Speaker 1: I want to I want to talk to the man
Speaker 1: of the hour. I mean there are multiple men of
Speaker 1: the hour, but we'd be hard pressed to find someone
Speaker 1: better to talk to than Mike. Is Sicky joining us
Speaker 1: right now on the Patriots postgame show, It's Hardy, Mike
Speaker 1: do So and Paul Parrilla. Mike, congratulations, what a game.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you guys very much. Man, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Mike, just you know, what was the energy like coming
Speaker 3: out today, because it seems like you guys finally got
Speaker 3: you know, a good start. You came out, you put
Speaker 3: a drive together, you put some points on the board,
Speaker 3: the defense came out and got that interception. Just you know,
Speaker 3: can you speak a little bit to just the start
Speaker 3: and the energy that that brought to you your team?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I mean it was something that we focused on,
Speaker 2: you know all wee can practice, just talked about it
Speaker 2: all week, just starting fast and you know, playing from ahead,
Speaker 2: and we were able to do that and then obviously,
Speaker 2: you know, it took all four quarters and all the minutes.
Speaker 4: So Mike, obviously you come down to the wire there,
Speaker 4: you're at the one yard line, you have no time out,
Speaker 4: so running the ball probably not an option there to
Speaker 4: make sure you have the tying field goal. Take us
Speaker 4: through the touchdown catch. You looked like you got inside.
Speaker 4: If I think was it was it Johnson? I think
Speaker 4: Taron Johnson?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean I knew once we
Speaker 2: sent that personnel on the field that you know, I
Speaker 2: was gonna have a chance. And uh, you know, it's
Speaker 2: really just four verts by everybody in the field, and
Speaker 2: you know, Mac just kind of going to going to
Speaker 2: whatever matchup that that he that he selected, and you know,
Speaker 2: I'm appreciated with him giving me a chance. And uh,
Speaker 2: you know I knew that. You know, Johnson was probably
Speaker 2: thinking I was gonna try to get to his outside
Speaker 2: and maybe like a back shoulder, So I tried to
Speaker 2: you know, sell that and then you know, sneak inside
Speaker 2: and make make a play.
Speaker 3: See seemed like Mac had to go to you on
Speaker 3: National tight Ends day though, right like that, like that
Speaker 3: just had to happen.
Speaker 2: Hey man, I'll take you, I'll take you. I mean
Speaker 2: that was that was definitely a fun way to end.
Speaker 1: Mike we I'm sorry, we we won't we won't tell anybody,
Speaker 1: but were you thinking field goal? Maybe field goal on
Speaker 1: that last drive and then and then we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens in overtime.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, honestly, I mean, you know, on the sideline,
Speaker 2: you know, we were talking. You know, our goal was
Speaker 2: to go down there, score and win it. And that's
Speaker 2: exactly what we did. Started off hot with a great player,
Speaker 2: m Andre Hunter, had a great catch on third down,
Speaker 2: pop got us down in the one yard line, and
Speaker 2: uh then you know it will be you know, send
Speaker 2: in twelve personnel and you know, gave gave me a
Speaker 2: chance for uh for the game winner and Matt Greick
Speaker 2: and Matt gave a great ball, o line gave him
Speaker 2: time and it was it was. It was a great
Speaker 2: ending to a great day for us. But you know,
Speaker 2: we got a long road ahead of us.
Speaker 4: So, Mike, as you're talking, we're running highlights of the
Speaker 4: of the game winning catch, and it looked like you
Speaker 4: did a really nice job of sort of knowing that
Speaker 4: Johnson's coming and keeping the ball a little bit up high.
Speaker 4: You know, obviously you have you know, a pretty good
Speaker 4: height advantage there, but making sure that he wasn't going
Speaker 4: to get high enough to be able to knock the
Speaker 4: ball loose. Was that on your mind as you're bringing
Speaker 4: it in.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean I think you know, I learned that
Speaker 2: way back, you know, when I know you know my
Speaker 2: size and you know where I can keep the ball.
Speaker 2: So I knew if I kind of just kept it away,
Speaker 2: because you know, they're they're teaching him to, you know,
Speaker 2: play through the hands. So if I tried to tuck
Speaker 2: it right there, it would have give him a chance
Speaker 2: to make a play on it. So I just trying
Speaker 2: to keep it away. Uh, you know, obviously get two
Speaker 2: feet control of the ground and then get up and
Speaker 2: celebrate like an absolute moral Well, Mike, I.
Speaker 4: Don't deserve to today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and seriously for an offense that's been a hold
Speaker 1: on the quiet side, you and several other guys on
Speaker 1: the offense today kicked that door open and said we're here.
Speaker 1: So congratulations, great win, great catch, and we really appreciate
Speaker 1: you taking the time. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, guys. I appreciate it, all right, Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1: Mike is sick.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
