Matthew Judon strip sacked Drake Maye on Friday
Regarding the ‘hold in’ issue before the training camp, some questions have been raised concerning the New England Patriots’ linebacker Matthew Judon. He chose to be a good example and exercise with the team during the training camp. Garn slammed his frustration over his contract issue with the Patriots by intercepting Maye during the practice session on Friday and rushing to the end zone.
During the OTAs this spring Maye had his fair share of both highs and lows. The April’s draft third overall choice attributed New England Patriots’ high ranked defense impact as a challenge while getting acquainted with the team’s quarterback position.
But some of these mishaps are not so much due to the defense of the Patriots but more so due to Maye’s naivety. After the practice session on Friday, Maye dwelled on the pick 6 to the reporters.
From the words that Maye said as transcribed by Phil Perry from NBC Sports, Maye intended to take it deep but had to go the checkdown instead. He threw the ball to his checkdown without looking:He threw the ball to his checkdown without looking:
“Just a rookie mistake I guess, no pun intended,” Maye said. “Caught a deep shot and was about to throw to the flat late, well in this league they’re going to cover the running backs and that’s when you have to look before you throw it. ”
At least in baseball, you should always know what you are getting into. In NFL, the posture of the figure that throws the ball has to look that way, where it goes.

Maye said he took the interception hard but is learning to bounce back after making a poor throw:Maye said he took the interception hard but is learning to bounce back after making a poor throw:
”You cannot take boom and bust,” he said. ‘Every play is a new play,’ I just can’t be too hard on myself Some times I put too much pressure on myself for example as I did when I through my first interception, yeah just has to kind of move on It’s how you learn how to move on in this league And I am learning that.
Maye will fumble more during training camp but the thing which matters for him is that he loses the ball during training camp but he becomes ready and come back to gain a touchdown for his team during the next drive.
