Bill spoke after game about 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: how he was pleased with the team came back from 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,239 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks where there's uh, the results are 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,159 Speaker 1: a little bit of what down he speak about the 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: turnaround you guys had come back from the two losses 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: and putting it together on Sunday, Well, we won the game. 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: Um no, I'll answer your question. I think it's just 9 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: getting down to the nitty gritty of playing put Patriot football. 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: Excuse me. Um, we obviously had a couple of letdown 11 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: games and disappointing offensively, defensively, and special teams who played 12 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: complimentary football, and we fed off the juice of one another, 13 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: and we just got to sustain that. We got to 14 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: keep that each and every week. We got to do 15 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: it all the time. And we gotta just play a 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: brand of football we know we're capable of playing. We 17 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: just gotta do it each and every week. Chris, your 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: son Eagans come and say hello, Tell him, don't beach 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: ot I ran away. Now you scared him.

Yeah, 21 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: And next question, Chris Ryan, Hey, Kyle, just making the 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: playoffs this year given how the team started, obviously weren't 23 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: here last year, but you know how things went here 24 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: last year. What does that mean for this for this group? 25 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: Does it feel like a bigger accomplishment than making the playoffs? 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: Who usually is per group? Yeah? I mean that's always 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: the goal anytime you can make the playoffs. A lot 28 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: of people would have said we weren't, you know, but 29 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: because we had a rookie quarterback. So you know, everyone 30 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: puts expectations, but we have our own expectations and our 31 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: own how and we hold each other to a high 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: standard here and that's all around. You know, that's coaches 33 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: included in that. We're all held to a high standard 34 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: and we want to reach those as best as possible. 35 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: And we're excited about it. But you know, we're gonna 36 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: play the odds out and we gotta go in and 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: win against Miami. You mentioned the rookie quarterback, m What 38 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: have stood out to you about the way he has 39 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: played this year and managed games and the type of 40 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: work ethic he has had. Looking at him from your 41 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: side of the ball, I everybody that that question gets 42 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: asked everybody every week and I just diddle at what 43 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: everybody else is saying. He works hard and he's one 44 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: of the guys. He's doing a good job. That's right. 45 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Next question Jim McBride, Hey, Kyle, Happy New Year. Same Jim. Thanks, 46 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: so a bit of a strange question here for you. 47 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: I was watching the Tip and watching Trent Brown pulling 48 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: on a couple of those toss plays yesterday, and what 49 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: is it like for for you guys as defenders when 50 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: you see those big tackles and guards pulling out there 51 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: in in you know, in in open space and they're 52 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: leading the rushes. What's it kind of a mindset for 53 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: you guys? And I know you guys don't have to 54 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: face but yeah, for me, you know, I can't. I 55 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: can't get a bullied into trance, So I can't say 56 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: for me, but you know, maybe for a Dby it 57 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: would be a that's a that's not a good that's 58 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: not a good you know, that's not a good one 59 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: on one matchup. But I'll take Trent any day. I 60 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: think Trent's a really good player. Since he's been back, 61 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: he's elevated the team and the offense, and you know, 62 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: happy for a Trent He's a really good player, all right. 63 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: He can even play even better. That's what's great is 64 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: he still has another level. I think he can go. 65 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: He's that type of player and has a special talent. 66 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: But anytime you get him out on a polling play, 67 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: it's special just to see him move and it's impressive. 68 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: He can really move and he has no problems change 69 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: in directions with dvs trying to you come in space. 70 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: He's able to get hands on him, control of the 71 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: block and spring plays. It's it's really impressive. Thanks Kyle, 72 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: And next question Tom Lyndon place Kyle Hopebo as well. 73 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: What's up, Tommy boy, I'm doing all right. Twenty twenty 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: two hopefully serves as well. So, yeah, I'm looking around 75 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: the standings and I can't get over how many teams 76 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: are hovering right around that, you know, seven nine, eight, 77 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: eight nine and seven ten and six marked more so 78 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: than ever. Do you look around the league and I 79 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: don't you just be a team fifty to ten, But say, 80 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: anybody can beat anybody in this league, and it really 81 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: is more wide open than ever. For sure. I'm right 82 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: there with you. I think it comes down to who's 83 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna play the best during January and doesn't doesn't matter 84 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: what you do in the regular season. As long as 85 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: you get your chance into the tournament, anything can happen. 86 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: You gotta play the game. Um, but we're I'm not 87 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: going to focus on the playoffs. Just yeah, I still 88 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: want to get down to play Miami. You know, that's 89 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: what's on our team's mind and that's what's on my mind. 90 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: So we just gotta get gear up from Miami and 91 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're gonna be pissed off about their loss 92 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: and try to take it to us. And next question, 93 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: Tara Sullivan, Hey Kyle, happy new year. Um, I hope 94 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: you will indulge one more rookie question, but I wanted 95 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: to flip it from the defensive perspective. We know coach 96 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: Belichick's record is phenomenal against rookie quarterbacks. So from a 97 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: defensive perspective, what is the advantage when you're, you know, 98 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: a defensive when you're against a rookie quarterback? And maybe 99 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: just to flip that, have you noticed or how have 100 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: you noticed that you know Mac has has kind of 101 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: navigated that part of it pretty well. Cool. That's good, 102 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: That's a good question, Tara, and happy new year. I 103 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: think playing under Bill Belichick, knowing how he goes into 104 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: every week, is always a challenge for quarterbacks. So you've 105 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: heard a lot, You've heard veteran quarterback say that throughout 106 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: the years, from the best ever to play in Tom 107 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: like he's given problems to Tom. So that being said, 108 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: I can't imagine being a rookie. But Max done a 109 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 1: really good job. His read progressions great, He's a great player. 110 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch him grow in his career. You know, 111 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: it's fun to have you know, I'm glad I'm his team. 112 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: He's fun to be around as um. Just yesterday his 113 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: energy was awesome coming up to the defense. Just being 114 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: a good team player, a good teammate. If you had 115 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: a vote for Rookie of the Year, would you give 116 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: it to him? Of course, and we do. The final question, 117 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: was it strange at all for you looking at the 118 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: Patriots from the outside last year and seeing especially toward 119 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: the end of the year, seeing them not in the 120 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: playoff situation? And does it feel like sort of no, 121 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: because I wasn't here. No, So for you, now that 122 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: you're here, everybody was saying it was Tom, What about me? 123 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: Doesn't feel like it's the things are, the standard has 124 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: been has been resurrected, that the things are are, the 125 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: Patriots are are kind of back where you're supposed to 126 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: be again, and and for you having that unique situation 127 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: being away from it the one year it didn't happen, 128 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: was it weird to watch? Honestly, To be typically honest, 129 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: I was worried about myself. I was not worried about 130 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: what anything else was going on in the world. I 131 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: was dealing with my own stuff last year, So honestly, 132 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: I did not care. But I'm in my current situation 133 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: right now and we're in the playoffs, and that's all 134 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: that matters. I wasn't really worried about those type of 135 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: things last year with the Patriots. But I'm on the 136 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: team now and I'm just grateful for the opportunity to 137 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But ultimately, I'm honestly, folks to Miami, 138 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm really excited for the challenge down there. I think 139 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna come out and play hard, and we're gonna 140 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: play hard, and it's gonna be a good four twenty 141 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: five start game for you as an older guy and 142 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: seeing I don't say that yet, well as a as 143 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: a wiser guy.

I actually 156 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: truly enjoy people having success because I've been there and 157 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: I haven't had success sometimes in my life and I've 158 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: had success, so, um, I know what that feels like. 159 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: And it's a joy for me to see guys that 160 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: haven't made the playoff.

Things can happen in the standings in our 168 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: control and without our control. And what we can control 169 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: is going down to Miami and playing good ball and 170 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: try to get a win there. Thank you.
