00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: of items, each one cooler than the next, one of

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: the best efforts, you know, especially by a rookie, you know,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,400

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: was it sort of a surprise? It was. Yeah. We

13

Speaker 1: walked in after a practice here just moments ago, and

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: big crowd around the old line area, everyone kind of jealous,

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: and you know, really some really cool stuff. And he's,

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, obviously been a huge part of our season

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm just wanted to ask you about Jared Stidham. I know,

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: like he hasn't played this year, but you've been teammates

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: with him multiple years. Now what type of guy is he?

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: And sort of what does he bring to the team

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: that we don't see, you know, because on a daily basis,

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: Sid's been a good friend of mine for when you

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: get here eighteen so three years. So yeah, no, just

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: works hard and has been in uh, you know, obviously

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: a unique situation similar to situations I've been in here,

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: and you know, works as hardest and contributes a lot,

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:44,240

33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: this morning about about an offensive lineman on how you

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: don't really hear much about him when they're doing their job,

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to ask you about the middle

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: of the line working with David and Shack and the

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: rhythm that you guys have fallen into the last you know,

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: six or seven weeks, and what it's like to play

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: with with those two and kind of have a sixth

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: sense with them if you will. You know, it's been

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Um. You know, I never really

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: have gotten a chance to play with Dave and an

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: extended amount of time. Obviously in nineteen uh you know,

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: every everyone knows what happened that year. But you know,

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: to be able to go out there and play with

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: a guy who I've considered my brother for a long time, um,

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: and get an extended run and playing some big games

48
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: and big games coming forward has been uh, you know

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And um, you know, those guys

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: are guys I've tried to emulate. Chack and Dave are

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: guys that I've copied and tried to emulate early in

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: my career and still do. And guys that have played,

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, their best and huge games obviously some of

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: the biggest games in Patriots history. So just try to

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: do what they do, and you know, bring bring what

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I can bring, and you know we uh you know,

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: obviously have a good amount of continuity. It's been a

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: big key for the Old Line run here for a

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: long time. So great. It's very glad to be a

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: part of it. We hear about running backs getting into

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: a rhythm all the time. Can a line get into

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: a rhythm as well? I think so? I mean Old

63
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Line is a repetition position and uh, you know, to

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: have the same guys out there, you know, performing the

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: same movements and seeing the game the same set of

66
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: eyes over and over again. Um, can definitely provide an advantage.

67
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Ted. Yeah, the last question, and hey Ted, Merry Christmas, man,

68
