New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Batmore spoke to members of the media on Friday, marking the first time he answered questions since off-field allegations were levied against him earlier in the week.

Barmore elected not to directly answer any questions relating to the allegations, instead focusing on his club’s upcoming matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

WEEI’s Tom Carroll provided a transcript of the minute-long media session:

“We’re focused on Miami,” Barmore repeated several times.
