I don't believe we've ever spoken on 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: the radio before. So I just wanted to know before 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: we begin, if you are well versed in answering our 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: questions without saying anything, without saying anything, maybe a little 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: bit all right, all right, good? Um um, I'm gonna 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: start with this week and with all of the noise, 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: I wanted to know if this week has been any 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: different in in that locker room. Uh, you know, we're 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: attacking it like another game week. We really are. We 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: know the Bills are a great opponent, and um, we're 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: trying to get after them. So we gotta we gotta 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: have a good game plan throughout the week and we 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: gotta go out there and execute. They're off to a 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: great start. Um. You know, they played some close games 16 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: and have really played well. And it's a great defense 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: and a great challenge for us offensively to go against. 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: And where I asked to be ready, I hate to 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: ask a rank question without Nick being here, but where 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: would you where would you rank Buffalo when it comes 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: to crazy road experiences? Oh it's up there, It's up there, 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: for sure, you know. They're they're fans, they're they're wild, 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: they're unbelievable. Um, as far as you know, supported their team, 24 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: and I'm just creating a great atmosphere. So, um, you know, 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: it's a place that's um you know, it's a hostile 26 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: environment and it's it's kind of fun to play in honestly, 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,279 Speaker 1: just because, um, you know, so much going on there 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: and um, you know, may get some things thrown at 29 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: you out on the field after you score something, but 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: now it's cool. I enjoy playing in it. Yeah, I 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: mean make sure you look around. You don't want to 32 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: get hit with some kind of an arrant, sex toy 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: or something like that. Um. It was the big report 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: this week that we talked a lot about on this 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: show and others here the station that that Tom Brady 36 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: went thirty for thirty throwing to a b during Friday's 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: practice last week. UM. I wanted to know if you 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: could confirm that, because everybody's talking about that, you know, 39 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I can't confirm for you, So 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure the statistics. There's all right, Well, do 41 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 1: you know who Jermaine Wiggins is? Yes? Oh, all right, okay, good, 42 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: all right, waited. He has waited. Tom Brady doesn't like him, 43 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: but but but but he has he has a question 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: for so Rex. Obviously, losing a B is you know, 45 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: it's a it's a big blow to the offense because 46 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: you take a player like that out of you know, 47 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: your offense. You can do a lot of different things. 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: But the one thing we've seen with you is you've 49 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: been in multiple positions being able to do multiple things 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: for this offense. How do you continue to do that 51 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: on the field and then focus to just every week 52 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: to make sure you go out there and you can 53 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: add more to the team now that you lose a 54 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: guy like a B. Yeah, just trying to say, um, 55 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: you know it's locked in as possible and whatever roles 56 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: the coaches asked me to do, h, just be ready 57 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: to step into those roles and um, you know, try 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: to do that on a consistent basis. And uh, not 59 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: just myself, but anyone else. Um, you know, they can 60 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: help fill those roles or fill those shoes if we 61 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: ever have anyone go down. Um, you know that's important. 62 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's something that this team has as 63 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: a guys, guys with a bunch of versatility, you can 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: do multiple things, and UM, you know that helps us 65 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: out as a team. Um. Rex Burkhead is our guest. 66 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: Does does Brady treat the running backs differently now that 67 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: he has over a thousand career rushing yards? He feels 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: like one of us. That's funny. I'm gonna attempt another 69 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: question and see if I can get some kind of 70 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: a response, because it's been a big time topic around 71 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: these parts, and that is Bill Belichick and um, the 72 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: way in which he kind of leads this team with 73 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: regard to interacting with the media. And so I wanted 74 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: to find out if you guys look at Bill and 75 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: the way the way he conducts himself press conference wise, 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: interview wise, and if you then take a lead from that, 77 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: and and is that something that he says or is 78 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: that something that is just observed and followed by you guys. 79 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Um you know, I just I think he keeps it, 80 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, about the week, about the game where we're facing. 81 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: And UM, so we try to understand that same mindset, doesn't, 82 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, matter what's happened in the past or um 83 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, things that have gone on last season or 84 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: previous season or the week before. UM, you know, he 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: wants us to be in the president, have that day 86 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: of focus, um, to go out there and prove. So, yeah, 87 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: we do try to have that mindset because we're understand, um, 88 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: it's important to have um if we want to you know, 89 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: put together the best um, you know, game playing at 90 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: mindset and team oriented atmosphere, atmosphere for that week. Have 91 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: you ever been on the receiving end of one of 92 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: his death stairs there? Maybe I don't know, I don't know. 93 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: You certainly don't want to be right, No, you definite 94 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: want to be Yeah, no, you definitely know you don't 95 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: want to. But the Monday morning meeting you usually do 96 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: you get one of those. There's always in one that 97 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: comes during that Monday morning film session that Bill will 98 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: make sure he gives you that death stare. Oh yeah, 99 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean if you don't, you know, do something right 100 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: on the field, then um, you know he's not gonna 101 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: be happy, which is you know, it's his job is 102 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: to correct us. So um, you know I wouldn't be 103 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: too happy either. Now, Greg brought up a point as 104 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: far as the culture in the locker room and the 105 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: way Bill Belichick runs things there and you know you 106 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: play in Cincinnati and now obviously you're here in New England. 107 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about how when you got here 108 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: this culture is just something that players, uh, they just 109 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: kind of conformed to. Yeah, you know, I think it 110 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: starts with the leadership. UM. You know, definitely some of 111 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: the guys who have been here a while, Matthew Slater, Jules, 112 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, Tom m you know, guys that have really 113 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: just bought in and understood what it takes to um, 114 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, be great and be successful.
