[0:24]" Going yourself -- the other."

[0:27]" The writers of Patriots football weekly and Lori Baranski."

[0:31]" Welcome to the roster what might happen isn't my cast of the New England Patriots. I'm -- risky and it's Halloween here at Giants Stadium with -- you know into our names Michael Francke and Indy hired welcoming and what's gone --"

[0:45]" Well you also -- out tremendous producer Gary Hideki has encouraged bright orange hat on that he claimed was. Profitable today simply coincidence. -- eating anyway we are going to get to the single move of the week. Oliver Ross was not activated he was released he would practice for a little over two weeks but. Apparently the Patriots have decided to control the depth on the offensive line. A topic that Michael Brett is done a lot of research on this week for the Patriots football weekly's wanted to get ready to with Michael talk about mark abort my guess is. Sort of held a roster spot that may have possibly girls."

[1:18]" When you see a lot of research that means five minutes ago. Used however who. Mark or -- SI did which -- to be thirty seconds. It's thirty longer -- we don't exactly know more actually has played pretty well known infinite as the last couple weeks at right tackle and I think his performance. In his value on special teams meet Ross expendable company -- any special team guys leverage too big of a that a more accurately doing it -- back there's so Perillo Lawrence played. I think it's been -- for the last couple weeks with far less pressure coming in from the right side and advertisers who I don't struggled even before her heated so we don't really know coming back now wind -- assuming he does get healthy is going to reclaim that starting role I think the weight of -- played made him. -- Russell expendable I think the pats like what they have back there now with him. In the Wesley Britt I guess has played the last couple weeks in several so he's starting activated in and getting in that mix as well so -- about the -- tackles and -- in -- country."

[2:13]" I mean he has started some games yet lately there about three years and placed tight -- special teams value with wells which which ran across that it has yeah I would why he's gone I would -- Ross was limited his dying -- he wasn't going to play tackle he didn't bring much the team in mind if you -- fully healthy either you know and he was coming off an injury that kept him out well separate injuries but he was -- almost two years for a so maybe you're there wasn't a 100% and in halftime to get back and it when he when they window. So why -- waste a roster spot for got to meet only beautiful we have a bite but stick with the position. Is mark or going to maintain -- hold them starting job even when catcher potentially comes back I my guess is that casual combat but I think you know short -- with the way because they really -- short sample for love or but -- good I think is when he looked better than catcher did in his short sample to start the year my guesses hazard. We're not lose his job because of injury but could lose it down the stretch in the -- said will be out shortly right he comes back in and -- guys running right by him as they were early in the year Apolo Laura there. Like -- and it's a bit of an unknown obviously I was -- fifth round after six MP yeah way back up round Bears. But he comes from Charlie's system Notre Dame last year in and Notre Dame was going to try to -- we knew the system here will be itself isn't as big he's six is that in a manner. And clearly athletic based on his special teams duties in the wage. I think he's an interesting next in line in the hole they try to develop offensive linemen through the system kind of -- finals -- and that thing that I."

[3:44]" I noticed about him is that we haven't noticed him. What you read like you said he has there has been less pressure from the right side of the line there hasn't been any significant drop off in the running game on that side. And he hasn't been penalized early. Which which is something catcher would have his yet he'd have smells of that'd be you know few games he'd he'd be. Penalty prone and you wouldn't hear from for awhile but. But yet -- right and it's a short sample but what we've seen so far has been good so as long as he keeps doing that I think it's going to be tougher -- to come back in and it and if he does you who like you said Timothy shortly found."

[4:19]" And I want to go over the injury report real quick twos and moves on and sort catchers it's the guy's been on the report. -- with the ankle issue he's had limited participation this week. I'm the only -- guys that did not participate Shawn Crable continues to be practice with a shin injury. Longtime listeners of this and other Patriots dot com radio. Understand -- he may have weight issues -- twigs Felix Ellis Hobbs did not participate on Wednesday but that was back limited. On Thursday for practice anymore it's enough to -- week Lewis Sanders did not spin -- week. On the rest of the week one guy who sort of jumped on there that obviously would scare people Randy Moss with a foot issue with limited on Wednesday. Then had full participation in Thursday's don't think that's anything else Torre and that was a full pads practice so her right there was I think -- one of those things where he had a little two weekends you know you put on -- because you -- here doesn't really mean anything. Eric Alexander Jarvis Green LaMont Jordan -- catcher and Matthew Slater world limited participation. Obviously the biggest guy and that group by -- Jordan who. On to the next long nap during open locker room today than it was there. But obviously you're looking we're starting to see this anymore might be out a couple weeks Jordan has been out already a couple of weeks I think you need to get somebody back there one of those two guys to. B a legitimate. Fifteen -- type guy and not ask Kevin Faulk and Jarvis Green Ellis or Heath Evans to really carry more than they are capable of on the piercings if he plays. I'm on the other side of the ball one name that jumps out to me off the injury report that the Colts have a long one they did add late in the week by the way Joseph Addai. Bob Sanders and Kelvin Hayden to the injury report Payton did not participate in Thursday practice. After faltered especially the day before. He has knee and hamstring injuries obviously they have the Marlin Jackson and I -- he blew out his ACL apparently inning on contact practice early in the week. But you know mid week it looked like all those guys were going to make these miraculous recoveries and come back. And they kind of trickle on to the injury report I'll be surprised there all on the field come Sunday but Robert Mathis is a guy that's on the injure port at full participation. He's going to get a test your boy for. On the other side date they obviously have to bookend speed yeah thrashers -- see if you can if he plays first off catcher can't go he starts again. And he can shut down Mathis. That's a strong step towards just it is that job."

[6:41]" Yea he did he did his job coming in the San Diego game two of war he came in the first cornering tragedy -- and in your face up against on Phillips and outside of the line. What's in off the edge so and it and they shot there I think Cassel gets sacked once in the second half apple always and so. -- out of his serve it was because Iraq -- so don't even really know but. He has faced a couple of pretty good edge rusher is so far nothing much with Denver but you're right this'll probably be the best -- in terms of -- one on one -- but the defensive end. And the calls -- on -- that -- and that's it late to do in. I think Matt this is arguably been the most consistent defenders at about five sacks maybe more now at this point had three sacks against the Ravens -- a big win for Indianapolis though. He started coming in his normal day and you always have to worry about Freeney and both sides he can always offer enough protection."

[7:28]" On both side we have the most he's gonna get for help is probably a running back because -- the tight end is going to be over with man like him Dwight -- my guess would be so. Yet the one on one part of that is probably the most in. One last note on the colts' injury report still no Peyton Manning point -- Beltran wanted to point out. Manning has not been on the injury report since the very first couple days of the season so he is not there for injured. Andy struggles he's having are not injury related they are. Struggle related he's not playing well every once. That's the bottom line anything to -- Yeah Halloween. Halloween and back to the woman in Orange and black."

[8:05]" It is what he'd be following Indy. A pumpkin head shore. A pumpkin and everybody's there. A -- I get double okay well thank you guys are great roster play in Tennessee and next speaker Branyan classic what I'd asked go."
