1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Hate you wanna how how would you just sum up 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: this season? 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: MM? 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 2: You probably gotta give me a more specific question. This 6 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: season has been a it's been a long year, uh 7 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 2: uh for uh multiple reasons. But one thing I can 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 2: say is that the guys we got on this team 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: was resilient. Resilient, came to work every single day and 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: have a passion for the game. And that's all you 11 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: can ask for, especially in tough seasons like this. You 12 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: gotta have guys that has a passion for the game 13 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: and when lose a draw, just ready to work and 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: go after every every single day. So I kind of 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 2: credit to those guys for uh sticking it through for sure, like. 16 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 3: You already in the front drawing your your entire career. 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 3: Bill's been the head coach. I mean, I'm sure there's 18 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: been a lot of lessons that you picked up from 19 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 3: him over the years. Are there certain things that stand 20 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 3: out that he's taught you about yourself in the game? 21 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: Uh? 22 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: With just him being just a dynamic coach, he's been 23 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: able to, I guess, create the leadership aspects that comes 24 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: along with the game. Certain things you can't necessarily coach, 25 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: but you could kind of tell players how to think 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: about certain situations. And he's been he's been huge in 27 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: that aspect. But not just me, just the players that 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: came before me as well, whether it be Dante or Devin, 29 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: all those kind of guys, and they always pass it, 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: pass it down to the next guy. And so I've 31 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: been I could credit those guys which just give me 32 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: some knowledge just to hang on to it and just 33 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 2: pass it on down. 34 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: Hey, Juan, you just passed Matthew on the way out. 35 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: When you came to the Patriots. You came from Purdue 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: where you had established leadership intangibles. Three time captain Willer Perdue. 37 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: You've been a captain multiple seasons for the Patriots. But 38 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: what have you learned about leadership from Matthews letter in particular? 39 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: Uh? I mean where do I start? 40 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Uh? 41 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: I mean just on and off the field leadership. He's 42 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: shown that leadership is just not on the field. Leadership 43 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: just doesn't have to do with your sport. It doesn't 44 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: just have to do what you do on a day 45 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: to day, but everything kind of falls goes hand in 46 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: hand in a way. Whether when you leave this building 47 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: you still looked at in that light, You're still seeing 48 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: as a leader, whether it be him involved in social 49 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: justice and all the other things. I mean, when slave 50 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: walks into the room, the whole energy changes, and you 51 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: can't you can't necessarily pinpoint what that is. It's just 52 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: it just is. So you could just you could credit 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: to him and all the work he's done to get there. 54 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: You could credit that to his pops for just being 55 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: I guess the model for him. But he's coming in 56 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 2: this he's coming this building every single day, eager to work, 57 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 2: willing to drag whoever he needs to drag along, and 58 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: the tough moments, he always just happened to find the 59 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: right things to say. That's just leadership qualities that you 60 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: can't teach. You can't there's no there's no class for it. 61 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: There's nothing, there's no book you can read, there's no 62 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: pill you can take. That's just something that just is. 63 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: And that's just a gift that he's had. And we're 64 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: we're grateful for everything he's done in this building. 65 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: And you one, uh, you get four captains you want. 66 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: To readand appreciate, you guys. 67 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: Yeah,
