1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Talking about sort of the the execution and really the

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: margin for era and in these games it's just a

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: couple of plays here or a couple of players there.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Do you think that's sort of defining what you guys

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: are at this point? That in essence, the ability at

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: times to make that extra play that you've done so

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: many times in the past. Yeah, thus far, I would

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: say so. Um, you know, I think we have a

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: good football team here. Unfortunately for us, we just haven't

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: been able to make those handful of plays that we

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: need to make to get over the hump and win

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: games in some of these games this year and any

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: of that's that's how thin the margin is the national

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: football There's a lot of good coaches, a lot of

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: great players, and you know, in those critical moments, and

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: you never know when that critical moment will be, but

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: in those critical moments, you have to be able to execute,

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, unfortunately we just haven't been able

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: to do that consistently over the course of the season.

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the energy and the movement is

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: still good? I mean, Bill, Bill after the game and

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: you just mentioned it too there, I still have confidence

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: in this team. Do you still feel that confidence even

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: after a loss. Yes, I do. Um, you know, I'm

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna be confident in the guys that we have here

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, and that's because I know who

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: they are as men, and I spent a great deal

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: of time with a lot of these guys in this

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: locker room over the years, and who they are as

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: people is what gives me confidence. I think at the

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: end of the day, that's at the core of who

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: you've always been. It's a character is a big part

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: of what we do. So you know that being said,

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: we stay committed to our process, we stay committed to

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: each other. As long as we put our best effort

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: in our best foot forward each and every day, then

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: we can live with the outcome. We can you know,

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: live with the results. It's got to be one day

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: at a time. You never lose faith no matter what

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: the situation you're facing maybe and you just move forward.

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: So that's what we're gonna do. Thanks question Chris Ryan,

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: followed by Chris Mason, Hey, Matthew Hope Ball as well

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: with you, Um, I don't know, kind of build a

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: puniter answering before and obviously in circumstances where you face

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: great adversity and where it's more difficult to come in.

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, you've learned a lot about people as opposed

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: to when everything's going well. And it's what you've learned

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: this year about your your teammates and if you've developed

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: more respect for them, coaching staff and that you've faced

50
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: obviously this year the most adversity you've faced in New

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: England in many different facets. Well, yeah, you know, I

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: think you know, true character is revealed in adversity. Anyone

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: can be a front runner and kind of just be

54
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: high when things are going well. Anyone can lead when

55
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: things are going well. Anyone can you know, do anything

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: positive when things were going well. But I think this year,

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: what I've seen is true character and grit from a

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys. Needless to say, this year has been

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: a bit of a struggle for us, But guys have

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: stayed committed to the process, They've stayed committed to each other.

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: There hasn't been finger pointing. There's been no blame placed

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: on this guy or that guy, or we're not doing this,

63
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: or it's the scheme or you know, all those sorts

64
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: of things that you would expect to see. I think

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: from from certain people in these types of situations. We

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: haven't had any of that, and I think that speaks

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: volumes to the men that we have in this locker

68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: room and just you know, the way that they were

69
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: raised and the choices that they've made as adults and

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: who they are as people, And you know, I think

71
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: that's I've always felt that way about these guys, but

72
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: especially the guys I've played with for a while and

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: know very well. But I think even more so after

74
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: we're going through a year like this. And then obviously

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick, he's he's been steady, Eddy, He's going to

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: be consistent. He is who he is regardless of the situation,

77
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and I think that's afflicted in our coaching staff as well.

78
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: So that's been encouraging for me to see. I think

79
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot about myself as well throughout the process,

80
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: and you know, we're just going to keep moving forward

81
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: the best way we know. How how do you think

82
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: this experience will benefit some of the younger players on

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: the team, because, as reference, championship teams in this type

84
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: of circumstance can go one of two ways, and a

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: lot of times it's the self destructing way. What do

86
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: you think will be the lessons for the Patriots of

87
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: the future as a result of what's taking place now. Well, yeah,

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: I mean, look, that's going to be case by case.

89
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: I think how guys interpret our current set of circumstances

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: and how they attempt to adapt, evolve and overcome is

91
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: going to be up to them. These younger players. Hopefully

92
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: what they do understand is that they're no guarantees in

93
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: this league. Just because you have a Patriots uniform or

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: fill in the blank uniform hall and doesn't mean that

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: you can just come out to play and things will

96
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: fall into place for you. Not to say that those

97
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: guys have had that approach, but I think that is

98
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: certainly in lesson than this. You look at a team

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: that's had so much dominance over the last twenty years,

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, you can kind of think, well, it's just

101
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: going to happen. Well, that's not how it works. And

102
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I think we've seen that. We knew that, but now

103
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: we're seeing that, and with them over the course of

104
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: their careers, they'll be able to learn from this year

105
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you always have to respect the game.

106
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: You always have to go about the process the right

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: way to get the results that you want, and even

108
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: when you do, sometimes things don't go away. So that's

109
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: valuable experience that they're gaining and valuable experience that we're

110
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: all gaining because that's how life works. Nobody nobody's life

111
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: goes exactly as they had a planned, So there's a

112
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: lot of carry over there and I hope that we're

113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: taking these lessons and applying them moving forward. Thanks Beth.

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: Next question Chris Mason, followed by Jofi Chen. Hey, Matthew,

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time to do this. Oh problem.

116
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. As a veteran leader in the locker

117
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: room right now, do you feel like your role is

118
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: any different than it's been in years past. Yeah. Absolutely.

119
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: You know, as I mentioned earlier, I think it's much

120
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: easier to lead in an environment where things are going

121
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: pretty much as scheduled. I think I've learned a ton

122
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: about myself as a leader. I've seen some I would

123
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: say glaring holes in my leadership because I haven't had

124
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: to deal with these types of scenarios, and it's been

125
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: a great learning experience for me. Is I've tried to

126
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: evolve and grow, So, you know, I think the Lord

127
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: forgiven me this test personally because I think it's growing

128
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: me as a man and as a leader within football,

129
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: but I think within life as well, so it is

130
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: much different. The scenarios we've faced this year have been

131
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: much different, starting with COVID on down the line, but

132
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: hopefully there's going to be growth and maturity for myself

133
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: and as well as my teammates on the other side

134
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: of this. Can you share any of those moles that

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: have been passed up this year? Pardon me, you cut

136
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: out there. I'm sorry. Can you share any of those

137
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: holes that you've kind of passed up this year? Yeah? Look,

138
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I think for me, as someone who is always trying

139
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: to remain positive and see the plus side of things,

140
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: when you get into situations like this, I've had to

141
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: learn how to apply the lessons that I've given or

142
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: preached on over the years in a different way, and

143
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: and that starts with me personally. You know, you hear

144
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: so many people that have great slogans about adversity, and

145
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: you hear tons of emotional, motivational excuse me, motivational speakers

146
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: that will come out and give you a raw, raw speech.

147
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: But until you actually go through that and acquire the

148
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: skills necessary to deal with adversity and to lead others

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: through adversity. You can't really develop those skills, and I

150
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: certainly haven't had to develop those skills to the extent

151
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: that I have this year, and it's been challenging. But again,

152
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: as I said, I'm thankful for the growth that has occurred.

153
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: Thanks Matthew. No problects question you if he can, followed

154
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: by Bob Sosen. Hey, Matthew, thanks for taking the time.

155
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: No person question about the special team. But you haven't

156
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: been able to get a big place this season when

157
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: it's needed, for example, like yesterday fourth quarter, especially compared

158
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: to the past couple of seasons. So what's been changed?

159
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: It's a personal a personal changes or play colondifference, What's

160
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: what's your opinion on this? You know, I think it's

161
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: been a combination of factors. You know, For one, that's

162
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: just the way football goes. Sometimes, you know, you're late

163
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: on a rush the balls and bounce your way, you

164
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: miss a block here there that they could you know,

165
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: they gain a potential big return. That's just how how

166
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: it's going. And I think ultimately that falls on the

167
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: guys that are on the field playing. That falls on

168
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: us as players just having to find a way to

169
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: make the plays that we that we need to make,

170
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: and we just haven't done that. So, you know, I

171
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: don't think there's blaming the place it's happened. We have

172
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: to take advantage of our opportunities moving forward. I think

173
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: Cam has did a great job of having us prepared

174
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: each and every week. He's got a great game pan

175
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: in place every week that we feel really confident in.

176
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: Coach has done a great job of being involved with

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: us in the kicking game as well. But ultimately, we're

178
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: just gonna have to find ways to execute in hopes of,

179
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, turning our season around here. And two final questions,

180
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Bob Socie and Megan O'Brien, thank you, Stacy him Matthew. Bob,

181
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: related to some of your comments regarding the lack of

182
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: guarantees in this league and particularly young players coming into

183
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: the organization, I've heard some of your former teammates who

184
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: knew nothing but success during their Patriot's career say it's

185
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: hard to play here because of the expectations and the

186
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: demands on a daily basis. How difficult has it been,

187
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: if in a different way, when you guys have been

188
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: struggling to string together victories and you know, what are

189
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: the important lessons for those young players in particular, because

190
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: they're going to have the mantleship of leaders a leadership

191
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: they're in a mantle of leadership, you know, eventually within

192
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, the next three or four years. Yeah, great question, Bob.

193
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's been you know, losing in

194
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: this league is never enjoyable for anyone. I don't care

195
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: if you're playing here, any of the other teams in

196
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: this league. It's not something that's going to be easy

197
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: to deal with. Certainly, we know the expectation and where

198
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: the bar is here, and you know that's been challenging

199
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: for us. But I think at the end of the day,

200
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: perspective is huge no matter what you're talking about. And

201
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: my message to guys has been, you know, do you

202
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: realize that we know life Bible says life is is

203
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: a vapor. But if life is like a vapor, then

204
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: what is our football like? Like it's very quick no

205
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: matter if you're reporting on football, coaching football, playing football,

206
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, it goes by very very quickly.

207
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: So I think it's important for us to kind of

208
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: hold onto the moments that we have maximize the opportunities

209
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: that we have and you know, really cherish what we're

210
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: doing here. And that's not to say that we haven't

211
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: done that, but you know that's going to continue to

212
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: be my message. I look at what happened yesterday with

213
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: Rex and it's just a reminder that there are no

214
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: guarantees and you don't know when this is going to

215
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: be taken away from me. So that being said, you

216
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: gotta go out and treat each day as if it's

217
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: your last. And that's not going to be easy because

218
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel terrible sometimes physically, you're gonna be injured, mentally,

219
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: maybe the kids kept you up all night. You know,

220
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: that's just part of it. But you have to find

221
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: a way to get your mind in a place where

222
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: you work to cherish and maximize each day of football

223
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: that you have because at any moment it can be

224
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: taken from you. And I feel the same way about

225
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: life and the way that we live life. At any moment,

226
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: life can change. You look at what happened with James

227
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: this year in Devon and just this whole situation with COVID.

228
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: So I hope it gives us all a greater appreciation

229
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: of what we're doing, how blessed we are to be

230
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: doing what we're doing. And you know, hopefully those young

231
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: guys five six years from now, when they're leading clubs,

232
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: leading this club, they can lead with that same sense

233
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: of gratitude. Thank you, Matthew. Two more questions began O'Brien,

234
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: and then back to Mike Charity. Okay, Matthew, and one

235
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: of your previous answers, you said it's hard whin things

236
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: are going as scheduled despite this team's win loss record.

237
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're still developing, as to use

238
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: your words scheduled, Well, I think the schedule would be

239
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: to go out and beat ten and Old right now.

240
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: Development developmental wise, I mean, I think that's more of

241
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: a question for coach. I can't really speak to how

242
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: we are as a team developmentally, evaluating players, this and

243
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: the other. All on those the end result hasn't been

244
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: what you want it to be, and that's that's the

245
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: only focus I have right now. So I think personally,

246
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: you have to start with yourself. What can I do

247
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: better to help this team be better? And that's where

248
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: my focus is right now. Yeah, I just ask question

249
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: Mike Charity. Yep, I just wanted to circle back because

250
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: we're asking these questions and they obviously have a different

251
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: tone than normal because of the end result in the record.

252
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: But again, when you look at the room, is there

253
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: still hope and belief that this can turn and you

254
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: can still be the kind of team that you went

255
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: into the year expecting and wanting to be? Absolutely? And

256
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think if if there ever comes up

257
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: point in time where you lose faith in that, then

258
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: the season's over. Right. So if at any point, leadership, coaches, players, staff,

259
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: if you lose belief, then you might as well throw

260
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: in the towel. And I don't I don't think we're

261
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: anywhere near that right now. I think there's still a

262
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: great deal belief, as I mentioned earlier, in who we

263
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: are and what we're capable of moving forward. But at

264
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: some point in time we have to turn that belief

265
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: to action and results. So, um, we're going to remain

266
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: confident and who we are and what we've done. We've got,

267
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, some decent football players around here that have

268
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: that have done all right over the years. And uh,

269
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, we'll see at the end

270
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: of the day if that's good enough or not. Um,

271
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: but right now we're just gonna focus on taking things

272
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: one day at a time and trying to go out

273
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: and get better. Thank you much appreciate you, Matt, thank you,

274
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone,
