How is Travis Hunter feeling after two games and what does he need to improve?
Two games in, Travis, just how are you feeling about how you've been playing and sort of where do you feel like you need to get to?
It's only been two games in. What it is, nine games in the NFL for me, so just got to continue to work, continue to just get better.
How do you compare kind of how you feel right now both physically, mentally with learning the game compared to where you were at this time last season two games in?
I feel like I just move a lot quicker. I know a lot more. I know what I did last year, and I just feel like the guys are starting to trust me a little more and more every week. So I just continue to just get better and be comfortable out there.
Liam mentioned yesterday that they want to try and share the wealth around a little bit more offense. Just how difficult is that when you guys just have so many weapons on this offensive side?
It's not difficult when you want to win. So that's our motto.
What did Travis experience in the virtual‑reality room – defensive or offensive simulations?
We want to go out there and win and compete with everybody and just continue to dominate. So I feel great about it.
Travis, when you were in that virtual reality room and stuff, did you only do defensive stuff or were
you able to do some offensive play stuff? No, I did both.
Okay. Is it easier in there mocking it with the defensive stuff versus the offensive stuff or no?
No, it's about the same. You just learn pretty much the same thing. You just got to continue. You just got to flip it, chill.
So do you have someone in there that actually tosses you the ball when snaps like to help you out or? No,
no, no.
Why does the Patriots offense want to “share the wealth” and how does that affect game planning?
It's just
more looking at the coverage and stuff?
Yeah, looking at the coverages and just continue to just figure out the formations and stuff like that.
What are you happy with, with the way you've performed so far, and where are you looking to
grow? I'm just happy that I can continue to get better. We got a game next week, well, this week coming up, so that's the best thing.
Camp said that you had a really good day of practice yesterday. Just why is it important to you specifically, you know, come out here and kind of respond this week and have a good week of practice?
I feel like all of us want to respond. We lost. We didn't win. So we feel like we just got to continue to get better and just lock in more.
A lot of the guys yesterday were saying that it was a really intense practice.
How intense has the practice been this week and what does that mean after a loss?
Did you feel that intensity continue today, or did it drop off or stay the same?
No, it's definitely been intense this whole week. Coming off a loss, you don't want to lose. You don't want to give the coaches any more energy to yell at you. So you just try to go out there and just be better.
Have you had any communication with the coaches about the rotation this week at cornerback?
I'm going to leave that up to the coaches to answer. That ain't for me to answer. Absolutely
a huge opportunity to respond the right way and to get back on track for our goals and what we're trying to do this year. How much stress can that Patriots offense put on the defense? Yeah, I mean, quarterback does a great job of extending plays and doing all that. So you gotta be on your P's and Q's and rush lanes gotta be on point.
How does the Patriots’ passing attack stress the secondary and rush lanes?
But, yeah, it could definitely be challenging if 11 aren't playing as one. When the quarterback's kind of moving around like that and you kind of got to keep track of him plus whatever other responsibilities, how does that make your job harder, the defense's job harder? It's just the discipline to be able to, if you're in coverage, stay in coverage. If you're in the rush, to be in your rush lanes and to be able to work off of each other to feel where the space is. It shouldn't be any more difficult because you should be disciplined in your job regardless. But there's definitely an uptake, especially in the secondary, being able to plaster and stay with their guys in the rush. We're racing to get to the quarterback so they don't have to do that as long.
And they got two running backs that are kind of different in style, kind of have to keep track of who's on the field a little bit. Absolutely, absolutely.
