1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Good morning, Jason, Good morning. How you guys doing We're 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 1: doing well? How are you doing? Good? Can't complain? Did 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: this finally feel like a normal week to you? Yeah, 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: we're getting back to what our form of normal is 5 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: of whatever. I guess the twenty twenty years life from 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: all of us, we're off figuring out, figuring out that normal. 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, we're getting back to us. So being able 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: to get out on a practice field consecutive days, being 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: able to be in our building has been has been 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: a lot better of a week for us as a team. 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: I know there's no excuses down there, but um, when 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: you look at the lack of practice leading into Sunday, 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: how much of an effect do you think that had 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: on the team's performance? Uh? I am Jason? What's going on? 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: What's going on over there? Yeah? Sorry, just pulling, pulling 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: in a still getting used to the twenty twenty season, 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: So pulling into the stadium. Name, but the dude, the 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: parking dude doesn't know who you are? What's going on? 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: He should be? Should he should be? Oh we thought 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: you were, Devin. That's the issue. Okay, yeah that could 21 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: that could be it, But I don't know. I mean 22 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: it's like you just said, I'm not gonna say, hey, 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: we didn't get a chance to practice, so we lost 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: the game. I mean Tennessee didn't get a chance to 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: practice and they were able to go out there and 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: win their last two games. But I do know for 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: us as a team, you make a lot of head 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: and you improve a lot when you're able to get 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: out on the practice field and go out there and 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: actually practice. So I think for us as a team, 31 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: it's big to be able to get out there, go 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: against each other, compete and get ready not only for 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: our opponent coming up on Sunday, but just to continue 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: to stack good days so we can continue to improve 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: as a team. For for us as fans, we're looking 36 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: at Sunday as I must win and the most important 37 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: game of the season. What has Bill been saying about 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: it this week? Is he is he saying the same thing? 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: I know. I don't think I've ever been in a 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: building where we're going to a game where you get 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: sixteen opportunities and you're just must win and it's about, hey, 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: how do we improve to that These are the things 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: we need to work on. This is the way that 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: we feel that as a team and as a staff, 45 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: we can beat this team. So these are must and 46 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: these are the things that we have to do to 47 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: win on Sunday NSF to us Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: that we just keep we keep hitting those things, we 49 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: keep making sure our emphasis of focus. So I think 50 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: that's our approach that we have each and every weekend. 51 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: Nothing's changed from that perspective. We're all dialed in. We're 52 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: focused on what are the things we feel like we 53 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: need to do and to execute and the way to 54 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: beat to forty nine ers. Jimmy G coming back to town, 55 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: it's always interesting to kind of, you know, face a 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: guy that you know well, and what are some of 57 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: the pros and cons going into that Because of the 58 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: fact that Jimmy G was here for so many years. Defensively, 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's you guys will have a 60 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: pretty good hand on what he does well and what 61 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't do well. Yeah, I think for some of 62 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: the guys obviously dead and some of the guys that 63 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: have been here for a while, I never got a 64 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: chance to play with him and really talk to him, 65 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: But some of those guys got a chance to be 66 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: around him in practice every day, so you got to 67 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: see him kind of grow as a player in different 68 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: the staffs perspective, you kind of know him a little 69 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: bit better, you know, from the things maybe he did 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: really well in practice, maybe they haven't shown up in games, 71 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: but you're like, hey, I know he can complete this pass. 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: I know when he sees this, this is his thought process. 73 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: So those are some of the things that can work 74 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: for you there. At the end of the day, though, 75 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: it was a few years since he's been here, so 76 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: you got to turn the film on. You gotta break 77 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: it down. You got to treat him against any player 78 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: that you go out there and compete against. So I 79 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: think from that perspective, it's been a few years now, 80 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: so it's really about breaking down and see, all right, 81 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: what are the things that the forty nine ers are 82 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: asking of him? What are those things? Does he do 83 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: well with things that we struggle with and you try 84 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: to exploit those things. You talked about having fun this 85 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: season with the media earlier this week. How important has 86 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: the edition of Cam Newton been when it comes to 87 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: having a fun atmosphere, a fun vibe down there. Yeah, 88 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: I think the offense would be a better person to 89 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: talk to us. You know, we're all split so much, 90 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: but just I think his locker room presence and who 91 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: he is as a person, his personality. He's a fun guy. 92 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: He's a guy who's loud, he likes to laugh. I 93 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: think that's the type of personality that fits a lot 94 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: of guys on our team. So that's why I think 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: he's been able to come in here at jail well 96 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: and just fit in well because his work ethic is 97 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: very high. He's extremely hard worker. He puts he puts 98 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: two hours in the building, outside the building, and then 99 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: he likes to have fun. And I think that's the 100 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: approach that all of us haven't. We want to get 101 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: back on the winning track because obviously it's a lot 102 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: more fun when you win. Um. The fact that you're 103 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: in your car and pulling into the lot reminded me 104 00:04:53,839 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: the Broncos yesterday started to essentially tell their players that 105 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: they need to eat breakfast, lunch, and any other meals 106 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: in their car in the parking lot. And I know 107 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: that you were a guy who had some concerns about 108 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: playing football during these unprecedented times. I'm wondering if you 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: think that that is something that the Patriots ought to do. 110 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: That's just part of a process of a protocol. We've 111 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 1: gone through that protocol. There's times when there's a positive 112 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: or there's a different things that go on in the 113 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: building that forced us to say, hey, we have to 114 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: continue under strict guideline and for a period of time 115 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: we may need to get out of the incubation fear. 116 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: So we can still practice and do things outside or 117 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: outside on the practice field, but inside the buildings some 118 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: things or limited. So we've had moments throughout this season 119 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: where we've all had to eat outside or eat in 120 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: our car. So that's just part of the protocol is 121 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: moving forward that uh not. That's why when you asked 122 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: earlier about us not practicing, it's not an excuse because 123 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: there's certain protocol and certain things that as a league, 124 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: other teams, all of us may have to go through 125 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: throughout this season. I'm an accomplished car reader. It's a skill. 126 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean you want it because oftentimes you'll have, like 127 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, a tomato from a big Mac that will 128 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: slip down in the console or whatever. So it is 129 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: it's an art right now. It's a it's an art form. Jason, Yeah, 130 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: we better stay away from the big Max, though, I 131 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: mean once every once in a while, if you take moderation, 132 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: if you just have a bite, it's okay, just one bite, 133 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: just one, just one tiny little bite. Yeah, yes, Jason, 134 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: have you been back to see your family at als 135 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: and see outbreak in the locker room? Like? Uh and nah, Yeah, 136 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm back at the house. Okay. We gave it. Yeah, 137 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: we gave it our incubation period and then I've been 138 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: back home since, hoping that it stays that way. But 139 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: the hotel is always ready, uh, if if there's something 140 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: that comes up. Jason, you and your brother obviously do 141 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: the podcast, so you guys have a lot of opinions 142 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: on a lot of different things. OBJ said recently that 143 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: you know that Tom Brady is viewed differently because of 144 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: some of his sideline antics. I know you're a little 145 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: bit calm, cool and collective out there as a player. 146 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: Do you feel like athletes are viewed differently based on 147 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: who they are? Like where if Obj has an outperson 148 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: on the sideline, he's a diva, he's this, But if 149 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: Brady does it, it's passion. Oh man, that's such a 150 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: layered question. But I think I think for a guy 151 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: like Ohdell. I don't know him personally at all to 152 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: really be able to speak to how he is as 153 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: a person. I know from the outside looking at I 154 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: look arahim as a tough receiver and a tough competitor, 155 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: and I think that's what I see when I look 156 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: at him on the field and he's mad. Um, You've 157 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: seen des Briant, You've seen so many guys throughout their careers, 158 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady lose their temper on the sideline, and those 159 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: are guys that want to win. I obviously got a 160 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: chance to share the locker room with Tom for three 161 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: for was it two years, and he's not a diva 162 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: at all. He's a guy that he put to work 163 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: and he grinds. He wants to be coached. So I 164 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: can't really speak to Odell because I don't know him personally, 165 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: but from my personal opinion of him, I don't view 166 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: him as a deva. When he's had his outbursts on 167 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: the sideline or whatever and he slams a helmet. I mean, 168 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: just turn on any game on Sunday and the amount 169 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: of guys that you'll see come off the field and 170 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: slam a helmet. But that's just what it is when 171 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: you're such a high profile guy, people are gonna just 172 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: pick at and try to break down every single thing 173 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,239 Speaker 1: you do from a from a player's perspective, How difficult 174 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: is it If it is difficult, or is it something 175 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: that that players don't pay attention to. When somebody like 176 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: uh Stefan Gilmour, here's here his name as a part 177 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: of trade rumors, um, I don't know. I've never been 178 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: of that statute defensive player of the year, but I 179 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: think um for just players in general, when you hear 180 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: that type of stuff. I remember being in Tennessee, I 181 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: think this was twenty sixteen and Chefton and Ian Rapaport 182 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: at that time, we're tweeting line Jason mccordy's under trading 183 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Control the things that you can control, 184 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: like you have no idea whether it's sure or not. 185 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: I remember once the deadline pass, our GM at the 186 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: time came up to me and were just like, hey, 187 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: there was no truth to that, total nonsense. But from 188 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: when it came out to the deadline and you never 189 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: heard anything from them, so obviously there probably was something 190 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: to it. But I think as far as you can't 191 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: take your person because hey, at the end of the day, 192 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: if you're traded, if you're not traded, you have to 193 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: continue to play for that team. So you don't want 194 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: to look at a certain type of way because if 195 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: you go out there and mentally you're kind of out 196 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: of it because it is because of that. If you 197 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: go out there and play bad, it affects you more 198 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: than it affects the team. So I think you have 199 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: to just realize there's things a business. There could be 200 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: some truth to it, there may not be any truth 201 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: to it, but at the end of the day, you 202 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: don't know, and you won't know unless it actually happens. 203 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: So you just focus on the task at hand and 204 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: what you have to do to continue to play good 205 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: football and move forward. One last thing for me. Bill 206 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: said this week that George Kittle is as good of 207 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: a tight end that has ever played in the league. 208 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: Do you agree, man, He's really good. It's hard. It's 209 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: hard to go against anything Bill would say from a 210 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: scouting standpoint. I mean, he's He's watched a ton of football, 211 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: a lot more than I have. But George Kittle, from 212 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: my experiences, he's one of the best tight ends that 213 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: I played against when you watch him on film. A 214 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: guy that can block in the run game, a guy 215 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: that can catch the ball. We're watching the Philly game. 216 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: He's able to run and catch a deep ball, runs 217 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: right past a cornerback. So the type of speed that 218 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: can do that. And then I think the last factor 219 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: that makes him a really good player is how he 220 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: plays the game. The tenacity and the passion in which 221 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: he plays with. You can tell that when he's blocking, 222 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: and more importantly, you can tell that when the balls 223 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: in his hand. I mean he runs with an attitude. 224 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: He runs angry and doesn't want anyone to tackle him, 225 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: and he's pushing people's stiff arm and guy. So you know, 226 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: when you get a chance to compete against him, you're 227 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: going against the best. I need to have to be 228 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: at your best, all right, Jason. Well, for us it's 229 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: do or die this week, but for you it's just 230 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: another Sunday.
