Speaker 1: it was good. It's all good work. Also, you know,

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,240

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: it was good. Yeah. You know, obviously they played for

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: a while. Me being a linebacker, I've watched them growing

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: up and just the style of you know, the way

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: they use their linebackers here for the Patriots for a

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: long time. You know, I feel like fits my modes.

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: I've always watched them from Afar, even when I was

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: young growing up, even when I got to the league,

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: when I was with Cleveland, you know, always watched them.

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: Their style of play man, just so aggressive linebackers move around.

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: The versatility they have. So yeah, real, real familiar with

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: those guys. It's it's cool to be coached by high

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Tower or Great and learn from him, be a sponge

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: from him and even male you know, being a head coach.

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Excited for him too, for me just to come and

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: learn from these guys. Yes, yes, yes, yes. When when

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: I knew it was, uh, you know, the Patriots, I'm like,

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: I was excited just again, you know, going over how

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: they use their linebackers, the versatility of them on the edge.

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Then they're you know stack mike or will linebacker. You know,

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: the way they use their drops, their blitches from the middle,

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: from the outside. Like I said, I definitely am excited.

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I fit that mold, you know, since college,

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: and I'm just to be here man in the work,

36

Speaker 1: in the work and grindla. Right. Yeah, Mac did well

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: once he started playing man, just rushing off the edge,

39
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: getting those sacks, him being able to cover. Yeah, like

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: I said, the versatility of him, it paid off for him.

41
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: I played with him with Cleveland, you know, we both

42
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: got drafted to Cleveland. So again, man, I've always watched

Speaker 1: was gonna like, uh, you know what they do here.

69
00:03:52,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: So just just just exciting times. I would say this

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of couple of years, but just last year,

71
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just watching them. You know,

72
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: we're starting, you know, just from the basics, you know,

73
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: the learning progress of it all, just so I can

74
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: grasp everything. We're making sure we don't miss anything so

75
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: we don't want to dive too deep in and then

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: you know we miss all the key pointers there. So yeah,

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: we've been watching a lot of last year's tape, learning

78
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: from them, and even like you know, we're thrown some

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: tape of of them a couple of years ago when

80
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: when Hoteler's playing. But it's been it's been you know,

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: it's only been a few days, but it's been awesome

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: to be uh, learning from High Tower and being just

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: being a sponge, you know. You know, first it just

84
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: starts off with everyone doing their job, you know, doing

85
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: their one eleventh. That's always been like the Patriot's mantra here,

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, everyone has a job. We're

87
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: not going to have anybody just out there doing their

88
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, being undisciplined, So discipline football

89
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: and then we can go from there with making plays.

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's been a success for the

91
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Patriots defense for the last you know, fifteen years for

92
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: looking deeply into it. When you were drafted in Cleveland,

93
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: Elliot Wolf was there. Said it to surprise you that

94
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots called within the charge here. Yeah, no, he had.

95
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: Elliott brought me to Cleveland, so you know when I

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: got the car and I was like, let's let's do it. Man.

97
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, he's familiar with me. I'm familiar with him obviously.

98
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Like I said, he brought me to Cleveland and he's

99
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: bringing me to New England match. I just want to

100
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: go out there and work hard to prove these guys right,

101
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, bringing me in giving me a chance. Yeah,

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: he just he knows football really well. Obviously in that

103
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: position you have to. He's done it, you know, from

104
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: the ground up, you know, at his business and worked

105
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: up and so really smart guy knows what he's doing

106
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: real strategic So you know, those are just some of

107
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: the things. But you know, when you when you're in

108
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: that position, man, you've really got to know your stuff.

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, don't don't want to. I don't

110
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: have an example in my head right now, but I

111
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: feel like just the way they're building up the roster,

112
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I feel like you guys

113
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: have been I know you guys have been watching. You

114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: guys want splashes, splashes, but I feel like taking care

115
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: of his guys in the building first and then and

116
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: then as as we go on into the draft. When

117
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: you were drafting, when he mentioned how your game against

118
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Wisconsin really stood out, what do you remember about that game?

119
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: And more than that, how do you feel like you've

120
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: grown as some players? Yeah? Yeah, okay, thinking back on

121
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: that Wisconsin game again, you know just how it was

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: used at BUYU. I'm on the edge a lot, I'm

123
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: at my linebacker, you know, I'm at the wheel. You know.

124
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: I feel like that really stood out to him, just

125
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: being real versatile and versatile and what they do here.

126
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: Knowing that you know, as a linebacker, you know you're

127
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: going to be in these positions, all of them and

128
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: you got to you got to do well there. And

129
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: so just having that trade, I feel like, you know,

130
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: really is what stood out to him in the Wisconsin.

131
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: And then and then you got to make plays. You know,

132
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: you can be out there, but definitely you got to

133
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: make plays when you're out there. And I feel like

134
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I may I made some plays

135
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: that game that really stood out. So just just excited. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

136
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: I went back to sixteen. I was, you know, I

137
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: had the high high school number, and then in college,

138
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, I was sixteen at BYU. So you know,

139
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: when I came here and I seen it was up

140
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: for grabs, you know, I'm like, you know, is it

141
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: cool if I could be number sixteen? You know, sometimes

142
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, linebackers are usually you know, forties fifties,

143
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: and so they didn't want to come off like this

144
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: guy's a pretty boy, you know what I'm saying. But

145
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, if it's up for grabs, let me know.

146
00:07:49,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'd love the rocket. Yeah it is new.

147
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: I know some guys who don't like it, but I

148
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a fan of it. You know, being

149
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: up there is kind of like a one on one battle.

150
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: It's like a past rush, you know what I mean.

151
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're gonna, you know, have the

152
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: blocking schemes yet, but as we meet for it, I'll

153
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: see kind of have a brighter thought on it. But

154
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: I like it, you know what I mean. I think

155
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's different, but I think I think it'll

156
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: be exciting. Yeah. I knew those you know, both of

157
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: those guys real versatile. Like I said, they have those

158
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: traits of being a line of a Patriots linebacker and

159
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: have made plays over the years. But yeah, just learning

160
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: from these guys. Good leadership, smart guys in the room.

161
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: So definitely helping me break down the tape, the language

162
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: of it all. You know, that's you know, when you

163
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: go to a new team, it's really like the language

164
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: of it all, you know, kind of understand and then uh,

165
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: you know this was called that this at Cleveland and

166
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: just trying to get that terminology down. So those guys, man,

167
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: have have made plays leaders and uh uh and good uh,

168
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: good good players in the locker room man. So uh

169
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: and and it's crazy I trained with Jilani back in

170
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: the combine. Uh, so you know I knew Jilani obviously

171
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: he's Polynesian. I'm Polynesian, so you know you always kind

172
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: of keep you know, tabs on all the Polynesian guys

173
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Love everybody, but you know how you

174
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean, it's such a uh you know,

175
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: small coach or so. Yeah, I knew that. I knew

176
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: I knew them from just watching tape and ball. Yeah,

177
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: all the guys, to be honest, like, not not really

178
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: one guy that I'm like, hey, I want you don't

179
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: want to meet him. I was just excited to come

180
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: in here and just gain their trust, you know what

181
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm a new guy coming to a new team.

182
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: I just want to put in the work, do it

183
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: the right way, you know, gain these guys, just trust,

184
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: some respect, and uh there's only one way to do it,

185
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: and that's just put it in the work. Yeah, just

186
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: just uh yeah, I was at a v p TC.

187
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: All those guys my dudes. So it's exciting that it's

188
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: good to have, you know, familiar faces. So it was

189
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: exciting to see those guys when I got here. Uh

190
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, just you know in practice state the marriage

191
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: of the run pass, you know, just how they do it,

192
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, build up that run game. Have a good

193
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: running game, and then it opens up the past with

194
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: shots down the field, lots of play actions, and then

195
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: you can kind of spread it out, you know what

196
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I feel like the run game though, really

197
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: stands out when you're talking about a v P. You know,

198
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: you chubb over there, good offensive line and just there's

199
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: ou of running you know what I'm saying, a lot

200
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: of zone concepts and then hitting the down line, stretch concepts,

201
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: hitting it down line. So you know, I'm familiar with them,

202
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: so it'd be exciting to kind of see it in

203
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: training camp and OTA's as we kind of build up

204
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: and not too much competing right early on right now,

205
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: but just kind of you know, getting it down. But yeah,

206
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: a good marriage of running game a running past. So

207
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: what's he like? Yeah, no, you know, these last few

208
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: days we've had meetings and just to be in there

209
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: and be, like I said, be a sponge to him.

210
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: You know with high tower man, he's played the game

211
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: at such a high level, Pro Bowl, All Pro and

212
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: he's done it for a long time of being you know,

213
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: a good great player, and so just to see how

214
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: smart he is in the classroom, just understand, you know

215
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: what I mean when he breaks down tape, he knows

216
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: he's been in that position as a player, so he

217
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: can really relate, you know what I mean, from from

218
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: the sideline to on the field and as players learning, that's, uh,

219
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: it's really good for us because you know, he knows,

220
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, if he sees a play, he's like, I

221
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: see what you're seeing right here. I understand. And so

222
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: it definitely makes it, like, you know, really good for

223
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: players learning from him, just because he's been in those positions. Yeah,

224
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: and a good leader. You know, he knows how to

225
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: relate to the guys. He's been in the locker room.

226
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: He could joke with us. But also you know, when

227
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: it's time to work, it's time to work. So Linda say, yeah, no,

228
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: it's it like I said, man linebackers, I feel like

229
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: there's yeah, there's a high tower Mayo. But mao again,

230
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: man another linebacker who's done it at a high level,

231
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: All Pro, Pro Bowl, like these guys. You know, it's

232
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: not just you know anybody, These guys have played at

233
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: a high level, and he just understands the guys. Again,

234
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: I can kind of relate it to high tower, you know.

235
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: So when he's talking to us, you know, he understands,

236
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, the grind in and out, you know what

237
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean, from the field to the classroom, and so

238
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: he could kind of relate to us from that standpoint.

239
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: And I'm just happy to be here, man, and and uh,

240
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, I know it's you know, it's new times here,

241
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm new but you know, just from

242
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, Man, exciting, really really exciting. Man.

243
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: You guys should be pumped because I am. Yeah. Twenty one, man,

244
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: we we got beat up. Man. Those guys was running

245
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: the ball really well and then you know they were

246
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: able to again just kind of that marriage of the

247
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: running pass. You know, they were running the ball so

248
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: well that when they did pass or did some play action,

249
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: it was kind of like dang, and we were kind

250
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: of at a gap out of our gaps or you know,

251
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: chase into a flat for you know, a guy running

252
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: too the flat. So they really got after us that

253
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: that uh, that game special teams we did okay, but

254
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: they got after us on defense and then twenty two

255
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: they came over there and uh, we were able to

256
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: get it back. But it was a good game all

257
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: the way down to then what it was. It was close.

258
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: Henry almost caught a touchdown on me, but I knocked

259
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: him out. They put the hat on the ground in

260
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: the corner. I was able to push them out. But yeah,

261
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: a good physical game. Again they came out running the ball,

262
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: but we were able to hold them and got that

263
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: w Yeah. I wasn't really at the time watching. Man.

264
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: You know, we're breaking down our stuff, you know when

265
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: I was over there. But again, you know they're they're fronts,

266
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: especially because you know Cleveland runs. You know, they run

267
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: the ball, so I know when they came over there, man,

268
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: they really stacked the box and it was really knocking

269
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: out the run. It was. It was a good game

270
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: from that. You know, Patriots always top five and stopping

271
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: and run, so Cleveland always from the ball, you know

272
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's all they started up. But yeah,

273
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: recent essentially out there, how lost? What would that that

274
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna put in the work, you know what I mean.

275
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be any shortcuts. So you know, we

276
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: we know what happened last year, but this is a

277
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: new year. Every year is a different year, and so

278
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: we're starting from you know, ground zero, and we're building

279
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: up the foundation really strong right now in OTA's working

280
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: hard in the classroom and on the field. So I

281
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: just wanna tell the fans you know you're gonna you're

282
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get all from us because you know we're

283
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: putting in the work, doing it right. Appreciate you guys.

284
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Alrighty
