"I think we respect all opponents we have, we obviously start the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and look forward to that," he said when asked how much he focuses on the Patriots. "We have many games prior to [the Patriots] that are going to be big focuses. But we understand that New England is at the top of the East right now. We understand that we need to have certain particular game plans for them, as they do for us. Taking that into account, I think one of the great things about Miami and this team, we've never been scared of the New England Patriots. We never will be. So, with that being said, when we play them late in the season, we'll be prepared."
