Patriots Playbook - 9/18/2007

[19:54] ..." a -- a -- they're not afraid to throw bodies in there. Eric Alexander make some very very nice place especially in specialties. Great place -- lot of speed lot of quickness. You know so I thought we would actually miss speed and versatility that a guy like -- Banta-Cain him before he signed his. Offseason deal with San Francisco would you know Eric Alexander's given you'll some some here. Yeah annual -- that's good to say. So we could sit here -- in like over a"...

[0:00]" Let's now let's go let's go to volley now also want to go odd why it. That they've won a pair of skis patriots playbook got back up combat odd bit being on here briefly. Breaking down last Sunday -- man coverage. When these get ready for the break. Jack do. Prayed for the rest of the 2000. And some of the points stuff in between. On patriots play."

[0:41]" inside the book for a day game -- three for the patriots. As pat and roll over the San Diego Chargers. By the same identical score that they've beat up on the -- 38 to 14 and we want. I'm John -- graduate this year once again inside the patriots playbook. Brian welcome patriots video news would join us in a little while. We'll also hear from -- spell check will later on we want to get a lot of your emails we do want to take your telephone calls and we want to hear how much better. Or not you may be feeling about you know England patriots have for watching what they did on Sunday night -- I have to admit that mine. My initial reaction actually gonna agree recall all of those who may have -- last week as a that a that the patriots would definitely win the game"

[1:30]" oh what I also thought though is that I you know they had the potential to be close. And it wasn't that in fact it was an even anywhere near close and I told them Johnson -- spot for me in the Booth I told him you know as we were coming into the stadium on Sunday and based I don't know just on. I -- kind of -- that I got from the few players who actually care to comment about it last week about bowl. Video game didn't end and the reaction that I was hearing from other pockets around the country and in -- was quite frankly a lot of patriot bashing going on and you know you may be in one of those. You know pockets the country where there's another NFL team and people love to beat up on the patriots because well because they're the kingpin everybody loves to you know black the champion while they can't. -- mother down. And I really thought. On my way into Gillette. Fighting that -- conflict traffic Sunday which was just -- I mean it's back to the old days of Foxboro stadium around here that's a bad the traffic is currently -- early now that we notes could -- his ability as -- replaced in around here and it's just it's not. In of people crossing over one so I would the next you -- back everybody up in you know on the just it's crazy anyway you'd think that somebody would have figured out a way. To get the people who need to now park in the lot across route one that was figure out a way to get them back over to the stadium without holding up traffic. Yeah let's go underground -- and tunnels or let's put some you know foot bridges in or something but now. Now nobody's thought of that yet and you know they'll probably think of it when we you know keep harping on it so you know that's why I'm going to bring up quite frankly it's just it's an abomination. Traffic is as bad as there was they really think people are gonna come and -- page replaced with that horrible traffic. Yeah -- until stores start closing that I think they'll figure things out at any rate I digress on my way into the game -- that you know one I just I sense -- mood. I since the swing I sense an emotional. Turn and I really thought strongly Sunday morning. That the patriots went when Cornel I you know and again it's easy for resiliency that now but just based on what I was near. And in -- what I really liked to hear. And what I really love was due to see guys on ESPN and NFL network and end or else that I fox was one as well. You know talk about things that they actually knew nothing about. The guys on ESPN for the most part you know I think they're entertaining I think mostly they do the job they knew nothing. About what was going on here in -- nothing. I'd be happy to shoot you know all kinds of holes to their credibility zero. And here's Steve young. In Emmett Smith go on -- on about how you know the patriots you know this is bad -- his cheating and you know how to -- to talk to our kids about this I mean it's about two guys who played two of the worst defenders of the 1980s and 90s. -- you know how many Dallas Cowboys in and -- I'm a cowboy fan I grew up a cowboy fans that Greg will. In in in -- does Stella Dallas, Texas but Maine cowboys had a how many guys associated with drugs. -- shall -- say get cavalier behavior when they were going to their championships and oh yeah I guess maybe this members as well 49ers Steve young forgot that they've you know. Violated the the salary cap. Purposely to help build their dynasty. So I you know it. To hold the patriots have to a different standard. Then they'd themselves should have been held -- mommy please cut me a little slack here I'm not an ignorant fool. But I was offended because they're taking fans who actually follow the NFL for ignorant fools you should not listened to a thing that Emmitt Smith -- Steve young has to -- And believe it. As far as I'm concerned the credibility is shot that they play the game yes they play the game at a very high level. Obviously Hall of Fame level course that they were great players but that doesn't give them right. To say that they know what's going on when they don't you think that they picked up the phone and called the pick your players -- at what's going on now. I would tell you that they did not do that. They would never do that and they rely simply on their court on court expertise for being who they are. And ESP and puts them out there simply because they are who they are because you'll watch your soccer. You -- soccer. If you listen and believe anything those guys -- because they could not have been more wrong. The gods honest truth. We know most of entering POW guys should know myself. Gary I'm that we don't know what's going on for the most part around here. That's what that's that's that's how we you know that that's why hopefully you come here for your information. The guys on WEEI locally in any other Sports Radio station there was some truth. Most the time they were talk about what was being -- stated it by the rest of mainstream media and nobody knew. Nobody really knew. And so -- listen to these opinions on ESPN and you know march where that -- to be a friend of mine and enjoy working with them every -- I go to ESPN but he was so far off base it was laughable. Laughable Chris Morton's and was the one who actually broke the story last week on espn.com law and he had the most accuracy of anybody. And you'll notice that later in the week he's somewhat back peddled from it he didn't really offer an opinion on whether or not he you know he didn't really opine on this he -- reporting the story. And that was fair he's doing his job. John Clayton. Reporting what his job those guys pick up the phone and they talked to people they have contacts in the league they have contacts here. They have contact with -- every team in the league. I believe those guys a heck of a lot more than I would believe Steve young or Emmitt Smith. My god what a couple of both -- Total and complete. Football idiots. Well we had to play the game great when they played. Probably knew a lot of good inside stuff in there when they played didn't see them bring -- what you know why the Dallas Cowboys. Hi Michael I don't go to take less Coke. I mean come walk -- I don't distort let's go I'm going to go with fewer -- Please Steve young yeah I told bill Walsh and I told the the mortal as I said we really need to stay under the salary cap. Please if you care to comment. Love to hear from the web radio patriots dot com is the email address 5 wait 5437482. I've only 5437482 -- the telephone number. Arm I don't want to hear your thoughts on the game I and I brought up a whole you know and to -- two week dynasty thing. The VFW guys because quite frankly that's what a lot of people started talk about now. You know effect is the patriots Ron ran roughshod over one of the perceived best teams in lake. I saw San Diego team that still trying to find itself a bit under Norv Turner which -- really curious. Because this really is norv Turner's team he was offensive coordinator here. It -- here in San Diego. And largely built this team in the when he left to go take -- coaching job that move cam Cameron in. Kim kept norms often -- he was one of -- lieutenants. That was one of the reasons why they have some success because they didn't really want to kind of ruffled the feathers of what they have started. You can be a natural for him to come back him this team is it has some problems they can't establish a running. They don't have receivers in my honest opinion that you know. Don't have a threat that you can that you need to double you can single coverage single cover those wide outs for San Diego the patriots did that. And the person that you should fear and Antonio Gates of the patriots had somebody in the -- Thomas who not but it pretty fair job including on the 65 yard interception return for a touchdown. So the patriots matched up very well with what is still a great football team very good football team. But they're having some problems offensively right now. Defensively you know on the -- couple I think the only two things that you really had to argue with one was Laurence Maroney of failing to pick up a blitz early on the got Tom sack for the first time this year during the first half and Africa who didn't pick I forgot who failed to pick up the other one on the other member of Brady -- but I think it may have been them. -- the -- it was either row Mankins or or light and neither here to there you know things happen. But I would tell you that I think the offensive line is that pretty fair job. The weapons the ability to stretch the field -- it makes it scary scary good. In this team is only going to get better defensively when Seymour. And Harrison return. And so yes the patriots have what was determined to be what the second or third most difficult schedule on the NFL this year. Public based on winning percentage total winning percentage against of all opponents. Second or third things were red. So -- other still some teams out there that are going to be fairly formidable. But you know that the patriots managed to quote on quote get up for the tougher tougher teams. And you know that they always play well toward the end of the year generally speaking when you get close the playoffs so if they can stay relatively healthy. Who's to say they can't went 13 141516 games. -- 12 and four before the season started looking at the schedule. -- would be a very good accomplishment would win them the AFC east probably not get them the number one seed. But I certainly thought it would have been have a great shot at the Tuesday. You know which would of course mean first round bar in the playoffs and now I'm rethink in the -- and four. I'm rethinking that you know okay it limitless you can stub your toe once or twice. You might lose a game because of all the key injury you might. So worst case scenario is what 13 and three now I'm again and it kind of lean toward that Jason is in Florida good average."

[12:23]" Isn't howry and you know one great right can crank it it was. It was it kind of left me speechless to be honest with Jason I I was I was just impressed with. The ability to focus on I was impressed with the ability to put pedal to metal and into and just absolutely you know bull -- a pretty good football team."

[12:43]" I was most surprised -- given point or points you were giving 21 -- I had this team run on emotion and any time to get an underdog role. Just steam rolls everybody this is the most important game of the season."

[12:57]" know -- clinched it for me I was watching hank Goldberg give his picks on the Sunday morning show on ESPN and he took. The chargers in the three and a half that they were getting any picked them to win outright lies at -- that it's all over records of patrons are going to slaughter are out there you go."

[13:14]" I mean -- drop out rally around coach I'd like to officially welcome everyone back to build the ultimate bandwagon. -- after the game is although -- is no longer achieved just but what a great game great you know players could -- everything going on I'm glad I was really impressed for the fans you know -- cub fans are going to disappointed not to."

[13:37]" I that the crowd was as good a crowded as we've had in in several years terms of their intensity. They're emotion you know throughout the mean there really was number lull you know in the buzz in the crowd about the that was really really good out of the fans it is good job as they've done. Since Gillette stadium was built. I don't know one or more. Well in now I think that. I think you know I think if you -- if anybody had anything to be critical about somebody somebody would bring up his name I don't think it's so much that anybody's disappointed -- Donte' Stallworth I think that they're just you know really kind of gladly you know was surprised -- the new toy they have been in in a cut like Randy moss. I think you know more and more teams are going to realize that Randy moss has got to be doubled somehow some way. I mean that the chargers were blatant in their non doubling of Randy and deservedly so they got hurt by that. It's -- that you're going to see teams out the -- are we going to take -- equation. He's given he doesn't he hasn't lost a step we still got his speed he's still got his ability. It would not to let him beat us as a when teams finally step up honestly Jason and decide to you know bring a safety over to help. That's when you're going to see Donte' Stallworth I think probably have a little more attention since thrown his way."

[14:53]" I think -- walked. About it when he's going to make -- big baby."

[14:57]" Could happen this week against the bills. I mean I -- honest no idiot okay I mean I actually did drop as one of the best minds in the game I think he's a very smart football guy. He just doesn't have a you know whole lot of you know player personnel -- I mean J. P. Losman pleats please but. Fact is is that you may see that happen this week you may see them say to the patriots moss isn't going to -- if you want to dink and dunk is to death. Throw underneath the Welker that's great we're going to take moss out there so the whole key here maybe stalwarts ability to operate one on one. Could happen this week."

[15:34]" Yeah I think you're right -- I think some. For a technical."

[15:37]" Thanks Jason appreciate the time 5 wait 5437482 that's the telephone number that tell you get all of -- that tell you colon of -- questions. Comments concerns criticisms they're always welcome and available here inside the playbook. And I and I kind of thought that that would be. The next. Obviously even balding subject matter to get into Lawrence or about Donte' Stallworth how we -- to keep this guy -- how in the podium enough that he's going to want to. You know -- patriot well let me first of all tell you that. -- these guys these are all missing page they want the ring this year. I don't know how that's going to change things if they get it I don't know how that's going to change things about attitudes but I mean I know once guys get a taste of winning. I don't think they want to give it up very easily. Everybody likes to be the kingpin. Everybody likes to be on top and and you want to stay on top for as long as you can. Soul you know say he only gets 30 or 40 catches this year. That caused him to want to think about Shoppach is wares elsewhere if he wins are ranked may be. You know and and then if that's the case on any kind of pat them on the back it thinks via service. You know and let him go someplace else is if they can make some money if not here. You know I don't know how it's going to break down for the patriots salary cap wise next year but -- overall you know hypotheticals that are probably going to be worth you know examining throughout the course the season. Because you know nobody's ever really happy with what's going on right now we always have to look ahead 910 starters do a well you know you're the best way you can't that's that's all I mean you know he's trying to blow. That's maintain it the best you can was knowing that you know some guys are going to go on some guys against -- it's just the way it is but you know -- did you know certainly I think the next piece of the puzzle to include in there certainly from an offensive perspective. I'd like to see them utilized Jabar Gaffney stability a little bit more actually in and -- like he what he can do. You know what's going to happen when Troy brown is able to come off the PP what are they going to do you know in that. Regard well those other guys become expendable possible. So I think you know maybe in the next couple weeks we see you know maybe a little bit more of them not only of stalwart but we sealed immoral book Gaffney and -- moral Washington the one thing that Kelly Washington has gone form is as he goes out and plays specialty she's even made some special teams tackle this year. That's also some of the Troy brown did so right now Washington in effect this kind of taking on that role with the exception to kick returns we have Welker and Kevin falcon frankly it's pretty good 12 punch in term punt returns and then. You have you know Ellis Hobbs. We've got to learn to hold on with what little bit better but you still have him and he's capable of you know obviously busted a big one as we know. -- pretty good return department now -- the necessarily need Troy brown that for the job anymore but that is something that he can you know. Come and feel. So washing kind of kind of holds onto that role now -- on my guess would be. You know he would be the one that you have to kind of like -- get a good look at here find out more than he's you know his career has legs -- knowing. And a -- a that your worst problem on offense and then you know you contribute due for a pretty good year I would things are going pretty well. Defensively you know I really liked the way the James Sanders has stepped into the breach and he's tough customer. I think he's got a lot of stick to -- to the receivers I you know -- I think he's a solid player he's not great he's a solid player I think Randall gay showing some flashes of what we saw a couple of years ago before he got to all of his injury problems during the year. All the championship season. I think Randall gay has played pretty well back there. I'd like to -- a bit more Brandon Meriweather comes in and you know some nickel and dime packages we see him on special teams as well and the kind of easing him into the into the rotation a bit. They have. We've even seen Chad brown a lot already have a -- a -- they're not afraid to throw bodies in there. Eric Alexander make some very very nice place especially in specialties. Great place -- lot of speed lot of quickness. You know so I thought we would actually miss speed and versatility that a guy like -- Banta-Cain him before he signed his. Offseason deal with San Francisco would you know Eric Alexander's given you'll some some here. Yeah annual -- that's good to say. So we could sit here -- in like over a lot of things but I think the patriots or oar in pretty good shape which is why I brought up the question. I mean did the question posed to you at least at this stage of the game right now for -- email question today is them. Number one. Do you really think the patriots can go 60 you know -- number two. If not who is the likely stumbling block. Take a look at the schedule. Tell me who you think is the likely culprit to deal the first defeat home away. Baltimore Dallas Indy who is it. Web radio at patriots dot com. Web radio -- patriots dot com against 5 wait 5437482. -- phone number -- calls calm I would tell you that. I haven't really and -- I don't usually like to go at. And look at the schedule and say okay win loss win loss win loss or you know win win win. Lost win win win loss I don't really like -- to do that. -- we all do it -- We all kind of you know take -- sneak peek -- it will it should be when that should be laws you know I don't think that loss is going to come this week. But the patriots you know we'll take your business. Com I think they're like already 1515 and a half point favorite I don't see that really slight and too much patrons will be as prohibitive a favorite over -- this week is any team in the league. Will be a favorite over any body. This season you don't see too many 15 point spreads in the NFL you're gonna get that this week. Following week. On 30. Course the patriots are in Monday Night Football -- playing in Cincinnati. You know I think Cincinnati is certainly capable on that that that city will be Jews for the pats. But from based on what we've seen of Cincinnati this or mean it do you see them slowing or stopping the patriots offense of course not new. I don't. -- the -- lose a game like that is that they shoot themselves in the foot with you know report -- hours and maybe one or even to get return for a touchdown it's. Then -- to the patriots lose again. Citadel pick -- its return for a score to give up fumble you know deepen their an infielder in the red zone that accident was sure the following week week five. Patriots her home against Cleveland. In on while I'm really happy for Cleveland this last week if I can't believe it put 51 points up on the board and certainly pleased Romeo Cornell it's can keep his head off the chopping block released under the weaker too. Do you see Cleveland coming in here beat New England now. Realistically now. And then of course weeks six I think is the first real. You know after this past week in the first real test and it's -- the first real road test I think more so than Cincinnati. The favorites going to put the cowboys in Dallas. Dallas seems to have all cylinders clicking on all things right now but again the cowboys are having trouble stopping their own people as well. Really bad New York Giants team hit him up the 35 week before last -- last week pitched so mean. You know -- before that's right we want soon you know if the patriots are playing in their on their Mark. We'll make you think cowboys can hold them anything less than 35. I mean you might win a 4135 game but today you still won it so I actually don't think that the cowboys don't will be the patriots in Dallas. Let's move on a week seven. Week seven. Hatred through Miami. Enough said is there anybody in the division that has -- shot that may be the one game. Because the pitcher on the road in a place where they normally don't play well in in golf Wednesday they've already beat the jets the jets. They will be buffalo buffalo. This should be the one divisional game you could see them possibly lose them but coming in week seven and I don't think so. Week eight we get to the halfway point of the season. The patriots are home against Washington. In -- the Washington actually pretty good last night Jason Campbell I was pleasantly surprised with -- he's he's still going to -- a bit but you can see that there's some ability there. And I think that you know Philadelphia has -- right now that the disappointments this early in the NFC but maybe in the whole NFL starting auto into. Now it Washington's over achieving is a little -- let's wait until we get the -- gate before we really. Figure out of Washington is a legitimate contender an you know it's wide open in the NFC right. But you think I mean it's it's it's wide open in the NFC there's not a dominating take the one team that -- thought could be dominating his New Orleans in in the -- to. -- Chicago still has Rex Grossman again enough said. Right now Chicago I actually thought Carolina would be vastly improved and I still think -- a million of being there. But I can't believe Carolina lost like they did Houston and home. I just want to wish you get used a little more credit their -- over the first time of their franchise history. But the way that they kind of pounded on Carolina little that I to admit I was surprised. You know I think match job is obviously proven because they're they're good quarterback and Houston made the right choice. So you know if Chicago is in the NFC right now -- what you're going to you don't get much from Washington let's. What do we get the week gave right now you'd have to -- sure home. That -- the patriots. Right -- nine. That probably is the one game that I'm going to wager. And most people say okay we gotta lose one somewhere that's it because you played Indianapolis NBA game that. The entire free world will be tuned in -- Late afternoon game on CBS. Everybody be tuned in I mean just you know how about a donnybrook two best teams in the NFL hands down. Team that's won it three times the last six years against the team with the defending champ. And again and in the patriots offensively based on what we know at least the first two weeks of the season match up pretty favorably with what the colts. On defects. -- we'll have their own -- of trouble trying to slow down Indies offense we'll know that but. By that point time week nine it. Theoretically would have both -- Warren Harrison back in the rotation and having had a couple weeks under the belt and you'd have to think that again barring another injury somewhere. But the patriots would be probably rounding into tip top shape defensively. So you kind of reach your own conclusion there. I really believe in my own estimation that the patriots won't. Face a potential loss until week nine at Indianapolis that might pick what's yours. -- radio -- patriots dot com final wait 5437482. Who -- a couple of emails and your game Brian Lowe from peavy and papers medianews you can join us later in the program will also hear from patriots coach Bill Belichick today and he caught up -- James Kelly right. In order to touch base after my email last week I think that bill showed very human side after the game. When the players rallied around him after the -- he could see how touched he was I just read that as he really had taken this hard and they was remorseful. An armory a lot of to a few seconds of video what it does seem like it was a man who'd taken a lot of blows. It was grateful for the local players fans directed his way who doesn't love the story of redemption after a fall from grace. Hoping that nothing further come from the rumors that are flying around about interfering with communications wiring defense players and so forth. Number that's of the -- what a fantastic win that was I did not expect that level of dominance they expect the players about one on fire after -- they had gone through bow wow. While his right James while it's absolutely right. By the way I don't know that this has been discussed but -- I fully expect. Next year on the issue -- voting and I I fully expect deep into players to be able or a -- a player to be able have calm. And electronic system in his helmet. Somewhere I do believe that they'll end up having some kind of communications -- defense it only missed by two votes passing last year the patriots voted against it. An equally animals see why that probably is. But I think that that's probably going to pass this year and it's probably partly because of what the patriots just did so I guess is is that gets past. The patron -- in the designating somebody to wear the microphone home. Pitchers obviously -- the ball long like that was a disadvantage to them because of their substitution pattern. In the same guy doesn't call the signals on a reply but it was Tedy Bruschi great but you know the Teddy Bruschi. It does not appear on in every on every Saturday -- They just got to Seattle at work that went out. And I'm sure that the had to be some sort of a rule written into the equation. That would allow multiple players. To have the communication abilities and either. Asked that helped around so to speak or -- more than one player two or three maybe even. Have these receivers put into their helmets but they cannot be on the field at the same time. Somehow that's got to be worked out. That's gotta be worked out but I do think that they will pass Ryan writes. Big question I feel as that do the patriots lose credibility. Every move they make is going to be watched like hawk the season is their chance to prove that they are superb franchise and third -- cannot be discredited sure. Absolutely winning has sense of telling people's memories. -- and especially when you win in dominating fashion like they did this last Sunday Ryan. My thought is is that you know while this issue will probably never completely go away this season. You know it's always going to be there there's always going to be some haters out there are going to dump on the patents they -- wink wink we know what they did are they still don't want it -- going to be someone like that because. You know what people were grasping at straws they tend to go for the lowest blow they can find. To do whatever they can't compare something or somebody down. When they have nothing else to go after. So in that regard my guess is that it would never completely go away. But I think if you keep winning iniki beating people in let's say even when you get the week nine like I just suggest an -- able to go on the road. And beat the defending Super Bowl champs in their house. I think then anybody who whines and complains about the patriots in their credibility is just dribbled his look foolish and his look stupid. And will definitely be branded a hater Brittany from lake worth Florida I will root for any player that the patriots acquire. I admit that putted from Tom could sell his conversation last hour. And it's always good to know. And she actually makes some makes a point here that. -- frankly I have long believed that we as fans root for laundry. We don't root for individuals we don't root for players we don't root for Tom Brady for say. Tom Brady board -- jets uniform you'd want him he'd want him out on a stretcher. We root for Tom Brady because he wears the patriot blue and silver. You root for Rodney Harrison because you're the major blue and silver bow before he did that you'd like even like Rodney Harrison no -- Nobody did you might have admire the way you played well when he went down once of the bad -- somebody burned in your view cheered. Just like everybody else outside of San Diego we cheered. We root for long injury. We do not root for players are individuals we root for laundry we root for guys wearing the patriots colors. On Dan -- I wouldn't bring players who have for the -- even a guy whose past -- shady is pac man Jones renting Johnson. I mean not like the fact that they were side and they actually be complete idiots but I'll root for them assembly a -- for Brady Bruschi or any of the other guys that make that we'll go. They come and work at being a professional in every way. I have no excuse to root against them. Com I could not agree more -- I don't think the patriots blog look to sign a guy like pac man Jones retain Johnson but again the only ones on Randy laws. Who knows -- your body you know deserve to have another chance although to -- payments already had about six along with him in the NFL for years. Two years. Bomb John writes and since an excerpt from Tom Kearns NBC sports dot com column. All on the patriots. And not going to really read it through here but I'll read a portion of it. On he says. In terms of the further fall out how the patriots you know conceivably could be persecuted from here on out you know not letting this thing you know go away. He says if the NFL is going to perform a colonoscopy in the -- archives of tapes from past games thanks to weak ones transgressions. Commissioner Roger -- the lineup all 31 other team for the same examination. There was no shortage of coaches and sources saying everybody's doing it to England just got caught to a that's the case this kind of cheating is rampant. And what do you do. And what you do it should say when cheating rabbit is for the road back on the whole operation and make sure that everyone the 32 teams has been operating on the open up. There's absolutely no doubt that something else is going to be on earth by Goodell has been when -- launch a deeper investigation. If this is the scandalous purported to be that it has to be eradicated and not by making an example of just one team. But they'll can't -- the integrity of the game banner and then turn a deaf ear to all the whispers that the patriots were the only ones flaunting the rules it's hypocritical. And a world praise for the last century it's a high tech lynching. And you're absolutely right. You know Tom -- most definitely. Was absolutely right -- And so they're going to continue to scrutinize look at all the patriots video then he needs to be you know listening to the other whispers in the other so called experts in the brilliant minds that Emmitt Smith and Steve young provided. You know. And into the NFL countdown or whatever the hell is that the Iran now and I need to start looking under the covers it to the other 31 team easily. Henry and San Antonio, Texas I was wondering your thoughts and Stephen August asking miss two field goals -- the jets and chargers game 40 plus -- do you think that might bring in another kicker or they going to stick it out with Steve. This is worth Troy brown -- on the PUP physically unable to perform list and he will be due to come back after six weeks from you know. I don't think because of everything else that's going on right now the quite frankly I don't think they're terribly concerned with just south -- but. I don't know you know if if we -- if we get to a situation weaker -- from now where. You know make -- field goal from 40 to 45 in that range or even further in. You know gets missed again I mean he to shank that one on Sunday night to the right the shank it right it's on Wallace. That you might see somebody coming into -- provide a little you know practice competition you might. But let's be real here who you gonna bring in now that's actually going to do a better job that what you have. They may be a sense of just providing a little keen competition to keep him sharp keep him on edge he can quote unquote fighting for his position. Well who who's out there I mean the -- just recently Morton Anderson for God's sake and he's 85 years old. Are usually. 4740 and and he's kicking in the NFL again. Wow so if he got sent them who's out there you know what I'm saying. Mom gets -- not much. Jam in saddle river New Jersey. Coverage of the whole camera controversy got a New York has been just lyrics for the first week. Just all the piling on against the pats do not that good the office look easy when -- the calls and so forth. Then comes the game Sunday night in the coverage on Monday and you could almost your applause in all the New York Sports Radio coverage followed by a well yeah the patriots look pretty good. That and a few comments to discuss in the OT start of the jets as to what they think will be the pats looking to destroy the jets from the play this season in July. Do you see that game. Patriots is looking to make a statement looking to embarrass the jets and they match up again. No honestly I don't I think Nam by that point in time. When that plated one reluctantly musket they will face -- jets. Again -- week. It's my schedule. Late in the air right at the right the end of the year. I'll weeks six weeks 50 -- December the 16. So it's the next room next last week anyway hum so. No I think by that time everything will be well in hand. Quite frankly you know -- probably have already clinched the AFC east by that point time and if so. Then you know that could actually be a game that you could say well it could be a chance for the patriots were loose and let's face it you're not in this to go 16 you know. You're not in this to to surpass. In all the -- Baltimore colts record of course Miami Dolphins record of 72 you're not into that. -- you know that the patriots get to eight you know united -- NL that's exactly. Where the conversation is going to turn I'm going to predict that now. -- turn here we'll talk about it here it will be the national buzz you know the you know. Talking meat heads on ESPN all we talk it up the same thing. And you're going to jump into line and sinker yourself you're going to latch onto it -- and this great guy out we're gonna win a -- You know well that game we 16 were -- 15 may be different because honestly. Probably already be decided the patriots may treat it like an exhibition game and only play the regulars for you know a quarter. Unless of course. Unless of course the top seeded. You know -- first round body is still on the line. That I -- the start of play and a half to three quarters of the game hopefully you know having a bit of the lead and then letting you know. The other takeover. I don't know that they would have any sort of special. So some -- the jets although you know undoubtedly will bring it up but it will be a topic of conversation leading into that week but I don't really I don't really think so. So thanks for the -- James. It -- rights I live in Pittsburgh your shows give me a break and steeler talk still steeler ST EA ER cool. Offers column oil pats -- I'll be the first to admit bill cheated bill got caught they got fine. Does cast bit of a shadow over the team's recent accomplishments but I will still root for them hope nothing comes of this but it will not be the least bit surprised that more is on earth from the whole thing. Second bill Simmons he has been dot com wrote an interesting column regarding everything that they mr. didn't about on the telecast and Sunday night -- guys -- this column -- so what do you think. Let me say this -- that first actually not a huge bill Simmons -- Calm I guess he just comes from little different generation and I usually younger than I am -- probably more old school that he has. But actually thought his column with this the one that you're referring to -- without a -- pretty well written. Not like bill Simmons hit a lot of the correct analysis on the -- and I think he has a pretty good at least with the patriots stories concern I think is a pretty good feel. For the pulse of patriots fans obviously you know -- was originally -- as the Boston sports guy and that's how he got his job at ESPN now he's just the sports guy. But those who read him know that he does -- Boston sports fan proven through. Red Sox patriots premier arm. Actually that was. I I yeah I actually agree that most of everything that he said. Do yourself a favor I'm going to go to get up for -- but if you haven't read it just go willow to he has been dot com search for bill Simmons it'll come opened the if you agree. -- third what is the chance that bill does everything in his power to beat the hell out of the jets and -- on the score up as high as possible the jets come to Foxboro. They go -- midfield for sweet embrace with the jets and coach. I honestly I think you'd probably know better by now but you know he's not going to run the squirrel on anybody make. Mumble something privately some of his trusted assistant total a couple of guys maybe in the locker room announced that stuff is never going to get out where you were I would be privy to. Just not going to happen. And then again I'm not even sure he really thinks like that not entirely. -- like going to the game. You know again he's going to get asked that question just -- the games division rival. We need you know make sure we're clicking on all cylinders for the playoffs ya --"

[42:20]" Jason Cole from Yahoo! Sports reports that the NFL might investigate the manner in which the -- confiscated on September the ninth the -- deployment Astro was released to jay Glazer of fox. Two unnamed sources -- too cold that the leak to Glazer might be explored by the league office. It should not have happened and we are very disappointed about it until spokesman Greg Aiello told -- regarding the league of the tape but it does not impact what we are doing. Cole also report the commissioner Roger Goodell was exceptionally angry about the leak. It's the kind of thing where Robert craft looks at us and says all of you guys do -- favor the jets source told call this kind of stuff puts us in a bad position. And two point. It also creates perception problem for good they'll given that his wife is Fox News Channel -- James Skinner I didn't know that you know that. All as a now fox is getting a little bit of a scope this year or. Call okay I can do that would be a perception problem. More than if you PFT readers have speculated that the legal officer intentionally leaked the -- the misses the bills employer. But -- some Internet hack wrote in his week to ten -- for sporting news.com that they didn't come from the league office. Several copies of the tape were made because several people outside the league office such as members of the competition committee needed to sing it. Once the thing exited the exclusive possession of league office and got into the hands of folks at multiple teams became much harder to keep the statement wraps. That does make more sense. Also there's an investigation -- only look at not only -- in the league office who had access to the tape but also anyone with any team they've got the thing. Such as for example bill pole but yeah hug them I would would concur I would totally cooker. Says here we also think that the league should look upstream on this when his presumed that the camera and tape were immediately put into a box. That was hermetically sealed thanks Tiki Barber and sent to park avenue but what of someone in the meadowlands but it probably that they before it was bagged and tagged. Regardless of how it turns out makes for an interesting subplot won the most compelling medical stories in years thank you to a George from golf to a New Hampshire. Forwarding this item from Yahoo! Sports thank you George -- pretty Thursday. How this still registered take allied itself was sort spawning little stories all over the place. It's multiply and and it's dividing. So far as a conquered -- New England right. Our market Hebron Connecticut says I don't usually listen live. I apologize if this is already been asked is -- what that was up with a parking episode of the what problem for -- five moderate one north -- for four hours before kick off the traffic was backed up with a quarter model of the offering. Would the first -- in this year and they were issues moving the trapping getting people into parking and not sure whose brain child the parking changes were but I don't think they've. Bought them out very well. Well apparently Cheney and his around accommodate traffic -- area on game day well I'm bringing it up because I'm hoping that someone in a position of power and authority will listen. At all. Said it will -- But you know the reason that things have changed around is because they were limited so much the parking on the stadium side of -- one for the construction of patriot place. That they've had to move a lot of the parking over to the other side of -- one. So how do you get the fans from there through the stadium they got to cross the street and across the street they stop the traffic. Why the hell of a foot bridges or aware of the titles go after it. There's gotta be some than to make an even flow of fans. Effective that you don't stop the traffic they adjust. Figured out the traffic I mean let's face -- all the ramp work in all the you you know stuff they put it over the years as Gillette's David been built. Yeah got to the point where it was actually tolerable to get into it certainly out of the game on route one. You know certainly. Heck abilities that was in the heyday of Foxboro stadium when it was a nightmare and you're in the parking lot for an hour rafter again -- now gone back to an hour after game. Because the Massachusetts state police have to stop the traffic be it people across the street. You know I cannot believe that somebody didn't think of this. It's just it boggles the sometimes the most simplest things just coach run over their heads. Whoever's in charge of planning here mr. -- let's go. Calls or bridges and -- both. That'll solve your problem. Getting into the infrastructure. And do it before you open a bigger place. The -- is is that it will happen before they've you know I mean that's going to open up you know soft opening with a couple of stores like Cuba. Bass pro an end the circuit city in the and Chris mystery shops and some of the big you know anchor chain stores that are going to be part of this thing. But believe you me people will not come out and shop -- they know that they're in a cluster bully for four hours. Won't happen and if they're not going to come out shop the stores go belly up."

[47:44]" The patriots aren't investing all this time money for any of these stores that go belly up. It'll happen. Before you prior anybody else that gets stuck in the traffic is not going to happen soon enough. So anyway Mark thank you for bringing it up and we will continue to -- you know how to drum on that particular issue you know patriots playbook. Let them come from -- goes in Alexandria, Virginia. -- the latest story and he's been dot com front senator bayh Gregg who the hell is this guy easterbrook is the Tuesday morning quarterback column. Used to do it for rock NFL dot com this would mortem Bernstein treatments -- out of control here's an extra pieces -- going to play San Diego just four games back. In the January 2007 postseason perhaps politics cameraman was illegally paving the charges that day. Russian military illegal use the liberation against the chargers on Sunday night. The San Diego coaching staff has changed since playoff games so presumably is to Pensacola different. The San Diego's new defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell was the escorted the bills in the jets both AFC east teams. In ability period. -- Belichick has spot on -- call before and took out the tapes of spying rather than handing them over to good old man as we don't demand. Was -- cheating begins Sunday night on the -- to advance the ball with such ease him that they knew what -- India it would be in. Now he's just he's just -- he just rendered I don't really think I put a lot of credit guy like Greg he's rook anyways. One of those bloggers in the blog is fear that some has got himself well legitimate job"

[49:15]" all in -- just hands me another thing from that article easterbrook says we'll Belichick even begin coaching by season's end. When the dog fighting scandal first broke most football pundits in most in. The Atlanta in the league offices thought there would be few repercussions then they thought Vick would have to make some kind of apology. Then they thought he'd need some leave of absence and they thought he'd be suspended for a year now they wonder whether he'll ever be allowed to play again by acting nixonian. Belichick is accelerating his fall from grace today develop ticket knowing we're trying to pretend the scandalous over. It would not surprise me in the slightest if before the season and the logic resigns or suspended were inspired by -- agreement is permanently barred from the league. -- head might be necessary to preserve the integrity of the game surprisingly soon sacrifice and Belichick the save. Professional football might seem an attractive option even to craft remember. There is no law of nature this is the NFL must remain popular. I think mysteries -- Failed to get the note on you know from the Boston Globe says that there has been an alleged you know contract extension through 2013. I think that deserves to go."

Good stuff they'll go where your initial thoughts on now on on Sundays win boy. I mean if you put you just put everything aside all the stuff from last week it's not sure I know you've guarded talked about sure it's not like it's over you'll still be talking about that but from a."

[57:16]" From a pure in you know between the lines you made -- point. You know. You can't imagine a team starting out this strong from you know. Each phase of the game they're playing through that playoff team last year. All of their offseason acquisitions and I mean all and I know you mentioned Dante Scott Norwood there's some guys will talk about it. Their offseason equity acquisitions have been not just good -- standing through two games and they're there isn't really a hole in on this team now. They were too -- back in 2002 and riding high in the did you know before and you know it doesn't always work out that way and you gotta use -- hesitate before you why you don't start saying you know thrown out the got 60 notes here. But the to -- and I don't know John you have he Cincinnati Cleveland yet but the patriots office please those two defenses each of those defenses next next week next couple weeks ago of course 60 bomb any there there rolling right now and and there's no reason to think that they're going to hold up because now. The chip on the shoulder. There was no reason to shoulder until this week so you know it's looking pretty good for them. From a from a football standpoint you'd have to agree you gotta figure I have to agree and you might my thoughts in my thoughts on that game and I I was stunned that day. Or had 24 nothing I go -- I I I figured it Diego I think the patriots are better team in San Diego I think overall. I thought that -- I mentioned chip on his shoulder I thought in the order had enough of that other chip on the shoulder from what happened last year in the playoffs. That it would be competitive and it -- or not it was a non competitive game. Three minutes into the game the patriots had scored a touchdown on virtually flawless drive it had the ball back after that first play. You know I mean games over -- and I. I thought it would be competitive I thought that India has not talent. On alone to be competitive in a game like this and be really proved otherwise -- like. I can't imagine it was a whole overnight cross country really think would be part of but it sucks to be themselves. -- wickedness was this Richard I do think that he is going to be there. In yet by the end -- in the super climactic scene Diego's. Contributor talent alone this is it would be there."

[59:37]" I -- I don't disagree -- I think that eventually they should get it together I don't know -- respond like you know 14 to like -- but let's -- today they probably are still -- the class of that division with -- respect to Denver that being said I think -- that's -- playing -- huge dividends because now you have home field advantage. You do and you know if it does come down to what everybody."

[1:00:00]" Thinks it was going to come down to patriots colts chargers at the end of the year. You know obviously it is still the -- you know colts game and I was you're the one seed if you somehow beat Indianapolis Indianapolis and you're the one. The the -- chargers you know best case scenario would they'd they'd faced each other -- the other semifinal -- and you get the winner of that match right at home right. At home that's what comes out of let's face it the patriots last year against the colts obviously we don't have a nickname patriots -- usually. That they'll bottom line is the patriots only lost by four and had the ball at the end if that game is in New England and the talent levels of the same injuries all that is. You know it is that enough difference that hatred for home it would one I think probably has any advantage to be huge and it's not you know. You have to at Pittsburgh proved a couple of years ago but it definitely helps and you'll the only what you get that is. You know by beating these teams when -- in the regular season that that you're so that November 4 game obviously the is that they want you aren't sure the -- you know colts chargers whenever they play should know they do considerable division winners a panel local long way -- playoff -- as well but. On getting that like up in his early you know being one at all in the division and then having a win over team that is likely to be division winner. Those accused."

[1:01:16]" The question of the day that we mentioned earlier in the last Arnold mentioned it to you right here for those that may be just logging and give it to you now on you can respond web radio -- Patriots dot com that's the email address web radio at patriots dot -- But the the question there was take a look at the schedule until where you think potential the first loss is going to come if at all and I. Obviously selected. November the fourth right after colts as being the most likely until that point in time right it just didn't stand to reason even though you have to go to Cincinnati right after go to Dallas between now and then. I didn't think either defensively I don't want to those teams could be able slowed on the patriots often if it stays healthy like it is now."

[1:01:52]" At Cincinnati doesn't scare me much especially when Saudi at a -- think I think this knights offense is one of the best in the lead but I help us. Also thought San Diego was pretty good on and I. You know I I think the patriots will be able to they might -- to Cincinnati what they do with a lot of other team's dual. Pick and choose either they'll shut down a running game and kind of like Chad Johnson T. J. Houshmandzadeh -- little bit damaged but not enough or they'll shut down a passing game why Reed Johnson got you. That's an offense that you can't probably fully stop. But they might be able to stop an element of it and not let the other element kill you I think at Dallas is it is a tough game absolutely winnable but I think it's tough game. And you know -- Miami let's face it Miami's had some putrid years recently and he'll be the patriots at home. I I we can't overlook that that game because I think that's just a defense that still has some defensive players were terrorized. Tom Brady in the past that you have to give them a semblance of respect. It had been no what do against the patriots offense. But certainly the colts game is the -- the first real. Gotten big time game where you've got to say. The patriots won't be fever and the patriots beat favored if we're looking at that we're not but we work to be favored in every game until the colts."

[1:03:09]" Yeah I I think as couples -- that's reasonable to assume. I also think that after the colts game if by some chance they get the bed and I think that's when you'll hear a lot of the conversation talk about 16 no gambler putting. Still conversation at a -- a little bit a little -- I think it's almost you know silly it's an old but but you know here's the thing. You still have a game a -- plague of Baltimore later in the years well that I -- could also be in at least I don't --"

[1:03:32]" You know once we start you know we we start getting into into games like that in December that are tough games and you know but. So many things take things can change right -- replaces -- so targets are to talk about that but you know let's say bite by December Baltimore is. Out of it or let's say you know Philadelphia out you know you just never know and those games could -- different to which they do right now but -- the -- game is related to one Kia yeah agreed. Craig is in South Carolina -- Craig how you embody."

[1:04:03]" I don't -- doing a great great great what's happening today well actually I hadn't planned on probably until you heard my voice -- I that's as."

[1:04:15]" You email a few minutes ago help I mean you know like most very loyal and you know. 30 some odd years and then and then and it just killed me you know listen everybody out there -- acres. You know just slammed politics and hours sit here watching TV in the ago in. I'm at the end it got outside the lines and they do well and shock and then absolutely yeah. And sent an -- Forward you know a year. Rehabilitation and the and you know and it sells former and retired players. -- basically. Just being denied claims -- you yeah."

[1:05:02]" I don't know I saw Craig I saw that the special on Costas now on HBO. -- ran the last couple weeks all about how -- shall continue to get hammered by former players older players in the you know that were in the league. Because of the pension plan is -- not so much the pension plan to the players realized that you know hey we may have been there in the past. And it it's not really you know the the current players -- that the money is what it is now as opposed when they were playing what the really the four players to rafter or. Is health benefits and you know -- disability benefits because of guys like Earl Campbell who was really want to my heroes in and one a -- players of all time and I think a lot of the veteran leadership guys that gene Upshaw played with. Feel like he has turned their back on them. And he -- you know garbage to them right now and so -- prominent hot and heavy after him and it. After Roger Goodell you know for a league that makes -- gazillion dollars and not you know turning anything back to the people who laid the foundation literally. They're bones in their muscle in their sweat their blood."

[1:06:10]" Exactly well based on what I -- I have seen the last ten or 15 minute. This senate and absolutely slammed good -- it'll be on the end and at Doral. Tonight but they had you know NFL a lot of players Stanley numbers testified. Several hundred people testify today and won -- diners. Senators -- he's he's used to sit those cheers like there. How can you get word from you know doctors said this man has a very serious problem in there and you're you're group send them to a doctor and they don't even a look at the brain scan and -- denied their claim. How can you do is sit there and caught yourself officials make it at all over."

[1:07:01]" Welcome hernia responses. What do they sent out or the responses well in this."

[1:07:08]" like well realize we have some problems and and word you know attempting to make improvements I mean did good gale sayers -- Every big star you can think of from back in the day it was they're just on the job."

[1:07:22]" I think that it causes. Long since -- to -- I think there are many many players that certainly deserve to have some kind of a you know a benefit like that you know -- pension -- It's a little hard for me to argue that one but I certainly think the you know the of the of the wellness benefits. You know in the disability pay as something that you've you've got to do for these guys."

[1:07:43]" Yeah and -- there out -- Hopefully you'll hear more from the -- on back on board here with John you know given -- yeah maybe you know -- the John needs needs my help certainly not. But I to beyond that your new."

[1:08:03]" Thanks thanks Greg appreciate that by the late 5437482 finally five point 37482. Note Greg though that you get blown up like here until after you were already done with took the initiative hung up yourself and they are very smart outlet mall last week off. On Damon and over right what's the deal with Daunte. But I had this in the first a program Wellemeyer gave my. Thoughts on when I thought Daunte would actually you know work his way into the lineup -- the more privately he says he's been super quick and it seems well like monster and Welker our taking all the thunder. Is gone they going to be the JD Drew retrieval. --"

[1:08:46]" Well first of all he has to play a little bit more than 80 Drew -- the Red Sox yes it definitely will not be the JD Drew because if if Donte' Stallworth has a disastrous year he's gone and they know why -- five year guaranteed contract yourself. Now -- up aura that up I'm not sure what are you still are you -- you know there are one short your perspective wise I think -- all our. Is going to have in unbelievable breakout game. Maybe this week against buffalo I city's total and the reason is is because teams now Brian. They get it they see that you don't you know what I guess Randy -- still has -- look that we gotta bring somebody else and double cover -- I said after the dad. The game against the jets last week went went -- just dismissed members secondary is that it was you know any box out there I said. -- once the jets -- certainly a disadvantage because. Randy moss was a complete unknown as far as what you can do patriots played a pre season game. He had missed the month of practices no one knew how quickly he could click with Tom Brady and we certainly plenty wide receivers over the years who acknowledged that there's a -- he can't just jump into the system and -- with Brady and Reche Caldwell did a pretty good job last year but it was still took a little took little while -- after a jets game. That one of these upcoming weeks teams will realize okay reading mosque in patriots uniform is for real and we're going to have to make -- we double team him. In the jets game Stallworth in March on the field or in full time together one of these weeks they're going to be on the field together a whole lot. And one of the deep fences is going to take. Extra precautions are reading mosques and Stallworth is going to be open is going to have a rainy -- like I really believe that now. Will -- active in the year same as possibly at a peak years moss probably not I don't know he's as good players -- probably isn't. But I think one of these upcoming games he's going to have the big game off an -- the two catches for."

[1:10:41]" the obvious thing to point out is the fact that they could have been an a lot of the traditional two tied into running backs that and so when you don't when you have -- tight end blocking and you have. You know fullback in the backfield you've only got room for two wide outs so they go to you know empty backfield. Or they go to one backs that you -- received three wide outs in the game and stands to reason he's obviously -- draws your attention he has."

[1:11:03]" Some other form it's been fascinating things they've done that first drive of the game you know huddle saint personnel entire time. For seven Brady was the only the with a one. Incompletion was just that -- year diagnosed -- daughters Nancy recovered all that are. But even more fascinating is what they're doing with Kyle Brady right now. And -- in those two guys up. Generally in the right side and you get a sexually three tackles like that together catcher -- and Kyle Brady calvary is tight end but. He's virtually the size of attack on the united frauds and purposely -- you get those three guys out there. And boy does that cause some problems repeat that defensive front of them might not know what's coming it's a great job blocking and then it there was some you know. Three -- ample lineup with a right then Brady going emotion everybody thinks what they're there right there right now against you get two tackles on once I get a -- tight and left tackle on the site where. Some fascinating stuff and with what we we able scene you know to the expert at this point third I think I do think all or is going to have a a breakout game there recent Mark with a -- from new -- his guys wondering if you think we're on a crash course the Indianapolis Colts game in November we we expect. Regardless of whether the patriots are defeated -- that week of the colts -- to -- one loss to los. Short of one of the two teams. Go on it and it into a free for all and he to a seven on that week which I don't envision. It doesn't matter people -- whatever that's gonna be the NFL team of the year because everyone dismisses the NFC -- not really contender for the Super Bowl and -- The results it. It is kind of true so far Watters and that's going to be the biggest gain and an actual -- either a crash course -- some big games before that they'll be some big effort but. -- it achieved a rematch we know the history between two teams and they'll probably be the two best teams -- a crash course that Catherine senate and I wanted to and that I would think that you probably want to leave you know around that they -- watch. -- Wisconsin says you trinity -- mentioning the of bill Simmons article I thought it was excellent so she's -- it too is that they'll think that you see we'll go to try to and a I happened and I know you're before I came on -- Gregg -- I'm still trying to catch a woman Monday morning quarterback now. Haven't quite -- Tuesday morning quarterback yet but. Easterbrook and Simmons -- to lie to columnists on my weekly must read anyways so I wrote gets"

[1:13:36]" it was basically. He's been some time kind of lambasting NBC for trying to blow out in -- camera gators he calls it we call it video gates by game what you call here in hammering Chris Collins Wirthlin fact is is that he brought up some real good common sense points. Later in the article to be haven't had a chance to -- go to his. Column stuff audience beyond dot com let's see here he says -- a couple of things let's see. Couple of things you brought a while -- ones like fundamentally got talked at least rook. One of the items he brings up is is there -- chance just chance villages and little paranoid in his old age. And an undermanned jets team play them closely and all three pats jets -- a season he spent the spring and summer wondering. Event -- figured out a way to steal their signals it is edited tape their coaches in week one to see if that was true and they got caught it. I think that present and I wouldn't put that past. Us and I say the collective us I wouldn't put that past anybody here because you know it's almost like the sneaks out out think in the sneaks. And just like he wanted to take the coaches this if they knew what our signals were."

[1:14:47]" I'll refer a little life that's exactly it taken the next -- caught -- always. Whatever the motivation wise to duties and they got caught and I you know right what whatever the motivation wise whether it was they know we do -- we know they do that it so what do I don't know but you know -- That -- thing -- conspiracy a conspiracy theories. Play out it will you know there are out they are found guilty of what they were accused -- doing it."

[1:15:13]" Here's the other one -- is their chance Roger Goodell is doing the I'm leaving no stone unturned routine because he's so determined to show everyone there's a new sheriff and down. And because it's becoming more more obvious the previous administration was asleep at the wheel on anything and everything except the next TV deal."

[1:15:30]" Well he's definitely proving he's the net you're sharp out I don't think it's all walked investigation if it does if it does happen has anything to do with that I think -- I think he has proven. On -- to win including last Thursday's announcement of what the discipline it would be for the patriots that. He's new sheriff in town in a 500000 dollar fine as the maximum out for you -- higher than a first round pick off and short of the suspension which we've heard. You know debate on he's proven he's new sheriff in town regardless so this followup investigation I don't think that it's him try to you know really hope it's down. At a yard --"

[1:16:05]" So the other paragraph that I actually happen to agree with this is where you know I think that bills haven't actually pretty much is an island and he says. Since they've already paid a steep penalty for one time in discretion can we move on with a 2007 NFL season police. Is everyone done piling on competing in the -- to see who can seem the most disgusted and outraged contest. As a Massachusetts reader named sidewinder emailed me on Friday. He scored his I can't believe how hysterical Peter King shouted on WEEI -- talk about belichick's discreet indiscretions. Talk about getting his skirt open a bunch how dumb as Peter King. This guy does this guy realize sports is that toy department of life save the righteous indignation. Indication for the 9/11 anniversary of the waste of a generation in Iraq. See that's the thing it's sports people cheat people do bad things people make mistakes it's just like realized. Only it doesn't matter nearly as much."

[1:17:01]" I think it's fair game bingo I think their team to take this seriously I don't think anyone start say that this is more important then. How is Kevin Everett doing I mean there's definitely things with -- outside of football that are more important in this but. We've been the scope of of the NFL I don't think it's unfair for people take seriously never yup that league personnel. You know so having an an opinion on this. Is trying to your mind because a lot of people have their lives depending on a lot of people working -- their life and -- I don't think. They're going to say that nothing else in the world is more important in this. Both in the scope of the NFL it's important and it scared to have. Strong opinions now as to the question of will this ever died down willow you know will we keep on hearing people's -- off about this. It will -- it'll start to -- down tomorrow because I think it's run its weekly NFL cycle now. By right now. I don't think -- I don't think it's going to stop because we're still at the patriots are doing well or actually at the start to do -- we're going to hear about all year. And we're really going to hear about next April when the draft comes around in -- 31 -- so then it's never going to really died now. And it may still be lingering but not good although we still have one of those 31 we still have one of the 31 why you know but I. I think that. It will we won't be hearing from all the national columnist beyond today -- tomorrow. Like Peter King Tuesday morning quarterback -- that last Monday Tuesday it wasn't really is really hadn't hit big yet. Let them get their might get weekly -- out of their way let them give their opinion on it and then we'll move on to football why I think it get it out how."

[1:18:51]" Pratt in germantown Maryland says if someone had brought up Stallworth. I really can't wait to see both him and moss being utilized as a Harrison Wayne combo. That would be explosiveness of Randy moss is more than impressed me as a guy who really wants to play hard to win. I haven't seen him playing this well since his viking -- certainly is a lot left in the tank my question is after this year do you think it is reasonable -- thank. Either Randy moss Stallworth will remain with this team next year. I don't Randy moss is a clear cut one year deal however this tandem moss and stalwart helps major league in winning a Super Bowl this year I think military -- should consider bringing them both back next season this way we can match of the colts and give them -- real fight each time we played them."

[1:19:32]" I mean obviously to really say you know -- happen between now and I met that were march on but I think that you know. From -- each one individually as he said Stallworth has long term contract year. It's like five or six years however there's a trigger next march -- the patriot base at the an option I think now works to trigger at the rest of the deal. Most likely that doesn't happen. What could happen is a restructured contract with him now moss on the other hand. Bomb you know. -- deal will be up is that right. Dollars -- one guy I mean all game I -- an athlete eats away I don't think so yeah it's it's unlikely that they'd both be back. Under what their current deals right -- that would adding we have restructured -- restructuring. And you know. I think if people are fitting in -- both realized that being here is the best for their careers and they. Then they could say if people have very good years and one or both of them side if -- if if they get the point where they're able to make the decision means the patriots don't regret the rest -- their deals. That they want to test the market. If people if you -- the private blown away by other offers so it's hard to say right now idea if everything goes well this year. And they're both hitting and and Brady love -- and -- it wasn't happy. There's certainly a way -- at one report could come back. I'd be surprised -- come back on big deals but. You know who knows what -- are here and we enjoy this year just ultimately I mean -- see what's out there because of the ball go nuts this year -- like your -- want to do something somewhere else to restructure where you can bring both guys it exactly if all working perfectly and -- away you can keep going for the year he would do that but. Yeah I -- too early to talk about that"

[1:21:19]" Canada Huntington Beach, California says first off the greatest -- the patriots phase right now is getting lazy complacent. Another good at staying focused and dedicated but with -- as dominant as they are if the patriots may have a hard time getting psychologically ready for every game. Other teams are going to be targeting the pass after these first two weeks in all it takes is one game. In -- the patriots let it get into their heads will beat this team easily. The that maybe you know what's wrong with 15 and one. I don't know at what they do it as I'm concerned what's wrong with 14 to 13 in threes as -- you one of the top two seeds right preferably the -- the top two."

[1:21:57]" are obviously are obviously the goal. And you know you'd you don't want to be -- it'd division winner ever being the third or fourth it is not be satisfactory result but what. Let's face it we we don't get -- they're. If they slip up once. And they don't concentrate or let's say they have like -- a Monday Night Football game on the road which they have twice and -- have to come back for a short week to play. Young upcoming team needed a compliment to buy the previously there -- certain factors were they might. You -- might not be there might not win every single week but we don't have to you know beat down on them because of that. I don't think the complacency is going to be a problem I think there's other -- they're playing another team every week will be pumping -- played them so. If they lose a slip up that might not be because they're complacent could be because the other team when what you know Rodrigo. I I honestly think that the development last week. Will provide that extra. Chip on the shoulder every time a guy like Tedy Bruschi years Hines Ward or Donovan McNabb. Something even if it's in jest about where's my ring from 2005 -- were -- or they cheated we. Every time some of these -- hear things like that. The motivation they need to not be complacent and win at all I think that I think that's really get the motivation if needed"

[1:23:16]" can continues by saying the toughest game this season. It is December ninth against the Steelers. Pittsburgh looks amazing and has always been a quality club everyone says -- is a big game I truly believe that the patriots will revert to their previous ownership of the -- It Steelers are loaded that would obviously be one yeah I'd be one you have to look at and slightly crazy about the Steelers houses and ravens to Pittsburgh looks pretty good -- look pretty good you don't put too well that pretty good so."

[1:23:43]" Detroit would play Oakland Minnesota I mean -- Cleveland and buffalo can't get ahead of ourselves but I think Pittsburgh's baranov I think Pittsburgh is good I mean I think I think they're good team I think that they. Hey guys you know. Maybe they really are responding to -- coach and they do have some key guys were Super Bowl team and it got talent on. They're not one of the top teams that I -- Vermont says while I was just looking over the schedule this morning I see two teams that make it was trouble Pittsburgh. And the colts but it seems like it to me love that -- Stevens never my on the offense mr. moss mr. Brady wow Indian Vermont. And and another nearly simple way to look at things even at their 14 two years the patriots have never gone on. It's vision somewhere. We are like that -- this year you'll likely candidate that at Miami but let's just keep in mind that. You know when you -- teams twice a year in some cases three times a year as good as you might be. They're you know there are some other factors I think you play what you played division team. And they know you really well you know famine and and that could be you know they've never know what's. Just remember that we did I did say that you know that I thought if there were going to lose division this year would be am -- and has traditionally the toughest -- for the right like they've already beaten the jets the jets and their not lose at buffalo and going to happen I don't think Alou is now the buffalo really organized we are going to hear starting tomorrow and through Friday. Is who struggle in buffalo you're gonna hear this you know relatively speaking did you do you beat them at home by one couple points for player this season it was a fumble return for I am sure you struggle against them. You -- And that will be some -- historic -- going on J. P. Losman started pitching -- have the right people you know when they don't have the -- they called in -- had -- yet but I think -- party started you know after -- you have you have a tragedy. Actually also lost two or was three guys in your starting secondary for the year they lost. Ko Simpson I think it's 18 he's one of the starting cornerback Webster and got first. They were absolutely you know just wrap week after week one and then. You know loosen it it was pretty badly we do. It can't be a good situation I had heard you comment -- but that's going to be a team."

[1:26:04]" Much -- fund which -- in Denver, Colorado says I'm so glad to hear your outrage at the bonehead comments on coach Belichick and cetera. Other Jimmie Johnson said it best when he said the people of collective amnesia when talking about spike gate since many people do what the pads didn't. By the -- Jimmie Johnson. And Barry switzer old admitted it -- the same things that archer right. The vilified the vilification he says that coach -- has gone through forget about it it's all personal. Well done I agree Miami gives Brady fits that is the loss on the road that's what surface. And to what I said just like -- kind of recap for those that -- not -- it is is that. Came off the top of the show basically lambasting a couple bonehead that he has -- threw up on -- you know the year NFL Sunday set. A particular Steve young and Emmitt Smith Nam huge cowboy fan from way back you know Venezuela. And I don't think there was there's very few running backs may be. It may be economical one or two in the history of the NFL -- better really than Emmitt Smith. How Stephen -- Smith will say I think I think they're both ignorant fools. For you know calling the patriots out like they bulls' bid without knowing anything about the subject coming you know the thing that they actually picked up the phone. And called guys in that locker room there's nobody in the locker that would give them the time -- number one. Number two on probable that okay. Let's remember that Emmitt Smith was a partisan Dallas teams like say we're a little less than clean."

[1:27:31]" It -- The same time Jimmy Johnson another station was admitted yeah -- just exactly image is that you know we did the same things about when we win a Super Bowl back there hello and that's. Hello I'd -- you know what did you go the cocaine snorting parties would Michael Herman talent and a little less blow this time you know. And then of course Steve young he was a part of you know the salary cap mismanagement or -- disco they made it once and titles but it certainly. Wrecked the franchise for a few years thereafter did it not what. Like and -- Jimmie Johnson Gary switch off you've got to figure what is their motivation to not be on -- truth about not just -- on the bandwagon and making you know it's sanctimonious. You know sappy comments that you know sound good for TV and help them feel better about themselves and put that on a pedestal when all it's really doing is showing their out not ignorance and I said it then and I will say it now. You should never listened to what Steve young or Emmitt Smith. Have to say for the rest of the season because they don't. No there there because their former players so they want to talk about what it's like when it's in the huddle or what it's like to call a certain player how to react or. That's fun. -- they're telling you about what's going on in the locker room homer if they're telling you about how something should happen you know because -- the right thing to do. Bull -- What did and what did the cells have guys. Anything that I was watching but the Bill Parcells I listen to Parcells on the radio show on right now is that he -- more Chris -- Johnson from bullets and I actually thought bill. I don't want to -- soft penalty. But he did he and he Sean actually I mean Chris did his best to be the journalist and try to play the issue right now in the middle. He after -- as the one that broke the story any champion conduct come to begin with a week ago. And so you know he was trying to get them to go into it I think they both they didn't defend coach Belichick. But what they did do is explain that the of these types of things do happen. And you know them."

[1:29:36]" Coach Parcells basically was well you know they got caught doing. And that's and that's it he really didn't vilify him he didn't really go out of his way to say he shouldn't have done it. And it really lot of land say it's prevalent -- He's these kind of things do happen. He's at the patriots were obviously kind of in their face with a here that's probably the biggest mistake in mid may was you know being cut open with -- and being someone -- and I think. We can all agree here. If the patriots really made a mistake it was in their you know. This interpretation of this rule and the alleged arrogance that goes along with continuing to do when they knew that was wrong to begin with Wright and or against the rules shall I say to begin --"

[1:30:14]" Any team that might you know have some guys who know practices right up into right. Right well. That thought you know he didn't really I didn't really -- I wanted to hear what coach Parcells had to say on on -- show on for -- has -- radio and it actually you know wasn't totally unsatisfying it was pretty much what I thought it would actually be but I was curious to know of he would from under the bus and he really didn't Howard -- Norwich, Connecticut what a great game it couldn't come at a better time to shut up all the whining nannies about the whole video -- incidents. Sure looks like this offseason free agent hall is that the go down in history is the best ever moss more of walker Thomas wash in all contributing in big ways. I can't say enough about the players and fans outpouring of respect and admiration for coach Belichick if you make mistakes certainly. But for everything he -- done for this franchise he deserves a pass on this one he got caught accepted his punishment let's move on. As for the first loss the only team I should impossible losing to the -- and however with the animosity and I am certain good politics feels toward the -- I would love to see the -- backed down the world champs in the own home. I actually hope they run the score up on every team they play this year -- was 16 you know the you know playoffs. All that said the -- game in Miami is concerned but after the first two weeks hoops at the wrong -- you know there Leo that is less of -- concern one question agreed John my son and I will be making our annual pilgrimage to Gillette the Cleveland game. Does he considers -- from one from -- wrote and from where it is and from Connecticut. -- Levi Connecticut around 545 yeah an -- these -- slugger regulars coming from Connecticut point. Yet pack launch -- in -- today trip read it here knowing I grit our growers and you get here if if it's longer than you don't want our. It's gotta pack a lunch around -- right."

[1:32:05]" When you got a lineman sized home. Gillette stadium if you field he's quiet way I thought I might -- back what patriots gridiron -- now."

[1:32:16]" I -- NFL these points are nice thing to have also get the pregame on Felix -- very cool he's heard you talking about the traffic is it better to come from the north on route one than the south doesn't make any difference -- Well yeah I helicopter or be preferable all but short of that Howard yes definitely goal. I would -- continued northward on 95 get off on exit nine. Rusty coming from the north coming from the northern they're adding on your on route one traveling out in -- heading on route one traveling south back down toward the stadium he want to go buy it you know. You want to get off on 495 -- the worst thing you want especially in the structures four point five which maybe you'll be construction on Sunday morning but it's right. But for -- the construction golf operated here David as a private would have anyways it is here here court Craig's note -- recalled in -- but here's part of what he had this bases. -- thoroughly convincing win Sunday night Stallworth has always been a big play guy so he has had some exposure on ESP somebody has never been a 60 or 70 reception a year ago. On who wants the ball more well get open. And you know what you know have a chance if other teams decide they have -- stop Randy moss have been like okay we're not going to let moss beat us exactly wrote -- somebody else."

[1:33:32]" Does he get open type of that receivers going to get opened the way Wes Welker does probably not but. -- he's got single coverage consistently he's going to get oh I think I think Stallworth is going to get open. And it's going to help 11 mosques desire went one mosques as a safe your to shadowing him as well"

[1:33:50]" he says looking at the schedule the road game at Indy will be our biggest test but I think we outmanned Indy this year mom and then -- schism. Wake up San Diego it was not a nightmare we actually -- your -- are what you think of that line from mom anchorman. Go bleep myself and Diego I. We need to run Byrd thank you very much I'm very good let this one comes from I can't make up the name okay. Andy and -- feel okay morsel Vermont oh what Vick did was against the law bill broke the rules which would you call worse and we all know. They're not the only team to bend the rules -- know they'll that's one of the Super -- panthers in 3 wood jacked up on steroids. But I suppose that's an even playing field they -- cheating how many teams do you think begin to shred Vernon dispose of their video collections. Just a question. I -- more than one. More than -- quarter every -- unnoticed now you thought it was a first round pick that are more than one. On the -- in Roxbury mass. Can someone please crack espn.com -- Gregg easterbrook over the head with his theory that the patriots pretty single -- according of the article. Introduced cheating to the NFL as a result will be responsible for the imminent demise in credibility and revenue in the NFL. It has to be the most absurd thing I've heard of his late. Well -- we've said we've -- guys likewise on the with the territory now yes he is he's a complete and total -- knuckle on -- good -- the only issue I can currently take with him is issuing emergency orders and threatening fines and sanctions on public television. Before the team heard or had a chance to respond of the request he only serve to provide fodder for an additional flurry of reports articles news radio items about the whole controversy. Now he made the request in the team was stalling or being non responsive -- understand but as it stands now that he acted professionally making statements on Sunday. He's going to be facing his own you know music with the whole veterans committee passed away hello John -- from Alex in Somerville Italy. What's your take on the play by the offense -- line with a wider set of -- patterns that were full horrible against speed rusher like -- on Sunday not necessarily. Com just because of the wider set of the patterns. I think actually got the speed where the receiver can actually get open quicker which means I don't. Believe that the offensive line has to hold their blocks as long which is precisely why I believe that they have the success they did in particular against the jets."

[1:36:31]" You know that touchdown against the jets from loss I mean I was a legit deep ball. I knew what to deep ball I mean to touchdowns at -- copy of -- date -- deep ball I mean those were you know insight -- want to. Or around you know in in in the 20s on an mosque in the mental side by receiver cornerbacks quicker than most receivers can't I think that heavily affected your ability get opened quicker but -- I think it's offensive line has been tremendous I think Kyle Brady is a big part of that round talent. Playing tight end line -- tight -- big part it. And I even think I like -- Evans and I and -- boxer Fokker mixing a couple of but it may not role he has much but they've gotten great protection I think Italy. I think that there there at the plate receivers actor but not -- most of this is the office why. The wood isn't ready to listings to look really good. Yeah she's 40 polishing 40 something is Sharon and that's what it was supported well or the year that the the year I think that. Yeah breaks that -- that idea the year if -- magazine cover what is 99 times so he ripped off into the US definitely in her 30s I was an early third death then just getting about 40."

[1:37:42]" So I think she's probably 40. -- zone toward that yet early 40s -- am 40 -- that was pretty doggone good about you know that sorry we've just got sidetracked here in Italy has been news. I'll women's World Cup -- links in that campuses I think the -- to lose one late season game if everything is wrapped up in the basically sit their starters so the giants will go one and 15 and the winning as -- their entire highlight reel from season. But you know I I get the point yet."

[1:38:17]" Yet you never know some of those number game if your opponents are wait for the if their cars are already warmed up and win it. Drive away and they in my I mean happy planet yet the level that they keep."

[1:38:29]" you know very true arm. -- you give us a little bit of an idea them on loan you know give us the presence -- patriots today is all about who those might not have. You know I had a chance to you know sample the wares and sort of repackaged format this year right -- at -- news -- yes well."

[1:38:47]" Korea well for those were familiar with patriots video news slash patriots today -- a game it is bigger its heyday -- you know break bigger back but it would certainly. It was I don't bigger and better. More involved more news more features more highlights more everything. Christina -- is is the host she's doing a tremendous job he's up here from off from Florida and fax over you know. Played people accusing her especially in the last couple days been in the 50s I think are ready or. Nervous about going to react come November December we'll see Giambi don't elect sidelines in the parker -- I didn't think he'll avoid the sidelines as much as possible but no where I work covering the team every day we get new show every day on. You know off. 20 minutes show every day at least -- minutes were really cranking them out. And -- you know we've got a lot more on the -- you know coverage of games you come to expect covering every day. -- report every day covering the team preview upcoming game. Covering the previous game we've got great features as well some things that you'll see you don't pitches deep hatred I'll act that's for instance or some the other shows that are. There aren't five it that are produced out here in the great features we have gone on yesterday -- to a details Thomas -- now -- so were really you know it's a policy. Place to come through to follow the team wherever you are and we got a lot of listeners on these shows or around the country even the world. And die you know come check us out if you if you want you to a did you feel the patriots every day on Monday to Friday whereas all the games -- press conference right every locker obsession rather practice in you know. Reported all puke all part of the patriot patriots home network today -- don't puts over gathright whoever -- it too I mean you know we've we've we've we have a good time we hope that portrayed on the -- got a lot of people working on -- shows these days even as we speak and down. You know we've we I mean urge you to check out. Excellent now on to buffalo shots of -- awful I."

[1:40:54]" On the buffalo similar because I think we put San Diego in the rearview -- the pressure that some what does sufficiently here today Vietnam. The bills come and oh with the you know I I definitely think they played with a heavy hearts last week the whole Kevin -- Everett Everett thank you Kevin -- story it's wonderful to hear that you know there's some movement and ball. That you know he seems to be on his road recovery even though it wildly probably be somewhat difficult for him it's it's -- story that obviously seems to have a better ending the what was once yeah when doctors were saying yeah nobody CO you know all of quadriplegic situation come up here. That aim instead what it would balance sort of also -- and the -- were happy that he's you know apparently you know got a chance to recover. Completely where he can actually walk -- good news the jewels on the field do have some problems. And it's pretty evident right now that the offense is struggling."

[1:41:52]" Yeah he -- struggling I think Marshawn Lynch is approved the real dynamic player on the what he's not him he'll -- self we have great wide receiver keen to now I mean yeah a couple of huge gains last year but. They can conceded they must be looking for for -- And evidence just not there at all. They spent whole Lotta money on their offensive line and I don't know I've watched the game close that -- all that's the problem. On but I think he really felt that some of the system he's and problems that they had in the last couple years on offense need you as a result -- our line is as good idea and they went big bucks on line. I don't know if that's working yet and like you. There were some -- that game against Denver they were winning the tiger game up until the last second elastic energy you -- field goal. During 19 he want to hear one of your players one of your you know family members there's one team like they refer to -- Being not just carted off but it -- ambulance not moving idea you know. It's one thing to move on in the coming days really -- okay. You know we support our player were were our team it would -- it and visit him we're getting ready for -- game. As a happy he's wheeled off the game is gone and if 2035 seconds later the play clock. You know you gotta get you gotta keep -- tough situation yet they still almost beat. -- yell at the Denver Broncos mean so you gotta give a little meaning asterisk there -- a game they almost one Anderson we act that was -- game. You know like we talked about earlier I don't think Pittsburgh is as good as they've looked so far not what they're decent team and both look up blown out didn't look good in the process but you know. They've played pretty good teams they almost 11 of them bomb. I wouldn't write them off as a and as I'm writing them off as far as playoffs and all that. I think -- could be a team that could win a couple team I don't think the lack count they've gotten blown away by injuries -- couple weeks aside from Kevin Everett. On I happen to think that this may have been a year which J. P. Losman does open some eyes so far not so much. Armed shortly writing them off of this weekend and writing them off when it comes that aren't they playing in January I don't think -- miserable. And -- answers these first couple weeks have been. Out of the have a shot this weekend but. Not -- hope. I think for -- I'm I'm I'm him I'm I'm amused because I think you're trying to convince yourself what is it -- and not work in. They're not they're not good. They're not good but I think -- teams were to an all but it being miserable teams might end up being worse shape than buffalo won the I don't know possibly buffalo does have four games against Miami in the New York jetBlue. I don't I'm not sure we those three teams are relation to each other there are all pretty that but that. The -- worse than the temple the jets and dolphins."

[1:45:03]" I mean you know I don't know I I really can't make a judgment yet on the dolphins. Yet I I'm not sure about that I don't I think the jets public I was saying -- divisions. -- I'm animated program today by this sort of they'll bring here but it didn't credits what's not a total complete -- but this comes from mom. Chris price who coverage for the the patriots from metro news in Boston on the from Boston news well Soledad -- good stuff -- it actually I I I liked it so much that I wanted to. You know. Bring a copy of an -- and kind of go over some of the what he has is the ten things we learned he says last night or talking about Sunday night's game against the chargers and I actually thought it all pretty much -- summed it up you know kind of summed it all -- saw wanted to give Chris pricing in the credit here but for those that might not have seen it I wanted to share with the audience and especially since many people are outside of New England area that probably didn't get a chance to see this. Our number one. He says in no particular order by the way. Here are ten things we learned about the patriots in the 3814 win over the chargers number want no one's circled the wagons better than the patriots. Which is absolutely trees as national audience on. Anxious to see how they would react after one of the more difficult weeks in the history of the franchise the patriots were -- to make a tremendous statement. Dominating one of the most talented teams in the NFL and causing linebacker Tedy Bruschi to even say. Because of everything that happened it was the most satisfying when he's -- the patriots and we are now he's had at least three other satisfying wins and is yet. Yeah where your -- your hand you got -- without the hardware group activity is that you -- and he did it so that tells you. What these guys who thanked him in the locker room with a tell he Indies or you often hear from patriots played one thing he said was. This was different. This week was different he had made it right which you don't always know number two. Number two. Yeah right yeah like Gary says Wright Gary just idea about coming back from a stroke and number two getting out to a fast start against the chargers turns them into a completely different team. On -- there's any doubt about that. That is not a team that you come from behind on that is a team that has to get out front itself. And they don't do very good job come from now number three last night is why the patriots got a -- Thomas. Well you know we surmised that a bit in the offseason after they made the move. That you know at the very least we think Thomas wouldn't do well envision him being an edge rusher. So I think what we thought he could do the very least an appeal to match up with some of the preeminent tight ends. In the NFL. And that -- you know that pretty much to me means that well not -- split on the inside he's going to get a chance really match up of those tight ends. And even -- we saw Antonio Gates grab a couple. He didn't really do you do any over damage and of course he did step right in the passing lanes at one point. In return once 65 yards and there's no way guy it's 270 pounds like that deserve to have a motor like he."

[1:48:03]" The way he ran back that interception for a touchdown what is it what is -- You have to wonder it's just I don't show him -- I once joking once I'm really not want to put him in blocking fullback. This -- if you -- out at five years old is doing -- If junior's -- lineup there if obviously free -- has has has done his share below and they'll some foreign walk. These -- junior if not but I'm just trying to make the point that. -- Thomas how scary will that be the date he lines up at full Becker tied it. Media doesn't happen because what have Richard Seymour couple years ago he lined up at full back but how intriguing that. Right number four it was a good week to be -- New England linebacker indeed just wasn't just Thomas became a big Colvin had a great game he reloaded it was another solid effort for the -- an offensive line it was -- and that was with one of their starters out. Even -- When it comes to run blocking the patriots still put most of the trust in the left side of the opens and -- still very true. On number seven in the battle of number one receiver against number one cornerback Randy moss beats -- will face it. Number one quarterback for his team Quentin Jammer is not -- meat of the felt I wouldn't I don't know OL and he's at Texas longhorn a wouldn't put him there right. If they -- if the patriots had Champ Bailey in the Denver Broncos on schedule network pocket you know. Number one quarterback lineup against rating -- you know debt -- must give Quentin Jammer or -- Florence who was lineup against him on second touchdown. I think it must most days. Number eight the worst of the three areas for the patriots was special teams the one weakness right now the one weakness right now it -- The weakness it's a little -- concern however they were not -- into -- last year two outs -- recovered so. You know. Let's see if that really is a problem so far that's the only area are some that are. 80 putt music or maybe not when you're only twice come crying to Italy India you don't -- it considered you don't you know enough not."

[1:50:13]" San Diego is still missing. Something."

[1:50:18]" There's a little there's a little some some -- still missing from San Diego and I know that there will be some haters probably still is all -- turner full. You know he somehow is committed screw this up when he was basically handed a championship caliber team right. On the one and well let's see how they do it another three to four weeks have been rip off you know threw for a -- then we'll see if there's the missiles on the but. But the first two weeks anyway you can say well. They don't seem to be the same name out there were dominant last year they just don't seem to be the same thing. And number ten and I and I and I say I think the best for last year. And so does Chris -- by the way the fans were heard. The fans were earlier about when they gave don't sell tickets 25 minute ovation when they chanted -- Sox twice -- may become an Asian abomination yet no fans were idea that was what is -- the few times I actually remembering in the five now a little over five year history of the stadium. That how many -- until they decide what is the sickness this year yet so this in little I felt -- years believe that and don't start David Campbell it -- or sixth year here but in this time I remembered. Few crowds that were as. Electric is boisterous as emotionally charged as this crowd was. It was -- it was our job I wasn't here for Brazil Mexico last Wednesday night but that it -- 67000 here on out. Shocking that was that was on the actually know what shocked me. I mean you know it's just that the info you know I don't speaks Spanish in English please. Griffith is that doesn't surprise me brilliantly through don't this one of heavy Hispanic soccer influence is was."

[1:51:54]" A this isn't that the crowd was into it as much agree with you had you know like it was won -- playoff game and they -- or you know those notes dot championship -- feeling night against Oakland in and I Indy. When a dad for the openers Thursday -- openers it was -- pretty good -- so. This is pretty pretty impressive. And in the want to plug a -- well I mean we got our our our show today talking about Hale's I was Rosevelt Colvin for one thing we also buys them some pretty stuff we got a guy who's been through -- my sort of knee on the street -- deal of stuff for us and cool -- of that from from -- from from from the crowds find out how stupid our fans -- really hard we don't we don't see it that way at all however can I -- yours. I -- we it's a pretty good stuff from the crowd it was it was some fun times up there's a you know Tuesday as you know as I've come on the show in the past to Tuesday that -- where we still have some left over stuff in the previous game but before it to the next game but. There's never shortage of of story lines here with the team so. Tomorrow's playbook glow units who have the locker room will have some conference calls we get -- previewing the but more the pats in the bill's right and we all have something that we have your the -- so. Will be on tomorrow with us at 2:30 PM he's -- Mark also arrested -- yet at castle R and -- so arc Kelso Jack -- is the buffalo news. We know."

[1:53:26]" Okay yeah."

[1:53:31]" Bills dot -- Mark Nelson oh yeah yeah alone duel. Sorry and -- applause Jerry in another multiplayer I will. I apologized to him yes I was yes Mark health so -- I apologize. A thousand times that -- ago but he will join us tomorrow at 230 so a lot of good stuff coming up. Thanks to below thanks to Gary same pastime saying -- channel tomorrow right here in double play."
