5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: good gaming and game out in your mind, what's allowed

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: that to happen?

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 3: I think you just used the word he's been one,

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: has been healthy all season, and then two, he's been

Speaker 3: playing very consistent, you know, you know, every week week

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: the week, So I think, you know, consistency is the key.

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: And then for him, it's he's been.

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: Consistent in the ring game, being consistent in the past game,

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: and he's been doing a really good job for our

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: defense and you know, making some good plays for us.

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: What area has been his biggest improvement would you say?

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: I'll say again, like you know, going to this year

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: three for him, I think, you know, this third year,

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: he's done a good job and being a complete player

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: as far as early down, third down, RN game, past

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: game and being consistent. And that's the key thing that

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: we try to We preach consistency, and we preach on,

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: you know, making sure we have good habits and creating

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 3: good habits and and that's what you're able to see

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: on Sundays. So when we go out there and play,

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: he's plent some good you know tape out there and

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: he's he's just been so consistent for us and we

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: need to continue. We need him to be continue to

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 3: be good for us for the next three weeks.

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: Thanks, thank you.

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: And next question Minica Nelly.

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: Marcus.

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: Speaking of guys who have contributed consistently for you guys,

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 5: this Devon has been part of the really a foundational

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 5: piece for the defense for a while now in New England.

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 5: But it's really one of the lesser heralded guys at

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 5: least outside the organization from what we've seen. What have

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 5: you seen from his growth within the Patriots system and

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: the role he's taken on for you guys.

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so divine again like with him.

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: You know, this is his third year in our system too,

41
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 3: and a lot of those tackles, you know, I would

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: say early now, defensive tackles don't really get a lot of.

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: Recognition as you know some some of the you.

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: Know, premier pass rushers or the other guys that you

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: will see in the league. But here in New England

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: with our defense, our coaching staff, I would say, you know,

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: he gets a lot of recognition by his performance and play.

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: He does a really good job of bearing throughout the

49
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: week his practice, the way he practice his practice, habits,

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: his attitude towards work, his attitude towards you know, studying

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: opponents is second to none. And he does a really

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: good jobs and it shows on Sundays when you go

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: out there and play.

54
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: You know, he turns it on for us. Uh, he dominates.

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: Uh, you know the guy across the ball from whoever

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: that might be center guard. It really doesn't matter because

57
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: he a master technician and does a really good job

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: of practicing those habits on Winston. Once it turns to

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: gain reality, it's there's no thinking at all.

60
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: And we've in terms of guys who have made it

61
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 5: to the NFL from small schools, Kyle Duggar gets a

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 5: lot of attention. But with Jeremiah and Sam on the

63
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: defensive line, how have you seen their progression coming from

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: smaller programs and Jeremiah obviously having to send in the

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 5: USFL into the NFL.

66
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: Always Joe with Jeremiah say, one day, hopefully I'll be

67
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: a part of your store and your book because I'm

68
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 3: just so proud of that dude from you know, from

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: friends college, you know, to out of football, to USFL,

70
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: to Arena, to just work in a regular job, and

71
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: to now being on an active roster at the new

72
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: end the Patriots, which is such a blessing for him,

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: and really all the credit goes to him. I mean

74
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: every single day Jeremiah is working on something in the morning,

75
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: probably one of the you know, first guys in there,

76
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: last one off the field, Uh, ask great questions in

77
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: the b room. Even when he was on practice squad,

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: he prepared as if he was, you know, a starter

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: on defense. And this is a guy that you know,

80
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: planted the disease back when he got here and just

81
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: kept going and kept going and kept going and kept going.

82
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: And now you see a guy that's uh, you know,

83
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: that's on an active roster, that suited up on game days,

84
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: that's reaping the rewards of you know, the sows that

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: you've see you know that he planned, you know, a

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: long time ago.

87
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 2: So you know, I can't say.

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: Enough good words about him and what he's done for

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: us and just the kind of man he is. And

90
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: then along line with saying same thing for him, it's

91
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: another guy that just continued to get better, you know, developing.

92
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: That's what you want.

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: You want players to develop, you know, whether that's you know,

94
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: year to year, week to week, month and month, is

95
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: to get better. And that's what he's been doing, you know,

96
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: developing for us, he's been getting better and I think

97
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: he has a part future.

98
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.

99
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 6: Next question, Chris Ryan, Hey, DeMarcus on on farmar again

100
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 6: his anticipation and also technique. I was hoping you could

101
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 6: talk a little bit about that because it's felt like

102
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 6: in the last game he was doing a really good

103
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 6: job of coming off blocks, but also kind of knowing

104
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 6: where the play was was headed, what's improved there and

105
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 6: what allows him have success?

106
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, with him, uh, it's really

107
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: his ability to use his explosion, his get off his

108
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: pad level, and his use of hands. And so when

109
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 3: you're able to use your hands and control blocks, whether

110
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: that's you know in the running game or use separating

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: extension in the past game too, to create that separation

112
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: between the defender, that's that's where you know he's really

113
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: good at, you know, and so for him, for him,

114
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: it's it's he's done a good job of his block

115
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: recognition in the Ring game, which has helped him out

116
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 3: from year one year too. It keeps be getting better

117
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: each year. And so when you're able to read blocks

118
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: and be able to you know, have the recognition of

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: it fast, that allows you to play fast. And for him,

120
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: that's what he's done, you know, for us, and and

121
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: you know continue to do that.

122
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 7: For us, and just you know, for you as an

123
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 7: assistant coach, what's kind of the uncertainty of the future

124
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 7: been like and how has that weight on you as

125
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 7: a difficult at all to focus on the week to

126
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 7: week when you know obviously January seventh is looming and

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 7: what happens after that.

128
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 3: Well, Chris Man, I'm a I'm a firm believer guy.

129
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: So to me, I don't look into that. I'm always

130
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: bloom to where my feet, you know, on my feet,

131
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: my feet or planet. So I look at it day

132
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 3: by day. It's not in my control. It's never in

133
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: my control. I might have my own plans, but it's

134
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: really all guys plans on what I what he has

135
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: for me. And I don't look at, uh, you know,

136
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: outside things as far as like what's what could should

137
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: always think about what how can I get the players

138
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: better today?

139
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: On purpose driven?

140
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: So me it's really to impact our guys, you know,

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: for Jesus. And and that's why I look at you know,

142
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: day to day. So I don't really look at like, hey,

143
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: what's going to happen here there now, It's it's it's

144
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: me attacking every day and doing the best. How can

145
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,200

00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 2: How you doing doing great?

159
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: Keyon White and his his play recognition, I'm curious what

160
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: you've seen from him in that area as a season

161
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: has progressed.

162
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think with the more snaps that he's getting

163
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: over the season. Uh.

164
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: You know, I would say every play is a learning

165
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: play from him and so which is good. So the

166
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: more snaps uh he gets out there on the field, Uh,

167
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: the more learning opportunity he gets, uh he gets in return.

168
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: And each play, you know, we can all can learn

169
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: from you know, every play, you know, good, bad, And

170
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: so you can see where.

171
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: He's able to play fast each week.

172
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: I think, you know, faster each week, you know, with

173
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: the with the more reps that he's been you know,

174
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: getting throughout the season. So you know, I think with

175
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: rookies and you know, a guy, especially a guy like

176
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: him who really hasn't been playing a position for that long, uh,

177
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 3: is able to value the experience of being out there,

178
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: uh you know week the week, you know, so for us,

179
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: and he's done a really good job of of the

180
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: snaps that he's getting and taking advantage of those opportunities

181
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: and for for for him, I think you know, he's

182
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: gonna you know, grow each year each week, just like

183
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: he's been a smart dude, tough dude, and you know

184
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 3: he really makes mistakes twice.

185
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: And we have time for one final question here from

186

191
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: You know, we've heard coaches, assistant coaches say eventually they

192
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 4: want to be head coaches?

193
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,040

194
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: horizon for me of what I want to do.

195
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: You know, I get in this profession to one again

196
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: try to impact you know men, That's what I try

197
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: to do. And you know, so as we go through this,

198
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,239
Speaker 3: you know, the steps of being a position coach, coordinator,

199
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: the head coach. I obviously want to lead lead a

200
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: team that is definitely you know, one of you know,

201
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: my goals.

202
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: And when that might be, I don't know.

203
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: Again, like I said earlier, I said, really, I don't

204
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: have my own plans.

205
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: I said that God has the plans for me.

206
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: So what those plans are, I don't know, all right,

207
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: So that that's what I really said out of that.

208
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: And so whenever he says I'm ready, that's when I'm ready.

209
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: Until then I'll be you know, working and and and

210
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: when that time comes, you know, you'll know, I'll know

211
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: and then we'll go from there.

212
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,199
