On if he kept the football after the game and what it meant to him:<\/b><\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t keep it. \u00a0It was a good win.<\/span><\/p>\n On what they did defensively that gave them some challenges and how did they overcome them:<\/b><\/p>\n They played pretty good. \u00a0Thought they did a good job in the run game. \u00a0Thought they competed pretty hard. \u00a0I thought our execution was off at times. \u00a0So it was a good win, glad we won. \u00a0It\u2019s always good to win on the road. \u00a0We\u2019ve got a quick turnaround this week, a division game, so it\u2019ll be fun.<\/span><\/p>\n On if it was nice to get Gronk going in the second half and why it was so difficult in the first half:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, you know…it\u2019s just, they have a good defense and they played well. \u00a0I think they definitely did some things that challenged us. We\u2019re going to have to adjust to some things going forward but, you know, he’s a big part of our offense and obviously getting him going, he got in the end zone, which was good to see, it’s been a few weeks for him. \u00a0So, you know, we\u2019d like to get him in there more often and I thought we all could have done a better job tonight. \u00a0Not very good on 3rd down and I thought we left lot of yards and certainly some point out there.<\/span><\/p>\n On the scramble play, what he saw out there:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, it was a great play. \u00a0That ball\u2019s not really designed to go to him. But he just kind of looked at me, saw me scramble, and I got it to him and he kind of barrelled into the end zone. \u00a0So it was a really good play by him. \u00a0It was a good scramble play. \u00a0I thought we all, kind of hung in there at different times and made some plays when kind of the initial part of the play wasn’t there and then adjusted a little bit and found a little room to get the ball into some spots. \u00a0So it wasn\u2019t too bad. \u00a0Some of those plays, I wish we could have done a better job than some others.<\/span><\/p>\n On why they didn\u2019t run as much against them as they had in the past:<\/b><\/p>\n I’m not sure, I’ll have to review it but we just I thought we could have executed a lot better in a lot of phases, run, pass, you know, everything, so that\u2019s what we\u2019ll try to do.<\/span><\/p>\n On the play where he saw Gronkowski uncovered if that\u2019s a play where he sees him at the line of scrimmage and thinks he might have a shot:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, we talked about that and you know, that was a good opportunity and it was a play-action fake and the linebacker bit up pretty good. \u00a0So Gronk was cleaned in the secondary and he\u2019s pretty dangerous because when he gets going in space, he\u2019s hard to tackle and, you know, made a good play off the free safety there and rumbled into the endzone. \u00a0So that was a big play in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n On the fact he saw Brady take two footballs, one after LeGarrette Blount\u2019s touchdown, and one he put in his helmet for a keepsake. \u00a0Why two footballs?<\/b><\/p>\n I didn\u2019t keep them.<\/span><\/p>\n Are they going to somebody else?<\/b><\/p>\n I don\u2019t know.<\/span><\/p>\n On the changes they made on the offensive line after Marcus Cannon went down:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, that was tough. \u00a0That was a big challenge. \u00a0That\u2019s part of the NFL. <\/span>\u00a0<\/b>I think you know we had a great situation with three tackles and then Nate went down and then we brought Cam up and then, you know, whatever, one series into the game, Cam\u2019s in there. So he did a good job, competed really hard. \u00a0He was on the team last year and did a good job for us so we wanted to count on him but you know adjusting with Seabass going to the left, that was just a few moving parts there. \u00a0\u00a0But, you know, we\u2019ll need time to settle in and see if we can settle those positions down and all make improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On if he kept the football after the game and what it meant to him: I didn\u2019t keep it. \u00a0It was a good win.
