1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Joining us now in the phone lines is indeed the

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: quarterback of the New England Patriots. Drake May and Drake May,

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: How you doing today?

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 2: What's going on? Doing?

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: All right?

6
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're doing well.

7
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: So now we're in this phase where you know, preseason

8
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: is over, training camp is pretty much over, and you're

9
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: starting to transition sort of looking to the regular season.

10
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: So it feels like a normal time to ask you

11
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: what do you feel like you accomplished personally this summer

12
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: in training camp? And would you guys accomplish as an offense?

13
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, first off, for me and

14
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: the guys, I think just getting you accustomed to the

15
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: new offense. I think the little nuances situational football, you know,

16
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: getting face down looks, third downs, getting into a situational

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: short yard is red zone. I feel like kind of

18
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 2: coming into offense, uh, just try to you know, build chemistry.

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: You'll find some of the details and just follow our rules.

20
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: But I think as a team, you know, kind of

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: what goes Brabel's preachs, build a team, having guys earn

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: a role, and then from there you'll get ready to

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: go and get ready to compete week one. So I

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: think the guy you know, really joint practice. We've got

25
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: a lot of different looks. Our defenses gave us real

26
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: good looks to every single day in practice. So the

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: joint practice help us get you know, somebody else to hit.

28
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: And I think, uh, those guys hand a little well.

29
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: And now we're doing ready for Vegas and just building

30
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: into you know, building the bomb with the guys that

31
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: are gonna be the locker room ready to get some wins.

32
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: So, Drake, what would you say your comfort level is

33
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 4: right now in the Josh McDaniels offense. I mean, I

34
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: know you've had to switch coordinators each of at least

35
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 4: the last three seasons from college into the pros. Would

36
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: you say it's harder than anticipated? You comfy, feel like

37
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: you got a great firm grip on it.

38
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just building building it every day. I

39
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: think getting more more comfortable. I think, you know, coming

40
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: into week one with the game plan will be a

41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: little different, you know from some of the stuff were

42
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: running in practice, just because you're you're studying the defense

43
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: and studying stuff that looks good versus them. So for me,

44
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: I feel good, I still getting a good spot. I

45
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: think the guys they are coming to work every day

46
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: at practice and right now your coaches, you know, working

47
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: towards week one, and uh, I think just fine. So

48
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: the details and for me just going back over stuff

49
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: that you know may be simple, you know for me

50
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: in the past, of just going back over the little

51
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: things and you know, little protection cues and stuff that

52
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: may come up that we may haven't seen. Just to

53
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: be on top of my stuff because you never know

54
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: you'll make one sometimes, you know, defenses or you never

55
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: seen somebody play a real game, so they bring stuff

56
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: in that you may haven't seen.

57
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: One of the things that's gotten a lot of attention

58
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: between Josh and and yourself is him talking through your

59
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: headset in the helmet up to the fifteen second cut

60
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: off on the play clock, just wondering how that's going.

61
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: Is that something you're used to.

62
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: Did that take a little bit of an adjustment to

63
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: hear that sort of voice in your head as you

64
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: assessed the field?

65
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: How's that going?

66
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you know last year AVP, you know,

67
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: I think he did a little bit of it, and

68
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: I think he always tried to, you know, kind of

69
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: give a little tip of this of hey nice bro,

70
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: or hey get the guys going and little things like that.

71
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: And I think kind of coach McDaniels. He does a

72
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: great job of reminding me your reminders and and other

73
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: guy's in the huddle and little things that can go

74
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: a long way in the play. And it's really just

75
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: more communication and be on the same page as me

76
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: and coach. And I think it's, uh, it's a lot

77
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: easier to practice it. You know, they're really in the

78
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: game because in the games it's you know, it's real

79
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: life and it matters, and those guys are are hitting.

80
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: So I think it's, uh, it's great for us. You'll

81
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: work out every day in practice. And I think it's

82
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: it's like, uh, you know, anything that he's seen or

83
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: just ultimate communication of being on the same page. It's

84
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: kind of the ultimate goal of it. And I think

85
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: it's something that any quarterback, you know, positive feedback and

86
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 2: positive little words of them. Curveage is great inside it

87
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: the headset.

88
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: Patriots quarterback Drake May here with us on w e

89
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: I afternoons on a Patriots Monday. Uh, Drake, I want

90
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: to ask you this for a while. When do you

91
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: know you've got something special like a connection with a receiver, back,

92
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: tight end, whatever is is it just like suddenly click

93
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: for you and then you know like, oh we gotta

94
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: we got a groovy little thing here.

95
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, that's a good question. I think sometimes

96
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's a maybe it's a it's

97
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: a throw in the game or you know repeated you'll

98
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: play or throw in a game that you get I

99
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: think you kind of feel like, Okay, you know this

100
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: is this is something we got going. And I think

101
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: that's kind of something that you can build in practice,

102
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: but really it's kind of a it's proof when it

103
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: happens in the game, you know, kind of from from practice.

104
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: So I think I'm looking forward to, you know, seeing

105
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: plays like that and seeing kind of relationships and you know,

106
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: stuff like that during the game that kind of comes

107
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: to fruition. And I think that's one thing that you're

108
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: most excited about is kind of say, you know, when

109
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: this guy gets in open space, you know he's a problem.

110
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: Or when this guy gets one on one and he's

111
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: got this route, you know, we got something good. So

112
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: that's always the fun stuff, and it's, uh, it's something

113
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: you try to build in practice, like I said, but

114
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: you know it's really you know, a week the week

115
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: in the game. It's something that you know kind of

116
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: the back of your mind, Hey, you know always got

117
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: this you know on with this guy or on this play.

118
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: So that's a good question. It's it's fun to figure

119
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: those things out.

120
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: Along those lines.

121
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: Coach Rabel was on the Greg Hill Show on our

122
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: station this morning and he said that Stefan Diggs is

123
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: ready for the preseason, I mean for the regular season opener.

124
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: That he's gotten a lot of reps even though we

125
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: haven't seen him in live preseason action. Where do you

126
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: feel like like that relation ship is with Steph Diggs

127
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: And is that something that is going to be sort

128
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: of like what you just talked about. You feel good,

129
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: but you'll feel even better when you get a couple

130
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: of games of real action under your belt together.

131
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And I think he's coming to work

132
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: every day of practice. He's coming to work and he's

133
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: running routes really hard. He's coming in and blocking in

134
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: the run game. He's just trying to do all the

135
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: things the right way to he'll help make plays in

136
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: the field. And I think that's what these guys him

137
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: and Mac and Booty and Pop and some of those

138
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: veterans and guys that make plays in that in that

139
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: room are starting to you know, come in and work

140
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: every day, and I think that's just gonna be help

141
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: us in the long room, help us in the future,

142
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: and help us leap one.

143
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: So what's your relationship with Will Campbell? Like, I mean

144
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 4: the guy when he was drafted said he would die

145
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: out there for you on the football field. I mean,

146
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 4: do you take him everywhere? Is he like your personal

147
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: bodyguard on and off the field?

148
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I wouldn't say bodyguard. I know Will is

149
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: my guy. I think, you know, like I said in

150
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: the past, you know, coming coming in, you know, coming

151
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: up the Boston Form from the South and you know

152
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: being you know, leaving college early is really what the

153
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: top five pick is similar to, you know, kind of

154
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: journey I had. And I think, you know, the biggest

155
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: thing for me is just to share my experiences and

156
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: you'll relate to him and be there with warm and

157
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: and go out to eat with them, because last year

158
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: I didn't have anybody go eat with them. So go

159
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: out there and you'll hang out with them. And I

160
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: know it's you know, new adjustment. You'll come in here,

161
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: you know, to a new city in the North, So

162
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: I think just being there for him, you know, hanging

163
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: out and just keeping uh keeping just keeping vibes high.

164
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: And I think he's uh, he's always you'll, smiling, And

165
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: I think you see a different side of them when

166
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: it comes to practicing game day.

167
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: How about that entire offensive line?

168
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: Obviously they've been a work in progress, different combinations, different results.

169
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: How do you support that process?

170
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: And are you hopeful that you'll get maybe five guys

171
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: that then you can build a rapport with.

172
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: How does that work?

173
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's always the goal. And I think

174
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: it's it's tough with injuries, it's tough with you know

175
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: the name, you know the nature of the business. And

176
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: I think you're always trying to build, you know, five

177
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: guys that you have you know, a great a great

178
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: feel for what a great comfort level with. But I

179
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: think that's they're really just rare. You see, you know,

180
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: all seventeen games the same five guys. So I think

181
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: just they're trying to build the stable and connectivity between

182
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: between the guys up front that are in there and

183
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: maybe maybe six or seven guys or you know how many.

184
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: I think I just know the way they've been practicing

185
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: and the kind of the way they're they're hanging out

186
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: and talking with me that they're gonna you know, fight

187
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: their fight their butt off out there. You know, when

188
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: when the ball is snapped and they're doing everything they can,

189
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: you know, possibility to get things going in the run

190
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: game and and help us and pass pro So you know,

191
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: I got full full trust in those guys and you know,

192
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 2: looking forward to going out there and going to battle

193
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: with them.

194
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: Drake.

195
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: He's been one of the highlights of training camp preseason

196
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 4: in the summer ft and chisholm undrafted rookie free agent

197
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: out of Eastern Washington Cooper Cup University. UH coaches praised

198
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: his playing strength multiple times. He always seems to be

199
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: popping up in highlights. Kind of came from out of nowhere.

200
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: What do you think so far?

201
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just a great example of a

202
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: guy coming in here and trying to earn a role,

203
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: you know, do things the right way. Hanging around a

204
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: veteran like I always see him with Mac Collins of

205
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: a guy who's done in this league, being a lot

206
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: of different teams. I'm just hanging around him, going through plays,

207
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: getting extra to conditioning. He's always in the treatment room.

208
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm always jogging with him. He's always in there working

209
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: on this and you'll get his body and getting healthy.

210
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, good guys, you're the number one treatment guy.

211
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: But hey, that stuff matters, and I think you know,

212
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you know, stuff like that,

213
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: showing up every day and and doing things right, you know,

214
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: gets you on the team and gets you on the field,

215
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: and it's what let's make the Patriots so good.

216
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: In the past, from the outside looking in, it seemed

217
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: like you had a guy in Jacoby Brissett last year

218
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: that was a good veteran to learn from, a good mentor.

219
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Now that's a little bit of a different setup. You're

220
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: the starter, Josh Dobbs as the veteran backup that comes in.

221
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: What is your relationship like with Dobbs and and what

222
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: can you learn from him as you evolve yourself?

223
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know. First off, you know, Dobbs

224
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: is the man. I think this is another scenario of

225
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 2: a guy who's been in the league be in a

226
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: lot of different systems. You'll play in some games, play

227
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: in the game where he came in on Tuesday, you know,

228
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: with the vikings and started Sunday. So he's seen a

229
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: lot of different ball He's been a lot of different schemes,

230
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: and I think there's a guy who has a lot

231
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: of knowledge and just trying to ask him questions and

232
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: and see how he's done things, and uh, you know,

233
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 2: always I think in the quarterback room, just trying to

234
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: you know, feed off each other for each other. And

235
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: I think he's been great and you know, he's been

236
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: throwing a great practice. So it's always good to know,

237
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 2: you know, guy who has a lot of knowledge and

238
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: also can can show it when he's doing another practice.

239
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: So Drake, Drake, I want to know, you know, what's

240
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 4: what's your level of input like when it comes to

241
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: both like designing the offense and then potentially uh with

242
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: cutdown day approaching, have they talked to you about any

243
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: guys that you've got good vibes on or good feel

244
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 4: for or just how how do they relate to you

245
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: when it comes to all those specifics in terms of

246
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: play calling, personnel.

247
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: Or what have you.

248
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 2: Oh, shoot, you know, I got nothing to do with that.

249
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: I think those I think that you know the front

250
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: office and the coaching staff, that's what you know their

251
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: jobs to do and I think, you know, to ask

252
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: my opinion, I'll give it, but you know, really I'm

253
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: just trying out here to do my job, do my part,

254
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: leave the guys whoever's out there, and then the Patriot's uniform,

255
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: and then you know, from the from the scheme wise,

256
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: and then in the offensive scheme. I think your coach

257
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: McDaniel's offense has proven the pretty darn't good in the past,

258
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: So just trying to you'll learn as much as I

259
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: can and and uh, you know, execoot and get out

260
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: there in week one?

261
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: Does anything feel any different the excitement level as you

262
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: prepare for the season opener as the starter? I mean,

263
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure going back to high school, they were you know,

264
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, you were young, you weren't the starter, then

265
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: you become the starter college same thing last year you

266
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: played but not the opening game. Is Is there any

267
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: different juice as you look ahead to the season opener

268
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: knowing you're the starting quarterback.

269
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. I think it's you know, well, last year,

270
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: you know, preparing and and trying to you know, kind

271
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 2: of review the call sheet and and uh kind of

272
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: hit guys here and there, you know, as the backup

273
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: going into Week one, I think there's always a different

274
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: kind of juice when you're coming out here as a

275
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: starter and you run out there the first snap and

276
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, the juices are flowing, and those guys are,

277
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: you know, looking at me, and it's my huddle and

278
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: it's my offense. So I think it's a it's a

279
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: different feel, and I think I'm excited. That's one of

280
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 2: the things I'm most excited for. They got there and

281
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start week one, and I think, uh, you know,

282
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: I think with the home crowd in front of our fans,

283
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: and I think there's a lot of build up always

284
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: for week one, and I think it's always good to

285
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: get out there and show out.

286
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 4: Uh Drake, it's also our job to help people, not

287
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 4: just get to know. Drake made the competitor, Drake made

288
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 4: the quarterback, but Drake made the person as well. So

289
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: I know you're kind of getting down to all business now.

290
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 4: But what was the non football, non wedding highlight of

291
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: the summer?

292
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 2: Non football, non wedding highlight of the summer? Oh I

293
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: broke eighty for the first time in golf.

294
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: Oh wow?

00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: Highlight? Yeah, shot seventy nine If that counts it?

296
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 4: Sure does you kidded me actually have won seventy nine?

297
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: Come on now, I won't I won't touch the clubs

298
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: again to out of the season, but that it was good,

299
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 2: no good feeling out there. And other than that, I

300
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 2: think just just anytime hanging around my brothers, my three

301
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: brother older brothers, you know I was playing golf or

302
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: pickleball or being around them is always, you know, a highlight.

303
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,679

00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: side of the end zone at Jillette Stadium.

313
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I always go check out the statue.

314
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: I think once you know something that that cool and

315
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: that special is is built and recognized for Tom. I

316
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: think I think it was during a preesting game where

317
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: they revealed it, and I came out here and watched

318
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: his speech. I think he's he's always great at giving

319
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: giving those types of speeches and and hyping the fans

320
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: up and uh and being authentic and and real about

321
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: what the what the game and how seriously approached it

322
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: and what the game did for him. So I wouldn't say, uh,

323
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it gives me uh any nerves or

324
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: like like expectation. I think it's just more of respect

325
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: and appreciation for what he did, you know, for the Patriots,

326
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: for New England, and really for the NFL. So it's always, uh,

327
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: it's always pretty cool watching like I said, watching the

328
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: film back and seeing uh, you know number twelve, you

329
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: know in some of the same players run out there

330
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: and practice today, kind of going through the same same

331
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: process and and what he was thinking and what and

332
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: how coach knows what he was thinking. Just try to

333
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: enjoy that and embrace that as much I can, because that's,

334
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 2: you know, really special and something that I don't take

335
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: for granted.

336
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: You mentioned watching him speak.

337
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Do you do that with other quarterbacks, because it's obviously

338
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks do a lot of interviews and there's a lot

339
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: of questions asked. Do you take notes and look at

340
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: how guys answer certain questions or do you just sort

341
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: of go with your gut and wing it.

342
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's really what you know, growing up

343
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 2: and and being in middle school and being in high school,

344
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: and you know, watching NFL games and watching the post

345
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: press conferences or conference or pressors on the field after

346
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: the win. I think that's where I kind of kind

347
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: of remember and kind of get the most, got the

348
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 2: most out of, you know, in my uh kind of

349
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: my in my younger days of watching those quarterbacks that

350
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: I beloved and and uh, you know, wanted to be

351
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: like and wanted to play like, and how they handled

352
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: interviews and how they always put it on themselves and

353
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: cared about the team and and wanted to win and

354
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: compete and competitive. I think that's kind of what was

355
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: really the biggest thing I kind of got from being

356
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: such a big fan of uh, you know, playing fantasy

357
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: football and that stuff and as a young kid, And

358
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: that's kind of the biggest thing I took away from

359
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: those quarterbacks like Peyton and Tom and some of those

360
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: guys that I got a chance growing up in a

361
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,880
