1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Kendrick, how are you bless? How are you? I'm well,

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm well. We were talking to Josh yesterday and I

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: asked him about you, and he brought up two things

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: that struck me. One he said, when you get the ball,

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: you're always looking to go vertical, and I'm sort of

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: wondering if that's just a mindset that you've had for

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: a long time. And the other thing he said was,

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: you're like a light switch that never gets turned off.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Your comments. Now, that's definitely when I catched the ball,

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: trying to get into the defense. Of course, you know,

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: get as much jars as I can before the defense

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: can get there. You know, fastest way to get into

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: the defense is getting vertical. So that's kind of my mindset,

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 1: trying to get as much jards as I can out

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: of each play. And then Josh just having that energy.

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: You know, that's the kind of guy I am, and

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: for my teammates and just who I am, man, I

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: come out like that. I practice every day, so I

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: know he appreciates it. I know my teammates appreciate it.

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: And just gonna keep it going, man, because a good energy,

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, just can flow through the team. It can

22
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: flow from one person and then flow into the whole

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: team somehow someway. So just to be one of those

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: guys just helps the team as an overall group. Thank you. Sorry.

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Our next question leven Red fell about you on Seagal Well,

26
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: mister energy as questions. So, because it's a game inside

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: the division, there's always a taught that when one person

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: one team gets the other person, there's a revenge game

29
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: going on for the other team. And maybe we got

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: a chance to see that with Buffalo, with everything's doing

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: it when you walk into Miami, is there a revenge

32
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: attitude going on? It is just another game? Um? Yeah, man,

33
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean everybody thinks different, So you know, some people

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: might think like that, some of my teammates, but for me,

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: it's just you know, coming in another game, another challenge,

36
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: and we got a lot to play for. You know,

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: if the scenario goes the way we want, then then

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: we can be playing for a lot more than we realize.

39
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: So I think everybody just needs to come with that

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: mindset that we're playing for a lot. You know, we're

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: playing for respect, We're playing to keep this thing rolling

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: through the playoffs, And I think that's the mindset but

43
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: it's definitely like, yeah, we want to get them back.

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: And if you don't think like that, then you're not

45
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: a real football player, you're not a competitor. So yeah,

46
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely kind of a ranch tea at the

47
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: same time. Thank you, sir. Thanks question Allen seag for

48
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: by Chris Ryan. Thanks Dacy, how you're doing, Kendrick Bless,

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. Um what your thinking camp

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: on for a second and think back to September the

51
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: first time he played these guys. Who was the opening

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: game of the season. You were going about to play

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: your first game of the Patriots with a rookie quarterback.

54
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: Now come all the way to the last game of

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: the season where you are, where the whole situation has changed.

56
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: It's a real big job, isn't it. Definitely? Man, just

57
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: part of the progress of the whole team, dude. And

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm not knowing what was going to happen through the year,

59
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like we thought it was going

60
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: to be tougher than it was. I mean, I don't

61
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: know how it was going to be. Nobody really knew.

62
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: But for it to play out how it is, I

63
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: would take this any day. You know, to win the

64
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: where we're winning and do things we've been doing is awesome.

65
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: So yeah, just just the growth is what I'm most

66
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: happy about for myself to and a lot of my

67
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: teammates that I've seen new guys here that have adapted

68
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: to the culture here, and I think that's the most

69
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: awesome thing. But just winning in the hole is always good.

70
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: So to be able to play football the way we

71
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: want to play and grow that way, it's awesome. So

72
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: I hopefully I'm a part of it for a long

73
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: a long time. Thanks Kendred. My next question Chris Ryan

Speaker 1: you know, a feel for what things are gonna be like,

78
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: and not just in terms of being on the football field,

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,720

80
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,720

00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: be tested today somehow someway and I enjoyed that the most.

85
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: I think that's what has made me progress the best,

86
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: just being out here in the city and everything like that.

87
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: It's been awesome too. The fans and everybody's been welcoming

Speaker 1: me with open arms. Do like and you know, when

89
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,560

00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: I want to do the right thing, do everything right

Speaker 1: so things go right with it for the team and

92
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: for myself. So like I would say my coach is

93
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the way they've pushed me, the way they've challenged me,

94
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the way they've developed me and for me to get

95
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: better is what I appreciate most. And I feel like

96
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: why I've been successful so far. So shout out to

97
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: those guys and man, they do a tremendous job. And

98
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: you know my job is to just do what they

99
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: ask because they're setting me up for success. So if

100
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: I can listen and apply it every day and then

101
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: going to the game, I'm going to have success. So

102
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: shout out to my coaches, And what's your mindset been

103
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: when you know you get the ball in your hands

104
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: and you're looking to get extra yards after that cast

105
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Because Josh was talking about that yesterday, and you know

106
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: that explosiveness and how important that's been for the team

107
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: this year. When you get the ball, what do you

108
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: what are you thinking of? That's fun about taking to

109
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: get extra yard? Yeah, just attacking, you know, being aggressive,

110
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: not running scared, you know, running to make a play.

111
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: You never know what's gonna happen. And Bill emphasized that

112
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, just making the defense work,

113
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, not just run out of bounds or whatever

114
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: it may be. Things, just making them working, try to

115
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: tackle us and stuff like that. So having that mindset,

116
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, good things tend to happen. The defense relaxes

117
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: and you running as hard as you can. You know,

118
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: you might break that tackle because he thinks you're you

119
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: don't want to break the tackle, but and honestly you're

120
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: trying to break every tackle or whatever it may be.

121
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: That's just my mindset. So I've made a lot of

122
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: players thinking like that. Thanks. And two final questions Mike

123
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: Jordy and Michael Hurley. I'm circling back Kendrick. You touched

124
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: on it just a little bit here, but I'm just

125
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: curious about you know, we've heard a lot about how

126
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: this team has bonded. I'm just curious about Like, as

127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: a group of free agents, there were so many new

128
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: guys and so much money spent on new guys that

129
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: brought into this culture. You feel like a bond with

130
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: those guys as well as happened over the course of

131
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: the here, like we're all new here and we're trying

132
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Let's stick together, and you know,

133
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean across the board, you guys are all making

134
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: an impact. Yeah, everybody as bought it as a crew.

135
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: But then yeah, especially the new guys. You know, we've

136
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: we fear a feed off each other, like how they

137
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: how are you doing this well, you know, figuring this out,

138
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: how you're adapting it is, and just talking to each other,

139
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: knowing each other, growing with each other. It just it

140
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: gets better that way. You know, if this guy can

141
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: get through something and you just give them the inside

142
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: of how you do it or whatever, it might make

143
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: him get through it. So just working together being good

144
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: teammates has helped all of us. But I mean, I

145
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: think it's just everybody as a whole. Like I said,

146
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: the staff, everybody is expecting the best from us. So

147
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: if you can if you can have that attitude for yourself,

148
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, and and be ready for those expectations and

149
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: expect yourself to make those expectations. Then you'll find success.

150
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: But if you run from anything that you know the

151
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: coach is trying to teach you, if it's hard, it

152
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: just won't work. So I think a lot of the

153
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: guys new guys have that good mindset of what they

154
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: want from us, how they want it, and go on

155
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: applying it and just learning each and every day. I

156
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: think that's the best way. Thank you, sir. And last

157
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: question Michael Hurd, Hey, Kendrick, you talked a couple of

158
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: times about fighting for extra yards and whatnot. I have

159
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: to bring up. Sorry to bring up a sore subject,

160
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: but you got cracked pretty good the other day. I

161
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: know you tweeted about it a couple of times. I'm

162
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: just wondering when that happens. I mean, it seemed like

163
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: he got over it or recovered pretty quickly, But what's

164
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: that like in the moment he had to be a

165
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: little bit worried there? No, yeah, dude, I was definitely

166
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay away from the spin move. I

167
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: didn't know that guy was there, Like he was running

168
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: from behind me said when I spun like, that's when

169
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: I saw him when I finally like turned halfway and

170
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: then boom. But I just that was jumping hards I've

171
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: ever been hit. But it was like cool because I've

172
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: never hit that or so I'm like, Okay, now I

173
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: know what not to do it, when to do it,

174
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: time and place for everything. The journey was over and

175
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: I should just went down and that's exactly what I did.

176
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: We're trying to do too much, so it's just about

177
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: being more smooth. Ain't right. Still, moves are good moves,

178
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: but it's just about doing that at the right time

179
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: and that one was the wrong time. Fair enough, sorry

180
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: to bring up. Thank you Kendrick. Thanks everyone,
