1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Good morning, Cam Newton, Good morning. How are you doing?

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Doing great? Um? There was I think for some there

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: was a giant balloon of hope that got a little

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: deflated on Thursday night. Uh what what what can you

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: say this morning to make us all feel better? I

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: can tell you nothing. I could tell you nothing. I

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: just know for me, you know, the process doesn't stop.

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: The process doesn't stop, man. And unfortunately we didn't come

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: up with the with the win on Thursday. But at

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, we just got to keep

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: doing what we're doing. And UM, you know moving forward. Um,

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: when when you were looking at approaching these final three games, Um,

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: what what does that approach look like for you? Just

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: taking it one game at a time? UM? You know,

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: obviously we have three uh divisional opponents that we know

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: extremely well, and UM, you know, we just got to

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: go into it with the sound mind knowing that, you know,

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: taking one game at a time, and that's what we're

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna start with Miami on Monday night

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: and uh embrace his whole process and you know, UM

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Coach Belichick defended the pick six on the

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: on the screenplay, UM, what does what does that mean

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: to you when when Bill is publicly standing behind your performance,

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the truth. It's not like to defending.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, my job is to to do everything that

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: the coaches is telling me to do, and that's what

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: I do. UM. You know, the contrary to whatever is

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: being said, whatever it's being analyzed, you know, I try

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: my best to to to put on as best of

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: a performance that I could possibly go out and do

31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: each and every play, you know, whether it's deciding to throw,

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: whether it's decide out of the run, whether it's decide

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: just to make the smart decisions. And you know, that's

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: that's what I'm coached to do and that's what I'm

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: going to continually to do. So no matter you know

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: what coach Bill says, and I appreciate him, you know, deeply.

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm just doing what I'm

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: asked to do UM and trying to execute to the

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: best I know. How can talk a little bit about

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: that play because I think with a lot of people

41
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: who don't really know the any inner workings on the

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: screen and don't understand that it's about anticipation and you know,

43
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: there's always going to be a free rusher because you're

44
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: trying to get those guys up field, so it's either

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: take a sack or anticipate where a guy is supposed

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: to be when you're running the screen. Yeah, so you

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: know that particular play Dame was was in essence, trying

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: to entice the rush, or to speak, so you want

49
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: to bring the rush to you so you can throw

50
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: behind them and that you can play. I was anticipating

51
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: game to kind of come free in the latter part,

52
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: but that didn't happen, and obviously he got held up,

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the defender behind him, you know, called it.

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's when you start playing this game,

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: taking guests in yourself where you started playing this game,

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: you know too, conservatives, that's when the states happened. So

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, for me in my bandage point, I was

58
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: just trying to anticipate something and throw it before he

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: was actually open, knowing he was going to be open,

60
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: but it never got open. So that's, um, that's the theory, right.

61
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Wiggy, what you want to ask about the

62
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: play calling? I mean, well, well, you know I'd like

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: to ask this because I asked Eph mccordy this on

64
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: Friday and I know what's the human nature of players.

65
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: And I've been in that situation before as a player.

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: When you now need other things to happen for you

67
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: from other teams, you kind of stop watching schedules and

68
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: watching what other teams are doing. And I asked, Devin,

69
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: how difficult is it, you know, for players not to

70
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: kind of get caught up in that mode. I know

71
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of guys are gonna be

72
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: watching the Cleveland Browns Baltimore Ravens game, but just not

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: getting caught in that mode and still trying to focus

74
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: on the task at hand and not letting anybody else

75
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: dictate maybe how you feel as far as your playoffs

76
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: playoff hopes where you're still you still have to do

77
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: your job and that's just a still win. So I

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: think that's what you first. You know, obviously we all

79
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: we all heard the cliche thing take care of what

80
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 1: you can control, and that's what we have been trying

81
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: to do this whole time. But you know, for us,

82
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: it's it's even magnified now, so it doesn't matter what

83
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: any other person does. Is still we still have to

84
00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: do the things that we know we can control. What

85
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: um cam, what has What has surprised you about your

86
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: time here in New England so far? The weather? This

87
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: is like a Tom Brady, Yes, that's why. That's why

88
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady said that he wouldn't be caught dead living

89
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: in the in the northeast. Ever. Again, no, I'm not

90
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna necessarily say that. Um, you know, New England has

91
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: has gave me days where I was just anticipating the

92
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: frigid cold air and then bumus, there's like a spring

93
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: day and then there's been signs that I was caught

94
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: without a jacket and my goodness, the cold is shivers

95
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: through the bones. But you know, um, as far as

96
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: anything else, you know, I don't know. I was saying

97
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: that in the jokingly manner. Man I, um, you know

98
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: the things you hear about the weather here, and you

99
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: can never prepare for the weather here because you have

100
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: to get all material some coats, jackets, leggings and long

101
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: johns and everything from here to be prepared for the

102
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: weather for here. So yeah, I mean you probably can't

103
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: be You probably can't bring out that that mountaineering shorts

104
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: outfit that you were wearing a few weeks ago. That's

105
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's got to be put away from the

106
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: window will be that will be smart for for for

107
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: New England or Boston. That's why I warred in Houston. Um,

108
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: speaking of speaking of the New England region. I know it.

109
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: I know it was reported this this over the weekend

110
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: that you were selling your house in Charlotte. Um. Have

111
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: you have you looked into into real estate up here

112
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: at all? Not at this particular moment, I have not. Um. Yeah,

113
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: So so the answer would be, uh, no, I have

114
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: not looked into real estate yet here in New England.

115
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm not no, No. I okay, Cam, do you have

116
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: any when you're looking? Oh? Go ahead, what Cam? You? Uh?

117
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: You guys do a lot of research, a lot of research,

118
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: and U you have leading questions that you probably already

119
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: know the answer too. But I guess you just want

120
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: to bear come out of my mouth. So that's the

121
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: funny thing about a lot of questions that are asked

122
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: when you are looking for a place to live, though, Cam, Look,

123
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: are there any must haves? Whether it's a condo or

124
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: a house? Is there anything that you view as an

125
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: absolute necessity? You're a deal breaker that if a place

126
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: didn't have it, you wouldn't buy it. Um. Outside of

127
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: space and I don't know, it's it's it's crazy. I'm

128
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: always on energies. And if you are ever walk into

129
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a place, or you ever be around a person and

130
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: you just catch a bad vible or bad like intuition,

131
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: I saw am I one to do it. There's been

132
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: times the places has been gorgeous. I just wouldn't move

133
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: on it because I didn't necessarily like the way it

134
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: made me feel. So, yeah, that's the that's the feng shui, right,

135
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: that's the steeds. It's the steeds in the in the

136
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: feng shui. Yes, WIGGI yeah, Ki Kim. One of the

137
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: things that's kind of frustrated me for a number of years, uh,

138
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: is some of the ways that Josh McDaniels might call

139
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: some of the plays inside the five yard line. And yeah,

140
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: you know as a fan, so going into games, what's

141
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: some of the maybe like the thought process of what

142
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: he wants to call in certain areas. I mean we

143
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: saw at this pass game where he had four runs

144
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: inside the five and then obviously last year as a fan,

145
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: you watch him against the Tennessee Titans have a first

146
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: in goal on the one yard line, runs the ball

147
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: four time. What are some of the thought process into

148
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: deciding on whether you want to run down inside the

149
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: five or you want to throw in side the five

150
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: man one thing that's not about to happen. And let

151
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: me be perfectly clear, You're not about to create any

152
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: type of division between me and Josh McDaniels. You know,

153
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: you're talking to the person who number one respects this

154
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: opportunity first and foremost. And that's talking from coach Bill Belichick.

155
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: That's talking in regards of Josh McDaniels, obviously Robert Kraft

156
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: and even Jed. I think that would be selfish of

157
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: me to kind of indirectly point the finger when here's

158
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: a person who is is putting our team in the

159
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: best situation to you know, for the most part, Josh

160
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: and me and Josh's relationship has grown, you know obviously

161
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: while I've been here and for me to kind of

162
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: know him and know how his theory and thinking is,

163
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: it's been just something that I've even you know, attached

164
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: to myself even more. You know, he's a very passionate

165
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: person that I would never have second guess. It's his

166
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: theory no matter what it is, and yeah, it was,

167
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: it was it the play calling, and and there's been

168
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: times where you know, as a player, you kind of

169
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: bail your coach out because of the players that you

170
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: bet you may make. But more times than not, Josh

171
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Is bailed the whole team out because of his theory

172
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: and his end game adjustments. So I mean, it's it's

173
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: give and take. Now, going back at Thursday, it's it's

174
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: a lot of fingers. You don't have enough hands to

175
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: go around to point the finger. Ala, I know all

176
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: the highlights is it's going to be on the offense.

177
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously with me being the the the

178
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: sigma caller and the person in demand, a lot of

179
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: blame goes to me. Yeah, then, and and that's fair.

180
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: That's that's anytime you look at the offense in your year,

181
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: you're saying you had a lot of three and outs,

182
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: you had a lot of opportunities, missed the defense uphill

183
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: there into the bargain. But at the end of the day,

184
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: we played the most ultimate team sport and that's and

185
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: that's football. You know, we need all three phases to

186
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: be in cahous at the same time, offensively, defensively and

187
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: special teams. And anytime that that opportunity laps, then you

188
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: know you're gonna have what you've seen on Thursday. And

189
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: we've had games and I'm not gonna necessarily go back

190
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: and and and say, we've had games where we have

191
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: two out of the three perform and and and just

192
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: like Thursday and you got the result. We had one

193
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: out of the three perform And we've seen games with

194
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: all three of them all performed well, and we know

195
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: how that can look. So that's that's that's why you practice,

196
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: That's why you anticipate. That's why you, you know, have

197
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: the courage to say, man, look we're gonna get a

198
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: better each and every time, because that's what's going to happen.

199
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: You know, you don't go into a game and say

200
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get your ass beat. No, you know you're

201
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: gonna go into the game saying you're gonna be beating

202
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: the ass, right and and and that's that's our mentality.

203
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's there's something vision right now. I'm not

204
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: sure what's being said in the fan base. I always

205
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: can assume and things like that. It's you guys this

206
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: job to kind of probe and pick and things like that,

207
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: and I respect that. But yeah, at the same time.

208
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: You got guys in this locker room, including myself, that's

209
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: willing to do whatever it takes to win a football game.

210
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: And when you're gonna don't get the outcome that you're

211
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 1: desperately searching for, yeah it hurts. Yeah, you take it personal. Yeah,

212
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: you know you you you you needed time to kind

213
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: of debrief. But for me to sit up here and

214
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: throw a person that I that I you know, admire,

215
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, and Josh kind of the bus to say,

216
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, you should have called for a passage. Now,

217
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. Man, I'm not gonna do that,

218
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, because I know just as much as as

219
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: the energy that I that I know goes into me

220
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: wanting to win, I know Josh shares that same thing,

221
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and I know he wants to put this team in

222
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: the best situation to win. And uh, that's only thing

223
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: we can ask for. He is not trying to create division.

224
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: He's he's your he's your biggest fan around here. When

225
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: you when you do, when you do get your new home,

226
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be waiting in the in the bathroom, hiding

227
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: out for you to arrive. I mean, he's no, no, no, no,

228
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: let's let me. Let me, let me, let me say this.

229
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not barking at Wiggy. I think Wiggy

230
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: was was is a person that I appreciate, even you know,

231
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: obviously I appreciate you know, he's been a big advocate

232
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: for me. But I'm just just use the question that

233
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: he asked to kind of nip a lot of things

234
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: in the bud from other people. And you know who

235
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: those other people are. You may be one of those

236
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: other people. And I'm not saying this ground I know.

237
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's a lot of things that's being said. Man.

238
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: I do not want I do not want the thought

239
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: or the theory to think that that hasn't been this

240
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: must win attitude since week six. And yeah, we've we've

241
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: come on up short, We've we've did things that we

242
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: know we shouldn't have done. And yeah, but you still

243
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: cannot negate the fact that guys are busting their tails

244
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: with preparation weekend and week out and doing things going

245
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: over and beyond. We're just not getting the results that

246
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: that that we're needing. And that's that's life. You know

247
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: what happens when you when when you studied so hard

248
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: for an exam and you don't get the grade, you

249
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: don't get the grade that you're that you're searching for

250
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: or you know, X, y Z. You know what I'm

251
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: saying there, there's been my practice habits this year has

252
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: has has been more anticified than any other time in

253
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: my life. I've been playing this game since I was

254
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: six seven years old, and I've never cared about practice

255
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: as much as I've cared about practice since I've been

256
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: in New England and and and you can't say just

257
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: because you don't practice good, you don't play good, because

258
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: that hasn't been the case. My practice habits has has

259
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: has has increased from from watching film to caring about

260
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, each and every rep to you know, working out,

261
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: taking on the things that you have to do on

262
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: and off the field, from nutrition to rehab and everything else.

263
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: And for our record to be six and seven right now, yes,

264
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: it's extremely frustrating. But you know, with three games left

265
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: in the phone, what am I going to stop my preparation? No,

266
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: if anything else, You're gonna try to do other things

267
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: to try to you know, find ways to grit and

268
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: grind to win out and what I do know about

269
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: you know this franchise and in this city and in

270
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: the expectation is that's that's the way you do it.

271
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: You gotta just find ways to win. And that's what

272
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: we're going to try to do. Um. Speaking of this franchise,

273
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Patriots teams have have struggled sometimes in Miami over the years. Um,

274
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: how how have you ended up playing down there? I

275
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: just want to win. I don't I don't care. I'm

276
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: not going through no all for that, you know what

277
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm going basically these this next, this next

278
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: opportunity ain't going to pretty much right down history for

279
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: what I can do. You know, I could care less

280
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: what was done in the in the past. I could

281
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: care less how my you know, performances was. I could

282
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: care less what they done. You know, look on Monday night,

283
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: it's everything is kind of a clear slate and we're

284
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: just gonna make make it do what to do? Well,

285
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: what do you think it to us? So far? As

286
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback, it's been great. It's been great. I a peak,

287
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: a peak. I mean, I think we all were watching

288
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs yesterday. Um. You know, so, for for what

289
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: it's worth, he's been doing good. You know, it's so

290
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: much on so much on you know, a rookie quarterback

291
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: with the demand of how to prepare, how to play,

292
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, and I remember going through that whole transition,

293
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: and for me, it was it was extremely different because

294
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: I never was in a place more than two years,

295
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, throughout my maturation as a player. Now, obviously

296
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: I went to Florida, then I transferred there, spent a

297
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: year in junior college, and then I spent another year

298
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: at Auburn. Had a lot of success in both places,

299
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: but I was only there for a year. So my

300
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: relationship building, you know, kind of attributes kind of suck.

301
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: And I didn't know necessarily was I was afraid of

302
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: attaching to people because I knew I was going to move,

303
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, almost like that that kid that moves a

304
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: lot of high school. So when I finally got into

305
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,000
