Do you think you will be the darling of fantasy football since you scored twice on the goal line yesterday against the San Francisco 49ers?
I have no control over that.

You passed former Patriots wide receiver Terry Glenn for fifth on the team's all-time receptions list. When you first became a Patriot did you ever think you would be that high on the receptions list as a running back?
You don't think about anything like that, you just think about helping your team - that's all it is. Helping your team win games and continue on.

How good was it to have success scoring touchdowns in the red zone yesterday against the San Francisco 49ers?
Every game that you play you try to improve. This week we tried to improve our red zone offense and I think we worked hard on it and it showed. You just have to be consistent with it and keep moving.

Coach Bill Belichick said that yesterday might have been the first time you scored two touchdowns in a game since the fourth grade. Is he correct with his research on that?
That might have been one of the few times that Bill [Belichick] was a little incorrect. I think it was in college that it happened.

Do you remember the last time you scored two touchdowns in a game?
No I don't remember. That is kind of far back for me. I can barely remember what happened a couple of weeks ago.

I know you were joking about Bill Belichick being a little incorrect but is he not a big SEC [Southeastern Conference] football fan because he said you haven't had a two-touchdown game since the fourth grade?
I think he is a big SEC [Southeastern Conference] football fan because he has a lot guys from the SEC.

You are a big part of the offense's two-minute package. How do you feel quarterback Matt Cassel did in running the two-minute offense yesterday against the San Francisco 49ers?
I think it is just about everybody doing their job, getting everything done correctly and just not trying to do too much. I think that is what we have to understand as an offense and a football team.

What did you see from quarterback Matt Cassel in that two-minute drive because that is probably one of the toughest things for a quarterback to do?
Well, like I said it was just him doing his job and with everybody else doing their job everything should pan out.

How well do you think quarterback Matt Cassel did on selling the bad snap on your direct-snap touchdown run?
By looking at the film it looked like he [Matt Cassel] did a good job. It was about him faking it, the offensive line blocking and me finding the right hole to run to.
