Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett brings an extremely important element to the table in his current role.
He’s been here before.
Brissett quite literally started out in New England, but we’re more talking about the situation as a whole. The Patriots are struggling, and with back-to-back losses on the resume, calls for Drake Maye continue to get louder and louder. Brissett has learned from similar experiences in the past, however, and took time during an extended break to use them as a teaching tool — for both himself and the rest of the offense.
“I think over the last three days I’ve really sat and reflected — maybe for one of the first times in my career — about a lot of situations in my career,” Brissett said Wednesday, per team-provided video. “I really reflected and it puts a lot of things into perspective from a holistic viewpoint, but also from a day-to-day standpoint.
“… You share the experiences. There’s a lot of players on our team that haven’t played that much in the league. We sit at the table in the cafeteria — and either I’m telling a story, or David (Andrews) is telling a story, or Hunter (Henry) is telling a story or K.J. (Osborn) is telling a story. We have guys who can share experiences, and the cool part about it is that we were in similar situations and took different routes to get on the other side. I think that’s a cool part about being in a locker room.”
It’s helpful having a veteran quarterback, huh?
The Patriots are going to move on from Brissett sooner rather than later, which is something we’ve been aware of since the day he was signed, but there’s value in experience.
“My first year in Indy, I got hit a lot. You still keep getting up,” Brissett said. “It’s been about (finding) plays in situations that I like, plays that I don’t like.”
Maye is the most talented quarterback in the room. Brissett’s ability to impart wisdom to younger players, put trust in his teammates and stay steadfast in his approach, however, is much more important at this stage in the rebuild.
“Just keep battling,” Brissett said. “It’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s coming. It’s about going out there — keep battling, keep putting your best foot forward and trusting the process. When it clicks, it clicks… It’s a week-to-week game, and if we put our best foot forward we’ll be alright.”
