How are you doing better now now 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: that the connection going? First thing, how is camp this 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: year compared to last year? Obviously you've only been in 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: the NFL now you're just going onto your second year. 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: How have the two camps been comparable? Yeah, I mean 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: it's it's definitely different, like you expect with with COVID 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: and everything. Uh, you know, I think our our entire 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: building has done a really good job and our support staff, 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: the operations team, everybody's done a really good job of 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, kind of maneuvering different things and changing different 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: things in order so that you know, we can function 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, you know, as best as we 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: can to to what a normal you know training camp 15 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: would look like. Um, but it's definitely been different. You know, 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: it's had its challenges, but you know, at the end 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: of the day, it's it's good just to be back 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 1: in the building and be around everybody and play football. 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: Sorry about that technical glitch right there on the top, 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: by the way, that was some weird introductory music to you. 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: Into was a tough start, it was, it was I 22 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: feel like we gotta lay some lay some cooler inroads. Uh. 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: If you could pick your own uh tell uh interview music? Uh, 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: sort of like walk up music. What would it be, Jared? 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: Because that probably wasn't the way to start the interview. God, 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: that's a great that's a great question. I might I mean, 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: being from Texas and everything, and I have to go 28 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: to some country music or something. U. But I've never 29 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: I've never thought about intro music. I didn't really play 30 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: baseball back in the day, so I never had really 31 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: like a walk up song or anything. Um, So I 32 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: don't have to think about that, all right, you can 33 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: you can switch that one around for a while after 34 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: we ask you that that was a little introductory softball, 35 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: and now we have to ask you the football questions. 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: Um so, so we'd heard about a week and a 37 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: half ago that you were limited at practice and that 38 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: you may have gotten injured and had to go to 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: the hospital one night. Um, how are you feeling and 40 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: how's that? You know, how's that injury now? And how 41 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: are you feeling? Yeah, I'm you know, I don't want 42 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: to get too too much into it, but you know, 43 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: I'm feeling great now. You know, just the medical team 44 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: did a great job. You know, they just wanted to 45 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: check on some things and so forth, and you know, 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: very thankful for an entire medical team that we have here. 47 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, feeling good, you know, happy to be out 48 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: there and back with the guys. Does it feel like 49 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: a true competition or does it feel like it's Cam's 50 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: job right now? I definitely think, you know, it's always 51 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: a competition, you know. That's why I always look at it. 52 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: I look at it every day as you know, really 53 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: a competition obviously within the room, but also a competition 54 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 1: you know, for myself against myself, you know, because I've 55 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: always looked at it as every day I want to 56 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: go out there and get better at something and trying 57 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: not to make the same mistake I made yesterday or 58 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: the day before or so on and so forth. So 59 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: for me, it's always looked at as a competition, whether 60 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: you're you know, playing behind Tom Brady every single day 61 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: like I was last year, but playing alongside you know, 62 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: Cam and Holy this year, whatever it may be. Um, 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: that's just kind of how I've always looked at it. Jared, 64 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: what was your reaction when they signed Cam? No, I 65 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: was actually really excited for the for the opportunity to 66 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: compete against them. Obviously Cam and I have had a 67 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: previous relationship, um new to Auburn and so forth. But um, 68 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: you know, just to have another you know, quality guy 69 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: like like himself, you know in the room. Obviously I 70 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: knew Hoy previously because the last year and whatnot. But 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: having you know, Cam come in the room, He's obviously 72 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: got a ton of experience, has played a ton of 73 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: great football, uh in his career, and uh a great guy. 74 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: So just to add him into the mix, what was great? 75 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: And I think you know, at the end of the day, competition, 76 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, brings out the best in everybody, and I 77 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: think overall it was it was really good. What's the 78 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: challenge of not having the preseason games, not even having 79 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: joint practices because most years when you see a quarterback battle, 80 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: you get the opportunity to actually play real games and 81 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: play a different opponent. But obviously not the case this year. Yeah, 82 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: it's definitely different. You know, we don't have you know, 83 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: four games. They kind of go through things and you know, 84 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: game plan for for different teams and so on and 85 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: socialth but you know, at the end of the day, 86 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: every practice is going to be different for us, whether 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: we're working on this thing or that thing, whatever they 88 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: be everything, they would be different. So you know, it 89 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: brings every day brings a new challenge and you know, 90 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: seeing how we can deal with those challenges. And that's 91 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: what I say, Um, you know, it's it's definitely a 92 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: lot of fun. So Jared, last year you got to 93 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: spend the season behind Um as a quarterback. He was 94 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: all right, Tom Brady, you know, you know, he's he's 95 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: he's he was okay, Um, he's moved on. It still 96 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: hurts to see him elsewhere. But now you're obviously playing 97 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: alongside Cam Newton. Uh, what would you say was the 98 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: biggest thing you took away from or what were the 99 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: biggest things you took away from Tom? And how how 100 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: is playing under Tom and then playing alongside and competing 101 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: with Cam different. I think there's a there's a lot 102 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: of things to take away from from Tom. I think 103 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: the number one thing, or I'd said probably the two 104 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: biggest things that I kind of just noticed from him, 105 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, playing with him last year was you know, 106 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: just his the way he prepares. Um. You know, he 107 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: he's seen everything, He's you know, heard everything, imaginable in 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: the game of football. So he just the way that 109 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: he prepares, the way that he knows defenses, um, the 110 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: way he knows coordinators like whatever it may be. He 111 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: was just always on top of those types of things. 112 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: And then the second thing was just how competitive he is. 113 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: You know, he's now he's you know, forty forty three, um, 114 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: And I mean you would think that it was his 115 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, first couple of years in the league. You know, 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: just the way he gets after it every day and 117 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: the way he demands you know, everybody around him to 118 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: bring up their level of play and so forth. I mean, 119 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty fascinating to watch, just coming from a 120 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: guy that you know, has you know, done everything in 121 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: the league, has won everything, and has all these accolades 122 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: and whatnot, which is how how driven he still is 123 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: to be perfect every single day at practice and obviously 124 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: in the games and so forth and win as much 125 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: as possible. It's it's pretty cool to see. I know, 126 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: a lot of athletes are pretty committed to their daily routines. 127 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: Is there anything specific that you do that structured leading 128 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: up to practices or game days to get yourself ready 129 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: or do you operate more on the fly. No, I 130 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: definitely have my routine, you know, I definitely you know, 131 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: wake up at the same time every morning, get into 132 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: the same time every morning, kind of go through my 133 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: treatment process before meetings that we have ready, and you know, 134 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: throughout the day, I kind of have my my routine. 135 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: I get my afternoon cock you know, whatever they be. 136 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty pretty set on schedule. Um, you know around here. 137 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: So a very important sports related question obviously, how do 138 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: you take your coffee? Oh, we actually have a We 139 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: actually have a cold brew here that I that I enjoy, 140 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: So I usually hit hit that up in the afternoon. 141 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: Very good. Uh. What have you seen out of nikkil 142 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: Harry so far in camp? No, I mean kill has 143 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: been He's been great. You know, he's worked really hard 144 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: this offseason and um, you know, I'm not going to 145 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: speak for him, but um, you know, he's done, he's 146 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: done from his job, and um, you know, I think 147 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, he's excited. I know for one thing, and 148 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: I just from talking to him, I know he's excited 149 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: for for the second year and and that sort of thing. 150 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: But you know, he's he's a great player and in 151 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: a great person. So I'm really excited for him this year, Jared. 152 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: We've heard stories and seen videos with the limited coverage 153 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: that's come out of this unusual preseason that you know, 154 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: sometimes the receivers have surged and sometimes they've had some trouble. 155 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: Would you say this is an acclamation to maybe receiving 156 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: the ball from new guys like yourself or at least 157 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: someone who's in a second year in cam Newton, or 158 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: would you say that this is a product of the 159 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: Patriots secondary and how tough is it to go up 160 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: against them and practice on a daily basis. Well, to 161 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: answer the first part that you had mentioned, Uh, you know, 162 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: I definitely think whenever you get you know, new quarterbacks, 163 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: new receivers, you know, around each other, you know that 164 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: chemistry and that timing. You know it takes time and 165 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: so you know it's not going to be you know, 166 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: perfect overnight, but you know, as as time goes on, 167 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: you want to try and build that foundation of like 168 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: I said, the chemistry and whatnot. And you know, on 169 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the flip side, you know with our you know secondary, 170 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean our secondary and as you know, extremely good 171 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: on the football field. So um, you know, at the 172 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: end of the day, like going up against those guys 173 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: day and in day out, rep after rep and practice. Uh, 174 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: it not only makes our receivers better, it makes you 175 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: know the quarterbacks better, and you know, it certainly makes 176 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: a defense better and that sort of thing. So, um, 177 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: it's very challenging, but it's also it's also a lot 178 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: of fun. And you know, I think it brings out 179 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: the best of everybody. We've heard the story about you know, 180 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: where you were and what you thought of when the 181 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: team first signed Cam Newton, but even prior to that, 182 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: early on in the offseason, Tom Brady leaves and goes 183 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: to Tampa. How did you find out about that? And 184 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: what was your your first reaction? Oh yeah, I pretty 185 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: much found out what the rest of the world, you know, 186 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: through through social media, uh, you know and through the 187 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: through the tickular on ESPN or whatever. I mean, that's 188 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: kind of how I found out. And um, I mean 189 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: obviously I didn't. I had no clue what was going 190 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: to happen, you know, one way or another. But you know, 191 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Tommy's a great friend, and um, he was a you know, 192 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: a huge mentor to me. Um last year, so you know, 193 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: I wish him nothing but the best moving forward. So 194 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: last year, this is now basically like this is basically 195 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: your second year working with Josh McDaniels and coach Belichick. Uh, 196 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: how has the playbook changed or has McDaniels altered things 197 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: a bit? Given that you know, you could you you 198 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: could move and obviously Cam Newton, who has been described 199 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: as a high energy guy, uh, can move as well. 200 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: Are we are we going to see a very different 201 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: Patriots offense this year? Are there some things that we 202 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: would never expect? Can you give us a little peek 203 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: behind the curtain what you guys are working on? Well, man, 204 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: I definitely think, Uh, you know, each team is different 205 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: in its own right. But you know, with Josh and 206 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: you know, Josh obviously been here a very long time, Um, 207 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: and you know we're taking things day by day and 208 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But um, you know, our our 209 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: offense is always going to have the same foundation. And 210 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, we we always try and do X, Y 211 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: and Z really really well. And that's kind of what 212 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: we've always um from what has been explained to me 213 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: obviously because I've been there, been here too long, but um, 214 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: we've always tried to do those things at a really 215 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: high level. And you know, each each week during the 216 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: season a different. You know, game planning is different and 217 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: so forth. So, um, you know, we're just taking kind 218 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: of things day by day. Right now, time enough for 219 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback question of the week. You mentioned earlier, Jarrett 220 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: that you and Cam had a relationship because of Auburn obviously, 221 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Now did you meet him while you were there? Did 222 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: you get to know Cam after the fact we actually met? 223 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: I want to say it with my last spring at Auburn, 224 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: we had like a spring practice and he was there watching, 225 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: and so him and I actually went to lunch afterwards, 226 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: and so that's when we kind of kind of started, 227 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: you know, talking a little bit back and forth, and 228 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, had a great lunch that day. And then 229 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, captain touch after that, So that was kind 230 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: of when it when it kind of started and has 231 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: carried into into now. And you know, he you know, 232 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: we actually each other up after he got signed and everything, 233 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: and um, so yeah, I mean that's kind of how 234 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: it kind of how it all got started. And I 235 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: know before Auburn you had your site set pretty heavily 236 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: on Texas A and M. Do you think things would 237 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: have gone any differently for you in your career, your 238 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: college path or professionally if you had gone there instead 239 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: of Auburn. Oh, man, I don't, I don't know. I mean, 240 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm certainly you know, happy with how everything has 241 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: turned out. And you know, I'm extremely happy to be 242 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: an alumni from from Auburn University. And uh, you know, 243 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: I hope when I had kids one day, I hope 244 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: they go to Auburn. I just I love in that place. 245 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: And um, you know, I think everything since then, as 246 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, worked out really well. And you know it's 247 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: you know, I have no regrets at the end of 248 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: the days, no regrets. All right. These have been a 249 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: lot of hard hitting football questions. Obviously, it's pretty early 250 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: in the morning to give you a big bright spotlight 251 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: like that. Obviously, Uh, I'm still not going to press 252 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: your feet to the fire over the walk up music question, 253 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: but uh, let's give you, let's give you a chance 254 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: to maybe just talk about Jared's did him the person? Uh, 255 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: how'd you spend your how'd you spend your quarantine? And 256 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: uh what'd you binge? What did you get into over 257 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: this time? What got you through it all? Aside from 258 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: obviously studying the playbook just in case Belichick's listening right now. Yeah, 259 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, my wife and I we tried 260 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: to have you know, some fun with it and figure 261 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: out ways to kind of keep ourselves entertained, and that 262 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: sort of thing just couldn't go anywhere obviously. And um, 263 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: so her and I actually done a lot of cooking 264 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: every night, which was fun. We never really cooked much before, 265 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: so it's kind of it was neat to kind of 266 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: learn some new different things in the kitchen. Um. And 267 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: then we actually always say it was in April, like 268 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: we mapped out the whole Marvel series movies night Hello. 269 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: We would watch Fantastic One Interesting all night, so you know, 270 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: it took pretty much entire fun. Yeah, it was. That 271 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: was a lot of fun too. Going back to the 272 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: food for a second, and you and your wife cooking, Um, 273 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: be honest, please, Jared stood him. You're not really that 274 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: big of a fan of cauliflower across the pizza, are you. 275 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the way she makes it. It's pretty 276 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: pretty freaking good. I'm not gonna lie. Danielle sounds like 277 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: a stalker. I don't know how else she would know. 278 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: He didn't bring up the cauliflower a cross pizza. No, 279 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: there's a social media rich and if you'd followed it, 280 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: you might find some of those who are you more nervous? 281 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: Who are you more nervous about? Jared? It's okay. We 282 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: always say that this is a safe space. Who are watching? 283 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: Who are you more nervous about? Listening right now? Belichick 284 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: or your wife? Oh? I don't know. What was your 285 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: favorite Marvel movie after you went through them all? Oh Man? 286 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's hard enough to say, you know, like 287 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: End Game or you know, one of the Avenger ones, 288 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: But actually I'm a kind of one you might not 289 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: think about. Was Aunt Man? I really like the Aunt Man. 290 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: I just watched the other night. It's very good. It 291 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: was awesome.

I mean it was it was really good. Uh? 299 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: You know this thing that I love. Um, you know, 300 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: something that the coach does with specifically the quarterbacks is 301 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: every Saturday, you know, we have a meeting with him 302 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: just kind of you know, just the quarterbacks and himself 303 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: Saturday morning and we kind of go through, you know, 304 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: just some tape from from that week, from the previous 305 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: game for the upcoming game, like whatever it may be. 306 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: And so that's that's kind of a time where we 307 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: get to you know, really just ask him questions ends 308 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: or get to talk to him on you know a 309 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: lot of different things, and you know we'll be in 310 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: there for a good while. So um, you know, that's 311 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: that's been something that I during last year, I used 312 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: to always look forward to those meetings because it's such 313 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: a good way to just to learn from, you know, 314 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: a guy that's you know, one of the best coaches, 315 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: if not the best coach to ever you know, coach 316 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: the game, and then you have Tom, who's you know, 317 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: arguably the best quarterback to play the game. I mean, 318 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: just to hear those two guys talk back and forth 319 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: and you know, talk about different things, and um, I 320 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: mean it was just it was just really cool to 321 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: see that every single week.
