1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: What was that they won't like for you? How nice 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: is it to get out of here? It's good, I 3 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: think to start with, the weather was really nice and 4 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: we got to come out here as an offense. Defense 5 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: got a little special teams, but just putting it together. 6 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: Day ones or day ones, you just want to get around, 7 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: get moving, compete a little bit, but it's more about 8 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: just getting in the right spot and setting the tempo. 9 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: Bill talked about dramatic improvement made from year one into 10 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: this camp year two. What do you think your improvement 11 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: is and what helped you this offseason? Yeah, I think 12 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: just just evaluating what I wanted to get better at 13 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: and whether that be footwork, you know where the ball 14 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: location is on certain throws, just trying to learn how 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: to hit every throw in different ways, and then obviously 16 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: you have to apply that during the season. So the 17 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: off season's great, but you want to take what you 18 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: learned and apply it and being able to use it 19 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: in games. It's the reason you do it. That's the 20 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: reason you work hard. And I know a lot of 21 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: guys on our team have worked really hard and just 22 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: seeing that, you know, us growing together is gonna be good. 23 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: But you know, we have a long way to go. 24 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: In today's just to start talk about what does this check? 25 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: I feel like it feels good. I mean, it's another 26 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: year playing football. There's guys on our team that I've 27 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: played for fifteen years. There's guys that are rookie, so 28 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: I'm not a rookie anymore. And I just have to 29 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: go out there and kind of, you know, do what 30 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: I've always done in fall camp and just compete and 31 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: compete against myself, get the guys around me better. Um. 32 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's a year two, but at the same time, 33 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: it's still football. UM. So that's the important part to realize. 34 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: And we're all in this together rather um, how old 35 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: you are, it doesn't really matter. You're just you're in 36 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: this together. And that's the whole point. Because it's slower. 37 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: Does it feel slower to you? Like everything seems to 38 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: be coming a little slower? Yeah, I mean we had 39 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: one practice, but I think that'll come come along during 40 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: the games. You just get out there and compete. And 41 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: you learned so much your rookie year. You absorb it 42 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: in the offseason, study and figure out what you want 43 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: to do, um to get better. So I kind of 44 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: feel like I did that, but it's gonna happen in 45 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: game experience. You know, you see it, you think, you 46 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: try to see what you saw and confirm it and 47 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: then and then react. So that's the whole point. Whether 48 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: you're a rookie, second year guy, or tenth year guy, 49 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter coming into this year compared to 50 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: last year when you know you didn't know anything. Yeah. 51 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: I think the NFL is a total business and it's 52 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: all about having that championship mindset. It come into work 53 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: every day, whether you're, like I said, a young guy, 54 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: old guy. Everyone's in here competing, whether that's against each other, 55 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: against the other team, or against herself. So that's what 56 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: I've learned is it's a job, and people come and 57 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: show up and put on for themselves and put on 58 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: for their families because that's what it is. You think, 59 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: you get you're not a rookie anymore. How much more 60 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: confident do you feel entering your sophomore season. Yeah, I 61 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: think it all comes down to building the relationship with 62 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: the guys, and we have great team Karateie. I think 63 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: that will grow as time goes along. You know, it's 64 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: a lot of our second year in the Patriot system 65 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: whether that was the new guys from last year rookies, 66 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: where the guys that kind of we brought in. So 67 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of growth that has to 68 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: be done and we're here to do it together. So 69 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: that's the important part. Regardless of your age, go out 70 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: there and he together, have fun and play football. It's 71 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: the game that we love the most. Fund paper scissors, 72 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: You got it? How much this seems to be a 73 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: lot of energy and that last play to avoid the 74 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: push ups? How much fun with it? The most fun 75 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: you've hadded a practice? Yeah, I think just competing is 76 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: fun in general, and you have to be able to 77 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: do that every day. Everyone has juice on the first 78 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: day of practice, but it's the consistency of doing it 79 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: every day. And that's going to be a challenge for 80 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: all of us to come out here and when it's 81 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred degrees or so or whatever it 82 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: may be, and we got to come out here and 83 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: compete um and compete against other teams eventually, but right now, 84 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: it's compete against ourselves and one another and get each 85 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: other better. It doesn't have to be a different color 86 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: jersey on the other side to get better. To work 87 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: on your technique, um, and things like that you have 88 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: with matt Patricia and kind of coordinating new offense, putting 89 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: things in, installing. Yeah, I think, Um, obviously, Coach Belichick's 90 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: done a great job kind of explaining exactly what we 91 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: want to do as an offense. And Mattie P's seeing 92 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: so many different defenses along with Coach Belichick, so it's 93 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: like they combine their knowledge of how to attack the defense. 94 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: And that's something that's really stood out to me. And 95 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: they're great guys who you know in coach Judge. They 96 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: all bring this different energy to the room when they're presenting, 97 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: so m they all are trying to get us to 98 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: work together, and that's the good most important part is 99 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: we're all on the same paying for gardless of who's talking, 100 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: who's making the decision on a play or whatnot. And 101 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: it's always an open conversation, which I love in terms of, Hey, 102 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: they're coming to me, they want me in, they'll listen 103 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, at the end of the day, the 104 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: players play and the coaches coach, and you want to 105 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: listen to the good coaching that you can get from 106 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: three coaches who have all been head coaches. So they've 107 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: seen a ton of ton of football, and that's what 108 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to take in is what is something 109 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: that each one of them says in a meeting that 110 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: I can take with me, whether that's about life or football, 111 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: and then apply to the game. And like I said, 112 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: they all bring a different perspective, but I feel like 113 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: they're listening to the play. Hey we kind of like 114 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: this concept, all right, let's try it. Or if they 115 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: want to put in something else, they explain the why. 116 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: And that's the important part for me is understanding why 117 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: we're doing something and from there as a player, my 118 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: job is to go execute the place. Now, so many 119 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: different voices when it comes to play calling it scheme. 120 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: How's it to bees hearing three different voices when it 121 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: comes to them? Yeah, I think plays are plays, and 122 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: regardless of who's telling you what the play is, you 123 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: just listen for the formation, you know, all that stuff, 124 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: and the play and then you execute the play. So 125 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: there's a rhythm to it, and that they all have 126 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: good rhythm and their meetings and talking through the plays. 127 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: All right, you start here, we go here, you know 128 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: type thing, so everyone you know, we're in there having 129 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: an open conversation, which is important. And then at the 130 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: end of the day, we take the coaching that they're 131 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: giving us, where that's fundamentals or scheme or reads, and 132 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: we apply it out here. So that's what we have 133 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: to do more consistently. The vision you mentioned Bill kind 134 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: of laid out for this is how we want to play. 135 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: For what you understood last year in the blast of 136 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: being with Josh. Yeah, I think at the end of 137 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: the day, patriot offense is patriot offense, and we're trying to, 138 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, hold onto the ball in a way that 139 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: we're not turning the ball over. That's the number one thing. 140 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: But we want to be able to move the ball 141 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: down field and in any way we want to short, 142 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: medium or long passes. It can be catch after run, 143 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: it can be in the running game, so you know, 144 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: explosive plays and play within ourselves and use our strengths. 145 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: I think it's all about the guys in the room 146 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: and using those guys and using their strengths, and me 147 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: just distributing the ball to different people, which is what 148 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: I've been good at and I need to continue to 149 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: grow with. It's just getting it to the right guy, 150 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: the guy who's most open and let him get the 151 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: yak and make the play or make the deep play 152 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: or the gadget play. So there's there's elements to every offense, 153 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: and I think there's a very clear um like layout 154 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: this year. I would already said yesterday they want you 155 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: to be They said, we just want him to be him. Stop. 156 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: How do you interpret that? What is me? I don't know. 157 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: I think just fee myself. Like you said, everyone brings 158 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: their own personality to the table. And for me, I 159 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: always think football is fun and it always will be. 160 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: But it's all about competing and winning is the most 161 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: important thing. Winning is fun. So we learned last year 162 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: what you know, winning felt like, but we also learned 163 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: what losing felt like. So we want to be able 164 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: to combine you know, having fun during practice but also 165 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: competing putting good plays together and everyone brings a different 166 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: piece to the table and from there we just put 167 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: it together and then when the games come, they come. 168 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: But we just take it day by day and just 169 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: be yourself. As far as your off season, we hear 170 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: a lot about rookies, how much but grindedness to go 171 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: from college to senior, goals in the combine and so on. 172 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: What we're able to do this off season now that 173 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: you didn't have any of those other responsibilities. You know, Yeah, 174 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: I think it's it's good to always take some time off, 175 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, we're always working, 176 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: always trying to get better. Whether you're on vacation or 177 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: not or whatever you want to call it. You're trying 178 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: to fix the things that you wish you could have 179 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: done better the year before. And I've always tried to 180 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: do that as a little kid and Pop Warner, what 181 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: did I do bad last year that I can do better? 182 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's work on in the off season. So 183 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: it's that simple. You obviously have to you have a life, 184 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, my life is football, 185 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of guys in our team our lives 186 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 1: or football. So we're constantly thinking about football, thinking about 187 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, the next year and what we have and sore. 188 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: So it's sometimes hard to look forward, you know, look 189 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: ahead too much, but you want to kind of just 190 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: be where your feet are and and focus on those 191 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: days to get stronger, to get faster, all that stuff. 192 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Thank you. Trent and Kencock a couple of minutes ago, 193 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: and they both said that the changes to the offense 194 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: and they think we'll let you guys play faster. Do 195 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: you get that same sense. Yeah, I mean we got 196 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: a long way to go, but I think we're doing 197 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: a lot of good things schematically to get up there 198 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: and snap the ball a lot quicker. We have really 199 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: good skill players that will get get lined up and 200 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: make those plays, and obviously a great offensive line. So 201 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: it all goes down to distributing the ball. Where that's 202 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: handing it off to the running back, throwing a swing 203 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: to the right, throwing a deep ball. It doesn't really 204 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: matter what I'm doing. If we can do it quickly 205 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: and put stress on the defense, it makes everything harder. 206 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: So we got a long way to go there. To 207 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: day one, we got to do it for you know, 208 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: eight months, so we got to continue that. But I 209 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: think the idea in the what we're trying to get 210 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: to is there
