Matt Light

Again bad joining us on the phone lines with they have big event of -- coming up is Patriots lineman Matt Light magic it's your home run derby last night by any chance.

Take care -- it pretty sure it was unbelievable unbelievable I got. -- worked out here the state. So. Give currently get ready for training camp which is. Unfortunately McCourt that is but it is excellent.

Yeah who's got the good parking space right now who's been the most dedicated in this off season.

You know what they used yeah announced that I think probably the first week it can't use we call who one -- war but. You know to be out what do we had a great off season I knew we had a lot of guys that were here. Not just here but here for the entire offseason program. And you know they -- to sit down as -- mystery coach and a Kamal was some guys that you know report starter maybe some numbers they had it before the weight room in. And rewarding nice part is spot which. --

As the year -- drone on and your career Matt you do you dread training camp more I think you -- like 99. Days nine hours thirteen minutes until it starts again. DDI hate more the older you get.

I had exactly sixty minutes. Or. You know I'd say well it's it's it's big. We. We do we do work really really important training camp but everybody around the league work of art but. It's it's definitely not something you look at it operate -- here now. -- for the reason. Just -- The great thing about training. So for that. You don't want it back together and it -- start to see -- that everybody's excited you know. The article. That I smoke grass cut the grass yeah it makes it.

I have have you considered. You this year in the past maybe faking an injury or or contract hold out just to get out of you know 345 weeks training camp.

Marte why it is an area that of the present that you ever. -- behind the scenes of what we do you'll realize that being injured and going through what injured guys go through there's no. You don't could they they actually end up putting in even longer hours with common treatment -- just try to take care recap. Did that doubt there's not one bit and it.

A disincentive. To.

aunt and an -- around the guys not doing everything else -- Dubai. You know I think probably -- you guys' -- W.

It mattered if Belichick makes you king for a day and you could remove one element from training camp that you're going to have to endure and have endured the past the one element you would say. Do without this I wouldn't really mind.

Many you know two days I think if we if we don't practice once today. It was my perfect little world I think maybe that's what I -- sport just one practice today unfortunately. I think I know what happened that big it would build from a from a two out our breakfast or breakfast so you know either way Buick he did it wouldn't do much.

ABC much a rating of this offseason.

I think -- Mariam everybody here during the -- I think that many debit and I sat still long. What you know most people think so -- Don't -- you'd better have -- and it is parker --

I gave me a choice the Dolphins next year you have. Jason Taylor and no Brett -- or Brett five -- no Jason Taylor which would you prefer.

What what what do you think don't prefer.

I'm guessing you'd rather have no Jason Taylor for the rest just out of the AFC's forever. That is full time dancing.

What wouldn't that would have been I wouldn't that be -- actually. I really I look forward to that Mets don't because when you play the bad briefly wanted to -- It did you get a test yourself each time any time he did you go to -- so order. To work on opener. That you haven't been doing very well and point it's just it's a bit. You know that's that's what you want --

And -- can you understand the dilemma the face of the Green Bay Packers right now -- you know after march -- announcement that far with retiring moved on cut the -- sort of sort of end of that about -- analogy that addiction to the superstar who was their quarterback for fifteen or sixteen years and moved on to Aaron Rodgers now he's changed his mind the world and Green Bay at least part of it. It turned on today Brett wants him back you need to have him come back. Whose side -- you on here.

On underneath the side -- Situation got tickets going to be baby up for -- their start. You know proper so long and then just. Incredible player. Backed into an absolutely get -- retirement and make a decision like that would make that decision that are hurt deeply that that a decision but. In the bottom line as reforms brought. So what's this game so this week so excitement just -- it is well it was but it seems so down. Number like that beside it and Spiegel.

did you get did you behaves as a rookie and will that tradition continually you liked changer on males and or anything.

Our it happens -- guys they determined that you know it's it's not the the brilliant.

It just comes down to compliance you know. Bob and what I mean the eight minute never open it. Tolerated anywhere. Which. Interest suggestions and you know go along and they do it indicate they're a great group and I just heard recently that that -- That were imposed ought to go out -- yeah I regret regret because of Serbia but score so -- this beep -- at least more.

What they do you when your rookie.

What happened to me you know ripped a single lot. I decided -- it's.

That they're famous for that -- legend to the a karaoke scene that's no problem what they do that that made you little uncomfortable.

You know which has been around him uncomfortable in which rookie there's not being comfortable but your first camp. And it's very intimidating in a lot -- Anytime that you have a guy that you didn't -- some -- you know -- You know why don't wild the one of them that -- and should do -- do in other during the course that.

So if what -- these rookies came do you like in the corner of the way from that meant to just do me a little suggestion here how I can best get through this when you you mentioned the word compliance my guess is that if you guys tell them. To carry your equipment from the practice field the locker room. Those who resist. Give it much more than those who say yes sir mr. a lot of be more than happy to carry your shoulder pads know that about right.

Yeah I considered you know -- it there's just there's an issue assists. It just by carrying someone. At endurance that's been around for awhile veteran. You won't become a better where I didn't -- really don't need to nurture playbook all you really need to albeit by the guys better and a.

They speaking of the playbook and I'm sure you know with -- your your years in the system you have it down pat is is the Patriot playbook. Specifically. It pretty daunting one for a wide eyed kid walking in there.

I think I think -- just you know it's. Is not a sport and government -- around new then. Could just they're good people want sources. -- and you know we're going to wait around for young guys have figured out. Which is what took another book a lot of -- a rookie come and say that you are are -- the playbook -- and beat criticised almost bank but their. But all. Wouldn't want no part of a couple of anybody else and well -- understand the concepts and the weight which we coached and retort but they coached you know we do. You know that the team but the biggest adjustment that dumb. I think that's what we have these these I think it is minute. There's -- really give me an idea what they're going to be pretty calm you know the real deal of this district --

If you're -- your choice. What position would you play what role would you play if you wouldn't pick offensive line would you.

Yeah I mean -- Look beyond last year. Not everybody. Has played a game. But remote and what do you -- school or college. Maybe an approach you you you realize very quickly that -- receivers run all the time. I don't like -- it really don't brought albeit at BP they want all the time and and linebackers. -- they're used to say it wrong guys terrible period and then what are going to be the -- and make a lot. I look at the running back position -- record. And gave him a bit. So so it I really don't like running back. Despite my short -- You know maybe maybe moved out of alive Pope was deal but -- they run do little.

How -- can you -- this -- that's the beauty you take abuse of your punter or kicker on the team right.

simply you to meet you know situation with those guys -- they do take some ripping. They usually very good at getting back and you know most most the -- On the team a lot of times are your kickers they're used to get so I don't I'd be so and they were.

Just generally speaking of the punters and kickers allowed to shower with the real football players. -- They make them wash their backs. Look for me believe -- we will you will you coach some day.

You know I think my coaching would come in the form. What do trying to do now foundation. And some people thought I really enjoyed bureau young people. I would say to kids I really enjoyed the most of it -- this group junior high -- it earned the other young kid in school you know christmas off more mum. Like bitter dispute that likes being developed like -- like being cute but really take the game period. You know like I don't think I did well but very. A lot of fun you know doing a bit at recruit for a lot but like -- to a they want to get better or.

While coaching junior high kids have you ever stolen the defensive signals from the other team.

oh. Hell no not. 8. We've we have a lot of I look what these kids play again at minute it'd be I don't know like coach -- time. But I would bit weak Euro would be involved the some degree weather but I explore. You know order.

Wells is speaking of young people that leads us to the light foundation and you have an event coming up on September ninth that is that certainly unique in nature and how Belichick I'm worried about a bunch of Patriots gathering. Out of the woods with guns in their hands and and here yet who was getting any concerns about this -- does about the event and and how safe is it for you when your teammates.

Well I guess the biggest statistic as we haven't walked but it yet and that will be our four year. Having the celebrity shootout -- eagle so we got a great track record sport they go to. You know you and it could be -- Padilla a lot of suitors. This have been if Billick makes you but the degree of them. To -- celebrity shootout we have a direct employees forms and and -- Rhode Island and the event goes that the money raised goes to help us do what we do it out -- Bomb to unpalatable programs. That we doubts about -- and -- a lot of bought his very unique you know. It is way to describe what you spewed out is that golfing with a shot.

Who who won last year.

At liberty it was mister open and he told me that if we're gonna say that -- coming back it as also include you group. -- spending his title. Which which he will be doing -- had a great year last year shot very well and don't become a back and a guy you know we. The guy on the team aside from being you don't just great happily go to what they do. They give back on it yet that the most people there and that but I really personal support they give them. -- 4045 guys come out -- to take time out there today. To open the huge huge success PP yes shooters celebrity's -- everybody -- medium difference agent. Out you know. The bureau just bought an -- support rep -- brave or Bruce -- Welker and you know open and Warne although I don't know why guys are always there it's it's great that.

Now there are ways that the public can get involved contribute to the light foundation and them down and enjoy this day ever think from a four person team down to -- sports sponsorship. Down to the after gathering -- to -- equipped to do the after party yeah out of all the work Matt -- how they get more information that they want to get involved.

Yet they get information at. Light foundation dot org or they can contact -- keeper group. Executive director foundation and hit numbers 781. 6354448. And temperament almost describe it Buick your team come out to compete. We have great prices are winners. We have great great wrapped all items we got you don't just some -- bank alive. And a -- great we -- Couple of real during the bitter which repeat. --

They all want to be on Willie Andrews teams he invited.

Yeah I bet that it could be probably aren't negative and I don't think at this point that the.

It's called the Matt -- liberty shoot out it is September ninth is that what looked -- the week is that.

Which group -- built they only are they ought.

Only day off will be good for future teammates for taking that day off raising money for the yeah light foundation it will let you go. Long hair and beards are they in place on the -- is that something that you start from scratch and just let it go until long February.

I don't know I think that that always been the biggest panic comes up then there -- some somewhere about halfway. So what the way but he.

The -- not a good time to show up with a beard and long hair in that neck -- weather right.

You know now well enjoyed your last few days of freedom medal talk to down the road. Good luck in the Matt Light shoot out September ninth the like foundation dot org if you want more information.
