Thank you, Thank you appreciate it. And I 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: know you said yesterday that you really should share it 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: with your brother because despite being a much better football 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: player than him, you said you're about equals as a person. Yeah, 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick to that. That's always that's always been 9 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: a part of your life though. The giving back, Yeah, 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: that's something I think we both uh kind of share 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: of kind of passed down from our mom and was 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: one of the things that she really said us once 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: we enter the league, Conda, that we should do everything together. 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: And it's been great for us, whether it's been foundation work, 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: just community service that going places together, it's been a 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: play for us. You guys have your foundation, correct. Yeah. 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: We have a tackle cell campaign that raises money and 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: awareness for the sickle cell disease. These are a website 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: that they people can go to, Yeah, tackle sickle cell 20 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: dot org as information on how to donate and upcoming events. 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Thanks for all your good work. We appreciate it. Appreciate 22 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: that on the field, Devin coming off maybe the best 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: defensive effort would you say for your team last week? 24 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 1: I would say it was an effort that we needed. 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: You know, I think we still walked away from that 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: game saying we had room to improve and some things 27 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: we need to work on. So this week's another chance 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: to kind of get out there and see if we 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: can put together, you know, a more complete game than 30 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: we did last week. We always talk about your defenses 31 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 1: in terms of getting better as a year goes along. 32 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: A couple good back to back efforts, you guys seeing 33 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: the same progress that we're seeing. Yeah, I think it's 34 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: been good from the standpoint of going out there, playing 35 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: in the game, coming back, breaking down the film saying 36 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: all right, you know, we didn't do this too well 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: in this game, or we didn't do this well. You know, 38 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: teams might attack us this way next week. And I 39 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: thought we've been doing a better job of kind of 40 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: knowing that an approaching the game with that mindset and 41 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: and proving it right away instead of, you know, we're 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: taking two weeks, three weeks. It's just too late in 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: the season for that, and it's tough to win on 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: the road at any time, but it seems particularly Miami 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: over the years, has been a really tough spot to 46 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: get a win. What makes it so difficult down there? 47 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: I think they're a good football team, you know. I 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: think when we go down there, obviously they know us well, 49 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: and you know, we haven't gotten off to good starts, 50 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: and they get going and there's just a tough environment, 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: you know. I think it's the same way really with 52 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: all our division games. You look at the Jet a 53 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, when we went to Buffalo earlier 54 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: in the season, there's just a dog by beginning the 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: inn and we've come up on the short end of 56 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: the sick the last couple of times we've been down there. 57 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: So we really talked about that of trying to get 58 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: off to a good start, playing from ahead, all those 59 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: things we kind of preach every week. We feel it's 60 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: really important for Sunday, you know, watching your defense the 61 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, it seems like there's been an 62 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: emphasis on, you know, get more guys to the to 63 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: the point of attack, getting more guys around the ball carriers. 64 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: That something you've seen in films or it's just something, 65 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: uh that I'm thinking, no, it has and I think 66 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: it showed up. Um just effort wise too, Like you 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: could watch a couple of plays Malcolm Brown from the 68 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: detacle position, turning, uh, making tackles on running backs, catching 69 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: checkdowns for five yards, just turning and going um. And 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: that's something we talked about. As you get late in 71 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: the year, you got to we all got to keep 72 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: our conditioning up and play hard. And you know, for 73 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: their game against Minnesota was just two tackles, but you 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: know that's where big play tap you come from behind, 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: guys don't see you calls fumble. So that's something we've 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: really kind of try to heighten and you know, have 77 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: everyone doing as we go late to the season. How 78 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: much can you guys look back at the Week four 79 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: game against Miami. Is there a lot of stuff the 80 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: same or was that just so long ago? Yeah? Some 81 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: SnO stuff, but uh, you know for us as similar 82 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: to last year. You know, we played them early in 83 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: the year, played well, then went down there on Monday 84 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: night and you could see that game didn't matter at all. 85 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: So um, you know, obviously you watch it from scheme 86 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: and all of that, but we realize it's gonna be 87 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: a totally different game than what we had early in 88 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: the season. Well, what is it? Because it's about Miami, 89 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: it's I know you've done play games there and early 90 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: in the season, late in the season. Is there anything 91 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: in particular they do scheme wise or is it just 92 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: a strange anomaly to what the Patriots have done over 93 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: the years? You know, I think they played really well. 94 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: Like you look at even this year. I think they're 95 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: like five and one at home. I think they do 96 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: a good job. I have great energy, get going early, 97 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: and then play from my head at home, and I 98 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: think that's something that they do a really good job of. 99 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think the same thing when people play 100 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: us here, you know, they say, you know, the team 101 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: does a good job playing at home, and I think 102 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: Miami is very similar to that. Sou It's tough for 103 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: everyone that goes there. And we play on Troy every 104 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: year or so you can see our record kind of 105 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: reflects that. We're talking with Devin mccordy, and you know, 106 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: it's been a week now since the cream Hunt video 107 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: came out, and when you see that, when that makes 108 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: its way around, what what are you thinking? To me? 109 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: It's just life, you know, I think we because we're 110 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: we're playing the NFL things trying to get you know, 111 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: more coverage and get talked about more. But those are 112 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: scenarios and things that happen in life and things that 113 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: you know, we have to deal with as a society. 114 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: Is obviously not a good thing, but you just hope 115 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: everyone involved kind of get the help they need to 116 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: move forward and kind of worry about I think the 117 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: people involved, not football jobs and all of that, but 118 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: just worry about every individual involved in that incident and 119 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: try to get them, you know, the appropriate help. Are 120 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: there programs within the NFLPA or within the the NFL, 121 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: and in particular within the Patriots itself to help guys 122 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: deal with different issues like that. Yeah, I think there's 123 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: resources everywhere. I think the hard thing is is for 124 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: all of us is sometimes men or people as a 125 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: kind of you know, set your private side and be 126 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: able to take advantage of those things to go talk 127 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: to someone and see what help is available. But um, 128 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: I think that's probably one of the brightest things of 129 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: being in this league. Between NFL and the PA, there's 130 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: always a lot of resources and different things to help 131 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: you out. Do you think when a player like that 132 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: be welcomed into your locker room after the fact. I'm 133 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: not saying those guys specifically, like Ruben Foster Cream Hunt, 134 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: but if there was you know, a video or or 135 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: or a track record of this, and then they were 136 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: given another chance, and the Patriots took that chance on them, 137 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: how would they be received. Only thing I say since 138 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: I've been here, as guy has been brought in the 139 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: locker room, is gonna well received. Guys have always opened 140 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: their arms and try to help every individual, whether it 141 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: be a drafted rookie, h free agent from another team, 142 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: even if it's a rival team like when Revis came 143 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: m That's never been an issue here. All right, he's 144 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: Patriots safety. H. Mccordy.
