1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Good to see you. Obviously we've seen Kyle Degger didn't

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: play quite as much today. But what have you just

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: seen from him so far through the first week or

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: so of training camp practice? Dougs, Doug's done a good job.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's um worked hard to get better every

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: day and improved on the things you know we've told

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: him to correct. And that's a great start. Um. I

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: think he's you know, just trying to learn as much

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: as he can of the defense. Um, just building that knowledge,

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, of NFL football. Um, you know, he's he's

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: getting better and it's you know, off to a good start.

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Devin was saying, uh, uh, Kyle, and and see what

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: he and Miles, Brian some of the other guys kind

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: of like know about the defense on a certain, you know,

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: certain level. How have you seen Kyle respond to that

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: kind of tests. Uh, he's you know, he's he's just

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: trying to learn it more and more. UM. You know,

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: there's been he's been working with a lot of guys,

19
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, not just Devin, and you know they everyone

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: on in the group has been you know, tested on

21
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: their knowledge of the defense every day when we're out

22
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: there practice, and you know, they're trying to think all

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: the right calls and adjustments, and um, you know, I

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: think that's we're just building as a group, you know,

25
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: not one guy in particular. It's a but everyone's just

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: trying to get better with all their communication. And I

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: think we're improving every day. Bill said this morning he

28
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: doesn't know how many people have the better understanding or

29
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: know the Patriots organization better than you and your brother. Um,

30
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: we've seen you around on the sideline back to two

31
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: thousand and six and two thousand and seven. How valuable

32
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: was all of that time that you spend in the

33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: facility when you were younger to you now at this point,

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Very valuable it was. It's been great to spend time,

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: you know, around this the great players and coaches and

36
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: had here for twenty years. Um, you know, getting to

37
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: experience being on the sideline of an NFL game is

38
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a lot different than the perspective

39
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: seeing it on TV. You know, it's it's things happen

40
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: really fast down there. Just being able to get used

41
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: to that speed of the players and how quickly they

42
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: process things. Um, you know, I think it I think

43
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: it helps me a lot, just to aren't about what's

44
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: really going on out there, you know, not just sitting

45
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: behind you know, a glass screen and but seeing it,

46
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, the real football that's going down, you know,

47
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: out there on the field when you clipboard six or

48
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, can you give any into you

49
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: were doing on the sideline at that UM I didn't

50
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: did different things whatever, you know, people needed help with

51
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: basically extra set of hands to help UM, you know,

52
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: wherever I was needed where it was, and then out

53
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: UM iPads once those started, the guys or charting the plays,

54
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, with the quarterbacks and the offense, UM tracking

55
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: stuff on defense, you know, it just the extra I

56
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: didn't obviously have a UM you know in the beginning

57
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: when it was just starting that two thousand and six,

58
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, seeddn't know a lot about the

59
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: intricacies of the defense and stuff, you know, so just

60
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: whatever UM having an extra set of hands could help

61
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: with I was. That's what I was doing, and I

62
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: was lucky to get that experience. UM obviously pat defense

63
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: for you know a number of years, ten years or so,

64
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: replacing everything that he does at the safety position, it

65
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: would it be impossible to do, you just have one

66
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: player fill that role. You know a lot of players

67
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: have come through here, and Pat Chong has been you know,

68
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: a great veteran leader and a great a very dependable

69
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: guy for this team for a lot of years. UM.

70
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's no you know, exact way on

71
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: how to replace any player, you know, no matter what

72
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: his role is. UM, But our guy now or just

73
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: trying to do their best to you know, execute the

74
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: defense as best as they can. UM, I buff Patton

75
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: respect his decision. You know, we've you know, we're trying

76
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: to just build a this group and you know, do

77
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: as as good as we can out there. We saw

78
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Joe on Williams moving around a little bit so far

79
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: through these first a few days of practice. How has

80
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: he responded to playing some different positions on defense? You know,

81
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: Jowan's working hard to improve. I think he's um, you know,

82
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: trying to help us. However, we can no like we

83
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: just talked about, there's not you know, one way to

84
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: fill the you know, fill the field, you know, with

85
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: one player position or anything. Guys have to be in

86
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: different roles, you know, not necessarily just to want in particular,

87
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: but all the um dbs, you know, we all we'd

88
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: like to UM think ourselves as one group, you know,

89
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: the DBS, so try to learn the secondary and be

90
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: able to help out there wherever we can. Is it

91
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: still were all the defensive backs are kind of in

92
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: one room with you and Mike. UM we've done over

93
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: the years, you know, it's been done different ways, and

94
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: we kind of we still have that approach where there's

95
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: some times when it's applicable to UM be together sometimes

96
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: when it's that's not, you know, but when we talk,

97
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: we'd just like to have an open line of communications.

98
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Are always you know, UM working together, being on the

99
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: same page. It's so important in the secondary, UM always

100
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: be on the same page. So we like to communicate

101
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: a lot about it. As far as exactly the meetings go,

102
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, it varies. Thank you, Brian,
