1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Devin, it's Dale Rich and Steve DEOSSI. How are you. 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad how you guys going doing great? Thanks? At 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: some point this year. I'm hoping if we get the 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: chance that you screw us up and have Jason do 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: this thing instead of you, because I won't know the difference. Well, 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: I you probably I wouldn't be supposed that that happens. 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: I just got to get it okay to the pr 8 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: stats a lot better defensive effort. I thought from your 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: team last night, how did you assess what went on? Yeah? 10 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: I thought we came out with good energy. That was 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: something we talked about this week of just taking a 12 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: field and playing a hard from the start, of everyone 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: just being into it. Not as much X and os, 14 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: but running effort and everything. And I thought we got 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: that last night. What do you think of how your 16 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: brother has made the transition of becoming a New England 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Patriot after obviously many years with Tennessee then with Cleveland. 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: How do you think he's done early on here with 19 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: the Pats. I've been good. I mean I think it 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: was kind of what was expected from you know, other 21 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: guys on the team, you know, knowing he's a team 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: that he's played in different systems. You kind of expect 23 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: him to come in and learn and understand what's what 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: he has to do. And I think last year going 25 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: to Cleveland was a good transition for him to understand, 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: you know, what it takes to go to a new 27 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: team and be a veteran guy there. Devin, we noticed 28 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: a lot more pressure on the quarterback that we saw 29 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: in the first game. Is this a point of emphasis 30 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: for your team and is it a factor of a 31 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: philosophy change or is it a personnel scenario. I think 32 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: Gods has played well yesterday. It's something we always talk about. Um, 33 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, how much better we're able to play up 34 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: front in the back end when we're able to rush 35 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: the past and not you know, let the quarterback just 36 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: be back there and feel good in the pocket. So 37 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: I thought, guys, that are really good job of russian 38 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: secuting the game plan. We're talking to Patriots defensive back 39 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: Devin McCarty on a Patriots Friday. I'm always curious about this, 40 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: and I understand you don't make the decisions the coaches do. 41 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: How much preseason game time do you think you need 42 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: to get ready for the regular season? Uh, you know, 43 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: I never think about it because each year I've been 44 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: here has been different. You know, I've had a year 45 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: where I was coming off an off season and shoulder 46 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: surgeon and played twelve please and felt okay going out there. 47 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: So I think each year as different as you get. Holder. 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: If there is, I think Build does a good job 49 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: of getting guys what he thinks we need, especially when 50 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: you factor in what we're doing in practice too. So um, 51 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: I think, like I've never worried about that every year 52 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: I've been here, is there something you look to get 53 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: out of preseason? Something specifically, especially you know after you've 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: been here for so many years. I think first of all, 55 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: staying healthy and then trying to build the bond with 56 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: your guys so in the secondary and defensively trying to 57 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: play well as a unit. Um, I think that's key. 58 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: You know, I know the game doesn't matter when I lose. 59 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I think he starts to wound each other. You stut 60 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: to understand where from next to you is gonna be. 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: You build trust. So I think that's very key because 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, once you get in that first game, you 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: know there's no retoos. All those games count. Have you've 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: been through a number of preseasons. Now, do you see 65 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: any anything different or or anything out of the norm 66 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: that you've seen in all your other preseasons, is or 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: anything that jumps out at you, whether it's a point 68 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: of emphasis or something. No. I think for you know, 69 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: this year, I think we still have a lot of 70 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: our core guys, but I think what happens is that 71 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,279 Speaker 1: all those guys start to get older. I think you 72 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: you really start to realize how important it is each 73 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: day you're out there, and you realize you don't know 74 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: how many more, you know, years you're gonna play. And 75 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: I think a lot of our core guys are older now, 76 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: and we try to really, you know, extend that point 77 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: to every guy, to young guys who come in, veterans 78 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: who change teams and come here. And I think, um, 79 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: we're doing a good job of that this year, just 80 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: trying not to waste any days god that try to 81 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: get better. How are the coaches preparing you guys for 82 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: this new helmet rule this year? We all sat in 83 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: there in a meeting and I think we kind of 84 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: understand you have to go out there and play as 85 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: it's being called. I think the one thing you're gonna 86 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: see this year is as just not going to be 87 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: consistent as they keep it the way it is. You 88 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: don't have to go out there and however it's being 89 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: called in that game, m you're gonna have to adjust. 90 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: Like last night there was a lot more penalties for 91 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: the helmet rule than it was in our first game, 92 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: So we'll have to adjust each week all however it's 93 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: being called. So do you go in trying to tackle 94 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: differently than you have in years past? Or are you 95 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: doing things the same? I'm doing things the same, like 96 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: I've never been a guy has been you know, heavy 97 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: and guys in my helmet, And I think it's too 98 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: hard to just trying to change how you class think 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: you end up hurting yourself if you try to do that. 100 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: Devil you practice against them every day for the most part, 101 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: or see them. How do you how do you look 102 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: at this receiving cord that your offense has this year? 103 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: I think they do a great job of being where 104 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: they need to be getting open. Uh you'll hear Bill 105 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: say over and over in the meeting room receivers that 106 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: jobs get open and catch the ball. Then it sounds simple, 107 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: But um, I think they've done a good job of that, 108 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: and you know being out there in these games. A 109 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: guy like CP Patterson has made players off the training 110 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: camp and I think it's great once you see them, 111 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: you know, go out there in game day and make 112 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: the same type of plays they're making a practice. Devin, 113 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: we appreciate the time. Thanks very much. We'll talk to 114 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: you again soon, no problem. Take from you at its. 115 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: Patriots defensive back end Captain Devin mccordy
