On the productivity of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski: "They're both a big part of our offense. Tight ends have always been involved in our offense. I think the skillset of both those players really allows us to be flexible. Not only are they good blockers, but they catch the ball, too. You can run it behind them, you can play-action pass. And they've become pretty efficient in the passing game, also. You can spread them out and run them on different route combinations. They're very good players."
On Tedy Bruschi talking bad about Chad Ochocinco: "Everyone has an opinion on everything. And none of it really means anything. Only thing that means anything in this locker room and what we do every day in practice... I have no problems with Chad. At all."

On the getting the fans to be loud: "We've spoiled our fans? Is that what you're saying? We make good plays, they're going to scream. If we don't make good plays, they're going to probably boo us. So we're going to focus on trying to make good plays. The crowd... it always helps when they're loud, but we've got to give them reasons to be loud, we've got to give them reasons to cheer for us. Hopefully, those muskets are going off this weekend."
