[1:21]" JT O'Sullivan or running things -- for the 49ers though. That's kind of an interest in story and I'm sure of the week as we touched on last week a little bit that'll touch on a more more. Well over the course this week organized or two into after the loss New Orleans this past Sunday while the Patriots of course had Sunday off. And tomorrow show will certainly be going to go didn't put up there right now is Marshall or villa on Randy cross from my NFL. From the CBS and of course he does the Patriots football games. Pre season games on the television as well. The Patriots network. He will be joining us two more former 49ers will. Get him in here and get his thoughts on what is transpired to. These four weeks now that we have head during the course of the regular season. I a couple of things are the top obviously we'll talk a bit about Lane Kiffin and his firing. From the Oakland Raiders future Patriot opponent might add course in December. There is a -- a piece out on. Pro football talk dot com. In forgive me because I can handle him but he mentioned that said during -- PFW progress today but the thing is I always check him before the show starts. This just was posted approximately a 45 minutes ago fifty minutes ago. Unprovable -- that Tom Brady has chosen urgent to repair his injured left knee and he's expected to have the surgery in Los Angeles. Not here in Massachusetts. Not in Boston not in Foxborough. Not Rhode Island not in New England. All the Boston Globe is actually reporting this and a acted upon appeal of the Boston Globe is reporting that Brady is on tractor and the procedure for weeks after the injury which we actually have until a new. On here on the program is going to take about four weeks for him to have the surgery. And it looks like he is -- or for that four weeks of the injury which occurred of course on September 7. Reportedly -- and MCL doctors usually wait for the end he'll he'll. Before the preformed the surgery on the base steal swelling. Down the doctor that Brady has chosen is doctored deal. -- Trash. I think that the curl and Jobe orthopedic clinic in Los Angeles which relies that Tom being from their habits probably like he's going old clothes home here. This doctor wrote the book currently literally wrote the book on surgical techniques in sports medicine so -- ago. He's picked a doctor won't be here it'll be someplace else they'll be Los Angeles but at least he's on track to have the surgery. And will keep you posted them you know from around. Time to time as the situation warrants but he anytime there is news we know there's obvious interest in that news you know might not necessarily be on the football field. And will bring you up to date on the so long to find themselves. Boarded this weekend but I mean. Be honest. I mean certainly. This certainly -- game. Balm. The other thing that I miss. Was. Just. Good way to put. On. Emotion calm. -- It. Being able to get into this little bit more meaning as we know that whatever the Patriots group like. Although in the bye week the and you you certainly -- vested interest in the action that happens on the field. Just obviously. The -- and all like that. Just didn't have the quite and you know get -- now. I my time try to watch much you know future opponents' -- that could watch all the Buffalo game. Two in the Buffalo game all that unfortunately the wrong time it was fourteen. 1413. Rams were leading. What I kind of -- back and forth and Adam. Honestly. It's I guess we almost now because the of bills. Put Tillman and a winning going away at the end. That lost course obviously led to yesterday's news that does Scott Linehan going to be out Jim as it was coming and replace him. As head coach of the Rams so in the course of the news that link open. Eyes of fired today which is -- their story and I'll tell you about it just a tuning in it just minute but them. Two future Patriots opponents now that have both. Changed coach remove one coach for another. I'm sure remember the last time that happened and we've had in the -- and firing before. But for two in season -- and both of those teams. To -- future opponents on the Patriots schedule. Ever stop and wonder how that might affect preparation. Is coach to have their own styles and their own ways of doing things you can't really changed personnel obviously. But it's certainly. Means there's gotta be I would think a little extra. Study put him. What comes from the Rams in the later this year when it comes time for the Raiders. Because coaches -- coach to tendencies. -- in certain groupings and plays that -- call and and what have you not only be have to study what. Those two teams have done to this point in time when they write -- prior to making their change. But then you have to study what they're going to do from that point in time and in addition you've got to study what coaches. Do. Now if there is. They -- coaches. Do it and who knows at this stage of the game after that we went through last year with a video libraries around here. Each year as a Patriot you'd be looking at Jim has in his. Techniques. You may not be able to look at anything with the Raiders are concerned is quite frankly there is no particular. Replacement named yet for the Raiders I don't know who in the right mind would. I don't know when the right mind would take their job. Except for. Taking it just like Lane Kiffin took it. He's young he's energetic he wants a shot at me and ahead guy and even though he knew that he was destined for failure he still wanted to chance littered on his -- Our home would be interesting to hear what he might have to say in the next couple weeks. How he felt the experience wins especially. Especially when you consider. The arrest of the story is Paul Harvey usually says let me tell you the rest of the story. Al Davis. Called him. This morning. Actually would have been right after noon time have been about a couple of hours ago now -- time. Not only fired him over the phone but fired him without pay according to teams or. Now I don't know how in the heck. Al Davis feels like he'd get all that I I'm not privy to late -- contract. Contractual situation how we took the job. I don't know but I cannot imagine anybody in their right mind signing a contract binding them to one person or one entity. And then if you were in fibers on the other then cause Edward's to a and that really really bad. You're expected to being paid the majority of the contract. The rest of contract that you have coming to."
[9:08]" I mean in if -- Lane Kiffin. You had to know that the footsteps were coming right. So certainly he's had attorney and agent whatever. Look over this contract to find out hey all right if I'm fired here in mid eighties and obviously I'm in good working again for the rest of this year. Soul and I still going to be able to cash paycheck."
[9:30]" Now I'm not sure where blow the whole -- thing comes into play. Is just bomb. I guess it boils down to a difference of opinion. Based on what I've read it and in what we know that there was a relationship. A fraction. Fracture should make between Kiffin and Davis. Bomb. We end Kiffin tried to fire former Patriots defense coach and the current defense scored and rob Ryan after last season was over."
[10:10]" Apparently. -- in the suggested that Davis that. Davis had reneged on an agreement between the two that the coach would have control over his own half. -- coaches have control over their own staffs. Maybe others and Davis that apparently had a letter of resignation for -- to -- And Kiffin didn't do that."
[10:34]" Given apparently oppose some of the free agent signings like Javon Walker in the Angelo hall. He'll want public expressions of frustration. That the team was and -- have been claiming the free agent. And then according to Raiders source is -- apparently in a letter to Kiffin after the season opening game the loss to Denver trying to document. That the coach approved it. These offseason acquisitions I guess there's gotta be ours we let them language in the contract. But Davis apparently feels he can and super -- in order to keep from having to say lane to. Now. I don't know what that would come surprise anybody because Al Davis obviously he's fought the NFL. And he's beaten the and well. After all how could he go from Oakland to Los Angeles backed Oakland again. Apparently as somewhat F effortless looking as as he has done throughout his ten year is Raiders owner. So I'm sure he feels like hey I can beat the NFL in in in the in the court. I can certainly -- kittens but. I don't know if this is. The height of hubris. Or just pure stupidity or the ability has finally -- in. Or Lane Kiffin is really -- on the deal that he signed don't know. Maybe this will all come out a wash over the next few days. Maybe it will never come out. -- I don't know but I I have to admit. I don't know how in organization. Can be competitive on the field was so much turmoil. Going on. Within roiling within as it is. It's it's amazing. And their appearance in Super Bowl thirty what was it 37. Six years now since they've -- editors assume they've gone through four coaches. They have Evan road wins total. In those six seasons and their winning percentage. Is but 24%. That it's -- it's being AFC champion. And losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 37 and between the two Patriots -- obviously. Between a one -- 3. This team. Hazards. -- coaches. Point 4% when it presented seven road wins in six years. I I I that's just unfathomable. How does something go. That far out that quickly. Raiders -- one in three on the season thus far they have blown leads in the fourth quarter in two of those three losses. They had lead in the fourth quarter over the bills. Obviously and they and in fact the last Sunday as well over the San Diego Chargers. In fact here's the ones that that's tells me that is not not necessarily Kiffin fault here. Maybe a little tweaking needs to -- but -- personnel wise or even coaching. But in Kiffin twenty game tenure as head coach the Raiders were mere five and this team. But in those twenty games the Raiders took leads into the fourth quarter eleven. Times. So they lacked. The ability to finish. I don't know that. On the head coaches did put a calm. Just an an interesting. Perspective. Interest in perspective so when he was hired as head coach he was the NFL's youngest coach 31 years old. Back in there were most of an almost two years ago. He was hired straight from USC at the count where he was the offensive coordinator at the time. While there obviously is well known defensive coordinator in -- in NFL circles but system. Interest in -- interesting story. Leading sort of the leading candidate by the would replace him is not rob Bryant even know he was believed to one of the three -- being considered. There was some talk that in fact this was even publicized by Kiffin. Someone is being a little bit disgruntled in the public appearance -- I don't follow it going basically around -- and that. That like rob Ryan might even be stabbed him in the back of undermining his ability to become an active head coach I -- Cox and nasty situation. On Comcast cable. Is teams all the line coach and apparently. Apparently cable. According Morton but he is -- here apparently cable is emerging as the leading candidate to replace skip. Com. There were other candidates Greg Knapp who's -- consultant Paul Hackett. Was one of those and I guess Ryan may not even be on the list here according to more refined very strange and just completely. Unexplainable. -- pretty bad actually Angela too much further -- though it pretty interest. But Al Davis doesn't want to pay that guy. I just I I and that. Rather remarkable so -- and see what kind of verdict comes out in his contract on as the situation plays itself again houses but -- well as -- mentioned earlier. Bulk of the article coaching changes that have happened. Over the last 24 hours involved future Patriot opponent this year which means -- end up have a -- a little extra homework outlined in preparation. For the Rams and later the Raiders doesn't really affect them much this week and -- San Francisco. On but it Bears watching and Torre were looking at him because one of the things we do here in the playbook is trying to also take a little bit of a big picture point of view. And look on down the line to future opponent future happenings -- future than that. Out could directly or indirectly affect New England so they certainly is going to directly. Affect -- On what other things that I want to bring up concerning the future opponent has to do those ramps. And because when they replaced. Jim has -- the only replaced them. Down. Roger has in his head coach replacing -- The worst move he made -- or a lot of what you may have read this over the course last week on there was a lot of hello tightening. On and I guess displeasure coming from the Rams locker room for the replacement for the change all that -- and made a quarterback in bringing in. Trent Green as the starter replacing Marc Bulger admittedly Bulger head. Not done terribly well bubbled was also getting pounded number of -- by the Rams a lot of players felt like was not Bolger fault. And that Trent green's. Like a better phrase didn't really deserve the opportunity well. For whatever reason -- one of his first moves as a coach the Rams are now reinstated. Marc Bulger as St. Louis starting quarterback. What that means Bulger was back with the starters today -- practice. Maybe it's the fact that he's the highest paid player franchises I don't know. But anyway. Oh former defensive coordinator -- now head coach is reinstated Marc Bulger is rams' starting quarterbacks. -- the latest news going on about. Patriots future opponent on the line arm. I have to admit I don't necessarily have a definitive question of the day today. The reason that I do not is because coming off a bye week. To me there's a lot of different areas that we can go lot of little ways we go without trying to focus on one particular area. I'm kind of asking you. What is on your mind at this team what concerns you right now on this day. On the final day of the month of September 2008 what concerns you the most about the team at it again. Is the -- is Cassell. -- an injury. Is there in consisting in the -- line. It's the overall age of the defense would certainly should be recurring theme from members of the national media. What is. What bothers you about this thing."
[19:03]" After the yeah the four weeks now the team to a one which I talked a little about this last week. And how I've thought that after three weeks I thought this team would -- two and one. And yet nobody feels like this Patriots team is on schedule."
[19:19]" The -- you feel like this team is on schedule we're on schedule for. Now if Tom Brady the quarterback would all be very upset was being 21 there's no doubt. But in light of the fact that he went down in week one. We've all reevaluated where we think this team is now and where it can go everybody's reevaluate. You've got I'm sure you've gone to the schedule and done win lose win win lose lute you've done it just like everybody has done. And you figured out all of that used to be when it may not be now. So everybody has a different. Standard. For this team to live up to. Over this team. To reach the standard that you. Have set or it. What they needed it. Where's the problem. Whereas the trouble where's the weak link. That's good way to freeze it maybe it -- just talking about he would come up with a question initially ordered it is kind of opened up what you thought. But actually it's pretty good where's the weak link this Patriots team right now what what is the weak link and how can the team. Fix via web radio at Patriots dot com.

Elected just to miss out right things that older and media outlets. -- one however caught my attention. This was Sunday afternoon. And after in particular. And I have to admit I haven't given it some thought over the course last day or so and I want to know what you gotta give an inning credibility. I'm talking in particular about how the Arizona Cardinals they'd -- During their well last couple wins and on the on the -- post game show. Called OT Jimmie Johnson was in particular critical of all the it's not and Jimmie Johnson was in particular critical. Although the Cardinals decision to -- east. And does that vision is gone back home and obviously they lost both of the games. In light of the fact that -- like Jimmie Johnson and the others on the panel. Basically. It it was a stupid thing for the Cardinals to do and I'm kind of paraphrasing here but if you thought -- want to talk about arm. I think about the Patriots doing that very thing. How do you feel about the Patriot doing that everything staying west. Actually. And the plan is to you know leave later this week play the game is Andrew Sisco then work out. And basically headquarter in San Jose from my understanding. And -- then follow that up with a game in San Diego before coming back home -- state west for two weeks. I also heard.

I'll get rated news on the like that I'm not aware that it terribly. Six that's bull. Decision for teams in the decide to do something like that."
[29:19]" Well let's look at this -- used to makes sense. You know who I'm sure -- the other team is quick you don't want to fly cross country. You know twice within a week I think it could -- Romeo. The caliber of the team. You can't really compare the Patriots. The Cardinals to the Patriots as they got there there track record the franchise that I I would think that pitchers seem much more.

Basically lambasted the the Cardinals decision to do that the guy that was kind of stupid in a -- cost them chances to win and in what have you I guess maybe that would just.
