Former players and colleagues from the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots have gotten chummy leading up to Super Bowl LII. Even defensive end Chris Long and head coach Bill Belichick traded praise for one another's success this year.

However, Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount is taking a different approach. According to ESPN's Tim McManus, Blount will have nothing but disdain for his former team until the game is over:

“Straight enemy mode,” he said. “Ain't no friends, no homies, none of that. We know what we're going to do; they know what they're going to do. We've got the same goal in mind. It ain't no hard feelings. It just is what it is.”

Blount added that he has not given much thought to what the Patriots have done since his departure.

“I don't play for the Patriots anymore. I don't watch the Patriots, I don't care about the Patriots,” he said. “I focus on what we need to do to put us in the best position to win this game. I had a great time there last year, but last year is last year.”

Blount's take on New England is certainly interesting considering the career-year he enjoyed with them last season. He ran for 1,161 yards and 18 touchdowns en route to his second Super Bowl win with the Patriots.

That said, it seems he is looking to forge out his own championship win outside of New England with Philadelphia. Despite his decreased role with the Eagles, he still serves as a premier power back on the goal line as he did with the Patriots.
