Ben Watson, Patriots TE

It's our weekly conversation with patriots tight end Ben Watson good morning bad how are yeah. -- Don't find a -- yesterday we spent a lot of time and all this week on on on you know what subject but we took a step further yesterday. And talked to a number of people about coaching methods. And techniques and requirements and things that good coaches do. To help their teams -- we spoke with Herman Edwards we spoke with Doc Rivers and they both agreed -- that -- more difficult and important things that a good head coach does. Is deal with athletic failure now maybe this would be a better question asks somebody who plays. But the Oakland raiders of the Buffalo Bills or Cleveland but in your estimation and over your career how important is it to have a head coach that brings energy and positively back to work the morning after you suffering a a heartbreaking loss in this case to Indianapolis.

Our first -- in -- is the leader. Between you know part of almost. You know routine Barbara -- Saunders personality. In order to bounce back from a law and order the maintain you know you have to be aware you know a lot of that although although it's mostly come -- first meeting on Monday.

As best as you can tell us. Does Belichick handled it. With we have a combination of positive that he and critical assessment is the is he dollar is -- energetic. How does he address you guys and get you back on the track this week to stop thinking about the colts and start thinking about the --

You -- both maybe the death occurred voted that we -- corporate news. Do. What. Bottom diabetes real. Israel whenever situation -- are -- doing a good and whether individual. It got to tell you -- on a backup products so you so you know that you gonna coach you arm. For the betterment of the Cingular may impose that from the football game he -- whatever the president is so awful Bosnian mementos -- and you better prepared so everything you'd look there's the meeting. What is he not speak about at a meeting sort of post decision. -- about very tough decision. Although -- boats or the betterment and improvement and success the author.

I mention these three teams earlier this conversation Oakland buffalo and Cleveland. And I know this was a tough week down at Gillette for the patriots but it's the it's the exception rather than the rule for you you guys. My senses -- the raiders and the bills and the browns show up. Every Monday and Tuesday and went into the back to work is a gnawing feeling can do a match to what must be like to go to work as one of those members -- both.

tactic but not bear border I know it. A bad article you'll be you know lose McCain read this stuff nobody wants to -- you know what you lost one game more than you'd lose you'd call a game development nobody wants. Lou so it follows. Some loot to deal. Competitor first. You know second earlier. You know -- a decision that deliberate and it -- the moon. So on -- nobody spoke you know on better and out on applause sold within their product correct that. Are women that we.

And tell us how surprised were you when you who have found out you were gall report on fourth and two and how convinced were you that the play was gonna work.

You know honestly. I'm in became your in the flow and you do -- call. In -- will point out you know automatic -- you know. Are no matter where that word is pork barrel Brodeur probably about Latvian are you -- come -- But there have been out over pop or so. Not though worst they've become a certain amount -- he -- because who decide they wanna do. Mark number not to let me miners more forward and Atlanta went forward -- You know so you never know what because an attitude that appeared. In the player you -- you what. The coach called the bush and Omar ordered. You do your best bet -- There's about our nor do we have the a lot of top. Actually -- regarded as political worker or not or do we do there's some super Uga. In -- so that the coasters you know -- deal with -- McCain parent out there on the dangerous so you know focus group -- low. You know a lot of being -- product all of I would.

You feel like you outplayed the colts in the at the end of the day did you feel like you had the had a game one.

Bill are. We play very well. And a lot of very investor -- we we executed our game where you don't want it to you come in here. I think it was just so not being with the outbreak. I mean they came back that -- that you know that we got the player with six minutes and repair it or whether come back. And their opinion of us and if you reduce your -- they've picked by the -- for sixty minutes so you'll -- to commit about. A target seemed to player real world -- display it better than we do it on a period of auto on the back.

Bet I'm gonna ask you for a guest about a percentage guesstimate with -- particular question I think by and large most people even outsiders from an organization. Understand that wins and losses by a large are determined by. You know game planning. Preparation. X.s and o.s in the right place and that certainly X acute and in all three phases of the game that we know. But I'm wondering based on the emotional aspect that most outsiders look at your team getting ready for the jets. What percentage of of your ability to win is based on emotional levels and and an -- what -- system my mind. You Marty a loss to the jets the multi jets they mouth off and be two in week number two. And you're coming off its calls -- blob which is very disappointing and most people think it will be an ornery. New England Patriots football team. On the field on Sunday doomed those two things having lost the jets and being angry about the cold thing. Provide 1% 2% no percent of your ability to win the football game.

Well you nothing to -- to them people. You know upgrade a big so something. -- players take it. You know the political code that they could -- police. Old -- here -- go -- you can in most or all occurred so foreign mostly come around about the first quarter. Probably -- beautiful portrait to the first drop in motion. Roosevelt and been like you fit about about preparation at all about execution. -- thought about what to do all of those so. The most important do what is bet that that that several into the matter. As far as well and winning all the beautiful -- of about of the Koran I mean you've got to prepare -- week. Get have a group recuperate -- Eric you -- when you've mark set.

They on the film that you saw notes. Not the same one we saw do you think Kevin had the first down.

Bodyguard the first. -- Current McCain of thought thought they had the first I thought it first down our reaction about their reaction will -- there. Looking at that film -- you do. Where. You know those being happy go do it's it's helped call a war wanna be directly in that situation. You know you make -- that was second definitive break so we're being the first down marker to. And the global political review -- honestly. A -- would be the -- or so cute so unfortunately when --

Bentley -- know you with this based on your conversation with Steve Burton after the game Sunday night. You'll ever need Dennis and Callahan is there a question mark there.

But apparently it.

Wouldn't you if you are you are are brought about a word that record for her birthday did the right look you better field goal lets you very bet the dogs and you let you know when you're gonna let's put up. --

Emotional. -- and -- yes peaks and valleys Tuesday well one game time sort of a rip J. D. Drew. Yet when not at a just maybe Jason Bay Jenn -- who doesn't have that now locker room. Brady gets emotional thing can radio does but it's still measured as of Bruschi you think it's a little emotional.
