It is a Patriots Friday and normally we get to see the smiling face of Logan Mankins sitting. Here across the table from us will trying to take it personally that he joins us on the telephone today hello Logan.
Yeah I would go to Oriole pretty well hi -- There just. Aren't aren't. Out.
So what's the what's the plan for the bio wait for you Woody and do.
Not just -- But. -- stage right now that it straight.
Yet they didn't exactly be any favors weather wise today like he had golf in mind -- Somethin' else they didn't help you out there.
Yeah did they edit everything planned.
how is the -- week of practice bent and -- and the aftermath the the disaster we watched on Sunday.
It well like usual we're all and it cheap tickets. We were up forty or and we were that we need.
Logan after you watch the film of the game what did you think coming just from your position. As an offensive -- as a guard. What did you think went wrong. With the things that you could handle on Sunday.
For me personally. It able British which. I shouldn't. Which. For most of my own fault. -- Sitting properly wish it'd. I think yeah a lot of the problem with the game well it. If you like on every played it but he not doing. A lot of -- in net just one person. With much of that which was an assessment is exactly.
I was looking at the stats this week here in the paper about sacks. Through three games and and of course that's the number of one of the numbers that drives offensive lineman crazy. How much of -- are circumstances. How much of them mark quarterback inexperienced. How much of them -- breakdowns on the offensive line.
It's a team step it usually they offered -- going to take this the ability for the that. Take -- and it and sometimes it's the running -- the other is that what they're irritated and they're just know -- get open and then. Quarterback had to hold the ball and eventually they're going to get by as -- well forever but. We don't quite big in the they can effect our children is this we know best part of the game and if there's effective and -- in the -- it --
There was a lot of our conversation about the when he won game winning streak. After her after Sunday for obvious reasons you lost but did you think about that streak it all and if so. What what do you think about.
We really we dont think about the streak ending. But. -- earlier just try to win games but nothing you think about this streak is the pretty pretty amazing streak that a lot of games Earl. But -- during the regular season. It was a different feeling around -- this -- in when we've heard probably come in Irving receiving game in. We didn't win -- we've lost -- it was a different feelings.
Is that our routine after wins that you had begun to develop that you didn't do on Sunday mean what would you do to typically after away.
A couple of different laws against. But yeah. You know we just air with a double alive for a little while and go home and I still did the same -- as to which -- this but lose in this that it wouldn't it was as.
We knew we were kind of half joking about would that would like Vince when he was in here on Monday. If you think about it in your entire Patriots career how many games have you lost.
Not too many I think. I wrote you know I have we lost Weaver. And the exit. Because 612. Or. Last two or sixty. To me again then that it is pleased to be we won game.
You probably -- he definitely allows more games in college than you did as a pro right.
Italy. Oh. I was pretty closely there was to it in the colors do we easily had a pretty good.
It that your body Joey Porter have anything to say to you on Sunday. A minute that that the unfortunate part of the of the game is that Joey Porter. Came off looking like a prophet of sorts.
Yeah we just fuel the fire with -- I guess anymore would. A -- something that they next game. With -- that he like this these. He is so. It is what it is. We didn't. Made it easier for McKee they have.
You you mentioned that sacks are kind of a team statistic and and I know down here winning and losing is eighteen situation as well. D get a little frustrated with the attention that your quarterback in the offense gap. In a game in which your defense gave up 38 points anyway and yet everybody's talking about whether Matt Cassel complete quarterback and.
Not really we know that we had a -- game. We don't really pay attention to the decent to us is we know we don't do our we're not going to win. Florida went to big -- put up thirteen points so. It doesn't matter who we usually just go out I -- scored the other teams in the peace and so then it's important to -- of course seventeen great team win that. Lewis scored -- points is that possible. Thirteen just not enough to win consistently every week.
There were some boos on Sunday. There were people leaving the the stadium early. And Ellis Hobbs at some comments about the fans leaving early and blowing. Did you have a problem with either Boozer or leaving before the game was so.
The boos you don't really hear sometimes. I don't really -- And we played like crap so I. Was expected in the there used to -- very well and winning games in. We did we gave. Very. As a very good game for -- and I could see why they would do in this for leaving early in the game that control we're always -- stadium and were killed somebody. Which is always --
Is there a certain frustration that the bye week falls at a time when you got to sit and stew on this for two weeks.
I don't think so I think it's his first. They have to be here for two weeks with a lot that it in three ability in everything you dream. We're the best team in the world -- it. I think it's different this sit here I think that we were not as productive as we want to be a lot of work to do -- I think it'll make this better that we had this this.
I know your position coach in fact I've known him longer than you he'll tell you that all you want. He'll tell they're not as good if they tell you lot.
Yeah. But it if you let you know go to.
good or bad. Logan we we wish you well on the off week get a couple of days of rest and and I know right back out of on Monday collecting is that as we move forward talked again next week. I look at okay loaded there enjoy that is Logan Mankins.
