[10:02] ..." next week. I. Think that that is a Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi. "...

[0:00]" Morning Tedy how are. -- well. Nice talk to -- I I I made the comment earlier that. That might have been the saddest 41 to seven winning locker room and history of football I have a feeling there was a lot of mixed feelings last night night in that locker room after the game."

[0:16]" Yeah -- all. You know we we're we're ecstatic about the work we're happy about that -- back -- attracted in victory in the United national media a lot of fun out there last but. You know you know Rodney or -- in the fourth in -- we realized we realize about that work last night was still happy we got the --"

[0:37]" want to talk to about Rodney to a little more you said before this this guy has a special place. In your heart. Could you just explain to people what he means to -- it anyhow. And how he got to that point where you're just look at him as a special team it."

[0:55]" Yeah I think -- Rodney and I had a special relationship in terms of we I think we joke guys there isn't terribly try to trick back. A lot of people say. You know I think it's peacekeepers some managers agree with -- and say yeah you're right you're right -- waited waited but you know there. Of people they know -- wrong this week he would he would put it work this week it did you didn't do well enough and we don't know what people. Who Horry we always wanted to push each other right it was it was -- integrated part of -- and teammate. Making everyone better around number earlier -- It's such as public leadership -- yet but it's just how aware of by example -- hard played hard work. And guys off off."

[1:44]" If you get the -- and I'm sure he did. Immediately that this was -- and this wasn't just that guy being down or did you just know. This images on go down this was a bad thing."

[1:57]" No I didn't know what he went down because. I think we've talked a moment -- down you know at least shortages -- things shake things Kapler over Torre gave up in. You're sort of what we need trainers out there but. I think it's not Nolan -- with a diagnosis is or what what what what. The doctors as they -- it would -- idea how to break the -- like that --"

[2:24]" He looked like he was waving divide everybody is they took him off."

[2:31]" I want I want to talk to write about that if if you talked to him in and and he. If you -- that goes that I was I was sure to run out there. And you know check you know how to do it -- it would it would and I think. I think. Just refused -- it's about which saw the cart what were rotten here are -- was reacting I think I think. It out."

[2:58]" you know -- I was thinking about that and not with the Rodney situation but when when -- Award was talking about renewing his vows in the at. Logan Mankins there one of the people came to that it was ceremony. A guy from a different position -- made it easy for defensive linemen hang out with defensive lineman but we have another position group. -- going to something that's important to you is it tells you that this is beyond football and isn't it isn't it something or. It's it's pretty rare what you say when a guy. Is when you have a relationship that goes beyond football -- it seems like. That's the case with you know Ty Warren and and Logan Mankins and -- like that's the case with you would Rodney that this is this does not just they. A football relationship he's my teammate is that accurate to --"

[3:52]" Yet -- that there are very accurate in my colon is. You have there a lot of people about a lot of common bond over -- few years. The I think even in in workplaces throughout July if you have friends and coworkers -- my coworkers you know he's my agent. And things like that yeah. If you're on the about -- for always after what you were equipped with there's there's only there's only natural that you called lifelong where. And -- 1 Rodney Harrison will be desperately. Talk about the talk about playing golf in mind in Atlanta in hand it's been together. Because what did you this -- to talk about Palestinian earlier a lot of things. You know -- you don't you don't talk about those trends in. Just hope particularly. All your your life experiences that you take a -- that you take if you wish -- that it's called lifelong friends in. Definitely. -- they're never beat me."

[4:50]" Back to the topic at hand in the game last night was that the defensive effort. Start to finish that your team's been looking for all year."

[4:59]" Again. If we're looking foremost we were those big plays those turnovers that interception by Meriweather assault are well that's about horrible that mailed James Sanders that that in front of that interception. Late in the game. You know big players like that that's what you want to do we want as a defense. -- you want to get preannounce want to force in the part of what you go apartment beyond its way he really helped your off he helped put him advantageous positions. Yeah yeah of the offense. Offense -- economic front but then we get the ball right back. And if you sense that become my back on the field and I don't leadoff it's gaining momentum in gaining more momentum that yeah that these dances on the field. And -- wear down a little bit what Uga got an offensive line and running backs that were you essentially. If he's 760 yards with everyone."

[5:50]" A lot of guys talked about practice. Last week and how successful it was how much energy was that that practice. Do you share that that sentiment that you feel like this was a special practice last week. Or especially practices."

[6:04]" We had a good we we had a great week actually and that went -- cut. Yes guys were happy to be back to our facility happy to be back to. No. We oh wait oh oral practice. You know because it worked -- below -- of the eleventh it -- who were out -- California. Come back -- practice. Have a that we was important that the but. You know are more important was carrying it over to Monday night because. We've had great weeks but practiced well we've got out there. And we've had terrible weeks of practice where we've got out there want so. Well we wanted to do was transferred over really okay that we made -- to talk amongst ourselves we had a great week this week. Let's make it -- week where we carry over in. Sure it hasn't been the ads in the energy at all this week carry over when they actually do that from the very very start in. I think that was stupid as some of their games started I think we have more energy in the Broncos if we're in and there was a lot of energy and enthusiasm out there and well we've got to do. We gotta do it again next week. We that we got to have a great practice Wednesday Thursday Friday and do it again he says if we want to be one of those teams that are good again this year we've got to establish consistent."

[7:22]" Do you ever remember your team that that you've been a part of having an awful week of practice and going out playing well on the weekend."

[7:30]" Pitcher but it's going to happen. -- tepid short and it. It's a pleasure walkway that -- you don't try to elect and it. I don't know without. I don't know out of opinion if that means on Saturday he -- you know day in and how many times has has -- Talk about it RQ you know we just. Of course this week we just went out there. You know those old cliche the ball bounced our way of the call but all this stuff all the that we won the game that we put but no we weren't so. -- sometimes that happens you know where I think that that's all you have to really focus on that -- professional I don't I don't want to talk all the kids out there impact that the matter. But you know it doesn't matter but sometimes that's special about you know for the bad practiced but did you. It's still focused on the task and apparently it's still get that they have but that's not what we want to do. Now what we want to do we don't want out of that we practice in and hopefully we can turn out on Sunday but. Sometimes you don't practiced very well. Well that last week but Gordon."

[8:34]" I don't know Uga --"

[8:36]" The Brad -- but actually what adequately -- fact that we were carried out over and that's that's the quintessential waiting once a week ago. Don't let that happen like that every week know that there we're trying to do that again and again and again."

[8:48]" I was -- ask you if you ever if you've ever done that. Before Super Bowl ever had a bad week of practices. Every you've won three titles I can't imagine. You had a bad week that we -- practices against the Rams are against the Panthers and went out one game anyway."

[9:04]" Now what I -- There's sort of a different energy and enthusiasm when -- the playoffs in itself you know and that's when. That's and everyone's on their their their highest of highs and in everyone's. Focused attentive everything and everything was right at what is great ago. But -- I like it went as yeah that he is a marathon. Sometimes though those we get -- break you know."

[9:30]" Absolutely not a marathon and -- and we -- it we got it. Very very nicely done just an. Act as a thousand not want to break -- news here that. With Eddie's team you would be one of the runners on -- we've got to get going to run April 2009."

[9:50]" My training effect numbers but he definitely. They've whatnot that pretty well I'm out."

[9:59]" we always appreciate the time congratulations on yesterday able -- next week. I. Think that that is a Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi. "
