1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hey, Devin, congrats on the way man. Um. I know

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: I started with this question before a couple of losses,

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: but how does this feeling feel now? You know, to

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: kind of get back in the win comm and it

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: finished the way you wanted. Yeah, it's a good way

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: to end the season. Obviously not the way we wanted

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: to go, and we've known that for the last two weeks.

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: And I think it's good for the team moving forward.

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: You know. I think you talk about character and building

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: all these things that the Patriots are built on. It's

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: a lot easier to do that when you have all

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: the ten win seasons, you're in the playoffs every year. Um.

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: I think it showed a lot for these guys, and

14
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: I think it'll mean a lot going forward for a

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: lot of these young guys. Hopefully they have extended careers. Um,

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: they'll always remember, you know, this year, what we went through,

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: what the country went through, and what it took to

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: go out there each day to just keep fighting. So UM,

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: I think it was great. You know, I was proud

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: to be a part of this team today, to go

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: out there to leadership from guys, the young guys stepping up.

22
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: A lot of guys played today and I think everyone

23
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: was honored and ready to go. J C mentioned to

24
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: us earlier that your message before the game really resonated

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: with them, and you always give a good message, but

26
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: he just said it hit home. What can you share

27
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: about that message? I was simple. I think everywhere you

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: look this week, the game didn't matter. It was meaningless.

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I just told guys to think about

30
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: their journey. You know, to have an opportunity to play

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: here last game of the year. You know you're not

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,919
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. But at some point of your journey,

33
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: you've been doubted, You got hurt. A certain school told

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: you that they didn't want you. A team release you,

35
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: a team traded you, a team told you wasn't good

36
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: enough to play. Like at some point, if someone asked

37
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: you what you take an opportunity to play in the

38
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: last game of the season with no chance of the playoffs,

39
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: we all would take it and give it everything we got.

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: And I told guys to think about that today. If

41
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: someone told you this your last ever game to play,

42
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: what would you do? And I was proud of the

43
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: way guys responded. But I think guys knew that coming in.

44
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: I think guys already had the right mentality. I'm very

45
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: fortunate and blessed to give this team different talks and

46
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: to be a leader on this team because it's a

47
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: lot easier to lead a bunch of guys that you know,

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: don't need much direction, who are ready to go and

49
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: hungry to learn. I've been very fortunate over the years

50
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: I've been here to lead the group. Thanks, Devin, happen

51
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: to remember same to you. Mixed up Dan Roach then

52
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Leving read Hi, Devin. No, it's just a simple question.

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: You know, you've talked a lot this season about how

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: it's not always you know, way too much blame is

55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: put on the quarterback. How happy were you to be

56
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: able to see what Cam Newton was able to do

57
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: with that offense today also have a touchdown reception. How

58
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: much fun was that to kind of share together as

59
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: a team with what he went through in his journey,

60
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: coming in late and everything else and trying to get

61
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: you know, get acquainted and basically try to replace Tom

62
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Brady as well at quarterback this season. That was awesome.

63
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: And you know, I think so much talk of you know,

64
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: not playing him from the media and all of that,

65
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: and I think the way he's worked this year. He

66
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: came into a group of guys that there's always so

67
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: much that when you're on the outside looking and that

68
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: you hear and you don't know. And he's come in

69
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: and he's just been himself. We've accepted him, he's accepted us.

70
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: So to see him be able to finish the season

71
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: this way in our offense, and guys like Sony who's

72
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: gone through a lot this year with being injured and

73
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: then on the COVID list, to see the way he

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: played this year, to see the way I SISI played

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: out there. To have a big, a big first down

76
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: catch than us first touchdown catch out, I think that

77
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: shows the strides that this team is made and you

78
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: know now to turn into all about the future, but

79
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: making no doubt about it. Cam's been a leader of

80
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: that group. He's been a captain, he's been offensive leader

81
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: day in and day out. And I was happy, you know,

82
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: not only for his play but the success of the

83
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: whole offense that he leads. I was just happy for

84
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: him because I know he cares a lot about that.

85
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't just care about how he plays as an individual,

86
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: but leading a group and a group playing well, he

87
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: takes a lot of that on his shoulders. And you know,

88
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: I've been very fortunately happy the way this year worked

89
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: out to get to know him. I'm going to get

90
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: to see his work ethic in person and all the

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: things that he brings to the team. So it's been

92
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: awesome just to be around him. Happy to yours into you,

93
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: Levin Read and Chris Ryan, he didn happy New Year,

94
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: my friend, I knew you eleven. I asked this, I'm good.

95
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Ask this leader the Matthew Slader also and you talked

96
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: about journey, and he talks about journey. I guess the

97
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: question is do you want to be part of this

98
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: the journey of this team in the coming year and

99
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: the next year? And because you know there's gonna be

100
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: changes made. You always talk about changes being made with

101
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: the team when it doesn't go they want to where

102
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: they wanted to go. Do you want to be part

103
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: of the next set of changes for the Patriots? Yeah?

104
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm under contract for next year. And um, I think

105
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: I said it maybe a week or two ago. You know, Uh,

106
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: this isout without conversations with my wife, but I plan

107
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: on playing next year. I think she'll fully support that. So, UM,

108
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I hope I'm here, and I hope I can continue

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: to try to lead this group, um and be around

110
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: these guys and hope for a better you know, twenty

111
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: twenty one. But I thought Slate says something great even

112
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: to the game for us to take time to think

113
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: about twenty twenty and what has taught us, what we've

114
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: gone through, the good, the bad, and most importantly to

115
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: grow from it and not to not just say, man,

116
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm happy it's over and let's move forward, but to

117
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: actually take the lessons you learn, and UM, I hope

118
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: those lessons that I've learned from twenty and twenty I

119
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: can take forward and be an even better leader, be

120
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: a even better player, better man, and hopefully ultimately, you know,

121
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: we all do that as individuals and have a better

122
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: outcome next year. UM. But you know, like you said,

123
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that will be done in

124
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: the offseason for this team and however it works out.

125
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, I've been extremely blessed to be a part

126
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: of this organization, and UM, I take a lot of

127
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: pride and being here and being with these these group

128
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: of men, um day in and day out. So no

129
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: matter what, I've been very fortunate to be a New

130
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: England Patriot in real question, I think you know the

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: snow game means here in New England, and I know

132
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: what it is like covering a snow game in New England.

133
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: How engine you missed the fans this year? Just the

134
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: snow down and everything. Yeah, And I think this area

135
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: is a lot like this team. You know, it didn't

136
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: go well, but from social media, people reaching out and

137
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: still supporting, And I felt like this would have been

138
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: one of those games where you know, as much as

139
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: we wanted more, um, the fans would have been happy

140
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: with the effort and the character of this team. Because

141
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: I feel like, truly that as the character of this area.

142
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Whether you're in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, from

143
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: my any any of these states, Connecticut, Like when you're

144
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: in the New England area, you know, that's what you get.

145
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: You get hard news, hard working people. It doesn't always

146
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: go the way that everyone wants, but I think one

147
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: thing you know is is going to be a constant fighting.

148
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: You see that with every you know, show or movie

149
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: based in Boston. Um, it's all about fighters. So you know,

150
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: I think we definitely missed the fans today, um, just

151
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: to send this team off the right way, to send

152
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: some of these guys that won't be back in Patriot

153
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: uniforms off the right way. You know, I think, you

154
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: know I missed that. Just having that and seeing that, Um,

155
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: it's just a sad way for the season to end,

156
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: just with no one there. They had two final questions,

157
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Chris Ryan and Bob stoci Hey dev it seemed like

158
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: the way you guys responded down fourteen seven with Cams

159
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: drive and then defense after that JC Jackson interception kind

160
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: of epitomized what you're talking about right there, and what

161
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: was the feeling you know, in that moment, and what

162
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: did it mean to you to see, you know, the

163
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: response given what you talked about, with the nature of

164
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: the game, your pregame speech, to to see the team

165
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: respond like that down fourteen seven. I think all throughout

166
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: the game, guys were just having fun. It was let's

167
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: let's just go out there and play. Um nothing waiver.

168
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't we didn't worry about anything. Um.

169
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: I would even go out and say, you know, we

170
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: wanted to win, but it wasn't just about winning or losing.

171
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: It was just having fun one last time with this

172
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: group of men, and I think everyone had that mentality

173
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: of like, let me do what's best for the guy

174
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: next to me. I think you saw that all throughout

175
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: the game. Even on Jac's interception, I try to jump

176
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: the route, there was somebody else there on the outside,

177
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: ball gets overthrown. Jac ends up with a pick and

178
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Jay Jones ends up with an interception. Because Jac gets

179
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: picked and John comes off, he sees that he intercepts

180
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: a ball thrown to Jac's man. And that's what it's about.

181
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: And I think this team continued to fight, whether we

182
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: were up seven, early, down seven, got the lead, it

183
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: was all about just continuing to play. And I think

184
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: that showed up with us getting an interception by Jay

185
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Jones and then the offense finishing out and then having

186
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: one last play. I think that's what That's the way

187
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: we wanted to end it, and I'm proud of you

188
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: know we got to do it that way. And also,

189
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: is there a sense that this team is heading for

190
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: a significant turnover in regards to the roster You mentioned

191
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: you wanted to be a part of it, but was

192
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: that a team today as well where a lot of

193
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: these guys may not be a part of this team

194
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: next year and that feeling kind of permeating through the

195
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: locker room. Yeah, I mean, I think that was a

196
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: feeling for the last couple of weeks. Ye think everyone

197
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: knew that, and you know, I think being a veteran,

198
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: you don't let that affect you. That means you need

199
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: to put your best foot forward each time you go

200
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: out there. And I think that's what we try to

201
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: preach to every guy in this locker room. But I

202
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: think no matter what team is doing well, team is

203
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: not doing well. When he gets over the end of

204
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: the season, it's the realization of next year it won't

205
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: be the same. And obviously it's even more when you

206
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs and you don't have a good season.

207
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: And I think for each guy that means you know,

208
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: that means a lot when you know you got one

209
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: more game left with a group of guys and you

210
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: call it. You know, if you're an offensive linement, it's

211
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: with that group of men that you go to battle with,

212
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: if you're in the secondary, you know, if you're the

213
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: skill position on offense or the d line. Like, there's

214
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: just unique bonds and relationships within this locker room. I

215
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: think it means a lot when guys say that, you know,

216
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: it's my last game with this guy or that guy,

217
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: that means a lot to guys. And I think, you know,

218
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: it's good to go out there with it on your mind,

219
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: but it's it's good to realize that means you need

220
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: to give all you got. Thanks Devin. Last question to

221
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: Bob Souci, and then we'll have Devin up next. All right,

222
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael Devin. Happy New Year. Same to you, Bob.

223
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. You talked about the joy, the fun you

224
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: guys had out there playing this game in a season

225
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: like this. How where has that been for you? And

226
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: even in the most successful times, I've heard a lot

227
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: of guys say, it's really hard to play here given

228
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: the expectations and so forth. And how important was it

229
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: to have joy and and and remember that feeling before

230
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: you close this? You know, it was everything? Um. I

231
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: think that's what twenty twenty meant for. You know, I

232
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: think a lot of people it was fine and joy,

233
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: um and the things that you don't that you take

234
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: for granted sometimes, And um, I think for us. You know,

235
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: if you told me back in March that we were

236
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: going to play sixteen games, I would have told you

237
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: you're a little crazy. So the opportunity to do that,

238
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity for guys to play through different losses, different adversities,

239
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the opportunity to play through big, big levels of success

240
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: when we went out there and beat Baltimore on a

241
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Sunday night or go play the Chargers. To get through

242
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: all of those things, ups and downs, I think it

243
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: meant a lot to take the field today and at

244
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: one last time for the twenty twenty season, and to

245
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: start off the year right. It meant a lot because

246
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: I think no matter how you felt what went wrong

247
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: this year, you had things that you can count as blessings.

248
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: And I think those are the things that you need

249
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: to hold type and really show value in. And I

250
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: think for us as individuals that will look different in

251
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: each person's life depending on what you went through. But

252
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: as a team, the bonds that we were able to make,

253
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: some of the contributions we were able to do off

254
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: the field a year that for me, I was so

255
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: proud to be a part of hosting Monday social justice

256
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: kind of events where we're getting to learn about what's

257
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: going on, guys asking questions, guys learning new things, like

258
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: there's so much to be grateful for and proud of

259
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: what the two season. Um. Now it's all about continue

260
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: those things in the twenty one and most importantly bringing

261
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: some more dubs, more ws to the end of a

262
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: season and getting back to the playoffs and doing those

263
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: great things. Um. I don't want that to get lost.

264
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: That's obviously a part of the plan. But some things

265
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: we're able to accomplish this year. Um in a hard year,

266
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: I think ment a lot and ment a lot to

267
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: the community. So I'm definitely proud of those things. Well

268
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: being in a lot of those lives very quickly. I mean,

269
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: if you organize your thoughts and you're you're you're planning

270
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: for the coming weeks and months, what's next down and

271
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: off the field for you, Well, I'll sit and try

272
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: to figure that out. You know, so much goes into

273
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: football and trying to do those things, and um, now

274
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: with sometime just figuring out, I know, the first thing

275
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is just spend some time with the family,

276
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: trying to see if there's a chance that we can

277
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: get a little vacation for the wife who's done a

278
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: lot for me to be able to play this year,

279
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: and trying to get her some relaxing time, so that

280
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: definitely be uh something I start off with, and then

281
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: figuring out what twenty twenty one looks like and where

282
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: I see myself, you know, fitting in and doing off

283
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: the field
