You know, what went wrong? What happened? Why 24 00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:30,999 Speaker 2: were you guys not really able to stay on the 25 00:01:31,039 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 2: field and score points. 26 00:01:33,679 --> 00:01:35,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the biggest thing was I thought the 27 00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:38,279 Speaker 3: effort was there. I think this execution comes down to 28 00:01:39,839 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 3: I think you know me and that even that first 29 00:01:41,919 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 3: third down had a chance that a pop on a 30 00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:46,719 Speaker 3: route and had a chance with some later third downs, 31 00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:47,879 Speaker 3: the one come out of a half where we got 32 00:01:47,919 --> 00:01:49,399 Speaker 3: a chance to get back in the game. The third down, 33 00:01:49,399 --> 00:01:52,359 Speaker 3: I think I stepped up and took a hit that 34 00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:54,839 Speaker 3: probably didn't need to step into and high KB open. 35 00:01:54,919 --> 00:01:57,999 Speaker 3: So I think just just things that execution wise, and 36 00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:00,679 Speaker 3: I think just just paying more attention to, you know, 37 00:02:00,679 --> 00:02:02,439 Speaker 3: the little things, you know, like the third and one 38 00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:04,719 Speaker 3: and I ended up taking a bad sack on the 39 00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:07,679 Speaker 3: next fourth down, like some things that just kind of 40 00:02:07,679 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 3: added up after we really never really got in a rhythm. 41 00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 3: And then I think it's tough to kind of call 42 00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:14,198 Speaker 3: when they got some good pass rushes on the edge 43 00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:15,879 Speaker 3: and they nowhere passing trying to get back in the game. 44 00:02:15,959 --> 00:02:16,999 Speaker 3: So I think it's kind of one of those things 45 00:02:16,999 --> 00:02:19,559 Speaker 3: where we didn't next to early on and didn't help 46 00:02:19,559 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 3: our defense. 47 00:02:20,038 --> 00:02:22,319 Speaker 4: Out, Drake, I'd like you to zoom out for a 48 00:02:22,358 --> 00:02:26,439 Speaker 4: second here. This Patriots team has already lost more games 49 00:02:26,478 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 4: than your two years combined starting at UNC. I know 50 00:02:29,839 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 4: you're rookie and you're working on your development, but what 51 00:02:33,399 --> 00:02:35,038 Speaker 4: have you done or what do you try to do 52 00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:37,599 Speaker 4: to work through that and kind of deal with being 53 00:02:37,679 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 4: on a team that unfortunately just has not been winning 54 00:02:40,079 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 4: many games this year. 55 00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been tough. It's been a frustrating year for everybody, 56 00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,999 Speaker 3: and everybody wants to win, and it was tough for 57 00:02:47,279 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 3: you got, you know, a new head coach, and coach 58 00:02:49,799 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 3: coach Mayoy's he wants to win. He's very frustrated when 59 00:02:52,399 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 3: we don't win. So so everybody's you know, on the 60 00:02:54,559 --> 00:02:56,439 Speaker 3: same board everybody and everybody in the league once when 61 00:02:56,439 --> 00:02:58,319 Speaker 3: that's what's so hard about the NFL, and everybody shows 62 00:02:58,399 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 3: up every week and really is so much parody between 63 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,198 Speaker 3: the league. Everybody, anybody can beat everybody. So I think 64 00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:06,038 Speaker 3: the biggest thing it kind of it's hailing the losses. 65 00:03:06,038 --> 00:03:07,918 Speaker 3: Don't let the reefs kind of just just roll on, 66 00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:10,038 Speaker 3: don't let just these practice weeks just roll on. Kind 67 00:03:10,038 --> 00:03:12,319 Speaker 3: of trying to get something from each and every week, 68 00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:13,758 Speaker 3: or get something for each every game. I think that's 69 00:03:13,758 --> 00:03:15,279 Speaker 3: the biggest thing I've kind of taken away from some 70 00:03:15,279 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 3: of these games. I'm getting a lot of you know, 71 00:03:16,839 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 3: big time reps and you know, getting blitzed and you know, 72 00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,279 Speaker 3: facing some zone, facing some man, having to make different 73 00:03:22,279 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 3: throws and having to be in different situations at the 74 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,479 Speaker 3: end of games. I think that's the best thing for me, 75 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,279 Speaker 3: is to get some out of these weeks and some 76 00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: of that out of these experiences so that these you know, 77 00:03:30,679 --> 00:03:33,439 Speaker 3: when things come back, hopefully and next year years to come, 78 00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:35,479 Speaker 3: that when these things matter, when these teams matter, were 79 00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:36,479 Speaker 3: prepare for and you've seen it. 80 00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:39,039 Speaker 2: We talked to you last week about your comfort dealing 81 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,519 Speaker 2: with the media and you know, your measured responses. We 82 00:03:42,559 --> 00:03:45,279 Speaker 2: saw some frustration I think Saturday from some of your teammates. 83 00:03:45,399 --> 00:03:48,679 Speaker 2: Pop Douglas just flat outside. He's sick of losing. Keon 84 00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:51,479 Speaker 2: White mentioned some things. Yeah, things have to change, We're 85 00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:55,319 Speaker 2: losing otherwise. What's the point here as a leader is 86 00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:57,879 Speaker 2: that does that fall under your umbrella? Do you talk 87 00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:00,159 Speaker 2: to guys even about things like that, like not getting 88 00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,599 Speaker 2: frustrated or if you are frustrated, not necessarily sharing it 89 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:05,719 Speaker 2: with the media the way they did postgame. 90 00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:09,879 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I didn't. I didn't see their comments. I 91 00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 3: only speak for for Over myself. So I really think 92 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 3: these guys are just betther frustrated losing. It's I'm frustrated, 93 00:04:16,318 --> 00:04:18,638 Speaker 3: and I say handling the media and the way that 94 00:04:18,719 --> 00:04:20,999 Speaker 3: sometimes media's fist the wars can be can be can 95 00:04:21,039 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: be tough. So I think the best way to fect 96 00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 3: is just, you know, work harder and final ways to win. 97 00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 3: And I think when you're when you're making plays and 98 00:04:30,159 --> 00:04:32,079 Speaker 3: and you're doing your job, that's what you always appreciate 99 00:04:32,159 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 3: your job and work hard and you know things will 100 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 3: come up on the right side. I think you know 101 00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:37,759 Speaker 3: the guys and you know what they're saying, and in 102 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,758 Speaker 3: the media will you'll be more positive. And I can't 103 00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:42,998 Speaker 3: blame on them. I think some of them stuff abelt. 104 00:04:43,119 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 3: You know, I hate losing, tired of losing. I think 105 00:04:44,919 --> 00:04:46,959 Speaker 3: we all are. So that's all I got. 106 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,398 Speaker 5: To say about that. 107 00:04:48,239 --> 00:04:51,758 Speaker 4: Drake. Your development has been a major storyline this year, 108 00:04:51,799 --> 00:04:54,438 Speaker 4: and you've talked about certain areas where you've gotten better 109 00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 4: and learned from Jacoby Brissett. You specifically mentioned run checks 110 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 4: and of course, I know in the NFL there's different protections, 111 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,078 Speaker 4: different road concepts to learn through. Now that you have 112 00:05:03,159 --> 00:05:05,558 Speaker 4: one game left here and you can look back at 113 00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:08,879 Speaker 4: your development in your season so far, is there anything 114 00:05:08,958 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 4: specifically that you think you need to continue to work on, 115 00:05:11,799 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 4: you need to continue develop or is it more just 116 00:05:13,958 --> 00:05:15,519 Speaker 4: a general thing for you? 117 00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, uh, you know, one of the big 118 00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: things us as being kind of you know, stalling out 119 00:05:21,119 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 3: drives and getting behind the change. So I think you know, 120 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 3: me looking at hey, you looking at my sacks the 121 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,079 Speaker 3: past couple weeks and see, hey, can I check it 122 00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: down or find an incompletion or throw it away? Uh, 123 00:05:31,198 --> 00:05:32,999 Speaker 3: We'll think by that, just trust to stay ahead its hands, 124 00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 3: because I think, you know, there's been times where I've 125 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 3: thrown it away or I'm kind of just you know, 126 00:05:37,958 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: thrown in the dirt and we've end up, you know, 127 00:05:39,678 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 3: staying ahead of the chains and helping us out. I 128 00:05:41,678 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 3: think just take a look at all my sacks and 129 00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: trying to find a way, hey, so I can get 130 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,238 Speaker 3: it out or not take this sack or not take 131 00:05:47,239 --> 00:05:49,558 Speaker 3: this hit, just to help my body and help the team. 132 00:05:49,958 --> 00:05:52,959 Speaker 2: Along those lines, you mentioned the fourth down sack where 133 00:05:52,958 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 2: you kind of lost those yards in an inopportune position, 134 00:05:56,479 --> 00:05:58,878 Speaker 2: gave the Chargers almost a red zone trip, even the 135 00:05:58,958 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 2: sideline hit that led to you going to the locker room. 136 00:06:02,119 --> 00:06:04,278 Speaker 2: Have you found they always say the speed of the 137 00:06:04,359 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 2: game is an adjustment. Have you found literally defensive ends, linebackers, 138 00:06:08,958 --> 00:06:10,759 Speaker 2: they get up on you quicker and maybe when you 139 00:06:10,799 --> 00:06:14,078 Speaker 2: see five yards seven yards of open grass in college, 140 00:06:14,119 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: I can pick up seven in the NFL, they close 141 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: that gap quicker. Have you noticed that speed of the game. 142 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,959 Speaker 3: I think specific players you definitely see that. I think, 143 00:06:23,999 --> 00:06:26,318 Speaker 3: you know, Derwin James one of them. He's a great player, 144 00:06:26,359 --> 00:06:29,678 Speaker 3: and when it was a problem for us on Saturday. 145 00:06:29,719 --> 00:06:31,879 Speaker 3: So there's thing that throughout the game plan throughout the 146 00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:33,278 Speaker 3: week we try to harp on. I think we just 147 00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 3: back to what I said, excuse me and execute them. 148 00:06:35,438 --> 00:06:37,638 Speaker 3: So I think, uh, he's got these level Yeah there 149 00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:40,399 Speaker 3: during the NFL, you know, making a lot of money 150 00:06:40,438 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: playing the sports. We faced two good as guys you 151 00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:45,038 Speaker 3: know last week, So I think they definitely are you know, 152 00:06:45,078 --> 00:06:49,079 Speaker 3: bigger and faster, and it uh kind of leaves the 153 00:06:49,119 --> 00:06:51,319 Speaker 3: meaning to play kind of more on time and kind 154 00:06:51,359 --> 00:06:53,238 Speaker 3: of think ahead trake. 155 00:06:53,318 --> 00:06:56,319 Speaker 4: There's obviously a ton of young players on this Patriots team. 156 00:06:56,359 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 4: And while you were the headliner of the draft class, 157 00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 4: Jalen Polk and Javon Baker and Caden Wallace were major 158 00:07:01,958 --> 00:07:04,118 Speaker 4: parts of it as well. I know Wallace has had 159 00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 4: injuries this year and has missed some time. When you 160 00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 4: look at Polk and Baker, I know it's been a 161 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:11,599 Speaker 4: tough year for them. From your perspective, how would you 162 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,958 Speaker 4: judge their development from the time you first started working 163 00:07:14,999 --> 00:07:17,479 Speaker 4: with them over the summer all the way till now. 164 00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:21,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they may play. They may play, the practice, 165 00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:24,719 Speaker 3: may play throughout camp. I think the biggest thing is 166 00:07:24,719 --> 00:07:26,479 Speaker 3: just having to translate to the game. I think those 167 00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:28,359 Speaker 3: guys are wanting to be you know, wanting to be 168 00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:30,879 Speaker 3: good players for us. There there's that even't like it. 169 00:07:30,919 --> 00:07:32,759 Speaker 3: I think just the biggest thing is translating to the 170 00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:35,119 Speaker 3: games and me will give them an opportunity. I think 171 00:07:35,119 --> 00:07:37,399 Speaker 3: that's the biggest thing. Is kind of getting comfortable kind 172 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:39,319 Speaker 3: of in the game spotlight. It took me, you know, 173 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:41,799 Speaker 3: just a couple of games too, or even a couple 174 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:45,999 Speaker 3: of couple couple drives. It takes a lot of reps 175 00:07:45,999 --> 00:07:47,519 Speaker 3: and a lot of kind of repetition to kind of 176 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:49,879 Speaker 3: get comfortable and the in the game setting. And I 177 00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:52,959 Speaker 3: think that's just kind of the testament to Les taking. 178 00:07:52,719 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 5: An approach and and me bringing them along. 179 00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:56,719 Speaker 3: It's it's assating because we need those guys and they're 180 00:07:56,719 --> 00:07:57,839 Speaker 3: gonna be great players for us. 181 00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:00,919 Speaker 2: Drake, what was your reaction to the fire Mayo chants 182 00:08:00,958 --> 00:08:02,999 Speaker 2: that we heard from the home crowd yesterday and even 183 00:08:03,239 --> 00:08:05,719 Speaker 2: the booing. Are you a guy that believes fans, you know, 184 00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:07,518 Speaker 2: have the right to boo when they show up and 185 00:08:07,559 --> 00:08:08,559 Speaker 2: don't like what they see. 186 00:08:10,359 --> 00:08:12,038 Speaker 3: I think, you know what Coach Mayo said about, Hey, 187 00:08:12,078 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 3: they're paying for the seat and you know we're not 188 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:15,799 Speaker 3: playing and winning games. You can you. 189 00:08:15,799 --> 00:08:17,879 Speaker 5: Understand their frustrating. So we're frustrated as. 190 00:08:17,719 --> 00:08:21,119 Speaker 3: Well, and time to say what Coach Mail says, We'll 191 00:08:21,159 --> 00:08:21,519 Speaker 3: be better. 192 00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:24,399 Speaker 5: I'll be better coaches, players and everybody, you know, as 193 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:25,639 Speaker 5: as a Patriots. 194 00:08:25,239 --> 00:08:27,079 Speaker 3: We want to you know, win games and play well 195 00:08:27,078 --> 00:08:29,199 Speaker 3: for these fans and we appreciate their support. So I 196 00:08:29,239 --> 00:08:32,119 Speaker 3: think they're down the road. Hopefully there's something that they 197 00:08:32,199 --> 00:08:34,159 Speaker 3: see and kind of a light at the end of 198 00:08:34,199 --> 00:08:34,599 Speaker 3: the tunnel. 199 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:37,879 Speaker 4: Drake. Cole Strange played his first game of the year 200 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 4: and he was at center on Saturday. How is your 201 00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:42,999 Speaker 4: comfort level with him? Do you think that's a role 202 00:08:43,078 --> 00:08:45,519 Speaker 4: for him going forward with you as well? 203 00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought cole Na stepped in there did a 204 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,999 Speaker 3: night job, you know, with with Bin out with I 205 00:08:52,999 --> 00:08:55,799 Speaker 3: think the biggest thing about cole was what he was discomfortable. 206 00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:57,039 Speaker 5: You can see some. 207 00:08:57,039 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 3: Plays where he's moving guys, moving d Lima in the 208 00:08:59,239 --> 00:09:02,639 Speaker 3: run game. I think that free play where he snapped it, 209 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 3: you know, kind of get him to get to catch 210 00:09:04,239 --> 00:09:06,239 Speaker 3: him off side. It's huge. You practiced that throughout the week, 211 00:09:06,319 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 3: so definitely saw some things that translated to the game. 212 00:09:08,479 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 3: And I'm sure he'd say that the jeras we could 213 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,759 Speaker 3: get better. So I think, you know, looking forward to 214 00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:14,639 Speaker 3: seeing kind of what he brings. And it was good 215 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,519 Speaker 3: to have him back out there. 216 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 2: I know you referenced the pressure at the point of attack. 217 00:09:18,719 --> 00:09:21,479 Speaker 2: I guess on that trick play the toss that turned 218 00:09:21,479 --> 00:09:24,239 Speaker 2: into a fumble, So was that play that play was 219 00:09:24,239 --> 00:09:26,519 Speaker 2: supposed to go to Pop coming across on the motion 220 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:28,838 Speaker 2: because it also looked like Hunter Henry was coming back 221 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 2: to block and there was a little bit uh traffic 222 00:09:31,239 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 2: there and and so what exactly was supposed to happen there, 223 00:09:33,359 --> 00:09:34,159 Speaker 2: I guess is my question. 224 00:09:35,239 --> 00:09:40,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you know you share too much about 225 00:09:40,319 --> 00:09:42,999 Speaker 3: the stematic of the play. Just unfortunate. You know, I 226 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,239 Speaker 3: got to make a better toss and whoever you know 227 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 3: was designed to go to I gotta be you know, 228 00:09:48,999 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 3: make a better pitch. 229 00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:54,399 Speaker 4: So so Drake. This season right now, you guys have 230 00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 4: three wins, one game to go. Last year, I know 231 00:09:56,879 --> 00:09:59,799 Speaker 4: you weren't here, but there was only four wins. There's 232 00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 4: a lot of frustration in New England. You being a rookie, 233 00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:04,879 Speaker 4: there's a ton of pressure on you to, you know, 234 00:10:05,079 --> 00:10:07,358 Speaker 4: in some people's eyes, be the savior of the franchise, 235 00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 4: but or just to be a big piece of the turnaround. 236 00:10:09,959 --> 00:10:12,759 Speaker 4: When you look at the future of this franchise, not 237 00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:14,919 Speaker 4: just this week, but going forward with you as part 238 00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:18,399 Speaker 4: of it, what's your confidence level that you guys will 239 00:10:18,439 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 4: be able to turn this thing around and have a 240 00:10:21,319 --> 00:10:23,519 Speaker 4: better football team on the field next year. 241 00:10:25,239 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm confident.
