1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Yeah, how's it going going on? Good? Hey? So, um,

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask about the stimulated game you just

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: played too weird to be out in the stadium with

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: basically nobody there and to have all that, you know,

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: crowd noise and kind of what was that vibe like

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: for you today? Um? Well, when we personally, I was,

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: I was excited to be out there in in in

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium. You know, every time get an opportunity to

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: be out there, is is it's a good time. It

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: is of course different. You know, it's probably gonna be

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: different this whole year. So definitely is going to take

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: a little bit getting used to. But anytime you get

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: a chance to be in one of these big arenas,

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an opportunity. Nice. Um. Yeah, So what

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to also ask about Paul question Barry, you know,

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: you guys have both walked pretty unusual paths to the NFL.

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: And what have you guys gotten to you know, how

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: you got to know each other the last week or

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: so and uh, you know what what are your thoughts

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: on him? Oh? Well, Paul is a Paul is a

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: great guy, you know, working extremely hard. Um, of course

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: with this with his military military background. You can you

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: can definitely see that and and how hard he's working,

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: how hard he's preparing. So, um, I'm really excited to

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: have him here and I've been working with him and

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: we'll we'll we'll keep grinding added um through this camp. Yeah,

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: I guess just um, you know, this is obviously we

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: talked already a lot about how this is your second

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: year and you know, how you've kind of come along

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: now that we're kind of at the point where we're

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: closing in on the season. How do you feel about

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: your personal preparation for this year. Do you feel like

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: you've kind of you're on schedule or are you feel

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: like it's still you know, some more catching up to

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: do just because of everything, like with the world and everything. Well,

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: I think it will definitely be a it's a it's

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: a different year, so the preparation is different. Um, Our

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: off season was different, Our camp is different, you know,

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: just overall the the world is not the same way

40
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: it was last year. This is not going to be

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: a regular season, so the preparation is different. But at

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: the same time, the principles remain the same and stay

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: true through this training camp, and that's every day coming in,

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: find ways to get better, and I try to keep

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: my world small, you know. I don't try to think

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: too far ahead. Um. I try to stay in a moment.

47
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: So me personally, right now, I can only talk about today,

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: what I did today, you know, and what I'm about

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: to I'm getting ready to go lift here. So to me,

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't I don't. I don't try to concern myself

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: with with those type of thoughts. You know. I try

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: to stay stay sating on what I can control and

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: and and that's pretty much pretty much it. So, um,

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, for me, when I was out there watching

55
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: you today, you know, a big part of your job

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: is physical, like you're hitting people alive. So on a

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: day like today where there's no kidding, what do you

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: do to you know, to learn and you know, what

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: do you focus on? I guess just seeings that you

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: know that aspect of your game is not something that's

61
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: being done, you know, a day like today, Well, I

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: mean a lot of it is is mental. You know.

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: You you put yourself in in those situations. You you

64
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: make your reads, you do your work on your mental game.

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: You know, Um, the physicality is going to be there.

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: The physicality is gonna be there during the games, but

67
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean during any practice week. There there are only

68
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: so many times that we're in pads, and a lot

69
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: of the work that you do is the mental work

70
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: and walkthroughs um getting different type of looks and using

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: those reps, even if they're not physical reps to prepare

72
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: you for the game. So the mindset really doesn't change

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: too much whether we're in pads or not. It's just

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: the finish, you know, is whether or not there's contact

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the rep. But everything besides that

76
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: you approach it the same. Well, I I can't think

77
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: of anything off the top of my head, so yakap,

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: I guess I'll leave this to you. Is there anything

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: that's going on in your life that's interesting or fascinating

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: that people might like to you might be interested in

81
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: hearing about. I wish I had something for you, but uh,

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: it's it's training camp, man, I'll do nothing else. So um,

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: I wish I had something for you, but I couldn't

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: think of nothing. All right, Paula, thanks so much. I

85
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: appreciate the time you got it
