[7:30] ..." my -- from the Boston Globe bomb was just curious what down. Donte Whitner status is and how his loss would affect the other personnel. At safety."...

[12:39] ..." In this division you go into it knowing that in division with Tom Brady you need to get good quarterback play at -- tonight you're going to be competitive in the division."...

[12:59] ..." the personnel around the division and a team that normally would have Tom Brady do you look at it as you need to have good play at the quarterback position. In this division to be competitive."...

[15:21] ..." Eric McHugh from the Patriot ledger again what are your impressions of Matt Cassel and he's seen. Developments. From when he first started replacing Tom till now."...

[0:00]" I dictionary you. Okay -- you recognizes Eric McHugh of the Patriot ledger. I'm just won his first question -- 34 after for an upstart. How's the mood around team now compared to. You know the Florida start."

[0:17]" Well it was a lot better it was a lot better from everybody including myself we went -- But the fact is you gotta take every week as it's presented to you and we get picked -- five and three record and move on it -- this just you know huge game for us come up."

[0:33]" As the senator this game changed at all in early in the season looked like this might be statement game now is more survival of the do you still. -- same way about this."

[0:44]" I don't get it I mean I understand the question of but I never looked dead it's. But it feels better that way boy that looked nine games this season you know what this season starts were. Truly our group that -- to take it one week at a time we don't necessarily divide our season -- there any sort of you know what quarters or any of that stuff we divided in the sixteenth because everyone is so critical you know everyone oval. And we try to prepare the same shortly because that'll that'll that'll how -- do it if you're not preparing your best. -- think you prepare your best every week -- odds are you'll never be and it's you know for the whole year so. Felt the difference of course is. Our division you know our division. Is that we have. Feature rivalry we know each other we we know about each other goal personally know -- they're familiar with the show and you know we've been struggling in the division for a long time travel. Right now all our division is so tightly. -- every game becomes a very very critical as the division game against the team that is dominated that division social law."

[2:02]" I -- Boston Globe you mentioned pitchers have dominated the division. It does seem no date your team and other teams have closed the gap a little bit on them to what do you -- that closing of the gap."

[2:14]" I'm sorry Dave -- here that go and I could hear the end that I heard. You know I heard the most question Bernard Berrian does."

[2:21]" Short deck as I was saying it seems that you guys have closed the gap a little bit that you and the rest of the division. On the Patriots what do you odd -- why that happened in your opinion."

[2:33]" What's the question I guess I'm hearing effect so it on the lines if felt like the question. It what do I attribute to closeness of the division this year at this time to."

[2:43]" Yes what's your legs -- close that gap on the actually. But rest in addition to."

[2:48]" Oh okay well you know. I don't I don't I don't think about it in terms like that. I think about it in terms of -- where did you know where we are right now. In what we're going into and so. I don't I didn't but I haven't spent any time really thinking about. It'll -- world group like we are. -- like our division I have a lot of respect for everybody in our division. I think I'd probably like. Every go organization in -- week we look look at all of our. Offseason we looked at what they do have free agency. We looked at what they did in the draft we felt like everybody had improved. You know we -- would be yes. It's always seems to be a struggle. And it's -- struggle you you hope you find yourself. In the middle. As opposed to well it's been like for us anyway in the past that. Few years you know a little -- But I don't I don't have any. I don't have any answers for why I'm just glad that were right in the certificate."

[3:57]" Stick to losing streak to the Patriots. I know everybody in the division has had trouble with the new in particular. How much if any does that impact. This game."

[4:08]" Again I'm not on here. Like -- we'll get back on but I. But I I believe. You know the fact that they've. They'd be passionate and beat in this silently. You know it definitely has an effect of sure it has an effect on them too. In terms of their conferences. Playing. And and we just it'll hold. Yeah we have to deal with -- we've been on the losing end and as a player definitely. So we'll get a Good Friday but. They'll try to gain a little ground -- guys are awfully good you know they're awfully good. From top to bottom organizationally. Tell applies -- it -- fortunately. They really do a terrific job."

[4:57]" Tom -- from NBC sports dot com. My question is is this. Losing streak in difficulty. -- you've entered into is -- part of the maturation process. For young team. Is it makes it's strides to get to that. Higher level of."

[5:16]" I don't know. You know we think we are young and it has some spot -- our our ballclub. Well I like should just so you're like secured correct thing I like to work ethic. Oh lead in you know recent weeks and it in the weeks we've played very good opponents -- very good opponents to -- victories over. We've made you know we've made errors in the game. And that there -- certain errors and every coach. Every team talked about -- the we start the call over to make time up. I would give up too many big plays in order to win the football but. I've -- all proud of the way our guys fight you know they don't think this stadium that they'd get it. Lose heart but it disappoints himself so we all we all get disappointed. That we battled back to work and see if we can improve. You know we know that if we you know afford -- don't play our best hitter. This week -- don't have much of a chance you know we can't get which hits the ball over we can't give up the big play. And I think we think in the beauty of it is of this -- belt level. -- in history and they have the history awarded."

[6:30]" Tom Tom Carnegie avenue Q so you can't really say okay we're young. This happens. We will deal with that he just you have to hold them to a standard of a maturity I suppose when your. Trying to play at this level."

[6:46]" I think I'm just go out but you know you you point out the errors all the time obviously that's what. What coach what. Coaching is we don't accept the the errors regardless of who makes some. In world you know world professional football and so we expressed our players like professional level. And the guys work I mean it worked hard all week to get ready yet as I mentioned earlier there -- so disappointed what. In themselves and for all of us one. When things happening games but can you hold them accountable. You don't actually chaotic chaotic exception. -- we -- we won't be relative PP. It for what what we all just if we -- Sir Percival."

[7:30]" Yeah this is my -- from the Boston Globe bomb was just curious what down. Donte Whitner status is and how his loss would affect the other personnel. At safety."

[7:41]" Well both Daunte. Has that shoulder we'll just have to wait and see you know through the week. Where that goes. And if we you know we can't obviously we'd rather have him on the field and have it off the field watching. What somebody steps off it opens up opportunities for somebody else that we. Fully expect that whoever plays. I thought our notebook not a candidate the -- it and so it ably. We've got to that --"

[8:18]" Media which at least talk about the sport of -- about him you know the next man up because you're certainly experienced that last year. -- Spirit of the season to a lesser extent."

[8:30]" You have you always and we know our game and everybody in the -- suffered injuries. Yeah it's it's a tough game that there's lots of nobody probably nobody on the field is a hundred -- I want one -- Start trying to camp and start working as hard as he is our business work -- and play what part is that play play every Sunday. It's you know it there's burgers or Christian -- unfortunately. And we all go through it totally the other backups are critically important. You know again the back -- to the back you know what you personalize it should move through it has obviously. If you're you're -- back it's a critical special teams performer -- if they get double duty. That wears them down and work a little bit and so. You really give it really does take its toll over time Rivera says everybody's got a they have to deal with the."

[9:28]" This gave up mentors daily news on. He stuck around what the great strides that Trent Edwards has made out from -- from last you're going to lose here."

[9:36]" I would say I would say that he's improved in every area -- really it would I give them a lot of credit these. He's worked awfully hard in the offseason. In every way bonds are sealed off the field. You know the weight room. Wouldn't -- pressure. But just sit -- every way. That she's done everything that he can't possibly do. To give us the best chance to win and give himself the best chance one. That wouldn't I wouldn't say they were said he wanted to one area. But he was. -- is an impressive young player when he came series. He's just more impressive. That he's getting better I think -- just keep getting better because it works awfully hard that it's very important point."

[10:22]" Tickets Albert and sporting."

[10:27]" things are going well. Well I think the number one thing -- there have the right guy you know if you don't have the right guy could. It's not going to make a whole lot of difference what you say you -- so they got to. You know they've got to be. The large degree they gotta be self motivated guys -- because it's. -- really care about our football team. Hopefully -- more ability or as much as they care about their own individual performance. Hopefully they're indoor team but just -- much -- I would say maybe that we have a good group so. Makes it that part of our job. A little bit easier you know all of them are used to say it all the time the way we're motivated team -- it definitely motivated people for. That is a lot -- that. Day."

[11:18]" Albert prayer from sporting news I just wondered how much you guys can draw. Who was on the -- you have now much he has can draw from what you guys went through last year starting forty some odd guys."

[11:31]" Boy I think to some degree but there's you know there's. I don't know if there's a lot of carry over. You're here. It less sure of the question and one of those things that's just constantly winning -- Yeah. Word for word the word out of position or trying to get. Consistently winning football. In terms of learning how to deal with the injury. That we got a lot of practicing -- adult. Not certain. Well not for what it. But it does warrior. I think the main thing is what we just gotta finish talk about process. That's sort of the character of your team. Type of people you. In this. That -- tip my hat to those who are they're good they're good guys and work part. They want it to go well for themselves and for all of."

[12:28]" David Chris Gasper of the Boston Globe again just listening talking and saying the Nazis and being competitive in the division. He look at the personnel on the other teams you also mentioned Trent. In this division you go into it knowing that in division with Tom Brady you need to get good quarterback play at -- tonight you're going to be competitive in the division."

[12:49]" I. I really like I couldn't understand most of -- Soria. The decision to tackle on the line."

[12:57]" The question was when you look at the personnel around the division and a team that normally would have Tom Brady do you look at it as you need to have good play at the quarterback position. In this division to be competitive."

[13:11]" I don't know I think there was something about the quarterback for the division yes important the play above is yes and it did you know it's. And it's. In our if I'm not answer chart but -- you know our game obviously the quarterback is. It is probably. Because -- say you hopefully without hurting anybody else's feelings probably the critical -- football. And it can be if you have that. You've got to be -- around him you know everywhere else got to do everything else pretty well are very well could go but if you have that guy he's always going to give you and your team. A chance to win because they're always going to feel like they have a chance to win. That is critically important so. You've got to have that that guy at the -- It's just such a struggle you know just such a struggle if you don't. What set anywhere near. -- to the court."

[14:07]" Yes thank you -- yes. I think it gave up in the Torsten is again on the past couple weeks on the seems like Trent has been under -- little bit more pressure. -- like fumbles and night for couple picks last week and then with the pot -- for -- we didn't see teams bring -- more pressure over the last couple weeks contract."

[14:26]" Not say. I would say that was probably. Probably prove but I don't know are significantly more. Because they almost every week in our league they're gonna put pressure. You get pressure and if you're young quarterback. You see significant amount of it. Until have you heard in also if you consistently heard of that obviously there. That the offense is going to think. Horrible horrible what they're would have been -- with. But if they want to go that route to get shipped to the extent that it's sold so well. I would say that the we probably have seen a little more pressure. That it -- that the the difference. What you wanted in the divisional play -- single 44 national appeal the verdict Arafat's pose a little different problems for a we've got to handle better that we."

[15:21]" Eric McHugh from the Patriot ledger again what are your impressions of Matt Cassel and he's seen. Developments. From when he first started replacing Tom till now."

[15:32]" But he's got a really good job by you know impressed by his arm strength impressed by the way she can handle well. You know it's just shots that are necessary. Their scheme. Appears to be calm on the field doesn't appear is that that you rattled very easily so. Get really good size always. Just to -- down the field appears that he's got good vision of the field. You know -- up another open looks like another smart you know our personnel move that. They've done a really nice job developing. That -- That impressed by. Where else."

[16:12]" Sitting here in New England if anyone else wants to jump in. Since been ranked -- appreciate it."
