[0:23]" Hi and welcome back from the heat to its roster let podcast official podcast of New England Patriots. Friday October 12 right here -- stadium we have Indy hyped up I'm only give me up on the patriots Austin thank Lorie. Back here to -- stadium -- the patriots dot com roster report. Very exciting week in terms of the roster maneuvering unless your name is Marcellus rivers. Rivers was added to the roster last week then removed when Rodney Harrison was activated to come off his league suspension in play in the game. This past weekend. Then Marcellus rivers was added back to the roster couple days later after watching that game from the press box is stadium. And Chad brown veteran linebacker who we all know Europe patriots dot com we were a little dubious of his existence on the roster for as long as he was here Fred Kirsch famously remembers -- Chad brown getting run over by the Broncos and we all haven't thought much of Brown's playing -- since he's gone. On a minor moves on the practice squad we have quarterback Tim mixed in. Joined the practice squad center pat Ross who some new in the fans might remember from his days as an offensive lineman at Boston College were added in defensive lineman Zach west removed from the practice squad so against the biggest move for a quarter of the way. Would be Marcellus rivers rejoining the team and as he actually make it to a game this time around Paul rolled go. That was my question to you but I'm going to say yet. I he makes the game he plays in Dallas is on the active roster and you've always been a big Marcellus rivers and talked of a lot receive a lot like -- someone but it that's okay. I had and I thought he had a reasonably productive pre season especially considering that he got a late start he came in in August after the camp -- already began. And you know I I thought that he showed -- ability to catch the ball in space and also as a in you know in line blockers so of course you're comparing him to -- while that that might be true but. All so we know the patriots when they have to two tight -- They need to have three tight ends in order to says really properly run that on the when you watch went to in order to run two tight end -- and try to keep up with me now I'm listening you need to have a third -- case you know perhaps did you -- way you don't have to have Ryan Ocala and constantly active so you expect him to active play. And just the third tight end Willie -- I have ice on that to be on special teams and stuff like that is that was the question on people that would Dave Thomas went down rivers came on for the first time would. Could -- Thomas's role on special teams apparently that he needed to -- it was on the roster last week -- that he did a good job and Joshua Cribbs the most dangerous returner in the league record to -- about -- the Sally. He still he's yet they keep guys covered the rivers they get it he's I guess I actually can't focus back by that. Because this is the sixth game of the season Dallas Cowboys New England Patriots this Sunday and after the sixth game of the season do you pay. Teams can begin to activate guys to practice the guys would be in question B Richard Seymour. Troy brown and the Jackson brothers Eddie and Chad. Do you think any or all of those guys could get activated this coming week and what's your expectation moving forward obviously the two key guys Seymour chat and -- While I think Seymour brown probably locks to activated as long healthy I think the the key wanderers Chad Jackson what do you do with him do you bring them in if you do do Gaffney goal how many receivers do you keep. I mean out of all the doesn't look injured to me well I guess Cecil candidate for IR I think Eddie Jackson an intriguing one if he's healthy because he's a -- can add more depth -- the secondary played some safety play quarter. Kind of the veteran guide me like Artrell Hawkins they let go. While that my guess personally is Troy brown and Richard Seymour activated pretty quickly after the window and Chad Jackson and Eddie Jackson get pushed off as long as possible because I think both guys would be emerged in the depth type additions Chad Jackson you have no idea what he could bring to the table so unless you get a a rash of injuries that are -- I don't think you activate him. But you have until the ninth week before you can start practicing them and then you have another three weeks from there -- you could push this as far as the 12 week -- those guys and I don't see why you force yourself into a decision any time before that."

[4:45]" I agree and I think that those things that Tom talked about what Chad Jackson Randy Jackson I think that's actually deal with they'll wait -- part we can't if they're no injuries no serious injuries between now and and I think this goes all the way -- 12 before you get filed termination on the final two I think that Seymour is going to be activated sooner rather than later and then. Troy brown as a matter of you know working the roster to have the best of their ability where I don't think he's healthy could be activated but. They're not going to again for it if they need an extra week or two of him being on UP right. With the way the -- they trade him or is ready and I think he has area you know -- I spoke to him. About three weeks ago and you know. Look a lot of players at the ready to go and I'm not and because Richard said he was okay means he's fine but. All indications are in the it would be that physically he's ready to go I think he gets activated immediately. And Belichick was asked about it in the serious satellite radio appearance here yesterday Thursday. And at both guys have sort of ratcheted up a little bit in in advance that they may begin practicing. And could. You know be activated and maybe even plays you know they could play as soon as the following weekend in Miami Indian -- say more absolutely candidate."

[5:55]" For that because I was told by the PR staff that they are not allowed to be activated until the Monday after the -- game. I believe that's incorrect that with the media relations staff an anemic and the elderly because I I answered the way we -- PFW and I was reprimanded by immediately -- well only to check on that and will update you next week. Roster report we'll have more definitive information or you get an update jumpy if W progress that roster report but. Right now that's going to do for all the -- information out of patriots football weekly another roster Torre never mind back to -- Thanks guys.
