1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Good morning, Tom Brady, H great, good morning. Are you doing. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: How do we feel about ten and one this morning? 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: I feel good, man. It's been a you know, every 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: game has taken on something a little bit different, and 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think guys really just embrace the challenge. 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: We're playing against a really good football team, had a 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: great offense, and you know it's tough conditions. But you 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: know Dtens played great and um offensive league did you know, 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: some good things well and some things to clean up, 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: but it feels good to be ten and one. Um. 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: Speaking of that weather, how difficult was it to put 12 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: touch on passes yesterday? Yeah, it's just you know, it's 13 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: it's a challenge. It's it's obviously, um, you know, different 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: than playing in a you know, I think there's a 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: lot of different elements at play, so um makes some 16 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: things more challenging and you know, it makes some challenging 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. So um, you know, 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: it's we practice in it and try to prepare for 19 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: it and when it comes up, we just try to 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: handle it better than the other team. And uh, you 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: know I thought Dallas, you know, they played hard. They 22 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: got a really good team and a really good defense, 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: and they played well too, So it's just a hard 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: fought win. Have you ever wondered what your numbers would 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: look like had you played in a dome and not 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: you're in New England? Uh, you know, it's part of 27 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: it is just starting, you know, getting acclimated with it. Um, 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: you know, I think there's an element that is uh, 29 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, positive, and then I think at the same time, 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: we've always kind of used it as a home field 31 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: advantage to a degree, so you know, the name of 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: the game's winning and um, you know, I think we've 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: done a pretty good job of that. So I wouldn't 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. How 35 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: was it having Isaiah Win back as your left tackle yesterday? 36 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: It was great. You know, it's just great to see 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: him out there, and you know he's been working really 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: hard and any time to get put on that injured list, 39 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: um know, it takes away big portion of year season. 40 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: So you know he's shown some mental toughness and you know, 41 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: missing all last season, so um, you know, it just 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: gotta try to keep you know, all of us, you know, 43 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: getting on the same page and improving, and we have 44 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: a lot of football left to play, but um, it's 45 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: always good to have you know those you know Isaia 46 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: out there, Um, you know Nikkiel out there. Nikuel made 47 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: a great touchdown catch and uh, you know, it's just 48 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to just keep putting the work in 49 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: and keep trying to improve. Tom, speaking of the injury list, 50 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: you gave everyone a scare Friday when you popped up 51 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: on the injury report designated questionable going into the game. 52 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: How's the elbow feeling right now? Uh, it's doing, it's 53 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: doing well. Thanks for asking. I appreciate it. You're not 54 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: going to give it more thorough long winded, clearly, where 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: did death explanation as to how it's doing? It's doing? 56 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: How did it look yesterday? Look pretty sure? That's on 57 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: the ball out there, the duke. The duke was flying yesterday. 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: My man. Good And that's that's that's kind of Um. 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: I think it speaks for itself. Speaking of Nikkiel, Troy 60 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: Aikman said on the broadcast that you were impressed with 61 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: his play and practice last week. What did you just 62 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: to see from him that stood out? You know, he 63 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: just had a great mentality I think about it, and great, Um, 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, he just really approached the week and he 65 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: was put in that position and we were banged up 66 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: with Philip and Muhammad, and it just looked like, um, 67 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, those guys were gonna have to play a lot, 68 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: and I think he just, you know, rather than feeling like, 69 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: oh man, I haven't played much and I'll be a 70 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: little worried getting out there. I mean, he really approached 71 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: it like he had been there all season and um 72 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: made a lot of good plays in practice and improved 73 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: on things that you know he had done and then 74 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: they were corrected. So you know, I really loved Nakiel's attitude, 75 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: and Jacobe did a great job too. I think both 76 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: those rookie receivers have really answered the you know, answered 77 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: the call. I think when you're putt in that position, 78 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: it's you don't have a lot of football under your belt, 79 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: and you're playing on a team that's you know, competing 80 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: for you know, titles and so forth. There's a lot 81 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: of pressure, and both those guys have embraced it. I 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: think Julian's really shown great leadership, you know, for that 83 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: whole group, and you know, hopefully if we can get 84 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: everyone healthy, we can we can see what we can 85 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: do Yeah, it was almost like Edelman just found a way. 86 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: There were a couple of almost desperate situations where you 87 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: needed him to get open yesterday and he just he 88 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: did it. Jules has done a great job all year. 89 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just been so um, you know, fun 90 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: for me to see and watch him grow as a 91 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: person as a player and how he's matured and you 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: know what he his abilities are as a player and 93 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: you know, fighting through injuries that he's had and never 94 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: I think mental and physical toughness or great traits to 95 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: have in an athlete, and you can't really measure those 96 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: on the combhind and and all that stuff, but Julian's 97 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: got that, you know, as much as as much as anybody. 98 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: So he just does a great job and finds a 99 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: way to keep getting open and went in on routes 100 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: and has high expectations, provides great leadership. So it's really 101 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: been a it's just great to watch him play every 102 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: weekend and be a teammate. Tom. Obviously, you were down 103 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: the two key targets yesterday with Sanu out and Philip 104 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: didn't pass the protocol and you had to throw more 105 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: to Harry and Myers. Myers said about being out there 106 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: and trying to earn your trust. Quote, it's probably been 107 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: one of the toughest things about being here. But I'm 108 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: gonna keep working at it, not give up, and hopefully 109 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 1: I keep chipping away each day. Have you noticed him 110 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: putting in extra work, as there been any extra something 111 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: he's done when he's needed to step up. Recently, he's 112 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: done a great job. I mean he's uh, you know, 113 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: come in as an undrafted free agent and you know, 114 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: make the plays that he made all spring, and then 115 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, make the plays that he's made this season, 116 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: and I think it's been so impressive. And you know, 117 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about Jakobe. And you know, 118 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: he's just he cares deeply about doing the right thing, 119 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: and you know, you'd love to have team teammates like that. 120 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: So I'm just I'm so happy for him and hit 121 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: the opportunities he's getting, and he wants to do a 122 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: great job. He wants to, you know, do everything right, 123 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he holds himself to a high standard. 124 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: So it's just really it's great to have him out 125 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: there and great too, great to see him doing good 126 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: things for us. Chris Collinsworth, Tom said that what he 127 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: was talking with Dan Patrick that you had described yourself 128 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: as the most miserable eight and no quarterback in the 129 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: NFL during a pregame sit down with them. Um, why 130 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: was that? And are you happier this morning? How do 131 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: I sound? You sound okay? More importantly, you sound like, 132 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, you sound like you're reasonably happy this morning. 133 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: You sound pretty good. I'm happy. We're tending one. I 134 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: think that's you know, we're like I said, we're we're 135 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to win, and I know things 136 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: aren't perfect, and you know, we're just trying to trying 137 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: to just make improvements and see if we can do 138 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: a little bit better job every week. And you know, 139 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: when you watch the NFL and you know we've had 140 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: some late games, Um, we don't have little late game 141 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: coming up, but you watch other teams and you know 142 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: the reality is nobody's you know, a finished product at 143 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: this point, and every team is, you know, beginning to 144 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: fight for a position, and you know, some teams are 145 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: clearly out of it, and there's a lot of the 146 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: teams that are battling, and you know, nobody knows how 147 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: it's going to shake out. And I know there's power 148 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: rankings and all that bs, but you know, we got 149 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: to just try to keep making improvements and then put 150 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: ourselves in a good position. And I think we're in 151 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: a decent position now at ten and one, and we 152 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: got a very important game coming up, and hopefully we 153 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: can go out and you know, get to eleven and one, 154 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: but it's going to be a big challenge. We got 155 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: to play, you know, a great complimentary game, and you 156 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: know our defense has been doing a great job, you know, offensively. 157 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: Hopefully we can make some improvements this week and you know, 158 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: go put together our best game of the year. I 159 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: mean it's no surprise to you. We analyze your every word, 160 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: we analyze your demeanor, and I think that you know, 161 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: the way I look at it is you're a perfectionist. 162 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: So even at ten and one, you may look at 163 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: this offense and say it's not what I want it 164 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: to be. Is that is that kind of why when 165 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: we look at you, we say, all right, Tom, is 166 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: he's he's still frustrated yet this team is ten and one. Um, 167 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: I think that it's just uh, I mean, our I 168 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: have a job to do, and you know, you know, 169 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: I think my job I I you know, it's very 170 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: important to me, and you know, I want us to 171 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: do as best as we possibly can each week, like 172 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: I always have. And uh, you know, every everybody puts 173 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: a lot into it, and you want to see, you know, 174 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: a great performance. And when it's less than that, you know, 175 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what I should feel other than what's 176 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: authentic to me and what's authentic to my own personal 177 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: feelings and beliefs about you know, how we should be 178 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: performing and you know what we need to do in 179 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: order do better. So, um, you know, I have twenty 180 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: years of experience, so I feel like I have some knowledge. Um, 181 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, I don't have all the answers, but you know, 182 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: I've been around long enough to know what you know 183 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: it looks like. And and uh, you know, I think 184 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: our guys are trying and we're trying to. We have 185 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: good attitude and work hard, and we have a very 186 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: good team. And uh, you know, I think our team 187 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: will improve as we on offense, you know, improve, and 188 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: I think we can do that by you know, again, 189 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: it comes down to trust and dependability and consistency him 190 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to do, and those those things 191 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: don't magically come together. Um, you know, you got to 192 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: work at him and and we're working at him, and 193 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: hopefully we can we can you know, reach a higher level. 194 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: What happened with the uh with the scoreboard operator, uh, 195 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon. I mean, I you know, there was a 196 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: second left there that didn't go the way. I don't 197 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: that went the way that was planned. No, that was 198 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: a pretty and that was I don't know. It's pretty 199 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: confusing to me because I think the ball is still 200 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: in there when they stopped the clock, So I don't 201 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: know if he lost track of the ball, which could 202 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: have happened because it was raining and you know, it 203 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: was pretty dark out with the clouds and um so 204 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what they say on TV editing, could 205 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: they did you see anything? Well? It was it was weird. 206 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't really hear. I was down the stadium. But uh, 207 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people took that as a 208 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: Oh so the Patriots don't always get the calls, you know, 209 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: Like also the same mysterious scoreboard operator during the famous 210 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: Condiff miskicked back in twenty AFC Championship game. You know that, Uh, 211 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: it's not it doesn't always go the Patriots. Why hello, 212 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: hey you guys cut you cut out? Oh yeah, cut out. Yeah. 213 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: So it was basically, uh, Nick is saying that, you know, 214 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: basically people can't whine about the fact that you guys 215 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: always get the calls when when it comes to that case. 216 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was that was I joked about that 217 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: after the game. I thought it was, Yeah, it's just 218 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that play usually takes six or seven seconds, 219 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: and you know, it took four, and I was like, 220 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: what game should be older? But you know it wasn't. 221 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: So um yeah, that was part of it, and that 222 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: the defense made to stop on the next play. Speaking 223 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: of calls, with those tripping calls, is that likely something 224 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: that Bill sees on film and then talks to the 225 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: refs about before the game. I didn't see them. I 226 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: didn't see those. Obviously, I'm not paying attention to that. 227 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: But was that the what are you talking about? The 228 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: Dallas is aligned? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't. I didn't 229 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: see any of those, so I'm not sure they. You know, 230 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: a lot of teams, you know, you do businesses, businesses 231 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: being done. That's that's what football is all about. So 232 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you get to call, sometimes you don't and again 233 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: I think the rest try to do a great job 234 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: and they got a lot to referee, and so I'm 235 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: not sure. I don't know what coach talks to me about. Tom. 236 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: You're a stylish man. I wanted to know whether or 237 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: not you saw the Gronk turtleneck and what you thought 238 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: thought of that outfit. I missed it. I should look 239 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: it up. You definitely should, Tom, because there's a lot 240 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: of different things we could call him, uh, you know, 241 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: someone involved in a steroid scandal, in figure skating, a 242 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: Russian hitman. Those are some good ones I've seen. It's 243 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: a look, oh man, it's a look. He could pull 244 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: it off. He's, you know, Gronk. I played pretty much 245 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: in and Gronk a handsome guy. He's got, you know, 246 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: he got a great, you know, physique, so he could 247 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: he could pretty much wear anything he wants to get 248 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: away with it. I want to um, you kind of 249 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: covered this a little bit, but I just want to 250 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 1: play because it's been a big topic this morning. I 251 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: want to play this audio from Gronk for you and 252 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: just get your take on it. He's talking about being 253 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: frustrated when you're nine in one or what have you 254 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: So can I play this for you and then get 255 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: your feedback on it? Sure? All right, here we go. 256 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: You know what's crazy? They're nine in one. He's so 257 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: frustrated too, and it's like, yo, like you guys are 258 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: nine and one. That's the one part I don't miss 259 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: about being their hands down, I'm not gonna lie. I 260 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: don't miss that you're frustrated. They're nine in one. They 261 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: win a game last week versus Philly. They we lost 262 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: swinging the super Bowl two years ago. They should be happy. Instead, 263 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: you're sitting there Sunday night like, well I knew wrong. Like, no, 264 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: that's not the feeling that you should have. You should 265 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: be pumped about the win, no matter. Yeah, you might 266 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: have not put the offensive numbers that you put up, 267 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: but you won the game. Enjoy it, go out the 268 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: next week and build off of it. So is he 269 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: kind of addressing that patriot mentality, Tom, which is you're 270 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: never happy even even after a win. Well, I think 271 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, everyone deals with things differently, and you know, 272 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: I think that was part of having a guy like 273 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: Grunk in the locker room that was so great, was 274 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, he approached it like he does, which is, 275 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you know he looked, always looks at the kind of 276 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: the bright spots and everything. So you know, when you 277 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: have great attitudes like that, it's it's good to have. 278 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: And you know, he was a great player for a 279 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: long time, so you know, we have different challenges we 280 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: face and I think you know, for me personally, I 281 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: don't have just one emotion after every game, you know, 282 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: I mean there's probably five or ten, so you know, 283 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: probably catches the moment you catch me is probably you 284 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: know how I'll feel the particular time. And sometimes it 285 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: takes time to digest things and deal with things and 286 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: hopefully we can you know, process those by the time 287 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: your preparation for the next week starts. Tom, we've decided 288 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: that the player of the game is Stefan Gilmour. Now 289 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: you've seen some incredible cornerback playing your day with people 290 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: wearing twenty four ty law Durrell Reevas and now Gilmore, 291 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: who boomeris size and earlier called the best defensive back 292 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: in football. How great is it knowing you've got some 293 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: on the other side who's gonna lock down the number 294 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: one receiver and sometimes, like he has many times this year, 295 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: just get you that ball back when he picks it off. 296 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: He's just you know, been an incredible performer for our 297 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: team and just such a great job. And I really 298 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: love the way that he plays and performs and practices 299 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: and his effort. You know, Steph doesn't say a lot, 300 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: but you know, he lets his play to his talking. 301 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: I think that's that's great leadership right there. And you know, 302 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: he's been playing great all year. He's you know, they 303 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: give him tough matchups and he always accepts it and 304 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: goes out there, and he's just been playing great football. 305 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: Do you improve or do you make a point of 306 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: trying to throw at him in practice so you can 307 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: sort of sharpen your iron At this point in here, 308 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, we don't work too much against the defense, 309 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: so it's probably been months since I've had to try 310 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: to complete passes on him. But you know, I try 311 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: to pick the path the least resistance, and I would 312 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: say going through Steph is not the path the least resistance, 313 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: probably a little more challenging. So um, but he's doing 314 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: a great job for us. It's a whole defense is 315 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: playing keeping us in every game, and uh, you know, 316 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: to play the number one offense and not give up 317 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown is pretty great. So I was just rolling 318 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: away by the way that those guys are playing the 319 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: quarterback question of the week for Tom Brady, Nick, I 320 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: know you wanted to be a Mandalorian question, but it's not. 321 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: It's not going to be Um. It's about Tom Brady 322 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: looking ahead to Sunday and tell us a little bit 323 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: about this team comes Sunday night. Tom, it's a pretty uh, 324 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: it's a it's a great matchup and you know, we're 325 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: gonna have our work cut out for us. They are 326 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: a team that plays all at home. They've got a 327 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: great offense. Uh, you know quarterback who's very dynamic player. 328 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: They've got great skill players. You know, they got a 329 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: running game, they got a passing game. Defensively, their coach well, 330 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: you know if they got some really good players in 331 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: the secondary. They're a little beat up up front with 332 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, obviously losing JJ Watts big, but they still 333 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: figure out schemes to rush the past her and they're 334 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: coming off a big win against the Colts on Thursday night, 335 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: so they got some extra days to prepare. So it's 336 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: a it's going to be a very tough game, big 337 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: challenge for our team, and this would be, you know, 338 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: obviously our biggest game of the year to this point, 339 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: and we'll see how we do against another great football 340 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: team on the rows is pretty big. Tom. Last week, 341 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: I'll finish with this, you almost broke Twitter when you 342 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: quoted what you called adult Yoda posting a photo of 343 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: yourself and you said do not there is no try 344 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 1: now as a card carrying a Tom Brady and Patriots 345 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: fan boy and B Star Wars geek. Yeah, that that 346 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: kind of set the world on fire. And I have 347 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: to ask, did you call him adult Yoda because you 348 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: watch The Mandalorian? I thought I would, I would uh, 349 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, get the best of both. So I love 350 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: the adult Yoda and uh, I thought it would be 351 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: just a perfect time to Uh, I'm enjoying my Twitter 352 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: in the Twitter sphere twitter verse, and uh, I'm having 353 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: fun with my social media. Well, we didn't get an 354 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: answer about whether you're watching The Mandalorian or not. I 355 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: mean elm Edelman is obsessed with it. Apparently a lot 356 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: You've got a lot more free time on his on 357 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: his Uh to me, since it's a big week food wise, Tom, 358 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: what is Tom Brady's favorite Thanksgiving side dish? Uh? Good? Question. 359 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: It's a good week man, And by the way, happy 360 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving to you guys, have a great week, and uh, 361 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: happy Thanksgiving to all the fans out there and supported us. Um. 362 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: Just we're all very greatful and appreciative and thankful for 363 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: our blessings. So um, I think when I was a kid, 364 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: my grandma Um, she would make these biscuits, these better 365 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: milk biscuits, and I think that's when I was a kid, 366 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: that's about all I ate for all our holidays because 367 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: that was our special dish. So I try to make 368 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: those in memory of her. I don't make them nearly 369 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: as good as she did, but my kids seemed to 370 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: like them because I smother them with butter and syrups. 371 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: So I think that's probably what what what my favorite 372 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: side dish should be. And do you allow yourself a 373 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: little mashed potatos and gravy or is that a Is 374 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: that a no? No? It is Thanksgiving, So I mean 375 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: those little good moments. So I think a healthy balance 376 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: and everything's important. So I absolutely love my Thanksgiving meal. 377 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: And so it's all about, you know, getting your family together, 378 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: and it's a great holiday, so it comes quick and 379 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're working on third day, we have 380 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: practice in the morning, but we'll be able to be 381 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: home and vie with our families in the afternoon and 382 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: just kind of enjoy the day.
