1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: Lawrence, thanks for the time it as much appreciated, my friend.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: How big of a challenge, Lawrence, has this camp been

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: overall while dealing with all the COVID circumstances and of

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: course also the social justice stuff that has come up

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: and talked about the last week or so, sorry repeat

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: your cars on, Sar. How big of a challenge has

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: this camp been with COVID nineteen and everything else going on? Oh,

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: you know it was COVID nineteen. It admitted a unique

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: situation where you know, we didn't have okays or many

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: chance so we didn't get nobody on the field to

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: see their abilities and get the communication. So that being

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: a big issue, and on top of the safety of

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: anybody trying to get anybody safe and all that and

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: social justice, you know, it's it's heartbreaking. Can see what's

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: going on in America. You know, we having somebody get

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: shot on our main getting shot in the back, and

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: you get seventeen old kids shooting people for a protest

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: and walking up the officers with a load of rifle

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: and not being detained and seeing that, and you're trying

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: to figure out what can we do to get our

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: mesage across By seeing how taking that truly is and

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: heartbreaking for the world of paybody in our in our

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: locker room and all to out the league. How much

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: do you find yourself having to compartmentalize or is it

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: to the point where you don't try to compartmentalize anymore

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: and just realize, you know, the real world, the outside

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: world does take precedent and it does overlap into the

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: football world. It does. You can you can see that

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: and maybe, um lead there is that we're going on

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: in the world affects us one hundreds per ship and

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: we had to up platform to sting out about that

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: and and the masses pretty much look up to us

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: to see what we do. You know, it's messily you

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: could sit there and get more. Um, it's a situation

35
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: that they need to be addressed. And you see everybody's

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: address today and in a certain way where we can

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: get it to the matter saying hey, this it's not

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: all right, this is this is this shouldn't be accepted,

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: and this is what we're able to do. We can

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: use our platform and say this is that acceptable? You know,

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: we should we should have just this for what it's right.

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: And we human beings, we know what's wrong or what

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: is right and we should live by that and now

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: did get some way out? Lawrence guy is with us

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: here Dale and Keith Hart and Cattle's in for Dale

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: and keif on this Monday, a Patriots Monday. Lawrence, how

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: do you feel when when you go into the facilities

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: day by day? How do you feel the Patriots have

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: handled this situation? Do you feel comfortable? And what the

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: organization has done to support you guys and allow you

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: guys to share that platform as you've mentioned a couple

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: of times, as you said, we're handling this is where

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: and we're having your communication and some players and everybody,

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: and that's the best thing you could do is how

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: that communication and that it's letting people speak their minds

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: and and and express their emotions up. You can't sit

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: there and high coming with emotions of how they should feel,

58
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: how they should be upset. While all we could do

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: is as you cade each other on why we're upset

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: and why everything's going on, and continue to work through this.

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: So each every week we just get something done and

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: accomplish and I feel like we're handing a very good way,

63
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: um like with different James and everybody speaking their minds

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: and they able to how the team backed into what

65
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: they're able to say through their platform is um. I'm

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: blessing that we're able to do that as you see

67
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: people that can't speak their minds. There's a lot of

68
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: people in the world cannot speak the worth that they

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: want to express and way able to do that for them.

70
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned Devin and James and Jason mccordy. They were,

71
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, pretty open and honest. I thought the other

72
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: day talking about these issues and including the fact that

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: they don't pretend to have the answers. They're not sure

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: whether you guys should practice, shouldn't practice? If you don't practice,

75
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: when do you return? How much leadership have they brought

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: through this, and how important are those guys into what

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: you guys are able to do staying together as a

78
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: football team. Um. Those One of those things is you

79
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: have people that are there that are able to espress

80
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: your emotions, so you know you could that nobody has answered.

81
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what we should and it should not do.

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: There's no wrong, there's no a lot of answasis um.

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: You have to handle the way that you handle it

84
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: and through the team that we're China is the best

85
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: way that we can. UM. But we have people said

86
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: in places, we have leaderships, we have open formal and

87
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: we can communicate with each other throughout the locker room

88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and has your discussions, you know, and those of the

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: discussions that need to be had. Um. The worst thing

90
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: you could do is not having to have this conversation.

91
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: And if they ignore it, and if it's not something

92
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: to be ignored, it's something that is to discuss, and

93
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: we continue to have those discus something to continue to

94
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: move forward with him, Lawrence guy is with us. Just

95
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: one more on this, Lawrence from me. When you look

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: at the NFL big picture, is there anything, as you said,

97
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: no one has the exact answers and knows how to

98
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: how to truly solve this problem with one you know,

99
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: swipe of the magic Wanzo to speak. But when you

100
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: look at as an NFL player, is there anything that

101
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: you look at and say the league can do this

102
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: that you think would help it? What do you want

103
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: to see from the league as a player. So the

104
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: league is doing the best they can. I can't tell

105
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: the league what they shouldn't should do, right, but I

106
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: think the clear message, um that the league is getting

107
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: down the players for getting out that you see the

108
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: injustice out there. You see what's going on, you know

109
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: what from right and Lall bottom line, you know it

110
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: right when you're walking down the street and you hear

111
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: a gunshot and you see a seventeen year old kid

112
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: walking down with a rifle, you hold to the tame

113
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: and matterpection not let him go. You you mail them

114
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: line involved, you know, not to shooting on our man,

115
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: and you milk the line in Lall. Just two many

116
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: situations where right and wrong it seemed blatantly ignored. So

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: it's I think the league is joined and the players

118
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: are doing their best to put that menthos out like

119
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, the difference between injustice and it's shown. He

120
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: was shown and you see the NBA is doing it.

121
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: A lot of different platforms are doing it. They're saying,

122
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: we just want injustice for what it is and we

123
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: see the injustice that shouldn't be there. Laurence a football

124
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: question here, and I think this will tell me whether

125
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: you're a glass half empty or half full kind of guy.

126
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: Are you guys a lot more prepared right now than

127
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: you were, say, two weeks ago, or you are you

128
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: guys still far from where you need to be in

129
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: two weeks when you'll play the Dolphins. You get better

130
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: every single week. You can't leave behind, you can't live

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: in the week past. Every single week you have to

132
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: get better. And that's what we're doing. We're getting better

133
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: everything and practice to get out there every time. We

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: put the padded on every time, but our helming on,

135
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: they're getting better. And that's the only thing that you

136
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: can wish for and hopeful that you get better. So

137
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: when we get on the film today, we're gonna correct

138
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: in the state and hopefully in the day before. So

139
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: you always have got to keep moving forward because once

140
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: you saw moving beast first, you're not playing win the football,

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: and we're trying to play win the football, and we

142
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: had to win every day. Lawrence guy with us on

143
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: the Harbor One Hotline. Just one more question from me

144
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Lawrence today, and I want to ask you a football

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: question as well. A lot of reporting about Dietrich Wise

146
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: looking better against the run this camp and physically looking bigger.

147
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: What have you seen from Wise that you would say

148
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: is different than what you've seen from him prior years.

149
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: I feel like the whole unit has improved from prior

150
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: years that have been wanted to sing on one individual

151
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: because I think we all improved in a certain way,

152
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: and we took the challenge that we left last year

153
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: of we need to get better after an aspect and

154
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I felt like that's what we were doing and OTAs

155
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: we challenged each other, virtually they get better. And when

156
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: getting into camp, we saw the competition, evaluate our game

157
