[0:21]" Yeah."

[0:29]" No or experience in -- aren't here to go side by Paul Perillo. Friday September 19 2008 had to check the -- real quick there. Gillette Stadium and other Patriots dot com roster report tall not as exciting as the first couple weeks in a few weeks ago we had the roster cut down to 53. Obviously week one we had the discussion of Tom Brady going and I are a little bit more."

[0:51]" Quiet week here at Gillette Stadium so quickly rundown all the transactions. And that we will and that analyze some of the more interest in 11. Last game weekend the Patriots signed Matt Gutierrez. Quarterback to the active roster and Tom Malone to the practice squad. Oh actually sorry American year's first turn to the practice squad and the active roster and team. They released Mark -- from the practice squad but again as always when I have these moves early on in roster reports don't don't ideas or latter either way. Then early this week the Patriots signed fullback Kyle tackle all current prospect of the roster released tight and even buck. Re signed mark diligent practice squad and released mark Tom Malone from the practice squad and as I -- over the weekend they also added. Good years to the active roster and sent. Who acting CJ JJ Jones a friend of PFW. Let's discuss numbers -- we like him -- his contract is a 53 man roster it's like guys and the obviously paid -- later in the week September 17 -- to re signed tight end Tyson to have three to the practice squad. That's about all the -- now we're going to get the I want to quickly run down the injury report actually think this is the most interesting aspect with the ankle move in the injury report I think that is with the the only intrigue -- did not practice category for the Patriots this week four players -- Wednesday and Thursday. Linebacker Eric Alexander -- Bring back LaMont Jordan put. Running back Laurence Maroney shoulder wide receiver Kelley Washington ankle and yesterday on Thursday added to the injury report with limited participation in practice nose tackle Vince Wilfork with a package. But I want but the running back Paul I think -- most interesting aspect oh all Laurence Maroney get hurt against the Jets lead with a -- shoulder injury returned to the sideline in the third quarter and then returned to the game late in the game got a Kerry. LaMont Jordan carried the load in the second half I didn't really have any signs of injury I didn't that not that I saw that I talked to him for awhile after the game how he's got a foot injury on both -- Maroney did not practice this week as you talked about Kyle -- was added to the roster re signed him. What do we make of the issues here running back well."

[3:04]" On the little can -- because that that gives you six running back and I -- it in and some of them plays special teams and they're not that you know kind of like we look at the defensive back like Jerod cherry in the past wide receiver you know this elderly showing guys like that they would get back but they were really special team. That's a lot of running back or six guys. That tells me that David is at least some concern that. At least one of those two guys Maroney or. Jordan. Is not going to be quite ready to go on Sunday. Yeah the bye week coming out you know maybe. You've played a little extra cautious to give them you know little extra time to rest. Depending on the severity of either injury but yet that that's got me a little bit concern any -- that the Maroney specter affiliations in the past. You don't want him are off already with a shoulder problem and now by the way shoulder that I think it's game one not -- But it ticket shoulder that that he had surgery on in the past what do we make of the Maroney injury in that he returned to the sideline return to the gain. And now doesn't practice actually had to carry there was. It was an issue where he couldn't practice all week you would have thought he would never ever turned the game what do you make of that situation one of those rare things that Indian guy growth. Of one mind you -- scary for me you know during the game. We'll watching and he looked like he was warning back in the game from the out that he had his helmet on the entire time put me in coach would feel standing next to. The coaches and on the sideline he never looked like he was done for the day now -- his return was announced as questionable which it always is. But he he looked like he was raring to go back -- net game and threw out half the second quarter that the entire third quarter and much of the fourth quarter he stood right net spotted a sideline. Never -- in the game all of a sudden -- nineteen attendant they grinding the clock out. They get a first down down about two and a half minute ago games over. Income and goes Laurence Maroney I thought that was a message teams and by Belichick look. You went healthy enough to get back out there this is what we want you to do in two ways first of all. Running hard and in being terrible and second of all dot they're behind the line of scrimmage and watched LaMont Jordan pick up the -- then there. And gave everything too much into that the way I."

[5:19]" I agree we view on that but connecting dabble at the devil's advocate that we usually do. And -- Laurence Maroney knowing his reputation. Knowing maybe the coaches are feeling something like -- just talked about. Was banged up but talked coaches indoor trainers into putting him back in the game. And because of that now has more serious injury I'll while I'm -- is that possible it was that. The exact up and instead of being soft running back who you like hell yeah he prove how tough he was and ended up with a worse injury."

[5:52]" You know what that day around here you're not going to you know Brett because we know how bill handled these things and and he's very consistent with that but. -- that's a possibility from from -- and in hearing some of the comments that bill is made in the past. I think that he's gone a little bit frustrated. With Maroney in particular. And his inability sort of stand up to the full game workload and and some of the comments that we've heard from other players and and people that are in the locker room with sort of backed that up now nothing's Pacific but. I just get the feeling that there's some frustration level on the part of the the coaching staff. For Laurence Maroney and that's why felt like a little maybe a little bit of a punishment might not be the right word but. -- frustrating players dealing with -- injuries Ben Watson off the injury report after being inactive last week looks like he could make a return. On the he does and I certainly they'd be ready after the -- thoughts about one more quick roster thing before we go. Matt Gutierrez added back to the roster throughout training camp everyone thought it was Gutierrez Cassel for the number two role. Now Matt Gutierrez is back on the roster in the number three emergency quarterback role against the Jets with Kevin O'Connell the number two role do you expect that we'll continue. Moving forward and what do you make of that decision. I was a little surprised by it because I felt like. It was like Gutierrez was gone for -- wheat -- you know you want to get him back game he was only gone for a short period of time and the way the Patriots do things probably pretty likely that -- in contact with the -- atlas and you know we might need to it might -- might need you to come back don't don't go too far whatever. -- seems that guy Kevin O'Connell he he was the one warming up when Cassell got. Up yet dinged up a little bit and had trouble shaking off one of those it's that it took against the Jets. And it looks to me like Belichick. Happy or satisfied with that. Having a rookie as top backup right now but we'll see and -- kind of monitor as we go forward here the next week or two and if it stays O'Connell and I say that's the waited I agree. And I think that's going to put the -- on this -- report quick reminder the roster."
