I have got him appear much out of me Paul -- drink Gatorade at censorship. Not all that exciting to practice and -- give you one reason and one reason only."

Play from 1:08[1:08]" No Moss signal mosque after dominating. Last night. During the indoor session in the Dana Farber field house when it was pouring outside and thundering. Randy Moss but on an. Lightning like display against the defensive backs just filling. Terrence Wheatley Fernando Bryant anyone who happen again in his way lot of red zone where bottom half scoring. He had what I'm going to assume until I know otherwise this day. Veteran type day off. Now we have no reason to believe there was an injured you know there there were few veterans who have is that -- while Matt Light I believe must be dealing with something that's coming days and two days and drove from out like so you wonder you know -- Seymour had a couple of days notes due in. He claimed every one of these this is kind of a coaches and trainers and maybe lights in the same -- but until otherwise Willis who -- getting a day off but without him. The offense struggled. Not a lot of consistency none of them didn't look very fluid and as I reminded Fred Kirsch who was critiquing the offense in the in the tenth. Also -- you know when we're already working without welcomes on PP now you lose mom's yet -- you're lining up. Some back up players -- no disrespect to Chad Jackson Jabar Gaffney. You know you a lot of -- all heard the wind up wide Ben Watson lined applied Kevin Faulk lined up wide even Maroney lineup yet and in the end you know Brady started caught in the seven on seven and he went like five for his first five and a sprinkling it across the field -- they start to go to team drills. He almost looked like Matt -- on Haiti where he kept failing to find anybody open and that it just blowing it exam -- deal."

Play from 2:45[2:45]" That you put it that way because I was almost wondering at one point if they were working on a situation. You know Przybilla talked a lot about it incorporating -- situation where. I was wondered if maybe it would -- when I'm late game ward where they want to try to light have a half the pocket breakdown in their potentially getting him out of I'm being dead area is the role of Fred carousel there was all moral or -- obvious that they weren't part of Angus at the time it happened so many plays and roll. I was wondering hey this can't just be. No one open every plane he's got to buy time. And he which is even break 3040 yards after the kept trying to -- Watson and really and it was a lot of weren't even close now five yards away from -- and CJ Jones there was two defenders there when he chipped it up. I think one of them was to Kevin Faulk deep down the field and you just tell by his frustration with that that it wasn't it 21 point he -- scream right now started yelled throwing his hands up in the air flailing all around. Not a good day for the offense at one point Richard Seymour broke around right end. Or the left side of the offensive line him that'd Brady's arm as he went to throw we should mention that Seymour was in Indy because if he wasn't on the field it would not hard to knock down it would be illegal -- Other guys not on the field -- Jason Webster not on the field. Yes -- they're Vince read Tedy Bruschi Matt Light and as the only moments and moan -- and we're going to put Tedy Bruschi Ian. Along with the other I'll put him in the at the day off in the veterans' day off category until we know otherwise Marcus Pollard in Seymour. Guys that miss some time yesterday that both -- it. So they're working with pretty much a full contingent fully they Mondale. Side before we move on and yet do want to mention that we we yet joked about our. Our on field source who sometimes tells us some information David Thomas. Now has something to be concerned about yet. At one point tight -- coach -- name me aryan. Can't ask them you know what was Ron says something about his ankle. You know so he ended up leaving the drill even the practice at the time went to look at the trainers and eventually left the field didn't do anything right in back out a snow day out and so he's someone I'm going to really be looking for tomorrow morning. If he's out there you know when I arrived around 930 -- especially considering it's. You know history but that's going dealt yet -- just yet this was somebody else I would just say well you know maybe. Turned an ankle or whatever but he's had foot problems maybe it's. Floyd's not --"

Play from 5:09[5:09]" Let's talk about tight ends for a second anyway you bring it up all they've Thomas went soft. Any alarms and we should -- he's looked really good in my opinion the story of his career when he's on the field we looked pretty good he can catch Bowa can run routes just can't stay in the field. He makes it look -- Tremendous professional with Benjamin Watson out there. What's been been in and out of practice yeah beyond that -- Marcus Pollard who I think we all are intrigued by the don't know what you're getting in year. What I want to ask Belichick a question about -- all of them exactly what without always has Axel marked -- yes. I'm not really sure exactly what are -- asking I taught him about Marcus Pollard the other day on Saturday yeah. You know just asked him about -- was he what you expected when you brought me to -- with them playing against the Colts and he said. I haven't the most part he's pretty much brought to the anyway expected nice I followed up with. You know even in your fourteen there was you still have the skills it. You Lehman and think well. Probably isn't quite this goalie had back then but he still has enough. To do what we needed to do so my question is we talk about the offense looking a little limited today with Moss and Welker. -- tight end could have stepped up today in practice say this is a game where you're missing Moss and Welker. Do they have the horses or is that a position where it was once a strength where you said we have Grammy have Watson they can do different things. Is an out of the point where you say it's it's almost an afterthought positioning it really count on their injured their limited they haven't evolved the hi how you look that position ball real well I don't want guys -- think you really have to."

Play from 6:36[6:36]" Focus on theirs is Benjamin Watson and I don't think today was one of his better days with you know if you put it gave you an opportunity to step up to maybe make some plays. I thought he had couple passes that were in his vicinity that could've made plays on it. There were other times -- team Brady did appear to be in the same page but he did make one really nice catch in -- don't throw late in practice when Brady really fired one. In between a lot of traffic a lot of hand. Made a nice tough catching you know for a touchdown but beyond that -- one in the you know I don't he dropped at least with three was covered by James Sanders and I love wasn't -- but. Benjamin Watson at what his best at what people like Peter King think he's going to be both been athletic -- making tight end who should win match -- with James Sanders. And wasn't exactly embarrassing came in Sanders may have had some Jersey one player holding him back like with a place that we talked about that was broken plays Brady you know maybe -- it would have been act but obviously not lives in was out of the pocket. Now we're talking 7892. Place is going on. A tight end of his athletic should be able to get open and at ninety and he in those teams that -- at 3040 yards outfield. He wasn't all that all now there was no separation between Sanders is in that. And -- the the other safety network that there. I had -- I don't know there's something missing with him I don't know for health related and we have a lot of a lot of worked out in the not easily found a way to get back -- I think yet three separate procedures and Nazis. You know. To me that you know a testament to him that he was able to get back -- not training camp but one."

Play from 8:15[8:15]" Reason maybe -- didn't succeeding stepping up the tight ends the state deeply getting out -- James Sanders and Brandon meriwether unabashed in their economy eleven rising the youngsters are doing a fine job out there in the absence of Rodney Harrison who's on PUP. And James Sanders spoke with the media after practice and he talked a little bit about the chemistry that building with -- Meriweather."

Play from 8:33[8:33]" Because ballroom world you know brands and second years to get a lot more confident you know is not finished plan will run on us. No we're good together right."

Play from 8:42[8:42]" I like I'm intrigued by the young safety do and I don't want anything to disparage Rodney Harris and but. I like the second ball looks every bit as majestic as the -- what they can do -- they got a little time playing with each other. Consistently for a couple games stretch. On you again not want to get rid of Rodney Harris and I just want to see with those I think they have interesting deals I'd like to see how they melded together. You know I -- Sanders strong free he doesn't care call me strong -- left right whatever safety need need to be I think to some degree they both can kind of --"

Play from 9:13[9:13]" And things like that so I would -- treatment."

Play from 9:17[9:17]" And I football and -- to sleep so that's going to wrap up this but yeah. I was like I was going to let -- actually have a little analysis there -- doubt it -- I guess we're on radio and I -- totally -- long hair that's what we do on with the Patriots being given enough time to London the blitz pickup drill that we always had a good drill -- that is because we're going -- now what we're doing something the Patriots couldn't do in practice today because Randy Moss was not on the field. To sum it all up the offense struggled. That's going to wrap up another broadcaster Angela data will get back at you tomorrow with double sessions when --"
