[0:38]" Friday November 28. That's right the day after Thanksgiving shake off that tryptophan induced slumber the full. I'm always thought of it. -- all I know that -- but he's always pulled that -- Paul Perillo here -- W boys -- back to discuss. Another roster report you know actually -- back. I'm never full. True."

[1:02]" ever expanding stomach there's always. Anyway everybody else had an ever expanding stomach yesterday but the Patriots were at work the game week big game. Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday Gillette Stadium in a one -- couple minor transactions over the course the last weeks since we last spoke with the -- Leading into last weekend's game in Miami Eric Alexander was placed on IR and PFW favorite Vince -- He of the multiple. Practice player of the week jerseys this year including -- he's wearing this week for serving as Joey Porter in the lead in the last week's Dolphins game. Bill Belichick praised him and say what would Porter have one tackle and that -- in the game. But Vince Redd has been doing that all year he earned her role on the roster. Moving forward -- see how much PT he gets he got a little. I'm mop up duty against the Dolphins. And another move to the practice squad another old friend. And Erik LB you know -- Tom Malone was signing -- squad so you know we've I think pondered throughout the season whether. Or what the pleasure level was with Chris Hanson. On hasn't done a lot of work lately as the offense has exploded with 500 yards over the last couple weeks but they brought in. Hodges earlier in the -- the practice squad for a short and now they bring back Malone. Who has been. You know couple years he's been here with time on the practice squad know six training camp -- seven. What do we make of this move -- LB you know the Patriots dot com and PFW kicking and punting expert. I'm I'm surprised by Andy to tell you the truth because we is that the well because it's not like he's one of those guys that has gone from team to team since he left here he's not a commodity in other words he was I. Sitting at home. And it came at a time -- I don't think Hansen was punting particularly badly either -- he hasn't done much yet and really hasn't had the good or bad of late but when he has I thought he's done. Enough that. Eating it didn't warrant bringing in extra competition but I agree that because it's weird that Hansen is what he has he's a veteran he's had some shaky games but. He's been good enough for what they wanted for a year and a half now and you bring -- a guy who. Who knows it's not like he had a performance like that Pittsburgh guy. In the last game where it was just so woeful that you had to make a mold. So I really don't understand it is to be honest with the -- the pressure on. Maybe maybe maybe that's kind of what -- needs and you know we don't know enough about his situation with the team to do. To speak about that directly but that could be that could be a reason maybe he works better when he does feel like he has a little bit of pressure. That's good enough for me. I'm really have much to add to that wanted to yeah I don't really put me on the spot. I never put you on the spot I also want to say there's an open spot on the roster on the roster squad. On and they reportedly tried the squad Bob -- With the attitude. There reportedly tried out a few different guys this week three wide receivers -- Fellini. His name's music the leniency on what Texas Tech -- Texas Tech boy. Scott. -- mail. And they why that was -- thought it was sort of those guys that are tough and mark -- Daniels as well as defensive end Angelo Craig whoever. And watching film on him last year members and Damon. We get some pre draft work on but none of those guys have been announced as signing as of yet they still. And into the game with a but -- on the practice squad I was surprised talk about just a little bit the injury report on because on the surface it looks. I would downright scary for Patriots. Because you have names on their -- Seymour and Bruschi and Hobbs in. Warren and Wilfork been on the year in at times in the last I mean for a team that's already had to deal and injuries he -- names on there is scary. And being limited in practice what do we make of those major guys and their chance. -- can give you an update on Seymour and his condition at the start. While during our media portion of vote locker -- today Seymour was one of the guys who spoke. And the first question. Posting him was about his knee status and playing status on Sunday and he said he he. That he was fit fine ready to go and will would play on Sunday. And he was enough that list and it was out at practice today so it looks like -- systems are go for too. It's -- that is good -- he's been playing very well yet so I kind of team whom he was going to play because. As we've seen with him and he talked about. When he doesn't play well he generally says well -- heard it's limiting what I can do it would as well as he's played a canopy -- and he must be. Going to -- and I feel like the way to."

[5:36]" The fans can you know the -- build describe the defense has kind of hanging on and hanging in there. I think they need those guys up front I think it's pretty obvious with what the way Seymour Wilfork and Warren. Have played and -- at Indy especially recently. Those guys really looked like their old selves -- and -- and I can't imagine if you if you looked a little bit upfront. With the chain reaction would be. Issue. Fall further back because they struggled brain would put the way it is -- struggled on the and it and a similar scenario would Ellis Hobbs has that is secretary's been. Do you want to find out what it's going to be without Ellis Hobbs on he's a guy that I also sort of put that category he gets dinged up all the time but. Whether he's crawling off the surgery table wearing a cast he seems like he's pretty much always available to play. So until I see him not suit up for a game and assume he's going to be healthy enough to play but. The injuries are something that keep an eye on because. You're in a playoff hunt and you get -- big name players on the injury report during the season in which birdie dealt with --"

[6:36]" the only two players who weren't on the field today. Word Kelley Washington. Who was out the other day as well and dale Thompson. In -- and arm injury. Few weeks ago. But everyone else was there. Encouraging news on LaMont Jordan to we saw him to a locker room he was standing operate today Paul career low at his locker. It kilometers of made he made progress noted when he was actually sitting at his locker. And now lying on the floor with the speed up on your gradual drop so it's been a gradual process but he does it affect their and he was out of practice again so I would say here his chances of playing there are better than. Better than average are always had about a month and a half ago to a had a setback or an -- at a advocating made fun of it ever since. But -- Patriots are relatively healthy assuming those big names play there heading into the biggest game of the year for the second straight week it would. They know the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday Gillette Stadium. Biggest test for Matt Cassel and the offense going gets the number one ranked defense in all of football in terms of both the running game and the passing game. And we'll have the follow up report from that game and all the different roster maneuvering that might take place between now -- next Friday when we visit you again. Next Friday."
