Play from 0:03[0:03]" This is PFW in progress. You know. Now about how she's looking over here now. But right now -- right now there's -- resonated -- pessimistic -- the Yankees guessing that they either way she slept through and I'm saying man. BMW in progress with breakers. Now value -- and the -- final ask you want to ask -- I -- Paul -- The Scotch on the rocks. Please any Scots would do as a blend of course. Single malt and live it's -- that it brings us maybe than guys blend."

Play from 0:38[0:38]" And daddy and daddy -- it has -- yeah in this morning -- and you gonna say it's sox' world you know even the -- of the party. And all the parties of them aren't they all stop and spent at night all innocent girl. Looking around the room to see if there's somebody else is important -- and it's like I'm supposed to be all happy he's wearing a backpack and the hard you know. -- nasty -- sanctions that would mean that is surrounded -- bunch of runs in. I'm one of those. Eric -- you know. We're now anyway."

Play from 1:11[1:11]" You want to talk to a man I don't want to be the guy in the PG thirteen and it would really -- Nixon. Good timely hit or move you know the -- the national weather or not you like him and she was coming from you're abandoning your best -- her good."

Play from 1:28[1:28]" F and G Mike -- and money you know Alex you're a big when it I'm going to ask -- simple question pointless and who's the big winner. Mike he might winner might even win and you never know who else might dump why the FW in progress as part of the Patriots football network."

Play from 1:49[1:49]" My big boy you're brought -- Not bad and I think that there's about stopping it."

Play from 1:56[1:56]" All right we're all grown up."

Play from 1:58[1:58]" Here -- grown up shoves and words you grown -- Out with PFW progress. And world except Paul to practice all of that practice and he'll be back and we bring -- practice report right well you'd want to talk. He's a lot to live up to be an illusion go to -- Era. With with that and you're you're reports were I -- the."

Play from 2:27[2:27]" Anyway. -- here PFW progress. Paula that practice might correct the -- heart. Eric the lake -- Reno. Breaking news analog -- writers and Gary in the Booth. Breaking news a -- Really I hope it's not Brady's foot. That's a separate issue his dad says he was not made aware that it is broken that's -- in the papers yet senior Brady talked to believe they're ready to go -- go. Bill Belichick said he's ready to go in his conference call with the Kansas City surprisingly. For Australia -- I mean unless he's not ready to go when he's thrown a smokescreen."

Play from 3:01[3:01]" He really lies on the record that much. But in new faces and -- and Craig not Craig Hodges Reggie Reggie Reggie Hodges until about the three pointer guys from the Bulls Reggie Hodges punter. Look like he's on the practice squad looks like ice and every locker was removed there's been no release as of yet. But managers based on our time locker room. Well actually that Posey got character. Didn't seem to have a locker either. But he was on the active roster. Right but he into metal locker yep because Stephen bought was all them locker room it was from -- days ago okay more when it really blame a guy you well know when you claim a guy off waivers he must spend too. Business days on your active roster. So. Posey act got here what they say he got on Tuesday it. Wednesday so he was here two days so they could release that they wanted to. After claiming him from the Jets though it possible he's gone and -- is back but I certainly -- spot putting on pads and heading up practice and I certainly saw Hodges in the locker room putting on -- practice. He's a rookie my guess is he's on the practice squad is Chris Hanson was still in the locker room. But it looks like these are the moves that -- and talk about all week more moves as the week it would have to make a move on the practice court."

Play from 4:12[4:12]" They had eight as of yesterday to -- the very. Right out and got -- offered him he murdered at least that both. Right. But we will most likely get a -- after practice at some point and we were right I'm sure. -- he's not that hard. But nothing really affecting -- nothing anybody really cares now. CJ Jones. On that he would be if the punt return game but the although will -- colonial -- of reps on Sunday I think in. Defensively. We -- specialty. I think defensively -- argument and -- punt returns. They are going to college as I think he opponents are on the non non deep and yet. Yeah. Dug -- to put him on but I also don't think they'll colonial as any great. I mean I think there's a chance he plays per month and cut or -- two weeks I mean I don't you don't think he's an upgrade for Fernando Bryant."

Play from 5:07[5:07]" I don't think he's outlets that are worth. I don't think there's any different from an upper right I think -- last former first round pick who's never been as good as he was I mean was supposed to be. The one thing I would say in Bryant favors at least he's basically been a starter won every -- whether it was Jacksonville Detroit. Deltha O'Neal lost jobs in in. Jagr Denver and is often in Cincinnati so reclamation. Right to gamble on both guys in -- of New York but that's why it could work out the same way you give -- Atlanta and send them. Packing I I doubt I would a year. It's it's going to be all or virtually all -- taking the wraps off and I ending his chance will -- is getting reps. I think they've gone with the youth movement got two guys like that seem to be around the ball and training camp when healthy and I think they're going to let him have their lumps and and he would they have. And -- got meriwether and Harrison side by side at the and don't -- and as the starter yeah everybody likes to forget him but he as the starter Brandon Meriweather has quietly and people pitches through Brandon Meriweather has never started a game at safety I think -- well his only career start was the Super Bowl as a nickel back from them they can yet he ever started a regular season games -- you say that because of injury -- because -- QB and her plans to -- it really over Sanders I think I think James Sanders is the most disrespect the player on the team that that the case. You -- you -- I don't expect to kind of guard goes unnoticed that that I think get a terrible pretty well -- run over one point have a lot of -- statistical plate wreck but he also playing I don't know there's. Lake -- he's supposed to be on a and in the box tackler that kind of guy he's been forced to play. Deep all because I don't they play -- in and right and left but. Oftentimes are you running Harrison at the line of doing things in James Sanders 25 yards downfield well that's not fingers and the better player. You'd rather have Harris and I but my point is due to Sanders. Is better suited to get on scrimmage he's the heir apparent Aaronson and when that roller residency -- and the next category in over the plane -- I actually don't think. Based on what I've seen I think meriwether and Anders could be decent combination playing together maybe in -- weather beaten -- Yeah I think he is that the more athletic guy you know he plays in the slot for them. Took reps at cornerback so clearly his pass coverage skills are supposed to be better than he -- he's in there is no respect. Right."

Play from 7:34[7:34]" I'll will be here until 2 o'clock today is Thursday and it is the beginning of the season tonight we have the Redskins and Giants playing the Washington Redskins yeah so -- I had payments has had a Super Bowl in their coach Jim zorn on improvements right you get the head coaching job right to -- Forget he was supposed to get anything get it don't get -- the -- coordinator everybody else. They couldn't get anybody else take the job so they once he was thirty in the building employed they re interviewed him for the head coaching job gave it to let Torre it's going to be anyway to -- on -- it's going to be so. We've got that game tonight which means today is our first day of doing their -- which will do what I can our pol -- back. Last year I won that -- Half. I only did little validity whatsoever. He's. So -- will will be doing that today. Yes and the game starts at seven tonight very very hard time. Web radio -- back on the email address web radio -- win last year I don't think I -- and accurate 7482. With the phone number. To -- the Thursday games seven every week. Yeah well -- that number if you want to buy it today. Yeah we're just went our and our listeners really -- and -- interest because we've been getting nobody else is we actually beginning a lot of emails from people. That that we're only going to be three days a week starting next week -- rocketed to the schedule active. As we know Patriots Monday Friday from EEI gonna be streamed live on page dot com radio agreement in Friday. We pay PFW progress will only be Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. So we've got a lot of emails people -- you know -- better than EI great you know and although he mails to -- dot com we would appreciate it. But the food where you -- but. We're our letters that you we get a lot once a week now now you want to go to forties the week I mean that does not without its give and take care. Got him McLemore he wants and he only does our alleged -- and -- appetite sacrifice our lunch hour for you the truth so was sitting here. The only one we'll -- is Eric because on the only on the takes initiative to -- once and that. True we're -- another thing and I'll play their eyes Marca on a you know. Real men don't make the -- That's okay at that went out that at a doughnut through for a that's not -- that. It. Brown bagging your lunch that's not a -- as somebody make it board. Now -- homophobia is reached new heights real real men do whatever the hell they wanted to that's right there. You want to be an artist you're not. An outer rhythm and I don't primary wanted just don't -- look if you are so proud. Birdies on your side. Yeah he's never on my side I'm on my side -- decided what cricket -- and I jump ship and start making fun of him. So are -- so well we've we've got that to take care so let's talk about the schedule. Next week. Regular season schedule Patriots Monday starting at 6 AM going all day Brady. 8 AM. That they started at. But they don't -- but they talk politics and -- until 8 o'clock and Embree emblem. Well last week they had radio at 6:15 in the morning and they replace him -- o'clock -- I love these truly in progress arguments about like actually -- that anyway okay so. Patriots Monday at 8 o'clock Brady lives. Belichick alive at the 5 o'clock hour you -- players throughout the day. It's really not that bad and you know it's it's good that you get to hear that because a lot of news does not bad I don't think I'm just great I'm talking to the people who end of the emails that we don't want to hear that because. Player -- date. The player interviews on page -- they often do. -- that being newsworthy stories how do you how many times -- they quoted because yeah you don't get limited access to Brady and he says something with Dennis and Callahan that they -- and get reporters and every -- let's -- around the -- live historically dot com radio. They if Belichick and he he's more open I think with that crew that he is with the general meeting clearly so it's really worth listening to on Monday that your gut. I Tuesday Wednesday Thursday from twelve to two for two before you got rook and Eric -- not a -- Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and accurate but. Not called checkmate -- now. I don't I don't I've met from the fans for an but you have the oh from two to four different -- now aren't. I now what day Thursdays. From four to five. You gonna have Brian Lowe. Fan you load -- yet he's going to be hosting a show on Thursday and fortify. Called the the data loaded down with Brian Lowe. And then we're looking at a show with Brian -- and Andre Tippett. And around management noon. I think basically about you know have alumni get talking about gay also talking about what's going on today. But it kind of centered around the hall a picture plays and you know -- collagen in today's topic how great the whole thing in. So so tomorrow's topic how greater is the -- thing that's going to be on Tuesday from fortified. And Gary doesn't notice but we might have a special show beyond that that was the work. Outing who. Okay now. Other news the PFW TV she'll have to let people know about this we were going to be on Comcast this year. Somehow that deal is out the table I have no idea what happened offer on the table. Off that they might be out the window out the window off the table it's gone there's no this no PFW don't contest we are. Back on New England cable news -- it. So that'll be film that Tuesday's in airing on Tuesday -- eleven. Just as it did last year beyond our control as well beyond architectural -- made well above market right. But let me know some of our listeners were excited because. Comcast is more widely available. Anywhere on the satellite satellite they they were thinking -- he has unfortunately they won't. I'm sure well I'm going to effort getting a tape of the show that we can upload it to -- come at the very Lee we should effort to do that. Like that sounds so. But that is. Not I mean we're happy to be a -- but we were looking forward to doing -- show with Albert -- that would have been. On that pretty good there have been a lot of that would flamed -- so we have no idea questioned by what happened with that as well. And I out of."

Play from 14:21[14:21]" Or go to the phone calls we should also mention the general change of schedule moving forward for regular season -- dealing with Bill Belichick media availability. Bill -- will be now be doing a Tuesday conference call. Generally there was nothing on Tuesday so pictures that -- have the conference call but there won't be a bill Belgian press conference anymore on Thursday there will simply be player availability -- a little bit change in the week different people that tune into his. Right so let's go over that again for those people who like to listen or watch the belts a Glavin pitch dot com or download the press conferences give the full. Weekly in season press conference -- for -- Monday. Monday in general is that Belichick press conference and player availability sometimes sometimes no player availability kind of more more times not right kind of more than he was here -- yeah hopefully Tuesday it will now -- a conference call that I think is tentatively scheduled to -- new moon and -- during our show we won't carry -- but will monitor that call bring -- any news it'll be available Patriots dot com. Then Wednesday's will be still sort of the big media day yeah where you have the opposing player conference calls you have a -- press open locker room. My guess is you can still have Tom Brady on Wednesday's even on this week it was a little little bit altered. Thursday then will just be player availability here at Gillette Stadium you get your update and quotes out of the locker room. Then Friday. Is going to be Bill Belichick it looks like it's going to be alternating coordinators between Josh mcdaniels who's going to be this week's Dean Pees. And then you'll have obviously player availability walked and then the normal posting stuff -- the conference. So we'll have you covered everything that's available but it will just be tweaked a little terms of the schedule."

Play from 16:05[16:05]" Oh Josh has go -- you guys didn't consult anyone was ever bought you lunch -- trimming down your schedule be cut back and we -- we're at a news today you take back one day at PFW progress and we take away launches on most days they've given today. Also I was going to buy a POW private teacher. But made a thirty dollar donation to the Obama campaign and all law. Alou thing you. Your line not one of our spirits on -- on run well and if you you know. Front office at Patriots dot com should be -- you -- that -- it was a it and we don't make any decisions Swedish open door toll right in this of having a player credit card by once you know having two shows that simultaneously. Come emanating from two days to Bradley and you know and let's be on as much as I'd like what we have to say. One player -- fans like Europe and they'll actually he's obviously I mean every team I've gotten is that they don't like now in my mind our show if you gave us the availability of those players."

Play from 17:07[17:07]" Would be tremendous we'd be way better than the EI could put out but when given. -- people. Oh we know what Wes Welker on here Matt Cassel and it's funny stuff it. They get Logan he's going. -- into the ground game rooms and -- I just right and Daunte Culpepper has retired in -- 82 to his fantasy football league that is all -- I bet my life I had an off that that's -- the Culpepper rapidly I in the you know -- take help directly email and ask PFW last week asking -- chance with the team and he watched you pre season games but we could use or. Tackled from behind we -- need it right the see that lineup straw that broke the Camel's back. You lose stroke that -- yeah he's that if any art doesn't again evident morons -- call a career and a for the record -- morning on. On my crappy team that league what I get -- by autumn and whose era. Halfway through Q. He's had a good team. You -- casual players right Roydell Williams. He's on the heart foundation but I don't think he's definitely regarded at Richmond dynasty met in somebody else by them. Already lost. Oh oh by the way rainy month. Oh yet. -- he on the phone or is that just the Mets that knows the -- Chris from the brought it is catching up today. Our favorite listener not some loser -- and pressed about the going to and the contribution shouldn't -- as we want to -- yeah rock as important to tell it Chris at all from the Bronx what the Columbia and Yale I don't know what he's doing listening to the show we have a lot of hired an agent listeners don't need to pretend that there'll also. Bought my job yes you both are mean. Yes we can we not blow the -- shall not are bringing up sort topic. Are right and the other thing Greg a favor by -- iron I hate Obama and I don't want my name associated with a contribution it was you hate him yes. Hate him per second -- agent I. January we're going to blame -- Bliley they've pipelines and that's great though pipeline that rated show. I don't hate the man but I don't want my name associated of them create demand -- pollution like pitiful that he liked you he says pompous as any individual were away -- and he's a lot like you we pulpit and has never done. Is could it be reds and that's where you'll be. On that developed John. I don't need to ban on -- by that automatic to lose a half watch for the show. I guarantee you okay it's a pretty impressive win for McCain about that it won't in the club won't even be close. Okay chance anyway this is going to get process. This isn't politics people didn't tune in through well through you yours your views are my user would go right. Three -- Barack Obama. The web radio at pictures dot com well we have we get get ready for the -- coming out and a half point favorite they were all the beginning of the week that -- that at all. I don't believe so with the Brady news and a little high -- I try to use some of our coworkers -- players who are super fans as a barometer for quote unquote super fans Patriot nation. -- Computer monkey very area area Cabrera Erik I think that she have a legitimate shot to win this game press isn't -- strong case. I ego is struggling Larry Johnson coming out against -- deepened it -- a better rushing for 200 yards. Well -- respiratory yards that it -- when I don't think they'll probability of that happening is slim to none I mean that they haven't had. -- quarterback. Do well against them but I don't I don't see I mean they are starting line -- what it used to be I'd like -- that was this rank you know ten rookies isolate one matchup on the offensive line Branden Albert. First -- Guard at the University of Virginia played I believe like who snaps left tackle spot. Because he has great the -- Bob I'll -- utley is an NFL left tackle who's gonna start the Kansas City she this Sunday in all likelihood. Start up. Which which -- is an left tackle left tackle tackle Richard Seymour and dale -- that -- if they don't have an old field day with Brandon Albert. Then you're in for a terribly long season in and jump off the bridge but my guess is Richard and what's going to kill him. A deal I'm going to run by him and Brodie Croyle is going to get broken in half. He was a guard was drafted away higher -- ridiculous. And and I think if you start to really break this matchup down beyond even one team's old one team's young one -- be good wanting isn't. I think it's just matchup with the Patriots could -- I mean it's pretty clear that gets his mail this season in just about that that well. It's a youth movement I mean they're trying barbecue next year -- right right if they tried to pull a minor. Barry on Herschel walker type trade all the picks or Jared Allen didn't -- in the mountain out of."

Play from 22:16[22:16]" That he was. You know. And an eight hour you know going into the end of the season it in the kind of showed little bit okay like Chris saying. You know they have a shot but I first game of the -- he already had so many new faces on the road. No way behind my agent Larry Johnson. Hasn't been good and a year and a half. He's had a putting president -- is pre season was not good he had he averaged like three point happier now -- tell the pre season and how it puts young stars net but. To just expected to all the sudden come out rushed for 200 yards against the first game what. I am giving -- defensive front line credit that they're not going to be horrendous quickly if they get pushed around like a bunch are rookies and and -- starters in. Guys who have been around the league and various places then as I that you have more problems that you could even Matsui agree that it -- outside -- new look or deepened the Patriots it's a pretty good I think the Patriots are lucky. Lie actually -- I think this isn't a fifth pre season game. My outlet that had a video has against the Larry Johnson is a pretty good back with -- healthy it's a good look he would drive -- you can do it again or our parents aren't bad -- I think it's a good game for them to come -- out that it that it motivated individual this sort of -- of the -- prove anything against Kansas City -- If you'll let the will that prove you think but -- speed of forty suited the seventh does that prove anything not -- now while somewhat I mean. They couldn't get out of the wrong way in the -- right but we're only Kansas -- going to be the dog of the AFC. Wanna I wanna be one of one bottom five teams probably put right. Oh really -- we kind of have to either and do really well against this team if they don't cover should do well I would be a little bit worried and I -- and don't cover as you speak. What you just said -- sixteen have missed -- did today and I just because office has clicked yet. We haven't seen off two words. -- greatly. And speaking of him we did mention is that that he's good to go. He had no knowledge of -- broken anything. He was an all that -- was actually nothing started by Chris -- in a few weeks ago well then let's yesterday aren't EI on Monday. You know. They -- had the whole theory about the the circle for did you read that by the way. What are you -- circle of four on the Patriots he claims that this -- source telling him that with any. Player injury only four people ever know exactly what it is Belichick. That the doctor the trainer in the player. Now he felt that as many trainers and many doctors on this team but while that wouldn't even if Brady had a broken foot only four people in the world would know what the exact injury is probably true aren't they. Other trainers know but. Other players product and -- red personally technicality. Exactly what the injury the exact nature. Well if you're if you're trainer you're reading Tom Brady don't you need to know what the injury is that you can treat it correctly yes sort of but I know yet duty -- how real those sort because if Jim -- me as an assistant trainer and as. I need you to do a deep massage -- that for ten minutes then do ultra sound for fifteen and ice -- telling him to do that. Jim -- of -- goes to a dead and that those three things out. I don't know that the injury I just know exactly what I was told to do by -- error here I possibly -- that's possible let's -- that's completely plausible that that circle fourth thing could be accurate with an of of another assistant trainer. It's 'cause usually think I'm -- what the advantage of Bill Belichick not answering every question ever put -- four. They like to keep things tight and certainly with the injury I buy it I think it's very -- the first time ever and and ties it not true it probably was accurate okay so that a win in the past -- He reports have made apparel of the globe and they've been accurate how the heck does that happen on the doctor. The doctor but not it's not a player telling is batter it's not a player telling is. I'm a Fraley could happen but I. Don't like what are all that. Goes out yet if anyone of the four talks that it's a bigger than -- crooked and it is certainly an inability to right -- hello -- they're keeping it to a circle or they're not I telling every team does but I think I don't think like this I think it's kind of our daughter. You know or clandestine whatever you want to win this game it's it's kind of impossible for a player. Not to share information about his own injury what what other guys on the team exactly is it impossible for people yeah more people who know physically at the part where he does the epic nature of the injury. What that -- basically --"

Play from 27:04[27:04]" We apostle eyes and think that's impossible I'd well. Anyway that's all there is a historical or Tapia if he's -- to -- our little more than other healthy dose. Of stupid. Who's on the circuit -- even -- dumb idiotic. Useless pointless. I disagree. I'm getting -- down with a friend. How about getting security their one of rice letting -- I was -- is right here it's against the woman and you're right you're okay. All right all right -- Chris Perez made that weren't getting I'll read it right falls back Al with -- threat on the high I think it's -- a line. I -- one of the practice. Practice this crap about practice Bill Belichick promised. It's. More roster moves to come and he did not. Why is where we kinda if we were right Aaron -- we sort of foreshadow this that -- it is okay -- them there -- two moves made one minor in nature on the practice squad that Tyson to re tied and was like go. Reggie Hodges a punter out of Ball State was signed in his place he was out there and a wearing number two Noah. That's big in the Internet circles -- number guys -- for that he was out there -- Another what I would consider minor move on the active roster in all tight and you don't win. Involved tight and even bought his back replacing the previous number 82. Tim yes oh yes that vehicle I won at the -- and we don't you know they can release is or or they just. They just signed him I've claimed him off waivers and he lasted three days okay so that was BS at the last two that was it it relatives and there was another -- major -- Friday night and earn a living by inability that they'll be. I said did you build diligent promise they'll be roster moves and he did not want they but I like what let him astray when you said one minor -- this one really minor move was on the practice and in our own minor an agent well that's why -- But that actually that big an accurate and -- Arizona -- attendance -- Same guys basically that haven't been around as of late Kevin -- serving and he's not allowed to practice. Joined by Dan Conley Benjamin Watson Sam -- and beat Stephen Smith. That's the group that basically has -- been out there one interesting game which I'm sure. Has sort of next explanation Stephen Gostkowski was not out there and practice which I was a little odd but we could not find him in our allotted. Media has. -- state -- also -- I don't know a whole lot about him Reggie -- and -- a lot -- the -- I watch what I say about him every -- everybody. Is worried you know I -- a -- last -- with an injury -- I assume that's -- I -- to show last night and it looked like he would -- that injury label and now -- you -- and I was like. When when exactly if you -- an injury and when he picked it hurt him -- that's always been -- knock on Benjamin Watson and he you know it hasn't been able to be terrible and the field of the one that. Well I thought this as an aside -- commentary by Wes Welker was out there Wes Welker was out there finished in in uniform. -- yeah I should -- orange shorts today without a doubt the under Shell short -- we don't they haven't got room in the back rooms. So now why -- why wouldn't -- must along a short of the preparation and looking already was out there moving around as he has been very real."

Play from 30:41[30:41]" Practice -- why would they make a move like that at tight end they had Spock he made the team initially. They cut him they pick up the Posey active in the Jets for two days. They cut him and bring back -- why not just -- Spock alone because they wanted to hear he will pose and they gave me use -- try that a triumph with it in but I mean had. I mean you claimed him so you had no lightning aren't adding Derrick pointed it is. Why did they claim -- the first night. I guess it's a -- negative thing I did anything more sophisticated and a little bit and Fred had to -- what he had -- and said. Well he's got an open spot. And you go back to -- got a Yugo back with a guy who already -- system and one skiers that little bit ago when you know I think it's a little bit curious Eric items that it's not like a you know like the media former Pro Bowl tight and and they wanted to ailment he's got some -- system and -- I couldn't try him out he indicated -- clear waivers and they wanted to machines they. You know they had enough interest and they had to -- probably even balk when released would still be available to them days later ago. It feels signs are putting too exposed and after Africa. The most and been there were but I'm Josh Morgan -- no way the Patriots cover and it Croyle will burn are secondary -- it'll get over budget yards they got a call. Now points that a good spread. Too much like little little high. Hi 121 look at the prediction -- and later in the pro right right right I mean you got a little high nets -- opening -- I was a little high and it but if they don't cover. Well I would be got within I -- I if they don't cover I'm concerned about this team given. All the new faces Kansas City on the road first game of the season. You know. Out highlighting how do -- concern if they want covering that that numbers we gate that I would be weak one. I understand both the point yeah but I you know if if they -- a game like you know -- now 2713. At some point that. Note no Ohio via yeah that's not a military dominant winning by fifteen point like that's all I guess. If the fans want to see defense keep them under fourteen points. And I also think they can look very dominant without. Oh you're still going to count on the offence -- score. I don't have the belief that the defense only going to be great and going to go back as you said the other day that 2003 where they can win a game 103 and look at you say while I was most dominant 103 victory ever I think this team is going to need to score that was the year not I wondered all started. The -- right. I think because they were Zamir when he -- you might be right you know. Because they they score a field goal they saw the other team a couple times in the first quarter. And you say it's over I now I think they are when they go up fourteen points with a off a couple offensive big plays drives now that's when -- girl that's there. That's what they are now is an offense led team. I'm not and we buying them they're going to --"

Play from 33:38[33:38]" I agree there and offensively led team I just don't think that I think you can easily when he game by a couple of scores being dominant and of the game not being -- probably -- going to happen this week I just don't know it's going to be like last year I think -- it was the the exception because it was so good offensively out dominant what you said Andy. Fourteen nothing first -- able. As you noted that we debt that machine with his role and pattern off of that coming right out of issue with Brady you know. At least conceivably haven't shake off a little bit rusty is human."

Play from 34:08[34:08]" But it incredibly exciting the beginning of every season end this actually you can -- I think I I admire most about -- is that boyish -- start off every from people like Eric and I who actually read books. Every year is you know opening up tick as a shock that it was opening up a new book and you want to see how it's gonna start and then go along. You want -- obviously how it's gonna end but you know and a half later -- and it -- it's like opening the cover of a new book every year. You have no idea really how what's going to turn out. You know I don't. I don't have any I think I Q but I wouldn't be surprised if you know anything. Bowl on -- won't be surprised if they're seven and nine football right right I I think I'll be I'll be disappointed but. We see signs of that we'll points and now I don't think -- I don't have a nine I know you -- Fred but you're going to be done right -- be very easy if they have a bad season several back to go -- hey -- I -- again. I -- thinks that those signs are actually now we don't but generally anything and a half though those people who say they know will use the 20/20 hindsight right in and go they want this happen in this happen this happen. You know all anything can happen that's my point -- yeah but oh well you can point to a number of reasons why they would struggle but the that the probability of all seven of those -- current nicely timed it through early signing a couple of though -- like -- by 21 points like they can happen -- anything less than twelve wins WB yeah. I think eleven while I would be given the old longest will -- Well that to give me but I I -- of difficulty of the schedule which is not very I think you have to -- around around 1010910. Meetings yet. I want to take a -- come back you brought up a good point because it's sort of an ongoing. Utah and Indiana and could you pointed to run right well it's it's it it's that debate that been going on. ID EI about. You know is it Brady or -- the Patriots you know some people think it's that in all -- Brady was got hurt in -- one they'd be lucky to finish eight knee. Some people look at data and in all the ballots in the rest of the team.

Talking about it. Either replayed or he doesn't I don't want to hear from Brady's father. I don't want it from John then it's football about -- week one and does complete week three as the stretch. I hope that's why I play greatly -- you rower are the book before I was only notice a definitive. You know what injury I don't want to hear -- I don't think I I correct me if I'm wrong about that you and it you don't think it's relevant now I but we. We don't know I don't know and not going to tell why are we going to spend much because I know he's gonna -- or not -- I was right -- he's going to play.

But find out as much as they -- about the injury Hewitt and not getting any it's not getting. -- don't need. Six paragraphs not it's. Silly -- it really. Trying to do their job and and the minute you get nothing that you. Number you're stressed and how many. Stressed out. You had area stop talking to the media. Would be a good pitcher that has been sent from -- of the first time now we -- in the years that you should. They got out of like -- you know but it's counterproductive it really. Okay now -- Yeah Allen before the break. That's currently at all -- strife going on -- a lot of power and light that's the right why he's been out all -- I have no idea back. But it I don't like that we don't why it has been written right no I almost and I thought it was ultimately I -- from I call from on the taking his office. -- anyway we talk before the break. Brady if he goes down on people be lucky the pitches went eight day. People think that's a knock on the rest of the team that you know. But the fans they'll coaching it's all -- the -- what -- That indicate how important sport. -- team. But teams of one with Trent dilfer's fills him in. You know it does anyone seen. What I I I think -- and a bit overrated but the put him attractive -- category. Bobby of that cost them. Jeff -- of the mental well it's a popular 13 games he would play. They don't win that who'll have cost him quarterback you know if he had a ghost. Craig Morton came in in in -- a team the Super Bowl. Of -- a lot of examples of back coming in and doing well back to a Broncos I I was arrived this -- the death penalty and the separation between. But he knows that I'd had an accident. You have to pretty average equipment new team that dropped. It. It is it is going to be a point in -- him -- point is if the pitchers at this one with a quarter yet yet you you would have -- go war and that if he's out. Probably could yeah. The not a -- our team is as good now I'm not an expert on it out of -- and the Colts aren't as good without -- I didn't lose a great player that's one of the greatest of all -- his job at a position on the -- in -- team is structured in -- manner in which they rely heavily on the quarterback in this community not to let -- animosity let's -- that back then I have to be back as everybody -- that aren't -- bill -- didn't play or Larry -- and play or Kevin Garnett in. Every sport there are superstars and a great player Lamar has all those teams that exceed when their quarterback without just didn't structure of the team all around the quarterback like Baltimore the one that everybody -- for the example wouldn't you agree to that team was not relying anyway on what about the right. -- even going in thinking they were relying on quarterback might as well you know Tampa bay they one with the -- and."

Play from 48:16[48:16]" In May yet if if Belichick knew that Brady was going to be out he could appear in and took their reworked things on the fly in and -- things. It would be surprised I don't know now if like if the Ravens with a box for example lost. You know Ray Lewis or Derrick Brooks or when there are guys on the fans. Back to change the whole scenario -- it that season for them too because now the play that there relying most on that's a good point is now. And that affects the rest of the team because they weren't relying on the rest of the team about what those guys were in some cases that might be true I think that the fans you know you lose one guy he covered a couple of different that we what you're saying that you icing the puck all around -- that's what they're built on and Ray Lewis in his prime. 2000 -- focal point of that team is Ray Lewis took him out of the equation at the the idea that I would along with Trent dilfer's quarterback but right to some degree I do believe that this team Italy or eighteen points in the deep it's not good enough that -- that -- That the suspect lessons might take I also think Brady is responsible and I'm single and responsible that. Not when not I'm not going that far but how many times two games hang in the balance and he comes through I mean we've seen it time in Miami gets the point where. It does it surprise anybody anymore -- Iraq out of superlatives the margin between go to the plate and I after the break a margin between good and bad teams in this league is not. Very big. So you have to rely and certain players who are considered either of the best at their position with Baker's short or -- you -- you lose a guy like Brady -- Manning who's considered one of the best of all time let alone at best at their position now. That's going to have an effect on the rescue team. You just -- the point about you almost come to expect. It was the point in purple that's what I was thinking about thirty -- second runner on what fifteen yard line ten or -- or does it again everybody was expecting him to get -- And then there some reason it -- four bombs and try to act on them."

Play from 50:16[50:16]" Are right. It's almost one let me get to us and emails really quickly. Before we get into the -- after the 1 o'clock -- Natalie in Pennsylvania writes it.

We do do we have to listen to two hours of this even when you guys. Go off topic at least they're interesting I'd be satisfied with a compromise at three week but it was just not cutting it.

I'll let me out Robin and Alaska rights and have been watching Patriots today which features clips of bravery and it is our press conferences both my wife and I. Thought that Brady looked a lot slimmer this year -- looked more more gone. Than usual Brady shoulder is also looked very fit and -- or whatever at all Brady's that are looked act. -- look actually reminded me of Matthew Perry initial weight loss. When he became addicted the pavement but that's typical -- Matthew Perry looked beat curricula in I think Brady doesn't look a little speculation. I don't really. Okay I've bracelet. Is -- just weight loss from an activity injury or flu. Is Brady pre season that is just turning the it will worry wart could be an -- in fact any significant weight loss why does -- like it takes for ever. For the season start. Robin in Alaska we'll look at it. He came into the league as they -- Undersized for a worked quote as hard as anyone's ever worked based on the about it you know and this week this offseason chose not to work. It would make sense that you lost weight loss of muscle. I mean I know you're the big conspiracy theory but no conspiracy here. I'm just making the fact that he thought he knew a little bit more ability would get a little too -- little bit more mobility. Nobody gets hurt you Everett Toney out India right we're talking about like to lose anymore -- pounds of muscle here either direction as long as -- arms that aren't here.

And it's the Washington Redskins began the New York Giants expect him to implement it now and honestly I was that it matters and so hard and play that kicks off tonight at 7 o'clock on the NFL network NBC I thought I thought it was okay NBC. And they started it earlier 7 o'clock it was an eclectic kick in the moved it up for the Republican -- influence in my man McCain original goal overtime but he should be all set to watch into the game clicked over watch Mateen speech like.

Play from 1:02:47[1:02:47]" The Giants are favored by four. In New York so they can handle that pregame festivities -- yeah.

I will go with the New York football Giants know they had this year injuries this week. Pre season -- there was some of the guys on the offensive line. But I think that the better football team I'm not old -- only -- is not sold on Jason Campbell. You know he usually throws his first touchdown pass this season and it's weak and so should have a while he throws for a touchdown pass. Com. I'm not sold on the Redskins like -- is put him in the Super Bowls -- and OJ and Taylor should make them better but not. Okay you go which lines yes both ways it might correct. The out of -- giant --"

Play from 1:04:07[1:04:07]" I really relate to but I can't lie to myself tonight not really sold on the Redskins either. It's gonna be awhile. I I still think at home all the energy coming off the superbowl home opener all that crap that's not -- and and the Giants start to use up -- we do so. They'll put out fighters have been tonight. I'm not sold on the Redskins either however. This -- but it despite pick on my part phenomenal the Redskins both ways."

Play from 1:04:35[1:04:35]" I'm going to take the Giants -- not because I think the Giants or anything. You know real special but I just think that -- like candy and Michael said. -- did get a big boost on this game I think that the via the result I don't know how long they've dial the Patriots beat the Colts in this game since. Pittsburgh coming up detonate they beat Miami. Indeed beaten all ends -- expected generally the team that. But it -- game at home and at Thursday night has had pretty good success in a minute to expect that to continue with the Giants here. I that the blow a mile but anecdote come away with a win yeah it's only been the Patriots. And the Patriots won the first of the back to back ones that they started doing that and the Patriots won both their openers. Rams Pittsburgh aren't Raiders that -- or the other way around Pittsburgh Raiders while Pittsburgh was back in June so Monday night you know open up the new stadium. Our 2002 then but they did when their first -- Thursday openers are -- I know they beat Oakland -- I can remember it was the Indy -- also Thursday night you know and manager and a -- was out of Thursday night game. What I did it once but maybe it was pretty positive I think of one -- anyway I'm going to."

Play from 1:05:44[1:05:44]" Expect that trend to continue well I can't think that the Redskins are going to be the surprise team of the season and have them lose to there. NFC east rivals on opening night don't have the Redskins both ways in the what happens when RI say week six or seven where you cut ties with your rent it. -- just -- far into. Don't report -- Interesting game to not off -- 1 o'clock Sunday late AFC north. Divisional -- Cincinnati at Baltimore with Joe Flacco is going to get the start I thought I was running you don't have to spread you said he didn't have the numbers dominant I have to games that you don't have to spread and you told -- there was an NFL network. All of a first they wanted to read an email okay Christopher -- yeah okay we should. Who at -- watch -- is scheduled for about 150 came right on time I set to hear that you won't broadcast five days a week. But it will be nice to avoid temptation everyday at noon is at work from home. I looked up Hodges -- Yahoo!. Drafted by the Seahawks in the sixth round O five still eligible for the practice squad though. I'm not sure exactly how one question to the pats try to run more -- that he would they go with their typical passing game they're pretty good for the past fifth. Terrible -- the run twentieth could could it be time for Maroney even LaMont Jordan to put up some numbers. Also Gary you might want to keep in mind that at 1229. While taking talking about the trade it -- I need to get him odds that for ten minutes. The possibilities abound. So related --"

Play from 1:07:19[1:07:19]" I think they'll come out and the road try to score in a couple of touchdown lead then run the ball a little bit more. I think they're going to run more throughout the year provided that Maroney and Morris and LaMont -- they'll -- in the line doesn't have the trouble but it had. During the pre season. I write it that's Chris from the Bronx they Q but once Chris we do appreciate. -- does. I get light hit it I really do I you to make you cranky because Garland and you know like this was excellent thank you very much. Of all want to Cincinnati at Baltimore. That like it. The -- seed. Angles actually wrote it by a point at Joe Flacco making his NFL debut. Injuries. Carson Palmer has they know yet exactly Pro Bowl participation. Okay that's -- Rangers Alexy for their ankles and mean and and did not practice with an illness. That they'll listen Chad Johnson. Ochoa include Johnson -- It's actually Chad Ochoa income. Who is -- his name. That. A little caller Chad anymore. -- it is oh or two ago I thought he changed it he did and I know I think they'll drop the last name. Pilot with but he had a full practice with a shoulder injury in Caldwell wide receiver in name injured. Is limited the toe injury. And talent. Willis McGahee era for the Ravens is limited within me. Heat. The tight end is again limited with a knee. The Smith the quarterback did he can play anyway. Nobody nobody that this is the most entertaining part of the tight end. I'm assuming he's never heard of body I have but. You know -- You can't there's always are saying no you know I'd -- that -- When you didn't like Todd you that he that tight end. You Todd -- The horrible tight end. Anyway I will I think it's a tough game to it because I think both the teams. Have talented play makers sprinkled throughout the roster but I don't think either team and by any means a good team so basically. I'm going to pick against the cinder block to vote lead footed rookie quarterback strong arm and nothing I'll I'll take the -- Again that's. A big part in the -- well Baltimore's awful. He's about average right people. All awful. Ago with and give the rookie his first win in the person of note and not by much accurate to Baltimore. And said I'm going to give it to him --"

And I'm going to take the -- but I agree with Indy and Eric that and it's too awful teams potentially awful -- Baltimore is awful lot of things in that it will be awful and about three weeks especially with mark is trying to lose his job again he wants he wants out of there I don't blame on. That team needs to find a new direction. They do have some talent but it while mismatched in my opinion I think the Ravens when the game they do with the low scoring game and they pull out. It read or call he had something on you never mentioned him is the safety the safety -- that he. And on the NFL that come. He didn't. The majority of these yet why. These I don't know if you heard bill Celtic talk about it he's pretty right. I didn't want to you want to go on Fred do you want media outlets that an effective pitchers what's the next what you want to cut it one of us actually like. We do have one of -- interest who. It's a Patriot. Nation the jet Herat. Miami open season huge breath fire. Add any offense yet captain of the Miami Dolphins ball players we'll meet at mid is -- the ever important -- and interest in this one I would bank. Dolphins are getting three at home."

Play from 1:11:29[1:11:29]" Dolphins need a lot of history yet win and cover on the road. Mike Greenberg and must win is Jets on opening day because they played the Patriots and and a Chargers in consecutive weeks thereafter and if they have any migraines regularly -- baseball coach we have to win the once sort of Take Two games OI wanted to be one and two after three games of chance the post season. I agree with them you know start -- three and it was the Dolphins -- I -- And I'll take the strong armed quarterback over the -- quarterback."

Play from 1:12:02[1:12:02]" Yeah Dolphins I don't care there homer not that -- should eliminate like on this night it's eliminated. So many you like. Oh. I would tend to agree anyway I'll take Britain Jets aren't easily recover and they win people like this -- I I'm going to go apartment yet to. Miami is awful. Going to be awful soon anybody else think it's bad part was that. -- that that you guys because. He's going to be there. A year maybe Q. He has a reputation of not doing all the things in the off that's the -- how the captains of the chosen by the players and the problem. Mr. players think he's actually they probably do with the and we we don't because and energy it is everything Belichick that's true. I guess they voted for music that then I think -- vote for because secret for -- always has a lot about that team. If there -- excellent -- idea captain Zdeno wasn't going to be around for a year to witness who. But -- had geez I was up an excellent defense and he was going to be out but my point they have as a renter will probably be prix of like the hardest working guy in here to me telling me when -- elected him captain expected him to be back in away."

Play from 1:13:22[1:13:22]" It was a possibility I don't think that they are expected to win the Super Bowl it I don't and -- I don't think when -- and after looking right on -- exactly every year's different what does matter is that going to be exactly Agnew but for an. -- type -- well I think if -- the -- while I don't think he's -- Japanese holidays have -- that every -- can be dominant but I don't think -- project any tiger cats -- like the -- Catholic my little. -- the -- back -- or -- not a -- that you you've -- but -- I think -- coach. Put -- giving -- in -- positive defensive with a 77 -- There a better example dale was not elected captain his first year. Nobody else we remain and how much later than -- 51. I don't. Inked a five should be captain now I'm not arguing that nobody -- think he's -- you're your take me without my -- I have no problem that I don't have been isn't captain yes I. You know been really probably only around for a short -- I have probably in his -- like escalated it to new guys and automatically be automatically -- say okay and here he worked for a year he got injured in that November -- hi Ryan came and first year here he -- mean it -- it and tactics I think those guys at night I I -- I'll probably individual credit -- I don't think he's caption. I agree and his reputation I agree -- based on his reputation my feelings -- really were agree on each other and that might be one of those where we're we're talking about how to too much his father has kind of clouded on he doesn't do the things in the offseason doesn't watch the film doesn't work hard to -- self. That's and he's not a captain -- let's. Brady. And I mean if you want to say that you know in northern new Brady. -- goal. But I was wondering. -- he'll. Probably won't find out until they take the field. No we usually find that out like we historian for the -- last year announced during the week or -- you are correct. -- has. In the past occasionally mean they make an announcement a big deal and obviously the catamounts put their money gas tomorrow though braves' Julio -- doesn't -- tomorrow David West tomorrow night exit of the day that that happened yeah. -- it to the other night it's one of breeze after the -- spot. I mean I think humans. What year ago that I'd have when it it and you ordinarily is again on every time we get the -- every -- that they were incredibly privileged very that would every have you no one else on now I'm on one victory does for you at the -- yet there is only about. Ones that lead 16 beat. In the -- the -- or they were there at nine. All right while I've taken it yet to but I -- with Mike Greenberg I think if your team. Specially in an improving team and you're expecting to be part of the playoff run you'd have to win games like they have to. And in the number three yeah and then take the Jets right -- cult. Oh. Mark tape. -- bother going to the reporter at the big fall. Off our topic is any doubt about that but that's still on last week you were telling me that could be one of their law. It could be but I'm -- I look at it positively going. And I just you make me what I -- told that can happen this year I have no idea. And I had an era of progress and I think that's the kind of analysis you only get here I've I've got surprised. You know just how low to moderate manned by an open -- that game yeah. You didn't and won a lot of people calling ESPN the magazine on the team frame the used intact and find. Traveled to in behind. Favorite club there."

Play from 1:17:16[1:17:16]" call below Steelers by six and a half the Steelers will win double digits easy. You'll put up points hopefully Mendenhall play and hold onto the ball Mendenhall is an articulate. Yeah Eugene will evidently he's betting on Eugene Wilson landed in Nam and -- I'll okay -- will not return -- his. Quote unquote groin injury in the superbowl once -- that you are beginning of the end of the beginning -- physical dubious. Oh ability Ian wood is an easy game out here in the team did you read any of that stuff that -- she give a magazine I should say I got put together a pretty good preview you guys and I now. Well I don't necessarily agree with this pick but they but they did was they used a law."

Play from 1:18:02[1:18:02]" Out of lot of data a lot of like kind of baseball bill James kind of stuff but I don't really like nerd alert but -- yes they used a lot of guys try to come up with. A formula to predict who dat team that's going to come out of nowhere because in -- big guy you -- put together at you know they've they've had. You know 45 different teams over the last 45 years they keep predicting it may never again they haven't gotten that team yet but meanwhile. I don't know plenty of examples of others that have gone from -- twelfth 124 they can't find they've. I'd go what numbers and it went with the Houston Texans on a related no I don't argument with the centered ones who try to limit that Bobby Abreu was a better player than O'Neal Hamels threw about. Yes -- brown know. But I digress guests -- Eric your."

Play from 1:18:48[1:18:48]" Well I was picked as you know Paul at least one upset special of the week this does it fuel then you -- out -- riverboat gambler Eric. You didn't outright -- Houston out -- wow that would we all appreciate the one game lead -- if that happens Houston beat. I'll give you are not right in -- I'll give him or not you cut ties with the dealers off and I'm absolutely pathetic juvenile perhaps now. Now I think I don't think the Phillies are all that good. They obviously. Now and we know credit depends on Mendenhall place I think their final as a great news on -- I'm I'm on -- doesn't play well I thought it my Mendenhall right violate the Mendenhall is ridiculous. Side argument here reading Peter keying heavily it was pre season predictions in his top two or three per -- the players here Lamar -- Pittsburgh. That if they get another break -- guy like that at linebacker. They're deep and will be better the offense is. -- suitable."

Play from 1:19:47[1:19:47]" And by the way -- you know you -- if they really wanted to do nothing worthwhile. To track all the predict that everyone me. And every time but he makes a prediction to -- in theory. That we can get a little. You know quantified. Information and yeah or use him in -- 2000 -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers and -- everyday players put their power to work for that I agree just want to say quickly for the twelve and two or argument if the Houston Texans got twelve and four. I would -- We had a lot of this argument yesterday twelve what's a good Alou -- twelve and four is a good records -- the season not awesome. I mean it's going to be four games worse than last year the Patriots -- old. It's got I don't know and I just think Tavarez and for every good -- for a year it's any good it doesn't guarantee you the the dog -- I was brought here you're you're -- the east at twelve to four. I think anything about twelve and four -- and it went fourteen into -- number one's. I mean I don't really guarantees any rental club Portland or is it off he's well and -- not eat I think it's in season. I think it's good playoffs. Okay. What a great arm and I'll have a good playoff season -- is it is Eckstein you know and he didn't want one and -- are you a very good season is fourteen to -- got hot. -- very good. There might foresee go by history -- like. Do you yesterday talking about fourteen great every year there's at least three teams that are twelve and -- tell every year and how many teams are generally sort -- what Gil de -- agreed to usually five or six teams that are twelve or better because there are those awesome team I have -- I expect to hear him. Okay. I don't think there's that many able diabetic butler. There Akron area that we actually -- up -- but I -- with every year and evidence well -- for our I don't know I don't know why haven't or or better -- said okay twelve or better driver six including that twelve -- I cannot recording everything lowest three and then. All the other years it was -- 455. Or by."

Play from 1:21:55[1:21:55]" except in the eighties by an eighty's yeah standards were different ball okay. About you just talk my current -- about like the last fifteen years as changing his argument. Exactly well I'm on the eyes are out of -- I. I telecast throughout the NFL well -- about history but I am golf history right in 1930 X -- would -- twelve -- a great record. You know we we have thought you know he uses a rumbling I don't want to get it will be it to -- but we have talked about you know by -- the NFL talk about it. Salary cap and parity. They likely we have the eight teams every year. You know with the exception of one or two I couldn't do it in my agree that buying for the play -- salary cap makes it very easy to be able to Manhattan manufactured here roster I think though. So it it's not exactly into -- all the decision makers. While that's what -- early and -- ballot checked out and Kevin Colbert my I think that's where you can separate yourself from the other teams is. Coaching in front office opened the same argument I think he'll pull him Bill Belichick and Kevin Colbert would succeed in 88 or seven -- you're right or smart people like I think I think -- taken to. I am taking a spurt to win but not cover."

Play from 1:23:05[1:23:05]" Six and a half it. I'm Steelers are no I don't I'm not in -- what -- because I don't -- offensive line -- defense in the struggle. Oh I they have. And the -- and great great and it immigrate quarterback Antonio Holmes on board with the coach could be the albatross a ticket Antonio Holmes could be looking at a breakout type season Hines Ward obviously -- Is terrific and it damn good situation back -- and have a good offense I think -- line might hurt them. And I worry about it the what about -- before -- next game while Jack built at Tennessee and another really good early season matchup AFC I'll. Playoff contenders the Titans are at home getting three. Getting demolished too much respect -- yet too much respect for the jags I'm still looking for. Young David -- proved me that he is indeed -- pastor did not have an operational season. Richard. And I need to say this I'm taking this based on my love of the Tennessee Titans -- in the playoffs and you know -- schedule and again at like 71 and they win this game at parties schedule after this. On the they get it done at home. And went out. All right and he Jackson -- used to. And and Eric Young go with Jacksonville where. Now when make it three in -- like Jacksonville era on the road as well that it not -- game early in the you're just not so just not sold on tennis I take it ten feet away and I do it with defense I thought they do have a terrific that in spread you make a good point. -- make my reads and Eric and spread it on opposite them get a pretty good chance. He shouldn't do that going to because -- I'd be you handle it was going from the United it'll from a bunch of interesting matchups who -- died here. -- Detroit is at Atlanta. Albeit just how Matt Ryan Matty -- and you know. Falcons are at home getting three more than a few road arena home dogs this week. I will take the Lions to come out early. Offensively they seem to albeit low with the fact that Mike Martz is no longer with them they virtually all -- in. -- they've gotten rid of Tatum O'Neal I believe was the did you -- ceremonial race Tatum Bell and probably thirty Johnson's bags well it was in for a visit tumble. And a mistake Calvin Johnson has you know continue his development he's a great player but highly package everything that's on the pre season with him making catches. I think they get it done I don't know how good they are but they don't have to -- elected to the Atlanta Falcons Matty Heisman is not the they're pretty good for a team. That lives evil and Andy balls lightly announcer athlete it in the game it struggled being -- game and also. I will go to Detroit but utley or not sold on the running back by the way to there. I think he's. Michael Turner and I love like respect back of Michael love it. This is the start of their run for the Lions to win the NFC north okay so they're going to win outright. Today and a spoil Matt -- debut all right. -- I have a hard time disputing anything my three esteemed colleagues to at about the lines are first half teams -- into the game that. They get fat at but I am and I'm reason I'm going to take Atlanta at home in the opener. Pull an upset at not only major by -- I think they find a way to get down in the home opener -- the puck went to many more however. They were last ticket price and make sure they had in there and didn't get blacked out everything that's a good idea. I agree I'm going to go with the Lions in the one. I -- holding a lawn. Back into the the Patriot division Seattle is going to travel across country to -- the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Bills a team that -- bearing -- one. Bills by one in Portland Oregon's. Seattle. Team for me always get a read on their certainly one of those teams that better in the NF even in the if the I take him to win. On the road not sold on the Buffalo Bills I at this early in my bite me in the back early Marshawn Lynch I'm not sure he's ready to be the workhorse and do enough so that they can be one of those. From the ball played deep and an Edwards only has to make three key completions every game I don't think there -- at three. Oh Seattle once you had bill's favorite is -- bills affair by one while. At the game. It's a long road trip to Seattle they could probably as much we -- guys anything he had but I -- that I -- on -- weapons on both sides of the ball all while flow of the -- that are actually Seattle. Of those -- like we start talking actually you know what I think -- game I don't I think Buffalo is a better team and Walesa's. Or everyone thinks they -- think they're going to be a better team -- the Jets but not good enough to beat Seattle group in my act you know more now uncles yeah okay. Well I just think Buffalo is awful and they may when this game home opener now is to play well in that game. Up in Buffalo but. I had in Seattle that much better I think they find a way to get -- tough road win."

Play from 1:28:25[1:28:25]" I don't like Buffalo Buffalo wins this game. Oh Buffalo -- Patriots -- win in all the idiots say has the rest of the AFC caught up with the Patriots not be what that. It's a lot of -- one -- wanted to you know what I didn't play god -- what's the knuckle -- But Buffalo with the okay next -- Boston knucklehead factor into a -- Tampa -- nor -- these are expecting to -- to play no problems with all the weather."

Play from 1:28:54[1:28:54]" They've had -- by three ain't by the read our this thing going to be good. And -- question I do not think the Bucs are going to be good team I didn't think they're going to be good team last year's surprise me to make the playoffs. I am going to say Jeff Garcia think. And the St. surprisingly make some plays on the fence and win this one week. I think the Saints -- team this year I think that -- is going to be improved of these -- that we talk about. But the birth date with the Jets and Dolphins -- you would have to win. If you're. New Orleans and are serious -- I think. I have the same making the NFC championship game this year I don't think that the Buccaneers are as good as the play -- team that they. Masquerade of himself as last year so I'm going to go with New Orleans bigamist ballot the Saints who like that for the reasons that might that I think they're going to be back. He had that Goodyear and you take that back and I think they're pretty good teams or that they can. They can rebound from that have that natural progression and I think if you're expecting that. You have to win games like home opener against a division rival."

Play from 1:30:00[1:30:00]" Well I think the -- when the game two they definitely. Their defense they actually upgraded it was -- they got him. They got Shockey to but I don't think -- too much right away. But as far as the Buccaneers though shop you deal work or as far as the Buccaneers I think Jeff guy he is is always been a poor man's Brett Favre -- at what point that was a good thing but now it's a bad. So I think that Saints win this game."

Play from 1:30:28[1:30:28]" I it we're going to move along to a little. The Rams are going to go to Philadelphia with eagles' favor by seven and a half game seven and a half that's kind of like them. And reading things about Stephen Jackson and limited role after. Limited pre season things to his contract holdout com I'm going to take the Eagles to win but I will take the point. The Rams I I told his law -- they fell off the map and Saturday you know the Rams are. On this and nobody coach they've had injuries they've had all these issues. But I think they hang close early in the year he with the Eagles even I think the Eagles are clearly the better mechanics aren't true to what you just that it Jackson getting a limited role and you thought that that was a big number for Philly wouldn't be. A small number he's going to have a limited role. 21 player Jack -- limited but he still thought the I don't detail how good to Billy's going to be. Well I would as I don't get I think don't -- Philly I know in the early as late as she would pick this year for some reason a lot of people line Philly. I like the Eagles offense and I'm not as high on them as everybody else is but I don't like it was much and also will take the points and will take the heels. Of a global. -- him. No mark not at not the first time -- an anticipated and I -- the thing that's there."

Play from 1:31:54[1:31:54]" I like the Eagles in this game I think they'll win by seven -- ten points on an -- Campbell points. I'm going to take Eagles to win in -- I am falling into that the Eagles -- and as he -- I'm falling into that trap like. When our -- young guys during the pre season for whatever that was worth tunnels will find out. But I do like the Rams to come on like that extra half point seven and a half and it and is -- going to. By media without half point I think the Rams from the wc I took the Rams with which he did I'm. I'm I'm taking the the Eagles to win the game but. -- the -- Right it should be an existing game Dallas. Goes to Cleveland. Two teams that have post season aspirations. To -- you might say global aspirations I will. They are road favorite by five and a half they the Dallas Cowboys to win and win big. I think the Browns are going to have a very disappointing year and they're in and happy very point here and I think early in the season the Cowboys are going to be. Hot rolling big point price who plays on the fence. My one question is that whatever point they reach a little adversity how to react to that but I think there and it just have their way with the brown. I dispute this being -- game in Cleveland and the most overrated -- in the last couple years. I think people put them on the doorstep of Super Bowl. Game and you I don't know whatever it is -- and -- but it is like the Eagles in this chic pick the last couple years in baseball what. -- one though. Dallas is a superior team on both sides applaud him when. I agree Els is going to win nine I'd like the brown to win their division this year though but -- topic going to be enough for the Cowboys on and we've won take bells will way. Now let's say Cleveland and not because I think they're going to be chic pick for superbowl or anything like that I just think that they they are pretty good team. At this time last year they were -- mean no one thought they were going to win 13 of four games it was when his Romeo when he gets fired. They -- won ten games I think hats off to them for doing that. And I think they continued that development I had this many times I think DA AFC north teams. They're going to have a really really hard time with schedules they're going to have play in the NFC north and he. North on -- NFC east in the AFC south I think that's about toppers if you get out of the division that was a tough games. I think nine and Evans gonna win that division in Cleveland's going to and a nine about it they get an upset here Cleveland."

Play from 1:34:27[1:34:27]" Well I'll certainly be rooting for the Browns when the game but I think the Cowboys when it in cover. You know a lot of talent at the right places the Cowboys do. And I think you know for the Browns think they're going to maybe catch momentum but it won't be. You know that's tough draw the first game of the season and they also have like five primetime games Cleveland I don't know if they're ready to handle that. -- we aren't we're on the Patriot last year and they've been through more than that more of that than anybody so. I agree with that skepticism of the Browns I just think that you get off to a good start here and maybe touchdown NAFTA. Anyway Carolina is that San Diego. Where the charges are big favorite nine points. Nine point nine times -- Steve Smith. That -- I will take the Chargers to win and cover. Again picking up an early season momentum that may not be indicative of exactly how good they -- much rule favored. They really should be and will be in the water on the Shawne Merriman went to his career and when he gets injured but it's early in the year LaDainian Townsend comes out nice and fresh and you know. Is -- several months off and it's going to be warm he's been off since the final game last season. And it will be nice and warmest spread you'll be ready to go and everything's Rolen and Diego until the Patriots come to town and actually get a battle find out who they are. There'll -- in the."

Play from 1:35:49[1:35:49]" LT is on a Carl Pavano like schedule where he displays he won again last 949. In four innings real real on -- but you know San Diego's -- my Super -- So I'm going to go with them obviously in this game I think to a -- home coming back and this being his first game is -- little bit of rust factor there as well I don't expect much ball movement from Carolina politics -- go to cover and -- is that. -- Ball movement I don't like hands on I don't like Carolina. There they're there are always overrated in my book and I and he's well not anymore I think people now really gotten off their historically that it there's there and over relievers John got to see that -- Warriors yet. And enough on some going to go to San Diego to win and cover. Alexander -- to win this game rather easily but I am a little reluctant to give the nine and we won I think Carolina maybe it would the last score. Backdoor cover all take San -- to -- Carolina become. I'll take San Diego outright this game. You know I -- they win the AFC west by default pretty bad itself. Our Netscape all Arizona at San Francisco where the nine Missouri home dog getting -- and a I'll take the Cardinals to win on the road the better team. Early in the year Kurt Warner QB her though he will be healthy and probably throwing for 300 yards because that's what he does when he generally held the in is getting he'll act the ground and has some good receivers and I think the Cardinals are. Every year I think they're going to take that -- depth and maybe this is the year but even if they don't does the game they should win even again. You know even if their mediocre team should be what. Is it is my cheek here so I will take the Cardinals outrage. And covering parties want me here. -- yeah error I was just missed there has never have him on the practice squad here last year or had Wellemeyer in the league it was -- I am like the niners I like I like Arizona to a to win and to win by at least. A touchdown."

Play from 1:37:59[1:37:59]" It will the I was happy to -- Arizona answer by Lee. Attached. -- Cardinals two and a half or so might. The Cardinals US chic pick in your making fun of everybody else having a chic pick every year. Was the last time the Cardinals when everybody chic pick a point on it and I'm going on a limited -- she's not writing them anyway with Cleveland everybody has Arizona every year. Every Arizona right. Ordered extra -- The Lions and Cardinals this is a year I disagree strongly. -- listened to weird people and I heard out of crowds in the Super Bowl that this time last year was when his -- five know what dot Cleveland was going to be anything Gephardt -- an -- from your -- cardinal now. Cardinals have that this room. His game because both teams have shown signs that. You know. They might get in improving team. I think the efforts sisco might be looking ahead a little bit go to of the week after. With the real in the you know so I think I think Arizona -- game they come moment plated Dolphins the week after. To now. -- terrorism. I'd -- on Sunday night game and she. Chicago at in the Cincinnati -- Chicago at an Indianapolis. It from -- Colts appear by now. All cable rates are Manning all that's ago Kyle Orton returning to the days in which he had so much. Purdue. Tons and that success will only benefit the Indiana Colts as we -- know Kyle -- struggles to throw the ball more than. Four inches in front of his body and medical Wednesday. We're at a point in the game nine and a half of the matter who okay. It's. IRA does what happened Thursday report for Saturday. And there's reports -- Saturday there. I mean. He's out for at least six weeks he's out the game basically. This week is part six week he's out. So he's lucky he's probably going to be off -- that has already been you know the -- that in the middle of that line. And -- won last year and they. Start to think as long as -- lines -- they win is on the radio lines at the Patriots -- each other nick and I agree with that by I would worry a little while the Colts. He he -- players and how fast -- how terrible they can be Freeney Sanders. But they need those are back maybe I -- but at what level much like we wonder hope with Brady we know Brady is going to play but at what level they worked -- first regular season game in the look Royals stadium. Oil Luke whatever it is Matthew my oil that we can look -- restore. Matthew Mark caller the -- John. -- it. -- in the field as well act got to go to called the Bears a lot of people predicting the Colts could have a big fall by a lot I mean Tom current NBC's Woodstock I. Yeah -- you know as a clown like on -- while I'll take it in that might not be fair but I think he falls into the reactionary. What the Patriots fans want to hear category. When he does those like really outlandish things like he's always -- pulling him. Yet to Monday night games is Gary alluded to the music."

Play from 1:41:34[1:41:34]" Minnesota at Green -- This could have been a great game -- Green Bay and allowed Favre to go to like. Packers might do and half. Packers favored interest in them and it was the red bullet and I'll take the Green Bay Packers to win this one as Aaron Rodgers gets off to a great arc on his career as the starting quarterback in green day I think he. The Rose the ball all over that over rated Minnesota Vikings the -- he avoids the pass rush of that. Over rated Jared Allen and the Packers winning -- to an early lead in the -- Speaking of overrated -- high schools struggle while to it was my turn to pick. Mr. that the better team.

I don't know if you know it's so bad that you have Eric -- an 8 they are the only guys aspect of that you don't -- anybody. Well it's Israel currently -- come on anybody story but we'll see the scoreboard and threw him out of the agreement is going to another team to begin with but they're going to be better than -- chic pick of the year. Minnesota. Now that's a true she got to see it as such it chic pick. Arizona Ireland it is more Scioscia picked that Torre picked them. Right -- smart football mind -- unique though."

I think they're pretty good team at the Packers at least we'll be. He went out at 5889. Haven't somewhere around there. But I am buying into the Vikings I think it a weekend as he and I think anything can happen like that the defense they've done. Putting Allen with with the Williams is on the defensive line. I'm going to go with the Vikings get it done on the road in Lambeau. I gotta go with the Packers. Two win this game. -- further proved to -- that you know we can do that I would love nothing would have been to have that happen.

Unless it as -- can be become more of a debacle day by day as all these joke moves happened at the big paid Weaver who want to retire but they talk to me the things they could keep paying him eleven million. He's thirty might not play they absolutely cast -- Chad Jackson sure will be uniforms and game. That the Broncos will not be good but they'll be that hell. The Oakland Raiders as Mike Shanahan is one. -- ethnic Oakland. No other reason -- and would be here to Denver it."

Play from 1:44:49[1:44:49]" I think -- really two really really bad teams at -- with you but I'm going to take the Broncos to win because it's typical and any game. I think. I think Broncos could be the surprise team out of the west you can do it right with Jay Cutler I think you know getting his health -- it was a big deal. And I think he could be the difference here that's not a -- by the way and not much the Broncos but Jay Cutler Cutler like exploding because he has helped in order now. I don't know how much truth there is to -- beyond only a point you know it's only you know how much that affected them last she. Likes it's not a -- idea. I as it always want to -- the Broncos we've got to go back then the guys as a Patriot game. Now I can't wait. Sixteen and a half Kansas City opening day here at Gillette Stadium -- we know what the home win record is at this point yes they've never lost a home game at 2 home opener Angeles I know is there another streak. Beyond that now home me how many home on a general idea -- a -- a couple of games and six so probably like and and and what other frequently go four here two -- regular season yet industry what does that. It would have -- 119 in her right correct Eckstein and threes they -- they hold the record everytime they win and that's that's wrecking their own record. But couldn't the hurricane and a place them. -- this game while I heard Saturday night we get some heavy rain and -- on days I could I'm not that one. The other one -- in. If it does you have any problems with that I open market. Okay Indy they would favor that -- inherited for a all those stupid things favor the underdog in the worst team especially when you have a team that's going to be content to run the ball on an -- once once -- all -- the -- in general whenever you add on. Factors that could be -- changes always benefit the team that is expected to win -- and how much a portrait of change that go with us with rain they'll -- in. Precipitation. You know because I don't have the -- right it won't be sloppy and and as we've noticed even like when or better or -- to do you -- that way yeah so I don't think it's that big deal and I think the gap both talent to great. On I think the Patriots -- about it think Tom Brady comes out. And they win the opening coin toss and they take the ball and they drive down the field to lead seven nothing in the start streak of not deferring. And it beats not in I predict if I have a couple predictions. But I do predict if they do when the cost it will differ. Was that a 100% until he didn't. Now. He -- an early in the first half. And he spread too big anyway leaving -- the rain. Factor that would certainly it so. My ticket dated right obviously about it is she's going to happen the way you eat a lot of points and that's ridiculous if the weather does anything -- it's gonna keep. The Patriots or maybe putting up as many points as they were going to but it opened they win by 21 record it could be 24 to three year 21 nothing. That she -- that okay. -- am -- go with Mike I think the Patriots can win the game somewhat easily but I I like that that number I think it's too high. And and take the points they actually weak one he planned all these young guys that you don't ruin a whole lot about. You know maybe that's worth. You know mean maybe a big play touchdown for teams in between Bogut freer somethin' makes a play and they score maybe even one touchdown more than you expected. It up like 2813."

Play from 1:48:27[1:48:27]" Yeah I was a little surprised -- this number came up but I'm going to side with the wise guy here say they might know something a little bit. So I'm going to go with the Patriots to cover in this game and here's another prediction. For those who you know doubt Matthew Slater my prediction is if Matthew Slater is -- is the kick off guy. In the first three games you know the primary kickoff guy you'll score a touchdown within the first three games as -- oil and down to an intimate. Unbelievable you gotta go gotta make a stand. Annika and he's off the team. I was -- Gorbachev and -- does -- Lucky was locker today and he's -- him because he's -- team needs and contribute. -- the rookie UK get the ball past when he okay so you're saying. You ain't -- Jacque Jones is going to be more of a factor this year than Matthew Slater -- game absolutely. In the return game yes. Chris from the Bronx keep terrorism on hand. Okay."

Play from 1:49:25[1:49:25]" They're meaningless there."

Play from 1:49:27[1:49:27]" And more of it is that the door. Captain Jeffrey Campbell of the New England innings on the list now it's time find -- urban dictionary. Word of the day. Word. Of the guys especially in the minuteman I."

Play from 1:49:47[1:49:47]" Bail -- first game they'll be about twelve of them by the playoffs is like forty well the great to watch the considerably different. Okay today's. In light of argument about the cinnamon stick -- nine Kahne is in women in. -- band and the sentence as an example Pablo is a cinnamon and -- Okay Gary this is the home opener at Gillette Stadium your of the director of entertainment and any surprises for the fans flyover is anything that they should be like you know. Now what you have to do. Yet there will be a flyover of what kind of plane will be -- fifteenth while prop. Any any any special and it -- it was should be looking forward to we have a big army -- there pregame. Great if they've -- The other team's going to play alive. I don't -- I heard that now the plaza though I don't know if you're involved in the plot out I'd. The -- area's going to be alive be better for the game that not true which like I don't know -- But I heard -- like about adult theaters. Gary you know I think about that -- line okay do we. We somebody fine but the usually give. But they usually give stuff away and yeah home opener is -- my -- ignorant and about that. Walking away and these communities are killing killing you and -- Bank now goes. All right."

Play from 1:51:29[1:51:29]" Gretzky just walked in and handed me a brochure the game with a great you heard the commercial with John -- during the show you want to check it out it's a great way to watch the game. San Francisco game on October 5. This year's ticket includes. Entering into the hall -- Patriot place. Tons of alumni including Banco the new Patriots hall of Famer in the mortgage. Andre Tippett the newest pro pro hall of Famer John -- Steve Grogan he's now in. There -- all there it will perhaps. She's a hall of Famer you know for a classical high school she's in their Hall of Fame. It. What color -- black. You -- what did you cheerleader and that. You don't want to know what she did their I the president and detention. -- by the press releases are officially gone up -- 239. I didn't even spot -- chase and Posey act. I'd Reggie Hodges to the practice squad will be. -- and debris from the practice. Okay that's on pitchers dot com now what else --"

Play from 1:52:40[1:52:40]" The evil comment. In eighth inning. And then. An eagle. On either watch a whole thing the -- and I'm."

Play from 1:52:51[1:52:51]" Of the October would have. Meant -- October. -- very distressed ought to on different. And as a good event and I actually think this is better than last year's because glad -- back was the Cowboys. And that was a huge game and I think you want to watch that game and not be distracted in -- the year. The 49ers game not that they aren't playing the game. The game I'd like to spend with a laundry -- watch John -- and talk a little bit between pleased and shoot the you know. I don't know -- it is not what would look and so with forty bucks -- Forty bucks and you'll also get a ticket to the hall. Pretty cool that's ten we'll discuss it on the ticket to the hall. Fifty. -- but. Fifty but in you have to talk to Brian -- called god. I there -- just to watch the teams from like with the comfort level of the event of trees getting into our little apartment every in the bowl watch in the big. After disco -- San Diego -- yet.
