 I just went back in and watched the tape, saw some of my teammates who were in today and saw the coaches, got to talk to them about the game. So those are some things that help clear my mind a little bit is just talking about it and what happened and some of the things we can get better at. So those are the types of things that we talk about, you know, the day after. And again, we try our best just to learn from the mistakes that we made and do our best to make them not happen again. Was it more mental or physical last night? Mental. Mental is mostly mental and that's the tough part about it. For me, I pride myself on not making a ton of physical mistakes. There were physical mistakes as well on one of the interceptions on the line of the end zone. I just, I wasn't using my feet at all. My base wasn't set and I just kind of put it out there to BT hoping something magical would happen and rather than trusting my fundamentals and set my feet to them. But again, it was mostly mental. It was stuff we practiced throughout the week and like I said that we did well on the Dallas game taking practice to Sunday. We didn't take practice to Monday and I didn't do it. My whole offense as far as I know didn't do it. You know, that's something that, again, like I said, we pride ourselves on not making mental mistakes and we did a lot of that last night. It seems like you obviously did not have a lot of time last night and it also seemed like you were more apt to get the ball out of your hands than take a sack. Any part of you right now coming off the whole spleen and motto thing averse to taking a big hit? No, no, no, that wasn't, that wasn't, that didn't cross my mind at all. And I think more so there were just bad decisions. Sam, were you, for lack of a better word, are you embarrassed that the I'm seeing ghosting made the air? I know that your coach is kind of angry at the NFL and the people that let that get through. But since it did get through, are you embarrassed that that was a national thing? I'm not embarrassed by it. It would have been, you know, nice if it hadn't made the air. But with that being said, it's just, it's something that happened. And now I got the dressing. It's kind of one of those things that it is what it is. What does it mean? For me, yeah, it's, it really meant that I just wasn't seeing things as clearly as I would have liked to. And that's really, that's really as simply as I can put it. Is it, is it? Because obviously you've gotten a firsthand lesson now and you've already gotten it from the mono thing of what the back pages of the tabloids are like in New York and how big a deal it was right away. That phrase, I'm seeing ghosts out there. Everyone's making a huge deal about it. Is it terminology you've used or heard before and is just sort of a way of describing a chaotic scene defensively? Absolutely. Yeah, it's, it's something that, you know, when a quarterback isn't really seeing things great, that's a term that gets thrown around quite a bit. And obviously it's, you know, hopefully not thrown around as much as you would like. But it was definitely, you know, a part in the game at a very, you know, just a slim portion of the game for maybe a series or two. It was the case and they obviously caught me saying it on air and they played it for everyone. And I'm not embarrassed by it. I mean, it is what it is. So, you know, worse things have happened to me. But at the same time, it's just, yeah, it's just a bummer that it was live and all that. But I think it's a lot more common. It's a lot more common of a phrase than what the team made out to do. Well, you're being nice because if it was live, you can explain it in a way that it was live, but it was actually taped and then they decided to play it. So you got burned on this, Sam. In the future, were you just being mic'd up? No. No, I think for me, I'm always... And I think I've just always been kind of a guy that, you know, I hope things close to my chest. I don't hold a grudge or anything like that. I mean, is it embarrassing? Not really. I mean, for me, it's more of, you know, what do my friends and family think about it? You know, it's not... I'm not going to listen to my comments or anything like that on social media or listening to many of the news reports. You know, I'm not that kind of guy. So for me, it's just about going back in there tomorrow, stepping back in the huddle and taking the same corridor back. Do you believe the coaches put you in the best preparation to win that game last night? Yeah, you know, I think that, you know, the game plan, we're set to win. And, you know, it's a bummer, too, because we just didn't execute. I could have executed the plays a lot better, and you know, as an offense, we could have done a lot better. And we will do better in the future, that's for sure. And there's a lot, you know, there's a lot of bad stuff that we put on tape last night. But at the same time, you know, we just got to take it in and learn from it. That's all we can do. Did you guys have a bad game last night? Or are the Patriots just so much better than everybody else? Because, I mean, you guys beat the Cowboys and the Cowboys destroyed the Eagles, and then, I mean, it was 33 to nothing. So what is it? Did you guys have a bad game or the Patriots just this darn good? Well, we had a bad game, that's for sure. It was probably one of, it's not the worst games of our season so far. But, you know, I definitely, you know, want to give credit where credit is due. I mean, the Patriots are a really good team. It's a really, really good defense coached by one of the best coaches in the NFL's history. So you got to give credit where credit is due, but we definitely didn't play our best out there. Now, you just mentioned you try not to pay attention to the media or, you know, social media or anything. But do you believe that yourself or some of your teammates maybe got a little too positive over the Cowboy victory? Maybe believed in yourselves a little bit too much coming off that victory? No, I think, you know, for us, we got to enjoy the wins when they come. And hopefully that'll just kind of steer us in the right direction. I think there's definitely, you know, we have to stay level. You know, we got to stay level whether it's a win or a loss. We got to come in here and work the same way we would every single day. And that's the crazy thing about the NFL is, you know, you win. You win in a really good fashion one week. And then the other week you get blown out and embarrassed on on my night football. So that's that's how the NFL is. And so for us, we just got to come into work every single week as if it's a new week. I talked with Sam Donald here on the Michael K show earlier today, Sam, Lewis Riddick of ESPN tweeted out about zero blitzing. I'm not going to get into the whole tweet. He finishes up. This stuff isn't new. It's just a matter of whether or not you have a plan for it and a quarterback that is equipped to execute against it. Okay, that's somewhat benign. And then Jamal Adams, your teammate liked it, which it means he's either liking that you don't have a plan for it or that you can't handle it. What are your thoughts on a teammate of yours liking a tweet like that? I mean, yeah, this is the first time I'm hearing about it. Yeah, I think it's true. You know, it's something that, you know, we definitely had a plan for it. Obviously just didn't execute it. And it's I put that on myself. And obviously we just got to just get a few better. That's really it. I'm not going to get into the whole, you know, Jamal liking Lewis Riddick's tweet. I don't know. I don't know how far that goes or, you know, what all goes into that. But I think it's, I think it's true though. I think it's, you know, that the Patriots are going to bring zero bullets and you got to have a plan for it. And we did. I just didn't execute it. Do you have any problems with Jamal? You guys get along? Me and Jamal go along great. Yeah, I have a problem. You know, one final thing, Sam, and you're being so gracious answering these questions, which are not easy to ask. But after a game like last night, do you ever start to doubt yourself? Maybe I'm not just ready at this point to be a really good quarterback in this league. Does that go into your brain at all? No, not at all. You know, that game is just a, it's a learning lesson. It's a lesson to be learned. That's how I look at it. I played, I played terrible. You know, I'm not going to sure cut it. And everyone saw it. Everyone saw what happened. As an offense, we got to get better and we'll continue to get better every single week. Again, credit, you know, got a good credit request too. Patriots are a really good defense, really good team, but we got to play a lot better. And, you know, it's as simple as that. At the end of the first half is 24-nothing. And again, mic'd up, they showed you talking to Coach Gase, who said, hey, it's 24-nothing. Let's take our time here. We get the ball back to start the second half. And I believed in that moment. I said, get a score right here. Score again at the beginning of the third quarter. Make this thing 24-14. At that point, did you believe that you guys could still claw your way back in? And at what point did you, did the wheels fall off and you started to lose hope of it? No, I absolutely believed that we could claw our way back. It's not the situation that we wanted to be in, but, you know, with kicking the opening, kicking the opening kickoff and knowing that we would get the ball back at half, we knew that if we just went down there and scored in the two-minute drive, and then our defense helped us stop, and there was hopefully not enough time for the Patriots to go down there and score a kick or field goal. Obviously, we'd be down 24-7. Go back out there and score a quick touchdown. 24-14. Anything's possible at that point down 10. So, yeah, you can make quick turnarounds in this league, especially with the half-time swing, and that was definitely possible for us to do. And, you know, in this league, and when you're down that big in the first half, you always got to keep plugging, keep going, and we were trying to do that. And just, again, like I said, like I've been saying, we just didn't execute. Last night was your 16th National Football League game. That's one full regular season. How would you evaluate how your first 16 games have gone? You know, I've had some good games, but just haven't won enough. And, you know, we just got to continue to execute better. I mean, it's the same story, guys. We just got to execute better on offense, and it really comes down to, you know, preparing throughout the week and making sure that everyone's on the same page. And I think if we just do that, we'll be all right. You're a good guy, Sam. Thank you for answering the questions, and good luck this weekend. All right. Thanks, guys.
