00:00drake how's it going man thanks for coming on with us buddy hey guys hey all right well obviously a
00:05uh
00:06not what you wanted yesterday and i'm sure that the patriots are it wasn't probably an easy day
00:11of practice today um let's just start with this you know you said afterwards that you guys haven't
00:16played a clean turnover free game yet is there a common thread that you see on film or does every
00:22week feel like it's a different problem well i think the biggest issues are um you know throwing
00:29me throwing guys open make sure i'm sitting in front of them uh making good decisions with
00:33the football and when we do have the football on our hands uh make sure we just got good ball
00:36security i think that's the biggest thing uh just coming now the league of uh zone defense with
00:41odds and the quarterback and when you do have the ball in your hands guys are stripping and
00:44punching the ball more than it more than ever so i guess the two biggest things i know drake you
00:49talked about battling and uh getting on the road this week uh how do you think the guys are handling
00:54that and getting started here on a monday yeah i think one of the biggest things for international
01:00game is try to make the schedule uh you're not making an issue i think um your coach rabel and
01:05our mindset of um you'll get some days in here before we go you know you know over there to
01:09munich
01:10uh to get some practice days and uh get things going is is good so try to make the schedule
01:15a
01:15non-issue and get back to um get back to work i know it's you know we both have to
01:19travel a long
01:20ways uh so get our bodies going get ready for the opponent mentally and uh get back after it
01:27hey hey drake just curious you know how do you reset you know how do you kind of uh get
01:31that
01:31you know bad taste out of your mouth is there any somebody you consult with after games like this is
01:36just how do you from a mindset standpoint how do you uh just put that game behind you and uh
01:42and move
01:42forward yeah i think it's you know every game has its own um you know plays and a set of
01:48plays that
01:49you want to have back and it's just you know part of this position of owning them um you know
01:53just
01:53looking at the film and clearing up about you know what i could have done better um how i can
01:57learn
01:58from it and just keep on uh trying to you know have an aggressive mentality but also um to be
02:04mindful
02:04of of of not being reckless and coach rabel's you know always says that so that's the mindset and
02:10just get together with the teammates coaches and guys in the facility that uh realize we got a band
02:15together and uh realize that we still have a lot of people ahead of us we're talking to drake may
02:20and uh drake uh or drake packers safety xavier mckinney he was said afterwards that he read your
02:26eyes and broke when you hitched on that throw to raritan when you watched it back could you have
02:32moved him with your eyes or had that window already closed i don't think it would have been tough to
02:37move him i think they could have fired in there probably more or uh maybe thrown it um some other
02:42places you know on that play that would have been you know better results so um he made a nice
02:46play
02:46you know i think i i saw you like coming open and and try to you know throw it out
02:51in front and
02:51realize i probably should have thrown earlier a little harder can i just ask a basic question
02:55like when you're at the nfl level how tough is it to you know be knowing you're going to one
03:00receiver
03:01but also realizing that you have to look in a completely different direction just to throw those
03:05guys off well yeah that's that's that's what our job entails that's what we have um you know so many
03:12you know practice reps you know reps and you know throughout a lifetime of growing up you'll seeing
03:17defenders seeing routes seeing concepts uh no one you're trying to you know what you know just
03:22coverage they're in and just try to find the trying the voids and that's uh i wouldn't say it's
03:27you know something that you know it's is easy but at the same time it's it's it's what we do
03:32it's what
03:32we have to do and do it at a high level and when you don't you obviously see the uh
03:35see the
03:36consequences consequences and you saw that yesterday obviously drake you guys don't make excuses but you
03:41have a ton of injuries here aj and dobbs and travion and then whenu and vera tucker and now ben
03:46brown
03:46how do you guys deal with that and is it uh you know is it hard to not let it
03:51be an excuse
03:53it was part of the nfl i think everybody you know deals with your injuries and and uh the amount
03:58is
03:58is you know based off the team and and you know whether um you know whether it's offense defense
04:03i think it just tries to be the next man up mentality and it really takes everybody to
04:07prepare like a starter you know i think that that's a belief right now in this year um it's
04:11preparing like a starter and uh you never know when your number is going to get called and it just
04:15takes communication i think owning that me owning the communication part of it and getting guys on
04:19the same page and clearing up um the gray and just uh trying to keep us moving uh moving forward
04:26you know drake uh god bless those guys and you know blocking for you the old line they were kind
04:31of leaky yesterday um 51 of you uh the dropbacks you were pressured on what do you what do you
04:38say
04:38to those big guys in front and just do what's your message to the old line when it's obviously
04:42struggling with injuries and just trying to uh keep you upright what's your message to those guys
04:47and they keep to keep battling those guys are doing a lot of good things um i think it starts
04:51with us
04:52you know you know with the run game i think get the run game going that makes it you know
04:56easier
04:56for everybody and uh they want to run the football and every old lineman does um so those guys keep
05:00battling um they're doing some great jobs and clean we'll clean some things up you know
05:03communication wise to get on the same page i could do a better job of owning it and operating
05:07and uh you know for them to you know step up in there um you know they're all battling injuries
05:12and playing um some some tough football and uh no just respect to them and know that um i appreciate
05:19them so drake uh tom brady here in town this weekend did you get to spend any time with him
05:25and if so what did you guys talk about what was that like uh we have a typical production meeting
05:30um on friday that you have with the um the people doing the game and then i saw him briefly
05:34you know
05:35before the game uh when he was out there uh but just said with said hello and um nothing nothing
05:41too
05:41much did you get starstruck at all by tom brady uh over the kind of the past couple times i've
05:48saw him no i wouldn't i mean obviously the respect and uh like i said i always say appreciation for
05:54what he did for the game uh but just kind of as you get to know somebody and have been
05:58around him
05:58and talk to him um i wouldn't say starstruck but uh definitely um it's always cool you'll see him
06:03and picking his brain what about rob gronkowski did you get to spend time with him him and julian

09:45kind of
09:46you know he's got that crazy mentality and um he's uh he's got that mindset i'd say the heavyweight
09:52division oh that's a good question too heavyweight we got some guys i think you know barmore um i
09:58think barmore is boxing his thing though he's from philly um so i'm gonna say i'm gonna go with
10:03milton williams it's hard not to go milton for for the heavyweight class oh yeah i mean barmore
10:07and milton that's just like clash the titans those two together that would be that would that would
10:11shake the ground i believe if that ended up happening all right i have one last question for
10:16you because we talked about this on the other day and this is just just for me do you like
10:20the
10:21touchdown song at gillette stadium and and if and if not if you could pick a touchdown song what would
10:26it be oh i'm not even sure uh i zone out on the touchdowns i'm not sure what what do
10:34they play
10:34okay it is a bon jovi song from like 93 or something like that it's not even living on a
10:42prayer it's a song i believe belichick picked when he was here it's called this is our house is that
10:47right yeah yeah so so you don't even know what the touchdown song is drake
10:53oh if it's bon jovi i'm a fan of bon jovi i'm a big fan if i have to uh
