1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Good. How are you the last couple of years we

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: revolved last year I know finally yes, sir, yes, sir.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: How does it feel? I mean streaming back and in

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: general feels great? I mean yeah, good, good to be back.

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: And you know it's always um good to get back

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: to the fundamentals. You know, it's coming back clean slate.

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: We got to put in the work. It put the

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: work in and uh gail together as a team. So

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: we're starting to do that the fundamentals. That was one

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: of the things to Can said in the spring. What

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: you thought was looking back on last year, really had

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: to get back what I think every year, whether you

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: did good or did bad, you got to go back

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: see what you need to improve on, see what your

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: strengths were. Um, don't overlook those as well to keep

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: those sharp. But um yeah, I go back to the

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: the basics and and work on those weaknesses that you

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: saw so individually, I'm just gonna look at what I

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: need to get better and put in the work every

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: day to make those better. Nice deal for your puncher.

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: This morning's Jake's been great. I mean a professional comes

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: out and does what he needs to do. UM. Happy

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: to see him back. Like for der now oh man, Uh,

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, we always got to make the rookies do something.

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: So uh, I don't know if I'm gonna hold Jake

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: to dinner just yet, but always fun to have the

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: rookies in and uh welcome to the NFL's UM. As

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: far as Nicko's have been, like, what have you learned

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: about him? Maybe the last year or so you didn't know,

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: but just go over time to kind of it's great

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: to have Nick I mean just his veteran presence in

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the room. Um, the way he goes about his day.

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: That's that's what's so special about here is just to

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: come to work. You're never you're never too old to

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: learn something new, So trying to pick up from your teammates,

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: your coaches and apply it up. Just consistency, John Fossil,

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: that's got to be great. Too much of teams rams

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: and there's always been such an emphasis here play alongside.

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: One of the best to do it a matter when

40
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: you're recognized you swly missed very routine is probably to

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: work everything you have here when you know the special

42
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: teams on. I think it feels good, um to have

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: that emphasis and know the importance of that and how

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: that affects the game. You know, starting field positions huge.

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: So um really I've I've kind of approached that every

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: everywhere I've been in my career. It's an emphasis I

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: might come to work and try to make a difference

48
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: on this team to help the team win. I don't

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: feel about breaking this schools us your shadow that guys,

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: your kids who came into the league similarly un drafted

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: free agent. An opportunity to schooler has been great. But

52
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: I would say overall the rookie, whole rookie class have

53
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: really come in eager, scratching kalwan picking our brains and

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: uh wanted to get better. So that's what you want

55
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: to see from the rookie class. Masters. You know, I

56
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: want to game of science. You start at an early age. UM.

57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: I have an older older brother, Brent, He's three years

58
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: older than me, and we've always just been into computers

59
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: ever since. Um, you know, the old Hewlett packard and

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: dial up Internet and all that fun stuff. So I've

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: been I've been playing with computers in my whole life.

62
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: And like I said, I got my degree in that

63
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: information systems and a masters in data science. Um, so

64
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: ever since I've had kids in football, you know, it's

65
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: taken a back seat for sure. Um, keep the priorities

66
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the main thing. But uh, it's always been a fun

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: hobby of mine. And to get that to use that

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: tool and use it for a community service has been amazing.

69
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: Three signs, six, four and two Yes sir, we're busy,

70
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: Yes sir. So yeah, season information systems as well down

71
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: in Texas for the bost kids. So it kind of

72
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: started two years ago or I guess yeah, whenever COVID started. Um,

73
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: I was just trying to look where can we give back,

74
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: where can we get face to face with the community,

75
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: And now that everything's shut down, especially in hospitals where

76
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: you're used to having volunteers come in and all these

77
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: programs and kind of got shut down. So we're just

78
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: kind of brainstorm and ideas how can we give back

79
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: and how can we get connected? And like you said,

80
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: my interest with computers and gamings kind of merged with

81
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: the online zoom community. Um, you know how everybody got

82
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: educated and that pretty quickly, and and came up with

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Cody's gamers. So try and try and do once a

84
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: month with Boston Children's Hospital, Game with a kid and

85
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: then have a big event with uh either Foster's kids

86
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: or hopefully we'll have another big event here soon. They're

87
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: at Helix here in Patriot Place. Oh the Dad Gaming, Yes, Uh,

88
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: just a community we got involved with online. My brother

89
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: and I um just playing Rocket League in the offseason,

90
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: so uh, it was just a really fun, positive gaming

91
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: community and we wanted to get involved and that that

92
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of led to some more of their charity things

93
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: teammates and thankfully I've kind of kept it on the download.

94
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: The only thing they give me a hard time about

95
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: is I have Android phone. You know, I'm kind of

96
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: one of a kind there, so they give me a

97
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: hard time about that. Thank you, pretty su
