1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna open up. We've got three questions right now. 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: We'll encourage anyone else to release your hand using that toggle. 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Evan Lazarre, followed by Andrew Kelly. 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, you came in mid season, so it's 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: kind of similar to the time crunch that a lot 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: of new players are experiencing right now. Just wondering, you know, 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: the process that you went through to get up to speed, 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: to learn the playbook, do all that kind of stuff, 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, when you were kind of in a crash 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: course situation. Yeah, for myself compared to some of the 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: other guys, it was a little different. I've kind of 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: been in a similar system when I was with Houston Texans. 13 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: But as Vets, we're just trying to help them as 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: much as we can. I know, it's it's crunch time 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: for him and they have a lot going on and 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 1: there's a lot of bullets flying, especially now that we're 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: on the field. So they've done a pretty good job 18 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: with it. We just have to take a day to day. 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: But they're doing well. You have to be in your 20 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: playbook every night, and then, like I said, us as vets, 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: we're trying to help them along along the way. What 22 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: did you say that you kind of focus on one 23 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: role to start and then expand it or did you 24 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: kind of just try to learn everything that you possibly 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: can as quickly as you can. Well, I think day 26 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: to day you take a few things that you want 27 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: to improve on you and you make those emphasis for 28 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: the day and make sure that you're correcting those mistakes 29 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: that you may have made the day before. But you know, 30 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: it's the NFL. We got a lot going at one 31 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: time and you have to be able to execute it. 32 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: Thanks John, Next question Andrew Callahan, followed by Doug Kite. Hey, John, 33 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time today. How are you doing, dude, 34 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm doing well. So we were just talking to Jason. 35 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: He mentioned this is the most exciting part of camp. 36 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: You haven't got the dog days yet, and basically the 37 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: takeaway was, you know, everyone has a long way to go, 38 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: which is kind of standard for the first live team practice. 39 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: What else did you take away from practice today? What 40 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: stood out to you? Well, I think as are just 41 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 1: working hard. We've come a long way in the past, 42 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, weaker whatever, It's been two weeks, week and 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: a half and we just have to keep stacking those days, 44 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: putting in good days of work. It was nice to 45 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: go against the offense for once today, so get a 46 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: little friendly competition there and the everything starts moving a 47 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: little faster. So you know, it's a step by step thing. 48 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: And you know, Jason said, we have a long way 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: to go, and we do. But if we keep stacking days, 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we'll be there. Do you feel like 51 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: your legs were back to those team periods or feel well? 52 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: I think there's always a bit of an acclamation period, 53 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: and we do a good job of staying in condition 54 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: here the past couple of days, really getting into shape, 55 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: getting getting those reps back in. So for myself, I 56 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: felt pretty good out there. And like I said, it's 57 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: just a day to day thing. You got to keep 58 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: building and building until you know the season officially starts. 59 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Next question Doug Kaite, followed by Alan Siegel. John, 60 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: you're one of the more experienced guys now on the 61 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: whole front seven groups. So is this off season or 62 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: this training camp period a little bit different for you 63 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: this year without Dante around and without Kyle and some 64 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: of those other guys who left. Yeah, I mean those 65 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: guys were a big part of the defense, and you know, 66 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: we're a different team this year, so we play with 67 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: what we have. We got a lot of young guys 68 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: who are smart, willing to go out there and play hard, 69 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: and it's our job as vets to make sure that 70 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: they're ready to go. And it's their job also to 71 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: study being the playbook and do everything they can to 72 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: make sure that when their numbers called, they're able to 73 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: do it. So it's a give and take. We're working 74 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: well together, We're starting to communicate well with one another, 75 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: and we just got to keep building that relationship. Next question, 76 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: Allen Seagal for thanks Stacy. John, how you doing. I'm 77 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: doing well. John. You were obviously went to Ohio State 78 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: Big Ten Conference in your senior year, Big Ten Defensive 79 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Player of the Year, All Big Ten First Team in 80 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: that year, and that obviously propelled you to be able 81 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: to be drafted in the fourth round with a Big 82 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: ten canceling football. What kind of field do you have 83 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: for the college kids today that won't get to experience 84 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: that and help them with possible NFL careers. You know, 85 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: that's that's tough thing. I don't I don't know a 86 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: lot about it because I've been here, you know, a 87 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: day and night, getting ready for my job and getting 88 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: ready to get this team going, and uh, you know, 89 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: so it's hard for me to comment on that. I 90 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: know that's a tough situation for everyone, but I don't 91 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: have enough information to really give you an educated answer 92 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: on that. Okay, thanks John, Yeah, it looks like the 93 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: last question it will be Mike Greece. Hey, John, I'm 94 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: curious with the new position coach Steve Belichick would have 95 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: been some of your impressions if him as a coach 96 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: as he's sort of taken over that position you play. Yeah, 97 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: Steve's a very intelligent guy. He does He knew the 98 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: whole defense last year even though he was doing the 99 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: back end there. It's awesome having him up front, being 100 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: able to work with a different coach. Comington moved to 101 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: the D line, so we definitely miss them there. But 102 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: Steve's been awesome, very intelligent man, a lot about the game, 103 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: so really giving us the ins and outs what he 104 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: knows and trying to build our game off him as well. 105 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: When you go from the full team meeting, I don't 106 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: know if you're doing that given everything going on and 107 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: you're hearing Bill and then you hear Steve. How how 108 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: similar does that feel like? You know? No, I think 109 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: I think they're different. To me, I see a few similarities. 110 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you guys see a little more than I do, 111 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: But I see him as two different people, but both 112 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: very intelligent about the game and lucky to have both 113 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: of them. And it looks like a couple of late 114 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: editions here. We're gonna go Jim McBride, all by Bob. Hi. John. 115 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: A couple of minutes ago, you mentioned the friendly competition 116 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: against the offense. Today, I'm wondering what your first impressions 117 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: were of Cam Newton. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I 118 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: like all our quarterbacks. We got a lot of talent 119 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: in that room. They're they're an impressive group and looking 120 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: forward to seeing what they can can do throughout this 121 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: training camp and into the season. And we'll go last question, 122 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: Bob Socie. I thank Stacy, thanks John for your time today. 123 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: I know you talked about coming to the Paths in 124 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and now entering your second full season with 125 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: the team. I'm just curious to what it feels like, 126 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: not that you ever get complacent or settled in this 127 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: situation in the NFL. But if there's a difference for 128 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: you now in terms of what you expect every day, 129 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: even in these unusual times walking into that facility you mentioned, Steve, 130 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: and build the familiarity with the Patriots organization now in 131 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: your second full season. Yeah, well, I think the worst 132 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: thing you can do every day is as a vent, 133 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: is coming to the building complacent, complacent, And it's really 134 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: the nfls of what have you done for me lately? Business? 135 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: So if you don't keep producing, they'll find someone who will. 136 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: So you got to come in with the mindset every 137 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: day that you're going to work, put in the work, 138 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: help whoever you can that will help the team, and 139 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: you know, you go from there. So, like I said, 140 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: we've stacked together a few good days here and we 141 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: have to continue to do so for a couple of weeks. Now. 142 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you, And for the fourth time, 143 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: I have a final question. Sorry about that, Doug Kide, 144 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: You've got the final question, Hey John or Hi again, 145 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: I should say, obviously nothing has been decided at this point, 146 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: but how do you feel about the possibility of taking 147 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: on more playing time this season with some of those 148 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: guys that we were mentioning earlier who have either you know, 149 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: opted out or gone to other teams. Well, it's not 150 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: just me, it's it's everyone on the team. We got 151 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: a lot of guys who will do whatever the job 152 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: calls for. So whatever we're asked to do weekend and 153 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: week out, we're going to prepare it to our fullest 154 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: and try to do our best on Sundays or you know, 155 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Thursdays Mondays to execute it to the best of our ability. So, 156 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, we got a lot of guys who who 157 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: are very versatile and can do multiple things. So whatever 158 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: happens happens. John, thank you very much for your time. 159 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys.
