Good afternoon welcome to -- in I've all the hall of Famer pro football hall of Famer Andre Tippett. More importantly this week -- Patriots hall of Famer. Andre Tippett."

[0:56]" You know -- all year and also got I mean my yellow one of our red or. Ought to do now is by the Mets and lack some of whom are good to go to win the masters. The number of love Andre Tippett like mad love about there's. It has been an amazing this past week -- was. It somewhat like a blur like it was a new 1010. To watch mighty. Fellow hall of famers."

[1:27]" Enjoy the weekend to jacket in the presentation of the Paul and why neutral Beason and and these guys were blown -- let me ask you something because I heard someone make -- a negative comment not pertaining to do. The ceremony of the festivities. But that there's only quote one Hall of Fame now you happen to be in the one that -- it was referencing as well. But can you just give us and in -- Andre into what. This Hall of Fame mean for guys. That basically the greatest players ever plea. A column for the New England Patriots and there are great players now. Everybody's gonna make it to the pro football Hall of Fame. Everyone knows -- and."

[2:21]" But. Every team acknowledges. Their greatest players. By either. Well wall of -- A Hall of Fame. Com ring of -- ring of honor have you have Kansas City has. They do agree. I should be to -- former players Green Bay Packers haven't. Very. The oracle Hall of Fame dinners and it in green day. And you know if I'm. Yeah why why you why wouldn't you have yet honoring."

[2:55]" Some of the greatest players -- we organizers sore and I thought I mean overall that the weekend in the weekend was was impressed that. Because. The players embraced the opportunity. To come back and -- apartment you know. I was talking to talk with John McEnroe Brian Lowe about how impressed I am with people in our organization. And how they execute and do their job so well. But really it comes down to the fact that you guys. Made it special it meant a lot TU you may mean a lot to everybody L. And I think it's a lot easier for people like me or people like they James -- and -- and people in the organization. To really embraced it because we know what it means you guys how special. Absolutely I mean I've been involved in original 1980. And it has been. That you from the back then. Sure."

[3:51]" This weekend for me to be with. More of the guys that are still around that though it was they would get here and and part of it is ceremony. And doesn't Rian and to an induction. Ceremony. Is it it's a fantastic. Fantastic fantastic and."

[4:10]" Yeah and the I just not -- great guys like nick Buoniconti -- Mike -- Guys -- that aren't there only can littered around the country quote unquote Patriots because they didn't finish their career here they both. Played about half their career Mike -- played exactly half but then went our way to win championships almost like. We look at a guy like Rodney Harris who played a lot of years in San Diego came here was a part of two Super Bowl champions I think people around the league when he's all the -- he's a Patriot."

[4:42]" Absolutely going to mean he came here. And he's -- through. It -- that was -- and and he had chemical championship rings oh. When Austin on computers you know prod him about it but he's going to in his. -- And helping bring a championship and so. You know my week and you know. That was a different time. Those you know times -- different back then and you can understand throughout history and a lot of these guys got a hit on history. And why things went the way it is -- So column for me it's no big and -- I I was very fortunate to play with him for a year and half before. He went to Oakland. And I tell him to this day I truly believe that might. It would have given us -- rule rule opportunity to to win a champion me. And -- That avenue period maybe eight year period he and Ramon Claiborne were who have the best. On a combination of the national football. And you know we were still building the team Dick Steinberg agreed Trenton 82 and and we have more guys drugs and then. 85 we hit a drive and well we we we get there it. -- can't imagine how many great players that we missed out on and wait and a now wholly different rule was complete. And total opposite. What the organization was when experts."

[6:26]" You listening in -- on Bryan Morry hall of Famer Andre -- you're literally in -- on putting next week. Let's go back and hear one B beats per -- from Friday night. In trying -- dinner gala. That was at the hall at Patriot place presented by Raytheon. Andre you touch on something there that I'd like to. Dig further into talking with John Hanna at the hall on Saturday. And he he he was reference inning and actually reference -- Friday night when he spoke well. About on the bitterness. He felt when he left the organization I think Mike -- You know -- and the same sentiment and what it comes back to is. That everyone is -- incredibly impressed and reference all weekend. Robert Kraft. And his vision and and not to harp I mean -- that -- on the field has one thing Robert Kraft bought the team in 1994. -- the most of franchise on the field. In the National Football League. But look around and hall -- the latest. Maybe the the most recent cherry on the top of the ice cream Sunday but. Everyone was so impressed with the way he's changed the face of the organization. Absolutely."

[7:43]" And I I you know it is funny for me. I've watched it from top from bottom to top and I actually had a conversation both Mike and regarding that and you know we we we we talked him in and it greatly and you know and basically came down to hate those guys in the -- he. Knew. New organization. This is a successful businessmen who are very successful before he. Whose team and he has brought his. That's his business savvy to the organization to basically we. Give us what we're bragging about today is great facilities and great Patriot place these great hall. Patriot place. And you know it's just they. Phenomenal. Phenomenal phenomenal. Right to be here right now and you know my conversation both of those guys were -- you know at some point. You let it go enjoy it because you know. You now have a place. That you truly can call home now. You know obviously you had a please call home because you know you are radiant future Hall of Fame but now we have me physical. Buildings. Where we -- on Burnett out faces numbers. Memorabilia. Who is up in there and will be there forever oh. You know when you when those guys eighty years all of the -- combat. They can always. I'm featured. --"

[9:20]" It's a leg in and you know I look at it and Robert Kraft and the legacy that he's created here. But that's a legacy for you guys and that's where your legacy will forever be. On the plane people always milieu of the greatest and and I think. You know it is not a rare thing for the average person. -- all the average person can't really relate to. It did you know to have you know -- contributions preserved. In such a unique way or in anyway for that matter where it's permanent has the feel pretty good. Absolutely."

[9:54]" I I. Obviously you in the meeting I was at. Every event that was the year. For the week it was over. -- about. It were you pleased me chatter that Robert Kraft family and everybody that was involved with the whole. Gathering. Please let them know we're very appreciative. Of everything they did and that pleased to tone there's. First class all the way and getting back to your statement I mean for me I was very lucky. To go to get a little teaser the -- we announced it. Watching how they do things and I tell you what we. Got as close. As you could possibly get. To being in camp and in in in in giving the experience. -- hall of famers and we did some things that would different tours. Along the same lines and it it was just for me it was amazing I mean I'm I'm here in the building. But. I was still able to enjoy it back and to gather everything in which I did and it was. It was a lot of fun it was so enjoyable watching how we did it. And we do the right way everything we've done. Since Robert has bought the team is about to do things the right way and we continue to try to."

[11:22]" We've we continue to get it right I apologizes for a stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway. As someone who works in the building and he's so low we always say at times like they're going to come into the hall on day. You know have some kind of critiquing and and you guys they really don't like that and they are -- too close -- a and note that. You being so close. Is it hard not to take some of what is he from granted. Is it hard for me like you're you're you're in New York in the hall right and and you dedicate -- and -- did that whole thing right. And to walk down that red carpet. Did you did you have --"

[12:04]" Eddie -- it everything I -- Starting starting with the ribbon cutting on Thursday and then having our dinner on Friday. It and having now loans on Saturday afternoon. And in the instrument ceremony. I thought what we did from the very start. Friday. Was probably lose lose thing. We could pop we've done. I could you couldn't I can't pick another way or another. Two errors. How we should do. Because it was done the right way do you had the guys come up you present them with via their rejected. You know couple of questions. You give the fans and I don't your mentality as a player and what made you great. Because a lot of what. Was happening in his look back over the weekend. Think about the course and there were productive. Were really no different than a lot of people but we just happen to be. Or as you aptly. And -- that it is of great success and be in the best of hard work and nobody said it was about me being me it was me in my teammates. You know -- All of it loses. Unbelievable. In yes. Although I mean kitten. But a mall -- in new -- has called me. It is it is that would be in pages all of Ames's. What did you think of the hall all the moves -- this week in the first -- really -- NC most of it. Yeah I finally got -- Walk around -- it it might my kids -- my eyes on could have stayed in all we could just giving them -- and sort of block the plate. I think he won the noble eight times that I can -- he Willie's our kicker and pop Warner and he's where he was actually. Practiced and people don't realize. But I I thought the hall had everything it could. Uga. Messages. Stories from all the great players -- here. It's great. Great great. Memorabilia. You have. Legendary. You know it was my rookie year snowblower want to -- yeah. You know I was I was here to watch like -- Do what you did I'd come here to watch all world champion. I know Larry Garrett and I know. They've -- know nick Buoniconti. You know -- I played with Steve Grogan are awesome his greatness and watch him and Stanley Morgan. Make the connection down island -- score route. Hunt. And every -- you thought you always knew. That was going to bring that back into the game it was going to pull. Away from what we were in tight. Conscious with so. In all that walking around unit -- while I was okay now the one negative from the weekend. Sunday. Well yeah well you know. It happens it happens it happens -- the best of us. It's it's it is always -- that a reminder that. You can never. It lightly not and that we took anybody lightly but it just goes -- today. You have to be geared up ready to go you have to have -- 100% effort. By eleven and -- on eleven and off all special teams and everybody be clicking together because you're not. So polite and he could happen to anybody."

[15:56]" Web radio a Patriots dot com you can email your question Andre Tippett Andre. Getting back to that I think that. Do you ever feel like guys on the field ID you aren't giving a 100%. I mean the Everett and I have -- pass -- this before I was due to going to college Q when and I had he ever. He faced and that take plays off and I yeah he goes you don't think you do but when you watch film you do would you go with that."

[16:27]" you know. I'd I'd probably -- in people's intensity. What you know that that. Like mall. -- I mean. You know it's funny I'd."

[16:44]" Plays hard and remember plans are hard and as I would come off to feel that we've done our three and out we optimal and remain scored on world who office goes back out there. I'm sitting down gather my thoughts on -- think about ways that when I go back out there what I can do to beat my man and then -- Concerts in and try to win. But you know be."

[17:11]" You can say. Someone may have taken plays off its kinda hard. Because you're doing -- thing when you're out there you and you know he does so it'd be able to look around and say you know what you can do his job you know. That guys are going to miss that they're going to miss or mister Reed. Miss a tackle. That's not a -- night games that is bad technique. Maybe -- in the meeting on that particular play that couldn't even music he. You can. Do you might want to question -- I."

[17:49]" Get the game and I say you know the fans have a bad game but because I think the situation. The way it is with Tom getting hurt. People now or waiting for that. The other shoe to drop right and it's important that happens it's like our DC we can't do. And certainly the fans. Reacted negatively on Sunday Ellis Hobbs yesterday. Undressed the fans. I would say accurately all but I'm not sure as a player that's. The fight you want to."

[18:21]" Mom and all I think that. It's never -- player's -- to. Acknowledge anything like that I mean I've been. Sporting event where okay -- for him it done and you know what -- beat traffic. Yeah -- You know -- fans come to get paid ticket David cone as he becomes your performance and you know. The -- to -- on the other foot who knows decision. -- disorders that would me calm but you know. I care. And I would never could arm so would people door open and because I'd -- Thousand people who stands I've -- it to him you know 20000 people in the game lean years lean years so. I've never really notice that I -- at the and you. That we're on an airplane hit and back or after a game home game on target that and you know we've looked -- how we feared he'd be. Attendance numbers. While I was only 30000 rooms around 40000 here you know while but I don't control panel controls they can't."

[19:35]" Yeah I get the and that I'll probably regret saying that although you know only to -- in his mind being on the mean we always want the players beyond -- lower in the media -- and then when they do we could not in a while yet."

[19:47]" You you definitely want to persons anyway well hey that's what you feel. And understand the ramifications. Or. You know I'd -- often told player's. Team care what I sat next to a guy that you know. Last week game. You know I don't put self well liked and you know goals. Those are things that you can control -- those looking at things that you can controls so. You know today's society with the media Internet and blogging. You know loses the their radio the computers. You leave you -- so vulnerable and there Attica and you."

[20:32]" Spotlight on his own in the -- you know. And they are too and they now they'll be -- Ellis -- you know you want to speak to the fans really go out back it up and and and the fans throughout the right to do that I I guess from hyper active as a fan and I'll speak for myself. Not for any player now or or for Ellis Hobbs but. You know I wish they would be a little more patient I mean the team won 21 regular season games an era below one they play badly. I -- is that an indication of things that count is that a sign of bigger problem I have no idea I don't have a crystal ball but I know that the team has kind of earned. And leeway here yet."

[21:12]" I mean. Who knows I mean it. You know the football's funny business it is a business where guys."

[21:21]" Are. This is. Paranoia. Coaches are paranoid this is all roundly them I guess I'm talking from experience. You know you got different scenarios. That are out there -- by a week. Her own signature is all that you know. Miami hadn't done things may have taken lightly probably had the win are written in the column. Here all it now children but. Hey it. Football is a game that cannot take a playoff can't he can't lower your intensity level. You can never take anything lightly. The all the bowel. Given everything you've got and going into that."

[22:14]" Back in the late ninety's I remember guys. -- at certain things I don't know why this went out my head but it was in 98."

[22:23]" Loss in St. Louis. Against the Rams who went four and twelve out here the year before they won Super Bowl in fact. And a -- Willie clay and we came out flat and that was always my biggest."

[22:34]" Pet -- but that cliche will be thrown out there you play 1 week. How could you possibly come out flat they get the team put you on your heels by kicking your tail. But how can you possibly come out flat out an afternoon. Not ready to play any no I mean it's it's cleans itself in Torre and obviously he heard from somebody. It took quest and it took quite. You know it it -- errors in the court in which. You know for me I'd probably say. I have no idea what happens. Not until I watch a film on Monday can I tell you give UC 100 -- on that's no way may have happened. And even we're watching film you really can't tell. -- you know you can get a better you can make it better assessment by waiting until Monday. Look you know what the better team won Bill Belichick made it. Perfect statement. We got outplayed. The team won today. We will or we get ready for the next right now and he."

[23:43]" I mean I know how well you know coach Belichick and whatnot that."

[23:48]" How how much -- how much time do you think he spends."

[23:52]" On that game with the players I'm sure there's plenty of play he could rewind rewind rewind rewind rewind well are we doing here reliant. You know but is it sometimes if it's that bad is it easier to say you know what we're moving on."

[24:08]" You know I I've I've been part of two scenarios I've been. You know what you have no daylight but votes he probably right after the game at the at a team meeting and players -- the Steelers you know Monday. You -- normally I looked at every angle. And zone copy our copy provinces and he probably in the United tool who knows what time. And I came in the next day. And put it back on again look at look at it again and over and over but I've I've been in I've been in locker rooms where. Head coaches say. That game was awful. We're not even going to look at I don't want to look at it we don't got to feel. We're not don't want. And I've gone on the other hand I we need to see. What happened. This never happened to us again this season. And so. With that being at. He goes either way."

[25:08]" You're in that the whole pro football hall of Famer Andre Tippett and I'm Bryan Morry. Webb really Patriots dot com email address checked -- as your -- Andre Tippett will be right back tomorrow after the."

[25:20]" Patriots place new -- first and only super regional like -- and everything obscenities now open right next to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough mass. The New England Patriots and -- the revolution is now home doing what's most exciting entertainment shopping destination infantry circuits. Christmas tree shops are probably shoots staples and -- first bass pro shops Patriots place -- your shopping needs."

[25:46]" And coming into Patriot place is the first CBS yeah. Restaurant and bar called four star hotel showpiece live entertainment venue and along with the hall at Patriot place presented my rookie --"

[26:00]" Shopping and entertainment dining experience is unlike any other New England used its best place dot com for more information they have and you regret what we sweepstakes for the opportunity to women's 10000 dollar visa gift card for the Patriots place shopping -- Paul once in my lifetime experience every day I think. Every place every one yeah."

[27:01]" That's eleven acute over catering -- to -- for a hot -- not just -- very far -- together catering and give them -- I'll never forget what -- I'll let you go back."

[27:11]" Big games mean big parties beat twenty or more of your friends with a -- hot -- not sure naked burrito bar from Hugo with -- gets -- in budget friendly now with sixteen Massachusetts location -- in September a Patriot place and get more square hole -- available -- you don't -- dot com."

[27:31]" Linemen -- hundred walking -- of offensive taste of Gillette Stadium -- you're okay. People quite hold. Tackle that coincide with the Patriots gridiron Grilli tried to talk to close down -- of Patriots brought some. A wide variety of flavors. Yes there. Gridiron drillers are all you need for the perfect game go home barbecued chicken out all the Patriots gridiron great. Excellent Jets Patriots. Agent homework. Patriots. -- drillers. Brothers -- very far Johnson's Dolphins. Growers when you just can't wait for Sunday."

[28:30]" Okay this tall fighter John -- here. -- say about the game would break it year wonder what former football players talk about when we're watching the game. Well now you can find out for yourself with a game with the grates on October 5 and soulless thing. Watch the Patriots take almost forty niners in the Fidelity Investments clubhouse along with me a bunch of other plate utilized them. Guys like newly inducted hall primer Andre Tippett and Patriots hall -- pin -- Stanley Morgan's Dave Nelson Steve Grogan agreed. Tickets are limited because they're only forty dollars visit the Patriots dot com home page and click go on now for more information. We're all going to be at the game with the Braves. Where would you do it."

[29:33]" He's always see you love love lonely -- backup. Andre Tippett pro football hall of Famer I'm Bryan Morry you listening to inside the hall. You can email your question Andre -- web radio. At Patriots dot com and Andre the we talk about on the out of -- and the fans but. Getting back to more positive note on the weekend and moving forward here just put the team a little bit. I guess I want to touch on that bye week. As a plan -- yeah I can't remember when they implement it. Now too bye week to buy we got married and second by the first by -- I I would think that players. Much appreciate having that during the season it's going -- all -- Ichiro you know it entered training camp hockey just dotted. Yeah but you know you can probably. On bill."

[30:27]" And -- is he is as a coach you probably you know its going to be a positive. Can probably make an assessment and things he's got a chance to work three games are the only players in. Where everybody lineup. Mimi and changes me. Give them opportunities to reevaluate. Some things on defense -- offense. You know who knows I know it's going to be positive and -- on this point."

[30:52]" You know I think people look at the quarterback situation right now Andre in his day you know what we have to be patient I mean it's hard with a team that has high expectations. I know people try to make a comparison to 2001. And I don't think I don't mean to do that I don't want to compare. On the it's fair to compare. Matt Cassel to a guy who's -- and to be in the pro football Hall of Fame -- the end dedicated. But one compare and or one correlation I'll make 2001. The expectations. Of the team at least among with sandy when Tom Brady came in the team coming off -- eleventh season -- to it going to guard. It couldn't get anywhere. You know okay thinks they Drew is hurt but while with the you can do maybe can you'll find out that he can play. Now. -- that into a situation where last that he went eighteen and one. And they are expectations. But he thought wow I find a way. To maintain. Not that. But a certain level of the -- Yet you look at Sunday's performance -- wasn't a great performance by the quarterback. That he had struggled mean. Is how hard but that out of the ball -- they tried to like and you know what we really got that up because comes out. And maybe press a little bit maybe try to do too much maybe get out of shouldn't be trying to do a real job and -- that. I."

[32:21]" I think every player with expectations and the people expect that par. -- Every player goes into the season with an expert would you know -- contributions beat. Him. You know -- real football and student of the game. Man and Matt wouldn't be here -- you're confident. And it. Winning games and and put me in position where. You go with the -- and -- preached. His. I think. People have -- and -- too. -- Overlooked. -- kind of hooked it you know. It truly it is. Why you -- talk bow. Out. About the injuries and -- With the bye week I think that's going to give everybody an -- surprise me as. You know what in my contributing. It. Went in my. I think that's. What everybody if I was I would also I would. Look at what we did we. You know have a way of fixing things -- You know coaches have always believed coaches can -- you prepared. All through the week comes and he. Ball players and football. View of the year and Martin. Quarterback. And linebacker cornerback -- he'd be. You have to. In Europe and."

[34:17]" And coaches at every level -- talk about team on grade team team team and you know Lotta times tonight day and I -- team. The culture here. Has certainly -- that to the point that it was on the side of the first of bull ring. And everyone. You know I mean it was remarkable. How it's translated onto the field. And it wasn't just a cliche. And one of the areas I don't think covering the team. Was and from talking to players and -- Roosevelt Colvin got hearing got hurt. And he talked about. It being different here when guys get hurt. That there's no panic in the room is now all know this guy went out what are we going to do. This is an expectation. That they'll find a way to make it work that the utilized the replacement drank and adjust accordingly. With a quarterback and a great quarterback like Tom. Obviously that can be more difficult. When you come off a law like I'm in I'm in your experience not to comment on these guys thinking it. But when you come off a law like that Sunday with your quarterback out. Can take you -- how do you avoid that as a player and as a team."

[35:32]" And and then. And again you have to look at the line that in the locker room in the meeting rooms. And values that when you rally around people -- you know -- back to you don't know you'll hear a lot of people talk about depth that hard. Of those who have the sport's fabric. OK let's rally around his guy and give him all the support that we propose we -- them and hope for the best and you know now he has to be. The -- the men and you know that's like anybody else you know. That responsibility when placed on use it can be. Typical sometimes it could be something that people."

[36:19]" Along with wood prior. And oh. Hart. Marquis and home when he went like really -- comes down to eyes round and round. Authors and I'm going to that way back to the hall from minute and the fans as well I got a text from a friend of mine. -- during the game ticket holder Andre who wrote. Good thing the hall opens Monday that we can go back and remember when we were good at football and how fast they jump off but that being said. If you need a release from the team's plan and I'm not at all while you remember so when a team as good as well follow all the you know we've we've. We've gotten expectation which is fine I -- that's what -- what winning does winning."

[37:12]" Brings out. Best of people and -- to bring out the third worst in people and you know we've developed. The expectations. Mean from. Top to bottom. People that. That's a good as a very good thing you know what -- find people that are going to come. I like this it would show that you cozy and why. You know you play the game. For each other you don't know it and especially and in and football. You play for each of care really play for -- self because it's a team. Sport and you have to play for each other in you have to be here -- them. You can listen. I was I was always so -- Don't be read the papers I -- because it will you know. It'll blue turn you off and negativity and you know in doing your winning you know you you don't want to read about -- old. Umpires doing you know yes they do they do it was time that here when I was playing. That city newspaper was not allow to be in the building no clips. And so funny I. NC I was collect what then are -- eclipse. As his lab and I remembered -- years ago. And now he -- me."

[38:39]" You know what guys crazy to listen to the radio -- me because either Leon I mean I watch Sunday's game I go home. Wanna see or hear anything about it I don't put -- radio on Monday morning 'cause. Bob I gains over time to go to work today do the job and and as a Eric it would be eight games over finally got to go with today because you know that's due on Monday but what we do that -- And time to move on and and you know I know if I turn the radio on I'm going to get all worked -- because I'm going to get fired up -- this thing and other jumping off the damn. It much easier. No not a while."

[39:20]" Guys when guys weren't particularly Democrats Cutler who you wondering I mean I was no different than men and then. -- you want to read it as much as you know -- just won't read it in public Ortiz hit home -- newspapers. He get home. To Serbia."

[39:38]" Enabling guys don't read on you get the that you don't read it somebody play Andre Tippett -- the depth you know you earlier locker mate chemical or they -- about you. I think it's it's hard to avoid I think players would be better off in the long run if they avoided it. Good or bad because. You know you. It can be your ego a little bit when things are good with -- you know that it really help you that much or can certainly. Anger you quite a bit as well and I don't know I I don't -- and I think that's one of the reasons coach Belichick is the way he is. With the media because. I think you look at it as something that.
