(On if the fans can help in a practice the way they can during a game) “I don’t know. This is training camp, so I don’t think anything can help us but a day off from training camp. But it’s always fun to come out and have a crowd and see the crowd, even when it’s not in the stadium, to have the fans come out and support us and see us practice. They actually grow with us as the season goes on, because they see us from training camp all the way through the season, so they get a chance to see everything. I think that’s very exciting, from a player standpoint. To have these people be a part of us, that’s big for this team. But some people like this [the crowds]. It’s almost like a game, the amount of people we get out here. So some people like it. Me, I don’t care either way, but it just shows the respect and the love that they have for the New England Patriots and you have to respect that.”
