1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Good morning, Cam Newton. Oh are you? How are you doing?

00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Open plates? I'm trying to maybe move Where are you

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: in the bowels of Gillette Stadium this morning? We've got

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: to get that phone in a gentleman's phone, maybe move

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe move around a little bit trap phone, you know

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: what it is? How are you? We're doing great? I

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: mean listen, you don't know you don't necessarily know Massachusetts

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: in New England well enough to know this yet. But

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: even in a win, uh we we we feel negative.

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: So um, I don't know if you know that about

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: us yet, but um, I wanted to. I wanted to

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: ask you to start to to give yourself a grade

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: on your performance here today. Can Oh, you know yesterday

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: was kind of frustrating in itself. And I do understand

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: no one planists need all enough that and games like

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: that and when there is like and just got a

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: final way to win. So that's that's got to optimistic?

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Answer me personally? Uh with with black luster ball situaty um,

19
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, just just a slow start offensively you know

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: this is this is some car performance and and and

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: and I know I can play better. I know I

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: can do better than I know I will be better.

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: So maybe a C plus B B plus Hello, C

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: plus B plus B minus. I mean I'm going like

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: midway C. Okay, wow, all right, okay, let me be five.

26
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: You know, just subpar um. What happened on the pick

27
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: trying to do too much? Yeah, simply I lost the

28
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: defender um. And when you're scrambling, you just kind of

29
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: assumed certain people are going to certain people and he

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: just pealed back and and I didn't. I didn't take

31
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: an account of him, you know, but things like that

32
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: just can't happen. Now. Can you take any type of

33
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: like silver lining out of the fact that, all right,

34
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: you guys started off a little sluggish, You were a

35
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: little sloppy with the ball early, but you guys were

36
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: able to put it together when you needed to, especially

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: later on in the game. You take anything away from that, oh,

38
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. Like I said, you know, playing this league,

39
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: you're not going to just steam roll every you know team.

40
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: And you know, at one point I didn't look up

41
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: at you know, the total stat line of total offense.

42
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: We did surpass four hundred yards. So let's not be

43
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: naive about the fact that when we when we did

44
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: get it rolling, we got a roll. So you know

45
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: with with with Sony running the way he's running, Burke running,

46
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, playing the way he's playing. You know, small,

47
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: don't guys? Man? You know they that that that uh,

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: that position group running backs, you know, just had the

49
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: light shining on them all day yesterday and it showed

50
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: by the production that they gave us. Boomer Sias and

51
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: said earlier this morning that with no fans in the stadium,

52
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: you really need energy from from your from your team,

53
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: from your leaders. Is that something that that consciously you're

54
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: thinking about? I mean, are you you out there trying

55
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: to get everybody going because there's no fans? Not necessarily.

56
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm a person that leaves by example more than anything else.

57
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a momentum Guy'm or an enthusiastic

58
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: person who enjoys just the normality of a football game

59
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: and the fact that you don't have, you know, fans

60
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: in the stadium. You know, being a professional, that should

61
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: not alter your approach to the game. And you know

62
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: it hasn't altered ours. But at the same time, you

63
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: got to find some type of way strategically to get

64
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: your guys going in ways that's that's not safe because

65
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, we all see people who are just doing

66
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: it for a cloud. You're doing it for you know,

67
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: many other reasons other than it being organic. So for us,

68
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: we just have to get strategic on you know, find

69
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: a juice within ourselves, within the sideline, you know, within

70
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: the play um, and you know, get get ourselves doing.

71
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: One thing that I've noticed from you, and you know

72
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: what you try to kind of read into your teammates

73
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: is guys that have this just natural innate of this

74
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: energy level. They always got a smile on their face

75
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: even when it looks like in times of an adversity,

76
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: when maybe a team's not playing well, it's like, you know,

77
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: I can always look at the this one guy and

78
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: know that it's never as bad as we might think

79
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: it is. And I think you know a lot of

80
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: players feed off of that. What have you kind of

81
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: known from just you know, maybe guys that have kind

82
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: of fed up just some of your emotion and energy

83
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: that you bring to the football game. Um, you know,

84
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: me being a new guy around here, the first thing

85
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: is in the genuine I can sense people, you know,

86
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: kind of trying to sense that out. But yet you know,

87
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: as as I get comfortable as people get comfortable when

88
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: they realize that this is just me. You know, I don't.

89
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't find no amusement by being anything

90
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: other than you know, Cam Newton. And you know, with

91
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: that being said, I you know, I understand people are

92
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, figure me out, trying to sense

93
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, what is you like? How is it is

94
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: it real? Is this genuine? You know? Or is you

95
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: just doing it just for you know x y Z.

96
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: I don't have time to act. I think my place,

97
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: my compass who runneth over us? You know? But trying

98
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: to you know that sick this offense in many ways,

99
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: and one so having having you know, the burden of

100
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: trying to do something that I'm not, you know, that's

101
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: just not we're missing. I'm gonna ask you this and

102
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that maybe you'll you'll do me a solid here.

103
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: I know you were asked about it yesterday and didn't

104
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: want to answer. But I'm thinking he might give us

105
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: something special for this program, Cam, since we're building up,

106
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: since we're best, since since we're building a relationship together,

107
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: and you know you you know, you know how it works.

108
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: You help me, I'll help you. Um, well, we need

109
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: to know what you and Nikhil Harry were talking about

110
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: yesterday on the on the sideline bust off. It was

111
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: a group project, you know. They just so happened to

112
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: kitch just my response to Nkil. But you know, I can't.

113
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: I don't think the listeners are even you know, I respectfully,

114
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's it's it was funny. I

115
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: just tell you that it was just as funny as

116
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: you've seen it. And I just could not believe, you know, mckills.

117
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: You know, a person that I was kind of taking

118
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: up front of my wing and you know the fact

119
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: that he's playing the kind of ball that he's playing

120
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: right now, not just all about you know, catching the football,

121
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: but just making plays in the run game as well.

122
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, for him to be able to have a

123
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: dialogue on the sideline, you know, as a as a

124
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: as a group, you know, it was just fun to have.

125
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: All right. I thought maybe next week maybe, and maybe

126
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I'll ask you again next week. Maybe I'll give it. Respectfully,

127
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: it just has to happen off the record, you know,

128
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: and and and and when that day comes, pending this

129
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: COVID tremor shat mockery, you know, we we we would

130
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: all sit back and discuss it. I thought he I

131
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: thought he said to Cam that you GK was better

132
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: than outcast. That's why I can't can went down like

133
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: that one thing. He's not even a I don't even know.

134
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't even think he knows who really man, you

135
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: gotta put him on game. He's from Arizona, He's not Nah,

136
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: don't even like work out in Houston, Texas. I would

137
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: think that he would know you GK is. But one

138
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: of the things that I know that I got to

139
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: see um was the trailer for eighty six Nights And

140
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: I tell you it's something that you know, it looks

141
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: really interesting to kind of get more of insight and

142
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: who you are. I know you talked about, you know,

143
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: players and your teammates, kind of getting to know who

144
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: you are as a player. What do you think that

145
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: this documentary's gonna you know, for us fans watching, you

146
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: get to know a little bit more about who you

147
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: are as a person. To be honest with you, I

148
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: wanted to show the humanistic side of who I am.

149
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is as football players,

150
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: we are always kind of cut short with defining the

151
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: people we actually are because in the sport that we

152
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: do play, outside of a handful of of of football players,

153
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: we are masked athletes, and you know, typically going out

154
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: outside of the city that you play in or wherever,

155
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: you're really not recognized as you would think. Now, I

156
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: set a handful of people obviously that we've got the

157
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: Ordels of the world, got the Aaron Rodgers of the world,

158
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady's of the world. You know, those players

159
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: are different. So yet for me, you know, in this

160
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Docky series, we try to captivate the understanding of it's

161
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: more to me than just playing football. And I wanted

162
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: to show the vulnerable side of being unemployed. I wanted

163
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: to show the father side of me. I also wanted

164
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: to show, you know, myself in a sense that may

165
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: not be saw in a lot of ESPN, NFL Network

166
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: or you know, NFL Total Package, Sunday Package and things

167
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: like that. You know, and and and with me having

168
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: my own production team, you're able to you know, create

169
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: create content that empowers, impacts and motivates, you know, the viewer.

170
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: Mister Kraft told CBS yesterday that he was surprised that

171
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: you were around for those eighty six days. Is that

172
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: something that that motivates you continues to motivate you. Man, Listen,

173
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm a person who takes anything to heart. I mean anything,

174
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: And you know this, This whole decision is not to

175
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: keep being a dead horse. This is a business trip.

176
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: And the fact that I don't have none of my

177
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: children here in Boston with me, and the fact that

178
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to see them on a regularity,

179
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: that's angry in itself for me. I wake up every

180
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: morning in this thing that hell out of my children

181
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: and knowing that, you know, if I don't do what

182
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to do with then this could be good

183
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: witness for me. And that's as serious as as I'm

184
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: making it. And that's as serious as it is. And

185
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: not only to mention you know, I have so much

186
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: to prove. I could care less about you know, other critics,

187
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: but more or less, I have so much to prove

188
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: to myself. And I see a lot of great football

189
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: being played. I have seen a lot of great football

190
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: being played over the time that I was, you know,

191
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: injured or whatnot. And you know, you have to question

192
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: yourself and question the man you are and say, you know,

193
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: can you still play at a high level. So you know,

194
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: there's a there's a expectation that I have for myself

195
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to just meet it every single day

196
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: of my life. Do you think, I mean, will you

197
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: get the family up here? You think during the season,

198
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: you know when you got you have you know, young children,

199
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: it's in COVID pandemic. It's kind of hard, so you

200
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: know you have through it all. You know, you can't

201
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: FaceTime them enough because their attention is similar to mind.

202
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: You know, they don't know how to handle the phone

203
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: and things like that. But yeah, through it all, man,

204
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: I that's that's one of many different things. You just

205
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: wake up too and you ask yourself what's your purpose?

206
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a very family oriented person. I'm

207
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: a very hands on dad. And the fact that you know,

208
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: people don't realize that because they're jaded by the outfits

209
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: that I wear, a jade about what I say that Jada,

210
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: by the energy on the steel that jadabout, you know,

211
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: just the football figure of who I am. But yet

212
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully acis nice. Docuseries will kind of highlight

213
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: there's more to me than than than just what you

214
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: see on Sundays. You just talked about how much you

215
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: know you're you're putting pressure on yourself to you know,

216
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: prove that you could still do this at a high level. Now,

217
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: one thing that Bill Belichick is notorious for as players

218
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: in former players, current players is his Monday morning meetings

219
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: where he comes in after a win or a loss

220
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: with twenty five thirty plays, where he's highlighting guys and

221
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: things maybe that they didn't do right to get better.

222
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: What are you've taken from maybe some of those meetings,

223
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: Because if you're talking about the pressure that you know

224
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: you're putting on yourself, you know the pressure that Bill

225
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Belichick puts on every single player in that locker room

226
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: to be successful. What are some of the things that

227
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: you might have learned from some of the meetings with Belichick. Well,

228
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: he is very intuitive, and I don't know how he

229
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: does it, but the point gets taken positively from me.

230
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the day, you know,

231
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: you just have to grow to mother to understand it

232
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: um and and that doesn't make me necessarily nervous. I

233
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: actually look forward to those meetings because I do know

234
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: one thing about you know, Coach Belichick, is he's gonna

235
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: be as a hundred as a hundred is and and

236
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: you know from you're not taking the right steps, to

237
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: you making a great play on this play, to you

238
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: just not getting the job done. You know, I've seen

239
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: it the short time that I've been here, I've seen

240
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: that tone change, you know, not not many times to

241
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: many different people. So whatever, whatever, the same Bill Belicheck

242
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: that you know, it's just playing Bill Belicheck that I know,

243
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: And that's just something that you just have to level

244
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: respect out of him. As far as the pressure part,

245
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: that's you know, the football game, party league, that's not pressure.

246
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, you not being a employed now, that's pressure,

247
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, not not being able to have you know, uh,

248
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: grips over your own destiny in your future. That's real pressure.

249
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: So you know, when you really put things into perspective

250
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: and really say, is this pressure it's too minute drive,

251
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: it's really not. You know, I've been faced with pressure

252
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: and at virtity and you know, I probe myself on

253
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: being able to be in situations that you don't blink,

254
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: You just roll with the punches, you just figure certain

255
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: things out, and you know, at the end of the day,

256
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: with that type of mentality and mantra I believe you

257
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: will be all right. So that's interesting about Bill. I

258
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: think you must have been laughing then, because one of

259
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: the one of the knocks on you coming in here

260
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: was that you weren't going to be able to take

261
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: criticism from Bill Belichick. So you must have been laughing

262
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: about that then. I was laughing about a lot of things.

263
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: I've been laughing a lot in my whole career by

264
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: the analysis of who can it really is? And that's

265
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: just that's just the honest truth and the fact that

266
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, here I am in year ten still having

267
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: to explain the person and the player that I am.

268
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: It's it's just and sometimes disrespectful because we don't question

269
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: certain quarterbacks. We don't have to You don't have to

270
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: question Russell Wilson, you don't have to crush h question

271
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady's and I hate the name drop book.

272
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: And they've just gotten to that point. You know that

273
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: obviously me being a new face, and obviously you know,

274
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: people are trying to find and dig into certain things

275
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily know. You know that I'm the ultimate professional.

276
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: You know if I've never not once jeopardize my team

277
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: in no way as a as a you know, distraction

278
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: per se off the field. You know, I come of

279
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: the works each and every day and I try to

280
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: give whatever team you're the best opportunity to win. And

281
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: for them, my teammates, you know, the people in the

282
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: front office, the coaches, put them at ease knowing that

283
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: you know, their quarterback is going to put them in

284
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: the best position to win. So yet through it all,

285
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's not for me to you know, go

286
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: down each and every Instagram comment. It's not for me

287
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: to go down each and every you know interview that's

288
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: ever you know, had the discussion topic of Cam new

289
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: you know, or Twitter, and I run myself granted, but

290
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: yet through it all, at the end of the day,

291
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: I have to say true to who I am, and

292
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: you know, make the biggest impact that I know I

293
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: can make on things that I can't control. And I

294
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: feel like it would be true to who you are

295
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: if you would just tell us what nikkil Harry said,

296
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: what you guys were talking about yesterday. But you you're good,

297
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: You're really good. You're assistance. Um, all right, let me

298
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback question of the week. We were

299
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: talking about this before you came on, uh and a

300
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: Texter wants me to follow up. We know, we know

301
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: the nicknames that you've given everybody. Have you been given

302
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: a nickname yet by your teammates? They never stick, So

303
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: don't even try. I mean, I've been I've been at

304
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: it for a long time. You're trying to give me

305
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: the name caller a nickname. It's only going to make

306
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: matters worse. So yeah, I just advised people you know

307

Speaker 1: you this. If you call me, it's not gonna work,

Speaker 1: keep me with the responsibility of calling me the names,

311

Speaker 1: Dollar Dollar Bill, y'all? That's a good right there, but dy,

315
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: But honestly, I had you know, I have so much

316
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: of not saying that I don't have respect for anybody else.

317
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: You know, you just gotta understand your old too. But

318
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm not about to sit up fair and be walking

319
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: down the hall because you do a better thing. But

320
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: I got a dollar bill, y'all. Oh my god, now

321
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: like that you do that when you retire. Yeah. Yeah,

00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: it's more that hey, coach, how you doing. You're doing

00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: okay today? Okay, cool, great talk and then boom, hey cam.

324
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: You referred to your stay here as a business trip

325
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: earlier in the interview. What needs to change to make

326
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: this a long term stay for you? It's always about

327
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: taking care of business. And you know, my focus is

328
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: so you know, um, you know, kind of nearsighted that

329
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying to make things work and you know,

330
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: if I'm looking for long term results with with with

331
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: not too many things to have leverage on, and that's

332
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: that's not that's not that's not good, you know for me,

333
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: I just look at the opportunity about that I have

334
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: been given and it's a great opportunity. I'll tell you that.

335
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: And I think people already know that, and it's just

336
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: up to me about how do you know, kind of

337
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: finish what I started? Um, you know, it's it's not

338
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: necessarily about the things that people want to make it about.

339
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: It is about going out each and every week and

340
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: and and first off winning and then everything else you know,

341
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: falls in place. I haven't had a chance to ask

342
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: you this yet I don't think. But how do you like, uh,

343
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: living in the Boston area. I heard you're living in

344
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: the city. I won't say where, but um is, do

345
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: you like it so far? Everybody asked that and I

346
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: give pretty much the same answer, and it's extremely true.

347
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: I haven't really been able to kind of see the

348
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: city from what I do see. You know, the traffic

349
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: can be brutal. Um, but at the end of the day,

350
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: from from from just the um the ambiance that you

351
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: kind of get from the lights and you know, just

352
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: seeing people out slowly coming back out, you know, it's

353
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a really neat city that loves

354
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: their sports, and uh, you can't do nothing but respect

355
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: that and and and everybody's passionate. And I was just

356
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: so blown away by I called myself being incognito. And

357
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: you know, even the people who you would not even

358
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: think know who you are know as you. And I mean,

359
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: it's just mind blowing. So uh, you know that alone,

360
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: that support is second to none. I wouldn't think the

361
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: traffic was bad compared to the eight seventy five down there,

362
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: traffic is kind of brutal. We're not that bad. Oh. Here,

363
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: it has a similarity. You know, when we when we

364
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: get out early on Fridays or you know, have late

365
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: days to go in like today, you know, you can

366
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: get caught into a rut. And you know, let's just

367
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: say you have to leave relativity earlier than you would

368
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: expect to leave. All right, Well, looking ahead, I know

369
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: it's early, but look ahead the Sunday and what do

370
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: you what do you what do you feel like right

371
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: now you need to focus on when it comes to

372
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: that Kansas City Chiefs team. Well, one thing about it,

373
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: we do know right we're playing the defended champs. And

374
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 1: you know, with that being said, I think we've been

375
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: putting great film out there to different teams of many

376
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: ways we can attack a team offensively. Um, you know,

377
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: coach said each and every week and about how we

378
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: have to stay tuned playing complimentary football. It showed some yesterday,

379
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: but it didn't show enough. And you know, I just

380
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: expect us to keep you know, thriving and becoming um

381
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: a more fundamentally sound team that moving forward, you know,

382
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: we can we can all be better. We're still kind

383
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: of in this preseason pay this and it's shown for

384
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: some teams and for some teams, you know it's not so,

385
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, we have to make sure that we're always

386
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: ascending in the right direction, you know, by each and

387
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: every Sunday coming home or wherever we may be, just

388
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: finishing the day with a wink. All right, sounds good.

389
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: We can't wait. Cam Newton, great to talk to him.
