[0:39]" We have our own in house if people thought he couldn't -- will -- yeah Brian Lara."

[0:44]" That's been your -- employer I had an apartment on Bennett he goes down. -- Bryant --"

[0:53]" And thank you very much for -- to defeat the lowdown radio show here on Patriots dot com radio my name is Brian -- We're entering week eight of the NFL season or -- I like to call -- week one. The big Jarvis Green Ellis Aaron and yes of talking about fantasy football here. But then Jarvis Green Ellis aren't as aren't we look at it that the Patriots running back situation is hot topic each and every week but this week one of the great names. I think. In NFL history. They get the bulk of the load and for game. Unbelievable -- On -- we will definitely get into that not completely tuning their by the way. But it definitely is greeted at an indictment halfway point of your standard football life and go from fort regular week. So hopefully you're still in contention annually and hopefully you know mark that I -- contention -- your keeper league you have an opportunity yet. -- date for next year but it -- to think in those terms everybody still alive right. Raise your hand if you're not. Market -- great I am in my two leagues very much alive one of them 12 place another one them and close -- admitted middle the pack but not too bad on them last. We're going to get into a lot of topics -- a long -- right here about topics -- want to get one load out rate your oval we definitely want your view. As always web radio a Patriots dot com email address this year. Question to start who'd hit and died in the L that you might have in mind that comes in football. Vent if you need to about them that picture made interviewed about the suggestions I acres as most most of you know you've been listening. On the I'm not yet great track record you know I take that added -- Who among this really does know a lot for sure what's going to happen to doubt. On especially this year actually gunning out teams and players that I'd -- the perception that they hadn't. Happened that each and every week. On below doorbell at all I would try to have fun and I help yucky elves a forum to what -- football if you follow Patriot and followed yeah. A radio -- putrid docomo you can call and I'm await. Five or 37 or eight to we've got a couple emails already in the inbox gets those are pretty soon. And and they -- and talk about who's on who's not who's not in football. -- we generally like you -- kicked things off with a quick look."

[3:16]" Back at the previous week and who's on the top stars -- position and a hopefully ads and these guys in depth you know our quarterback and -- you know write your narrow backyard Newcastle what if a player of the week he had no one -- better performances probably that performance. To date with -- trio of touchdowns the first time he's done that in his career. And -- he was actually -- were not the only NFL quarterback that week. Step three touchdown pass in the game he did that without throwing an action -- that -- out of the football perspective as long. -- don't car count in your league that you were definitely happy with Matt Cassel. And job watch quarterbacks that threw touchdown pass Kyle Orton threw two without an interception. That Roethlisberger -- job Jake DelHomme. On an -- guy Gus brought recruited two touchdown pass from go to but -- in interceptions and allot to Chicago. And boy. If that doesn't down itself out I don't know what does -- Rivers with a pair of touchdown passes. I as well and I are 300 yard game Jeff Garcia 300 yard -- and a touchdown. He was a high yardage guy on the day and a bunch of other upper 200 -- heading into it in 95 yard touchdown. And a pick. -- Orlovsky in each one it won't get to 265. Yards on the day on but it was on a hole fairly young miserable performance for. A lot in the wind helped out just buying -- ninety yard touchdown pass Calvin Johnson okay. It count it appears it doesn't count but on on -- like you know not looking too good for a lot -- looking at running back on now performances mean this is what we're talking about. I think with a better performances all season came in -- I even Jack deputy head of the yacht called their hundred yards and three touchdowns to the Patriots run defense has there were confident this week. Even Jackson coming out in Jackson really and now he is questionable but mine. -- certainly wanting to monitor but -- tell -- what for weeks that he was the lead guy LenDale White. Right there with and three touchdowns a 149. Yards. And benefit pamphlet guys that a hundred plus yards and two touchdowns Mewelde Moore stepped in that -- Adrian Peterson of course we know what you can do with Minnesota Chris John with 1068. Yards in port a 175. -- had Thomas Jones of the -- 159 yards. He did not the end zone and up much rather a running back. Reach the end zone ones including any more important to him -- a career high rushing yardage day on Monday night. Inning go out an injury so -- really. The emotions. Run wild you have a remark you really were wrote that first half performance and then hey where are you -- ago. Nowhere to be found in the second half. Okay at wide receiver a couple more out really big games led by Calvin Johnson -- two catches on 11 of -- nine yard touchdown that really makes all the difference a 154 yards. And a touchdown for him at the Carolina is one of the better just in performance that. Wide receiver 122 yards and catch Antonio Bryant with a 115 yards and attached. Andre Johnson led the way as far as a hundred yard receivers who -- the end zone he had a hundred and."

[6:26]" 41. And then right here in our backyard. Randy Moss -- touchdown receptions only 69 yards but had yet to touchdowns on the they'll take two yards and two touchdowns. If your league yeah -- Go by a touchdown. Number point for touchdown I tight end Owen Daniels a pair of touchdowns for and against Detroit. Six yards on the data high yardage guy at tight and 97 yards Tony Gonzales. Of the -- there's a quick look back. And we number seven in recovery on the docket Riyadh. Got a full slate of games of course still and -- we only have three more weeks I believe and -- we so you can settle back into knowing that your full roster. LB -- you guys are healthy will play that's very important out of five this week Chicago Denver Green Bay and Minnesota a little bit of that. NFC EI -- feel to -- you have on -- C north team a player from an indoor team other than Detroit. -- looking at a -- in Denver as well and out very interesting Monday night game coming up Indianapolis at Tennessee will talk about that want. And -- right -- it was a New England has obviously mania and he you know story lines as well. We'll talk about that web radio -- Patriots dot com is email address. That's where you can send an email me and we'll talk about a right here on the air were here every Thursday from four to five and then. Broadcast again from nine to 10 Patriots dot com -- he can also check out -- down segment. -- Patriot today which is our daily show your Patriots stuck on every Thursday. -- got a little -- segment as well and you can check that out. A couple of story lines and a couple of lies -- topic that I want to get to on it certainly has struck me on how many running back replacement. On you know you can kind of find on the waiver wire and I sort of joking about that Jarvis Green Ellis kicked off the show few minutes ago. On he stepped in for anymore you know down in the second half on Monday -- end -- how the game was -- I would there was out of hand at the second at the start of the second half but it quickly got that way and you know if if it was much closer to need to Spock would've been even more involved and it was or where you can give you have a chance but."

[8:32]" And Jarvis Green -- rookie undrafted rookie at the shot. And -- with the game being a Monday night I -- you know you immediately. You know he turns attention to the upcoming games so all on Tuesday which is the player they often and you know before you noted Wednesday the first day of the week. As -- the Africans are where you get down in thirty practice and look ahead to the upcoming game and as of right now. Manager Green-Ellis. Kevin Faulk and Heath Evans are -- running back on the Patriots roster it was a a position training camp that was. Hadn't quite a bit adapt -- more than any other position. You know a position where the Patriots have in the past you know jumped into the scrap heap and found a guy off of life. Off the waiver wire him thinking about Heath Evans and even in the fairway a couple of years ago jumping and end up on a team with an offense like this especially when Tom Brady it was around. If a guy's going to jump any one game that -- via a possibility for cheaper from a point of view. So going into the game against St. -- As of right now it looks like -- Jarvis Green Ellis might be the guy. Heath Evans -- his moments in the past including right in the 2005 his first couple games he was the lead back. Filling for injured Corey Dillon really and did okay. As far as yardage goes and -- you -- need be get more chance. You know Kevin Faulk is he healthy which -- right now is going to get his touches probably somewhere in the you know eight range and on a normal like game may be more like. -- too well on. If they don't have a lead back but you've seen in March not practiced yet this week LaMont Jordan practiced yet this week happened pick anyone up off the waiver wire so you've got to. Your -- Jarvis Green Ellis. Is significant -- if you need a back up in -- replay it. I feel -- this week it's sort of -- double -- he would object because it's so improbable for a guy who is an undrafted free agents. I -- had a much depth that and act. To the you don't need that starter but. You know. It could happen Willie -- all -- like it Lewis has a very important very poor run defense even in the last couple weeks. Where they've won game -- against Washington. In Dallas is still giving up a ton of rushing yardage in -- you know I have to deal I have to figure that. They're going to give up a lot of rushing yards this Sunday against the Patriots. Regardless of who carries the ball. -- you know do you pick up and Jarvis Green L today and monitor the situation until morning do you like right into a starting role -- I I'd hesitate to do that. The you've gotta keep an -- on it and you know from what he's shown so far. Like maybe he could play now -- he picked them up a draft you know. International 32 teams down you know -- this on him but strange things have happened -- you look at last year even at this point last year. I think we still didn't really even know -- why he was a guy who was on the giants' practice squad the last year. Did picked up by Green Day and and easy as really a round draft pick in most in league this year. -- could end Jarvis Green Ellis beat a guy. -- worth picking him up and you know anymore. Too bad because you really show that he Padilla -- performer based on what you did the other day I just hours after Laurence Maroney officially goes out for the year. On -- and I -- bench are great but he is the most interesting guy on certainly from a Patriots perspective. A few other guys that you know at at the right back position of separating the well being more. Always a veteran he's. Proper couple years Minnesota's while he jumps in Pittsburgh with Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall both out it is a monster game. Dominic Rhodes Dominic Rhodes for Indianapolis and other veterans you know it's not to worry about a rookie learning the playbook here. Dominic grow -- for Joseph Addai has two touchdown Ryan's you know something yards for Indianapolis. I'm in your -- look at a guy like get injured -- it would not getting it basically as far as I'm concerned at this point. You can do are worse when they'll -- on the NFL. I mean the guy who's going to be the starting running back or projected to get the most carries for a certain team and go with him. I even think -- might be guy you want to consider you'd ever know maybe a couple of carries you know Larry Johnson going to be out again. You mentioned -- There's guys out here at running -- you find out if you do your homework and you find out that the guy is going to get more carries because and other players hurt. Or and it indicates the Kansas City chief. You know running back is if you look at as our quarterback I think it not quite the -- and he's definitely been quarterback replacements who have not performed really well on talking about Michael Wallace. Talk about the law you talk about -- that they've had their moments but he really moral and the guy that you have to lot of quarterbacks have gone down. You know -- league that is the quarterback or maybe -- league where you start quarterback I don't know you may have to -- some of these guys in a natural law."

[13:33]" He had a ninety yard touchdown pass in the second half the other day -- not Houston. And doubted that his numbers were worked fairly -- but he -- that -- and he does well but I'm a writer Patrick has looked all that great but. You know he's got weapons and Cincinnati that team has been terrible but you know you never know I just feel like with running back a much better risk to take take -- about Jarvis Green Ellis. On did you do act quarterback. Those are -- spot I had if you want to responder who want to he'd bring up your perspective. Web radio at Patriots dot com that the way to find -- on a couple of newsworthy items before -- our first break the -- Tony Romo while we talked about him Atlantic last week by right around the time of Marshall last week we find out that he might actually play. This past Sunday with his pinky finger but we. You know we realized okay he's been back up now -- we -- at that he's not play on until mid November right at the earliest he's out until November so. I'm Brad Johnson you gotta gotta run with him and he did not perform well again it was the other day but you never know. -- size he's -- it you know it'd better opportunity this week. I'm Larry Johnson I mention he is not going to -- he -- by the Kansas City you don't know LJ this week and no Kellen Winslow is well he. He tried to appeal his suspension on it not going to be heard before this week so he won't play for Cleveland's Steve Heiden and I -- the -- of bearing -- he had now only one catch last week so I wouldn't early reliant him and then another one on its side just a little while ago what corporate hospitalized. With a neck injury. He's a guy who you're really EI. Just a wild card every week he's one of the more talented wide receivers -- he has a big game. You know -- the worry about camp like. You know doesn't look like Tyler -- you're -- hospitalized on Thursday that doesn't really bode well we took the Patriots are practiced participation in in reports that has just been updated their practice this afternoon once again anymore. Did not participate in practice on that two straight days of the money nineteen with his knee injury he didn't practice and also noted that position LaMont Jordan didn't practice again today. On the it was doubtful going into the game on Sunday and didn't play so really. As we get further and further and further through the week leading up to Sunday. All indications are that and Jarvis Green Ellis Kevin Faulk and Heath Evans will be the only three running back on the Patriots active roster. And don't the only -- Number what -- running back and second down running back as of right now. I -- has been Jarvis Green Ellis it's a very interesting situation now we also often -- it was rams' Steven Jackson for the second straight day did not participate. Very interesting out of -- injury that's very interesting from Tennessee and NFL perspective. As we get into Sunday's game between the Patriots in the rain this is the -- lowdown radio show web radio Patriots dot com if you liked it checked in with your -- start go to it or other thought. We will be right back after the."

[17:14]" Eleven acute over catering had a pizza -- or hot potato nuts or make it very far from together catering and give them -- never forget -- get I'll let you go back."

[18:48]" Making another run it. And MLS cup championship -- I don't push it to a stadium with the Budweiser quest for the cup. But once -- quest for the cup back to beat. And a pair of -- revolution. But what's your quest for the cup to. -- actually just 38 dollars to get a reds match and you'll take home imagine your revolution played glasses yeah. Tell -- what -- about seven get -- a lot of good."

[19:23]" Information everything else New England Revolution yeah."

[19:48]" That's the fantasy -- radio show we just talked about the injury report for the Patriots in the St. Louis Rams and we follow up on the Stephen Jackson information and again. Not that he's been ruled out quite yet he won it was -- travel to Foxborough on Saturday but. He doesn't play well who's behind him on -- it was -- It's a quick question because as you look at as the Louis Rams that I'm going through this year it. I I haven't done this it differently but I think even Jackson has. The high percentage of carries for his team than any other player he probably asked to be -- 121. -- 145. Carries on and health of those 24 other exit them by the quarterback. So it's very interesting now the other guys who you've got to figure getting them the most watching as will be Travis Minor. Antonio Pittman and Ken Darby. You're saying well how how much help does that do for a I gotta tell you I don't like any of those options and the worst part about it is all indications would be that they can't let them. Now you're looking for on your Jackson owner you're looking at you know take up all year. On -- income with that -- Jackson in would be behind him. Going into Sunday's game though not a great scenario if you look at -- it was -- back up running back. To replace even Jackson but that's the world again I'm not in Jackson won't play but did not participate in practice for the second straight -- Lewis. It in and -- won -- you -- objects. Patriots web radio at Patriots dot com that is our email address as always your emails early and often we will get them we are right now today with Chris and here's what she -- need help with -- wide receivers. I currently have been Jackson not that Devery Henderson. Chris Chambers hurt and Robert Meachem. Not sure chambers is playing but -- option to each of the -- top notch or chambers is playing but as an option to Meachem. The Chargers more likely to go -- he's he's available as a free agent also available at the giant Roscoe Parrish of the bill thanks for yeah. Okay Christine it would help you out here she has been -- like Camelot. Devery Henderson the best part about him is a quarterback throwing to him but with these ain't done sort of."

[22:06]" They've had all sort of five situations where wide receiver market called him. Opting out for awhile more in David Patten had -- a moment to shine in each of his wealth Devery Henderson you know I think yeah -- you know he has value for short. I don't know if I want to remind him week after week and at this week as as ain't going to lie one didn't. The play Diego I didn't play right there with put down you know Henderson. And you could do better Chris Chambers has been hurt now as you sang you know -- at your options and ending Malcom Floyd Steve Schmidt the Roscoe Parrish. -- go in that order if I was looking for Malcolm what I think you could do a lot worse on exploiting Vincent Jackson are the one and two guys. It would need to out sorry with that chambers out chambers hasn't ruled out yet this week but now Florida's daddy you could the -- I like he met a lot or not -- but you at the Carolina obviously with the Carolina. And he's not a field beat. I'm Italy if he's available at. But it of the Giants is definitely got -- what depth especially if -- use of I go birds being hospitalized. Materializes into him not playing. A guy like Smith got to -- hicks and those guys going to want to look to with a giant eyes you line Manning targets and as hard Roscoe Parrish. You know he's he's not a high option Trent Edwards is a good quarterback and they're finding different guys like. You know I wouldn't be too high on him quite yet they're going down to Miami I think that might be tough place that the play on for him to play. Lee Evans has had his moment and I think he could do well but as far as the bills wide receivers I'd Evans -- I don't think this is the week. Aram I'd probably go Lloyd I think if you -- Jack and I'm not a huge fan of starting Ku wide receivers from the same game just never know what they're going to run into a team that. Our defense that you know has -- eyes on on the you know wide receivers decade but. You know in England I -- in Diego. I'm sorry against New Orleans I think that would be the worst I'd bet on but -- might vault up on that list. And I certainly if Plaxico Burress doesn't play only Yorker you need to help -- they're -- we did and I wish you luck as you while wade through that. Wide receiver to -- Paul in London England -- all I I I hope being a football fan you -- team and a healthy and you are that. Maybe he'll taken a mock action at Wembley Stadium this weekend if you did as well I'll let you know what you thought you went last year and I would love to hear from -- had an era and this weekend. But in the meantime will will take your thoughts on for this week to check every week we appreciate it. Big -- my three Patriots in the two running backs last week for shore Paul. -- Moss and Welker and -- I'm happy with my squad this week adopt a lot in the team argues what he's got a cornerback Jason Campbell."

[24:53]" Who he as bold color in Brady on the job is available as well very high job and you know jay color I wouldn't worry about him yet he does -- that. Finger injury that -- affected him the other day. I -- Patriots but it will be doing very well I expect him to be not a not a superstar each and every week but you know job I'd I'd look at look at. A running back Brandon Jacobs Chris Johnson. And -- was like Mewelde Seymour expect you've got good depth they're like that a lot -- Johnson it would be you're two guys each and every week I would imagine but you know you have to start well be more last week he did okay mix that in. Don't -- not not not getting done right now but hang on to a Moss Welker Larry Fitzgerald. And -- Jack and I believe it -- not remember regularly at last and there are. Paul but if you do start three either way I think Moss Welker Fitzgerald the guys at tight -- And -- always -- he's in the pool with that means he's available in free agency. You know in what did I gotta have a in depth and it's Chris -- No volatile guy at a guy but on the whole he's one of the top I didn't guys. And at a kickers in the house -- replacing -- the move I gotta say it does he's going to want Google like that. And idea that the Buccaneers but the Eagles and Patriots a lot of others are available health gotta go with the matchup there. Tampa Bay this week at Dallas on without Brad Johnson ran the show I I would go with the boxed. I'm Patriots against him Lewis if you can pick them up and even Jackson does like. I shortly be having the Patriots defense and -- is that Eagles -- aren't. They played all they host Atlanta. Apparently has been much better at home on the road. So keep that in mind and a Paul says if I went I should go to pop in my head to head at least -- help is needed keep up the great help below. I don't know how much great help I've been up all over the last couple weeks and try my best but. Man I don't know much about that but with that you project and Paul as always. And yeah this isn't an email but we do have. Our main man in the end -- in the studio and out the and a great you you know last week that -- talked year two weeks ago I don't. -- here you're you know your your original laugh you know while -- it's been awhile. -- and yeah it is a busy guy you know we try to try to get him in for a couple like couple minutes each week. The music first time football player look at perspective I think he's going -- in the couple you know it."

[27:21]" It's been going well I and I had a couple of injuries. My players Reggie Bush and her school as me that was a good Chris Chambers has been -- up a little bit. Lineup. My quarterback Aaron comments of their own a little bit at the you know only the fans a couple of weeks ago at a -- team as we know I things are things a little while."

[27:42]" Turn overs -- the Patriots point that was huge and -- turnovers you know couple and you know the unity. Big of a tiny yard area it was it was good good overall performance in like it -- Jackson doesn't play this weekend depending on if we find out about that. And when did a good. Yeah -- I've -- Only now you must be -- blow. With them going up again called me in. What you know what though I think I gotta go. You know I don't know -- do your thing with Indianapolis I -- they dominated them last week and it was -- interceptions return touchdowns. I wouldn't expect that I'm on on the one hand I think Indianapolis is at a team that almost like the Patriots. After getting embarrassed one week. And then there on Monday Night Football stages on the road but. They're team that might come model more fired up and get momentum kinda went on on the other hand you know Joseph -- in their. Their offense is certainly not got really attracted -- and he -- hasn't really been on track. So I I think you've got -- Tennessee tweak I couldn't I don't you know I mean. I don't know I April oh yeah on the broke if you wait Jackson is under you'll be under Stephen Jackson plays. I don't think you start only be over Tennessee can be our identity on trying to practice -- you absolutely do you can moderate outlook now hang on here's here's the dilemma you have is that. Did you got you got you make your decision by noon on Sunday you know Tennessee's playing Monday night. Tom boy that's going to be an interest in what talk off the are about talent here that -- now on Sunday it interesting question -- for short. What do you got over there. This week. Off quarterback. And yes David pure art and it and the Jaguars -- yeah. Jeff -- act now. And while that and one. No great quarterback right there no record guys that are you know campaign weakening and I think -- is an interesting guy and especially this week against Cleveland the I kinda think Maurice Jones Drew is going to be -- be huge Maurice Jones -- game that doesn't -- mean it won't -- Big -- our game. -- if I could go one of those three uncle Garcia. I go -- go Garcia. Even though he's the one guy on the road at those three I I think I think with -- it would be offense overall overall for the Patriots week. I think they win the game. I think it's kind of a let down game in some ways I think they you know maybe struggle offensively a little bit I don't think now is going to throw a lot of it I think he might be efficient and is hoping to be big numbers game. I think Jeff Garcia is. You know. He's a week -- week -- and right now he's proved it. It's amazing because there is starter that he gets benched. Sort of injured now he's back I think Dallas just reform Mota -- get a couple courts there in Dallas. On. I Michael -- Michael Garcia one. Of those Korean and castle Gerrard talked about a month old ones -- running. Up a little they might be. Thrown a little bit more this week. Green and it is short passes that town is running plays but he -- Sure I'll bet though you're you're about that he. I think. I think this could sort of attempt locked tight -- maybe not will be running back but he gets maybe 1214 touches -- those -- and you hope you get yardage -- like after this being as being one of those guys what do those sort of bombed you know -- and -- games were. You know maybe scored nineteen points and it's a touchdown or field goal -- day to. It was -- has been. I just think it -- you think about the Patriots on Monday night. -- around there have a great time. Didn't win Monday Night Football yet short week and don't travel really but a -- let down. You can deal with his eye line. -- I think the commodity and you'll you'll I don't think that's going to -- all that well for the Patriots -- players offense. And management being a it's. Almost -- Who your kicker Ryan Longwell. He buys me out and -- we eyes you could pick up and if if you know guys that are available. -- Out if he's available luck and I goes dormant in. Goes dormant -- you know what your observations and I was mentioning earlier that you know running back is so interesting how you can get -- Mewelde Moore. On stepped -- you can get a guy like Dominic road stepped rated on us at -- didn't have a huge game but. -- a couple weeks old -- like. Running back his position where you need a guy you find a guy I don't care what he's on how good their running game is it worth the risk if the guys are. No you actually era and only thing before -- your rattle off some numbers that. In the back -- this -- huge huge numbers Seymour is on -- on thirty plus yards and right. Mark -- healthy means that that. He's a decent is that number what he's he's clearly got but the good thing or go into the -- it was like. He's number one guy or the backup. Like you go based on how last year was before Moore got hurt and he'll probably handle the running -- or maybe it's more carries but it's not like it's 41 ratio more. A one and a half to one ratio so. -- and I are. I'm not too confident about the way the injuries on but. It's an every week and you get a guy that early right great week -- I don't think we knew who Brian grant you. You gotta do your homework you know pretty much on -- these guys."

[33:23]" And and -- a little bit I thought I was act running back was what my stories positions coming and he's Marion Barber. Reggie Bush."

[33:31]" And Ronnie Brown and you know I had I had a one of those guys each week after Ronnie -- had a huge game against the Patriots yeah that doesn't foresee."

[33:39]" On my tennis I remember now I I I tried to trade I'm trying to get them when he returned like you -- pick up."

[33:46]" Anybody now you can and they can out of them begin annually."

[33:49]" Any agent thing when you look at wide receiver on it much harder to know who's going to be targeted -- we got it running back. It's it's a little more you know at the ING -- he's going to get to carry and when he when the ball's in you know -- up to him. If you got three or four wide receivers on your NFL team that we're back prospect I -- get targeted. In his very few guys can really count on so you know you look at the waiver wire wide receiver and OK you know you eight. You're like like you or a good example Marcus Colston is their number one right wide receiver well when he goes that we won. It's not like there's the -- They're like three for a wide receivers on the team -- each step up and -- each maybe get two more catches and it would have to take you know. It to take over eight for instance or it's going to be one guy who gets the call -- load. It's hard to figure I think it's a little easier on with running -- here yet you know so. What -- you're talking about the fans that are retired but the Patriots and I am in tennis and you got to tweak keeping an even at one point. The way that the way where -- innings and out on and one of those cumulative all -- right as -- fifth point that's right that's right a little annoying mama. Being in fifth place at thirteen not doing too bad hanging in there. And -- playoffs -- it is not top. Nolan mine but I sure I think these rookies are look at anyways I think the -- is informant has yet -- top fourteen and out of are pretty well eleven are now in agreement well usually. I think the standard is fourteen -- regular season and then you go to playoff which we we sixteenth and you forget about Wie seventeen because. You know you'd hate to have. It is more common and we haven't been getting Carter's fifth you know if you look at what -- last year alas he's got him by a top rated. -- that we have a team but if you get it you know you've got your daughter leave the writing all year he's got -- All the way to championship game you can't -- games we have team but his NFL team has nothing play for that I mean you know yeah. You can never know you never know not go on -- a little more -- time -- at the halfway point as far as Jacko at -- at the halfway point lead of the NFL news you here it really is unbelievable. But it always a week in week out the media. We though he did you know I which elect again this week period what other Iowa what -- any other quick kid starter at."

[42:54]" Welcome back to the lowdown radio show as in. -- said I -- the man and the king of already you know obvious is on something right now. We all know that not a throw me off by -- and while it -- but. That's what we do here in the NC -- we talk about in football projections for the upcoming week. And Todd Bergeron emails and web radio Patriots dot com good afternoon once again. Two running backs are his for the the he has to -- picked two out of Mary barber for you today you're pretty or Italy I think is going to be -- bought this week he -- tenth ranked run -- what they stack the box and dear Brad Johnson to beat them which you won't. Number two Chris John for. After you suggested Lleyton or John last week and until -- injured sorry about that job -- on its weekly did not. That you've played against Cincinnati in earnest Graham against Dallas grant has been relegated to old that which means goal like Erick okay. Let's look at these four barber Chris John Clayton earnest Graham. You gotta go barber Ankara -- I. I tell you Marion Barber on. Even at a hundred yards rushing last week against St. Louis. I which it would. Dallas down big I'm Marion Barber is still and that shortly of guys who -- play -- they go up top that. I sort of -- agree with you Iger and they're good -- and I don't think for a job going to do much. But I think Marion Barber can do enough weather B right in the ball or -- the ball I think got to start. Chris are -- Steve -- I really do think he's very very close. On and I I beat port on those two I've sort of all lean more towards you Lleyton on the whole this year. Mo because Chris Johnson has given up. I touchdown carry to land deal like LenDale White guys getting 23 touchdown run games Chris Johnson has been the guy who. You know he's got some big yard -- and asked him ride on don't know which which week those games are going to be. I guess -- we don't pour on defense team I think you know he might have an opportunity here. But. I -- going to be the more than a week in week out I. I could be wrong here again opted to go barber. You know user got beat recruit -- you Lleyton. But I -- I I my with Lleyton there okay pick three wide receiver yours who Todd had Lee Evans for Buffalo going at Miami. San. Diego going up against New Orleans outlined -- Marcus Cole and of New Orleans going -- Diego outlined in your with -- retired as I wonder he has adopted a run off. Good -- Diego he is terrible and it Jack Johnson for Houston. I wondered -- one whatever will play this week okay yet to take three out of four days really no discussion here don't even think about Chad Johnson with right to Patrick thrown his way. You've got three pretty good ones at that you'll do well Lee Evans in Jackson Marcus Colston. While Lee Evans this week in eight career games against Miami he has eight touchdowns include three touchdown game in Miami."

[45:59]" I think he's going to have a big day Trent Edwards has really come into his own. It didn't Lee Evans and then the all all allow Wembley Stadium wide receiver situation -- is called I called him. You know he's got yet you -- last week but I don't represent two consecutive. More outings I'd go with markets called him and -- take my chance short hair and -- on big Itamar of -- Jackson. The Philip Rivers and -- in connection as specially if Chris Chambers is not 100 per at. And I'd definitely go there OK talk continues on our other players I think will be bought this week. Dominic Rhodes last Joe have a die if you play Indies -- hasn't been performing very well at all. And the third ranked tennis needs you'll put the pressure on all day I kind of agree with you there Tom I think Dominic -- going to be the guy get -- the -- And our roads -- two touchdowns not a lot of yards last week for Indy against Green Day and I agree they dominated that game. I think it's going to be tough for one this week against Tennessee on Monday Night Football we're talking with the idea earlier I do think Tennessee's defense is still a team to play this week. Even though we don't have up against Indianapolis I think typically in the run defense that he's going to do fine."

[47:11]" And one other note here from Todd. EOR's -- this week ago. Act QB and that attitude equals bought Brad Johnson just won't be able to get him the ball enough before he starts crying on the bench while they -- all over the Dallas the it is tough matchup Brad Johnson did not look good on but I I. I would be surprised though Terrell Owens. -- a touchdown in the game. Obviously he's dropping far down. You know wide receiver boards. On the -- who started a guy who's your top three top four every week when Tony Romo there and as important at that roto world dot com. I Gregg Rosenthal has goal line and he's got a all the way to the 23 and the reason being the Brad Johnson that. I'd hesitate started but I I I'd I'd. I wouldn't I wouldn't write him off budget yet -- But I think you're pretty good shape. As far as wide receivers go oh good like you right there I just take a look here at the goal line Gregg Rosenthal I always like to read his stuff -- stuff the goal -- it comes out. Early Thursday afternoons which perfect time for us it sort of by check on non what they have to offer for our show here. Our quarterback he's got a -- number one Drew Brees go to the Wembley he got Marcus Colston that no Reggie Bush -- hurt. That offense. Including Busch's number on excuse me -- numbers. But over number one guy Donovan McNabb for Philadelphia eight Atlanta number two that job what they're very high on for Houston against an added it should be another big game. At the rate matchup against a week. He took care of by Detroit last week. Philip Rivers again and that all Wembley a match up at New Orleans and able out Campbell rocketing up the fifth they do play Detroit -- you wouldn't -- able to be projected. Every week on but he is this week on the Detroit it really to freefall Brett Favre Trent Edwards -- you're only Kurt Warner. Roethlisberger round out the top ten there. And die cast -- well against him that's about right. I think middle the pack -- and act like that earlier I don't think it's huge numbers week. Like what the other day but you know I think you know act totals that or not on -- options now which is good. I think you'll lot where -- right there as our next -- reports coming up a huge week. Against Detroit. I last week we used -- going -- Detroit art everybody you haven't used an offense got it could name opt for Washington one guy -- my eye on a week. Antwaan Randle El and Randle el who had a game in Detroit last week if you look for wide receivers on the waiver wire. At a -- while the week off Washington Marion Barber number you wouldn't Tampa Bay. -- court coming -- A dismal performance last week for for a -- goes against Seattle should be a big one for him Brian Westbrook back to health. Against Atlanta and even Jack and number five side note being expected start keep an eye on him he doesn't start I'll be here for if you slowed. -- company keep an eye on Chris Johnson Marshawn Lynch late Tom Jones. And LaDainian Tomlinson round out the top five Gregg Rosenthal list of running backs wide receivers. He -- No not the giant guy the Carolina guy of course number one going to Arizona. I'd Rajon and against Cincinnati we -- against Miami Larry Fitzgerald against Carolina and Panama against Detroit. Boris Wayne Randy Moss Roddy White Marcus Colston round out the top ten and Welker is. 17. Definitely yeah you got your top guys still there right mentioned earlier Lee Evans guy I think he's going to have a knack of -- for Buffalo down in Miami. Our tight end Jason Witten you know one guy who would get here -- going in with Brad Johnson their you can look at tight ends went. You've got to back up by quarterback keep -- Witten Jason Witten in Atlanta Chris Cooley -- Washington guy in the top five no surprise there Antonio eight. Owen Daniels and Tony Gonzales of the top five and got Shockey Dallas Clark. Todd heap for David -- Anthony Fasano in the top ten and in -- and one and listed as fourteenth. I mentioned earlier Kellen Winslow is -- in a plate if I. Who is questionable it was added nineteen on Gregg Rosenthal. Our defense -- can -- some pretty good ones are pretty good options Baltimore Ravens against Oakland number one. Eagles against Atlanta number two are quite fully agree and I want -- hasn't been the name on the road as they've been at home. But I do think that Ryan might be real Michael Turner right through while as well keep by catcher like if I agree on the Eagles being number two but the Buccaneers thirty in Dallas. I gotta figure I got a reader Tennessee fourth and the giant defense against Pittsburgh. -- Jets -- Redskins. And the Patriots ground out the top ten. Very interesting check that Michael Robbie on oh on nfl.com their expert the start of the week is Thomas Jones of the Jets. Coming off a huge week going up against teams -- this time around in eighty with a terrible run defense really terrible team overall but they -- last. In the NFL in rushing yards per game I agree Thomas Jones. Bobby Jones matchup that we couldn't be more favorable as -- ranked dead last in the NFL against the run against the run. They've allowed an average of 195. Point five rushing yards per game I -- it. With five rushing touchdowns in their past two road games Tom Joe definitely got to keep in mind that found that interesting from. Michael Scott yeah I don't a couple of quick hitters from him quarterbacks to start I like Donovan McNabb and match job as the top two this week. And April or trying to -- I don't think credit report in more than Trent Edwards. Is becoming a starter every week kind of guy. -- at running back starter is Chris and I don't. I I still and I like Chris got a lot of think that Wendell white. Double and a white factor perch Chris Johnson but. Keep in mind in doubt that yeah -- anymore sleeper alert of course the injury situation the big question mark there he's a wide receivers are you at the Carolina -- Evans of Buffalo I agree on both in April -- Against Seattle the Patriots know what I Bruschi -- you beat him for two touchdowns when the pats were up Francisco couple weeks ago. Oh like definitely a sleeper right there and -- tight -- starter Chris Cooley and Jeremy Shockey is it for you -- You know I think he -- and get the reps this week. I don't know -- for him to the starting tight and the -- start and Baltimore Ravens can't go wrong on an alert the niners. Against Seattle -- Now under Mike singletary will control not exactly the you'd definitely won't want to art biggest -- the real. -- With Seneca Wallace show I think at that right there. One other guy on who I had in mind this week as a -- it. Kurt Warner. And here's why the Kurt Warner led Arizona Cardinals going to Carolina. Carolina has had four home games this year. I checked how many total combined passing touchdowns opposing -- court against Carolina at home here. A total of hero that is becoming the toughest -- for quarterback the play Drew Brees found that out last week I think for awards going to find that out this week. Nobody. As it was or passing touchdown Carolina -- keep that in mind if Kurt Warner is your guys. I'm a couple of other quick -- Kyle Orton has become one of the most Republicans. QB who would ever of a lot of that. I would definitely I keep him in my Kyle Orton has got to keep in mind this week on as always a right not this week -- buy but -- or if he's available you gotta go after him. That's for sure I want to leave -- on one note here. Cromartie now do you Gary always enjoyable read the talented mr. photo I started to show by talking about that Jarvis Green L want to leave it. Talk about -- Jarvis Green Ellis who all of a sudden is owned it and you know probably ten point recently on all around football here's what Matthew Perry says. My mom tells me I was dangerously close to being named Benjarvis when I was born. It's and they went with a more conventional Matthew. Because -- is cool the DE JGE yeah I call him is an important handcuffed anymore that it Laurence Maroney is out for the year. My guess is more -- but with the rain coming out even the resurgent ran you have to like you know Kevin Faulk in the relief in of course if anything happens the more. I'd rather better on the BJ GE. LaMont Jordan while I have a feeling -- you worry about anymore or LaMont Jordan as weak side -- as we mentioned earlier in the show in the practice report came out. Neither one of them practiced -- practice all week. And Jarvis Green know very well could be the guy.
