1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,559 Speaker 1: And Tom Brady on his phone right now. I'm hoping, Tom, 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: you're not holding anybody up in a line or anything 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: at the drive through, are you. What do you mean 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about people who are on their phones at 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: inappropriate times. Oh no, I'm not doing that. I just 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: dropped my kids off at school and going to drive 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: down the stadium and get to work. We were talking 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: about a school in Alaska high school that banned cell phones, 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: and some parents were really upset about that. Really, I 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: didn't know that, Yeah, so I don't. I don't know. 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk a lot about parenting when when 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: you're on the show. It's it's one of those things 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: where you want to you want to give your kids 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: phones so that they can use them in an emergency, 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: but they can also spend a lot of time on them. 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Well everybody spends a lot of time 17 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: on them. So that's why apples worth like whatever, four 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars or something like that. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, 19 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: you had more sacks yesterday, and you had the previous 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: four games combined, so I guess I wanted to start 21 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: off and ask how you were feeling this morning. I'm 22 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: doing good. I'm doing good. I we got UM. You know, 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: one thing that's actually been great to start the season 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: is we've had a lot of one o'clock games. So 25 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: you know, you come out the preseason where you basically 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: play at night and you don't get really any good sleep, 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, any of those four preseason games as night 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: to the regular season where basically had one o'clock games 29 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: outside of the the opener. So we got home at 30 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: a decent time, and so it actually feels pretty good. 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: I got a good night's sleep and gonna get ready 32 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: to We gotta obviously a very quick turnaround, and we 33 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: gotta put a lot of you know, just time and energy, 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean really from now right up until game time 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: to get ready for our next game and kind of 36 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: put the last one behind us and then move forward 37 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: as best we can. How do you feel about Thursday 38 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: night football? Do you do? You feel like it's it's 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: an issue as far as getting back getting players back 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: on the field so quick. I don't, you know, I don't, 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't mind him. I mean, I um, I've played 42 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: quite a few over the course of my career, dating 43 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: back to UM you know, Thanksgiving Day games, my rookie year. 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: We played there. I think my two thousand and two 45 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: we may play in Detroit. You know, we played there 46 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: quite a bit, so we got used those and they 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: made him kind of every team had a Thursday night game, 48 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: so if you handle it, you know, and you use 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: your preparation wisely and you can go get a win. 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: It's I think it's pretty cool on the back end 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: to have the weekend to kind of rest and recovers. 52 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: So you know, I just I kind of line up 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: and play when they tell us to play Monday night, 54 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Sunday night, Sunday day, Thursday night. And playing football's something 55 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: I love doing. So you schedule it, I'll be there. 56 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: We had boomersias and on last hour and asked him 57 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: about a concern if he had one for this team, 58 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: and he brought up the old line, and I know 59 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: that's kind of a work in progress, as you guys 60 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: would say. I wanted to get your thoughts on how 61 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: that's coming along. And when it comes to your protection, 62 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: I think those guys are playing great football the past. 63 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: Protection has been great all season, so you know there's 64 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: a really tough, hard working group up there. Ted Joe 65 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: Marcus Shack Marshall's been in there. You know, we've had 66 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts at that position dating back 67 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: to training camp. You know, we added a bunch of 68 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: new players right after the final cuts, so for Dante 69 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: Scarnecki to get all those guys together, and then dealing 70 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: with Isaiah Wind's injury, been dealing with David Andrews. I mean, 71 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: I think that's been pretty exceptional with those guys have accomplished. 72 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: So I'm very proud of them. We said we got 73 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: the run game goaling yesterday a little bit, which was great. 74 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: Took you know, anytime you do that, it's just it's 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: a whole different game when we're running the ball and 76 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: making a lot of yards per attempt, become very efficient. 77 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: So those guys take a lot of pride in that, 78 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: and we're gonna need that again this week. I'm gonna 79 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: ruin Nick's life when I tell you what he tweeted yesterday. 80 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: But but he tweeted at the end of the first 81 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: half that he felt like the offense was a little 82 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: bit broken, and I was wondering kind of if you 83 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: might address kind of that first half as opposed to 84 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: the second half yesterday offense wise, Yeah, we you know, 85 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: there's I think that we're just we're definitely uh, you know, 86 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: showing a lot of inconsistency, and I think that first 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: half was was very much um you know what it's been. 88 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: So again, we've had a lot of moving parts on 89 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: offense too, with you know, guys being in and out 90 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: at skill positions, you know, running back at the tight 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: end position, UM, you know, at the receiver position. Phil 92 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: went out after about four plays yesterday, so you know, 93 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: a lot of guys get forced into different roles and um, 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think the reality is that's football, that's 95 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: the NFL, that's um, you know, but the course of 96 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: sixteen games, it's very hard to believe that your entire 97 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: offense is going to stay healthy, which it's basically not. 98 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: There's one hundred percent injury rate in the NFL. So 99 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: I think the point is, as you just you know, 100 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: it's not always going to go great in the first quarter, 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: it's always going to be great in the second quarter. Um, 102 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: it's not always going to go great through three quarters. 103 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: But you play sixteen minutes of football, you try to 104 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: make adjustments throughout. UM. I thought our coaches offensively did 105 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: a great job of justin going into halftime and we 106 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: just found some different things that we liked and then 107 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: came a little bit more efficient on offense, and that 108 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: was a good way to you know, score three touchdowns 109 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: in the second half. That's that's always a good feeling. 110 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: You always talk about how much you love playing for 111 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: this franchise and for these fans, and so you know, 112 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: this morning, we're taking some calls and we we we 113 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: hear some you know a little bit of negativity here 114 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: and there about about the offense. And I was wondering 115 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: if it's if if it's weird to you, or if 116 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: you will embrace it. When you have a fan base 117 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: that has a football team that is five and zero 118 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: and they still wake up on Monday morning and they 119 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: feel a little bit negative, well, I think that's our 120 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: society in general. I think society in general is a 121 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: little bit negative on everything. So I think that just 122 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: speaks to a much larger you know, not necessarily football, 123 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: but life in general. So we have a great fan 124 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: base and you know, they support us. You know, we've 125 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: seen that in some of the biggest moments. That our 126 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: parade and the Yessa and DC was pretty cool. But 127 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: I you know, I've been a fan too, and I 128 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: understand that when it doesn't go great, you know, you 129 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: get to you know, you get the voice, your opinion 130 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: and so forth. And you know that just comes with 131 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: being a professional athlete. You know, you get boot a lot, 132 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: you get cheered a lot. I think a lot of 133 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: it is you just have to be mentally tough to 134 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: not believe the hype when it's going great and then 135 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: just to focus on doing your job when it's um, 136 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: when it's not going great. So I mean that's just 137 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: part of it. And um, you know you take the 138 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: good with the bad, and you just again, I think 139 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down to mental toughness. And 140 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: when you put yourself in the position that we're in, 141 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, you get a chance every week through out 142 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: there and put on a great show. And I think 143 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: it's frustrating for all of us when it doesn't go 144 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: the way that we hoped. Um, But I you know, 145 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: if you think about it, I think five and those. 146 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't be record wise any better than that. So, um, 147 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, for us as an offense, you know, we've 148 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: gotta figure out how to be more consistent, how to 149 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: be more dependable, and um, you know we have some 150 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: obviously a long road ahead, you know, a lot of 151 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: tough games. You know, we're not even you know, not 152 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: even a third of the way through the season. So um, 153 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, we've got a well, we're basically a third, 154 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: little little under a third, so we've got a lot 155 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: of time to improve. We've got a lot of practices 156 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: to improve, um, and that's what we're going to try 157 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: to do. You mentioned the fans yesterday. I mean, does 158 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: that almost feel like a home game when you're on 159 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: the road and there's that many Patriots fans there? It 160 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: was pretty cool, man, it really was. We've had some 161 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: cool road environments and that was from the time we 162 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: ran out frokening warm ups. It was almost all Patriot fans. 163 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: It was probably seventy thirty So pretty amazing to have 164 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: that on the road and just to kind of see 165 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: our fans come out and support us, and you know, 166 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: I tell like a home game for us. So I 167 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: was pretty sweet. Yeah, Tom, I was there, man, it 168 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: was Foxboro, mid Atlantic, it was all Pats fans. It 169 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: was incredible. Yeah, you guys have played four road games 170 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: so far the season, basically because Miami was a Pat 171 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: stakeover and so was DC. Yesterday. Yeah, that was pretty good, yep. 172 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: And yesterday we've decided that the Needham Bank Player of 173 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: the game is Bob's eleven Julian Edelman eight catches for 174 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten yards in a touchdown. Can you 175 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,119 Speaker 1: talk about how important it is when you're feeling frustrated 176 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: offensively or you just don't have that continuity to get 177 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: jewels going? And is he the spark that kind of 178 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: gets the rhythm going on offense. Well, he's he's he's 179 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: been around for a long time. He's experience, he's I mean, 180 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: he's one of the best players in the in the 181 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, enfranchise, in the history of the franchise. So 182 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: when you think of some of the great receivers we had, 183 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean, Julian's right it there at the top. So 184 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to get him the ball and 185 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: you know he's making a lot of yards within his hands, 186 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: and you know, we put a lot on Julian. Julian's 187 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: a very smart player, very tough. I mean he's mentally 188 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: physically tough. I mean what he's gone through the last 189 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: few weeks with his with his injury and then still 190 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: just laying it on the line and he's see even 191 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: on that catch and run there in the third quarter, 192 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: him to come diving over the pile. He's just you know, 193 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: he's he's an incredible player, an incredible teammate. And you know, 194 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: the more we get him the ball, you know, the 195 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: better it is for our whole offense. How does he 196 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: react when you get fired up at him? I don't, 197 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, I don't get too fired up at him. 198 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's got a great level of intensity. 199 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean I feel like he's always in a great 200 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: frame of mind. So um so it's more calming him down, 201 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: you know. I think that's kind of where he's at 202 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: because he's he's you know, he's got he's a he's 203 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: a bat. You know, he's a fighter. So he wants 204 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: to go out there and battle it out. And he's 205 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: he's in there getting scrappy with the you know, with 206 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: the safeties and run blocking, and he's you know, talking 207 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: smack when he's running route. So I think it's just 208 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: more getting him to save his energy. I can't, you know, 209 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: for the offensive plays. I talked to him about that 210 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: a lot and keeping him focus. But I mean, he 211 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: had a great game yesterday. All the receivers. Did you 212 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: know they they played great? Josh played great, Um, tight 213 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: ends made and plays. You know, the backs ran good. 214 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: I know it wasn't perfect out there, are defense played 215 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: spectacular and um, you know the way our defense is playing, 216 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: as long as we don't turn it over, you know, 217 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: we got we know we got a great chance to 218 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: win as they're they're playing as well as any defense 219 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: I've never played with, which is just it's really spectacular 220 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: to watch from the sideline. Yeah, I don't want to 221 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: go rank on this, but I mean you you because 222 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: you know that's that's next area. But I mean you 223 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: you you would rank this at the at the highest 224 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to the defenses that you had the 225 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to play with. I mean, I think it's just 226 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: look at the stats to five weeks. I think they're 227 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, they're just they're very good in the secondary. 228 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: They've got really great players. They got a great rush, 229 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, linebackers, they're so versatile. Um, they're so well coached. 230 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just fun to watch so um only 231 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: five games in the year. I'm sure they got to 232 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: they think they got a lot to prove, but it's 233 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: just fun from the sideline, knowing that you know, a 234 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: punt and end in every possession with a kick, whether 235 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: a punt or a field goal or an extra point. Um, 236 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: you know is going to be great for our team. 237 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: So um, you know, they're just they're doing an incredible job, 238 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: and you know, I just want to just let's keep 239 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: it going. You pass Brett five in career passing yards yesterday. 240 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: You will likely pass Peyton Manning on Thursday night. What 241 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: does that mean to you, Tom? Well, you know again, 242 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: I consider all those really, you know, team awards, and 243 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: I have the privilege of playing with so many great 244 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: players over the years and representing our team and our 245 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: coaches and mister Kraft and his family. It's it's been 246 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: a privilege for me. So I could never imagined playing 247 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: twenty years in the NFL. I could never imagine, you know, 248 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: everything that's happened over the course of my career. So 249 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: I've looked up to Brett, I looked up to Peyton. 250 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: There's been some really spectacular players that have played in 251 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. And again, I just I love doing what 252 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing. I love playing football, and you know, hopefully 253 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: I can keep it going too. All right, Tom, here 254 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: comes the old Foxboro fanboy question of the week. And uh, 255 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: just uh, just so you know, don't sweat that dollar, 256 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: I said Joe to me last week. That's fine. Then 257 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: well we'll let that one go this time. Okay, I'll 258 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: try to earn it. I'll try to earn it back. Okay, 259 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: I already put the dollar in the swear jar. Anyway, 260 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate because I know you're good for it. You're 261 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and I I know you're good for it. So yeah, 262 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: you're likely to pass. Peyton Manning and career yardage Thursday night. 263 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: And there was a clip last week that kind of 264 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: went viral from Peyton Manning's show that he does on 265 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: ESPN where they were putting together bladders of footballs and 266 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: the guy said, this makes it more appliable, and Peyton said, 267 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: plubable sounds like Tom Brady. And it got me thinking 268 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: Brady Manning, and I was just curious, do you miss 269 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: the Brady Manning rivalry as much as a lot of 270 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: the rest of us fans do, because you know, we 271 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: used to just set our clocks in our calendars by it, 272 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: and it's been gone for a couple of years, and 273 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: I'm just curious if you missed those matchups as much 274 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: as we do, well, I you know I do. I mean, 275 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: you know I love playing against him. Um, I just 276 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: knew that every time we played, you know, a Peyton 277 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: Manning led team, you you know, you would have to 278 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: just be so good because you knew he was going 279 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: to be and you know, we had so many significant 280 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: games over the years, you know, for it was an 281 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: incredible rivalry. And again, I think Peyton was just one, 282 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, one of the very best to ever play. 283 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: Obviously that goes without saying. And anytime you play those games, 284 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: it's just it's it feels different. And you know, those 285 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: games have kind of coming gone, which is pretty unique 286 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: for me to see, you know, different players and see 287 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: a different generation. I have a lot more perspective, i think, 288 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: on the NFL now than ten years ago. And but yeah, 289 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: I mean I miss seeing him play. He was He 290 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: was spectacularlys you know, he was the epitome of how 291 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: to play quarterback in the NFL, and I learned a 292 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: lot from him. Quarterback Question of the Week and it's 293 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: from seven eight one Texter who says that there's been 294 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about the young receivers last few weeks. 295 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: How do you feel when it comes to those guys 296 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: about that young receiver corps kind of stepping up their 297 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: their efforts. Well, we've got again, we got a lot 298 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: of new players in there. So, um, you know, our 299 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: passing game is is evolving and we're trying different things 300 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: to try to produce yards and so forth yards points 301 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: and not make mistakes. So you know, everyone's getting different 302 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: turns and looks and route combinations and route detail and 303 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: really comes down to trust and execution and confidence. So, um, 304 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: we're working at it. I mean, it's again I said 305 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: last week, it's it's always a work in progress. You're 306 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: never you never feel like you're there. So we're just 307 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: going to keep working at it, and you know, see 308 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: if we can make some improvements over the next you know, 309 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: we played five games. See if we can make some 310 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: more improvements over the next you know, five games? All right, Tom, 311 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: Before you go, I want to ask you about them. 312 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: The house and just the the price change. Is there 313 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: any chance that could ever get down into like a 314 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: level where you know, maybe maybe I could maybe I 315 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: could afford that afford that. How low are you gonna 316 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna go that low? Or no, we'll see, 317 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: we'll see. Um, yeah, let's see. And I assume that 318 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: that's that's you know everybody spect are you Let me 319 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: ask you this because I think this is curious. Do 320 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: you do you find the speculation about the house with 321 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: regard to you to be kind of interesting, funny, curious. 322 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: I don't follow, you know, I don't follow too much. Again, 323 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm so I'm into football and just working hard every 324 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: day to try to, you know, help our teams. So yeah, 325 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not thinking too much, you know anything else. No, 326 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: I know, it's just it's interesting to me. It's like, 327 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: you know, normal real estate stuff goes on and people 328 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: are always they're speculating. But I guess that's what we do. 329 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: That's what we're here for, to speculating about Tom. Righty good. 330 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: I like speculations, speculation, it's always enjoyable and hypotheticals and 331 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: all those good things.
