So figuring and some 27 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: of it would also. 28 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean still I feel like practices 29 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: where you kind of are able to rEFInd those things more. 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: But the off season is just working as hard as 31 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: I can and be in as good of shape as 32 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: I can to be out there. 33 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: Availability is the best ability. 34 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: So it's a like entering camp instead of the contract year. 35 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely for us it's a little foreign, but you know, 36 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: the business aspect is part of the game just for you. 37 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: How do you approach this a career year and you. 38 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: Know last year contract and sort of things that can 39 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: happen with another video. I mean yeah, I kind of 40 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: I just let my agents handle that stuff. I mean like, 41 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: I'm not one to really like to talk about or 42 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: you know, try to overthink things I can't really control. 43 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: I like to just control the controllables. 44 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: And that's coming out here with my teammates each day, 45 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: giving it everything I got, trying to get better and. 46 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: That's all I could control.

You know, 77 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: you got to learn until you die. I mean whenever 78 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: you think you know everything, that's when it's over for 79 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 2: over for you. So just trying to improve on every 80 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: aspect of the game and just trying to be the 81 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: best player could be. 82 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: Bro. So so it's a soccer. 83 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: Okay for a year curious but to reactions bad do? 84 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: I mean, it all depends on their perspective. Maybe money 85 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: isn't everything for them. Maybe it's like legacy competition. You 86 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: never know the different aspects of reasons. But yeah, I 87 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: mean money isn't everything to some people. You know, some 88 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: people have enough money. You know they're comfortable with that, 89 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: you know, enough money. So that might be his reason. 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: I don't know, but good for him though, at least 91 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: having that option never bad things. 92 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: So taking the money out of what is most for 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: my future? 94 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: Uh, just being somewhere I'm wanted, I guess, just somewhere appreciated, 95 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: somewhere where I could give it everything I got. And yeah, bro, 96 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: wherever I'm wanted, I'm trying to go. So That's That's 97 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: what it comes down to. 98 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: Bro. 99 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to help the team, you know, contribute, 100 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: That's all I want to do. 101 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: You contributed defense. That's a lot of year I wanted 102 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: to break through here. 103 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: You're still the time to put down take how much 104 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: you get to value that toping of piculation. 105 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: With this particular teams. 106 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: I mean definitely, I've been on a special team since 107 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: the moment I got here, you know, from a rookie, 108 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: and I understand it's a big phase of the game 109 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: here in New England, and it's an honor. It's definitely 110 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: a responsibility you have to take seriously, just like you 111 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: take defense seriously. So it's just another phase of the 112 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: game that I have to, you know, work as hard 113 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: as I can at and you know, just improve on 114 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 2: as and uh yeah, it's another way to contribute. 115 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of talk around the league if 116 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: kind of position less offensive players in San Francisco has 117 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: going on? Is the versatility do you guys have on 118 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 3: DA comes with guys like Dugger and mobling some of 119 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: those guys. Is that a way to kind of combat that? 120 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: Uh, I'll be honest, I I'm just a player that's 121 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: more of a Bill coach, you know, a Bill question. 122 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: I mean it's probably I mean those guys do everything. 123 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: I mean, versatility is the best. You know, it's like 124 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: a Swiss army knife. Bro, you could do a little 125 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: bit of everything. So it's like it's a compliment of course. 126 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: But you know, I leave that to coach Belichick. He's 127 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: kind of the guru, so he he'll know better than 128 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: I do. So yeah, when they see a double team, 129 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: double team, Uh, I gotta win, So that kind of 130 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: that's all I think about winning. 131 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: Is there any life you know? I expect to be 132 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: sent to that appen? Not for real? 133 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: Just like it's making it a little harder to do 134 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: my job. So I still gotta win. So doing my 135 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: best to defeat whatever's thrown in front of me. 136 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: Do you feel like you can get better as a 137 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: casus or you can put different pads on? 138 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: Of course, there's always something you could work on, Like 139 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: even when you're not at practice, you could be doing 140 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: stuff to get better. So you know, just because you 141 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: don't have pads on doesn't mean you can't get better. 142 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: Josh, what was the most important lesson you took away 143 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 3: from last season? 144 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: Uh? 145 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: Control the controllables. I mean, you know, it doesn't matter 146 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: what the scoreboard is. Uh, it doesn't matter what play 147 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: just happened before. If you focus on, you know, the 148 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: moment and what you can control in the moment, then 149 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 2: you'll be all right, you know, just you know, brick 150 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: by brick, moment by moment, and then you'll be where 151 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 2: you want to be. 152 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: Guys, what does that apply to potential contracts? 153 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: Better on too? The same sort of philosophy. Control of 154 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: the fold, control the controllerble bro, That's all it comes 155 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: down to. I mean, all I can control is my effort. 156 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: So yeahs like a lot of guys, the contract on 157 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: the team for next year to the rest of it, 158 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 3: it feels like there's an opportunity there for a for 159 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: younger players to kind of work their way to feel 160 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 3: the core of this keyboard out.
