Play from 0:05[0:05]" Yeah."

Play from 0:11[0:11]" I can't."

Play from 0:13[0:13]" Other people hit."

Play from 0:19[0:19]" I thought who only meant the other friend. Injured for the Patriots football weekly and believed right. Welcome to about 55 after the that I -- at. -- Friday on -- yeah. -- any real and you only."

Play from 0:38[0:38]" Well -- we are smack dab in the middle of cut week or Gillette Stadium the earlier in the week out over the initial cut down that I -- it -- personal that the teammate was pleasing guard even meal on the physically unable formula reserve. Right he will be missed it for six weeks. That a male type reserve tight you know oppose the active tight during training camp -- reload I they physically inept because I -- apple I am I verbally next year oil continued on the list. Ryan Callahan right tackle on injured reserve he is off or. Haven't we post. And the team relief that trio of players Kyle tackle old that most notably I think your quarterback -- Webster veteran free agent and bring. Guard Ryan Wendell can create Fresno state. We'll start for Paul -- not a real -- and we all that coming up -- can't deal on you can tell you guys."

Play from 1:37[1:37]" I bailed -- one and I just got all and at LBJ what I was a little -- I don't I don't I thought in particular. That Webb who would date I thought he would -- not that that's -- generally speaking I thought that what it would stay because it'll kind of a lack of depth back Vieira at quarterback but obviously. Philip felt Arnott and was concerned about their ability to let him go. Nadal at night. You probably would be ready before we have been so it was that he could not on the active roster even if he was quite ready. -- weren't -- Ryan Callahan movement and we are coming on on now. I found it yet that for a Tuesday or are -- it but I don't -- any real -- their mildly surprised to Webster but. On me I don't think anybody Alou and lethal and --"

Play from 2:26[2:26]" It is now Friday or one day away from big round of cuts have to get down to 53 man -- limit Michael Brent. Yeah after the pre law at the Giants -- a little recap on a guy that are on the bubble maybe what they did again. I think -- a reasonable kick returner on the as any other value other than special teams -- safety work again -- signed yet and not look good record doesn't get a ball past thirty or punt and kickoff return again I don't really he -- he has any role right now. Tikrit with Laurence Maroney and I'll I'll kick out Cubs yeah I don't know because I know he had an injury can earns and he had to. Major injuries -- and you don't want to put him on his body at this point but. It is really given it right now I don't think it's one point in Iraq Barbara I know one thing and doesn't even do that."

Play from 3:15[3:15]" Well right now I'm at my current one I think they're later could be a dynamic kick returner. But I'm not sure that not. To warrant a roster spot and and we talked what the all on Tuesday. I'm not sure I remember bill keeping strict kick return -- kept special at 21 thanks on special teams. I'm not sure they're remembered and doing a kick returner. That that all he did and I agree with Mike totally we are and played a lot of eight the last -- in the Giants. None of it very well nobody looked mall it looked overpowered at times that this attack out omnipotent and it was simply overpowered. But happened -- example I I do think it could be a dynamic kick returner on the fact that he's really gotten a thirty -- what are relatives that many opportunities but at a -- telling. Last night on the opening kickoff of the game was expecting it would all starters were out there Brett you know start as a ball -- the ball you know that light for. The -- they were all out there -- the fact that he took the opening kick told me that. More than likely be sidetracked decorum for going to talk about dynamic returner I don't think he's going to make -- Jacque Jones continued showed it can make big plays the ultimate secretary unfortunately some of those plays and the ball near the indoor wanted to -- having to dive -- all couples forty yard return. Both punt and kick return out. He truly has been you know trick or treat in the in the pre made about the worst mistake on the field for the result -- the most dynamic plays in the return game and and gun offense get a couple plays up. Title going to make the team but he shall spark you and I if they're sort of upon. Is that he's been a guy who really doesn't I don't know he has a -- he's not out yet to round. 3. Well you Ian why he has that tantalize and let him when he ball and actually hold on it would usually make things happen. Problem make things up for both teams and not tell it like he has pretty high and again we go to Alaska and really turned the corner from -- hot the ball on the Clark on the ground rather desperate that I. You know he does it."

Play from 5:17[5:17]" They capability on offense and team a couple of big catches in Philly but is not an estimate the -- or -- with the lack of depth at wide receiver. I don't really zero for him out too many drops and I think that it actually let him go on probably get back -- or five weeks on the road -- the other things I sourcing in the giant they're in at 94 loss on. Quarterback. Kevin O'Connell clearly played the best of any of the three guys that played. -- started the game. Continued on limited and his rap because Tom Brady not there has -- or starter. Chinese that meant starters go to series -- in there again no no productive drive on 21 down that time period and on the bench Matt Gutierrez came in. I thought was okay his interception came at the hands aren't the I beat a veteran and fell down in the end zone leading to an interception. Quarterback from one earlier and that is that to overturn directly but his quarterback play I I I was in Bill Belichick talked about in the close game that -- and they are going to have to decide how they handle it term rock -- I want to do you guys summation of where the quarterback position is who goes who captain what's happening. Mike you know it really developed who wasn't or not who has -- interleague either one last night and on talk about Gutierrez right. I don't know he can put point heroic and I don't think they're going to be able to keep all four on Iraq and compact because we talked to Kevin O'Connell -- I'd. Pretty to look at who thought this how to play acting out might get -- keep him -- and -- elite Gutierrez kind -- right now I'd probably go Gutierrez. And I and I -- cap tech. So I'd put bluntly and make my that it can be cap of minorities -- moderate and I felt her spot in -- my practice -- flop in his opinions popular from -- I'll I'll -- Gutierrez right now. I'll Gutierrez as well only for the reason that. A year younger and tell him to be it can area and I can just because of his experience -- having in the back of your banquet -- that. -- agreement O'Connell the guy that has the talent. And Depp played the touchdown to -- Jack yarder we're Lofton a perfect broke. Maybe more importantly came after he checked out of a plane and he admitted in the pro game locker room that's like probably 23 weeks ago I wouldn't have mentally been able to check out of him make the right call -- You know it be and how quickly can develop because I'll be here to back up on the future. Can't beat this year at any point -- going with him on the roster and keeping Vinny Testaverde Europe veteran I don't know if we if it -- over the -- a guy. Thanks for the effort and go about your -- to qualify as a price cut at temple. I would I would be -- tries to -- ball but. Not they. -- RI tell in practice is -- prix in game action. -- Matt -- doesn't -- flower delivery -- because -- position -- in three -- Kevin -- two years -- black -- I -- but I -- a couple of -- Washington -- there. Beat and you can have his role developed that on offense in. I'll take one reception. And look at last year John Lynch site -- time safety. Upton with the first unit and it big date on the field -- entire game along side you appointment later they. What do we make that is getting game reps that he needs or on the ultimate --"

Play from 9:16[9:16]" I think probably the former -- think I'd probably take it didn't want to get as much action and -- You can't sugarcoat it -- looked good to narrow it looks ole -- tackles they're not at that time. You know I know that they brought him in during camp they're expected veterans had a terrific NFL career EI would be. Probably get him getting cut. But -- that point last night based on what we -- on the field. He's probably beat. A table and talk to Paul Perillo Europe's big price cut I really don't think any of those things going to happen and we talked mobile quarterback when -- I don't have a -- capita I think all of that we talked about our ability. I really in my heart don't think you're going to happen I think it would be a big prize at people quarterback COLT will be a big front yard -- Alex picked up and who create they brought in title two title it -- much of pride. You know Larry has got to. -- been thrown out there I don't think he's going to let it out okay Mike printing. So listen to find him but I'm I."

Play from 10:20[10:20]" John Glenn will not be cut they will give him up into -- tired and -- that they. John will retire Saturday that's my bowl prediction out at the -- he will not -- Patriot 2008. But it will be.
