1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Mac, just take us through that last play. How stunning

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: was it? And what were you guys thinking on that

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: play when he came out of the huddle. Yeah, I think, um,

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: we just gotta finish better. And obviously tough situation and

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: falls on all of us, and we just gotta do better.

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: So it is what it is, and tough way to

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: go out, but we got to just watch the taping

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: get better, Mac Willie Romeres with the Associated Press. David

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: has said that it was a call draw play Romandre

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: takes the ball. Was he told to initiate a pitch

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: play if possible, if there was something he saw, or

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: was he told do what you can and then go down. Yeah,

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: I think you just have to ask Cooch Belichick. You know,

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: obviously we have a plan for the end of the game,

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: and I just didn't do enough job there. So I

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: have to watch the taping get better and do all

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the things, you know, so we don't even have to

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: be in that situation. Mac, you're in the position as

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Chandler sort of catching the ball, and can you take

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: us just into that moment and the possibility of wrapping

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: him up. Did you feel like there was a chance

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: to do that? Or is that sort of a shocking

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: situation to find yourself in. Yeah, I got to tackle

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: the guy, and it's on me, and it's my fault

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: because if we tackle him then or I tackle him,

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: then we play for overtime. So it's on me. Got

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: to make that not good enough by me, so it

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: is what it is, and just got to tackle him

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: and play for overtime. So that's on me. Jacoby said

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: just a few minutes ago to Porters in the locker

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: room that he was just trying to be a hero,

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: trying to do too much. I guess how much do

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: you feel for him on that play? Oh? Yeah, I

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: think Jacoby's one of the best teammates I've ever had.

35
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: He's a fighter and he does everything you can to

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: try and help the team. Obviously you'd have to ask

37
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: coach about it and see what our plan was. But

38
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the guys out there

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: fighting and trying to compete to win the game. And

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things I could have done better

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: in the game, like I said earlier, So we're not

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: even in that situation. So when you know I don't

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: play very well, we were in that situation and it

44
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: just it's terrible. So it's it's tough, but I love

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Jacobe and I love all the guys on our team.

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: It's not Jacoby's fault. I think we just got to

47
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: watch it and see what we can do better. Max. Situationally,

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: with what you practiced at that point in the field,

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: was a hail Mary completely out of the discussion. Was

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: that in your mind going into that play that it

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: could be impossible? Um? Yeah, I think Coach Belichick makes

52
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the coaching decisions there, so we put a lot of

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: emphasis on it and work really hard at it, but

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: just got to do better execution as players. And yeah,

55
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: back in the first half when you guys weren't able

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: to punch the ball in near the goal line, what

57
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: can you pinpoint for what went wrong in that situation? Yeah,

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I think we just got to score more points and

59
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: early just a play as a play, and we didn't

60
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: and I didn't execute enough good plays today. So if

61
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: you don't do that, then you're not going to score.

62
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: And this tough situation definitely falls on me and got

63
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: to be better, and I'm gonna watch the tape and

64
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: do what I always do and just try and get better.

65
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: So tough tough deal, but just gotta keep working. Um,

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: Mac knowing the stakes of this game and your playoff

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: chances and how you seem to have this game at

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: the end, is it's the most painful lost you've had it. Yeah,

69
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I think we want to win every game that we

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: play in and as a competitor and as a team

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: full of competitors, we want to you know, have a

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: better result. And it's stings, and it's gonna sting, but

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: we got more games to play and we got to

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: turn the page and keep fighting and don't quit. That's

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: the one thing we can't do is quit and just

76
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: attack each day and come together as a team and

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: do everything we can to become a better team. What

78
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: if anything on that note was the message from coach

79
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: Belichick in the locker room after the game. Yeah, I

80
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: think that's personal to us and our team, and obviously

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: we're all disappointed, players, coaches and myself everybody. So just

82
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: a tough deal and we put a lot into it,

83
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: and I love all these guys on this team, and

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: we got, you know, more games to be played, like

85
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: I said, and we got to watch the film, learn

86
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: and get better and stop to say that right after

87
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: the game, but it's really all you can do. So

88
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: um disappointed and want to do better. So Mac, you're

89
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: very complimentary of Jacoby as a teammate. What can you

90
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: share was your message, try and console him after the

91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: game and coupled with that, how do you hope you

92
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: respond now with what's the stake for the final three games? Yeah?

93
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, Jacoby is one of my

94
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: closest buddies and it's a great dude, and he's a competitor,

95
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: so he's gonna keep working and doesn't fall on him,

96
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: falls on all of us, falls on me. We're all

97
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: in this together and we love each other and it's

98
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: it's what it comes down to, is coming together and

99
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: building and just trying to do the best we can.

100
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, we just gotta watch it and get back

101
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: to work here and just keep working. Thanks,
