Play from 0:04[0:04]" This season PF WA and progress and -- VFW in progress what you did one little. -- cares about them. Do you love you would that's enough to visibly strained voice -- I don't think that Watson has achieved that part -- propagate. Paul for a -- out. Then it's who's mad. I think singing guys out and ended at the ideas movies parade. Maybe -- man and then he and Andy -- in -- But what would a little -- from as the sisco gold though they'll go -- that might have and the -- is tired but I don't fix them ligament. They share. Tom this out you don't even blame you quit standing confidence in you now you when you. Who knows -- stopped by an analyst Erica yeah. Hello my name is BMW in progress part of the patriots football network."

Play from 1:24[1:24]" Hit that -- progress here on Wednesday afternoon full of pizza full of -- full of media full of a lot of stuff today. At -- at Gillette stadium but not full of a lot of -- coming out of pitchers locker room we'll get to that in a moment Andy heart talks Alley all pro -- you. Minus our leader Freddie parish I think he's emotionally drained after yesterday's performance. And which at various times during the course this show he. Well he drops a whole lot of inappropriate words and nearly dropped the the king of inappropriate words just barely catching himself but. You won't US today -- an eight headphones by the way. I think the better off those words back on the do not say list was at a temporary yeah I would I would I would like to make a motion to put most of those where it's back on the -- not list the guys feel about that. And I'm against. I would not say any of those that I don't sable spreads as a -- he's the right and then you say the monkey see monkey do and is in them -- incessantly to -- the shallow and now all of a sudden you know. We -- issues the of people want giants. Yet it what you fired. Yeah that happens -- I noticed that pattern with this because I just accept him in the patriots there was law like we -- not just the guys -- involved was made for it and yes I'm apparently only want to cause any problem -- running up the score. I think it's classless. Nobody else think it's okay it's just you need to admit that you're -- of course. Well I mean I I think. Now we talked to -- to. Fred my point yesterday it was -- changed dramatically from Sunday. After the game what -- even during the game two when he got on the radio anything like it when I called maligned because he changed system but. We'll get to that and a lot more more importantly what that week we said yesterday we return our attention to the Indianapolis Colts and -- we will do so today. The latest meeting of two undefeated teams in but since the 20s. I think they said I'm going never known remembers when he so certainly I don't think -- any amount of height that you can get through this game that that would be in excess I don't know -- you guys feel about it but I think these two teams the best two teams in football I don't think there's a close third. What what what are the things that we're looking for in this game besides the obvious in terms of the offense but. There us a new cast there's a new cast of characters are both sides Steve how much of a factor you think that's going to be. In a right then well radio patriots got a job again that's web radio patriots dot com I would -- rephrase it a little bit. There's a whole -- secondary in Indianapolis and now a couple of new linebackers Indianapolis where as the patriots have a whole new set of wide receivers. I'm from last year how much of a difference do you think. Those factors make heading into this game -- you know as a light bill ceremony was asked about that. In a few minutes ago but it just kind of have to wait till Sunday to find out. Equipped with or -- find out but obviously it's -- big difference in the entire offenses different for the patriots and but a good chunk of the matchup against the colts the fences in notes. How that plays out I don't know what you mean you guys know but I personally think the patriots are light years -- articles that I think this offense will not struggle against that the interval put up a lot of points but. Built right we'll find out Sunday yeah I think the colts are better but I think the patriots are a lot better than they -- the last time they -- I mean going from. Whoever you know the guys they put in their lightly -- feel better. I mean patriots went from a guy who can't play in the league right now in terms Reche Caldwell as their top receiver to Randy moss I mean that is huge jump."

Play from 5:13[5:13]" The only thing also about the last time -- I thought the colts were -- In the little a little murderous are we out of that game and the patriots -- the lead. I just don't think the -- truly fear the -- one thought because it was such a big game -- they might have been a little plate be in the you know going up -- the patriots but once they come down and paid sort of taken things that was there. They they were five in the last couple times in Foxboro no troubles so I don't think the atmosphere the patriots at all that's why I think the game's going to be close legislate. You have Peyton -- he can do some things against the defense and that's why I think the patriots main motivation for this week which is clearly bill Belcher harping on them. You have been very good against the colts left three times we play him could backfire they lose because then they become. Would you camped -- if you want to harp on it all week -- it's yeah it's kind of a big game and that you know. Three game winning streak for the colts it's just like the Broncos -- the only two teams and have three game winning streak inspector because like I don't we were arguing with Albert that one day and he said that -- patriots vehicle just able beat him the next time that we brought up the Broncos that's -- one team that. -- and is here now I know they don't want to give the colts -- credit but they beat him again now was this supposed to be the best team member. Now they Indianapolis beat them now now you got the second team that patriots the incident here when they play again so yeah I think it is big -- that. That respect."

Play from 6:34[6:34]" I agree with you guys side I think that there is a little bit of a mental -- and you know bill touched on that a little bit you know talking about it was asked about the rivalry and what makes this rivalry so special. And I understand that -- was going to downplay. How good his team is right now he's going to downplay these kinds of questions but he said hey look. Hasn't been that fun has been that special the last three times you know for us and I mean that's not even being able holes that's point of fact yeah. You know I mean eight they have not been able to beat them the last three times they played and that despite the fact that they had me huge lead -- one of those games so. There will be adjusting on on Sunday I I agree with with all the guys in terms of the amount of points and the offense is being. I think going to be dictating how the game is played I don't think the deep fences at this could be as simple as the first in a cop with a stop. And and in other words being able to get a two score lead that might be game because. If you can just keep forcing. The team to come from behind I think it's going to be a difficult -- if you get a couple of stops the other team goes up by ten or 14 it calls the other team to press a little bit on offense especially like the colts. Who sometimes demanding it's behind wasn't that big played it right back at an Internet a medium for them but I can even see as an athlete that's very valid point which had a lot with Manny trying to get at all that it wants. But I think you could even -- scenario the patriots at the opening kickoff. They get on the field and scored to make it seven nothing the colts got to make it 77 patriots match it go up 147. Maybe the -- interception. It becomes 217. And it's one I want 142814 area and they just never catch up the no more mistakes made the rest of the game. But you can't catch up I really think that one mistake on either offense. Could be the difference I don't really a lot of ponson -- game and I also Pete it's can't sold -- declared over the first what are now. Now no chances game there's no way of knowing there's no way of -- before the game -- as the game is unfolding in the first quarter that that's going to be the only mistake you can't know that now but I'm just saying oh I agree with you can say the patriot games over the game just ended right now on on whatever you want to stamp has played the game. You can't do that this week these teams are too good if too much power -- that we've seen them come back and forth against each other which -- now the colts what they did last year. He certainly almost one of the quarterbacks goes down for -- season ending injury game ending injury you you can't stand this game over at any point early. Now I I agree I ate at -- available write this one off it was our last area mean I thought it was over last year 213 I was right it. You know -- those three paragraphs that now I'll say if that's 213 this week in the pages favor I always are driving the colts are a lot more trouble than me the world last year and we almost there weren't most trouble question -- made it back so."

Play from 9:29[9:29]" On generating while story all right -- you've got to show that well this whole we can't believe all you don't Randy moss came here we heard. Would terrible Percy will blah blah blah key was prima -- so we had talked before I always call an Oscar -- all those guys. So I walking out IC Kyle at Cole were canal analysts that I your boss' voice. Which you got going tonight Kyle which you've given now and I couldn't Revere your way. Kyle Pavel reply to Moscow -- man kids don't want to eat that Blake. Everybody goes I total -- who stalked it was all argue all we would you give it out tonight and I could hear the response again about moss goes yeah that's what I'm talking about old losses in the weight room talk about trick or treating with Kyle at all. If anyone had told you that when they signed him in April you would you would have -- anything that you wanted to now he's fighting for children everywhere to make sure that you -- he had an NFL players Randy moss has gotten approval of Kyle let -- out tonight just you know apparently -- go to Randy -- is you know where it is the sound like you must give -- like I -- it's apples that -- stay away from -- asked. -- popcorn ball yes ladies used to give out all good you know we could is that like kick cats are some credit. That's what I if I was an NFL player B -- I was spending good money on. So apparently Randy moss who's the pretty excited about tonight and that -- treaties already legal. I just another example of beyond it's unbelievable it's what they ridiculous it's laughing even if he's popular like -- is receivers. But he's talked about Kyle what goal Oscar blew it just amazing it's just -- alignment offered just laughable well."

Play from 11:05[11:05]" That in -- and I think the overall chemistry in the locker room with with guys like that -- the top in the bottom of blending like you would know the difference between. I think it's amazing that not only that they seem to get along as well as they do on all of them I think their ability to seemingly. Just shut everything else out. Is amazing you know -- you know we spent a whole show yesterday talking about. The running up the scoring and stuff like that in and again we're not going to get back into that today when it stick with the colts but. You could look at those players that they don't you think they can kill last they don't have any interest in that they don't have any interest in what's being said at all and they may care about it but they don't let it -- and I think it's amazing how they're able to focus walking by Larry -- tonight a big one this week Disney dozen. They all. You know I was actually surprised when he first started you know done you know does that and -- and that I was looking -- as if to say that he really admit that this is a big game. You know I'd like -- cope at night I heard a sound -- from and he said yeah this is a big game but this is not the kind of in a wedge in plain. You know we're just playing in a lot more for and a lot with a lot more at stake in this so. Yet it they -- big game they admit that this is a big game and and everything like that but. There are a lot of other big games they're more concerned with and I think they have their amazing I contrast that to. You know the way Dallas took the the game when they played you know in Dallas a couple of weeks ago. It's night and day."

Play from 12:31[12:31]" They're still talking about -- still talking about it. Yesterday was talking about the patriots and -- let it go just one quick thing about the chemistry but Medal we have mentioned I'd. Mentioned here when I saw like Chad brown walked by Tedy Bruschi. Number Bruschi he had probably gave him woke him that those new guys were here it. Locker -- was dead silent -- like those those guys at least he defeated now they can't play so they -- play have a lot to do that but it just they never really -- this is completely -- they're looking -- play yet -- I don't -- player just all fitting in well regardless of what their role is how they play cut down there whatever their status means nothing -- guys -- around him on. And that -- at the expense of every other team in the league parent with."

Play from 13:18[13:18]" what's at the phone not online's right now lucky Ira special guests from yesterday he is joining us once again lucky -- You're lucky to."

Play from 13:28[13:28]" What about what -- welcome special yet but he BR showed so much in court it's so much rather watch you -- Just well I Putin on your facial expression of well."

Play from 13:43[13:43]" we appreciate it -- he would play here about those tags that you could make will -- Dave addresses that to put levels dog."

Play from 13:54[13:54]" It was usually Arnold has not. -- aren't religious anger -- you're whatever our -- Sure sure and blood type a little low -- made just been just sub. Email me their position. Go to my unit come mop it up quick and back problems contenders and balance."

Play from 14:18[14:18]" I -- ourselves that we appreciate that a lot do you think the game's going to be a two touchdown win by the patriots that her."

Play from 14:26[14:26]" I do believe that they didn't. Sure -- that. The -- a couple of -- away from it right if and."

Play from 14:35[14:35]" I could see third -- you're lucky strike he's dead on this I think down the pitches at their school the last touchdown. It definitely when the game -- two I think it's going to be close it is it was going to be closer game certainly than than any of the other -- credit. Shortstop that we call I I tend to agree with him one an ankle to better items I think the patriots about it that would give it. -- I could happen. Oh yeah I'm tired I'm not a I you know this isn't like one of those other two of them not a huge skulls and I'm really not. I I appreciate and respect and appreciate what Peyton Manning that's. That's for sure I guess that's what separates me maybe from. Some months some of the other members of the shell may be but it may not may or may not be here today I won't -- in -- under the bus you guys use the process of elimination go on talking about by Eric. But I not a huge I I really despise they'll pull and that. You know really for no other reason would. Have you root against them in a big game by. I do appreciate what Peyton Manning is done. I don't -- what I care about oh. We're I -- what -- thought -- banks once again that was nice to us yesterday that -- lucky stats such I don't know what they -- Nobel blowouts like he's too cool assortment of -- hit it."

Play from 16:06[16:06]" And in a youth group."

Play from 16:10[16:10]" What what are you doing. That -- got it actually -- who -- in the fly out over the cups that collateral damage the -- strategy that was that was driving that's and you know a person cares about the stupid cup is gradually I can only got -- Patriots press release and -- useful for something things were stagger around yet something on the top that they have flight -- Like a -- here now now -- get a thrown at me again. Act after the patriots. Back to the patriots this -- we budget should we quickly let everyone know about Eric's lead. Yes it's -- honest I'll mention Eric is. He does a fund raiser thing for a church any solid raffle tickets. And the winner the winner of the raffle gets a picture hated by -- of anything they want themselves up -- number pat. All I have bought two tickets some -- now. In the email police said you can get a ticket for a dollar horse you could get six tickets for five. That he put in parentheses or tampered well well Albert and the or."

Play from 17:18[17:18]" So yes -- the guy yet -- with a chorus. Well -- think -- about Jaffe to put up to a five or six really because I really want to win this dark and come out of the cage I watch him make it a portrait of me. So if you want to enter the scallop -- have him take a picture make a picture of you -- show or take a -- probably right or like because it's just like a photo right in my daily show and -- will get you on the -- But I'll look at a win this thing. I make him a couple -- to -- local church while I didn't want to hurt his feelings but what I wanted to night it was a -- No I wanted to just give them money by it not make sure that I did not get any tickets entered into the -- what is I'd of managed to now whatsoever if one of us woods rattled about we -- they spend that time working on your features that would if -- 33 at -- that would be another way to go about it absolutely. But you know I'm -- given money to you know charitable endeavors and you know it's obviously something an Eric is certainly chair at -- Feel strongly about so I I -- more than happy to help them out but I don't want any part of gutless there and it kind of I want I would object is in the picture Jackson with the uniqueness east east -- pay me if I would"

Play from 18:30[18:30]" we love San Diego and I can't take Jackson out trick or treating tonight this -- minor fracas I don't know -- what does the word controversy up in the office idiocy of the asked me I agree you. He's taken -- to treaty even know pass to Arnold enough to limited engagement well hit the neighbors you know each side of the house and Peter's mom my mom. He's got parents. By about five stops on the victory tour let's be -- he's going to run out of gas pretty quick I think I'm taken the dog I think if -- to a son he'll never run out of gas he -- part now and lap. You part of that -- yesterday turned a lap that are asked my boy. A tough field block that's right. But yeah of course don't as a monkey a finger at some point you'll get annoyed at having a monkey at -- thing on and shoes and stuff but. Of course that's what you do you take district treating. You know I know it's frigid out there picnic accused two and a half he's not old enough yes Chris -- talking to you -- appearance anywhere in earshot of a computer up in your office I that I just thought it was moron he's -- exploiting your -- the he had he can't go to the store by banking -- for 99 cents right now. There's -- no one apparently is that does it does not celebrate christmas or Halloween in Phil's kids are a lot 156 narrative or. Albania I'll be out with both my children hopefully we'll do it and now is that part of the reason like you haven't kids is to have fun with a woman. You know that's -- part of that right just haven't -- I mean -- Ortiz just cracking the whip it's fun in the in the -- be there you might be little under the weather. He's had red -- lately and maybe -- pretty adamant about it on what was he did was he was actually shocked that you were taking -- right. Like he was in the majority here if you -- we gave them but let's be honest he was adamant about not getting a real christmas tree and then we wore him down he got a real christmas tree that -- so. We would break him again that we got a few hours to work here we gave him ample opportunity to sort of step back and realize the ridiculous nature of what he was talking about yet. And and he was on the defensive a little -- there that maybe you know -- with spent three hours and we -- even after the show up there -- trying to speak with him reasonably -- can be out of that that is -- even have a market needs to -- secretary. So I know Willis in many brewers wife under the bust my -- supported me she's okay with. Will -- going to be via the fire chief in his full fireman's uniform and the best part will definitely two buyers but yeah Africa and now. It's like open and and and TJ will be it's a buyer is out any. Has it down a product of the Q. And -- you won't like that in ten years expect and why am I probably will cost outlets to but he'll be you know champions -- Yeah 30 scenic -- that the -- little disturbed -- old -- dressing -- well I -- Lori -- for every -- office but -- his laptop into the picture -- but -- The -- Halloween now we just -- what -- what to wear on Wednesday -- Tom thanks as that is it is Ozzie keeps dressing up the dog. An -- won't have to you know put off the gas having it. Because trying to think about the sport thought that that dog was a pretty good life trust me he -- wear sweat shirt that read them for me -- letter taking everything out I don't have a god we we ready to hit a game as big game might want to talk about. Yeah Halloween is that there's a ton of females here I don't -- all that sidetracked but over one want to talk football football bill Madden Quincy is our first cup race is -- let's listen -- it's and he knows that's not what -- yesterday there are three things that really concern me going and going into this weekend's game 11 of all the depleted -- situation suggests that Matt light is not going to get much needed help. Against Dwight Freeney is it possible receiver able Ocala and some other non traditional tight end in on something other than. Goal line situations this week my question is -- act and we see individual and Watson and Watson in the locker room putting the ads. In his practice pants and refusing to talk on the read into that -- Ben -- place might re able in good players. With the become Deion Sanders. You play in the second most powerful office football. Don't think -- be able to rush Peyton -- now -- the -- I ended I also don't but I don't think -- would play tight end in anything anything -- will -- has -- waste -- in the -- you -- three -- last week he could care -- I asked -- about that before he said he doesn't really want to -- on the -- asked -- like a short -- play -- like the 30 yard -- analyze it strictly -- end -- thing so I don't think it was going to be seen anything like that but I think we see Brady rivers and Watson and much ado about them Kyle Brady and Watson as -- said both in the locker on today not really speaking to anybody but I think their present him -- brought -- refusing to speak to me in the case and wants that's true. But you don't and I'm not going to ask about you or your injury can't hold -- against them. Like holding I want against him -- he'd he'd look back it's it's not a lap -- here. It means economy knowledge he was like -- a -- Anderson it's like what it not think he -- say that he wasn't I think I'm not hold a grudge I will now now. I think that assault hip thing to hold a grudge that's all caught up that's all bodies injury sure he -- a pretty good guys usually gives out Marty in the all I don't go to don't go to Ben watts he's a good guy about guys in the locker room what I don't you just don't go -- look at that big -- big candy it's like Chris for -- It worked -- makin' fun of being he's not a good people some people -- cheap that's the way they are. And some people are it's that's how they're brought up. Chris Ferreira if you go to his house he will be extremely disappointed -- the -- what does he do these little ball can't be out on the program or does it right every that I want to respected get everything you want executive be bothered to answer the -- the justly but big yeah on the front. I'd be opening on their steps. I just take the whole thing but really don't want to if you want to go Christopher -- anyways by 50 degrees of their way right at least not touch it yet thermostat at. 622 with a -- Thomas hobbled I think Dallas Clark is going to have a big date who was going to cover him. I think -- yeah and use these safeties match that was them. I don't I -- details Thomas can cover Dallas Clark and I and I haven't seen regardless of ankle injury or not I haven't really seen him try to cover tied it. Only I tried gas bill what they're going to do without clock and not surprisingly built in dvd game plan but. He did just that mid 80s that matchup problem do you consider slot receiver do you consider him a tight end. How do you change. That's the -- that the problem you face because you can get stuck in nickel and they're going to line up up up into tights and run or he could get stuck. In regular defense and their spread you out so it's a matchup issue and I don't think errors and calmer but we all know he it would decently and I don't make any of them I mean I don't think cops can color Reggie -- right. That's why we think it's going to be I swear I gave because -- why we think the offense is going to dictate the tempo of the game finally Matt finishes up. I Bob Sanders is always a factor is so goodies like hot goalie in the NHL playoffs his presence -- a good defensive to a great one in when he is not in the lineup they are literally a different team. He's one of the few players on the field. Other that a quarterback it changes the Vegas line one way or the other depending on whether he plays having said that. If all these -- doomsday scenarios play out I think the patriots win by two TDs instead of three. That's as the match went even if follows bad things happen -- things they'll. Still went to -- what I think I'm surprised about our board of all the bad things all the bad things that was not like they have trouble protecting the passer because the tight ends aren't there and they don't have anybody to cover the Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders dominates but I don't think all those things happen newspapers are going to win by two touchdowns on Indies it's aside I'm surprised that so -- thing is that the schemes the blow. While I'm I'm you know. I'm with you lad and I don't think it's going to be a blow but I am not surprised that a lot of fans -- budget stands and Andy debatable patriots. They -- that's the way yeah I could mean do you think you should what's -- well why I've touched I don't blow up I don't think he should I think that's stupid. I think without -- cowboys that we can blow it how would replace the 49ers I was at an eagle it would -- if we cut down on the top -- the what the rest of the guys in the message boards that. -- we will -- how -- I was -- actually -- Ellis -- can't -- with our offense we -- and say you know what you know this happens but I was could be in trouble it was going to be a -- game I -- you can -- this closely matched up -- global. Maybe maybe it happens but how do you look at it and say that. I think -- can I mean I think you're -- and please say Ellis -- can't cover they got nobody covered Alley are already but they can't broader meaning I think it should be realistic look at all the -- the colts did. Do things too like this guy -- that -- you know well Dallas Clark going to be wide open Bob Sanders going to dominate -- the patriots by two -- but the COLT a looking at a dance. They have these offensive weapons to exploit the patriots Steve man in the -- defense conversely is playing better than ever as. I don't think it's that I'm staying in -- perspective. They're number one and passed the pants with their new cornerbacks that patriots have never really. Gone against and my home there at home linebackers that they've replaced you know we all talked -- all year -- upgrades. Their defense is playing well that they're. You know. I mean you don't like in the third era not a hobby -- way anyone direction there's going to be three that go to the patriots into that go to nickel for three Florida and that's how plays out but that's I -- a little problem as a guy as a band saying right -- going to go our way I get a good feeling well."

Play from 28:31[28:31]" Okay or the other I just I'm surprised that you would think it would be a blow while columns -- the ball out to. What can add 14 points in his what -- like you said he had or maybe either ahead by seven but with two minutes to go and that's at all not at all. But one of the things I think is really the -- advantage for this game is every time they played in the last couple years the pressure's been on the colts. When they came here you know the one years if they bloom all they had to beat them. You know and then last year they had -- in the championship is always pressure on the colts. To me be home be an underdog the whole world talk about the patriots -- like the commentary year old in the it's reversed its they're the patriots now I think that's going to help them be more relaxed they they don't have the talent to get it done. But that's why don't -- it's going to be a blow up I think they could at least -- with the patriots for awhile."

Play from 29:23[29:23]" I want you back females -- sure I'd Michael is in nine nova Scotia actually before we do that. We we will be remiss if we didn't bring this showed it was screeching all -- it and go to the phone bank. And talk to Craig insult."

Play from 29:36[29:36]" I'm Craig how Lima a man. Why don't let and better people cause my job again you know it's -- it's a typical Wednesday. And it LO you know that the and I do great job not just on the radio let you know pretty much every -- if you believe it very much everything I have my bad days like yes tonight you."

Play from 29:57[29:57]" You know everybody I'm even at one. I don't remember that's -- they have a minute ago are you brought up the the colts having their number one that statements in the league."

Play from 30:10[30:10]" Yeah what I did going it's a last week I don't know if they got passed by and."

Play from 30:13[30:13]" Now they are no. They're -- about 165 a game yeah and they've only allowed seven plays over 20 yards wouldn't."

Play from 30:22[30:22]" Bill talked a lot about that it has come say they have not allowed big plays. And and their side they're on either side of the ball."

Play from 30:29[30:29]" Of one thing out there it if you look at the statistics this year. It's not known fact involved here but also one of the best tackling teams and football. And and their -- say that it is it. They they don't cover very well what they -- very well. They allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 65 point 7% of their taxes. And -- 26 in the league so there letting guys get the ball latest tackling immediately that the sense as a whole has been allowing third down conversion rate of 46%. There's only three teams -- only gets worse than net and that the jets the Broncos in the dolphins. And that twice as bad as they played an Iowa and play outside your -- a lot of point 4%. So I think basically you know they haven't played an offense like ours. And I am not saying we're gonna blow out my prediction American in 38 point four. Not a blow out just think things about it go our way. But I escalating a lot of balls you know we at 381 down last week and Washington. I don't think about it kind of bark control Atlantic or shut them. Although you mention it to you -- about exporters. And you know the good guys vote about -- arms so I don't think I'm going to be throwing hail Mary you're in luck this week. I think we're going to end up winning that game I'm really looking forward to witness it's -- I had a good questions you can -- my. You you might want to discuss -- at some point."

Play from 32:17[32:17]" I give us a question and we we're going to move on in the -- paper you write about a lot of stats that table while -- absorb what's the question."

Play from 32:24[32:24]" It was spiky. And no way we've been piling up -- teams and there's been a few you know rumblings about it not so much by players and coaches you know mostly the media harper on. What -- Belichick and the patriots do a -- to win coach of the year."

Play from 32:45[32:45]" I -- want defeated -- and I mean if if they go undefeated he's going to win coach of the year I mean if they go 15 and one and they went at all. I think he's -- to coach but as -- surpassed they want he's one coach -- always as -- a lot of times that he coaches the good teams don't -- the coach of the year it's always one of those that you want twice tinian. I'm much I'm not positive view that he wanted to know you want an all three. No no yeah I think I that's -- so I'm. You know I I understand the point of you know sometimes the better teams don't always get those awards team that. No one expected anything out of that has a modicum of success and they -- them that this I don't know I think there is any team that right now. You know look like maybe Houston was a possibility for awhile but they've kind of stumbled that is a lot of key of the city eagles have played a clinical my -- it is it is Betsy. I greatly appreciated my man will talk to you tomorrow I'm sure."

Play from 33:45[33:45]" I -- South Carolina."

Play from 33:48[33:48]" That's dragons South Carolina -- a lot of stats that table he preps for games one night I will say this and I you know the fact that I did the preview made me a little bit more in tune with some of those numbers that I normally would be. That -- 46 point 63 down conversion rate against. Stuck out to me that was an eye opener that's a very high number. I'm not surprised to find out that only three teams in the league worst number than that but somehow they're finding a way to keep points off the board and I think the fact of those yards or as low as they are. Passing against them tells me that they're doing a pretty good job because we know the colts play from in front. They get leads and they usually have pretty big leads and the other team is kind of -- if they had really low running totals against them I would dismiss them. Because I would say well teams have been behind -- have been able to run the ball that much but. The colts are usually dictating how the game is played they're keeping the yards down and the 160 area I think that's pretty impressive."

Play from 34:48[34:48]" Yet they then we'll Craig said that's what they do day. They let you catch the ball may come up and tackle and I think that's the difference with these new guys in the secondary they're much more physical they're better at quarters. And I think that's helped put it past the -- that Tampa to you you know -- he's going to catch those seven yard passes across the middle that's that's what they're trying to do with a -- in the field goals. What that's going to be important join the patriots who we all know the patriots of movement football there's no way to going to be punting the ball eight or nine times zone and they get down there that vital hole of the three as many times as you can. And eliminate the -- played -- but I will disagree with -- at the of the jump ball to Randy moss if the unseen Anderson Champ Bailey are out there because he just goes up and gets."

Play from 35:31[35:31]" I'm Michael is in nova Scotia and you know obviously in. Response to the passing of Robert goulet and that is why we did the open the -- opened today he's evil he was calling for that he says that he thinks they not only would have gone third and fourth down being up 38 nothing but -- probably would've gone for two. After the ensuing touched so he was glad that we played the open with regards to Canadian NFL games they should play three downs and -- iron ten yard field. American league teams that have to have their batter hit so why not play Canadian rules of football should spice it up a little bit who's playing better this year Eugene Wilson would James Sanders Sanders -- did say they'd asked your Eugene."

Play from 36:11[36:11]" Wilson whoever that -- Sanders. Yeah I mean we were saying before Sanders won the surest happened on the team he really assures them going yet he comes up PE. He makes contact he grabs his arms you know I think it'd make an argument last couple years that Eugene Wilson has -- the insurers that was on the team. So I think that's. And Sanders has approved in pass coverage evidently noticed it ain't pretty. If he has if he can hang with the colts offense then you start saint james' energy to pretty targets say 80 -- Should we saw him hanging with the Ben Watson in training camp that is I don't Dallas Clark run better routes but fizzle -- are tied -- rec ball that bad why that's so Gina Sanders is."

Play from 36:52[36:52]" That's not his game that's not his matchup you know if it the more he can do that the more you'll essentially the other aspects of his game and I also asked him and he. He feels confident that at some point he can be Harrison in terms of blitzing him making plays the line of scrimmage he just said. You know rod he's good that he's always been good at that at some little point until like he can be that guy as well so. His confidence is is sky high right now but this is will be -- game for him to. I'd Anthony is in North Carolina he says with the injury reports due out today what are your thoughts on how Belichick who handle it. Is that game he generally opt to go with 51 out of the 53 active players on the report. In recent years does he do it again today or does -- stick with just the legit injuries to the extent that he ever reveals them. I'm waiting to report that includes a ton of players that happened previously been there will be guys I'd go with the normal -- yeah I don't think he will now this year I did to -- not only am I guess. Tickets were part I'd really noticed that any particular game all the sudden it's an influx. If you noticed that. He issued last year yeah there was that whole war on one game -- personal and dungy added people who remember that the Indiana left it -- at a -- for more and I don't think that'll happen this week. Yeah it will be now my guys that have been on yet I was like in the playoffs they all disappear. -- well in the playoff games you know there's a guy has been on the injury report every week elves and he's gotten. Which is why I honestly the only time I look at these reporters when I'm doing game notes have to -- what the lottery winners actually -- ankle in the bagels or play it's -- know -- out on Tuesday. That's -- I'd Daniels next up by you guys have talked a bit about the -- running up the score YDB doesn't. Policy that it isn't like -- to do it since it doesn't help you win. Take communion and in the game -- better odds to win this got me thinking convert conventional football with them agrees with Paul. But peavy is always looking for the advantage do you think that he might feel the extra playing time after playing hard. Means a better team in the playoffs do you think that he may feel like it's early practice for the next week just thought. The first time -- know they'll they'll -- that'll be the first time I have no idea I think it is more likely that he realizes that his that this is his. In the Pat's best chance to leave a lasting memory. For football fans everywhere. In -- of 40 years do you -- people say remember that you have -- ran up the sport everyone those -- not it will synonym of the 2007 pats now they went 16 and no one no team came close to -- them. They'll probably the best team in the history of the NFL don't know this he's leaving a legacy. About 38 nothing not close to not be I just I think that the same message at 16 you know with -- impressive wins you're right the details of get lost in the wash people's signal was close to beating them. It doesn't matter whether it was 45 nothing 30 you know -- are 50 to seven. That's Denham and it was originally from Malden mass but he lost in Delaware says by I do it and -- I think there. You lead just as much of a lasting impression on 16 you know when in 1938 -- 31 nothing whatever but you know whatever. Let's see here another one Indian Sioux City, Iowa Fred I am afraid for your help if you keep -- so pissed off. We all know Paul doesn't really believe everything he says it has been a lot of talk about Manny versus Brady and I don't care which one you have they're both great. How like the fact that Brady used to be able to adapt to any receivers they put out there we don't really know how many would be in those situations he has always had good receivers what did. What did he when he first started do you guys know I like the past to win this weekend conventionally 4224 thanks -- is PFW circulation department for straightening out my subscription taking extra effort to drop a copy in an envelope until it -- back in that's that's good to hear from for a change our circulation department is actually getting the job done. At least one person wanted to -- it. Necessarily think that I say a lot of things that don't. Believe that anyway Jeff is next up greetings to -- steal in the Justice League I don't want to keep beating a dead horse but the pats are obviously. Running up -- opponents however what I'm interest in and is what people think should be done from a practical standpoint over an 85 bears defense in the -- four colts offense I don't think we've ever seen a team. So dominated opponents -- it is obvious that the other team. Has no chance when a game is 42 to seven at half. If people think the patch should not run up the score what exactly should they do in the second half. Run the ball all the time in his castle and Gutierrez a quarterback with one running back -- Morris one just back from injuries Maroney one Faulk with a history of injuries who is one who is the team mascot tackles and Ben Evans for good measure -- can't we get ankle hurts if he had to do back. If yet this week after we don't you run the risk of your starting offense getting a bit out of sync yet if they do. This is I was joking we give up my high school team where they have a great running back and it's been like three weeks in a row he hasn't played in the second half. And I said do you wonder how this is going to affect him when he actually -- 35 carries in the superbowl post season game right that is a legitimate concern in my mind. There's no I don't see any scenario where they are up to the point where Tom Brady. -- Laurence Maroney Randy moss can be sat down in the second quarter no one's asking for that but midway through the fourth quarter when you still -- Brady on the field you're going for fourth downs two very different things they've already played a full game. They're not going to lose their their stamina because they they got taken out ten minutes early. I -- Tommy gets a researcher trying to do for us"

Play from 42:22[42:22]" I just looking at the 85 bears here. They they're known. For what they did in the playoffs and it's one mostly group talk about 40 years you look at the scores of their games. That not -- that impressive first -- first week of the year was against Tampa Bay they 13848. That you look at things scores like 2743047916 and then they hit the stretch here gives them a game against Dallas 44 often rose cowering in order I remember that one. Then the next week at Atlanta was 36 often and they lose to Miami. And now that you got 1710 against the colts why imagine was terrible 19 to six at the jets the 3717 at Detroit he talked about a team that won. By 50 what you eat all the playoff yep when he won not the point four about the 4610 and that's kinda what the legacy. And I know I think it. It and actually what goes gave up fewer points the next year -- yes next year they actually had a more dominating season that we receive -- 44 sevens. You know 48 sport teams so we with the 85 bears that the defense struck fear. But I think he came -- more late in the year. -- happy offense now. The patriots are what is that the point differential when. On the water on the average he's 40 want to -- only allowed 1526 points away by I mean that the bears were barely winning some games by you know. 1015 points that's I mean these at this particular do you have a great defense you're going to have that but like the races. That your in the in Tampa Bay. With label somebody -- kinda like 20 enough the ball great beat them when you have an offense like the patriots that's what you could start back -- 5060 points the bears just couldn't do that. Unless they got like five turnovers."

Play from 44:06[44:06]" And again you don't know just by looking -- score how the score. And passed now I I can tell you the Super Bowl in my opinion they're trying to score yet -- they won by as many as they could but I don't know -- 44 to nothing game. I mean I like that that could have been you know 44 nothing game could've been -- they did everything they could to keep it down at 44 I don't know I can probably guarantee I be I remember that it was a kid and I remember Lotta defensive touchdowns but. Mike guesses might vehicle -- loaded up on Tom Landry. Because Landry was as he Rolen right soul played -- everything that goes a couple of deep fences adept at what the cowboys were star they had like five different quarterbacks they stunk. So yeah like that's the type a game with defensive team will get when they'd blow yup but the patriots it might be -- to score whenever they feel like if they give him radio on the field single to score and they have a pretty good decent yes the other thing you have that both sides of the ball they. You know this has been a defense led team even when it was an offense led team. It was led by an offense that was an explosive like this you know. Corey Dillon at 1600 yards a big part of the often was running the ball the receivers branching -- were good they work great. These guys now -- just making big plays left and right down the field -- mosque so it's. It's it's like we talked about with different aspects a perfect sport. You have a big play receiver pretty good to -- that's a quarterback that give the ball -- that you win against a point six points it's not America all the formulas pretty much -- their -- on paper. Okay let's get back to the phone lines we're going to take another call if from Josh you know."

Play from 45:33[45:33]" Iowa Josh -- Offer off they -- I got it done but don't -- right. No -- no -- today would do an record that are all -- yesterday and the answer it and no it just."

Play from 45:50[45:50]" Hey yeah advantage there any that have new game into would you rather have a he has heard of that -- game sort of what we got blown me one other questions on the outside of -- has would you rather have a head half the size of a normal person or twice decide."

Play from 46:06[46:06]" Well I guess I I like myself a pretty couple myself but it is twice the size and persons while go twice the size of little Murton and you'll get a choice -- just got stuck and and get a choice either to my mother."

Play from 46:19[46:19]" Now they got. As a question about they have gone out and AFC championship game made absolutely shut down plain and and -- and -- seen that yet this year."

Play from 46:31[46:31]" I'll actually -- right. I thought Samuel pretty much shut down Harrison but. Wayne had a field day in the second half of that game they were hit him on the short patterns across the middle all day long if you remember -- right before the two minute warning they hit him for it was like 19 yards a play actually fumbled and got -- right so I thought Wayne. Once they realize -- how was the -- which is played 30 yards off what he always does. They really exploited that I think using the same thing I think the that a goal. After after Hobbs of Bruce he implicated in the championship game Samuel might be can chuck Harris it now especially Hairston probably not going to be under percent."

Play from 47:12[47:12]" Where it AF one I think has. And that's that last touchdown that Mary Leonard gave what they've done better he would have gone down low on what is cooling. And they're trying to attack from about shoulders a bigger guy like that."

Play from 47:27[47:27]" Well yeah -- I guess but you know I I hooked it was 52 to nothing at the time. Sure my wife Rebecca get extra points for that just you know I thought all right. I don't know it. I guess think that's the patriots would think -- I mean erupt there wasn't a good player like Maryland and you know that's that's unfortunate you know once you rookie first round pick not looking good but yes played a whole lot asked if this isn't played a whole lot in they have seemingly and put them on the depth in the secondary. I think at least in the short term it's not anything that I would be overly concerned about you guys feel. Now that that specific like -- I mean generally his play he has only played a lot hasn't really played -- short term I don't think it's a huge issue I mean I don't two years now he still kick off the bench that problem I I don't think it's a good thing for palms boy to be seen regular action Rashad baker. When you first round pick if he regular so I don't think that's a bit of a concern his development but obviously it's it's way way early to start saying. He's not ready to contribute or he'll never feel great tribute I just -- I prefer see Brandon Meriweather in the rotation in Russia they. Just before we like to go to prediction for the game"

Play from 48:42[48:42]" I don't know 3830 on patriot and I will be -- against -- you know watch thanks for the call nicely so."

Play from 48:49[48:49]" Yes -- Calm before in his -- initial doubt that Wilbur accident at ivy -- go from Gary what was got itchy trigger right -- but the orchid -- even lower the buys and trades are trying to given and then Pete called the get blown up at some point commodities assets -- you gotta get what they wanted to. You mention the shot victory plan non significant action of every week when we say okay relied on more needs to be activated who picnic but in every night I got -- going to happen. Do you think that maybe you know want to see if they get him some time with his physical presence maybe with Dallas Clark. I've got saved by itself but annually -- amount but maybe. Yeah he's coming off on the field last year when everybody complained they couldn't delighted that despite that offense -- he -- a couple people well. In practice holiday game night as an underdog and they caught they caught the pass -- they paid for I don't know if you heard Eric Alexander a lot of tackles for the an -- put then -- just a side. Michael I don't know Michael's next I don't know how I feel about Rashad baker I'm surprised every time he takes the field and remains on the roster for another week. You just don't like the site to us the only reason you know I've just never seem to bring it into the thing that table except for late -- hit on Randy moss -- shorts and a T shirt and with the appeals to the most the Michael is another season which he hurt Randy moss and take it"

Play from 50:12[50:12]" policy like -- or cut them off when he starts email I'm not crime like at. You know as much of the -- I got really really -- sufficient what is. It is but -- but -- him -- I Michael is next up he's been on the Indy star blog he's trying to do advantage of what the other colts fans think he's as the -- is definitely. COLT won last year they'll do it again with the writers and the fans in Indianapolis. I promise that -- seems clear to me however this game is not a rematch of last year's AFC championship comparing the patriots offense that data what it is now with the five of 11 new starters. And the colts defense also has five new stars. The key difference in the changes the page it's better -- talent all the spots where the colts' defense is at a younger unproven guys in fairness the colts guys maybe better than the ones that replaced but we really don't know yet. -- no I think the -- find themselves overmatched by the patriots offense from the start local -- a lot to probe for an area to attack. Now let dontrelle Hawkins and Eric Alexander are not going to be on the field. I expect them to try to get Dallas Clark I'm Rodney Harrison if or attack Dallas -- on -- team anymore you know IV before it was like -- we -- Hawkins it is yet he was another example they can -- all pro announces that he also doesn't expect that Tedy Bruschi is much action this week patriots up prosperous colts defects will feature 45% new players in the field. Ten of the 22 compared to the AFC title game. They -- Steve transfers -- our official featured 18% new players in the field. Fourth two when he to a -- Marvin Harrison plays and Richard -- doesn't play much predictions. Patriots 45 calls to what -- return of an inning face in an ironic twist bill point two points and Randy moss is being two physicals colds TVA's. That pushing off we're jumping over their backs that's Mike in Columbus that's good stuff might as good as that was funny. I think it's going to be published their point victory -- to -- on if if if let's."

Play from 52:11[52:11]" He while -- is going to be if you if C championship game but QBs but something about the first of all. We've all watched thousands of games that ranks in the top handful of games I had to proceed and plus everything was on the line that day. Even if we get a 3834 game on Sunday it -- be the same because -- not -- the superbowl right theory and one soul come back I agree with all the hype. It might be a little disappointing at the end but it should be entertaining game and well these teams have played some pretty entertaining -- even get -- still opening day 2004 -- great game -- that Vanderjagt missed the field -- at the end of again patriots won 2724 I was wondering that other -- in the -- with the kickoff returns prevent -- on -- and -- three pick one -- once -- played some some interest in games and -- with the rivalry right I think this one will be -- I mean I don't see really any way like I said earlier where this one your."

Play from 53:06[53:06]" Or at halftime you why I think I -- last year these people are pointing out that they colts' defense is -- test and I agree I think the patriots offense. Is side just. So good that there's no defense in this league it's going to stop signs up by deepened last week just on incapable of stopping -- they're getting they're going to related to that they're going to move the ball they're going to score points the patriots I'd just a matter of how much indeed does the same thing and and makes a mistake and I -- where'd this and a temperature in the they'll. Yeah which. -- answer that it was was classic it's no hotter than any other film I mean that that's you can stated he's not going to make a big deal out of anything like that but I don't think he makes a comment like that that definitive that same as all the other adults TG by the way is next up he wants don't Freitas is alive if we if we didn't see nothing different -- I have different related yet it. In -- says how did you manage football okay you two friends in the matchups going. Quarterbacks it's a wash. To -- about what you got some if you disagreement and we -- yes. Running game advantage colts at dial -- defects the colts' defense is faster and younger the pats have more experience yet. Safety Sanders versus Harris. A Sanders offensive line it's a wash. An active the itch that they take its yet -- patriots and I will be okay let me taste -- out of there now in the Whitney especially if if by Yugo is is banged up to the point where he can't play because slash evidently he can play all last week I thought I played too I thought he played being by know if that's what they said -- watching the games that he got to come out of the game. But the shoulder intrigued by and they were cheated with that as an -- special teams got a dusty versus mr. clutch while I'll let it there. But I would get the special teams -- overwhelming yet overwhelming edge to the patriots in this game. It's in -- the kickers don't count I don't want to see a single field goal colts don't punt so it's -- versus himself Lou doesn't -- I guess apart that they he's punted. My less frequently than hunter -- I will go to the numbers volley you know goal line Klecko -- ready able I'll take were able electrical and the fact that. Press box boy versus turner -- first yeah it is absolutely I think if Fred ever gotten a conversation until Paul and it. We knew we would -- have we would need bail money -- because I think that would kill him considerably -- it is an author Smith has wanted to -- And Allen if you win one last game so is it definitely is that more often is -- at all possible the patriots rolled and the way they have doing been doing to everybody else and he says yes."

Play from 55:46[55:46]" Why why why why let alone won't."

Play from 55:48[55:48]" It's not it's not possible don't as the colonels underwear a matter of national security 52 to seven you think they can be -- to to set the ballot for the record it. The cowboys final record got to fix that the cowboys did leave the patriots of the third quarter and I actually think I said I think this game the exact same ways that I don't want to lose -- lead in the third -- somewhat competitive game right. And the patriots all the entire fourth quarter that. Thank you could see that here answer I think is a much better chance than that than 52 to seven patriots. I will be built this thing Campbell out there won't be enough shock in this world for me to think it's 50 to 700 I've taken the -- the year off -- 527 -- on the united -- orient and they'll say patriots win big you know I don't run opposing view or you know disabled -- the -- up at least a if the colts win is the that this is a good one guys like this is the pressure of the undefeated season off of the pats in on the -- We are at right there and it would certainly be off a couple. Vivid equally and if I'm going to I don't know I think patriots was still have the and to go to I would say that. The only differences I think the colts could lose a game in their division that's why I think my record books are going to lose the very next game they -- want to see what they don't -- the patriots and I think there's no way they went -- OG don't you would be surprised if Houston Jacksonville or Tennessee with the Indians from an upset because those teams -- actual talent some talent. We're I would be totally shocked if the jets Miami I agree I mean if you're over gonna compare the two out yet I would be totally shocked if the colts lose a game in -- division. He was Ellen Clements has hit three home games but I would be of much more shock to Tennessee's might have more shy of a pitcher later -- I had the last couple times even in Indy I'd be surprised. I would take it got a phone call before we get to the out of."

Play from 57:33[57:33]" Great job of Bombay John Holland summer that I got to go -- excellent though. At this critical question I have listeners know what's going off -- count that. Let's say the patriots won by William Wallace -- big advocate possibility I don't think that's well liked. It's become upset because of because from the parity."

Play from 57:55[57:55]" that there's only two good teams right that the patriots would big goalie one that the artist kind of been I think it's that's been lost the last 56 years has been three -- good teams in football and the rest. -- colts Steelers patriots. And it's the -- it has -- other teams. Periodically in Denver was era one year you know Chicago had a good year last year but they've really. Yeah San Diego has peak into that equation but really it's been patriots colts and Steelers."

Play from 58:25[58:25]" And yeah it's true in my opinion and the other question that I had to pick it still and that put up five tech were frustrated at not that felt undergo us what the heck out."

Play from 58:36[58:36]" I would never say there's nothing Roger Goodell he would do but I don't certainly see them doing as far as I know and what we've been told that it gives the patriots it right unless and jumping duking it Francisco has to give that the patriots their pick in the trade and the bet that they lose from -- in the playoffs is -- So I am -- saving changes between now and then John nine I think that's that's all we got so we --"

Play from 1:03:12[1:03:12]" The following takes place between 12 PM and 2 PM."

Play from 1:03:24[1:03:24]" But -- This is POW in progress and how do you. That's on the question about it. As you can see you have spoken all the parts in this room right now BM WM progress he's gotten right into some of the month from the -- focus. -- period I'm I'm curious how does one pick up or so. It does say cook focus -- barn not -- Maybe it was simply opponents notebook I. Smoking at home. --"

Play from 1:04:10[1:04:10]" Oh yeah -- in fact two zone for the big thick book."

Play from 1:04:18[1:04:18]" Above that -- so yeah. You look so you good luck you can not don't look at the great good share. You teach me how to -- court. An expert constantly. Okay I dabbled in college yeah. Steve you ever run out of work the smoke -- one -- with a unusually -- and I hope he's happy with the need ethical and that. Much it would be more clerks part of the patriots football network is still with all these doubles go to defend how."

Play from 1:04:59[1:04:59]" back here for the second hour if that -- progress. Tommy -- if you that doctor is behind the glass has Garrett Willis up again you know meeting so that anyone that it was supposed to be yet. Didn't -- I don't know. We're still still Buckeyes a construction and activities are sexual harassment meaningless it -- last year I was it was an award that says yeah it must have happened if it it's obvious anyway we have lot of emails here guys and obviously it was a big huge game coming up it's been a big we have they gave him coming up by this week with. Indianapolis Colts and -- once the Tom I think this is from Alejandro. And he says he as he's preparing for the gun fight at the RCA corral a read a piece about the 1990 clash between 12 and one niners and 12 and one. Giants game with a symbol similar level of hype that ended 732 questions one. You tell me a little bit about that game into have you ever talked to Belichick. The but the defensive game plans he used against the niners somehow benighted seem to have a tough time. Against -- because they lost the NFC championship but in another low scoring affair today is that when you because I think that's apparently."

Play from 1:06:13[1:06:13]" Wall in the -- they scored a lot did if we went back and look at the scores of those games before number Paul how many times when he played. And notices any time for the minors or 30s. Against the giants is Bell's one of those things -- had a great offense go to it's a great defense of of the defense wants the times the offense once of those a lot of good battles. That game had to come -- number one watches as a kid. It is just didn't it was 73 and they try to tell you -- one of those -- beef at all I don't remember Terry Bradshaw on Todd talk Bayern Buehrle really early days of talk radio around here. Jessica -- now. Screen defects in at this like fake light sensitive voice going to it was it was a bad it was a bad when it. Would you have that much talent even the giants were that offensively you know that they had some -- They have a two -- like that make it 73 that it was a bad game because of a game like that a good offensive game a good defensive game would be like 2144 so like that when he won 17 even 73 that's just. That's the bad game."

Play from 1:07:15[1:07:15]" I'll even tell you one thing -- that game it was 73 midway through or late in the fourth quarter. The giants were driving may get down inside two point five I would say somewhere Providence certainly within. Easy field goal range and Parcells decides to go for fourth down. Trying to go for the win rather than making it 76 in and potentially getting the ball back it didn't work they'd they'd failed for the that they failed to get the fourth down conversion and San Francisco ended up winning but remember -- Had a huge play and that drive or has carried out any -- via and they ended up by not getting the field goal and Parcells got some criticism by. I look at that and I and I I watched Belichick now that's why no Belichick is going for the sport bounds that's what."

Play from 1:08:01[1:08:01]" Parcells has it -- that's that's good observation that I -- the game that that's what the game's best known for is the -- borrow -- there. Hum but yet it was a it was a dog I mean as a -- sit there thinking this game stinks. And a lot of people shared that same opinion with that he had that the football purest idea what a great game was it news from Eric. And I think we expect to the locker room you weren't there us on base -- goals that practice."

Play from 1:08:27[1:08:27]" Yes I regarded -- street -- wanted to hold -- said anything about that until -- but -- my guess -- he's not doing -- because. He went -- in the locker room today he was getting dressed at the at his locker Tom and I looked at each other says. Do you think it's strange he's actually getting his clothes on while everybody else -- putting a uniform on generated -- practice sure enough ten minutes later. Yet his jacket on the editor of the door and evidently. Left so I don't know if there's anything personal going on our feet just under the weather and and Belichick decided to you know bests it just let him go home and against get his rest but now so something to be and that something too concerned about and keep an eye on certainly. Early in the week or stick don't want to see in -- start that game against that it changes. The perception that -- beat them you know we got a lot of emails that someone try to get to arise any of those nights and especially after Fred ignored most the national good Goosen. Eric is on his -- so Burnett beckham yeah ours that if -- detection and welcomed by all that that was absolutely the right thing to do what's the though the week is finally arrived at -- to see so many running up the score emails I had to say is guys just enjoy the show until lasts the main reason why I think we lost the year's game other than those two big guide cultural drop. Was our defense was on the field for the entire second half remaining was running nose to -- tries which basically tired tomorrow. My question is do you guys think that it was good strategy to -- game on -- stance taken take away the running game and short passes. To the running back and -- it and not let him eat the clock. I guess Harrison is banged up and they do not have a great third receiver if they score quicker our offense has time to get back on the field and score. At the colts might be more I'd be happier to eat the clock and long drives thus disrupting the patriots rhythm by the way Fred -- are patriots -- team jacket being sold in India. Alliance though not an official one. Which might offend you alone there was happy to -- the -- being popular globally and that's kind of speak in Chicago McCarthy is email in all the time. I think that's the calls want to do they want it it's almost like a whole champion you order with a his commentary last week."

Play from 1:10:35[1:10:35]" They want to run the football granted that they have to score -- is Reggie -- wide open down the sidelines pay is not going to checked out all right so they could control clock but. I think that's how the patriots played them defensively right is they don't they take away to keep everything in front they're not like the colts though right. Be interesting to see what happens but I do think the colts would like if they could. They you know if you if you have a choice to to be methodical in his scoring drives I'd actually like them to them too. The more I I have no problem if you can be the guy running Joseph -- broke. You better than him. -- I'd rather be beat -- I of this of the way with the patriots rather be beat by -- I don't I would these two teams had a tragic way to pass as much as I can I if I have to go to nickel I'll go to nickel right down my throat if you can do that okay you did it. But one of those that I I don't like a superstar -- the -- that you know was good stop him if somebody else beat you that your team's not deep enough varied enough good enough."

Play from 1:11:34[1:11:34]" And -- last week Paul that's work. The Redskins try to do their they actually got a third down on the patriot and they scored. And I said DePaul that's part of this that's part the plan if you could stop them there get a feel all right maybe you're still in the game in. So what fifths they were doing the run -- but go head you know that Maroney is going to be two -- I I my boss and -- those guys -- right. But you know would I would I would think that's the COLT who wanted to do was kind of out Balkans over I think quarterly interesting matchups going to be Samuel Hairston. Because last year Hairston got abused by Seattle I think he took a lot of the game not just physically but mentally you know owners in piles of times. And I know there -- there yet so. I think that's going to be interesting matchup I believe paerson needs to be a big part of the offense penalty he just total when he Albany and expect to keep up -- this"

Play from 1:12:24[1:12:24]" it Alex is next up page hello PFW could jumping right on the hype machine one Marvin Harrison is coming off an ankle injury. Which he still while want to scientists cameo with Campbell would you rather play him. Put your best corner on Reggie Wayne whichever order of which -- receiver Hobbs is on the the Mets will target. How the colts at this Gary formation with both which he was on one side leaving Dallas Clark isolated on the other built up to a that a little off your question -- unity. My question is who has the best suited to cover Clark and how do you defend him in that particular formation. Some -- read your question. I mean it's depends on what the answer what they cover. Yeah and I have a corner over there you can have a backside corner. Because you run the risk of if you try to do something exotic and have Ellis Hobbs and it's on -- on the same side of the field. Then all they do is a good offense coordinators they see that the emotion out of it and all of a sudden you've got either Reggie Wayne -- Marvin Harrison on the backside with Clark and you're -- a corner I mean. Unity caught out of out of out of position yourself -- that's why they do that type that they could try to make you reacted see how you're going to call it. The issue is there is whatever bill tells them to do in that situation. Needs to be done that's where I agree with Tom Brady and and Mike -- some of these guys that's the important thing. Don't get flustered 'cause you see. Harrison Wayne on one side in Dallas Clark and ever don't get to what whatever bill soldier to do do because -- that's going to put you in the best chance to win IJ Eric -- something about the they wouldn't tell us decides we already did well it's just little note that. On as Watson return to practice okay so he was the only one of the missing from last week -- who was back okay I'll tolerate soldier what I what at all -- about scientists and you know there's talk about what we value and I yet in the -- I was wondered about. Some of the other guys. Maybe not from last republic Kyle Brady yup and although -- they were all yeah yeah -- want to go through ballistic you'd better read on Boris but all missed -- actually had Mitchell Wilson again Eric Alexander. And Sammy Morris snow and crew same same crew minus and our predictions were right Brady and Watson -- James is in England and he says at the top of the show we asked overlook -- while I'm looking for the pay to get by about 30 points a fact that's upgraded to -- on the ball for the whole second half they won't do that. Seriously I can't wait for the scandal it's not play this game win or lose we're still going to play them again -- champ which began I'd rather lose this -- and -- that one. And the other way around. I think the key to this game is to control the score -- if we scored our opening drive I think -- win by just scoring when they score because I think our offense is good enough to do just that. Not quite show if that's -- got a good chance that this team scored the opening drive every week -- here. Number -- Daniel script and it's coming out like magic strippers chicken and if study was -- well my passwords. If heavy favorite Tommy and you look at their passwords I am battling want to mess spoke to NFL fans in there is a Brady versus Manny. And one guy said when quote. Peyton Manning is a far superior quarterback and went to -- he's the only quarterback the causes all plays. Also sure he's the only quarterback that sits in on coaches' meetings to develop a game plan against their opponents. Payton has more responsibility to his team on and off the field and mr. Brady well. Can you give me a rebuttal to rip him a new age. And sucks but main. But he -- thing."

Play from 1:15:53[1:15:53]" Like I do think Brady has -- and he -- morning shoulders as far as the office. I mean he battled their offense the right like that's one of those -- but I'm saying -- the guys that is is true what he does because. I think he does do all that that's how they run for office but I Brady does -- I mean there's money situations Brady had to change the play can -- is given to get used to run based on what the fences and I don't Brady could do what -- does rest if he was at Indianapolis right. And in east is a smart guy and they just give me any more freedom my today I try to do different things that the line in. Called the and I think once you start doing that. You get good at it like -- for a while Jim Kelly did for awhile did you almost like when they sell it office imported it to resolve -- they've they've for the quarterback for a starts Ian things. So -- Kurt Warner wasn't he the guy that he calls his own place."

Play from 1:16:44[1:16:44]" In Arizona and that I thought it was -- the management -- well. Yet and that's when they basically used whenever they -- adamant it was two minute when it when there was two minutes left or not he was entombed in Israel a two minute calls in his -- plays I believe Roethlisberger has been given more flexibility. To do what he wants in Pittsburgh terms of audible in in calling plays right they're not the only ones that it's not as much as -- used the old days it was -- McCormack called plays but. It's a little different that comes with a comfort in the offense. And that's gets back to always talked about I don't think Peyton -- the only guy can do that but you can't just do your first month on a team. You know teams have to have good coaches good quarterbacks in the longer there together the more they can do with that. So I just fine how ridiculous the whole Brady versus -- argument January splitting hairs there right to mean just. Many would be who is successful here -- would be equally successful there was back crew and I don't think it's -- sincerity W members at Thomas and either both great."

Play from 1:17:43[1:17:43]" I think prop up a Richard's next up who's up for a quick round of who would you rather kill Sheridan oh good long does it mean -- or Harmon woods. -- academic you gotta like term a little bit."

Play from 1:17:59[1:17:59]" Although arm her arm -- kill him like the tone of deeply when it TOR Jonathan Papelbon ultra you know Apple bonds number wanna might lose to he would any -- him I -- that Theo accepted -- replacement of the team comic treatment you know that. Then you'll be Bobby Jenks and -- the leg or Felder the leg away it's if you wish to replace kill with make fun of that this one got it now now -- there. And it -- yeah Chan chop wood Jamie you JJ really -- Jamie dukes I don't even know what he's ever -- to accomplish anything in his life at any level the best show we ever had -- you're on -- for -- new -- you can -- so many times. I agree Gary's been slacking off -- 90 here today. And for the -- Boettcher diligence island sound -- PS if you don't talk about the colts in the yet should you be. We are a -- gone we've we are taco by the way too many outside media -- today. But I mean you know and I NFL network her legs at all while she's the -- in his exception I've never seen her before pretty pretty good -- that. I was. I understand. That sucks -- the more cameras it's harder at it it is those rules problems that are but whatever the fewer players and not everybody yes agree questions that we do the more cameras the more the sense of entitlement the way I look at it. In the way. I agree. On what you look like via. The lean on your shoulder when you get a -- a movement has even more with my head and -- three."

Play from 1:19:36[1:19:36]" This is true christianity NFL network broken coming each and every week if you. If you -- locker room to paid so hopefully two -- but -- bet. It's not some that I saw -- can say at like eight times right. Because it definitely I don't cubs got -- a couple of I -- the pats winning backed -- what you well Payton man interest that may Brady meaning talked about quarterback. Pretty good now is okay I mean I know you're supposed to not like freeze yourself -- news self deprecating and all that. But Brady just went off an answer that all the words but. You know meaning throws better -- I -- he's bigger than Nigeria has a better arm the night and ridiculous and a Tom Brady they're not even in the same lead together. And I'm sorry I just haven't seen -- throws where you go Brady can't make that throw he couldn't get the ball if you haven't picked up. I mean at some point to -- that property to. Now that's not his team I don't like whoa I wouldn't say that Tom Brady right. Well might be a number he works Sunday night after wins -- that was better right lead in. All the -- now analyzing when he admitted to the -- was a better actor I agree that I'm not a huge fan of like also looked up -- that's I mean like I I have no problem if you don't want to say I'm great. Why don't try to tell me that -- barely competitive and -- Gutierrez have been neck and neck every week of practice to see who's going to starts this yeah and Brady there's a there's a a balance between yourself that citation and the you know."

Play from 1:21:06[1:21:06]" You know the arrogance pride that voice so -- you know Pamela Gregg easterbrook I don't trust that smirk while I just since. Believable -- Christian next up PCs the pats winning by 14 as well Brady was throwing Brady was going to -- slash -- put up 34 points. And let's not forget Tom's record in the dome ten and one I believe I don't as opposed -- that and these different is definitely better -- but it. But so is ours in our offense is leaps and bounds better than it was last year also I like the way Moroni -- last week one more weapon. And as one of you guys said yesterday it was his best game since last year at Cincinnati and you a word on what's up with Watson we talked with that he looks good loved the show guys I think Christian. Let's see here to try to move around a little bit pretty good with Tom Brady quarterback. In domes on grass on turf Sunday Monday Saturday Thursday. Pacino and radiant -- play they get the chance to win it."

Play from 1:22:08[1:22:08]" Let's see him. Front over the it'll be able while trying to bounce around and get the emails as they come in and not just the ones that are already couple quick little practice -- are trying to find a good one number last week we talked about the first on Wednesday when they normally do about the black shirts there weren't any in in an ecstatic about the -- after the ten Nixon. Well he's one of them but after the games Sunday build made a point more than one occasion -- about what a great week of practice -- and that showed today when nine guys. All of them on defense -- black shirts today. So has proven his point Santonio Thomas -- line and I'll never entirely great bench only hear Tim Nixon and yet. Larry -- Pierre woods. Influence on there it's just. That is listing -- nine guys that's three times the normal average nine guy and the ornament appearance to -- times. The owner was out there -- the -- was in sweats when -- now not Winston today light blue sweater. The -- pants you mean he missed the meaning -- place. Way he doesn't have to go and wonder what -- early session on to a did you go I had practiced cover -- I agree to land him. Anyway rob is next up he thinks it'll be a blow by the way he's with -- I don't who's going to run with the patriots 52 colts nothing they get the shut out this week and here's how I see that kind of thing happening I think we can assume meaning throws a minimal one interception. And I think we we called the colts back on at least who drives so patriots get the ball first possession TD colts get the ball starts slow like they always do kick -- a kick out of three and out. Did you get the ball scored seeded tech TV again now it's 14 after the please don't mistake the score -- the rest of the way in and it's as one pick. We'll just say no we're assuming any get that way then I'm same Brady gets a that we are we assuming one of the other that we either return for T Diaw get points from. That's -- that's a three score game ball. Those are my thoughts -- pass by four TDs I think we get another open somewhere. I think our I think our listeners are very funny latch onto this -- blow up but if I'm going to assume interception them both that again on his Brady had to and he's -- three great so there's no there's not really much of India -- below average a decimal point of interception but how much of an advantage to begin and they both for one last year in the AFC championship game right. So let's see -- next up -- he Johnson's matter fact. And let him use that money -- I don't think we can compare previous games against the colts with this one we've been better than ever. We've been better than even with them I'm sorry. Four years with no receivers now we can move the ball at will against them about the last three games. We've played better fronts than the colts and destroyed and we played a better secondary in the -- and destroyed and the colts will need more than 40 points against our defense we have one of the top five defense is -- sort of colts but. Whenever colts on top notch so weak I think what better though -- we'll get 45 we do against everyone the cold shouldn't get more than 34 against our defense 304534 I could see that that could see that's plausible scenario the -- is generally. Now there's read the whole thing really it's gonna say yeah B 52 -- thought it would be like 45 to seven the way it was written by any second half poets I could see I mean the patriots haven't played an offense as good -- If we're going to use as little match up logic of things we haven't simply got to see coming it's that was a 28. Phillies that took 27 point seven so if we're going to use the period haven't played as good and I gotta say that the at the colts are going to put up 38. Right turn -- the better. Tell the dolphins beautifully well. What the garbage time count the cards and Jason Taylor yet RA high ball at a Brian next up. Tom you must reproduce we have had a doctor spock generation in his time it's on to write his own -- experimental child child rearing book. Looked into bag generation and society possibly be any worse off the only question as if they -- it gave his first or heard the money will put DP but I don't say that word if people a dive over a 100 under this morning the I only over under a 120 yards on total under ansari totally over Wayne over under a hundred yards to --"

Play from 1:26:36[1:26:36]" I think you're getting your diet there hitting you're not kidding I was kidding you're there idiot. -- patriots stay -- then again the patriots defense over or under two sacks over. Over I wonder page's defense over under one interception push. Under oh we can assume rated I mean -- and Isaiah one -- one as a good relatives that half point. I'll just buy it from top frank next up -- now when I'm sorry -- All of disappoint we haven't got an email from -- on his blackberry and then meetings thing this is so boring you guys don't know what we're lucky to the it -- a Gary knows what he and Gary back but yet you Jack you know -- he's not areas -- it is 13. -- whole -- the afternoon -- in germantown Maryland. One of the favorite APW but first off. And -- will be -- out but not a blow my prediction is that you disagree with -- my prediction is that there's that the patriots win 4132. The difference being not -- but X that's been hesitant -- Aaron no idea why just that you will be a close."

Play from 1:27:59[1:27:59]" Game but the Pat's come out on top in this one as good as the colts aren't they contend they -- tend to get off to a slow start against teams game versus the Broncos the -- the -- et cetera. This team can be stopped at the outset of the game and the patriots haven't been stopped in at first possession of any game."

Play from 1:28:18[1:28:18]" Teams like Carolina have forced the colts the some -- the difference being our offense can capitalize on turnovers but teams like the panthers are Texans really can't. If the colts present tells clock is a mismatch for the patriots defense. Wes Welker has played that role for the pats offense the key to this game will be which defense plays better and despite both teams rarely turning the ball over. Every turnover in this game is likely to be points for the other team. And going to behind the defense -- on both sides as we can all agree both offenses are the best in the league mosques and Stallworth have something to prove here. As now Tom has his receivers that scope that is. That they but good point it was at -- by. -- really his -- Pratt -- it. That's a lot longer but that's bush that's -- shoeless that's pretty and colts have outscored their opponents 3727 in the first quarter cumulative. 16 to 26 in the second 70 to 21 in the third. And 5720 in the fourth where they they clearly called dogs off on some teams but yet and the patriots. Give me a minute but we obviously it's like 79 to seven I want to say the -- 797 patriots have outscored their opponents in the first quarter so. That could be something to keep an eye on the patriots can jump out to. You know if it if it's sort of reverse of what we're thinking at the patriots just jump out to 14 nothing. Even if you match match match match match you might lose 4531 or whatever it was just -- them"

Play from 1:29:46[1:29:46]" let's see here David is in the Philippines up buddy David. Talking about stalwart against the colts' secondary thanks for talking actual football. Well that's what we do it for its not here it's much appreciated I have one question and one comment given high for pass completion rate. And good tackling after the catch by the Indy defensive backs -- discussion with -- How do you think Stallworth will do he usually does very well with yards after the catch it would be really interesting to see how the to decided to strengths match up expect must be heavily covered in this could be one of those games was Stallworth gets a lot of chances as a result."

Play from 1:30:23[1:30:23]" Pick your poison. Do you think you think it makes our at this it makes Stallworth is -- shore. I really hope you guys are right about Kyle Brady and Benjamin Watson suiting up this week especially Brady epic the pats have enough other pass catchers that Watson won't be needed to do much and given that time he's been out I wouldn't expect his best performance in this very first game back having Kyle Brady around to protect Tom -- back is very important to there're some teams are -- that we could be with Matt -- but this game is and one of them if we can to do if we can continue the great protection Tom has had pretty much all of this year I think we can find a way to win if -- gets roughed up. But -- pass rush it's going to be a long day or night in my case full -- fans that Steve in the Philippines. -- I mean I I'd like to into the Stallworth part but. I don't know a match ups -- yeah I mean I Stallworth to could be Welker could be Watson could be any of those guys that are not moss and now though the one thing we talked about a little bit is the way they've used mosque so often -- well from one side. And I have heard people pose at some point they get on leash the -- Stallworth on the same side kind of the Harrison you know sort of like -- over the -- where they have Dallas Clark on the backside the slot guy he's a -- a Wes Welker type slot receiver guy. You know put your two big guns on one side and see how defenses approach that how they try to take that away what that opens up. Maybe this is a game where we see some of that on the one inching asked that we heard from bill was that when they do go nickel. That day they bump marlin Jackson down and suffering in Jennings them. I give your first name I -- mr. Kelly is it that Otis. I think so I don't know for sure I'll go to the -- John I gotta -- here talk about your -- is Kelly Jennings heard that name EU ROI know -- the third grade he either on this them of the -- I was -- I thought it was a you know Tim Tim. Tim Jennings by authorities it is always -- mr. Jennings and East Tennessee State -- What's it is they were with the school oh with 20 theory number cross referenced with the he's a DB out of Georgia. Went to orange groves I was where he went to George in the one for Seattle with the second round pick last year."

Play from 1:32:48[1:32:48]" Another on another email. Kind of -- for the theory of putting Samuel on Wayne instead because. Because of Harrison's injury. He's been having a tough season probably is not a percent Marvin Harrison talking about the -- it might make more sense to have single play against Reggie Wayne went hop strike to handle the engine Harrison. And by the way your prediction is 4542. Last minute went by dusty order Vinatieri chokes on his last minute attempt I'd be happy with either one has Christy so. First of all the we'll look at it base isn't. Often Reggie Wayne on the right Marvin Harrison on the left is now they -- the -- Columbia. Harris -- face it this way -- here Harrison on the right matched up with yes on the left -- yeah -- that's what they generally have done by. With Paris and out of -- lineup in I've had you know. Of course a lot of stuff recently right in a dozen different style attacks on bunched up formations that I we saw a lot of I was mentioning to you Eric -- I was right preview. I had a couple of different spots right it had said that they generally don't switch sides of their receivers a lot of I don't bill talked about that a lot last year. But I think with Paris and help this year they tried some different things with Gonzales and yeah his production has have been great but I think he's coming on a little bit you know even on the production hasn't shown. His I think he's had a more for presence in the offense sort of disappointed and that's a huge loss I don't think he's -- But I think that's a huge loss of what I was about Joseph Addai to. Which means I didn't think he was that good night but he be productive -- bounce around a -- rumors I would like with us Robin Brisbane Australia. -- might be something to friends saying yesterday at the reason NFL destroyed the -- so quickly was because Belichick had gathered footage. Of other teams cheating Gregg easterbrook a ball people it said that he had heard the same rumors. From the -- press they did not say he heard from the you know press that a couple of other teams may have been on the tapes and that was why it was destroyed so quickly. Maybe bill wasn't so -- about this whole thing. I helped by -- wholeheartedly if Fred is using it as an argument for the patriots and Gregg easterbrook we know is against the patriots -- selling the same story. -- tells me that that's stories true. While the other thing is Eric Gregg easterbrook was on local radio this morning's WEEI he said that he heard that. From team management types of other NFL team would worry me which is a lot I thought of -- yeah that's an asset other right that's a lot. A lot more plausible. Then New York media types idea. That puts a lot on our 100% I've by the fact that -- at damning evidence for other teams in that evidence no question. Alex and his theories though in some of these terms he throughout the rule of -- of of ski hill is it's never -- scandals is that it's never. You can have a cup ever buried in he had like three or four rules -- scandals again that Laura scandals is that where who wrote the law you. -- knows Kevin -- in KC. With a comment earlier on the on the show it's it's not this -- Marvin Harrison. And Reggie Wayne being viewed as more of a threat -- to consider switching sides so. It seems to designer -- would be more of a threat it seems to be huge step back -- the no by the way strippers came through these guys a nice for that to Miami but you know. I just think that the problem is for the colts is Samuel on him is Harrison not healthy enough to exploit. Any coverage whether it's Samuels -- Webber. That I think is the question at the Indianapolis and be concerned about is the help is healthy enough to -- I'd certainly rather have a healthy Samuel wanna help the Reggie Wayne in and hobbled. Harrison against Hobbs is that might give me a -- I think who would really be able hostages. If Paris and can't play or he plays in the past commodity game I think patriots fans like this line of thinking but this -- you'll have switched sides and play when he. Could they have really done that very much no. And it's hasn't heard of yet but I wonder if you do doubted him that's I would I."

Play from 1:36:56[1:36:56]" Really everyone else Hobbs has stunk this year."

Play from 1:37:00[1:37:00]" Well 80 -- Samuel on Clark could you double team winning."

Play from 1:37:06[1:37:06]" Because they line Clark how wide a lot."

Play from 1:37:10[1:37:10]" That's why they make the big bucks as coaches."

Play from 1:37:13[1:37:13]" It was -- if they if they don't take Samuel and it -- Wayne maybe wouldn't Clark goes well they use him want him. It and keep pops out --"

Play from 1:37:24[1:37:24]" I know I wouldn't have Samuel on clock. I don't think that. I that's a waste yet I think that's too much missed out of -- if they're not used on the cover. -- are going to want to have Juan Gonzales who don't know about them and put him on Duaner order that's sort of that's that's the the question that would have played if they if they we -- that if they keep he's going to be on Gonzales if he's not on Wayne. If Patterson's out of the game when -- say when they split Brooke sometimes -- Clark in Harrison's spot in kinda use him as a receiver -- who. So elated they use him on those situations I think hitters that'll be Horry. If it's the ocean yet -- so you're diagnosis doctor I've just -- and I think he'll be five he had just gone by the past and generally he would be out of the game in the third -- Playing against the patriots. That's that's my style yesterday -- this at the board or are -- not concerned at all about what we what took place today with signal caller I was I'm assuming he's a little under the weather and I don't. -- and to which certainly is as good."

Play from 1:38:25[1:38:25]" If let's put it this way I'd be a lot more concerned about about Friday and you know fetus practice so weakening that something to be concerned with the -- in his locker. Now than Mark."

Play from 1:38:38[1:38:38]" But yeah I was ready for conspiracy theory in the running up the score sure. This is from Wayne and East Freetown -- fact. The Redskins -- on the Tampa two defense very well against the previous opponents fact the colts run the Tampa two defense -- this year they're running it very very well. Fact the patriots lost to the colts in the AFC championship game partly because their offense couldn't keep pace with the colts offense. If I am Bill Belichick I believe my offence wasn't as sharp in the second half of the colts game as they were in the first half. The Redskins game served as a reminder that bill wants them to score every time there on the field. Regardless of the lead the coach was sending a message to his offense not the Redskins defense. I don't think I guess I'm in the minority I don't think the patriots. Losing and anything at all to do with a lack of killer instinct. Now they get paid to do with it in the foot off the gas and letting out. And so I don't think -- anything to do with the offense not being as good. Well you know who said that. All -- heard is that that's of these facts -- the that they couldn't keep up with the colts in this area I meant in general who is that it is all I've heard as I've heard a lot of people say they lately any branch they ran out of gas they were old slow -- I had players on the in light of this running up the score scandal I've heard people saying. Look what happened in the AFC championship in -- when he won at three shouldn't let up then. It you know and it they let up enemy they got beat I don't think Connecticut -- don't. I didn't let up they continue to scored the second half and the colts -- or anybody say that but it's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard Michael had a ball for a lot of second half to. I mean let's face of the pitchers and go out there on punt very off. And we lost by four points. But I mean they scored it what it meant to be wanting if they would to a 2113 and lost 3821 okay now you didn't do any second half they scored 34 points and now they weren't quite his coated in the second half as they were in the first but. That was pretty good both paths -- or 14% it is right in right 1413. And you know a couple of drop passes has nothing to do with. You know letting your foot off the gas and then and again the colts and the ball in the second half very let's see Thompson is a problem Jabar Gaffney -- at the plate. -- whole different team now that you're sending a message to that even if the messages based on I just. I think it's all that stuff with all the arguments that I've heard so far for why they're running it up are stupid Thomas in Newport Beach you know he's as happy Halloween -- woods not pitches I am podcasts listener California so maybe you've already discussed this but did any -- you catch what a self righteous -- Steve young was a Monday night of course he was outraged about how the patriots running of the school enough respect in the game and so on in my crazy. Or is he opens to the patriots fail with trying to run them down in any way he can. To -- to feel better about himself and his old niners teams. Are going just laugh about Parcells saying they cut out the headsets -- against the giants against the niners games as gamesmanship. Oh what if Thomas did did you notice Michael Irvin jumping up and down like an idiot and Jerry Jones has box when the cowboys beat the bills on Monday -- a couple of weeks back. I notice at -- at the honest answer out because there anyway ESPN past or present who isn't a total DB. Or at least anyone who doesn't have some agenda of their own pro or cons on team. I don't like march 4 I don't think they're very ready I don't think they're very many guys out there without -- beyond."

Play from 1:42:06[1:42:06]" Not that many guys in this room that agendas at a but --"

Play from 1:42:13[1:42:13]" let's see here when -- go to tallied -- and I don't think it as an object lying -- I think that they'll have -- generally do. You don't -- when Parcells like rallies to belichick's defense -- like some agenda that didn't they Parcells with the Vietnam saying I think everybody has what's that if I you just don't know they'll. I just think he's a great deal -- Tom would say -- it -- Kelly goes check in and she missed putts which is nice option Tom has missed her she -- you you to speak -- able to listen really fast Wednesday she's been so busy at work there was a model anyway. What do I do my shoots photo shoots. What a performance celebrated -- this week it's incredible. Godfrey says that the pats have no class and running up the score that's total BS if you ask me stop them for -- airlines so -- the to connect to say something about the stop them argument. For 15 minutes I know for 15 minutes they completely prove to the world that they could not stop them they were trying they couldn't do it that's me. Obviously they were trying to stop them they couldn't do it. Anyway I'm so excited to be able to witness the team's amazing -- and that's even work one comment do you guys do you have on a local fans if you're team is up by 45 to nothing why do you leave the game early. You get the privilege to watch such an amazing team live and in person and you have the audacity to disrespect the fans are far away and leave early."

Play from 1:43:41[1:43:41]" When he that's going to -- you know my friend left early I couldn't get out of it in his defense he's a Redskins if I couldn't get out of there fast enough to figure the game was 45 points one way or the other -- it was super. -- playoff game that's one thing yeah I don't leave but that's just my own personal but I -- I never I never leave games early I would I would definitely -- the games -- you don't sometimes you -- whatever I -- at 45 nothing is meaningless -- the greatest player in the history of the game that's how pilot meetings you know that's how that's -- sports college go to games life. Well I mean that's a different argument he get a better view on TV now I I get there I don't want to miss it's like. That's stupid play you email me from the Texas game -- like that that he. It that -- whether it happened to win a game with a happen in the second quarter I would want to see replied I would want to see that life. -- at a 45 -- game to -- it -- meaning the -- look at -- our -- because that is -- I agree with -- one -- not trying as -- it doesn't -- I don't -- I don't -- any of -- I just want to -- place -- like it was -- and -- might be -- stepping -- making great plays at his -- it's so wonderful to -- he's -- classic -- question. What is the want to end of the colts have that could stop the -- what to the pats had do you think to prevail in this game. But I have it and great offense what do they have to do to prevail."

Play from 1:45:03[1:45:03]" What they just do yeah outs outs they were -- through the passing game. If for some reason the colts can shut down his passing game than they win again by the -- cheated and pictures -- she's she's belle from Beauty and the Beast for Halloween season -- some --"

Play from 1:45:17[1:45:17]" Some great you've got to be the beast yeah out of the beast that's a very fair and I don't don't cost them that -- have to address. The one thing I would say about the patriots though. Is now that the -- the colts they have to do with the colts should have been -- one you know some of those years does that take with a -- that is evident. Don't get too carried away with throw passes the -- that and we've seen that if you can just pick apart golden well Kirk Watson those guys continue to do it don't get too we need to score. -- so that'll be interesting to see if Brady tries to force a call last week bills said I've got the exact phrase but throwing into double coverages never our best planner obvious and and then I saw London Fletcher running down the field Sean Taylor double cover and you know Randy moss now to be."

Play from 1:45:59[1:45:59]" Fair I don't think Brady but there's any chance in hell London Fletcher would be in the picture you may have and that's horny guys before -- throw Randall instead there's no way -- thought -- with them anyone's. You keep doing right away -- out he's making a plot away I thought that was passed an offense I thought they intentionally. And at that the combination of the Redskins coverage there intentionally got the legs crossed there. Well I think it even if you give in the legs I think he interfere with his left hand on I think there was contact on that plan I think it should have been called -- and I also think that. Moss pushed off in the end zone touchdown that put him as a guy with a heart had hoped it -- in our guys I'm surprised if the pitchers try to -- out this game trying to trying to establish the running game to try to keep the colts' offense off the field. No I don't Angola the past when I I it's there I would be surprised by actually out of the hole or a nickel or not be surprised I think when healthy with Laurence Maroney they've tried to establish the run. It did against the jets they did last week week you know run in the ball. And Logan -- into the wise man once told me we try to establish the run every week if that doesn't work they try to take away that we just throw all that. I think that. I would be surprised if if the it's the same as last week out I would be more looking tool the Baltic being put up earlier in this game last week when you I think it depends."

Play from 1:47:15[1:47:15]" How the colts play him I don't think it. With a -- I think you can do would have a lot of different things. Especially with the patriots days with the short passing game and I know they've done that in the past have been successful. I mean I certainly would be surprised if they hit the ball off tomorrow either coaches would overbuilt thinks whatever kind of D fence there it."

Play from 1:47:34[1:47:34]" Now I mean that's the the overriding factor is what the -- the -- Indians on by. I'm on all things are equal. Awesome I don't get -- scripted play I think -- team that's going to be looking to. Looking to take locked in and keep the other team's offense on the field. Not not so much H and six I'm they'll laugh my ass and it -- and no I really tell. Evidently funny would be. Kevin is next up actually amnesty says the same show off from a fish market yesterday to a confession room today establish that a few. What's this -- thank you comedy utley but he tickets -- well. If you talk about that area what do you. Since he did not answer the question yes I am going to -- and I think it's not to -- jobs that clause in his one year contract. And we cannot offered -- long term contract. In do we have the cap room right now to extend a few players especially Bruschi. On CDs at Olympic -- in the past but should we Gretzky. Number Travis Smith that the path analyst -- at the end it would it yet so that yet it. Especially Bruschi that the work Steve -- we've -- sorry guys and yes there is. He can't sign the long term and -- they -- they can work out a deal. But it it's the same as it was whenever -- August and June 17 June 14 of July 14 at the date which they'll pass that date by the -- say remember week in the past Tom you what does that lead in the past bill is human -- at that as he doesn't play a whole lot anymore so intelligently -- but anyway I think that they do have some temperament topic today loads and loads -- It -- the other issues that into. Shipments festival yet they can't do it because of the league restrictions it's not a clause in his contract franchise player clause in the CPA but if they wanted to they could work something out where. You know they can negotiate an on going -- any also have a window after the regular season free agency. Mine is that they want to -- and are willing to do what it takes to get him and they can happen. But the issue is. He would -- it -- if they -- socks off. I think at this point you -- blows hot topic in its -- and it's we talked about this -- three weeks ago but don't you that you need to -- socks off because otherwise -- does that -- for golf tournament -- out there I'll give you guys -- talk -- you guys I'm not stand under the patriot. But I want to see what. Whatever the team with the most salary cap money is going to offer me -- here Moscow offer offensive -- one half over. Under."

Play from 1:50:39[1:50:39]" Over what what was remaining two and a half touchdown passes over over. Colts rushing TDs. Won -- under under a diagonally around there it is it -- early that I orgasm you have to answer Brady TD passes three and a half over. Over under. Under my answer quarterback and I'm going with three -- because we all know they're focused on the record that's why they had to get him a third last week Manning's interceptions one and a half. Under under over. But for two Brady interceptions for one half."

Play from 1:51:16[1:51:16]" Over over under. All right Brady's an intimate according to Eric it's going to be 50 suited to this predictions for the fight if it Jason's in Boston what does the outcome of this weekend's game do for the Brady in any comparisons Manning has had his receivers for years his stats. A the only validation amongst most people he's better than Tom ballots on his his receivers can he be considered a clear cut better quarterback -- Monica not here let me ask you questions -- the -- with a Super Bowl this year. Then one woody NC Brady has three he would pay his two and continues my whole role reversal cause radio have the records and Manny have the rings the but it I just I don't understand what the whole. I don't know I guess that is the only if the argument I guess that's the fans need to say one is better than the other I just need me to I'll take Brady right now yes but. Apparently went to act like -- I take you don't want I think Brady's a little bit better he had changed -- I always thought anything was better now I think Brady's -- and you know the statistics there but. And I don't think it'll have anything to do with his game because he has the better players or because he's got as I've seen him do with different coaches different players different systems dink and dunk down the field thrown into everything. Now I say he's just good and we -- talk about how long -- would -- was that would George the guy who delivers the milk that's -- great things go out. But I said I could see me getting be like if Testaverde playing in it was 40s were Brady I think probably 30s but he's got facility other things going and I kinda refer to. Manning is the Bill Belichick the quarterbacks right. I would you -- as my going to have said this before I'm not so sure if you put it got to build boats that head when he retires at US that we would take out so sure it would have been inning right because they're kind of similar were Manning has nothing else that was like that's what awful awful awful ball so I think that would be interesting question to ask -- one day and I don't think you ever give you real answer along those lines just a quick quarterbacks bill has -- in the past Phil -- a little irritated with. He said you can ask bill on the other experts -- well those little irritated with him. With bill yet the ally I don't know -- I -- say yes because he's scared to say something about him. -- politics at all it was talk about -- coaching style right and he does the -- have a right to he was obviously he doesn't doesn't. He said something about next it'll be gas -- of giving his opinion."

Play from 1:53:42[1:53:42]" On Canada's next up again he says. As to how the patriots will be able to move the ball here are few things to consider the past roster I don't know who was questioning if its ability to move the ball but anyway. Last year the pass play with -- and Samuel at the quarterbacks who also played well baker and I think and I disagree with ops by. Baker -- Sanders at safety one was a back up another -- back up. To the backup who batter Artrell Hawkins Alexander's the past situation linebacker and Bruschi in great -- playing out of position and I don't know who was in on the nickel and dime packages that game -- and was Troy as the nickel he was overmatched Choi -- the -- the current roster we have the same cornerbacks plus we have a nickel back Randall gay was quietly having agreed here I agree with that back -- safeties are more experience Harrison's return will be a great improvement by the way it was Wilson in the locker room a -- Brady and Watson -- was and I hardly fabulous -- was not that he did he did pass through real quickly but. Not at practice as well and it's that you that you protect it -- to now we will have Thomas in the middle. We're able playing his best position and I'm not mistaken didn't -- play outside last year inactive some. Eric Alexander and Alexander does insights of -- to play outside of Tully Banta-Cain on the bench right okay just and then it'll -- outside -- and -- got cramps. Last Tuesday was coverage of the cats running out of gas in the second half -- a lot of reasons that have already been widely expressed and one of the best quarterback in jobs I've ever seen in big game by Peyton Manning. It has to say that but it was true this week the colts we'll see an offense and defense that is relatively rested upgraded at several key positions in supremely confident those -- the reasons they'll win by more than two touchdowns -- respect for the colts have accomplished. It shows -- my hatred for the pole in rivals -- Their record is what it is which is the second best record in the league over the last six years and his resonate as winners growth -- hate him -- built some good teams now I. I think bill what about you know it went 13 Guerrero -- been at the top of the league over understand about it always hate purple in. If you want to hate him because of the way he carries himself because he slams the board the desk in the press box tonight and all that's I hate him hate him but don't question what he's done. I mean it's sort of like. Not to the same level tocchet yeah. You can hate bill bell a check for the way he carries himself for the way he dresses for anything he does but don't say he's not a good coach and doesn't run agree -- you sound like a fool you -- people that that criticized belichick's or coach read only a -- only entity idiot like duke championship teams everywhere he goes let's let's hit but it on and now -- a giant Rhode Island from his mom's basement my. My erstwhile. -- on WEEI -- supplement X same all I'm getting ready for football game lot of -- lot of hype it is game can't get enough of it"

Play from 1:56:32[1:56:32]" you know I'm I'm really happy in all honesty gazans you know it this week is here's a notes -- that we've all been kind of got a point two on the schedule for number weeks down really. You know you try to follow the Montrose you know taken a one game at a time like your body -- them always there but. Fact is is that this is the game that everybody's been waiting for and you know so often we get so disappointed because of the way that these games are so built up in the in the -- and flops I don't know that this what is going to be the case. I just have a better feeling about this being a decent game you know would I would talk -- would Jim -- and yesterday's show about you know could literally be last team with the ball wins. Although I give the impression and in just from what's in the -- to what you're talking about you guys think that this will be some more one sided."

Play from 1:57:20[1:57:20]" Not necessarily and I think that the patriots. I think it's going to be like Dallas I think there's going to be a competitive game first half maybe even into the third quarter. But I think at some point the patriots pull away in -- a two touchdown better team it's going to be close and the competitive that's the Jumbo. To an early lead like they have an all these games and then hold off a bit in Dallas hold off around articles and went in the hand by that at least ten points I'm looking at a close game right I think -- be a lot of points like everybody else does but I think that just one mistake somewhere once stopped is the difference in the game and I look at like you know 4135 game and I I like the patriots I think their offense just simply too good for anyone stop. But after -- right there with the -- all I think it -- take come down to one mistake one stop one something. And whichever team comes up with a little something this team is going to win and I think it could go like 41354134 either way well. -- a lot to talk about today the colts game is big John the other fans are waiting for -- they everybody has an opinion not surprisingly. We we left you a lot of them all but I give it will get to a lot of those I think we will turn it over to John rook and patriots playbook we'll see you tomorrow"
