00:00Jones and Keefe were joined now by Patriots captain and defensive lineman Dietrich Wise.

00:04He joins us here presented by Shaw's and Star Market, perfecting the art of fresh. Dietrich, how are we doing this week?

00:12Wonderful, how are you doing today? We're doing great. We're curious, was Seattle coming to town for the home opener?

00:17Malcolm Butler is going to be in the building, keeper of the light, ringing the bell.

00:21What do you expect the atmosphere to be like for the home opener against the Seahawks?

00:25I think it's going to be electrifying.

00:27Everybody's excited after the first win.

00:30Fans are talking, the city's buzzing. Everybody's going to come out to see us do our thing.

00:34They have Malcolm Butler at the top of the White House

00:38hyping the crowd up, so you know everybody's going to be

00:42primed, excited, cheering on their feet for at least an hour before everything else happens.

00:47Yeah, for sure. What can you tell us about playing alongside Keon White? Because a lot was brought up about, oh, you know,

00:53Barmore, unfortunately, is out for the year. Matt Judon traded away. What's this Patriots defensive front with yourself?

01:00What's it going to look like? And week one, Keon White, two and a half sacks and looked like an absolute monster.

01:06Yeah, that's what he's been doing the last year.

01:10Just, you know, the ball was releasing before he was getting there. So we're finally seeing it. As we said, doing training camp,

01:16he's definitely a great player, and I was looking forward to seeing what he was going to do.

01:21This first game, he showed out and showed up.

01:24So this one looks for him to continue that throughout the whole season and

01:29tell the world who he is.

01:30We've heard players say things like they would run through a brick wall.

01:34For Gerard Mayo, as one of the lines about him, what is it about Mayo that is getting you guys to buy in?

01:43You know, he's a great leader, a motivator,

01:47knows how to get the best out of guys, pull guys to the side, talk to them,

01:51hype guys up when they make great plays.

01:54He knows how to build the camaraderie of the team, the morale of the team.

02:00He's just the type of guy that a lot of people just,

02:03not so much that they make you feel good, but he makes you feel

02:08like he's the guy that you want to go to war behind, you know.

02:13He's that Marcus Aurelius out there on the field,

02:16selling the dirt, leading the charge, you know.

02:19And I know he's not playing no more, but he's definitely on the sideline leading us.

02:23Marcus Aurelius, are you in for Gladiator 2 coming up in a couple months?

02:28You know, hey, that would be something else.

02:31Looks good. Looks real good.

02:33What can you tell us about the Seattle offense?

02:36You know, we're kind of breaking them down.

02:37Obviously, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, they got big name wide receivers.

02:40Gino Smith has really turned his career around,

02:43has looked good the last couple of years.

02:44But what do you see when you guys are watching them on film?

02:48Yeah, yeah, you said it, man.

02:51So I saw it with the receivers.

02:52They're doing a great job so far.

02:55Great skilled players.

02:57They know how to get open, catch the ball, do their thing fast.

03:00Walker, fast. Great running back.

03:02I think he's underrepresented in that league.

03:06It's one of the good running backs.

03:07So I know he's going to come out there to prove himself.

03:11Gino, once again, doing his thing.

03:15I know he's off the ground, but he's been looking good the last two years.

03:18And he came out using his legs, throwing the ball.

03:21You can tell he's leading the offense the right way.

03:23So we definitely have a challenge on our hands that we're looking to face.

03:28Patriots Friday here on WEEI.

03:30We're joined by Patriots captain Dietrich Wise.

03:32I don't know if you were able to stay up for the Thursday night game last night.

03:35We just talked to Alex Van Pelt.

03:36He said those are tough for you guys.

03:38But I'm sure you've seen the highlights in the story by now.

03:41Any thoughts on Tua leaving that game?

03:43It was obviously a scary situation last night.

03:46Yes, it is a very scary situation.

03:50You never want that to happen to anybody,

03:53whether you know him or you don't know him, whether you're playing against him,

03:56whether you don't like him.

03:58You never want those things to happen to him.

04:04I was definitely praying for his family,

04:06making sure him and his family is in good spirits and everything.

04:09And I don't really know what his future holds,

04:12but I pray for his health alongside with that.

04:16So you just never want to see it.

04:18Definitely, it happened during the biggest game he's had so far.

04:24You know, those type of things that he started to kind of like

04:29wish the best for him, like, hey, man, you know,

04:32if you ever had a chance to talk to anyone, you know,

04:34just tell me how you feel.

04:35And you know that football is only a short time in life,

04:38but your life is a lot longer.

04:40So I pray he definitely heals and we'll see what happens next.

04:46You know, Dietrich, we talk with Hunter Henry every Monday.

04:49And obviously, you guys are teammates now.

04:50You are also teammates back at Arkansas.

04:52You're both seasoned vets now in the NFL.

04:55But I'm curious, what was a college age Hunter Henry like as a teammate?

05:00Oh, college Hunter, pretty much the same as Hunter is now.

05:07Very excited, very motivated to go out there and play ball with his boys.

05:13Loves to have fun in the locker room.

05:15Loves to have fun with his family, with his friends, family man.

05:19Left it behind on the field.

05:20So he's pretty much been the same person that he was in college.

05:26Big hunt dog.

05:27Big hunt dog.

05:28Big hunt dog.

05:29All right.

05:30Maybe we'll leave it at that.

05:31We'll roll that out on Monday.

05:33Big hunt dog there.

05:34Dietrich, I'm curious, and Jarrod Mayo effectively confirmed this today.

05:38We just talked to Alex Van Pelt.

05:39Drake May getting quite a few reps in practice against the top defense with the starters.

05:46What have those reps been like seeing him more than the traditional backup?

05:51And what is it like facing off against him in some of these practices?

05:55You know, it's always good to see the growth of any player that you go against.

05:59Drake has definitely shown growth in that field.

06:02Able to make good completions in practice, give us good looks week in and week out.

06:09So with him playing against the ones, it's going to make him better and also make us better as well.

06:15All right.

06:16Dietrich Wise, Patriots captain, defensive lineman, Patriots home opener this Sunday against the Seahawks at Gillette.

06:22We appreciate the time.

06:23We'll talk to you down the line.

06:26Dietrich Wise joining us here.

06:29The big hunt dog.

06:30Big hunt dog.

06:31Woof, woof, woof.

06:32That's right.

06:33So we'll have to—

06:34A couple of hawks.

06:35We're talking a couple of hawks, a couple of Razorbacks.

06:36A couple of howls.

06:37Yep.
