[0:00]" Let's go let's go well somebody without a little while ago bought them pie. -- game one error is Patriots playbook because back on combat thought that being on here briefly. Breaking down last Sundays game -- Superman coverage. And these Gatorade really great yeah. In fact do. -- for the rest of the 2008. And NFL's. And some of the point seven between now here's John -- I'm Patriots -- You know it's a new season we try to log in the computer and -- the security -- in the system is full. Every year awful it happens every year positive it was because I've got you know -- emails and we were here with a program established you know what election exit. In the meantime -- that's. What you're it. Which would you want to go. Welcome -- Patriots playbook. As we -- our program for the 2000 and."
[1:11]" Eight season welcome back my name is John brook. -- has your number while this is your number. For a Patriots playbook your Patriots dot com radio -- very happy -- that reviewed in this season it only. But the good thing about football -- the past week one is during the off season for those -- that each Patriots -- Dribbled the talked the PFW guys. Once a week usually what middle point Wednesday right hand. You pitcher once every other month ordered his issue Patriots football weekly. And it got to keep going but you need football season relief you know get -- And so because of that week. Bring in this show as well and for those that might be uninitiated and forgive me for -- as view or coming back for. Second third fourth physics of -- and eight season arm. Pretty much what we do here's will probably have a different opinion from time to time that what the POW guys who are going to sixteen years now sixteen year -- of the Patriots -- their road. Stadium -- here Gillette. -- into the same thing with a revolution have been in the media here in the New England area Boston Providence Hartford. For twenty years now -- covered the football teams and all the rain and very days and dumb. As a member of the working media. And in particular have been an employee you're for the my sixteenth season. Eight season as we mentioned covering the team on Patriots dot com radio's so which offer little bit of their prospective. We operate things in -- talk radio format like you might hear on your local radio stations no matter where you may be -- were talking about the Patriots that what we do and things that. Might all will be different for the Patriots but. Would expect the Patriots in some former fashion we do -- into the equation the rest of the NFL. Certainly issues that would affect. The Patriots from a National Football League standpoint. Uh oh we will talk about older games around the NFL the situation Warren each and every week you're inside the playbook will preview the upcoming week's opponent for a today little after 3 PM eastern time -- covers the New York Jets for the New York -- He will be joining us here on the program we get into all of the opponent and the other teams media and those who cover the other team. You get a chance to hear from the players themselves. Throughout the course of the program will have the conference call. On with members of the media from the opposition. ID you know it's all here it's all here but the main thing we want you to know. Is that we needed you're participation. The show doesn't move unless you participate just like U of W Roberts. The web addresses this web radio at. Patriots dot com that's the same email address we used the same emailed him inbox web radio at Patriots dot com that you'd get a cell. If you have some thoughts at least initially. On -- you know if you haven't had a chance to have your -- read about you know -- Tom Brady's story. Or about this team were about the way this team is now being perceived it throughout the the NFL Robinson thinks -- share with you -- that's concern."
[4:18]" little bit. By all means fire away if you've been firing all females and you haven't yet had them read on the err on the program. As Fred mentioned as a short while ago Wheldon will get to those on kimono and a couple moments. All the meantime there's a phone line available for you if you want to call in. Radio dial. We're not going to cut off year we're not going to blow you appear -- that we maybe Milliken on pins and Terry's mood. But you know I'm interested in European. I'll give you my opinion that doesn't make it right it does make it wrong it's just an opinion. You know like belly buttons everybody hasn't been -- oh here we deal EI exactly right. There's. Yeah there's another there's another analogy that often used but try to keep this a more -- the very code is 5543. 7482. There's your telephone number 585437482. And number on a discount roll right off the finally -- were three of the 482. If you dial that number will coach on the program and you can get your Patriots question and or NFL question now all end will often run the other thing and it really love doing on the Shell. Quite often. We will hear from fans. The opposing team. Because they'll be stumbling out of the week or two Patriots dot com I'll hey look they've got their own -- radio programming on the website and it. To my imagination where the still the only team. In the 32 in the NFL that does daily lie or regional. Radio programming on the website. There -- a lot of the teams that stream press conferences and -- conference calls locker room interviews and things like that. Bullets nobody does their own own regional live. Radio programming over the in the Patriots. So to that in. Oftentimes will get fans of the -- the Patriots you can order placed -- and the -- it -- program because they want to hear what we have Tuesday about the team oval we might have to say about. Them. And that's what I -- about the that's the beauty. In in the yours now that we're row broadcasting Patriots playbook and we look at the maps on the wall here we're we've gotten -- personally. We've got an email from play like Afghanistan. Several places in Europe. Throughout most of Asia but it surprising that in -- there's quite a bit of the of an influence right here in good -- going. There are still obviously Patriots fans living in New England. Who well you can get the Patriots though when they want to generally speaking and talk radio but just can't get enough or they want a different opinion. While it's great we're glad that you -- and make sure when -- in the email you let me know where you're writing from. Give me your hometown what we want but where you riding from at this particular -- when your firing off the email. Let me know where you were listening to in the and that would be and -- league web radio at Patriots dot com. Final 85437482. At telephone number. In our email -- figure you know you do have futures ninety. All of these pocket protector if you know. You need to -- puck all these -- still good to aren't aren't starting with -- beautiful. Our let me if he does a little bit of AM. -- give you a little bit of a take come on obviously the stories over the last. 36 to 48 hours and in the post it demise of the New England Patriots in last week's bowl here the last time that we had. Patriots playbook. As part of the programming year. It was right prior to the Super Bowl week before the Super Bowl last year. And I have to admit there's a little bit of the of of all the right phrase would be you maybe -- a little bit of an economic. I suppose which you know media people we all have a little cynicism. Hum. I heard somebody today and I believe this was. Remember who was a it was a national show host accurate which was I'm not going to in my article one of the Boston measures it was not. But I heard somebody earlier today on a national radio network say that. What is happening to the Patriots. And the Super Bowl. Is nothing. -- It is. Nothing -- Tom I don't know that you know I -- human negative karma I mean let's let's -- Fact is is that when the Patriots in the Super Bowl it took. Pretty much what was it 59 minutes. In in a few seconds. It took -- of fluke of a miracle play to beat the Patriots though. If you're looking at the -- amount out of your fan of another team. You'll probably just -- what happened because the Patriots got beat. Hi an incredible. Miracle like. David Tyree catch the ball against his helmet I was just it was a -- And you have that happened then you get to the pre season. You're an NFL MVP quarterback doesn't play all pre season. He finds a way to get into the lineup as the regular season opens seven and a half minutes in two. This season he goes down with a season ending knee injury. And so because of an an oh and let's go back a little further. Fact is the Patriots right in the middle of what is being commonly referred to is by getting. This time a year ago getting ready to play the Jets right this is when it happened one year ago."
[10:07]" And so because you got like eight and because you have an excruciating loss. You know the Super Bowl and because you've now lost the reigning NFL MVP for the entire season."
[10:19]" There are Patriots naysayers out there that simply believe this is just karma. That the world is just writing it -- because everything is gone so right for New England that the law of averages. Is just correcting it now it's just catching up to itself. When I heard that I I -- I almost. I almost drove off the road. I can -- why. Maybe a Jets fan would think that I can certainly see why maybe a Buffalo Bills aura or Miami Dolphins fan would say that I can team Y Giants say that even though. I don't know why you load the Giants beat the Patriots. Unfortunately as we all recall. I can see why. Someone who would be a Patriot hater would it just it's just karma you know it is the law of averages catching up you guys. You've had much good happened you won three Super Bowls in seven years and you've been enabled it to to get by without serious problems happening to you than just the law of averages catching up. I happen to believe in the sort of you know goes along what I just got to -- for -- the guys here. Short while ago I sort of -- what that does though it -- socially. Understand what -- 52 players on the football team have done. Over the course the last eleven years. There have been 53 players on the team that have contributed. There's been coaching staff all that the Bill Belichick. That is contributed. Certainly I like you know Scott pioli has contributed. Positively and negatively we get into that another time but -- This is a you know surely I think there's a lot of doom and gloom because bradys the full point in and the quarterback is the focal point. -- any game. On any football. And the quarterback is going to get more than his fair share of praise. As well as the quarterback is always going to get more than his fair share of criticism why the good of football is in his hands. More often that anyone else's on the team. Whether it's right or wrong that is just a byproduct of being a quarterback. There's no doubt that Tom Brady. Is extremely talented we all know what I tell it's not a rocket is that not a news flash. We know that when you're the most valuable player of the National Football League. You are one of the perimeter players in the game that's what you are the -- and when you lose a player of that caliber you're team is going to suffer because of it. No doubt. Whose team is probably I would say a good bet not to break it all off and have record. But for a year ago considering what they did last year. Okay you know what even -- healthy Brady they were a good bet not to break those records because what they did last year was extraordinary. Witness the fact that they hung a -- Out of the stadium. Anybody know this those -- that were here on on the use all this there's a banner in the opposite corner of the stadium from the three Super -- That pays tribute to the sixteen in oh regular season. But frankly I found that what -- all the benefit I thought that was very un Patriot like why. Well because the Patriots. Have all but about championships. And because they didn't win the championship last year after going six you know the regular season. I thought that well. It didn't count. But the fact that the team thought enough. Of what they accomplished last year in the regular season to put the batter up on the opposite end -- they didn't. They they didn't draw attention to -- there was -- on hurling ceremony it was just -- Because of that that tells me that what these guys -- accomplishment last year is significant. And they thought that it merited because nobody L in National Football League history has ever done it. That is a tribute to what this organization has done as a team. As a team. Even though Tom Brady is out there are 52 other guys that are not out. There are fifty to the guys players now. All the players who now each and every one of them are going to put a little bit more weight on their own shoulders including Matt Cassel. And there are all want to try to. You know last year was it so much time talk about the Patriots love to get the proverbial chip on the shoulder right. That they look for negativity. Just -- the concrete create the old chip on the shoulder attitude the us against the rest of the world attitude."
[15:08]" Boy I gotta tell you they have gone overboard with this one. Should put a chip on their shoulder. We can't win without Tom Brady. Think about that for -- at the -- of it. On the shoulder of the New England Patriots. He can't win. Without Tom Brady. They're all saying audience and they're all hang on NFL network."
[15:38]" The ball and on fox."
[15:41]" There all day on sporting news in Sports Illustrated and CNN has not at all other web site and magazines and in portals and every -- you go to radio station this that -- brawl the Patriots are are they cannot and without Tom Brady. You don't think the that's going to just pissed off a couple of guys in that locker room. -- don't think the Patriots you know. Are going to take it as a personal affront. You probably handle this as well as I do or anybody it's actually been in that locker and why because your your patron St. you've been through -- You've heard it you listen to. Pretty soon if these guys keep women you know were all going to pat on the back it's a good job of -- in -- are going to go. It's business as usual BA you around here. Or you congratulating us for simple regular season win over the Jets the Dolphins the bills or whomever why. I mean thank you for the compliment button is not any different than any other day. I thought that was significant. Win the players and coach Belichick were on here yesterday during Patriots Monday. And the questions of the day were consistently asked."
[17:01]" Oh is that somber in the locker room. What what's it like in the locker room. And the universal was pretty much typical Monday. Business as usual typical Monday. Guys going about their business were looking at film reviewing videotape try to get better as a football team typical Monday. And let that prodded. There was -- mention. Tom Brady on because in that locker remember Tom captain Thomas a leader Thomas won the best to his positions early in the NFL right now. He's also one of 53. And that's the way these guys here look at it. One guy is down. It's up to the other 52 to pick him up and picked themselves up. Now. -- may be a few players they'll have to carry more than their fair share of the load. Until a guy like Matt Cassel and you -- get up beat and beat effective quarterback really all you want Matt Cassel to do here. Okay if Romo maligning. That we've all done on Matt Cassel yours truly included here I didn't think he was going to be I didn't think he'd be eight in and -- caliber quarterback like. But in all this is why guys like Bill Belichick Scott pioli in the coaching this is why they make the decision they do and we have the jobs we did. They saw something in him. Even after this horribly that pre season that this team just -- They -- something indium. That indicated you know what he's still our guy. -- much older they decided -- at least for now that doesn't mean that they won't revisit this but for now. The single thanked him. -- camera today. Or Joey Harrington whose name -- come today or Daunte Culpepper and the other guys that might be out there -- any of the agents from some of these players who didn't call yesterday. And they were bought for their client. And the answer is in the not right now I don't think I think we're pretty good good built like. I'll keep your number just in today. Tells me that these guys all along. Have thought. This is -- this is what we want to do. And even after as a does that even after the pre season which was just released as -- a pre season as. As we've seen around here a long time early record wasn't -- I mean they've gone over four. In the pre season what 9293. 1990 or in the early nineties arm. Has been a long time that's happened. I was I was one who thought that may be Cassell would be the one cut. Not Matt Gutierrez who obviously was. I thought the cap might be the one to go that. There might be some serious consideration of bringing in a veteran as a back -- And it didn't happen. Didn't happen that keep Matt Cassel because they still like what they saw and I can't here's a guy that has all the tools now at his disposal. -- make the excuse at all he was played second third team -- Can make that excuse anymore. He's got all of the weapons at his disposal all Matt -- now needs to do. Is just. Play mistake free. Don't turn the ball over don't forced the ball into places where it doesn't need to ago. Don't get the ball ball batted down the line of scrimmage. The accurate. The weapons -- place she got Wes Welker you got Randy Moss. You'll have David Thomas and end Benjamin walk and you'll have those guys. You got your forecast. He got Laurence Maroney. You got. You know anymore -- Frankly that is unfairly taken a lot of flow of the heat for he'll block in -- Tom Brady for the the entry. You know could've been played better sure worked. Man this football okay this is not -- is not table tennis. This is football. Football is a physical violence order out -- jumpers and put it on NFL films. What bull. Is a violent sport you know something along those lines do you have that -- we have I don't."
[21:28]" America is a special game. A unique game. Lead nowhere else on that it is a rare game. Then -- play and make himself."
[21:40]" They -- How to do with little boys. I wish we always -- out like a guy of that my friends is the -- Voice of god. There's only one BOG it has jumpers in the late great jumpers and a well enough they'll they'll arm. But it's true. Everything is true. Absolutely true it's a violent sport. Injuries happen. The Patriots have been very fortunate. Not to have had something like this happen. To a guy like Tom Brady over the last you know several years they've had several injuries which you. Lucky guy but always always the Patriots found a way to remain competitive when he guys have gone down in the past. So I ask you. Patriots fans and non Patriots fans I asked you why is this any different why is Tom Brady's. Injury any. Different I agree he has the ball -- fans. More than anybody else because he's the focal point. You know things to revolve around him but. Can't they all recall if you have -- but if everybody L all pro caliber does that bring the whole team down. A notch and make the team no longer all pro. Just because you got somebody else who -- obvious flashy -- may not be quiet is accurate. Certainly not as experienced Tom Brady. I think by saying that the Patriots are done. You were doing a discredit it disservice to the other 52 guys on the roster. And here's the messages that I would give her to fans of the Jets. And the -- And the Dolphins. And anybod
