What's up everybody? Welcome into the next Pats podcast. We've got a great episode for you this week. Last week was Mac Jones week. Of course, we'll still talk a little Mac Jones this week. But I wanted this week to really get

into the Patriots running back room, and specifically Ramandre Stevenson and JJ Taylor. First year guy

and Stevenson, second year guy and Taylor, you know those are the types that we're focused on

here in this podcast. And both these players are so dynamic that even though they may not be number one on the depth

chart behind Damien Harris and James White, I think they're both going to play real roles

here in 2021, in part because they play in the kicking game as well. But how do we dive into

their skill sets? How do we dive into their attitudes and their approaches to their

jobs and to their position? We, of course, have watched these guys all summer long, and you could

hear me prattle on about them all day long if you wanted to, but you don't want to do that.

You want to hear from somebody with even a little bit more insight, and we have that guy today.

It's DeMarco Murray, former NFL running back, Cowboys, Eagles, Titans.

He's now the running backs coach at Oklahoma. So we coached Stevenson last year. He coached

J.J. Taylor the year before that at Arizona. So DeMarco Murray is with us this week.

Phenomenal guests. You're going to hear about his affinity for the Patriots program and how

they use their running backs. You're going to hear about Ramandre Stevenson and how aggressive he was,

not only on offense, but in that third phase of the game on special teams and J.J. Taylor,

some thoughts on him and just his work ethic and everything that he had to do behind the scenes

to turn himself into the player. He's become phenomenal guest from DeMarco Amari. So let's get to that conversation with DeMarco Murray. Right now, we'll come back with some thoughts on not only the running back spot, a little bit of quarterback talk, but some cornerback talk as well. All right, very excited now to have with us on the next Pat's podcast, DeMarco, Murray running backs coach at Oklahoma. You know him from his time with the Cowboys, the Eagles, the Titans. He coached at Arizona as well, but now he's back at his alma mater. DeMarco Murray, thank you so much for being with us, my friend. Thanks for having me. So it's just saying off air, we've got DeMarco Murray running backs running around all over Foxborough up here now.

You coach Ramandre Stevenson at Oklahoma.

You coached J.J. Taylor at Arizona in 2019.

So I have to ask you, what is it about DeMarco Murray that makes his players such good fits here in New England?

I think because that should have been a good fit there.
