[0:00]" LT. Yeah. How important is that for you guys to be home but this game. What's important -- the next home game and is obviously important because. We feel more comfortable playing at home when you know we need to win so. You know we get we get we don't have to travel which is a good thing. And -- at home is always. From my history had been go for a actors have been -- kind of -- situation last couple years we get off to these slow start. And the fight and claw your way back before things really well what it. Is it kind of frustrating right now yeah they get flustered because you don't like the start that way. We were rabid but it make it difficult more difficult. And gonna fight your way back. But. You know I think this team has prepared him and a lot of people won't into the to fight back and get where we want to be. If you think back to --"

[1:01]" Year's game collectors beaten rather and and how would you guys got back even November. It yet but -- I'm sure frustrating to have to fight like that but you know that you have the capability to do that. But that kind of book sustain you a little bit as you see yourself now at two and three and knowing that. It's -- around."

[1:22]" Yeah it does help we'll cut you don't you don't have. The ability and is -- your position to do it. You know I just. Brought it it's all about I think gone out and making sure we prepare and but here. We really. I understand what do what they had a book that everybody that plays Duke. It's going to trade up. You know like elite team in the National Football League -- with the Patriot everybody who played the Patriots. I -- and they only eighteen and sometimes nothing. You know you get caught up in and and and not know on how teams going to come out and play all our."

[2:03]" The status as as the only team obviously you guys have lost in the league play errant Shawne Merriman the Patriots obviously a lot Tom Brady. Does that bring both these guys back to the pack a little bit -- that that change the dynamic of this game somewhat."

[2:20]" Our. You know I think -- or -- where you know people may look at the talent -- Obviously take you down normal. The island poll old across the board -- fourteen of concern. But. You know I think it -- opportune vocal guy -- just stepping -- you know office it is tough to replace -- like Shawne Merriman and also Tom Brady. You know but offense found somebody has to step up and and and you know take their place than you won't replace the bulk that you can get some production out of."

[2:54]" Obviously you don't have to go head to head with someone like Brady but you're looking at what has been a pretty good defense over the last couple years. They had not so good game against the Dolphins they came back strong against the 49ers. What do you see right now in the Patriots defense that you really have to pay attention to."

[3:12]" Well I think their -- there prodded -- what controls they're there'd be open to me they got you know. One of the best Spartan football. When you look up the ball Walpole Seymour. Warren. Were able Thomas. You look at them -- I've been. You know they're they're good as anybody in the league and so bad that are concerned when -- when I look at thirteen upping. Them god is -- make that these phantom goal. And and when they get out there are pretty tough to. -- bar owner B."

[3:48]" LP. How how how my big -- problem hindering you. -- it rather."

[3:55]" Well on the run you unique unique. You know pretty much everything that you have. As far as they're concerned. He told these ought to comic stuff hamstring. Obviously when you are one part of it as a -- you know it hurt should. But. You know football and evolved without -- plan. You know there's no way that I can expect that to not ever be heard. But you know I've got a plate to ruin it and that's just part of Alabama football player."

[4:28]" Have you that didn't you play the Patriots -- up another football game we've got a port. With all the things that have been bad and in some of the bad blood and that both -- you batted in the lead over the that would be."

[4:39]" Not the fame game you know just another football gang. No we can make you bigger than what it is that the -- game long home schedule and have to do the Patriots and so are that the way we're going to approach it. And you know we don't know we can't talk about anything really intruding in in the past because. We haven't beat them you know so. -- it's just another game."

[5:03]" What are your memories that he AFC championship game from last year."

[5:09]" Tough ball game. You know the Patriots. For what they've made more plays than we made obviously. -- for -- you know they did a great job in the red -- keep enough and scorn. And they score when they needed to score."

[5:28]" What about personally yeah."

[5:31]" There's nothing really to remember about it. You know let them play much. The only thing you know that's the only thing to remember all -- really took would get."

You know what they parted not and another big here it is he he obviously. Have. How tolerant. Know -- pain that he can he can stand up who wouldn't and he can play through."

[6:15]" They've got everything you want more targeted to the -- or practice. -- after the game back at the close game and but street sense. That part wicket Kolb you know Richard Seymour dirty you think that you've got to give -- the Patriots they're they're being."

[6:32]" You know we're that we don't feel. Anything more left above the Patriots that we do about a lot of his they have continued that we play on. On a consistent basis you learn things about but team when you play him a bunch -- who we play them a bunch. You know Murton so I'm nick felt after their game you know doesn't mean he Phil I Richard as a dirty player all the time. You know maybe some things happen when he felt like there but no we don't fill him he would also like they're dirty -- You know purple ball where we we believe god and all season all the comments. You know there is no love lost at all you know it's not like we don't -- how tall we you know. You know but during the game when -- we've got to play -- give them. We want to kick their budget like they want to kick out but."
