Asked about winning the long snapper job, Jake Ingram said:
"It's not really a relief. I guess the work really starts. Now that it's my job. I'm going to take it in stride, come to work every day and get better. That's what I'm here to do." (BH)
About how the decision between long snappers was hard, Bill Belichick said that Nathan Hodel will also play in the NFL this season:
"I would expect to see Nate in the league this year." (BH)
About why they released Nathan Hodel before the final preseason game so that Ingram could work with kicker Stephen Gostkowski earlier, Belichick said:
"We have one preseason game left, and we want to let the guys who are going to be together be together. We felt it was better to make it prior to the last preseason game to give those specialists a chance to work together. It was more of a timing thing. Competitively, it could have gone another week." (BH)
About how Ingram was prepared well while he was at UH, Belichick said:
"I think that he was fairly polished in all the areas. Long snapping, short snapping, protection, other things in the punting game, on releasing, and coverage. I also think he's improved in each of those areas." (BH)
