1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Heydev, How are you hey till I'm doing well? I

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: hope you don't mind me just asking about Mac. I

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: just trust your veteran presence. When you see him kind

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: of lead these mini comebacks within a game and you

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: guys go down and he's able to lead some drives back.

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: What are you thinking about a guy like that if

7
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: you stop now to just think about what he's learning

8
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: and doing in those situations. Yeah, I mean, I think

9
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: the best thing about it is we're not thinking about it.

10
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: We're not worried about the kid. He's been preparing he

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's in't here late, He's in here

12
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: early every day. He's one of the guys now, Like

13
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: we don't see him as a rookie, like we honestly

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: we expect him to lead. We expect him to be

15
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: our quarterback. And I think that speaks volumes about how

16
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: far he's grown since he's been here. He has everybody's

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: trust in that locker room, and there was no doubt

18
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: when when they took the field that they were going

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: to drive down there and give us a shot. And

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: we just gotta build upon this, we gotta keep I

21
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: think we understand what it takes a week, a day

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: in and day out to prepare. We played a good

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: football team. We prepared our butts off, but now we

24
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta do the little things to make a

25
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: difference to win the game. And I think that's what

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: we gotta walk away with tonight of realizing we watched

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: this film, all the little things that showed up that

28
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: we didn't do well was really the difference in the

29
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: game in the middle. Devin, you want up across the

30
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage from tom a lot over the years

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: of practice. How did tonight compare to all those times

32
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: we faced my practice? And how was it a different

33
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: given the situation. I know, I don't want to it

34
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: was just a game, you know. I think it's different

35
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: practicing game, but um, once you get out there, it's

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: a weaker preparation. We prepared all week. Um, I think

37
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: we we had some tips, we had things that we knew,

38
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: we had ways we wanted to play, and I think

39
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: it showed up tonight. Um. And obviously we knew coming

40
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: in there we're gonna make some plays. Um. But I

41
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: think overall, we did a decent job of executing our game.

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Playing against a good offense, Um. But like I said,

43
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: if we could take back a few plays, it really

44
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: would have been a difference in the outcome. Devin, I

45
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: know you've talked about this being its own team and

46
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: not relying on the accomplishments of like Patriots scenes passed.

47
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Just what did you learn about this group tonight? I

48
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: think we're resilient. We'll keep fighting, um, And I think

49
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: weekend and week out, we're gonna we're gonna put whatever

50
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: happened behind us and prepare and be ready to go.

51
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: And I think we showed that after not playing a

52
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: way we want to play at all last week, to

53
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: come out here in a big game and ignore everything

54
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: else that was going on and prepare and be ready

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: to go. And like I said, it's just it's it's

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: finding a way to win these games. That's gonna be

57
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: our next step. You know. Obviously it's great to come

58
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: out here and do a decent job, but we want

59
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: to win. You know, I think we look up, we're

60
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: one and three now, we gotta we gotta find a

61
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: way to win these games going forward, and that'll be

62
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: the difference in the season. Devin, we talked with Coach

63
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Belichick just mentioned the kind of the multiplicity of what

64
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: you guys wanted to do on defense here tonight. When

65
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: you look through the coverage, it seemed like a lot

66
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: of man to man. How would you describe just your

67
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: kind of coverage playing for what you wanted to do tonight? Yeah,

68
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I think I thought our corners went out competed their

69
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: butts off. They got They got three guys, I said

70
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: during the week three all pro number one receivers on

71
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: any team, And I thought our guys went out there

72
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: and competed and played well all throughout the game. UM.

73
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: But we want, like I said during the week, we

74
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure we didn't just give it to him.

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: You know, different disguises, different looks, um, different calls that

76
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: helped our game playing. UM. I thought we did a

77
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: good job of just slowing them down in the passing

78
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: game and not letting them, um just move the ball

79
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: up and down the field. And then I thought the

80
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: biggest thing we did was played well in the red area, UM,

81
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: and that gave us a shot to win the game.

82
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: S Deevin, you said, you know Mac has done such

83
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: a good job since he's gotten here. Have you ever

84
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: thought about what it must be like to be in

85
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: his shoes and replace Tom Brady. I mean it's there's

86
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: he was here for twenty years. It isn't like he

87
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: was here for one der Freo years, won a couple

88
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: of championships and then moved on. There's everything that you

89
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: guys do now just about he was part of all

90
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: of that. Have you thought about that kind of task

91
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: and how big it must be for him? Yeah, I

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: mean I think the main thing is just being a

93
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the NFL. Like I said, like he's here,

94
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: he's here late, not like we're not talking about like

95
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, six o'clock, the guys didn't here late, trying

96
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: to know everything he can know. So, you know, I've

97
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: thought about it, and I think he's a guy that

98
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: he's prepared for this moment. He wants this moment. And

99
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing as veterans, as older guys

100
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: on the team is continue to support him, continue to

101
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: build them up and show him that he's doing a

102
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: good job and we just got to help him. And

103
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: I think that goals across the board is continue to

104
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: make plays. But you know, I think on his own,

105
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, being at Alabama, being behind two other quarterbacks

106
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: that are starting in the NFL right now, like he understands,

107
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: and I don't think the moment's too big for him, Devin.

108
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: It seemed like, specifically in the secondary, you guys were

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: playing with a lot of energy. Tonight you were playing

110
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: the he was very physical. Was that How important was

111
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: that for you? And was that a focus coming into

112
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah. I think anytime you look on the schedule,

113
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: you got a team like this, I can throw the

114
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: ball up and down the field. You you gotta love

115
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: that challenge. And I thought guys stepped up to the challenge,

116
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: came out and compete it well, and like you said,

117
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: great energy, like you need that when you're going against

118
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: a good football team and against good players. And I

119
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: thought we showed that throughout the game. And like I said,

120
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: we could get a couple of plays back that we

121
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: could have made. I thought the auto made a difference. Kevin,

122
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: You're one and three, could be three and one, whatever,

123
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: it's you are who you are. But at the beginning

124
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: of year, I think a lot of us saw the

125
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: talent and the number, and you put the pieces on paper.

126
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: It looked like this could be a very good year.

127
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: It still could be, But can you talk about how

128
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: hard it is just adding bodies, key bodies and key

129
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: places and getting them to gel together because they it

130
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: seemed like today was a step forward. I don't know

131
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: what you think, but can you talk about how hard

132
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: that is? Yeah? I think you guys have seen it.

133
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean we've we in every game we play so far,

134
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: we've shown flashes of being a good football team. We

135
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: haven't complimented each other very well in all three phases,

136
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: and I think we got close to that on you know,

137
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Slate making a play on the fumble whatever that whatever

138
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: the call was or wasn't, But those are the type

139
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: of things that as a team, when we start doing

140
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: those things, putting the ball, pinning the backdep trying to

141
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: get a turnover on it, I think those are the

142
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: things that will show up. And once we can get

143
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: that where we go out and play sixty minutes of

144
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: complimentary football and I think we've seen that. People that

145
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: have been here, we've seen when we're able to do

146
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: that as a football team, you have a chance to

147
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: go out there and win a lot of football games.

148
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: So um, but it's building. It's a process of you know,

149
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: every moment we're in, every situation we're in for this team.

150
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of new, you know, new guys and new spots,

151
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: so we got to continue to build on that, build

152
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: a trust, build a camaraderie, and I think we just

153
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: got to stick at it. We can't camp, panic and

154
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: try to do too much or worry about what other

155
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,599
