[0:31]" I am labor and gave up into the -- cat an official podcast of the New England Patriots. Lots and news going around today as a full and he with Paul Perillo -- out vina and Randy an -- higher. What's gonna."

[0:44]" I don't know if I would hear. These days have in this league roster low roster inspiration for the first time in 1999 Paul Perillo. Your first season here in England that's correct Tom Brady not. On the Patriots roster was placed on injured reserve on Monday well. At some point at some -- and Mexican official release and he's on injured reserve is not on the 53 man roster. They made of a island swap I'll call it with Tom Brady on IR Kevin Faulk lining onto the active roster. After one week league pension quickly let Miranda on the other very minor moves in light of the Brady -- forty dig right into that. They released. Punter Reggie Hodges from the practice squad. I ain't quarterback Matt Gutierrez and -- Tom Malone to the practice squad and released -- the Mark Taylor from the practice squad. The only notable on -- Gutierrez in light of the Disney Brady move but the big big topic. Matt Cassel is starting quarterback these New England Patriots timber today and pro ams were in the -- to come to New England potentially be apart of the roster or podcast. But we're sent home without physical work -- all -- bring it all together what's going on a quarterback. Well it looks to mean according to an NFL network local rule Adam schaeffler. Those guys -- in actually or contacted first contact on Saturday. And I think they'll prob which is kinda doing their due diligence -- armored gather in. Quite possibly -- thinking about an upgrade at the back -- position down the road with retain him. And I think as the Patriots and as Belichick said on Monday the situation changed they had to change in plan and I think that's why they sent him home and he was. You know talking about a lot this week -- at a private and I agree -- them. I just don't think they want -- to be looking over shoulders to for an experienced veteran they signed. You know before even start game priority looking to replace him to a three weeks down the road want that new guy -- them down -- that does castle in the good. And I think Belichick -- a big voted conference -- this week would indicate that he did it but. Isn't -- what bill always says where it will do in the best interest of the team not one player not in the best interest of Matt Cassel right now that's in the Internet he could make that argument because there's into Chris and it possibly be ready or a couple weeks in the off correct for so you'll have to have -- play for a couple weeks and so -- just as well well. Is the best interest the football team that would be the part that I never thought."

[3:14]" Eric and I do think is right on -- what you just said. There was you know bad move -- from Peter king and Fred talked about it a little bit this week. While that day they changed their mind because the media got wind of the -- in -- they were coming Foxborough and they don't like when the media know it business and they. I had to throw curve ball that I I never bought from the from the start. And I seen nothing to back that up and then and a Fred had mentioned something that -- after wrote I have looked at all the stuff that after wrote. This week in and -- had not seen anything mentioning that at all and heard him on the radio is that an Italian locally here. On WEEI in the game he just said. He thought it was more a vote of confidence for Cassell and sort of backing him publicly and that the situation that changed they would be it from backed up. And they don't generally want them looking over want Cassel over shoulder I believe that until at that I mean he was asked what is a that you sent those on the final Celtic -- quarterback. You know -- keep calling -- the Lovie Smith -- yet Rex Grossman he's our quarterback. You know sometimes these guys that everyone else is questioning the head coach. Put his below. We've support behind him like Brent not so sure I'm just saying if if that that Oregon -- has like you can have bigger problems than. What we are anticipating and at least off to a good start. Maybe that bill that would be pretty clear that -- sending him home if that's the case if that's the room that you think is true then the littlest thing could -- it. Won that game could send down a spiral toward negativity that's just Al just bring an inning guy for competition is on it. I give you example I don't like that -- and in 2001. You know which is the situation at world. -- recalling now with the with with Brady. Out of the lineup when Brady took over. And he played the first few games but so was in street clothes and helping amount on the sideline you know yet but I at odds soccer Charlie Weis and whatnot. Then all of a sudden what was it 678 games sandy. He -- back in uniform and that first week you know playing the Rams I recall. On Sunday night game here at Foxboro. And Drew got some -- as the second quarterback good you know something like that and Brady's game wasn't that degrade in play particularly well and then that that the week -- Opt out they came out strongly in definitively saying that. Brady was my quarterback for the foreseeable future and that Bledsoe would not be getting the reps and and that -- telling Brady stop worrying about who's well behind -- who here. It's your job go -- play -- responded with probably his best game that your fourth touchdown a three touchdown effort in ain't here at home the following week was. -- terrific game for him. And in August at the rest is history I think that even when you have a lot of conference like Brady is really confident athlete even was then. Sometimes to know that that coach a team make one mistake or two mistakes not coming out. That does wonders for confidence hello but he dirty pretty dirty -- looking into that there is difference I also think if you come on a young quarterback. Is -- enough for voted conference bringing other guys you can explain it by saying listen -- taken all preventative measures here. Let's throw it like three I don't it was -- do you -- having three quarterback this process I usually give away signs if they -- one of those guys I don't think I -- bad move -- in our -- in -- protect -- I think that Belichick -- That's what I have Gutierrez -- in -- talked about the practice on top of that the podcast. There -- three quarterbacks. If something happens somebody there -- three quarterbacks in the get by. If they feel like they've really are in dire straits and the guys just can't play Gutierrez -- when they need to go to open. You can always go out -- you know I've been pretty consistent all summer. I don't think those guys in major upgrade. I really I don't get irritated -- Sam I don't think there's any major upgrade there's a white rock the -- why not be able to -- and showcased a that you are behind well."

[7:14]" I agree with the johnsons or it's their grip over over Gutierrez while the other name on -- Out there is Jeff Garcia who. Is on the outs apparently in Tampa bay -- after that he could be had and so what what about that at at that would really be an upgrade over Hairston. Well Gutierrez there's a talent that -- mean he he beat a better quarterback and you can't deny that his guys had a star yeah I agree. I'm not sure how much you'd have to give up to get him and how much it makes a lot of -- Teach in the offense on the fly via trading deadline is October October 16 -- like that. But not not necessarily having not necessarily to groom him to be a starter but to have a secure more secure back up in the event that something happens to -- yeah I think you get back to. We were they clearly want to be cast."

[8:03]" And -- all with the Brady example one of the most confident. Borderline cocky athletes of our generation Tom Brady went up being one of the greatest leaders to ever play football field. They'll spell check thought it was necessary early in his career. To back to make a and an outward public maneuver to show the ultimate support in Brady. And let the on Matt Cassel is already on -- ground. We had a lot of people emailing our radio shooter in the week calling meter pointer cut in this ought to let him walk -- so if you put. Any quarterback not named pat on the roster that -- that anyone's ever heard of and he struggles for a week quarter they're going to be cheering for that other person because they did it with Tom Brady and -- I've told this before. I was on the field that season when Tom Brady typical for Drew -- Late in the season. As late as the Oakland the Oakland game in the snow the game that made Tom Brady and built a -- dynasty. The chance for Drew Bledsoe and the signs for Drew Bledsoe were borderline deafening on that field that's how. These fans can be a little bit fickle so. I think bill is accurate and maybe thinking that Tom is he Matt Cassell needs to be propped up here at this point is career. I agree on -- from the crowd I agree and Matt Gutierrez could be on the active roster by and -- Bill Belichick clearly left the door open for that. Gutierrez was popular guy in the in the locker room. Interestingly the guys on the roster third round pick number to my dismay Kevin O'Connell just walked through like like it was me know even stop in the optimum -- really have no one cares about Kevin O'Connell right now they like the one in the three the number two. Who's who's number two work here."

[9:44]" Or no one cares as an example of that pre conference to remember the story that mr. Kraft. About his rookie this before. He'd even taken over -- that he expected. Take whose job he he's he's going to be. I forget exactly what you saw Drew played he wanted to make -- he wanted to be the best picked it animated cat on the line on the particular. But the bottom line heading into week two the New York Jets at the meadowlands. Patriots were huge April. At the bottom line. The bottom like the -- I believe -- traveling about all that inning as an auditing of arrest. Anyway Patriots -- as an underdog to the metal and take on the jets' week two with less than that Matt Cassel. His first start since high school a losing playoff game for his -- as he closed out his career backed up Carson Palmer. And -- liner USC back that number eighty year New England -- getting a chance to shine and he learned one thing the August. From another backup turns -- Jeff hostetler told him he took from a conversation with jet off color of the New York Giants. You know let them to a bowl after an injury to fill him. He learned what all. Cassell learned that conference and the transcripts are just because you never heard someone. Do that. Rated do the job this Sunday. At Giants in the medal in New York. It.
