1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Thanks Stacey. Mike, how you doing today? Thanks for taking

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: the time.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: I'm doing good. Thank you.

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 3: Right after watching the tape and reviewing it with the coaches,

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 3: what's your thought on what you guys put together as

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 3: an offensive line yesterday?

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as a whole.

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 4: As a whole, I think we played well, we played together,

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 4: we're communicating, especially for our first game away game, you

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 4: know at that I think we handled it well.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: And Mike, what what areas do you see?

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: You know that you're always looking to get better that

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: you can target in that area.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean I can speak for myself, but

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 4: me personally, I'm just finishing on a couple of plays.

16
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 4: I had a couple of plays that I left out

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 4: there or that I could have did better on technique wise,

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: in just more effort and finish.

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm looking forward to for we too.

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 5: Next question Chris Ryan, Hey, Mike, are.

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: You doing good with up? Chris?

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 5: Just on the run game?

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 6: Uh Grod talked a lot about how that important that's

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 6: going to be this year and that you know remonder

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 6: is underrated? Is the offensive line like that when you

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 6: guys are going to be establishing the run more consistently.

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: Can you say that you said again, Sorry, it kind

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: of cut out right in the middle.

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 6: So you guys are going to focus a lot on

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 6: the run this year and being a run predominant team.

31
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 5: Is that some of the offensive line embraces.

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, I mean we we accept the challenge and

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: you know we wanted to be that way or in

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: terms of us being able to run the ball and

35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 4: being able to depend on that when we need to.

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 6: And have you guys heard a lot of the noise

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 6: in regard to your line and is that something that

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 6: you guys are looking to proove wrong?

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: You know those things are out there.

40
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: People have opinions, but you know, I think for us,

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: we just want to go out there on Sundays and

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: play the best game we practice for us. So obviously

43
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: we deserved the game and you know we practiced two plays,

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 4: so we want to win the game and be dominant

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: as all on.

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thanks question, Bob Socie, Thanks Stace High Michael,

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: it was good.

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 7: I want to ask you about the situation on Saturday,

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 7: you go on the road. It's a big day for

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 7: the Bengals. They're all out in Orange. You know, the

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 7: fans with high expectations, Burrows back a lot of excitement

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 7: in that stadium. How did things go from your standpoint

53
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 7: in the huddle on the sidelines, just the way that

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 7: Jacobe managed the game at the quarterback position operationally, but

55
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 7: also the coaches making adjustments during the course of that game.

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 7: It seemed like you guys were always kind of in

57
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 7: the same state. I'm curious for you.

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say you Cob did a good job

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: and the game plan overall, like we we knew what

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: we were going into and we we knew we had

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: to communicate absolutely with the silent count. I was something.

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: But other than that, you know, we improved on having

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: our tackles up on the linement.

64
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: We didn't get any of those penalties.

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: We had one fall start, so I mean we kept

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: the penalties to a low, but especially for an away game,

67
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: I think we were just we were just having to

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: be prepared.

69
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 7: And Michael, over the course of the last couple of weeks

70
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 7: have been changes with guys claimed off waivers. You've got

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 7: guys injured, Vederian coming back as he did. There's often

72
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 7: a lot of talk about five guys playing as one.

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 7: How are you able to do that? You know, when

74
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 7: you're going through this period where there are people coming

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 7: and going.

76
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think that's something that's that's that's

77
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: one of the interesting things about football, especially as an

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 4: old line. It takes five of us to you know,

79
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: be complete or be the whole. So obviously the guys

80
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: who played are this game were here of this summer

81
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: and we all practice. We played next to each other

82
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: and practiced next to each other. So I think that's

83
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: important to look on and I think just going forward,

84
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: you know, when we get those reps, we're just playing

85
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: with each other, playing next to each other and just communicating,

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: I think that'll go a long way.

87
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: Thank you.

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: Last question Mike Breeks, Mike, I wanted to ask you

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: about Leyden just playing next to him.

90
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: You know, what does he have going for him?

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lee has a bright future ahead of him. He

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: played a good game. He was very physical. I don't

93
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 4: know how many knockdowns he had, but he probably had

94
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: plus five finishes and just being aggressive in the run

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: game and being stout in the past game. So you know,

96
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 4: I'm I'm happy to watch them and I'm happy to

97
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: play next to him.

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: And one one quick follow up on that, Like the

99
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: finishes like talking about how you know plus five like,

100
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: is that something you guys have always measured or is

101
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 3: this like another Scottie Peters thing with the strike system?

102
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: And yeah, I was, that's something that we've always measured.

103
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: I mean, every alarman wants to get pancakes, to get

104
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: finishes and just get full effort.

105
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 2: So it was just out there on the screen. So

106
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Lata did a good job at that.

107
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the time today, of course.

108
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you, Mike and Mike.

109
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: All right, Joe, I think we've talked about this before,

110
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: but there's an old saying that you usually don't hear

111
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: about the snapper unless it's something bad.

112
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you agree.

113
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or if you agree

114
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: with that adage.

115
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: But yesterday, with the play that you made to create

116
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: the fumble, you know, it sort of squashes that.

117
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: I guess is what I'm trying to say, what what.

118
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: How defining is that for you or how fulfilling is

119
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: that for you to have a play like that, you know,

120
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: given that background that I mentioned.

121
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate that, Mike.

122
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 8: It's always a good reminder, you know, having a marginalized

123
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 8: position a very specialty that usually is very much binary.

124
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: And failure success.

125
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 8: You know, I think ever since my name got called

126
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 8: when I got drafted ten years ago, there are probably

127
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 8: some fans that were disappointed. But that being said, I'm

128
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 8: always happy to help the team, you know, and in

129
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 8: that moment, you know, I wasn't necessarily trying to dislodge

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 8: the ball or do anything. I was just trying to

131
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 8: make a play. And you know, proper fundamentals and the

132
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 8: things that we do right paid off.

133
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: And just a quick follow on that, Joe, I mean,

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: I think many people might just think all you do

135
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: is snap, but there's obviously the the pump blocking in

136
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: addition to tackling, in addition to other things. What do

137
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: you do to work on that, Like do you do

138
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: live tackling drills and and can you expound upon that

139
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: if you.

140
00:06:53,200 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 8: Will, Yeah, Mike, I think there'd be a few fans

141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 8: that would be happy to notice the third phase of

142
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 8: the game. You know, so much has talked about offensive

143
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 8: and defensive production, but ultimately one thing we pride ourselves

144
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 8: for a long time in New England is special teams

145
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 8: and for me personally, you know, preparation for those moments

146
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 8: whether it's a punt.

147
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: Rush that we have to block when you.

148
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 8: Know, against a good rush team, or going out there

149
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 8: against the best return men in the world, and you

150
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 8: know we've we work.

151
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: On those things personally.

152
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I want to be be as much of an

153
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 8: athlete as every other person on the field.

154
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: After I do my specialty of.

155
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 8: Long snapping, and then when I'm down there, I want

156
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 8: to fit in just like I am an NFL player,

157
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 8: Like the rest of my teammates.

158
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: We knew the Navy guy wasn't going to be able

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 5: to get through this with how Bob Soci asked him

160
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,280

181
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 8: you know, what I do follow in the footsteps of

185
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: You know, it's really as high an honor as it

186
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: could be. And my hope is just to take some

187
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: of those leadership lessons that.

188
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 8: I've learned along the way, whether that be from the

189
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 8: Naval Academy, my time in the military, you know, or

190
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 8: my time in this building having been here for a

191
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 8: decade the football I've seen the leaders and the men

192
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 8: that have gone before me, you know, to to step

193
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 8: in and carry on their legacy, uh, and and get

194
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 8: to where that Captain c H with pride knowing I'm

195
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 8: representing them as a it's it's an it's a I

196
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 8: hate to speak in platitudes, but it's an incredible honor, you.

197
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: Know, and it's one I take with a lot of reverence, Joe.

198
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 7: In addition to long snapper, personal protector is probably a

199
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 7: position that a lot of people don't you know, recognize

200
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 7: on the field and you know, pay attention to on

201
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 7: the field in that marginal role. You've played with guys

202
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 7: like Nate Ebner and more recently Cody Davis, even Adrian

203
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 7: back there in a role like that, Uh, that role,

204
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 7: the importance of it, and particularly this year with the

205
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 7: changes at that spot, how pleased were you yesterday with

206
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 7: the execution of the unit starting from you know, the

207
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 7: person in that role yesterday and you know, being somebody

208
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 7: who's very young and new to the game, Yeah, I'm.

209
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: Super prouded of the way Dell came out.

210
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 8: You know, he's a he's a he's a good player,

211
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 8: has worked so hard to learn a new position, and realistically,

212
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 8: we're talking about a position that's not played in any

213
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 8: other level of football. Personal protector at the NFL level

214
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 8: is as hard of a position as any other position

215
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 8: on the field. You're a play caller. You have to

216
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 8: diagnose what rushes are gonna come at you. You have

217
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 8: to be that conduit between the punter and the line

218
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 8: and the gunners on the outside.

219
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: It is.

220
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 8: It is an incredibly hard position to play, and like

221
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 8: I said, it's not played in college. Like there's no

222
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 8: personal protector at that level. So you're talking about learning

223
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 8: a completely new position, stepping in and having to do

224
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 8: it at the highest level possible That usually is reserved

225
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 8: for vets. I mean, when you talk about those guys,

226
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 8: whether you're talking about ap Cody Davis or Nate Abner,

227
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 8: you're talking about ten year plus vets and guys that

228
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 8: stepped in to that role. You're talking about a Patrick Chung,

229
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 8: you're talking about Deron Harmon, all guys who played over

230
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 8: a decade in the NFL. It's a very hard position

231
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 8: to play, and you know, I was happy to see

232
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 8: h prepare, and you know, I think that's what gave

233
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 8: us all the confidence is the preparation he had.

234
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 7: In addition to the preparation, obviously he's a very physical player,

235
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 7: which we we could see when he's playing safety and

236
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 7: training camp of the contact practices, what allowed him, what

237
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 7: allows him to to you know, adjust and adapt to

238
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 7: what the responsibilities are, especially given the complexity of a

239
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 7: scheme of a special teams.

240
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: Unit and in the pro game. Yeah, physicality is is key.

241
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 8: Proper fundamentals, but also just having you know, the humility

242
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 8: to say, like, I don't know what this position is

243
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 8: at this level, I'm gonna.

244
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: Do everything I can to learn it.

245
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 8: And you know, talk to the veteran players, talk to myself,

246
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 8: talk to Slater schooler, Jelani ray Kwan, all the guys

247
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 8: that are on the line of scrimmage. I mean you

248
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 8: talk about having Jabrill, Pepper's and Jay and Hawkins out there.

249
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: You know, you have a lot of veteran guys to.

250
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 8: Help help him see what's in front of him and

251
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 8: to diagnose and and you know that's that helped in

252
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 8: his preparation for for the game, and you know it's

253
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 8: going to help him continue throughout the season.

254
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: Do you appreciate it?

255
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 5: Thank you, Hi, Johnny, congrats on the win.

256
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 9: I just wanted to ask what you saw out of

257
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 9: Keon White in that game, obviously two and a half sacks,

258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 9: Just what you saw from him?

259
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 10: I saw a player who just was preparing for the

260
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 10: week like a vet and uh, when when his opportunity

261
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 10: to came, he took full advantage of everything. And I'm

262
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 10: just super proud of all the hard work and effort

263
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 10: that he's put into it. Right.

264
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 5: Next question Chris Ryan, followed by Bob Suci Johnny hoopeball

265
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 5: as well.

266
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 6: With you just looking over the game tape today, what

267
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 6: did you what do you see what stood out? You know,

268
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 6: maybe that you didn't feel a person about the performance.

269
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 10: Oh, I think defensively, Uh, I think if you look

270
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 10: at every clip, it's about ten or eleven guys literally

271
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 10: and the like at the ball. You know, that's something

272
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 10: that's we preach about. That's something that we uh demand

273
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 10: every every play, every even at practice. You know, we

274
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 10: do our best to run the ball because you never

275
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 10: know in situations, you know, such as like the play

276
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 10: where Doug made that force fumble. You saw everybody on

277
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 10: our defense swarm into the ball to get there, and

278
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 10: you know, I think it wasn't by luck, It wasn't

279
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 10: by a chance that that you know, we recovered in

280
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 10: and you know got as much yardage after that. So

281
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 10: I think that was the biggest thing that I took

282
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 10: away from watching the film and also how aggressive we

283
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 10: were playing, you know, every hit, every every time our

284
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 10: linebackers came downhill read one on one block, or anytime

285
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 10: our d lemon were getting after the quarterback. They are

286
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 10: just super aggressive. So that's something that we want to

287
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 10: just cut, you know, continue, and that's that's what we'll

288
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 10: try to bring to the Seahawks.

289
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 6: Rod had said that that was basically going to be

290
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 6: the identity of this group, physical bass, click to the

291
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 6: ball when it comes to executing on that.

292
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 5: Is that mostly a game plan thing? Is it just

293
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 5: who you guys are as athletes?

294
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 10: Just our identity, that's our that's that's our identity as

295
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 10: a as a defensive player, and it's just someone who

296
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 10: wants to be a part of our defense. You know,

297
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 10: we were not going to sit there on our heels

298
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 10: and allow offenses to dictate anything. So we're going to

299
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 10: do our best to you know, come downhill, smack somebody

300
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 10: in the mouth, and continue to do it each and

301
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 10: every player.

302
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: Thank you.

303
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 5: An expression Bob by Karen Gregen July.

304
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 7: Picking up on that you mentioned the d lineman and

305
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 7: the linebackers coming downhill. I want to ask you about

306
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 7: a veteran cornerback who had quite a bit of ground.

307
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 7: It seemed to close and stop. Uc vosh number eighty

308
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 7: short of her first doname to catch in the right flat,

309
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 7: and Jonathan was right there at the point of contact

310
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 7: right on the reception.

311
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 10: Jay Jones is that's by far one of the strongest

312
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 10: blue collar he's you can name it whatever it is,

313
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 10: that's that's who Jay Jones is, you know, and that

314
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 10: guy is one of our strongest leaders. And we're not

315
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 10: even surprised of what the outcome was. We knew that.

316
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 10: We knew that if it was a one on one

317
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 10: tackle with anybody I'm putting up I mean, I can't

318
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 10: do that, but I would put my money on John

319
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 10: Jones if that's the case, you know. So I'm not

320
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 10: even surprised about what happened on that playoff because it's

321
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 10: John Jones.

322
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 5: You know.

323
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: We've absolutely seen it before. Yeah. Yeah.

324
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 7: And lastly, just follow up about the mentality. How much

325
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 7: of that too for this particular team goes back to

326
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 7: even the first hours of padded practice, thinking about how

327
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 7: physical you guys were. It's the first time that I

328
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 7: can recall in recent memory seeing guys being tackled to

329
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 7: the ground in the middle of the field that first practice.

330
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 7: That's certainly an exception from the way a lot of

331
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 7: teams conduct training camp.

332
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 10: Now, yeah, I think that's just the way that male

333
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 10: wants to run things. You know, we want to we

334
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 10: want to emphasize the fact that that's how we we

335
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 10: you know, we do things here in New England. We

336
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 10: want to make sure that we were able to run

337
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 10: the ball, secure our tackles and tackle hard and then

338
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 10: also cover kicks and you know, in in this past game,

339
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 10: we were able to show that it's our job to

340
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 10: do that weekend, week out.

341
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 5: Gat Thank you. Yeah, the last question is Karen Kim

342
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 5: Yeah good, are you good?

343
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: Thanks?

344
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 9: Uh Coach Mayo uh Is praised the players for the win,

345
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 9: but he says, it's just one win. How important is

346
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 9: it going to be for you guys to kind of

347
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 9: move on, you know, move on, get past it. You

348
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 9: know it was great, but get onto the next you know,

349
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 9: the next mission.

350
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 10: Uh No, it's very important. You know, today was our

351
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 10: last day to you know, have that feeling. I guess

352
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 10: about the win, and you know, tomorrow's a new week.

353
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 10: Tomorrow starts the new week, and really tonight does because

354
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 10: we got to move past this past weekend and get

355
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 10: ready for Seattle. Seattle's got a a really good offense

356
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 10: and and they're very explosive, so we gotta dial in

357
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 10: and dive into the playbook and and you know, see

358
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 10: what their key players are doing, see how we can

359
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 10: disrupt them and be that aggressive defense that we can be.

360
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 9: Still, one last question regarding being an aggressive defense and

361
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 9: the physicality that you guys play with, is that something

362
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 9: over the course of seventeen games is sustainable.

363
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's onto the players. You know, they got to prepare,

364
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 10: you know, throughout the whole year. So that's taking care

365
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 10: of their bodies, whether it's getting extra time in the

366
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 10: training room or or when we're out of the building,

367
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 10: making sure that they go get extra work done. So

368
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 10: that's on us as veterans to help the younger guys

369
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 10: and for us vets to also know that, you know,

370
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 10: we are getting older, but it's our job and duty

371
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 10: to make sure that we're doing everything possible to make

372
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 10: sure that we still young, we still feel young and

373
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 10: like fresh for a long season. So because we're literally

374
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 10: only a week two, so yeah, but I'm excited.

375
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 9: Thanks Gilani no problem, Thank you Gilanne, Thanks everyone,
