Kendrick Bourne Fires Back At Colts Linebacker Over ‘Funny’ Comments

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Bobby Okereke seems to be really confident about his performance against the New England Patriots. He bragged around saying his team will shut down the Patriots’ run game and push Mac Jones out of control. Well, Kendrick Bourne heard all the comments the linebacker made and decided to offer honest response.

“I think that’s just funny,” Bourne said Tuesday. “Obviously, we’re not a one-dimensional team. Last week (against Buffalo), we ran the ball, but conditions are conditions. So that’s just a funny comment to me. I feel like we can do anything. We’re in control of what we do. It’s literally not about any other team. It’s about us.”

Bourne and Jones have incredible chemistry on the field. They connect for touchdowns and their friendship makes everything easier. Head coach Bill Belichick trusts Jones enough to hand him the keys to the offense. If you ask Bourne, he will say that the Colts could never avoid Josh McDaniels’ offense.

“Mac knows the looks, we know the looks, we’ve practiced different looks, so nothing is a shock,” the wideout said. “Nothing is new. It’s like, OK, we’ve seen this look, we’ve seen this look, how do we adjust to the look? That way, you can’t make us one-dimensional, because we know every look, or we’ve at least practiced or tried every look.

“So that’s just a funny comment, in my opinion, but it’s all about playing on Sunday, for sure, and proving it. That’s what I’ll say about that.”

Kendrick Bourne warns the linebacker and other opponents

Bourne has a warning to pretty much everyone who doubts his potential and the potential of his favorite quarterback. His team has faced too much criticism, and now is the perfect time to change the narrative.

“I definitely do think we’re under-respected,” Bourne said. “Overall, I think we are. But our receiver group, yeah, we don’t have top guys that they say or whatever, but New England’s kind of the place where you don’t need superstars. You don’t need the star. You just need the disciplined role player that can be a star in his own role, and that’s kind of how I look at myself. … I think our group has flown under the radar, but winning and everything else speaks for itself, so I think that’s what it’s ultimately about.”
