1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Hello, how's it going, Matt.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: You have no touchdowns five interceptions over the last three games.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: I know you've mentioned you're still confident, but difficult to

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: maintain that confidence, but you haven't beginning the results that

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: you want.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are results. So like what I try to

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: focus on is the process.

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 3: And when you think about like trying to make plays,

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 3: you usually don't, And I think that's important. I think

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 3: you have to operate within the system, within yourself as

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 3: a quarterback, and those things will come, you know, when

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: you do the process right. But if you're not doing

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: the process right, then you won't get the result.

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: You encouraged by the sec he was saying yesterday.

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: He was encouraging what you guys were able to do

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: in that set almost all.

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 4: Nice to see that on film and use that as

18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: a kind of a building block.

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: For Yeah, every game is a new game.

20
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: And definitely want to build on some of the things

21
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: we've done and then learn from the things that we

22
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 3: haven't done very well.

23
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: So that's all you can do.

24
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: And I definitely feel like we need to take that

25
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: positive energy and carry it through and keep fighting and

26
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: keep working together and talking and communicating. I felt like

27
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: we communicated well during the game. We've communicated well these

28
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 3: past couple of days and meetings, so that needs to

29
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: keep going.

30
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: Defense, how much do they sort of made you drive

31
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: the ball because they against the play that's where their

32
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 2: trademark is not.

33
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: Necessarily Yeah, I mean they do a great job up front,

34
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: creating turnovers and sacks and all that stuff, and very

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 3: sound defense. Obviously played against them a lot, but they're

36
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: very good and they work well together. They've played a

37
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: lot of football together and definitely one of the most

38
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: sound defenses in the NFL for sure, and they create

39
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: great turnovers and obviously they do it all the time,

40
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: so you see it all over tape. Up front is

41
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: really where it starts, and definitely an impressive defense.

42
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: You've seen a lot of good pass rushes the pass

43
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: best league I do.

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they have great players at each spot, you know,

45
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: and and some teams there might be a really good

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: edge rusher or you know, a really good inside person,

47
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: but they got everybody, so definitely a good group. Gonna

48
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: be a big challenge for the offensive line, and obviously

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: just operating within the system of our offense.

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: To deal with all their usis. Yeah. I try not

51
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: to focus on that.

52
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: I think what I try to do is just instill

53
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: confidence in each guy and let them know that I

54
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: trust them, and whether they're young rookies or older players

55
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: that are hopping in there. I feel like it is hard,

56
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: you know, when there's a lot of different guys up

57
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: there with injuries and things. But at the end of

58
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: the day, we got to find ways to make it

59
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: work and really just whether that's getting the ball on

60
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: time or you know, taking a couple of deep shots

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: or moving the pocket, whatever we have to do to

62
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: help them. But they're doing a good job overall. I

63
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: feel like the group has really like come together really well,

64
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: and David's done a good job holding everybody together and

65
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: making sure that they're learning, and James Ferrence too, like

66
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: just helping them out and showing them what they see

67
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: on film.

68
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: How much you guys can be long but that limited

69
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: the changes? Is it limited? How much you can do?

70
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say, like, like we talked about, the injuries,

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: is tough, right, So sometimes each game you go in

72
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: and you have a plan and maybe something changes during

73
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: the game because of something you see.

74
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's necessarily that.

75
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: I think it's just each game is different, and sometimes

76
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a plan and you're gonna stick with it,

77
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: and sometimes maybe they do something and change it a

78
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: little bit. So there's two types of game plans.

79
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 4: How difful be very good college to ignore the noise

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: that nat Twitter guy.

81
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't really do that stuff, And I

82
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: just try to focus on the guys in the locker

83
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: room because a lot of like I say, they're they're

84
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: my friends, they're my teammates, and as long as we're together,

85
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: then we should all be together. And I feel like

86
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: that's what's happening and that's important and to work through

87
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: tough times shows a lot about people's character and who

88
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: they are, and I feel like we have the right

89
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: group to do it, So definitely want to, you know,

90
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: face the challenge and look at it in the eyes

91
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: and attack it. It sounds like he's doing better now,

92
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: But was it scary for you to see what happened

93
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: to to Damian the other night as a former teammate.

94
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I did see that, texted him and sounds

95
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: like he's doing good. So Damien's definitely one of my

96
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: good friends. And he's a great football player and has

97
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: played a lot of plays in this league and for

98
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: us as the Patriots, so I have a lot of

99
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: respect for him and his family and everybody.

100
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Mackett.

101
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: Seems like the quick game was a pretty big part

102
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: of what sparked the offense in the second half. But

103
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: how do you balance like being able to lean on

104
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: that without becoming predictable and putting yourself in a position

105
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: where the defenders are putting their hands up or jumping bouts.

106
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, each defense will defend it differently, but

107
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 3: like you said, it could be hands up, it could

108
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 3: be dropping more guys in the covers or blitzing more.

109
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: So it kind of just depends. But that's a part

110
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: of every offense. And I put it in the short

111
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: quick game category. And then there's the medium passes from

112
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: play action and then maybe the deep passes which can

113
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: come from play action or drop back. So there's kind

114
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: of different categories and I definitely feel like that's a

115
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: bucket that we want to continue to grow in. And

116
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: then all also the other things as well. It's the

117
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: other types of plays, play action and all that stuff too.

118
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Deadline coming up. Is there any concern for you are

119
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: getting treated or about about your teammates getting treated.

120
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: I'm not focused on that right now, honestly, just really

121
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: focusing on, like I said, coming together as a team

122
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: during tough times and seeing how we respond, seeing how

123
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 3: I respond, and definitely excited for the challenge and looking

124
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 3: at it in the eyes and taking ahead on.

125
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: There are struggles. How do you balance between sticking with

126
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: your routine and trying to change things up in order to.

127
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: Do Yeah, sure, yeah, I think that's That's one of

128
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: the tough things in sports in life, right. It's like,

129
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: am I doing something so wrong that we're just missing

130
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: it or whatever? And a lot of the times you

131
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 3: really do have to trust what you know, trust your routine.

132
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: And that's what really good people do. They just stick

133
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: with it and maybe adjust them in here or there,

134
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: but at the end of the day, they're gonna stick

135
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: to their routine. And like we talked about, the results

136
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: will come if you just focus on what we're supposed

137
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 3: to do. Like ninety nine percent of the time.

138
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Have you stuck with your routine or you Yeah, I have.

139
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: I've I've stuck with it.

140
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: I've taken advice from people and maybe tweak something here

141
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: or there, but for the most part, That's what I've done,

142
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 3: you know, going back to when I was playing when

143
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: I was little, So just sticking to my routine and

144
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: adding things that I can add questions.

145
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 4: He was brought up the sweet and he started.

146
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: To get back up on Sunday close of this season,

147
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: and oh, was it like having been kind of on

148
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: the side not.

149
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Leak's a good player definitely, you know, very

150
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: athletic and can make plays. So he's been a great

151
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: addition in the locker room too. Like just enjoy having

152
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: conversations with them, and he keeps it fun and all that.

153
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: So I really enjoy him and I feel like he's

154
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: he's done a good job.

155
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: Communication last week very as well as you know, I

156
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: haven't done that year the past couple of years, you know,

157
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: communicated well with your teammates this week, thinking about communicating

158
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 4: with fans about yourself, speaking to your recruits lives, and
