Postgame – New England Patriots

C/G Michael Deiter

(I want to go over what the Jaguars jersey situation is. I saw Jesse Davis wearing it today.) – “(Florida) Panthers.”

(My bad. Wrong animal. What’s that all about and what was it like to get out there and play and could be contribute to a win today?) – “We’re both just hockey fans and it’s late December. It’s normally also hockey season, so we figured we would get a little festive and support our pro hockey team. And it felt good to get out there and play a little football. It’s been awhile.”

(What has the last 12 months been like for you? Last year obviously you had a much bigger role with the team and you needed to wait for your opportunity and today you took advantage of it.) – “It’s been a process. It’s just taking it day by day and wherever I am asked to play or whatever role I’m given, just making sure I’m doing it to the best of my ability and making sure it’s helping this team be as good as it can be and whatever role that is, I got to be ready to do it at a good level.”

(How critical was it for the line to establish both run and pass protection, but specifically with the run with RB Salvon Ahmed and RB Matt Breida getting over 200 yards combined?) – “It was crucial. That defense, it’s a defense that you want to attack on the ground, which will only make throwing the ball easier, make it more effective. And to get those guys running like that. We didn’t have to be perfect as an o-line and they didn’t have to be perfect as backs, but they did a heck of a job and we just had to fit guys up and give them a chance to make plays and they did.”

(Can you put into words the magnitude of this game and what it means for this team going toward the playoff run?) – “It’s another game when you think about it, but not really. It’s a division game versus the Patriots and that’s always a rival game and it’s on our way to where we want to go postseason, so it’s a big game. We had to go out there and make plays and take it one play at a time and we did, and that’s what we have to do this week in practice and going forward.”
