10-27-08 Richard Seymour, Patriots DE

Sick you're trying to -- Richard Seymour is money. It about restaurants that -- thought that I got a wife from fort. -- popped up -- that led to reassign. Now tied for. The -- The well where it all -- you talk about restaurants and they they sit here they have Cleveland's. Well prepared about this is easy for. You know they offered so -- we did offer we did what it would it would security if I had offers some seafood from -- jacked up -- I said when Richard came and I said that this man it's I've seen you'll hear -- at Ottawa but map in the mad at half. Let let the end. On the replay you could clearly see what Richard was Matta I mean an offensive lineman grant your -- and it's and you had --

Right want to weigh in -- same like my face -- the Monday was going to pull him in the opposite direction and the rough -- on the -- a toll on me. You know you can just look at the game -- here to make calls and make plays a mean it was just obvious -- of faith in middle school play so you know Els produced the minute that.

So that something happened to Richard Seymour in the offseason something happen. I mean you came and you -- you had a conversation with somebody you you. Had a revelation because -- does look like a different player. Look like different players here I don't know what was. Somebody had that you can tell us what it is.

I worked out. Outlet and that is that right. Right. That's all part of that was that what it was just that you've. You -- help our other our armed robbery at the history yet really I mean you can't treaty can do better so. Yes -- thing is that the days of work to do.

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

I'll definitely you you government -- you know I think number one day hill. Of myself and also myself on the football team is the most important thing because if you're not guilty and -- not able to -- contributor. Contribute and you know. Was -- acquired a vote of National League football player in me it's. You know you -- hurt the team that they're so -- just really able to grow and I think you know. In life you go through different obstacles to a room to make you better -- make you stronger and sometimes you if you want to be better you have to go through some things from down moments in order to really appreciate their -- the full benefit and to maximize. The opportunities when they colon so. You know for me being down -- heard. I'll still it would give the -- of the 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 I'm a better player now. And even before -- hurt.

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 healthy who was 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.

Right coming up thing for me. You know highlight our football team. You know a lot of puke if they would Thomas right. The army ruler like our football team like what was it like teams and a you know Nelson looking over -- but you know I mean it's not like weird is suing him for the Super Bowl you know and now like where -- suit because that as you still got to Columbia played again and that's the that's the most important. -- games like that out of the -- word you know. You're not expected to win or you know people just expect this -- in the physical people have a good -- that would be news you know. They -- and just that. -- though the immaculate you know we can all does make him. You know they wells vehement. Six you know coming year -- and we yours.

You what you just said may makes a lot of sense to sit before dale asked this question about going through something tough to make you stronger and to make you better. As you were going -- Richard did you ever have he. Lack of a better -- 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.

Well houses come up -- I was like well when MI going to help the economy when musical talent turned the corner you know and so that was. More -- mindset at that -- and you know us do. You know -- still like almost a -- in my abilities that you know when I gave hill because I mean everything else feel good about the speed oval rock lift weights -- of the things went. I just what they were really off the ball and even if I stood up like a library probably should've played -- linebacker. -- records I could've stood up. Cattle -- around. But to give him -- stance -- neighbor to explode all 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 them for with a different injury act I could do a little war. You know given the position that I play. So you know.

What is it is there's some. Big being up a pro player I'm sure there's a lot of pride in going out there even. When you're not. 100%. Was that driving you to go out there like on one hand ticket you can take a seat. On the other hand and come back and play it you know 75% or 70% yourself that one of the reasons that that you went out there and play.

Well you know -- to be honest a lot of times I thought about Lama even out here. You know. You know this you know it's a tough call especially when -- unit is something that you love to do. Not at your watch myself on film you know where you know wasn't really. Being explosive could really wrong like I wanted to. You know started to get criticism it's good you know -- you know what it woes and you know I would you don't do it definitely you know also up a -- really the most difficult thing is you know. When you're out there. -- be in you know criticize as if you aren't you proceeded to win -- relived that so you know one of the most toughest things to review it 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 then you know. You know people -- a quarter and you know -- home et cetera you know you've missed most of them you know and always had confidence in me and I confidence in myself and you know just learn and experience really in him. You know.

Justice sort of taken such as I said the deal -- worse there's some guys don't go out there when they're hurt. Because they don't want to be embarrassed. So at an end there -- 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%.

Maybe that's always tough to do a finger now. The it's it's a little strangely -- and we what maybe wait. Like stuff like that you can displayed the court you know paper -- and I don't care if they put them you know who -- like. And you complete the and it's also -- difference between injured via her. You know -- Or Milan in the metal bowl you know so.

Coach just look at tapes they look at films they they studies they think they know who their plan 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 the five time pro ball are they are they approaching you differently in the game plan as well.

Well -- jacket or even when I'm on the line I can hear where -- You know. 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. Let -- say when I was there when they would really come off and do some things I would normally be it would do.

Or Michael is told the story about how at training camp when Everett is a lot of times though when Andre Tippett will speak to the team. And they'll show the footage the famous Johnny Hector footage. Where he throws the guy through the quarterback that you did did you record that you didn't that you did that Yasser Arafat you throw an offensive linemen through the quarterback yesterday.

It always through 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 laden. You know particular point you -- so -- and so it was too. Implement goals things you know feels good. One group. Issues for its woes he -- a concern if we get off to a fast or and you know get some hits early -- quarterback in. Could you know he's a smaller guy in the pocket and going to quarterback -- here. 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.

I'll stop the Roland. Just the rest to pass of the idea that the death just through it Olerud put roads. A a I -- I am told we gotta get two out of here you get stuff you've got to do well I am a Republican out for you we consider we can talk forever. Great theory -- congratulations on the win yesterday but that restaurant and some more I. Don't make it gets -- ago through and saying how good. I -- double plays to spend your money into that it is they it.
