Play from 0:00[0:00]" try to spend Richard Seymour is money I. -- it about restaurants that I actually thought. -- from fort. About it okay -- up with that led to now I have no idea for. The rest. The go where it all have proved talk about restaurants and they they sit here they have this lovely Luntz. -- prepared about this Tuesday at his -- Brooklyn. -- they offered so that they offer we did offer we did what it was it would security era and offers some seafood from -- jacked up here Patriot movement. I I said when Richard came and I said that's as Madison senior all year he took on odd man in the -- Let let then. On the replay you could clearly see what Richard was -- I mean not offensive lineman grant your they'll -- and it's punt -- had -- arousal."

Play from 0:56[0:56]" I want to weigh in the same like my face mask them on nick was going to pull him in the opposite direction and the rough on the way out a toll on me. You know you can just look at the game -- here to make calls and make plays -- mean it was just obvious writing your faith in -- play so you know -- the minute."

Play from 1:14[1:14]" So that something happened to Richard Seymour in the offseason something happen. I mean you came in you that you had a conversation with somebody you you. Had a revelation because -- does look like a different player. It looked like different players here I don't know what was. Somebody had that you can tell us what it is."

Play from 1:33[1:33]" I worked out -- Outlet and that that right right. There on the part of that was that when it was just that you've. Do you know help our other our I'm Robert rehab in the last few years yeah retail I mean you can't train you can't get better so. That's madness -- mean. Now everything else that the belief that I mean and change a thing of the -- they would ruining work out and do --"

Play from 1:59[1:59]" Is it is it something that you. I guess when you're healthy at times you -- anybody football player or accountant can take -- you can take your health for granted and and being able. Just to get around the way you want to for granite. Do you appreciate now your health now that it didn't happen for a couple years."

Play from 2:19[2:19]" I'll definitely you you -- you know I think number one -- help. Of myself and also myself on the football team is the most important thing because if you're not helping you that he was -- contributor. Contribute in. You know. Was really were acquired a below the National League football player -- mean it's. You know you kind of hurt the team -- more so these colleges really able to grow and I think you know. In life you go through different obstacles to room to make you better -- make you stronger and sometimes you if you want to be better you have to go through some things some down moments in order to really appreciate their religion that. Full benefit and to maximize. The opportunities when -- though. You know for me being down on him being hurt. -- still it would give the middle Saturday game still able to watch other parts of my game and now that I'm healthy I'm able to still put all of it together and I feel like -- better player now. And even before it hurt."

Play from 3:17[3:17]" I read an article and I think it was The Herald yesterday and and I'm paraphrasing your -- what you basically said was no excuses. Does matter who's -- who isn't healthy we have to go out with whoever's on the field get the job done you gotta win with what you got and basically. I don't want to hear about who's hurt who isn't there's no excuses we got away."

Play from 3:35[3:35]" Right coming -- thing for me. You know -- our football team you know a lot of you can say what Tom is down right news the -- I mean are really like our football team like what was it not like -- teams can. You know -- and looking over us but you know I mean it's not like we're just assume we're in for the Super Bowl you know and I felt like where -- suit because that you know as you know you still got to glad you gotta play the game and that's the that's the most important. I loved -- games like that I love inning games word you know. You're not expected to win or you know people just expect this will you know -- and have a good showing that would be good news you know. They screwed. That. It's showing up and make -- news you know we can all just make it look at him. You know say Wellesley or vehement. Exit -- book you know coming here we come and we period."

Play from 4:32[4:32]" You what you just said -- makes a lot of -- to sit before dale asked this question about going through something tough to make you stronger and to make you better. But as you were going -- Richard did you ever have -- Lack of a better for -- crisis of confidence to do everything. Yourself man I'm just. Maybe I'll never be the player. I was when I made five Robles."

Play from 4:55[4:55]" Well houses come up while I was like well when MI going to help the economy when musical talent turned the corner you know and so that was. More mom mindset at that -- and you know us feel. You know -- still like almost a -- in my abilities that you know when I gave hill because I mean everything else feel good luck -- will rock lift weights I could do of the things -- I just what they were really off the ball and even if I stood up like a library probably should've played middle linebacker. The records I could've stood up. Cattle -- around but to give him stands -- to explode off the ball. And take on guys initiative blockers. You know and changed direction from a down position. That was one of the most difficult things to do come from injured and I hated you know matter for with a different injury Jack I could do a little war. You know given the position that I play. So you know."

Play from 5:51[5:51]" What is it is there's some. -- being up a pro player I'm sure there's a lot of pride in going out there even. When you're not. A 100%. Was that driving you to go out there like on one hand it you could take a seat. On the other hand and come back and play it you know 75% or 70% yourself is that one of the reasons that that you went out there and play."

Play from 6:17[6:17]" Let you know -- to be honest a lot of times I thought about while my even out here. You know. You know this you know it's a tough call especially when you're -- it is something that you love to do. In Iraq have you watched myself on film you know where you know wasn't really. Being explosive could really wrong like I wanted to and you know I started to get criticism it's. You know I'm -- you know what it woes and you know -- would you don't do it definitely you know so locked up or else your little moles -- thing is the you know. When you're out there. You'd be in you know criticized as if you aren't you proceeded to win -- relived that so you know animals toughest things to -- waited and you know. Still fight you know a fourth through it and like -- you know you know keep my. -- gave him keep everything away from all the foolishness in the nonsense and you know. You know -- semi quarter then you know Hawaii for a home et cetera you know who missed most of them you know and always had confidence in me and I confidence in myself and you know just a learning experience really in him. You know."

Play from 7:31[7:31]" That's that's sort of taken so as I said the deal before versus some guys don't go out there when they're hurt. Because they don't want to be embarrassed. Yeah so -- and their guys go out there and say look even 80% I'm going to give everything I have where's. We know in football baseball basketball some guys won't play unless they're a 105%."

Play from 7:54[7:54]" Maybe that's always tough to do a finger now. The it's it's a little strange cliche -- I thought maybe wait. Like stuff like that you can his -- the -- you know make an out and then but it can't take them you know who things like. And you -- And it's also -- difference between injured via her. You know -- Mortal in the middle."

Play from 8:24[8:24]" Double fault you know so. Coach just look at tapes they look at films they make studies they say they know who they're playing against. Did you find teams were approaching you differently when you were playing but not a 100%. Then when their approaching you now when you're out there looking like you know five time pro -- are they are they approaching you differently in the game plan as well."

Play from 8:47[8:47]" White jacket or even when I'm on the line I can here where -- You know. Where are you reveal those players you know Miyazaki talent to win the Colombian go to the door. Got different blocking schemes are they doing different things on the offensive line so. You know -- us there when I was there when they would really come off and do some things I would normally be it would do."

Play from 9:13[9:13]" Michael -- told the story about how at training -- whenever it is a lot of times though when Andre Tippett will speak to the team. And they'll show the footage the famous Johnny -- footage. Where he throws the -- through the quarterback that you -- its record that you didn't that you did that Yasser Arafat you throw an offensive linemen through the quarterback yesterday."

Play from 9:32[9:32]" It always through -- into. You know get hits on the quarterback you know prevails. You know coming into the game when you can going to a football game and you know quote that was a few things that we needed to be successful and when you can try to go out and in particular point you -- yourself and and so -- Implement goals things you know feels good. One group. Issues for its woes he -- concerned if we get off to a fast or you know get some hits early on the -- today. Could you know he's a smaller guy in the pocket and going to quarterback dispute hit. I mean it is gonna look around again you know throwing the ball quick and things like that so it's always good at the defensive lineman."

Play from 10:12[10:12]" That's. I'll stop the Roland. Just the rest depends on the idea that the death just threw it Olerud left little room -- A -- am told we gotta get two out of here you get stuff you've got to do. I am a Republican out for you we consider we can talk forever. Great theory that you congratulations on the win yesterday but that restaurant and some more I. Don't make tickets of -- ago through a demanding how -- I -- double plays to spend your money you know that it is they it."
