Play from 7:41[7:41] ..." gotta I gotta go to work -- thanks. Wes Welker Logan Mankins. And Watson are Patriots Friday guys guys they got it if if we don't let them go at this moment we may"...

Play from 0:00[0:00]" In Mankins joins this is he does every Patriots try to get to see if he -- is going into the locker room strong enough that any values Michael's turn. Any knucklehead that the coaches decide to bring in here would have a hard time being a knucklehead here. I don't. I like to think it is good. You don't know that guy's personality -- I don't know him and also I couldn't comment on him both. If someone's going to be a pain in the answer going to be paying so I don't know if you can totally stuff who I think -- buy into woods your team is preaching and what you want to do."

Play from 0:32[0:32]" And it's and it's a matter of buying and as opposed to fuel or Matt Light or Richard Seymour Tedy Bruschi going up to a guy saying. Hey you need to calm down a."

Play from 0:46[0:46]" They're no matter what you say don't go either way you do do and it's up to him if he really wants this. Be a part of the team and do with the team is doing so if he just wants to be lazy and work with the team -- Go against the rules of the team it's totally -- from the player."

Play from 1:04[1:04]" Let's go back to the play because on my television screen you've seemed more frustrated than anybody else. Fourth than a yard and you guys convert. Your coach is calling timeout as he's running down the field due course don't know that nobody here you're running the play. And you seemed a little frustrated by it was your frustration that the timeout was called her what was that you're I saw you pound."

Play from 1:25[1:25]" In the turf there yeah and they say we called him out and of course I knew we got the first down in. I was on amateur because I was disappointed that we've run the play and then. We had called time out before the plea agreement but bill he saw something that you didn't likes you he called timeout and it's us as players we're were always frustrated if we. Accomplished on that are made it happen and then he gets taken decks of we're frustrated but that's how it goes sometimes -- the Ravens today and it worked for -- and then this year we did is it worked against."

Play from 2:00[2:00]" What's it like out there generally with smokers here through both finances. When you have a fourth and one situation and you see all the time quarterbacks that -- over the sidelines. -- can keep the kicking team we're gonna go for. Is that just the quarterback saying let's go forward or you guys as the receivers and offensive linemen stand limitless as we we can we can do this let's go port."

Play from 2:22[2:22]" Most of the time yeah we think we can always get a yard and the other night it was the same way in the especially against the Colts do you feel you can always get a yard inside because there. The very they're a lot later than every other decent delay in their lead that we are so we feel we could always pushing for a yard and most the time we're going to get their yards sometimes it doesn't happen that move that that was Alou. Racing west."

Play from 2:46[2:46]" maybe -- slow -- you know and most situations you know obviously. You know the coaches him. You know made me calls that that they do best interest of the team and and things like the -- heroes one you know stay on the field and and finish drives and and finished with those announcement that the thirteen years or what happened. Yeah I mean it's that you lose a better some that are work that essence of that luck but. You know no you know fund that razor -- all the me in my sleep I I don't know I don't know what happens but on the -- on rare occasion and it catches me like federal -- understand."

Play from 3:25[3:25]" That Watson at -- yeah. They go to help us out -- how the the actual game plan work on on Sunday night because. You go to the line of scrimmage. If the safeties were way off. You'd run a lot of those draw plays a lot of those little delay running plays that worked great for if -- safeties were up by guess you'd throw it. Ben was was that the sort of call it Matt was actually make and at the line of scrimmage based on what he saw the safeties don't. -- that."

Play from 3:53[3:53]" That rookie. I don't know. Along with god god. Welcome -- there aren't. Take wanted to. Definitely you know we go to a lot of games defensive. The penalties excuses that you never knows exactly what. What they're going to give an idea and as you saw on that game there's like technical momentum linemen not premeditated double. Lamenting that of the stuff in -- In his second you gotta make those decisions so. A lot of please. You know where a lot of placed things were -- in the music."

Play from 4:26[4:26]" Involvement. -- talked earlier about the Colts and now on the defensive line their little smaller lot smaller than you guys is any similarities between the Colts. And the bills the bills -- one of those. Quick fast defenses are -- little smaller too."

Play from 4:42[4:42]" No they got they got some beef up front they added stress this year he's very good player and Kyle Williams is playing very well this year he's improved a great deal. They got a good defensive ends but their linebackers are. Similar to the Colts for their fans they get downhill they run sideline to sideline. So they do a lot of the same things that they had a lot more media room."

Play from 5:04[5:04]" That's the sort of game plan and and you know can tell us all the -- run in order I have to -- to I expected to. What you had the ability kind of change things up that you need to they've got they've got some injuries on defense. It looks like there have a little trouble put pressure on the quarterback right now just based on personnel public input on the field. Do you expect that their game plan changes because of some of their their personnel issues right now west."

Play from 5:29[5:29]" You know it to me I don't really see that happening all that much maybe few situations. Good. For the most part you know they all season neighboring and what they've -- and you know -- or like the Colson in all respects a you know they they wrote their run and they run it well and you know the over a few wrinkles you know when there for us Hampshire but. For the most part you know we're looking to see. You know same things we've been seen on film but it -- always be ready for for any thing else they may bring out."

Play from 6:00[6:00]" For guys who have been through this before and I'm sure all of you have at this point your careers. Game on Sunday game on Thursday what's that week like and what's aftereffects. Lack of playing two games so quickly so close together. Then we'll let you start I'll start stuff -- don't be -- but it's something that you know every team has to go through a little bit. You know Cleveland play last night and they shall we can. It was a song you do with the way the league is now. They're supposed to. Teams are getting nationally. Though the game you gotta do -- quick turnaround sometimes on the flip side. If you can get tested -- get a couple -- days on the backside zone system you know risk and reward but you know as soon as we get done with this game it'll be on to the next one."

Play from 6:44[6:44]" Is there ever any. And I know your concentration is on the bill but because of the compressed schedule do you do work. For the next game as well Logan or is it strictly bills here. Strictly bills the coaches they might do little game -- and when they have some extra time but as players it's just strictly bills this week but over a kind of lucky because the Jets we known so well we've played twice a year ago. We are looking at ethnic that. Come into a short week we're gonna get a team we've played quite have it."

Play from 7:12[7:12]" Really -- nose in it -- other and Terrell -- and amount okay I'll wait and I have to say my ex and I have a great question the would have saved for next week we're going to -- and do. Tell them write it down but -- completely midwest is locked and if you would -- definitely out of action on my question that's how -- And a similar number of dove and data thank you guys that is -- even without the last gotta go gotta I gotta go to work -- thanks. Wes Welker Logan Mankins. And Watson are Patriots Friday guys guys they got it if if we don't let them go at this moment we may not score two extra touchdowns this. Far."
