RB Kenyan Drake

(So you are supposed to have the bye week and come back refreshed. Was the mission accomplished?) – “Yeah, I was able to go to the crib, see some family, chill with everybody, so from an ‘r and r’ (rest and relaxation) standpoint, it definitely served its purpose.”

(What do you get right back into when you get back?) – “I did some working out in Atlanta too. I tried not to get off the ground too much, so now I am just trying to make sure we hit the ground running in terms of a physical standpoint, using that week of rest to kind of hit the ground running in terms of being the most physical team and the most fit team. Especially with the weather we have down here, we feel like we can go and play in any environment.”

(How do you watch football on the bye week?) – “I catch it when I can, honestly. (NBA) 2K came out not too long ago, so that has been my focus as of recently. (laughter)”

(So you don’t even – it is whatever – you get away from it?) – “Yeah, you’ve got to kind of decompress, so that is what I kind of do.”

(This week, lot of turmoil going on over there on that side. I know it doesn’t matter here, but how do you prepare for a team that is going to come in like that?) – “If you don’t show up to play, then you can get beat on any given Sunday by any given team, so that is what this league is built upon. There are people going out there and doing their job to their full capability, so regardless of the record – how I see it, everyone is 0-0 when you start the game and you go out there and try to play to your best capability.”

(This is the longest you have gone without a win in your life isn’t it?) – “From a football standpoint, yeah for sure. Even when I was younger, I had been on some pretty successful teams. That is just kind of how I built myself in terms of how I kind of work and see that my capabilities and the capabilities of those around me, just putting that work in and being successful. When you are in a situation where we are, all you can do is show up to work. So being on those teams from a success standpoint kind of put me in a mindset to where things will handle themselves when you do the things that you need to take care of.”

(What did you feel when you got back on the field today with everybody coming back off the bye week? How did practice feel?) – “Practice felt really crisp. Obviously the weather didn’t really hold up for us on the outside, so we took it to the bubble and we were able to kind of hit the turf and focus on a lot of things in terms of our schematic standpoint, make sure that everybody was healthy. So, we just kind of did a walkthrough and from that point, I guess we will see how everything progresses through the week and get the game plan going from that standpoint.”
