Patriots Roster Report - 5/11/2007

[1:03] ..." week is the only transaction the week. Larry non -- bit eager Matt Gutierrez to snorting -- and met Justin warns that west. Which can open our -- we can't like."...

[0:05]" But into the thrust of what for all the ethnic. And Rembrandt."

[0:16]" Yeah laughter -- have to suppress this -- it's exciting moment right here tonight and what about him I'm and a."

[0:32]" I think once again and we are here in Iraq report on the break up. The rookie mini -- it doesn't get much further than this we are indeed in mini camp season. Rookie mini camp this weekend the full squad making -- a couple weeks. And -- about 17 or -- I think 17 in the 17 draft pick an undrafted free agent and then I'm sure it'll be in order to have Troy -- as well will be on hand starting today and through this weekend though. I just in in light of that who do you guys think guy in terms of these seven rookie free agent who were signed this week is the only transaction the week. Larry non -- bit eager Matt Gutierrez to snorting -- and met Justin warns that west. Which can open our -- we can't like."

[1:13]" Randall didn't like write or use houllier bears quarterback I just heard his -- the surgeries you'd have a great year idols they agree transfer it he was one one -- recruit for Michigan I just. I don't know what he has this weekend but he's obviously the most interest or right and the strength is something you can see immediately pads you know I mean you can see that right away. If his arm as the saying he would have been an undrafted rookie free agent signed on may eighth he would have been trapped right on the 20 between pago -- analyze how that city that lives on that was -- but the only guys I'd be really -- not sorry for the week incursion -- but the wind actors you know Kissinger and nine Quinn -- yes I'm on I -- Justin Warren right as a tool to linebackers. I'm pretty good eyes you know for the patriots you know I don't part of side who will be in yet six to 55 they Jarrett and and -- a week to 37 a little smaller but certainly big enough. To play -- in the system. You know. There's been an undrafted guys in the recent past -- Mazen here would last year one in I'd want to outside guys that are stuck around a little bit as practice squad guys Bob Mays was on the -- a roster which was on the roster throughout so. Those guys -- get -- before probably more on -- training camp and -- making -- breaking the -- weakened against other -- rookie free -- and gone beyond the -- quarterback situation -- to -- the most -- justice -- I'm -- what you look like the terms of his -- but everybody questions he has -- measurable in terms of 40 time in jumping -- all that but that everyone's questions his -- so maybe he doesn't put all the -- together on the field. -- he would he looks like Adam and -- From other -- a -- browned yet. He's -- we'll have a lot of equipment -- a lot of explosions so. He soberly and from media typically my back is below go with just in Roger's gonna vote and it is adequate for the draft picks. One of the things that I always like I'm always intrigued by is double telecheck -- you know transformational transition from the defense line to the linebackers. We know it's a long list of guys that -- at last we done with he's -- a lot mama Brecht a lot of them for a want you to -- next one that you know maybe somewhat on line. Makes that transformation."

[3:40]" Well and Mike we've said there's only so much will be able to -- this weekend because they're only going up against today's early going up against anyone they're only they're doing drills with -- each other and then. Veteran mini camp again won't fielded tell too much of the meeting next week will will will analyze a little bit what we saw from the weekend. I -- mother -- as a whole few of the players who we've spoken to this week Ellis Hobbs spoke earlier in the week about his -- and a few other topics mentioned a hockey -- down Florida. Training which is necessarily out of the norm for him but I was really forthcoming in terms of what his current data is -- if we're going to see him any time soon as we look at the quarterback position and still nothing is changed with not a game or now in the month of may what are you guys make of of the current situation cornerback Paul Hobbs with his health can he'd become a number one cornerback. On anything on the elitist information you guys happen they handle."

[4:35]" And not him along assured that want to know I don't think any of us is spoken. It is to handle now we've seen over the last couple weeks some of the other franchise type on -- just in mr. Smith -- comments by the way and he was glad to get it done with Jolie it was put his name on the franchise tender Chris brown signed -- Around the kicker. Chris rock on the -- I think franchise and that right right he and that might be it those two but. The other guys have -- you know Briggs is obviously -- read and I reading and I'm not sure some of those guys are designed but there's been -- nothing on the Arctic. On what other opposition's after -- we've we've had a draft -- and the patriots have made moves being made that weekend and with a wide receiver what positions where where you think the team has the most work to do as far as player acquisition and the roster between now and a and training camp while I still think they need to add something at linebacker we've talked about a -- and bring in a veteran or somebody to rotate through give you some depth there because you have nothing really behind -- starting four. -- we've talked a little bit on the show and I guess reports that a Tennessee Chris brown is mulling an offer from the patriots come -- maybe serve as a a veteran backup. Running back -- And maybe the second area -- I don't really know who's out there at this point obviously they added to retain their bodies there. But you know those would be the bought it still seem a little -- up in the air that I and to some depth on defense dream did I think the Chris brown would be that one I think that look forward to the couple weeks it's interesting what he's symbolic that would be equipped you know he still think he's going somewhere to be. A lead dog ago a franchise type running back -- all his carries that I think it's ideal because you know you look at this on paper I think as a player Chris brown you say. Is launched early going to be able to hold up for the full season if not I I'm there I'm next in line I might get a month of football -- right in the start weren't getting 25 carries a game and he's a guy in his own right who's never been able to handle all the carry on my mind to be great situation for him. And then you add in the fact that they are by the way the favorite goes Super -- right I think you'll be you know brain."

[6:38]" Talked about the on Wednesday to below and in any made of the point. If you feel looking for a back up strictly to be -- back up every game you know 810 carries five carries whatever. Anymore is fine but if Mikey and he's alluding to if if -- for whatever reason you're with now Maroney for a team or two or longer. I don't think anymore is fine if you can ask someone carried 20 times I'd rather have that be Chris brown and anymore and that's where I think gave it to little intriguing but. The what's working against maybe the patriots a lot of these guys that come in these one year deal in remaining mosque Stallworth washed -- along returned just what they've basically when you pack. -- can do that because if they come in and they're productive they're going to be able to write their own ticket while Chris Brown's going to look at and say. I can't necessarily I don't one year deal. What they are now I'm going to have a great year put up some production and be able to go somewhere because I can't be guaranteed that -- is not going to be healthy. So he might he's just -- in the weeds for a job -- well I think it's -- would you say what's he looking to do was he looking to be the lead guy. Or receive content they are right let me go for a year for the patriots hope I get some opportunities and then be able to Milan."

[7:46]" In there are still teams buffalo draft right back in the first round green day in the second or third round tennis team. Which is where it came from I'm surprised at buffalo one of them that they would have made a plea for him. Hello -- drafted right from Fresno that there ground I don't think that the they're probably not in the market or because there aren't I mean it there aren't any teams with glaring I think -- the only team with a glaring. Need a running back two who is there food they have right now Lendale white and they'll want him Lendale white it. There they take Chris Henry -- while a couple of young and lol from way back up the Cincinnati -- like he's got to within maybe they don't want to maybe he doesn't want to be back there I don't know now of course and and -- point if you're right I mean -- player at virtually any position your free agent. You're not necessarily going to find a team that's going to -- UN charter and I'm wondering if he's going to maybe wait even longer rather do now you're -- that midway phase there you wait even longer until an injury comes up or somebody gets hurt my veteran mini camp -- and you try to -- to -- starting job. We think -- of doing that. I think he tries to open where it get there late at at the very least play the dialogue game where I'm not exactly -- at this -- of the offseason you might have nothing is going to be guaranteed you if you if you do signs of where you might as well not worry about going all the many can't. And and and you know put your body in her through that just wait until team I'd be stunned -- if -- any time before the middle July right at the culturally probably tend to go mortal -- The money -- my -- heat as the only like training and we saw that firsthand when -- trying to -- necessarily I'm proud right. Well as we look at the roster at the patriots have there not including the rookie free agents that they signed a week 36 defensive players 37 offensive player specialist. And sometime between now and three months from now -- be cut down from that is 80 to 84. The 50 for. And that process continues with a rookie minicamp as great clothes like him that we're going to go onto another subject now we're gonna -- right there with sedition on the roster."

[9:54]" Or next week will want thoughtful god it's not recant and Tucker -- treatment for pulp growing to -- top selling. Act alone."

[10:07]" The comforts of home to protect them he could have come -- Ultimately -- information"
