[0:39]" We have our own in house if people bumpy. And whoever built right yeah Brian well let us be a weekly Kiki did train employer right."

[0:47]" An apartment on -- to go down. When Brian --"

[0:53]" Welcome to another edition of the -- you load out here on Patriots dot com radio. It is week number nine in the NFL and guys talking last week about -- at the midway point of the fantasy football season in Vegas at this point here. In the second half the football season a pretty unbelievable and for the month of November it Halloween. Well in the area moment of European football he's Hampshire the top -- or is -- Tom Brady in the first round of Europe and -- draft. That would -- years moment we have -- you know a very very got a guest joining us we actually just that -- seasons which headphones to microphone from a few minutes ago when I -- you on and a -- playbook. Cut that there is anything on the data on -- that encouraged. Anyways -- you are notorious for being a football -- Urlacher."

[1:43]" Big time big time lacquer and your particular so that begs the question why the heck are you on the -- I was doing your favorite to help eyelash oh clock against the in this help a not it cheaper to. Well but I definitely you -- I AM because I I have one my offensively in the past. So it is this year that I'm just not really paying attention to a but I I've I've had some -- feels right. Right and you can't you you've been giving yourself any credit for winning in the past or -- just like off that you don't know though those are yours where I was actively out making roster moves -- and you know had had. A great draft in the beginning. Mean a hernia injuries that came along -- draft this year. Did take part and didn't try to just tremendous. I got that point where it's just that there's too much other stuff on the on the plate I hear it and the idea for the sake of my friends -- asked -- to -- the that they haven't been number news. I'd go right leagues right writer. On the he has the doorman little --"

[2:42]" Like yeah I give you credit you keep you know not everybody can be and a -- geek like me. And I have a double OI mean guru and have heavily Jewish following several -- several I get through that. There's one you're right I was in relief. I'm one of those I can't you know they organized and -- in our league let it go for you know and and what they're relocating to a -- Eric colon cancer and a half. Exactly. Exactly. They noted that you know it just it is great to be on your show great read attitude to come on -- show. Are your thoughts Eric bomb on -- is a far from a Patriot. Point of view boys that are you -- their guys who have been non. You know I'd put our task like we've been you thought it appeared that council a fan or -- whole quarter and a wood jackass will be --"

[3:33]" I think you know it. There's there's a dearth of quality quarterbacks in the NFL right now. And hazard for the past years they're only a handful of players who I would consider. You know -- great franchise quarterback one of them is out for the season yeah Tom Brady a top of -- another one but he's not having a Peyton Manning like year. I would is that Tony Romo little while back but now he's her. So I think your best quarterback right now on the Lee gets -- Drew Brees Drew Brees."

[4:03]" I think to me is -- he wanted to say. The players at any position -- right now are you know what you're going to get out of him I think he's only had one game this year a couple weeks ago where he really didn't have the two or three touchdowns and you knew he had to do next I think. On he's really wanted to keep his guys right up there in your number one in yardage right I great touchdowns while. On what smoked for standing you've got guys like you know like you're Phillip Rivers who -- it up or down Aaron Rodgers could not during these guys aren't yet. In the upper echelon -- you -- year in year out for them to have to beat top form."

[4:35]" And that's why this is the kind of year where if you have -- you're not really too bad off because nobody else in the league is really performing at at a at a high a high enough level that you you can why wish I had this guy that guy the only guy you can say that about as we said it is -- you know every week is going to get you what you need. That that Cassel had his best game as a -- against the Rams that day he did yardage wise and did and and Al and otherwise. I think for the rest of the year he continues to trend the way he has he's a great option given what available around the league which does not not a whole lot."

[5:10]" Right I in this week I was I was trying to monitor and take a look back at it. Like last year like last year's been a lot of quarterback changes and you know you got a guy like Brady who goes out that he's okay his jacket is going to take over. You know and we are you weeks until he really screw up but you've got the week in week out guys. I'm in eighty get -- everywhere you got different teams out of injury you guys even Romo you mention -- don't know how long he's going to be out you gotta look at back up that -- like that. I was at at at the back of how they perform and you've got that your you don't have a guy who's been who's coming out of nowhere and gain a Derek Jeter. I'm like like that was unique last year I guy comes if he's not as ours back -- into pro ball you've got your your that Cassel. Kerry Collins mom I would have put JT O'Sullivan and category for five or six week yeah no doubt that a couple that we you get your your guys that. Probably -- and -- annual league. But they're not going to tell you -- when naslund can't recall three touchdown passes here they also receptions is at a couple of the yard game. Then you've got these guys who have just been miserable but you figure it's a lot of it has to do with the -- that they're playing with Dan Orlovsky. Ryan Patrick you know -- guy. Very hard or might be the only Harvard I dive the roster this year. On and and if you yet to be really desperate on if you had to jump in and like one of these guys. Opt in you got another year but like Brett John I who -- a veteran he's been around before he's attacking with much talent. What do you do you know why not much more. Now you're seeing. As a result of this a lack of quality depth at quarterback you seen a and ancillary effect with wide receivers production. On the there haven't been -- some -- the into some of the that the the wide -- that you expect to warm while on have done well but you know. Terrell out and Terrell Owens not doing much with with Brad Johnson look at Cincinnati. I mean you know went went with Carson Palmer -- for a while it's absolutely hurt those guys. Onto Detroit I mean without court you know -- job and had his moments are Roy Williams chipped it out yet -- act. On and and in -- in -- him or back. It as -- back on the running back on these days might have running backs get more more more carries marked as important to a sometimes. I feel like -- you know. More tight -- who have been solid receiving options on a tight end in that immediate result of quarterback stepping in and relying on a tight and short cat in a little more so it does have an effect. On and a great question too because how much of an effect. And when you have the wide receiver. On what they Terrell Owens on yo we we talked about the Atlanta couple weeks ago on the week that Tony Romo was first down out like me he beat he actually would play how much if he doesn't play what is affect -- he does play who helped promote. On Marion Barber what kind of effect is that him on it's it's definitely a factor and a lot of it depends of the overall team in an annual -- weapons that."

[8:10]" So are you at this point in the season you more concerned with having depth at wide receiver. And quarterback because. You need you need more production out of your wide receivers as a group. And you do any one particular quarterback so -- important to have more guys who can start for -- at wide receiver than the than to try to get a quality quarterback."

[8:30]" All I feel like having equality quarterback is maybe the most important it is is maybe the most vital element I mean. I certainly feel that running back. Value is is where the hot you know what you're looking at draft chart at right back but I feel like you can get you can you can bank on more production from the top here. Quarterbacks week in week out that's. And at wide receiver even trickier because you you know if that guy is starting running back team. You know -- can get. And you know that if if a guy -- eighteen carries on. Maybe he get you know he -- eighty yards -- today but the eighteen chances that he -- one. With wide receivers you can look at target number and how many times the ball Broadway. -- What -- ball -- top ranked -- he's going to run with it there's a multi fumbles a ball onto wide receivers to me there. I think you were you there you need depth depth at wide receiver it and there's so much more -- involved. Having the right exit at at wide receiver that are as a quarterback YR or -- back I think I think having the top -- wide receiver Terry having atop your quarterback. Is the safest bet when you look at each of these added to it that's -- I think it. It is tough to figure -- your era."

[9:49]" The affect your original question about. Fantasy. Result -- for Patriot respect I think. Obviously Randy Moss is. Significantly and dried off yet yet but the guy who hasn't really. Then Wes Welker right so -- you if you have him on your team I think you're. He you know he might be -- a couple of touchdowns but from a yardage or -- standpoint he's I think. You know about on pace -- like --"

[10:16]" I hadn't. -- record for most considered at a record I think most active. Games he's extra more catches and predictable. You know you got Cassel coming in and and more of a you don't play in the deep passing game on you had to figure that that would take that back in that Welker his ability get open underneath which which who -- more. And that has been the case on your right hasn't affected him at all on you know -- and Watson have been more productive in the outperformer if Brady was and it's possible maybe you wouldn't have to be blocking as much because Brady can make quicker decisions he'd be -- it's it's it's -- dot on one to think about web radio Patriots dot com by the way is our email address we love hear from you that's -- the show. Really is based upon getting your thoughts on you asking questions -- argued that we already have emails in the inbox. I'm that we will get to what we encourage more of them. I send your questions out early sent him off and we want to hear -- Eric. Always I always good to have you on -- debut your debut load -- we hope that you act though. And down you know maybe you can find a league that are we got -- and hooked on the Olympics. The Olympics are over. I've put it -- about a -- a pencil and I get a girl. But you're public 2009 he can we get involved in football. It negotiable it's the -- I'm I'm not but now I'm not going to McNabb and that was recording by the way there was yeah -- Eric thanks are coming -- thought Joseph Duncan. And it. Okay -- radio Patriots dot com -- listening to -- out your Patriots dot com radio we've got all kinds of topics get to a dot from the -- in football indelicate to them the upcoming projections on in the guys in in for the coming weekend and look back at the leaders from the this past week. Web radio Patriots dot com is the email address five point 5437482. That is the phone number we can take your calls as well we'll be right back after this he load."

[12:55]" That's eleven acute over catering had a good to beat for a -- make it very far from together catering and give them -- I'll never forget what do you get I'll let you -- back."

[13:04]" Big games mean big parties feet twenty or more of your friends with a -- hot -- not sure naked burrito bar from -- go with Hillary gets fast -- in budget friendly now with sixteen messages -- two occasions opening September Patriot place and get more square hole manual available -- dot com."

[13:25]" 900 won't be awesome offensive season Gillette Stadium you'll be okay all right home. Tackle that happens -- with the Patriots gridiron guerrillas tried second. Hostages -- frame of Patriots brought in a wide variety of flavors at home. Yeah. We value drillers are all you need for the perfect game go home barbecue chicken out all the Patriots gridiron. The Jets Patriots. -- don't bring in homework. Patriots. -- drillers. Brothers are very far Shaw's stuffing. -- when you just can't wait for Sunday."

[14:28]" Making another run and and MLS cup championship it was. Playoff push at Gillette Stadium with the Budweiser and with a cup. But from what once quest for the cup back it's one of the -- final matches of the and a pair of -- revolution. Budweiser quest for the cup to the accident just -- w.s to get a reds match and you'll take home -- magic -- revolution played glasses yeah. 21 over my. Cubs -- 77 get -- a lot of good. Information everything else --"

[15:21]" Well -- here again we're Sunday means you're doing a thing football. Whether it's tailgating in the parking lot throwing the -- get around to just hang in in in watching the game of the two is all about football. And when you're not watching football or playing football well I think we both know you're thinking football. And all that can make -- a little Hungary. That's why there's that TDs neck wrap from McDonald's. Neck grabs now coming your choice of three relievers you do -- to barbecue honey mustard and ranch and they're available with grilled crispy chicken. Delicious and easy to eat it a perfect game time -- one today. And when you do if you're looking at that you can elect any kind of remind you of the quarterback in the middle of the pocket and now he's run by cheddar Jack -- rant I'll let us. While BP you're thinking a little too much about football. McDonald's I'm loving it."

[16:23]" Welcome back. I think of him he lowdown. Radio show we are Patriots dot com radio with you every Thursday from scored five or maybe -- you'll be listening later on when -- three years from ninth and I believe it is. -- Five hours later yet. Oh in Hawaii yet and that's right that's right -- this on the middle of the night like. You know the afternoon not -- aware. I'm tunes I'm confused you know at times when you listen to the replay will be active this time -- time yeah yeah how about so -- network when it for everybody and why it ego and ego. I we are talking about."

[16:57]" In a week ahead and the within a week behind -- got a hectic a quick look at we do every week -- a performance is. How about that game in England if you're quarterback that you played England last week at a -- a pretty good week at a European order you had -- Drew Brees or Philip Rivers -- a three touchdown we really similar numbers. Three touchdowns for both guys -- right around a number yardage 341 for Rivers in 339 for Brees or Rivers threw an interception but those were related to -- Quarterbacking our performances in the NFL for -- net job record three touchdowns as well. I'm in a few other guys that 300 yards passing Kurt Warner along with two touchdown passes Chad Pennington -- 300 yards. And -- Peyton Manning Tyler big animal people -- the kicker art. On had 22 touchdown passes we talked about Matt Cassel earlier he would probably his best day as an NFL quarterback. I was in great Nic Wise one touchdown two interceptions. On on the day running back Brian Westbrook boy I think he's healthy 167. Yards and two touchdowns for him. Yeah a couple of by a touchdown performances two touchdowns for LenDale White although not really any yardage at all Leonard Weaver. Raise your hand if you Leonard Weaver and your favorite team is virtually notes due. Fullback in Seattle but -- true touchdown receptions both running catches that a 116 yards needing only thirteen on the ground. LaDainian Tomlinson out in England at a 105 yards rushing. Angela Williams a 108 yards. -- touchdown. Body yardage on day for Clinton Puerto 120. Yards on the date on did not have a touchdown but he's continuing and it really strong season. I'm as far as wide -- there is -- threw touchdown days where he -- the Carolina Roddy White. On Atlanta really that Roddy White and now Ryan Roddy White and has been steam rolling through the year I think one -- and his return from injury and two touchdowns. As Kevin Walter and I'm not reaching the ends on what racking up yardage Ted Ginn junior bout time I have him on one of my teams tied at. Pat I hope -- and -- performed all that well but a 175. Yards for him off on the ivory Johnson 143 yards. Force -- and Larry Fitzgerald will be Evans. Few other guys it reached a hundred yards in Panama also mentioned. 140 yards and a touchdown. -- rainbow. Jericho Cotchery. And of course right here in New England Randy Moss and all reached a hundred yards on today. They'll productive day even -- reached the end zone and guys that -- quick look at tight end. And I read -- Dallas Clark Dwight definitely a focus for the Patriots this week the Indianapolis and he had 94 yards and their scores and his big day of the year. Antonio Gates Tony Gonzales Kevin Boss Mark Campbell and it the title also. Reaching the end zone. -- it's identical current. In his past week as I mentioned web radio Patriots dot com or email address it to a few emails right now and I was first I hear from that. -- got a bunch of questions read this week the first couple our starts are. I know we're both pretty high and Trent Edwards early in the season and while he's been solid on the field he has a great option last week he scored zero point in my yep yep week. My other quarterback in the league is next job who has been playing pretty well. My question is Michael job or is it too early to give up on Edwards and already give up on Edwards. He's got Lee Evans. And and he's he's perform well enough. This year that either from within a point of view I'm not really give up on and host the yet I think is an interesting week for him I think -- can do well this week. And at home in a big guy division game that they need to -- I -- the Edward Evans connection. Performing well. And as far as users can earn you go to the go to you know believe it or not they don't have a great pass I'd these. And dye job you know Schaub is really come on on -- that that couple -- country -- Kevin Walter -- emerging as one of the top. Wide receiver tandem. I'm I like job as well. I go Edwards on being at home this week. On the close call. On I like job a little more for yardage this week maybe I like Edwards may be for forgetting more touchdown passes on oh might depend on what you want what feels more valuable in nearly. It's a good good option to have it could quite and have a good. On the decision to make I don't know if you can go wrong this week I mean a little bit more towards Edwards at home. Love Evans love Marshawn Lynch running the ball in receiving it is while. On slightly towards Edwards. Now that was on the name in the we are the following running backs and receivers and five positions got a got a four positions they'll. A running back to wide receivers like my number one -- is Marshawn Lynch. That went to half and -- in the black between either Larry Fitzgerald you've met Dwayne Bo Ryan Grant and Mewelde Moore. With Steve Smith on the by a -- who are the flex position grant more or Ben Jarvis Green Ellis. Could you BJ GE get a touchdown. Have to assume more or grant would be for that for double digit points. It will that you've got an interesting decision there and I would probably cross and Jarvis Green -- awful -- On I they'd have for Reed and LaMont Jordan on back to practice this week getting the chance he could play and maybe get a bunch of carries on. But overall -- as being similar to running back -- for the Patriots as they have last week. I think I need to be more the time clock day. On and Jarvis Green Ellis is a goal line option on but. I don't think yet he's at that point we're but he got him hightower and Arizona -- or Ron McClain for awhile with dom. With -- Baltimore I think we still need to even Jarvis Green tells you that. That goal line running back option. On for a couple consecutive weeks before we give him that Ken Duke on. Certainly I'd -- starting pitcher are Green-Ellis ahead. Ryan Grant or Mewelde Moore. If Willie Parker is not playing I like Mewelde Moore the best among all those options on even though the playing at Washington on Monday Night Football and I've been very impressed with what Morgan it would do. Obvious caught touchdown pass -- well. While running in evening for Mewelde Moore but I completely hinges on Willie Parker. And if you don't know if Willie price -- Point two Willie Parker on playing this week. Probably not a full workload. I'm. So that's where you get a little tricky if more the more is splitting time with Willie Parker on and then Ryan Grant -- Green Day. They play who'd they play -- weekly days at Tennessee tough match tough matchup for Ryan Grant. On so what I is easily parker will be more for or if it -- limited. I mean lean toward right -- you know it's bad matchup. But he's your every down guy for Green -- report off. And go -- That's always possible I would not go with dark green now."

[23:51]" Through more questions from that what are your thoughts on Jason Witten week. He left last week's game with an injury but as opposed to play against -- giant. IR -- Witten or grab one of the waiver wire tight -- for this week. On Witten is definitely something we've got to monitor here. Jason Witten with a rib injury and is he likely going to be game time the vision that sort of Reading this week. On I kinda think that -- Martellus Bennett who is the backup. Have very intriguing prospect. On -- can't go -- guy he's an excellent choice I think this week he's a rookie. And I think that he could be the kind of died -- Brad Johnson goes to on he's looking for that option down team. On his big guy on the got a bright future. Witten it will likely game time decision I -- did not practice on Thursday. -- I hesitate there if you're looking for options. You know waiver wire options at tight -- I I think can be successful. On one -- fortunately he's not -- help you this week. On the political -- injury lingers is what it for a -- the last moment of the NFL he's in last week I can't like we could Mike singletary. His actions on the field toward Vernon Davis and then -- yet afterwards. -- you've got to imagine that Vernon Davis who has been blocked on real NFL wise and and wise I you've got to imagine. That he's in the doghouse which means you might not get beginning opportunities the -- walker. That could ever go there on a -- this week. On who's not help you much this week but definitely got to keep in mind boat -- one -- for Tennessee the -- that the money and I can't. Is the -- to carry -- target there's no question about that yet Alge Crumpler but both eighth as a guy I keep in mind. On Billy Miller in in New Orleans with. You know with with caught on Jeremy Shockey being hobbled this year that's -- want Anthony -- might not be a waiver wires anymore but. Yeah he's a productive tight end in Miami grabbed him if he can't and I kinda had my manager Carl and in Seattle he's a rookie and a -- really -- the end zone much but you guys keep in mind while you're looking for the waiver wire but I too early. Witten. On you've got to imagine most of the time a situation like that he doesn't play on that would be my guess. You know you know practice during the week I don't -- might get up you may be looking at waiver wire pick up their mess and finally on that right what are your thoughts are -- rain -- impact moving forward and it. You're Denver running back you've got some value you definitely have value Michael Pittman went healthier right now he's healthy the flavor of the week. On there was all the young early on but he's been Gary did that appointment on ice for odd couple fumbles and Patriot. That perhaps -- on mine you know keep trying to -- in my because if he becomes a -- it can get carries and then in Denver. Absolutely I'd go form like request of their net they were emailing in and out hoping -- this weekend -- you can have a full week. In its web radio a Patriots dot com if you'd like email and and I check in which there -- good start at. Or right to but he rant that you might have -- this week. Doreen Miller we have here Paul from London and I'm just going to jump ahead in his email first yes I did go to Wembley as US last week. I would've required last week but as I don't live I couldn't great game anyway. So Paul did check out that. Hi going up there be in San Diego must recorded in game. -- a little more Gordon and last year's giant Miami game I short. On upon hope you enjoyed our on your email questions now finally I don't have a player by Michael full squad to choose from -- keeper league ten yards for any return yards -- very good keep in -- there. Okay quarterback. Rattling -- for him on injured Jay Cutler to Campbell Tom Brady as Brady away that's good call Edwards shopgirl art and Flacco. Are the QBs who are available on on waivers between Jay Cutler Campbell. And Tom Brady I'd go with a color for sure this week Jason Campbell is my. Guy who I think he's going to have a rough outing. Against Pittsburgh finally I think Jason -- going to throw an interception. I don't think he's going to have a lot of yardage -- great year. But I wouldn't go with him object color with Denver against Miami home against Miami I think this could be a big week. For -- Denver and their wide -- guy did back on track a little bit -- last week to -- going to the Patriots it was a it was a a -- performance he -- of his finger. If -- and -- I'm going to color running back. Brandon Jacob Johnson I imagine that Chris Johnson Richard as well be more anymore and Darren McFadden -- bringing Green-Ellis for the start. Replacing more bomb I don't think so. What you are two or three running back you're up Paul I definitely go -- I -- Johnson and I go more all the more if you are starting three. Ahead of mark McFadden or Green-Ellis."

[28:46]" And out wide receiver again you're out you pretty yet secret -- remember from -- past week Randy Moss Wes Welker -- Gerald. And -- shot Jackson -- Randall L. -- That he."

[29:02]" Small all right okay and I've got to halt in the -- and you've -- are available I'll return to reply. In a big point in the league. I'm an interesting one with the return yardage. Keep reminding her I like Randall well for that like brought in for that as well. I'm Moss and Welker on I don't know he's going to be huge week for either one of them -- that. On but I'd still that with them and -- to -- though I think the Kurt Warner tiller is Gerald and I'm going to have a big week this week at St. Lewis I go for them -- short. I think Chris Cooley -- in a husky. And you think teams at the bay Buccaneers. Girls are their and it was me that was the first time -- to work short Tuesday -- in my name help again. -- always could tell ya thanks for emailing in and if you want to be like -- or Paul you know and a web radio at Patriots dot com. We look at the -- are we ahead in -- we behind by we this week in San Diego -- Francisco and Carolina. Certainly they got going on in Francisco. With that he hears all the benched and Shawn Hill the next quarterback. In the NFL who's going to get chances. Apologize later in water in the yeah in the and Jerry are about that but. You know -- yeah I gotta hydrate gotta hydrate and you know we need to water point out there. Now hydrated flooding -- down here. I want to mention Jason Witten now we just talked about from our around."

[30:44]" As a as a back -- option on Martellus Bennett physically gifted guy from Texas and am. And I watch them the that I'm not yet you know showed your -- can be tight end a rookie picked on quite a bit. But I think he's coming it was a little bit now and I feel like he could die he could open minds -- opportunity. On whether that this week on what -- Witten being out or not I'd definitely like him. Donnie Avery. It was very demise in person last week when the Rams came here to New England. On and I think that the emerging connection. And we -- Isaac Bruce was -- for awhile he's not there anymore Torry Holt. On his -- is definitely you know on on the decline. And I Donnie -- what do you guy the guy can get open. I've gotten kept the ball and -- after the catch on if you're lucky enough to a beater drafted him or more likely picked him up on waivers in recent weeks. On yeah definitely getting special talent -- I think there's no doubt about it he's a big play threat every week regardless where they're playing and and I think -- Arizona it was matchup. On Sunday in St. Louis at the Edward Jones -- Jones don't. It's going to be just your point for fans implications on even Jackson is back on he missed the game puritan New England. On Sunday with his injury. And whether or not that would -- at all like -- to think that Jackson's impact would have been. Would've been huge I like him for this week in and -- in fantasy is well. I'm. I mentioned earlier in the tight ends that we had an email question about tight ends on on the waiver wire and you know. If -- situation with Vernon Davis isn't the letting walker not a guy -- to I know very much about but maybe it -- Shawn Hill come inning you know like a team guy the one in Walker's second tight end. Opt to and that -- On -- and Antoine Walker and I don't know -- on -- in this whole lot quarterback hierarchy. On with quarterbacks have replaced injured guys this year. On -- to mourn your loss -- Ryan Patrick our realm or is it anymore because of and the manager in the game to -- zero time. And -- more than act as Terry Collins. Our realm. What you really -- for your pitcher Brett for guys for -- purposes. Is that guy comes in just doesn't make a lot of mistakes me didn't get to a yards on the idea for a touchdown that. On hopefully not a nick but you know -- trying to give -- more than not touchdown to out of him. I'm in game but still worth the worth a shot worth it and -- chance on on a guy like. John hill there on their bye this week in which he can do -- next week. I every third they would like to check out one of our one of my favorite. Column I Gregg Rosenthal you know that's rankings for the upcoming week. I'm available on Thursdays and guys always in it and looked look at who you predict and it did big week this week. And I quarterback Kurt Warner I was one -- might absolute. Worst decisions you know he -- this here was last week both. Here -- the fans who -- our radio show and on Patriots -- in the that every Thursday. Optical Kurt Warner as my -- that I didn't inevitably gain -- Carolina Carolina had not given up a single touchdown the entire season. Until last week -- Kurt Warner what nearly 400 yards two touchdowns early Anquan Boldin. Kurt Warner is the number one guy on the goal line and Greg gross -- goal line and as our quarterback this week the number one project quarterback. I like that -- I think that's going to be high scoring game. And -- jay color number two against Miami. Yeah this is probable with a finger injury that's good that right -- Peyton Manning being against the Patriot number three. I -- great. I think with the weapons he has struggled at that secondary on Peyton Manning number three quarterback the quarterback this week. I've gotta agree Donovan McNabb number four at this point Seattle Seahawks. And a matchup number five. Against Minnesota. And then really stunning. The matter -- he's so far it's Kyle Orton. Could ever imagine Kyle Orton. Would be one of the top ten quarterback let -- number. I'm not Greg's death in rankings this week quarterback. Yeah Chicago Bears playing Detroit that's what happens when not when you're playing Detroit and Brian lower -- Jackie. Might be the number that quarterback ranked. If were playing Detroit this week. But Kyle Orton is simply put up the numbers and that's pretty they're pretty impressive. I Chad Pennington number seven another impressive scenario where he goes to Miami are pretty early he has been. It was jet quarterback this year on -- wise put up good yardage -- great throwing pretty great completion percentage. And a touchdown as well. Brett Favre the guy who replaced him memory Trent Edwards number nine. And keep score card number ten those your quarterback rankings after seeing -- this week and accurate and Matt Cassel. Ranked sixteenth. Witches are right around right put him on middle the pack you know out of but you know twenty quarterback ready to go start I felt we. I'll look at running back Brian what were -- like I if you go a healthy week in week out. Which has been the number one guy. I every single year number one guy drafted guys but here's number one this week in Seattle -- that Donovan McNabb earlier top five quarterback. On kind of agree there it's going to be big day for Philly offense Adrian Peter -- number two Matt -- number three even Jackson on number four and Marion Barber number five. On -- starts in the rookie is number seven you gotta go pretty far down. To what -- Patriots and Kevin Faulk is 35 LaMont Jordan 27. On and Jarvis Green now -- before I feel like him LaMont Jordan does go to week. That -- would be the guys who would really get carried on put you know it's so frustrating guy's got to be frustrating year. It is ordered as any of the Patriots running back. Because you just don't know week in week out which the guy's going to be the ones that carries which went -- carries in the red zone. On who have the ball thrown one and it was Kevin Faulk last week on. Well when march Maroney goes out for the year on the eve of the money at a football game related day of on you accuse me anymore the guy we finally got a win here a little bit is huge for have to -- Denver. And and he goes down and we haven't even got to practice last week game. Most likely he'll miss -- game again this week on but really the question is what does that mean what does that mean for Kevin Faulk. What does it mean for -- Jarvis Green Ellis. What does it mean for LaMont Jordan all of very few questions. All questions that we don't really having you on what the Patriots you really obviously it's too until. Until game time in the team is developing and di -- the waited. Not quite the same as the needs of the teams -- got injured and others number one guy who steps and I'm not quite the same here that you -- Maroney was supposed to be that guy. But so far it's cyclical the wide receivers. Andre Johnson number one just having outstanding year and they're going up against Minnesota and I said earlier you don't go to their defense is great reputation overall. On defense wise not so good they're actually twentieth in the entire league this year in not ask you as as far as yardage given up. So they haven't been quite the juggernaut offensively. As a lot of observers thought they would Brandon Marshall Denver number two like I said I think the -- Jay Cutler led off and get back on track. After a bye week you know an off week against the Patriots Larry Fitzgerald Anquan Boldin. Tandem of Arizona Cardinals -- three and four they're going to get it Lewis that should be high flying there. Reggie Wayne. I'm against Patriots number five I to keep in mind his injury situation though doesn't an ankle injury and was not believe his limited. In a Wednesday practice for Indy on keep an -- they're. Lee Evans Roddy White Bernard Berrian Greg Jennings and Randy Moss is on number ten and I Gregg Rosenthal is note on mark is going over the middle more. On that is it does that mean that he's going to have your opportunities at the end zone especially because they're great yards after the catch. Usually you know he'd gotten VI they're the wide receiver green a little bit. On -- maybe that'll be a great for right reception he. If you point the reception but might not be a good for yardage and touchdowns and obviously. Randy Moss has been affected by the yet but not having Tom Brady and that's last week but maybe he -- to a bit of a group with -- all. Going over the middle more that is a possibility I tight ends the number one tight end is now Clark owns this week. Against the Patriot Greg goals -- number two Owen Daniels who never three Tony Gonzales for and Jason Witten five on the of course that data. Is completely predicated on health. -- something too wise to keep reminded the monitor and not really with the Patriots that Watson guys it was nineteenth going to this week. I'm not too wide not not really anything to worry about their -- on if especially use more of as a blocker which has been the case on in recent week. And guys just looking quickly -- Chicago Bears number one in Detroit at the green there Eagles Ravens Buccaneers and Giants they round out. Beyond the top spot. Those are our -- rankings I going to this week web radio Patriots dot com that is our email address. If you want to check in with us and us send your thoughts and your fans thought we're always ready and willing to listen. And always surprised we do have a surprise coming up very sympathetic one. One of the topic I wanted to bring up. I whose idea I was just kind of thinking in my mind to my mind is always are running when it comes to fantasy football odd kind of lose it that way of course geek -- whatever you want to call on what if this was -- one of -- season. If we it took everything into account that we know right now we're in week nine. That was mine Gary you definitely want. Thank you they're reform -- ninth year if you start from scratch it started at an elite right now. They and everything we know -- injuries on you know the way a player has has --"

[40:37]" Warmed up to this year. Projected for this year and you start you what would be your round one who would be your number one guy the number one pick that you would make -- starting illegal right now. Did you -- joins us as he often does and -- and guys that that's were starting with right now -- put -- right spot. On if you could start a fantasy league right now you're the first pick in the draft and you had a in the league that basically ran from -- ninth at the end of the season. Who would be your number one pick -- the number one pick in the entire draft then. There's the Jarvis Green Ellis you know and that's what I was going to AP -- This is not eight point letter in the name. Aren't -- tell you that well I think nearly four players and and while it doesn't do much -- even if you if you get no -- it's your one and and I started to you know I think about a little bit. I have you thought in mind you option. On any what do you what do why -- you if you go from week one week one LaDainian Tom either number one guy -- your private number. Number you guys Steven Jackson was -- Jackson was up their price still would be. Mary and barber. Was really the -- kinda came to mind number one. That really based on. So far -- seventy -- on how healthy we don't minimal can or there but overall not bad. -- like with Brad Johnson at the at the Helm of Tony Romo it puts a little more Marion Barber meaning he's going to get more touches. On either -- Romo there and it's. But overall active offense. I like they -- Barbara to keep -- beat the guy. As of right now going to the direct the dot I would agree with. That that the Cowboys there and heard a little bit quarterback. Guy you -- the Garrett you know on the back field. Yeah and and might never I was reprieve and here's why. I think he I think he right now is the need to -- player week in week out I might be wrong on that. And I have Drew Brees and one of my -- and I -- rolled within four is by right now and I think he's the ocean. We we got his number I believe are pretty -- And he's got a good offense overall I would it and number two and then the next year was running backs in -- Clinton -- Seven a dominant years. Haven't done a year he's getting up there he's you know it will whereas here I feel like -- here might be important on these other guys on but -- huge yet because it. Media doesn't keep up at the -- 1500 yard day. On the eighty declines a little bit on but not that and and Michael Turner with -- Thomas -- worked. -- on -- in that order Westbrook. I don't they don't not really feel confident about him from injury point on but I these guys you you'd Bryant might mean you know -- spot their but. On you know -- it didn't think it was interest in one when I start thinking about it. On because you take your a lot more calm. I'd take into account that you do at the beginning the year when you just don't know who were going to -- you guys Howard different -- and going to really look would -- new quarterbacks I know you kind of know. How he got double."

[43:47]" What's you know. Running back that we come to mind these guys. The most points here and year out but at the time those guys that are probably most injury prone at risk of missing a week here a week there. By and I after -- guy like Marion Barber. I. As -- Jack and Brian Westbrook their program -- you know they're going to be."

[44:10]" Superstars in an -- they're going to put up thousand plus yards rushing. 510. While touchdowns he's in on those guys -- rock solid."

[44:21]" Low budget into the next week then. Rough ones who. Are one and fortunate cry because of of of advice and I didn't I didn't hear it might well. Usually that's a way to win don't take my advice you're -- delete. Or the tough decisions had a knack for all that I had a -- in a quarterback. David grow aren't -- Jeff Garcia. And it's completely yap -- broke one. I was surprised by that by that -- I thought the India. High scoring game was out in Tampa that put up my nine point yet they -- put a nine point snap Bryant yet -- you're five. And while they -- I had a knack -- On my team. Two teams but. One of both I -- one and one week I just a ridiculous scoring day reprieve. Roddy White. Had Mewelde Moore and and Dominic Rhodes to perform well Ted Ginn regarding. I just had in big time -- this week. One and I was really. I didn't -- it was going to be real that we myself. I was little -- all prizes like no reason to think that Ted Ginn was in under five yards I had that he didn't reading my -- we bred smart I'm not the Marlins to have kept him and I had about buying -- all arguments and Anquan Boldin. And I did story -- and two touchdowns so you know that was. I didn't expect out of him on -- on I think because of and I we that I had. You know I I I definitely had to start him. And actually going to play need to get maybe a couple the couple looks in the red zone two touchdowns could argue with that that was. Very about that."

[46:06]" You know like you understand why. You know one of the players that but not 150 plus yard passing 150 plus yards. Running the ball -- Arnold -- our order our Ronnie Brown a year yeah -- of the guys -- their 49. Yards. -- did you -- You know. Right. Yeah her rookie -- on hard to find those guys and -- I'm the guy who. You know Dudek is only week we got -- earlier I've show on. -- Heidi tell you know quarterback coming -- on replace injured guys on you know. You're looking for guys filling. It's harder. You know at the quarterback position in the quote unquote full filling quarterback this year on from point a guy like Matt Cassel. He is -- and early on on but he faded on. Full means 200 yards -- touchdown probably -- On you're not going to be finding these guys were -- our guys retouched. Bra and a quarterback is all the bowl and we've matched them breeze. Rogers Philip Rivers Romo Romo when healthy. -- you can really count on a Donovan McNabb seven did a good year on the you know topic you know early in -- numbers every week. Kurt -- going to give you some big numbers but those big numbers include interceptions. On and there's a lot of guys that have been. Seen offers that are. Right Tom Brady not doing your job which which is which Troy. What about this coming week you your card by a bye week -- I am I Drew Brees."

[47:51]" No I'm not too bad I got Reggie Bush true they'll learn and then obviously I want to play anyway Chris Chambers my only other plan that."

[47:59]" Is on the -- now I'm looking I'm looking pretty good com."

[48:04]" that the fans this week. Kind of hedging between new England and and he last week when it. Ewing and obviously playing ran up and and that type -- calls yet this week. And he all the way away with doing an on going Indianapolis sure but I think I think this week I should I should do pretty decent."

[48:25]" I think there's going to be as a look at the NFL sleep for this week. On the game that I really have my eye on that means you blow it off a game in Arizona and and you've got. For the most part you've got healthy bodies at key positions even Jackson one that. That -- don't know but I just people in the dome. I think both these often are going to go round this week. Actually -- you know there is in the eyes looking at the bit ago on even Jackson he was vague apparently. We reported today on about -- is that week nine. On for the second straight day. 830 to forty cent of the practice load. On -- at practice and play a practice and to play if that tells you anything. On how it apparently is called it fifty to face Arizona. I think he's going to be game time decision. On. Antonio Pittman would be the guy otherwise so out of money on Sunday here -- stadium before the game I was out -- the field. On and even Jackson was warming up -- honest Hughes walked off the field. There were a couple of young man and I am one of them about it if you go play and what does that say. Not yet. Not yet about fifteen minutes later the inactive list it out. Odd in what I thought I'd read it into it I I I like that they Canadian -- that sprawling new fraud he knew that was and I you know don't don't like a son in the but but that was funny funny that you definitely didn't work out it wasn't like it was a you knew he wasn't going to play. -- with them the trainers and I will -- with in the week now or you don't and utterly in them out of that it's holiday that's solid golf and Florida. On illegal although it actually accounted for game -- blog. Which I've ever what -- check out ninety and his hatred that comp. Gotta make of his deal he was going on down there. I -- lead on on on away games during. Watson not a critical on Sunday night. Fired up the computer -- up and glued to my computer that's it that's it I'm -- and game wise and don't. On and I was talking earlier about Minnesota out they're. They actually have a nearly four -- he could run. On in you and has been one of the more high flying off -- recent weeks. Trying to you know on my mind. And -- often opens a guy's great at great plays this week at job -- on Kevin Walter. You -- I think."

[50:56]" Yeah I think you're going to Minnesota but I think they're going to get the job done and go to this week it you have guys I -- players on the a position players I think the gap between -- I can -- on the huge drop off. From from the use them. Yeah and how much tackle and I love Matt Forte. And I think that -- fourteen navy by we -- seventeenth while a bit of a drop off. -- of him this week though the coming off a bye so any issues about its workload a problem for him. I think at this week especially going to -- Detroit I think that I think Matt Forte is going to -- in my week. On and and you he's going to work or Chicago he's the one guy going to who I'd like. A rookie that crap hole that is his team's oh lead -- and I think. You know that this week at least a Jimmy maybe the number one back and opal -- like you mentioned maybe maybe me eighteen in my pivotal -- all rookies aren't used to playing them teams. During the season if they'll -- early and coming off the -- Should be frank them genetic problems doing it. At Indianapolis and I threw always like talk about in football -- that perspective. On -- right thing I think I think Indianapolis offense is going to be clicking on an. On I think -- tough matchup the Patriots are tough. -- really all the way across support if Joseph Addai is limited or is not -- for the plays on I don't know going to have a monster week. QB Manning did you Wayne. Clark probably didn't Tara and eighty unions and -- while I I got Dallas Clark. And eighteen and as much as I would like him have a big week in Patriots team with Rodney Harrison and out earning power. You know I'm afraid that he did you -- here two touchdowns targeting quite a bit. It is in right and then yeah I think we have fine and on the one thing is. On and maybe that is more because Rodney. He has not had good good games against the Patriots alone he exception not gloss over that. Give it to a couple of years ago. That is important to touched it two options in game against the Patriots and I'd have to imagine that a lot of that has because whenever we plan. I'm a Patriot place team with the -- and -- be. Calm. It's always running count went well last matters. With him out of the lineup inexperienced guy. Meriwether who. And all whom his position. And for the Patriots side -- capsule was right over your shoulder and on network right now. I don't him haven't antsy day on it you won't wrote out of -- that you have options this time around. But I do think that. You know you can still still -- You know maybe two yards probably one touchdown maybe not anymore net on I think Sylvia -- the option. And not just you gotta like Welker because he's -- the guys need to in the catches week in -- out. On one to you know keeping keeping go to a lot. Arguments in the game for us that you production -- going to hold on. You gotta gotta keep me in there. -- I don't happening I don't often at the week and from running back acting like you know Kevin Faulk -- week. Whether -- good enough for you to start -- clock. As a running back. I just don't know I don't. Think you might -- while fourteen touches. And the eighty yards total. Total offense -- and -- I'd expect little last haven't bought -- guy Mike Jordan and now. -- take a couple of Jared Allen in on the -- letting it. There. Well one of the great parts about having guys like game of the Patriots is on a night game it to watch a lot of these games home or away to attack what in the game teacher he nick dot. And now well opt for the regular and I hope your fancy pick and how well this week."
