1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Hello, Devin, how are you. I'm good. How are you 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: guys doing? I'm doing great things. Jarvis Landry said they're 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: gonna come here and win Sunday. Doesn't that bother you? 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Uh No, not at all. I don't. I didn't expect 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: them to say they're gonna come here and lose. Now, 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: what about those guys talent wise, Landry and Odell Beckham? 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: And this year the Browns haven't necessarily been lighting up 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: the scoreboard, but for a talent standpoint has to be 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: one of the top wide receiver duos in the league. Yeah, 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: I mean I would I would go further and say 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: offensive group skill players wives probably the most talented team. 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: Well we played so far this year when you add 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: Nick Chubbing there, Zad Callaway in there as the third receiver, 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: then Seals Jones, Dmitri's Harris, like, all of those guys 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: are really skilled players. So you know, this week, I 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: think we've talked about it. It's across the board. It's 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: everybody has to do their job and play well Sunday 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: for us to have a chance, because if they get 19 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: it going, they can attack really from everywhere. And I 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: think you know, one of the things that people don't 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: really talk about, you know, Nick Shutt, whether screens, whether 22 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: it's getting the ball and you know, running straight down 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: the middle going outside. He's been able to make a 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: lot of plays, I think overall because people come in 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: and only ordered about you know, Baker mayfield a passing 26 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: game with Odell and Jenvis and if you don't, if 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: you don't get in there and stop to run, you know, 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: Nick Shubb will kill you. We obviously see the greatness 29 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: of Bill Belichick in a variety of ways for over 30 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: twenty years in every weekend, week out, but it's one 31 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: of his greatest strengths the way he motivates you guys. 32 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: Because we've seen Hall of famers like William McGinnis, Rodney 33 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: Harrison frossing at the mouth that they were disrespected, and 34 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: we saw you a little bit pregame this week sort 35 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: of frothing at the mouth about you know, the other 36 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: team looking for your weaknesses. How does he manage to 37 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: motivate you guys so well on a weekly basis, I 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: don't know. I think a lot of that is the people, 39 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: you know. I think you talk to Rodney Harrison and 40 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: William McGinnis even now they're the same way. They're competitive, 41 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: they get mad, I talk about, you know, someone being 42 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: better than them. So um, I honestly think those are 43 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: the type of players that Bill walts. He wants those 44 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: guys on his team. Those are the guys he looked 45 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: through the league, and I think you look at a group, 46 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: there's no difference. A lot of guys that have come 47 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: in here, you know, with chips on their shoulders either 48 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: they so disrespected coming out of high school, coming out 49 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: of college, uh, their time in the NFL. So um, 50 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: I think it all kind of goes together because I 51 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: think Bill's kind of wired the same way, you know, 52 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: whether it was coaching down in Cleveland then getting rid 53 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: of each others all the time. Like he's been fired 54 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: multiple times. He knows what that means. And I think 55 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: he has a chip on the shoulder, and naturally he 56 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: gets guys with that same type of chips. I had 57 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: one offer coming out of high school. Wow, and you 58 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: still use that as motivation? Yeah? I mean I think 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: that defined to you. Are you don't you don't change that, 60 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: you know, coming out of high school one offer get drafted. Here, 61 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: you guys are probably saying the same thing, why would 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: they drafted? A specialties player in the first round. Though 63 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: I don't I don't forget those things. I did thought 64 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: it was a little high exactly. Listen, I wanted de Bryant, Devin, 65 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: what do you want from me? And I know I 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: still got guys like you to say that even to 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: today we're talking to Devin mccordy of the New England 68 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: Patriots speaking of disrespect. Do you take it as a 69 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: measure of disrespect when people look at how your defense 70 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: is performed this year and say, well, hell, they haven't 71 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: played anybody. What difference it make? Um? No, I get it. 72 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean, when you do well in this league, it's 73 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: never gonna be you know they're really good. There's gonna 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: be something else. Um. And that's why I always tell 75 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: gods like you can't be motivated by what other people say, 76 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: Like you have to have your own self motivation as 77 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: an individual hand as a team. So, UM, I feel like, 78 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: don't matter what it's gonna be something you know, you 79 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: play well in a game, that be because somebody was 80 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: heard to be because this didn't happen. Um. At the 81 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: end of the day, Like I think it has to 82 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: be your own personal team goal to go out there 83 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: and play well and try to play together. So um, 84 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: I would say that's what motivates us, Like we don't 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: really care if someone says, you know, they haven't played anybody. 86 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: I think that's more disrespectful to the talent in this 87 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: league to think that, you know, you could just go 88 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: out there and and you know, roll the balls out 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: there and just go play good football. Like it's hard 90 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: to win in this league weekend and we can. Why 91 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: do you think it didn't work out with Michael Bennett here? Um, 92 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: I just think that's the way things go. You know. 93 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a certain reason. Um, Like I 94 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: got along really well with Mike. You know, I think 95 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: a lot of us, you know, we Saturdays before games, 96 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: we sit downstairs and talk for an actual hour and 97 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: a half after the meeting's laughing and joking. But sometimes 98 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: on a football standpoint, it just doesn't work out. Um. 99 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: That's why there's thirty two teams in this league and 100 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: guys played for different teams. Um. I think because of that, 101 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: whether it's scheme, person like, it's it could be a 102 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: bunch of different things. But you know, whatever happens, I think, Um, 103 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: you know, I wish him the best in Dallas. I 104 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: think he's obviously a great player. He's been a great 105 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: player for a year, so I'm sure he'll help him. Devin, 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: We've heard a lot of good things about Mohammed Sanu, 107 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: your Rutger's teammate, and he sounds like you guys, sort 108 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: of hard working, versatile. We know he can throw and 109 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: do all. Tell me something I don't know about Mohammed 110 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: Sanu that he's gonna bring to your team. Um. I 111 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: think he also have a leadership component about my things 112 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: because of um, you know, how he's building and what 113 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: he's done in this league. Um, you know. And I 114 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: think that kind of shows you know, you get a 115 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: guy that comes in and you know the daughter, but 116 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: it is how you handle yourself, you know. I always 117 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: remember back when I was younging at Bill said leadership 118 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: with about attitude and performance. Um, and you know that's 119 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: what comes to mind when I think about you know, 120 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: coming in same type of attitude every day, just put 121 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: your head down and work. Um. And then he go 122 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: out there and play well. I think you become a 123 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: leader on a team, um, you know pretty fast. I 124 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: don't think it has to be something that happened, you know, 125 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: over a full year or five or six months. It 126 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: can happen immediately just your approach to the game. Beyond 127 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: the leadership component, what are the physical assets he brings 128 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: to the team. I think he's a big, strong guy. 129 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that sticks out when 130 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: you watch him is just his hand. He does a 131 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: great job catching the football with his hands and traffic. 132 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: You know, he just does a good job. He focuses 133 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: on that um So I think that's one thing that 134 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: you know, really sticks out. When we have a bigger 135 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: guy like that's pretty fearless. We'll go over the middle, 136 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: but most importantly we'll go over there and catch the ball. 137 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: So I know, I used to love watching him. You 138 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: know when I was at Rutgers in my senior year, 139 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: he made big playout the big play, whether it was 140 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: running with the ball in our wildcat or if who 141 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: was going out there playing receiver. He was a big 142 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: part of offense even as a young guy. A big 143 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: conversation really all season the last couple of days has 144 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: been you know whether or not Tom Brady might consider 145 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: retirement at the end of the year. For you, Devin, 146 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: is it something that once the season begins you're just 147 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: locked in on the season and then you might start 148 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: thinking about your future at the end of the year. 149 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Or is it something that seeps in during the season. 150 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: How do you how do you handle that, especially now 151 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: you've been in the league ten years. Yeah, I think 152 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: it's more half of the season because, like you said, 153 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: when you're in the thicket this thing like we played 154 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: Monday night, you get one day off, then you're right 155 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: back on Wednesday thinking about Cleveland, what we need to do. 156 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: You just don't have time to, you know, sit back 157 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: and think. And I know some people like Bodang and 158 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: you'll have a boy week and I'm like, man, if 159 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: you know my wife, my boy, we's already playing out. 160 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: There's always something that you don't really have time to 161 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: think about it. You're just so such in a moment 162 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: trying to win games, and that's what you focus on. 163 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: I know, you guys, defensive backs, most of you are 164 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: NBA fans. I know you're an NBA fan. NBA season 165 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: is here. Can I get Devin mccordy's thirty second NBA 166 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: and Celtics preview. I like the Celtics this year. I 167 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: think you know, you lose a great player like Tyree, 168 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: but then you add a Kemba Walker who's a great player, 169 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: just not as known because he's playing down to Charlotte. 170 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: But I think they have an opportunity because of the 171 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: amount of good players they have spread their wealth. I 172 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: think Williams will be a big step up big time 173 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: this year with alhol for the FU a distance aside, 174 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: so I think the Celtics will have a good chance 175 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: to just be there. And I think this year in 176 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: the NBA, there's will be a lot of teams that 177 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: I need to jail throughout the season, so to be 178 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: hard to evaluate everybody, you know as soon as the 179 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: season starts off. But I think some of those top 180 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: talent the teams will really show themselves towards the end 181 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: of the year. Final question before we let you go. 182 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: Your first year, you had seven interceptions. You've got five 183 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: so far this year. How do you put yourself in 184 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: a position to get five at this point? Is it 185 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: a combination of luck and skilled game planning? What's involved? 186 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: You got to just make sure the head coach gets 187 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: a lot of really good defensive players and you push 188 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: yourself a position that when they made good plays, you 189 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: get capitalize. So I think that's what it's been about. 190 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: I think if you look at our defense on the whole, 191 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: everyone's making plays because there's so many good players out 192 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: there that you know, we're able to be disrupted. We're 193 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: able to make quarterbacks confuse, and I think that's shown 194 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: just as annount of turnovers we have as a whole. 195 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: Do you do you know what the record is for turnovers? No? No, 196 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: for interceptions by a single player, Oh no, no, idea, 197 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: it's probably a lot. There's a lot of Hall of 198 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: Families fourteen by Dick Night Train Lane in nineteen fifteen. Wow, 199 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna break it Stroy Lions right, the Rams, 200 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: the Rams. Okay, I'm wrong on that. So you you 201 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: got that circled, You're well on your way. I think 202 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: you got a chance for a couple on Sunday.
