1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Matthew, how are you?

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: I'm Wilson, how are you doing well? Man?

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: You've played in a lot of these Patriots Colts games,

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: some really big ones, playoff games, conference championship games, Brady

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: Manning games. Where does this Colts Patriots game fit in

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: sort of that anthology, given where we are and what

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: it means?

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm glad youessed.

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 3: I think I've spent a lot of time this week

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: thinking about those games and how much they meant to

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: both sides. And this one's special, obviously with us being

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: here first time for us. I'm not sure if they've

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: played here before, but this is a unique opportunity and obviously,

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: you know, both teams are in unique circumstances, unique situations,

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: So this game means a lot to both of us, so.

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: We're excited about it.

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: I expected to be competitive, just like it's always been.

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: It means a lot to both owners, It means a

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: lot to you know, both organizations.

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: Look, I'm not saying it's Manning Brady, but it's it

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 3: certainly means a lot.

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: Does it have any of that you know earlier in

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: your career? I know you remember that Coltsweek was fair?

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've certainly felt it. I've certainly felt it, and

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 3: coach has gone out of his way to highlight the

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: past two years the way those games went, and they

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 3: were two totally different games, So it does have that feel.

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: It's certainly personal for both sides, and you know, I'm

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: sure both teams are excited.

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: Matthew. First of all, what you got up there with you?

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: I just did a competition. I want to a German

33
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: national team jersey about that. I know a little bit

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: about soccer, not a ton trivia trivia trivia.

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So.

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: You've referenced in the past that you know that there's

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: not a whole lot of time left in your career.

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: Are you savoring experiences you haven't had before?

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: For and is how do you.

40
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: For while you're here in the game, and whether it's

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: leading up to it or in the game on Sunday,

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: what do you do to kind of take that in

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: to kind of get that feeling?

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: I am saying, Look, I never thought be in Gerney,

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: Germany for any reason, let alone playing the game I've

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: loved my entire life, so I'm very thankful to be here.

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: You know, this is such a unique experience and opportunity

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: for all of us, but for someone like me who's

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: very close to the end, I certainly don't take it

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: lightly and I'm very appreciative of it. Uh my family

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: came out, so they're tired, but they're here so hopefully

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: just enjoying some time with them and getting a chance

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: to see some of the sights and uh, you know,

54
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: just be thankful for this unique experience.

55
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's not something I take for brand.

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: Do you look around? Will you take a moment before

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: the game and kind of look around and takeing what

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: makes it unique?

59
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? I probably will.

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: As best I can without you know, breaking routine or

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: losing focus. But you know, I think it's important while

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: we're in certain moments to appreciate them, and as I

63
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 3: think this is one of those moments for me personally,

64
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: so I'll try to make sure that I take the

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 3: time to appreciate it, right, Hi, Matthew.

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 5: Special teams are a fundamental part of the game, and

67
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 5: when new players come to the NFL, they maybe were

68
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 5: like superstars in college, they are not used to like

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 5: having rept in special teams, but they can actually create

70
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: a good career. I mean you did, many players did.

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: What is your mentorship in this way upon your experience

72
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: when you have those new guys that you can involve

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 5: in special teams.

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, great question.

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: You know, I think if you're going to be effective

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 3: when it comes to special teams, it takes a great

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: deal of humility. Like you said, for many guys, it's

78
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: a transition in their role. Maybe in college they were

79
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: the star player on the team. You know, special teams

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: is not about an individual star. It's about a group

81
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: playing together and trying to make an impact on the game.

82
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: And you know, I've been.

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: Very fortunate to be here with the Patriots, a place

84
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: where special teams has always been appreciated. Then I think

85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: when I got here, I guys like Larry Izzo, Sam Aikin,

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: Sammy Morris.

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: They taught me.

88
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: The process of playing in the kicking game, but they

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: really showed me what it looked like with their attitude,

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: with their toughness, with their selflessness. So for me is

91
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: the older statesman, it's I feel the responsibility to show

92
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: the young guys, guys like Brendan Schooler and other guys

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: that we've had over the years, show those young guys

94
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: what it means to be selfless playing the kicking game

95
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: and work for the team goal. And it's been an

96
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: honor to be a part of that tradition, and it's

97
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: certainly an honor to pass that tradition on to younger generations.

98
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 6: Thanks hey, Matthew, you held up the jersey and it

99
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 6: made me think, could you maybe just have a little

100
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 6: more color as to how that happened? Like, was it

101
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 6: at the end of practice? How did the jersey end

102
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 6: up out there?

103
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: Maybe? What was the question you're in?

104
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: Well, the neat thing about, you know, doing things like this,

105
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: you get a chance to interact with various media outlets

106
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: and obviously being here at this beautiful facility, the German

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: national team media is here, and Zeke and I did

108
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: a trivia competition. We had to hit a you know,

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: a buzzer and you know, I got the jersey, Zeke doesn't.

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: So they asked us a lot of questions. We both

111
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: answered a lot of them wrong, but you know, it's

112
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: it's really a neat experience to be able to do

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: that with Zeke. Obviously for me as a fan, being

114
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 3: his teammate this year has been fantastic and he's been

115
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: such a joy to be around. But to have a

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: moment like that, you certainly appreciate it to be able

117
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: to laugh a little bit, have some fun. You know,

118
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 3: I think it's important to do that. So yeah, yeah,

119
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 3: I give this to my kids. Don't enjoy it, Matthew.

120
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: You guys are gonna put me to sleep. You turn

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: those lights off? Do we need the lights back there?

122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: We got?

123
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 7: Have you allowed yourself to think how impactful this trip

124
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 7: can be on the next generation? And you know, maybe

125
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 7: there's you know, young people out there watching the game

126
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 7: that didn't think about playing football, but you know, maybe

127
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 7: you want to go that route, go to the States

128
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 7: and play in college and possibly play in the NFL.

129
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 7: Have you allowed yourself to think about how impactful this trip?

130
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: Maybe I have.

131
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: You know, it's amazing how much this game has grown,

132
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: even in the last sixteen years. But you know, I

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: think back to my dad's playing career and uh, not

134
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: for one minute did I ever think that a team

135
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: would fly to Europe and play games, or fly to

136
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: Mexico and play games during the regular season. It's been

137
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: remarkable to see the growth of our game and to

138
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: gain support internationally. It really is a beautiful thing. And

139
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: then I think about teammates that I've had over the years,

140
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: like Sebastian Volmer and Jakob Johnson. I mean, guys who

141
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: have come from Germany and you know, found a way

142
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: to pursue the dream of playing the National Football League.

143
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: So you never know who may be watching. You never

144
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: know what playing a game like this may mean for

145
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: the growth of the game. But I think at the

146
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: end of the day, we all love the game. We

147
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: want to see it thrive and be successful, and we

148
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: want to share it with the world.

149
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 8: You know.

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: I know it's an American sport, but I think it's

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: a game that everyone can enjoy around the world. So

152
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: this is a unique opportunity for all of us. I

153
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: hope that we do a good job as ambassadors for

154
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: the league this week and represent the league the right

155
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: way and you know, engaging defense here in Germany.

156
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 9: Matthew Duke kind of read my mind, So I'm gonna

157
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 9: ask you to expound on his question because I think

158
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 9: thirty three years ago you qualified regular season game. Your

159
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 9: father's team came to Germany to play in Berlin against

160
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 9: the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know if Jackie played

161
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 9: in that game or not. He may not have, but nonetheless,

162
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 9: to consider. You know, that game was instrumental, I imagine

163
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 9: in really introducing football at this level to fans here

164
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 9: in Germany. Fifty five thousand fans for that game. Just

165
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 9: to think about from there to here, your dad's team,

166
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 9: his career, your career, and what it's meant in this

167
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 9: overall picture that we talked about the growth of the

168
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 9: game and introducing American football to wider audiences.

169
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely great question.

170
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: You know, I remember talking to my dad about that

171
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: experience and others like it, and in no way, shape

172
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: or form did he envision us playing like games that

173
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: count over here. You know, for them, it was a

174
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: new thing. And obviously I think growth was in the

175
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: minds and hearts of a lot of people that were

176
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: running the league at that time. But uh, I don't

177
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: think that they ever could have envisioned what this sport

178
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 3: has become, and they certainly couldn't envision you know, teams

179
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: playing over here on a regular basis.

180
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: So you really have to give a lot of credit to.

181
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: The people who who run this league, who are their

182
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: job every day is to grow this league, But most

183
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 3: importantly you give credit to the players. I mean, this

184
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: this league is built on the backs of the players. Uh,

185
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: they have made it what it is. We wouldn't be

186
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: here without the Jackie Slayers of the world, the Joe Namaths,

187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: the Joe Montana's, the Me and Joe Greens, the you know,

188
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 3: the the Ya tittles. I mean, people that built this

189
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: game from nothing. And uh, you know you think of

190
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: like Curly Lambeau, right, did he ever think all those

191
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: years ago that they'd be coming over here to Germany

192
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: to play football? Uh from you know, little Wisconsin or

193
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: wherever it may be. So Uh, I give a ton

194
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: of credit and and tip the hat to those generations

195
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: before us from making this what it is. We're happy

196
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: to play our role in the growth of the game now,

197
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 3: and certainly the generations ahead have a huge responsibility to

198
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: keep carrying that torch and and hopefully taking this league

199
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 3: to higher heights. But you know, it's it's really crazy

200
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 3: when you think of it, that we're here doing this.

201
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: It's a blessing and we're thankful to be a part

202
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: of it.

203
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 10: Hi from Catalonia Radio regarding the importance from the special teams,

204
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 10: you're out a special teams legend, so thank you. What

205
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 10: do you think about the the that them fans and

206
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 10: the media really appreciate the special teams they decided.

207
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: You know, I love I love coming over here to

208
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: Europe and playing because I feel like the loudest the

209
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: stadium is when the balls kicked.

210
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: So, you know, I you know, special teams.

211
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 3: It's tough to say where our appreciation level is, right,

212
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Sometimes I feel it, sometimes I don't.

213
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: I certainly feel it when I come over here, but

214
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: we don't really do it for recognition or appreciation. We

215
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: do it for each other. It's like I said earlier,

216
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: it's really about the team and trying to help the

217
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: team be successful. And we're okay being nameless, faceless guys

218
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: just the number out there. We're okay with that as

219
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: long as we do our job and we try to

220
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: help the football team. So the beautiful thing about playing

221
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 3: in New England is we have fans that appreciate the

222
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 3: kicking game, which I've always been thankful for. I think

223
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: they appreciate it more than anybody else in the league.

224
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: And then, like I said, coming over here to Europe

225
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: is fantastic because when the balls kicked, they cheer.

226
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 10: And we like that, so we will remember you or

227
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 10: for four of course.

228
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Thank you very much.

229
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: Coordinator.

230
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: This was good.

231
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 11: Hey Matthew, how are you? I'm good, How are you well?

232
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 11: Welcome back to Europe. A few you speak about the

233
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 11: history of the game. Before twenty eleven, you had your

234
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 11: You've been asked about this before your loan catch from

235
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 11: forty six yard against Miami. I think twenty eleven.

236
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: Trying to memory.

237
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, in a win as well, I think double yes.

238
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: Most importantly, Yeah.

239
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 11: Have there been times this season or unfortunately Kendrick Bourne

240
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 11: has just been injured and obviously some young guys on

241
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 11: the office where you thought, oh, I might have to

242
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 11: get some snaps out now.

243
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 2: I'm retiring from receiver. No. I.

244
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: You know, look, we've we've joked about it, but you know,

245
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: we've got a tremendous group of guys, a lot of

246
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: talent and a lot younger knees and a lot better

247
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: ability at this point certainly, So you know, I love

248
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: that room though. I love those guys that we have.

249
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: They enjoy being around each other. They bring great choy

250
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: and energy to our football team. So really proud of

251
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: that group. And they've they've had a lot of adversity

252
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: this year. But you know, they keep coming into work,

253
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: they work hard, they keep their heads down, and that's

254
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 3: all you can ask for from a group of guys

255
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: like that.

256
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 11: In terms of that adversity, sorry that you touched upon

257
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 11: with the young guys, do you think this serves them

258
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 11: better for the future as opposed to you know, because

259
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 11: when you're winning Super Bowls, you've been on many of

260
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 11: those teams. You know, it's sometimes not easy, but things

261
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 11: are going well like at these moments, going to be

262
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 11: crucial for them in the future.

263
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I've tried to stress that with the football

264
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: team this year whenever I have a chance to speak

265
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: to the guys. I truly believe that adversity makes you

266
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: not only better as a professional, but I think better men.

267
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: You know, you can't really grow unless you're under tension,

268
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: under pressure, under adversity. And you know, we've experienced a

269
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 3: lot of growth this year, and it's been uncomfortable, it's

270
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: been it's been just flat out unenjoyable at times. But

271
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: I think everyone, if they take the right mindset and

272
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: approach here has a lesson that they can learn to

273
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: make themselves better professionally and as you know, and personally.

274
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: So hopefully we don't miss those lessons.

275
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: Thanks Matthew over here. Hello.

276
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 8: If we talked about the past a lot of this

277
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 8: press conference, if we look at the last twenty twenty

278
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 8: five years of the Patriots, it has been an outstanding legacy.

279
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 8: Obviously you've been a big part of it long time.

280
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 8: How do you feel looking back at those years of

281
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 8: the Patriots and the out two thousands and you're part

282
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 8: of it.

283
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, very humbled and appreciative to have been a part

284
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: of such a great tradition and legacy, and very thank

285
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: for the men that I worked alongside. I think the

286
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: one thing that I carried with me more than anything else,

287
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: of the relationships. You remember, you remember the big games,

288
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: and you remember some of the moments, but what you

289
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: never forget of the relationships, the laughs, the ups, the downs.

290
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: So it's really been a blessing, and you know, you know,

291
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: when I get to the end of my career, it's

292
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: certainly something that I look back on and be very

293
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: proud of and thankful for, and I try to I

294
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: try to do that now.

295
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: But it was a special time for a lot of us.

296
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that we all appreciated it because we were

297
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: so young and We're just winning and having a lot

298
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: of fun, but certainly thankful to have been a part

299
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: of that.

300
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 12: Matthew, you noted, you know, some uncomfortable moments this year.

301
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 12: Was last week a couple of players benched, and this

302
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 12: week a couple of players didn't come on the trip

303
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 12: due to personal reasons. As a as a captain, how

304
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 12: do you navigate the situation, you know, when you have

305
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 12: that sort of stuff start.

306
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: To arise here?

307
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: Good question, Well, I think you know, all of us

308
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: have one hundred percent trust and confidence and coach to

309
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: do what's best for the football team. And he said

310
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: it ever since I've got here, and he's held true

311
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: to it. He's going to do with what's in the

312
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: best interest of the football team. And those decisions are

313
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: not really up to the players. So once he does

314
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: make a decision, I think it's our job to support

315
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: guys that you know are here, aren't here, you know,

316
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: try to support them however we can try to, you know,

317
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: encourage the team to keep pushing towards the goal and

318
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: stay positive. You know, I think in times like this

319
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: it's very hard to stay positive with everything that we've

320
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: been through, but you know, being negative and Tearing down

321
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 3: guys is not going to help anybody here. So just

322
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: building guys up, I think is very important. And then

323
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: you know, whatever the message is from coach, it's our

324
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: job to relay that in our own fashion, uh, to

325
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: our teammates so that we you know, hopefully can all

326
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: buy into it. But you know, it's it goes without saying.

327
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: It's been challenging, but we're just taking it one day

328
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: at a time.
