00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: so much. Our guys talk. Our guys were pretty complimentary

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: of you, Like David Andrews talked about how how tough

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: you were to go up against. So yeah, and we

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: saw you, you know, a couple of times a year,

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: but more just from a standpoint of from I was

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: curious from your perspective to go off the board that fest,

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: how it unfolded and what it was like. That's pretty

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: good man. Just you know, getting a call from coach

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: my agent, you know, Coach Belichick called him. But I

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: mean the whole process, I mean we kind of been

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, going back and forth. You know, Belichick reached

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: out to my agent j Rosenhaus and just said, you

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: know how and press he was with me, you know,

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: going against me, you know, every year. So I mean

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I figured, like, you know, there's a chance that I

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: was going to be somewhere in individend by playing you know,

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: these guys every year, you know, in competing hard because

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: these guys every year, and the respect I had for

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: these guys every year. So you know, it was a

30
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: bit you know, shocking, you know, saying you know, the

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: New England Patrons called me, but you know it was

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: happy at the same time. You know, I was very

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: happy to get my name called and uh, you know

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, Draft Day all over again,

35
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, you know, getting my name called by coach

36
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: Belichick and we agreed on the deal and coming to

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Bill a New England patron just quick follow. I mean,

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: is that one of those things where it's you get

39
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: the offer and you're going or are you sort of

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: weighing a challenging, you know decision. I mean, of course,

41
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I had the way out, you know,

42
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: all my options, but you know, I just feel like,

43
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, it was a no brainer. For me because

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: the scheme, you know, I'm from me with the scheme,

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, with Brian Flores in Miami, so you know,

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same scheme. You know, I played

47
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: the scheme in college too, so it's kind of no

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: braining for me. You know, I feel like, you know,

49
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: I fit best in this scheme. You know, I thrived

50
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: in this scheme. You know, I feel like this, this,

51
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: this scheme best fit my skill set. So, I mean,

52
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: I can play in any scheme, but I feel like

53
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: this scheme might here best fit my skill set. So

54
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: and being able to being coached by you know, argument

55
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: the greatest coach all the time. I mean, that was

56
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: no braining. Next questions in MC pride, followed by Nikomalley. Hey,

57
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: if I'm just kind of building off that when you

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: say the scheme fits you? What kind of player the

59
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Patriots getting? And you know, what where do you fit

60
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: best in this in this scheme? Where do you where

61
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: do you work best? I can play, you know, I

62
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: can play a lot of positions. I feel like I'm

63
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: pretty multiple, you know, uh, you know, just me, you know,

64
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: having my confidence, uh and being you know, being confident

65
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: about it. But I feel like nose tips about rive,

66
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, being one one with the center. You know,

67
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, like that's a mismatch in

68
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: my favor, you know, being one one with the center.

69
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: But I feel like, I mean, you know two, I

70
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: like three, teg. You know, I feel like any any

71
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: part of this team need me to play. I mean

72
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: anything coach Butler Check need me to play. I feel like,

73
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: you know I'll be I'll be able to play, you know.

74
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's up to him, you know, whatever thing,

75
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: whatever technique, whatever whatever scheme. He feel like, you know

76
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: that I fit in best for him. But I mean

77
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: I can, I can play whatever. So I'm just happy

78
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: to do, like whatever the team needs to win. And

79
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: speaking of going up against the center, what if it

80
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: be in your impressions of David Andrews the last couple

81
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: of years, I mean, I love he's coming back. I

82
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: mean he's a great guy. He's a smart guy. You know,

83
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: he's a very hard working football player. You know, playing

84
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: against him, you know every year, you know, definitely, you know, definitely,

85
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, had me or my p's and q is

86
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: going against him, just knowing that he's a smart player.

87
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: And then he studied I knew that he's he was

88
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna study me, I was gonna study him. So it

89
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: was definitely a great job going against him, and I'm

90
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: happy to get the practice against him every day. Thank you.

91
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Next question, Nicko Man He followed by Bob Selsey. How

92
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: about something that definitely we've seen from the outside, is

93
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: like there's been a lot of players sort of bouncing

94
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: back between Miami and New England, Like Kyle and Ted

95
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: have gone to Miami and back in the last couple

96
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: of years, and Adam has gone to Miami. You took

97
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: it Adams spot or not the same spot, the defensive

98
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: tackles st switching spots for ray que mcwill, it's coming

99
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: with you. The sort of type Miami new wing of

100
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: pipeline is that's something that players talk about and unaware of. No,

101
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: we don't talk about that. It's just happened. I mean,

102
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: it's a business, and uh, just so it happened Coach Flow,

103
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: coach coach under you know, Coach Belichick. So I mean

104
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, just happened to be that. And

105
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they still have some type of connections,

106
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: but you know that's none of my business. But uh,

107
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean it just said. I mean, it's the word

108
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: of business. I mean, it's it's old. Guys told me

109
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: it's more than likely you're gonna end up in the Vision,

110
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you're playing good, because they

111
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: don't want to see you the most. They have the

112
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: most game tape on you. So I mean, uh, you know,

113
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: guys are telling me that, you know, I mean, you

114
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: might you know, if you don't be here, you might

115
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: end up in the Vision somewhere. You know. I'm like,

116
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no way, no way, you know, just

117
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: going smoke. But I mean it's true because they have

118
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: the most game tape on you, They watch you the most,

119
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: They against you twice a year, so they know your strengths,

120
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: they know your weaknesses. They game playing on you every

121
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: time y'all play each other. So I mean, uh, but

122
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: that's not something that we that guys talk about. It

123
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: just so happened to happen. I mean, you know, like

124
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: I said coach Brian Brian Flora as he coaching the

125
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick for you know, numerous years. So I mean

126
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I feel like you know that pipeline is still showing

127
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: between those two. But it's something that like you're you're

128
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: aware of. It's like a lot of guys over the

129
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: past few years were just caught of gone back and

130
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: of course you said, I mean, yeah, I see, like

131
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: you said, Recwen mcmiller, Devon me going to New England.

132
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean you said, I mean, you said, Adam going

133
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: to Miami, Kyle going back and forth. You know what

134
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean. You said it. But I mean we don't

135
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: be like, oh, man, like that's gonna happen every year.

136
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: If you don't be here, you're gonna be here. But

137
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: just so called it happened. You know, it's a business. Great, Thanks,

138
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: thank you. Next question Bob Socy, followed by Andrew Counting. Thanks,

139
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: Stacy Devon, Welcome to the Patriots. I'm glad to be here.

140
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned Brian Flores. You also played for Pat Graham

141
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago and he's the coach here.

142
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Of course, how much did he help you improve or

143
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: what was that relationship like a couple of years ago.

144
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: I love PG. I'm started off by saying that Pat

145
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: is a great guy. I mean, I mean, Pat, you know,

146
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: helped me a lot, you know, helped me with just

147
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: over ball, just you know, things you know, above football,

148
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Like we just we know, when when me and Pat

149
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: talk to each other, probably we maybe ten percent of football,

150
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: ninety percent just talking about life, just talking about man responsibilities,

151
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: things like that, you know, highest kids doing, you know

152
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: how my kid doing, you know. But I mean it's

153
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: bigger than football. But Pat helped me a lot, you know,

154
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: with my techniques and things like that. And you know,

155
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: I on a pad a lot. You know, my first

156
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: year was in that system in the NFL, besides been

157
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: in college. What it was what Pat? You know when

158
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: b flow came down to my ami, So I mean

159
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: that was great. You know, I respect Pat a lot.

160
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: I also want to ask you about, you know, some

161
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: of the guys who've played that position in New England

162
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: in the past, and then none better perhaps than Vince

163
00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: Wolfwork and if anybody stood out to you watching them play,

164
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: maybe he tried to model your playing style after and

165
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: if he might have been one of those guys. I mean,

166
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: the Senators said pretty high. The Stanators said pretty high,

167
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: but pretty much just coming here, you know what I mean.

168
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Just you know, all I accolades, all the championships that

169
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: that they didn't want. I mean, that's the past. But

170
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: the standard has already said high just about coming here.

171
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm here to write my own legacy. I mean,

172
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Big Vince war Faulk, you know, you know, can't chake

173
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: for grain for what he has done for this program

174
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: and what he has done for the NFL in general.

175
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. He dominated the game at

176
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: that position, so you know, I mean, you know, hopefully

177
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: God blessed me to do the same thing, to dominate

178
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: this game and deposition. You know. I mean, he's one

179
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: of the guys that I look up to when I

180
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: talk about striking them with your hands and things like that.

181
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: He dominated that. And I mean I actually had a

182
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: sense to spend some time with him in South Florida.

183
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: I think he has a house in South Florida. You

184
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: know when I was training down, they actually had some

185
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: time to spend some time with him. Mean you know

186
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. He's like, you know, if I need

187
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: to reach out to him, I could reach out to

188
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: him because I have his number. So he's kind of

189
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: like as he's kind of like a mental to me

190
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: if I need to reach out to him with some

191
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: things on in a disposition which is no Stilene. Great,

200
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: I see, like the historic stuff. I mean, of course,

201
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: like meeting coach Belishack. I mean that's a that's an

202
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: honor for everybody, but just you know, just getting inside

203
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: the building, man, just uh seeing everything, just you know,

00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: seeing how the guys operate, you know, having a great

205
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: locker room, you know from what I hear, but I

206
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: mean just just kind of just you know, just kind

207
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: of like you know, getting your getting your feet wet,

208
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: like the first day of school. So, I mean that

209
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: was kind of honor for me, just seeing how they

210
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: how do they do things here. And I'm just excited

211
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: manager on the field to get back, you know, how

212
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: to buy set the injury in Week five against Saint

213
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: franc In Miami. So I'm just excited to get back.

214
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like when I'm healthy. I mean, I'm

215
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: one of the best nose tackles in the game. Obviously,

216
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: coach Flores came them up here and they're familiar with him.

217
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: But did you see any major differences day one, just

218
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: between what you're used to in Miami and like you said,

219
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: how they kind of do things here. I didn't kind

220
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: of really look for that. I mean, like I said,

221
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: the scheme is kind of the same, familiar. You know,

222
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: might ask them to tweets and anasis, but I mean

223
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the same. But at the end of

224
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: the day, I'm just coming in and do my job.

225
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: I mean, do my job and do whatever the teams

226
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: need me to do. So, I mean, at the end

227
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: of the day, I mean I'm gonna take that same approach,

228
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, anywhere I go. So I'm just trying to

229
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: come in here and do my job and do whatever

230
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: the team needs me to do, and just helping the

231
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: teams win. Well, appreciate it, man. Thank you. Our next

232
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: question Mark Daniels fall by Nick koit Hey devl as well.

233
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: So last week's thanks really busy. I believe you were

234
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: one of twelve free agents to sign. Just what was

235
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: sort of your thoughts is just you know, all this

236
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: news comes in with all these new guys, sign them

237
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: with the past and just what was it like, you know,

238
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: with you being one of the twelve. I'm happy to

239
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: get back to it. I mean, when you talk about

240
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: those typic position, I think a lot of people in football,

241
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean, besides probably you know what I mean New England.

242
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys had like I said, you guys

243
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: have big vents. I mean, so big VNS was kind

244
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: of like the masterpiece of that defense for a long time.

245
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't really value that

246
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: position football because of you know, you don't get the stats,

247
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: you don't get the high accolades, you don't get the

248
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: numbers that you know, the Aaron Donalds get. You know,

249
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: you don't get those numbers. But when it comes down

250
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: to it, in a three four defense and nose guarded,

251
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: to my opinions, it's the most pivotal position because it

252
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: sets up everything your line docker read's offer that guy

253
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: that you gotta have a in my opinion, and in

254
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: pre four position and no stack, you gotta have a

255
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: dog in the middle of somebody who's gonna take up

256
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: double team, somebody who's gonna win one on one blocks

257
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: and somebody who just you just can't deal with Like

258
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: he's a he's a wrecking force. He's a middle line

259
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: doctor with his hand down basically. I mean, but I mean,

260
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: you just gotta have a in this position, that nose tacker.

261
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: You just gotta have a key guy, pivotal guy, and

262
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: the guy who gets ready to dominate, you know, all

263
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: day with his hands and just let let that let

264
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: that center, let that offensive linement know that, hey, it's

265
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be a long game. Thank you.

266
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Our next question, Nick Quite, follow by Dan Roach. Thank you,

267
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Stacy haye Von Welcome to New England. UM, I wanted

268
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: to ask you about Andre Carter, a guy that you

269
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: also worked with in Miami. What did you guys talk

270
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: about when discussing maybe, you know, coming to New England

271
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: and specifically a guy like him who came here and

272
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: played a role. Is that something maybe that you discussed

273
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: in terms of coming to the pass knowing that you know,

274
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: it's it's to do your job sort of mentality and

275
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a specific role for you. Yeah, I

276
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: mean Andre told me that I would love that. I'm

277
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: kidding that I can call on you right now. And

278
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: you told me I would love this place. Andre told

279
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: me simply, I would love this place. You said it's

280
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: fit for me, and I would love it and I

281
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: would thrive in the scheme. But like you said, do

282
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: your job. But I mean just you know, like I mean,

283
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: just you know, uh, be you. I just feel like

284
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: doing your job is all a part of to me

285
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: and my opinion being being yourself. Be you, be yourself.

286
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: You know. I meant the players that make make the play,

287
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you know, make plays, but

288
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: be yourself and and do your job in that scheme.

289
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Don't try to make plays outside of you know, what

290
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: you're signed to do. And I feel like once you

291
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: do that, I just feel like, I mean, it makes

292
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: it a lot easier. I mean, I looked at you know,

293
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: football is a man on the man each and every play.

294
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: When you want on one, if you're getting doubled, that

295
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: means somebody somebody else free. So I mean people, people

296
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: make the game horror. But I mean in this scheme

297
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: and this system, I mean, when you want the ones,

298
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: you got the one on one, we expect you to

299
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: win it. That's point blank, period. That's on a passors

300
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: that's on the run block. I mean, that's that's how

301
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: I gotta be there. And then we got to hold

302
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: guys to that accountability. I mean, and that's why I think,

303
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, I made the right decision by coming in.

304
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: And did Andre tell you anything about coach Belichick anything

305
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160

Speaker 1: you haven't smile hasn't left your face and you started talking.

318
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: And second of all, where does that passion come? Because

Speaker 1: you can tell you're you're into your craft and everything

320
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: you do on the football field. Where's that passion come

321
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: for you? For the game passion come from week five

322
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: being hurt, you know, not playing the rest of the season.

323
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm so hungry to get back out there.

324
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm so ready to dominate, you know. I'm so ready

325
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: just to get back out there with the guys and

326
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: team bonding and stuff like that. Because you gotta remember,

327
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: I missed out on that. I was hurt week five

328
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: and I wasn't, you know, able to you know, finish

329
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: the season. So I mean, this my first time ever

Speaker 1: being hurt on a football field and not playing the

331
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,080

339
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: it's gonna be exciting. It's gonna be excited. I think

340
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,120

343
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,480

00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I keep. I keep that same mindset because I knew

345
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I was I was dropped the fifth round,

346
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy eight pick. So I keep that

Speaker 1: I keep that every day every day I go to work,

349
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: So I keep that same mindset and never get complacent,

350
