1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: We're recording and we're gonna start with Doug Kite followed 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: by Jim McBride. Go ahead, Doug, Hey, Joe, And Uh, 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: there was just the free agency process like for you. 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: And what was it about the Patriots that appealed to 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: you in the process? Yeah, UM, when talking about the 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: free agency process, UM, definitely different from last year. UM. 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: I had a a lot a lot more teams, UM 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: that were interested in me and UM to come and 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: play for the team, of course. And then now we're 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: talking about what was different between those teams and the Patriots. One, UM, 11 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: I mean you have to start with this organization. UM, 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: you know what they what they stand stand by, and 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: then what they represented. Then two, of course UM being 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: coached by coach Belichick. UM, I mean that that goes 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: you know, I don't even really have to speak too 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: much about that. UM. And and and three how they 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: run their defense. You know, they got guys who are 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: very versatil You see them playing guys in multiple positions, 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: and I think that's what you know, this this league 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: is going to. Now you got guys who can play 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: multiple positions, and you know, it's all about confusing these 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and being able to make plays. Um So, I 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: think those are the top three things for me, one 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I chose New England. Our next 25 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: question Jim mcbridefall about Andrew calling him then when kind 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: of kind of building off that you've you've kind of 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: transitioned to safety, uh lately in your career. Was that 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: persontility something that the Patriots talked to you about when 29 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: they were, you know, asking you about signing. Yeah, that 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: was actually, um, when we got into the building and 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: I met um coach Belichick for the first time, Um, 32 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: that was actually one of the things that he said 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: that he loved my versatility. Um, he loved the fact 34 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: that I can play multiple positions. Um. So that I 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: think that was definitely a big, a big thing for 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: them also wanting me as well in the free agency 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: process too. And also Patrick Chung, who played here and 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: played multiple positions for a while recently retired. Was he 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: a guy that you studied or admired from from Afar? Yeah, Man, 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: Pete Chang, He's a guy who's been doing it for 41 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: a long time, and we're talking about playing multiple positions. 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: That guy is one of the definitions of it, you know, 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys seeing me Um, whether he was 44 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: lining up facts, when he was lining up on tight ends, like, 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: it didn't matter that I'm all over the place. So 46 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: that guy was very versatile and I have a lot 47 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: of respect for him in his game and what he's 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: done at this organization.

Yeah, I haven't 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: really gotten to that much dept as far as as 59 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: far as that conversation, as far as what they want 60 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: to play me. Um. I think the biggest thing now 61 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: and the biggest focus is just trying to learn the defense. UM. 62 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: And that's that's kind of why I'm at and um 63 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: Them'm saying, you know, if I have any questions, UM, 64 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, just shoot them over.

What was it like going 77 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: up against the Patriots in that game? And what's it 78 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: like being on the other side? Now, yeah, I would 79 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: say then more with me and my mind set, it 80 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: wasn't even the fact that we were going against the Patriots. 81 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: I think the fact with me was and one of 82 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: the things that I kept telling myself throughout that game 83 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: was I wasn't gonna let this moment pass up on me. 84 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: All throughout little league, from junior high to high school 85 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: to even college like, I've never played in a championship game. 86 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: You know, they had ball games here and there when 87 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: I was at LSU, different things like that, but never 88 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: went to a state title, never had any big championships. 89 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing with me wasn't even the 90 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: the opponent that we was playing. It was more of 91 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: me to saying I'm not gonna let this moment pass 92 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: up on me, and I was just gonna give it 93 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: everything that I had.

Whether it's playing in the box, whether 173 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: there's you know, coming off the edge, whether it's playing 174 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: back and coverage or whatever it may be.

I 355 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Jyllan. Next by Mike Grease, Hey, Jaylen, welcome 356 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: to New England. Thank you no problem. I just wanted 357 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 1: to ask you about your versatility and just as a player, 358 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: is it easier to kind of settle into one position 359 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: or are you kind of embracing the fact that you 360 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: might be a corner one day and safety the next day. 361 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: That's definitely something that I'm embracing. Um, I was taught 362 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: from my high school coach to my college coach. Ut 363 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: Now I'm like, the more you can do, you know, 364 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: and these defense it fits that you know, it's it's 365 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: all about deception at this point, Um, these quarterbacks are 366 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: are getting so much better, These receivers are getting so 367 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: much better, These office are getting so much better. So 368 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: if you can have a guideline and multiple positions and 369 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: you make that offensive coordinator or that quarterback you know, 370 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: or that receiver think a half a second, that's a 371 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: sack waiting to happen. That's an interception, a tip ball, 372 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: a turnover waiting to happen. Like, that's what it's all about. 373 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: So there's definitely something that a roller that I'm accepting 374 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: that I did. I want Um just being able to 375 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: be as versatile as possible on his defense. Thanks John, 376 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: thank you, and we'll do two final questions. Mike Rerease 377 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: and Alex Birth Go ahead.

You know what what what theyre 387 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: the coaching staff is saying. Um. It was like it 388 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: happened so fast, Like I literally woke up, I went 389 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: to go eat breakfast, UM, and I'm just sitting there 390 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: chilling and it's just like I'm waiting on my agent 391 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: to call me. And it's like as soon as you 392 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: caused me, Like I said, it was just so much 393 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: happening so fast. And he was just like like Jay, whatever, 394 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: it's it's on you, whatever decision you make, whatever team 395 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: you want to go to, Like like it's on you. 396 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, Um, these are the best ovitions I think 397 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: there are for you. But at the end of the 398 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: day like this is your future. Um, and I stepped 399 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: forward and told him that, you know, I want to 400 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: go play for the Patriots. So yeah, that's basically and 401 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: last question Alex Perth, Hey, Jaylen, welcome, Thank you so much. 402 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering you. You said that you were and 403 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: coach Belichick before you really started taking football seriously, and 404 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: you talked a little about Patrick Chung. I'm just curious 405 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: what you remember, like as as as far back as 406 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: you remember from Belichick and something, if you remember anything 407 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: about the like early on Belichick Patriots defenses. Um, I 408 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: I would say, for sure, um the biggest. I just 409 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: know that they've always been dominant before I could really 410 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: know about scheme, before I could really know okay, these 411 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: guys actually un up here because guy was actually a corner, 412 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: this guy's actually safety. You just know that they was. 413 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: They were always always dominant. I always had linebackers who 414 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: can scrape and head and corn. You always had guys 415 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: and in the second dary who can you know, pick 416 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: the ball off? And it was just it was just 417 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: always amazing to me, me actually watching it as a fans. Now, 418 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: like you said, watching Pete Chung and me actually knowing 419 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: scheme and knowing that these guys they used this guy 420 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: in multiple ways. Um, it was two totally different views. 421 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: Who's now it's more of an understanding of exactly what 422 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: they were doing and how they were doing. And they 423 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: still more understanding because I'm still you know, I'm freshing 424 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: this man, still trying to learn to play book it 425 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: and know how they're using guys in different type of ways. 426 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: But definitely viewing the game different when I was younger 427 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: to now and when we're just talking about him. Like 428 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: I said, it's all about, you know, putting guys and 429 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: knowing what they do best and putting those guys in 430 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: the right position to be able to make plays for 431 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: the team. Because that's what it's all about. It's not 432 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: a selfish mind on this team like this is the 433 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: one guy, like he does this and nobody else can 434 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: do it. It's like, no, okay, he does this? Bestis 435 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 1: guy does this best? Okay, Well, let's find a way 436 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: to put our best players on the field to getting 437 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: these positions to bear to make these plays. And that's 438 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: what I love about it. Cool. Thank you, thank you 439 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: so much, chilling, I'm be half everywhere. Thank you very 440 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: much for taking the time that probably went about ten 441 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: minutes longer than I was articipating or projecting for you, 442 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: but we really appreciate it and and for the media. 443 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: Still on three o'clock is a next one with Hunter Henry. 444 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: Thank you, Jane, thank you, Thanks, Jalen, thank you, Thanks Jalen, 445 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: thank you.
