1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady joins us after he win in Buffalo. Tom,

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: good morning, how are you guys? Good morning for the delay,

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: Well that's okay. We're talking about your block on Lorenzo

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: Alexander earlier, and Jerry made a good point. Usually the

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: quarterback goes low and cuts. You went right into it.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: If you had to do it again, do you go lower?

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Do you like the block you said on the linebacker?

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: I said that the game I was like a speed bump.

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I was just trying to slow him down.

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: So he's a big guy. Usually I'm kind of around

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: the corner and looking for a safety, but my job

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: is kind of get the play started. So someone snitched

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: it out. Then the kind of you know, getting the

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: way and hope Julian get around the end, which he did,

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: so it ended up working out. I probably took the

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: brunt of the hit but looked good. It was textbook.

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: It was a good block, and the announcers were giving

18
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: you all kinds of credit. Do you feel when you

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo? You always went up there, Tom, even

20
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: though you say it's a tough Division game. Does it

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: feel good when you play Buffalo? Does it feel as

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: ugly as it looks. I mean, you win, but generally

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: it's just kind of this ugly tooth pull of a win.

24
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: I know it was. It was tough last night. I

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: mean we really because we didn't produce many points. You know,

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: the crowd was into it the entire night, you know,

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: up until really Derek Anderson through that interception that that

28
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Devin returned for the touchdown. So I think we made

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: it so hard on ourself. Um, just with our overall communication. Um,

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: we kind of did the same thing in Chicago where

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: we just we could never get away and you're dealing

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: with crowd noise for the entire game. So um, I mean,

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's just it's it's hard to win

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean we say that all the time,

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: and you know we're six and two, So I think

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot, a lot to learn from the first

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: eight weeks of the year, realizing our entire seasons ahead

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: of us. We coach always says, you know, you don't

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: get anything for six wins in the NFL, but the

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: six wins allows you to get the seven and then

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. This week. We got obviously a

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: big challenge with with the Packers, who are you know,

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: always a great team and um, but right now everyone's

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: going to try to get caught up on a little

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: rest and and then uh, you know, get the film

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: study for the for Green Bay, like give us the

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: Scottie reported. This new running back you guys have is

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: an eighty four. Patterson was back there with yesterday. I

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: know he did he did pretty. I mean I think

50
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: he did great to be really put in that role.

51
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: And you know the one big run that he had

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: down their sideline, and I think there was more opportunity there.

53
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure if he is playing there more often,

54
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: you know he's he's going to make more and more,

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, bigger plays. So he's a threat win the

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: balls in his hand, whether it's at receiver, was kick returner,

57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: whether it's a running back. And you know, we've got

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: a we got to do a better job overall in

59
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: the run game. I think that was one thing that

60
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: was probably frustrating for everybody last night. But um, we've

61
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: been shorthanded at that position for you know, even before

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: Sony got hurt. So um, you know, just have to

63
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: try to figure out a way did he lobby, did

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: he lobby for those snaps or is that something the

65
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff came up with, tom U, that's you know,

66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: stuff Josh comes up with. I mean, I think everyone

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: loves when they see the ball in his hands. So, um,

68
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, the better we do, you know, the more

69
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: we do it. I mean, if if we gained you know,

70
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: four yards on six carries last night, I'm sure you

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't see it again. But I think there's some more

72
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: opportunity out there than even what we came up with.

73
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: And you know, until we get some guys healthy, I mean,

74
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: everyone's got to do different roles and so forth to

75
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: try to help us produce and score points. It kind

76
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: of energized. It feels like it energized guys too. You know,

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: you say you move them around like that. Do you

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: are you in a meeting when it first comes up?

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Or are you on the practice field in the locker room?

80
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Where do you first hear? Here? A guy like Patterson

81
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: and White? I was going to play running back A

82
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: little of both. I think a little both. Um. You know,

83
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Green Bay was actually in that situation years ago with

84
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: Montgomery and the actually made him a tailback. So I mean,

85
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: everyone has different skill set and you don't want good

86
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: players sitting over on the sideline the entire game. And

87
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: obviously with Julian and Hogan and Josh, um, you know,

88
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Cordell is not getting as many snaps at receiver as

89
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: you'd like. But if he can play a role in

90
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: other areas, I mean, I think that's just a great

91
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: benefit to help the team. And I think we've seen

92
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: that with a lot of players, a lot of Patriot

93
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: players over the years. I mean, guys have played multiple

94
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: roles and actually made a really big difference in games. Um,

95
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, goal line fullbacks like Moore Junior, say our

96
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: Tom Ashworth as a tackle, or you know jumbo tight

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: ends like Nate Solder did his entire first year, or

98
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: you know Troy Brown at dB or Julian at dB,

99
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: or you know Mike Raywood goal line tight end. I mean,

100
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: all these all these things help so over the course

101
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: of sixteen game season here, I mean, there's a lot

102
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: of attrition and guys aren't going to be out there

103
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: and you just got to find ways to adapt. Right.

104
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: We've asked you every week for an update on Josh

105
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: Gordon and you're you know, developing relationship. Um, he had

106
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: his moments last night. But the big story was before

107
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: the game. The report was that he'd been late and

108
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: was gonna be missing part of the game. It didn't

109
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: happen that way. Do you know anything about that? And

110
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: how do you think things are going us? After whatever?

111
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: This is week eight, week nine. You know, I think

112
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: we're just it's kind of a work in progress, you know,

113
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: and I think we're we just got to stay with it.

114
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a short period of time we've worked together.

115
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say that many padded practices, but I

116
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in him. I mean, when

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: I throw the ball to him, he makes the play

118
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: and good things happen. So it's just figuring out how

119
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: it fits within all the other things that we're doing

120
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: with the other players and Julian and Hoages and what

121
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: their roles have been. But I think, like I said,

122
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about him and what

123
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: he's done to help us. So, you know, I'm glad

124
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: he was glad he was more you know, productive last

125
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: night too. You've got a bunch of guys involved in

126
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: the passing game. Tom Booker McFarlan mentioned on the broadcast

127
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: the wind was the wind a factor at all, was

128
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: in a negative factor in you throwing the football at all.

129
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: I think on a couple throws early, I threw one

130
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: to Grounk up the right sideline and I thought sailed

131
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: pretty hard out of bounds. I actually thought when I

132
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: let it go, I thought we had a great chance

133
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: and atlanted down on five yards at a bound. So

134
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: and then the long one to Josh Early, I think

135
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: that ball drifted a little inside too. It was just

136
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: kind of a weird like knuckleball type wind um, but

137
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: it settled down a little bit. And that's part of

138
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: the elements. And you know, we play in those all

139
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: the time. We've practiced them a lot. Um. You know,

140
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,119
Speaker 1: it's not as great as you know when you're playing

141
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: in no conditions, but you know it's it evens out

142
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: for both teams and um, you know, we've we've usually

143
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: handled the weather conditions better than the other teams have.

144
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: It never never felt like Buffalo was gonna score. They

145
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: were having a lot of trouble scoring that. That's different.

146
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: This week you got the Packers and Aaron Rodgers and

147
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: I guess it's been a while since you played, but

148
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: you you have a relationship with Rogers. Right, you guys friends,

149
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: do you have his number in your phone? Do you

150
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: text them? Yeah? I know I know Aaron pretty well,

151
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: and we've been friends for for a long time. I've

152
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: always you know, knowing about him. He went to Cali,

153
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: grew up in the Bay Area, um, you know, and

154
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: then at the Packers behind Brett. You know, he actually

155
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: came in when Brett got hurt up there one time.

156
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: And um, you know, just what he's done as a

157
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: quarterback is. I think it's it's inspiring, you know, even

158
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I watch his game and it

159
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: makes me want to get out there and practice and

160
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: improve because I think he's so you know, phenomenal with

161
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: how he you know, managed himself in the pocket. I mean,

162
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: his ability to throw the football is you know, and

163
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: like anyone in the probably history of the league. So

164
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: it's just it's pretty awesome to watch and he throws

165
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: some of the best incompletions I've ever seen. But you know,

166
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big challenge for our defense. Um,

167
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna try to make it hard on

168
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: their defense, and you know, we'll see how it shakes out.

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of close games this year, and um,

170
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure this is gonna come down the wire.

171
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: You're generally considered the best quarterback ever. I mean, it's

172
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: the argument's pretty much over, who do you think is

173
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: the best quarterback ever? Well, that's that's. Um like if

174
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: you were an NBA player, you go me, I'm me,

175
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm the best. Well, but but you don't generally do that.

176
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: So no, I mean I think I think it's actually

177
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a hypothetical question that's that's just truly

178
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: impossible to answer. I mean it's so it's great for

179
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: I know, you guys, it's great to debate it and

180
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: and those types of things. Um, you know, I don't

181
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: think about like, oh, who you know, was this guy

182
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: better than this guy or this guy? You know. I

183
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: I guess that's just because maybe I'm an athlete and

184
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: I realize, you know, it's a lot of teamwork, it's

185
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of um there's a lot of factors that

186
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: go into helping your team win, and um, you know,

187
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to compare positions and eras, and I think

188
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: it's just it's impossible to answer. But I think Aaron's

189
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: one of the best ever. To play the game. Um,

190
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's He's got every every skill you need

191
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: to be a great quarterback. And I think there's a

192
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: lot of other guys who you know are playing today

193
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: that are phenomenal. I mean Ben Ross, I think he's

194
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: an incredible player. Um done what Drew Brees has done.

195
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm just talking guys who are playing. I mean Peyton Manning.

196
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't think there was anyone who commanded the position

197
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: better than Peyton what he did from from Indie two

198
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: Denver and I mean that was spectacle. I got a

199
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: chance to play against Brett Farve and grew up with

200
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Saut Steve Young last night and Joe Montana and these

201
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: are guys that I've always looked up to, and um,

202
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately it's gonna be a lot of ways

203
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: to get the job done, you know, to move the

204
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: ball down the field and score points. That's what our

205
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: job is, to go out there and score. Everyone is

206
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: a little different style and depending on the offense you're

207
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: in and the coaches you have, and you know, the

208
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: skill players you play with, Um, you know you developed

209
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: a them around the quarterback in a way, and you know,

210
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks, I think allow teams to you know, build

211
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: systems around them and bring out their skill set. And

212
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's very flattering when a team

213
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: chooses you and says, look, we want to move forward

214
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: with you, and we're gonna you know, get receivers to

215
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: compliment your skills, tight ends and backs and lines and um.

216
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: You know if if if they're not doing that, that

217
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: it probably means a team doesn't have a lot of

218
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: trust in you. So um, and there's just Cam Newton's

219
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: another one. I mean, what he's doing this year is

220
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: pretty incredible too. So I think there's a lot of

221
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: great players. We are, what six hours away from the

222
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: trade deadline here, Tom, Uh do you expect you want

223
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: your team to make a move and add some pieces

224
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: to this roster? Uh? I think all those things really

225
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: are you know, they're up the coach Belichick. I mean

226
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't I've never you know, said you know, we

227
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: need to trade or you know, I've never once had

228
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: been a part of those discussions. So you know, I'm

229
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: kind of like everyone else. I just you know, I

230
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: show up and you know, if they say, hey, we traded,

231
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean we traded lawyer Malloyd. We traded

232
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Dion Branch. We traded um, you know, Logan Mankins. And

233
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: we've also got a lot of guys, great players. Excuse me,

234
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of great guys in trades too,

235
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: um at this time of year. So it's just however

236
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: coach sees the roster and sees you know, that's part

237
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: of what his you know, abilities are as ad coach,

238
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: and that's why he's the best as he sees. You know,

239
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: he's never panics. He always kind of takes the long

240
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: term approach. And you know, if he's he's not gonna

241
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: overbid for anyone or it's it's just a matter of

242
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense for us and doesn't make sense for

243
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: old team, and and uh, you know that's up for

244
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: coach to decide. In baseball, when it gets the deadline

245
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: gets close, guys are kind of nervous, walking on eggshells.

246
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: It's a big discussion, you know, off the field. Is

247
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: it that way football or not so much? Not so much,

248
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: just because I think it's just so rare in football,

249
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: a man, it's much more rare. I think many more

250
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: implications when you're trading people and so forth. And I

251
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: think the fact they moved the deadline back a few

252
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: years has made it probably more interesting than when it

253
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: was I don't know, six six years ago, five six

254
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: years ago, when it was I think after week four,

255
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: week five, but um, you know it's it's I'm sure

256
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: there'll be some movement today, and this is kind of

257
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: this is the day. And I don't think that people

258
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: in the NFILL typically make moves until they absolutely have to.

259
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a deadline today and that's when

260
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: things happen, and we'll see how it goes. But you know,

261
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to show up regardless and go out there,

262
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I focus on what I need to do, Folcus,

263
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: on playing quarterback and doing a good job for our team,

264
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: and you know, whatever they decide, they decide time out

265
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: for the quarterback question. The week, you guys did not

266
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: play Sunday, I'm curious, did you get a chance to

267
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: watch the Red Sox close out another World Series tone.

268
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: I saw a little bit of it the early part

269
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: of the game, but not the end, And obviously it

270
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: just couldn't stay at that label. But what an incredible

271
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: year and the team had them and they played great

272
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: from I remember, you know, just follow them early in

273
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: the year and they won every series and they were

274
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: just playing so great and they just have made such

275
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: a commitment to winning, you know. I think it really

276
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: makes the whole region proud that the team is just

277
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: all in for winning all the time. And give a

278
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of credit to the organization, the players what they accomplished.

279
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: The parade is going to be pretty amazing. It's had

280
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: a lot of championships here, and you know, I know

281
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: what it's like to win a championship, and I know

282
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: what it means the city and to go out there

283
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: and celebrate it with all the fans and we get

284
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: incredible support, and this is the best sports region you know,

285
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: in America, and it's just it's a it's just a great, great,

286
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: you know thing to be a part of. So just

287
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: congrats to the Red Sox and um. Hopefully they inspire

288
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: us other teams to keep grinding it out and see

289
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: if we can put ourselves in a position to do

290
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: something similar. We made huge news last year when you

291
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: revealed on this show that we were going as avocado

292
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: toast for Halloween. What's the costume this year? Uh? I

295
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,360
