1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Hey, Brandon harry Man. Good, how you doing good? Thanks 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: for asking? Um, so I wanted to talk to you 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: about Josh. We've heard a lot of the new guys 4 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,159 Speaker 1: speak very highly of Josh and obviously knowing him for 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: a lot longer, so you've got to smile in your face. 6 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: What stands out about him? All right? Josh is my guy. 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: He's one of those coaches that you know, he sees 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: your skill set and sees what you're good at, and 9 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: he trying to put you in the best situation to 10 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: be great. And um that's what I've come to learn 11 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: about him, and just the way he thinks of how 12 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: he sees the defenses and how he comes up with things, 13 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: and he really makes the game as easy as possible 14 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: for you know, for a lot of people. Is that 15 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, I know, trust is something that's central right 16 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: to kind of a player coach relationship. And he can 17 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: be as intelligent as he wants, but doesn't he have 18 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: to do other things around you to earn that trust 19 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: and whatever those other things? I mean, Like to be 20 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: honest is like trusting us, like giving the trust back, 21 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, trusting us with the ball, trusting us with 22 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: certain assignments and things like that, and like I said, 23 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: like I'm Josh is one of the people to help 24 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: him become the player I am today, because like when 25 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: I first got here, I didn't understand what he was 26 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: talking about when it comes to scan rules and you know, 27 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: stuff like that. And you know, the more I got 28 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: to meet with him and just figure out how he 29 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: thought and everything else, and then I haven't you throw 30 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: him in the mix as well. Um, they taught me 31 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: a lot and I learned a lot of football just 32 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: from them, But I learned how to, I mean think 33 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: like an offensive, offensive minded coach from from Josh last one. 34 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: We know we didn't see Damian and Reminder at the 35 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: start practice here today. Um, what's it been like for you? 36 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: Getting what I would assume it's kind of an increased 37 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: work club there. Um, you know, like Bill always says, 38 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: the more you can do and whatever the situation calls 39 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: where you gotta step up and be there. And so 40 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: that's pretty much what I'm doing, is how I'm going 41 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: about it, and you know, wishing the best for those guys. 42 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Man. From the next question, Dan Rich, Hey, Brandon, 43 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: I hope you're doing them well. Just to kind of 44 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: follow up that last question, what has been the key 45 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: to the running game having success? You guys seem to 46 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: be getting better and better, including yourself, You seem to be, 47 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: you know, getting better and better game by game. What's 48 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: been the key to the success so far? And how 49 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: do you continue that against the pretty good Brown's defense? 50 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: Um that success it really comes. It starts with the 51 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: old lion um like because without them there is no 52 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: play for us that we're not moving anything. And then 53 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: I would say the room we have and it's been 54 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: like that since I've been here, been a New England Patriot. 55 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: We push each other and we push each other to 56 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: get better, and we try to learn from each other 57 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: as we go along. So any tidbit or anything that 58 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: can help anybody, and sometimes it's just a general rule 59 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: and it helps. And it's been it's been beneficial for 60 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: everybody in the room because there's four different sets of 61 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: buy and seeing things and we all, like I said, 62 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: we all learned and pushing each other to be better. 63 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: So I think it's like a real good, healthy competition. 64 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: And I mean it just comes up for great football 65 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: and the entire room and a bunch of unselfish guy, 66 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: and we all want to see each other to be successful. 67 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: So that helps a ton go next question, my grease, 68 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Hey Brandon, how you doing, Hey Mike, got get out 69 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: the rain? Huh? Yeah, I was, well that's what I 70 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: was going to ask you about. Like, first of all, 71 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I just pulled over because you know, so this is 72 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: like a lovely day. We got rain, we got wind, 73 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: and like you're a player, you're coming in. Are you 74 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: even considering the field house or do you know that's 75 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: not even a possibility. I've been here for a long time. 76 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: So this morning when I got that rain alert comes 77 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: from the weather channel on my phone, I knew, whatever 78 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: it is outside, we're in it. Um so I'm so 79 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: can wait right now? So no, I was not banking 80 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: on the field house at all. It actually practice started off. 81 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: It was kind of, you know, kind of great grace. Guys. 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Wind was rolling in and you know, somebody meant that 83 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: it might rain here soon, and it's sure came down. 84 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: So we were out there, we were in it, and 85 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, it gives us a few more things to 86 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: work on, a few more things to be conscious of, 87 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: especially in the weather. And how did it, I mean, 88 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: how did it go. Did you feel like you guys 89 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: held on to the ball and like, is it like 90 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: a ball security type day? Um, it's a It's a 91 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: ball security type day for all three phases because you 92 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: got to account for a win and you know, of 93 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: course the rain, so it becomes different from just a 94 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: simple center quarterback exchange to just catching, catching kicks and 95 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: everything else. So it was a ball security to day 96 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: all around in the rain today. Thank you, Brandon. The 97 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: next question Alex Berth, Hey, Brandon, how's it going? And Alex, 98 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, how are you feeling right now? Do 99 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: you feel like you normally do around this time in 100 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: the season or with the opt out your last year 101 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: and sitting out last year, is it been any different 102 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: for you physically to this point. To be honest, I've 103 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: never really thought about that. Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna say, 104 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: with the year off, I don't feel as I don't 105 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: feel as bad as I would normally feel. I don't 106 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: think so. Um did a pretty decent job taking care 107 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: of myself and then getting back here and getting back 108 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: into the swing of things, you know, doing everything I 109 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: have learned along the way and everything and taking care 110 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: of my body and stuff like that. I feel pretty good. 111 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: Do you feel like mentally too, and you're kind of 112 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: just back where you left off? Or was it a 113 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: little bit of a process getting back there. It was 114 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of a process when I first came back. 115 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: A lot of things, a lot of things changed, a 116 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: little simple things, and it was things that from that 117 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: year off. It was like, oh, we you and me 118 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: and Josh always joke around. He will say something about 119 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: him playing and now say, that's not what it was 120 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: when we first put it in. He's like, you're showing 121 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: your age again. So uh so it was. It was. 122 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: It was kind of like he said, I wasn't a 123 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: blender when I first got back, but now pretty much 124 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: back while I left off. Now cool, Thank you, my crease. 125 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: Is that one more question?
