[0:14]" Yeah it's on victory on top. For information on this or any other patriots podcast -- patriots dot com. Now the leaders of patriots football weekly and --"

[0:36]" Friday may sixteenth 2008 no -- Marines Diaz has. Become quite the trend on the patriots dot com roster report podcast. We don't have a lot to talk about this week you know because the roster is it really affected by by gay Matt Walsh Arlen specter of the Boston Herald all those things and that's pretty much whatever but he in the sports world talking about. Crossing over into political boundaries in war and gas prices heating oil. Well and -- on the running back depth chart a look at running back and we're going to look at Paul's favorite new wide receiver on the New England Patriots as reported by the Boston Globe's Mike re. Robert Ortiz Paul export 188 pounds. In Diego state products -- he's got a little pre season will see that bond with Kevin O'Connell as they hook up talk about his game. Andy once again for the fourth -- in -- come to me and I have nothing for him my friend I'm sorry he's a first year player spent little time with the Seahawks at some point long enough for the NFL dot com to have. A little victory Seahawks logo next to him on the bio but has done nothing in The League the only real. As I said tie -- note would be Kevin O'Connell arsenal and maybe -- can hook up and he spent time in the F well. Really been. As a ointment and don't take this the wrong way Bob. -- off apparently while Ortiz European body lets move on running back situation you bring up Paul first we had a Kevin Jones reports that he was you know interest from the patriots work him out. Now there's reports out of Miami in his blog from Palm Beach post citing an NFL sourcing and con Gado is going to work out here -- for the patriots meet with the team we talked a little bit about this in the past. The depth that running back where you have Laurence Maroney as your starter you have Kevin -- is your third down that you have Heath Evans as you're. Whatever he Evans is Jack of all trades. Seems like -- he's here that's most interesting anymore who we projected. Would be healthy and back in his backup role of but he was excited about a five games last year. Do we read into -- worked out interest of Kevin Jones Samkon Gado we read anything in tying into."

[2:45]" Anymore -- I think you'd you'd have to you know I did talk to Sammy I want to say it was in between the the Jacksonville in Diego games of the playoffs and he certainly expressed a lot of optimism to be ready in time for training camp he -- already begun. And doing some light lifting you've finally gotten -- point where he could lift his kids and play with the kids into a Matt -- But he did say that it was a strange injury that the NFL didn't really have a lot of experience with it was a separated. Clap our stardom clavicle separations so it is the NFL didn't have a lot of experience doing with that specific injury. Maybe there's been complications and the rehab process here and the patriots simply trying to. You know gets gather some insurance I think Kevin Jones obviously has a lot higher level of -- then Samkon Gado."

[3:36]" Who would -- good for don't know why a couple of years ago. But don't you guys we elected -- must be something with anymore if it is to lead to the all this running back interest with the way this team works I don't know they read into that might be something wrong it's just -- more unknown right that's from -- of the fact that he it is such a rare injury and it is unknown -- cover -- but in case he is -- or pace he's on the Tom I know you love Kevin Jones do you think there's any chance that he is suited to. Back up role may be Kevin -- change of pace or is the guy that is a superstar and."

[4:10]" Can't work in that role though I think he's actually better in that role you look at what he did Virginia Tech. He was at his best when he was that it helps -- the -- there we also -- we're seeing a lot of mountains let -- but it's still in The League title but so. Injury problems. But I think Kevin Jones -- better as a bat because I don't think he that's when he point five -- but I think Hibbert you carries a game with his game breaking ability. Had two passes on the back field he's a very good receiver which I think is that -- I would say -- wondered -- you because guys like that I think even though we have had great NFL career he had some value. And teams don't really seem to be knocked it down restored the sirens always wondered about how how."

[4:52]" right and that would be my other question on the other end sort of how -- address the Shaun Alexander to. I think some team is going to still you Kevin Jones is a possibility -- they. While it didn't work in Detroit but a lot of things don't work in Detroit we bring him in here he might be that guy we can develop into an every down. Bring us right he has been signed yet because when you have guys that it would be guys that that are available loosely -- and that would lead me to believe that. He likes anymore or is is a medical question mark to training camp in the season who knows maybe end up on Kevin Jones they both of you beat -- the mean. That's what this could be but we know the patriots that they -- name. Particularly in name of the guy they liked in the draft -- they were going to draft at -- front lines not elected in. When they guy like that on the open market the least they can do. Bring him in talked to work him out. CP till the guy they like four years ago you copyright might -- to -- totally different situation Kevin Jones might be a really like Kevin Johnson. There inquiring about Alec is -- series two days in -- did he win he isn't in that process in the road back -- with Gado made strictly an insurance and a guy. We should read into that people running -- could be two totally different but the good news is running back is Laurence Maroney healthy he's a Celtics fans at every game he loves it. He has good seats at the end of the bench except when JC real stars in town -- Hogan Arnold -- he's -- always a -- games he's not he's only at the -- maybe he's the good luck -- I mean look at Laurence Maroney record of ladies with the patriots all time they would most games it's definitely go on the road to Super -- Celtics winner home corporal Maroney is -- is the good luck charm but until we got this week. Samkon Gado exciting news Bob Ortiz. Exciting news and Terrelle Suggs note Lee Suggs -- Tom Allen loved more than any running back in the history of the game. Is working equity loops on -- the that's going to wrap up another -- dot com roster report another one of these without the podcast manager here patriots dot com -- parade at eight.
