1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Great, Alex her Hey, Devin, how's it going today? Good? Good. 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: You've seen a couple of years as Sam Darnold. Now 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curious, you know, based on your 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: past matchups in the film, you're seeing what kind of 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: growth you've seen in him from his rookie year to now. 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: Um just like I mean every all the young quarterbacks 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: that we played, I was say, in our division, you know, 8 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: with him and Josh Allen, Um just developing decision making. 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: Um obviously came in with a ton of talent and 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: puts the ball in the right place. UM. And I 11 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: think one of the things we've seen Um more this 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: year is just some of his athleticism, some of the 13 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: plays he's been able to make. UM staying alive, you know, 14 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: with a couple of players to play in San fran 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: Um ending the play obviously against Denver when they come 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: with the blitz and he breaks a couple of tackles. 17 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: So I would say he's just doing a good job 18 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: of getting it done for them in different areas, whether 19 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: that's staying in the pocket and throwing a good ball 20 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: with some of the play action stuff that they do, 21 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: or if you know, the pocket breaks down he's still 22 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: showing the ability to kind of stay alive and make 23 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: a play running or even rolling out and making really 24 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: some tough rolls, but putting it right on the money. 25 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: We'll go back to Mark Daniels still no, okay, We'll 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: go to Mike Gardy follow by Dan roach V. After 27 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, you know, I was asking you 28 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: about the trade deadline, and now it's coming gone. I'm 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: just curious sort of your feelings about everybody stayed. He 30 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: brought everybody back that Does that say anything to you 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: about how Bill thinks about the team moving forward. I 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: don't think about this though. I just come in here 33 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: and try to do my job play football. They've never 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: asked me to be a part of the front office, 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: so I just try to be the best safety that 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: I could be on the team. The rest of that stuff, 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: I mean, like I said to you on Sunday, we're 38 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: always We're always trading for a lot of people and 39 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: trading a lot of people every year, so whatever always happens, 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: it happens. But I think for me as a player, 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: I just continue to try to play football, and I 42 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: just want to ask you. Obviously, there was a lot 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: of discussion in the off season and even here during 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: the season about the election, just sort of how you 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: view what's going on. I know you've got your job 46 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: to worry about, but this is a pretty big deal too, 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: and you've been pretty outspoken about about things you wanted 48 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: to see, and I'm just curious sort of how you 49 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: felt about the last forty eight hours or so in 50 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: that regard. It's been awesome just to see all of 51 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: the numbers with people going out there and voting and really, 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: I think making their voice heard. I think that was 53 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: the biggest thing I know for me, that's what I've 54 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: spoken about, as people just using their voice. It doesn't matter, 55 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, what side of politics you fall on, but 56 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: just using your voice to go out there and vote. 57 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: I guess I'm probably like everybody else. We're waiting to 58 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: see who wins this thing, and you know, whenever that is. 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's exciting for all of us, 60 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: you know, bigger than football or anybody's just our country 61 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: as a whole to see people go out there and 62 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: care and try to do their part. Thank you. Our 63 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: next question Dan roach Fall, But Joe Kiota, Hi, Devin, 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: I know what the bottom line is always winning with 65 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: you in this team. But if you feel it feel 66 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: good after having an extra day to get out there 67 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: together as a team to try to get ready for 68 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: this game. But do you feel like you're making a 69 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: little bit of progress every single day and getting towards 70 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: where you need to be? Obviously the W is the 71 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: biggest thing though. Yeah, like I said, man, a team 72 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: works hard. We've been working hard, you know, we don't. 73 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: We don't just go out there and not show up 74 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: in practice and everything looked bad like that hasn't been 75 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: the case. Um, But like I said, all that stuff, 76 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, it matters to get to Sunday. But once 77 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: we get there, it's executing the things we've done during 78 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: the week. It's the confidence of knowing and going out 79 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: there and playing hard, playing fast and executing. So I 80 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: think that's what we gotta do. And um, you know, 81 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: like you said, it's been a progress is we're all 82 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: into the process of doing a day, day out. Um, 83 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: we just gotta we gotta go out there and make 84 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: a win happen. You know, I think gods have the 85 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: right mentality and mindset. But once we get out there, 86 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: it's it's winning, you know. Different matchups individually, it's winning 87 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: certain plays, doing a little bit more than they're doing 88 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: to really turn the couple plays that we've had, U 89 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 1: turn the game around and make it a win instead 90 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: of a tough thought loss. Thank you. Next question Joe 91 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Kota fall by Ian Steel. Hey, Dev, I know David 92 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Harrison earlier, you know, no moral victories in that last game. 93 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: He didn't get to win. But um, I guess to 94 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: carry over some of the good things you guys did 95 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: in the second act with complimentary football, and you kind 96 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: of take something from the end of last week despite 97 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: the loss, and and bring that into this league. Yeah. 98 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: I mean every every game in this league, you take 99 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: some stuff that you did well and you try to 100 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: continue it and and stuff you didn't do well, you 101 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: try to fix it. That's the weekend and week out. So, um, 102 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: I think that's been our mindset, you know coming off 103 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: this game, this past game Sunday, is the things we 104 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: did well to try to you know, improve those and 105 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: continue and then obviously things we didn't do well. It 106 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: is trying to get those fixed in a hurry. So 107 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that stuck out is 108 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: we got to just come out like you just said, 109 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: we did some good things in the second half. We 110 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: got to translate that to the first half. Aminem put 111 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: a full sixty minutes together of you know, good football, 112 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: complimentary football, all those things, of trying to do it 113 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: more consistently throughout the whole game. Thanks. Next next question, 114 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: Bob so Seen, Good afternoon, Devin. What's up at hey? 115 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: You've seen Patrick Chung play essentially a linebacker spot in 116 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: the past, and you often spent a lot of time 117 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: down close to the line of scrimmage, and this year 118 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of Adrian Phillips and Terrence Brooks. 119 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: What's your level of respect for what it takes at 120 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: their size and the position they're trained to play initially 121 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: to go in there and kind of give up their 122 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: bodies the way they have to in the defense, and 123 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: especially of late, a ton of respect those guys can. 124 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: They're able to do stuff in our defense that I 125 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: struggle with that I can't do. So, UM, it's always 126 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: enjoyable to talk to them about those things, and you know, 127 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: see how they played and fitted and obviously, like you said, 128 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: with Chung over the last couple of years, UM, in 129 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: our relationship, we always talk about those things, and um, 130 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: you know last year when he would go down sometimes 131 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: filling that role. Um, you know, I know firsthand how 132 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: tough that is, dealing with three hundred pounders coming up 133 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: to you and you got to take them on. So um, 134 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: But we got a lot of tough guys and Ap 135 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: and T Brooks definitely falling that m. Guys who love hitting, 136 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: love trying to be explosive, um, and have no problem 137 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: really doing what's best for the team. So I say 138 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: both those guys have obviously filled a big role with 139 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: with Pat not here this year and m continue to, 140 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: I would say, dude, some of the tough things in 141 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: our defense, um, and they played the role pretty good, 142 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, especially when they're outside in they're just fighting 143 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: and trying to hold their own and follow up related 144 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: to Mike Giardi's second question, you were a player that 145 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: started really an involvement at the local level with the 146 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: local DA race in Suffolk County, and you've been involved 147 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: on Beacon Hill with your fellow players coalition members. Speaking 148 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: of the turnout and specifically in urban areas, do you 149 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: how much gratification should the Players Association players the NFL 150 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: take and the fact that maybe they and fellow authletes 151 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: helped to drive it. I think ninety percent of NFL 152 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: players a recent study showed, had registered to vote this year. 153 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Is there some satisfaction that, you know, what started at 154 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: a very low level locally, you know, has grown to 155 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: what it has in such a short period of time. 156 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: And do you anticipate you know, more of that in 157 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: the future. I hope so. I think, especially for me, 158 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: I feel very fortunate and blessed. I've gotten to be 159 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: around a lot of people to have dedicated their life. 160 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: I studied, you know, all these things grash Organs zations 161 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: that really opened my eyes to different things, and I've 162 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: just been able to pass knowledge show um. Like you said, obviously, 163 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: players will get praised for different things of you know, 164 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: making PSAs registering, going out there voting and encouraging others. 165 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: But I would just say I would hope a lot 166 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: of those people behind the scenes I've given us information 167 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: that have helped us really you know, take a bow 168 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: and know how much their hard work is really paid 169 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: off by really equipping us to go out there and 170 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: do and spread a message that we've learned a lot 171 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: from them. So we'll get praised, but I think it 172 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: really goes to those different people that we've gotten to 173 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: sit down on off days or conference calls or long 174 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: emails with information like that. Stuff is really paid off, 175 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, especially with the different members of the players 176 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: coalition that are non players that really help us stay 177 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: organizing and do the things that you know, we want 178 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: to do as players. Thanks due next question Ian still 179 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: Fall by dead Kite. Thanks Stacy Devin, Thanks for taking 180 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: the time. I remember Sunday after the loss, you said 181 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: that you didn't want to let the team's culture change, 182 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: and with you know a lot of young players getting 183 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: time this year, how are you as a leader making 184 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: sure specifically that the culture and the standard doesn't change 185 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: for you guys just contain to work hard. You know. 186 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: Obviously the culture involves winning, and we haven't done that 187 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: at a good level this year. But it's it's the 188 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: process of making sure the process stays in place, and 189 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: I think that's what it's all about, you know. I 190 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: think the process is what has gotten us to those 191 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: wins um day in and day out, doing you know 192 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: what the coach has asked of us, doing what's in 193 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: front of us each day, and some days that's tougher 194 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: than other days. But it's just kind of that mentality 195 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: of put your head down on work. So I think, 196 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, obviously as a player and an older guys 197 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: doing that day in and day out, and you know, 198 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: I think you don't have to say anything when the 199 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: top guys are doing that. That's how it was when 200 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: I got here at the Vince wolforst to Tom Brady's, 201 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: the Logan Mankins. Whenever you looked at those guys, they 202 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: were working, they were studying, they were doing those things. 203 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: And as a young guy, it's really it's up to 204 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: you to see that. I understand, like, all right, these 205 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: guys are good players around here because they do those things. 206 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: Like if I want to be a good player, like 207 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: that's what I have to do. And I think that's 208 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: what you need to do as a leader, Like you 209 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: can talk to your blue in the face, but I 210 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: think when you show someone exactly what it takes, now 211 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: you have a chance to get that done. So I 212 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: think that goes for myself, Slater Jules, A lot of 213 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: guys that have been here for a while of continue 214 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: to just do that. Thanks. Thanks question Doug Kite fall 215 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: by Philip Perry, Devin, you've had to prepare for Isaiah 216 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: Ford a couple of times. Now, what were your impressions 217 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: of playing against him? Tough guy played in the slot 218 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: a little bit last year when we played in a 219 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: little bit this year. Seems like a versatile guy UM 220 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: that they've used and different you know, situation. So I 221 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: would imagine he's a guy that UM probably can play 222 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: all the different receiver positions because he has played outside 223 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: when we played him. UM don't know a ton about him, 224 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: knows a younger guy, so we've only faced them the 225 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: last couple of times we've played them. So excited to 226 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: get any new guy in here and hopefully we can 227 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: get him up to speed and he can help the 228 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: team out. Thanks. Next question Phil Perry following on that, 229 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: but tour, Hey, Devin, just wanted to ask you. Bill 230 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: has been pretty open and a couple of different interviews 231 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: over the last week or so about how from his perspective, 232 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: this was or this is sort of a readjust the 233 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: cap kind of year from a from a from his standpoint, 234 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: and I'm curious if if you understood going into that's 235 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: this season that that was sort of the case, or 236 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: if you hold the same view now UM, or if 237 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: his comments lately have been packed at how you viewed 238 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: the season at all. I would say some of the 239 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: what my jarge, I'm just trying to be the best safety, 240 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: trying to play football, lead this team. You know, I 241 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: think the rest of that stuff is above my decision making, 242 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: Like I don't control any of that, you know. I 243 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: just started even understand a little bit more about the 244 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: cap over the last couple of years of dead money 245 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I'm just trying to stick 246 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: to what I know XS and ols on the field, 247 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: and um, the rest will be decided by Bill and 248 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: Nick and everybody else in the front office. Devin, if 249 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: I could, I just kind of wanted to fall upon 250 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: a question that that Ian asked you a minute ago 251 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: about the culture and trying to maintain the standard. Has 252 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: it been difficult at all for you and maybe even 253 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: some of the other veteran guys that you mentioned, Um, 254 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, Slater Edelman, you guys have been used to 255 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: kind of having that playoff carrot, that Super Bowl carrot 256 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: even kind of dangling in front of you for for 257 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, the entirety of seasons here since you've been 258 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: here pretty much, you still view that that carrot you 259 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: want to call it that, it's being there for you 260 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: guys this year, knowing what you know in terms of 261 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: where you're sitting the standings. M I always say that's 262 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: something that's always spoken about in the media, but I 263 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: would say, if you probably go through the hundreds of 264 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: hours of tramp scripts from all three of us, it's 265 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: always the next game mentality and preparing for the next game. 266 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: So I know a lot of times when you guys 267 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: hear us say that, you don't believe in what we're saying, 268 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: But for us, that's what it's about. It's the next game. 269 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: So obviously at two and five we shouldn't be sitting 270 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: in this locker room talking about we can't wait to 271 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl. So we just got to 272 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: go out there and try to win one game out 273 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: of time and put good games together, good players together. 274 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: And you know what Bill always tells, to just try 275 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: to string good football together as much as possible. So 276 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: I would say that's really been, you know, the focus 277 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: for all of us of trying to do it. And 278 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: I'll say, obviously, when you're two and five, you're losing, 279 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: like you know, it's frustrating for everybody want to figure 280 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: out how to win. And um, I would say everybody 281 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: in the building from a football standpoint, is trying to 282 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: do that. You know, everyone's trying to figure out how 283 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: to win. You know, our PR department us to like 284 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: everyone's tired of talking about losing, like that's what we're 285 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: dealing with. But the only way to fix that is 286 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: for us to go out there and win a game. 287 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: So I think that's what's really been our focus, um 288 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: this year. Thanks Vin, And last question Matt Vatur. Kevin, 289 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: you mentioned them Patrick Chung earlier, and I'm curious with 290 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: you get some some some teammates and I'm presumably friends 291 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: that that aren't here this year. Are they still kind 292 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: of a part of things in terms of your conversations. 293 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: Are they still keeping in touch and following along? You 294 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: get the feeling like that they're sort of still pretty 295 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: invested in that. Yeah, I mean, I would say Bob 296 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: mentioned Pat first. I didn't. I didn't bring Pat up, 297 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: but um uh yeah, I mean those guys are friends 298 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: for me, so I wouldn't say they are necessarily like 299 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: a part of our day to day on what we're doing. 300 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: Like those guys, they're they're just not here. They can't 301 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: they can't help us go win a game. So but 302 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: for me, y'all still talk to those guys um a 303 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: good amount of the time, checking in and all of 304 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: those things. That it's different, you know, when you go 305 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: from seeing guys every day, I would say, even guys 306 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily opt out, but even guys that changed teams 307 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: and all of that. You still talk to guys once 308 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: in a while, see how their families is doing and 309 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But you know, those guys I know, 310 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: for me are still friends and good friends of mine, 311 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say they're like a part of our 312 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: day to day and game planning and all that stuff. 313 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: You miss them. Yeah, I miss all my guys. I 314 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: miss my guys that left too, miss my guys that retire. 315 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: It's all. It's all love between the guys you get 316 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity to play with and get to know. I 317 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: would say, thank you, Devin, thank you everyone.
