1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Drake May, how are we doing this Monday?

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm a tough, tough one, but I'm doing right.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: It was a tough one.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: Uh, certainly you had chances to win throughout. How do

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 3: you guys handle react to all the turnovers? Five turnovers?

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 3: I mean obviously you had a couple, but Remandre had

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 3: a couple. How do you support each other but also

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 3: make sure it's not something that's allowed to stick around

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: and fester.

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's shot right around each other and

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: pump each other up first off, just kind of disguise

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: and how important you know, holding the football and texting

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: it is. You know, you can't It's hard to win

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: game in this league when you lose the turnover battle,

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: especially by the margin that we did. So it's round

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: around so other know that. Shoot, it's important protecting me

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: out with the ball, protect the ball yourself, and I

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: think just the positive from it. You know, we still

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: move the ball and have some players that we left

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: out there knowing and still remain in the game. So,

21
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: you know, tough take away, you know, something positive from

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: five turnovers. But I think at the end of the day,

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: and you know, fixing that and it's something that's not

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: just something that you can just say, Hey, nextly, we're

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: going to fix it. Something to get you know, take

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: take pride, practice and you know in the game when

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: matters of uh, you know, trying to fix it.

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: Drake.

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 4: I saw you yesterday on field pregame talking to Matt

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: Ryan on the NFL on CBS, and when he asked

31
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 4: you what the key to the game was, you said

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 4: you just had to get the ball.

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 5: You had to start running the ball. Run the ball

34
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 5: would be key yesterday and.

35
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 4: It seemed like, uh, you know, there were some some

36
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: effective running plays, but obviously you weren't able to Was

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: that a product of Pittsburgh's defense or you know, turning

38
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: the ball over or maybe a combination they're in.

39
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, just not getting in a groove. Really, the running game,

40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: I think, uh, I think we're close, you know, Walkington, Tayback,

41
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: we're closing some runs, close to you know, having some

42
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: of them pop. So I think, just keep going, just

43
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: keep buying into it. And those guys are blocking hard

44
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: up front, those backs are good players. So just yeah,

45
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: I think just getting a groove and I think someone

46
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna pop, you know, later on.

47
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: Down the road.

48
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: I think both you and Josh McDaniel's early year this

49
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: year had some comments similar about you know there's you know,

50
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: there's good plays, or there's plays you learn from, Like

51
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: that's sort of the options when you're out there.

52
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Uh.

53
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: In terms of that interception at the goal line in particular,

54
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: is that is an example of a play you learned

55
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: from and that experience maybe will change the way you

56
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: approach a similar situation in the future.

57
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I think you learned from any intercept from

58
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: you throw. You know, I think it's unfortunate how I

59
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 2: got tipped and you know, I was trying to throw

60
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: kind of a little back floor ball to Booty would

61
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: have been touchdown. So maybe given a different ball flight

62
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: to it. You know, it's my learn down there. But

63
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: really I wouldn't change my decision down there throwing it.

64
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: So that's unfortunate that you know, good player got his

65
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: hands on it and you know bus from there I

66
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 2: wouldn't change.

67
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: And a quick follow up on that on your fumble,

68
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: I know postgame last night you made something some comment

69
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: to the effect just trying to do something stupid or dumb.

70
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: Is that another example just experience where the speed the situation,

71
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: you know, when.

72
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: To live to fight another play?

73
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: Is that another one you'll sort of put in your

74
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 3: back pocket and might alter things down the road.

75
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt you can't do that when we got

76
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: a chance, you know, with the game on the line.

77
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

78
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 4: I saw the post game yesterday Drake that you said

79
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: that you need to tell Pop to uh, you need

80
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 4: to tell Pop to get that extra yard or I

81
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 4: forget the I forget the actual wording, and it felt

82
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: to me like you were kind of taking one for

83
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: the team and helping Pop out there.

84
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,279
Speaker 5: I mean, do you believe that you really need to remind.

85
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 4: Everybody what they need to do on a specific got

86
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: to have it type of play or or is that

87
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: just is that leadership on display from you.

88
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: It's my job in the huddle of hey we're in

89
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 2: short guard, or hey guys up front, a run player

90
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: on needy yard. I think just certain plays where I

91
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: can just give them something, you know, one last reminder

92
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: before they run out and run the route or try

93
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: to acute to play. I think that's always something that

94
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: can go a long way. And you know, my voice

95
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: matters in the huddle and just using that to the

96
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: best of my ability and the best play to kind

97
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: of keep everybody on the same page and kind of

98
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: just as I said, it's one last little reminder would

99
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: be sweet.

100
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: Patriots quarterback Drake May here with us on a Patriots

101
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: Monday w E I afternoons. We've had sort of a

102
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: lot of negative tones questions so far. Let's go to

103
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: the positive. It looks like you and Hunter Henry were

104
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: really feeling it. A couple of touchdowns in there, he

105
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: was making plays. How good is that relationship, the trust level?

106
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: I know, you guys go back basically all of last year.

107
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: You had a good relationship. How much faith do you

108
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: have in Hunter Henry when you need a play?

109
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know he's a great player here,

110
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 2: He's one of them. She was the best you know

111
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: today that I played with in my lifetime. So just

112
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: trying to keep growing and keep kind of seeing the

113
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: same things. I thought he'd a great job of getting

114
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: his head around on the second touchdown, and you know

115
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: he's a mismatch and against really whoever is manning him up,

116
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: so you know he's he's tough. The guard and him

117
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: and Hoop do a great job of kind of having

118
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: a one to two punch in the run game. In

119
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: the past game and they play off each other. Well,

120
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: so yeah, just keep on, continue to grow and some

121
00:04:59,240 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: way to.

122
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: Get him the drake.

123
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: You were the team's leading rusher yesterday. Look great out there.

124
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: I think it was seven carries total for forty five yards.

125
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: How comfortable are you running the ball now and using

126
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: your feet as a weapon and bailing the offense out

127
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: at times during those got to HAVEVID plays?

128
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I felt comfortable. Comfortable really my whole career

129
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: making plays and you had to just get to continue

130
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: to find them, trying to make grows, you know, outside

131
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 2: the pocket and keep my head downfield and things instance

132
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: yesterday that I could have maybe made easier on some

133
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: of the close you know, kind of slides the subdition

134
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: ounce to one of our players. So just keep my

135
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: head up and remaining a pass for long as I

136
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: can and just keep them hon us on the run.

137
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: Game, the cameras caught you your back of your head

138
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: hitting the turf down there in the red zone and

139
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: then your hands kind of reaching up and grabbing your

140
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: head at that same time.

141
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: Were you dinged up? Did you feel anything.

142
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: There or were you just more worried about hopping up

143
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: so you wouldn't unnecessarily maybe miss a play due to

144
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: the spotter situation. I know you went through experience with

145
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: that last year. Just take us through what happened there.

146
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I felt good. You know, I think, you know,

147
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: kind of right after you you hit hit the ground,

148
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: how you feel, you know, coming off of a hit

149
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: like that. So yeah, probably sit thrown away earlier, but

150
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: I felt good and felt fine.

151
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: You said earlier last week that you need to get

152
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: Stefan digs the ball more and get him involved in

153
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: the offense.

154
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: Unfortunately only three targets yesterday.

155
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 4: Was that? Was that more of a situational thing? Was

156
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: that part of the game plan? And how do you

157
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: think you can work on that going forward?

158
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think there's some saw through that left out

159
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: there that you know had had Steph open and I think, uh, yeah,

160
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: he's doing everything right. He's playing hard. He did some

161
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: things that didnt show up in the in the staff

162
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: blow throughout the game that were huge. So just continue

163
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: to you know, tell him I'm coming his way. And

164
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: all those guys in the receiver room, you know, they're

165
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: they're they're doing good things. Just gotta you know, do it. Uh,

166
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: you know, kind of.

167
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: Every play as you seek efficiency with all those guys

168
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: with the wide receiver position as a whole. Uh, Pop

169
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: Douglas has been targeted thirteen times, only five catches. I

170
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: don't feel like that's a great efficiency number right there.

171
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: How do you improve that relationship? Is that just? Is

172
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: that practice? Is that reps? How do you try to

173
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: make that a more efficient relationship?

174
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: No too, I mean he has a big game for

175
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: us last year. I don't think it's anything you know

176
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: we need to change. Just you know, I missed him

177
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: a couple of times where he had to catch with

178
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: some big plays. So h just uh yeah, to come

179
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: and keep going, keep running rouph hard, keep practicing hard,

180
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: keep doing things the right way. The balls want to

181
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: find them. You know, I'm not worried, you know about Pop.

182
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: He's he's made the big plays for us, and he's

183
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: a a tough mispatch.

184
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: So you said that your voice is important in that huddle,

185
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: and I imagine you probably had some supportive words to

186
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: offer to teammates, especially Remandre with the fumbles, you know,

187
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: tough outcome yesterday. But I'm just very curious, what's the

188
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: best something someone ever said to you in football could

189
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: be college, high school, even in the pros after you

190
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: had a tough moment or to flaws.

191
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Shoot, that's a good question practice wise. One

192
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: of my first probably weeks here too, I remember David

193
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: Andrews saying, uh to me after uh, you know practice

194
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: out there and training camp or maybe an oh C

195
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: as he said, it's never as good as you thought

196
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: it was. It's never as bad as you thought it was.

197
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: And you know, this is the NFL, and this is

198
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: this is how you got to approach it. You know,

199
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: it's it's on to the next. So that's one of

200
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: the best things practice wise. Game wise. Shoot, I'm trying

201
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: to just just learn on my own that how impactful

202
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 2: some of these you know, certain plays in these game situations,

203
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: you know how impactful they are off for the game,

204
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: and just really just you gotta take it, you know,

205
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: every play like it's it's gonna be one that changed

206
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: the game. So I think, you know, coach the games

207
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: just taught me that, and Jacoby Brissette helped teap you

208
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: that last year. Just known the situation and know how

209
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: important that those plays can be.

210
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: Patriots quarterback Drake may here on w e I afternoons Drake.

211
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: Tom Brady made some news last week when he was

212
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: talking about on a podcast the development of young quarterbacks

213
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: and how young quarterbacks are kind of fast tracked onto

214
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: the field and and these different things. And I'm just wondering,

215
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: You're in year two of this process. You played last year,

216
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: you're the starter right now at open the season. What

217
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: do you think of this process? Has this been harder

218
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: than you expected it to be. Have you, you know,

219
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 3: felt like you're drinking from a fire.

220
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: Hose, so to speak?

221
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: What is this process like making the leap to franchise

222
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL?

223
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this process is h while I'm playing

224
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: the game, you know, while I play football, you know,

225
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: while I'm trying to win, while I'm trying to win

226
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: so hard. While she was one of the most positions

227
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: in sports, you know, it's a it's an awesome position.

228
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: It's great, you know, uh, you know, learn from different coordinators.

229
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: It's awesome kind of be able to you know, pull

230
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: some from each you know. With Lake coach McDaniels does

231
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: his offense just learning defense and pick up little things

232
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: here and there from veterans and quarterbacks in the room

233
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: with me. So yeah, I'm loving it. You know, it's

234
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: a It's something that I don't take for granted. I'm

235
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: blessed to be in a position and just looking forward

236
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: to keep attacking it every day and put some good

237
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: stuff on tape. And I think we got the guys

238
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: in the in this building to do that and just

239
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: just keep working.

240
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: Drake.

241
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: As you continue to establish yourself as a top tier

242
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: starter in the NFL and a top member of the

243
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four NFL quarterback first round class, I'm curious

244
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 4: do you keep in touch with some of the other

245
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: quarterbacks or do you have relationships with some of those

246
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: guys like Kleb Bo, Michael Panix. You guys have like

247
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: a group chat or anything like that.

248
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: No, nothing really, I mean we see each other the

249
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: off season sometimes and obtu when you play or a

250
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: joint practices. We had them with both of the two

251
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: guys in my class, So yeah, you got to know

252
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: him good throughout the process of drafted. And you know

253
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: Caleb and JJ and some of those guys. I was

254
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: back in high school with at leegual eleven stuff, so

255
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: it's cool to see you know, the journey of them.

256
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, those guys are are good dudes, But like said,

257
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: we're competitive, and we're competing when you know it's a

258
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: football season.

259
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: Drake just circling back.

260
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: I meant to ask you this earlier to that possession

261
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: on the goal line.

262
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Three straight pass plays.

263
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: But Mike Frable was on with the Greg Hill Show

264
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 3: this morning, he kind of alluded to that, you know,

265
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: there's some alerts there there could be a run option,

266
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: a run play option, just without getting into specific game plan,

267
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: sort of explain to us how that works and how

268
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: that situation maybe could have played out differently, or or

269
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 3: if you're comfortable with how it played out with three

270
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: straight passes.

271
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think it's just the time. It's

272
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: such an important factor down there, and you know, using timeouts,

273
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: and we got them to draw them all sides, so

274
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: they put in their big group and just you know,

275
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: the first when we're trying a little play action to

276
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: hopefully you know, catch him in a you know, man

277
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: with rods of the backfield, and they passed it all.

278
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: But uh, you know, really I think down there, you're

279
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: just trying to you know, try to get a man's

280
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: hotail and trying to run it. You know, when they're

281
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: they're playing the pass and trying to you know, throw

282
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: it when they're playing the run. The main gist of

283
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 2: of down there, up pulls and the goal line. You know,

284
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: it's just such tight windows and tight spaces you're trying

285
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: to you throw it in tight windows, and you know, think,

286
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: you know what we had, what we had going, we had,

287
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: you know, good solid plays. I think you wish it

288
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: would have obviously had the last one back and uh

289
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: maybe the first maybe the second one I could have

290
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: ran it. So you have just some decisions that you're learning,

291
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: you know, learning from and learning kind of looks in

292
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: our guys and and what the defense is doing.

293
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 4: So we've only seen him on the field in the preseason,

294
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: hasn't been active for the first three games, but just

295
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: in case he happens to be active for this Sunday's

296
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: game against the Carolina Panthers, that you're let what's your

297
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: what's your take on rookie undrafted free agent wide receiver

298
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: after Chisholm and what kind of report do you guys have?

299
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he uh, you know, he's been awesome since you

300
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: know the day guy here, he's kind of tagged along,

301
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: you know veterans and you know, guy like mac collums.

302
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: You always see him staying after and getting extra conditioning

303
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: in and drawing up plays and drawing off the play sheets.

304
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: So I've watched you caught him here laid in the building,

305
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: you know, numerous times and watching extra tape, and you know,

306
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: Meet is trying to teach him and show through you know,

307
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: what I see and what I'm seeing from the quarterback

308
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: this and what he's seeing. So he's doing all the

309
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: right things and just continue to show up and do

310
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: stuff and do stuff on practice, uh, you know, on

311
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: scout team. And I think it's gonna end up payoffs,

312
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: but yeh think you've got a right future, Drake.

313
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,080

321
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: They are young guys thrust into.

322

Speaker 2: when I got up here drafted, I got to meet

326
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: from the Celtics guys and offer. He was a he

327
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,160

328
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,280

329
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: him at when he came out here at practice. So

330
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: that's about his obviously recovery and road recovery. So yeah,

331
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: it's always it's so different when you're out here running

332
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: like a three hundred twenty pounds, you know, big linemen

333
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: and stuff, and a guy like Jason walked out and

334
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,200

336
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,400

Speaker 2: both both Marcelo and Rome and you know when they

338
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: got called up and uh just reached out to him

339
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: and I think I talked to him maybe maybe both

340
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: of them once on FaceTime. So uh, you know, there's

341
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,800

343
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,360

344
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: it's always cool to keep up with the stars. And

345
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: try to get to know him.

346
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,000

348
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: any any twist in the allegiance there is that gonna

349
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: be tough playing the first time ever playing against a

350
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 4: team that was kind of the NFL team who grow

351
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:52,960
