116
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: The importance of that position. I mean, you know, that's

117
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: that's a very important position to our team to have

118
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: certainty at So given the importance of that position, how

119
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: important is it for you guys to make a decision

120
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: moving forward whether he's a guy you've poked around or not.

121
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we'll just have to take this year

122
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: as it is. We've got two other years to go by.

123
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: Those two last two years just don't get forgotten. That's

124
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: all part of building the portfolio. And you know this,

125
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: we're so far away from making any of those kind

126
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: of decisions. The phrase we have the phrase number one

127
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver.

128
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: What's your definition of a number one wide receiver? Uh?

129
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: Well, we typically, you know, in scouting, we typically define

130
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: a number one wide receiver who's a three down guy.

131
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

132
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 2: If that player's got inside outside, outside, inside versatility, that's great,

133
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: But it's a player who can go out there and

134
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: you know, it's typically an X you know who we

135
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: think of as a guy who can go out there

136
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: and get open on his own and then you know

137
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: the hallmarks that that we have here, get open, catch

138
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: the ball and gain yards after the catch. The more

139
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: that they can do that, you know, size wise, to

140
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: be involved in the run game. You know, that's all

141
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: important as well. By you a definition to the Patriots

142
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 2: have such a player right now or is it just

143
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: more the general talent wise?

144
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: You think, I think we've got a great group.

145
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: I know, uh, you know, Troy coach Brown and Ross

146
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: coach Douglas are are working hard with those guys, and

147
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about what they're going to be able

148
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: to do with those guys and working with the quarterbacks.

149
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 2: And it's all about coming together. And it's not having

150
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: you know, this position or this position by definition, it's

151
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: you know, there's a sign around here that's you know,

152
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: been said hanging for a long time.

153
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: We're not collecting talent. We're trying to build a team.

154
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: So you know, I don't know however you want to

155
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: define it. We got to put the best team together

156
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 2: that we think that's going to marry with what coach

157
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: O'Brien Coach Belichick want for our offensive philosophy. Again, we

158
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: talked to talk to you know, DeAndre Hopkins, that's you

159
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: know well known. We explore as many options as as

160
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: we can. You know, Dowlin's another player This is a

161
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: really really unique situation with both these players. You don't

162
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: typically have players of this caliber available at this time.

163
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: The the content acts that are signed for players right now.

164
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: Are nowhere near in the neighborhood of the contracts that

165
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: these players are generally expecting to sign. Usually these are

166
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: all minimum guys with splits. Uh So this is a

167
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: unique situation, and any unique situation, I think everybody evaluates

168
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: and looks at, you know, with Dalvin and you know,

169
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: we saw firsthand last year going up to Minnesota on

170
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving, which was great to spend Thanksgiving on in Minnesota.

171
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: Uh uh, you know saw Dalvin firsthand and what he

172
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: can do.

173
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: Spending a little bit.

174
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: If the team spending is down relative.

175
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: To the rest of the league.

176
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: What does that say about maybe the team's the median goals. Yeah,

177
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't think our goals are ever going to change

178
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: around here. There's expectations. Look, we we fully intend on

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: going out there and competing, and you know, we're doing

180
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: everything we can to achieve the highest level success. Like

181
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: that's the standard, and the standard is not going to change.

182
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: That's a standard I'm hell to That's a standard at

183
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: everybody around here is hell to, and I don't think

184
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: I could function somewhere where that wasn't the standard.

185
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: It would be very difficult.

186
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: Look, I love summer and and spending time with my family,

187
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: and don't get me wrong, I do that, you know

188
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: that first hand filled But like we work around here,

189
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: this is a place where if you love ball, this

190
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: is the place for you. If you go somewhere else

191
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: and you know you think you can just coaston By,

192
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: then this isn't the place for you. So you know,

193
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: with that comes a certain amount of work, and you

194
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: put that amount of work in and you want to

195
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: see some results. Cree, agency, I'm sorry, Can you speak

196
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: up a little.

197
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: Agency already? Under law?

198
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you'd have too many good players

199
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: on your team. I don't think you'd have too many

200
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: good players at one position. Things happen really quickly in

201
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 2: this league. Great to have Hunter, Great to add another

202
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: player like Mike Uh. I think they are they'll work

203
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: really well together and both work really well to go

204
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: together with Mac. So they're not the only two guys

205
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: in that room either. I think you know we've worked

206
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: hard at trying to put together a good room there

207
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: will Coach Longing is doing a great job working with

208
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: those guys. So you just you can't have too many

209
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: good players anywhere.

210
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: You're coming from Miami maybe, you know, with.

211
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: Their system changes, has had an opportunity to uh you

212
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: mean from when coach McDaniel came there last year. Yeah,

213
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: we you know, we're certainly familiar with Mike from coming

214
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: out in college and coach O'Brien recruited him, uh seeing

215
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: them twice every year, so we know everything that he

216
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: can do.

217
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: And that's not just against us.

218
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: You know, we watch every game that the Dolphins are

219
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: playing in preparation, so we've seen a lot of Mike

220
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: Asiki and and all those players in in our division. Questions.

221
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: Worked a couple of bitter running backs recently.

222
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: Sounds like what the team you wanted to add? Would

223
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: you like to add another veteran today, especially.

224
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: After the message you could never have too many good

225
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: players on your team.

226
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: So we worked out a couple of running backs. We've

227
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: worked out some.

228
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: Different positions here least, we're going to continue to work

229
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: out players, just like every.

230
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: Team in the league is doing.

231
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 3: Uh.

232
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: That's again just going back to exploring every possibility that

233
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: we can to make this as strong a roster as possible. Uh,

234
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: you know, Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year. I

235
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: don't think they're saying, oh, we're good, like trying to

236
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: find ways to get better.

237
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: When talking about adding agents and the talent that's still

238
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: out there right now. Why do you believe that Foxboroughs

239
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: still an attractive destination in.

240
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: The NFL Because I think guys who love football know

241
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: that this is a place for guys who love football.

242
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: So there's guys out there that like to work, that

243
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: like to put in the time. I think that they

244
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: know that the locker room that they're coming into there's

245
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: be other like minded guys, just like it would be

246
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: difficult for me to go somewhere else and have to

247
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: adapt to that culture.

248
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

249
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: You know, once you're institutionalized, it's it's tough. It was

250
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: tough for Brooks out there. Uh So, once you become

251
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: institutionalized and you know a certain way about going about

252
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: your business, it's not the only way by any means,

253
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: And and there's other ways of of doing things that

254
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: can you know, yield great you know, have tremendous results.

255
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: But this is kind of the way that I know,

256
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: it's kind of this is what I grew up around.

257
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: As a kid. So uh, if you love football, this

258
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: place to be. Thank you. Guys enjoy it. Thank you
