Patriots

Patriots DB Adrian Phillips recognizes that the division is loaded with great quarterbacks, but the team is focusing on their preparation, not them.

โ€œYou look at our schedule, itโ€™s stacked with a bunch of quarterbacks,โ€ Phillips said, via PFT. โ€œBut, honestly, we havenโ€™t really talked about those guys in the offseason because itโ€™s not about them, itโ€™s about us.

Phillips has confidence in HC Bill Belichick to devise a game plan to slow them down.

โ€œWe know that Bill is a master game planner,โ€ he said. โ€œWhen we get into the week after week stuff, thatโ€™s when we really talk about those guys.โ€
