1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, first first a real game in Jillette Stadium,

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: So it's very exciting for me, uh to the next

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: game and import it's important because it's the next game

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: on the schedule, so very important to go out there

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: with my teammates and uh execute and do the best

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: we can to get a win. I know you're on

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: the other side of the all your thoughts mac Joe's

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: progression through camp from day one to he's a starting Quartermack.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, spot he earned. But I'm sure that coach Belichick,

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: you know, ahead of that preduct pretty well. You know

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: he's a starter. You know, that's the decision that uh,

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: coach Bill Belichick may so you know, that's the scision

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: that that we stick by as a team. Every team

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: for you started from getting one. So that, uh, let

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: everybody know that's what you guys. It's the most important thing.

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: You know. I always like to say, you know, stop

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: the run and have some fun. You know, everybody wants

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: to pass rush, everybody wants to get sacks. I mean

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: before you do that, you got to stop the run.

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: So I mean that should be a mentality of everybody.

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: You know, just stop the run. I know for sure,

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: it's a mentality of hours, you know, stopping the run.

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: And you know what a practice like today, I've padded practice.

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to emphasize that a lot, you know. So,

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's the first thing that comes up to

26
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: mind when you talk about playing football, when you talk

27
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: about a tough team that comes up stopping the rund.

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: You can't be a tough team if you don't stop

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: the run. Ar Uh, not really gonna speak on that. Uh.

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: You know, I enjoyed my time down in Miami, but

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm here in New England and I'm excited to get

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: going on Sunday. It's not gonna be I you know

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: this in nature of the business, you know what I mean.

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: We all signed up to play the NFL, and we

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: know what we signed up for, you know. I mean,

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not nothing personal. It's just a business,

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: you know. I know they change coordinators. Nature of that

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: offense and watching the quarterbacks, quarterbacks, what do you know

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: about the nature how they play? It'll be full of

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be tough. He's a very tough coach.

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna have those guys ready to go. So you know,

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm expecting that on Sunday. I'm expecting that best shot,

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he's he's gonna have those guys

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: ready to go. Just being with him for two years

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: in Miami, I mean, you know, he's a hard nose,

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: tough guy, you know. So, like I said, whatever offense

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: they run, whatever defense around, I'm pretty sure it's gonna

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: be tough. But you know, their offensive linemen pretty much

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: room and maybe on staff. How do you use your

50
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: experience in Miami practicing against those guys, knowing what they're

51
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: white and either share them with their teams transferred on

52
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday. I mean, at the end of

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: the day, I mean, it's not about them. It's about

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: our techniques and our fundamentals we bring to apply on Sunday.

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, I mean, like I know them very

00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: But I mean it's about us as a team, you know,

59
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,679

Speaker 1: you do those things, you know, you're gonna put yourself

96
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,640

00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. And that starts, you know with like

98
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040

100
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: and it's you know, uh strap it up, go out there,

101
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: you know, execute whatever that is, and uh get ready

102
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: for Sunday. When you say stop the run. Fune got

103
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: it from coaching and those you run the LSU coach,

104
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: and it was you run the lsho. You know. He

105
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: always used to say, you know, stop the run to

106
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: have some fun. So that kind of was my mentality

107
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: once I left you know there and got drafted in Miami.

108
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Didn't came here, you know, So I mean I was

109
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: always built on, you know, stopping a run, you know,

110
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: for the stop the run to a lot of my

111
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: teammates are me to have some fun on third down,

112
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that's the key, that's the model,

113
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, like I said, you're

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be a tough team if you don't stop

115
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: the run. I mean, no matter no matter who you are,

116
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: I believe in stopping a run is you know, that's all.

117
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: It's got to do with some techniques, but it's mostly

118
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: all about toughness. So you're not gonna have You're not

119
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna do that, and you're not gonna be a tough

120
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: football team. And that's Anybody who knows football can tell

121
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: you that eement of the start of the football season. Unrelated,

122
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: far more boring mentioned. You know how much you and

123
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: and the guys you played, the guys people you grew up.

124
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, it's gonna impact me, you know,

125
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: being from Louisiana born and raised. You know, me and

126
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: my foundation are looking at uh dotating some things you know,

127
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: back till we Sianna uh with Hurricane Idol. You know,

128
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad as Hurricane Katrina. So I like

129
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: to look at it like, now I have a platform.

130
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: You know, Hurricane Katrina. I was probably still in what

131
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: middle school maybe elementary when that when Hurricane Katrina happens.

132
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: So now that I have a platform, now that I

133
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: have some money in my pocket, you know, I want

134
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: to make sure that I can you know, take care

135
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: of those back home. It was effected by hurricane Hurricane Idol.

136
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: So that's big on my agenda. I asked it last week,

139
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, now that's that's not important to me. That's

140
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: not important. You know, of course you know maybe you know, uh,

141
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,880
