Play from 0:44[0:44]" That's -- weekly keep keep mixing employer's -- apartment on Bennett you go down. When Brian --"

Play from 0:53[0:53]" Welcome them and you load we are. Being. Playoff spot -- I'm actually coming you. From San Jose California -- just like two months ago on the Patriots need their way out -- instead of all week in between west coast games. They're doing it again. -- argument again. So why so. -- coming from out here actually recording -- show so as always we laughed at your nails up but just you know what you're looking to show this on this particular occasion. Short prerecorded but -- York hatred dot com is our email address is happening spots -- that ops next week. Com -- are you from outside of the Bay Area that it was good luck. I face the Rangers. Thanks for that yet we try to do allot -- much we can't not exactly live this -- we hope you understand. Great yeah out here and up all on the -- will be able to bring you. It is load out and what is clearly at. Important week if you're still alive congratulations to you best of luck in the playoffs. I can you beat myself. One I came into the final week he's in our lives in both of them for final spot that actually -- placed in both of my duties would. Top sport event and not it and -- one of them did not that you're -- and the others hope they're excited to be you know one of and out of sports you don't advocate. Once you. Part of my who has had a dominant yourself going to be -- and not get beat our question marks on my team most importantly jokes -- died but fortunately. I also Dominic Rhodes on and so UW week out that decision but towards Dominic Rhodes and -- certainly one dominant. Storyline. Well this weekend running back situation. In Indianapolis. Just the having at this point -- all the way around. -- games here are some really low performance it's spoke great sports. But Dominic Rhodes one more capable back up so. -- more shot it looks at this point it looks as though he well. Option. We got a few other situations but look at the Minnesota quarterback situation. Frank Gore just go definitely some interest in situations that talk about Tibet outlets first a quick look back -- four last week. But the performances in the NFL that for a -- note from -- standpoint I'll start with quarterbacks I just nod goes to -- match on here who had certainly the high -- state forward fourteen are active. Yard touchdown and interception for -- Houston and the final moments. -- stand up performances from may yet touchdowns -- perception -- and it scored three touchdowns no interceptions. And they -- still Rivers and Seneca Wallace probably -- surprise QB. -- of the week. I can't the hatred he certainly did not police came to win. Not losing the -- as we all know in the final ends there three touchdown passes no interceptions but two of those touchdown passes go. -- Deion Branch former Patriot operate at a huge and two touchdowns. And and that oddball play were ya reached 63 yards joking you -- lot of issues so it's wide receivers -- obviously -- sports. And -- that was his first three touchdowns an opportunity for a touchdown category -- project curse hit two touchdowns no extra. 321. Yards Monday Night Football against Carolina but you're losing that game but Garcia. A couple of touchdown passes there Jay Cutler had a pair were reached had a clear shot -- Aaron Rodgers all had a pair Rogers and still wrong interceptions -- welcome. Close to 300 yard passing like Kyle Orton threw touchdown. And upset obviously we will get back capsules situation out last week -- touched outcast. And now. No interceptions to a sixty yards and -- fortunately. Just devastating Turner's that's for him. From a personal family standpoint with the -- father earlier this week out the teams on the west coast that's where he's from. So -- Fortunately you worked fortunately at all but he's that close enough that private account -- all. All signs point to Cassel looked ready to go play on Sunday. A question that is obviously. Don't want to answer until they go through it unfortunately it happened is how do you perform on the like best and acting like a lot of athletes. -- our -- few years ago. Sort uses this as a tribute to you know luck or not start or Europe. Or just await the water on auto that member and -- Cassel. But seeing what I think all expectations that play and from a standpoint which obviously is. Far from new priorities here but from a standpoint if you look out -- QB rankings this week. A capsule for. -- readers are much of other quarterback performances know what I carry on that air touchdown well. Well last week for Tennessee. Their lot over Cleveland to -- in addition to that and up. -- like Kurt Warner to a 39 yards a touchdown -- that hit. Arizona as well or should they change division title which is impressive for that organization that. When we get out of the lower your quarterbacks. J. P. -- can Dorsey. I think predictably he's got a miserable. Performances to keep aren't very good step in. -- And dot Buffalo losing it capped by Cleveland it was -- of Tony -- receptions one -- worked -- I that he had just terrible performance. Dallas we expect it and -- it yet. In the final score final game but Antowain thirteenth with a twenty Romo interception returned all the way by DeShea Townsend for a touchdown so I don't agree performance but -- personally I don't see bounce back game. For -- this week. Against the Giants at home that's just I don't think I don't agree much Romo this week you're -- one index standpoint it all revolve around yet -- Williams he -- how bout which. Do these last few weeks turning it -- and Odyssey turned into an MVP candidate that Indian EP but. The way he's performed for and reduce heat seeking Carolina's outstanding. Two touchdowns 186 yards for a Williams on Monday Night Football part Westbrook about him 100. 31 yards rushing 72 are keeping a touchdown in both categories Chris Johnson -- a 130 security. A couple a 22 touchdown performance by Jon Stewart mentioned Williams actually extra order that running it and it. Williams and Stewart are there really working well I got together. And all also -- point that. -- can churn out. A couple of other hundred yard games right -- four yards and touchdowns you Slaton 120 yards and no touchdowns however it computers -- hundred yard mark also without a score and got ample other running backs reached the end zone Tomlinson. Well it's such status is -- Wendell white 99 art and a touchdown. -- York Michael term -- yardage and also Ron -- but those guys reached the end zone. At a quarter point that you want in -- up some numbers. Are now last week in week fourteen. Are wide receivers. -- forty -- this was just out performed for him. I was lucky enough to have one like teams however. Which it will be that I did not make the playoffs so what what went up to their 200 yards. They're sports in net really treatment at that point in time to form their top 148. Yard touchdown and -- For sixty yards and let out for Kevin Walter 164 yards Roddy White Wes Welker for four yards didn't score that important virtue but -- much -- Dusty is a 117 yards and a touchdown but other -- to score on reached fourteenth -- Johnson Marvin Harrison partridge are. Mark Fitzgerald there -- have beat your -- Torre allow. Bryant Johnson and Terrell Owens and agent Tony Romo I don't think you can have quite a big sport I also agree that that that would for Carolyn. I don't see much I -- on Sunday -- of frustration in Dallas. And -- needed it yet intact Romo and Carol Owens. Wide receivers. Surprised. Tony Gonzales for the touchdown. And 73 yards Hughes scoring machine has always at tight end. Just struggle -- John Carlson for Seattle -- but really I thought he had I catch it. Eric and a touchdown -- Visanthe Shiancoe who had doubt. 65 yards and catch -- it was performance I think. It was more post can't. Calculus lecture you'd agree according to situations. Minnesota for this topic Shiancoe. Article lighthearted one but. Interest on the last Greg -- fifty yards and a touchdown Donald Lee -- well forty yards and a touchdown Anthony. It's Otto scored Desmond Clark scored just protection art but hey you're tied it reached -- that -- Jason -- had 62 yards no touchdowns but. Doesn't look like it looked like -- Tony romo's errant passes were heading his -- all guys that take some blame but. Like I -- Jason Witten would -- was more blame those in completions. From a defensive standpoint -- Vicente. -- at least -- rated -- this year but. When -- that he -- that all -- out the -- three interceptions than they only allowed three point that -- ankles not Cardinals and short situation. One pick to fumble recoveries -- you're going up against Dallas and good. A good offense but the Steelers week in week out will be what kind of he it really apt outstanding distort it. Pretext to fumble recoveries in. In that particular thirteen point cute Dallas Cowboys the Ravens it's Washington Dolphins. In Buffalo. Charges in Oakland were among the other senses what's it out before. So we've got little bit recap here we fourteen. And that out which it. It's playoff time Patriot your here in the Bay Area play against the Raiders at tonight's game at the world and Chicago. The orange high powered offense Chicago each sent that it did play stellar football and WG think how that matchup but turns out. I like et cetera what are we are in the west coast here what the Patriots recording the show our earlier in the day so at become Q what -- your life. We can't do it -- or not come July odd couple the other key matchup this weekend that I have my eyes on as you lot. Each for Indianapolis. Indianapolis in the stretch where they just -- he's just somebody the -- actually dregs of yet felt that continues this week hosting Detroit obviously you figure that like in Indianapolis way to -- which -- but I kept I kept its net toward running back in this game I think you -- if -- update on the party thrown a ball. -- obviously don't like that off but overall but I think it's like my apt. An ability to use image a little bit on the ground in Indianapolis Minnesota Arizona. Street game because. Arizona offense touched continued to role to play much tougher decent now. Not Minnesota secret order -- that you could taste. Probably will want to look at rankings of wide receivers. While Boldin Larry Fitzgerald if they're not one to they are certainly in top three or four pretty much everywhere what that they've won as well Denver Carolina. -- like et cetera we're Carolina running game is that it has just been so impressive De'Angelo Williams Jonathan Stewart a veteran rookie. They're Aldridge in the end zone not much time they're -- that this past it was sort of I think both had over a hundred yards in the pocket threw touchdowns. Which is just extraordinary. Such pitching in -- well and can't -- at that did there's really no portrait division and it felt so out. And out east team today two teams that division play each other really wants it at Atlanta. Wore Carolina all these teams is it their all straw if there were different division -- like that he could be division winners -- the Tampa -- Atlanta's very tree at what. You know you -- to update it offensively. The other night in game but you out into form -- Italy it's up state they're eight I gotta respect what they're doing right outright like really emerging as the absolutely -- you personally and Michael -- I don't know anyone really knew what you know you're Michael -- an -- writer argues breakdown a couple of problems that. But sort of one of those situations are almost you -- you -- you -- compare look to LaMont Jordan 45 years ago or Oakland. -- backup. With the -- that -- mark for awhile and not you know. Capable back up and and besides the conference. You don't really know what you can get on these backups. When they went exhibit colon or Michael Turner proving that he. Truly deserved opportunity I have to backed up with thomas' -- that that back in my as well few others Washington's Eddie. -- just go by in Seattle St. Louis Buffalo at Jets obviously it to begin. The Patriots any team -- any game while Buffalo outs art Jets in Baltimore it's I think for the Patriots in eagle but in. City Green -- Jacksonville Tennessee played Houston. It's -- Baltimore. And that the Dallas Cowboys host Giants and -- at night Philadelphia Cleveland. On Monday night. -- so we -- to a few your emails so what has that you can do afridi intelligent we are what you lot are recorded total you'll get your Eagles during shall we have a -- and can't get to those interested that you are listening.

Play from 19:07[19:07]" He bowed out we just eat -- this day. That you from the Bay Area with the Patriots. I won't quite Robin yeah that the weather situation out here all the players from what I gather battle better opt out -- in it in New England but. The beginning of the week. Don't get -- called out not Foxboro. We had. Dice pleasant weather here so I figured I'd mention -- don't want to -- don't we're really getting checked out like back. The that is one of the benefits are definitely one of them coming out here for a week is the weather's so. It's been pleasant so far. As Patriots. That's -- over the Seahawks security for the Raiders in -- they said that yesterday that really all. Ought to the last couple weeks it it virtually playoff. That. Every single game is is a must win it got to look at it that way you know life now now literally -- when it. Now they'll be eliminated they lose this week but they're treating it must when it went out and it helped. We could get the playoffs on the stickers that this week it seems like. Division is more capable -- we seem like the wildcard more capable that kind of varies week to week look at you know tight right now Jets Dolphins. Division leader just behind Baltimore Colts for. Wild card -- so. Great we. Reached -- intriguing games scoreboard watch all that so -- we -- tight end awards Chicago. Obviously. -- interest but editors in. An edge again on the last. What to do a lot of few emails here first from my cabinet state or Georgia. Brian first off I want to thank you for the last minute advice last week accurate bison starting this idiot are you at all but they'd eat at this quick getaway. 81 place might lead heading into the the playoffs going nude at the GDP that is going to get absolutely torched by Carolina. Kevin obviously very happy to to have help there aren't a market it how to credit -- I I really like eagle at Oakland. Rather -- Over Carolina was quick note that I expect Carolina -- that much of I performed against -- now. But I just thought you know if if you're that your at the ultimate super it negotiate -- Oakland. With that happened so I've got lucky you are cracked -- but that's. I kept continued this week. I think go to the eagle I can't all get a Big East that's mostly because the Chargers are -- Chiefs. And the boxer on the road against the Falcons I would agree if you get Kevin -- and you go up against she'd stick it can't do change it'll be allowed the division. And have exported against these terrible our offenses at a pitch you stop at the little more capable than yacht. In the that -- sergeant. Yeah -- Raiders offense. The Chiefs you know -- it hadn't been impressive or at least more so -- out of spots but I still think it's Diego is that we can go. Economic decent overall as your great the bucks you know short week go back and -- the the Falcons high powered offense there are really -- not that -- does not a lot of holes I think that's just. Here's your -- you really yeah put yourself opposition -- an -- Tom Moore and -- what do I question -- this week -- between Slaton and you've rested attempt -- Slaton but that had to -- that. Especially if it were is healthy and -- and our -- and -- the Minnesota happy and that is no walk in the park either. I would lean towards Steve Slaton. In this up that'll be that he'd be under rated Steve register to check -- he sent. Is pretty good but I just hard yardage not as good in my bank. But that it said the dispute Steve Slaton to me if you got a right back. Who is of the number one option for his team. He's not a hot streak I certainly -- record this year saying that rookie running back to have one or two after weeks I'm hesitant. You'd have rejected that because I feel like. It is just agree that you into the declined apple wouldn't -- these hot hot streak -- definitely -- I feel like -- like to speak I would not hit that rookie wall. But basically if you're looking at a battle between easily beat restaurants are double what running back. -- playing well on a hot streak against the number read wide receiver. I'd always lean toward that one right I think Steve Breaston. -- cheer -- Wait we but it still outlook -- start Larry Fitzgerald Anquan Boldin one through duel and you know Steve Slaton and get those carries mean sure it. If that tactic down big early need to be limited a bit I. I don't lean towards it in that it decades. But it clocks. Badly towards like. I want more seven the other spot this week I didn't. Greg Olson penciled in as our starter going into the world -- but I also Kevin Boss will be at Dallas bottle they had one catch for five yards last week I believe -- a reception what you think. What are your right all that it. Receptive. Kevin Boss was what do light sleeper picks last week Patriots today -- that we do you vote ethnic we do each and every week. -- I was very disappointed -- possible once -- An -- out of oddly -- also I think also -- the that the better bet on. I tonight going to war. At he get out of it touchdown last week he's been more consistent tight end between fox and -- against Dallas I actually thank god that can be an interest in Dallas York I think. It is a better chance at York rebound it. In doubt that. But it has hinted that they -- ought to be involved at all at. Just for a little bit of perspective about Gregg Rosenthal. We ought to show last week and it was like I I I absolutely look at every week. We both the short for my I don't it changed our he has Greg -- rank twelfth took bought it. So a lot you know as I would expected -- a wreck a little bit higher not dramatically so but but it won't speak that would certainly be -- And I would lean towards archer would be toward. Sitting boss who also lives -- can't -- much appreciated I was like Peter Mueller and I appreciate those questions that -- help last week so a lot of the pressure's on me. If you another update -- week. But it might secure in the playoffs. Hillary -- you're actually first timer first IE -- Frankfurt Stuttgart Germany this is impressive. Email from. From much much appreciated like your show every bit of advice is -- work to consider to a pretty good to be heard in the playoffs Eric side are still knows it out yet W league. And for a fourteen other. No playoffs they are fortunate so paid much like me one. In the playoffs and won two league coach skip W league certain percent most people teams that are adopted that's what would you do regarding what all policed. Points per reception. Ricky Williams against the -- Laveranues Coles again Buffalo. At up flexed position cold this point lately and Williams is only part time player interest in question there I'd certainly lean toward or calls that's not health issues recently. But yeah you know. When it comes down to it I just think Ricky Williams at number two while running -- that I granted ever very. Pushing paper soft and our calls at this point I did not call someone like it Adam not. The bench more of late. But I think. You know Bret Hart struggled -- can get involved a little bit object not quite like that one game back at the Arizona couple of months ago it's three touchdowns and one half. I believe once but I would definitely actually we toward the particles side like for you -- Kevin -- at tight end -- get out of the offense are the last few weeks that very good point. I enjoyed that post it would it would do for couple weeks there. Architect he offense is a pretty good stretch not just covered up the block situation I don't think that can't. But if we're looking like I said earlier Gregg Rosenthal rankings which I would like to do there right here post gate thirteen Kevin -- that so -- Shiancoe Kevin Boss all -- range you. You know it. It took it so -- so -- Week to week sort of -- with some of these tight -- that is if you Tony Gonzales. That's Jason Witten doubt there who are pretty much production each every week so -- I would lean towards skate. Lean -- slightly at Houston Eddie sent. I'd lean towards their Reggie Bush. At Chicago white or Steve Slaton against Tennessee running back up leaned -- sports because his receiving ability to tighten up as well. What per reception. Situation air. Might help with bush I really don't like not all that much this week I think. I think it could be it where it -- the -- does opt -- offense production which -- Drew Brees -- the quarterback is always a possibility that it could be more people also. And we -- exit to be honest with you go it's usually not that that you'll write their. But your point perception it's always been. But they're. I'd still towards late I think he connection Boswell little bit up Marcus Colston. Chicago -- rested for Minnesota at wide receiver. -- and unpredictable but has more upside I think -- getting receptions Middle East are pretty good else's their I always go to Pargo -- Colston are -- rested. I'm Marcus -- Even though he's got it out airport because injury and lack of production Whitmore has been a step up I think we're Drew Brees has brought the ball at your number one receiver that it. You are starting our schools in each every week like I said earlier with every -- you -- in the third options first keep. You don't really well for third option they add and edit -- in many cases you start although it will happen but I would write their articles so. To recap your right -- birdies calls -- Rickey Williams. I don't post April kept boxed a -- over Portugal also -- it but there's a tough decision there. That's my opinion I wish you luck in the playoffs they're virtually. Rankin and and much appreciated are getting Ellen I appreciate it was the -- opposite that you load out here -- Patriots dot com radio. It during a commute from the Bay Area with the Patriots missed about a lot more get through get another email here as well. Accurate yet to -- our staple all from one to -- you look at it like dropping Welker keeping mark last week. Just check at least it didn't matter -- that set out ought to take risks that want anyway well. All I remember what you know last week got -- you were looking at sort -- this is or -- York I believe you're trying to what I factories and maybe. Are you are had a playoff position already that don't and it out. Sorry I couldn't help you -- not one but -- while credit -- it reached yet but huge yard game. Okay ought to abide this week. The semifinal next -- a final cut interest thing -- players a lot I should look to pick up where we 6870. I picked -- four new players already. And that we got is our roster here looks like new players you picked up eighty or -- Tatum Bell Domenik Hixon. Archer were the other one expect Shoppach is what are full roster there. What -- want it and dealt. How would have been one I'd I'd say just because that running back yard -- they're -- running back usual or is that the guy you don't want to have a roster. You can't so like congratulations on -- up. Anymore so little left so what you know you still want back for the -- that I'd I'd I would say that he's. He's got out of roster. And Domenik Hixon you know I went one for one out -- certainly a topic last week that up a scope or would it be an -- Which of the Giants receivers circus -- accurate. Group together there which one would would would step up the most. I don't -- It -- the ball is way that was terrible drop out last week. I thought he'd also like -- but overall I like comic exit. I personally really like Steve -- That I got in although he's not -- on the offense that would like so -- gotta gotta keep my department's attention and a couple weeks we couple weeks ago. At this point in my too late. Arctic mop up all puppet -- some might need it got a week's schedule. These next couple weeks it just go. Included in that definitely got deducted that I had my eyes are so there's a euphoria. And always look at the fact you've got Baltimore you sense that you know that that that are right there. Arm but Miami -- but also like pick up at least. And got it got to go this week. And just take a quick -- here -- shirt wrapped up my that would likely be afforded the jet it. To close out Kansas City that's right that that it could just hopes it city in the Jets. -- a week at 68. Might eat fat it's available it is -- option I would like I've talked continued I think what you tight end up. Is that it is Chris Cooley who has had to smoke like couple weeks. Available I didn't include all of it -- jar Carlson mostly Jeremy Shockey or indeed Kevin Boss. I'd like innocent Scheffler with the QB technicals right. Carlson has been great recently as well cheer right up. Just a plethora uptight and they're important topic that at. Britt wrote Rosenthal wrote a world -- up last week was how -- so tight ends that you rely on mr. In addition to -- top -- guys and our bank group that you brought mention -- the six or seven right there I've been. Very fresh or else I want last week would you it would do. With technical wallet site seems like Seneca -- kind of had his eyes on John Carlson all stroked a lot it pack catches on can be John Carlson is not. Number one in that group with all of the Angels I hit it. A close second pops -- absolutely I like him as well and like changing -- at full strength. But it just seems like oh -- it is more reliable guide here at all but I -- Shockey Brent Davis Kevin pops up. You can do better those guys -- state that you're tight -- you can roll them as well -- it might it would go Carlson. Eagles chancellor they're all popular to the tight at. Pop art to give up on Chris collegiate because what he's done in the past but that you -- an opportunity to take one of those guys up I'd go -- John Carlson guy outlet radio Patriots dot -- is our email address. He'll present injury they'll like it said earlier we are you lot recorded today from the west coast but always to hear you and how we're continuing on your outfit she looked at a few more topics you get to -- show our roles -- From San Jose you're listening to slow down on -- operate."

Grab one today and when you do if you're looking at that you can elect any kind of remind you of the quarterback in the middle of the pocket and now he's surrounded by -- Jack she ran us and let us. -- BP you're thinking a little too much about football. Macdonell I'm -- it."

Play from 38:03[38:03]" Welcome back to -- you -- out here -- secret dot com radio for week fifteen. All the playoff orient company from the Bay Area with the Patriots and that -- about the -- match ups and that figure else's well Europe."

Play from 38:16[38:16]" And you load out of aging that this season is is winding down and it felt that. And it felt like just the playoffs those await ago but this is playoff season. In fantasy football so -- bit lucky with that said earlier got Vikings. In the playoffs -- on agent for but decided a couple route I do that Drew Brees by Mike keeps up that I can't at a lot of actually have I've -- Greg -- as well I then that would match and so. Lot of meaning in tight games not yet. And hopefully for US well you're still all your accurately accurately playoffs. Couple putts here are from art from Margaret Rose Bowl what logical that is called collapsed and as we. Rattled off key questions any answers that and want to bet it is about Patriots beat at Kelso fight he'd repeat that pulled up for another week. It's a bad sign and every defense to stop it -- feel like a small miracle. Much dependence -- that Wilfork and Ty Warren the hatred might hurt again Justin Fargas could run all over a depleted front seven forced to play. Recent retirees. In key positions are top of the hatred even a little bit it. It's amazing because 84 wild -- they weren't going to bend but don't break and they were bad. Breaks. But still sort it out on top of the key interceptions for that yet hot and you don't get Wilfork and Ty Warren have practiced that we so limited basis so far this -- But it seemed like they will be back and although Ty Warren I think Ortiz more questions -- Missed a couple of games. -- pitcher Justin -- interest and got you readers -- actually dismal. You're JaMarcus Russell if you picked up to Walter if you have you know Johnny -- it ends actually. Need these guys. I don't start. I just parties really would be the only guy who it at all start like Jeff I detect Miller a right week as well -- solid solid -- Last couple weeks but Justin Fargas. You know would be one guy but. I think the Patriot -- and it seemed like it achieved it will be. I would advise certain Justin -- act I would advise starting -- better option but. You might beat you all the other one possible. We -- we we talk about that the quarterbacks but I got opportunity. Because of injury or otherwise including Matt Cassel and a couple of the other shot from last week who got an action it's. -- locked into. -- and Mark Jackson look like -- back back in the next from Minnesota -- some some poor performances want to -- both questions is. Well Tavares Jackson GQ lost -- under their -- irrelevant. Not that he actually point it's not just the quarterback who arguments they -- backcourt extra ball well if you all the sudden realize -- I've got -- like he met. That you could be trouble Q so what Greg says Bernard Berrian and yet it's a great matchup on paper but he should be serious doubts whether their quarterback dropped capped -- getting on the ball. Arsenal which is strongly you rod also could run into a Chris Jenkins sidewalk -- Barrett with Minnesota don't get Arizona. The question is. He's a really good year but do you trust -- Jackson brought on the ball with the evidence you know Buffalo cooperative. Yet -- I get a good possible -- airport you trust GQ -- the ball. Pop out of the other one not mentioned -- Braylon Edwards I mean do you trust Ken Dorsey didn't get all the Braylon -- retreat -- for that matter. On that very question one more here Greg. Like court Eric Robert Johnson the act or at Jacobs Clinton Portis healthy enough to start at -- QB. Bodies at each case is different Portis set the right -- and motivation to use without reservation. -- got -- its rightful place secret Jacobs it won't start but that speculation. If you -- Jacobs and Derrick Ward I'd -- to sit out anyway I sound unlikely to play. -- looks like at game time decision with a lucky. Yet start I use him if you start Marion Barber could be -- decision a tough matchup against the Giants Tashard Choice showed his value to work out could be split. Barber's owners may not have the luxury to wait until -- yet some act the players are ranked below. We'll get some of the rankings and of itself -- and question their Frank Gore. You know looks like. That that was a great situation air for him so -- question mark and and I -- Joseph Addai and fortunately I have. Dominic Rhodes well I'll look at dallas' situation in -- short shorts but it really well. -- Jerry Jones the extra critical comments of Marion Barber but he. Sort of backed off a -- But you know Tashard Choice seems like. -- he's an intriguing option but. 2 o'clock start that stuff up just go back that separates two original bit Frank Gore has just. Absolutely dominated the the workload for San Francisco this year. Exactly number two rusher -- As far as number carried eight yards. Extraordinarily arguably but it JT O'Sullivan if you let you start at quarterback about eight for ages it's bad enough that if quarterback. It is number two arguments. For Russia but went the quarterback. And only played for bottom but 86 weeks he'd he'd get thirty carries for 45 yards a all the other rushing touchdowns this team -- All of that right course next shot until the quarterback what what about. -- some Allen Rossum India returner. That's right back so I shot Foster is in the mix -- Michael Robinson. So we'll see if if if this guy specifically for that team who were. It's an opportunity there. -- All looking at a few of the rankings this year from. -- running backs from Gregg Rosenthal obviously as always -- a few would be that the week in and week out stalwarts. In the NFL live right back starting with Adrian Peterson. Bryant Westbrook what do hot streak he's not -- in my start against Cleveland this week. That it's Matt Forte I've mentioned with each plate earlier maybe not it. All that the -- 100 yard rushing the last four weeks very impressive for a while rookie. But Matt Forte -- what -- Patten that rookie wall at all and that's Chicago -- it wore the night at. At the makings of a pretty good matchup for Matt Forte. Yeah what Williams. Denver -- you keep up it it. Coming at a second half MVP of -- outlet for adequate wrote Paul Crist out. Protects eagle at Houston. LaDainian Tomlinson had a solid outing last week here we are regard it are -- go against Kansas City at city cup. Labor while -- at city. And you don't actually think but -- and -- right that is passing mark has stepped. 27. Caught at Oakland and that's -- situation goes just part is just the box -- the -- except. Selectors sit Justin Fargas one of the few bright spots are relative bright spot for Oakland here. And there that much -- novelist. He's been -- injury situation. Well. -- As far as quarterback rankings again few surprises Pete Walker ordered never to you've gotten going yet Detroit -- make -- strong. Offensive outing for the Colts this week. And Kurt Warner in Minnesota pond. At this point that really matter corporate Warriors -- against Minnesota. A strong defense but not. Quite the -- Aaron Rogers Jay Cutler street for these -- emerging quarterbacks start the Roger's court against Jackson though which cuts it to a sort of accident and that Jay Cutler Carolina. Repeat such a couple Monday night got big money that went maybe it is a little bit of a let down opportunity there which -- Drew Brees right fit at Chicago and that Cassel is the six record back are not wrote a world dot -- about rankings this week. And doubt obviously that that's not that into account the personal situation he'd go through but as so earlier -- situations that Cassel will start. That he does start and he is focused and there are focused as you possibly could be a tough week like this for him personally. -- Bertuzzi did that you could he could get after our. And while on the subject of -- public the read my situation don't you wish he was the most part -- checked by pop Marcus Trufant last week."

Play from 46:55[46:55]" Only one big big yardage play that he had. And this week you don't go up against Raiders are decent that had not yachts and walked out the question would ask why is it will keep. Beat reigning -- all the way through or will he -- a one sided as indicate often with Oakland up huge huge -- rating marks a quite a bit. Because you know the top -- active hot water conference call yesterday it was thought but respect for ought. There were -- for two years Oakland if you sort of mentor to -- our strategic ops from -- the Texas Tech Zimbabwe Iraq a receiver. That nick receiver uncomfortable and really that's what pop out until -- some of that stuff you gotta figure option 11 of the best. Quarters in the week it could use some of that against ray mark this week so could be tough outing but if you -- yard we must like the what else. Expect the ball to go his way so odd the mock situations in this week in my opinion it's going to be simple last week. Wes Welker getting the bulk of the yet targets the bulk of -- reception a lot of yardage. I think -- speculative more yardage few more catches up last week but PGA that Welker yeah as a better performance that -- want to get matches my opinion elbow you revenge factor from Los it will let -- toward art could be could be big -- the other quarterback -- the top and Donovan McNabb against Cleveland he sort of a week to week proposition but at Cleveland got to go that. That's what Romo eight I'd like that a little bit I I think it's going to be another disappointing outing. Giant to have a long -- but yet they were. You be happy Q -- last week. And still win the division I think they'd be sort of felt. You know what we -- that we don't want to win the division that way what's that doctorate division got after that -- but. At academic outs when in the out of the fourth. Dallas shot -- and I am yeah -- rising up the board we sort of a lot a lot of Matt Cassel. You know come out of nowhere. -- dual while optical Rivers. (%expletive) ego go against Kansas City is not a veteran quarterback here. And that we've looked a little accurate -- a wide receivers now like receiver ranking Steve Smith. Number one Carolina against that -- that you got yeah Arizona's -- are secure it -- all that. 23 record Greg Jennings sports against Jacksonville. I preach on execution at Tennessee is it doctor Johnson emerging as the temple lot cheaper start. Every week regardless who's played -- I in this case it -- creepy bats but. He'd like you got a good report with not match up well start for Houston's Brandon Marshall six Terrell -- seven et cetera earlier don't QB performance -- Terrell Owens. -- stepped right. Roddy White is pretty much -- Social -- and four mosque two vote at. I that you -- he's got perky but wrote a world that dot com listings are you got -- freeing the deep scroll down and scroll down brought down here. Oakland receiver. That you -- on this Wednesday. -- not arm hurt and it did what those sixty each that I can't tell you how -- Oakland -- it is whatever it Walter aura JaMarcus Russell play and at this point it looks like Russell's limited this week with the ankle injury. -- so what it Walter if you step and an errant that not that opened it too excited about. I'd -- at real quick Tony Gonzales to number one -- one -- tight -- on this west that is just but it reached. Jason Witten number two Dallas Clark ever read dusty tell or Chris Cooley five. We talked about it earlier but -- middle -- guys. -- Antonio Gates -- Six -- out in the seventh they pick up. On is what we're world -- obsessed I was very impressed with what he did last week in it like she might have some report tackle Wallace here. And they're going to Lewis Serbian matchup that. They could exploit that I would I would certainly -- a jock Olson I -- Zach Miller for Oakland a great. Market solid tight -- I said earlier though -- feel -- way to Justin Fargas is the only guy that sugar at that your. -- excited I consider the Oakland -- opt out. I just don't think that the new deal court accurately give the ball out -- and it these guys but that hours repeat their told shot or not and -- it -- at. Benjamin Watson -- a touchdown as we. It's still a lot very eked out there odd numbered ninety. For the Patriots. So what so has been a productive year for him but you know still I ever -- that we could target the back yeah. Q what last week. But -- that is. Reason number one against Pittsburgh eagle number two against Cleveland the Jets number three at Buffalo what it what do disastrous term that's for -- after real strong start they're now like just abysmal score only three points and again at at Toronto and you last week. The Steelers are fourth. Right or caught it Baltimore Colts stepped out of hatred Turco right back and accurately want to know about Oakland. The Raiders are dealt -- So not the Raiders are 26 so not real special and for what it's worth it is just keep. The number one projected kicker for this week. -- in the NFL so did reach fifteen in the NFL which is not a cup itself but it is up for a lot of deep. People number one -- off week it fantasy football and that could what you York vault in the playoffs. I am one of my at least. We appreciate it always up much you know we got we will be back got next week. I'll look alike shelf yet will be a lot. From Foxboro. Gordon -- sixty of the NFL. People -- each week and it fell. Into football to be happy to help you out with that yet. I question. You are -- championship. I really want you send. An email the the most intriguing we start who'd sit that you after that week. Want to be able to help you out -- each week and I I certainly hope that are out there. I just a couple of quick note with hatred we talked about next -- like that sent expectation is he'll be out there and I I think LaMont Jordan it's going to have a productive outing against etiquette where he doesn't necessarily get. A ton of carries but I think he's going to make the most of those carries. I've thought in the back to the black hole against his former team that. I think he ended -- on a sour notes or what -- interest there. I'd like Welker quite a bit again this weekend I electric hospital little bit less so. And I think the putrid the sanctity of the Patriots defense but not agree that this year -- I think biggest -- you've -- touchdowns with that's quite quickly whether the defensive fighter an interception or fumble recovery I think it it went exactly like miserable. The quarterback they haven't done that on this here but I think this is the week for that. And obviously. Not -- this point if you just a huge huge huge week the Patriots are scoreboard watching as well. It's never just helped 49ers can be. A spoiler like they were last week and yet they play by any. -- that Beatrice. Be sure to check out Patriots today we -- it was all week out you're content and opted to load out segment on Thursday -- and we're here each and every day not victory Friday.
