[0:00]" Toyota tundra just won the 2008 motor trend and truck of the year and and that's pretty cool. It's changing you know."

[0:19]" Hi everybody welcomed the patriot now I'm Christine -- with the latest news from New England Patriots have release number 159 linebacker Rosevelt Colvin. Rosevelt Colvin with a high profile free agent pickup by injuries in 2003 is that most of yeah. Even on IRS is suffering a -- against Philadelphia. But Coleman's running back from injury to compete for the next week. Highlighted by a starting role in the bowl 39 yeah upper Brian Westbrook. In 2005 in 2006 Colvin led team with fifteen -- that. This past he implemented a career high with a two point -- it's free to fourteen victory over the heart. Scored his first career touchdown in the victory over the rest of once again about facing the eagles pulled it went down with a foot injury and -- him and I are for the rest of the season and ultimately ended the Yankees had. -- patriots also released linebacker Oscar Lula was drafted in the second round of last year. With his entire rookie season -- with any injury. In other news that came -- late Monday ready next in have to and the ball was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession -- concert. He's -- it. -- was not arrested the only -- vacation we'll have to appear in court to."

[1:51]" Violent joining me now to discuss what the linebacker moves mean for the patriots rethink the strategy is now."

[1:57]" Well my first thought with Colvin was they would want this player back next year but probably not the salary that he's due to make. And I would think that they've been negotiating possibly restructuring the contract now there's injury issues -- last season. With a foot injury so there's some concerns there but I think they like the player and what he would do. For them in the system now I also think. That cutting Coleman might mean that they have an indication that either Tedy Bruschi and or Junior -- will be back. Not that they play the same position as cold and specifically but it would mean fewer holes that they had to fill at linebacker. As it is we all know they have depth issues at linebacker even if everybody was coming back. They got some work to do whether it be in the draft. Or free agency but I'm a little surprised that this move happened because I would think that they want called back now as far as look you know not a major impact have moved. By cutting and they obviously don't see him in their plans they price feel more comfortable with. Here woods Eric Alexander may be moving into a bigger role next year but. Cutting look at the highlights to me. How last year's draft was. Almost a waste for the patriots really Brandon meriwether in the first round. And Mike Richardson who was on IR they are the only two of the nine draft picks they had 2007 who remain with the team. Kind of interesting note because as a team that -- generally. Pretty well but Colvin as the bigger move obviously aside from. Can you necessarily rule out that Coleman won't be back and altogether -- I wouldn't rule it out I think that it's unlikely because once you get the point where he gets -- he's on the open market I could certainly -- teams willing to give money to Rosevelt -- he's still only 3132 yes yes and significant injury problems recently but I think he can still play I think he saw -- we saw last year when he was healthy would he -- do in and we solid patriots couldn't do when he was -- I think you -- find some the -- on the open market to. Today's news kinda change your thinking as far as where they're going with that sentence that -- use it not so much with the seventh pick maybe a little bit with what they do in free agency because more and more and as we'll see maybe as soon as this weekend with the -- single Randall gay. They have some significant holes in their defense on as a stand right now they're not the only team with holes but I do think that we're seeing that maybe this will be another active offseason from the free agency."

[4:07]" Okay we'll see as all the updates come about throughout the week we'll have them right here on -- you're stuck on Tuesday when it."

[4:21]" For years the front brakes on many have tons were this big you want to breaks this big. Thing now. Standard and the drug it's changing at all"
