The only time 110 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: I've talked to him really is when he came to 111 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: talk to the team, and you know, been around him 112 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: and listening to his stories and doing there. I went 113 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: to his retirement UM announcement, you know, just to get 114 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more inspirational what he went through in 115 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: the league and what he had to say about his 116 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: retire But you know, other than that, you know, I 117 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: don't I wasn't here when he was here. I wish 118 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: I was here when he was playing with the Patriots. 119 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: I can learn a little bit more about the way 120 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: he approached the game and learned a little bit more 121 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: the way how he's studying the way he was able 122 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: to do it. Because a man that size and there 123 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: be that athletic and intelligence or something you just want 124 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: to learn from, you know. But other than that, like 125 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: I said, I just look at his game. When we 126 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: would look at old film, put up an old game 127 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: that Bill wants to watch it. We see how he's 128 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: able to move the pocket, and we see how he's 129 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: able to play those run dolls. And well, people might 130 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: not say it, but if you see that that man passions, 131 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: it's pretty unique because for some of his sides to 132 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: be able to move the way he does, Um, it's 133 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: pretty impressively. And Lauren's just to follow up, I apologize 134 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: if that was a repeat question I might have not 135 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: heard leading up to that. What the virtual has been 136 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: like for you guys? The virtual you're gonna ask Bill 137 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: about that. It's pretty good as you need you know, 138 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: it's um, it's one of those things what's going on 139 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: in the world today. It's it's the pandemic. It's crazy. 140 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's a hard time for everybody. And we're 141 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: able to do virtual workouts, we're able to do virtual meeting, 142 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: and we're able to still find a new way to 143 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: continue to improve our crist And it's a it's a 144 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: different way of learning. You know, I was talking with somebody, Um, 145 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: come days, it's a different way of learning, and it's 146 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: going to help pretty much help everybody in the aspect 147 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: of getting what you need to do the paper and 148 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: through words, so you might see it, you might hear 149 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: it and be like, okay, maybe fully understanding, you can 150 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: ask a little bit more questions because you're in your 151 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: comfort zone and when you're up at the facility around 152 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: and everybody else, you're moving your duds, watchings, you're doing 153 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: everything you might feel uncomfortable. But now we're not able 154 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: to do that. You hear more questions you as you 155 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: hear more things being UM said. That's trying to get 156 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: more detailed into it, not saying we weren't that. We 157 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: wasn't that detail, but you get to see it developing. UM. 158 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: And I truly think when the rookies come in and 159 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: they get this expirits, something that's different. UM, their murdering 160 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: curve is going to be there. But I feel like 161 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: we had the resources and we had the players UM 162 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: that are able to reach out and talk and help 163 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: them out. And it's going to help every single player 164 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: get a little bit more closer with the team and 165 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: through this time because we don't have that interactional on 166 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: the field, so we don't have this more interaction on 167 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: the phone, the video chat and trying to get to 168 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: know each other. That one we're gonna pause just for 169 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: a second. I'll leave it to either Mic Contracting or 170 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: MinC Preefs. Might we pause for any We don't want 171 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: to ask the question, you know, Lawrence said Mike Petrolly 172 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: if you can hear me, Okay, all right, UM, just this, 173 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: How do you think playing for the Patriots evolves over 174 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: your career? How do I think playing for the Patriots 175 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: have a vall? Have they asked you to do different 176 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: things over the years, um, since you first got here 177 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: more things, different things. Well, you know, um, if you 178 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: follow my background, High Lick League and everything, I'm able 179 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: to play multiple positions, and I could say what the 180 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: Patriots maybe do improve those positions? Works? Um, they challenged 181 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: me to get uncomfortable, um, in certain positions. Well, I 182 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: know certain spots. I know, I'm like, hey, I'm really 183 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: good at this spot, but they you know what you're 184 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: really good at that this spot over here? Playing a 185 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: little bit more, no, pay a little bit more, this 186 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: more if develop your skills has definitely not that there. 187 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: So they push you to the limit where you're like, 188 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: I have to be uncomfortable to get comfortable. And knowing 189 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: that aspect, you get to see over the years the 190 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: development that while I'm able to move down the line 191 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: and be comfortable in every every position, and they're pushing 192 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: me and they're shocking me to be better and better 193 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: every day. Got me to the point where I'm able 194 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: to be comfortable no matter what hand I put down, 195 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: on what position a matter I am, and before it 196 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: might not have been that way. Like I'm comfortable here, 197 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stick to this. But knowing the Patriots, 198 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: they want you to be good. It wants you always 199 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: be the better you because that's being better on a 200 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: special team, being better in your position, being better in 201 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: a position you don't play, or learning something totally different, 202 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: being a multi using player. That's what they strive for 203 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: you to do. And that's the model. The more you 204 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: can do, the better. And that's what everbody's able to 205 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: do on the team. If you look through the whole roster, 206 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: it's not one person only can play one position or 207 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: what aspect. Everybody on the roster would play multiple positions. 208 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: They can also play special teams in multiple positions. And 209 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: that's what we strive to be. To be a better 210 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: player and not just a single player, is to be 211 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: all around her. Great, thank you, Well, okay, we'll go 212 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: Jim McBride and then back to Mike, Greece and Lawrence 213 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: just kind of paying off of Mike's questions, Um, the Patriots, 214 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: you can just wing a little. I'm wondering if was 215 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: that part of the conversation with Bill during the free 216 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: agent process that he envisioned that for you and you 217 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: envisioned that for yourself. Um, if you guys had a 218 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: conversation with Bill, well, you guys know how the conversation goes. 219 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: Pretty much, my my, what I came out of my visit. Um, 220 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: I sat with everybody, thought with Matne, Patricia, Brian Flores, 221 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: brim Dale and you all sad Ron the Wasson film. 222 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: You pull up the film at the rabers and put 223 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: the raibers the Patriots game and went over that the 224 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: whole game, Like what do you think? You know? We 225 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: did all that? Like coming down to speaking with Bill, 226 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: it was straight to the point Bill, how this is 227 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: where we value as a player and we're going to 228 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: get the best out of it. And pretty much that 229 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: was it. You know, it's a straight shooter, and that's 230 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: the best thing you hear about Bill. He's gonna tell 231 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: it the truth. You don't tell how it is. And 232 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: that's why you pretty much he was telling me, how 233 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: you come on this team, We're gonna make me better 234 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: we're going to push it. It's gonna make your own comfortable. 235 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: And when I first stepped in the door, I wasn't 236 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: perfect on the film, wasn't perfect in the system that 237 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: it was going. But I chose to get better every 238 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: day and they challenged me to sistently. So from the 239 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: first year to the second to last year, you can 240 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: see the improvement aspect of the game because they could. 241 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: They're never gonna let you be like, Okay, you're good here, 242 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: that's it. I always probably be like, well, you're good here, 243 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: Now let's get better.
