Patriots Today - Perillo's 1 point, Spach in studio

[0:09]" The bulls eyes -- to. The trucks exchanging -- all. Coming up quickly noticed patriots today. We're taking one last look at the game of the weekend -- and as patriots attempt to make NFL history. We got what to watch or property -- in the weather at giants eight. Welcome to Toyota's patriots today. Brought to you side that Toyota tundra."

[0:41]" Hi everyone and welcome the patriots today I'm Christy -- riding the patriots are headed to Atalanta their final game of the regular season. He cheats is that several records including most importantly a sixty you know record the first time in L history. They were pretty and the giants and what's going to take. For the patriots to get it done first let's start with the news notes on the current --"

[1:08]" At the top of the list for the AFC playoff seedings are the patriots boarded buses to have to meadowlands Friday. They have gathered outside Gillette stadium to watch is patriots set out for their final set a record setting game. Despite the fact that they have one more game to go over the patriots in the cold seedings are -- for the number one in number two spot. The chargers put in the west -- Steelers -- north teams aren't and number three courses. He clinched the number three seed when they win over the raiders or Steelers would rate it. Titans have the chance take the final eight spot with a win over the colts -- an -- into the play. The jaguars clinched it wild card berth in a lot for the number five. What trait that should have -- on Thursday patriots linebacker Chad brown was released you know the spot on the patriots. Three man roster. And also on Thursday at linebacker Larry Izzo was announced as a finalist for the NFL's super -- beats me. Players and every team told their story of the moment thing. Best -- Feature any Super Bowl -- Whole process and how is amazing the final round. Coming up -- his faults grad school."

[2:29]" Joining in is now is Brian Lowe ugly gives an injury updates more."

[2:39]" In the sense that there RD hurting in depth on the offensive line as a whole with. Billy Yates Stephen Neal and out -- last couple weeks now if catcher can't go on Saturday of priming Wesley Britt or why don't count him. Would fill the job void there right Ocala and start quite a few games as a rookie last year so they wouldn't take too much of a hit maybe. At right tackle but overall if they have three offensive lineman out of action and now being -- and in addition Kyle Brady Benjamin -- still on the injury report and -- few others so I -- casual would be the one to really look at as we had to send."

[3:11]" And late yesterday Chad brown was released so how is that going to affect everything."

[3:15]" Well you know not huge as far as losing him I mean he's been on and off the roster not just this year -- past few years he's at will be an impact and special teams not much at linebacker so it shouldn't affect their defense overall the the next question is who they -- the roster in his place now that's kind of overrated because last week. That is similar situation excellent -- throw off the practice squad the day before the game that he was inactive now in this case it could be guy on the practice squad we've been on and off like it's Santonio Thomas and it once -- something like that or you know like I said last week I don't see it being someone off the roster -- some who's not with the organization right now and probably not some huge impact the game yet Chad brown gone again. It seemed."

[3:57]" Tiring even in an out of locker room all week around the team. As the five and different I mean I think even Bruschi made mention that the adrenaline might be flowing just a little bit more yeah."

[4:06]" I haven't noticed a completely different vibe. But they have started to sort of take stock of the fact that this would be something special I mean let's face it they won't you know. Take the next step in that they still have a lot of work to do in the in the post season when they go sixty you know or if you want. What some of the veterans especially are starting to realize that they have realized before it's hard to say. That if they can complete this sixteen game regular season undefeated would be something special and as far as trial and I would I would think that in prime time Saturday night giants stadium all these TV that network showing the game there will be might be a little extra adrenaline will see that plays out."

[4:44]" He -- sixteen enough I think six you know you. Of course of course -- and at this point got to think that at this point rain objectively or not you gotta think that definitely right. Got more coming up right after this quick break my pictures and we come back."

[5:05]" I was an undrafted. Rookie free agent out of rice university in training camp with the Miami Dolphins every day during training camp I was busting my butt. In a desperation mode trying to make that football team it was the second pre season game at Chicago soldier field I think I add three or four tackles. Two big hits on the kick off return team we're sitting in the meeting room the next day watching the the game film. And Jimmy Johnson doesn't mean there's only one guy write this from this -- this football team point it. And are now I'm looking for 52 more guys. So we go on watched game film -- their ball they hit three or four tackles and finally after column report throughout the film Jim stops the tape. He's like. Izzo what you call your folks tonight you tell me made this football so I got two guys I'm looking for 51 more so that is one news."

[6:09]" Back patriots and this year now with a very recent addition to the New England Patriots team Stevens let's welcome welcome and thanks for coming down a good area here. So it must have been a whirlwind for you this month. Gets bigger crazy Kaman this couple weeks ago. It's been good so what are you doing up until that phone call."

[6:29]" Staying in shape I was working out with a couple different teams and trying to stay busy around town and house by upstart who started working as personal trainer and as a substitute teacher."

[6:40]" Oh wow okay see kind of -- this -- that down then all the sudden it was. An instant phone -- there."

[6:45]" Yeah I mean I had to kind of stay on my toes this whole time I was just open and expect consumers. Going to the jets game you word for a dollar portion of the only to -- and in. Now having played last year and basically sacking the week before -- that like did you feel prepared. Everything happened fast. I had I had to an offense real quick. But is kind of good didn't give me a chance to you know second guess myself for anything so I was it was actually pretty good. And in kind -- team like this what in the couple -- or what have you. Gotten out of it's -- I guess summing just the opportunity to play again is has been really good in them coming into you know an organization like this -- a team like this this just. It's been fast but it's been good there's a lot of confidence here is a good energy years you know assist a winning organization."

[7:35]" You know a couple of college teammates here -- says that then. Good adjustment right that makes it easier to come and you know it's a poignant it's low familiar faces Logan Mankins and -- entertainers that's right okay. So -- would have it been like for you have been here."

[7:49]" They're both really good players and you know -- young -- now horrible and I think they're both have a lot of success here but. Coming in you know being able to see some familiar faces and."

[8:02]" House in England treating EG did you get all that nice weather -- you that you --"

[8:06]" He had hit as nice I think of one out of sorts on the personals. To have had him but is it's been good like here -- eating out at a football litters of your other interest I play some guitar. And read them and them into you know and it's like those personal thing. Constant in him and tax actually did a board game coming up the metal and we're going to play good team this playoff team pressure. And so be you know be good test them. And I'd like in the game and to win. -- thanks for coming in again thanks a lot of them -- coming up after that."

[9:05]" The full size Toyota tough. The truck that change you at all."

[9:15]" Welcome back patriots today and have a closer look at what you can actually expect from the giants on Saturday years Paul Perillo with five point."

[9:21]" It's yeah."

[9:29]" Okay you get on Saturday night you. All revved up from the museum right around -- get back to get remote put on TV doesn't really matter what Kelly on the -- what you deal. Patriots giants are going to be I think she's been just that about ensemble cast a pretty much. And I would generally choose you're gonna find this game what do we find I have no idea I don't know who's going to be playing here. I have a good idea the patriots ticket increase here's the obviously there's going for a couple things matter. Well probably you know at sixteen and no obvious about Brady's touchdown passes or animosity touchdown catches or I don't know variety of things -- Who's going to be on the field on the other side I have no idea top -- you -- a good game talking about a plane started respecting the game and all that but. Really want to -- with the giants have bigger fish -- they have to worry about next week afterward about Tampa Bay in the playoffs. And after you've been team as healthy as a candidate in the -- to do like Alex has what's in the best interest for the giants. Therefore I don't know if you like me company even seen tremendous my actions. However if the giants take games here actually the last of -- to be concerned about. Number wonder running Brandon Jacobs is -- he's big guy -- 165 pounds and Ron like them much -- and -- probable -- obviously breaks tackles if you get to the end Tony can make big plays. Patriots going to had to do a better job tackling. This defense is really coming on very impressed with the reds don't work they've done. In recent weeks -- captaincy -- that make sure they keep the giants out of hand and doesn't have a hard time going in the red zone. Patriots have really performing well on the reds I think that's a big team. If if they'll both get the leave early to know when went. May be able to dictate how the game is played and then -- whereabouts on the needs some official kinda records which I think it was important to everybody we've heard. Tom Brady talked about it after the game last week but. First and foremost let's stay healthy let's get the win -- still but you have to stay healthy both sides of the playoff games coming up next week. That's going to be ridiculous."

[11:31]" It's kind of a tough one called me. Obviously we just talked about not really knowing the personnel that's going to be on the field for the majority of the games plus the giants -- really. One of those teams just such a Jekyll and Hyde team that can really look good some weeks and other weeks they -- off when Eli Manning and certainly the triggerman there. There are times when he looks like you know corner of his brother Jimmy's making all the throws and doing all the things that you need to do. -- other times it looks like the second coming about Smith it hasn't had any idea where the ball's going into. He's erratic and I think -- 3040 completions a couple of weeks ago against Washington at home. Look the patriots are better team regardless of the personal thoughts on the field the patriots starters don't against the giants starters efficient is not really that close the giants have beaten anybody all season I don't think they have one win would against the team with a winning record. The patriots are not going to be the first and they do that it's. As much as that would be a feather in Tom problems captain giants would. Obviously be remembered as the team if not patriots off the parts of unbeaten. It's not going to -- and -- gets a lead early throttle it down in the second half and get some rest 3470. I'm Paul Perillo that's my take on a giants game. Have a happy new yeah yeah."

[12:44]" Think you Paula the last merger of the season coming up this weekend for a lot of heat fan that looks like it's going to be fairly pleasant trip according accurate forecast let's Angola."

[12:56]" If you're headed to the meadowlands for the weekend Friday should be a great -- to travel with a high -- 46 mostly sunshine throughout the day. Saturday should be fairly modern day as well with a high of 48 it's -- morning showers making it a little cooler. They should make their way out and play any time for me to get to a nice and dry giants stadium. Devlin the crowd this weekend and patriots take on the New York Giants -- a few days New York City will have even bigger crowd of everyone ready to bring in any hair plastered over one million people gathered at times where he balled up. Over one billion watching at home all around the work. -- com night whether I should make for pretty ratty freaking atmosphere. And Saturday should be perfect night patriots can't celebrate and have a great year. Or even better ending any possible sixteen you know regular season."

[13:45]" Kick off -- that 815 so -- be nice night for some football and possibly a little history in the making at an -- weather forecast that -- now with the latest lowdown on the patriots."

[13:59]" Well Christina Saturday night the patriots regular season journey comes to -- right -- began sixteen weeks after a blowout win over the jets the pats return to the meadowlands to face the giants what's different since then well certainly not the digit the patriots loss column that's for sure it was a goose egg on September ninth remains a goose -- going into December 20 night. So what will it take for the past fifth finish it off go sixty you know heading into the playoff I week. What would you talk about Xs and knows all we want but this game will come down to the -- internal motivation and history as it is some players this week in some ways has acknowledged that don't -- would be pretty special Tom Brady among them but they don't go overboard acknowledging that sixteen I would end up being meaningless if they have a loss in the playoffs cover all those records -- walks I think. Wes Welker was that the team record for most receptions in -- season and the team won't break the NFL record for most total points in a season. I also think Tom Brady -- easily break Peyton Manning's record against two touchdown passes in this game. Setting the single season all time touchdown passes records -- most entry will come with Randy Moss yeah I think he gets his 99 yards that would break a team record for receiving yards in the season. But I think he's going to fall short in getting that two touchdowns he needs to break -- Jerry rice's record for touchdowns in -- season I think the giants are going to double team him triple team of all I want. And have a little bit of pride and not have that record fall on their home turf and last but not least I do think the patriots are going to win and go sixteen you know. -- full recap all the reaction from giants stadium on Sunday edition of patriots today the day after the game. For now let's go back to Christina."

[15:36]" You righty gets -- latest lowdown every Friday that the more patriots -- after the us."

[15:47]" and I hope that. Isn't it lovely -- you really hadn't. This year give the perfect pitch. Instant games season tickets. From the lottery."
