1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Drake May.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 2: Have you come down from the high of that great game,

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: in that great victory last night.

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 3: Sure it was awesome. Yeah, I think it was awesome.

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 3: I think it's uh, you're gonna keep going. You'll work

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: on next week. You'll work on getting back and playing.

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 3: You'll win football in the consecutive weeks. That's our mindset.

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta ask you, Drake.

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 4: So, a lot of key signature plays last night, a

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 4: lot of highlights people have been sharing on TV, social

11
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 4: media and beyond.

12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: But third quarter, we'll call it the throw. The throw

13
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: to Digs.

14
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 4: You're rolling to your right, you throw a thirty five

15
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 4: yard laser that bends around the defense and into Diggs's

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 4: hands for the first down, setting you guys up inside

17
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 4: the red zone.

18
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Do you guys practice it like that?

19
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 4: Or was that like a little bit a little bit

20
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 4: of what you guys are developing together, mixed in with

21
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: some signature Drake may recess ball?

22
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just continued funny. I mean, he

23
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: saw me point and shoot, adjusted his route about as

24
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: quick as I've seen, made a great catch on the sideline,

25
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: and he continue works scrambled drill. You don't think it's

26
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: a big thing. He has some more up two throughout

27
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: the game in scrambles drill that was how we did

28
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: a good job of and he had some more up

29
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: twos that feel like, you know, on film, looking back

30
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: on you know, we missed on and improve on.

31
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna be honest with you, I wasn't even

32
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: sure Stefan Diggs would be on the field at this

33
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: point when you guys signed him in the offseason, veteran

34
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: receiver post thirty torn acl And now he's got consecutive

35
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 2: weeks with one hundred yards, one hundred and forty six

36
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 2: yards last night caught ten of twelve balls thrown his way.

37
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 2: Have you been honestly pleasantly surprised with what he's brought

38
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: to the table coming off such a major injury.

39
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: You know what I think this by the way he

40
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: works and what he loves ball. You know, I'm really

41
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: not surprised. I think he comes in here and his

42
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: mindset from the time we signed and was you know,

43
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: I want to be ready to go in week one,

44
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: and he's just been continued to get better and better

45
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: and keeps looking better and better and go out there

46
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: on the field and just get more and more contol.

47
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: He's a great player, so it's fun to have him

48
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: out there with us.

49
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: So describe for us what the week of practice and

50
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: preparation was like. Obviously, when you have to elevate your

51
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: effort and intensity on the national stage against a division

52
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: rival you've been compared to everybody's watching. Was the practice

53
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: and preparation leading up to last night's game as fiery

54
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: and feisty as the effort you guys put forth last night.

55
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean, just trying to simulate the

56
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: crowd noise. You'll try to have a focused practice, you know.

57
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: I think we stood in flight, we play our best ball,

58
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: and I think the biggest thing is that we finally

59
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: win it. Finally went a tough environment on the road

60
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: Envision opponent. That's the big thing. But I think we

61
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: still have our best ball to put forward and that's

62
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: what we're looking forward to.

63
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: Drake May, quarterback, New England Patriots. Here on a Patriots

64
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: Monday on WI afternoons. For you personally and the game

65
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: as a whole, it was the funny the game was

66
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: was sort of there were turnovers and punts in the

67
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 2: first half, then a little mini shootout kind of developed

68
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: in the second half. But for you personally, it seemed like,

69
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: you know, the pressure was getting to you a little bit.

70
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: In the first half. You were a little skittish back there,

71
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: and then the second half you were borderline per Did

72
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: you make adjustments? Did you just sort of settle in

73
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: to the flow of the game. How do you explain

74
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: how things came together so nicely in the second half

75
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: for you?

76
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just you know, using my female step

77
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: of the O line played no great all night protecting me.

78
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: You know, I think the pockets are good and you know,

79
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: just fine and go, you know, just in the second half,

80
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: you know, making adjustments and just feeling like, hey, we

81
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: can make some plays in the caves and some stuff

82
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: hopen downfield, just giving them a chance, and were in

83
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: the first half that we've heard of films and uh

84
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: it really you know, you know, credit our defense for

85
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: what's playing such a great game overall and great first half.

86
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: We should have had a bigger lead going in the

87
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: past half.

88
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: Okay, so fourth quarter tied twenty twenty. An incredible situation,

89
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: an amazing opportunity for you guys, and potentially for a

90
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: signature moment for you. You guys get the ball back

91
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: two minutes, ten seconds left, tied twenty twenty, and you're

92
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: about to lead your first fourth quarter, signature, game winning

93
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: drive for the Patriots with the with that kind of

94
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: crowd noise and that kind of hostility working against you.

95
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: What did that moment feel like for you, Drake?

96
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, just kind of uh, you know, where else would

97
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: you rather be, you know, someday night football, A chance

98
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: to beat you know, the bills that they're placed, and

99
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: the ball in my hands with a you know field,

100
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: little n you know. I think that's what you see

101
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: what you're working in training camp and all those two

102
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: mandrills for and uh, you know, work on you know,

103
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 3: throwing the throwing whole shots against cover two and little

104
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: things like that. So I think that was, uh, you

105
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: know that feel good and then go back out there

106
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: and and uhgroup and get back after it.

107
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess it also felt good to stiff arm

108
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: off a three and twenty pound defensive tackle and then

109
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: be able to get the ball to Stefan Diggs out

110
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: in the flat there. I'm wondering though, on a play

111
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: like that, in your mind, are you running like a

112
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: risk assessment? Risk reward assessment because obviously when you throw

113
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: in the flat like that, if you throw it to

114
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: a defender, he's probably going to have a pick six.

115
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: So are you balancing the risk there or is that

116
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: just instincts and you're trying to get the ball to

117
00:04:59,440 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: your guy.

118
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, just make it plays, you know. I mean I

119
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: think I kind of got pretty good eyes on you know,

120
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: where the finder's at before I throw it, So just

121
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: trying to see you'll see are.

122
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: As far as Remandre last night goes, obviously it's you know, tough.

123
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: There's the mistake early and that's been the mistakes in

124
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: a previous game which were very costly, but then comes

125
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: back and has a monster game, scoring two big touchdowns

126
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 4: for you. It feels like that sends the right kind

127
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: of message to the team, like, hey, if you make

128
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: a mistake, you know, giving your best effort, that's okay.

129
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: So long as you get back out there and keep

130
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: grinding and working as hard as you can.

131
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, just bating VERSI. You know, thing doesn't go your way,

132
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: just just to stay in it. And uh, you know,

133
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: you made some big plays for us and you have

134
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: two big touchdown runs and yeah, just just this is

135
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: part of it. Part of football, you know, things that

136
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: can go your way every every play, and I think

137
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: he's just show just kind of how much we need

138
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: him and how much of a player you can, you know,

139
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: you help us. And he's a great player at the

140
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: ball in his hands, so we're not gonna keep the

141
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: ball out of his hands.

142
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: Going back to those series of plays at the end

143
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: of the second quarter, down on the goal line, I

144
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: think it was four seconds. Maybe you had first and

145
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: goal there and you had the quick throw to Hunter

146
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: Henry who just quite couldn't haul it in. What was

147
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: that situation like that seems like pretty intense clock management

148
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: situation and were you were you trying to advocate to

149
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: go forward again with one second left or do you

150
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: think that's a good situation to take the points, get

151
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: the lead at halftime?

152
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's there's numerous times on the clot

153
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: the past play no I'm trying not to trying to

154
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: say two plays or you know, a play in a

155
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: field goal and just no, no trust coaches whatever they're thinking,

156
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: try to eke you to play and probably should have

157
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: give Hunts a little more time, but it's hard with

158
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: with four seconds trying to get it out quick.

159
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 4: Did you before before his big kick which obviously turned

160
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: out to be the game winning kicks? Speaking people who

161
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: have battled through adversity and then now come out on

162
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: the other side of history. Did you get a chance

163
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 4: to talk to Bora Gallis? And if so, did you

164
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: offer many words of encouragement?

165
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: Oh?

166
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: No, you don't talk here before a game winner. That's

167
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: kind of a rule, a good rule to go buy

168
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: for a game winner. So respect the media of new things.

169
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: Patriots quarterback Drake May here on w e I afternoons.

170
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you.

171
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people believe playing quarterback in

172
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: the NFL is about consistency. Like there's you're all talented guys.

173
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: You can all make plays, but it's who can do

174
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: it consistently week to week. And you've put up four

175
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: tremendous performances in a row here. Do you feel like, though,

176
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: beyond the big plays in the scrambles, do you feel

177
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: like you're playing the position more consistently as a young

178
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: developing quarterback.

179
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: I think you just learned the offense. I think just

180
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: learning this league and learning, you know, just take what

181
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 3: defense give you, and when they give you big plays,

182
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: just go for him. Yeah, so just just learning this system,

183
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 3: trying to know it, and another year playing these guys

184
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: and playing more and more games with Steph and the

185
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: new guys. So yeah, just another year under my elton,

186
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: just trying to learn every week and uh he approach

187
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: it as as a new week and and try to

188
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: go one another sleep.

189
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: Drake, it looked like some of your teammates were kind

190
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: of wilding on Instagram live after the game in the

191
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: locker room in Buffalo last night. Did you think about

192
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 4: popping open Instagram to join the party or did you

193
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: just enjoy the scene and all the energy that was in.

194
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: There out even see I'd even see these guys. I

195
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: know they were fired up and dance and so I'm

196
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: just just glad and you know he was aufted after

197
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: after the win, and uh, you know the emotion. So

198
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: I'm just glad that those guys are have some bump.

199
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: But we got to be smart.

200
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: Speaking of fired up, Diggs was one of those guys

201
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: dancing and his knee looks healthier than ever when he's

202
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: dancing celebrating in a postgame locker room.

203
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: How much juice did he bring?

204
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: I guess all week long he kind of talked about

205
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: how it was just a big week for him, he

206
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: was really looking forward to going back to Buffalo, and

207
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: then we got a little insight to it. He did

208
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: the pregame interview. He was clearly jacked up on the

209
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: sideline and on the field. How much juice did Stefan

210
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: Diggs bring last night?

211
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he brings it. I think he brings it every game.

212
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: He brings it every week, and I know a little

213
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: more returned, you know, one of the former teams. But

214
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: you did a great job of getting's going every week,

215
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 3: and yeah, getting's fired up to get out there and

216
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: competing like for each other.

217
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: Obviously now three and two, uh, winning record, a lot

218
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: of momentum coming off of two wins in a row.

219
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 4: Next game up for you, guys, You go on the

220
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: road down to New Orleans. New Orleans just got their

221
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 4: first win of the season, defeating the Giants yesterday. What

222
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: do you do this week to make sure that you

223
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: don't get too caught up in the high of the

224
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: big win in Buffalo, but rather can sort of reset,

225
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 4: turn the page and focus on the opponent and task

226
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: at hand.

227
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you flush it. You know, he just

228
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: wants to take so just flush it. You'll learn from it,

229
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 3: and you know that you have another tough opponent on

230
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: on the road that uh, you've gotta got toughness to

231
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: play and uh, like I said, they just come off

232
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: the first minute, they're gonna be fire.

233
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: Upton.

234
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: You've got great coach's staff and get some good players

235
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: on defense. So you're looking forward to you know, head

236
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: down there and get back after it.

237
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: Team social media posted the uh the visual of the

238
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: postgame locker room, and one of the things coach Brabel

239
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: said was something to the effect of protect or defend

240
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: your identity. That's what it's about moving forward. Uh what

241
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: does that mean to you when he asks you to

242
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: protect the identity of the Patriots?

243
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

244
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, just just put it on tape. You put it

245
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: on tate, no effort and finish and playing hard and

246
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: playing for each other and having our back out there

247
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: on the field. You know it's us, there's everybody else,

248
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: and just playing for each other, having others back, and

249
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: just having confidence and uh, not only yourself, but for

250
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 3: your guys, your teammates around you.

251
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: I think Drake, if I'm not mistaken.

252
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 4: Also at the end of the game, NBC I'm not

253
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 4: sure if anyone has showed you a screen cap or

254
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: maybe the video of it afterwards. That looked to be

255
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: the most fired up that I've seen you on the

256
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: sideline since you became a professional last year with the Patriots.

257
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: Did you find yourself getting swept up in the emotion

258
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 4: of the climax of that game and the outcome.

259
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's the first game win to go

260
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: kind in in the NFL. I think it's a good feeling.

261
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: And you being a win on the road again's a

262
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: you know, a big time opponent is Uh, it's huge

263
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: and just you know, proud of the guys and proud

264
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: of the finish.

265
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 2: Are you getting more comfortable in your own skin? And

266
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: what I mean by that is, you know, for the

267
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: last year plus you were going through the pre draft process,

268
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: the combine process. Then you're in a new place, you're

269
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: competing for a job, you're the first time now you're

270
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: winning football games, you get a winning record, you've been

271
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: the starter for a while now, where you just kind

272
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: of settling into who you are as an NFL quarterback

273
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: in person?

274
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: No, I think I've not really always had the confidence

275
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: in myself that'll go on there and play and had

276
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: to sell in a new environment. I think it's just

277
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: play for your teamates, getting another teammates and uh you

278
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 3: get to know the new coaching staff and the new area.

279
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 3: So just finding ways to like I said, just just

280
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: uh every week, just you'll treat like a new week

281
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 3: and and know that, uh, this this NFL and this

282
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 3: league is tough. Uh you know, any week, so just

283
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: approach it that way.

284
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: All right.

285
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: Before we get to the quarterback question of the week,

286
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: I got to ask you, have you been following your

287
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: tar heels with what's going on down there? Obviously a

288
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: disappointing loss to Clemson. Uh, any reaction to that as

289
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: an alum.

290
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I took in the game a little bit. No,

291
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: I know it's the first year with the new staff.

292
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: You know a lot of new players, and uh I

293
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: know they'll they'll they'll they'll figure it out down there.

294
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, I just just try to do my

295
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: best to support anyway I can, and and uh, guys

296
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: I know down there and just say hey, it's a

297
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: it's a long season and let's keep going, keep going too.

298
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: I think it's uh, it's tough.

299
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 2: So all right, it is time now for the quarterback

300
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: question of the Week, and this comes from Bill and

301
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: Bill Ricca and the question stems from a comment I

302
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: actually heard you make last night where you said something

303
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: to the effect you grew up with your brothers and

304
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: your dad talking about you always wanted the ball in

305
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: your hand with the game on the line, regardless of

306
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: what sport it was, basketball, football, whatever, And I was wondering,

307
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: do you what's your greatest memory of that situation, whether

308
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: it's youth sports, high school sports, college, of that end

309
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: of game situation with the ball in Drake May's hands.

310
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: I think it probably Grays Morland of kind of our family.

311
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 3: Was my brother, you know, hitting a big time shot

312
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: in the lead eight I think you know, play in

313
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: Kentucky and he was kind of a reserve, backup player.

314
