Patriots Roster Report - 12/26/2008

[4:59] ..." he banged up and we've also seen at times. When teams he Mike Wright and Jarvis Green in the game on a every down regular basis they tend to run that they and the target them. And we know the Buffalo Bills are dealing with -- early injury to Marshawn Lynch but. They're the kind of team that they could he. Mike Wright at right defensive end or Jarvis Green -- right defensive end and just run Marshawn Lynch until you can prove you can stop -- there. Because that or their mentality and offense anyways Cleveland the chance to carry the offense so. That would be uninteresting matchup keep an eye on -- more ago I totally agree and that's the way Buffalo on the play they want to play physical around I'll look you do have Wright and Jarvis Green. I think that's style that you might be -- success with. Against those players rather than Warren and Seymour -- You'd make a good point you know with that no no question the reason it and he can probably get by on Sundays because they built him a little bit Mike Wright played well. You know last week at two. And I you know I think green is sort of a more active --"...

[6:52] ..." Oakland played hard. -- It appeared in. The others -- thrown and Billy Yates did not practice this weeks ago. You know -- thrown in -- because seems like every week. He shows up at least once in the kicking game somewhere making -- play on he has the jaw injury as it was then that means. Com. -- actually read it might learn something on the here as we speak right here Billy Yates had a hand issue did not practice. Flipping over the bills side on this is the Christmas Day practice report yes it is grounds crew and doubt his team and made him practice. Marshawn Lynch would be to keep them did not practice on Wednesday but was back out there and -- limited nature. -- on Christmas Day Kawika Mitchell was the same thing did not practice and it was on -- limited his patient.

Com deal did not practice Jason Peters Pro Bowl tackle did not practice those two significant injury -- they have some of injuries that they're doing with the biggest in my mind lecture -- Yeah you can't goal or get knocked out of action at some point. I mean that. They got a -- a while to Fred Jackson brightly to do it in and Jackson and tell him not the other way around and Jason Peters allow them to do a lot of that stuff the way they want to play well. Those injuries I think and on"...

[0:16]" for information on the."

[0:24]" Yeah. The readers of Patriots football weekly."

[0:30]" Friday December 26 Gillette Stadium. Is the season. They're prep for a must win season finale at and Paul Perillo into a fit of coughing. Both holidays your little under the weather after a tough holiday. No transaction to speak of here on the Patriots -- I was off support that has happened to talk roster. So going to delve into the injury report heading into. The biggest game of the year I know we say that a lot and Bill Belichick really has a lot. But he told us in the press comments this morning he really means at this time because -- that he did that he was excellent week for about the way you know he's always had -- teams try to have them you know must win big game every week mentality. And needed and he can't clutch anything in week to week four. You know this weekend making not clinch with a victory because they need help but if they lose they're done it was almost like you said. C'mon Uga not that coach he has believed all that up eleventh save for eight years. Seattle Patriots heading into Buffalo. The and to take care of their business and then hoping that some other teams and help them out to quick note for the team it looks as it might not be that bad weather. Reports on the rain. But temperatures in the low fifties and bill said. I'm that changes quickly in Buffalo -- I'd like it does and they haven't and India game plan alterations on the way. Reports that -- getting that that's special but. I'm reasonably want but it's awful. Paul Perillo the injury report -- this week Tedy Bruschi still did not practice that's correct so as we sort of expect -- injury -- it was day. Season ending one in the terms of ending -- season he remains on the roster what happens if and when the Patriots are able to get the post season. James Sanders who's been missing time lately. Back on the practice field with limited participation. And in the locker room today taking part in a walk through with. Some of the other players that would seem to be heavily involved and game planning this week with the fans quoted Dean Pees. So that has been a good sign that he's looking to return to action means they'll."

[2:35]" Ball I would expect him to be backed out there I think yeah you know -- him back on the practice field that showed today is probably. You know ready to attempt and I think you make a good point when we walked in the locker room today. And there is sort of an impromptu meeting with with Matt Patricia and Dean Pees going how the linebackers and in Sanders is part of that. I got a -- if he's out there with you know with Mike Vrabel and Junior Seau in the rest of those guys that are all. In front line players at this point if if Sanders -- and available from a health standpoint I don't think that -- be part of that group and anyway that's a good sign. And now not that the Patriots didn't do a good job without Lewis Sanders stepped in inducted and nice job alongside Brandon Meriweather but. They're better team with James Sanders and that role via the -- de facto strong safety."

[3:25]" But all the about it always tells for every short week there's a long week. Well for the season in terms of injuries for every give there's a date and Richard Seymour not on the practice field this week after limping off a little bit last week with a back injury. What is your read on that there's been varying reports. In the in the newspapers the Boston Globe right after the game kind of characterized it as you know they avoided scared not that big -- deal. But -- herald I was a little more dubious about it. What's your take on Richard Seymour his availability not only for Sunday but anything potentially moving forward -- just. Speculation. Does no definitive word but. I don't like back injuries I think that those could be I don't think -- such a thing and on -- back injury which among those reports you'll look to India culled it. I'll -- there such thing especially anyone -- had issues that. I mean you can tweak anything coming to call it moving them. Gallon -- milking afraid anything coming go you know nowhere and you just can't play if you can't physically do something. With a back problem. The way you can with the media you know knee problem mark ankle problem that's not as via. Back spasms or whatever it is. And deal with that there's been enough by the way to keep off the practice field. I would -- if we see him on Sunday it would be on limited basis. I'm not sure it's huge problem at this point but I think going forward if the Patriots were to make the playoffs. And keep and -- I think it could be a problem this weekend you know personally at Ty Warren who has Eddie's gonna be 5050 the rest of the way so yeah at any one -- heat and he banged up and we've also seen at times. When teams he Mike Wright and Jarvis Green in the game on a every down regular basis they tend to run that they and the target them. And we know the Buffalo Bills are dealing with -- early injury to Marshawn Lynch but. They're the kind of team that they could he. Mike Wright at right defensive end or Jarvis Green -- right defensive end and just run Marshawn Lynch until you can prove you can stop -- there. Because that or their mentality and offense anyways Cleveland the chance to carry the offense so.

I think that's style that you might be -- success with. Against those players rather than Warren and Seymour -- You'd make a good point you know with that no no question the reason it and he can probably get by on Sundays because they built him a little bit Mike Wright played well. You know last week at two. And I you know I think green is sort of a more active -- he can probably get by on for game is my point in the short term I think. If you look to make noise here and be a dangerous team in January the way and make a lot of people feel the Patriots could be right now. And -- Richard Seymour. Actually against. Potentially teams that are running the ball and defense minded. Where you're looking to take their run away and make that one dimensional passing wise teams like Baltimore or Pittsburgh or Tennessee who don't exactly a high flying past attacks like to establish things on the ground. Early on on the one thing I will say I'm going into an argument about -- right back up duties here -- look good when you get. 21 point first quarter leads in the at a team not exactly position on the ball -- that'll be able I don't like Jackie this game in check on like the Raiders staff are I don't think in the I don't think that Buffalo will will run and hide the way Oakland and Arizona is not Oakland played hard. -- It appeared in. The others -- thrown and Billy Yates did not practice this weeks ago. You know -- thrown in -- because seems like every week. He shows up at least once in the kicking game somewhere making -- play on he has the jaw injury as it was then that means. Com. -- actually read it might learn something on the here as we speak right here Billy Yates had a hand issue did not practice.

They got a -- a while to Fred Jackson brightly to do it in and Jackson and tell him not the other way around and Jason Peters allow them to do a lot of that stuff the way they want to play well. Those injuries I think and on the -- One last note on the bills they'll they'll -- and comments about Trent Edwards morning. On the daily press -- to a stadium Friday morning. I was very -- praise bowl. Of kind of Edwards field awareness and and in the offense and decision making. And was quick to point out he's not saying J. P. Losman is in any of those things or doesn't -- feels like Edwards its strength of his game and has had more opportunities. But that was -- and kind of stamp of approval from afar as you might say in terms of the about techniques of Trent Edwards who I think a lot of us believe in a lot of especially early -- never once said. The Buffalo Bills have found their quarterback they animal -- proceed. With a young team in the deep -- may have around him. I don't like bill would be of them mine as well like you and I both liked a lot more than J. P. Losman well why don't that is much much debate -- I think that it -- is that -- beat Buffalo has found its quarterback and future and in -- I think that the the dip in his play just the normal growing pains very young starting quarterback all pro wrap this up. And Patriots going to be in the last we come back to next Friday outlawed preparing for the Baltimore Ravens. Okay -- in the division they win the division when the Jets beat Miami and host the Ravens and the Ravens beat the jags course all of that. Aided by a Patriots victory on Sunday in. When you are correct the Ravens win. The Patriots win in the New York Jets Italy win they blow the Miami Dolphins out of the water I think they went by three touchdowns or more Patriots fans celebrate. For the first time watching the New York Jets victorious in the entry into the post season and -- right ball that means we will be back here. Next Friday with -- other -- report a post season addition. Of the Patriots dot com -- report we will talk to use them."
