1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I like we're looking well, looking strong, ready to go.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: So game one coming fast.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 2: You've been excited since day one? What's kept that excitement

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: going and it seems like it's building.

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: I think just how we're gelling as a group. I

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: feel like Mac is in a great place as as

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: the leader, and uh, you know, I think that trickles

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: to the whole team. So I'm believing in him and

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: and believing in each other, and I think we're going

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: to the game with a lot of confidence. I think

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: we're doing good. I think we all we are. There's

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: always room to grow and that's and that's how you know,

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: we need to think every day not thinking we're there,

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: not thinking where somebody we're not, but just growing every day,

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: practicing and uh, evaluating ourselves every day honestly. And I

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: think we're in a great place, but always can get

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: better and need that mindset of how we can be

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: great instead of just good.

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: Your excitement has been obvious on camp. You're always smiling

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: year to year. How much of that is just because

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: of the offense that Bill O'Brien has brought.

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: And what you guys, Yeah, I think scheme is a

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: big part of you know, players how we feel, what

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: we want to see and how it can make us

25
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: be better players. We always want to improve, Like I

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: just said, we want to be better as a group

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: every day, and I think we're in that place of

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: knowing we're improving every day. You know, that feels good

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: to come to work every day and getting better and

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: that and that makes you want to come back again

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: and see where we can improve even more, strengthen our weaknesses.

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: And I think we're doing that every day hours. Like

33
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, guys coming and going from the roster, the

34
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: RUSS like that. As a player, what's it like for you?

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: It's just tough man. You know, people are working hard

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: every day. You know, you see people through camp going

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: their hardest and then you know get bad news even

38
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: when they had a good camp or the numbers game,

39
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: and something I've never experienced personally, thank god. But just

40
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: encouraging those guys, you know when they come back around

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: in the locker room, just saying you know, you're a

42
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: part of the team. You know, work hard, keep doing

43
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: what you do. You never know, people go down every day,

44
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: injuries and different scenarios you never know, so always being

45
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: ready to which you motivate them and keeping them in

46
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: a good place in their minds of you getting traded.

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: And the team. How does that make? You know?

48
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate Bill. You know, Bill stuck with me. I

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: had to. I struggled last year personally, and you know,

50
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: he's he's always pushed me in and to be better.

51
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Like I just said, it's always about getting better. And

52
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: I feel like Bill encourages me every day, you know

53
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: what I can get better on. I appreciate that personally

54
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: because he could have just been like, you know whatever,

55
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: But he's always pushed me in and and this year

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: I want to, you know, go my hardest I've ever gone,

57
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: and it feels good. You know what we wanted. But

58
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be here and this is where I'm

59
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be. And that's that's what's happening.

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: There's always a lot of conversation about the chemistry between

61
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: a quarterback and wide receiver. Tell me about the chemistry

62
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: working with some of these guys.

63
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: It's good, It's good. Juju is a great asset. Man.

64
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: It's my favorite player, you know what I mean. Now,

65
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Kim came in and with a great mindset. DP has

66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: a great mindset, and I think we're going to be

67
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: a group that is going to shock a lot of people.

68
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: And I think it's good to be the underdogs. So

69
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: that's how they're treating us. So that's right, kind of

70
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: same thing. Just keep working, man, you know, being getting

71
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: being where's supposed to be. I'm not sure how that's going,

72
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: but I'm just motivating them is to stay ready.

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Did you think yesterday you might have to warm up

74
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: the arm and play some quarterback?

75
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: I've thrown a little bit, but one time. But we'll see, man,

76
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: we'll see. Coaches got a plan.

77
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: We're on the outside looking in, like strange you have

78
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: one quarterback to running backs two tight ends at one point.

79
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: How strange was that? Or you just like, hey, it's

80
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: it's the NFL's a business.

81
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a business for sure. That that's pretty much it.

82
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what goes on behind the doors.

83
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: I just you know, play for whoever's out there, and

84
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: that's that's the biggest thing. Doing my job to help

85
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: that job, you know, and whatever it needs to be.

86
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: So not sure, but it's believing it at right now,

87
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: this is where we're at. And then that's you know,

88
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: that's what I'm on.

89
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: You're going to have to come down for the opener

90
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: because of Brady, the crowd and just how much you're

91
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: dying to get out there and have some fun.

92
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, it's going to be exciting game. I know

93
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be be crazy, but just you know,

94
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: chilling the nerves. Butterflies are good. But just being ready, man,

95
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: is the big thing obviously out there to their practice,

96
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: I feel like a normal practice or did anything change

97
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: around now being in a different status. No, it feels normal,

98
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: feels the same, you know, and treating it that way,

99
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, not making it awkward, nothing

100
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: like that. It's you need to be ready. You never

101
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen, so just making them be ready.

102
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: It was probably chaotic twenty four hours for Bailey. Did

103
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: you have a chance to talk to him at all?

104
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Just just tell him keep it up, you know, stay

105
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: working always, stay ready. Thank you, thank you,
