Deatrich Wise asked Monday if his landing in the last quarter opposed that of the Las Vegas Raiders, the first to score.
His one-kilometre smile gave his answer.
“This is my first touchdown, ” said the defensive wing of the New England Patriots, radiant. “Yes, in any game. “
Wise’s scoreboard, which put the finishing touches to patriots’ 36-20 win Sunday at Gillette Stadium, came after teammate Shilique Calhoun hit Quarterback Derek Carr’s ball in the finish zone.
With the piece etched in his mind, Wise was more than pleased to provide an incredibly detailed summary at his Monday afternoon conference call.
“With an echo call, the supporter gave us the call,” Wise said, preparing the scene. “After that, I looked at Shilique and said, “Hey, let’s go play a game. He nodded. When we put our hands on the ground, we can hear the constant beat, knowing that it is a wonderful moment. While the bullet has broken, we continue with the trick. And the next thing I know, Shilique and I are quarterbacks at the same time. Chase (Winovich) shoots his boy, just like Adam (Butler). And the way we all closed our pockets, and Shilique and I gave us a combination and beat the quarterback . . . And then the rest, everyone knows.
First, the game was considered a capture and security shared between Wise and Calhoun. But a video review revealed that Calhoun dropped the ball before Carr hit the turf and hit it directly on Wise’s right arm.
Patriots players temporarily learned that the call would be reversed, which triggered a euphoric birthday party on New England bench.
“I knew right away it was a landing because while Shilique and I were putting it in, I saw the ball come out,” said Wise, who ran out of the pile with the ball. “And I grabbed the ball when the ball came out, and fell to the ground. I picked it up, and the first thing that happened was that I had the ball.
“I tried to prove to everyone that I had the ball in my hand. I thought, “That’s a touchdown. Touchdown. ” I kept saying touchdown. And then we all celebrate.
Wise described the celebration, which featured a giant organization of defensive players, as well as quarterbacks Cam Newton and Brian Hoyer, as “pure emotion. “Team captains Devin and Jason McCourty nevertheless had to step in to break the band line. who had trained around the fourth-year professional.
“Real love, ” said Wise, That’s what Array means and we were all happy. It was a touchdown, and we all celebrate it as we know: together.
Beyond that game, Wise has been one of the Patriots’ most advanced players in 3 games this season. The weight and strength he added in the off-season helped him resist more in ground play and use tougher hand games.
Wise brought the latter into the first Las Vegas property on Sunday, leading Kolton Miller’s left take straight into Carr to force a third control.
“I think his defensive opposed to the race took a step forward and gave us a lot of forged play there,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday. “Of course we know he can rush the smuggler, but he’s done a clever task of mixing edge movements and racing techniques with a little tougher strength and rushes, long arms, things like that, so he’s got a smart compliment and a clever repertoire where he can throw 3 or 4 more locations. But I think what he’s worked hard and taking a step forward, his defense opposes the race.
“So when you mix it all up, it gave us 3 weeks of play here. “
Wise said he kept the ball away from his landing and proudly planned it on his coat.
