What is the key to to 29 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: messaging about what the Patriots are about and the way 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: guys should you know kind of how this kind of 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: take training camp? And does Bill give you complete leeway 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: in regard to messaging as a leader, does he kind 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: of push you in the direction that, um, you know 34 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: you would like you to to go and regard to messaging. No, man, 35 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: I've never believed in kind of the whole like messaging 36 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: and what you tell the guys, like anybody who's ever 37 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: done anything in life, Like you know, you kind of 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: go off what you see. You know, if you go 39 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: somewhere and everyone's saying it's so important to be on time, 40 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: and then the first days you see nobody goes on time, 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: you quickly realize like, all right, these guys are just talking. 42 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: But you know, what are their actions. I think that's 43 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: what everybody's watching. You know, what are guys doing us 44 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: been here?

You know, 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: what's the effort like? I think those are the things 47 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: that you know, not just me or slave being leaders 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: or older guys. It's everybody here that's been here, who's 49 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: been through a Patriots camp. It's it's making sure we 50 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: do that day in and day out. And I think 51 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: that's what new guys, young guys, that's what they learn from. 52 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: And you know, even guys that have been in the league, 53 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: they know how training camp goes.

Thanks, next question forgot how 59 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: to use this thing? Yeah, that's just good to see 60 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: you about it. You're already talking trash about me once 61 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: you Jay, you don't think I saw that. You should 62 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: see the text cham we got going between he and I. 63 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: You are in trouble this year. Tell you know how 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: you media people are, Hey, I just wanted to ask 65 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: you a little bit about Mac. I think Phil touched 66 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: on with Matthew Slater's a little bit of Matthew said, 67 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: you know, eventually this is gonna be his team. How 68 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: have you seen him in the year plus that you've 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: been around him sort of grow and connect with players, 70 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: because I think obviously that's one of the most important 71 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: things to do, other than being a good players, to 72 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: connect with their teammates. Yeah. I mean, I think the 73 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: longest man, it's just being in himself. You know. I 74 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: think anybody you know how it is your first time 75 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: doing something. You're the new rookie. And I think when 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: he first got he was trying to make sure, you know, 77 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: he checked every box, like he was working hard. He 78 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: was in here early, he was staying late. He was 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: just trying to almost be so buttoned up. And I think, 80 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, at different points last year, a lot of 81 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: different guys tell him like, man, just be yourself, like 82 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: whatever you would normally do, you know, back out Alabama 83 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: or back when you were in high school and you 84 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: were running the team and you were that guy leading him, 85 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, either as a junior or senior whatever it was, 86 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: just be that guy. And I think that's what he's 87 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: what he's done, and you've seen it, his goofy side, 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: having fun like that's what this is all about. And um, 89 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: I think when the Sooner players can get to that. 90 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: You know, obviously for him quarterback, leader of the team, 91 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: but any guy, any young guy that when you're playing, 92 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: just being able to be yourself and those leadership qualities 93 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: kind of shine through. And um, that's what we've seen 94 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: so far. And I'm excited for him. He worked so 95 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: hard and he wants to do the right things. He 96 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: wants to lead the group. So excited for him. Thanks. Problem. 97 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: Next question Evan Bizarre. Hey Devin, how you doing? Welcome back? 98 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: Appreciate him now you're doing.

Yeah, man, 106 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: exciting I think for me, through my years here, we've 107 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: had you know, I've had groups like this, you know, 108 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: Tavon Wilson was here with Darron harm and Pat Sean Nate, 109 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: everyone like, We've always had not only a deep group 110 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: of guys that had you know, versatility, that could do 111 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: different things, but also just a good group of guys 112 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: that love being around each other. And that's what I'm 113 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: excited about, you know, obviously me, Doug and Ap, you know, 114 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: the last two years of playing together, getting to know 115 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: each other, and then adding a new jersey legend like Jabrul. 116 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think it's gonna be good for us. 117 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: I think anytime you can add good players to your group, 118 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: it's an exciting time. And you know, I know for 119 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: sure the coaching staff will find different ways to use everybody, 120 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: and I think that's what it's about. But I think 121 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: right now, it's about just getting to know each other, 122 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: having fun out there, being able to be locked in 123 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: playing together, kind of read off each other. The communication 124 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: part to Silent Communica is just so much that goes 125 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: into playing safety together on this team, and I'm excited 126 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: to kind of get that going and start building that process. Thanks. 127 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: Next question Ian, still the dev Good to see you. Likewise, 128 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: kind of similar to the last question, but you know, 129 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: as a leader on this team, you've seen a lot 130 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: of guys come through, maybe undrafted, that have proven themselves 131 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: in their first training camp, made the team and made 132 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: an impact. I think of Malcolm Butler in his first year. 133 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: What are some similarities or traits that you look for 134 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: in a young guy that's trying to make an impact 135 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: on this team early? Just young guys are coming day 136 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: in and day out, I think, obviously not to sound 137 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 1: too much like a coach, but as guys learning from 138 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: the mistakes they made yesterday. I mean, you want to 139 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: have success in this league. That's what it comes down to. 140 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Like to think you're gonna come out here as a 141 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: young guy rookie and not make any mistakes and just 142 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: go about it like that's not gonna happen. You're gonna 143 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: make mistakes, but you got to learn from them. And 144 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: you know, I've always been excited. It seems like almost 145 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: every year we have like a dB or somebody that's 146 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: either undrafted or a low round draft pick that you 147 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: get in and after the first week of practice, You're like, man, 148 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: this guy can play m So that's always exciting. You know. 149 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: I still remember when Miles came in and you know, 150 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: all of five foot six, we laughed and Joe called 151 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: him Isaiah time. It's like he just kept showing up, 152 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: and especially in a year where there was no preseason games, 153 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: he had to show up in training camp and he 154 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: had to make plays, and he did that. So I 155 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: think guys that understand that in Miles showed to be 156 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: smart and can learn. Um. And you know, it's exciting. 157 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: I think so many guys obviously relish this opportunity. They 158 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: want it so bad, and it's about kind of staying 159 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: calm and playing football. Um. And I just feeled I 160 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: try to relay to all the young guys that come 161 00:07:53,040 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: in here. Next question to Kate Randall, Devin, Danny em 162 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: and Dola retired yesterday. We asked Bill about him earlier, 163 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: but I'm just wondering if someone who went up against 164 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: him many times in practice, you know what stood out 165 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: to you most about him? Man? I texted him. I 166 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: texted him yesterday when I saw it and just told him, 167 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: one of the toughest players I've ever played with. I 168 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: remember he first got here and we had Adrian Wilson 169 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: in training camp that year and Dola came down and 170 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: tried to crack them and it was hilarious, like a 171 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: up stuck one handout and kept Dola like a good 172 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: three feet away from him, and Dola's head snapped back. 173 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: And the next time that showed up in practice, he 174 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: ran in there and did the same thing again like 175 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: it didn't happen before. And obviously for us as time here, 176 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: always clutch moments showed up big. But between him and Jules, 177 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think obviously their side sticks out, but 178 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: their effort and toughness to go on there and do 179 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: the hard things in a football game, no matter what 180 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: the situation or circumstances was ill was so and I 181 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: think they inspired you know, guys like me. You know, 182 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: I love watching Dola. Obviously I competed against him. I 183 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: still remember my rookie year when he was on the 184 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: Rams and I had no idea who he was and 185 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: he killed us in a preseason game in the slot. 186 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: So you know, I think, you know, just those memories 187 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: of the time share here and then watching them through 188 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: the years, sad day to see another one of the 189 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: old guys hang it up and you know, but obviously 190 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: out a tremendous career, one of the best teammates you 191 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: can ask for, just being able and willing to go 192 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: out there and give it as all no matter what. 193 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: Thank you. And final two questions Sonning with Tara Sullivan. Hey, Devin, 194 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: how you doing good? How are you good? Thank you? 195 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: Um you even just talked about the old guys. Obviously 196 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: you're closer to the end of you know, you're playing 197 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: days in your career. We saw your brother's decision. I 198 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: would just love to know what you think when you 199 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: look at coach Belichick. He celebrated the seventieth birthday this offseason, 200 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: then he's still at it, Like, what what do you 201 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: make of it? What's what do you imagine keeps him 202 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: in it? What? Just what do you think of that? Yeah? Man, 203 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: I think anybody, uh, when you have to do anything 204 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: with sports is the competitive nature. You love competing. You 205 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: even see guys when they stop playing or stop coaching, 206 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: they find other things to be competitive in. And obviously 207 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: I can't speak for him, but I'm sure the competition 208 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: and being able to be in here and probably working 209 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: with his sons and everything all play a role and 210 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: still coaching. But I know, just speaking for me is 211 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: just enjoyment. You love doing it, you still feel healthy, 212 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: you still feel like you can do it, and you know, 213 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: I think that's that's when it gets tough, when it 214 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: starts to be a struggle to kind of do what. 215 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: You know, your normal tasks are as to fulfill that 216 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: role of the job. But when you don't feel like 217 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: that and you're still enjoying it, it's kind of like, 218 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: why not? Why not continue to do it? So excited? Man? 219 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: You know, he's always has the same energy, always has 220 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: the same expectations for the team and for individuals, and 221 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: it's our job to kind of raise our standards and 222 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: what we do out of whatever his expectation and standards are. 223 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: And you know that's what training campus for. Thank you, 224 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: no problem. And final question Maury hush Gordon, Hey, dev, 225 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask sort of 226 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: a non football question in terms of continuity team structure. 227 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: Knowing that this offseason was a little bit more normal 228 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: to you know, your first decade in the league nine years, 229 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: let's say, compared to the last two, would you say, 230 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: can you feel that there's a better chemistry continuity around 231 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: the guys when they get into the building knowing that 232 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: there there haven't been their restrictions, you know, through the spring. Um. 233 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think obviously that one year in 234 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty was totally different. But I thought even last 235 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: year of guys getting to know each other and doing 236 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: those different things. UM, I just think, you know, the 237 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: world is kind of moving back to normal now, and 238 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: obviously that helps all with a lot of different things. 239 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: Guys getting together even when we're not in the building 240 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: and doing things like that, and traveling more to see 241 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: each other and hang out definitely play a role. But 242 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think when you get in this mold, 243 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: you just go. You just go do what you do. 244 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: You don't you don't think about it. I'm sure if 245 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: I took time to kind of draw the differences of 246 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, what it was and what it is, you'll 247 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: be able to tell more. But you know, I think 248 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: when you're in the midst of it, you don't have 249 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: time to think about you know, how it was before 250 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: and what it could be. You you just gotta go 251 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: and you gotta make the best of it. So I 252 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: think even now, from going through COVID in those years, 253 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: I think guys already have the mentality let's make the 254 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: best of it, let's try to take advantage of every opportunity. 255 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: And you've seen that, and it seems like we have 256 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: a good team starting to gel and get to know 257 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: each other. And now it's just time to ramp it 258 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: up with you know, the hours and the time that 259 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: we're spending in the building. Stevin, thank you so much 260 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: for joining us today.
