" Right now the Patriots are in the middle of passing camp on a -- stadium. Well those so called OT days and a lot of the guys who are new to the program here have about been in and start to get themselves familiar one of those. He is a guy who joins us on the line right now one of the newest members of the New England Patriots victor hobson is with a victory -- Michael thank you very much for joining us and welcome throughout."

" They -- you play it would that the Jets. The last few years and you had somebody defensive systems to worry about -- it and Abdur. Herman Edwards you -- 43 guy and then under Eric Mangini Hewitt 34 got what was that like for you."

" you know you you kind of know committed -- Maybe you -- effort today -- you know commitment that would. Ordered to what really which picture of -- of these coordinated and is that the Vatican has been brought a different you know a fortress system on -- resilient and reform you know and it was it was like learn on the run but it was good experience but you learn about it if it."

" Your very productive area that you were in 80% of their plays the last few years. All they had to plant outside the last couple years the Patriots come to you and say we see US inside linebacker -- what was that discussion."

" I remembered. -- bigger than in the pitchers is -- is that there is no picnic in me is in the fifth but it just. In return that they feel. Is it because America there."

" Now one of the things I've read about that that is hardest when you make that switch is is a footwork issue. Do you feel that's been an issue for you at all."

" You know I don't -- as a matter of learning different different aspect of this. -- as difficult as is it that Oakland's --"

" Yeah along those lines I was reading in the Boston Globe where they said you've been kind of leading the defensive huddle. Is that as much an indication of your agent seniority as anything else."

" I think that might indicate -- the -- years -- but you know of the -- well there's."

" I you you've played in some big games that at the University of Michigan and you happened since he -- named Tom Brady. With any any surprise at all when you -- Brady was a good college quarterback yeah surprised to see him. Elevate his game to a otherworldly level in the pros."

" If you don't a minute ago yeah -- expect these great views that they. I definitely own their own successful -- these people -- always built no matter what the school was down. -- we always knew. I -- in the day that we had a chance to come in and that's it was."

" He has said that at Michigan he used the stay up that stay up nights I mean restless night. When he threw an interception in practice so I'm wondering what was he like in terms of motivation. With you guys in practice and the games."

" you know he's he's upped the competitive and then great people in. When you have one problem is indeed -- carried over throughout the forces everybody that's open and they've kind of been so as well. In a terrible thing."

" Another guy lining up an inside linebacker in this passing camp. His first round draft pick to rod mail I know there's not a lot to go on yet but give us a quick little scouting report on what you see from this young guy."

" He's a good player. Not athletic talent and -- an -- well these great position to see."

" victor what happened in New York him out I would think. Honestly I think you'll be great fit for you to stay in in it makes sense for them to keep you will what do you think went wrong there."

" I don't know in notice that is that the business the and like. Richard could be -- in this system they."

" What were some of the options you had a or something I'm sure he had some suitors. Who did it come down to."

" To view of course of course in this country. On the other one is it what is. -- It's only he's cold remedies that. Like this organization to grow with."

" Victor we've heard other veteran players. Tell similar kinds of stories Rodney Harrison Roosevelt Colvin others they said you know I got I got to New England I took the visit and that was that. What do they do what they do itself people so quickly."

" it is the great organization -- shifting it. And you know everybody here is that the one thing -- right thank -- went selective at least. You walk into -- like this is year round winning in movements of went and make -- citizen and he's."

" And victor literally when you walk into that organization on your way from the parking lot he sees signs today. Martin's reserved for -- politics reserved for real resort for Ty Warren reserved for Teddy Bruschi give people a sense of what back competition is like -- old time parking spaces."

" So about one pick and as hard work dedication and our work. -- get under -- walked through it though in an organization that walked out the about our work."

" I got a feeling -- that offseason hard work is something -- You're probably pretty used to I'm guessing Eric's offseason program in New York wasn't a whole lot different than what you're going through year."

" yet they've they've they have the similarity you know our our -- aspect of -- as I've got where there. Continues --"

" Victor we appreciate taken a few minutes and you're just coming off the field best of luck to you and welcome to New England take -- victor. That is victor hobson linebacker for the New England Patriots"
