1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Man, Hey, Tom, good morning. What's great. How are you doing? 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: What's going on? How was your weekend? I was good, man, 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: it was really nice. Had it just a nice uh 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of time with the kids, so 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: it was it was great. Usually don't get that this 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: time of year. Do you end up like, do you 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: watch a lot of red zone like uh, yesterday or 8 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: would you end up watching any football at all? I 9 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: know I didn't. Actually yesterday was pretty There wasn't much 10 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: time to do it yesterday, so we're kind of doing 11 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: other things, but obviously just watching a lot of their 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: scores and I saw a couple that I did watch 13 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: that for probably an hour or two. So it was good. 14 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: I got enough football in Tom, I was watching your 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Instagram stories with the kids and whatnot. Like, do you 16 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: find it hard to disconnect from football when you're spending 17 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: time with your family, when you're when you're doing things 18 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: like that. You know, it's such a performance driven guys, 19 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: it is it easy for you to kind of step 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: back and say, Okay, this is my time. I can 21 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: I can disconnect from football? Yeah? Yes, and no. I 22 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: think it's it's good to do it, but it's also 23 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, in the back of my mind, I'm still 24 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: thinking about this football season. So you're just kind of 25 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, did I get enough for us 26 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: today or did I get you know, am I ready 27 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: to go for practice this week? Or did I get 28 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: what I needed to be done? You know, it works, 29 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: so yes, No, it's it's not like you can totally 30 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: disconnect like um, you know you can, let's say, in February, March, April, 31 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: because you just know it goes so quick and right 32 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: around the corner. Like today, you know, we're basically back 33 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: to a normal week. So, um, as good as the 34 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: weekend was, you're kind of back to your normal routine. 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: Now at this point, you're just back grinding again. So 36 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: you're thinking about the Jets. Yeah, yeah, basically, I mean 37 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: you gotta because it's uh, I mean, as the football 38 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: season is, I think it stresses you a lot of 39 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: weights and and there's a competitive stamina that you got 40 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: to have and you've got to keep in order to 41 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: just keep kind of pressing on because it's very easy 42 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: this time year. And I think you'll see it with 43 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot of teams. You know, they start to get 44 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: fatigued mentally, not just physically, but you start to maybe 45 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: work a little less hard, or you work, you know, 46 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: you kind of just get through the day as opposed 47 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: to try to push through the day and improve, you know. 48 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: And I think over the course of you know, if 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: you do that all of October half in November, you know, 50 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: before there's really light at the end of the tunnel, 51 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: then you don't make any improvements. And then at the 52 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: time of the year where you should be getting better, 53 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, you've never really improved. So I think our 54 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: team is always focused on trying to improve. And in 55 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: order to do that, you got to you gotta push. 56 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: You gotta just push through the fatigue of like you know, 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: the early part of the season. Like I would say, 58 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: it's like the early part of a marathon. You know, 59 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: you're on a mile eight or nine. You're not really 60 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: close to the end, but you're not really close to 61 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: the beginning anymore either, and you just got to go 62 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: do it and you got to push through it. I 63 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: think you know that every little thing that you say 64 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: is dissected and over analyzed by fans in the media. 65 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: Um so I do want to you though, what's that 66 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: not by you? No, Tom, I mean you say something, 67 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: I take it as as as as law. I mean, 68 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: you tell me to drink more water, I drink more water. 69 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you know how that goes. Um. 70 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: But I think, UM, when we listen to you after 71 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: a game like Thursday, we sometimes hear frustration in your voice, 72 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: And so I was wondering if that ends up being 73 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: frustration with the performance of the offense as a whole, 74 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: or frustration with what you have available to throw to 75 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: or or frustration with yourself or is there no frustration 76 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: after a game like Thursday. No, I think it's probably 77 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: a lot of different emotions that you feel from week 78 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: to week. And I don't think it's just pure, you know, 79 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: because you win, it's not like there's one hundred percent jubilation. 80 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: And I think when you lose, it's not like there's 81 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: one hundred percent disappointment. So it's probably mix of a 82 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: lot of different things, you know, and there's probably they 83 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: probably it's the whole spectrum of things. You know. When 84 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: you think about the game, the important thing is to 85 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: win the game. I mean, really, that's the reason the 86 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: only reason why we play is that you know you 87 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: win or you lose. I think as you project out, 88 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: you know you start thinking about Okay, I know it 89 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: worked tonight, but we better figure this out or else 90 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: this is going to come back to to beat us. 91 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: So I think that's probably kind of twenty years of experience. 92 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: That's the benefit of experience is using the experience to 93 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: make good decisions. If you don't learn from things that 94 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: you have already made mistakes on, then you know it 95 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: does I think that is frustration. So I think I 96 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: have the benefit of experience and looking from a unique 97 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: perspective that probably a lot of people don't have, you know, 98 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: because they haven't had the opportunity to play for as 99 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: long as I have. And you know, I love the 100 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: way that you know, our team has won the games 101 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: that we've played. That's been great and it's great to 102 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: be six and ozeroum. But at the same time, I 103 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: don't think there's any complacency or um a belief that 104 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, we've got everything figured out, or we have 105 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: all the answers, or the next week is going to 106 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: be easier than the last week. I think you realize 107 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: that it's only going to get harder as the season goes. 108 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: When it when it comes to you and and coach, 109 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: do you do you ever lobby him during the season 110 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: to acquire players. You know, I've said this before too. 111 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: I think that the one position I'm in is um 112 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: He and I, you know, we always talk to football. 113 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: We have have open relationship for twenty years about our 114 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, team, and you know when he asks, you know, 115 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: I have opinions and so forth. But I said before, like, 116 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: I don't make That's not my role, you know, And 117 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: I think there's part of me that you know, I 118 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: just and I said this before that you know, from 119 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: my standpoint, I'm a player, you know, I'm a player 120 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: like everyone else. I'm not enough position where I make 121 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: authoritative decisions. So you can't become attached to making authoritative 122 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: decisions because then you just get disappointed when those are 123 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: things are out of here control. Yeah, I think for me, 124 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, when you're in a position to make those 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: authoritative decisions, you know, then that's what your job is. 126 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: You know, My job is to do what I do, 127 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: which is to try to play quarterback, realizing that a 128 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: lot of those decisions do impact how I play quarterback. 129 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: But you know, I also have a lot of trust 130 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: that you know, our our our organization, you know, is 131 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: trying to win games too, So um, i'd say it's worked. 132 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: You know, we've had great relationship for you know, twenty years, 133 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, so we'll just try to keep doing the best. 134 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing the best that I can do. 135 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to be the person that I am, 136 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: um to try to help us win in whatever role 137 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: that they asked me to. And you know that that 138 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: hasn't changed from twenty years ago. So I'll show up 139 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: this week and you know, they're going to put players 140 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: in positions based on game plan and who's out there 141 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: to say, hey, this is what we expect. And then 142 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna try to do the best I 143 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: can do as well. So and then injuries play a part. 144 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: You know, we've had In the Washington game, Philip door 145 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: Set went out after you know, three plays, and this game, 146 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: Matt Lacosse went out after you know, a short period 147 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: of time. So then you're just making adjustments, you know, 148 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: And I think that's just part of football. But you know, 149 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: you go through a whole week preparing and that's again 150 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: that's a tricky play about football. You know. Part of 151 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: the experience that we've had as a team has been 152 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: able to adjust and people do get injured. Um, you know. 153 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: So it's just it's football season has its challenges for 154 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: every team, and even yesterday, you know, you watch some 155 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: of these games and like, you know, it's thirst thirst 156 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: challenges and and that's just part of it. Dealing with 157 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: them is part of what football seasons all about. Gronk 158 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: is going to be in here tomorrow. Do you have 159 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: a thirty second elevator pitch that we could play for 160 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: him on coming back when he's when he's in here tomorrow. Nah, 161 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: He's I'm just you know, look, I'm I love that guy. 162 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm so happy that he's enjoying, um, you know, his time, 163 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm happy that he's enjoying his life. 164 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: And he seems to really be um doing a lot 165 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: of great things. So he knows how I feel about him, 166 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: and I want what's best for him, and he's the 167 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: only person that can make those decisions. So I don't 168 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: lobby for those things, you know, I just I'm I 169 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: have a great relationship with him. He's gonna actually held 170 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: a lot of our team already over the course for 171 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: a long period of time, and I think people should 172 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: be very appreciative and you know, so what he's brought 173 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: to the team and what he's brought to the to 174 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: the region, because I think he's just a very special guy, 175 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: and you know, he's just he's a different phase of 176 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: his life. Belichick gave you the game ball after passing 177 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. When was the last time that you got 178 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: a game ball from coach? I don't I don't remember, 179 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: but that was very nice. That was very very kind. 180 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: I was, I would say, um, unexpected, but certainly appreciated. 181 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: And you know, it's pretty cool. I mean, I never 182 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: and I've never imagined playing twenty years in the NFL, 183 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: and Peyton was a guy that I looked up to 184 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: because he was so spectacular in every way. And you know, 185 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 1: Brett Farve is the same. And you know, you can 186 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: only do it with the help of so many people, 187 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: to support of so many people, to helped me accomplish 188 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: my dreams and to accomplished doing something I'd love to do. 189 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of people that sacrifice a 190 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: lot for me. So I guess for me, it's just 191 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: thinking about those people and how appret shot if I 192 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: am of them, my family, my kids, you know, my wife, 193 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: you know my teammates, my coaches. You know, it's very 194 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: very special, and you can accomplish that because it's just it. 195 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: It's the more to you know, completing passes. It speaks 196 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: to you know, people, you know, making it possible for 197 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: me to even go out there and do something I 198 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: love to do. So that's kind of what I think about, 199 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: speaking of accomplishing dreams. Coach could have given you the 200 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: game ball Tom for being the first forty two year 201 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: old in NFL history to get two rushing touchdowns in 202 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: the same game. I about that, I know. I got 203 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: to text them Doug Flutie, who's a good friend of mine, 204 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: and I said, I guess rushing touchdown. I think they 205 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: should delineate between quarterback sneak touchdowns and actually where you 206 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: have to run here's for a touchdown. But I don't 207 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: know if you classify minus rushing touchdowns because there's not 208 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: much more rushing. It's more like sneaking. But you're the 209 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: lead back on the team. Sony's probably taken lessons from 210 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: you at this point. You're kidney, but you definitely not 211 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: taking lessons. But I don't have very far to go, 212 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: so I just kind of slither my way in through 213 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: there and uh and find a way to get to 214 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: as far as they need to go. It's usually not 215 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: very far. Tom. The people have spoken and they have 216 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: decided that the Needham Bank Needham Bank, your local community bank, 217 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: player of the game last week, despite the fact that 218 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: you through for score, ran through for a couple of 219 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: scores and ran two in Kyle van Noy, who has 220 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: been a stud on the defense. This amazing world class 221 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: defense you guys have. Can you talk about the ascent 222 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: of van Noy on the defense and also the fact 223 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: that he's got this boogeyman nickname going on for the defense. Yeah, 224 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool to Those guys are playing so spectacular. 225 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: I mean, it's they have so many versatile players, and 226 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: they're making play after play after play, and just they 227 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: all hustle to the ball, they attack the quarterback. I mean, 228 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't say enough good things about 229 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: those guys because we're watching it now for you know, 230 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: two and a half months, and we practice against them, 231 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: and they just make it hard to do anything consistently well. 232 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: Or of course they drive quarter half game. I mean, 233 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: we're just put a lot of pressure on the opposing offense. 234 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: So when you're out there, I mean, which is very rare. 235 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: Like the defense. I mean, we're a threat to basically 236 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: score points now, I mean when our defense is on 237 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: the field, and that's that's pretty sweet. I mean from 238 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: my stampoint to watch them and to watch the opposing 239 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: offense give up points now for I don't know how 240 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: many times that is, two, three times, Um, that we're 241 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: just we're making plays in scoring points with offenses and 242 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: on the field. So that's an incredible, incredible benefit, you know, 243 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: having the type of defense and special teams units that 244 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: we have. So it's I couldn't be happier the way 245 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: those guys are playing. They're dominating football. The Quarterback Question 246 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: of the Week Tom is brought to you by Northeast 247 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: Men's Clinic specializing in the sexual health of men. It 248 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: was suggested over the week weekend that Julian Edelman is 249 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: not a top twenty five receiver. Um, where where do you? 250 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: Where do you rank Julian Edelman? Well, for me, he's 251 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, a spectacular player and he's wanting to you know, 252 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: he'll be in the in the Picture Hall of Fame, 253 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: so and he could be you know, appro football Hall 254 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: of Famer two at some point. So, I mean he's 255 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: what he's done and what he's accomplished in his career 256 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: is you know, nothing short of spectacular, and he's a 257 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: great teammate. He does all the dirty work. I mean, 258 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: not just his only spectacular performances. You know, his a 259 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: building of run routes, catch the ball, run after cash, 260 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: but you know, blocking, blocking for other guys. I think 261 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: his day to day mentality really sets the tone for everybody. 262 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: I mean whenever you know, we put Julian in a 263 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: position to do all the toughest jobs basically, and that's 264 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: what he relishes. And I think it's those things can't 265 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: go unnoticed because when he's not in there, you can 266 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: see the difference it has on our offense. And I mean, 267 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: he's he does a lot of things that a lot 268 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: of other players in the NFL can't do. And you know, 269 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: he's just a spectacular player. So that's definitely kind of 270 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: a bogus boat in my view, because I think he's 271 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: he's pretty spectacular. I mean, he is a spectacular player, 272 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: one of the greats in the NFL. No doubt. He 273 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: gets it done. One hundred and twenty five catches over 274 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: his last full season boomer size, and earlier Tom said 275 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: he'd be top five wide receiver in the NFL. So 276 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: I think you got some pretty good company, agree with you, 277 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: My Foxboro fanboy. Question of the week for you this week, 278 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: Tom comes on the heels of your Instagram stories.

Yeah, 284 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: you can't think about Field of the Dreams without thinking 285 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: about having to catch with dad. And now we've got 286 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: all these grown men crying on the radio, Tom, listening 287 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: to you.
