FOXBOROUGH - Drake Maye was excited to get back to work, get on to preparing for the Miami Dolphins.
But part of moving on, part learning from mistakes.
Speaking with the media Wednesday, Maye said there were several areas he needed work on, notably decision-making, being better in the red zone, and accuracy.
He said there were some throws he’d like to have back, missing some guys that were open during the 20-13 loss to the Las Vegas raiders.
His first pass to DeMario Douglas he airmailed. He overthrew Hunter Henry on another pivotal throw. His one interception was an overthrow to Stefon Diggs.
Maye, who completed 30 of 46 passes for 287 yards with a touchdown and interception, said he rushed several throws. But beyond that, he felt like he threw it pretty well throughout the game.
“I’m not going to over-harp on too much, but at the same time, you gotta hit guys when they’re open,” Maye said. “Accuracy is one of the biggest things for a quarterback. Being accurate is what I take pride in. I can’t miss those guys.”
Maye once again said he didn’t feel like there was too much on his plate - something Patriots coach Mike Vrabel indicated the team was going to evaluate.
He also said there weren’t any notable differences in practice. It was important to establish the run, but also have a viable passing game.
“I feel like we got guys we can throw to in space and make plays,” Maye said. “And we can hurt teams with the pass. I don’t feel like anything’s changed. I’m just trying to do my part, whatever they ask me to do.”
