1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Joining us now here at Gillette Stadium, New England. Patriots

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: running back James White, Hello, James, how are you doing good?

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Are you? I'm all right? Thank you? How long does

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: it take to get over something like that? UM, I

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: mean it's a tough loss. We obviously didn't play the

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: way we wanted to. Um. They beat us in all

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: three phases of the game. Just something we gotta learn from.

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: We haven't been playing very well in the road this year,

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: so definitely need to fix that. You know what goes

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: into that because it was it two years ago you

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: guys were eight no on the road, and you know,

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: you guys were fantastic last year, had another really good record.

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: What goes into that, Um, just starting fast and playing

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: for sixty minutes. When people are playing on their home field,

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: they want to start fast and you know, they'd like

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: to ride their crowd noise and all that stuff for

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. So we gotta start fast

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: and just play with INTENSEI for four quarters and we

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: just definitely didn't do that. Speaking of the crowd, it

20
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: seemed like there was a lot of Patriots fans actually

21
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: down there in Nashville. There was UM, obviously we didn't

22
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: use that. You know, um, just gotta play better. That's

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: a Dion Lewis, former teammate of yours, after the game,

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: said some things pretty critical of the organization. One of

25
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: the things he said was, I know that if you

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: get physical with them, they'll fold. He's just he's just

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: fired up, man, that's all. Man. He's excited to play

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: the game from facing your former team. He's just fired

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: up and ready to go. That's that's pretty much all. No.

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, every week there's a chance you're

31
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: gonna face a former teammate. You know, that's just how

32
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: the league works. But to see Lewis and Logan Ryan

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Butler all on the other side, what was

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: that like? It's different different seeing those guys on the

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: other side. Uh, those guys play well, we didn't. Um,

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: we just gotta get better, man. We have so much

37
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: more potential of what we've shown and just got to

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: find a way to you know, live up to that potential.

39
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: Did you feel that they were doing something different from

40
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: a past rush scheme that you hadn't seen from them

41
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: because they were putting a lot of pressure on your quarterback.

42
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: He did some different things, but nothing that we couldn't handle.

43
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Just got to do a better job block and include myself,

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: and it's gotta be better. Be more is a cool,

45
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: better communication and just you know, just giving Tom more time.

46
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: What's your honest thought of pass attempts to Tom Brady

47
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: and him catching and running with the ball Because I'm

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: good with it. Yeah, I'm all set with it. I

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: don't I don't know how you feel. Oh, come on

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: it over a yard line. So when you guys are

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: in the huddle in that play call, you're like, yeah,

52
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: this will work, like this is this is gonna happen.

53
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: Monster gard It happened. I mean, let's take the slowest

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: guy on the field and throw him the football. Right,

55
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: there's some logic there, but it escapes me not expecting it.

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: He gallant, good point, that's true. Now do you think

57
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: that had something to do with the Titans doing the

58
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: exact same thing with a quarterback who can run after

59
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: he catches it. By the way, but overall offensively again,

60
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned the slow start, really slow start for the defense.

61
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: I'll start for the offense. But anything you guys could

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: take away from from the performance yesterday obviously not not

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: a ton of points. Something you guys aren't really used

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: to doing. Um. I mean, not much to take away,

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: but just being better, being more physical, better communication, just

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: playing tougher. We just didn't do anything well. Pretty quiet

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: playing ride home, it's pretty quiet. Um. Obviously, Like I said,

68
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: we didn't play to the way we wanted to play

69
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: that football game from start to finish. It was bad

70
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: from the start and didn't get any better from Is

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: it a bad time for the bye week or is

72
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: it a good time for the bye week? Good and bad?

73
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: I guess yea. The guys rested up, We got some

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: guys banged up. Just take care of our bodies and

75
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, come back ready to go facing the division opponent.

76
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: And I mean that'd be another tough game on the road,

77
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: and just gotta prove we can play better on the road.

78
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: We knew that Trent Brown missed some practice time last

79
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: week because he was sick. He was kind of in

80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: and out of the game yesterday. I assume for the

81
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: same thing. Is there some bug going through the room

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: right now? Man, I'm not sure you're not sick. Yeah,

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm fine. Yeah, I'm not really sure. Flu

84
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: season knows, guys, you know, keep those germs away. Now,

85
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm curious. You grew up in Florida, right, You went

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: to high school in Florida, and then you ended up

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: going to college or Wisconsin where it's freezing. So what

88
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: was that first experience? Because now I was starting to

89
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: get cold here, and you guys really play well when

90
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: it's cold. But what was that shot? Going from a

91
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: high school kid in Florida or I can't imagine what

92
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: the coldest game was for you there to Wisconsin and

93
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: some of those Big ten games, it's a little bit different. Um.

94
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a guy that's pretty much hot all

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: the time, so the cold doesn't bother me too much. Obviously,

96
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm letting used to all the snow and traveling and

97
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: snow and all that stuff. But after the first year,

98
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I was fine after that. Don't you think that as

99
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: an offensive player you have the advantage when it's crummy

100
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: anyway you know where you're going. They got to try

101
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: to react to you. I mean, both both sides of

102
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: football have to deal with I don't think either side

103
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: has an advantage. Just got to deal with the elements

104
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: and play football. Just can't let it distract you. How

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: is it that some of these teams, because what I

106
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: don't understand is you'll have teams that play in domes,

107
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: but they have guys that played college like outside, all right,

108
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: and yet they sort of adapted their team, Like like

109
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Atlanta are these dome teams even though

110
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, Drew Breese played at Purdue or like all

111
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: these guys like they played outside, Matt Ryan played at BC,

112
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and yet now they're dome teams. Like you just sort

113
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: of take on the culture, I guess if you're NFL

114
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: T yeah, pretty much. I mean, but you just gotta

115
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: deal with the elements. Even though you don't get to

116
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: play in the the year round or whatnot. You're into that

117
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: one day. You just got to deal with it for

118
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: that day and be prepared for it. And you know

119
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: that playing here and playing for Bill Belichick, chances are

120
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be practicing out when it's crumbing. You won't

121
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: be in that dome out back here very often. Yeah, definitely,

122
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: And practice is gonna be worse because you don't have

123
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: the heated benches and all the other stuff. So, I mean,

124
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: you're cold for two and a half hours straight with

125
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: so I mean, I think it prepared us pretty well though,

126
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: now you got Starry Michelle back after he missed some time,

127
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't have as many carriers as normally would maybe the

128
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: way the game was dictated that, but how how do

129
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: you think he performed coming back? I mean, I think

130
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: he performed well. I said. Obviously he didn't get that

131
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: many opportunities and we were down, so that kind of

132
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: halted us from you know, you gonna run game that much.

133
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: But he's the guy who's been working hard to you know,

134
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: get back as fast as possible, and I mean he'll

135
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 1: continue to help us, and I mean he'll get healthier

136
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: with the bye week and stuff too. So that do

137
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: you think that there could be some benefit to throwing

138
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: the ball to Sony once in a while and running

139
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: you once in a while so that they're not thinking, oh,

140
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: James is in, they're gonna throw the ball, Sony is in,

141
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball. Now we do it, uh

142
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: said coaching Dan is a great job of, you know,

143
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: dial up the game playing and I mean yesterday obviously

144
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: we were down a bunch, so I mean that kind

145
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: of messes things up. So I mean he does a

146
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: great job of putting putting us in roles where you

147
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: can succeed and he'll dial up the right place for us. Now,

148
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: you got any plans for the bye week, you're gonna

149
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: get out of here for a little bit or what

150
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: are you doing. I'll try to well figure out something

151
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: by the end of the week. Of course, some of

152
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: that may be dependent on gonna say maybe not as

153
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: many as you thought out could be a factor there

154
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: as well. I do want to before we let you go,

155
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about leadership because you're one

156
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: of the captains on this team. When teams are struggling,

157
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: it's when leadership is the most important. What does this

158
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: group of captains need to do to help get this

159
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: team over this hump here? I mean, just keep everybody

160
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: focused and to stay together. Even though we didn't play

161
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: very well, we're still a tight knit group, play for

162
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: one another. Just know that we can be better. Everybody.

163
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Just take a look at the mirror and just look

164
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: at yourself and see what each and every one of

165
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: us can do better as a player, as a teammate,

166
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: as a team as a whole. And I said, get
