1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: First of all, obviously I have to ask you about

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: what you're repping and while you're wearing the jersey. And secondly,

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: how much does a potential week off, which is what

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: really was at stake tonight mean in terms of winning

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: this game. I gotta start. I gotta say hi to

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: London and Brady. They watched this and they they go crazy,

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: they jump at the TV. So hi to my kids.

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: But you know, I had the jersey for a little while.

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: But it's it's obviously Curtis Martin played here. But it's

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: a funny story. When I was growing up in New York,

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: he played for the Jets, and I actually wrote him

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: a letter telling him like, I was a twin one

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL someday, and he sent me

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: three rookie cars signed, one from me, one from my

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: twin brother, and one from my neighbor. So I always

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: had a tremendous amount of respect, especially once I made

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: it to the NFL and kind of realized, like, how

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: you know how hard that is as a professional to

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: kind of go through fan mail and read that and

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: send that back. So I've always been a fan of

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Curtis Martin. UM and uh didn't know him, but obviously

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: I thought he stood for a lot. And you know,

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm thirty two, so obviously an off week sounds great.

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: But I think the cool part is this is two

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: years in a row, the last two games of the

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: regular season have really turned into playoff games for us.

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, you win today, and you win next week

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: and you don't have to play, you know, open a

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: week of the playoffs. So essentially, we win two games,

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: we get the first week of the playoffs also, you know,

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: essentially as a playoff win for us. And I think

32
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: that guys understand that we developed that mentality for you know,

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: here on out, we need to have a mentality of

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: winner go home. You know, every game we play in

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: UM as a playoff game, and if we don't win,

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: it kind of hurts us. And you know, I think

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: we understand that we put a lot into this game

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: this week, and now we got to use the extra

39
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: day all to rest up, and we got to put

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot in the next week against Miami. That's a

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: pretty good look for you right now. There are some

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: rumblings earlier in the season about whether or not the

43
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: team would bring those backs that'll look you'd like to

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: wear on the field. Yeah, hopeful, maybe me wearing it.

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, we'll rush get a rush order of jerseys

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: for everybody and we put them on next week or

47
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I mean, that would be awesome. So

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: maybe if you guys like all right about it all

49
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: at once, it'll help us out. Devin the touchdown before,

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: right at the end of the first half, what happened

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: on that and it seemed like you guys obviously made

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: an adjustment because the middle was not open the rest

53
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: of the game. Deep. Yeah, we kind of thought we

54
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: had to beat on a plane. We tried to be

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: aggressive on it, a call I made in the secondary

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: where we try to try to be a little more aggressive,

57
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: and like you said, after you know anything, you get

58
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: beat on. The touchdown came to the siline, I'm like,

59
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: we're not gonna run that anymore. Um, But I think,

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, like always, guys in our secondary, we were

61
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: very h we move on fast, and I think we

62
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: always come into siline and understand exactly what it was

63
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: and why, you know, a bad play happened for us,

64
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: and then we fix it in got right down to it. So, um,

65
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, a call that we liked coming into the

66
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: week to be aggressive, and they kind of dialed up,

67
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, the perfect call against you know what we

68
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: were doing. Uh, through it away and they kept playing.

69
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: So congrats some AFC title. I think you've won every

70
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: year of your career. Uh yeah yeah. Um. Coach came

71
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: in and you know said some nice things tough, uh

72
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: not pretty uh room for improvement. Uh it sounds like

73
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: that every week every week. Yeah. That's my point is

74
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: is that who the Patriots are not pretty tough can win. Yeah.

75
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think the big thing is win. Um.

76
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: We don't care how we win, you know, we don't

77
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: care what it looks like. We just want to win,

78
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: and especially at this time of the year, you want

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: to obviously improve each week. UM. And I think defensively

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: for us, it was a it was a hell of

81
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: a boost our offense. UM. I mean up and down

82
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: the field. We we spent a lot of time on

83
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: that sideline UM with them just really chewing up the clock,

84
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: having great drives. Um. And I think that's what we

85
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: talked about all years, just being able to compliment each other,

86
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: and that showed up tonight obviously with Nick Fault kicking

87
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: some tough field goals here, keeping us really going in

88
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: the game, offense having scoring drives, and you know, once

89
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: we took the lead that last time, defensively we just said,

90
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: don't let him in. Ends on we got seven point lead,

91
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: don't let him in. And you know, we've loved every

92
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: year where we get to close out on a fourth

93
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: down play and step up and everybody make the play

94
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: that they're supposed to make, Devin, these fans have watched

95
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: a lot of wins obviously at you Lette Stadium and

96
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: tonight's crowd, it seemed in my experience and zone I

97
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: talked about this on the radio broadcast, was about is

98
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: into it and amped up as any regular season crowd

99
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: at you Lette State. Did you guys sense that feel

100
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: that how much did it implore you defensively? Yeah? Man,

101
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: I thought kV said we needed Gilette rocking before the

102
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: game on a tweet. I retweeted it. I think James

103
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: retweeted it, and it felt like, you know, the fans

104
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: came in. I think anytime the fans coming here with

105
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: energy is up to us as a team, you know,

106
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: to get off to an early start, to be competitive

107
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: and make sure they get to stay in the game, so,

108
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, and games we've needed. Our fans, they've stepped

109
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: up and they've made it loud here, they made it tough,

110
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: and it's always been crucial for us. You know, our

111
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: record show is playing at home. How much we like

112
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: playing here, and take advantage of it. So, you know,

113
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: we gave ourselves a couple more games here for the

114
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: rest of the season. We gotta take advantage of that,

115
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: and whatever it is for the rest of the season. Man,

116
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: we just gotta go out there and get wins. I

117
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
