I know I'm not going back, unfortunately, 33 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: but uh, what can I control? As I was just 34 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: working out, spend time on family, hanging out with them, 35 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: and then next you know, got a phone call coming 36 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: here and I was like, let's go. Yeah, ready to go. 37 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: So I already knew what Dan Queen was doing here 38 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: was great, and I was like, hey man, I'm ready 39 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: to go, ready to ride. 40 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: So before we dive into that, you said that you 41 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: were focused on controlling the things that you can't control. Yes, 42 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: and what you were with the Patriots nine seasons, eight years, 43 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: eight years, so you're going into your ninth season. So 44 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: I know that's got to be easier said than done 45 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: because you've never been in this position before where you 46 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: didn't really know what was coming next, who was coming 47 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: next man, how did you get yourself through that? And 48 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: how did you gump to the reality that listen, I 49 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: can only control what I can control. 50 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 2: I learned that a long time ago, I would say, 51 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: while playing with the Patriots, kind of controlling the things 52 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 2: I can't control. It was, it was it was a journey, 53 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: I'll put that way, a learning process, and I kind 54 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: of just focus on like literally, just like literally. How 55 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: I made myself do that was when I was younger. Well, 56 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: it kept me from worrying about too much stuff like 57 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: what can happen and what can't happen. There's a lot 58 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: of sayings in my hair right now, but I say 59 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: the main thing was I can't worry about what could 60 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: happen because it hasn't happened yet. And I can't worry 61 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: about what the past because it already happened. So I 62 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: can mess up a lot of things still worrying about 63 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: back then. So I said, you know what, that's already happened. 64 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 2: That's history. It's done for the hands. Now I'm let's 65 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: move forward. So that's working out.

And I think I've seen it all. I've 160 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: been in the league for eight years. I've seen I've 161 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: seen it from afar or I've been in it. I mean, 162 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: I've been on championship teams. My first year went to championship, 163 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: my second year we want it. Then the next four 164 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: years was tough, and then the last four years was tough, 165 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: but it was it. 166 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: Was all learning experiences. 167 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: And what I learned was that you win and then 168 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: you learn. And so I've learned so much, just like 169 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: just from being in the league, being around great players. 170 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: So I know how to bring the nose up on 171 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: the plane. I know how to keep the plane going 172 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: all right, and so like I know how like I 173 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: know how to keep all the morale up, just kind 174 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: of like things that you kind of and I'm still learning, 175 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: Like I don't know what all even know. 176 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 3: My last name is Wise.

So like knowledge is like 180 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: knowing the information but applying it, it's wisdom. So being here, 181 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if everything I learned over there can 182 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: apply here. So it's kind of just like immerse myself 183 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: into the culture, seeing how everybody is, Okay, you know 184 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: what I can probably spring it do in there or 185 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: just we just learned just sit back and be a 186 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: sponge for sure. So I'll just I'm gonna just beat 187 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: that sponge for a while and then see why I 188 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: see how I can fit them. 189 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: Oh man, I love these sit downs. I love next 190 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: man up because you get to really see who the 191 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: person is. And so like I'm watching your highlights, I'm 192 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: watching football. This calm, cool, nice guy smiling is not 193 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: what you see on the film. You see a dog. 194 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: And that's kind of what I want to talk about 195 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: right now, because it's cool all this year, the names. 196 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: But we know one thing. We know we can play ball. 197 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: But it's the way you play ball and the way 198 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: that dan Quinn likes his guys to play ball. He 199 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: likes dog ass competitors on the film. I see it 200 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: from you. How do you fit that molde of that 201 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: dog as competitor? When you put that chrinch shrap on, 202 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: you put that helmet on and get to work. 203 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: People say you can't flip it the switch. I flip 204 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: that switch. I flip it in practice, and so like 205 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: I turn it on early and then like I always 206 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: felt like like if you can do it in practice, 207 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: and then you can do it in the game. Right, 208 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: So if I can see it in practice, and that evolved. 209 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: If I can see it in practice, then I can 210 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: see it I can do it in a game. So 211 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 2: like like my I flip my switch on. Sometimes I 212 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: be in film, I'm seeing like yeah, so then I 213 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: end up like all of a sudden, like I know 214 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: people have put them VR things on, but I feel 215 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: like my internal VR.
