1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Devin, Um, what do you have to say about what

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: you're The twenty nineteen Patriots defense accomplished throughout the season

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: and throughout the second half of this game, even though

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: the season didn't exactly end the way you wanted to tonight. UM.

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll look back and there were

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: some good things. Obviously, we did some good things. UM,

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: my tenth year. It's hard. It's it's hard to look

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: past the last game when you don't finish how you want.

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: And this was the season. We did some things well.

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: We we played well in the second half. We didn't

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: give up you know, any points or whatever. Um, But

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: we just we needed to make a few more plays

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: tonight and we didn't. So UM, I'm sure in a

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and you know, probably years to come,

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: you know understand how you know special the team the

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: defense was. UM. But I always say, you know, teams

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: aren't special unless you win the last game of the year.

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: And if you don't, UM, it's cool. Memories, the bonds

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: will always be there. I love these guys in this

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: locker room. I've been here ten years. I've seen guys grow.

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: I've grown as a man being here and It's been

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: an honor to be a Patriot and play with these guys.

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: But we just felt short today, and you know that's

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: just a sour taste right now. Devin. On that note,

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: have you given any thought to your future beyond tonight?

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: We'll see, it'll work itself out. I definitely seen me

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: playing football next year. I've had a lot of fun

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: to share these group of guys. Each year we get

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: young guys in here. I get to stay in the

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: locker room, mold these guys, tell them stories of you know,

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: my past ten years and how much fun of has

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: So I can't see it happened to me not playing

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: football next year. So I think over time, you know,

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: take some time away from football, and I think the

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: wrestler kind of work itself out. We'll see how that goes.

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: But I definitely plan to be playing. I've definitely given

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: the fact that your situation is uncertain. Time situation is

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: uncertain whether or not he's coming back. What was the

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: mood like as you guys rallied around each other after

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: the after the game for one final time. Um, it's

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: always the same, you know, this is it's like a

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: crash landing man. It's you know, you got all your

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: hopes you're playing and you know it's one game at

44
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: a time. But you know, everybody that makes the playoffs,

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: you want to play well, you want to advance, and

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: that's what you see. You know how you how you

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: view everything, You view everything with playing well and winning

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: in advancing, and when you don't, it's just it's just over,

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: just like that. So, um, you know we've been very

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: fortunate here, you know, to make it far in these playoffs. Um,

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: but we've had this feeling before and this feeling is

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: no different. Man. It's it sucks. Like there's no way

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: to explain or tell it to you, whether you're under

54
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: contract in the future if you're not, Like, I don't

55
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: care about any of that in this moment. It just sucks. Devin,

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: just going back to tonight and how big was it

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: losing Patrick Chung so earlier in the game. Yeah, I

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: mean he's one of our key players. You know it

59
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: was you know, we were already playing without jamatt Um

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: and then losing Pat. You know, Pat's always an integral

61
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: part of our defensive playing um, and you know, we

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: lose him and guys just have to rotate and fill

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: the different roles he has so um, you know, we've

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: had to play play without him a couple of times

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: this year. So um, you know, guys were able to

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: do it. But he's Pat's a great player. And whenever

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: you don't have good players out there, UM, it's always tougher. Um.

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: But this team, we battle, We fought. Um, you know,

69
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: no excuses, you know, but you know, I love I've

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: been out there with Pat, you know, for most of

71
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: my career. So um, being able to play with him

72
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: out there, and you know, whether I was a corner

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: or safety, Um, it's just been a lot of fun

74
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: playing with him. So losing him tonight in a big game,

75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: it always sucks. Devin. You guys have played in so

76
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: many of these games, and you've won so many of

77
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: these games, close, all the way through the fourth quarter,

78
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: even when things aren't going well, even when it feels

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: like it's kind of slipping away. Do you still expect

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: to win? Is it kind of an odd feeling when

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: you don't win a game like this. Yeah, but I

82
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: think everyone does. I know, since we've won a lot,

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: I think the outside looking in everyone, I think everyone

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: feels like we expect to win, and other teams don't

85
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: you know. I think everyone expects to win, especially you

86
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: talk about throughout the game. It was fourteen thirteen, you know,

87
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they expected to win it, just like

88
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: we did. We talk about a one point game and

89
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: when it came down to it, they made the key

90
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: plays to win the game, and we did it. And

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's what it is in the playoffs. You know,

92
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: all these games, you know tomorrow, next week, they'll all

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: be the same. It'll be whatever team makes a few

94
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: key plays to win the game. And that's how to

95
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: go because all these teams are good right now and

96
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: everyone's fighting to survive. Two questions. First, you start the

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: season eight now, defending Super Bowl champs. Things are looking great,

98
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: T shirts, boogey man, everything looks like it's and then

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: you've Ben Baltimore happens. And then since then it was

100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: I think four and five the last nine games. In

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: your mind, what happened from part one to part two

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: of the season. Uh, We've had to happen before. And

103
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: it's not a good way to finish the season. Um,

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: we just didn't get it done. You know, I think

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: each game kind of played different, but kind of played

106
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: the same. When you looked at our performance, you know,

107
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: no matter what the teams did against us, you know,

108
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: it felt like our performance and you know, the way

109
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: we played was very similar. And I'm sure when we

110
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: when we look at this game, it'll be kind of similar. Um,

111
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: you know, not complimenting each other. You know, us getting

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: to stop or and our offense not being able to

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: convert our offense having a big drive in, you know,

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: us being able to go three and out or get

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: a turnover to kind of get things rolling for us.

116
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: And when you look at all the games were at

117
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: times in the game we had a chance. You know,

118
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: you talk about Baltimore, we get a key turnover, they score,

119
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: it kind of made the game out. But at that

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: point where it was a close game, Houston, it was

121
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: back and forth. They make a couple of deep throws.

122
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: It kind of ends that, you know, with Kansas City,

123
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: we're back and forth. You know, they convert a drive,

124
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: we don't. You know. Then the games over Miami, they

125
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: scoring a last play with thirty something seconds. So I

126
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: think you take from that day. We're always in the game,

127
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: but we got to find a way. Years we've won,

128
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: we've been in a similar type of games, but we

129
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: found ways to win, and we was able to do

130
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: it Saturday night against Buffalo. That was a game that

131
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: was very similar to a lot of the games, but

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: we made the plays to win, and when you don't,

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: it's just a sour taste. And I think that's what

134
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: happened for us to back half of the year. We

135
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: just didn't make the plays to win the game. And

136
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, the early half of the year we didn't

137
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: have that. We had a lot of blowouts, we had

138
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: games that wasn't as close, but we knew the whole year.

139
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Bill talks about it all the time. Big games come

140
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 1: down to two minute drives offense and our defense either

141
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: having to score or having to get a stop, and

142
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: we didn't do that enough this year. Devin Um. Obviously,

143
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: it was a pretty well balanced offense for the Titans

144
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: coming into this game, and it looked like you guys

145
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: made some changes in the second half to slow down

146
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: their running game. But I'm wondering, was the early portion

147
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: of the game was your focus to keep that passing

148
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: offense sort of in check. You know, we saw a

149
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of two high safeties and it's just curious if

150
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: that was part of the plan. No, we always have

151
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: different ways to attack. But I would say every game

152
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: we go into we try to make the game one dimensional.

153
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: We try to shut down a run. Um. You know,

154
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: we just had different ways of trying to get there. Um.

155
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, we we knew their play action was key.

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: So um even sometimes it looked like too high, we

157
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: were dropping down in it. We knew there were a

158
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: team Tannehill's a smart guy. They've played against us. We

159
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: didn't want to just line up in things and make

160
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: it easy, but we knew we had to stop the run.

161
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: And you know, even when we got stops, we didn't

162
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: do it enough. You know, some drives when we're able

163
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: to get them in third and you know five of

164
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: plus we were able to play well. But when we didn't,

165
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: they were able to make some plays and you know

166
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: that that created long drives which we couldn't get off

167
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: the field. So amazing run for you for ten years,

168
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: four super Bowls in five years, I think three in

169
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: a row heading into this season. In looking back, this

170
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: isn't the time obviously to do a lot of waxing poetic,

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: but it is pretty amazing. What have you guys been

172
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: able to do to be so consistent at an elite,

173
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: elite level for so long, and then maybe it just

174
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: wasn't able. You weren't able to do it this year.

175
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: But what have you been able to do to do

176
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: it for so long? Just hard work, man. I look

177
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: across in that locker room. We got a lot of

178
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: guys that I feel are like myself, man, just humbled,

179
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: hard working guys coming out of high school. I've said

180
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: up plenty of times, one offer. You know, I think

181
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: we have so many guys with chips on our shoulder

182
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: that come into this league, you know, starting with our

183
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: best player, Barrady six rounder, and so many guys that

184
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: just want to grind and and get better and try

185
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: to be the best we can be. And I look

186
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: over my ten years, you know that's what it was,

187
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, coming here as a rookie and having great success.

188
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: Then you know not as well the second year. Um,

189
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: but just continue to fight and try to get better. Um.

190
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: This is a close knit group of guys in that

191
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: locker room. And UM, you guys know we get written

192
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: about all the time, good or bad. You know, it's

193
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: always something about the Patriots, and um, this group is close.

194
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: We've always stuck together. We've always had each other's back, UM,

195
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: and I think that that's giving us a chance to

196
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: have success. You know, we worried about just the guys

197
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: inside this this meeting room when we come in here

198
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: each and every morning, that's what we worried about. We

199
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: worry about going and winning, sacrificing for our family. UM.

200
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: And that's just the way it is here and no

201
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: matter who's here, that won't stop. UM. Incredible leadership from

202
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: mister Kraft to Coach Belichick just all the way down.

203
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: So it's it's been an honor to be here in

204
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: a suit up for ten ten years and do that UM,

205
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: and then to be a leader. You know, I've never

206
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: kind of thought myself to be that way. And now

207
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: looking back ten years off here of being a leader

208
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: and trying to lead you know, group of men. UM,

209
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: it's been tough, but it's been incredible honor, Devin. And

210
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: you can't speak for the man himself. And obviously we

211
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: know this is a business, but Tom has been here

212
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: for twenty years. For the better part of the last

213
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: nineteen he's been the quarterback. His future is in question.

214
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm just curious your interactions with him this year and

215
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: if you see a man he was going to continue

216
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: to play football, and do you think that would be here?

217
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: I just was in here when he was talking. Um,

218
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't know his future. That's really on him. But

219
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: I will say from my second year of being able

220
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: to be a captain and sitting in those meetings and

221
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: just hearing how he looks at the game, not just

222
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: from a quarterback position but overall the game, and hearing

223
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: his input each week when we got ready to go

224
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: on Friday mornings, taught me a lot as a leader.

225
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: Taught me a lot, you know, from just the understanding

226
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: the game of football and how he looked at the

227
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: game and the dedication and the preparation he put in

228
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: out To learn that from, you know, Friday mornings at

229
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: seven am for nine years straight, I got to do that,

230
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: And just the conversations I've had with him throughout the

231
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: years has made me a better player. So it's hard

232
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: to imagine time not playing football. It's hard to imagine

233
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: I'm not playing here, Um, But like you just said,

234
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: the business of football is what it is. But no

235
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: matter what, you know, my ten years here to be

236
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: able to learn from him and go against him and

237
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: from time to time intercepting him in practice has made

238
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: me a way better player, and I've appreciated everything he's

239
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: done for me and trying to help me out along

240
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: the way. Devin. Last year, of course, you celebrated your

241
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: third title with your brother Jason, adding to the deep

242
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: disappointment of this loss in the ending of this season.

243
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: How disappointing personally was it as well what Jason experienced

244
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: late in the year, the injury problems and not being

245
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: out there today with you. That's tough, man, um. Uh.

246
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: He's been doing everything possible, uh, to try to get

247
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: out there, and he's done a lot of things that

248
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: you know aren't the easiest things to do, to go

249
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: through pain to try to get back out there. And

250
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: he went out there against Kansas City, then try to

251
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: take a week off and do some things and get

252
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: back out there against Buffalo, and it just didn't go

253
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: his way this year, um. And I could see the

254
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: frustration on his face as he stayed in it, you know,

255
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: supporting each one of us, m being really a coach

256
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: on the sideline, but how much you wanted to be

257
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: out there tonight, And he said it to me, it's

258
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: just it's just frustrating, Um. But you know, I've learned

259
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: a lot from him, even though I'm the older brother. Uh,

260
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: just how much he puts into it, you know, throughout

261
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: his career um of just hard work and playing on

262
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: some teams that didn't do well. And I know it

263
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: sucks for him, you know, he's been a huge impact

264
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: on this team from last year and this year, so um,

265
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: not having him out there it hurt, especially personally for

266
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: me how much fun we've had the last two years.

267
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: But like we talked about earlier, you can't take that

268
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: away from us. Has been an incredible journey. Two guys

269
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: win in the high school one hundred and twenty pounds,

270
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, being able to play ten ten plus year

271
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: in this in this league has been a lot of fun. Devin.

272
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: You know in your ten years here that every team

273
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: is different, Every year is different. It's turnover every year.

274
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: As a captain and someone who's close in that locker room,

275
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: do you get a sense though that this year there

276
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: are more question marks, There is potential for more turnover,

277
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: more turmoil as you head into the next season than

278
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: there has been in the past. Yeah. Probably because a

279
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: lot of the guys are older now. I mean a

280
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: lot of guys that have been here for a while.

281
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: We've been here for a while, you know, Slate twelve years,

282
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Tom twenty, myself, ten High Tower, eight jewels at like Chungle, Like,

283
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: we've had guys that have been here what you usually

284
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: don't see on teams where we've had a lot of

285
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: guys m stay here for years. You know, Nate Ebner

286
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: has been here for eight years during harm In seven years, Like,

287
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of guys stay and play here

288
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: for a lot of years. Cannon, you know, another guy

289
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: nine years. So I think as you have a core

290
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: group of guys that you know are now thirty plus,

291
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: you know that always this question marks are we gonna

292
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: be as good? Are? You know? Are we are we

293
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: gonna retire? Like all those questions continuously come up, and

294
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: I think it's important for all of us to just

295
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: take some time away and be with our families, m

296
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: and figure out the situation going forward, just like I

297
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: know the Patriots will do the same thing. But it's

298
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: been fun. Man. We got a good group of guys,

299
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: and Slay said it the best after the game. You know,

300
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: this doesn't define us. We've had a good group. We've

301
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: had some very good runs, great runs and we just

302
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: got to hold our heads up and get ready for

303
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: whatever the future holds. Appreciate it,
