1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Hard questions. First, who's gonna win Michigan or Island Michigan. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: I don't think that was a hard question. Do you 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: like to go back in? I do? 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 2: I do? I. I love the old uh, the old 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: fashioned uniforms. That's that's one of my favorites. You see me, 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: I shouldn't even be in all of this red. But 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: you know, hopefully, hopefully the queues. 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: I understand. 9 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: Oh, Pap, is there anything you wanna clear up about. 10 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: The video that? Yeah? 11 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: Man, First of all, you know, I just wanna apologize 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: my teammates and the coaches, you know, for even having 13 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: to answer questions about that. And we got more important 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: things to worry about then, you know, me being caught 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: on the hot mic, you know. But you know, at 16 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: the end of the day, you know, we touringne We 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: got a top five pick in the in the draft 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: that didn't come via trade, and you know, we all 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: know the standard, we all know what's supposed to look like, 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: and it's not that right now. You know, that's not 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: no shot at anybody in the locker room. I said, 22 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: we you know, we own that. 23 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: I own that. 24 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: You know, we have good players, great players in the 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: locker room. But every team has great players. It's great 26 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 2: parody across the league. And if those great, good players 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: aren't executing, then you know that team isn't a good team. So, 28 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: you know, but that doesn't speak to the to the 29 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: character man we got in. 30 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: His locker room. 31 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: You know, we all come to work willing and ready 32 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: to do whatever we can to help this team win. 33 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: You know, the ball just hasn't been rolling in our favor, 34 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: and that's on no one but us. You know, the 35 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: coaches do a hell of a job weekend and week out, 36 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: the game plan, putting us in the right positions to 37 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: make the players, and when the opportunity comes, we just 38 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: don't do that at a consistent enough level, you know, 39 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: in all phases of the game. You know, we got 40 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: one of the best coaches you know, to have a coach, 41 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: and he comes in week after week tell us what 42 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: we have to do to win this game, who we 43 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: have to stop, how we have to go about business, 44 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: and time and time again, week after week it comes 45 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: up in the game exactly how he said it, and 46 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: you know, we don't capitalize on our opportunities, you know, 47 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: So it's frustrating, just like it's frustrating for all the guys. 48 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: You know, I'm a professional, so things like that should 49 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: never happen. You know, no need to you know, blame 50 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: anyone but myself. You know, it's my seventh year in 51 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: the league. I'm twenty eight years old. You know I 52 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: know better. You know I was a little frustration. I 53 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 2: know I'm smiling, but I was very very angry. That's 54 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: that's that's one that I wanted back the end of 55 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: the day. You know, we're not doing enough to get 56 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: it done right now, and we all know that. But 57 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: we got six more opportunities to go out there and 58 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 2: try to build momentum going in the next year. And 59 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: you know, who knows AFC is wide open right now. 60 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: You know, we take care of business how we're supposed 61 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: to take care of business. 62 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: Who knows. 63 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: But that only starts weekend, a week out, that starts 64 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: with the charges to Sunday. So you know, I just 65 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: want to apologize again, man, because I don't never want 66 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: to be a distraction. You know, we got enough things 67 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: to worry about around here. Try to be a guy 68 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: to go out there, you know, lead by example, you know, 69 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: play hard. 70 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Down and down out. 71 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: You know, But like I said, we all own that, 72 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: and you know, I want to be a part of 73 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: the solution. 74 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: So you know, it is what it is. 75 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: The guys in here, they know me, you know, you 76 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: know I speak my mind. 77 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: You know I'm honused. You know, it's just got corner 78 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: hot mic man's that's all that was. I didn't even 79 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: get a saquanty chance to. 80 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: Tell me, but uh, you know, I I don't think 81 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: it was right that they put that out because a 82 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: lot of things said on that football field when and 83 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: I know there's multiple people micd up game in and 84 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: game out that they don't put out. 85 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: So you know. 86 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: That was kind of I was kind of taken aback 87 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: by that. But at the end of the day, I 88 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: own that. I own everything I say, and you know 89 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: I'm not running from it. So you know this this Sunday, 90 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: you know, we got a chance to go out there 91 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: and you know, be momentum and get this bad taste 92 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: out of our mouth. 93 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: And that's what we're gonna do. 94 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: Is it something you have to address the team with 95 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: your teammates after Nah, they they know me, you know, 96 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: they know me.

And you know, when team's doing well, the 101 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: players get all the credit, and you know, they do 102 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: a great job coming in there weekend and we gott 103 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: giving us a great game plan. It's up to the 104 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: players to execute. As professionals, we get paid to produce. 105 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: We don't just get paid to play football. We get 106 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: paid to produce. None of us here is on scholarship. 107 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: And we know we have a job to do and 108 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: the standard is high here. You know, the type of 109 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: football that the people of New England are being a 110 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: custom see and shoot people anywhere custom seeing front of Patriots, 111 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: and you know we're not living up to that. 112 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: But we're working. You know, we're working. 113 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: Got six more weeks, you know, to to write this 114 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: ship and build some momentum. And that's what we're gonna do. 115 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: You mentioned Bill a few times just now, what is 116 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: your faith like because he's gotten a lot of the heat. 117 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: End the season. I don't like that. I don't like that. Man. 118 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 2: Bill is one of the best coaches I've ever had, 119 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: you know, one of the best coaches to have a 120 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: coach period, and like I said, we're not getting it 121 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: dumb for him. Weekend and week out. He comes in 122 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: here every week tells us what we have to do 123 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: to win this game. And when it comes up in 124 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: a game and we don't do it on every phase 125 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: of the game, is how can you blame Bill? You 126 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: know that's on us, you know what I mean. We 127 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: got to own that as players, and we do. You know, 128 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: we know we gotta do a better job of being consistent, 129 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: playing complimentary football. This is the ultimate team game. It's 130 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: not like basketball or one guy can truly take over 131 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: the game. Like one guy can impact the game for sure, 132 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: but he has to have help. A running back can't 133 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: rush for one hundred yards if his line isn't blocking. 134 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: Receiver can't go over. 135 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: One hundred yards if his quarterback isn't making good throws 136 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: in his line isn't blocking. And the quarterback can't throw 137 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: over three hundred yards if his line isn't blocking and 138 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: the receivers are making a place for him. And on defense, 139 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: God can't have three plus sacks unless the coverage is good, 140 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: the rush integrity is there. You know, everyone's playing sound 141 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: fundamentally sound discipline. Corners can't have multiple pick games unless 142 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: it's pressure in the face of the quarterback and the 143 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: coverage around them is good. So you know, it's an 144 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: ultimate team game, man, and right now we're not doing 145 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: a good job of putting it all together. And it 146 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: it pitches me off because weekend, a week out bill 147 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: comes up there tells us what we need to do 148 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: to win, and we don't do that. The game plan 149 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: is great, you know, and I feel as though this 150 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: is a players league no matter what you call. As 151 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: long as we all on the same accord, communication is there, 152 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: we're all doing the exact same thing. 153 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: Shouldn't matter what you call, you know. So I'll take 154 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: pride in that. I don't really like that. 155 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: I don't really listen to the outside noise, but I 156 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: don't like that because people aren't in this building. These 157 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: guys work hard, leave late, you know, time away from 158 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: their family to try to put us in the best 159 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: position to maximize our talents and make players and we're 160 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 2: just not doing it. 161 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, it piss me off.
