We have what’s called the first 15 plays, so I study those and just visualize it, the kind of defense that they’re going to play. I visualize what’s the worst thing that can happen on this play. How can I stop this from happening, or how can I react to that? How can I counter that move that defensive lineman’s going to make, or the blitz that the defense is going to run? I kind of just envision those types of scenarios for every one of those 15 plays.
Heading into the Patriots game I knew for the first time this season, I was going to start.
