1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Matthew, We're gonna go with Mike Reas to encourage

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: other stories, to gift questions for Matthew and Matthew, how

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: you doing Mike Greece with the beanie on today? I

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: had to have it. Matthew's these quick turnarounds on road games.

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: You know, it used to be easier when I was

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: thirty seven, twenty seven. You know, hey, you ain't gonna

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: tell me about what I love it? So where where

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: do where do we want to start today? We want

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: to go with with schools given build the ball and

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: what what what are we doing? Or I want to

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: keep it lighter. We want to go get right to business. Well,

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, look in this case, what schools given the

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: ball to coach? He made a great play. So anything

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: that happens after that, it doesn't really matter, right, So

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: it's all good. That was epic. That was That was

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: really funny. You know, I feel like we're in a

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a routine here where we talk on

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Monday and you take a temperature of the team and

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: it's good perspective to ask you, like, what's happening in there?

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: So what is the temperature within the locker room, within

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: the players. Yeah. You know, look, I think Mike, we've

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: done a good job of digging ourselves out of an

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: early season hole here, and we've made some progress and

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: we're starting to see the results that we've been hoping for,

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: and that's you know, showing up in the wind column.

26
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: The thing that we can't do now is feel as

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: though we've done something. You know, you look at it,

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: you look at our division. We're still the last place

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: team in our division. So you know, we need to

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: continue to not just improve, but to continue to try

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: to go out and play winning football. We're encouraged by

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: the progress that we've made and we're looking to build

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: upon them. And I have one more one thing I

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: learned this year, and I want to see where your

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: perspective is on it. The muffed punt. You know, I

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: used to look at those and think to myself, out,

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: that's a mistake by the returner without factoring in the

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: actual role the punter plays in that. What did you

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: see on what like Jake did on that to possibly

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: create that challenge for the returner there? Yeah, absolutely, Well,

41
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, Jake did a great job yesterday.

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: I thought across the board punts and kickoffs, just giving

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: us a chance to go and cover and impact the

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: game and coverage. You know, I think that particular punt

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: the sun was a little bit of a factor coming

46
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: in from that side of the stadium. I think Jake

47
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: had a high ball that was kind of telling away

48
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: from Rogers, and you know, for whatever reason, he decided

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: not to fair catcht theball, so you know, gave us

50
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: a chance to get down there and get pressure in

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: his face, you know, And that's you know, a credit

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: to Jake, just him going out, trusting his stroke, hitting

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: his ball and then letting the rest of us do

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: our job. So you know, those plays are huge for

55
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: us in that situation with the way things were going.

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: That was a huge play in the game and one

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: that we really needed. Next question, Bob Socie felt by

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: Chris Ryan. Thanks Stacy. Good afternoon, Matthew. How are you, Bob.

59
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm good, Matthew. Although yesterday I was accused on the

60
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: radio by my partner Jinxing Nick Folk when I mentioned

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: his streak before he finally missed a field goal inside

62
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: of fifty yards for the first time since his first

63
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: attempt in twenty twenty. I just want to ask you

64
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: about you know that that consistency sixty four in a row.

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: To have that kind of reliability, I guess teammates probably

66
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about streaks while they're still live.

67
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: So now that the streak is behind us and it's

68
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: an NFL record, you look at what Nick accomplished in

69
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: that period of time and what he stands to continue

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: to accomplish the rest of this season. You know what

71
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: stands out to you about him? Yeah, Bob, you know,

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I was. It's almost like a picture going a no hitter, right.

73
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: He can't he can't go out there in the eighth

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: inning and be like, oh, he's got the no hitor going.

75
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: So I didn't say anything to him this whole time.

76
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: I you know, obviously, I think we all acknowledge when

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: he broke the NFL record, But other than that, you know,

78
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: we were just trying to let Nick do his thing.

79
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I've said it numerous times, he's one

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: of the most professional guys I've been around. Just his

81
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: approach is consistency. The routine that he has, he doesn't

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: vary from it, and he just keeps his head down

83
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: and goes about his business. And I think as a teammate.

84
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: You certainly appreciate that, knowing that you're going to have

85
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's prepared, who's ready for the moments, and

86
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: who obviously executes with the consistency that he does. You know,

87
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: but I think, you know, we should all appreciate what

88
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: he was just able to accomplish it. You know, the

89
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: NFL is over one hundred years old, and he has

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: done something that no other kicker in the history of

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: the game has done, and he deserves a ton of

92
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: credit for that, and and things like that don't happen

93
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: by accident. Again, I go back to his preparation, I

94
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: go back to his mindset. Um, all those intangibles that

95
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: I think put him in positions to go out there

96
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: and be successful, then obviously has the talent to do so.

97
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: So look, I've been spoiled here in New England. Um

98
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: to play with Steven for all those years and then

99
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: to now be with Nick. Um. You know, it's it's

100
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: a great, great luxury to be able to go out

101
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: and when the field goal team goes on the field,

102
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: you're pretty much saying, hey, kickoff up, and you know

103
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: we're we're going to be leading on Nick, rely on

104
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: him heavily as the season continues to unfold, and you know,

105
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: we're we're expecting nothing but the best from him, if

106
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: you don't mind one more question about Nick going back

107
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: to the last time he played for another team, it

108
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: was against you and the Pats, I think on Thursday

109
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: night in Tampa, and that was such a difficult night

110
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: for him personally. And then he's out of the league

111
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: for a while and then he joins the team and

112
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: you look back in retrospect, how would he characterize you know,

113
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: where he had been and how he got to this point,

114
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: and you know what what that says about, you know,

115
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: him to keep himself in shape, to keep himself in practice,

116
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: and take advantage of the opportunity eventually with the Pats. Yeah. Well,

117
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: well let's say this, Bob, no matter who you are,

118
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: no matter what your profession may be, you're gonna have

119
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: a bad day on the job. That's just the reality.

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: And you guys are gonna you know, write an article

121
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: that people don't like, say something on the radio as

122
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: you call the game that people don't like, or that

123
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: you wish you could have back. That's just part of it.

124
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: It's just unfortunate. As a field goal kicker. When you

125
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: have a bad night, everyone sees that, and you know,

126
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: but those nights are going to happen, and I think

127
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: the great ones are able to hit the reset button

128
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: mentally and move on to the next kick, the next situation,

129
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Obviously, for Nick, his career course,

130
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, took some twists and turns that I'm sure

131
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: that he didn't anticipate. But it says a lot about

132
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: him being resilient enough to stick with it, to stay

133
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: on top of his craft, to keep trying to improve,

134
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: to take advantage of the opportunities that were there for him.

135
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it shows that he has

136
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: a lot of humility to be able to go to

137
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: a different league and play. Not a lot of guys

138
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: are going to do that, especially experienced, accomplished guys, but

139
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: that's what he felt like he needed to do to

140
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: keep his dream alive. And and look now in hindsight,

141
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: that really paid off for him. So, you know, kudos

142
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: to him. And I can't say enough good things about

143
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Fole. Matthew, Thanks, I'll appreciate it, no problem.

144
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: My next question Chris Ryan Fall but Dakota Rainald, Hey,

145
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: Matthew how are you. I'm well, Chris, how are you?

146
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: I am also well. Obviously, rookies have made a huge

147
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: significant contribution to the team this year, and I'm interested

148
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: in what goes into making sure that they're in a

149
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: good enough place so that when they're called upon, like

150
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Bailey obviously has been that they're ready and have the

151
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: tools to try to have success and also minimize mistakes. Yeah, well, look,

152
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, I tipped my hat to this rookie class

153
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: and the way that they've prepared themselves, the way they've

154
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: gone out and competed, in the way they've tried to

155
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: work to get better every day. You know, when you

156
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: have a coach like Coach Belichick, every player in the building,

157
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: whether they're young or old, is going to be held

158
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: to the same standard. And he coaches us very hard,

159
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: but not just that, he coaches us in a way

160
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: that you know, hopefully we improve. And I think, especially

161
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: when you're talking about rookies, that's so critical, you know,

162
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: the ability for coaches to develop talent, to improve talents

163
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: and still confidence in them and then having execute on

164
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: game day. So you know, a lot of kudos to

165
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: coach Belichick and his staff certainly for the job that

166
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: they've done with these young guys. You know, kudos to

167
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: our veteran leadership for holding these guys accountable. We're showing

168
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: these guys how to be professionals. You know, Guys like Devin,

169
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Guys like d Wise, guys like Ben Brother Mills, I

170
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: mean John Jones. The list goes on Cody Davis, guys

171
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: that have been intentional about developing and pouring into our

172
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: rookies and sharing the knowledge that they have. And then lastly,

173
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean tip they had to the rookies are the

174
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: ones that are going out there and executing. No one

175
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: can play the game for them. They have to do

176
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: it for themselves, and so far they're doing a great

177
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: job of it. Thanks for ship, no problem. Last question

178
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: to Cotrono. Hey, Matthew, First of all, you hear me, well,

179
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm at the airport. I don't know if the service

180
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: is good. I can hear you, Okay, Dakota, all right,

181
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier about how you guys sort of dug

182
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: yourself out of an early hole. I'm wondering, you know,

183
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: did it help at all that you guys dug yourself

184
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: out of a similar hole last season? Knowing like, hey,

185
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: you know we did this before. The truly is a

186
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: lot of season left? Or is it really just game

187
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: to game week week? You know what, as much as

188
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to say that last year's experience has helped,

189
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, every team is so different, right, I mean

190
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: this team is much different from last year's team. The opponents,

191
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: the situations that we are in are different. So, you know,

192
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: I think it's really about this year's team embracing the

193
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: set of circumstances that we were dealt with early and

194
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: trying to improve, continue to compete, continue to as you said,

195
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: approach things situation my situation day by day and just

196
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, see who that gets us? Um, And really,

197
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,359
Speaker 1: I think that the credit goes to everyone, the entire organization.

198
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: The training staff has worked a little bit harder, the

199
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: meal service staff has worked a little bit harder, the

200
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: pr staff has worked a little bit harder. Everybody has

201
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: tried to pick up their level to get us to

202
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: where we need to be. Uh. You know, they've been

203
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: a team and it's just one more. Um. I saw

204
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,800

Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, how was that night and how was

206
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,720

Speaker 1: including Tom Brady. Yeah, well, you know, I don't want

00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,439
