21
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: about the peaceful protesters, but you know, the periphery and

22
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: the violence and the and the vandalism that went on,

23
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,080

Speaker 1: happened after you did volunteer. UM, So we UM. Obviously

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: we knew what was going on, you know, around the

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: city and around the world. And you know what I mean,

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: my wife, we've been here for a couple of years

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: and you know, we embraced the city, you know, like

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: it's ours. I know we're not from here, but I

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: mean when you're when you're a Buffalo bill, when you're

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: a resident, it's just something about Buffalo that an extremely

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: blue collar and it's it's like a different it's a

36
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: different city that no one, you know, really can't experience.

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: It's just that people here are great, um, and it's

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: just you know, we we've seen what went on, and

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, we wanted to help. I mean, that's I

40
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: feel like the first thing that came to our mind

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: is like what can we do to be the better

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: in help? Like I know, there's a lot of bad

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: things going on, but what can we do to help?

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I was like, you know, if

45
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: anybody can can reach out to us, or and we

46
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: can meet up with somebody and and try to go

47
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: clean up and you know, just respond in a way

48
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: of like love and just appreciation for one another. And

49
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: we went outside and we walked around downtown. Um, my

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: wife's talked to a couple of people that she knows

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: around the city and she was telling us different areas

52
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: that were more to uh destructed than others and blah blah.

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: We live downtown Buhalo. So um by the time we

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: got out there, I mean everything was like extremely clean

55
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: and things were boarded up. Um. But you know, just

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: for this whole past week, we were our offers, selling

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the table if anybody needs help with anything, and if

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: anybody wants to talk about anything. You know, we're here

59
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: to help people and do the right thing. In the

60
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: n fell and the athlete that you are, you have

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: a bigger platform and a bigger voice than some people

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: are given. So with what's going on in our world

63
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: right now, with the platform that you have, what's your

64
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: reaction to what's been going on? And how can we

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: help in times like this, not just today, not just tomorrow,

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: how can we help forever? Well, you know, it's it's

67
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: interesting because you know, I'm a biracial kid. You know,

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: my mom's white, my dad's black. You know, I have

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of white family members, have a whole

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: bunch of black family members. And I never grew up,

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about what color was and how I

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: look at somebody towards you know, what color they are.

73
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: And you know, I just I was just saying, I mean,

74
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: life is just about people. It's not about color. You know,

75
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: we're all different, we all grew up with different backgrounds,

76
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, and it doesn't mean that we all have

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: to be argumenta theve against each other. And there are

78
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: a lot of peaceful protesters, and I stand for the peaceful,

79
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: peaceful protesters and fighting for human rights should be done,

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: like I said in my tweet last week, But there

81
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who are taking advantage of that.

82
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: And you know, there's also a lot of innocent people

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: who are losing their lives in these riots. And I mean,

84
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: I think their lives matter too. And um, you know,

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: my mom, she was a twenty year NYPD officer. She's

86
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: retired now. And you know, I have family members who

87
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: are who are cops. I got cousins who are cops.

88
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: I have my stepdad is a retired sergeant. So there

89
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: are great cops. There are great cops, and there are

90
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta take the deal with the bad

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: and there's good people, there's bad people. So you know,

92
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm just I know that everyone is angry about the

93
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: whole injustice going on. But at the end of the day,

94
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, we have to come together. And if you

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: put everybody in the dark room, we all look alike

96
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: and we all can help each other there. And my

97
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: biggest thing I would say is, you know, proximity breeds empathy,

98
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: and if we all come together become close, you know,

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: we can understand and listen and learn and educate ourselves

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: on you know, how someone grew up and their whole

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: life lessons. Yeah, I agree with you, Dina. And it's

102
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: true that during all this thing he talked about the

103
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: injustice that that kind of insided this with the police brutality.

104
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: You know, as well as anybody because your family members

105
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: are police, there are good and bad in the police department.

106
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: There's good and bad in the in the peaceful protesters.

107
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: There's good and bad even in the riders and looters.

108
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: And there's good and bad and just us who are

109
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: sitting at home watching it on TV. Yea, And somehow,

110
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: somehow we've got to reach out and and understand each

111
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: other in a better way so that none of us

112
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: have to do things that are unjust in the eyes

113
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: of all of us. Yep, I totally agree. I gotta

114
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you too, you say you live in

115
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: downtown Buffalo, if you made Buffalo your home throughout the

116
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: entire season or year round, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, me

117
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: and me and the wife are looking to buy a

118
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: home in Cali, uh towards the end of this year.

119
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: I'll probably say we're going on house hunting in a

120
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: little bit in the next couple of months and trying

121
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: to see what fits us best. But yes, like during

122
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: the off season, you know, we make Buffalo home here

123
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: for the last two years. That's good to hear. And

124
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you too, this has been a tough

125
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: off season. It's been a different you got like you

126
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: said you've and I'll just say you've had it better

127
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: this offseason than most of us being a newlywed, I'll

128
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: just say that, so you're better to hunker down than anybody.

129
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: But I gotta I'll say this as well. Um, it's

130
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: been tough to It's gotta be tough to stay in shape.

131
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean Buffalo. The weather here was cruddy all the

132
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: way through April and mostly of May two. Um, it

133
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: was hard to stay in shape. Everything was done virtually.

134
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: What have you been doing to, like, you know, get

135
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: ready for this season living in Buffalo and particularly living

136
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: downtown Buffalo. Yeah, M so we obviously I had to,

137
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, do some research. Our strength coaches did uh

138
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: an awesome job giving us information and and contact information

139
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: uh for people who have workout stuff. So you know,

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: I bought a whole workout, um, Jim, and put it

141
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: in and put it in our house. It's like in

142
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: our living dining area in the middle. And we got

143
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: the weight so we got everything. We have a band, um,

144
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: and then you know, we bought a peloton. So we

145
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: have a peloton and do some uh some cardio. And

146
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: then me and a couple of guys were still here.

147
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: We've we've migrated to a high school field and we

148
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: we go out about two to three times a week

149
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: and work on our craft and you know, condition and

150
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So it's it's it's been tough, and

151
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been draining and it's hard. But

152
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if you if you

153
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: approach it with the right attitude, it's all going to

154
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: be working at the end. Dean, We've been talking about

155
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: the versatility on this roster from offense to defense. You're

156
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: now seeing a lot of players that are you can

157
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: put them in the conversation of being positionless. Yes, they

158
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: fit into a category, but they have a lot of

159
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: versatility with how they play. And I think I look

160
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: at someone like you as a player who fits into

161
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: that conversation in that category. You play on special teams,

162
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: but you've really earned a role, especially this last season,

163
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: playing that big nickel role on this defense which is

164
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: becoming more and more prominent in the NFL. How important

165
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: is that for you to to be versatile and to

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: have found a niche on this roster where you can

167
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: use your craft. Oh yeah, um, you know, so I'll

168
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: go buy You know, longevity is determined by, you know,

169
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: the more you can do, and you know, I'm I'm

170
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: a versatile player. Like you said, and I just think

171
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it comes down to your mental

172
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: capacity and you know, to play the role that I have,

173
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: you have to have, you know, a good mental capacity

174
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: as well as a physical as well as physical talent. Um.

175
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: You have to be a leader, UM, and you just

176
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: gotta be a playmaker, you know. I'm I think I'm

177
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: a I'm a resilient player, UM. And every opportunity I

178
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: get when I'm on the field with UH, with with

179
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: all the guys, it's a it's go time. And I'm

180
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm extremely thankful for the opportunity that I have and

181
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: continue to have UM being here in Buffalo. But you know,

182
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: it's it's the way the way my mind works is.

183
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: You know, whenever you get the opportunity to go in

184
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: the field, is UH is make it or break it.

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta make the play. We're talking with

186
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: Dean Marlow's safety for the Buffalo Bills. He's a defensive back.

187
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: He's been with the Bills since twenty seventeen, came from

188
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: Caroline's entering his fifth season the National Football League. We've

189
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: been talking Dean about the season coming up and about

190
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: whether the fact that there may or may not be

191
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: fans in the stands. And when you look at the

192
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: schedule that you guys are gonna have, you got it

193
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: late in the season. You guys got a bunch of

194
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: primetime games, you got a four o'clock game, you got

195
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: some Monday night Sunday night games. You guys are gonna

196
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: be looked at a lot. And what do you think

197
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: that will be like if you play the entire season

198
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: without games, or without fans, or without too many fans,

199
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: without those kind of things, how do you think that

200
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: will affect you? And what does it mean to have

201
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: a primetime game and not have anybody in the stands

202
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: to watch. Well, I'm gonna tell you right now. In Buffalo,

203
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: New York, we got the best fans in America. So

204
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: without them being there, we're gonna have to dig deep mentally.

205
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to dig deep because the NFL is

206
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: is just all about the fans and for us to

207
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: not have that, if that does occur, it's gonna be hard.

208
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: But you know, coaches are gonna do everything he can

209
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: to put us in the right addition to know mentally

210
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: for us to play the game, and just you know,

211
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be just like practice, and you know, we

212
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: practice more than we play, so it's nothing that we

213
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be used to. But it would be difficult, be

214
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: interesting to see. But if they can make some crowd noise,

215
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: if they can do something with the technology that is

216
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: and now today's day there is to make it as

217
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: real as possible, that would be awesome. But you know,

218
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing, There's nothing like Bill's Mafia being there on

219
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon or Sunday night, or Monday night or Thursday night. Dan,

220
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: this team made a lot of moves this offseason from

221
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: offense to defense. Steph Digs, a lot of new players

222
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: on this defensive line, what the Bills did in the draft,

223
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: aj Epanessa, Zach Moss. When you step back and you

224
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: look at the roster, now, what are your thoughts on

225
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: this team going into twenty twenty. I think that we

226
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of players that are full of grit.

227
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: They seem to want to work so hard to continue

228
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: to to show out for their teammates, and I think

229
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: everyone has a winning mentality and when you can bring

230
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: everyone together that approaches the game like that and not

231
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: not just you know the game, but their preparation, their

232
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: effort and one their attitude, and you have all that

233
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: in one building. And it seems to me that, you know,

234
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: the guys that I did play with in Carolina, there's

235
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: a lot of them here. There's young, a young group

236
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: of guys who we just brought in seem to be

237
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: on the right track. We have great coaches that put

238
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: them in the right the right spots for them to succeed.

239
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm excited for when we can get

240
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: back to Buffalo and just see everyone come together and

241
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: really get after this thing. Talk to us a little

242
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: bit about that pipeline. I was saying that it's been

243
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: kind of nice because like you and Star Lotulelee coaches,

244
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: GM's scouts, personnel guys, and the staff guys in the

245
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: front office alone the players, there's a bunch of guys

246
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: that came from Carolina, and you know, I guess they

247
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: can stop doing it when they get a bad one.

248
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: I guess because they really haven't done that. I think

249
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: all the guys they've gotten from that organization, you know,

250
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: you think back to the time that that was a

251
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl organization, you got to be really happy with

252
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: how it has worked out and what has it done

253
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: to the dynamic in the locker room when you see

254
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: yet another guy come from Carolinas, it's gotta be fun.

255
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: You kind of gotta laugh about it, right, Yeah, you do.

256
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: I mean we get a lot of jokes saying that

257
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: this is the Buffalo Panthers and things like that. But

258
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that. I think from Brandon Bean

259
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: to Sean McDermott, Eric Washington to me, star Aj Klein,

260
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: Mario Addison, Josh Norman, all of us, we were all

261
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: together on that two thousand and fifteen Super Bowl team,

262
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: and we all have that mindset of wanting to win

263
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: and to a sense of togetherness and knowing your role

264
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: and how to complement your your all your teammate and

265
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: and it not even just stems through playing on the field.

266
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: It's it's all. It's things off the field. It's you know,

267
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: hanging out, uh, developing relationships with with the wives and

268
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: everyone coming together. And you know, that's how our team

269
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: work in two thousand and fifteen. And I see that

270
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: sense coming together with this team and and it started

271
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: last year and I mean it really started to win.

272
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: You know. McDermot and being got here in two thousand

273
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: and seventeen, but you know, as the years go on,

274
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: I see it. We just started to click more and

275
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: click more and click more, and it's it's interesting and

276
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: I love to see it. And I think we're headed,

277
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, from a track from being good to now

278
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: we've got to take that step to being great. Hey, Dean,

279
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: thanks for this. It's great seeing you, Thanks for taking

280
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: some time to talk to us, and we should best

281
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: this offseason. We can't wait to see you on the field.

282
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Thank you.
