[0:03]" Toyota Tundra just won the 2008 motor trend truck of the year I think you -- That's pretty. That's changing you know."

[0:14]" Coming up eventually -- Patriots today. Rosters have to go from eighty to 75. Yes. When at least on first and let you know how the Patriots got to that number. Here -- when we've all been around long enough to know that we expect it. People tend Patriots football weekly's top furlough is in the take stock of the 2008 -- it's. Talk about under the helmet we've got -- take on the new deal effective heads."

[0:45]" We've we tried it out last week you know I think I think. This week."

[0:51]" We've given them -- hope right now once he treats it. Welcome to Toyota's Patriots today. Brought to -- side that Toyota Tundra."

[1:04]" Hello everyone and welcome to Leodis Patriots today I'm Christine -- the last day of pre season practice for the Patriots. And the last -- on the team for some of the players after the roster was cut down to 75. But take a look at the deet -- right up it's up."

[1:22]" Yeah where this year you're certainly here and it's well definitely gets incidence -- pretty. Nice summer day -- in the -- guys that are. Potentially you know losing jobs whether it's on answer this you typically it's it's kind of weird."

[1:37]" Than its art expert players were hurt and they go off and some of them give offer you know number here snuck in all rookies that -- or at least."

[1:50]" And I'm optimistic that the Patriots down the 75. Fullback Kyle at school quarterback Jason Webster. And guard Ryan Wendell overall relief. Tackle Ryan Callahan was put on IR. And guard Stephen Neal on the physically unable to perform list -- for at least six weeks. Earlier in the day before the roster moves and cuts the -- hit the practice field. Some notable players not present for the media portion of practice quarterback Tom Brady wideout Wes Welker. And tight end and who wants. The media was given a sneak peek at the construction of the new hall at Patriot place presented by Raytheon -- The whole house a museum of interactive exhibits memorabilia and of course on of the greats would -- on the Patriots uniform for the years. The ribbon cutting at the new hall will be Thursday September 18. With an inaugural induction ceremony featuring the thirteen Patriots hall of famers on Saturday September 20."

[2:54]" I'm -- on the field now but he studies upper lower wrapping up will be seen in the pre season so far because the trend is not to see a lot of the starters in the fourth game. Basically seen all we're going to keep from -- about performance of."

[3:05]" I mean obviously the performance hasn't been to the level that we're accustomed to here in New England. A lot of the veterans have been kind of in and out of the lineup the injuries have been a major concern. But I think you know he's been dealing what what we have seen defensively you know little bit loose in a coverages you know beside -- It's -- bad spot in the ball very well even if it's his first thing. Special teams obviously -- concerned now. The coverage units have been anyway it was actually wants to but. I think he deserves it just -- first and foremost. Tom Brady -- on the field I don't think she's originally -- To kind of judge the whole package until that happens how necessary is it for him to eat pre season snapped stories at all I think and a guy that with his experience and all those games that he's played for the eight and ten some some odd starts in a row. I don't think it's that. I think that if he's got any kind of help at all just what she doesn't make any sense to give him all different cameo appearance against the Giants let him. I think on September 7 who is his back up going to be I absolutely hate that question I have no idea. Only one guy -- probably right now and that's Bill Belichick and obviously he could've gotten him I wouldn't be here so I'm gonna say Matt Gutierrez has done more in the pre season. But at the same time I think Belichick tell -- what passes. Back in the half after. So maybe he feels a little bit more confident with the scarcity as an assistant but really it's it's a lot of work to satellite. -- there's -- so far on the roster. Who is going to be on the final roster -- Saturday I think if those five. Probably pretty -- bats and you know I like what you get out of Laurence Maroney in terms of the -- that is -- opinion Kevin Faulk and LaMont Jordan people do. Those things in enough you know outside the facts of this past season -- on third down situation. Heath Evans got it on all the special teams and his contempt of putback brings back a lot less dollars if you watched last yourself it's just that I'm making the final 'cause I got five."

[4:57]" from day one was the D fence cut off season the pre season and what have you seen from the secondary so far anything he could take from everything I."

[5:05]" I think the coverage has been a little loops and I've been a little concern obviously they're missing us not to Samuel nothing's going to bring him back but. The guys that do have in Ellis Hobbs Fernando Bryant Terrence Wheatley had just been -- Nice rookie -- them really surprising. How well he's good but I'd like to have a good fight and how much -- that -- to excuse this has been running. So far it you know when the season games I'd like to see that tightened up. Okay if these guys back healthy season went. I just started practicing -- let's see what happens when everybody's healthy and treated the whole game plan in the blitz and I'm looking at the big picture now with less than two weeks of the regular season to start. What's the forecast as to what is your forecast law mean I think here knowing when we've all been around long enough to know that we expect this team to be a Super Bowl contender and whether that means. They go all the way or not want to wait and see but. I think that the fact that the veterans didn't play maybe as much in the pre season might be of benefit on the road because I think that might -- a little -- Come January and maybe they can and a lot of talk about finishing finishing it off. Maybe the rest are getting now -- dividends down the stretch in the playoffs and able to finish it up."

[6:10]" Point things -- A lot more majors they comin' up right after that."

[6:15]" Coming up we've got to peek at some programming this fall you won't want to next. -- today coming right out. There."

[6:26]" The ring gear on many have tons there is this big. The one you want is this big. Tell you like them apples. Available on the tundra truck exchanging you know."

[6:45]" Welcome back to -- Patriots today yesterday -- do you Rodney Harrison and more on WEEI Patriots Monday our cameras -- to capture the conversation including what they had to say about the use of -- that the headsets."

[6:58]" Joining us are two of our Patriots Monday regular safety Rodney Harrison linebacker Tedy Bruschi hello guys hello what's -- you guys don't. Bat against -- with the green dot talk. You finally had the chance to have the oh the head phoning your ear in the green dot on your helmet what was the experience like."

[7:16]" I it was different it was different because you know usually defensively. A lot there a lot of guys that look to the silent for certain signals in certain. Certain personnel groupings and all that so. For everywhere just to focus on one person was it was a lot different and also. As a linebacker a lot of times them you know helmet to helmet sort of collisions and sometimes it gets loose or something like that so there there was some times when it wasn't as as wasn't as clear as the beginning. But I think those are systems and schemes they have to work out or you guys going to use -- I get the sense that. You may not even use a couple of -- no we we tried it out last week you know I think I think this week. We give it another go and whether we want to move forward with it or the coaches have been asking us for feedback and we've we've."

[8:00]" Let them know but what I just told you there what -- out there so was from the regular season so with you and Crable who -- okay so you could be on the field the same time. Right yeah yeah it's going to be real quick -- it was just have to -- it's so. We you guys on the field the same time I'd like to that different helmet you -- differently may have Braves -- to what you had to go to the sidelines and screw around with different helmets it was on -- off what are you wearing. And that's I guess part of the reason -- my book which is more trouble than it's worth it the other there was also time I don't there during the game. We we were going to go back to signaling -- I had the other helmet now so I wanted my other helmet because."

[8:41]" We have a hell with that you work with our we've all pre season -- it right it's a little bit differently so. I wanted to switch so I ran out Don brochure our our head equipment guys premium leather helmet to switched."

[8:53]" They risky fellow linebacker Mike Vrabel leads to soft today -- and locker room on."

[9:03]" Yeah I think we're all anxious I think."

[9:05]" That at any time together hotel and you get back home that had signals that. It's the beginning of the season and really even try to prepare for the regular season since the start camp next couple ideas. To build a team and find guys that you've been working -- here. I think probably had one when -- food. In the -- longhorns -- care of myself. And Sammy Sosa. To pretty crime you know. And today's NFL to want to make sure that you. Let -- that you this year will be back and I think the thing. Physically about the system. We all bring something different take it. You know plus -- less concerned about how -- pre season. In -- count you know and since it does not a better. In the matter preparation. And it's -- ended preparation against international opponents. It was big for us. And you know it -- another tour victories and consistent. That this was an offensive unit."

[10:14]" Time 1200. Point. -- place Langley air force base can't. Running back Sammy Morris took on one of our country's best defense then delivered a surprise -- It's so nice."

[10:34]" Then we take our cameras to Columbus Ohio where Mike Vrabel takes his position on second and seven to tackle illiteracy lack. The fact. -- can should they be able to read or start to learn to read but. But also understanding and comprehending you know what they're reading. We traveled to West Virginia to try to get an answer to a question many Patriot fans are asking. Who is Randy Moss. We take an inside look at the man was made giving back to his home state."

[11:10]" A priority. You get home today. Which your mom your dad your grandparents -- give him a hug and a kiss."

[11:19]" You know 3040 years from now that's -- we're going to hit militants to lead to run. And it's continued to keep our country --"

[11:39]" Lots of good stuff and all access this season you don't want to miss it starting the first week of the regular season. Right -- to -- the bell a check today your page today pressed."

[11:51]" Thomson saying the same boat as everybody else it's certainly an agent players."

[11:58]" There has his own situation. And you know there and and also -- Tom obviously had a lot of experience get a lot of experience in the system. If they're -- points and they'll play and there. Not able player we don't want planet. Then we really have made those decisions just told us about guns. Versus. Before ago. Players that same position aren't necessarily accomplished these days snake bit but there's also competition roster spots. Other players team. And possibly even on the other side of the ball. Yeah that's the first thing we didn't want to keep the -- Players man but that -- balanced roster or not it might mean -- less -- another feeling that's worth. You know with a talent is an excellent -- competitive environment you know we all know how -- the players worked to. Get into sleet you know college deserved. -- careers their training. All the things go through just. Get drafted or get an opportunity to play in the National Football League and get here and and playing at this competitive level and fight all the challenges every year from. It's always a dozen players were trying to. Hate their job or going to Little League or established positions yeah. Or somebody else that. In a position doesn't stand healthy and don't -- the you know the grueling. Regular season schedules around here gear failures and it doesn't. You know didn't double digits -- it's a lot of football. I was -- just. Just looks okay. Well you know I think everybody to -- that's -- I was on the one business decisions. I was really want talent. But what I saw it spent. But they do it's big piles and Darius. And then did so. I was in the area."

[14:22]" That's going to do -- today but we will be back tomorrow with highlights for the hatred stick up gala tonight and of course a preview of the last pre season. We'll see it end right here -- play against PG and."
