1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Which is it been getting that, you know, not to

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: be able to go out there. Man has been eating

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: at me. But you know they been having to save

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: me for myself a little bit. But you know, I

5
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: finally got opportunity, you know, put in the great work.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: You know, I any sting off with a bag. What

7
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: is it about your defense? It's been so strong, continuing

8
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: to be strong through ups? Oh, you know, just just

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: a belief, playing for each other, playing with great effort fundamentals,

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: and just not caring about anything other than what we

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: gotta do. You know, whenever we get called to go

12
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: out there, we we gotta execute. And that's that's just

13
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: our mindset. Do you do a lot of reflecting on

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: this seasonhood that come yet? Or do you kN uh

15
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: not yet? Not yet? Obviously, you know on a bat way,

16
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, do a little self scouting, but haven't haven't

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: really done that yet. I always wait til the end

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: of the year, you like snow, I do. Finally about

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,479

00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: guys have with that for the UH National Championship game.

22
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: He don't wanna do that. I don't think he's too confident,

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: but I'm always I'm I'm all for it. I got

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the utmost confidence in my guys, So whatever he wanna do,

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm with it. How much fun was that? It was

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun, man,

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: especially being an alumning al in alumnus, and uh, you know,

28
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: just think about all the work that you know, my

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: class putting over there, how we couldn't finish it, and

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: then watching these guys know it bring great choice. So

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: I definitely can't wait. Definitely try to go out there

32
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: to that game as well. For sure. Do you have

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: any memories of of playing in the snow growing up

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: in games and things like that, Not really, you know,

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: being the East Coast guy, you playing the snow a

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: little bit, so it's don't really bring like the wild factor.

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: But you know, being in New England not having any

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: snow brings the wild factor. So I'm I'm finally happy

39
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: we get a weather game and you know, we gonna

40
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: see how both teams respond to it. There's been a

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: lot of outside noise about Phil's job status after the

42
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: season of Curious. I mean, how much stuff do you

43
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: guys year and how much of an effort is it

44
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: to kind of block out that outside? Uh, It's it's

45
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: easy to block it out, you know, weekend and week out.

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: We got a job to do. Everyone's good in this league,

47
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: and you know you gotta put it in a work

48
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: to you know, find out about that appointed of what

49
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: they do well and you know try to take that away.

50
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: So focus just been on the next. Next appointment right

51
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: now is the Jets Division game, last one. You know,

52
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: we we both know each other very well. It's always

53
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: a tight game, physical game we play those guys. So

54
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: that's why I'm mindus you uh got here, you know

55
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: for the last parts of 'e uh Matthew Slator's career.

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: What did you know about it before you got here?

57
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: And what have you learned about? Well? I just knew

58
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: you the greatest special team player to play. And when

59
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: I got Joe Judge when I was with New York,

60
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, he he spoke very highly of Matt and

61
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: then you know, coming here and seeing the work he

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: puts in, you know, one of the first guys here,

63
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: always the last to leave. The work he does on

64
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: his body, how he goes about his work, and practice.

65
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: The type of man he is on it and off

66
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: the field, you know it it speaks volume. So I

67
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: I hope he's not done yet, so I said, I

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: get to spend a little bit more time with him.

69
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: But it's been a pleasant play with him, for you know,

70
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: we're all flawed as humans, but you know, on the field, man,

71
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that every cult will want,

72
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're player as a model for sure. What

73
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: your bro what was it like for you guys to

74
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: bond niggas a team all year and then getting to

75
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: this point where you know, some changes. Oh yeah, you

76
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: know at this point, basically everyone in the roster besides

77
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, the rookies know that the roster's not gonna

78
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: look the same year in and year out. You know,

79
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be this this group again. You know,

80
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: some guys might be here, but we know everyone's not.

81
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: So you know, we're definitely enjoying this time, so doing

82
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: some things off the field, getting together, you know. But

83
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: we we've always been a close group, but you know,

84
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: toward the end of the year, you know, we definitely

85
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, doing more to try to you know and

86
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: enjoy this last little bit of his ride. What are

87
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: some of the memories that you're gonna take just just

88
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: how hard we fo how all we played for each

89
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: other man, just you know, and and embracing all adversity,

90
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, going out there doing our job, you know,

91
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: when things are aren't going your way, and I think

92
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: we all be better for this. You know, in the future,

93
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: does your approach to this time of year and kind

94
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: of the group, you know, being at the end, does

95
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: that change now a few years in the league as

96
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: apost time you approaching when you were younger, Well, when

97
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: I was younger, I ain't really know any anything for real,

98
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, I was just a good football player. But

99
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, throughout my years I matured a lot. You know,

100
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: I learned a lot sponge of the game, learned from

101
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: the older guys. You know, I just try to share

102
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the wisdom and uh, you know, it's definitely different now,

103
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: but at the at the end of the day, gotta

104
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: go out there, you gotta compete, you know, try to

105
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: bring home a win, so you could at least have that,

106
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, to to hang on too during the offseason.

107
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: So you know, it was definitely stuff to play for
