[0:00]" Rodney Harrison. Very often but. They're out. There. Well we have lobbyists which. He's very efficient. Quarterback can be called girls. Not a very mobile quarterback. You know. He can get the job done he's done in the past and -- lot of weapons. Witnesses. Well much young guys some new faces. Some guys. -- have been -- up and well -- games what was the wide receivers. Two running backs up after you brown -- Ricky Williams very productive. It physical backs that -- the Bobcats ought to run quality pretty much too long -- this week. Here. Recognize in ways you beat me. I think we've we've done pretty good job so far it's only its second game of the season we have a long way to go. Players them food and definitely -- and the fact that we've we've improved in the red area and our goal line. And that's still a point of emphasis and that's something that hopefully carry over it -- there now. We do that should continue to do that and -- I."

[1:28]" What they've come. The measure of toughness on the team is you know definitely kicking game kickoff team. The return game as well as running the ball stop and stop and runs update. You know with the weapons they have at running back -- that's an issue of concern for us to stop those guys I'll let them get going. Cause. Pretty much can dominate you think you're going to gain confidence so. We definitely have folks that yet focus on in down the field as a -- half of them as well as the Titans. He's run at a bar he looks good he's going to -- catch some balls out of the backfield so he's not just limited. What you -- when he comes in he could just run the ball in your mind and -- and you know he's run some routes out there all linebackers safeties. So they've definitely want to get on the ball as well as Ronnie Brown and desperate."

[2:19]" Ball around pretty you've seen him do ourselves and -- I'm not sure about the Bill Parcells on Tuesday you know the that they have a difficult coaching staff somewhat different philosophy. Very aggressive they -- very physical. Very athletic so regardless what their record is -- to come out fired up. It's probably go the opposite of what happened to us last last witness Jets no one thought we had a chance to beat the Jets now mom is coming in with that same situation. So you know we're not get while yeah ourselves well focus on and try to field."

[3:03]" And -- nine years of NFL experience and he's been a pro bowler starter. First round draft choice so pressure. It's nothing new to delta I think he's done a tremendous job he plays on my side -- really listening in and doing a great job communicating. It's -- seemed to force us to terminology is little different and you know we're friends and that we have good relationships so it allows us to work that much easier together and you know he's the consummate pro. -- What you feel good you play good you know and Richard he's been dominating for long time. Two really good to see him. You know up to par and believe -- Richard Seymour -- when he's at his best. I mean there's -- want to stop so. He's helping our team out he's a tremendous leader on this team worked extremely hard and he's grateful butler. -- we play off each other means that we -- coverage down we're covering guys back there that gives them opportunity our front guys as well. As well as -- outside linebackers the -- quarterback pressure. And -- repeated in return if they're putting pressure on the quarterback that gives -- chance to get our hands on some balls and really disguising coverages and be able to do some things back in so. The -- it's about eleven guys is not about us you know front segment of middle section which is linebacker sort of defensive backfield all guys doing their job. To be successful. Ellis Hobbs. "

[4:42]" The foundation always building and trying to. You know in the mentality of you know certain issues take care of things no matter to list here -- than on the things that we're promised in the -- before. But anytime you start the season. Bill always emphasizes the problems it's having the begins he's. A -- of an assortment -- and did not take care overly. So will we gotta do is it's come Monday's game with a positive note victories and know what we do well Oakland really emphasized the negative things because. Those -- the things that can hurt you further down in -- Ellis."

[5:13]" This defense to take it personally that yes how's it going last week. Talk about -- I mean you just used to it it is. I don't want to get on that goes last week. The score that -- you know we'll move on a Miami. Do you guys use that that was that as motivation -- Going forward in -- game and not kind -- sometimes. My motivation to me. As -- my motivation is me I gotta feed my family. I got do what I need to do to to keep its could be successful out there. And I think my teammates say the same thing we've -- try to and we -- on the you know this. Out of motivation from you guys if we use that as motivation and will be you know have tissue boxes by. Bob -- every de Mayo be crime -- guess they thought. We don't you know -- that in that we just we just do we do and let them play for us. -- Armenia through Ellis out as the when he's in pain whatever. Begin a 100% -- you know what every game you. I mean it's out of -- personally you know army so. Is this. I -- that after the man in maybe to make plays on the ball and if that takes practice habits. A mob mentality is far that I approach the game. You know into in this tough focused on the little things little things -- seen that in these warm. Have an opportunity to make plays could ruffled some little thing I think. To continue want to have to continue to do when -- to a focus on the things have good practice that. Trust nobody can just especially. You know I did does that take -- it is you know. And they my motivation and the and the what I can do. I know what I can do you know just kind of block everything else out. And you know take your validity. I'm not going to hear and can cry about things in August attitude -- second unit in the day and the."

[7:23]" Myself and immensely you know and -- mall when it was or performance. The best performance you know -- gave him all about it. -- Yeah that was on. There's really -- To work being on the time. That we're allotted on practice in the off topic -- He's he's that -- and that's that's a credit to him you know as far as. You can never of even meaning sane and you know what I don't think again -- at this -- You know where he's breaking down individuals. At wide receivers and tight game and Mets would he's breaking them scheme to passing routes all of these things we are you have to do is pick of the pains -- this. You know write it down and and see what he's saying you know he's a very he's in great Pincus. He has the ability great level of disarming where he can see things. How they're going to approach the game -- looking at us. And really you know tell us what our weaknesses are and how they're going to attack. For the last two weeks you know it's worked out pretty well. You know just focus in on you know whatever I'm doing. And practice whether it's I'm able to make a play on the ball no make that play. Where you know. Some guys you know they'd kind of less slack off a little because his practice or whatever but it's transitioned over into the game you know because also on the you know. Practice have -- you know making plays regularly expecting me in the game so you know just things. And it. It you guys -- we're constantly first two weeks -- this -- wants them in its embryonic you know makes him away. You know they work for us we -- ago. If you don't have any pressure on the on a quarterback a -- You know and they need Clinton ball but if you know hold those guys have been begging. You know -- of got the pressure on so you know as great as they've they've. As they have done up there in the front you know no we done a great job and -- hold them off and I think they would -- this thing."

[9:26]" Stephen Gostkowski. Just a good good -- him you know. You know I felt good ironic today isn't as good combination. That's what. That. It's it's on Sheridan if you can kick the bombers and ends on the high schools the suspects things like 95% like Nixon. I scored such. What -- I don't remember I control our common guided. And then there really care too much -- capability like high school. But unser some somewhere along -- four -- again. Days like Sunday making -- people picking schedules at any our films not you me. He fell a little bit about yourself and of the game like that want to dwell on that you know bank of Ireland itself. North like the challenge. Of them -- cold and windy and stuff like that. No we get to practice and always so I think. Home games we've we can as the events as some guys come and then that accident Nomo leaders' summit. Fridays ago from this to a -- From the dome or warm weather to cold selves known that it. You gotta you know deal with which he which he got to get to work within dollars and bills for a everybody sees the field position. That seems like. Yours was huge you know Coachella is always start off every meeting with special things. You know he's he's he's -- reiterate how important is that -- thing and not just the guys that are out there. You know it is as a starter again it's not as many plays but it still. A big thing and in time he can help your offense outward. You know good field position whether to retire. Having defense out you know goes along -- when. You know other team testified -- yards every time our in our we get a good aren't they going to go -- like that. Now it makes a lot tougher. No it it went on all three phases play together it's a good it's in the you know good good. Recipe for success that your experience. He kicks you practiced. -- on. Yes. You average which kicks."

[11:43]" Policy. I mean. You know we don't count -- just some days some days. It's it's. One in -- where it was like the full operation. It's hard on that we like K. We're going to play five to ten with a team in the practice we go up on the field by ourselves we. I think there's forty hit with operation every day for practice this you know -- you know it sometimes. You know. My coach -- I'm not don't sound right sometimes you just call it quits then because you don't want. You're if you're doing something wrong you don't develop bad habits and has a fine line between -- kicker not -- too much and I think. Brad coach Belichick do pretty good job monetary. They realize that -- new guitar and start doing different things start. You know trying to kick to -- that's when he turned him in trouble so we you know it's it's it's a routine just like -- whales that. It one way with the way one way against the way and it. The thing about it way it really is practiced short or long ones or vice versa assists. -- so monotonous what I did you know. It can you vote this way go back -- yards on the same thing every day. And that's what you have to do as a kicker partner fiscal position you -- do the same thing every time consistent."
