00:00As a member of the 2024 New England Patriots, I think you are uniquely qualified to talk about

00:08something. And that is, how much better do you believe things are culture-wise, accountability-wise,

00:18just functioning as a football team day-to-day now versus where this team was a year ago?

00:24Well, obviously you would have to say there's something. I'm not in there, so I cannot

00:31directly say what that is, but you can't deny that something is going on. And I think they did a good

00:40job. Like, Stephon Diggs, to me, whatever, he could go for 2,000 yards this year. What I've seen from

00:47him on the leadership side, to me, is greater than whatever he'll do on the field.

00:54I'm stunned by it. Not stunned that I didn't believe in it, but you read everything.

00:59You just didn't know what you were getting.

01:00You heard people in the league talk about it. Breers talked about it, where he was unhappy

01:04and this and that. Things didn't work out in Buffalo. It didn't work out in Minnesota. It

01:08didn't work out, obviously, in Houston because he got hurt. He's taking it by the horns and

01:12just taking it to another level.

01:13And I think, to me, the play that, like, I don't know, I loved it was the onside. Him

01:19being in there on the onside kick. Taking that hit. I think it just shows the buy-in.

01:27Just, like, that's a dirty play. Like, you could have had someone else do it instead of

01:32your star receiver, but there he is. I don't know. I just, I love that. So, I think they've

01:37done a good job with the coaching staff, the whole building, some of the vets they've brought

01:43in. I think they've done, you know, a really, really good job. And I think when I looked

01:50at the team, if I was going to say, oh, one worry would be, you know, what is the culture

01:56going to be like? Because you're starting up, like, it was a brand new culture. And they've

02:01done a great job of that.

02:03You still have friends there. You must be hearing good things, though, right? I know

02:06you're not in there, but you must be hearing good things about what's happening.

02:08Yeah, but, like, I also, like, you know, I texted Hunter last week because Ford, we took

02:15Ford to the game, and all he cared about was where Ace's dad was. And, like, you know, it

02:21got annoying almost. And so, I had to, like, text him and be like, dude, like, my son is,

02:27was obsessed, like, trying to figure, and, you know, he'd be like, we're sitting there

02:31looking at him. He'd be like, where is he? I'm like, he's on the sideline. Well, where

02:34on the sideline? And then you're trying to point to a four-year-old, you know, this guy

02:38standing there, which was, made the game interesting. But, I don't know, I just, those guys don't

02:43want to be bothered. I'm not trying to bother. I didn't, you know, I didn't want to be bothered

02:47during the season. That's nice to you. Thanks. Yeah, no, it is.
