Play from 0:00[0:00]" Let's dollar dollar I'll -- volleys well. Speeds patriots played without -- poverty and it's on the I think five -- patriots playbook breaking down last Sundays game yeah go ahead and handed him because look back. The top -- and he -- wanna go bought pie could play that they've won fair and the rest of the 2000 have a NFL's. -- on that they want bare hands a little -- between eight and 51 -- payment you want right now."

Play from 0:37[0:37]" and the death you -- stands welcome to patriots playbook. I in his special guest host -- feeling its genre might currency. It with means Michael pilot mr. John Hendry AKA buddy love WS Theo have a nine score in Providence I want I think Gary Ricky -- in down the name of the show form because that would but I -- in about 15 minutes. -- Q Gary. Giants could -- here -- doing doing great. Great to be invited into the -- studio clinically -- old days that people please call all right but he plays -- John. I don't his rolls off the -- well bloody. Buddy love and made it easier and not only that I've been Johnson's and that's the way he's going to the league lately that was the end two point we want to -- want to point lady viewers. Today we have a lot of good out there not talk about the matchup this weekend against the Buffalo Bills act. Ralph Wilson stadium 8 PM game that's been moved to prime time is part of the NFL's flex schedule -- I talk about the next seven weeks to buddy. Who can beat this team can somebody beat the world's gonna have when you sound from the locker room. -- from bill bill -- in conference calls they would picture on and build quarterback JP lost and who by the way is getting dark on Sunday that -- fourth quarter comeback last two weeks if you watch hospital that would be seen from."

Play from 1:50[1:50]" I -- a lot of bills dolphins game this past Sunday. Very let's put simply very Vanilla boring game on and yet you know. Down ten to two of the bills were able to put together drive Marshawn Lynch. Been phenomenal easy is very phenomenal and in this time he gets a five yard gain your camp -- got five yards behind outline very impressed with that the -- in on the two point conversion an ankle injury if he doesn't go it's going to be to -- it won't be the -- training -- it has some problems."

Play from 2:20[2:20]" He yanked open this thing he looks pretty good he should be ready to be out there on the field on Sunday that's my guess I can't see any scenario he does not play but I will say this. On Monday taught my buddy Ed Garland -- formally of Comcast network users on the website now -- network dot com patriots football weekly. The result today good sound they're from Mr. Big red at he had me on his web thing a little bit of audio for -- Balkan about the matchups. In two days later here we are buddy on Wednesday that changed my mind of everything I am flip flop -- John Kerry here on Monday I said this team undefeated. Nobody can beat him and I am not impressed with anybody on the schedule that's remaining for the next seven weeks. And now looking back and I'm thinking you know what I'm older too hard on on buffalo mold too hard on Pittsburgh Steelers had a rally to beat Cleveland home. Buffalo had a rally with 114 quarter point to beat Miami and I -- that too hard on -- to an an off week. Every now and then you struggle Cleveland Pittsburgh a pretty big rivals the always play close games should I not be getting down -- seemed just because they had eke by some bad teams as."

Play from 3:23[3:23]" We can -- in the NFL the competition level is so high in any week I mean we've seen it Kenya can be -- I mean this week. You looked at the saints coming in fourth straight wins against the know -- rams team do you think that's right now that's the point. They gonna just roll the football out there and Reggie Bush square feet that's confidence oval that's not the case everybody is due for a good week and you get those rivalry games that I mean Clinton Cleveland Pittsburgh is -- rivalry Miami. And buffalo are big time rivalry in these things are going to play hard against each other and play for something and doesn't matter -- when you want to brawl while there and make the plays when the game against the team that you probably despise within your division like Miami does buffalo."

Play from 4:03[4:03]" I take a look at this match at buffalo versus New England. I think might be the -- one buddy I really do I eagle that the one week playoff from the by need to make model that -- on Sunday night. Maybe buffalo a little bit charged up at the prime time game to have had too many did have a money making this year which they lost to Dallas. But that was the first time in many years I think if I'm not -- agency in did you see the way that cry out -- charged believable in the late apex of the team -- a night of the going to be part of -- weekend should be it was a clean and it's out of the crowd at all this past week that was the 12 man and -- several factors but that I -- back. I opened up the paper look at the numbers of the in his notes. Buffalo is near the bottom of the league in every category offensively defensively is a great to. The bills have thrown more touchdown -- an office once I saw -- they're quarterbacks have thrown three touchdowns. Tom Brady threw five touchdown and a half against Miami. Yet look at -- confidence that holiday winning games how has buffalo winning game. Well it's it's amazing I was looking at the numbers earlier they haven't thrown more than 34 passes in one game one of the biggest numbers that jumped out at me right off the page right to me. Was Roscoe Parrish averaging over 19 yards a punt return that's unheard of you know that that's a great lead in because there and passed on special teams we've seen that kick returns punt returns. Punt and kickoff coverage they don't give a lot and they get a lot field position is very important we don't have an offense that in chucked the ball like this team -- here at Foxboro. You better have good field position in -- talked about that today. And really the last two -- three president they've played buffalo he always brings up the intact special teams of the bills and it is great point to be attack -- the game. Now and I deal would investments of teams. Scenario or unit here either. But that the media as -- if it comes down the fourth quarter you get a big punt return them but he hit the ball 59 -- in business."

Play from 5:57[5:57]" And his years maybe these things that matchup I look back to a 2004 the last few Bledsoe Terrence McGee. Takes back -- kick off the whole way. Turns the game around and it's a competitive game right down to the end went Bruschi get the act he -- the fumbled scores touchdown I mean. There's going to be weeks where special teams make a difference and I think this is a week. The patriots have to watch out for special teams like they got to avoid. The big play in one moment the crowd in sparked the bills for every minute games close. The more the -- think they have a chance when I agree you."

Play from 6:30[6:30]" I don't let's talk about track teams like that word. So I'll I'll -- that I will not call a trap game. I just think this could be one of the toughest ones I want to remind people -- just here is web radio -- patriots dot com and the number if you want to call buddy myself five only five or 37482. -- pretty give us -- were very friendly we don't play. Who would not up down you. We love everybody we we love all opinions is that right but -- it doesn't matter what you think. An email here from -- gets -- as the you know real name's -- It's Virginia will calm me what you just -- anyway he right. I had the NFL want as much fan interaction as possible that they should not allow fans have opened Robles starting in late October or early November when the players they've both forming not out to be the best players at their position in -- season and shouldn't make in the pro -- the year award for being one of the two or three best at your position in your conference for an entire season. Plus there's an obvious buys -- in votes should be their hometown players a lot Abreu he. If the coaches executives and sports artist that looked at last year's pro bowl roster as a hockey game -- would definitely not -- been not that was ridiculous. I don't think Chris mcalister is majority more people that either the -- hobble the actual game or their televisions on the Sunday after the superbowl and you know that's as the -- email -- adjust that as I do agree. The -- opening now. A little bit of a part nearly halfway through the season. But not other physical sport I've been back -- that we've seen -- in baseball meet outlook and was -- at third -- to about 50 years even in years in the -- and what do you think of that in go to the ball well yesterday did cal Ripken you -- lot yet. Did not eat he was an all time worries though that I was at the nationally at shortstop this going from to -- back on the all star game. Yeah I don't know I mean. I think they should put the ballot so let the fans -- it's mostly in a game and haven't and it's not even really good game not once again this season likely currently our email pointed out I mean this Sunday after -- approval is it -- one week -- week though -- Saturday and Sunday and mean I'm -- hopeful that yet you in the biggest games your minds on one on -- celebratory moment not even ready to go back and watch. I can't get in that. But I say this we got a point out seven agents. Lead their respective positions in pro bowl voting voting right now I think wanted to obviously Tom Brady -- anymore I mean would you put on the team for the pro there's only candidate. I think noticed Logan Mankins might leader out of all the guys on the LA that's all that's got to get a lot of recognition it's it's tough because you have to really -- line played -- how good but he is it is respected position. In the trenches that beat me it's played real well this year. -- is obvious Tom Brady's an obvious. Larry is on special teams one of the funny. Leaders is Chris Hansen opponent. I -- brilliant -- what the game and high as anybody know how good Chris -- now do you want to be a punter and a great team terrible team you up their punted the ball 783 times you -- putting you might want to punt for only the bills. Yet because -- part of a club -- there is no better monitor in the league and non mormons -- a good point. There isn't about a guy you know the right sort. All of how much weight as a number of mobile all the players like that you -- has it been about the -- for example play 15 good years the NFL. Doesn't anymore -- Berlin April holes because as a rating meaning Palmer that are playing in the is he too. The -- and they all they resonate. I think -- those in -- to much more the united way of global order that you -- the purpose of naming all -- it does to the guilty idiot homer and a well fans cross country because of elections -- love. These things if -- Keep the -- going and make it more relevant -- our backs you make in the invitation to the players means something. Is the -- more money. Money April when it -- to I don't know. Dedicated -- all team I think the sportswriters go to all they they don't have spoke guys not be fooled by pro bowl voting if if if Dan from Charlottesville. Can email -- lose. That's not indicative of being the best player and I think the portraits of volatile they would know that -- to a -- that haven't been years where guys haven't gone because of injury and we're down to have a getting back in AF yeah I mean that badly wanted to that what you're you're done you'll feel the want to Ohman just relax it by the bullet. Think factory. Who got called last elect ten minutes before the girl you can come play in the game yeah I'm going to make it put advance on the field. -- 50 is you know on the roster. As back to great idea that is it yet not that I. I don't know what I appreciate email from Tampa don't get to that I seep out of hopefuls are all our games I don't edit it counts -- ball home field line off until they do that with a probable I don't really care yen -- leaders I didn't like it. It is -- correct me the job I didn't mean it. I'm Paul obviously about a hundred times and shows just get this this beyond disputed those here. Again email address web radio that patriots dot com the phone number is 5 wait 5437 or eight to -- Let me ask you this go to buffalo this weekend Marshall is obviously going to be big factor the key would you say to Buffalo's offense"

Play from 11:43[11:43]" because anytime you're about to run the ball it brings a -- back is up gives you more of that chance to run the play action at the plays downfield. Whenever a guy like Lee Evans who get over the top yeah it may be Cornish cheating in look at into the backfield in the you allow the speed of Evans to get by you. Six points and -- been an -- he'd have a really good chemistry and it was a dive right in most. To get Edwards -- and get lost him back is when he was healthy it would. Deck and that you know they don't have a ton of yards not a ton. Of numbers to work with there but they do have that camp -- you give him a few big plays and a chance to win the game. And you always do that is the running game a guy can't play action early chance in the passing game. They're not going to lineup and throw in and took him deep post -- this is not the kind of often do that. Not against the fence I was on the early show what direction the going to going to have a little glitches that are 82 Asian peers is that a lot of pub or Minnesota rightfully so I think lives -- pretty impressed -- his own right probably not getting as much attention playing in buffalo. He also hasn't run for 296 yards against the chargers into the idea I was an unbelievable you know Peter has had an unbelievable game that I get a ya gotta put him one but I mean listen one day. Answers those rookie quarterback and a shot you're shot I don't think that hurts the do that I mean you don't give. Give high marks the ball players -- an opposite conference's. Probably going to be there office of rookie of the years their respective conference angry and I -- when Italian a I was talking before this I think the bills are big time. Team on the rise to watch -- four. I think did the team that threaten the patriots over the next three or four years. Well certainly before Miami. Yet deeper into it in public before the -- that as a that are available here. The jets Iran he saw last and they were pie in the -- taken off the Sunnis arm -- they bottomed out at themselves and a schedule -- to an in the cornerback situation -- then I'd have to look at the you know look at the AFC east -- the quarterback. In this division but he. It is time rating it's everybody else and that's why this seems I don't know but -- competitive -- interpret what Gary predict he will be back here around eight playbook."

Play from 13:47[13:47]" He's been a three time champions and Super Bowl MVP and kicked off 2000. -- record pace. He has the patriots may -- your helmet and get 140 -- constantly from the New England Patriots this authentic helmet comes completely -- face mask and Tom Brady autograph. Report every patriot.

Because one -- Contact to -- 2002 extra points dot --"

Play from 14:48[14:48]" All right -- big day and we gotta go patriots kick off an an hour let's make sure we got everything right that ye think Jack helmet Jack -- thing this act -- check check check got Jack -- there."

Play from 15:03[15:03]" Everything -- I had all --"

Play from 15:47[15:47]" teams -- well at that time of year again we're Sunday means you're doing something football. Whether -- tailgating in the parking lot throwing the -- get around just hang in in in watching the game on the tube is all about football. When you're not watching footballer playing football well I think we both know you're thinking football and all that can make you a little Hungary. That's why there's that tasty snack rap from McDonald's neck -- now come in your choice of three Lakers -- to pull to barbecue honey mustard and ranch and they're available with grilled crispy chicken. Delicious and easy to eat it a perfect game time neck grab one today. When you do if you're looking at that you can collectively kind of remind you of -- quarterback in the middle of the pocket and now he's surrounded by interject G rated R and let us. Well BP you're thinking just a little too much about football macdonell I'm -- it."

Play from 16:42[16:42]" Lineman -- hunger. Authentic taste of Gillette stadium if you're guilty already home. Tackle that appetite what patriots gridiron guerrillas tried to. His fourth down francs of patriots brought in a wide variety of flavors. I you drillers are all you need for the perfectly -- go home barbecue check out all the patriots gridiron. The jets patriots. Patriots rebellion drillers. Roche brothers look very far show all things. Growers when you just can't wait for Sunday."

Play from 17:43[17:43]" You know try to make it happy welcome back the -- it's. I'm Mike -- if -- about today and riding shotgun. But he all of the US TO seven -- it is or in Providence but he. That you agitated -- that -- today. I haven't had it today but I -- Friday he struck -- Erica they do it. Yet rather gonna get there they first debut -- as he was all big bag of all he's he's -- are fantastic to -- in my freezer. -- we'll ever know that I hate to put an -- them. Barbecue season is kinda ended. If you haven't noticed -- frost out there this morning and was pretty cool so what to do what barbecuing but it will be used in those with the next time I'll have to grow. -- physical up of their respective violent against that but anyway buddy. I was thinking about this again. On Monday who can knock the team off on a quest for a perfect he's not here. -- on Monday it was not -- find anybody but look at the schedule -- gave it to seven games remaining. In buffalo this week 8:15 PM next Sunday in Philadelphia 8:15 PM battle to back on prime time -- on. And Monday -- more 8:30 PM back to back to back prime time games does that play any fact though."

Play from 19:00[19:00]" I don't because. It's the exact same playoff it's not like that on Monday to Sunday. You know Monday night game traveling on the road and come back to play home Sunday or even going on the road Sunday when they could -- like the colts that but after that. But the following Monday December 3 I don't view that -- from the two teams I look at the bills yet in the Pittsburgh Steelers that it -- that I look at."

Play from 19:24[19:24]" But I can limit though he's 815 games late night. The couple that later on Monday morning I feel like you kind of start a little bit behind the eight ball on Monday. Then -- added that Monday have a bad Wednesday at bat you know signed a theory if it is they don't carry over effect it could be a snowball effect. Again we're probably reaching here and that's what we do we do that we reached. I think the buffalo game a -- so that Philadelphia people they know. At -- not at all or their mastery and he reads and that is his kids are running drug emporium I don't know how he can focus on football but given credit for the comeback against Washington. But again this is a team has not won back to back games all season. -- you can for the states that -- I'll scratch our Baltimore. Much of a tough place play we know what -- can do it it'll Campbell the ball they have absolutely no offense Willis McGahee is provided. Nothing on the list of things they expected on him he's he's he's until about two with a any chocolate. -- checked off to yet to practice with a uniform 40 yard touchdown run. 80 yard game and that was -- for the for the ravens this year Pittsburgh we both agree can be tough game even -- here. Steelers number one in deep and a lot of categories on this is I'm not saying these teams are going to come in here and win. What I'm saying of these of the teams that could. Give them top talent to maybe pull off the upset the Steelers. I think if you can protect against the only you can pick that secondary all I agree on -- it follows a great player but you outlook in the Ryan Clark ideal plan -- meant that it saddens him Ike Taylor's of the world you you can throw on those guys they time. Yeah our next game that would talk about the -- 16. The New York Jets that is a model to Foxborough and it brings -- interesting point one of our email us to tennis and -- remain. There's an article in the associate let him go over talking about point Brittany. Not that -- gamble. I don't condone that -- but he. You can notice of the year I've -- that. It is a great quote from the -- Vegas he'll in -- decor he he says what we're going to he would NATO -- it might beat a high points but it is she in the NFL. -- analyzed any real points but that game seriously or it's going to be more than that charges 49ers Super -- Which at one at a high what was that -- that was like 22 would open early yet it was very very high can you imagine a three touchdown points -- In a superbowl at least I gave your -- to the world it's -- evenly -- right today I was not they have a Pittsburgh in the first three minutes I think everybody in the world as a -- about Selig wrote the charges that night game thing you know -- the money. Calm yeah and he -- means mom a that was about it is that agree Jersey -- with his numbers and it's like he donates -- I know. A jets game that's an -- against me. Reasons if you're at the lines in the by it not often in Eric Mangini by his appearance of the soprano. The -- and read it it was although that. Kind of in that that is yet to bury that -- we know there. But you are -- do -- again can he come here -- again with a perfect game plan. And knock off the -- he did last year I'll be in the regular season came back in the playoff loss. Of one of the competitive game I have one -- now okay. The -- you know I I generally agree with you I don't think the jets are coming into much I don't think. Kellen Clemens is going to do much -- in. The last three games. -- Miami coming here. I mean -- that went to Miami in October at -- that tough game. Not that they get out of the way for the united when he I don't know what to literally becoming totally packed up by then they talk about baseball teams who pack in August underestimated on to plan. As the same way with a Miami Dolphins trying to played for the number one pick and then we go to last week of Italy to have its way ninth at least the base. The giants 815 on the NFL network by the way. If you live in Providence New Hampshire Vermont -- if so did you and don't live in in order -- or you don't have. The directv you're in trouble. You better call your cable provider now and I bet that order there because if you make a little ball -- New York he get a local TV. I guess there's some packages that are -- I really don't know let you know without getting into that too much about it expanding -- doing games -- seasons -- and it's painful -- historic games do they -- do you imagine this game being the one -- 15 you know split in New -- and -- NFL network and half of -- thinking -- that happened -- into the game."

Play from 24:06[24:06]" Well -- is going to be a tough Stanley's holes in christmas parties on December 29 cars overturned the -- lately where they can watch it in. It is to not be able to see this -- always is unreal now that's another story for another day that thing I think about the giants' secondary is horrible. But there one of the few teams. They can hurt the patriots with pressure with the front four and cover wood seven and if they could do that with a little better person on the secondary. I'd say they have a shot a little a little better pro no I know your big R. W. McQuarters guy."

Play from 24:39[24:39]" on TV it's in my top priority at the kind of bust my -- a little bit on the crossover I am a true blue die hard New York Giants and I easier to win games the ride and taken out of their performance the second half was disgraceful. Just this little scenario but he. It was at the one. There's still down by eight or want to say that point AB's a three point game it was still close game at that point they had. We're in the backfield -- four -- miss a tackle he gets the first down that plays a 50 yard touchdown to throw it. Gains that nets that is an aren't -- on that to a deepen our side Buckley -- the first time has deepened Sunday in big pot. Terrible terrible tackling you cannot and the -- the pass rush to the president the game. Hey -- annually -- know to be found. Doherty putt on Sunday at the Dallas line -- al credit Tony Romo he moves in the pocket well but the double a pass rush at all. Whoever and you cannot do that -- that -- you made that great point and here are doing that isn't very good it. Blue car -- the line very cohesive unit they've been together the whole season. Apricot studio all the balls would you like voted -- line they can block that you put the tight ends up front they can block past -- if they pass right if they block you -- yards rate it. They're going to does that bring you destroy it in there. You'll destroy it. I look at them a lot like Pittsburgh uses the -- yet create the pressure. Whereas the giant judges do their front four that they're better every aspect of it and yet and linebackers up into an appearance at a club make plays Gibril Wilson and make plays -- tackle like that and now I happen that's why go back to this week with Chelsea. Coming off the Corey in problems that -- so you don't yet Aaron Schobel does make -- on an outside of the patriots he has Benson's. Day one and if they can get the pressure off the edge with the noise haven't gone silent count that's what you get -- get a difference in the game. Yeah I agree maybe they can put the patriots a few seconds 16 after act. And then they have to put the ball on the Aaron and you do covering them maybe keep -- that he could get on and that's where it. You're going to win the game with the upon return yardage with a hidden yards yet people don't see. You don't ticket to the giant Eli Manning -- in the -- happening in the believe me when I value. And you -- Sunday in doubt okay. They're down by. On they would have points the fourth quarter. -- ever bought it to sell it to a touchdown game the fourth caught about it changed -- clouds lying down there aren't the no huddle. They're all walking lines spirits knows has heard the they've taken delay of game penalties in big -- The leadership terrible meanings leadership and I -- not not indicated -- he -- now. Eli meaning leadership not that Super Bowl 39 ask went. Donovan McNabb walked into the line when. You know this would be that sense of urgency about the -- I'd get so we might lose this game at home when am I gonna listen only there yet but what are they doing tonight where where my dinner reservations. I realized I can -- it. That game out -- I agree with you on the premise of buffalo and Pittsburgh being the toughest games. You look back of the first half the schedule body that was. That was the top -- at a place San Diego hear real well it was going to be tough games -- going to Cincinnati to Dallas. To Miami where they've had problems the -- into Indianapolis coming out with wins it all those games what do you blow out. -- Cincinnati gave them -- flight. I it was one of those things the crowd was and it yeah -- put a lot of pressure on they got into the backfield. Now the score doesn't indicate that they put the most pressure and they frustrated -- early on. And before -- made some of those great acrobatic catches that he made in that game and it was a pretty competitive game. The air and when Samuel made the pick is they were driving just before that yeah yeah you're right others being right late night I thought Cincinnati play the agent Barry off. A lot tougher than the school would indicate. I will say this I am a hypocrite here I can't give the team to beat him. I think it will -- don't think it is possible -- you know I'll go on the record it and now I think everything's held to a bad week. Instead of thinking of right now that I go to an audio -- Smith and Eric Hideki. And we are going to get some comments today from the locker room from Roosevelt Colvin Larry Izzo Chad Jackson and -- Jack -- not the Jackson 5 when -- American -- just a minute. But to go about that for a second but he. Yesterday undefeated. Or answer to adjust for me I'm going to go yea now. I'm I don't know yet. You had -- pom Pons and I wouldn't say it's on -- on just look at the competition coming up and I really got to go with the yea at this point in time with what they've been through. You know they've been through. The jungle in the top part of -- like they wanted to -- yeah you know. Lots of that is -- that's what it's all about right debate we thicker side nobody throws upon there's no I don't know by now. But can go to carry them locker room audio from today Rosevelt Colvin Larry Izzo Chad Jackson Eddie Jackson any of them player and -- human."

Play from 29:57[29:57]" Yeah wise that it but he's not Phillips you know please this Diego put -- in -- Indianapolis. At defeated San few -- advances ridiculous -- made it from settlement agreement gives them. To gain nothing that's -- again that's what defensively but -- entertainment and it is again good example for -- via service because. It yeah bill obviously you are you look at the -- and you look at consistency you know those two things that are sort of -- together you know the charges are going to very defense office and so they definitely had the tools to be to Cole called the head to beat him think it was a great what deserve the team that war but the real you know. But it definitely far as a fan focus on you know as a professional my dues so. The that -- this thing here it gives up to -- away from the the monotonous everyday coming -- from the -- things thing. Situations -- and -- figured -- to get out India would do something else on that wasted -- there Friday or you know on the sort of the -- it does that make you I don't know it is in the player Columbia they just enough to relax them. But some of the ponson whose accumulated efforts to -- the rest of if that's -- we started him. As -- obviously -- it is that they'll work but what I mean you can't think. Obviously you have history with the team played them before you know immediate history and you'd think some type of knowledge of what all things that happen. You have to you know -- of that -- going to steal sending. Sometimes teams don't so -- but it just like us you know play the calls that programs in this and that because before so. Buffalo Providence and things that we probably never seen before so you just have to. Attributes are -- you're in the correct position -- news you know assignments -- the only supposed to be. -- taken a risk with. Think you know you play a lot of things simply want them here and so you know you can't uses excuses when Adams oh."

Play from 33:03[33:03]" discourages -- rules Sunday night but they don't -- It's 8 O'Clock so it's seven hours from -- values -- denied that NATO's supposedly refresher.

Play from 43:43[43:43]" deserve Rosevelt Colvin Larry Izzo Chad Jackson and Eddie jets in the latitude just activated off the physically unable to perform as you heard them talk a little bit about the long haul and dealing with the injuries in the frustration. Eddie Jackson put up on block down this week during the bye Steve here worked out the entire week. Get truck and to get back there on the field and in we may see in the day we meet each had Jackson my question about judge recently appointed them he knows that we just received. What kind of ruled out as he had could you bring in all his receivers during the off season Wes Welker Randy moss. -- all what you bring in Kelley Washington in his -- on opportunities fourth got out Troy brown is that. Where did you. The million dollar question you're tired of these guys all it and I think it's going to be easy to fit Eddie Jackson and and I think it is going to be at Chad Jackson I Greek is it always makes -- different formations the decent thing and -- with what happened. -- love getting guys over the purity Jackson now talk about how he can't play if the Indians needed in in. That again as the Brazilian deepens you want to be a guy -- packages -- opposing offense and Ike Jack could contribute. As that veteran presence in the backfield you -- they are now obvious in the in the they've been they've been fairly fortunate this year. As opposed to years past injuries that -- isn't disastrous. Years where the whole second there is going down it in even receivers if I know is ironic they -- keep. To all the receivers pitchers the first time ever in the Novell's yeah I mean I was looking for -- when -- locker room you pick guys they going to come back eventually. So why they have not our our -- about Eddie Jackson in the secondary general. Brings us one of our emails Dugan in Alexandria, Virginia opened the buried him in -- in students on the right do it Mike and buddy. All the hoopla and rightfully so aren't in the new players this past him out of there your thoughts on 28 veterans know quietly had a solid years. Alice Todd and James and although neither has interception on the air Hobbs is and is ranked third fourth and tackles on the team you're thoughtful our -- with your thoughts."

Play from 45:48[45:48]" Well I I look at Ellis Hobbs in. You know he's always that guy who's going to get picked on because on the east and north on the other side ten picks last year having another solid seasons -- coming back re signing this week is a week. Could be a big week for him yeah I can remember him being locked up on Lee Evans last year in the season opener in doing a wonderful job in that capacity. And he might be more suited to play the slot. In the nickel -- his size medium -- action against the guy like Roscoe Parrish Wes -- type -- you know size and speed wise on the field. I didn't standards. Jim Sanders does everything well nothing great that's the way I look at him -- he's just they consistently good football player like he seek. On this -- of -- spot 20 ninth of 52 these guys who do everything well nothing spectacular. And get the job done and that's where you win in this week with your depth."

Play from 46:44[46:44]" Yeah I think guys like hot. Long been the guy get it done physically being intentionally walked or are being the guy batting behind the guys and since he -- he's pitching around it's -- get to you. Okay we're not conference office and we -- for do you. -- a slap in the face you could use as motivation I think Todd has done and done that well. And I -- if you have a enunciated. Not an outstanding player who jumps out at -- but very solid player. He he's been a veteran now has been for a couple years he worked real hard and we've seen in the past his ability to fill in for guys like Rodney Harrison a fill in the Eugene Wilson when they've gotten hurt. He's been called on the play a significant role. Despite very limited to hear that he played a big game team it is done job. How he would be as a full time starter we don't really know yet we have in the east behind depth -- whenever I know that throw in another for a while we don't really know happen. You know if and when nobody has the Koreans and when he's -- move on. Is it is guys like -- you know we find out he probably has more suited to play the strong safety spot in the precede the spot -- that yet but it you know what I'm not complaining about the joppy is doing you've -- he's doing really good job with -- wells have been out the last few weeks. Now another email Scott Morse is indeed he is -- I quick update on the Steelers but I believe they've put starting free safety Ryan Clark an eye on today. That is the case so we have mentioned Ryan -- and not only him today on and I am about. Down in Indy yes. The white for legal I don't our year season ending foot injury to imagine that that you know it's gotta wonder how much coal and over again that point -- other injuries and it's been well documented. Injuries on offense that particular and -- you -- number one -- roster. Is -- good enough."

Play from 48:24[48:24]" The hold up without top pass rusher whether he's they abuse they went out in. Picked up Simeon Rice off waivers from the Broncos they're going to tell him. I he's a different type of player I mean he's a good pass treasuries a little bigger not -- And you know the bills bills colts is to basically penetration and get to the quarterback in the guy runs it happening get there on the way.

It Terry misses a chip shot which Larry -- mentioned in every political weekly E a chip shot that he -- ten times and it is the call up in a row and I gotta wonder as you gonna get an animal owner of the -- you know have a new right now that the three.

The whole point one as a division champion on the wrote the tune you'd have to wipe out -- You probably have to -- about the 62 on one along the way all. If he's gonna do which is very tough to doing my thing about it they with a three seed last year they won it via an -- what the Steelers with a six seed and won it. I mean home field hasn't meant as much the last few years now though it means -- of here oh it absolutely does that by. He does that also play a game let's say it. And four times they've had the by. More times it on who's capable of 61 other email that we -- Henry Lee -- Albion. View with the media so great in picking the best that perhaps you could explain the cy young award. I bloody it's easy to explain to win -- nor well but the regular season award in at that point in time they matched up well.

The playoffs out of those four guys who was the best out of those four guys in the playoff victory that the other three put their pants. Say that answer yeah a lot I'm not a Red Sox and you know that. How to -- back virtually any angle back there yet I go back to the last series at Fenway Park in September. When he came back and a bullpen that big big haven't run seventh inning -- yet it Friday night and try to keep that -- team -- huge. -- backing him up they really aren't let that came out shut it down it's a great game they won that to me is I young. Caliber performance Colby in the -- not the closer to stop -- was just not only Clemens was early in his career yet 86 and 92 he was always that stop you had that the losing streak go and you brought him out data. Kind of what the momentum back the favorite because really momentum in baseball is starting pitcher. I agree but it -- to announce that emails and a cool it's a penguins' -- I think that they went. -- I know it's -- My -- dog you know I give up -- what is it what is it about is I. All right you know Dan I appreciate that is very creative it is likely -- it did cross the ridiculous I'm not going to work. Maybe suggest that the media should be one -- picking. It was getting -- he really was in my bowl and you know there's there's a lot of opinions that I have that probably right and I'll be the first to admit that. Bloody it right after we -- to cover that in an -- And late that he had the you're gonna have my copy at the various music you know I'll go back again to these -- of -- in the last that we and on the -- awful game a little bit more. In in your thoughts here on -- as opposed the thing. Which has not been particularly great look at the -- and again at the bottom -- global when you're doing and it's press packet today. The utility. Yards the last. When he rusty then why has -- been when he sixth. That happened here and they know what I chalk that up to. -- those -- thrown out the window yards can be deceiving in one reason Camby we talked about it -- it was special teams via the difference is special teams. Will panic team back inside the ten. So they go 75 yards 75 total yards -- appeal both only three point that's -- and he can make it so. There's a lot of times though that's means absolutely nothing. Well you know I'll buy that indicated sounds allowed 18 -- The patriots have built a lot of number touchdowns as you pointed out special teams in the -- the bills -- allow more yards. -- a touchdown drives and but don't break. Point you know edit I quietly had a I hate those rankings I he knew they don't watch the number one ranked run defense yeah that's because everybody throws on exactly what you want. And they don't have to run the football. -- this could -- a little bit courtesy of our house repeat football weekly while fighting about the guys that. On even know how he -- in the chairs. Or even be allowed to with what they've done pretty anyway. Look at the by -- since 2000 that it is a lot of light coming out of my. That was in 2000 buffalo. There was a John freeze game -- conference game in 2002 -- Denver and that doesn't do he was a little bit flawed aluminum yeah one or one point eight well. And then. He'd been out to be involved both been -- and the buffalo again. -- the time in the fourth row. If playing buffalo I'd I'd I'd scheduling. But to say that's a a popular thing I read an -- newspaper recently that it seems like every time the patriots play the bills are coming off of pilot an advantage two weeks because you needed against that -- out. Allegiance as -- apology are right. Over the -- pot but but again. Does the -- week. Play a factor in in in in different ways this year because he was so hot don't want that week. I think it's good to get the rest -- heal up you have guys. Politics and it. Today and he says alot guys are dinged up the army here in not you know -- art yet so it gives guys a chance to relax you know they get fresh. This is the perfect -- right in the middle of the season week ten and if you play in 21 weeks that's going to work property rights that you may have two more of -- answer they had -- the by too -- Week four weeks four weeks for you know Yuri earlier that they played at Arizona at the buy them went to buffalo. -- now the applied and now that too early -- the teams that get at this late in the season them -- Tampa the jets that's going to work out well for the jets that lineup.

It's question buddy and that -- and I I expand on the -- you can't -- it Beckett got the Sox if they could sabathia just trying to be at this sorrow world. It also says that -- probably. However I would rather than get the pressure off gold in the playoffs with a -- come down in the playoffs that they'd make it perhaps -- bring the rest with them. Your thoughts on that -- the playoff. T need to lose -- team you need to lose once the kind of yeah I hate Italian but there's pressure in the playoffs when the U wanna lost before you know I've heard people say that it it was was to Michael -- Right arm -- why -- league gold lose I lose the game though it will be easier. Now have a big proponent of the law of averages. In on days like eight planning team that's coming on a ten game was all that good or just I don't -- game right and the balls different you know play everyday once a week it's not like he changed the pitcher every day in in one guy. Pitches over his head of center and he doesn't happen -- football me you know what what is basic and win every week. Or 19 now. Do you think the 72 dolphins -- looking back in going -- now.

If they get that 15 and one in the restaurant. It's pressure of the -- of talking about is going to be talking about a -- of the great all time but it went in regards to one game would change. Now one game making you and I -- no question. Oh it's legal fit into wanted to win it puckett debate you know maybe 85 beers --"

Play from 1:02:37[1:02:37]" I think back -- leagues to quickly some of the greatest teams you've seen football out. I don't think I always think of the 85 bears I mean that's the I mean I was nine at the time really aren't getting the football as the patriots band. Remember them we'll open it up on the patriots in the Super Bowl and where they -- an unbelievable team I thought the eight year old is your all time great. If you -- an all time great again. Look at other teams to a pretty silent. And they just let that one yet they more they were unstoppable and it was. It's hard to believe that they want to quibble with all the animosity between their current Bryant. But it it did and you know -- of the day is going to kill. My ticket -- the body grinding carried off the field as the defensive coordinator related buddy lives. Now there is no more to Arthur -- former Al Qaeda -- that while right along that I it is now. Because I was game that it booed me you'll time is as of right now the but he knows that -- all the little rated -- group that's -- schedule rated team at that point in time. There's like teams. Yet -- teams and they had -- yet again I think this patriots team and that's it before you know what you know. But you look back. That he you know I'd like you know lead ideas I mean I can remember that game they walked -- 44 -- they just absolutely destroyed Dallas. In the playoffs -- probable the patriot. Did score a touchdown ridiculously and that. Global warriors that are urban urban Bryant should still be cancer that they actually scored a touchdown that noble. But it when I look at the greatest team of all times I mean to -- pilots and that the team -- NC. The Steelers of the 70s and I did see the 8949 -- The 85 bears were about a team. Is prom with me. Is a problem I have with picking off. Vigilant back in the last ten or 15 years that he's that it had a shot lead he's in the going defeated the teams that carried nine note I don't know. 13 you know as an idea chronicles -- it was in New York football soccer in football in the meadowlands is a model or Duma. Those undefeated teams that knocked off by bad team yet they have you gotta get the -- credit regardless of who played it yet but beating everybody. That's a look at it until somebody who is the goal holes aren't that that is what that was in the game. At all it's funny look back at -- team in the colts team up a few years ago. In not only did they lose one but they lost 21 thing about the teams they ended up the next week they went out at Miami shortstop and almost as if you know. We lost a lot and it's kind of the you know -- out of the balloon and nobody wants to blow up wearing anyway. They pay a guy who -- you know our -- out Eric Hideki during the break in the rumors that. There have religions and it out there during the teacher playbook show. For the email. If he has a lot of class is tomorrow. Seven about media would you give either that's one a great deal you in the -- equipment supplies on our. -- which is called in the game when food oh. Is it that -- that much of an honor I really I really stands out very good arsenal it was very good -- to -- and I -- to -- of the if he's ice fishing now whatever -- Poland now. Now I'm allergic so blown up like -- role in the ambulance backyard pump me up. -- seafood so I'm out of the question of trying to again it's the one now in. We brought me down I have apologized no reason I didn't mean emergency brake on the you know we both agree -- to lose the game. Labs will now that we disagree on the green in all time. That line in W open. I heard I say the of that about it I didn't hear -- dollars -- You know maybe they'll do that ESPN's series remedy -- but those games against each other. On ESPN and they had the all time who was the greatest all time team -- you know -- Packers play the what -- sports com. You can simulate game. And that's great matches with the that it that audience that the you know on a picnic in the dolphins true. That attitude that is if they've taken the it counts. The players. It is let's put some of the worst usable again. Who put the 90 patriots out there 215 is -- by the keyboard you have little control if I have -- from him like that that. To have accumulated pull it off all -- do with the -- that. There we wanted to get back in the break yet it back to. You -- your topic of the question here who could beat this team -- playoff game -- to get the regular discuss that the death. Those last that gains coming who went who comes to let him in the polls he's pull out victory. Which no team has ever done an excellent it happened -- Foxboro or so minority that. That's happened never happened it so. Who can do that this year. Who's going to come here in the cold I degree weather in January -- and I only threw one team out there is because I think it is too wild card. During each team that -- Tennessee Titans hard nosed team Vince young run around make him play. Just -- I'm not saying it's gonna -- so what did with the emails than on Wednesday up ten emails and now -- It's one of those teams they kind of remind me of you remember the 96 jaguars and Mateen got into playoff -- a lot of freaky things didn't. You know -- Mark Brunell running sideline to sideline in the ball downfield make him play. And they get themselves in the AFC championship game right what you be held yet. And went out gonna super -- you. You know no Willie clay peck away from maybe going to a super old yet so will disagree with you though of course. It as well today but I'm saying if there's one team look at it -- at this point in time. There's probably. Eight teams vying for the sixth spot. The way -- look at the point -- Jackson, Tennessee he has the bills and ego. This is talked about the wild card those teams will make it. You don't think the build up so maybe you have -- you if you get three teams out of the -- if he's out there who. Imagine doing that it looked at the the equipment -- dot com check that out. -- an -- you know etiquette and yup no question about that they are haven't yet and it Diego I think they have been there Dolan that the ball. It Denver article and -- that story by Detroit they've lost every credibility in my mind to put the ball is your body that's one of this field editorialized. Lines -- 216 -- ago -- okay it was division I. -- they can -- no Miami's though you know again it's eliminated. It's party idea yet the 11 at a party is a -- I think daddy about it and 79 in the patriots magic numbers the -- for the division god that's great. No knock on the -- and it division as a whole race. That's the only division race. I ever reported vision when we think we we have in the very New England needle now are wild -- Cleveland Jacksonville appointment competing that we unique -- completely -- in the titans I -- my house for eight. The other one. Jacksonville I always felt that though it's actually it was the the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NC. It would it debate team here a couple of years go on you know destroy them for a little while by the team in tackles -- if they came here in the playoff game. The milk favorite hole -- Padilla would. -- and it and it rolled it rolled out they were 12 and one experience that record in the game 14 they look they have the better bracket and you beat -- Well they -- beat ND don't know why they lost in the twice Cleveland cannot in the there's no way -- so like it's absolutely yes on two basketball teams. It's yeah it will buffalo plays of -- Cleveland in Jacksonville coming so they lose this week they're five and five who Ivan five that the ten weeks in 2001 by the way knowing them patriots than they thought that now is cool I'm just say and that can happen. You get in the and it can happen as we go back to our discussion again and so and look at the numbers. I think buffalo is doing this well but the smoke in the area. -- like I totally agree to -- you know the schedule or dislike baker needed effort that week well yet few -- Miami one more time. In it through a few more of those immortal daisy did you toy they don't Washington they get the giants what they'd Philadelphia. They -- teams that they probably match them. Good with those are property of 500 that they go 500 again it goes out I'm going to put the league. Any NFC team. That is supposedly Corey is a marginally that's the way I look at it now at this point I mean the bills. Should have beaten the cowboys cowboys in the -- antsy at this point. I just ETA if he has head and shoulders above the end of the point back up -- pilot -- what he was -- right now they should I think. The should be in the they should be seven in two right now they should be Rolen and seven until we ought not. Because it happened it happened. Alec -- and in in politics as -- at least a thing at the pump them -- but not you know well. There you lately for being one game but the that you make those few plays that teams don't make the that's why their final four. Opened -- in ovals in the south of Luke the psychic recoveries a little down on. That's a little will be -- in threes pretty realistic football glory now you know I'll -- an army since my original it -- it. Tennessee's talented they're team you have to watch out I'm that a right one team I'm going off track betting while my money that is the if they don't them coming the bloody glove but the -- so treatment like. -- with the -- it in a season. The -- we don't we don't Dallas has won the AP that he's limited to his back. Technically read it lost both games now that they -- get three games out in the last several weeks. Doubtful not lose a game that happened the cowboys are. We know green -- and do it right -- right. the Packers the south as this jambalaya of mediocrity but. At the rate -- jambalaya you can put together an all their team there. Of all the best players from those four teams don't get eliminated in the probably would guess that the don't. Probably Tampa. -- a different team wins at every year much editor of the last five or mediocre Seattle there's about that everybody's waited Arizona and it has not happened yet I think the giant hole where my heart out of my chest again. I got him awhile aren't there -- are two games better than every but he you know. It's them in Detroit it's right I know I made one of them but there are 60 in the and it didn't in which make them the 12 seed in the AFC. It was like gets him I'll know -- him if Washington can beat the giants. At the meadowlands accurate as -- split the series yours yours even putting. It's the -- I've I've seen enough of look at the negativity I -- aren't they are the Washington Redskins. Giants when he lines. The bats -- like to point this whole ten minutes of rambling on as look at the F original question who -- come -- New England it was a playoff game. And I still say -- Indianapolis. I -- the colts. It's still the next best team in the you know Pittsburgh played real well in the league. They are out in under three point out number one in the league the whole -- category. But who have made the I know -- you know I don't went back on the hypocrite at the people's schedules but we are. -- them play a quality point yet I need to eat into and he that they do here in England lack. Well with its losses. Look at the record of those two teams that they lost they lost -- Arizona and the loss to Denver. -- and that schedule that's that's who you're going on the road and not a woman while they didn't perform. All that great against the Cleveland team that's up in common and we kind of have on the verge of playoffs that we can't. Say they're bad team no but to a two on the road. -- you know one of the road but he. Now that's going to benefit apparently load up at home and let him at all a split them on the road Indianapolis physical when it happens like last two games here. Yet while people forget that I don't ever want to post season you know that want to put it at that point -- they did come here in -- November I think -- maybe. All November November's it probably wasn't too Cole. -- no. So we can kind of beat itself two wouldn't be made but. There's still the best Andy Andy still in my book should have won it -- the NATO but did not recognize. We can't give them the victory I'm -- has a more competitive games if you every tennis seniors you want to -- it's like. I just I just think there are wild card team they can give a good team like the patriots -- They're three north of the road buddy you may be on something that these guys that you played pretty well. Away from Tennessee you look over the course of -- years there -- teams that just. They get into the playoffs and their dangerous animal that 96 to aqua team right I think of them. As a team that can be dangerous animal that wild card quarterback run around make him plight. Probably go with that nobody. I'll bet that he's. It's at this Medicaid over to Gary predicting again tomorrow locker room now -- Tom Brady that the new. Mike were able -- Welker -- Dylan Thomas and your favorite Ellis Hobbs."

Play from 1:18:18[1:18:18]" Was there."

Play from 1:18:23[1:18:23]" I think they've always played us pretty well pretty tough I think this first game we play it was. A little bit of an indication other seasons -- I think they've. Whether they were in early in this plan really well I think we just made a couple plays that distorted it with David and every game. A few games on some -- field -- it very easily be that loose -- The to a lot of things well my two weapons at all positions offensive very explosive explosive in the kicking game. Defensively arm right arm or watch that Dallas game on those turnovers that that -- and a -- they can make it to make a bunch of plays them and playing that environment Hampshire where in -- after a night game. Look like -- rockets that crowd. We got left here for. It I think the pressures two win their return well I think the pressures that took perform better than we performed first nine games of the season is that the challenges each team now. I'm much more data and when you always make improvements and who's good off week and that we evaluated some things that we haven't done quite so well in need to. Cleaned those things approach they'll come back and and through he -- Now with for six years and we've we've. You know -- head and I'd think I'd rather be in this position and then you have position. Falcons' down how you play on Sundays -- compounded the way he practiced and prepared him ultimately had -- gone to keep though. -- pressure on an -- out for each player you know some guys to make teams some guys to get on the field some science. Plan for contracts and as an expert. Some great individual awards while playing the same team awards though. There's always pressure pressure to win a minute to minute though since I've been here. -- wow now I try to win every single point that the field. Retirement in backgammon cards they try to in. Driving the bubble went back the -- that's it that's pressured him. You know that's kind of competition aptly if you want to be in that it is. Quit the game because it's too much -- you're winning now balls then there's pressure. Its -- and writes for."

Play from 1:21:09[1:21:09]" We used price -- the first half swing going into the second half that you aren't defeated it. You know and that -- to have -- boots and you things."

Play from 1:21:20[1:21:20]" Sure sure I think every year you're going you have expectations for yourself for your team and we've we've not knowing really playing the best offensively we played since I've been here. It's been exciting for the team to have been like him as a really in the first time meaning meaningful situation in the fourth quarter. And I'm probably respond in those situations. -- I noted it's going to be the next seven games are going to be have their own challenges so. Start with this with this this week off and I hope we can perform the way we performed the first. Nine games you know going forward but I know there's going to be different challenges I think the team that's too but as long as we prepare and I'd expect the unexpected just because. Never camera out there we seem like work it from different things you know that's -- we got to be ready for. It you know you use he did did you go along in his freshman athlete you just you control -- you can control and who -- can do. Whether people like your dont like you release. Doesn't affect your job ocean on the way you perform and we got quite a few friends out there is on the out there just as much as anybody else. We get great support and you know just a matter of us you know. Controlling our own humans in the way we practice and in part it's been mentally tough it is -- people like you're -- you than. You know that's their problem that's that's they're shooting at -- with"

Play from 1:23:16[1:23:16]" okay"

Play from 1:23:21[1:23:21]" I don't know I I never experienced a whole lot of criticism though. Even with this team in the success we've had I don't know I think it's been a lot worse and other places I guess. You know criticism and you wind doesn't feel as bad as when Chris is when you lose this guy will win it. -- I'm sure every team wants the united though a lot rugged I don't know if I was -- nine that's that's a big part -- the if people our India are winning games then you know they can control that it -- play -- so. You know we're trying to play the best we can play and we're trying to win every time take the field trying to. Win every time we take practice field and -- the veteran group of players understand that and I think there's a reason why we have what are we have been 9 and while. And I hope we continue to acknowledge those reasons and continue to play to those strengths that we've that we built -- or nine weeks. -- I'm going to figure in particular game plan."

Play from 1:24:35[1:24:35]" That they feel the best way to attack you just like they did the first game. Just like Indianapolis is just like Dallas did just like we do on on offense and we going to each week in. Our game plans -- differently and so we do this time we didn't last time as well so. You know things that work you -- try to build on those things don't work you know he put those veteran back at a playbook for another team but they're doing the same thing in and we got to prepare for. You know things they do well that's points that they want to go to as well as those things that they've done throughout the rest of course of the season and that worked -- There's some different requisite they've shown and that we got to be prepared for -- I'm sure there's going to be other things that come up that we didn't have time prepare for that we're going to have to adjust to on field."

Play from 1:25:29[1:25:29]" There might impact at the good one. What does he do well. I think he's exceptional run after the catch our type athlete he's very fast and strong. He's elusive you know guys you bring him down with one tackle a very good hands so. It's not a given the football in football position we can do things with. But the experience thanks guys yeah."

Play from 1:26:03[1:26:03]" My retrieval. It."

Play from 1:26:12[1:26:12]" so it was sent me going to a game you have to expect from. You know the guys that you look at that a focal point of their team whether their injured denied that that most likely they're going to be out there and he's been and now he's in great back form on here. -- a -- second to Willie parker thinks he's proven he can he can carry the load over first set the yzerman and I. Fully expect him to -- world. Well a -- got back from a ball deep down downfield Evans calm you know lynch has done a great job -- Run football BA game in a lot of yards -- three yards but you know. 1215 yard him. It popularize not just -- things that can. He could hit big runs and he's got great vision. You know as a team that they're very they're very well they'll play very good on special teams that's always been. Huge key for them that they're they're going to win the battle especially of the great challenge for us. To get everybody out there in in and try to win in their side of the ball. Up I imagine they continue to try to do things we've done well to get a siren and you know try to take things look at things that we haven't done so well you know early in the year -- on you know -- the red -- given up touchdowns and that was where. It -- team scored -- scored. From the reds and I think we. We won the Indianapolis game by by doing that. Make him kick field goals I think that was a big key to us when and so I think I'm moving forward that we would like to continue to try to do that."

Play from 1:27:53[1:27:53]" But about -- some --"

Play from 1:27:57[1:27:57]" Yeah -- and I think they were you know their cranked up and made a big deal that they had you know Monday night in 101112 years whatever was and not think the fans really -- rallied behind that and you know they had -- whether it was. A it's the you know can be cold and wet snow there. Well there was that one at 415. It and he runs aren't many runs hard he's he's quick. You know you can see why it was a first round pick music good back and he's helped their team win. You know. More more than this year and I'm and I think that we we try to put ourselves in a position every week to go out there and and prepare our names -- best chance to win and we've done that and we need to continue to do that now look him and he caught up in. You know what our record is so. Our opponents are going to face that's because we have a 9 record mean they're -- they're going to play hard against us two division game. We we we understand what -- that table on him that he'd been as good as their defense is always caused us problems. And they got guys like -- turnovers and get after the quarterback. I'm ethic they've gotten better -- think they've certainly got better they played us I think that's thing we we need to realize that we're -- for football team than the one we saw you know here even -- it was 73 early in the second quarter 77 at halftime we mean if you plays but. You know they're they're better football team than what we saw here. You know we're we -- know what to -- so JP so yet so. You know he he runs -- he's active and you know you have to when your Russian hammer when he's on base -- You know -- to be just as athletic or try to be just as athletic as he has because you can make plays -- beaten and thrown -- ball. -- locker room. You know the Desmond -- probably give me time to where I don't have fair catch and it -- premise of players."

Play from 1:30:18[1:30:18]" Where to put those things happen successful. Which you receive though the -- but a lot of teams for him to question just being the back how much interest"

Play from 1:30:29[1:30:29]" I don't know from really embracing at all I'm on this you know trying to figure day is time a mixture of it you know I do my assignments dame -- Aaron and in the same same things as our season you know an -- in the since now. Yeah I don't really get like you know and his you know you -- with our opinions that we have Syrian and you know just keep homework and you -- and you know material where buffalo. -- you know I I think they know my take some chances and Sosa trying to hold those guys -- longer. And you know things like that you know because done a great job of you know give me the time the to be able to you know return and and I have a guy you know in the press I consider anything like it's it's it's this. I -- yeah nozzle if they're they're playing really well in Holland and -- we have our hands full with the men and you know reduce -- game plan and make sure excuse on all cylinders to -- equivalent."

Play from 1:31:52[1:31:52]" I'm okay"

Play from 1:32:00[1:32:00]" I don't know you have deaths on the guys who have been here for awhile but it you know we and you know like great leaders and then you know a lot of veterans on the team news -- you know mixer that you know the stuff -- faces and you know we're registries the applicable that's what's all. Our real like comparing mean inning things Miami area and I and I it is you know moments I would parties that have appeared and and look forward. It varies day and pictures are from up close which I don't know about bureaus do loopholes -- I think -- they've. They got a great -- fancied. It's special teams the run the ball success."

Play from 1:33:02[1:33:02]" Okay listening to the audio -- the Tom -- Mike for -- while there. And -- as the audio problems but he loves cricket players are at their body an interesting email Mark outdated Florida. Eight this could act that's crisper in the let -- I think that had to take -- playbook to speak on -- tech cheerleaders -- you can click on any cheerleader happened the view. Or ticket good long 300 degree look at them a long 300 is it -- degree look at you do. I look forward seeing the -- Chileans. It is the with the cheerleaders -- not apply -- I'm in favor and in Florida tried match dot com. Supposedly it has 99% every -- commit them on the market you know. -- bloody ankle -- a hit a little point in -- Well hopefully hopefully the heat affects the welcome all -- come to Philly called enough you know so Chris one -- is -- long 300 degree that's unbelievable. Not looking for first of all what are you doing on a cute Texans website and and how do you squirrel deleted him because he's probably checked me in the -- diminished during. And Alec and I -- which and -- out. That locker room down pretty -- out there today today it was a good day in the -- when it apparently can easily about the Paris are the that was apparent. Place it was between Austin who over the next Walker's after the Boston maybe -- Jack not a real -- pretend there won't. The group was around Brady I happen. Really -- today to get out front. And Michael -- was back in. Can you tell us what doctor no -- adds what skills he brings the table and all of a sudden that's gone. It's not bad that it it was a great moment and -- laughed and everybody laugh then. 11 -- it was a very creative moment very interesting moment like -- it in -- For a collapse you look at -- you know. Like one of us laughing but he you'd -- during the audio statement before we had some problems he wanted to -- I'm just you submit him to close out the show them that it's doable -- politics press conference today so. Look at this week of -- He employs friendly all on obviously all Worley gambling with with little packets. There -- giving some gains rate -- the ability spread. Continuity in the this isn't a bad game this is probably Mark but the football -- like myself at Cincinnati three and a half three over Arizona. Days getting three is home I'll obviously in the favorite on. -- You know what will be funny the way. -- I'm going to go in Arizona a youth football there's -- what's the via cardinals angles on Sunday I can tell you this past Sunday I actually watch the cardinals lines game but the house or do I sat on the -- with the kids like with the kids don't get me wrong but it Alonso back finger. Didn't know -- violent with -- after calling in to tell all I'm very secret -- For the love have to admit that's Cleveland on the road three point -- Baltimore. Cleveland would -- pretty deflating loss of the Steelers people who believe there. They probably double move the ball much in Baltimore beat this special teams coming into play. -- thought even I'll take the ravens I'm going to go up a city again -- Cleveland they can actually score points in Dallas or roller out. They probably could but at some point -- Happen the last few weeks -- this week's Cincinnati didn't get in the end zone but they did kick field goals and did have long been drive is about the bottom line -- You -- You question -- player development you know his inability to build off. I apologize at the air very top every when it comes salaries and talent than any any opportunity -- even not alone you know if he's listening. It's the case human detracts in maybe you have the third seed you agree. Iron right at Dallas and the half point favorite over Washington. Always thought that Washington that. Washington -- frontier if you we added I'd probably give up that there are -- it is I'll take Dallas I will -- to point out I'm easily on -- easily Green Bay ten point favorite over Carolina. Did -- it's at lambeau then via green day easily in the interest of one. The team that didn't select Reggie Bush at -- at one point favorite over new wall and whether Reggie put going to be an interesting. Chant that you Europeans get to see Reggie Bush at New Orleans note that -- that Reggie Bush is actually going to use you. You know I had a coin flip -- what that thank. Eric I'm taking -- you. -- and aren't Ortiz at Indy 14 and a half point favorite over Kansas City -- goodness era of all of acting the while the dramatic things I've ever seen I gotta take -- I'm sorry I don't think this in the -- I think right now. Did that well oiled machine or a boy oh boy. But they'll -- he gave birth awful are anxious to own failures in doing in the audience on. Drop 30 to 40 game will be schools no way no way and I know atrocious and I watched the corridors on it at Jacksonville three point papered over the San Diego super chargers. I due to an animal Elliott technicality in the -- it I think that was repeating these skates. They skate that -- that that breaking out of Attica. In over the street fugitive they gave that game is oh -- chargers great. Actually rate -- mean the was San Diego wagon while. At Minnesota. Five and a half point favorite against the Oakland Raiders Minnesota by a 48 if if Adrian Peterson's back. If I'm on -- yeah. Minnesota a bit more to Mark Jackson at a time one more here aren't -- enough to get a pretty. Barry -- ago playoff rematch from last at a time at Seattle. Five and a half point favorite over the Chicago Bears. The NFC champions this was a great playoff game it was at Chicago is terrible here. You know kind of mediocre but again where I come from mediocre -- herbal. -- Seattle five and a half I'm going to go with Seattle losing covered. Rex Grossman's -- he's he's ready to -- general. And we know how accurate he can be when things don't gunslinger Mexico and got blood right beat up coming up from -- closed the show with. The press conference from the afternoon. -- on Marshawn Lynch in the production is that the bills. Talk about the lack of depth -- right now and of course awful special teams that it had a minute before we do -- to sign off buddy on that you joined me last. Two fantastic I was a radio that pleasure have you been here. And thank you very much for having me and I great to be an -- in this beautiful -- And I'll -- thank you again for the indicate that ago to meet tomorrow with Chris price of the Boston match are now to go over the development. Oh."

Play from 1:41:03[1:41:03]" That few days you're really take a look at buffalo and -- on Monday and very impressed with with them awaited plan you know all three phases of the game 15 and they lost to on the last play the game. That's very is 70 team. And and I think they're pretty consistent. They're very good offense and not given the ball up you know obviously at least. I had the receiving -- and a playmaker with you know perished -- read -- they utilized a lot of tight ends in -- you know lifts up a terrific season both men and a running game and a pass receiver. On the matter which quarterbacks been -- I'm pretty efficient an -- line is you know it has done a good job form to again like -- turnovers and and you know heavens and this is in the running game that -- to maintain possession of the ball and keep their defense off the field and that defense is -- a good job in the red area good job on the turnovers a function of substance. And other haven't given up permanent points what is obviously the thing. I think you know the real strength of -- the kicking game and they got outstanding specialists. You know legally can punt returns are always up. -- kickoff returns mormons god can change field position in the punting game in also that's a great job of punt the ball close 50 and I get things back up both played at. That he made in and Jenkins as the -- made in the in the Dallas -- sells the Miami game last week was you know critical play in the game that they got the ball down on the two yard line then got the sack for the safeties and at the ball back when I was kind of you know big planning game that was -- set up by outstanding punting again and downing and coverage so there they're very good in the kicking game that ultimate. On Sunday bounce they don't go the ball much on all let's -- the running game of the put and can attest as a receiver and Evans. And a lot of motion and shift and around stuff like that like for a child has gone up their the last couple years and so you know a lot for -- get ready for. That we -- reaction time will need it and his teams playing very well they got their own style -- It's effective then and a win a lot of games. That's horrendously."

Play from 1:43:49[1:43:49]" They haven't been pretty good force you know first theory but -- little left down both knows. But he's. You know ever since then an -- semblance of that in a position was that beyond -- on the dark secret premise does everything well. Buzz around well uses his hands good pursuit player good and -- pass -- R -- obviously but the quickness to get on the edge injury he's an off place. These are got to block. No matter what situation is -- and he runs well for Annika you know cover some ground -- pleasantly -- A fast compared Rodney Harrison but it's best compared a lot of you know while it doesn't play that position way. Over 300 pounds so he's smart understands the game plan. Very good on adjustments stuff like that silent game situations. -- he's very Srebrenica were. Well you -- we run and a few teams this year like that haven't relentless up on third down. They just keep the same guys out there in the kind of don't know -- that it does all along there down LeBron and the several times this year so the guys aura there there. That limited our vision medals of them that we are so there's been some of that but. Unity can -- me that's a good job -- be present. You know different style of -- on it and like or would and I'm wrong but that's. I think that competitive -- I think everybody there has got a job to do. I don't think -- job to do. To -- somebody else's work thank everybody's got an important job important role on the team and they only focus on do their job hoping that somebody can do two or three other people's jobs or -- But -- understand what to expect -- of them what we need them to do. And they need to work on it and do it. Don't bring them on. When NFL notes on -- of those. I would understand them. On that on that's on. -- right now our focus on buffalo aunts that all along I don't know what else ordinances so. Saw that play it -- it's. Dallas on on Monday night. Surely and con intensity and atmosphere up there. And as -- said the other day you know we played them here earlier near 73 in -- middle second quarter. And we couldn't get much gone got a couple plays that you know give a little bit of cushion every four halftime -- You know we we had a hard time getting anything go -- them you know it took the ball to right on the field on us for 73 lead so. They're they're playing well as a sudden I'm sure there will be a lot of what energy in the stadium on Sunday night. I hope we cannot. -- you know every every phase of our special teams you don't get tested by but buffalo you know they got a good field goal rush they they've come apart from the outside with. It appeared Whitner and inside with planks the walker and Schobel and then in those guys and good good job on upon Russia's as well you know got a couple holding penalties on upon Russian Elena. On the protection team couldn't couldn't block you know last week at that was a good example. You know how they can really create some problems you know Miami 50 about a 50 yard -- that it I don't feel you know who -- I'll -- anxious to get down there and get the -- so they got a call back on again. In return at 30 or so. -- that kind of place where that he they put pressure on me you know your recovery into thinking about getting downfield thinking about. You know make -- play and they make mistake you know that type thing you know our return teams will definitely get get challenged mormons. You know on an outstanding potter their gunners you know when -- and Jenkins -- the real good job especially Jenkins finally making tackles on the long field. But down punts inside the five -- ten an applause that -- and it kicked off. Coverage you know they do some different things on the the they directional -- a little bit today they function -- and twist and back and gave us some different looks as well as just you know lineup for a cover today. I think Bobby April that's an excellent job that unity as on for a long time they're good return team -- team. Then make game winning field goals made an impression of the ones that you care so. They're real solid unit you know starts of good specialists and they've got them. And -- good good -- you know obviously Famer and you know as the cut -- mentioned when playing Jenkins as a receiver Aegon core wire. Pagan you know those guys do real do real good job and a tight ends with its production out of those goes to him. Royal and Neufeld inaccurate so they think it'll get a little bit of contribution from everybody all the all the different players -- in Vietnam. -- back you know as the admiral presence on the kickoff team. Every big powerful got down like you know he's he's lit up quite a few people cover kickoffs so whoever's gonna flock Tim's. It was a real challenged him. Spoke with the lead obviously thought was a -- player. Based on the trade you know we've been -- twice a year here for what was it three years. And he's done a lot of damage does so. We -- time stop a normal returns or time off and on offense when it was an excellent. It can of beer and kick -- a kick off against him in the two automatic either so. -- thought it was pretty good a lot of problems -- which you form"
