00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: UM, so I know there's a lot of interest, you know,

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: kind of going on with my health and things that

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: happened last year. Uh, you know, it was definitely an

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: interesting situation. UM. I'm very fortunate that I am able

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: to continue playing this game. UM. You know, I'm very

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: appreciative for all the support I received, you know, for

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: my family, my friends, UM, you know, my wife, but

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: you know, really the organization and the whole from the

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Craft family down to Coach Belichick to you know, Josh

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Scar you know, all the coaches, um, and then you know,

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: obviously all the doctors, our medical staff, you know, stringing staff,

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: continuously working with me. Uh you know the doctors I

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: had to deal with, you know, uh, the time they

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: spent with me, the questions, a lot of phone calls, uh,

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: you know, our team doctors. So you know, I'm very

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: appreciative for all that appreciative that I was able to

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, as mostly y'all know saw me around the

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: building last year, and uh, you know, there was some

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, how I was trying to contribute

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, do whatever I could to help

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: the football team. Uh you know, but now that's kind

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: of in the past. I've kind of said what I

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: wanted to say on that. Uh, you know, and I'm

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: just really looking forward to moving forward and get back

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: to being a football player again. Uh. I'm really excited

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: to get back out there whenever we can. So our

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: first question be Mike, Jerry David. Great to see you,

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Great to hear you. Um, I'm I'm curious if it's

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: a two part, if there are any restrictions for you

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: going forward, and what the doctors have told you about

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: the potential of a recurrence. You know, I'm not really

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: sure about, you know, if there's a real restriction on anything.

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: I haven't been told that. You know, part of it

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: was the medicine I was on, and you know I'm

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: off that medicine. So you know, I can go about

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: living my normal life. And you know, the reoccurrence thing,

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's something unfortunately they can't really pin down. Um,

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, so I'm just gonna go about my life,

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: keep playing this game and doing what I can, stay

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: as healthy as I can. And um, I think it

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: was just kind of a freak accident thing. Thank you.

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Next question Jim McBride, followed by Greg Vadard. I did

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: and I know last year must have been frustrated at

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: the uncertainty. I'm wondering what was it like for you

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: when you were told that you could return to playing football.

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: How much relief was that and and you know how

47
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: that day was. I mean it's great, you know, I

48
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: mean that's what I want to do. I came here

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: to play football, and not being out there. You know,

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: anybody that's hurt not being out there, even as just

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: for a week or you know, whatever it may be,

52
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: is tough on an athlete. We want to compete, we

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: want to be out there, and so when you can't

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: do that, it's obviously frustrating. It tough. Um, So you know,

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: it was great to finally get that. You know, like

56
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I said, I just want to move forward now and

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: you know, look forward to you know, twenty twenty. Hey

58
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: David M. Greg dar By Mark Daniels, Hey, David, A

59
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: couple of questions. Um. Number one, can you sort of

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you just called it an accident or basically

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: an accident. What happened as far as your health? Um,

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: can you explain to us, like exactly what was the

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: root cause of it that maybe makes you think that

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: this is not going to happen again. And the other

65
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: thing I had a question is are you restricted at

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: all as far as altitude games things like that? And

67
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: it has anything like that been talked about? Yeah, I've

68
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: kind of set my piece on what I wanted to

69
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: say about that. Yeah, I don't necessarily feel like all

70
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: my medical information needs to be out there. So you know,

71
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: we've got a great medical staff. We have great doctors.

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: You know, I have some great doctors I've worked with.

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm clear to play football. I want

74
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: to move forward with that and talk about you know,

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: football coming forward. You know, what happened, happened. Um. You know,

76
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: you can't live your life and fear if it's going

77
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: to happen again or not. You know, it's a violent

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: game and things happen, and you know, people, there's a

79
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: lot of things that happen. So you know, that's just life.

80
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: And so you know, I just want to move forward

81
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: through that. Um. And like I said, I kind of

82
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: said what I wanted to say. All my injury and

83
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: you know what I dealt with Mark Daniels, followed by

84
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Mike Petravit, Stacy David. Would you would you say that

85
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: the situation changed? It changed? You it all. Do you

86
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: have a different nabe El look on life on football

87
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: after just going through everything? I mean I think you know,

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: anytime you are you've missed a season, you know, and

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: unfortunately you know that happens every year to guys through injuries. Um,

90
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, it makes you take a step back and

91
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: uh you know, miss and enjoy the grind a little bit. Um.

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: You know, I still came into work every day, but

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't out there competing with the guys. I wasn't

94
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: out there working with uh you know, and you missed that,

95
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: You missed that part of it, you miss Uh you know,

96
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: it makes you appreciative. Uh you know, you know of

97
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: the times you know, and you know that's tough. So

98
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: uh you know, you definitely appreciative you get to do

99
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: what you want to do. Uh you know sometimes I

100
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: think we take you know, health and things like that

101
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: for granted. Um you know, so it definitely makes you appreciative,

102
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it also kind of allowed me

103
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: to look at the offense in a hole and pick

104
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: up some new things. You know, where I wasn't really

105
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: focused on a game plan each week. I kind of

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: got to look at it for a big picture. You know,

107
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: it's such a such a grind, and it's such a

108
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: rush from playing on Sundays to getting the film corrected

109
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: and then moving forward to the next team, and you

110
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: know you've got a short week or you know, things

111
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: like that. So you know, it's just a jumping around

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: of a season, and you know, to be able to

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: just kind of take a step back and look at

114
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: the game at a hole and uh, you know, kind

115
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: of watch NFL football from a different perspective. You know,

116
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: there was definitely some good things about it, and you know,

117
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: some fun things, but like I said, as a competitor

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: guy who wants to play football, it sucks not being

119
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: out there. Thank you, Mike Pete follow by Dan Roche,

120
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Stacy, thank you very much for doing this. David,

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: I trust you're doing well and you and your family

122
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: are doing well. You're welcome. I wanted to ask you

123
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: about two people who obviously had a big impact on

124
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: your pro career who won't be there next year, Dante

125
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: Scarnecki and Tom Brady. We reflect on what both of

126
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: those guys have meant to your career. Yeah, it's it's

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: always tough. This is a tough business, um, because there's

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: always turnover, you know, and it's been you know, kind

129
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: of learned that very quickly in my NFO you know,

130
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: you know life, and that was you know, we had

131
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: uh you know, Dave coach Googe was our first, my

132
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: nfball coach and that was my first coaching change and

133
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: my pretty much whole life of football. So that was

134
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: a different change. And then you know, um, you know,

135
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: every year it's kind of been somebody changing and someone leaving.

136
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: Adam players and you know, different coach has been pretty

137
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: fortunate on the offensive side of the ball to have

138
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the same coaches, but uh, you know,

139
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: it's just part of the business. Uh. You know, Scar

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: has been so much to me. He taught me so much. Um,

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, it still means a lot to me and uh,

142
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, thankful for It's kind of weird saying it now,

143
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: but I guess a friendship that we have, um, you know,

144
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: so Scar, Scar will always be around, and you know

145
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: he's someone that you know, that relationship extends more than

146
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: football and uh, you know, just to get the chance

147
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: to play with a coach like that is uh, you know,

148
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: unreal experience. And then you know, obviously Tommy is who

149
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Tommy is, and uh, you know what a great experience

150
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: it was to get to play you know with him,

151
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, appreciative of him and you know

152
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: our friendship that we have. You know, it was kind

153
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: of the longest quarterback I've ever played with in any

154
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: of the stages of my football career. So, um, you know,

155
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: it's always a special bond. And while we're making friends

156
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: for life, Okay, Dan Roochs followed by Mike Greeks David

157
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: kind of along those lines. Two part question, how how

158
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: different will be to have the center quarterback combination, how

159
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: much well we have to work on that going forward

160
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: when you guys eventually get back. But also how much

161
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: do you do you even pay attention to the fact

162
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: that maybe some people are already writing you guys off

163
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: because of the departures that you've had starting the time. No,

164
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean I'm pretty fortunate, you know, worked plenty of

165
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: with Brian Hoyer, uh, you know, and had a lot

166
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: of experience with Brian, he's been around for a while. Um,

167
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: and then I haven't went all our spring with Jared

168
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: you know, you know, six weeks of training camp or

169
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: whatever I made it as in training camp to get

170
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: to work with him at times. So yeah, you know,

171
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: there's always a new challenge in the NFL. UM. You know,

172
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: whether it was coming in my rookie after my rookie

173
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: year and you know, having Joe Tuoney played for me, um,

174
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: or you know years later, you know Trent Brown next up.

175
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's always a new challenge us. Just part

176
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: of this business, part of this league. Um, all the

177
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: stuff about whatever anyone wants to say. You know, everyone

178
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: has an opinion. Uh, you know, all we can do

179
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: is go out there control week control. Uh you know

180
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: it started, you know, past week or so when however

181
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: long it's been of the off season program. And yeah,

182
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of in the same boat here. So control,

183
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: weekend control, make the most out of each day and uh,

184
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of put your head down and look

185
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: up where you are lateran steer, right, David, how are

186
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: you doing great? How are you? Mike good? Good to

187
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: see I see at the lid on. You never miss

188
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity for the holm mater, right, No, not at all.

189
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: So there you go. Um, As I took a sweatshirt

190
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: off so I didn't want to double it up too much.

191
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: There you go. I like it. Um as one of

192
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: the leaders on the team, Like how much have you

193
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: been able to get a sense of how all the

194
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: leaders are leading as you guys transition? You know, you

195
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: you talked about moving on from one of the most

196
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: iconic players in the league. You know, like how is

197
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: that going? Yeah? I think you don't do anything out

198
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: of the ordinary, you know, I think leadership sometimes can

199
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: be you can kind of see through it if there's

200
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: some bs in it. Uh, you know, be who you are,

201
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: You'll do what got you here. Um, just do it

202
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: better and do it more, you know, I saw I

203
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: think you know, it's just it is what it is

204
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: being in the NFL as part of this business. So um,

205
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you have to you know,

206
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: there doesn't need to be a superman anywhere. Uh, you know,

207
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: we just need to go out there and do our

208
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: jobs as collectively as a group. Uh, you know, provide

209
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: good leadership. You know. You know, even if he was here,

210
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't here whoever is here. So that's our job

211
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: and that's what we'll try to do. Thank you. Next

212

Speaker 1: year for you. You were sitting out, you were on

216
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: injured reserve. And right now there's a lot of influx

217
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: with the NFL. Camps may get delayed, the season may

218
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: get delayed considering what the country's going through right now

219
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: and what the NFL may be going through moving forward.

220

Speaker 1: back in an added appreciation for being in the facility

224

225

00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: it right now. Um. You know, just like I said,

Speaker 1: way we can. Uh, you know, that's you know, always fun.

236
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of by the end of the season, everyone's

237
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of sick of each other and everyone needs a break.

238
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: And then you know, it's kind of like the first

239
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,400

Speaker 1: just is what it is, and we'll take it one

244
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: day at the time. Next question will be so see

245
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: if I can find him here, go ahead, Bob, all right,

246
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Stacy, David, good to see and talk to you again.

247
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Regarding Ian's question, in this uncertain time,

248
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: with you guys doing things virtually, how are you physically

249
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: preparing yourself for the coming season? And then beyond that,

250
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: related to Mike's question, have you been able to connect

251
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: with some of your younger teammates obviously some new guys

252
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: and through the draft coming into the offensive line for example,

253
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: and others as well acquired during the off season. Yeah,

254
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know how the off season would usually work.

255
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be doing really football drills right now anyway,

256
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: we'd just be kind of working out and meeting, So

257
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: there's really nothing that and h you from doing that

258
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: that much. You know, we've got there's turf fields and

259
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: grass fields out and you know, get out in your

260
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: yard and you know, run and do some drills on air. Um,

261
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, the way the off seasons set up, that's

262
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: kind of what we'd be doing right now anyway. So

263
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, um, no reason you can't go do that,

264
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, and guys are being creative finding ways to work. Uh,

265
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's in your garage or whatever it

266
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: may be. So uh, you know, you gotta take it

267
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: one day at a time. And you know, it's kind

268
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: of everyone's in the same situation as us. It's not

269
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: like you know, um, every other place he's got you know,

270
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: just crazy you know, or that at the facilities he's

271
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: working out or anything like that. So everyone's kind of

272
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: in the same boat. Um. And then what was the

273
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: last part of that question, Bob, in terms of connecting

274
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: with some of the young teammates and to know the

275
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: new guys during this period, Yeah, you know, I haven't yet.

276
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: You know, well, they'll come in here soon. Uh. That's

277
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: kind of how it processes always. You know, there's bets

278
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: are backwork in a couple of days, and then to

279
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: reach out to them and talk to them once you know,

280
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: they get joined in here, so you know, let them

281
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: get you know, they got a lot of loosens high

282
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: up and getting ready to go here and um, you know,

283
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: so we'll see them soon. Great, Thank you, And I've

284
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: got a lot more questions here, but I'm going to

285
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: wrap it up with two final questions. We'll go Phil

286
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: Perry and Janni Crocketts ahead. Still, Thanks Stacy, and thanks

287
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: for doing this. David, wanted to ask you about one

288
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: of the guys that you mentioned a minute ago, Jared'stidham.

289
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: UM got a chance to work with him obviously before

290
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: last season, but I'm curious what your relationship is like.

291
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Haven't been around him at least last year when you

292
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: were in the building as often as you were, And

293
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: if he is given a significant role this year, how

294
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: do you feel like he would handle it based on

295
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: what you do know of them? Yeah, you know, Jared's

296
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: a great kid. Um. You know, I was still able

297
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: to um, you know, especially during the season at times

298
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: we'd hang out a lot and stuff, so um, you know,

299
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: try to you know, whatever quarterbacks in that room. I

300
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: try to build a bond with them, whether it's you know,

301
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: been Jimmy, Brian, you know, uh, Danny Atlin, you know,

302
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: whoever has been in there. You try to build a

303
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: bond because you know, it's obviously one play away from

304
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: anyone playing, and uh that's just the way it is.

305
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: So you know, I think, you know, I look back

306
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: on my rookie year and can remember, you know, the

307
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: growth I saw from my you know, rookie season to

308
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: my second year and how the game started to click

309
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: a littletle bit and make sense a little bit more. Um,

310
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, so that for all those players, you know,

311
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: it's just you know, a natural thing coming from that

312
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: first to second year. Um, your first year such a whirlwind.

313
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Uh you know, it's such a long year from going

314
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: from Bowl games to training to con Pro day. You know,

315
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: OTA's mini camps, all that training camp. It's just you know,

316
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,280

317
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: your first second year so huge. So uh, you know,

318
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: we're bringing great players. Coach Belichick brings in great football players,
