Speaker 1: LG. Welcome back. I appreciate it. Mate. A news when

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,560

00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: gotta do some better self scouting, then I gotta I

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,920

00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: at you, look like gonna go ahead and ask this

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: question real quick. To start us all off, how are you?

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good? Weself really good, really good. M

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: Florida is yours, LG. You know, it's the first time

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: we had a chance to talk with you since you resigned.

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: So maybe start us off with just your thoughts on

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: coming back. Oh, you know, I'm happy to come back.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: You know, I told everybody when I were ended the

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: season last year that I lay roots in the ground. Um,

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: and it's been growing since. And the same thing was

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: the community. But I've done in the community in Boston

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: and something. It's incredible the people I have touched, people

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: that have touched me in a way that we're changing lives,

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, and understanding. I get to come back to

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: a facility, a team, um ownership, and teammates that are accepting,

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: they're willing to play for something and it means something

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: to them. Um, you could never want to give that out,

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: you know. And like I said when I when I

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: signed out, like I was happy. I thrilled to be

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: back in and loved a new out off that we

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: did this offseason to keep on growing with the team

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: because we went to troubling time last year with the pandemic.

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: We shut down players, opted out, players that got heard. Um,

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: people went to different teams. It was a new world

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: that we all had to go through, and we all

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: built this bond um that nobody can say they could

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: experience it because the hardest thing to do is to

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: bond with somebody when you can't break bread with them

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: at the at the dinner table, at lunch, at breakfast,

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: you're not face to face ship you're reading the eyes

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: of everybody, so everybody's emotions are out. So that bonding

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: we build, it just makes you stronger as a team

37
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: and as brothers on that field. And I feel that

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: coming back and I just can't wait to get back

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: out there with him. UM. One quick follow up, Um,

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned just sort of the new additions you know

41
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: some like was there one that particularly you know of

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: or you have a connection with that you know I

43
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: played with Judar. We say that because I played with

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: Judar his rookie year in Baltimore, you know, and it

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: was exciting to um to see that that add on.

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like everybody that came on we

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: added on. It's gonna bring something unique to the table.

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: I can't tell you what it is because we don't

49
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: know them today touch that field with pads on, you know. Um.

50
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: But like I threw when I saw Judar and get

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: get um signed and uh, I'm never when he came

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: out come up from that that UM, I want to

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: do D two school and with his growth over those

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: years was impressive and I knew he was gonna do

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: great things. I'm never leaving me. When I left Baltimore,

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: I I looked at my coaches, said, this kid's gonna

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: be special. Just wait to it. He's just going to

58
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: keep on rowing. And when he came as a player

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: and after man's amazing and last one, I mean, how

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: much have you been able to talk with him reconnect?

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you've probably stayed connected with him,

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: but now that your teammates that I'll be honest with

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: you right now, we just had a baby two weeks ago,

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: so that little girls adding that little girl she she's

65
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: she's everything. So like time, I try to connect with

66
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: everybody hearing there, but I gotta I got a four

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: year old that comes down and beats me up the

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: middle of the night. My little one just won't sleep

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: through the night. So like every time I get a

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: chance to relax, I sit there and try to take

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: a little cat nap. But definitely my whole focus is that, um,

72
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: getting the guys on the line together a little bit talking,

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: is building that brotherhood over the thing because I'm not

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: there right now because of it, because of my new born.

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: So just trying to build that connection with him and everything.

Speaker 1: systems to play in. And we understand that. UM. We

102
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,040

126
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: But when you see the team making all these signings,

127
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: was there a party that was like, oh, I definitely

128
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: want to be back now, not just because of the rooster,

129
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: because of everything that's going on with the new additions. Yeah,

130
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: you know it was already in good communication. Um, but

131
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: the one of the things you got to sign it

132
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: is that happen. I mean, you know they're gonna happen. Um.

133
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: But it's it's some as that when when you're like, hey,

00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna be back and want to be back.

135
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: It's just free agency. You know how that goes. It's

136
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: free agency. Some people goes, some people say, some people

137
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: take pay cuts, some people don't. It's one of those

138
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: things is what do you do and what do you

Speaker 1: been in the leak for so so long, you realize

155
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: that every playbook is pretty much the same. They've got

156
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: different words for it. You got a different terminology. But

157
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: once you start figuring out out like this means this,

158
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: and this means that you kind of need to group

159
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: that together, and and it's going in. It's talking through everything. Um,

160
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: but you really can't do much during this time, but

161
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: this build that bond that you have. You know, like

162
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: everything starts hitting hitting the family when the past come on,

163
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: everybody says, we all know what type of athletes you're

164
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna be, what type player gonna be once the pass

165
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: comes on, because everything started going quickly. So he's trying

166
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: to prepare that everybody for that aspect of it, Like,

167
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: hey man, it's gonna happen fast. We need to get

168
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: this down. I'm going to throw it out there. Um,

169
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: like as one of them there with got child earlier

170
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: to day and like, hey, this is how it's gonna happen.

171
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: When you're gonna start calling out plays, were gonna go,

172
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna go, We're gonna go, We're gonna go, We're

173
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna go. Because you want to make it an unrealistic

174
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: situation to make a real realistic situation when you get

175
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: on the field, because you just don't know what happened.

176
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: You know, place be called, something might be changed. It

177
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: might be one coverage, it might be switched or not

178
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: the coverage. Everything happens down a fast point and we

179
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: need to be able to see that communicate with that.

180
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: So the best thing I could do is just talk

181
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: to that method and like, hey, this is how it's

182
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: going to happen. Okas only can show you so much,

183
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: but you can say, hey, if this happens, I'm gonna

184
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: have to change this way. If this person moves, we're

185
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to change over here. If we bump the front,

186
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: if we don't bump the front, how are we going

187
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: to do it? In It's time place where you can

188
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: communicate with that with me, and and I'm like, hey,

189
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: if I mess up this is how I'm going to

190
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: mess up because I'm seeing this, can you help me

191
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: do it? And if you mess up, if you do

192
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: this and it's supposed to you're gonna move it around.

193
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna switch that up a little bit. And that's

194
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: the best part about like virtually, like I said that

195
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: last year virtual meeting, if you can actually see the

196
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: mess ups on film, it's like, oh, well, this happened here,

197
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: and we could communicate through that. Now when you're in

198
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: the classroom and you're like, Okay, this happened, we did this,

199
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: we did that. It's just that that's that little small

200
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: benefit of that virtual aspect of it, is being able

201
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: to see it throughout the film and discussing it like

202
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: your game planning on on like a weekday for the

203
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: apponing team. So all I could say is I'm just

204
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: putting my words in there and then the market do

205
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: what he does. In coaching, I'm like, hey, if I

206
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: see something, I might comment they asked me a question,

207
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is what I'm reading and this is

208
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: what I see. You gotta see it differently, let me

209
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: know because I want to know how you're looking at it. Also,

210
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: for wee can grow out the unit and with Matt

211
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned you played with him as a rookie when

212
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: he was a rookie. I was just wondering, from Baltimore

213
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: to New England, how much terminology wise, is there a

214
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: carry over there at all or is it kind of

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: a completely new system that all opinions. You know. I

216
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: wish I could say, hey, if I if I knew

217
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore playbook, Hey, I'm making money. I'm like, hey, guys,

218
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: this is what they're going to do. I got it

219
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: all down, but he's gonna body switches up wink us

220
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: over there. When I was there with Dan pe so,

221
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: Dan Pieces system was a little bit similar to UM

222
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: to match the piece system. When I got in, it

223
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: came to flow kind of bills. But when we took over,

224
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how that playbook changed around them for

225
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: a little bit over there, how they're doing stuff. But

226
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty pretty sure like it's not that big of

227
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: a change around. Like I said, as he said, you're

228
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: not a smart player. Um, everybody's coming into the smart players.

229
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: They understand the basis of football, and even understand the

230
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: basis of football. We could get through anything, and we

231
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: just have to understand how you're picking up the plays

232
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: and how how you're terminating in on the field. And

233
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: that's that's just that communication of walking through everything, talking

234
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: about it and messing up. The biggest mess ups are

235
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: the greatest features. And that one coach told me one day,

236
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: he said, you see this, uh, this te game taco

237
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: in the first he said, I said, yeah. He said,

238
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: you know why we put it there on this players

239
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: and now because he messed up and it looks good.

240
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: So stuff like that happened. When do these mess ups,

241
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: you get that understand how to think in and we

242
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: could build from that and it might work out for

243
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: the best. Thanks Lawrence, well, next question from Bob Sticy

244
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and then followed by Alan Segel. Thanks Stephanie and i'leo

245
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: Mike's words and welcoming you and look forward to meeting

246
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: in person. And Lawrence, congratulations, Thank you. I wanted to

247
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: ask you about your fellow captains who also resigned, James

248
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: and David, yourself and then of course Dietrich Wise, who's

249
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: the guy that brings a lot in the room and

250
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: on the field. What was your reaction in addition to

251
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the newcomers and the former Patriots, And once again Patriots

252
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: like Kyle Van Noy to David Returning, James and Dietrich. Uh,

253
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: you know I don't talking to Dave on the phone

254
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: a couple of times talking to James. We all had

255
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: a good communication. Like I said, we we we're a

256
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: part of something else unique last year. So you know,

257
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: we all had a ball of this china. How's it

258
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,359
Speaker 1: going with it looking like are you going to be sign? Um?

259
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: How that process of it? It was exciting, you know

260
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: this did this talk about free agent because this free

261
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: agent was a little bit different than anybody else. That's

262
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, we had another cap on there. They put

263
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: a structure on that. So it's just talking through that

264
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: whole aspect of it. But it's exciting. You know, see

265
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: we're all back, you know said as Jay gone um.

266
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: But it's one of those things you understand free agency,

267
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Like I said, you don't know what's going to happen

268
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: and doesn't know who's gonna sign, who're not going to sign,

269
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: or you could do. It's to open everydeal who was open?

270
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: Arms Um like saying that same KBS back. You know,

271
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: I was excited to see Kyle's back, Um, Like, hey,

272
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: you know we we did something I played with. I

273
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: played at the Kyle for like two years straight, so

274
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: it was one of those situations. I already know how

275
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: he is. That's a player, and that's a person. I've

276
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: no Kyle Fee many of the years. So I'm just

277
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: excited to be out there with him again, and especaally

278
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: having the high back, you know how it brings a

279
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: lot a lot to the table and an aspect and

280
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: we know the wise you know, I've been here since

281
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: he was a rookie, so I saw the growth between him.

282
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: But if not who we sign, how much we spent

283
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: on this person, how much we spent on that one,

284
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: or who we picked up and all that, it's all about.

285
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: We get to come in there as a brotherhood and

286
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: built this bond, you know. And that's why I said

287
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: I bring it back last year so much because we

288
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: came in there and we built a bond. But it

289
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: was a whole bunch of people with whope, bunch of

290
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: great individuals. And this year we were bringing more people

291
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: into the brotherhood. We had some people leave and branch off.

292
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: We got more people coming in and once we hit

293
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: Once you become a patriot, you're always a patriot of life.

294
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: And that in the aspect it is true, you know,

295
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: and you're just excited to see the new add on

296
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: and excited to get out there. Well, in addition to

297
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: building that bond, you went through an unique experience for

298
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: this team in a disappointing sense too, the way the

299
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: record turned out and missing the Platz for the first

300
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: time in your career as a Patriot. Did that factor

301
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: into wanting to come back and not leave on a

302
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: note like that? From a football standpoint, I say, fearing

303
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: free agency, this is what it is. You know, you

304
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: take it how it is, but there's no hey man,

305
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: we had it back the year. We need to prove something.

306
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: All I can say about last year because last year

307
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: it's gone. You know, we're not gonna get it back.

308
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: I think the best thing about last year, and to

309
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: put it into like small words, I've been on teams

310
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: where we lost and they have given up. But when

311
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: you saw us lose last year, you didn't see a

312
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people go out there and start giving up.

313
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: You saw a whole bunch of men go out there

314
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: and play for their families and for themselves and play

315
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: the teammates. And that's what we did. We went out

316
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: there and play for each other. We played for the organization,

317
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: and we put a heart out there. It wasn't a

318
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: game that you saw, hey, we're just selling the towel in.

319
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: We pulled everybody out and said we just don't care anymore. No,

320
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: we continue to play the football that we were designed

321
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: to play, and that's Patriot football. We put the people

322
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: in there, we wanted to win. We we we gained playing,

323
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: We did everything we can practices. Then that just gets easier.

324
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Building that this gets easier. It wasn't like, oh, this

325
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: go home earlier today. No, we gained playing and we

326
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: stayed and we compete it at our butts off. Then

327
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: that's the best thing that I can say. Like this

328
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: new adventure that we have in this year, it's going

329
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: to be exciting that we got a lot of new

330
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: add ons um, but it's just we have to build

331
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: that a whole other season up. You know, you just

332
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: don't come off of winning season Lewis season like this

333
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: is going to be this new season. No, you start

334
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: from the off season. We start building. But you can

335
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: having a better season the following season or having a

336
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: new season. Lawrence, thanks go ahead, Alan, thank you Stephanie Man.

337
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: I'll Aaron reiterate with the other guys who said, welcome

338
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: genuine Lindle, look forward working with you, part of me

339
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: working with you and Lawrence, congratulations on the contract and

340
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: the new one. Thank you. My plan hit Lawrence uncharacteristically.

341
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: Last year, Um, you guys had some problems stopping the

342
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: run and especially stopping the runs to get first downs.

343
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: Do you learn by that? Was it a characteristic of

344
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: just the way last year was in terms of cohesiveness

345
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: and is that something you expect to be a prime

346
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: focus going forward to this year? Well, like I said,

347
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: you build off a last year and you know we

348
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: have we have some troubles. You know, we have some

349
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 1: problems and stopping certain things. But all you could do

350
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: is figure wide out what's happening and fix it. And

351
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: that's the best thing about film study. And that's why

352
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: I said, well we're going over this film, we're able

353
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: to talk through the mistakes that we're having. You want

354
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: to have mistakes. If you don't have mistakes, you don't

355
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: have people doing something wrong or people gaining your stuff

356
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: like that, you can never learn from it, right. You

357
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: want to learn from your failures. That all the great

358
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: to say I learned from my failures they missed With

359
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Klobe George, I missed more shots than I have made

360
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: a learner from them failures. And that's what we're doing.

361
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: We struggle that at certain things, and now we have

362
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: to pick that up and realize, how do we get better?

363
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: What do we need to get better? Did we change

364
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: the plays? Did we change a style of a technique up?

365
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: How do we get better from the previous year? Because

366
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: nothing wants to stay the same. Everybody wants to improve.

367
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: And that's what we're going to do. We're going to

368
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: improve on every little thing that when you ask certain

369
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: people to team, that's why you make adjustments and say, well,

370
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: what were you thinking, Why did we do this, Why

371
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: did you make that step? Why do you go on

372
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: that guy? And you can now adjust from them, like, well,

373
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: we ain't gonna do that again. Let's just swisch this up, like, hey,

374
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: we may we run this play against this play and

375
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: ain't gonna work as well. So how about we make

376
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: a little adjustment here and move your body here or

377
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: stunt you this way to convert or stop that. But

378
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that's just something that you're doing the

379
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: offense and you do for training camp, you work on

380
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: those those problem plays you had a year before, but

381
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: you don't work on a year before places. You keep

382
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: going back for the last couple of years to figure

383
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: out what teams are hurting you with and continue to

384
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: fix those issues. Right, great, thanks very much launch. Well,

385
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: all right, Lawrence, thank you so much for joining us today.

386
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it.
