Play from 0:37[0:37]" After a late game on Friday night they're doing some Monday morning -- I guess there vacuuming is what it looks like isn't doing you have. Field -- anyway after Friday's game and no game time for Tom Brady. This morning he spoke to tell the guys Patriots Monday. Declared himself ready to get back in the game with Syria to -- on the top."

Play from 1:00[1:00]" Except to coach I was -- I could play last week. -- their. -- out -- coach -- decision not could not get any place so. We'll see with a plan -- to this week I'm not sure mom. On the open almost out there and and if I don't play well do all ready for Kansas City so I'll be very anxious and excited as some other question they have so lament that the well we play in and out."

Play from 1:23[1:23]" When will you -- when will coach decide whether you play Thursday or not --"

Play from 1:28[1:28]" He Bentley and -- it really doesn't tell us. Well coach did two days before yourself worldwide I think I was so prepared to play into place for a long time. And that she decides differently than he does we hope hope hope that."

Play from 1:43[1:43]" doesn't ask you how's your foot -- you feel. -- as -- won't why won't blow you say this week when he asked you that. Heck after shaken up several actually great."

Play from 1:57[1:57]" Monday Tom Brady was feeling quite enough good. -- Other players doing great you're returning after a long absence topic to tackle Matt Light and cornerback Jason Webster. Not practicing -- it was -- out west welcome."

Play from 2:14[2:14]" Right now Brian is going to take a closer look at a young wide receiver who transition from the safety position this season. He just so happened also beat one of the posited that an otherwise -- game against the Eagles on Friday."

Play from 2:27[2:27]" His versatility probably -- strength at this point. I."

Play from 2:33[2:33]" Even thrown isn't the first Patriot and probably won't be the last Petrie to -- up on both sides of the ball. But -- Villanova product has shifted from safety to wide receiver he's seen by his head coach as one of the more original players on the entire roster. Side has an opportunity."

Play from 2:51[2:51]" You know learn another position. So much more."

Play from 2:57[2:57]" I think it's it's good you know given play and more than one position there's not many guys just play one position on our team. And I think there's you know more candid about. After years spent on injured reserve with a practice squad Pedroia appeared on special teams in four games last year they won notable tackle late in the Super Bowl. During the offseason the coaching staff afloat. Point five -- about converting two wideout -- dabbled in that position on the as scout team in the past but now he found himself a hole. I think I've improved over the -- in terms different. Especially with just. You know learn and plays and how to attack a decent and things like that. Considering his performance against the Eagles Friday night. For fourth quarter receptions for 49 yards a significant step in -- is -- capital full flight roster spot. And then offensively he's he's -- this year but there -- I think he can now. -- can play both yeah both receiver and defensive back from -- in -- call them. I think he's done a good job as a receiver. -- an opportunity players. -- game where I want to play. Where yeah."

Play from 4:24[4:24]" control wasn't the only young wide receiver -- impressive offensive display late in the game against Philadelphia Chad Jackson and CJ Jones caught touchdown receptions in the fourth quarter but as Patriots make final roster decisions as this week goes on. It should be more than just touchdown reception that go to those decisions. And -- Troy is hoping that's where he separates himself from the pack. Let's go back now to Christina."

Play from 4:48[4:48]" Our thanks Brian silliness of -- or Patriots that coming up right after that. Right now it's a surprise guy that cut I think he's going to be him just based on yes and played as much as on the other guys up next -- talking rosters in the back talking in the locker. Pitching today coming right up."

Play from 5:07[5:07]" The ring here on -- they have tons there is this big. One you want is this big. You like them apples. Available on the tundra. The true it's changing you know. In this league. If there's a -- About a house -- got to be able to get through. Check this out."

Play from 5:48[5:48]" That it really. You gotta pick me."

Play from 6:01[6:01]" That was one of Reebok's new -- file as -- season a fantasy football getting started -- little did you all know we have our own in house if people I'll -- inning go real bright either Brian -- yes throughout the season he'll be bringing us his fantasy forecast right here on Patriots today as well as they monthly comedy to football weekly. -- weekly. Online show fantasy show on Thursday is featured look for that in the fall. Right now it's from another football guru areas of -- could the bell a check your Patriots a press."

Play from 6:33[6:33]" And I know that everybody -- try hard. Improved to get ready to go into some cases make that Damon's. Don't show where they can take advantage of our seasons. Which had been. They were first -- then. This -- good working group. They've worked hard all the field and classrooms. Learning their sons and studying them to -- time for the coaches. To learn how to work out what to do some of those photos so -- Where are on the field. Down and make mistakes like all he's doing there's. We'll see how things they performed over the long haul it's based on a couple weeks. Nobody like going back -- 2000 came over he was. You know sixth round draft pick it -- you know -- by the end of the year certainly. I don't think there's to doubt that he's kind of emerged as the you know still the leader isn't. Front runner that -- he certainly wasn't the best player or. The player with the most played armour contributed the most to 2000 foot. Just in terms of what is that existence of higher -- but he he's clearly hadn't talked him into some problems with the system and it wouldn't. So yeah you deficit doesn't. He don't like high school sports and the south. It's great career there. Brilliant -- each players his players but I think yes we hit it turns out program. You know I think the program day they need to be pretty hard workers pretty good handle pretty consistent -- problem they'll play there."

Play from 8:19[8:19]" join -- outside on the Patriots -- on the field and believe it's two more weeks in the regular season gets started but there is still a lot that's going to happen between -- this is a huge week obviously they -- the pre season game where -- prior won't -- a ton of key starting veterans but the point is a lot of guys on that roster -- are going to play in this game -- tomorrow -- Tuesday by late -- down to 75 players not a very impact -- and it's only five guys there may be a combination guys getting -- and maybe -- injured reserve. Then they play on Thursday. And by Saturday's one have to be down to 53 that's obviously massive -- 22 guys up some of those guys back -- the practice squad that may again be some -- guys and I are. But that's really what we're gonna get a sense not a -- we're going to know what the roster isn't who's going to be actually sitting on the bench that you and I we won't be here come September 7. I don't think we make the 53 but all the guys will be on the back as a preview any surprises as far as he's going to get cut -- surprised -- might make you know what I said little bit before and I still think that victor hobson is a guy who by the -- right now is a surprise guy that -- I think -- going to be him just based on he hasn't played as much -- on the other guys as far as -- That the team I'm missing Mike's point right now is it is is a surprise to discuss sign in the days of veteran but I think they need him."

Play from 9:28[9:28]" And we heard. From his players -- locker room and St. Saints and locker room and."

Play from 9:39[9:39]" February knows refers to stand in this today stating. So I was real excited about I don't know have to the bar was significant but. Again a lot of confidence going to assume that I can make plays and you know -- offense --"

Play from 9:54[9:54]" I've learned to play and engines apart again. Can't do anything. Train him on Friday so it it won't happen is pompous. It is turning power. Over -- That's exciting. Three -- players. You know beat him for an instant. Street team in the national sports history. So. When they gave -- opportunities. Grateful. That we can only do. So it didn't pass and it. -- Chester brown."

Play from 10:38[10:38]" Because he's going to have them be perceived Sox went -- easy to buy you know there's -- marks. I don't know except you know dads and place -- I'm not Rios is out and miss -- about it though you know you Donnelly and make it magnificently size and I must I Bellamy once and so."

Play from 10:58[10:58]" That's going to do it for now in the start of a short week as a featured here for their last pre season game we'll be back tomorrow with all the latest news from New England right here actually this Patriots did --"
