Tank Williams

Joining us on the line right now was one of the newest members of the New England Patriots signed in this offseason formerly of the Minnesota Vikings. Tank Williams is on the line tank it's -- Michael how -- Of the over the united have as. Mad -- we're fired up we have enough sports discussion here that we we'd love to have you instant you know take some calls -- this -- that I didn't. People -- fired up.

And an editor at a table about the cup the last little bit others and I don't think it is.

There we get into it and let let's say welcome to New England first of all. It and it and secondly I expect no. What was the process like -- were you recruited by the patriots they call your agent did you call them how did you. Come to be a New England Patriots it.

I was this sort of thing you know both butler -- others back into the thing about definite incumbent in then. Self fulfillment is that the back and -- that went environment you know -- in the -- last -- you know from the entry into it and say if you haven't it will.

You know the question everybody asks and after the patriots asked is where yet physically because you've had some issues in the past.

They. Yeah this they aren't I it is -- whose side you're ready for the.

They tank I saw this is maybe an odd question but it does blow my mind. You went to Stanford and the class with a pretty famous. Famous citizen Chelsea clash with satellite.

Newfound rhythm and you know through the that was the movement you know we're going to have a Secret Service. In the fact that if you in the back credibility around about it called captain well. Thirty I don't know little boxes on the negative but this is it was well. I mean necessity -- camp and they could jump when games let -- a trade I don't.

But yet you have a Secret Service at it this is statistics class right. -- there a secret that where they're trying to blend in class like --

It's kind of presented itself to whether or by the reclusive wary of but it of course among -- it is. That would -- away.

girl probably never had a date nobody would dare even yes.

I mean few well me should be at the party -- in relation to limit their influence and about. Two security he deserves this award. Since he has surveys and other satellite out though but it is a minute but it went in.

Take -- wonder what you feel like your. Your strength is that the safety of and there are certain guys who play the run very well in in the and they. Hang their hats on that there -- other guys who like the wrong what do you think you're stretches there.

I'm not sure that they're both you know Olympic -- say is that the same panel station I think I was the planet -- And -- and throw me off cable adorable little. Anything that's called upon -- before the Philippines wouldn't affect them.

And we think of a big guy planes' safety and we get certain ideas and I had about. About what you can do and and I read where in high school you were also the quarterback on your high school football team. Do you throw the ball pretty good.

I am happy life on the you know about the -- since -- quote about. Well that are on the bag of little I -- you know almost laughing for it was -- and the title and it was in limbo a lot of as it applies to.

Thank what do you know about the safeties on the roster right now for the patriots.

I mean you know this from my weapons and from the -- do things right that I mean of course you know you know a lot of you know -- attribute this has suffered their word is in the passive you know right on his -- on the coming here this. Nolan interest in my place what.

How much how much to this offseason and spent. You know just just immersing yourself in how they how they approach things here what they want you learn how much of it is is almost classroom work for you at this point.

I mean a lot of the right not let the process of farmland and they do things in the weight room and I would -- condition. -- On my interest was again eleven your emotions -- you look at. The culture and -- lot more -- when things kind of.

We always say it's different as fans and members of the media the patriots do things differently but we truly don't know we're not down there all the time. From what you've seen so far and I was pretty early in your patriots career. Are there major differences between what the patriots do what they did Minnesota what they did Tennessee.

I mean when you get off the process of an alcoholic and command to work out in the wake me too much that can be. If you know I was you know maybe as the year progresses that the two of them lack of room -- right -- different there's this twenty the and this club the club.

I really don't want to harp on the -- act as a matter that we have a rule on the show that we're not allowed talk about the Super Bowl anymore the patriots lost but I didn't notice that you guys in Minnesota. Handled the giants very easily and the giants gave the patriots obviously a great game. What -- what what your observations there were you surprised to see a team like the giants who he dominated beat the patriots.

I mean a little surprises for the fact that you know if -- well as they -- and they. Gradually got better than their put it in play and that a ball from twelve it could affect -- I mean when things from the limelight you kind of have to -- As a -- in the if and they that went.

We gotta ask you this having to play with the titans the most famous tight right now is famous for wrong for the wrong reasons pac man Jones you know this kid an inning and if so. What do you tell us about -- that we probably don't know.

NFL it was packed -- me you know he's the kind of you know you definitely love the Yankees president -- again you know whether it was uses of that. Is perfect Yankee you know on the right track in movies about I've done -- love -- play and he. Great on the Phil what is the Chinese cases and the club well. --

Not I actually like your first name a lot I think it sounds kind of cool but EU's tank instead of -- and on the court came from.

I carefully Pavia. So Lamar -- take them oh. That kind of you know related thing as good as any football. You know you know.

Now the other thing that I read about you that I found interesting is this big rough tough safety. National Football League player is a huge fan of the Young and the Restless --

There's I mean that was my 'cause that would have what oh yeah. You know he has his own if you got effort these I mean you can change the channel that the -- weeks straight you know I've got people and -- in his you know. I think that if you play well and it goes -- if -- back on this those critical lack.

Tank watch out. Rodney Harris and Mike Vrabel going to be all over you --

That it good you know -- no matter uses though because it will Longoria. Yeah I -- if so then you feel like.

Yeah pretty smart outlet yeah we're -- not buried right. I'm not.

just on that -- got -- rather than talent scout. You know I'll give you a hard time all of you give them that is that the going to.

It worked and a couple of locker room it was in the.

I'm curious your perceptions of the patriots before you got here. And how did those perceptions change once he got here and I know he you haven't really -- around the whole team yet but has it been different than you thought it was going to be.

I mean you know I try to -- to welcome and I mean you know. And the situation you don't know what -- going to be because -- like. -- you know accept -- different culture when you're in view of the economic I would then. Let you know you know -- Japanese very it -- by the cooler by. Throwing they have got a lot of that I worked on trying to achieve a common goal in Atlanta Braves though. My own place I guess that looked like out of his investment help. It was and so.

I declare for coach now knows little suburb about defense but to play for a guy Jeff Fisher who not only play in the league. But as coach some pretty good defensive teams. What what would you how would you describe his style and is is teaching styles but typically when it comes to the secondary.

I mean would you know -- visit news. Becoming a kind of delegated that responsibility it is quality that is -- got a lot of faith -- I mean you know. He was kind of put -- thing you know point in for the most yeah. Kind of stayed back in it. That is colon is an -- it is they know they've learned that for the they. If whether because you know they were aggressive they like the -- could have people they still do. And you know Padilla make as a of course that can't and I think -- bag but all that they have Monique and it goes.

Tank we appreciate taken a few minutes to join us welcome to and knowing Glendon. Particularly the patriots were looking forward to watching you play this year.

I figured that they've you know.

You take -- thanks that is that Levon tank Williams one of the newest members of the patriots
