Postgame – New England

RB Kenyan Drake (transcribed by Anthony Gutierrez)

(Do you want to be here?) – “Of course I want to be here. This is my fourth year, and I’ve got a good relationship with everybody from the people that sweep up and mop up behind us, to the people in the kitchen staff, the coaching staff, the media relations people – everybody. So obviously, everything being equal, I would want to be here.”

(What does this team need to do to get out of this funk?) – “We need to get back to the basics. When you barely have 100 yards total offense at the end of the game, I don’t see you winning many games in that aspect. So we have to just play better ball, as cliché as it sounds or as simple of a fix as it sounds. You have to go out there and make sure on every single down you are playing good football – making sure you have your hands where they need to be, making sure you have your eyes where they need to be, because we can’t beat ourselves at this point. When we get behind the chains, we obviously have trouble moving the bal. So we have to continue to build confidence move the ball, get the ball in manageable situations and play ball from there.

(Obviously you didn’t come into the game until the second series, late on a third down. Are you comfortable being a third-down back?) – “I’m comfortable putting this team in a position to win games. I haven’t started legitimately since like high school. So regardless what the situation that the coaches see fit for the team to be at their best, I have to go out there and put myself in the best position to maximize the opportunity to help this team win games. So, my touches come when they come and when I get on the field, I put everything together from a culmination of this week, and that is what I’m going to continue to do.”
