1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Hey, Yes, feeling on the cross country flying the last

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: couple of days. Yeah, we're doing just fine. Yeah, no,

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. It's a long way even further

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: this week, but uh yeah, I know we had uh

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: cold days to kind of recover and back into a regular,

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: regular week mode. Uh today you guys talking all about

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: staying on the East coast and training. I don't I

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, I don't know that they

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: if they discussed it upstairs or not, the most coaches,

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: but it wasn't ever brought to our attention. Phil. It's

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: been like whether it's whether it's too nice to practice

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: right here. It's been like six years since you've been

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: in this round of the playoffs. Just what's your excitement

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: level and what's your excitement about facing Brady and Belichick

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. Yeah, I mean I think, uh first,

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: just just fired up. You have fired up to be

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: in the in the final eight and have a chance.

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, I think we talked about that every year

19
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: that you're not in. Uh you just you always disappointed,

20
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: you didn't even give yourself a chance to give our

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: team a chance. So, um, they so certainly fired up

22
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: to have a shot. And you know the fact that

23
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: it it is against uh this franchise and this this

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: team and uh, you know, obviously unbelievable what they've done

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: and what they've sustained over many, many many years. Um.

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: So it's uh, you know, it's gonna be a heck

27
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: of a challenge, but certainly excited after the opportunity to

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: come there and and uh have another shout at him,

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Philip going back to last year at the relocation and

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: then through this year. Um, you know, this will be

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: your eleventh rold game, um, including London, and so how

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: was that kind of stealed this team for success and adversity? Yeah,

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: I do think I mean, I don't want to make

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: more of it than it is, but I certainly do

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: think that it's uh certainly uh weathered us and and

36
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: and and you know, contributed to our toughness and resilience

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: and all that, all those all those adjectives I could

38
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: give you. But you know, from the from the move

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: to you know, new training camp sites to last year.

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm going back to last year. Now, you know, we

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: spent the all season in San Diego, then we come

42
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: here for training camp and the facility is not quite

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: done and we're to move back in for the you know,

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: into to the new facility, and the season started and

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: then we start off holding four and then we get

46
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: on you know, we get we get on a run

47
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: and uh finished just short last year and we're disappointed

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: because we felt like we're playing really good, uh towards

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: the end of last year one nine of our last

50
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: twelve and then uh this year, you know, kind of

51
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: a little more settled back in. But you mentioned we've

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: had to fess some tough road trips. We've gone across

53
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the country and had a home game in London and

54
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: been all over so, um, it's a tough group. It's

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: a it's a tough team. Um, you know we uh,

56
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, we're well aware. You know, the Patrios hadn't

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: lost at home and and we haven't lost out of

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: the out of La county, so something something, one of

59
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: those streaks are going to be broken on Sunday. Regarding

60
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: that toughness, especially mental toughness, Philip, how much of that

61
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: do you guys take from your head coach? Yeah, I think, uh,

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think quite a bit. I mean, he's

63
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: been he's been uh the word I used to describe

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: it may not do do them justice the job he's

65
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: done these first two years. But is steady. You know,

66
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: he's just very steady. He's a steady voice from the front.

67
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: He's a steady in his demeanor, steady and his message

68
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: all those things to us from going forward, we're going

69
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: from the move to the anything we've dealt with. Uh,

70
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's just very steady. You know, week to week,

71
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: it's very uh, very much the same, very intentional. You know,

72
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of hoop law from him. You know,

73
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: it's either when he's talking to us, it's because something

74
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: we need to hear, and if and if there's nothing

75
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: we need to hear. Uh, he doesn't say a whole lot,

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: you know. And I think I think it's just steady,

77
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: and it has a has a trickle down effect on

78
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: the whole group. And and and then I do think

79
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: we have a good group of veteran leaders in every

80
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: position group. You know, we have we have a young

81
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: team probably as a whole, but we have a lot

82
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: of veteran leadership in each position group. And uh, it's

83
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: a nice mix. A lot of guys that love to play,

84
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys love football and I've always thought

85
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: the more guys you have to really love ball, uh

86
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: certainly certainly helps you. So you have much of a

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Do you have much of a a relationship with Tom Brady? No?

88
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: Other than just a great deal respect. I really uh

89
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: have not ever had really any any in linked or

90
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: at depth conversation with Tom other than those in the

91
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: good games afterwards, and they've all been good games from

92
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: his side. But uh, um no, just a respect for

93
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: respect for a far obviously the career has had and

94
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: what are you done over over twenty years has been remarkable?

95
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: That doesn't where are you at all? That you kind

96
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: of mentioned it there that you haven't beaten him throughout

97
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: your career. No, I mean I don't think so. I

98
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: mean it's not something you know, you think about a

99
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: whole lot of them. I think it's I think it's uh,

100
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: it exists and it's there. And but again, and I

101
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: mean this, I don't feel that I'm playing Tom. Certainly

102
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: it's a Tom Brady lead team and we know how

103
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: we know how things work with the quarterback and head

104
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: coach or who has the record attached to it. But um,

105
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: I uh, we got a heck of a challenge our

106
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: offense going against that defense and how um, how discipline

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: they play and how well they play, especially this time

108
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: of year. So we got to work cut out on

109
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. But um, yeah, so I

110
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: think you're aware of that stat that is out there,

111
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: but it's not something that uh, I spend much time

112
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: thinking about. Well when you look at this Patriots defense,

113
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: what similarities do you see from the previous editions you played?

114
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: And then what makes this one distinct from those full defenses? Well,

115
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: I think, uh, I just think they're just so uh

116
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of speaking of guys that love to play,

117
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they certainly have that. And then

118
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: and then they've always just had guys that understand, uh

119
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: what teams are trying to do to them, you know,

120
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: and understand where maybe uh the soft spot and zones

121
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: may be or where the where the so called weakness

122
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: may be in a certain coverage, and and they do

123
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: a heck of a job of trying to take away

124
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: what you do best. And um, certainly, um, you know,

125
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: they've had some some change and turnover over the many

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: years we've played them as far as as far as

127
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: who's over there on that side of the ball. But um,

128
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: the ability for them to be very multiple and do

129
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: things very well and really really you see how uh again,

130
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: what a great job they do of trying to take

131
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: away what you do best. And so uh, it's it's

132
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: to me, there's many many similarities and in all all

133
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: the years of played them, of what they've you know,

134
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: of all those teams, many similarities from this team to

135
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: those teams. Just they sustained uh you know what ten

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: plus wins and however many you know, conference championshipshion row

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: and Super Bowls. I mean, it's it's it's a similar

138
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: formula when you have the same head coach and and uh,

139
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, I always had some turnover with the staff

140
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: and things, just like to have players. But it's, uh,

141
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: it's it's impressive what they've done year in the year. So,

142
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: with where you're at in your career, how badly do

143
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: you want the Super Bowl run? I'm sorry, with with

144
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: where you're at in your career now thirty seven years old,

145
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: how badly do you want this Super Bowl run? Yeah?

146
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean just as bad as

147
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: as we've wanted it every year. I mean, to be

148
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: honest with I mean, yeah, I think I think there's

149
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: no denying you know that. You know, have a ton

150
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: of years left. But um, I mean I want it

151
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: for that for our team. I mean I want our

152
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: team to experience and us to accomplish our ultimate goal.

153
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: We haven't done it. Now, it's really not about me,

154
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: it's about us and um, you know, like I said

155
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: in the first first a couple of uh minutes, we

156
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: were talking, it's exciting to have a chance. You know,

157
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: once you're in it, you got a chance. Somebody's gonna

158
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: win it. You know, somebody's one of these eight teams

159
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: are gonna win it. So um to have that opportunity

160
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: and again to get a step closer now this weekend,

161
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: it'll be a heck of a challenge, but um we

162
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: uh we're gonna prepare like crazy and and and be

163
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: there ready to go. So I talked a lot about scheme,

164
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: but how much does it is It important just to

165
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: remember you have a certain style you play loose and

166
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: to remember that style, not to overthink things on Sunday

167
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: it's stile a football game. Yeah, I think it's I

168
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: think it's huge, you know, I think I think, especially

169
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: really last week, going back to last week, in that

170
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: first game, for you know, for some guys, maybe the

171
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: first playoff game, and for a lot of us, as

172
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: y'all mention, this first time we've been in since thirteen.

173
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: So I think that especially in the first one you're

174
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: in uh in a while for some of us and

175
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: then some of us, ever, I think it's important not

176
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: to try to play that mistake free game that doesn't exist,

177
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: and it's go out there and play a football game.

178
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some good and some bad and miss

179
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: a thrower too. We're gonna miss a tagher too. We're

180
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna have all those things that happen in every game

181
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: and just go play and uh and and believe that

182
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: throughout four quarters and all three phases that we're gonna

183
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: find a way. And I thought we did a good

184
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: job of that. Obviously got back in the game late

185
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: last week, but we found a way to win. And

186
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: that's what this is all about. And shoot, I'm not

187
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: telling you guys anything. Y'all know we're having witnessed over

188
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: the last decade plus. So that's what that's what this

189
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Patriot team has always done. It's find a way and

190
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, it'll be key for us so

191
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: to um to to play smart, attention to detail, all

192
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: those things that uh that if you're not on it,

193
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: this is this is this is the team if there

194
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: is one in this league. This is a team that

195
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: certainly makes you pay if you're if you're not doing

196
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: the little things correctly. Well, I've heard that you're bit

197
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: of a trash chalker on the field, but that you

198
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: keep it very pg, you keep it very clean. What's

199
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: what's the story there? Yeah, I mean I think, uh yeah,

200
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: there's there's It's it's best. Why I can described is

201
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: its typical banter and back and forth like you would

202
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: have with your brothers in a pickup game at Thanksgiving.

203
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it doesn't get much worse than that.

204
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I m out there like we are in

205
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: a practice field amongst our guys are in training camp.

206
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: You know, I really just enjoy the play play the

207
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: same passion and and and but I did when I

208
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: was ten years old, the backyard and all about them.

209
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean I just kind of kept that. That's kind

210
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: of when I'm at my best. Certainly, there's a there's

211
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: a fine line between you if you got to make

212
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: sure you just take care of your business and do

213
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: your job. And then also enjoying a little bit of

214
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the game within the game. But uh, yeah, it's pretty

215
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: Uh it's it's it's as I'm sure as many would

216
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: tell you. It's it's uh, it's probably laughable most of it. Well,

217
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: if any notable traft talkers and paths, um nah, not

218
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: not really that I know of. I mean, I've you know,

219
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: it's gone against these guys a handful of times. I again,

220
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respects to this defense, you know,

221
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: and again a lot of these guys have been there

222
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: uh sometime um and um and then some that have it,

223
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: but um no, no, nobody stands out. Again, I think

224
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: it's I think it's more of a little bit of

225
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: something I earned way back early in my career. And

226
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 1: it's like last week, I don't know if there was

227
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: anything said in that Ravens game. I mean, it's not

228
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: like I go in with a game plan of that stuff.

229
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: It just kind of if some natural interactions happened, and

230
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: so be it. If not, then just kind of play

231
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: the game. So what's uh, what's the story behind the

232
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: hat you wear at your postgame press conference? So now, Chappie,

233
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: it's a Latin phrase. It just means now now now

234
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: I begin. I think in most literal terms, we kind

235
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: of I've kind of made it. We like now we begin.

236
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: We we use it as a as a phrase our

237
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: team years ago. Um, uh just kind of it's a

238
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a different way of saying, you know,

239
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: one play at a time, or um, you know you

240
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: begin new. No matter what I mean, I use it

241
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: my I use it in my personal life as well,

242
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: family life, prayer life, whatever it is. You you begin

243
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: in again, good or bad day or good play or

244
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: bad play or um, whatever it is. Uh, you know,

245
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: you have a chance to get back up and begin again.

246
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: So that's kind of something that's it's certainly personal for me,

247
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: but it was kind of something we adopted as a

248
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: team years ago. And uh, just it's something that's really

249
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: stuck with me. Yeah, when you decide to wear it

250
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: as a on your hat every weekend, yeah, I mean

251
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: I will shoot, I have it all right now. We

252
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: just got through the walk through. I mean, it's just

253
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know, I guess I could say

254
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: in some ways it's my personal motto. Again, like I said,

255
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: the team kind of we kind of adopted it. There's

256
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: some at one point a few years ago. Um yeah,

257
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like it's like wearing a watch

258
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: for me. I guess it's uh the last thing I

259
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: grab walking out of the house, and usually what I

260
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: throw on money around the building. You guys have had

261
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: a lot of different players make place for you on

262
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: offense this year. How much do you think that depth

263
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: has benefited your team? It's been great, I mean offensively

264
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: and really our whole team. I think that's one unique

265
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: thing about our team is just so many guys. I mean,

266
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: it's obviously it's always an ultimate team game in every sense,

267
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: but this team is so unique, and how many ways

268
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: we've won games, and how many guys contribute each week,

269
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: and how many different guys make a big play, and

270
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: how many guys make the game changing play. It's just

271
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: uh and how many guys that uh, there's just so

272
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: many guys contribute, and then the guys that bigger roles

273
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: and smaller roles. Everybody knows that role and and really

274
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: uh embraces it. And so yeah, speaking that's kind of

275
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: in general terms, just how many different ways we've won,

276
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: But speaking offensively, I think I think that is one

277
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: of our big positives of our offense is so many

278
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: different guys touch the ball every week week to week,

279
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: so maybe not much one week, and then they have

280
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: the you know, the lead the team and receiving the

281
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: next week or whatever it may be. And um, I

282
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: do think it makes this a little tougher to defend

283
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: because we're multiple, multiple and personnel groups and multiple and

284
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: who gets the ball. We spread it around and uh

285
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: that will be uh you know, going back to I said,

286
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: this team does this defense here does echo job of

287
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: taking away what you do best. So we got to

288
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: be ready to adjust on the fly. And uh, every

289
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: guy on this offense has got to be ready to

290
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: be the guy to to uh, you know, make the play. No,

291
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: I think you didn't have much of a personal relationship

292
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: with uh Tom Brady, but Belt Belichick, I think he

293
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: coached you once in the Pro Bowl. What is just

294
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: a relationship with him? Yeah it was again it was

295
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: it was one week at the Pro Bowl. Uh. Again,

296
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: other than just your your your pre your post game interactions.

297
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: Besides that, um, I mean again, my one interaction with

298
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: with with with coach Belichick was actually that half to

299
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: the one that stands out. It was a great week

300
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: I just tell you a funny story. But it was

301
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: a great week. Um just being around him, you know,

302
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: just it's a little bit you know, obviously all scale

303
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: back in the Pro Bowl, but just really with his

304
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: offensive staff and and all his coaches, just talking football

305
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: and stuff. Just being around him, a staff and a

306
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: and a and a and a coach that has done

307
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: had the success he's had. It was It was cool

308
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: for me to be around those guys and just talk ball.

309
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: But I do remember halftime in the Pro Bowl game,

310
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: we were getting killed and um, uh, I think it

311
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: was me and Peyton and I can't remember the other

312
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: quarter I'm trying to think the other quarterback that year.

313
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was Castle. It was Castle.

314
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: So Me, Peyton and Castle and we're getting blown out

315
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: at halftime, and he kind of called us all up

316
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: and and said, hey, we can tackle. Maybe we can.

317
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, I know it's a Pro Bowl and all that,

318
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: but can we tackle somebody today? You know, let's let's

319
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: let's go out and see if we can make this

320
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: a little bit respectful a second half and me, he

321
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: looked over to us quarterback and we had all thrown

322
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: an interception, Thank goodness, I wasn't only one, and he said,

323
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: and it would help if you guys would stop throwing

324
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: it to the other team. And I got a kick

325
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: out of that because I understand about Peyton Manning and

326
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: Castle and Peyton's if not my all time favorite one

327
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: of and uh I was I was glad I wasn't

328
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: the only one that had thrown it to the other team.

329
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: But I thought that was pretty good. I got I

330
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: got fussed out at halftime with the Pro Bowl, Philip.

331
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: I saw a new segment and it talked about how

332
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: your home in time at night to help your kids

333
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: with the homework. And I'm just curious whether this week

334
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: maybe kind of tell him dad's got a little extra

335
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: study to do himself. Ye you know, I'm gonna try

336
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: to keep it as normal week as I can. I mean,

337
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: I uh, just keep that routine, you know. I think

338
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the way I look at it. If

339
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: you're if you're gonna try harder this week, or prepare

340
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: harder or uh, you know, than than we've been cheating.

341
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: We've been cheating each other, We've been cheating our teammates

342
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: to last seventeen games, you know, So I think obviously

343
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: I say that seriously and understanding obviously the man in

344
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: two of the game, so certainly, uh, you don't leave

345
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: any stone unturned, uh for a preparation standpoint. But yeah,

346
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: I'll try to keep it as normal as possible. Obviously

347
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: we come out there on Friday. But um yeah, a

348
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: little a little homework help. I'm not great at it.

349
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: As as as they've gotten older, some of this, some

350
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: of this stuff gets a little tougher, but I can.

351
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: I can usually handle the math part of it. Math

352
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: is kind of my go too, so I can usually

353
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: help a little bit if it comes to some math problems.
