[0:29]" Hi I'm -- into another roster of what had cats. An official podcast of the New England Patriots it's not a -- Friday great he had Gillette stadium on October 26. We have Indy -- brought -- Tom -- give you all the seats transactions -- the patriots roster including. The presence of Richard Seymour."

[0:49]" Thanks -- back for another thought Tom roster or not a lot of huge moves going on this week. I think the biggest of which Richard Seymour return to the practice field from the do you feel list began practicing on Wednesday hasn't really talked the media went through the locker room today and declined the opportunity to comment but he back out on the practice field as our Chad Jackson an Eddie Jackson. They are in the second week of their 21 day. Window in terms of the team needing to make a move on them either. Put him and I are for the season or activating them to the roster Troy brown has yet to begin practicing. He is still full fledged on UP and the window has not started yet with him. And one other minor transaction Santonio Thomas defensive lineman. Was waived on Thursday on the ability expo. Vaguely about it the decision on today's press conference and sort of hinted at that Thomas could be backe spent the last couple years on the practice squad. And assuming he clears waivers this sounds like he will be. Brought back all the stuff still in the locker room that he could be on the practice squad as early as later today I think but the inching aspect there is obviously you look at the active roster losing a defensive -- the same week or two days after Richard Seymour. Was activated from -- to begin practicing so Paul do you read into that that Richard Seymour will be added to the active roster"

[2:10]" not I don't necessarily read into it on that position but I do think that Antonio Thomas was one of the guys that left. In preparation for -- march or may not be the media one. And you know we talked a little bit there was -- Eddie Jackson talked today in the press conference well Belichick called an average guy played inside in a -- it is also played outside. At corner some and variety of roles in the kicking game so you got the -- like I was course specialty exactly and you know keep in mind. That a couple of those core special teams guys have been banged up in recent weeks Mel Mitchell missed the last two games Eric Alexander missed. Virtually all of the last two games ago I heard very early in the Dallas game and the Miami game so those two guys that I think -- a lot of the different on teams. And I think Eddie Jackson might be candidates to replace you know one of their roles at least. For the short term but I do think long term media right Seymour for Thomas makes sense -- US."

[3:09]" Bill press conference today about Richard Seymour and his evolution here as he returns to the field. And -- course sort of questioning like a pitch count -- to monitor him -- you bring him back with that in mind and I know a lot of people appointed to be in the game for Richard -- return. Do you expect think or would you want to see him this week against the Redskins. With -- idea of getting some snaps under his belt before the big matchup with the colts yet he's healthy I think that would because the colts they run that. That high octane offense that do no -- article the rabbit huddle and something model -- idea I think it is the -- they don't model but they mosey around it'll give you time to change personnel because there at any point -- line dead when it we have talked -- Rodney Harrison a couple weeks ago how he -- training camp. And in this before games we weren't as concerned with him. -- Seymour he's missed at all -- training camp practices -- wonder what kinda condition is is a year like what kind of process yet to go through. Maybe with other teams they would have explained that he like -- anything -- her is each case is -- little -- and play along very much -- question now now."

[4:14]" He didn't but I agree with Tom I think that. If theory of whistle a song with any of our. Thoughts on who should be activated -- that the players involved are healthy and ready to go. And I agree with Tom I think you'll be quite beneficial to get Seymour some wraps. Before that Indianapolis game before you ask him to play inactive not that it into the world but it does have. A pretty big regular season game I think one could have post season implications I think it would make sense to get Timor if possible -- before they just to get hit the -- the Italy right. Players always say once I got out there guys hitting gated you know is back into the into the groove just for that."

[4:51]" I get double team to have a guy diving -- to try to cut you all that you know his comeback from knee issue you're certainly not going to practice cutting him in practice habits and Heath Evans adamant they chop him down. First time he's going to see that is on the game field and maybe there's some doubts in their mean it's been an injury that's that in sideline now since the end of last season Prime -- bunch of work in the off season program had the procedure all these different things so to get out there to get some guys hit net and just sort of react Theo feels. Be interesting or you you ball believe that Andy Jackson could be activated as early as this week about the other Jackson -- where we see his future going in the next week and a half I definitely can see Janet Jackson and people talked about -- a little bit today too Indy saying that he's making some progress. I think he's a guy that could definitely gets some time in here you know in in the short -- and because. I think that again you know sort of health most inevitably whenever -- talking about these guys enactment organist and they're ready to be activists -- days -- they set a two week injury but. I think Chad Jackson sprain your ankle -- festivities. Frustrated high ankle sprains but -- TCL by -- means but in -- and I think it was. I forget where if it was on the radio show appeared to him progress so which which what are you guys had to -- just. The ability to get Chad Jackson may be some playing time with -- dynamic group. Might be very beneficial for him and and looking ahead a little bit to 8. Conceivably you're not going to have all of these guys back I don't think you can have Mark and we're back with -- obviously -- is on record saying he's been backing up moss he's -- my fault and officials -- to get back if possible and then the last guy Troy brown always starting to think he's not coming back -- his or anything we read into this delayed return he's now the last guy when. A lot of us thought maybe he'd be the first guy I would think if everything stays status quo with no injuries at receiver. I think he might have played his last game for the patriots I don't that's correct I don't know that we had a spot on the team. But I think he -- assuming that things would vote differently maybe they're obesity surgery and he didn't know yeah moss or -- be perfectly healthy put up numbers well could be the perfect fit you know was going to play out perfectly into your -- Right it could anybody have have envisioned my team is successful and I'm talking an always on field off field. Everybody and their brother in the locker room yet having taken a test today industry wide receiver coach at -- stereo it's it worked out. -- obviously -- had won just as -- at all. All that's how it is I'll get to a point three minutes were on the field. Scientists can anybody of any -- it working out to the stand no I mean I think that and bad though with Troy if yeah I didn't play his last game. Well it's a tough way to go out I mean might have been better for him just retire not come back this year and go out. The Phillies still had to a figured based on on the past that. Someone would pull a hamstring have to missed three games and it would be nice to have a guy like Troy brown waiting in the wings by. As a business. No sentimentality in the NFL these days it of course you know you don't want to wish injury but is so what -- capital well or something in the weaker so. Maybe he does game and -- always says that can change on one play -- you are you viewing things 'cause he always put to death in October has always translate to -- in December and if that changes next couple weeks and maybe -- practices and it's activated but as of right now I think you're right there's. Oral form on the roster in the just take the full window they can use it so -- we see Richard Seymour this week next week in the near future he is practicing in."

[8:23]" Jackson Chad Jackson practicing. Could be on the roster as well in the near future -- Thomas off the active roster but to be back in any time on the practice squad so lots of information there. None of that specific and that's going to -- Another patriots dot com -- report back to -- Thank -- I wrapped up and a rocket I asked him -- anyone expressed and go."
