1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Joining us right now. New England Patriots running back James White.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: It's kind of silly to ask how yard today? Right? Yeah, boy, Yeah,

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: tough loss. Obviously did in the way he wanted to. Um,

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: we just got learned from it. Move on, done a

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: tough game this week, so you know, be motivation for

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: this week. Where were you? Where were you? What were

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: you doing or yours? Your helmet off for you talking

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: to some of the running backs? Where where you situated?

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: Did you get a good view of everything? I mean,

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I was just sitting on the sideline just with the

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: running backs, just watching to see what's gonna happen. And

12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: like I said, obviously didn't. It didn't go our way unfortunately,

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: But I just got to move on from and can't

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: let it, you know, hang over our head for the

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Do you guys practice a play

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: like that for for your team in a in a

17
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: situation like that, down like that, you just keep the

18
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: ball alive in a sense and just try not to

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: get tackled. And I mean, obviously they did a pretty

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: good job of it, so you gotta give them credit.

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: We never we never heard the Desperado. I love the name.

22
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: We liked the name, but we've never heard it before.

23
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of people use that

24
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: just late to it. I'm load of the whole thing

25
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: now on those plays now, even if you're a little

26
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: bit closer, because we've seen some of these be successful

27
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: in the past and not necessarily as many laterals or things.

28
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: But the idea that instead of the hail Mary where

29
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: you just chuck it into the end zone and hope

30
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: that somebody can jump up over the pile, make the

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: defense make a tackle. Like as an offensive player, do

32
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: you prefer that? I mean, you had you had one

33
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: sort of like that a week ago where you scampered

34
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: for about forty yards. Defense had it covered and that

35
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: was it. But you at least made them make a play. Yeah. Man,

36
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: just depends on the coaches and whenever they want to

37
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: call and whatnot. Everybody has different ways of, you know,

38
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: attacking the last play the game, on the last offensive

39
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: series before Steven's field goal, are you guys trying to

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: score or do you not care if you score or not?

41
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: There you just try and take as much time off

42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: to the clock as possible and then you kind of

43
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: try and score, I mean, just just so happen that way,

44
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: we just keep the field goal and protect the ball

45
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: is the most important thing at that point. Oh yeah,

46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing at the end of the game.

47
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Now where how different was the week war game and

48
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: some of the things they did defensively compared to yesterday.

49
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: They switched it up a little bit, They blissed a

50
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: little bit more. But obviously we kind of anticipated that

51
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: going in and that wasn't gonna be the same game

52
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: as it was early in the season. And I mean,

53
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: it's a tough football game. He knew what it was

54
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: gonna be, knew would come down to the end, and

55
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: obviously didn't go our way with Then you've got a

56
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: forty one year old quarterback. So there are people who

57
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: at times question whether or not the fastball is still there.

58
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: We saw the fastball a few times yesterday. I thought

59
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: the past to Patterson, the touchdown pass was as good

60
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: a pass as he's thrown all year. You're on the

61
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: receiving end of the fastball once in a while, can

62
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: you throw it still? Yeah? Always? I mean he's capable

63
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: of anything. That guys where she extremely hard at his

64
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: craft and me hasn't lost a step at all, and

65
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: me push the balls actly where it needs to be,

66
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: and like I said, like to throw the CPS, it

67
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: was perfect, right on target, A nice case by CP.

68
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: And I think we had a lot of guys make plays,

69
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: uh yesterday, I think a lot. We had a lot

70
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: of weapons offense and everybody came to play. Now, we

71
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: asked Tray this and he said, it wasn't that pig

72
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: of a deal. But fields, I mean they were. They

73
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: had like timeouts where they had like chunks of it

74
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: in their hand, they're trying to piece it together. Did

75
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: you notice the difference with your footing? It wasn't that bad. Um.

76
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Obviously some spots we're worsing others, but like in the

77
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: middle of the field seem but it wasn't too bad.

78
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: Nobody's really slipping or anything that much. So I would

79
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: say it played that much of a factor. When they're

80
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: out carving big chunks of turf, can somebody from the

81
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: field down here that one little patch is pretty bad?

82
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: When the guy fumbled or whatever, that guy kind of bad.

83
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: Do you do you even think about that? Do you

84
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: ever think, oh my god, if I stepped there, who

85
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen? No, you just gotta play football

86
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: and you know, just keep your feet under methie at

87
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: all the time. So you know it happens now as

88
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: a as a fellow running back. Do you see what

89
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is doing a guy who is what is

90
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: he thirty five years old? I think whatever it is

91
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: and still being productive? Like how how impressive is that

92
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: to you? Oh? I trained with him, so I mean

93
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I know what he does during the offseason and how

94
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: hard he works. He takes care of his body, He

95
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: works extremely hard. I mean, you wouldn't think he's as

96
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: old as he is. He keeps up with all of

97
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: us young guys, and we trade him. We have a

98
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: good core running backs that we train with. And like

99
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: I said, you can see it each and every day

100
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: you trained with him, and that he's still got it.

101
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: He I mean, I was blown aways fourth all time

102
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: in rushing yards and he's had an unbelievable career. He's

103
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: that quiet he's like that quiet guy that always has

104
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: that production. And I mean he's a great player and

105
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: he's a great person too. You're a you're a young

106
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: man in this game and you've already you know, had

107
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: some nice accomplishments. Do you ever think about if you'll

108
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: still be carrying the football at thirty five. You have

109
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: no idea. You gotta kind of wait to see what

110
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the future holes. But I mean, Frank's a good guy

111
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: to Emulatia. He does the right way. Now, since you're

112
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: from the Miami area, right, Like, can you explain to

113
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the guys in your team, why why is it so

114
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: difficult to play in Miami? It feels I think one

115
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: in five in the last six games down there for

116
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: you guys, I mean, I don't know what exactly it is.

117
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we always just have been playing as well

118
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: as we need to. Um. Like I said it in again,

119
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: it didn't go away this time. But I think we

120
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: just had to start to ask, you fool, ask for

121
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: the four quarters and just execute four quarter. I think

122
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: that's just all it takes to get a win down there. Well,

123
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: you bring up the question I was going to ask,

124
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: because in the first half, offensively, you guys were executing.

125
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: You were putting points on the board. The end of

126
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: the half, notwithstanding second half you end up kicking a

127
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: couple of field goals. Now, was this adjustments Miami made

128
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: or were you guys just not executing the same way.

129
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: I think it's just executing. I think that's all that

130
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: is at the end of the day, just being able

131
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: to capitalize and get the ball, you know, and the

132
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: reds all and things like that, and that's our main

133
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: focus is trying to score once we get the ball

134
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: down there. So just being better at that and getting

135
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns and not having to sell the field goal that

136
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: always helps. How big of a challenge is it coming

137
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: up this week? A team you guys are pretty familiar with,

138
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: but you're having to go on the road to Pittsburgh.

139
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: That's gonna be tough. Yeah, it's always tough playing those guys,

140
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: he said, it's no one. Another one of those games

141
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a four quarter football game. They have a

142
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: good offense, good defense, and they're good enough special team.

143
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: So it's gonna take everybody. Have to have a good

144
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: week of practice and prepare hard, and you just gotta

145
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: be ready to go from the start. We had a

146
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: question that came up last week that we said only

147
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: a captain can answer. So we're gonna make make sure

148
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: we ask James who picks the playlist for practice? Who

149
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: picks them? Because you had country music Day, somebody always

150
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: tweeting out letting us know what's going on here picks

151
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: who picks the tunes? I have no idea, to be honest,

152
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: it's not it's crossed James White's dam off the list.

153
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: It's not me. He crossed me off that one because

154
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: like like Keith's not a big fan of country music

155
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,120
