1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Hey, Julian are you I'm doing what? How are you doing? 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: All right? It seemed like you and Cam had a 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: nice connection going on today practice. What's the process spending 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: life with Cam? Just getting to know him off the field? 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: I think, Uh, it's it's been that where we're just 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: still just trying to get to know each other, um, 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, just like I am with all my new teammates, UM, 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: but specifically with you know, a guy that you know 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: distributes to football. Um. You know, just kind of getting 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: to know each other as people on the field off 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: the field, and you know, trying to build a rapport. Um. 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: You know. That's what I'm doing also with with hoy 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: And and Stid. But those guys have been around, so 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: it's been a you know, it's been one of those 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: things where I gotta I gotta catch catch up with Cam. 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: I think, I think this is an obvious question, but 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: how helpful is it when you have a practice like 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: today where you know, you just catch a handful of 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: balls you know from a certain order? Say that again, 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: but how helpful is it when you guys going practice 21 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: and do connect the handful of times like it was today? 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean, anytime you go out and execute a play 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: in practice. I think that creates confidence not only in 24 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: your head, but um, you know your your teammates ahead 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: and and you know for that one play to happen, 26 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: eleven guys have to do something right. So I think 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: the more we go out and execute, um, regardless of 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: who who's executing, I think that's just confidence building. Thank 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: you all right? Next question Phil Perry, followed by Mike Giardi. Hey, 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: julian Um.

Julian out 125 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: at practice today. All the reporters were up in the 126 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: bleachers and um, one player in a yellow undershirt looked 127 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: up and said, hey, you guys, you got all your stories. 128 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: You're writing down the stories, and so I was hoping 129 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: that you could help me with one. UM, And it 130 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: sort of builds off what you were just talking about 131 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: being one of the veteran players, and if you were curious, 132 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: just I mean, it feels like a new era here, 133 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, with Patriots football and with your perspective, if 134 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: you were, I'd all reassured with what you've seen the 135 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, just to know that sort of 136 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: things are continuing on the way they pretty much always have, 137 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: even though it feels like a sort of a new 138 00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: era of Patriot football. Well, Mike, you know, every year 139 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: is a new era. Every year is a new year. UM. No, 140 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: two teams are similar that I've ever been on. UM. 141 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: So you know, this is the time of the year 142 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: that we go out and and we we learn each other. 143 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we're doing. And we're trying 144 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: to find and create a cohesiveness unit. UM, you know, 145 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: not just in our room, but as a team and 146 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: as an offense, and you know, trying to adjust and 147 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: adapt to uh, you know, these new kind of this 148 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: this epidemic and just like everyone else is dealing with. 149 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: But I feel like you know, the ability to be 150 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: able to adjust and to you know, take advantage of 151 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: the time you do have. I think that's gonna be 152 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: a big part of how we we go out and 153 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: shape ourselves. And the only time we'll tell. But you know, 154 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: we got a lot of guys that are coming in 155 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: working hard, excited to work, and you know, it's it's 156 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, we're all just 157 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: trying to get better, and we're all just trying to 158 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: do our job, and if we all collectively do that, 159 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: that's when you have your best stuff going. Next question, 160 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: it looks like it might be the last question, Allen. 161 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Stacy, thy Julian, how you doing. I'm good, Alan, 162 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: how are you? I'm fine? Thank you. Good question for 163 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier. You mentioned the word report and you 164 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: also mentioned the word execution. In other years, you had 165 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: work against other teams, and then you had preseason games 166 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: where to speed working against another opponent would increase. This year, 167 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: you don't have it. So you're building the execution on 168 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: a consistent basis with yourself. Do you worry it about 169 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: that the real execution for this team and actually every 170 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: team really until the games start, and the speed will 171 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: be so different that it'll prevent the execution from being 172 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: there early in the season. That's a great question. But 173 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, the only thing I can worry about are 174 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: things I can control. And uh, like you said, all 175 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: these other teams are dealing with the same exact scenarios 176 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: that we are, and uh, it's it's a new normal, 177 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: so at least for this year. So you know, I think, Um, 178 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: I think you worry about going out and working on 179 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: things that you have to work on individually. And you know, 180 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: the more you do it against people that are pretty 181 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: familiar with what you're doing, because we've been doing it 182 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: so long against each other, I think you can create 183 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: sometimes even better habits of trying to switch things up. 184 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: So I think that's the route, you know. I mean, 185 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: that's the route we're obviously going to have to go. Uh. 186 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: But you know, I think the real main thing on 187 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: that whole thing is, uh, you know, worry about things 188 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: you can control and and and right now, that's just 189 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: trying to stack you know, good days back to back 190 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: and really taking advantage of of uh, you know, the 191 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: time that we have together. We do have a problem 192 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: more questions. We're gonna go Dan, Roach and Jills, can 193 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: you hear me? Yeah, just a question about and watching 194 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: you out there and watching you off to the side 195 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: with cam and just watching what you're doing out here. 196 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: How hard or what have you learned over the years 197 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: as a veteran about how how hard you have to 198 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: work at your craft and how much does it consume 199 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: you as you go about your business on a daily basis, 200 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: especially through camp here. How hard is it is that 201 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: the question, oh, how much does it consume you? You know, 202 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: not to merely, I mean it consumes your whole life. 203 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: Every decision you make, at least in my life is uh, 204 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, according to you know, your football life, it's 205 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: it's pretty gnarly. Um, you know, consumes a lot of time. 206 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: And you know, I think that anyone who's trying to 207 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: be good or uh, you know, really good at something, 208 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean I think they could say they do the 209 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: same thing, whether it's football or different craft or you know, 210 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: whatever craft you're in. I think if you haven't you know, 211 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: obsessed kind of an obsession with trying to you know, 212 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: get some you know, results, or or attain a goal 213 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: or anything of those kind of uh, you know, anything 214 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: along those lines. I think that's that's what you consume 215 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: yourself with, is what you're really trying to get. Uh 216 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you could think about it in your mind, 217 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: you can hold in your hand gole saying, so you know, 218 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: I guess it consumes a lot of my time. I 219 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: can't speak for a lot of other people, but uh, 220 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: you know, it does definitely does consume, you know, and 221 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: make you feel unbalanced. It's tough to be a friend 222 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: or a family member or you know, a person you're 223 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: in a relationship with, especially during football season, because you know, 224 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things where it's, uh, you know, 225 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: you you're you've been put on this earth to play 226 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: football and it's going to consume a lot of time 227 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: because you got goals in the true final questions Phil 228 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Perry and Doug Kite. Thanks Stacy Julian. You mentioned some 229 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: of the younger guys in your room right now. I 230 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about one in particular with Nikkiel 231 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: he missed a few practices, we didn't see him out 232 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: there for a few days. How valuable are those reps 233 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: that that he missed early in camp? Here and when 234 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: he has been out there, what have you seen from 235 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: him in terms of his effort level? Um? Once again, 236 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: I think you know that's that's a coach, that's a 237 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: coach question, I think. UM, I think trading camp is 238 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: extremely value, especially um, you know, especially this year, um, 239 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: when we have such crazy turn turnover. UM. So regardless 240 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: of of who it is, you know, I think anytime 241 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: I don't get to practice or anyone doesn't get to practice, 242 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean that's that's definitely very tough because this is where, 243 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: like we were talking about earlier, this is where you 244 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: begin to gain trust from your teammates. You show them accountability, 245 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: You show them how dependable you are, UM through being 246 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: able to take things from the classroom, uh, to the 247 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: drills and the drills to you know, the team drills, 248 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: team practice and and and seeing you know, it's one 249 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: thing to go out and do, uh, you know, something 250 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: right for yourself. I think another another reason why I 251 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: like to go out and do something right or work 252 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: hard at something is to show my teammates, UM that 253 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, you're here, you know, working your tail off 254 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: for them, because ultimately, it's eleven guys, it's the ultimate 255 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: team sport. Eleven guys have to do something right for 256 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: five to six seconds, and if one guy doesn't do 257 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: something right, it can make the play jeopardize. So, you know, 258 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: I think it's tough, you know so, but you know 259 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: he was out here today and you could ask coach 260 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: on how he's doing. I mean, Nikki will always working hard, 261 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: but it's definitely always tough for anyone to go out 262 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: and miss practice. Thanks Julian, Thank you Julian, And we're 263 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: gonna cut that off there. Jonathan Jones is next.
