0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:02.240
<v Speaker 1>He had a new guy that was kind of thrown

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>in there too, right, this guy a couple of days ago.

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, yeah, Brett, we were talking. He did a

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>great job. You know, for him to come in. You know,

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>he didn't he didn't pass out in college, and so

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>for him to come in and play like he did

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that was that was Also it was really impressive for

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>him to come and do that. So I was happy

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>for him. What about the Nate, how did her hand

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>old center? I mean, it seems like he's done pretty well. Yeah,

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>he played, right, He's done it really well. I didn't

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>know he hadn't played until last week when somebody told

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>me that. But uh, he's done really well, and uh

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>it's cool to see him continue to get better. He

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>snapped it too. Oh yeah, jeezus should ask enough for you.

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, but did this at all? What did

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>this remind you? Like, all these different guys kind of

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>rolling in there. I don't know if it reminded me

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>of anything, but but I think for all of us,

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>he's good to get in there and get game reps

0:00:54.600 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>um and and play for sixty minutes. Again. I try

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to take it one play at the time and make

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the best out of that play. So what were you

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>pleased with throughout the course of the preseason that you

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>did and what are some of the things that concerned you. Yeah,

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was more involved than you know

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>in terms of special teams. So I was glad that

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I was able to get in and get those reps

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>in kind of see where I'm at and see where

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>my game is at. So I would say that was

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>my biggest UM area that I was I was I

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>was proud of to improve in UM just being versatile,

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>adding you know, not just being good at one thing,

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>being able to you know, have to first game in

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>my game. So I thought that was pretty good getting

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>better at just UM, continuing to continue to you know,

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 1>have a mindset of counting it downhill, and uh, you know,

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>being more aggressive. I think that was something that I

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>did a good job of working on as we got

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, through our practices, and I'm going to continue

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to work on. You had to go through the waiting

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>games just a year ago. Yeah, this time around, is

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>it easier to him goals? Are you more relaxed about

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the situation or is it just as as tense as

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it was a season Again, I think just with that experience,

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I know how this thing goes. I know that it's

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna be some tough decisions made, but also know that,

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, my opportunity is gonna come wherever that may be.

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, having that experience, knowing, you know, when

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you get that to take advantage of, gives me a

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit more confidence. Um. You know, I'm blessed to

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>be a part of this organization east and every day.

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Um and if it's not here, it's gonna be somewhere.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>So just continue just to stay focused on what I

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>can control and take advantage of any opportunity that's given

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to them. You cannon for Joel, Finally that you were

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 1>going to show up on the pads coming do you

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>thank you you did that and show up that you

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>can be a physical player. Yeah, yeah, you know, I

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>played my game and you know, just you know, just

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>did my assignments, did my job and when the plays

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>come to you gotta make them. And yeah, I feel like,

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, didn't mess a lot of tackles, miss you know,

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fits. And that's kind of what happens

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 1>in the Pats one year. You gotta be able to

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>fit the ride. And you know, I'll be able to

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>make tackles one on one and up in space, and

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I did that pretty well for these last

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>four games. You kind of left a known quantity up

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>in Canada for a little known um. Did you think

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>of it as a risk or you know, I mean

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.839
<v Speaker 1>you knew there was security up there. I guess, yeah,

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I guess one of the few people that

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>knows you'll be playing for water Shore. I think you know,

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>no one does sign me and that happens. Uh, there's

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>nine teams in the CFL that I think I would

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>love to have me and I know one Swecia Calgary.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>But you know, really enjoy have mechnics. So to have

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that is, you know, it's very special to be able

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to have kind of a whole country behind you just

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of supporting you, and then if things don't work out,

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, welcoming you back and think, you know, not

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys have the opportunity, but you'd rather

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>be here, Yeah, I would. You know, I'd rather not

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>have my phone ring this weekend and just prepared for

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Washington on Monday. What's sat are you gonna be like

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>for you? What set are gonna be like for you long,

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think you know I did everything I could.

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I think your time is these this last six weeks,

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the last you know, six months. I guess you could say.

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's now, it's just, you know, a waiting game.

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I put my best report, and that's

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>all you can ask for from yourself. I'm confident with

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>how I played and just let the chips follow the club.

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>If it came down to practice club versus Canada, how

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>would you with it? Yeah, we'll see when. We'll see

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>if that happens. When then decided to
