Transcript: Patriots Head Coach Press Conference





How does the loss this week prepare you for the next game?

A loss is something we’re all to familiar with. Apparently it’s what this team does best. It prepares us for another disappointing week or a week of celebration cause it’ll be like a super bowl win to us. When you can’t make the playoffs or do anything right. You can’t help but treat any regular season win like the super bowl. Our super bowl is next week. Hopefully we win









What is the status of Tavion Thomas and when is he set to return?

Tavion will be out for a few more weeks. It really is a big blow to the offense. We were starting to get some success on the ground before he went out. And he was a key contributor to it. Now we have to have others step up. But as far as Tavion. I know he’s itching to get back.




The trade deadline is this week. Should we expect any major moves for the team?

After acquiring both Tyrann Matheiu and George Pickens this past week I don’t see us making any corresponding moves. What you see is what you get with the Patriots for the rest of the season at least.




What were some of the contributing factors to the loss this week?

Inability to run and find rhythm offensively. We spent most our time trying to get out from behind the 8 ball. When you constantly set yourself in 3rd and long situations you know it’s not going to be a good day. It was a long day for the offense and we’re going to need some of our stars to step up and make some plays.
