Play from 0:00[0:00]" I'm hanging in there. -- as the -- now I'm feeling great actually the semi and so they knew I had exactly. Like ten under Pete. Well I think distance just. It's a way to bring. The final close to well what I would like to see never want to brag on myself but I think they're that. Are pretty good ruin this thing has been a great career for me and I think what you know mr. grant an organization have is that the view from me. Bringing here and it fills up the -- by -- the people who. Who I really went out there and greatest game four and try to make champions on the pleasing. Remember championship home. Stefani thank them and so -- much it means to me to be sure -- night with the and how much it needs to be my -- and offend anybody else. Just. Let's go -- a wonderful night and grain of sand snow sleet you know post it'll have a great then and vocal -- He'll be remembered for a lot of -- always -- one hard bingo. Garrett you know I guess you have bingo again -- you know so in. And -- win this -- to a close and then Vonnegut -- this part of it and and look sports do you know positive assist in the in the in the fans and in the in the crowd in. Is that someone as wonderful thing isn't in -- a little more noise to a to make -- not allowed double plays to plate. -- opposed to coming here and I'm in my voice and make it that much now."

Play from 1:28[1:28]" You really funny that he is mainly just being going to. Yeah eat out lone draft day unsung players in making movies it means."

Play from 1:40[1:40]" I think there recognizes something in there because. A lot of guys like myself it's a -- look at what Westbrook is doing now mean nobody even Smith of the QBs senate getting into college. All of you got evidence that lead you know he's just kind of bounced around of course first over the years in the league in. And he's not a guy with a got a recognizes talent and look at what he's always -- of these numbers so. The guy like Sammy Morris you know doesn't have a lot of respect for you know who always has something to prove. There's always going to be a lot of our -- is that label of being an -- Calero are Carlin grounds that it. And you know and in an existence and about you know -- that you know we just work hard and there's no other way to do it get it done. But to work hard and and it pays off when missiles on the football field."

Play from 2:24[2:24]" I know you you're tired let seasons like this an injury depleted guys insulate that via. And they -- get out there -- senate can -- mode."

Play from 2:33[2:33]" I'm only following a pitcher's injuries so I don't care what MIS is doing that sort everybody's. I'm not put him on the -- my back there's only I -- like -- so I guess that bill visas is this is going to be a diversity get me out there -- he needs me. Hey I'm always available to come back and and you know he knows -- democracy and whatever that might be. You know but. I'm not in -- say where they need me tonight but regardless of that you know so I'm always on call but I really do I would have been just haven't been enjoying. -- my body's -- right now and watching these guys guard them playing continue to have success and you know -- and nothing but the best over the also threw minimal injuries this year and -- going to so one of the things pretty good about what it's."

Play from 3:15[3:15]" Like the people out there and you know they they aren't you tonight as -- can be emotional semi healthy and I'm not."

Play from 3:20[3:20]" And New England -- going to be crazy he's so but you know I don't know you know I hadn't prepared anything to say anything like that that's going to speak for Martin. They -- feel like -- well like have always been. But they had a lot of things to say but you're not always as you know came unspoken. Always came across good. Over the -- good tonight and that was -- there was some matters even Maarty Leunen. And hope this'll be -- and electric atmosphere and that the fans will be excited and and the team is playing where OI they have that we have a big illegal alien and -- into its -- And I can keep objective for the team to demagogues like it has been and this is going all my night. With a big win you know about my team Troy when you're released by the Stephen Knight school I think -- deserved it and he was the best thing that could happen to. I mean I wasn't playing well I -- from a quality got the ball in my hands and you know up until that point I had a decent pre season where you know you can -- lead going into the football -- in return and there's really no place where you're on the football team and it was a wake -- call them because I thought I had -- ability for years and then thought last -- those of -- it was easy for the most and that's the last game and -- kind of put them who's controlling. This and things and all season that. You know that they're real professionals don't do in the second -- a workout system so I gave it worked opponent you know I got another chance to do his thing again. Bit nobody could again because I'm not good enough. Fifteen years one team that's that's remarkable that he's an argument is that the -- I am you know it is there was times where it -- temptation was. -- you know enjoy -- else but -- the -- assists as the places -- one of the B -- is -- thought into it. A couple of years ago and you know and they just didn't feel -- of this years it just didn't feel I have a chance to go play where. You know it Eric Mangini with the Jets and you know for someone that knew me into what I could do but you know it heading into the day -- good I was going to give him. Everything that I could give them. And tomorrow was still going to be needed. You know another one in my career that way at the vehicle fifteen years to go somewhere and be seen hobbling around. You know make him a couple of plays and -- and none of the collect the short run at that time of the handed."

Play from 5:42[5:42]" Plus back down now anyone again. I think what I did have they love adults. I'm I'm still suck those in August it's it's a lot of golf managers do a lot of things with the team is -- activities with the -- it's just -- love this course within practice with them that that was the thought of coaching mom. And I was I've been doing live in the media stuff would -- yeah. -- that's about it I've been around the edges you know look at the -- the try to get better at. You know pull the microphone in -- and do my own common that you and then he knows Lewis hasn't taken single posted this out of of the business. That I do and hopefully somewhere in order of the -- trying to get better. Employment status. That might be pushing but maybe prisons and I don't know about them. So to go to Disney gave me the yes. This is going to bite your honor tonight we've seen all today you -- they were baby you're out here here and everything your career forever. Right here not because most of it and now does bring it was like a lot of news and you know his."

Play from 6:50[6:50]" Enormity do. This after everything user friendly. To say that dude I have played with a one NFL with him. You know in my career and Watson had a -- the goalie and even I wasn't it to celebrated with the you know did you know what's it felt like if a lot of joy and a lot of happiness than you know I was -- it is -- except that Illinois went along. Had to do a lot of politicking and get in there in which you know I thought it was ridiculous -- this guy had a hard sex playing you know the strong side linebacker blitzes. Kind of hard to do and his and I think -- you know and and -- achieving when he wanted to -- was. No great."

Play from 7:33[7:33]" I got I got millions of them millions of not go back. He care holidays for those days losing days obviously. When in -- wolves president personally was just you know outstanding. The -- and advocates against Miami simply really Kansas City and I want to -- They've been listed at plus there's this year in a bigger guided by Neil Smith and homeowner -- all of them actually caught it went down to go and just. There -- a lot of lot of -- lot of great memories here and you know out of all that happened once and I'm going to miss the most is those morning millions doesn't wait wait -- built a commanding start to threaten somebody. Those -- some of the funniest times in bed knowing him and there's organizations that I do miss that a lot. What are your taxes and it's dialogue -- surprise that he had -- back home field advantage tonight is that that was you know so. And this is what you know watching them he deserves a -- you know and we had something left in the tank. We see what it is hopefully be good in reserve for his game one doing things big two was night and but you know listen whenever we lose it is not play safety or corner and and memorial animal -- I was going to play. You know it has guys -- come -- and Luis and always underweight. I'm not a -- policy because normally didn't go mostly physical football salon. He made it -- look good tonight this in the head but I wish him luck in the rest of the season tips did tonight and hit tonight when I was luckily missed the season this year and that. But the but the best thing."

Jets: Eric Mangini Conference Call 

New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini addresses the New England media during his conference call on Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Q: How do you think the two teams have changed since week two? EM: I think the one thing that stayed consistent with both teams is that you see the same game plan specific approach game in and game out. The things that New England has shown against other teams are not necessarily going to be what we get. It is going to be what we get, it is going to be what's given the best chance to win on that Sunday and we try to take that same approach here. I think that we have made some progress both offensively and defensively and I think New England has done the same thing. I really like the way that Matt [Cassel] is playing right now. You can see how comfortable he is in that role. One thing that hasn't changed is the explosive playmakers they have, all their skill guys being able to generate things offensively, defensively how stout their front seven is and [how] disciplined they are and then you add in really, really good special teams - it is a challenge just like it was a challenge that week. Q: How much more comfortable is Brett Favre in your system now than he was in week two? EM: I think each week that he is able to work with the receivers and is able to work within the offense he gets a little more comfortable. But, it will continue to be a work in progress. The more reps that we all play together I think the more progress he'll make. Q: You have been able to force a lot of fumbles on sacks. Is that just a by-product of getting a lot of sacks or are you coaching your guys any certain way when it comes to that? EM: We do a lot of work in that area and that is something that I learned when I was first with the Jets. We spent a lot of time on what's called ball disruption. I know Pepper [Johnson] does it up there. We have focused on individual players and you look at different areas that you can exploit maybe the way they hold the ball, ...
