1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Greetings, virtual friends. How are you guys? There you go,

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: there you go? Um, I wouldn't be correct, all right,

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: So one question I want I wanted to ask you

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: was just on the responsibilities of an edge player in

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. You know, I think some some might say, yoh,

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: just you know, rush up the field, and it's clear

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: that it's so much more than that. I'm curious how

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: you would describe all that you are asked to do

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: as an edge player in the Patriots defense. Yeah, it's

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: kind of a tough question because it's very situational. It

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: depends on the down and distance, it depends on the defense,

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: it depends on the number of rushers we have, depends

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: on the personnel we have on the field, depends on

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: the stunt. So yeah, just a it's a very situational thing.

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes it definitely is a little complicated, i'd say, but

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: it's very important and it's definitely a point of emphasis

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: as a player here and something that you know we

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: all take pride in and anytime that's lost and that

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's not good. So cha's to follow up

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: on that? How how eye opening has that been for you?

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: Just as you've grown in the defense to see how

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: much is entailed in that position, you know, in this scheme. Yeah,

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say exactly. I don't know if I opening

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: is the right phrase to describe that, but it definitely

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: is interesting. Not I don't even think it's interesting. I mean,

26
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting, but if you get what I'm saying,

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I think for me personally, it's just part of the

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: complexity of the position. I think, at any position, at

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: anything you do. And not to get over complicated. Sorry,

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I know this is a little bit of chase planning here,

31
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: but there's intricacies to anything, and this just happens to

32
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: be that for the edge position and in our defense,

33
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: and that's it's such an important role, um and something

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: you have to take pride in. So, um, you know,

35
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: it hasn't been perfect on my end and that those

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: are just um you know, nobody is perfect in general.

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: But um, you know I'm coming in every day and

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: trying to do the best I can to uh to

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: be better and make sure, you know, I hold on

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: my end of the bargain and do my job. That's

41
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: really what it comes down to it. You know, it's

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: a simple mantra, but um, it really is just the case.

43
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: My last one, Chase. I like Chase explaining is that

44
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: that I get that right? Chaplain you got that right?

45
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Help me define that. I don't know i'd be the

46
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: person to define that for you. Um, I just think that.

47
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: You know, I've always been an outside the box thinker

48
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: and pretty creative problem solver, i'd say, and kind of

49
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: have my own approach towards things, and sometimes, you know,

50
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: how I explain it might not be exactly how you

51
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: might see it, or it just was my point of

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: view is basically what I'm saying, And I think it's

53
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: a case for anyone, but I'd say it's probably a

54
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: little bit more exaggerated for me. Appreciate it. Thanks, Chase.

55
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Mike. Thanks. Next question will be Joe Kayata,

56
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Hey Chase, how are you doing today? How I'm doing well? Uh?

57
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: The question I had is I just talked to m Julian.

58
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: He talked about how, you know, the level of excitement

59
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: to practice this week was like at an all time

60
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: high for him. He said, just because when something's taken

61
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: away from you, you want to get out there and

62
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: you want to get it right. Is that similar for you?

63
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: And what this week was like to have a quote

64
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: unquote normal practice week. Finally, I turn agree. I know

65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: there was definitely a lot of excitement. I'd say there's

66
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: a lot of for me personally, just over the amount

67
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: of time that we had off. And I don't want

68
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: to say, I don't know the right word exactly for

69
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: how to describe the feelings that we felt, just not

70
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: being like sure if we were even going to have

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: a game, and just the fact that man, I could

72
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: be sick, like okay, you're replaying that you have close contact,

73
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: It's like and then who have you seen that you

74
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: got to be alert for just a lot of stuff

75
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: that has really nothing to do with us playing football,

76
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: and just for us to be able to return to

77
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: a sense of normalcy and really like to be able

78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: to come in and hone our craft, you know, actually

79
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: in person was huge and I think it'll be definitely

80
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: play to our advantage comes Sunday. And it's just a

81
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: quick follow up to that. What is the level of

82
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: urgency around the team right now with losing back to

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: back age that doesn't happen very often around him? Yeah,

84
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: it's not so much. Oh, we've lost back to back games,

85
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: like we have to win. Now. I don't think that's

86
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: necessarily the attitude. I think it's just the fact that,

87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: like I don't know how to describe it other than, uh, sorry,

88
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: these are tough questions. You guys are really bringing it today,

89
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: I'd say, more so just the fact that the standard

90
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: is high in general around here, and anytime we fall

91
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: below that, whether it's one game or two games or

92
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: even one practice, it's there's a bar and we know

93
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: where it's at, and there's a standard of excellence, i'd say,

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: and we got to strive to or make you strive

95
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: to achieve that and perform at that level every day.

96
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: And so that's the sense of urgency. There's If there

97
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: is an urgency, then you know we're not doing what

98
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be doing. I'd say, thanks, Jay, sorry

99
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: about the tough question. Hey, no, you're good, buddy. I

100
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Awesome. Next question will be Dan Roach followed

101
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: by my Grease up again. Wow, he's okay. Nice. Yeah,

102
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Mike tends to hug all the questions and these things,

103
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, so we deal with them. Though. You know,

104
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: he's a good guy. Once you get to know him,

105
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: he's it's kind of nice, like Mike, Yeah, so I

106
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: think we all do. Uh no, nobody doesn't. Just a

107
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: thought chase on to follow that up about being able

108
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: to practice and have reps and have that routine back.

109
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: How important is that to you as a football player

110
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: to be able to see something and then go watch

111
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: it on film and then go able to do it

112
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: again on the field and have those reps which you

113
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: guys haven't been able to have really in the month

114
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: of October. Yeah, that was huge to actually be out

115
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: there on the field. And there's so many intricacies to

116
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: any position and just playing football in general, the timing

117
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: and the footwork, and it just goes so much deeper

118
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: than that, just as an athlete, like actually being able

119
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: to move and like you know, like have a place

120
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: to you know, really work out and train and um,

121
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: just get your mind and body and spirit right and

122
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: ready to play a game. And uh, there's something to

123
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: be said for just like the notion that you're actually

124
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: going to have a game too, because it's like it's

125
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: kind of like it's harder to prepare it. You know.

126
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: There's an expression it's better to be a warrior in

127
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: a garden than a gardener in a war, Um you know,

128
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: and it's it's always easier said than done. Um you know,

129
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: it's it's just one of those things that, uh, when

130
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: when you don't have that like locked in date, I'd say, um,

131
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: in general, you might not have as much urgency as

132
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier. But yeah, this has been great

133
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: being able to actually go out on the field with

134
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: your teammates and compete. I know the guys are hungry

135
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: to get better and improve off last week's loss, and

136
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: it's just really great to be out there with my

137
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: teammates and just just working hard of excitement having a

138
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: game outside. You know that Big Ten Football is returning

139
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: this weekend and uh yeah we got Michigan's got Minnesota

140
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: and I'm fired up. Um, you know, been hyper. Michigan

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: up a lot. Number one fan in this locker room,

142
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Uh you know, Josh and micer are

143
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: close seconds but really hyping them up, and uh you know,

144
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for the guys. Thank you, thank you. I

145
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: believe we will close with Micrease all right back again, Chase,

146
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: thanks for doing this as always. Um. Just the forty

147
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: nine ers um with two pretty highly touted offensive tackles right,

148
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Trent and McGlinchey over on the other side, what stands

149
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: out to you just as you've sort of film studied

150
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: them as to the challenge that is upcoming here? I

151
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: want to play Trent had where he ran to the

152
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: mic that was pretty nice. I'll give I'll give that

153
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,520
