FOXBOROUGH Tom Brady targeted NKeal Harry once in Houston.

Texans cornerback Bradley Roby beat him to the spot on the slant, picked the ball off, and Brady didnt look to Harry for the rest of the game.

The first-round pick is intent on making sure that doesnt affect his chemistry with Brady moving forward. Hes trying to leave that play in Texas.

Its football. Things happen," Harry said. "What youve gotta do is, you just have to keep moving forward, have a short memory, and thats how I approach it.

Though he missed the first two months of the season with an ankle injury, Harry maintains that hes comfortable in the Patriots offense, even if the results havent been there yet.

Everything theyre asking me to do is reasonable," he said. "Everything theyre asking me to do is something I can do and something Im capable of doing. So its just putting in the work and getting it done. No excuses.

Earlier this week, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was insightful in explaining that time really the only way Harry and fellow rookie Jakobi Meyers can build trust with Brady.

I think patience is something that I know everybody wants everything to be a finished product, and we do too, but at the same time you have to understand theres going to be a process and were going to try to stick to it, McDaniels said. "We have to be committed to it, and we know that its productive when we stay the course and continue to coach the right things and fix the right things and then the players go out and make corrections and they have success with it.

Once they make the corrections and have success with it, they gain confidence in it and they start to trust each other more, and theres no shortcut to that.
