1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I think is it safe for me to stay Let's

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: start with the injuries. I think we all felt a

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a dark cloud yesterday when Jared left

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: the game and then Will was carted off. Is it

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: safe to say you're feeling a little bit better about

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: the health of your teammates today. It seemed that was

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: the tone that Mike Frable took with the media earlier today.

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think those guys are You're gonna

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 2: work hard to get back, and you know their their

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: injury issue, though there is talk about so I only

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: been done a great job for this year and looking

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: forward they come back, looking forward to having them back Drake.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: Obviously, yesterday when we were doing the postgame show, we

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 3: and many other Patriots fans were a little worried and

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: it was a nail bier of a game. But I

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: just want to take a moment to step back and

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: appreciate the positive as well. I mean, you guys have

18
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: ten wins, you're the number one seed in the conference

19
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: right now, nine wins in a row, and you guys

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: are undefeated on the road. How does it feel to

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: just be where you guys are at and is there

22
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: any way you guys thought you'd possibly be this far along,

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: be here this soon.

24
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good treat for us to you know, still

25
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: try to work, continue to get better. I think you

26
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: know the spot we're in right now for uh, you know,

27
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: at this point in the season, it's something that you know,

28
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: you work forwards. That's where you played in the league

29
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: for to have a chance to you know, play in

30
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: the playoffs and host a playoff games. So I think

31
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: it's a great opportunity for us to you know, get

32
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: this one Monday night and then you have it by

33
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: and come back and realize, you know, kind of what

34
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: we're playing for, and really first time for for me

35
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: and and some of us down locker room playing for

36
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: something like this. So you know, I think we're excited,

37
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: and I know how much work goes into it and

38
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: knows how much you know, it's important to keep improving

39
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: throughout the season and you know, just fine ways to

40
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: you know, get wins, and we did that yesterday.

41
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Does it say something about the bar that you guys

42
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: have set as a team. You know, this is a

43
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: team that only won four games each of the last

44
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: two seasons. Now you get your tenth win of the season,

45
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: you're leading the NFL and wins and people are kind

46
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: of kind of nitpicking. Is that an example of the

47
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: way that you guys have elevated the bar and the

48
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: expectations this season.

49
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: I think that's that's kind of what the standard you

50
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: want to set. I think you want to win games

51
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: and feel good coming out after a win, feel like, hey,

52
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: we we played you know, good football, and I feel

53
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: like we didn't leave anything out there. I think, you know,

54
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: for myself, you know, I think there's numerous plays and

55
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: throws and just you know times that yesterday which I

56
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: feel like I could have played better and helped the

57
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: team and not put you know, the team and uh,

58
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: you know, bad situations, and I feel like there's this

59
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: guys the team that we left some out there. And

60
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: I think that's what you want to that's what you want.

61
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: That's kind of the standard for trying to to build.

62
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: We want to play clean football and you know, not

63
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: give you put our need the bad spots and you know,

64
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: not give them three seven points me throwing them one.

65
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: So those things that you want to work hard to eliminate.

66
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: And I think it's it's something that it's good, it's

67
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: it's easier to do after a win, but it's it's

68
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: almost kind of tough when you still win. You play

69
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: like that and still come out with a win, So

70
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: there's different ways to look at it.

71
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go back to early in the game yesterday, Drake.

72
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: First couple of passes you throw seem to have a

73
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: little extra air on them. Was Was that just a

74
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: case of getting adjusted to the conditions? Were you a

75
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: little geeked up? Did they accidentally give you a kicking

76
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: ball to throw? What was going on early in the game.

77
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just told I probably wish I would. I

78
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: would like to have that, you know, the one to

79
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: the trayveon slash oop. I had both of them open

80
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: and getting the side which on the throw two and

81
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: in the middle of them, and then uh the one

82
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: to Hunter over the middle. I'm just just do it

83
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: a little higher. Had some some throws later on over

84
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: some linebackers that were better, but uh, yeah, I just

85
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: got to make their throws early on, and nothing really

86
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: I felt get thrown it. Still just gotta make better throws.

87
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: When you're in a situation like that and you are

88
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: a little off for getting off to a slow start,

89
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: do you how do you handle that? Do you do?

90
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: You do self talk?

91
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: Do you?

92
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, go throw on the sideline? Is there

93
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: anything you do to dig out of it? Because you

94
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: obviously dug out of it. You had a nice stretch

95
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: right after that, So so how do you dig out

96
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: of that? Yeah?

97
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: I think the teammates around me do a great job.

98
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: You use your teammates, you know they're they're pumping me up.

99
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: And just no price for what you work for and

100
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: trust in and what I do for a living. And

101
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: I think that's really the on Just get ready for

102
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: the next one. I think, just get ready for the

103
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: next one. And I realized that, you know, things like

104
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: that happened in this league, and I told those guys

105
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: this side one and it won't won't happen again me

106
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: throwing them. Uh, it wasn't like that to him, and

107
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 2: it didn't.

108
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: So in a season of great deep passes where your

109
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: deep ball, the passes thirty yards and longer have been

110
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: so excellent, Drake, I have to say that pass to

111
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: Pop Douglas, I believe that was in the third quarter

112
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: down the scene. I think that was probably the best

113
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: throw I've seen you make all season. What did you

114
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: see there And how were you able to drop that

115
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: pass to Pop in a sea of Cincinnati defenders.

116
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, just third and long, trying to give him a

117
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: chance to make a play. And you saw a linebacker's

118
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: running with him up the pipe and just try to

119
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: give him a ball to to make a play on it.

120
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: He made a great play, made a great catch and

121
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: you know s third and long. So just trying to

122
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: give us a chance to move the chains and that

123
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: was a big play for us. And proud of Pop

124
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: for just you know, keep on, you know, kind of

125
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: making plays when his numbers called, and he keeps on

126
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: showing up.

127
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: Patriots quarterback Drake May here on w I afternoons on

128
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: a Patriots Monday. Uh, we saw you attempt a tush

129
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: push there on the goal line. How comfortable are you

130
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: in that play? How much of you guys practiced that play?

131
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: And what is sort of your execution point there? What's

132
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: your mindset on that play?

133
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got to get in there for for my quarterback,

134
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: my size. I got to do my part of you know,

135
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: getting the yard and uh, you know guys dive at

136
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: their knees and linebackers ready to go, but you I

137
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 2: got to get into the yard and yeah, my brothers

138
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: gave me a hard time after the game. I got

139
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: a final way to get in.

140
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: So, uh, what do you think will be key for

141
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 3: yourself and the offense overcoming some of the red zone

142
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: and goal line struggles you had yesterday? I know there

143
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: are a bunch of rons and then that got stuffed

144
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: and then you had the pass to Hunter in the corner,

145
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: but then that gets called back for the OPI on mac.

146
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: What's going to be the key in practice going forward

147
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: to overcoming that?

148
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so just just execution and practice execution

149
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: and you know, working hard and practicing hard and practice

150
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: execution is is huge and something that you know, coach

151
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: McDaniels is big on. So just just practice and keep on,

152
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: you know, trying to execute and practice and excel and

153
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: practice and from there just try to have that translate

154
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: to the game. I really think it's a mindset down

155
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: in the red zone. It's a mindset to get a

156
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: yard on the one yard line or or find way

157
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: to punch it in.

158
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: Oh. Coach Rabel talked about Will Campbell and Jared Wilson

159
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: and some good information as press conference. As I said today,

160
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: but it looks like you'll probably be playing without those

161
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: guys this week. You'll have a new left tackle, Viderian

162
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: Lowe came in the game the other day. I was wondering,

163
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: is there anything you can do as a quarterback to

164
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: help out a guy that's sort of being thrown out

165
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: there to the Wolves at such a tough spot as

166
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: left tackle. What can you do to help him?

167
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, sh I's toole v low and uh, you know

168
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: Ben Brown. I told them, both of them, you know,

169
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: all those reps we got last year, know those are

170
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: going to pay off and and game reps. So you know,

171
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: they've been good in practice and uh, I've made me

172
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: feel comfortable when you know they do get rep you practice,

173
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: you know in the pocket. And that's the biggest thing

174
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: I tell them is that I trust you guys and

175
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: get full faith in them. And I think they've They've

176
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: done a nice job and they continue to do a

177
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: nice job.

178
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: Drake, considering that you guys have been through so much

179
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: this year and the season has gone spectacularly at ten

180
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: and two, you know a lot of the wins recently

181
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: sort of once nothing comes easy in the NFL, but

182
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: things have really gone your way for a while and yesterday,

183
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: it seemed like you guys did face adversity multiple times.

184
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: Do you think that a game like that where it

185
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: was in the balance until the end and you did

186
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: have a lot of hurdles to overcome, do you think

187
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: that's kind of something you guys may have needed to

188
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: to grow as a team. You discussed as much with

189
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: Melanie Collins on field on CBS afterwards, But I'm curious

190
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: how that's resonating today.

191
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we've we've continued to face adversity and

192
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: offense defense, sesch teams or fine ways that battle back

193
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: when plays don't go our away, and because Rable's been

194
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: huge on that, you know, responding from plays that do

195
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: go your way, responding from plays that don't go your way,

196
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: just get out to the next play. And that's and

197
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: then we've kind of taken the heart and I think,

198
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: you know, I appreciate for how coach Rabeles kind of

199
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: instilled that into our brains, into our mindset. And that's that's,

200
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: like I said, that's this league of battling back, and

201
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: it's been good for us to you know, kind of

202
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: be battle tested and not not having kind of our

203
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: way through some of these games. And having to make

204
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: plasuent any of the games, because that's what it's going

205
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: to be like, you know down the road.

206
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned other players helping you lift your spirits or

207
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: bounce back from a slow start. Uh, how do you

208
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: do that as a leader? Are you good at that

209
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: or do you feel like that's something you're kind of

210
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: growing into as a leader helping Vrabel kind of sell

211
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: that message.

212
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just try to, uh, you know, with just

213
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: different position groups. You know, off in the line, I said, hey,

214
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: keep doing keep doing a great job. Receivers, keep telling them, hey,

215
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm coming to you, you know, keep running out hard,

216
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: and you know, running backs is a different thing. It's

217
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: it's kind of a they're always hue stuff kind of

218
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: ready to go. So I just kind of try to

219
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: do my you know, your own way with you know,

220
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: how I know them personally and what position they play,

221
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: and just try to you know, the skill guys if

222
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: you want the ball and then off the line likes

223
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: to hear of them, you'll keep doing a nice job.

224
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 2: So just try to mix it up and try to

225
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: relate the message of what kind of you know, we're

226
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: trying to, you know, do it as as a team.

227
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: How excited are you for the next game. Obviously you

228
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: get one extra day and there's a nice holiday in

229
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: the in the middle, so you can uh get some

230
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 3: good grub and family time. But how excited are you

231
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 3: for your first Monday night football game and at home,

232
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: no last, in front of your home fans.

233
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna be pretty cool. You know, that's what you

234
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: grew up watching, you know, Monday night football, and you know,

235
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: trying to beg my parents. So let me stay up past,

236
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: you know, into the first quarter back when I was young.

237
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: And remember you got moth back in the day. So no,

238
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: it's uh, it's cool playing on Monday night, you know,

239
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: first Monday night game. It'll be it'll be pretty sweet

240
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: playing it at home. So I'm looking forward to it.

241
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: I saw a package you did with ESPN over the

242
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: weekend where they, I think read you some tweets from

243
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: an account called Drake may Lover, and some of them

244
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: were very complimentary but also a little weird. I might say,

245
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: have your eyes been open to sort of your star

246
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: power or the celebrity status you've reached very quickly here

247
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: in Boston.

248
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: Uh No, Sally, I just appreciate the way Boston's embraced

249
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: me and you know, kind of embraced us as a

250
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: as a team as we're trying to, you know, give

251
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: them something to cheer for. And uh, I think the

252
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: more we found ways to win, the more that, you know,

253
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: the fans appreciate it. So we're just trying to go

254
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: out there every Sunday and put something on on tape

255
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: and on television for Patriots fans and and uh, you

256
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: know that I enjoy watching and I think we got

257
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: to keep trying to do that.

258
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Drake.

259
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: If there was one quarterback past or present whose brain

260
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: you could pick for some insight at the position and

261
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 3: how to maintain uh success and deal with all of

262
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: the ins and outs of the NFL, who might that be?

263
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think ask the easy question the greatest ever.

264
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: It's easy to you know, say, you know what Tom

265
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: did and in this organization, uh, with this you know

266
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: the same coordinator, and it'd be shoot, it'd be awesome

267
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: to you know, sit down with any of the ones

268
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 2: that that won super Bowls or you'll play at a

269
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: high level. So you got a great opportunity to meet

270
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: some of them. And it's always hard to you know,

271
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: sit down and pick their brain, you know, in such

272
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: a pitty times with both of our lives. So with

273
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: all the great quarterbacks out.

274
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: There, Drake, you mentioned Tom and he is one of

275
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: the ones that joked about this nickname thing. I want

276
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: to play you some quick audio from head coach Mike

277
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Frable on the Greg Hill Show this morning about this

278
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: nickname thing. Go ahead, Stizz may May.

279
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: Where do you stand on that? I'm not really sure.

280
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: I just heard about it ten seconds ago. Yeah, terrible.

281
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: I think the old you know, those of us.

282
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: I couldn't even figure out six seven and now it's

283
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: Drake Drake by may May.

284
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. I like Draco. Yeah, I don't like

285
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: that either, Cordy, keep going.

286
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: So Drake, it seems like the world searching for a

287
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: nickname and they've landed on this Drake Drake May May thing.

288
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that?

289
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: Well? Probably Will is probably a part a problem for

290
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 2: that for when I came into the press conference. No,

291
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: sure I really understand it full of either but too

292
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: whatever people, that's as long a it's not something that's

293
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: insulting or have some profanity in it, it's cool with me.

294
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: Uh. My weekly question from my twelve year old son

295
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: who is one of your biggest fans in the world.

296
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: He wants to know, uh, what does the Drake may

297
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving plate look like? And what's your favorite side dish.

298
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good question. Yeah, I loved I love

299
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: some turkey, I love some honey baked ham. I'm a

300
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: big sweep sitter cast role guy. And then prior to

301
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: my mom's stuff and was was, uh some of my

302
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: favorite And then to round it off, I'm a big

00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: pumpkin pie guy.

304
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Before we get to the may or may not segment,

305
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: I had one last question. If you look at the

306
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: NFL standings, you guys are a top the AFC. The

307
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Rams are atop the NFC. That had me wondering, do

308
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: you have you seen gone back and watch highlights of

309
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: the two thousand and one Super Bowl between the Rams

310
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, the one where Mike Frabel and company

311
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: started the dynasty? Have you seen that?

312
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: I have seen highlights and you see of uh, you know,

313

319
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: It was came down to a game winning field goal

320
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: Adam Vinteri, where John Madden told them they should have

321
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: gone for overtime and not tried it. So, yeah, it

322
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: was a classic. If you ever get a chance, you

323
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: might want to watch the whole thing because it's one

324
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: of the more miraculous great ending. All right, it's now

331
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a leading the witness question because I

335
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: Earlier this morning on the Morning, Sorry Drake. Earlier this morning,

336
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: when Mike Vrabel was on left tackle, Matt Light, who

337
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: used to be the team's biggest prankster, called in to

338
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: talk to him, and it got me wondering pranks on

339
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: your teammates are just pulling pranks in general. May or

340
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: may not.

341
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it was always funny. I

342
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: think this guys acidic time and place for him. But

343
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: I always think it's always good to have a little fun,

344
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: and especially people who you know will make them. You know,

345
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: mad is always pretty pretty fun. All right.

346
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: I've been it's been brought to my attention that your

347
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: wife teaches pilates. I've always thought those machines they use

348
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: and they're a bit scary. So I'll ask you pilates,

349
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: may or may not.

350
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: I've done it one time before, but I think it's

351
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: I think it'd be good for good for for US

352
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: football players to get on some pilates and and work

353
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: on our shoot flexibility and some different unique muscles.

354
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, pliability. That was a big term around here for

355
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: a long time. Let's see. How about holiday specials now,

356
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: Obviously around the holidays, a lot of great movies and

357
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: TV specials come on holiday specials on TV. May or

358
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: may not.

359
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a big fan of Christmas movies. I

360
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: think Chrisian movies, Christmas music, you know, holidays, any great

361
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: movies of shoot. I think you know some of Christmas

362
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: Story and Home Alone. Some of those are some of

363
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: the ones that you remember and you grew up with

364
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: my brothers watching, so you've got to be a fan

365
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: of that, I think.

366
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: All right. Uh, your head coach seemed a little annoyed

367
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: last night, chastising the media for talking about injuries last week.

368
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: I've been yelled at for saying things that were too

369
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: positive about this team. So I'm wondering superstitions may or

370
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: may not?

371
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit. I mean, nothing doesn't crazy, but

372
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: I like too it's something worse. You know, if it

373
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: ain't broke, don't fix it. So just try to keep

374
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: doing some of the same things and hopefully get good results.

375
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

376
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: As we currently broadcast, there's a Star Wars movie on

377
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: the TV in our studio, and that's got me wondering

378
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: Star Wars may or may not.

379
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: I respect Star Wars. I'm not the biggest fan, but

380
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: I respect, you know, the franchise and all the movies.

381
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: But no, I haven't got into really any of the

382
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: Star Wars movies, but I'll definitely you respect the greatness

383
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: of it.

384
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: All right, Drake, Time now for the quarterback question of

385
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: the week. The quarterback question of the week is brought

386
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: to you by Northeast Men's Health, the experts in treating

387
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: men's sexual health with six New England offices, or at

388
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Northeastmn'shealth dot com. This one comes from Bill and Williamstown.

389
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: But we got a lot of questions on this same topic.

390
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you heard, but all the listeners

391
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: did that. Steven A. Smith called you a liar on

392
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: ESPN kind of went after us as a show, called

393
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: me a weak ass reporter, wondering what your reaction was

394
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: to that kerfuffle last week atdie SPN.

395
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like I said, I'm just worried about

396
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: what people you know in our building organization and you know,

397
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: people that I hold, Uh you know a lot of

398
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: you know, personal relationships with on their opinions and and

399
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: uh and value that. So all that outside stuff, it

400
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: is what it is, and UH just gotta be uh,

401
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: like I said, careful what I what I say, and

402
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: tried didn't try to mean and disrespectfully.

403
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: Uh, Drake, I forgot to ask. Since you're the youngest

404
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,800
