00:06guest line for the quarterback of your new england patriots drake may drake bay on a patriots monday
00:11is brought to you by northeast men's health the experts in treating men's sexual health with six
00:16new england offices or at northeastmenshealth.com by windward mental health start your healing
00:22journey now at windwardmentalhealth.com and by john sewer and drain cleaning the name to know
00:27when your drains don't flow drake how we doing this week what's going on how you doing uh great
00:33we uh we enjoyed a playoff victory we haven't had one of those uh for a while around here so i'll
00:39start there uh you played in your first playoff game you won your first playoff game what was that
00:44experience like was it different than a regular season game what was your reaction to postseason
00:48action i thought it was awesome i thought the crowd was great um i think the guys were you know
00:54excited and amped up and i think you know the best thing that was we got came out there to win and
00:58i got a chance to move on and um you have to go every week when you get to these playoffs
01:02find a way to win and we did that how was the ping pong with your brothers after the game last night
01:08yeah no don't see ever um you know look funny me and me and my old brother luke would go at it so
01:14um i got the best of luke last night and then uh no it's fun having him down uh so the chargers um
01:22they you know i know you guys played a very very physical brand of football last night yourselves
01:26chargers seemed up to the task at least uh physically would you say that they were
01:31perhaps uh the most difficult defense that you had faced this season
01:34um let's not have to say that i know they're really good defense i know they were uh no physical
01:41um they're good in the back end uh they played a lot of zone defense and they're good at that and
01:45then they brought some pressure up front and the guys up front were you know really good so
01:48um they played a good task you know tough task and uh we made enough plays and our really our
01:53defense and it still seems um you know played great um and gave us a chance to win the game
01:58you said in your post-game press conference something to the effect that you didn't throw it
02:02uh all that well early um do you know why that was and when that's happening do you know it can you
02:08feel like oh my throws are a little bit off accuracy touch like what's that like when you feel that
02:13i wouldn't say that i feel like i'm um um it's just actually just trying to be accurate and
02:19um at the end of the day i think just finding ways to you know get in the groove and and uh find a way
02:24to you know get the guys going and pick up the first first down which i feel like we did but we
02:28ended up stalling you know later in uh in the drive so i think you know in the red zone we got
02:32four touchdowns here in the playoffs and then from there just uh you know find ways to i said come
02:37out with seven instead of three and and i had to do a better job of uh you know not turn the ball over
02:42so when it comes to something like turning the ball over whether it's a deflected pass
02:47in your own red area or uh strip sack whatever what are the keys to having a short memory and
02:54being able to bounce back after a play that doesn't go your way on the next drive or later on in the
03:00game yes in the mindset all year um just you know just bounce back and find a way to you move on to
03:06next play i think the best thing that you can think about is there's nothing you can do about it
03:09in the past now and one way to make it better is make plays that uh help the team um come out to
03:15win the future how great is that feeling when you're on the sideline you put the defense in a
03:19little bit of a bad position but then you see marcus jones with a huge tackle of herbert and then
03:23they decide to go for it and it ends up not turning into points you know that's going to be a big lift
03:28for you when the defense does that for you man it's awesome um it's a obviously a tough feeling when
03:34you put the defense in that situation but it it fires you up on the defense and and that's what
03:39you you try to play company football and the defense was doing that all night and we got to do a better
03:43job but uh we're just proud of how they played and it was awesome to watch during the week of
03:48preparation leading up to the game did you think there were going to be opportunities like you had
03:52last night to scramble and gain some positive yards let alone be able to rip off your longest run
03:59of the season i think there's a point we all thought oh my god is he going to take this 60 yards to the
04:03house oh man no i think um it's really hard to predict you know any week you know whether those
04:09opportunities come and things you kind of feel back there in the pocket and on some of the runs i think
04:14i had some guys downfield and just felt like you know the best thing to do is go down um get some
04:18yards and try to get down so it's kind of hard to predict you know kind of type of you know scrambling
04:22and opportunities to find some rush lane so just try to feel like i can i'm gonna try to get on the
04:28move when i need to where do you feel like you are as a runner because it feels like there's so much
04:33going on obviously there's 21 other bodies moving all around the field and to slide to dive head
04:38first is that something that the experience you gain on a weekly basis do you feel like that's
04:43valuable each and every game moving forward i think the the best way to put it you know when
04:50there's a safe area to try to pick up the most yards i think the best way to do is head first
04:54because you're still protected and you pick up the most yards i think sliding your feet first is kind
04:59of a last you know kind of minute deal when more guys are around just because um you know they spot
05:04the ball you know where you start the slide and things like that so head first is the best way
05:08to kind of get the most yards and dive forward and then kind of the last urge is you know feet first
05:13to try to get down fast that's how i'm kind of approaching it some big runs last night obviously
05:18you've had some rushing touchdowns in the nfl as well but i gotta ask uh what was that what was the
05:25moment like when you you ran the play the with the double reverse option pass to where chisholm looks
05:32for you down the sideline guess you guys practiced it during the week when the ball was headed towards
05:37you like just what how anxious was that moment it's a shame it didn't connect but for a second
05:41there did you think oh i might i might actually catch a touchdown tonight oh i mean i thought i had a
05:48good chance when i came around the edge nobody kind of saw me i was trying to be kind of um you know
05:53in car mito and then um you know credit cheers for getting around there and it's a it's a tougher
05:58tougher throw than you think when you're coming around there with guys coming at you so um that
06:03was a good call and um you know hey we didn't you know hit it and get a chance to get you know a
06:08catch but uh at the same time i i tried to settle up and try to get an easier throw and i probably should
06:13stay in the move for him along those lines do you like the expansion of the offense um we've seen
06:19wildcat throwbacks double passes last night we saw a little option play where you kind of fake
06:24the pitch and tucked up field do you like as they continue to kind of put more into the game plan
06:30and expand what you guys have in the bag yeah i think it just keeps defense on their toes i think
06:36it's got to be um it's one of those things where the offense dictates and the defense reacts that's
06:41the best thing about playing offensive football is you know we dictate you know what personnel we're in
06:45um and then we just kind of the defense reacts to where the ball is you know what type of play it is
06:50and uh just having you know giving the defense more things to think about and having more guys
06:54to think about is the best way to keep the uh keep us you know staying in you know positive you know
06:59football and and uh to keep the chains moving i think a lot of people would put that touchdown pass
07:05to hunter henry last night drake up there with some of your best passes in a pro uniform if not at
07:10least for this season as well um it was a tough throw to make because you're you're kind of like
07:16you know booting to the left and you've got to come around square your body and then throw it kind
07:20of in between three guys any any moment where you thought about maybe not throwing it considering the
07:25coverage they had and that derwin william derwin james excuse me maybe missed it by like an inch as
07:31you dropped it in over him for six yeah i thought we had enough room to try to give you a chance to
07:36make a play and he did exactly that he made a great play and just glad i can come back and
07:40make a throw after i missed um you know missed hoop on one that was wide open in the end zone so
07:45you know good to have one back and um i think you know just gotta you'll hit the ones when they count
07:50you'll hit it when they count and um i think i gotta do a better job of doing that but you'll hit that
07:54one there they uh obviously have a great defensive front great defense one of the best you faced all
07:59year um they got you a couple times on strip sacks did you feel like you held the ball too long do you
08:05need to get rid of it sooner sometimes and maybe just take the sack what's what's the mentality
08:10there yeah i think there's definitely uh you know points where i feel like i gotta you get the ball
08:16out you know especially in scenarios we got you know guys that are you're running routes and looking
08:20for the ball early i gotta do my part of you know getting the ball out in quick game and not hold
08:24on to the ball and putting those guys up front and a bad um a bad deal when they think the ball's
08:29coming out quick and it doesn't so gotta do my part a lot of different things can be a key to
08:34postseason success obviously drake scoring lots of points uh or great defense which you guys had
08:40last night as well and a balanced attack how important how how how gratifying has it been to
08:47have remandre in this late season resurgence that he's had for the offense because not only was he
08:53awesome on the ground but um i just thought some of those checkdowns you took when the the defensive
08:58backfield was a little muddy and you hit him and he took care of a lot of the yards like
09:02those are great so just how how great has it been to have him back like that yeah he's been great
09:08all season long he catches football really well he gets up field when he catches it and um he's
09:13great in third down with pass protecting and making the first guy miss as we saw multiple times last
09:18night so i keep on finding ways to get the backs the ball because um they're great when when they're
09:22underneath and they catch it and get up field so you guys have advanced you'll play next sunday but
09:27you don't know who and the opponents will be on national tv tonight most football fans will be
09:32watching it will you watch the game tonight between the texans and the steelers will you be
09:36rooting how do you watch as a fan what will that be like tonight yeah i mean it'd be hard not to watch
09:42a game where we play the winner of so um just to you know follow the game and uh i know it's probably
09:47pretty late but we got off tomorrow so um follow the game and uh see who we play next year at home
09:52yeah i was gonna say that one's up uh that one's gonna end probably well after the bedtime you've
09:57told us that you hit up early uh but over the weekend did you get a chance to watch any other
10:02football and do you take a special interest in watching guys like caleb williams we'll say
10:07obviously you guys come out in the same class him first you third uh get a chance to see that great
10:12throw he made in the fourth quarter against the packers uh with their season on the line
10:16i always enjoy watching you know playoff football games in the nfl i have since i was growing up so
10:23watching you know games and playoff games and there's been some great games this year and just
10:28to see situation football um see quarterbacks at the end of games making winning plays and
10:32um obviously caleb a great throw on that fourth down uh so cool to watch for him and it's been
10:37fun watching you know him and these quarterbacks all season long when you've talked to us you've
10:41you mentioned the referees your dark side might come out you even talked about receivers i think
10:46maybe you'll give them a harder time when you're a little older well steph diggs said he wants you to
10:50be meaner he wants you to be meaner as a leader as the quarterback of the team are you are you
10:54taking credence in that are you you feel like you need to be meaner to your wide receivers
10:58um i think it's all just baseball feel i think it's baseball feel and you know when time is right
11:05and and when there's a time for it i think you um you can showcase that so just a feel of when guys
11:10may need to pick it up or you know when i need to pick it up for myself so just having a feel for
11:13it and just doing what i need to do to to get the guys going and i feel like they were
11:17you're in a good mindset and uh headspace last night and in your first playoff game correct me
11:22if i'm wrong but i think you were introduced last as the offense came was introduced pre-game i think
11:28you talked about that a little bit in your post game last night just looking back on that a day
11:32removed and obviously with a win in hand how did that feel it was pretty cool it was definitely pretty
11:38cool to you know hear the crowd and get the lights you know let the lights you know turned off and
11:44and got the crowd you know enjoyed ready for the game i think it's a it's a cool feeling you know
11:49something i've never experienced and um it gets your get your hands definitely excited and wanting
11:53to play good for the for the home team and for your teammates and for this organization so it was
11:58pretty special and like i said i don't know i don't do very much you know you know to get the crowd
12:02pumped up so they had me last so hopefully me just jogging out there is enough but they probably
12:06need to put steph or or will to get some of the crowd into it so it's pretty funny did you think
12:11about doing something i mean obviously the the classic one is the ray lewis down in baltimore
12:15but did you think about maybe hamming it up to the crowd at all or is that just not your style
12:19uh maybe uh a time for at some point i'm not gonna we'll say never so i think there's a time and
12:27place for it and and we'll see all right the time and place right now is for may or may not
12:31may or may not it's time for a weekly peek
12:36inside the likes loves mind and style
12:42of new england's quarterback may or may not may not on weei afternoons
12:50so drake you're clearly settling in as a bostonian a new englander and you've noted some of the
12:57differences between the south and the north so the first question i have for you about our drivers
13:02around here we have reputations road rage may or may not road rage i'm a road rager i think you know
13:11to be on the road and be driving you got to be cognizant of the the drivers around you and and
13:16be willing to uh you'll get a different lane if you're going slow or let somebody over if they're
13:22getting over so i think having a a good mind a good uh yeah having a good feel for for driving
13:29the car and i think that's a uh you haven't been i haven't had too many problems up here in
13:33massachusetts yeah we're going on several hundred years of still trying to figure out how to drive
13:37up this way so apologies on behalf of everyone uh so i saw that your wife had another viral moment
13:42uh she did a pizza review with dave portnoy from barstool sports uh may or may not reviewing food on
13:49camera viewing food on camera i'm gonna leave that for my wife i think i'll probably um you don't
13:57want to get put in a spot where you feel like you kind of got it rated high just as you kind of feel
14:02bad for the place if you don't like you kind of just have to lie so if i'm gonna be honest if i'm
14:06on camera so i'd probably rather choose to be off camera all right so you guys are playing football
14:10in the northeast in january you got another home game coming up it was pretty nice last night
14:15honestly a little chilly but not much else but that had me wondering football in the snow that
14:19classic snowball game played 25 years ago in new england may or may not i think that's sweet i think
14:26it's sweet as it says not too bad you know when you when you're throwing in the snow um rain's probably
14:31worse so i think it'd be cool to be out there in the snow and i think the offense is at the advantage
14:35so you know you know never mind that uh i i always enjoy the post-game videos of her reacting to
14:43the patriots usually in victory i'm not sure if you've had a chance to spend much time around
14:48cardi b but uh having fun around hip-hop royalty uh may or may not oh for sure if it's one of my
14:57teammates um and they um you'll have them around and and obviously having you know close in their
15:02lives i'm always a fan of you know being around somebody that i that's like i got to know and and
15:07can support and share good times with so your wife let it slip in the uh the portnoy video that your
15:13gift to the offensive lineman were saunas so for you sauna time in the sauna may or may not
15:19oh for sure yeah i love getting the sauna getting the sweat in and um you know after the game and
15:25enjoy you know getting a little sweat and trying to you'll keep uh keep my weight under the the weight
15:31limit for uh for frank in the weight room uh they're the absolute best and on the subject earlier
15:37of the the food reviews um i'm sure you're a big pizza fan as well a lot of good pizza up this way
15:42um but veggies on pizza may or may not
15:45may not i'm not a huge veggie guy on pizza um i will say pineapple on pizza i'll go pineapple on pizza
15:53okay what is uh what is your favorite pizza of all because your wife was obviously looking for a go-to
15:59pizza place what's your favorite type of pizza to get when you find that good pizza i'm just a classic
16:04pepperoni guy it's uh you know i find a good classic pepperoni spot that's where that's where
16:09you'll find me all right time now for the quarterback question of the week the quarterback question of
16:13the week is brought to you by northeast men's health the experts in treating men's sexual health
16:17with six new england offices or at northeastmenshealth.com the question comes from paul in providence and he
16:24writes people say the nfl is wide open this year and any team in the field could go to the super bowl
16:29so deep down in places maybe you don't talk about at parties have you let your mind kind of wander have
16:35you thought about playing in the super bowl nothing that's what you dream about um that's what you
16:41you kind of get in the in the off season in the otas and you that's kind of the time where you think
16:46about you know man what would it be like to get to that game and uh you hear other teammates and
16:51coaches just tell stories about it but really in the time of it you're just trying to go one week
16:55out of time and try not to think about you know the end goal and and try to just do whatever you
16:59can to survive another week and get to the next game all right drake uh appreciate you joining us
