He's great man, sleeping pretty well, growing fast. 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: So it's been fun. That's the key to sleep. You know. 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: That's right? Better than Jet? Yeah? Yeah, Jets like good 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: at the beginning, but then you know he went a little, 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: uh kind of digression after the season. So yeah, so 10 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: far steals better in that category. Well, congratulations out on that, Rex, Um. 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, football wise, how much you've 12 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: had a chance to learn from Troy Brown given his 13 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: sort of new position as running backs sort of kick 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: return coach, and what have you learned? Yeah, Troys been 15 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: great to work with Um, just as understanding of the game. 16 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: Of course, he played, you know, many years here, so 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: he's familiar with the system how things are run here. 18 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I think the biggest thing is this 19 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: technique wise and route running. UM certain things maybe I've 20 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: never seen before. I looked at it in that way, 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: m just because you know, I've been I've played running 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: back and so he sees it from a wide receiver lens, 23 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: and so I kind of translated over to some of 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: our routes and how we run them. And so he's 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: been great with that and just teaching me, James and 26 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: all the other backs um certain ways to get the 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: positions out there and h really how to use our techniques. 28 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: Next question will be Allen Segel and sorry, Ellen, I 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: did you go ahead and called by marking? Okay, how Rex? 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: How you doing good? Are you? I'm hanging in there. 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: I'll preface my question by saying, I know that every 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: NFL team is in the same boat, but no preseason games, 33 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: no teams to practice against, and the way things are 34 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: set up differently this year, execution and the running game 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: depends on cohesion between the running backs and the offensive line. 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: With Marcus opting out, you got some new pieces David 37 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: coming back. How much of a challenge do you think 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: it's going to be with the way things set up 39 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: to get that execution working the way you want to 40 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: between the running game and the line heading into the season. Yeah, 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: it's huge, you know, like you said, you know Marcus 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: opting out, you know, he's always been a huge piece 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: or a running game and just you know, his physicality 44 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: and his intelligence you know, has always been huge. And 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: so it's really the next guy coming in as it 46 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: always is here whenever someone's out, being able to fill 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: that void. And you know, like you said, we really 48 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: didn't have or we couldn't have any run reps during 49 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: the spring to really mesh that. So that's what we're 50 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: working on now, and you know, really trying to get 51 00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: comfortable and confident with communication and everything to set that 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: tone at SAMBO for us as an offense. Big of 53 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: it it to have David Andrews back. Oh, it's huge. 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean David, he's an unbelievable player, Um, not only 55 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: just player, but captain for this team, leader of this 56 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: team and just what he what else he brings. I 57 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: mean he's a master communicator up front to get everyone 58 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: in the right position moving on the same page. And 59 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: um he does it every single day with consistency. And 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: UM he's a great guy to follow for those young 61 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: guys um in that room to really go to if 62 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: they have any questions. Thanks yep, Next question, Mark Daniels, 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: followed by Levin Reid the Rex ball as well. Um. 64 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Obviously the quarterback position has been a big topic in 65 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: New England this year with the Patriots, and I wanted 66 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: to get your first two questions of Cam Newton and 67 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: what's it been like getting to know him? Yeah, Um, 68 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: you know he's a big guy for sure, just his 69 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: physical presence. Um, you know, I've played against him a 70 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: couple of times for and um you know he's always 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: been a great player where that's you know, just as 72 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: versatility is the ability to run the ball or pass 73 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: as well. Um, he's been able to do that at 74 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: a high level for many years. And so um he's 75 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: come in right away, head down, Um, you know, trying 76 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: to pick it up as quick as possible. And um 77 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: you know he's got Horrior who's been in the system 78 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: for a while. Um, you know Sidham who picked it 79 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: up really well last year to really look to for guidance, 80 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: and um, you know if he has any questions, and 81 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: his first impact has been great. He's just trying to 82 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: learn as much as he can and messing jail with 83 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: the rest of the guys. So after a spring there 84 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: are no practices, you guys finally get on the field today. 85 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: What was that like? Was it? You know, how refreshing 86 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: was it to finally play a little bit of football. Yeah, 87 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: it was great. It really was just to get out there, um, 88 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: like you said, put the helmets on and kind of 89 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: move around at a faster tempo. Um. You know, we've 90 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: just been doing walkthroughs and of course, like you said, 91 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: in the spring, we couldn't do anything. So I think 92 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: everyone is really kind of itching to get out there 93 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: at a little faster pace, and it was nice. I mean, 94 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: we've been doing the virtual meetings, you know, we had 95 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: that all screen in the first week here, and so 96 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: you see a lot of guys just through the screens 97 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: like we're doing right now, and it's really cool just 98 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: to see guys actually out on the field moving around 99 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: getting to know them more in person. Thank you. Yeah. 100 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: Next question Levin Reid, followed by Bob Socie. Hey, right, 101 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: So I hope everything is going fine. I've heard Mark 102 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: Mike talk about your whole family, so we all know 103 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: that your family is doing well. Pert Mike reef So 104 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: that's great. My question to you is was there any frustration, 105 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: because you just mentioned you guys were just getting out there, 106 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: putting the pads on, seeing guys run around, was there 107 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: any frustration to say, man, I just wish we could 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: get out there and play football because you felt so 109 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: far behind. You know, I don't think it was necessarily 110 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: frustration as more as just an eagerness to get out there. 111 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: We understood like every other teams in the same boat, 112 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, with the rules and everything and just how 113 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: we had to progress. And you know, of course you 114 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: want to be out there, especially with new guys coming 115 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: in from other teams or rookies, you know, really trying 116 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: to get a taste of the NFL, and it's just 117 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, crazy times going off and just an unprecedented 118 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: year of how things have developed. And you know, really 119 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: we're just excited to get out there, get things going 120 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: and be back to plan. Thank you. Next question Bob 121 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: Socie for All by Karen Grega. All right, thanks stay, 122 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Thanks Rex. Good to see you about this time. In 123 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: a normal year, you guys maybe would be having joint 124 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: practices and preparing to play a preseason game. And I'm curious, 125 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: as the coaches try to prepare the team without a preseason, 126 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: is there any adjustment you have to make individually for 127 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: yourself without those intense reps of joint practices, and then 128 00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: the opportunities in preseason games. What are your thoughts about that? Yeah, 129 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think the thing is this control way 130 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: you can control and um, you know, like you said, 131 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: with no preseason games, that means every time we step 132 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: out on the practice field, UM, you know, every single 133 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: rep is huge and uh you know, we're being evaluated 134 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: every single day. It's a competition and I think that's 135 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: what the younger guys you know, really understand as well. UM, 136 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, not having a spring to really be able 137 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: to put any tape out there for the coaches or um, 138 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, get to be seen. Um, it's really just 139 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: every single day learning as fast as possible for those 140 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: guys and even myself continuing to learn and understanding we're 141 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: competing every single day even though we may not have games. Um, 142 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: it just hidens that level of competition up at practice 143 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: even more. Thank you. And it looks like the last 144 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: question to me Karen Greg Hi Rex, nice to see you. Hey, Karen, 145 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: thank you. I was just wondering, Um, given the versatility 146 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: of your running backs room, do you guys kind of 147 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: embrace the committee approach? You know, everyone can do just 148 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: a little bit to help the help the team. We do, 149 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: you know, we're all a super competitive bunch. We all 150 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: want to play to the best of our abilities, but 151 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: yet we're pushing each other every single day and we 152 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: want what's best for one another. And um, you know, 153 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: I think that's been the greatest thing about being in 154 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: this room, being in this backfield ever since I've been here, 155 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: is it's such an unselfish group. And you know, I 156 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: think Coach Fears does a great job of preaching that 157 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: to us and just understanding we each have a role, 158 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: we each have something we bring different to the team, 159 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: and so embrace that, you know, love on one each other. 160 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: Whenever we make great plays, be the first one there 161 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: to celebrate, and so I think, you know, that's special. 162 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: Each and each and every single one of these guys 163 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: understands that, and we look forward to coming to work 164 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: every single day together. Just a quick follow Um, you 165 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: lost Brandon Bolden from the room with him opting out, 166 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: but it looks like you've gained Lamar Miller. Can you 167 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: to just talk about your impressions of the group as 168 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: a whole. H Yeah, sorry, I didn't know that was 169 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: a confirmation there on that. So I'm not gonna speak 170 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: on Lamar, but you know, as a whole um. Like 171 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: I said, we're just excited to be back together. You know, 172 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: we're looking looking forward to the season for sure, but 173 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: this gray being back there on the field today of course, 174 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: Ivan you know, is excited and you know getting after 175 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: it individual drills and our bag drills. So m yeah, 176 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: we're just looking forward to the challenge this year and 177 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: being back together. Thanks Rex. Yeah, it looks like a 178 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: one more question came in from Doug Kaie, go ahead, 179 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: Doug eRx. Earlier you were talking about how working with 180 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: Troy Brown has maybe given you a better understanding of 181 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: route running everything. I know that Cole Popovich was in 182 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: the running backs room last year. Obviously you're not going 183 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: to be up there the trenches blocking like an offensive lineman, 184 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: but working with Coal kind of give you a better 185 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: sense of what the line is doing in front of 186 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: you guys. It did. Um Yeah, I mean I took 187 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: a lot from Cole um you know, even with you know, 188 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: pass protection, certain ways they block really helped us out 189 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: with our techniques as well. But just how he simplified 190 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: the run game with us and understanding this guy's gonna 191 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: work up to him and so forth. This is how 192 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: we should follow the blocks on this run. Um, I 193 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: thought he did a tremendous job with that. And you 194 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: know something, you know, I really took heat of I 195 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: know all the other backs did as well, and we 196 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: really tried to implement in our game instead of being 197 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: just running backs and you know, relying off our natural 198 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: talent and what we see in our eyes, but really 199 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: understanding there's a flow with the offensive line and really 200 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: how they're working the guys. So, um, he did a 201 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: great job with that and he'll continue to do a 202 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: great job for us. Thank Trus KENNI will go back 203 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: for one final question. Mike read rexus is all new 204 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: with the whole video conference stuff, but seeing the pat 205 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: Patriot on your head made me thick of the question. 206 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: Are you a pat Patriot logo fan relative to that 207 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: one versus the one you guys have on your regular helmet. 208 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: I like a mixture of it. I like a little 209 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: bit of throwback as well. Um, you know, I like 210 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: mixing it up a little bit. But yeah, Pat the 211 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: pat Patriot one's uh, you know, it's cool. I like it. 212 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: Do you have any recollections of that era of Patriot 213 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: football or seeing any like old highlights of old Patriots 214 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: when they had that back in the day or is 215 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: that sort of too far back? Man, I'm trying to remember. 216 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean, of course, you know I've I've watched football 217 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: and stuff was little, but the whole pat Patriot thing, 218 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe a little out of my my 219 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: highlight rules that have in my mind.
