1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Good. What's up? Yeah? Everybody good?

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: She probably get some offensive players here in the next

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 2: few days. What are in store for those guys once

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: they get into buildings?

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a cool process, you know. I

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed, you know, when the rookies arrive, because

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: of the way that Bill sets it up. I mean

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: we you know, we have a orientation period and then

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: a rookie mini camp. We get to work with them

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: in the meeting room. We get to you know, do

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: some team building with them, and then obviously work with

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: them on the field, which is what coaching is all about, right, Like,

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, the meeting room, the process of meeting of

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: them in the meeting room to move into the field.

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: So I, you know, I get excited about that with

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: our own players, and then obviously with the addition of

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: whatever happens over the next couple of days, that'll be fun.

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: What is this process like for you now back here

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: in the building, back to the Patriots and how it

20
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: was exciting to be back back in this MAX year.

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been great. I mean I just I would say,

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: starting with the staff, like going back to when I

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: arrived here in February, Uh, the staff has been awesome

24
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: to work with. You know, we got a bunch of

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: good guys that work hard, We get along well, we

26
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: communicate well. I think that's been really good because you know,

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: the staff's a lot different than when I was here

28
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: years and years ago. So, uh, that's been good. And

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: then now with the arrival of the players, the players

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: have been really good, really in tune. We've only been

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: able to meet with them on Monday. We can start

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: working with them on the field, but in the meeting

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: room they've been awesome, really into it, good questions, good communication,

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: a lot of give and take between the players and

35
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: the coaches, and it's been it's been really a lot

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of good, a lot of fun. What

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: are your initial thoughts? Just I know it's just really

38
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: quick and new, but just the quarterback room. Quarterback room

39
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: has been really good. You know, Mac Jones has been

40
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: really you know, he's worked really really hard in this offseason,

41
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: been here every day, been you know, we just started

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: working you know, last week, so almost basically two weeks

43
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: right now, and that's been good. It's been you know

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: a lot of good meetings, a lot of good again,

45
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: give and take. Bailey Zappi same thing, you know, really

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: working very hard, good guys, you know, really good guys

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: that care about the team, care about winning, care about

48
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: what's what's you know, doing what's best for the team,

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: which has always been the mantra here and those guys

50
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: have really done a good job of that and it's

51
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: been fun to work with them. We added Trace McSorley

52
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: right before the offseason program started. I didn't have him

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: at Penn State. I just missed him at Penn State.

54
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: So it's been good to have him and get to

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: know him and reminisce about his time at Penn State,

56
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: but also, you know, talk to him about what we're

57
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: doing here in New England. So the quarterback room has

58
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: been really good. Not your side of the ball, of course,

59
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: But what do you think of Christian goan Zalez. You know,

60
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I try to stay in

61
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: my lane, and my lane is working with these players

62
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: that are here now, this staff that's here.

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Now.

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: I saw him today and you know, he's got good size,

65
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's a guy that you know, if

66
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: you draft a guy at seventeen, you know that guy's

67
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: probably pretty good. So we'll see out on the practice field.

68
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: You know, just like every rookie they come in here,

69
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: they have to you know, get used to the way

70
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: we do things and get used to, you know, the

71
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: National Football League, how it all works. It's a big

72
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: it's a big difference. You know, college football is awesome,

73
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, you guys know what I feel about college football,

74
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: but the jump from college football to the National Football

75
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: League is a big jump. And so that's kind of

76
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: one day at a time, and I'm sure he'll he'll

77
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: do that. Feel general reaction to what you saw in

78
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: the first round me on offensive players positions particularly came on.

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: You know, the team's picked and who's left on the board. Yeah.

80
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Usually usually that's you know, my experience, which is, you know,

81
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: not as much as some of the people around here, obviously,

82
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have as much experience in the

83
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: draft as Bill does and some of the other people

84
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: and in our scouting department, but you know, in my experience,

85
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, usually it's it goes about the same way.

86
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's quarterbacks, it's pass rushers, it's cover corners,

87
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's offensive tackles, and and that's you know

88
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: basically how how it's gone. You know, maybe a couple

89
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: of receivers here and there, but running back, you know,

90
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: running back, a couple of running backs one. So you know,

91
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: that's that's the way it usually goes. And then you know,

92
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: we as coaches, we just give our evaluations and and

93
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: talk to our scouts and talk the bill about how

94
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: you know this player would be used that player would

95
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: be used in our system, and and then we let

96
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: those guys make the decisions.

97
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: Are a lot of people teammates that actually talk about Max leadership.

98
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: One, What do you what's the end up leadership? Yeah?

99
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: I think Look, I think offensively we have we have

100
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: some good leaders you know, obviously at the quarterback position.

101
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: You know, Max done a good job here in the

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: off season of coming in and like I said, he's

103
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: he's worked very hard. But I would say at every

104
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: single position we have we have good leadership. And we

105
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: also have younger players that have leadership qualities. You know.

106
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: That's and I'm I'm not just saying this just to

107
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: say it. I mean in the experience that I've had,

108
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: which is only two weeks, with the players that have

109
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: been in this offensive room, which is most of them,

110
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good guys you know, that have

111
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: good leadership qualities. And when you have guys like that

112
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: that care about the team and care about how things

113
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: operate on a day to day basis, that's a good thing.

114
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: And so it's it's been good. It's been a good

115
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: two weeks, good start.

116
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: Having spent now a couple more weeks familiarizing yourself with Mac.

117
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: Is there anything you've learned that maybe either surprises you

118
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: or impresses you about him?

119
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: I think you learn every day. I learn about the

120
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: players every single day. Learned a lot about Mac. I've

121
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: learned a lot about Bailey. I've learned a lot about

122
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: Trace and all the other players that I've worked with,

123
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, the the offensive line, the wide receivers, the

124
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: tight ends, and the running backs. You know. So I

125
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: we actually, like, we had a meeting today with quarterbacks

126
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: and tight ends where we talked about different things and

127
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: I learned a lot from Hunter, Henry and Micah Sicki today.

128
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, I learned a lot about things that they

129
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: think about when they run routes and things like that.

130
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: So I think every single day, and that's one of

131
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the things I love about the NFL is every day

132
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: that you learn learn a lot from the players that

133
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: you're coaching in the NFL. You know, you can learn

134
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: from the veteran players, you know, about their experiences.

135
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: Kind of a full circle experience with I know, he's

136
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: a guy you recruited at Penn State, never actually coached

137
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: him to actually get the finally work.

138
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's cool. He is a guy that we recruited.

139
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, again, this is years ago. This is twenty twelve,

140
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: twenty and thirteen that we recruited at Penn State that

141
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable high school athlete football, volleyball, basketball. Comes

142
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: from a great family and so we I think it

143
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: came down to us in Ohio State and it was

144
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: one of the few guys at that time that we

145
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: were able to beat Ohio State on. So it was

146
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: a big deal for us to be able to get

147
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: him to come to Penn State. And it's been cool

148
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: to be reunited with him. I haven't seen him since obviously,

149
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: I've seen him a lot on TV and things like that,

150
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: but have not seen him in person since. So it's

151
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: been good. And just like like I said, I can't

152
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: say enough about the first two weeks and working with

153
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: these guys and you know how good it's been early,

154
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: But what do you what do you like about Jujus? Yeah,

155
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: it's early, but you know, he's a guy that you know,

156
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: when you watch him play and you watch his tape

157
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: from the places that he's been, is a very versatile guy.

158
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that's what you see in that

159
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver room. There's a lot of guys with versatility.

160
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: He's definitely a guy that has been a good addition

161
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: so far, you know, just in the meeting room, with

162
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: his experience and the things that he's done, especially most

163
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: recently in Kansas City. So it's been good to uh

164
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: to work with him. And like I said, and I

165
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: again trying not to focus just on one single player.

166
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been really a good experience working with

167
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: all these guys, you know, having been in college for

168
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: two years and now coming into coming back to the

169
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: NFL and going into that offensive room every day, it has

170
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: been a really good experience.

171
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: H I'll apologize if you were asked this earlier because

172
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: I can relate. But are you anticipating in any kind

173
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: of a quarterback competition for the top job?

174
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: I think, like everything that we do here is always

175
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: based on competition. That's been the same that it's been

176
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: for twenty three years, including all the years that I

177
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: wasn't here and everywhere I've been, whether I was working

178
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: for Nick Saban or Bill Belichick or when I was

179
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: a head coach. Everything is earned in the meeting room

180
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: and earned on the practice field. That's the way it's

181
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: always been. Like I told you guys what it was

182
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, I guess I think every year is different,

183
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: every year is new, and I think the best players

184
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: that I've ever been around in this league always have

185
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: the mantra that they're gonna earn it every single year,

186
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's a big deal. And those are

187
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: always whoever I've coached, it's been, you know, and I've coached.

188
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: I've been very fortunate because I've been able to coach

189
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: a lot of really good players. That's been a good

190
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: theme for those guys. They come back in every single

191
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: year knowing that every year is different and then they

192
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: have to earn it every single year, and that's that's

193
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: what this place is all about, and that's what we're doing.

194
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: We're off to a pretty good start. Build on that point.

195
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: You guys, you have three quarterbacks in the room, does

196
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: that necessarily mean you're going to resign yourself to not

197
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: looking at, you know, another guy under center going forward. No, Look,

198
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: I think I think my job right now is to

199
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, really concentrate on the players that are here,

200
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: the three guys that are here in the quarterback room.

201
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm the quarterback coach and also the coordinator, so all

202
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: the offensive players that are there. You know, that's really

203
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: the lane that I stay in, you know, And I

204
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: think that, like I've said, you know, it's been a

205
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: good start. Good you know, two weeks Monday will be

206
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: a good day because we get to meet with them

207
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: and then we get to work with them on the field,

208
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: so that'll be really good. But you know, I'm just

209
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: as a coach, it's your job to develop the player.

210
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: It's your job to make sure that you're putting the

211
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: player in the best position to succeed the players that

212
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: you're working with on a day to day basis. That's

213
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: your main job, and that's what we're trying to do.

214
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: Being a local guy, you guys here have a local

215
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: workout for prospects.

216
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Your impressions of that day in particular in Austin, Yeah,

217
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: that was that was a That was a good day.

218
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Great out guys from all the different schools, even you know,

219
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: guys that maybe went to school far away but they

220
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: were from the Boston area so they could work out

221
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: here based on the rules. So it was really great.

222
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: I think the coaches did a really good job. I

223
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: enjoyed working with the quarterbacks and the wide receivers and

224
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: tight ends and running backs. It was really a good day.

225
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: Austin did an excellent job. You know, he came in here,

226
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: he's very smart, comes from a great family obviously, as

227
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: everybody knows, and he was he was really a good

228
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: guy to work with. He was eager and did a

229
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: really good job of working out for us and and

230
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish the things that we asked him to

231
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: do so we could evaluate them. So it was it

232
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: was a good day. Well, just the excitement of the

233
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: draft and being able bad pieces to your team.

234
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: And I'm not just think involved.

235
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the draft. Look, I'll be honestly, I

236
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: think the draft is very exciting for the fans. I

237
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: get it. I mean you're you're always trying to uh

238
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, in the draft, you're adding new pieces to

239
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: the to the to the puzzle and all those different things.

240
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: But you know, for us, it's a part of the process.

241
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: Right every year, the year is broken up into different sections,

242
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: different areas, and the draft is obviously a big part

243
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: of that. So I think the big thing about the

244
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: draft is once a guy's drafted. I've always thought this

245
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: and I know that this is something that we think

246
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: a lot about here, is once he arrives in New England.

247
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: It's what he does while he's in New England, right

248
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: from the day he gets here. You know, how does

249
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: he enter into the locker room, earn the respect of

250
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: the teammates around him, and then you know how he

251
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: performs on the practice field, in the meeting rooms, and

252
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: then obviously if he gets a shot in the game.

253
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a part of the process. It's

254
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: an exciting part of the process. But the work is

255
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: just beginning, if that makes sense. So that's you know,

256
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: something that we look forward to when they arrive here.

257
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: In a couple of weeks, I was like,
