1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Hey, Chase, first and foremost good to see you, um,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: good to see anyone actually, and just how did it

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: just feel to get out to practice, you know since

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Saturday when you guys are just get on the fielding

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: pads and get together out there. It's great to see you,

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: and it's great to get out there and get some

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: of the dust off, you know, to get some of

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: the rust off, as they say. I was awesome to

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: be out there with my teammates on John Simon's birthday especially.

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: That's a reason to celebrate. If any else, I know,

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: you're the hype man, I guess for Stephan Gilmour, just

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: how how did he look? How did you feel to

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: have him out there despite everything that was going on? Yeah,

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: I can't evaluate, Steff. I'm just focused on my assignment.

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: Thanks question. Alan Susan followed, thanks than you? So why

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: are you okay? Thank you? Thank you? Guys haven't played

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: a game since Cobert fifty head three? Practice is something

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: along that line. I'm curious on a normal week, you

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: have you your mental aspect of the game, then go

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: out and have the reps to you know, really submit

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: what you're going to do in this situation? Is it

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: become tough and mentally because you don't have a lot

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: of reps to really, you know, get the body with muscle,

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, muscle memory, what you're going to do out there.

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: I want to say it's tough because of the lack

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: of reps. It's tough because the lack of consistency and

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,639
Speaker 1: kind of knowing what to expect. I think the body

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: in general likes when things are very consistent and whenever

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: you switch stuff up and do very erratic things. Not

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: that we are doing erratic things. I want to clarify that. Um,

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, it tends to respond differently, so you know,

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: it is what it is. The coaches are doing a

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: great job of making the best out of a situation

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: that is really nobody's fault. It just it's COVID and

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: times are crazy, and we're trying to make the best

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: of this situation and they sure are. Thank you, Thank you.

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Next question my Charity, followed by Chris Ryan. It tastes

38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: good to see you. It's good to be seen. I

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about Drew Locke and just what

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: you've seen in your in your film study of him

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: and maybe his development from year one to year two. Yeah,

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: this falls into the same category. I can't really evaluate quarterbacks.

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: I know, Uh, this would be these would be juicy

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: takes for sure. Um, but yeah, Drew is a great player.

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: And whoever they put in or if he plays, if

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't play, Um, we got jobs to do, and

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: um we got I got a quarterback to hit, So

48
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter for me. Just what sort of

49
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: does he present him? Would you say, what sort of

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: challenges does he present? Um? He presents a lot of challenges.

51
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: Next question, And Chris Fryan, Hey, Chase, UM, just curious

52
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: as to how you evaluate with the last ten or

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: so days has been like obviously getting back in the

54
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: practice field today and not knowing when there's such consistency

55
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: to what you do, what the team does. Um, what

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: has that been been like as as a group, and

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: what have you perhaps gained from this experience. You're talking

58
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: about COVID in general, and just like the last few

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: weeks exactly, I'd say something that's pretty interesting, dynamic. I'd

60
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: say COVID's definitely allowed me to spend a lot more

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: time at home. You know, I've definitely got to kind

62
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: of unwind and just unpack the first part of the season,

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: and I feel like anytime you deal with especially a

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: job as stressful, sometimes people are gonna laugh when I

65
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: say that. I feel like there's certain stressors that just

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: being a football player in the NFL, you know, kind

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: of present itself. And I don't mean that to sound ungrateful,

68
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: but rather just you know, having a second which is

69
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: essentially with the bye week in my mind, is for

70
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, to really unpack those untangle those those mental knots,

71
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: and just really hit yourself focused for the last push. Um.

72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: That's what I try to do. And I'm feeling great,

73
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm feeling motivated, and I'm looking forward to this, uh,

74
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: this last you know, twelve games as a fallow up

75
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: to that season as a follow up to that. How

76
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: do you go about, um, trying to maximize your potential

77
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: and do everything to get there, um, but also not

78
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: putting too much pressure on yourself Because it seems like

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about a little bit in terms of,

80
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, the stress of trying to be great, trying

81
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: to be perfect. How do you balance those two and

82
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: at times do you need to take a step away. Yeah,

83
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I think it definitely is a

84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: balance and sometimes they could work hand in hand sometimes

85
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: stepping away. You know, there's a quote, uh, you know,

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: more or less is more and coach Harmill always used

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: to say, no, more is more, but sometimes you know,

88
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: take less is more in the sense that this this

89
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: is a pretzel. Um, let me let me restart this one. Um,

90
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: I just want to say that sometimes taking a step

91
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: back is actually you know, advances you in a way,

92
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: and not take a step back in a sense that like, Okay,

93
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna take us off, take a step back and

94
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: really reflect and dive in. I feel like a lot

95
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: a lot of times, like deep seated emotional and mental

96
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: problems or even n problems of the soul require serious

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: introspection and uh you you know, flush them out and

98
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: just make sure your priorities and your focus are are

99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: aligned properly. And um, you know you're you're going on

100
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: the offensive i'd say, mentally and physically and emotionally and

101
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: not caught on your heels. Um. So yeah, it's an

102
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: important time for sure. Thanks Chase. Next question Joe Kaata,

103
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: followed by Micrease. Sorry about that, Jake, Um, what I

104
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: was ordered of any question? Sorry? Oh you hear me? No,

105
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I can hear you now, Okay, sorry about that. I

106
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: have the mask on here at the stadium. UM, of course,

107
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: And I had just a lot of guys talked yesterday

108
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: about UM coach Bill Belichick and what he has meant

109
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: to this team over the last teams putting you, guys,

110
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: the player safety and the family safety first. UM, how

111
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: have you felt Bill Belichick has handled these last weeks?

112
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: I always felt this about Coach Belichick, but and this

113
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: is definitely true. And I try to let Coach Belichick

114
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: speak for himself, and this is an evaluation of him,

115
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: just a compliment to say that. You know, Coach Belichick's

116
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: a great general, i'd say of the team and of

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: the organization. He is a leader amongst men. Uh, you know,

118
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: people look to him at times of conflict, i'd say

119
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: for resolution and uh, yeah, he's a great coach. And

120
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: and it's an honor. I mean that one thousand percent sincerely.

121
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: It's it really is an honor to play with him.

122
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's just he always has a vision, always

123
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: has kind of solutions as to what to do if

124
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's great at recognizing what areas need to

125
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: be addressed and even identifying who amongst you know, his

126
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: people can can kind of solve problems all those things.

127
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: He does a great job. And like I said, it's

128
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 1: an honor to play with him. Thank you, thank you.

129
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: Next question my grease, Hey, Chase, how you doing today?

130
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: Do well? All right? Good day to get the dust off,

131
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: knock it off a little bit. Yeah, it felt really

132
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: good to get the dust off, I said, I say,

133
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: dust rust whatever you want to use, it's great. It's great. Um, Chase.

134
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: You you mentioned like John Simon's birthday, and I know,

135
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: you know you have like a good camaraderie with all

136
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: the guys. How challenging has it been to just sort

137
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: of stay connected and close, you know, given some of

138
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: the restrictions you guys are all dealing with. Yeah, it's

139
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: pretty tough. I think a lot of people are are

140
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: hurting for one reason or another. Uh, these are pretty

141
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: trying times, you know, for everybody around the country. And uh,

142
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just trying to focus on the positivity

143
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: and um, you know, bringing good energy to the team

144
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: and just making sure that you know, I'm there for

145
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: my teammates as best I can be. Um, And yeah,

146
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: that that's really it. I think everyone's kind of in

147
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: on that collective mission. And that's what I think makes

148
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: Patriots great in the ways you know we do. UM,

149
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: we do definitely have a lot of those characters around here.

150
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: You get John anything for his birthday? Um, any any

151
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: special gift or treats or anything. I'm just going to

152
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: get him a Michigan victory in a few weeks in December.

153
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: I don't see any additional hands raised. If there are

154
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,840
