Play from 2:39[2:39]" Are there certain guys either currently teammate to teammate you've had in the past that are shall we say. Notable and obvious in their game day preparation me to come to mind Bryan Cox against the little crazy and he got ready and some of the all the Patriots used to say on game day when John -- walked into the locker room. Guys who have the lockers on -- saw a two -- down on either side would take their stuff and go somewhere else did you run into anybody like that you can rip my."

Play from 3:20[3:20]" And what we're just looking over the numbers you you guys against the bills in the one that jumps out as. Since 1 year thirteen and one against Buffalo nine in a row do you think do they know that the guys are lining up against even though a number of them haven't been there for those fourteen games. And same and you guys I mean do they know that you have owned them."

Play from 3:42[3:42]" I mean I'm sure it did about media is trying to make a deal of respect. You know -- that they're -- And their rally point or are for Dick Jauron -- his -- ball well."

Play from 3:52[3:52]" Well I know you guys -- coach to say it really doesn't matter nine in a row and it has no bearing on Sunday's game and you know what probably doesn't. But you're certainly aware of the number doesn't it in some way some small way have some kind of impact in in in your confidence in May -- their lack of when Sunday rolls around Mike."

Play from 4:08[4:08]" Well that's big. It really it doesn't bode well when you least things go wrong that they give to parents it they are -- go again. You know at least two weeks. -- be -- against. -- Michigan college and then someone go batters in -- year like that here we go get a strike. You can't get over it you know you got a better team more allegedly got a better team. I'll buy you know our guard slips and -- they -- a bomb some but I suspect are here we go out it can't figured out."

Play from 4:42[4:42]" You know when you look at the -- season they've they've been kind of -- so the first four very good the last or not so good at all when you watch the film and I don't know what you've seen all all eight games Mike.

Play from 5:01[5:01]" different just been turnovers the members when they get on the when they don't get the ball away -- they're pretty successful head. You know -- they went there when they turned a ball over don't get -- Are there they have at its best just like mostly it is leader for our sport we don't. We don't stop it order red zone read. We don't score red -- so we have talked."

Play from 5:25[5:25]" Well they've had eleven turnovers in the last four games -- Goodwin leading to thirty points. Does bill showed that film of of those turnovers and those failures and and if so is there a pattern there and something you guys can exploit on Sunday."

Play from 5:39[5:39]" I mean I think it you know we we see it we watched you know we watched not spell so we understand where. Nowhere to turn over -- just get a lot of guys the ball at its -- read the quarterback. And you know not try to go. Out of your ideal position to make or just take pleasure most --"

Play from 6:00[6:00]" obviously but I good teams great teams championship teams Mike how does this compare after eight games halfway point. The championship seasons is there any common denominator where you could say. If things feel pretty good here we could do it this year."

Play from 6:18[6:18]" Not that -- players you don't really get into. No the compared contracts. Models. All that -- people you know or popular would be really a -- the middle that he's that it just like everybody you know was not. Personally. Injuries they're where they're buying what -- bullet. And then a bit together with the team and if you're worried about. -- reactor response or a well coached in this area so. Miller moved up play to worry about -- daily that don't sit there there how are we there to there are out courier. All of our."

Play from 6:56[6:56]" What has that happened over the next obviously injuries are big factor. But do you feel like oh what makes you guys so good and I in the second half and down the stretch we know about Belichick and your record in in December. -- what what leads to that what makes you so good down the stretch."

Play from 7:14[7:14]" Well I think it. You know a lot of times you can learn from learn from your mistakes and not make a mistake twice. What what are you played at certain opponent. -- with a lot of it's a condition I'll throughout this season. That we. Aren't what Barrett I think I think -- play well so I think a lot of those same dog -- Norris or did so well -- beat that he did not work in receiving some sort of quick and."

Play from 7:47[7:47]" Mike Vrabel when the bills have success offensively. I guess the appointment would be -- lynch and Edwards but what do they do successfully specifically but when they haven't going."

Play from 7:57[7:57]" I mean that big lynched -- they got two good backs you know that that are able to you know annihilated. You know they run it well but but there it would get the -- alleged error Edwards is -- buy them on a checked out you know I looked to those guys. You know when rain starts breakdown and and those guys here. -- adjusted -- catching the ball there erotic and that if not more it is no longer. -- session then do round. So are you to be important for us know what those guys are and aren't evident in groundout lining a lot of that still Bears like -- else."

Play from 8:33[8:33]" They just like I know that a Bill Belichick coached team it's coach not the if to say that it doesn't matter the 19 in a row I didn't know that your also coaches say. All that matters is this next game but I also know that you guys look at the schedule and -- where it's the bills the Jets and the Dolphins somebody from the NFL network said yesterday if the Patriots run the table all of those three games builds Jets and Dolphins there's no way they win that division can depart from the coaching that -- instilled a new and and look at these next three games and importance of the three divisional opponents week to week to week."

Play from 9:03[9:03]" they understand that it's it's pretty significant. -- you know not taking anything away from Buffalo we we know that. Well you know pretty significant them and we haven't played Buffalo yet and it has to be our first meeting in India. Those guys continue to play. Hard. In our division so all. I think you got your start were -- and play well salmon and hope to win and and and I understand that he's still got some more division game left."

Play from 9:37[9:37]" In my final question Torre went with with your head coach this coaching staff and coaches on the field like -- and Bruschi. Do you feel better prepared when you play a team a second time you feel like you have more an advantage you'd done it once this year and I know they have that same advantage. But you -- you guys take advantage of that more the second time you see the."

Play from 9:56[9:56]" Well I mean I think that roared like distinct -- you know if you give. You know you give -- a couple cracks in the team. He's going to do what do a great job no apparent -- not that he wait for after the game I mean our coaches are doing a great job in between series and halftime and you know certainly -- attitude. -- import I don't fielder went into changing so. The more people we have looked at the morons we have our better."
