1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Hey Tom Brady, good morning. What's up? Gee? Man, how 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: are you doing. I'm doing great? How are you? I'm good? 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm good. Nice, nice and warm down there yesterday, man, 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: I was I was as hot a game as I 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: can ever remember that. I think it was like one 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: hundred and three index or something like that. So that 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: was pretty intense. But our team fought through it. Our 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: defense played incredible and uh, you know, it's good to 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: go down there and win. And we said after the game, 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: division opponents on the road, are you know, our big 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: games to win? And uh, that's been a tough place 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: for us historically to win. So to win the way 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: we did was pretty cool, very special day. Were there 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: any actual Dolphins fans there? I mean I saw a 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: lot of Patriots fans. Were there any Dolphins fans there? 16 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: It was mostly a Patriot crowd, so it was it 17 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 1: was pretty sweet. Yeah, they they they didn't have as 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: many as they typically have, but you know, it was 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: great to have the support down there. Um, this defense. 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: You brought up the defense. They have not allowed a 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: touchdown since the AFC title game. What do you think 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: makes them so good this year? Though? Yeah, it's pretty amazing. 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: What they've done, you know, and I've gone against those 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: guys every day in practice, all training camps, so you know, 25 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: it's very challenging because they have well, they have great 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: players at all levels of the defense and they can rush. 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: They've got great linebackers as you saw yesterday, and you 28 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: know our secondary is talented. They've been experienced, and you know, 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: all those coaches getting ready to play and there's a 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: lot of versatility. So I just think the thing is, 31 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: is any defense that we play, I know they're good 32 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: when you got to earn every single yard. There's no 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: free yards out there. You know, there's very rarely guys 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: running open with much space, and they're just doing it 35 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: before basically be perfect, which is you know, a very 36 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: hard thing to be on a consistent basis. You know, 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: twenty years into this thing and they still can't stop 38 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: the QB sneak things too. So I mean I'm trying to, 39 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, find the path the least resistance. So um, 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, we we we we got it down there. 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: We got a lot of options down there, so you know, 42 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to try to do what they're not defending. 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: And it was good to get one in so that's 44 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: always a highlight for me. I usually if I had 45 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: to go very far, I gotta fall forward about six inches. 46 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: So if I can't do that, then we got a problem. 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. We get nervous though, as fans, we 48 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: get nervous. We see it. We get actually get nervous 49 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: when when we see you out there late, late in 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: a game like that. I mean, does it ever I 51 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: know you're a competitor and you want to be out 52 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: there all the time, but if you're I mean, do 53 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: you ever think about being up thirty and and and 54 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: maybe uh, maybe sitting it out a little bit now? 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about sixty minutes of football because 56 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: you know the history down there, and um, you know 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: last year, like we said, it took all sixty minutes 58 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: and we enclose it out. And I think we talked 59 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: all week about being a sixty minute game. So that 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: was just a good way to finish. We scored on offense, 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: got an interception on defense, and you know all this 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: earlier in the year. I mean, it's we're trying to improve. 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: We're trying to you know, I wouldn't say we're in 64 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: mid season form. We're we still had a lot of 65 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: work to improve. So the more reps we get, you know, 66 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: the better it is for all of us. And you know, 67 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: we've got we got a lot of football to go. 68 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: So this is, uh, this is the early stages of 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: the season and we're out there to play football. That's 70 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: what my job is and I'm gonna go out there 71 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: and try to do it. What did you see out 72 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: of a b yesterday? Tom? I mean, he was he. 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: I thought he did a great job. You know, it's 74 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: to come in on a short week and then to 75 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: to um, you know, established a role for himself. I mean, 76 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: it's it's easy to see why he's been in all 77 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: pro M. You know, just having one game under you know, 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: our belt together. Um, there's a lot of things I learned. 79 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: And you know, he made a great catch on a touchdown. 80 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: He got us going early in the game, and you know, 81 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: he did a great job. So I thought all the 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: receivers played really well. Jewels. The nice part was we 83 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: spread it around to a lot of different guys and 84 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: we saw a lot of you know, varieties of different 85 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: coverages and looks, and I think that's the way it's 86 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: going to go all season. So whose ever numbers call, 87 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: it's going to have to make the play. And you 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: know A b made a bunch of them early, and 89 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: then you know Sony had a bunch of carries. Um, 90 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: James got a few plays, Jewels played great like always, 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: Filmmate Gray had a huge third down play, Josh made 92 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: some plays. So, um, you know, good offense is just 93 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 1: about spreading the ball around and going to keep trying 94 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: to figure out how to move it down to score 95 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: some point. When Boomer was on a little while ago, 96 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: I said to him that I felt like watching that 97 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: you looked frustrated of a few times sitting on the 98 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: bench where there were there times yesterday where you were frustrated, 99 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: whether it was with yourself or with the offense. No, 100 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: not at all. I was just hot and I was 101 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: just trying to not burn any energy whatsoever. And we're 102 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: sitting right in the sun. So it was just a 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: I think I was just tired. It was just it 104 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: was just a very exhaustive day. I know, you really 105 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: get I think there was a piece in the Athletic 106 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: that Nick was telling me about earlier that you get 107 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: concerned about the swamp ass when it comes to your center. 108 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: Was I mean, was everything okay, yesterday with regard to that, 109 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: but we're a pretty good shape. We're in a pretty 110 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: good shape. It's it's a very unique article that I 111 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: was asked about. So it was it's actually, yeah, not 112 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: always to like the best thing to think about or 113 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: to have fun with, but um, I mean, yeah, we 114 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: go to we go to to pretty good lengths to 115 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 1: keep you know, the centers from just you know, sweating 116 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: all over the ball and the hands and their hands, 117 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: and so I mean you do, yes, we can do yesterday. 118 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: It's pretty tough. I mean from an innovation point of view, 119 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: I think you suggested the towel uh placed down in 120 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: that area As far as a solution. Yeah, it's kind 121 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: of like a wrist band for your you know, a 122 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: wrist band for your for your butt. You know. It's 123 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: the sweat and ye and then we swap it out 124 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: and put some baby powder down there to try to 125 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, dry out some of the sweats. So it 126 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: actually works really well. And I'm surprised more people don't 127 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: do it because so many quarterbacks to me, you know, 128 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: what do you do? It's so hard, you know, And 129 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: I dealt with the lat in college, and uh, you know, 130 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: all my centers sweated. Oh it's terrible and uh yeah, 131 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: but the sweat would just splash in your face, you 132 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: know when you think when you take the hand out. 133 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I know, so you're surprised more people don't do it 134 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: on but I think every man in New England now 135 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: is going to start doing this just as a trend, 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: even if they're not a professional athlete. Just try it 137 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: out the weekend, to just try it out. It might work. 138 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: It's gross. It's like that scene from Along Came Paully 139 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: when Ben Stiller bangs into the guy that's sweating you're 140 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: playing basketball. Yeah, I know, that's exactly what it's like. 141 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: And we're out there. I mean everyone yesterday was just 142 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: completely sweated through everything they had, so it was that's 143 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: just one of these you can't avoid that. That's hot 144 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: for the people in the stands. And we got a 145 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: lot of football pat long, so it's it's those are 146 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: tough conditions and honestly, over the years we haven't played 147 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: very well down there. I don't know what our record is, 148 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: but I think there's probably more losses than wins. But 149 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: they've got a great home field advantage playing in that heat. 150 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: Is because they're playing it every day, and you know, 151 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: for us to go down there and win like that was, 152 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, we haven't We've only done that one other time, 153 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: I think in two thousand and seven, but we got 154 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: shut out down there and I think two thousand and six, 155 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: and uh, it's just a it's just a tough place 156 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: to play. Do you ever feel like you guys are 157 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: running up the score or does that not into your 158 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: mind at all? Now? Not at all? I mean that's 159 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: not no. I mean we're trying to you know, we're 160 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,559 Speaker 1: trying to improve. And you know, I wouldn't say everything 161 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: was perfect yesterday. We could be certainly a lot better 162 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: in a lot of areas on offense. Um our defense 163 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: again is playing great. They're giving us a lot of opportunity. 164 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they have foreign receptions yesterday, that's incredible. And 165 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: you know we got great fuel position. You know, we're 166 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: still some more opportunity in the red area we didn't 167 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: take advantage of. So, like I said, we're gonna our jobs, 168 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: go out there and play football and score points. It's 169 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: not to you know, do anything less than move the 170 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: ball down the field. And you know, they don't put 171 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: us out there to run three plays and punt. We're 172 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: supposed to go down there and make make things happen. 173 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: So again, it feels good to finish the game the 174 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: way we did, just because you know, you want to 175 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: see how you are at the end. And there's going 176 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: to be plenty of critical times at the end of 177 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: these games coming up where we're going to need to 178 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: be at our best at the end, and you know, 179 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: that's just good conditioning and good training for us. So 180 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: that's that's what our job is. Tom. The defense has 181 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: been playing outrageously well, only six points over the last 182 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: three games you guys have played, and Jamie Collins has 183 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: been voted the Need Him Bank Player of the Game. 184 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: What's it been like having Jamie back for a second 185 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: tour of duty with the Patriots, like the way Chung 186 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: came back and seemed to discover a whole new kind 187 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: of game. Yeah, it's been great, and he's been you know, 188 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: he's such a versatile player, you know, covering backs, covering 189 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: tight ends, rushing the quarterback, intercepting past his plans own defense. 190 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he's a great player experience, he's 191 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: a great athlete, and you know, he just keeps making 192 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: plays out there. So you know, between him and Dante 193 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: and and kind of the NOI Juan Ventley. Um, I mean, 194 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: there's just we have good linebackers and they just make 195 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: it hard. Anytime you have good players at that level 196 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: of defense, you know, it's just extremely hard to move 197 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. It just you know, they 198 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: cover so much ground and these range's long and uh, 199 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a real position of strength 200 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: for us. So I'm happy to see Jamie back. I mean, 201 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: I gotta you know, I've always loved my time with Jamie. 202 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: I got a great relationship with him, and it's great 203 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: to see him, you know, enjoying it so much and 204 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: you know, loving being out there and just making play 205 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: after play. When a guy like Stephen Guskowski is struggling 206 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: like he is, is there anything you can say to 207 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 1: him as a you know, as a leader, as a 208 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: as a veteran, or is it that's something that he 209 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: kind of has to work out on his own? Now 210 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: you know these are He's fine. You know, he's gonna 211 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: you know, every person you know misses a throw or 212 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: missing the attack or missing a kick. So he's very 213 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: mentally tough. And you know, I kicked the game winner 214 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: in the super role. He's got a lot of confidence 215 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: in himself and you know he's he's just I've been 216 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,599 Speaker 1: around it for a long time. So um, you know, 217 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: he'll just keep trying hard like he always does. And 218 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: he had a great game against Pittsburgh. And we all 219 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: want every game to be perfect, but you know this 220 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: is a game of skill, and you know it's hard 221 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: to do and and you know every day is not 222 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: going to be your best day. So that's just a 223 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: way football is quarterback Question of the week. And it 224 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: looks like Sam Donald will likely miss the game on Sunday. 225 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: When you guys play the Jets with Mono? Have you 226 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: ever been close to missing a game Tom with an illness? Uh? 227 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: Never with Never with an illness. I've been close plenty 228 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: of other times with you know, a myriad of different issues. 229 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: But I missed those games in twenty sixteen. I missed 230 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 1: the games in two thousand and eight. Um, but I 231 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: think that's pretty much it. Never never, you know, just 232 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: the flu or anything like that. Have you had mono 233 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: or I mean, should we be worried? Have you already 234 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: had it? I don't. I don't think you can get 235 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: it again. I think it's very very rare. It's one 236 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: and done. Yes, really, I think it's pretty rare in 237 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: and of itself. So um yeah, I've never had it. 238 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: I hear it's pretty actually pretty awful. How lethargic you 239 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: are and so forth. So hopefully he gets back to 240 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: help pretty soon. Um. Time for the Foxborough fanboy question 241 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: of the week from Nick Nick What you got? Good morning, Tom? 242 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: How are we doing? What's up? Nick? Man? Were you excited? Yester? 243 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Kidding me? Man? Seven? The score is seventy six to 244 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: six Patriots on the season, and I think you guys 245 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: are trending upwards. I got, I got good feelings for you, 246 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: my man. Um good, I will keep it going. Yeah yeah. Um. 247 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: So my question for you this week um pertains to 248 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: social media. Comedian Craig Ferguson said, I think these are 249 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: great rules. He said. My rules for social media are this? 250 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Does this need to be said right now? Does it 251 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: need to be said by me? And I know you're 252 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: big on social media now you're on ig you joined 253 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: Twitter recently. What are the kind of rules that you keep? 254 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: Do you do you check social media when you're practicing? 255 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: You know, how often do you use it because you 256 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: know everyone else is addicted to it. I'm just curious 257 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: kind of what kind of rules you keep for social media, 258 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: because you're obviously a very active guy. I don't know 259 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: if it's rules, but it's just I think there's a 260 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: specific point of view, and you know, I think I 261 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: try to make mine a reflection of who I am 262 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: and what I care about. So I feel like I 263 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: have a you know, as a i'll say, the public figure. 264 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: You know, there is a responsibility to you know, try 265 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: to do the right thing. And I you know, it's 266 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: life is challenging. I mean, I don't think anybody's perfect, 267 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: and I think it's a little unfortunate in the world today. 268 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: You know, people the expectations are perfection for people, and 269 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: then when we're less than that, you know, there's so 270 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: much you know, blame and shame. And I think that's 271 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: a hard thing about our culture today is that you know, 272 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: we're almost asking people to be inhuman um, you know, 273 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: and you can't have you know, there's there's nothing you 274 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: can do without you know, the utmost scrutiny. And then 275 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: you know everyone wants to just see everyone, you know, 276 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: raped over the coals and it's I think that part 277 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: is really challenging as a parent for your kids, you know, 278 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: because you know, when you're parenting your kids, you're just 279 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: trying to you know, you're trying to teach them, but 280 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: you realize that people learn from mistakes, and you know 281 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: it just as a society today, I don't think we're 282 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: I think we're just you know, it's a very challenging time. 283 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: So you know, from my standpoint on social media, it's 284 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: just about trying to pass on or convey messages that 285 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: I feel are, you know, either fun or um, you know, 286 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: something inspiring. I'm a very positive person and I try 287 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: to keep my my social media that way because that's 288 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: that's my point of view, and um you know, that's 289 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: that's how I choose to, you know, go through life. 290 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask this time, and I know I'm 291 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: going to get the patriot answer, but I'm just going 292 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: to ask you to deep, reach deep inside yourself and 293 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: just and just just give me an answer on this. 294 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: Do you do you care at all about a perfect season? 295 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: Is that ever on your mind at all? No? And 296 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: you know I'll tell you why, because that's I think 297 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: if you look at our team over a long time, 298 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think we you know, you to think 299 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: about something that's going to happen two weeks from now 300 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: or three weeks from now or five weeks from now 301 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: is irrelevant. You'll have plenty of time to think about 302 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: those when that's a real reality. I mean, that's so 303 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: far from what a reality is. You know, you're not 304 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: going to live your life going through hypothetical situations. And 305 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: I think what you try to do is you just you. 306 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: You think about the process, and the results are what 307 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: they are. So if the process is good, you know, 308 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: and I think through many years of practice and preparation, 309 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: we've you know, our program is centered around you know, 310 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: winning culture or winning environment, and we're trying to do 311 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: the best you know, we can do to to to 312 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, make that process efficient, which helps us prepare, 313 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, gives us good competitive stamina. It's all about teamwork, 314 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: and then we go out there and we play and 315 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: if we win, we win, great, we're going to get 316 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: back to it, and if we lose, we evaluate what 317 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: we need to do better, and then we get back 318 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: to our process. So I'm not thinking about anything more 319 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: than three now, because that's the only thing that matters. 320 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: That's what we got this week today. Wake up, you know, 321 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about the Jets and how I can 322 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, how they're going to attack us and how 323 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: we need to attack them. And it's going to Eban 324 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: flo over the course of the whole season. So um, 325 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: there's a there's big challenges ahead and to take your 326 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: eye off what's really important is that the service to 327 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: the team, and you know we're not doing that. And 328 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: what about comparing this team to other teams? Like you 329 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: are you? Do you ever? You know, do you wake 330 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: up this morning and go, wow, this you know this 331 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: may be one of the better teams that we've ever had, 332 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: or do you or do you just not allow that 333 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: into your head at all? Well, it's only been two games, 334 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: so I mean through two games we're playing well. But 335 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: that's you know, one eighth, one eighth of the season. 336 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: So how are we going to do in the next 337 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: eighth of the season. You know, That's that's where our 338 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: head that And we've been doing a good job of 339 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: taking care of the ball, penalties, field position, turnovers. Um, 340 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: what we haven't done a great job of is you know, 341 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: as many points in the red areas we've needed, and 342 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: you know, we've got to keep spreading the ball around, 343 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, continue to improve our run game. So there's 344 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things we need to do here going 345 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: in the next week. But we're going to be challenging 346 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways, and there's some great teams 347 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: out there, as you guys see, and the competition's tough. 348 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: So um, you know, that's that's where we're at. Well, 349 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: it's National Guacamole Day, so maybe a cheat day for you, 350 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: maybe some nachos later on or is it? Um?
