1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Get an opportunity to talk with New England Patriots running

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: back James White. We start the conversation with James with

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: congratulations on a third Super Bowl opportunity. Thank you, I

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I was thinking about that three super Bowls,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: which is really cool. And you got Joe Tuney on

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: your team who's been in the league three years, isn't

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: it's going to start his third Super Bowl. It's pretty crazy.

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: It's definitely not an easy task to make it to

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: this game, so we never take the opportunity for granted

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: and we just try and make the most of it.

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: You had a huge game in your first Super Bowl

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten receiving yards, twenty nine rushing yards.

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: What do you know now that you didn't know that well?

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you just want to go out there and

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: play your best game. My first time being out there,

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: didn't play my rookie year in the Super Bowl, so me,

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make the opportunity to do whatever

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: I could to help my team get a win. I

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: saw what it took for those guys to go out

20
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: there and beat Seattle, coming down to basically last play

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: the game, So I just want to go out there

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: and play my best. I wondered about this because only

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: two teams in the histor free of the NFL have

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl the year after they lost the

25
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Cowboys did at the Dolphins did it?

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: The feeling that you had at the end of the

27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: game in Minnesota. Has that helped fuel you at all

28
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: this year? I mean, I guess it can a little bit,

29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: But it's all about this team this year. There's new

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: players on this team. Likewise, on the RAM, they have

31
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: different players than last year. So we were just focused

32
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: on this team we know we have and we know

33
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: we're capable of as a team here and we have

34
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: a special group, and we just want to go out

35
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: and you know, finish out the season the right way.

36
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: As a first year captain this year, are your responsibilities

37
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: different for the Super Bowl this year than they've been

38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: in the past. Not necessarily. I treated the same. I

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: always want to be a guy that younger players can

40
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: ask questions to, a guy that's reliable, good teammate, and

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: it's a good example for the guys. I mean, I'm

42
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: not the most vocal guy, but I'll say things they

43
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: need to be said. But still it's not much being said,

44
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: But I just want to be a guy who, you know,

45
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: the younger guys or the rest of the guys can

46
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: lean on. That's one thing about the experience its factor here.

47
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Just from an organizational point of view, This organization knows

48
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: exactly what to do to get you ready to go

49
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta and just focus on your job. Yeah, we do,

50
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: we know, we know that. At the same time, it's

51
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: going to come down to who plays their best football

52
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday, doesn't money, It doesn't matter if you've been

53
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: there one time or ten times. If you don't go

54
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: out there and play well, then I mean you're probably

55
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna lose. So this is going to coming down the

56
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: great execution on Sunday. Game plans pretty much in at

57
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: this point pretty much. I mean, you still make a

58
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: stubble a while before the game so you can make

59
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: adjustments and everything. So I just want to make sure

60
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: you had the best plays available when you go out

61
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: there and play. I gotta imagine that focus is not

62
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: a problem when you look at the game that you

63
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: face next Sunday. But at this point, you know, as

64
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: you said, you've got that bye weekend between the game.

65
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: Plans pretty much in how do you make sure your

66
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: team concentrates on the task at hand during practice sessions

67
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: when you're in Atlanta, I'll just continue to study up

68
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: on the game plan and continue to watch film, trying

69
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: to study your opponent even more. You just don't want

70
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: to have any regrets. So whatever you have to do

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: to play your basketball game, you gotta do that. Studying

72
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: your opponent might be a little frightening, because man, that

73
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: defense in front is good. No, they're really good, you know,

74
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, Fowler, Brockers, Sue, All those guys are very disruptive.

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean they're good in the secondary. They're fast linebackers

76
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: as well, so I mean they make you try and

77
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: drive the ball down the field. They create a lot

78
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: of turnovers, and you definitely don't want to get into

79
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: too many just straight up passive situations on those guys

80
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: because that's when they te off. So it's gonna take

81
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: our best effort to play well against you. I think

82
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: one of the strengths of your game is your ability

83
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: to help protect Tom Brady. You chip really well, you

84
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: pick up blitz is really well. I would assume, given

85
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the strengths of this team, that becomes an even greater

86
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: in need for your club. I mean it's important each

87
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: and every week. Each each defense in this league has

88
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: their own special group of guys, whether it's the linebackers, blitzener,

89
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: or a defensive linement. So it takes everybody getting the

90
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: passes out on time, chipping, whatever it is. It just

91
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: it's a team game. All you. Last night at the

92
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Celtics game, if you wondered whether the city of Boston

93
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: was behind you guys, you sure found out. Huh. Yeah,

94
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty sweet. I mean, we had the greatest fans

95
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: in the league. They're always tuned in, always always loud,

96
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: always supporting us. I mean there's a bunch of them

97
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: outside already getting ready for the syndaf rally. So it's

98
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: always a pretty special feeling to get to interact with

99
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: the fans because I mean, they make this season special.

100
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I wish you nothing but the best. Congratulations again, and

101
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: it's been fun talking to you all year. Thanks, thank you,

102
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: appreciate it. James White joining us here on sports radio
