1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Joining me now is Patriot running back Rex Burkhead. And

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: first of all, how is your holiday? It was great?

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: It was great. Got a spending with the family. Little

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: man got a bunch of toys from the grandparents, so

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: he had a good time. Remember what it's like when

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: you were a little right those days. Absolutely always got

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: a football jersey. It seemed like every year. So I

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: had the Barry Sanders, Ladani and Thomlinson Samms Smith. So

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: what'd you get your son? Oh, we got him a

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: bunch of toys. I mean he's a little over one now,

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, he loves them. Was last week's game

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: which was a great game for you? Was that a

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: teaching moment for you when you end up fumbling the

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: ball one play and able to put that behind you

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: and come up with a great day? Yeah? Was that like, yeah,

16
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: you have to you have to put it behind you.

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Understand there's a lot more football left to be played

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: in the game and a lot more ways you can

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: impact that game and a positive and it really make

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: plays to help turning the game around. And so that's

21
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: what I was trying to do. What a role that

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: was on offense, special teams, just do that to the

23
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: best of my ability and help the team win. Talk

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: about the touchdown running that you had, because it looked

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: like you were stopped. Okay, it looks like they had

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: in the backfield. All of a sudden you have a

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: breakaway from that going to seal the deal. What was

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: that play like? Yeah? So route the battus all e Rob,

29
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, with the big old kick out and a

30
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: big guy coming from the inside and uh, you know,

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: a little fight or fly response. I was like, oh man,

32
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I gotta get away from you, and so just fortunate, um,

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, to bounce off film and another guy and

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: getting the end zone. That means you get powerful legs. Hey,

35
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: keep those legs moving right. Yeah, got to my dad

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: always said charn churn churn growing up as a running back.

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: So I tried to take that to the field. How

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: is the running game approved as a season has going

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: along them? Yeah, tremendously offensive. Line starts up with them

40
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: up front, you know, really being physical from the get go,

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: not only last week but the week before as well.

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: And it all starts with them, and you know, e

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Rob at fullback doing great things a ton. I mean,

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: it just shows the selflessness he has to come over

45
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: from the defensive side of the ball. I don't know

46
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: if he's ever played offense in the past. Um to

47
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: come in fill a hole that we need, a role

48
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: that we need, Um, you know, just shows the character

49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: he has. Quote said last week was a playoff game.

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: This week as well, a team the Miami Dolfins, even

51
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: though you've they've struggled, even though you smoked them the

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: first time around, this too, there is a playoff game.

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Is absolutely absolutely we know what's riding on the game. Um.

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: You know Miami, they've played been playing well recently. UM,

55
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: we know it's gonna be a dog fight. We know

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: they're gonna come in hungry, and we're gonna be ready

57
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: to play. Um we know you know this. UM you

58
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: know ultimately if we win this game, then that gives

59
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: us a bye right in the playoffs. And so we

60
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: know that's huge, um, and we gotta be ready to

00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,680
