 Yeah, definitely just being out in the field, you know every player out there on the field builds confidence You know, you're like all right. I am an NFL player You know, I'm meant to be out here and I feel like every rep I had on special teams You know help it out with that, you know last year going into this year with so many guys being out Do you feel like there's more responsibility on your shoulders now when you're in the huddle or going out for a pass? I wouldn't say more responsibility, but I just know more is expected of me I guess I wouldn't say I'm like carrying a load or anything like that But I know that you know, my number is gonna be called I'm gonna do my best to answer it when it is called And how much do you embrace the potential for maybe being asked to do more and feel like you're in position to do it better than you ever have been? Yeah, I mean I'm loving this opportunity that I'm gonna have this week and you know I mean that's what you play for, you know whenever you're playing football You're in there to play play the game as many plays you can and be you know A part of the impact to help the team win and you know, hopefully I can have a big impact on this week I'm making catch a crawl catches across the middle. Not everybody is up for that How did you kind of develop the mindset? Of not worrying about taking a big hit Yeah, I'm gonna feel like that's something I've heard since like Pop Warner, you know It doesn't matter if you are hit still gonna hurt if you don't catch the ball So you might as well catch the ball so it doesn't hurt as bad Did you ever get rocked on any of those before? This past week. No, not just throughout the course of your career. Oh, yeah, definitely have Definitely, there's some that I can remember that you know hurt But the ones those are the ones that I remember I also caught the ball I'm like it didn't hurt as bad as if I hadn't caught it Can you relate Nick to I think you sort of references earlier But a guy like this who hasn't had a lot of reps with Ryan, you know jumping in there and playing 60 snaps, you know last game in the difficulty of kind of having that connection Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's some difficulty there, but I feel like it's it's a great learning opportunity for him I was just talking to Chester about that. I mean, you can't really Create that kind of situation, you know to be in a game and play play so many meaningful snaps to have a chance to go win the game So it's kind of like baptism by fire and I feel like he's gonna grow a lot going into this week I can't wait to see how he responds with with Des, you know Through the course of the season. How have you just maybe seen him grow? You know fourth rounder was then wasn't on the initial 53 had to start out on the practice squad How have you maybe seen him come along behind the scenes to maybe be ready for this moment? Yeah, I mean, I've seen him grow every week, you know on practice squad is making plays against our defense and You know, you see that confidence building in him I feel like week-to-week and you know the coaches also I feel like it's all the same thing And that's why he ended up, you know getting activated and getting elevated and you know I'm just excited to see that same confidence show, you know in a game-time situation after the game on Sunday Ryan was sort of taking himself We're saying I gotta be better But it's a receiving core there times where you kick yourself and you say, you know, man If I had just been in this spot or been able to make the play he may have even looked better than he did Oh, yeah, definitely. I'd feel that completely. You know, I mean when he was saying that it was all on him I'm like, nah, it's it's on everybody. It's on it's on me. Just as much as it is on on him You know, there's plays where there's a play that last pick where I'm like, maybe if I had held the eyes of the deep The corner a little bit longer on my route, you know, he wouldn't be able to fall off and get the interception So there's so many different things that happen every play And there's so many plays in a game that it's never just on one person Patriots defense has had a lot of takeaways this year from what you've seen on film What makes them so efficient of that? Yeah, I mean they have a lot of multiple different looks. I feel like they can confuse offenses pretty well But they just play a real sound defense You know, everybody knows their role and then plays to that that role really well So I feel like the key is just, you know, staying within ourselves and not worrying about them
