Because it is an identity and -- do you Todd. Andy -- Toughness and friends around and give your yeah you can think it's. Eric Allen Friedel -- very good -- jointly. With the way. Probably the best that I know of now anyway took me like three yards in his shooting under Clinton probably the best line. And it and G -- rain is that -- personal -- along yeah. And you never know Laurie my top guy doing much. PFW in progress part of the Patriots football network back in 82. I still hope to extend for months how much you want to make -- better and pro football over the mountains. Coach were -- We have been. I don't pro. Pocono. All right what. Under the FW in progress and record in all relative the rest of the guys either momentarily. Bill Belichick Tedy -- Today all crazy -- this Thursday night. Big showdown. With the New York Jets."

[1:33]" Coming up on the it would have time to talk about Buffalo I know of this game Idaho. Every every week like bill as now every week these games keep getting bigger the big game. Is the next one and he quickly -- true well it could we rest because Roby today will be our game. A rare game days edition of -- so exciting for a we are going to have time here to talk about the the big game against the bills. I think outstanding -- of a must win for the Patriots I thought it was a must win for both teams and really impacted that felt like that going in and now Donald Patriots most complete performance that he will talk about that will talk about. -- coming into account there Tuesday night in very different in the pay played in week two. Will will get it all that this week. It will catch up with -- all of alive. -- well yes of course. Yeah. Will will will do all that web radio a pitch I com's email web radio picked -- I've away 543742. Number and I got a nice spot in the -- was well in nova Scotia uncalled for because he's not -- Villanova coach at a care package. All with product from nova Scotia though Kyle bring it Africa okay he's going to bring out -- letter again but. Really. Oh. A -- RH he was a walk in the -- settled down beavis. So while we probably gamble will. I acted like -- of nova Scotia care package of stuff that -- very nice again Aram is really yeah. -- over the top what their generosity well Paul I -- well what happened today I know that bill has press conference that was acts today. Talk about the -- game. I'd -- to. Dale Thomas reports are you might be out for the season that's the bad news come and that's that you know it's been a significant -- and I -- ability."

[3:50]" You at times you get on me you know for making light of amenities I really think this is the after Brady is that. The second significant injuries they've had because there is and I feel like that is Rodney -- you know -- you know what I feel about Rodney had two starting well. They let you know they had they had a three safety to now became -- they certainly miss something with the leadership that. In all that with Rodney but I think on the field and -- that we've seen it. I didn't really feel like was that big -- deal. The running back situation they had spots. So that I expect Benjarvis Green-Ellis to do this no I didn't like I figured somebody would because they have five running back. You know I thought that they would they would pitch and you know -- in mix and match in. And I think it'd be able to get private dale -- at the right word threat I think the versatility. Make him a little bit tougher replaced doesn't mean they're going to lose games because he's not there I'm not -- net. Because I've seen them you know be able to get by and pass with with last but I think it he's a guy. That they don't have a replacement for. That can do the things that he does and it's going to be just in the other how they go about."

[4:58]" I mean you know the speculation out there is you call up Rosevelt Colvin and see if he can play do you bring back Allen may be -- Bruce either the al-Qaeda mean what what do you do -- you can't patent. To step Pierre Woods pick up hello."

[5:13]" That's personally what I would do you feel about it but. I I think they've they've that was a good president of sort of filling from within you know guys that are knowledgeable -- their system. Guys that understand how old the Patriots do things now obviously. -- out or Colvin would be. Be examples of that is well. Bottom but I think that the deal would eat you plug and and how that goes I think it sub packages you don't maybe Pierre Woods for a second down Fred. In a package may be a combination of Gary Guyton who's gotten a lot of work in various spots and in a pack. You can you you continue to increase his workload at -- to get by. Maybe for depth you you bring up to read off the practice squad a guy who's gotten a couple of two weeks he's been the practice squad one of the practice players of the week though obviously he's working hard at practice even always just on the practice squad. I think you fill in with what you have I don't necessarily think -- gain anything. By signing -- because. Do you already have a good rotation means I don't want you to move male around because I love what I don't know on the inside I don't think Bruschi. Is an outside linebacker and a 34 he's an outside in a 43. I'm not sure the bat that you can go to a fourth. Well now that -- a matchup I like that possibility over signing one of those other. In other guy we never -- victor hobson who got cut it was here still to my knowledge is still available. Yeah he's a guy who played outside with the Jets try to play a little bit and I'd -- pre season. The network early -- worked out maybe he's a guy with knowledge of system he -- plug in at a I don't know there's a lot of different ways to go but I like the Phillies within okay from within. Framework I will what I say about that way and as of yet another -- Florida for the progress of Matt Cassel. Another solid game by him. You know I think this has a lot about him no we're going to talk about the Jets a lot this week -- but -- people are talking about this game coming up with the Jets. In the national people who are supposed to be fair and and balance and impartial they don't care who wins like -- Derek looking at this game has which quarterback. It's gonna give his team the best chance to win IE avoiding mistakes and running off right in a lot of them are saying. Matt. And Adam we're talking about Brett Favre. You know a lot of them saying. It's going to come doubt it'll make them a mistake now. It will but the fact that that question when you deal with one guy who's making. Ninth start tenth start whatever it is and another guy who's making you know his 300 million you know consecutive. How could -- be in question."

[7:57]" I think both teams. Have been stopping the run very well yeah Chris Jenkins is coming on in the middle there and he's really solidified date they were a little bit. -- early in the year but they've really come around the -- and run stopping it obviously we've seen the Patriots. David doing well it was only both he and stop the run that's going to leave it to the quarterbacks bit of work third down --"

[8:20]" look extra for that you brought up. Date they have been great lately. But thick nor as bad earlier -- people remember that in that first game the Patriots got a -- about a hundred yard they had a 104 yards on the ground a lot of weight with my ticket agree that -- did a very good job of brining out the clock a late in the game which is which is very good for the Patriots. But I don't think that the run defense for the Jets that it was necessarily a disaster. I think we will remembering this like big running -- Patriot out that they had. I think it was. You know like -- said Jordan was very very strongly now lately they're only average about seventy yards allowed per game and -- a lot at stake. Four or five times they've allowed fewer than fifty yards. On the ground and that that -- that's one guy you want talk about. One guy making a difference their run defense was terrible here and they they -- one guy and that can actually played at nose tackle position. And it makes all the when he was it hurts -- yeah -- yeah yeah yeah I call on the comeback player he's never he'd get hurt again. They also they were criticizing him for being really really overweight and -- not to a lot of stuff that you need to do to get back in you know maybe -- Being on the trading block and really for nothing mean it was a it was a fourth round pick apart that nearly got a money. But maybe it was an eye opener form and he's going to rededicate themselves."

[9:45]" What -- we're going to talk about the bill the jet game coming up beat you know a little bit more again Ty Law. We'll have to bring that up as well that's big news but I I don't want to focus on the bill game for for a moment. I like the way where the ball like a way to get Gaffney involved early in you know had a few -- game. Nice catches. Again we talked about the Jarvis Green he had a phenomenal game that I think. I give a lot of that credit to the office of line into the -- line is playing as well as it has all these."

[10:18]" You know agree that they you know. We we kind of wondered about all the act and some of been their -- salary cap all Zach have gone away the last two weeks. And the running game just continues to pile up big big yard to -- It's remarkable the transmission the offense they went from a 6040 -- run. Who you know fairly balanced in terms -- run pass ratio but the yard. The remarkable."

[10:47]" It is getting married -- forty yards every game I mean that was one play where what that one and I think they caught. And Jarvis Green -- got the ball in the back they had a -- they had like next third or fourth in shorts. And big auto mall about one. That was -- blocker Watson has the blockers are open but. You know for the most part they're getting great pushed in by the time you know unlike Maroney and maybe it was because of Maroney a lot of early in the season. By the time -- Jarvis Green getting wears contact -- sort of picked up two with three yard in it and that's. The key and it."

[11:24]" Can continue to do that and not make all have to put the offense on his shoulders and I think they continue to be successful in avoid those stakes -- what they'd be -- turnovers whenever. He is starting to develop that pocket presence that we keep talking about the last couple weeks but. -- to me that you know even more impressive in adopt a little pretty impressive and I want to -- I mean I've been fairly critical but the other side of the ball on the fence. That was dominant that was 2003 like it we got in all calls from Justin. About three weeks ago. It was it was after the Rams game. And he he had mentioned that he felt like the Rams game was an example of one of those old school games where. The scoreboard didn't say it but they were in control and I disagree. Those old school games they were not getting the ball moved on him up and -- the field. In in winning tight game they would tight -- like this game this it was tight school -- at thirteen to three game. Ready to take out the last two touchdown that both happened the last two minutes it thirteen three. -- in my as well and a 113 theory. I mean you don't not I -- thought I did not have enough and I felt like the way that game started the Patriots had come to play in Buffalo was going to have any answers and nothing that happened after that. I changed my mind. I mean I put the -- about a 160 yards of offense. That's domination. 120 -- total domination -- they suffocated much -- By the way he ran hard yeah. They just didn't have -- he just Nevin it would go out and and they put it on China it would and we're seeing you know a couple of takes a really bad one and burst in appropriately -- why don't he was -- shot on by a lot but that. What the I think the Patriots all that a little bit you know sometimes I think turn -- to happen because of bad plays by the offense why I think this was as good sound deep and that. Got some pressure didn't -- and pounded harass him all day but they got enough pressure. That they made him probably a little uncomfortable in the pocket they took away his running game which made them one dimensional and it's hard to it's not seem that way. Over the bills coaching. I think. In the NFL you know. They had to punted on third and short -- and a fourth and short. Retired from Patriots territory. And I just not that you can be I don't think you can pull up. Playing like that I think it's one thing if you are by far away the better team. And you want to actually don't do anything to give the other team incentive. But went went when -- two evenly matched team order -- lightly the underdog as the bills were three and half point underdogs in this game. I think you're coming into and things. On the wood and a nickel for every one I'm not yet but you know like -- came here it went for without early in the game they got. They had an on side kick that they've recovered. And at the end of the game they have a chance to win didn't win because the Patriots without much better well. -- Buffalo came to town with much mortality and Lewis. And they weren't anywhere near his competitive. And I think part of the reason for that -- mindset breakdown tool. The first drive of the game. Wes Welker makes that catch near the sideline that was right on the sideline and Jauron thought it looked funny had -- bag yet that the red like in his hand for awhile. In any dropped almost -- a one disturbing. But I think I might want that play reviewed. It got to get. It would -- out the back of the referees and right there's no way they would have gotten a play off that bill wanted to have challenged. You know by the way he was right."

[15:06]" Because he was out of by he had once but out of that we -- it is on the first replay you know we thought that he might that the Royals -- hurry up at night epic. That last drive though by cap I mean at that point gave the bills defense was a little bit beaten by. You know ninety it was that night he. IT eight REI. Art night -- I played nine minutes it's at that that is high the longest drive -- pitchers. Quite an accomplishment for cap -- meet this guy he make the right and not making in particular ready why do you lose. They got off the goal on Maroney and they get a run or nothing and you know maybe two runs from him at third nine. From the inside its ten yard line and he completed nineteen yards and make him a -- right and make him out over the middle which. Illustrate your point that he seemed to feel better yet he's spreading the ball around not that you know he would -- aggregate and make involved but. Jamaicans the guys and I've got to -- and yeah. And -- my favorite receivers a guy who's open he was wide open their -- and all of a sudden they're off their goal I would nineteen yards -- out by the thirty now. The --"

[16:20]" me that shows. That just shows the confidence that cat was getting. You know because with a lot of young quarterback who you know will -- handles one -- two guys that they know that you know have the good hands and it won't let them down but. You know that aren't a critical play like that that to make a pass and make it of all people. Those confident in all good and make -- that you know here. I am I'm I'm not a guy they attacked a lot of -- but you know I'm getting a ball relatively certain long and I make the play now -- can only help everybody. You know that's what was happening last year where it doesn't matter who was when it was your time you made the play. You know now we can get Benoit -- think -- I think that you bestow it -- it -- but it's -- just. A lot of good start of the page now this game coming up with a yet. I I think the Jets are of that improved team from where they were start with -- he's still making mistakes that hurt but. At this point you have to say that he's a little bit more familiar with the offense with the receivers."

[17:27]" And is not making as many goes right those mistakes and he has twelve picks by. I think he's only had. One of four or five to even one game. While I don't activate the game stretch by. I have the stats in front of me I know he had not last week in one and the game before Buffalo hold -- against Arizona. -- six touchdowns against Arizona. But I they I think he had three picks in the -- eighty win okay on that kind of made that -- was sort of a gain that. I think you know me she's been on him and that's been the other big story line in New York and worked on the preview this week Freddie. On mean -- and and Brian Schottenheimer in -- of you know imploring and you just need to take care of the offense -- it you know the ball better. And -- hate that term game manager thought. But he's understanding in the -- in he's saying the right things now and I think he's looking and hey you know what the defense is a little bit better. I have a running game a little bit here with Thomas Jones who pretty quietly is putting together pretty good he's -- I don't think he's a great running back by any stretch but -- second in the AFC in rushing. He's a pretty good outback they have decent receivers with Coles and Cotchery and and Chansi Stuckey and and the tight ends have been chipping in a little bit Leon Washington -- is Kevin Faulk you know. Point 222 point oh what -- you -- line is getting -- he's not been really -- a lot of pressure. Oh I think that he finally started -- that the way to Mangini as it is I want you to keep the driver in the bag. Don't need to throw it all over the field every single week right and I think that if he can do that. The Jets have a chance to win any game if he does in -- put the team in bad situations. I don't -- good enough to overcome them often like they did against Kansas City when it but it really that."

[19:25]" I looked at that -- you know well come -- throw it forty -- have to -- talk crap. -- probably have a huge day at a 170 yards and a touchdown he did what they traded him to -- to one touchdown -- our team when it was already thirty I think it was -- I think it made -- 37 enough and late in the first -- At three touchdown in the turnovers -- editorial -- for a touchdown yet now I don't think their defense is as good as it's looked in some of these games I think yeah especially without David -- that's an enormous loss in -- talk a lot of details Thomas this week -- the Jets and -- talking a lot about David Harris. And their run stop -- for their for their run stopping purposes that's a big idol you know what they've they've been playing David Bowens at inside linebacker Fred he never played linebacker before. -- this will be his third career start at inside linebacker. And the took the previous two weeks for the first two they've been getting by with that but that not ideal and I don't think there's no chance he's back -- game he had surgery to repair. Something on his groin you know groin problem you know blossomed and probable. But he's not he's going to be off for about 334 week."

[20:28]" Well going to be a great game to watch because he -- belt were Mangini both guys you know grew up his game plan type. You know coaches. You know that they're going to you know have opened up the -- other. It's going to be really interest to watch -- like you said you know you get. And in a period of the -- With the Patriots you know you gotta deal comment about how Mangini gotta you know. You know keep up that up to try to take advantage of that. So I can't wait. I think NFL network. You know Chris -- this game I'm sure that you know when Brady went down there like a crap you know this is that is good game -- we thought it was going to be I think they lucked out it's going to be. You know good game."

[21:15]" I I agree with you it. I think it's it's really any adjusting matchup and I think it. You know it's a first place battle. But it it really it's not like you don't want to these yeah -- conjured up and it US typing I think it either one of these two teams with a win. Confine ourselves in a pretty good spot in the I think that that number two seed is up for grabs between the winner of this game in Pittsburgh. -- I don't look at it is that that that second by his out of reach and I think if the win this game. I think they're going to be right there with the you know what with Pittsburgh when one -- hadn't done I think Pittsburgh is probably a little bit better but their injuries are really pilots. Are going to take a break we come back we're -- I analyzed from the -- care package. We'll be right Gary. Gary's right errors and errors in the studio in the -- to -- it was Randy appeared right now take a break."
