Michael what is it about the Belichick's system that he can move players around and im really not lose that much it is no coincidence the Miami Dolphins have gone through this year with very few injuries in the Patriots have had a lot. In yet you guys have hung together. Well I mean I think Derek.
We do a good job of just. Understand what we have to do. I think -- well coach I think it I think a lot of us. That player that -- target our our burst island. You know complaint or one position I think that they look at those guys -- and know that they're going to need to do more than once thanks so. I think that -- that by design you know I think you don't you don't want to have a much injury you don't have a lot of guys -- You know sooner or later going to happen.
Mike out of his team handled the change in routine with the with Thursday off for Christmas.
Well Matt -- weird to predict the work. You know come back with a -- short you know. Quick day off on Monday cornerback on Tuesday awards that go -- Bigger -- there there -- upbeat tempo was good and and not. There are you come back today and you kind of just. You try to refocus on. Oh really what we had to do it and really worry about possible.
Mike we were talking about Sunday's game a few minutes ago and obviously you guys play -- 1 o'clock 4 o'clock is Jets Dolphins now. Let's play a little game here you guys win on Sunday it's for fifteen the locker room opens we all come charging in there. What can we possibly askew that would make any sense given that your entire season. Hinges on what happens between 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock.
I mean that's great that you guys have big bucks come up with a question not all but my point is your plate again I don't know that it did it you maybe there'd be some may happen again that. That would be -- were the other then. You know what what the outcome for -- days of the amateur.
That's thats my whole point I they should disclose the locker what you guys go home and -- on the players you would probably have a great time with but. To meet the real story is at 7 o'clock when you guys touchdown we fly in Providence the real story is when you guys went back in -- way. It's going to be a very weird day plus all going and make all the pats is that the root for the Jets which really makes it crazy.
I'm I think your response that you should have just stayed at home court. And had a big homecoming party or has gone on Sunday -- I don't know maybe other people you know the report released over a stretch that -- matchup.
right. How does out of Buffalo look on film.
Then got a minute incidents. Minister that tough resilient team I mean if the team that -- really without playoff contention and went out there at Denver was down ten often. Com. Is saying hang around -- fight just. In other got here round the fourth quarter it's. Division game. You know you can a look at. You know landed in Arizona. Maybe -- roach stated and playing late in the game I would score the way it was that I promise you hit the ball float. Event they're well coached and they're they're just once on the top. Physically and mentally so. It would restate that the that you look at how they got a great backs great young back who runs hard stuff to tackle. -- good good receivers good skilled players were and has been an Evans Parrish. And read -- their -- well so allfirst whether you know they look pretty good.
Mike is not a week that goes by that you don't hear news about internal squabbles of things going on with other teams that says -- here continue Romo actually Quinn can you speak for a minute about the philosophy that the Patriots have that what goes on in the Patriots stays with the Patriots. Mike how does that benefit that the team when you guys trying to keep control over everything -- on them.
I -- respected there's. You know a lot of teams which I do it their way -- I don't think -- Anybody outside our locker room or outside our our offices are stadium. Can really help put. When -- what I can do that other people that are in the work. For the time and and poker focusing on -- try to win and so if other people other outside. Parties. Limited in America -- the -- and helped out -- so there's really -- them to look pretty get a lot of information.
Like always he wasn't Perot junior and -- of -- back into. Into the routine.
Well. They've made certainly made it look easy I don't know how he is it actually was but. It's 22 guys that are really good professional both play the system understand. You know what were -- and and what we try to do each week in. That it probably is merely didn't think they're going to play this marcher at this part of parole this quick but. In those guys. Came may have credit couple days in the -- we took off for -- west coast and they've they've been able to. The American helped start and make placed.
on the back of the room now if you is that it is that a probably you rather be back over the other side -- today.
Are like it's not like him back there we. It is -- his -- young linebackers so the more guys month more direction we get. You know -- to back the better.
How good obviously guys aren't immune to radio and TV and newspapers and you know guys know the situation. -- only get those younger guys in particular took the focus on what you have to accomplish of 1 o'clock.
Well I don't think there I mean. There's little doubt that must focus I mean I think that the focus is just some Buffalo mean you can't really. The you wouldn't let me garden get a better athlete because they're just you know slap -- out there you proved to get hurt you can get embarrassed and you know every -- Every time he played -- velvet carpet and our coach sincere another player concede. So you know regardless of what your plans for you want their product out there to be in a representative of that yourself a goal and interviewed team.
As for the most most. The players though appreciate the fans -- but you're you do think like that you think oh my in the everyone rallies you see that are just triple my old feet missed that tackle so it's amazing you don't new you don't don't notice the 60000 people stands but. Here's an old man that that's going to make the circuit you know.
Yeah I gonna go to mark Bellman at a lot of -- this army air coaches included better. You know playing a practice that apparently offered jobs next -- out there it's. You know that you know something else initiated in some -- the personnel guys from other coach and no you whatever prodigious so good -- that you can't.

No root for the Celtics are all Christmas justice them whereas a lot of people hysteria but. I -- world -- but I think that they're probably aware of what we play games or would want someone had a good game ever. And I watched the highlights just the same as we we do what we understand. But there's been successor around here in. And certainly try to stay. -- journalist with what the other aspect a doormat -- all. You know -- different situation. In the sports that we play but I think that we all share the same thing with family in. And -- in kids in the -- and you know different cities in travel and so I think there -- a lot of similarities that at all players share.
