1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: What's up. How's the uh the week been down here?

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Obviously you playing down here justin Yeah, I actually still

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: live here during the off season. But I actually still

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: live here during the off season, so I'm pretty used

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: to the heat, and uh, it really doesn't bother me much.

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: It's a little different than Boston, for sure, but we

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: got a little aclimated to it, like last week in Vegas,

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: So it's been pretty cool down here to spend time

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: with my teammates and get ready for this game. Man,

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: She's opened a big game. How do you feel like

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: this linebacker group that has been able to come together

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: over these last two a couple of weeks, a months. Man,

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: I think we've we've done a good job of figuring

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: out how East guy can you know what's saying, helped

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: his defense, uh in any particular way. Rather, it's one

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: guy coming out the field when another guy runs on, uh,

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: coaching him up when he comes out the field, and

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: and everybody go out there. We've had the same level

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: of expectation for everybody. I'm saying, we run to the ball.

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: We play are starting with Ben me Mac to buy

21
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,560

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: there majority of the time. So we just do a

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: good job of helping each other and uh learning this defense, man,

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: because we gotta go, we gotta show up. We won

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,400

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: on the field and other than other than death. But

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,880

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: it's it's been a long time coming. And Uh, I'm

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: excited because I get to do it in the first

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840

Speaker 1: and I go out there and have fun and play ball.

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's writing about what I can do, what

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: I can be, but I'm excited to go show it.

49
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: When it comes to two, Um, what the what the

50
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: pig to defending my guy decisions? What I'm saying, two

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: of the young guy young guys got fresh legs. They

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: like to get out of the pocket, you know what

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying, when they get a little pressure on them. Uh.

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: He's done a good job over the last couple years,

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, saying developing itself and his coaches. Even with

56
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: the coaching changes, you know what I'm saying, he's been developing.

57
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: He got some new weapons out there in Miami. But uh,

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: we gotta do a good job keeping him in the

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: pocket and uh not letting him have easy throws so

60
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: he can get himself going. What I'm saying, he's kind

61
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: of a guy that you see him flexing on the

62
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: field when he makes plays. And if you let him

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: get going like that, he's gonna get bill confidence. So

64
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: you gotta keep them, keep them down while you can.

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead. Bad good, that's why don't we take

66
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: two more for your Yeah, y'all's too good. It's good. Yeah.

67
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned going backwards, just to playing in Miami. What

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: do you think the reunion will be? I know, Big

69
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: and some of other guys are still there for you.

70
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: It's it's straight smoke when we first go out there.

71
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I play for the Patriots now,

72
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: so I love them guys to death. You know what

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I probably dap them up before the game,

74
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: but when the clock starts until the clock ends. You

75
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We're opposing team, We're opposing teammates,

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean teams, and uh, you know, so I highlight

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: them after the game. It's good to see you. Make

78
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: sure everybody healthy. But until then, we keep it pushing.

79
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: We play ball, man, like a quickly follow up. There

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: a lot of thing said about to eat. You played

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: here for a while, right, What impact is it playing

82
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: here in September in this heat? Uh, it's just small

83
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: stuff for me personally, it's just small stuff, like Ruther

84
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: not I'm a warre gloves, you know, what I'm saying,

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: My loves get so wet from sweating, there's no reason

86
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: for me to wear them. Uh, getting tired faster. Even

87
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: though you're in great condition, Like we're probably one of

88
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: the best conditioned teams in the NFL. But when it's

89
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: heat outside and it's all this humidity going on, it

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: does impact you, but it impacts them as well. So

91
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: you gotta remember that, Like, we're not the only team

92
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: being impacted by this. I know they've practiced down here

93
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: all the time, but it's still fix you take one.

94
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: You think being down here for these days, for these practices,

95
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna help out on Sunday. Yeah, it got it.

96
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Got it gets our team acclimated to the heat. You

97
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. The type of exhaustion we're gonna

98
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: have out there on the field, this type of conditioning

99
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: that we're gonna need, staying hydrated, making like this small

100
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's not about the big things. The

101
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: big stuff is going out there and playing football. This

102
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: is small things like making sure you're staying hydrated. Stretch

103
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: you don't need to be cramping up. You got your

104
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: best players cramping up there on the sideline, and uh,

105
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: not making players out there on the field. So uh,

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: we like to have everybody don't go hydrate well, would

107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: answer the game? Oh yeah, for sure. You should be

108
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: tucking them down the night before, before the game all that.

109
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: If you try to chuck it down during the game,

110
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: it's too late. Black good, So I'm good man.
