1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Hey, Nelson, can just take us through the touchdown play.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: What happened there? Hard to tell him the TV broadcast,

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: but what was the coverage and what you see from

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Mac there? Uh? They were in his own Um, you know,

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: ran my route and Jacobe ran a good route, so

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: he drew U the other defender. UM and Mac do

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: a great ball. Nelson the first game as a Patriot,

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: and then uh, Max's performance tonight and you and his

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: your thoughts on his rookie performance. I thought he did well.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: I think he'll continue to get better too. You know

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: this type of player he is in person, he is Nelson.

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: You didn't have a lot of time playing with Mac

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: in preseason games. Did it feel like that? You guys

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: have some have some chemistry that you're developing between the

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: two of you. Look like you looked your way a lot.

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna just keep all working. Um, We've done that,

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: We've practiced hard, and we need to continue to do that.

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: And I think good things will happen if he freks hard. Nelson,

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: what'd you see from Mac after that first play? The

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: backwards pass is really not what anyone want to see

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: the first NFL play? UM, what you see from him

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: bouncing back and then coming back and fishing the rest

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: of the game with a pretty fishing game overall. I mean,

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: I think he's a you know, a guy that loves

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: the game of football, and I think he's very resilient.

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: You know, he stays in the game and he plays hard,

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: and I think he's just gonna continue to get better.

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Did you feel that there was an unevenness between like

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: your offense and defense, Like the offense would do a

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: good play and then the defense would have a problem,

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: and what the defense would do a good play in

32
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: the offense would have a problem. That's not really my

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: place to even pay attention to. I think the coach

34
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: will show us the tape, and I was trying to,

35
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, get ready for whatever adjustments we need to

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: make offensively. You know, I watched the game. I think

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: that defense played hard. We played against a really good

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: football team, you know. So at the end of the day,

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna watch this tape and we're gonna get better. Nelson,

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: how are you feeling. I know you're you're banged up

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: during the week, and just how do you feel coming

42
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: out of the game, Like anybody that played a football game.

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: Pretty sure, Hey, Nelson up here, could you just take

44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: us through your touchdown? From the coverage you saw it

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: look like a little bit of a return route and

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: then the moment you saw the ball coming your way.

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, Kobe ran a great route. We're both

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: on the same side, and Mac do a great ball.

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Defense played a coverage that allowed me to, uh, you know,

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: pop open Nelson. As a veteran in this league, what's

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: your message to a guy like Damian Harris who who

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: makes a fumble there late in the game. He's he's

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: also a guy that understands, you know, the game of football.

54
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: You know, I don't really have to tell him anything

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: because he works so hard. You know, it's a next

56
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: play mentality. You know. I think he's a great football player,

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: and if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even be

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: in that situation. You know, he ran the ball so well,

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: and they'll let the coaches coach him on those type

60
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: of responsibility. But as his teammate, you know, I just

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: continue to tell him I love the way he runs

62
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: and how hard he plays. Hey, five catches for someventy

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: two yards and a touchdown. Just how happy are you

64
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: to start your Patriot's career off with a solid performance.

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm not happy we won't we lost, So that's really

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: what my mind is. You know, I should do more

67
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: to help us win at the end of the day,

68
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and that's with the focus each week. Nelson, if you

69
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: could get past the disappointment, do you have excitement for

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: what this offense might be? I mean, it's a rookie

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: quarterback for many of us, the first time we've seen them.

72
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Do you think there's something to be excited about when

73
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: you come out of this game? Yeah, just because of

74
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: how we work, you know, in our mentality. You know,

75
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: I think there's excitement because we know that tomorrow we're

76
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: gonna work hard. Tomorrow we're gonna watch this tape, and

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna do it in a manner that's

78
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: going to allow us to progress getting ready for next week.

79
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: So in a game like this isn't something that I

80
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: think will send us in the wrong direction. I think

81
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: we'll send us in the positive direction because we're gonna

82
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: learn from this tape. With that mind, is that something

83
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: that will be we'll kind of reflect something a lot

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: about this team going forward, is how do you use

85
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: a game like this? How do you get better from

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: from a game like this where things were close but

87
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: not finished off. Well, I think coach Belichick is gonna,

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, do what he needs to do, and he's

89
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: gonna handle how he assesses the game and teaches us

90
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: from my past experience. You know, you rather learn from wins,

91
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of beautiful things to learn

92
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: from a loss. You know, you see the little things

93
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: you could have done to put yourself in position. But

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: I think Coach Belichick is gonna do amazing job, you know,

95
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: detailing this tape and helping all of us
