We heard yesterday it was 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: a great practice. Was do you feel like you're building 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 2: some good momentum to Sunday? 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: Yes, we are, because we are doing what we're supposed 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: to do, day in day out. We're making each other better, 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: you know, the whole same Iron Shoppers Iron. We're doing 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: my things to make sure that everybody is accountable and 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: moving forward. And we just come to practice every day 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: with the goal to get back and that's what we're doing, 11 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: and we're improving every day. That's pretty much. 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: It your career. 13 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: Where do you see your first road games? You know, 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: teams who can withstand the the warlike atmosphere of the 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: opponent stadium. Uh, teams who can come together, uh play 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: will under pressure, ignore all the outside noise and atmosphere 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: and just focus on the main goal, which is winning 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: and and doing your job. And that's what I said, Okay, 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: it was It's truth exactness. He's a great quarterback that 20 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: scrambles around in the pocket, very quick, quick, quick release, 21 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: So we got to make sure we keep him in 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: the pocket and make sure he doesn't make his targets. 23 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: The Jets have been asked about losing fourteen games in 24 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: a row to the Patriots, and they're talking of taking 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 2: they're taking some motivation from that pass to the path. 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: But both time they win, and now's the time the 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 2: Patriots might be the team to do it against. Now, 28 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: how do you how are you feeling about that streak? 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: You know, the only thing that we focus on is 30 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: as Patriots is just pretty much doing what we're supposed 31 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: to do in and out. It's less about who we're 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: playing and it's more about what we do we get 33 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: on the field. So whatever whatever team we're playing, however 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: they want to motivate themselves, they can do that, that's 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: that's cool. But as Patriots, we we want to make 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: sure we go out there do what we're supposed to do. 37 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: Make the catches, make the throws, make the tackles, make 38 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: the catches, whatever it is the field goals, do what's 39 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: supposed to do, play in and play out, and make 40 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: sure that each drive is a successful drive and that's 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: all you're supposed to do. 42 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: You guys are motivated because you're looking to be your 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: first wins. 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we are aware of our record, but 45 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: whether it was owing to and two and no, we 46 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: we always have to come back next week, focus on 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: getting a W and that's it. 48 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 2: Against the last six years, how would. 49 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: You describe when you said like me personally or like 50 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: the team? 51 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: Again, when you think about your games against the. 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: Es, how would you describe things? Really very competitive? Close 53 00:02:53,160 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: games or very competitive games? That's it? 54 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: Interest just wondering what's maybe different this over? 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: He sorry, what's different this week? You're prepared for the 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: first game against the Eagles and the second against the Dolphins. 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: Does anything feel different now as you go into week three? 58 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: Because I think a lot of guys made it thought 59 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 2: they were prepared for those first two games despite the 60 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: fact that the way they end. 61 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: So how can I say this? Oftentimes when the result 62 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: isn't where you want it to be, people start to 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: change up stuff or feel like their preparation isn't good 64 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: enough or whatever it is. But as I played this 65 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: game for seven years and even even before the league, 66 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: I realize you're gonna have ups and downs in your career. 67 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: But as long as you know that your preparation and 68 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: you feel confident in your preparation, and you're prepared day in, 69 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: day out, the result is the result. But I guess 70 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say is the more you prepare, 71 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: you'll eventually get the result that you want to get. 72 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: Don't change up all because it didn't work one time, 73 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: we didn't work in sound, Keep working, keep going. Soone's 74 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: like we have a staying in there called like one say, 75 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: it's the bamboo tree where it takes such a long 76 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: time for to finally pop out of the ground, but 77 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: then within five weeks it shoots up. Or like water 78 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: that jips on rock, that first rock, that first drip 79 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: there and break the rock. That second thing to break 80 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: the rock, but over time and over time that rock 81 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: cracks in half and next thing, you know, it's two rocks. 82 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 1: So like, just keep on grinding and keep on working, 83 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: we'll get to where we need to go and the 84 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: outcome will be exactly what we want to be. 85 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: So hard to be sort of process driven that way 86 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: in a league where you know, it feels like it's 87 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: a results based business. 88 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: Right, So as players, we wake up every day with 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: a y and a purpose and that's what drives uh 90 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: our wi we play the game and the purpose behind 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: me We play the game and then on top of that, 92 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: playing for our teammates, playing for five brothers, our coaches, 93 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: and then also our team fan base and sets on. 94 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: So yes, we want to get wins.
