00:00We'll have our Patriots guests, as normal on a Patriots Monday, Hunter Henry, Patriots

00:04tight end joining us right now, he's brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market, perfecting

00:07the art afresh.

00:08Hunter Henry, how are we feeling after the big hit yesterday that you took on the field?

00:12We saw you leave for a series of plays, how are you doing today?

00:16I'm good.

00:17You're good.

00:18Can you take us through the process after that hit?

00:20You missed I think eight snaps, which I was surprised it was that few.

00:24What's that process like?

00:25Are you talking to team doctors, the independent spotter?

00:29How does that process work after a big hit like that?

00:32Yeah, just talking to everybody.

00:34I got pulled as a spotter, so it was just kind of late protocol, so I just got to go

00:39through the process, ask some questions, and go through everything, and we did it the right

00:44way.

00:45Everybody did it the right way, and I'm able to get back out there.

00:47We were just talking about that final drive, at least in a situation to set up a potential

00:53game-winning field goal.

00:56Twelve seconds left.

00:57You guys do have a couple of timeouts.

00:58Can you take us through that, because obviously they're playing a deep pre-event defense,

01:02you're just trying to pick up as many yards as you can, but also doing it before the clock

01:06runs out.

01:07Yeah, just trying to get ourselves in a position to either, obviously we kicked it at the end,

01:13or do a home area, whatever it was the case, just trying to give us better chances at the

01:20end.

01:21I don't know what your view was like, but from the TV vantage point, as soon as Sly

01:26kicked it, it looked pretty good.

01:28I mean, it was dead down the middle, and then obviously just fell a couple yards short,

01:32but from your vantage point, what did it look like?

01:34Yeah, I mean, it was a good kick, and obviously on line, just obviously wish we could have

01:40maybe picked up a few more yards, make it easier on them.

01:43Drake May took responsibility after the game for putting the ball on the wrong shoulder

01:48on the interception, the throw to you down by the goal line.

01:51What happened on that play?

01:53Nah, I mean, that's on me, man.

01:55I gotta make that.

01:56So, I gotta be better.

01:57I mean, that's on him, that's on me.

02:00Do you say anything to Drake after a play like that?

02:04I just say it's on me, man.

02:05That's all I told him, and that I gotta make it.

02:09Overall, though, the last few weeks, well, really your whole season, and then the last

02:13few weeks for Austin Hooper, the tight end production has really gone up.

02:17I mean, you and Austin were the leading receivers with both catches and yards yesterday.

02:21Good to see the production from that position moving up.

02:25Yeah, I mean, obviously Hooper is a great football player, and he's awesome to have

02:30in the room, and the guys have done it for a long time, so it's always good to have him

02:34out there.

02:35I love competing with him.

02:37You guys have been stuck on three wins now for a little bit.

02:40You hit the bye week.

02:41What are the goals for the final month when you come back?

02:44I think it's just get healthy right now.

02:48Enjoy a couple days off, and then, yeah, just be ready to attack, and then we'll get back.

02:53You know, yesterday across the NFL was the My Cause My Cleats, and I noticed you were

02:59one of the players that was able to design your own cleats, and can you just tell everybody

03:03what they were for?

03:05Yeah, I supported a ministry and nonprofit that was called Compassion International,

03:13and their slogan is to release all children from poverty in Jesus' name, and they just

03:20help kids across the globe that are just a lot less fortunate, that do not have the resources

03:27and the means like we do to be able to have things, do things, anything, so I support

03:34them, and they do incredible work.

03:37That's a great cause.

03:38I'm curious, how much input do you have in the cleats themselves?

03:42They're pretty sweet, the light blue and everything on there, so how much creative

03:47say did you have?

03:49A little bit.

03:50I kind of leave it up to the designer more than my ideas, but he did a great job.

03:57Before we let you go, Hunter, what are your plans for the bye week that is right around

04:01the corner?

04:03Just spend some time with family, man, and try to regroup and be ready to go on this

04:09back half of the season.

04:10Okay.

04:11Patriots tie-down Hunter Henry joins us every Monday here on Jones and Keefe's Patriots

04:15Monday.

04:16Hunter, we appreciate the time.

04:17Enjoy the bye week.

04:18We'll talk to you soon.

04:19All right, guys.

04:20Thanks, Hunter.

04:21Hunter Henry, joining us here, brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market, perfecting
