If we need some dirty work to be done, I'll do the dirty work, ... We're going to keep him pretty so he can be back there making the plays.

For me, personally, I'm out there with one arm already, ... Now I lose somebody I depend on. But this is the NFL, and we expect the person that's behind him to be ready.

We lost one of our leaders. To fill that void is hard.

He is the MVP of our team, ... He's what made our team go. He's the stature of what the Patriots are all about. As long as we have him back there, we have a chance to score points. Without Troy, we would not be here.

Our record could easily have been 10-6 instead of 6-10 last year if we had been a little tougher at the end of the games. But I think with his personality, his mentality, his approach to the game, we'll be more alert and have a little bit better mindset when the going gets tough.

I won a Super Bowl with Tebucky Jones,

That's what I expect out of myself. It wasn't fun, but I think I can tolerate a lot of pain. I went out there and made it happen.

Well, Troy's a politician. He's a veteran guy that can make plays and is a natural fit for that position.

You know he has it in him, but you don't know what you're going to get (from a guy making his first NFL start),

We definitely got served a little piece of humble pie. We weren't able to match their intensity. . . . For whatever reason we got beat in every phase of the game.

Turnovers. That's the name of the game. We know that no matter what happens out there on the field if we get a turnover they can't score. . . . But it's always the teams that are plus in the turnover ratio that go to the playoffs and hopefully have a chance to win.

You have to get fed up and that's what we did.

We don't worry about where we finished off last year as a defence because we didn't make the playoffs.

I've lined up next to many safeties. I've lined up next to at least 10 different safeties in my career. It's something that's not coachable. It's just two guys that just kind of get it.

So our focus was to go out there and play our best ball and give this guy as many opportunities as possible to get it right.

Defense wins championships. Our offense does and outstanding job keeping us off the field early. Down towards the end we had to keep battling even when they were moving the ball. But we remained focused and we talked about getting the ball. That's what happened.

The way the Patriots tried to back me into a corner. It didn't show a lot on their part, ... New England tried to squeeze me with a last-minute deal, so we took a risk and went on the market.

A lot of people are counting him out because he's old, but Curt is still Curt, ... We can't fall into that trap. I've been telling my guys this week, 'He's off to a slow start, but don't buy into it.'

There's definitely a sense of urgency. Even though we lost that Pittsburgh game (the season finale), we left feeling pretty good about ourselves. In this league, with all the movement and parity, you have to take advantage of the opportunities you get and not let them slip by. We want to take advantage of having a good team.

It's easy for me as a competitor to say, 'I'm not going to miss any time, ... But right now, I have to be smart about it. ... I'm not worried about Sunday. Right now, I'm just trying to let my hand heal.

I told him this league is about winning and losing. It doesn't matter what your stats are, as long as you're the quarterback on a winning team you're going to be a star.

It's guys like a Tom Brady and numerous other guys that when they come to work every day before an injury happens they prepare like they're the next in line, ... Those are the guys that are successful when they go in, and we expect that out of (Crowell). He has to take every advantage of this opportunity.

I know what it takes to win a championship, ... It doesn't take your leaders to be on the sidelines to get it done. So I made the sacrifice. ... I'm at the point in my career where opportunities are getting slim.

In practice there's very few words being interchanged between us, and that's always a good sign because we're on the same page, ... That's a bonus to know you can control your side of the ball, control what you do and not have to worry about, is the other safety getting it right?

The last few weeks we haven't been playing up to our capabilities on defense. We know that no matter what happens out there on the field, if we get a turnover they can't score. That's our mentality. As a good defense you have to be able to improvise on the run, even in adverse situations.
