00:00Standing as a Patriots Monday here on WEI, we're joined right now by cornerback Christian Gonzalez here again on a Patriots Monday
00:07He's brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market perfecting the art of fresh by John sewer and drain cleaning the name to know when your
00:12Drains don't flow Christian Gonzalez. How we doing this week?
00:17We're doing well no easy way to put it Thursday night was a rough go a difficult showing you guys are back in the building
00:24Do you feel like you now have watch your way through that you're able to put that laws behind you
00:29How do you feel after that game on Thursday night?
00:33Yeah, I mean like you said we went out there we got beat but I mean we put it behind us work
00:39We're ready to move forward for the for the 49ers
00:42You know week to week in the league is just one great receiver after the next and whether it's Jamar chase DK Metcalf Garrett
00:49Wilson, I know there's some injuries with San Francisco, but still like on down the line
00:53How easy is it to get motivated week in and week out to take on one of those guys?
00:59Yeah, I mean, you know as a corner you want to go up against the best, you know
01:03Just being able to go up against the best only makes you better and I'm always up for the challenge
01:08And it's it's fun to go out there. I love going up against, you know, the
01:13Leagues best so it's a fun matchup, you know, and I know you have to do what the whatever the defense is called
01:19But would you prefer just to man-to-man one-on-one? No help just follow the guy all around the field and play that way
01:29Yeah, I mean there's times like that within
01:32You know, it's a team game. So no matter what that no matter what it's I
01:37Rely upon the on the front and and they rely on me. So either way
01:43Whatever is whatever it's called
01:46Entering the weekend and these numbers can adjust. I haven't checked the updated numbers this morning, but entering the weekend
01:52According to pro football focus you were rated 114 out of 143 corners in coverage this year
01:58Any thoughts on on those numbers and the advanced analytics in general?
02:05No, no, really
02:09What do you think that people speak for you those numbers are garbage
02:12Do you think I'm watching the games?
02:13It's not just because you're our guest those numbers are do you think that paints an accurate picture of how you're playing? I
02:19Mean people watch the games
02:22You see what happens? I mean, it's oh, no, I really gotta pay attention to the numbers
02:26Is that those things ever even come up like or is that something inside the locker room whether it be player-to-player or
02:33Coaches mentioned that is that something that that is on any of your guys radar?
02:38No, we don't but we keep everything in house, whatever
02:42You know, all that matters is what's what's in said inside the locker room. What's what what we do here
02:49So, I mean, we don't really let any of the outside noise or any of that
02:53You know kind of speak to us what's the internal feedback you get on your play thus far this year
02:58I'm looking at a lot of the individual numbers when you're matched up on chase when you're Matt
03:02We know the the long touchdown was on more of a broken play to DK Metcalf matched up individually last week
03:07Even on Garrett Wilson, the individual numbers are pretty good. What's the internal feedback? You're getting on your level of play? I
03:15Mean there's the plays I I left out there and I know I want to make
03:21I
03:22Mean, it's good seeing it early in the year
03:25just
03:26scouting on myself what I what I need to fix and
03:31Things like that when you guys aren't playing on a Sunday like yesterday, are you watching the rest of the league?
03:36You watching red zone like a lot of us or you just getting away from it all. I
03:42Mean I think I watched a little bit of the Cowboys game, but that wasn't a good game
03:50More so getting away from it more just chilling relaxing playing the game
03:57Kind of getting away from it like using like a little mini by week playing what when you say playing the game
04:02What do you what do you play more college football? You're back. You're back to that. Yeah
04:07Nice what are you doing? You're doing dynasty ultimate team. What are you doing? I usually just play my friend. Got it. Nice
04:16That's too much work
04:18Yeah paying out all that NIL money to do something you are you gonna get doing in that game, okay, so you're playing a little
04:26NCAA football as you look ahead to the 49ers. I know rich asked you a little bit about the matchup
04:31What jumps out with San Francisco?
04:35I mean a complete team. I mean they go out there and know the physical
04:41They got a good offensive a good defense
04:46And then even at the end of the day it's in the way and so, you know
04:49We got to bring our energy in and just go out there and start fast
04:53And it seems like they've got a ton of injuries going on and yet
04:56They have guys that are jumping up like Juwan Jennings who I don't think anybody would have thought was their
05:01Best receiver and maybe he is in but he had three touchdowns and looks like a true number one
05:06So it seems like regardless of who San Francisco has available to him. They got a pretty high-powered offense. Oh
05:12Yeah, for sure, it's the NFL everybody's up on this level for a reason
05:18So it's like that on every team when when when people go down, you know, it's the next man up
05:24Expected to do the same thing
05:26What'd you uh, and I know you guys have things going on on the sideline at the end of the game
05:31What uh, what'd you think if anything of Drake May and his performance at the end of the game on Thursday? I
05:36Mean
05:40Look good for him to get out there
05:42Yeah, I'm not a Kiwi coach at any
05:46Level, so, I mean I can't really grade his performance. I
05:50Mean it was good to see him to get to you know, get get accent get in there and take a couple hits. I mean
05:57It's good for him to get out there. Okay. Well, we'll maybe be seeing him at some point in short order this season
06:03You guys will be back out there on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers
06:06He's Christian Gonzalez of the New England Patriots here on a Patriots Monday on WEI Christian. We appreciate the time. Thanks so much
06:14Appreciate it. All right. Thank you Christian Gonzalez brought to you by Verizon the official 5g network of the New England Patriots
06:21I will say
06:22Watching him those those grades are out of whack. Yeah, I'm not
06:26Kisses kisses behind no guests, but like just watching him when he's been matched up on those guys
06:32I can only think of a few
06:34Catches there's the one in Metcalf not the big one in Metcalf. That was a busty coverage
06:37But there was one on the sideline where he picked up a first down
06:39But for the most part the numbers were really down for three of the elite receivers in the league
06:43Yeah, there was a touchdown to Garrett Wilson. That was a brilliant throw by Rogers. Like I don't think that was bad coverage
