Quick turnaround. Absolutely. But looking at yesterday, I wanted to start with how you're feeling, because I don't need to tell you that Vita Vaya is a big dude, and he obviously got a, at least one good lick on you after one of your throws.

Just how are the hits going? How are you feeling? Yeah, I feel good. I feel good. I feel good. You know, trying to stand and make some throws, but I feel good and got to get back and try to get off the phone and get recovered and get ready for Thursday. Drake, I just want to ask you real quick about the fan support that you received yesterday down there.

How much did the support of the thousands of Patriots fans that traveled to Tampa mean to you? I mean, whenever you guys scored or made a big play, it was loud on TV. And those MVP chance afterward must have really meant something to you. It's awesome. I think every week they're traveling.

They're traveling well.

We travel well.

I think we've had a history of traveling well.

They're down there every week and we're giving something to cheer for. And I feel like our whole side was basically Patriots fans. So that was awesome to see. And I can't think our fans enough. They've been a huge part of it. We've got to keep going, and they got to keep showing up for home and away.

Speaking of things, it must be nice to see.

You've always said, you know, get the ball to your guys because they're better with it than you are yesterday. You get it to Kyle Williams. He goes 70. You got Henderson with a couple 50-plus-yard touchdown runs. Must be nice to just get it to those guys and kind of watch the back of their jerseys as they run down the field. Yeah, I mean it when I say it. These guys are fast. I think we had three of the,

I think we had the three top fastest players of the whole weekend. So that was awesome to see.

Awesome for those guys. And just looking forward to them keep making plays.

So, Drake, looking forward now integrating, you know, in the absence of Ramandre and Kayshan Booty yesterday, integrating the speed and the home run threats of Kyle Williams and Travion Henderson, what kind of a difference could that make for your offense going forward? And also, did you get a chance to talk with Coach Vrable after Trayvion's second touchdown? Because I think he looked back to you saying like, saying like take a knee and Coach Rable was like, no, go ahead and score. That was pretty funny. Yeah, it's huge. I mean, anytime it helps us out with a one play, 70 yard drive for a touchdown, that's nice on everybody. I think that Trayvion's a two-play, 65-yard drive for touchdown. So that helps out everybody, especially those big guys up front for blocking. And it just really makes it fun. It makes it fun the long trot down there to the end zone when those guys score for me. So it's awesome. You know, we have as many of those that we want as we can get. And then, yeah, Coach Brabel, I think it was a tough scenario. They had two-time outs left, so like Trayvon looked back and, you know, whatever he saw, I think he said he may saw one of our teammates. So that's how it was pretty funny. Drake May here with WEI Afternoons on a Patriots Monday. Drake, obviously you're a young quarterback, so every stadium or experience or situation you're learning from as you go here in year two.

I was wondering with the rain early on yesterday, were the conditions an issue throwing the ball?

Or what was that like early on there in those conditions?

Yeah, I mean, the rain, a little bit, we have usually rain balls and footballs that are non-rain footballs,

but I've got to make better throws in the rain.

I feel like I was still spending it all right.

Just got to make better throws in that first drive.
