Um, I mean, 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: it's as big of a compliment as you can get 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: from someone because everyone knows that Um Bills the man. 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: He's done it for so long, He's done it the 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: right way. He's just a true football coach who focuses 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 1: on coaching and um does it as good as anyone ever. 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: Has so m tons of respect for him, like everyone 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: um I think in the world has for him Christmas 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: with Matt Vibe up here, I just wanted to ask 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: you about the conversations you're just talking about what coach 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: Belichick you guys had before the Jimmy trade went down. 17 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: I remember if Sean Lynch saying that he spoke really 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: like highly of Jimmy. What do you remember about those conversations. UM, 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've said at all before. I 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: just um, I mean, we went through the process. I 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: know Bill was a big fan, and um, it's I 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: mean enjoy talking to him about it helped me out 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: with stuff, stuff that probably stayed between Bill and I. 24 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: But um, he was a great guy to deal with. 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: It's it's always hard to get trades done, but when 26 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: you when you deal with someone who's um, just about 27 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: football and pretty simple and everything else, it's easy to 28 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: get stuff done. And that's why it's really fun dealing 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: with someone like Bill when you're trying to, um, make 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: two teams better. Is there anything that you've learned about 31 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy over the last year, I mean, or over the 32 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years that you weren't Um, I mean 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: I didn't know a ton about Jimmy before we got him, 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: you know. I mean I remember the draft process, but 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: he hadn't played a lot of games, So I mean 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I knew how talented he was through the draft process 37 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: and the three games or whatever he had played in 38 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: at the time. Um, and then just what you hear 39 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: about people. So, UM, yeah, I've learned a lot being 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: together with him for a little over three years. We've 41 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: only really gotten one season together, you know, since he 42 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: came in towards the end of our first year, and 43 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: then he towards ACL and the third game is second 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,839 Speaker 1: year and last year was our first season and it's 45 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: a real fun season together. Um, he's able to stay 46 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: healthy the whole year, had a hell of a year. 47 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: Enjoyed him as a player and enjoy him as a 48 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: person too, and expect him to just keep getting better 49 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: the more he's here and them the more he stays healthy. 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: Have you seen him grow as a leader over that time? Uh? Yeah, 51 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I think he came in 52 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: and definitely knew how to act as a leader. You know, 53 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: he's probably had watched one of the best ever do 54 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: it for the few years he was in Um, New England. 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: He also was around the best coach ever the whole 56 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: time he was in there, and a system that really 57 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: helps teach people how to be pros. So when he 58 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: came here, I mean he was he knew how to act. 59 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: It was very easy. It was great. But I think 60 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: the longer you're around a place, the more you get 61 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: to know people on a personal level, and the more 62 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: people get to know him. And when you're a good player, 63 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: and um, you're also a good leader. But then the 64 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: more people get to know you as a person and stuff, 65 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: I feel like that stuff only gets stronger. Thanks anybody else, 66 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: all right, folks, Thanks all right, Thanks you guys.
