16
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 7: us today. We're here to discuss the free Asian acquisitions

17
00:01:22,598 --> 00:01:27,678
Speaker 7: we've made and to introduce you to these players who

18
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 7: have signed their contract today. And I just personally, I'm

19
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,158
Speaker 7: very excited about what's coming. And I've been told I

20
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 7: should calm down.

21
00:01:41,438 --> 00:01:41,518
Speaker 6: But.

22
00:01:44,639 --> 00:01:48,839
Speaker 7: I'd be remiss if I didn't first acknowledge a departure.

23
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:54,599
Speaker 7: Today we released our two time Super Bowl champion and

24
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:58,999
Speaker 7: one of my favorite players ever to come through our

25
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:03,679
Speaker 7: locker room, David Andrews. David's been an integral part of

26
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 7: the Patriots for the past decade, including the past eight years.

27
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:14,439
Speaker 7: He was a captain of the team, and he was

28
00:02:14,679 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 7: just not a leader in the locker room, but he

29
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 7: was an outstanding individual in the community and very special

30
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,719
Speaker 7: on a personal level. I was able to spend time

31
00:02:29,799 --> 00:02:35,599
Speaker 7: with him him with David and his incredible wife McKenzie

32
00:02:36,358 --> 00:02:40,319
Speaker 7: on a trip to the Holy Land and really got

33
00:02:40,359 --> 00:02:44,759
Speaker 7: to know them very well five or six years ago,

34
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 7: and just a very special guy. And it's the hot

35
00:02:51,079 --> 00:02:55,719
Speaker 7: part of this business when you have to release people.

36
00:02:59,359 --> 00:03:02,999
Speaker 7: But as we look ahead and continue to build for

37
00:03:03,079 --> 00:03:07,559
Speaker 7: the future, we've made some wonderful key additions to this

38
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 7: team and I'm happy to welcome them to the Patriot

39
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:18,439
Speaker 7: family and actually looking forward to see the impact they're

40
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 7: going to have, hopefully.

41
00:03:19,959 --> 00:03:21,559
Speaker 6: On game day.

42
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:27,319
Speaker 7: We are committed, We are really committed to build a

43
00:03:27,359 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 7: team which all of our fans can be proud of.

44
00:03:30,758 --> 00:03:33,759
Speaker 7: I was saying to one of the players, you know,

45
00:03:35,119 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 7: I sat for the thirty odd years and went to

46
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:44,319
Speaker 7: the four stadiums and came here in seventy one. That

47
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:49,679
Speaker 7: was the first time about season tickets, and really, you know,

48
00:03:49,839 --> 00:03:54,079
Speaker 7: appreciate how special this team is. And I've been so

49
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:59,279
Speaker 7: honored to be able to buy an NFL team in

50
00:03:59,359 --> 00:04:04,519
Speaker 7: my hometown, and so I understand what the fans want.

51
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:11,599
Speaker 7: And I'll just tell you I'm very excited about the

52
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:15,879
Speaker 7: people we've brought in here, and I just hope we

53
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 7: really perform come when the season starts. So I'm gonna

54
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:27,678
Speaker 7: ask Elliott to come and discuss the players who have signed,

55
00:04:27,719 --> 00:04:33,439
Speaker 7: and then Mike and the players will be available as

56
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 7: well for any questions afterwards.

57
00:04:36,318 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 6: So Elliott, do you want to.

58
00:04:46,558 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 8: Well, just to echo Robert, this is an exciting time,

59
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 8: you know, for exciting players that we've signed are here.

60
00:04:54,198 --> 00:04:57,079
Speaker 8: Harold Lander was here yesterday. We've got some guys coming

61
00:04:57,119 --> 00:05:01,319
Speaker 8: in tomorrow. Josh Dobbs is coming in, Mac Hollins, Jalen Hawkins,

62
00:05:01,318 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 8: Austin Hooper, and Kyrie's Tonga. And there's still more work

63
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,199
Speaker 8: to be done. Obviously, we're not finished. We still have

64
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,999
Speaker 8: some more needs to fill. Just wanted to echo Robert

65
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 8: again and say thank you to David Andrews for everything,

66
00:05:15,599 --> 00:05:18,959
Speaker 8: as well as Dietrich Wise, Jonathan Jones, Jacobe Brissette who

67
00:05:18,958 --> 00:05:22,318
Speaker 8: have moved on and for all their contributions last year

68
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:26,879
Speaker 8: and over the years. Wanted to thank Ownership for all

69
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 8: their unwavering support, you know, anything we needed the whole time.

70
00:05:31,558 --> 00:05:35,079
Speaker 8: They've been nothing but supportive to us working with the

71
00:05:35,078 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 8: coaching staff. You know, it's difficult for a coaching staff

72
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 8: to come in. They're putting in new schemes, getting to

73
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:45,959
Speaker 8: know each other, work together, and you know, they've all

74
00:05:45,999 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 8: all the free agents. I mean they've been over backwards

75
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:52,439
Speaker 8: for the personnel department to identify the free agents and

76
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:54,519
Speaker 8: other guys on teams that have.

77
00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:55,439
Speaker 6: Been able to help us.

78
00:05:57,359 --> 00:06:00,878
Speaker 8: Thank you, Thank you to the pro scouting staff, Richard Miller,

79
00:06:00,958 --> 00:06:03,759
Speaker 8: Nancy Meyer. Matt grow has taking a bigger role in

80
00:06:03,799 --> 00:06:07,399
Speaker 8: the contract negotiation world and he really excelled this year

81
00:06:07,558 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 8: so far on that and we expect that to continue.

82
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 8: And with that being said, just want to discuss the

83
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 8: four guys that are here, Milton Williams, Morgan Moses, Robert Spallane, CD,

84
00:06:18,678 --> 00:06:23,759
Speaker 8: Carlton Davis, you know, just just guys that we've targeted

85
00:06:23,799 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 8: over the years, veterans, professionals. There was definitely an emphasis

86
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 8: on on good people, good players, culture changers, difference makers,

87
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:38,439
Speaker 8: and I think these four guys really exemplify that as

88
00:06:38,438 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 8: well as Harold Landry, who was here yesterday and he

89
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 8: had to return to his family vacation. So you know,

90
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 8: starting over here CD. I was in Cleveland when CD

91
00:06:50,159 --> 00:06:50,959
Speaker 8: came out in the draft.

92
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:52,959
Speaker 9: I tried really really hard.

93
00:06:52,719 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 8: To get us to pick him, and you know, got

94
00:06:54,919 --> 00:06:58,079
Speaker 8: vetoed on that one. But ever since then have followed

95
00:06:58,078 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 8: his career, you know, when he's been available, every time

96
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 8: we've tried to get him, and now we finally were

97
00:07:03,799 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 8: able to make that happen. So I'm excited about that.

98
00:07:07,119 --> 00:07:10,959
Speaker 8: Robert just a tremendous story. Mini camp tryout in with

99
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:13,479
Speaker 8: the Tennessee Titans, didn't have a free agent contract after

100
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:20,158
Speaker 8: the draft, made the team practice squad starter, and then

101
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:22,719
Speaker 8: you know, had over one hundred and forty tackles each

102
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:27,199
Speaker 8: of the last two seasons. Morgan Moses has been a

103
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 8: right tackle since the moment he was drafted.

104
00:07:30,719 --> 00:07:31,598
Speaker 9: Has played.

105
00:07:32,799 --> 00:07:38,199
Speaker 8: You know, a ton of starts, physical, tough, just a professional,

106
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:41,719
Speaker 8: very consistent run game, pass game, all that. And then

107
00:07:41,719 --> 00:07:44,399
Speaker 8: Milton Williams, you know, really has come on in the.

108
00:07:44,359 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 5: Last couple of years.

109
00:07:45,159 --> 00:07:45,799
Speaker 6: Here.

110
00:07:46,239 --> 00:07:47,919
Speaker 8: Excited about what he can do for us on the

111
00:07:47,958 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 8: interior of the defensive line, you know, pass, rush, run, defense,

112
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:55,158
Speaker 8: and all these guys again are just tremendous workers and

113
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 8: we couldn't be more excited that they're joining our team

114
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:02,079
Speaker 8: and what's moving forward here. So with that being said,

115
00:08:02,799 --> 00:08:07,039
Speaker 8: you would like to introduce coach Rabel, and he's got

116
00:08:07,119 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 8: some remarks as well, So I appreciate.

117
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:17,759
Speaker 5: That, appreciate that, Elliott.

Speaker 4: I want to thank Robert and Jonathan's not able to

119
00:08:21,359 --> 00:08:23,879
Speaker 4: be here today, but I want to thank them on

120
00:08:23,958 --> 00:08:26,519
Speaker 4: behalf of just the coaching staff. I think the personnel

121
00:08:27,359 --> 00:08:30,439
Speaker 4: an echo Elliott's comments just about the support and the

122
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:35,279
Speaker 4: commitment that they've made just in getting this process and

123
00:08:35,319 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: this just being able to build a program every single

124
00:08:39,719 --> 00:08:42,919
Speaker 4: day and allowing us to have the resources that we've

125
00:08:42,958 --> 00:08:46,159
Speaker 4: needed to do that to provide our players with everything

126
00:08:46,199 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 4: that they need to be successful on and off the field.

127
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:53,039
Speaker 4: So thank you, you know, thank you Robert. I want

Speaker 5: But I want to welcome you guys. I want to

161
00:10:36,439 --> 00:10:36,799

Speaker 6: Guys are our.

Speaker 4: Patriot family, and I think that we were all excited

164
00:10:40,999 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 4: about getting you as players, but then when we met

165
00:10:45,599 --> 00:10:47,519
Speaker 4: in the in the hallway and met your families, we're

166
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,919
Speaker 4: even more excited.

167
00:10:49,999 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 5: To meet your support system and understand.

168
00:10:52,119 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 6: Why you guys are the way you are.

169
00:10:53,719 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 4: And you know we're gonna We're gonna support the things

170
00:10:57,079 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 4: and the people that are important in your life.

171
00:10:59,119 --> 00:11:00,039
Speaker 5: That's what we believe in.

172
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:04,039
Speaker 4: We believe in making connections and making sure that then

173
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,519
Speaker 4: when they come to work here that we're doing everything

174
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:08,759
Speaker 4: we can so that we can we can put the

175
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 4: product on the field.

176
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 5: That Robert talked about.

177
00:11:10,839 --> 00:11:13,479
Speaker 4: That's a that's a championship product, and that starts by

178
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 4: investing in people. And and I'm confident that we got

179
00:11:17,319 --> 00:11:19,759
Speaker 4: the right people and then now it's our job to

180
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:22,399
Speaker 4: put them in the right places UH as players to

181
00:11:22,439 --> 00:11:24,279
Speaker 4: get the best out of them.

182
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:29,359
Speaker 5: Until I'm excited to start that process so that that

183
00:11:29,599 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 5: UH I'll.

184
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,519
Speaker 4: I guess I'll take a few co UH questions as

185
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:34,119
Speaker 4: it relates to some of the players, and then what

186
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 4: we plan on doing going forward, Karen.

187
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:41,999
Speaker 5: I'm on Karen.

188
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:48,159
Speaker 10: In prior meetings with us, you've talked about UH wanting

189
00:11:48,199 --> 00:11:51,999
Speaker 10: to support Drake Bay and protecting him with an improved

190
00:11:52,199 --> 00:11:53,919
Speaker 10: offensive line.

191
00:11:54,119 --> 00:11:54,359
Speaker 9: UH.

192
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 10: With the news of the release of David Andrews today,

193
00:11:59,999 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 10: there now appear multiple holes to fill. Have things not

194
00:12:05,239 --> 00:12:09,159
Speaker 10: gone according to plan? And are you now forced to

195
00:12:09,239 --> 00:12:10,478
Speaker 10: draft for need.

196
00:12:10,719 --> 00:12:11,399
Speaker 11: In that area?

197
00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 5: No, I think that there's a lot there.

198
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:13,958
Speaker 12: Karen.

199
00:12:15,079 --> 00:12:17,639
Speaker 4: You mentioned David and want to thank him, you know,

200
00:12:17,719 --> 00:12:21,039
Speaker 4: having played at this organization, not quite as long as

201
00:12:21,119 --> 00:12:23,799
Speaker 4: he had, but but being here. I want to thank

202
00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:26,279
Speaker 4: him for that, for for being here and and and

203
00:12:26,319 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 4: carrying on a tradition that so many great players before

204
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:33,159
Speaker 4: him had. We're going to continue to support as Elliott.

205
00:12:33,199 --> 00:12:35,159
Speaker 4: Elliott mentioned the needs that we feel like we're on

206
00:12:35,199 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 4: the team and we'll target the offensive line. There's still

207
00:12:39,479 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 4: quite a bit of time before we get to the draft.

208
00:12:43,439 --> 00:12:45,919
Speaker 4: But but there's also you know, we we don't want

209
00:12:45,959 --> 00:12:49,159
Speaker 4: to just be careless, right we talked about there's a difference.

210
00:12:49,359 --> 00:12:50,799
Speaker 5: We want our players to play aggressive.

211
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,919
Speaker 4: We don't want them to play reckless, and so we

212
00:12:53,199 --> 00:12:55,799
Speaker 4: don't want to be reckless through this process. We want

213
00:12:55,839 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 4: to be very intentional with the with the people that

214
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:02,279
Speaker 4: we bring on this football team, and we'll we'll continue

215
00:13:02,319 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 4: to target all those needs that we feel like and

216
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:05,799
Speaker 4: the players that can help us.

217
00:13:06,239 --> 00:13:09,279
Speaker 6: Thank you, hey, Mike.

218
00:13:09,999 --> 00:13:12,239
Speaker 13: When with Milton Williams, there was a report that he

219
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:13,999
Speaker 13: was close to signing to another team, and I think

220
00:13:14,039 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 13: like an hour or so later, you know, you guys

221
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:17,999
Speaker 13: finalized to deal with him. Can you take us through

222
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:19,879
Speaker 13: the emotions of sort of that swing and what was

223
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:22,639
Speaker 13: it about Milton that made you guys feel comfortable.

224
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,838
Speaker 12: To give him the deal you did? Well.

225
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:28,119
Speaker 4: I think it's always about the entire package. When you

226
00:13:28,119 --> 00:13:30,999
Speaker 4: look at compensation, right, it's the body of work, it's

227
00:13:31,079 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 4: the what they're going to do for us. We always

228
00:13:34,319 --> 00:13:38,039
Speaker 4: want to be able to, you know, not rely on

229
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 4: on past performances.

230
00:13:40,599 --> 00:13:41,359
Speaker 5: But that was something.

231
00:13:41,359 --> 00:13:43,479
Speaker 4: There's a there's a high ceiling and a great vision

232
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:47,039
Speaker 4: about the person, the effort, the skill set, you know,

233
00:13:47,959 --> 00:13:49,799
Speaker 4: the speed in which he plays.

234
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:50,919
Speaker 5: There's a there's a power.

235
00:13:52,119 --> 00:13:55,519
Speaker 4: So certainly there's an aggressiveness and being able to add

236
00:13:55,599 --> 00:13:58,639
Speaker 4: him to our defensive line is something that was really exciting,

237
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:02,159
Speaker 4: you know. But you talk about the character and hopefully

238
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:04,799
Speaker 4: we're going to be able to I hope you want

239
00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:08,119
Speaker 4: to play more than then they're played in Philadelphia, and

240
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 4: I know that you guys are extremely successful, but we

241
00:14:10,359 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 4: want to play him a little bit more than that,

242
00:14:12,239 --> 00:14:13,239
Speaker 4: and hope we can do that.

243
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:16,759
Speaker 5: You know, you just try to.

244
00:14:18,599 --> 00:14:20,359
Speaker 4: You do your best in a short amount of time

245
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:25,039
Speaker 4: to make a connection with the player and kind of

246
00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:27,199
Speaker 4: what we are right, we don't want to sell anything

247
00:14:27,319 --> 00:14:29,519
Speaker 4: Like what we want to sell is just who we are.

248
00:14:29,599 --> 00:14:31,839
Speaker 5: It's not we want them to want to be here.

249
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:32,959
Speaker 5: And then if they want to.

250
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:36,119
Speaker 4: Be here and we want them, we'll we'll figure out

251
00:14:36,119 --> 00:14:38,839
Speaker 4: a way to make it work contractually. But they we

252
00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:42,079
Speaker 4: want people and players that want to be here, that

253
00:14:42,199 --> 00:14:44,519
Speaker 4: want to be a part of what we're doing. And

254
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:46,759
Speaker 4: that's what these guys are and there'll be more that

255
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:52,559
Speaker 4: that come along after them.

256
00:14:52,599 --> 00:14:56,079
Speaker 14: Hey, Mike uh Tom, you mentioned you didn't want to

257
00:14:56,079 --> 00:14:59,479
Speaker 14: be selling people, but the reality of having had two

258
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:02,239
Speaker 14: unsuccessful seasons and then ending up at the top of

259
00:15:02,239 --> 00:15:03,799
Speaker 14: the draft, you had to make some kind of a

260
00:15:04,439 --> 00:15:07,359
Speaker 14: pitch to convince guys and we'll certainly ask them about

261
00:15:07,359 --> 00:15:09,719
Speaker 14: it too. But what was your main pitch to say, Hey,

262
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:14,119
Speaker 14: I know it on paper has not been positive the

263
00:15:14,239 --> 00:15:16,039
Speaker 14: last two years, but this is what we're building.

264
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:16,839
Speaker 6: What was what was the.

265
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:20,279
Speaker 14: Main thing you were articulating to these guys and convincing them.

266
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:23,319
Speaker 4: I mean, just just who we are as people that

267
00:15:23,359 --> 00:15:25,559
Speaker 4: we're gonna we're gonna care about them, We're gonna push

268
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:29,319
Speaker 4: them about the team. Right, you have to target the

269
00:15:29,359 --> 00:15:32,279
Speaker 4: right player, you know, making sure that that our vision

270
00:15:32,319 --> 00:15:35,599
Speaker 4: and want them to help us build a program that

271
00:15:35,599 --> 00:15:37,799
Speaker 4: that when the players walk back in here on April seventh,

272
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:40,239
Speaker 4: that they're proud of that they want to protect that

273
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:44,879
Speaker 4: they call their own. You know, just what we've we've done,

274
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:47,479
Speaker 4: and what we the relationships that we try to make,

275
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:51,599
Speaker 4: and what we want to build the entire player around,

276
00:15:51,599 --> 00:15:53,279
Speaker 4: and then put them in good spots. And I think

277
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:57,199
Speaker 4: we've been able to to put some players, specifically Milton,

278
00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:00,319
Speaker 4: put players like that in our history of coaching and

279
00:16:00,359 --> 00:16:02,999
Speaker 4: good spots to be productive and make players that can

280
00:16:03,079 --> 00:16:03,719
Speaker 4: help the team win.

281
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:07,879
Speaker 5: Hi, Mike, Hi, Sophie.

282
00:16:08,199 --> 00:16:10,199
Speaker 15: I was just curious there were the reports about you

283
00:16:10,199 --> 00:16:12,999
Speaker 15: guys going after Chris god when obviously he RESIGND with

284
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:16,119
Speaker 15: Tampa Bay. I'm curious what your thoughts are, what your

285
00:16:16,119 --> 00:16:18,279
Speaker 15: plan is at the wide receiver position, and how you

286
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,879
Speaker 15: plan to address that, whether it's free agency or the draft.

287
00:16:22,319 --> 00:16:24,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not going to talk about any of the players.

288
00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:26,439
Speaker 4: Are the ones that are right here and the ones

289
00:16:26,479 --> 00:16:30,039
Speaker 4: that are going to currently on our football team. Well,

290
00:16:30,239 --> 00:16:32,279
Speaker 4: continue to target Matt Collins will be in here tomorrow.

291
00:16:32,319 --> 00:16:36,079
Speaker 4: He's a wide receiver, you know. But we'll continue to

292
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:39,319
Speaker 4: look at the wide receiver position as it relates through

293
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:45,479
Speaker 4: free agency, explore every option uh with other teams, and potentially,

294
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:47,719
Speaker 4: you know, then we'll get to the point where we're

295
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:49,879
Speaker 4: where we're looking in the draft. And there's just a

296
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,239
Speaker 4: lot of time. And I know that everybody's like it's

297
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,559
Speaker 4: over at free agency. It's it's never over. And and

298
00:16:54,719 --> 00:16:57,279
Speaker 4: Zoe's you know, wherever Alonso is, I don't know, but

299
00:16:57,359 --> 00:17:00,839
Speaker 4: he keeps reminding me and I think everybody else that

300
00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:02,759
Speaker 4: because he's been around a lot of times. He's like,

301
00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:05,478
Speaker 4: there's players that are going to come available, whether it

302
00:17:05,479 --> 00:17:08,398
Speaker 4: be now or whether it be in May or after

303
00:17:08,479 --> 00:17:11,238
Speaker 4: training camp. Like it's just he's like, I've seen it

304
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,759
Speaker 4: enough to know that there's going to be someone that's

305
00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 4: currently not on our roster that's going to help us

306
00:17:15,879 --> 00:17:17,438
Speaker 4: win a game this year.

307
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:19,559
Speaker 5: We just he's not in Foxboro.

308
00:17:24,239 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 16: Hey, Mike, Uh, what do you remember about Robert Spulane

309
00:17:26,719 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 16: when he first came to Tennessee as a trial player

310
00:17:30,199 --> 00:17:31,678
Speaker 16: and just what do you think about the crew that

311
00:17:31,678 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 16: he's put together since then?

312
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:36,238
Speaker 5: Well, I mean it was just you couldn't you know.

313
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:39,079
Speaker 4: We went out to practice and he didn't make any

314
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,198
Speaker 4: mental mayors. He was athletic, he was excellent in this

315
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:45,599
Speaker 4: open field tackling drill. Did the same thing the next day,

316
00:17:45,678 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 4: did the same thing on Sunday. You know, it got

317
00:17:48,158 --> 00:17:49,918
Speaker 4: to be a joke where we would just keep throwing

318
00:17:49,958 --> 00:17:51,438
Speaker 4: them in and be like, hey, let's see if somebody

319
00:17:51,438 --> 00:17:55,319
Speaker 4: can make Splaine miss. And then, you know, John Robinson

320
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: and I were just like, we have to have him

321
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,799
Speaker 4: on the football team. And I think he's earned the

322
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:02,718
Speaker 4: right to be here based on those three days.

323
00:18:02,718 --> 00:18:05,599
Speaker 5: And you know, Robert may or may.

324
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:08,319
Speaker 4: Not share this story, but he got We told him

325
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:09,718
Speaker 4: and it was on Mother's Day and he got to

326
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:10,599
Speaker 4: call his mom and it.

327
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:13,958
Speaker 5: Was you know, it was pretty special, you know, especially.

328
00:18:13,638 --> 00:18:15,678
Speaker 4: For me being a young football coach or a young

329
00:18:15,718 --> 00:18:18,718
Speaker 4: head coach to be able to see a player that

330
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:21,318
Speaker 4: had earned the right like we didn't hand him anything like.

331
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,599
Speaker 4: That's what we want for every single player on our team.

332
00:18:23,879 --> 00:18:25,758
Speaker 4: We want them to earn everything.

333
00:18:25,398 --> 00:18:25,999
Speaker 6: That they get.

334
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:29,318
Speaker 4: And that was an example of what he earned his

335
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,999
Speaker 4: opportunity and the National Football League. So that's no surprise

336
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 4: of the career that he's had based on how it started.

337
00:18:38,158 --> 00:18:41,038
Speaker 17: Hey, Mike, going back to Karen's question regarding David in

338
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,638
Speaker 17: the offensive line, as you look to build a winning

339
00:18:43,678 --> 00:18:46,038
Speaker 17: culture for an a time captain who's been here, what

340
00:18:46,198 --> 00:18:51,079
Speaker 17: made releasing him in the best interest of the team.

341
00:18:51,158 --> 00:18:54,678
Speaker 4: Well, I think we talk about leadership, and Elliott mentioned

342
00:18:54,678 --> 00:18:59,918
Speaker 4: a few other players as it relates to Jonathan Jones

343
00:18:59,958 --> 00:19:05,559
Speaker 4: and Dietrich Wise and and you know, David happy for

344
00:19:05,718 --> 00:19:09,718
Speaker 4: those guys that you know are found other places, And

345
00:19:10,158 --> 00:19:12,718
Speaker 4: there would be no restriction on leadership as far as

346
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:16,238
Speaker 4: age or experience, like every one of our players that

347
00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 4: walks in here or our coaches can can act as

348
00:19:18,879 --> 00:19:23,238
Speaker 4: a leader, you know. So I think when you go

349
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,279
Speaker 4: through personnel decisions, there's a lot of things that we'll

350
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:36,158
Speaker 4: talk about, right, age ability, durability, production, vision, and so

351
00:19:36,238 --> 00:19:38,678
Speaker 4: I would say that, you know, anytime we talk about

352
00:19:38,718 --> 00:19:41,318
Speaker 4: personnel decisions, that those are gonna be some of the

353
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,519
Speaker 4: things that that Ellie and I.

354
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:43,678
Speaker 5: Will talk about.

355
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:50,798
Speaker 1: So hey, Mike, just on the timing with David, is

356
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:52,718
Speaker 1: that was it injury related for him?

357
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 5: He obviously was hurt last year.

358
00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:58,038
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna get into a lot of details and specifics.

359
00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:01,038
Speaker 4: I wanna try to, you know, celebrate these players that

360
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 4: we have here on this team that we're gonna be.

361
00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:03,678
Speaker 6: Moving forward with.

362
00:20:04,678 --> 00:20:08,758
Speaker 4: Robert Elliott you know, touched on on David, but you know,

363
00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 4: we're just trying to trying to move forward here and

364
00:20:11,718 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 4: and and continue to sign and add players that we

365
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,599
Speaker 4: feel like are gonna help us uh win and and

366
00:20:16,638 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 4: s and really start preparing at April seventh last.

367
00:20:20,238 --> 00:20:28,678
Speaker 18: Year, how much of it all did maybe the previous

368
00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:31,599
Speaker 18: feeling of familiar already have with some of these guys,

369
00:20:31,638 --> 00:20:33,958
Speaker 18: not just you, but the coaching the extended to coaching

370
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:35,799
Speaker 18: staff have In terms.

371
00:20:35,478 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 4: Of I don't know how you could do free agency

372
00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:40,839
Speaker 4: any any differently, Like I really don't Just the timing

373
00:20:40,958 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 4: that's involved with a lot of this stuff.

374
00:20:44,879 --> 00:20:46,039
Speaker 5: You know, it's.

375
00:20:45,879 --> 00:20:49,319
Speaker 4: Important to me and Roberts and trusted Elliott and myself

376
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 4: to bring the right people onto this football team. And

377
00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:55,318
Speaker 4: so if we have coaches that we trust and then

378
00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:58,758
Speaker 4: believe in that have been with players, we have to

379
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:01,638
Speaker 4: take that into consideration. If there's players at Elliott or

380
00:21:01,678 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 4: anybody else in the personnel department have had or myself,

381
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:09,638
Speaker 4: I think that that's critical, you know, I mean, we

382
00:21:09,718 --> 00:21:12,158
Speaker 4: have to evaluate the tape. That's that's the first thing

383
00:21:12,198 --> 00:21:14,839
Speaker 4: we do, Like we watch the tape, and then it's

384
00:21:15,678 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 4: what what is this person? Who are we going to

385
00:21:17,918 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: get every single day? Because there's gonna be times in

386
00:21:20,958 --> 00:21:24,438
Speaker 4: every football season that that it's not going well. And

387
00:21:24,478 --> 00:21:26,999
Speaker 4: I've seen it from these players that they're not going anywhere.

388
00:21:27,198 --> 00:21:28,638
Speaker 4: And the other ones that we bring in and the

389
00:21:28,678 --> 00:21:30,638
Speaker 4: other ones that are down in that locker room right now,

390
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 4: like they're resilient. They're kno going to back down when

391
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:36,799
Speaker 4: things aren't bad. They can handle.

392
00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:40,918
Speaker 5: Adversity, they'll attack adversity. So that's what the idea is.

393
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:43,638
Speaker 4: And it really helps when you know somebody or a

394
00:21:43,678 --> 00:21:47,198
Speaker 4: coach or a trusted personnel member has been with that player.

395
00:21:47,398 --> 00:21:51,599
Speaker 5: It's it's just hard, you know, I Mean, that's it's important.

396
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 19: Mike how do you view Carlton's skill set and how

397
00:21:56,158 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 19: it pairs with Christian unlocking what you might be able

398
00:22:00,238 --> 00:22:01,319
Speaker 19: to do defensively?

399
00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:04,238
Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully we can just play cat coverage like you

400
00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 4: got that cat, I got this cat, and we can

401
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 4: go to work. So just just an aggressive st I mean,

402
00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:13,438
Speaker 4: just the the I would say, the thing I appreciate

403
00:22:13,438 --> 00:22:17,918
Speaker 4: about watching CD is that they may catch a ball

404
00:22:17,958 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 4: on him, he just lines back up and he competes

405
00:22:20,478 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 4: and he challenges and he tries to play aggressive and

406
00:22:24,478 --> 00:22:27,799
Speaker 4: there's a there's a play style that we embrace.

407
00:22:28,158 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 5: And so corners are.

408
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 4: It's a tough position in the National Football League, right,

409
00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:35,638
Speaker 4: and so they're going to have that passes that are

410
00:22:35,638 --> 00:22:38,518
Speaker 4: caught on them. It's can they line back up the

411
00:22:38,638 --> 00:22:41,519
Speaker 4: next snap and challenge and compete and get their hand

412
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:43,839
Speaker 4: on the next football And that would be I would say.

413
00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 4: Outside of his physical skill set is the mental makeup.

414
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 4: And Morgan, we didn't you get a follow up now

415
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 4: and everybody else had to follow up.

416
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,759
Speaker 19: I just want to touch on Morgan because the four

417
00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 19: guys are here yep, and we didn't touch What does

418
00:22:56,438 --> 00:22:57,638
Speaker 19: he bring well?

419
00:22:57,678 --> 00:23:03,638
Speaker 4: I think just a great veteran leadership, you know, tell

420
00:23:03,718 --> 00:23:06,839
Speaker 4: us funny story. After we were able to commit, we

421
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:10,638
Speaker 4: were able to have a conversation and so I face

422
00:23:10,678 --> 00:23:12,599
Speaker 4: timmed him with the boys. You've got three boys a

423
00:23:12,638 --> 00:23:15,279
Speaker 4: too a here you'll see, but they're all eating candy.

424
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:17,398
Speaker 4: And I said, oh, you guys are lucky. It's to celebrate,

425
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:18,999
Speaker 4: and he goes, don't worry. I'll have him out there

426
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:21,718
Speaker 4: working training at four o'clock after we get done eating

427
00:23:21,718 --> 00:23:24,518
Speaker 4: all this candy. And I'm like, man, can you just

428
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:26,319
Speaker 4: let him have a good time today, and he's like, nope,

429
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:28,758
Speaker 4: They're going out training at four o'clock and that's what

430
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:32,319
Speaker 4: we're going to do. So there's been a repeated experience

431
00:23:32,438 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 4: of taking care of his body, playing a demanding position

432
00:23:36,198 --> 00:23:39,198
Speaker 4: what he brings in the locker room. But again he

433
00:23:39,238 --> 00:23:42,518
Speaker 4: there's been a great product on the field with length, size,

434
00:23:43,638 --> 00:23:45,478
Speaker 4: and we were excited to add him and his family.

435
00:23:46,198 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: Thank you guys, And with that, I would now want

436

471
00:25:45,638 --> 00:25:47,519
Speaker 12: what I've gone to the game. And you know, it's

472
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 12: always good when you get a good coach like that

473
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:52,198
Speaker 12: to uh, you know, give you respect and acknowledge what

474
00:25:52,238 --> 00:25:55,599
Speaker 12: you do. So you know, I wasn't there for too long,

475
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,238
Speaker 12: so I can't write a book about it, but obviously

476
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 12: you know he I gave a good impression on him,

477
00:26:01,198 --> 00:26:03,758
Speaker 12: and he had a good impression for me.

478
00:26:05,478 --> 00:26:09,678
Speaker 13: On Daddy's take as the congratulations, h how do you

479
00:26:09,678 --> 00:26:11,279
Speaker 13: feel about Christian Zales.

480
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:12,519
Speaker 6: And how do you feel about teaming up with him

481
00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:13,239
Speaker 6: in the second day.

482
00:26:13,438 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 12: I'm excited, man, I'm excited.

483
00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:15,438
Speaker 9: Uh.

484
00:26:15,438 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 12: He's a young, great player. I've watched his film even

485
00:26:18,198 --> 00:26:21,599
Speaker 12: when he was coming out of college. UH watched his film.

486
00:26:21,638 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 12: I always kind of do a little background check on

487
00:26:24,158 --> 00:26:26,198
Speaker 12: the corners coming in the league. I guess it's a

488
00:26:26,238 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 12: competitive thing, but I.

489
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:28,958
Speaker 6: Liked his film.

490
00:26:28,999 --> 00:26:33,518
Speaker 12: He's long he's rangy, got good ball skills he's had.

491
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:35,478
Speaker 12: He had a really good year last year, in my opinion.

492
00:26:35,718 --> 00:26:40,319
Speaker 12: I didn't watch too money Patriots defensive tapes, but from

493
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,598
Speaker 12: what I've seen on the highlights, he looked like he

494
00:26:42,678 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 12: was playing good ball. And I'm always eager to match

495
00:26:46,198 --> 00:26:49,039
Speaker 12: up or just kind of team up with guys who

496
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,438
Speaker 12: has similar skill sets to me and can help push

497
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:54,398
Speaker 12: me in practice. And I could push him at practice,

498
00:26:54,438 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 12: and you know, it's always an iron as chopper ands iron,

499
00:26:57,718 --> 00:26:59,918
Speaker 12: So I'm excited for that. I'm excited to get to

500
00:26:59,918 --> 00:27:01,838
Speaker 12: practice with him, get to know him a little bit,

501
00:27:01,879 --> 00:27:03,918
Speaker 12: pick his brain, just kind of see how we can

502
00:27:03,958 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 12: help each other grow.

503
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 16: Carlton, I know that you were teammates with Tom Brady's

504
00:27:18,198 --> 00:27:20,559
Speaker 16: still a big deal around here. What do you remember

505
00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 16: about the time playing with him?

506
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:27,438
Speaker 12: Man, Tom was a great guy. I was just telling

507
00:27:27,478 --> 00:27:30,839
Speaker 12: somebody earlier today that I learned so much from him

508
00:27:30,879 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 12: and I didn't even have too many conversations with him,

509
00:27:33,238 --> 00:27:36,319
Speaker 12: but just how he carried hisself, how he went about

510
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 12: the game. He impacted us on the field and off

511
00:27:39,958 --> 00:27:44,278
Speaker 12: the field in Tampa, just from not just how serious

512
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,198
Speaker 12: he took practice and how focused he was, but also

513
00:27:47,398 --> 00:27:51,559
Speaker 12: how diligent he was in his recovery everything he did

514
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:54,718
Speaker 12: to continue to be the same guy every day, taking

515
00:27:54,718 --> 00:27:57,319
Speaker 12: care of his body, and he would give us little

516
00:27:57,319 --> 00:28:00,558
Speaker 12: tips on what to do and you know, just how

517
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:03,278
Speaker 12: to be a professional and how to be successful in

518
00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:06,079
Speaker 12: this league and in this game. So I'm always thankful

519
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,839
Speaker 12: for having to share locker room with him and having

520
00:28:08,879 --> 00:28:11,599
Speaker 12: to win games and win a championship with him. I

521
00:28:11,678 --> 00:28:14,958
Speaker 12: learned so much and I'm so I'm just grateful for

522
00:28:14,999 --> 00:28:16,319
Speaker 12: the opportunity.

523
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 6: Chris Price.

Speaker 18: You heard Mike talk a little bit about the pitch

526
00:28:21,839 --> 00:28:24,358
Speaker 18: to the free agents. What was the pitch like for

527
00:28:24,438 --> 00:28:27,198
Speaker 18: you in your experience talking to him talking to Eliot

528
00:28:27,478 --> 00:28:29,119

00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,278

537
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:03,038
Speaker 12: understanding the room I was coming into, Uh, the talent

Speaker 12: Not to say not to thrown you say it cause

553
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:48,199
Speaker 12: I know had like to twist things up and I

554
00:29:48,199 --> 00:29:50,399
Speaker 12: and I love Detroit. I would never want to throw

555
00:29:50,599 --> 00:29:53,639
Speaker 12: say the three one three. We had a a great

556
00:29:53,719 --> 00:29:56,839
Speaker 12: year and I I I know how this goes. But

557
00:29:57,359 --> 00:29:59,919
Speaker 12: you know, like I said, man, you know in this league,

558
00:29:59,959 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 12: there's a there's a short time here, and you wanna

559
00:30:01,999 --> 00:30:05,799
Speaker 12: make it really efficient. H and and and coming here.

560
00:30:05,879 --> 00:30:09,039
Speaker 12: I understand the opportunity here. I understand it's a rebuild.

561
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:12,839
Speaker 12: I understand that. You know, there's great coaches here, and

562
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:16,359
Speaker 12: you know Detroit has a a great thing going. But

563
00:30:16,359 --> 00:30:18,039
Speaker 12: I feel like we can have a great thing going here.

564
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:22,679
Speaker 17: Last question, may it Garylton, Welcome to New England.

565
00:30:22,919 --> 00:30:23,079
Speaker 12: Uh.

566
00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:25,119
Speaker 17: I wanted to ask you about the time you played here.

567
00:30:25,238 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 5: Described it as a historical place.

568
00:30:26,919 --> 00:30:27,919
Speaker 6: Obviously Tom came.

569
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:30,319
Speaker 17: Back that nineteen twenty twenty one to a tackle fast

570
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:30,799
Speaker 17: break up.

571
00:30:30,879 --> 00:30:32,839
Speaker 6: What do you remember about the environment.

572
00:30:32,479 --> 00:30:34,238
Speaker 12: In your one game here in the way, it was

573
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:37,639
Speaker 12: a crazy environment. One thing I do remember I was,

574
00:30:37,679 --> 00:30:40,998
Speaker 12: I told my choir here, so not something that I

575
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:43,758
Speaker 12: wanna remember, but I was having a good game up

576
00:30:43,839 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 12: until then, and the environment was electric. I had never

577
00:30:46,999 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 12: played here before, and I didn't know how it would

578
00:30:48,759 --> 00:30:53,558
Speaker 12: be coming coming here, you know. Uh, but it was

579
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:57,199
Speaker 12: like really really vibrant. Everybody was just I mean, obviously

580
00:30:57,238 --> 00:31:00,319
Speaker 12: Tom's coming back, so why wouldn't it be. But it

581
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,199
Speaker 12: it definitely impressed me. The crowd was so into it,

582
00:31:03,479 --> 00:31:05,359
Speaker 12: and it was like the lights just seemed a little

583
00:31:05,399 --> 00:31:07,518
Speaker 12: bit brighter. I don't know why I did. It seemed

584
00:31:07,479 --> 00:31:11,399
Speaker 12: a little bit brighter. But you know, I was impressed.

585
00:31:11,439 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 12: I was impressed. Uh the crowd was really into it.

586
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:16,359
Speaker 12: You could feel the love of football in the city.

587
00:31:17,238 --> 00:31:19,199
Speaker 12: I mean, I guess it helps that Tom came back

588
00:31:19,238 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 12: and he hadn't been back since he left, But uh, yeah,

589
00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:27,919
Speaker 12: I was impressed. Okay, thank you?

590
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:43,399
Speaker 11: How d your head you questions here in the middle this,

591
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:45,639
Speaker 11: or let let's start with how how the kids respond

592
00:31:45,719 --> 00:31:46,758
Speaker 11: to that workout before?

593
00:31:47,199 --> 00:31:48,399
Speaker 6: Uh?

594
00:31:48,639 --> 00:31:50,679
Speaker 22: Uh, they know if I gotta work out, they gotta

595
00:31:50,719 --> 00:31:53,518
Speaker 22: put they their own their own pockets too, So you know,

596
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:56,439
Speaker 22: it's part of being in the family business. So you know,

597
00:31:56,479 --> 00:31:59,159
Speaker 22: I try to raise men at home. You know, I

598
00:31:59,199 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 22: didn't have that when I was growing up that much.

599
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,599
Speaker 22: So being able to give that to them is vital

600
00:32:03,679 --> 00:32:05,798
Speaker 22: to my DNA. So just being able to have boys

601
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,199
Speaker 22: and and show them the way it's always been my

602
00:32:08,399 --> 00:32:09,278
Speaker 22: my my DNA.

603
00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:12,279
Speaker 19: And and to follow up, uh, what is it about

604
00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:14,079
Speaker 19: this opportunity.

605
00:32:13,639 --> 00:32:17,038
Speaker 22: That appeal to you know, obviously, you know, playing a

606
00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:19,639
Speaker 22: lot of ball over the course of my career, you know,

607
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:23,119
Speaker 22: going in year twelve, man, you know obviously the the

608
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 22: historic you know the history of being the Patriot, and obviously, man,

609
00:32:27,199 --> 00:32:29,599
Speaker 22: you know you I know the the question is coming about,

610
00:32:29,879 --> 00:32:32,318
Speaker 22: you know, what was the pitch of coming here? But

611
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:34,238
Speaker 22: when you got a guy like coach rabel Man, you

612
00:32:34,238 --> 00:32:35,839
Speaker 22: don't need a pitch man, you know, cause I know

613
00:32:35,879 --> 00:32:37,919
Speaker 22: how it is holding back the holding back for our

614
00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:40,559
Speaker 22: offensive line and d lineman out there. I practice when

615
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:43,599
Speaker 22: I'm holding my son's my son's bags or I'm coaching

616
00:32:43,639 --> 00:32:46,079
Speaker 22: his team, and and it hurts when you don't got

617
00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:49,238
Speaker 22: pads on. So you know, for a guy like that

618
00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 22: to go out there and do that, and obviously he's

619
00:32:51,479 --> 00:32:54,439
Speaker 22: won in most multiple advacets of his career, you know,

620
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:58,319
Speaker 22: and as a player and as a coach. So when

621
00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:00,879
Speaker 22: you got a guy that a leader of men that's

622
00:33:00,919 --> 00:33:03,159
Speaker 22: willing to to step aside and put hisself.

623
00:33:02,879 --> 00:33:04,758
Speaker 6: On the line for the better good for the team,

624
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:06,039
Speaker 6: it's an easy decision.

625
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:07,798
Speaker 3: Like your.

626
00:33:09,399 --> 00:33:11,599
Speaker 6: Or in it's a very young room right now.

627
00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:13,518
Speaker 14: I know there's still work that could be done to

628
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:14,159
Speaker 14: to fill the room.

629
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:16,279
Speaker 5: You're the you're in quot unquote.

630
00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:17,518
Speaker 6: The old guy, the veteran guy. How how O g

631
00:33:17,679 --> 00:33:18,159
Speaker 6: O g oh?

632
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:22,119
Speaker 5: I like, yeah, how can you.

633
00:33:22,159 --> 00:33:25,079
Speaker 6: Help those guys? You know it's been part of my DNA.

634
00:33:25,199 --> 00:33:26,838
Speaker 22: Man, you know, I had great vests when I came

635
00:33:26,879 --> 00:33:29,359
Speaker 22: into the league as Trent Williams and and guys like that.

636
00:33:29,439 --> 00:33:31,998
Speaker 22: And you know, one thing he always told me as

637
00:33:31,999 --> 00:33:33,839
Speaker 22: a player coming up through this league, man, make sure

638
00:33:33,879 --> 00:33:34,679
Speaker 22: you pass it down.

639
00:33:35,199 --> 00:33:36,758
Speaker 6: And that's been, you know, been a part of me.

640
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:39,439
Speaker 22: You know, obviously I had you know, last year, I

641
00:33:39,479 --> 00:33:41,919
Speaker 22: had Olu who was a first round draft pick, young guy,

642
00:33:42,238 --> 00:33:45,319
Speaker 22: and he played multiple multiple positions for US last year.

643
00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:48,759
Speaker 22: So being able to take him and and and obviously

644
00:33:48,919 --> 00:33:51,559
Speaker 22: just not take him and show him the way because

645
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,359
Speaker 22: obviously it's just there's certain things that that he's done

646
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 22: in college that I didn't get to do.

647
00:33:55,999 --> 00:33:57,399
Speaker 6: Because the game is evolved.

648
00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:00,078
Speaker 22: So much, you wind up learning, you wind up learning yourself.

649
00:34:00,199 --> 00:34:02,639
Speaker 22: And and that's the thing is like when you're competing,

650
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:05,639
Speaker 22: whether it's in any facet of life, when you're able

651
00:34:05,639 --> 00:34:07,679
Speaker 22: to teach somebody and show them things and you're able

652
00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:09,999
Speaker 22: to learn in that room, it makes everybody better because

653
00:34:09,999 --> 00:34:12,038
Speaker 22: that guy behind you is getting better every day. So

654
00:34:12,359 --> 00:34:14,999
Speaker 22: you can't be a complacent player and be that same person.

655
00:34:14,999 --> 00:34:16,999
Speaker 22: You got to show up every day and make yourself better.

656
00:34:17,519 --> 00:34:20,599
Speaker 22: So when you have that mentality for a room, especially

657
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:23,158
Speaker 22: for an offensive line, because we operate, you know as

658
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:24,479
Speaker 22: one five equals one.

659
00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:26,079
Speaker 6: We never leave the field.

660
00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 22: You know, those are the two positions quarterback and in

661
00:34:28,359 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 22: offensive line. We never leave the field. We're always on

662
00:34:30,999 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 22: the field. We can't raise our hand and say, hey, coach,

663
00:34:32,759 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 22: we need a water break. So it's very important for

664
00:34:35,439 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 22: us to be able to work together, you know, not

665
00:34:38,439 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 22: even on the field, but off the field as well,

666
00:34:40,439 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 22: getting to know each other, you know, dinners and things

667
00:34:42,919 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 22: like that, because I truly believe, you know, if you

668
00:34:45,959 --> 00:34:47,599
Speaker 22: don't know your brother's off the field, how can you

669
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 22: go to battle with them on the field. So bringing

670
00:34:50,319 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 22: that mentality as a older guy in the locker room

671
00:34:52,839 --> 00:34:55,199
Speaker 22: and just bringing guys along and showing them the way,

672
00:34:55,959 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 22: it's gonna be a great deal for us.

673
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 13: I had more goan, congratulations l eleven NFL seasons. What

674
00:35:03,479 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 13: has allowed you uh to stay healthy to stay productive.

675
00:35:06,319 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 12: For after eleven years?

676
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,079
Speaker 22: I would say the biggest thing is just not s

677
00:35:09,399 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 22: not staying complacent, you know, being able to come in

678
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:14,199
Speaker 22: a a and and learn different techniques, being willing to

679
00:35:14,279 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 22: learn different techniques. And you know, obviously over my career,

680
00:35:16,919 --> 00:35:19,519
Speaker 22: I've had great coaches. I had Bill Callahan when I

681
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 22: was young, in the league. And obviously he taught me

682
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 22: a lot. And obviously you know his name rings Bells

683
00:35:23,479 --> 00:35:26,679
Speaker 22: throughout the league. That's offensive line. But also having veterans man.

684
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,679
Speaker 22: You know, last year I was with Tyron Smith, so

685
00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:30,519
Speaker 22: I got to learn a lot of things from him,

686
00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 22: you know, future Hall of Famer. I was with Trent Williams.

687
00:35:32,999 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 22: It was Donald Penn. So when you get to take

688
00:35:35,519 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 22: a little bit of you know, knowledge from everybody else

689
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,999
Speaker 22: and mix it in your own mixing bowl and come

690
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:42,599
Speaker 22: up with your own recipe, that's what you get. You

691
00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:44,639
Speaker 22: get longevity in the NFL and just being able to

692
00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:45,519

695
00:35:49,279 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 22: in the weight room and throw four hundred pounds on

696
00:35:50,879 --> 00:35:51,799

724
00:36:45,959 --> 00:36:47,679
Speaker 22: you're always gonna get banged up. You know last year

725
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 22: I dealt with a knee injury from week three on

726
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 22: man and you know, just you know, sleeping in the

727
00:36:52,439 --> 00:36:55,519
Speaker 22: hyperbaric chamber, getting up early morning it's five o'clock to

728
00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 22: go into the facility to make sure you know the

729
00:36:57,359 --> 00:37:00,199
Speaker 22: train or see you doing your thing, and just you know,

730
00:37:00,279 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 22: obviously you know, not every day you gonna feel well

731
00:37:02,399 --> 00:37:04,519
Speaker 22: to be able to do everything. So you know, watching

732
00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:06,599
Speaker 22: that tape, you know what I'm saying, and and obviously

733
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:08,559
Speaker 22: being the A guy that's going in year twelve, I've

734
00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 22: never been scared of the actually younger guy I coach.

735
00:37:10,799 --> 00:37:12,199
Speaker 6: You know, what can I do better? You know?

736
00:37:12,279 --> 00:37:14,598
Speaker 22: So every every day just coming in with something to get.

737
00:37:14,799 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 22: You know, everybody thinks that this jump in the NFL,

738
00:37:16,839 --> 00:37:19,199
Speaker 22: you gotta go from A to Z right here, But I.

739
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:21,199
Speaker 6: Wanna go to A to B and then go to Z.

740
00:37:21,759 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 22: You know, as long as I stay at A, it

741
00:37:23,359 --> 00:37:25,159
Speaker 22: doesn't matter as long as as much time as I

742
00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:26,639
Speaker 22: stay at A, as long as I know when I

743
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 22: leave A that I've completed that and I don't have

744
00:37:28,799 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 22: to go backwards. I know I'm in the right step.

745
00:37:30,919 --> 00:37:32,998
Speaker 22: So it's really just one inch of the time, man,

746
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 22: you know, just taking taking time learning, learning ball and

747
00:37:35,919 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 22: obviously you know we got a young talented quarterback back there,

748
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 22: so being able to pick his brain, understand him, understand

749
00:37:41,839 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 22: what he sees on the field, so I can be

750
00:37:43,399 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 22: better in my approach and blocking for him. You know,

751
00:37:45,839 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 22: and and obviously being in the league for for a while,

752
00:37:49,559 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 22: you know, I've seen a lot of things. You know, obviously,

753
00:37:51,479 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 22: you know defenses, they all run the same defense, just

754
00:37:54,479 --> 00:37:55,159
Speaker 22: different personnel.

755
00:37:55,199 --> 00:37:56,558
Speaker 6: You're never gonna have two in the same gap.

756
00:37:56,639 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 22: So just being able to share that knowledge in that

757
00:37:58,319 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 22: football IQ with him, you know, to help raise his game,

758
00:38:01,439 --> 00:38:02,479
Speaker 22: is gonna make us a lot better.

759
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 14: Last person, Hey Morgan back here?

760
00:38:07,439 --> 00:38:08,559
Speaker 6: Gotcha? Sorry, Hawaii.

761
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:14,119
Speaker 14: How important is it to this collective group of free

762
00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:17,999
Speaker 14: agents to kind of as a group instill a culture

763
00:38:18,759 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 14: and a sense of urgency?

764
00:38:21,319 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 6: I guess.

765
00:38:21,799 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 14: I mean Mike came here in two thousand and one

766
00:38:23,799 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 14: as part of a free agent group from a team

767
00:38:25,879 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 14: that wasn't that good the year before, and then things

768
00:38:28,479 --> 00:38:30,998
Speaker 14: really flipped because a lot of guys who were brought

769
00:38:31,039 --> 00:38:34,479
Speaker 14: in work together, it seemed, in helping to instill a culture.

770
00:38:34,879 --> 00:38:37,559
Speaker 14: Do you guys take that kind of maybe collective responsibility.

771
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 22: You know, you don't need a miracle to win football games.

772
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:42,559
Speaker 22: You know, you just need the right people in the building.

773
00:38:42,999 --> 00:38:45,679
Speaker 22: And obviously with coach variables here, you know we got

774
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 22: the right people. You know, you know, our owners an

775
00:38:47,879 --> 00:38:50,559
Speaker 22: amazing owner and then obviously you know, we got guys

776
00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:53,519
Speaker 22: that's you know, CD won a Super Bowl, Milton just

777
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 22: wonted Super Bowl. They're gonna bring knowledge of the game

778
00:38:55,759 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 22: on how to be longevity through those weeks of week eighteen,

779
00:38:58,479 --> 00:39:01,079
Speaker 22: nineteen twenty, when it when it hurts, right, when when

781
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 22: And so, you know, it's important for us to be

782
00:39:05,919 --> 00:39:08,959
Speaker 22: able to learn from one another. And everybody has different qualities.

783
00:39:08,959 --> 00:39:11,039
Speaker 22: You know, Robert he told you know, eight years in

784
00:39:11,039 --> 00:39:14,359

00:39:14,439 --> 00:39:16,038
Speaker 22: you know, and he come in here and now he's

786
00:39:16,279 --> 00:39:18,679
Speaker 22: one hundred and forty tackles, you know, two years in

787
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:18,998
Speaker 22: a row.

788
00:39:19,279 --> 00:39:21,079
Speaker 6: That doesn't happen overnight. That's preparation.

789
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 22: That's dog, that's brotherhood, that's mentality that somebody that comes

Speaker 12: That's a.

808
00:40:10,479 --> 00:40:13,159
Speaker 19: Your growth the last two years as a player. What

809
00:40:13,319 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 19: do you attribute that to?

810
00:40:16,279 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 21: I have to say, and I always say, it doesn't

811
00:40:17,999 --> 00:40:20,998
Speaker 21: happen by accident. It doesn't happen overnight. This has been

812
00:40:21,359 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 21: years in the making, years of intentional actions throughout every day,

813
00:40:26,879 --> 00:40:28,959
Speaker 21: living my life a certain way to try to get

814
00:40:28,959 --> 00:40:30,159
Speaker 21: to where I am right now.

815
00:40:35,919 --> 00:40:36,039
Speaker 9: Here.

816
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:38,999
Speaker 16: Robert, Welcome to New England. What was about playing with

817
00:40:39,039 --> 00:40:41,479
Speaker 16: Mike Rabel that you know made this an appealing spot

818
00:40:41,479 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 16: for you.

819
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 21: I've known coach Rabel from a young age, from high

820
00:40:48,359 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 21: school when he was a recruiter at Ohio State. Always

821
00:40:51,839 --> 00:40:55,159
Speaker 21: admired his playing career and his coaching career. When when

822
00:40:55,199 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 21: you get around a guy like coach Rabel, you really

823
00:40:58,279 --> 00:41:02,199
Speaker 21: feel that intensity, you feel that passion, and I like

824
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,559
Speaker 21: to say I fall into that same boat of intensity

825
00:41:04,559 --> 00:41:08,079
Speaker 21: and passion and heart. And so I've gotten along with

826
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 21: him great in Tennessee and I can't wait to continue

827
00:41:12,399 --> 00:41:13,479
Speaker 21: to form that relationship.

828
00:41:16,639 --> 00:41:17,679
Speaker 6: Robert, look at your tape.

829
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,559
Speaker 3: One thing that jumps out is the fact that you

830
00:41:19,559 --> 00:41:21,679
Speaker 3: were always eating your hands on passes, and I'm curious

831
00:41:21,759 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 3: what was in your preparation process and what do you

832
00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:25,639
Speaker 3: attribute to being able to make so many plays like

833
00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 3: that on the field.

834
00:41:26,639 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 21: Yeah, quite a few different things. One of the things

835
00:41:28,999 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 21: I study on the field is spatial awareness. So I

836
00:41:31,839 --> 00:41:34,039
Speaker 21: like to know where I am on the field without

837
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 21: having to open my eyes. So I do a lot

838
00:41:35,919 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 21: of eyes closed training to be better, better spatially aware

839
00:41:40,439 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 21: of where I'm going without having to look. I attribute

840
00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 21: the ball skills to playing offense, growing up as an

841
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:52,519
Speaker 21: offensive player, a running back or receiver, always playing catch

842
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:54,518
Speaker 21: every single day. You'll see me out at practice twenty

843
00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:57,199
Speaker 21: thirty minutes early, just because I love getting my hands

844
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,639
Speaker 21: on the football. That's how you're gonna essentially change the

845
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 21: outcome of games, getting interceptions, forcing the ball out, getting

846
00:42:04,759 --> 00:42:08,199
Speaker 21: PBUs TFLs, giving guys a chance like CD to go

847
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 21: make plays on third and long, So I pride myself

848
00:42:11,399 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 21: on that.

849
00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:19,079
Speaker 4: Hey, Robert, what do you want Patriots fans to know

850
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:20,999
Speaker 4: what that they can expect from you as a player

851
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:21,639
Speaker 4: and a person.

852
00:42:22,439 --> 00:42:24,558
Speaker 21: Yeah, I want the patriotation to know that I'm gonna

853
00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 21: pour my heart into this city, into this community, into

854
00:42:27,919 --> 00:42:31,519
Speaker 21: this team. I cared deeply about what I do. I

855
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:36,119
Speaker 21: bring passion and heart everywhere I go. I'm just so

856
00:42:36,159 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 21: excited to get my feet in the building, get started,

857
00:42:38,879 --> 00:42:42,079
Speaker 21: get to know the guys. Before the guys want to

858
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 21: hear what you have to say, you got to make

859
00:42:44,879 --> 00:42:47,519
Speaker 21: sure that feel like you care for them. So I

860
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:50,679
Speaker 21: want to make sure that my teammates know that I'm

861
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 21: not here trying to get them. I just want what's

862
00:42:53,399 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 21: best for them at the end of the day. So

863
00:42:54,719 --> 00:43:02,599
Speaker 21: I'm gonna pour my heart into my teammates.

864
00:43:03,279 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 19: You've probably heard coach Rabel mention when you got a

865
00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 19: spot on the tightness roster in twenty eighteen, and I

866
00:43:09,439 --> 00:43:12,999
Speaker 19: imagine this contract that you just signed probably life changing

867
00:43:13,079 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 19: in a different way. Just putting those two things together,

868
00:43:16,399 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 19: how would you describe your emotions?

869
00:43:18,359 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 21: Yeah, well, coach Rabel said, I got hired in twenty

870
00:43:21,959 --> 00:43:24,199
Speaker 21: eighteen on Mother's Day, and I got to call my

871
00:43:24,279 --> 00:43:27,199
Speaker 21: mom in tears, saying I'm going to be a professional

872
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,519
Speaker 21: football player. And today is her verday. So I'm signing

00:46:08,519 --> 00:46:11,159
Speaker 15: I at least signed the biggest contracts in franchise history.

992
00:49:35,439 --> 00:49:38,479
Speaker 10: did you learn about what it takes to win a

993
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:39,159
Speaker 10: Super Bowl?

994
00:49:41,679 --> 00:49:48,519

995
00:49:48,399 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 22: Uh, you can't be great without the greatness of others

996
00:49:51,799 --> 00:49:54,039

999
00:50:03,679 --> 00:50:05,999

1000
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:09,119
Speaker 22: you know, off the field. I feel like that carries

1001
00:50:09,159 --> 00:50:12,999
Speaker 22: on onto the field, and no, you go out there

1002
00:50:13,039 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 22: and you play f play for one another even harder

1003
00:50:15,359 --> 00:50:17,199
Speaker 22: once you, you know, get to know 'em and get

1004
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,639
Speaker 22: to know their families and why they do what they do.

1005
00:50:19,799 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 22: So uh yeah, I learned. I l learned that a

1006
00:50:22,879 --> 00:50:30,079
Speaker 22: lot in Philadelphia, Uh from coaches, players. Uh yeah, obviously
