Recovery time is expected to be six take."

[1:50]" Brian Lowe is at San Jose state university in as a closer look at the Patriots set up outlet."

[1:57]" Okay Christina thank you very much the Patriots are conducting their Wednesday practice out here in San Jose California out of practice field adjacent to Spartan Stadium. On the campus of San Jose state. Out of their element and maybe just a bit. But as the pats take off their practice week leading up to Sunday's game at San Diego they say they're moving their entire operation out west of the week has been a week ago."

[2:19]" told him. Another pull five out there -- He knows the good it would take advantage over. Good big dividends. Couples and but still about going out and execute your game plan. I think we vacated by dangerous person gets -- things -- Should be able to not have to cross country trip and really focused on. For the Chargers so. You were terrorists are the hardwood today."

[2:47]" Bill Belichick said after Sunday's win against San Francisco that a major benefit to not traveling back to the east coast after the game. Was that he would -- more rested early in the week in preparation for three days of practice and the games that certainly appears to be the case."

[3:02]" Get a good night's sleep Sunday Monday Tuesday so those -- on that I -- Trying to get open you know watch film on the one -- Trying to get the opportunity that is still like behind idle. For responsible. It's been pretty easy just wake up -- semesters ago all all the amenities and everything that you need from a video and it's been through their first day out practice today solo. We'll get after today and we'll we'll have a good practice to serve for the pieces of the puzzle together."

[3:34]" Joining me now all the way from San Jose is Brian hello Brian great to see want to take him back to work today. They're down three guys there and that impeccable right up there and a."

[3:44]" Yeah how old here they are not sunny yes San Jose the sun is shining practiced behind me -- behind these buses on music going. They seem to be a pretty good pretty good spirits here -- are out here in the west coast you mentioned the three guys were not out -- practice but overall pretty good energy it's as if they're practicing behind Gillette Stadium on regular morbid training camp feel a little bit but so -- here on the west coast as far as practice is concerned. Seems to be going -- okay."

[4:09]" Okay let's talk about -- it seemed like in the -- this game really started get a feel for his role on this team. -- missing practice time if he does miss games have other ineffective running game."

[4:20]" Yeah Jordan definitely a key component of the our running game I situation they deathly -- still do have some guys you know seeming martz is -- pretty good can Faulk and the rushing touchdowns. Maroney is the guy that. He has had big yards per carry average is not had a good first a quarter of the season. Op but overall they did a great job on Sunday at least when it comes a time of possession as big a role beyond the running game has a big role -- that. -- we'll see against San Diego if Jordan is limited but overall I think there's still satisfied with the stable of running backs have as a whole."

[4:50]" It Patriots are looking at the Chargers they've had a bit of a disappointing start to their season coming up a lot against the Dolphins. But they're at home is all the competitive match up Woody's back."

[5:01]" What you know the Chargers lost their first two games you know one of them was a controversial late -- games and did on the last second. And then -- Miami the other day Patriots know what that's all about with those a wildcat formation so the Chargers depth we have some work to do but it last year they started out really poorly and they -- the Patriots in the AFC championship game they have an ability to rebound. You'll Philip Rivers has really taken -- this team about leadership wise even some members of the Patriots -- saying today. That there impressed with the leadership. He's shown. Including in the AFC championship game last year when he showed some toughness not -- in. Even with an injury so even though they're two and three -- Chargers are the Patriots no one that this is still tough test -- and downed the San Diego later in the week."

[5:42]" I -- Brian great to hear from you got there will talk to you tomorrow."

[5:46]" I will be here all week for you guys Kentucky got others."

[5:49]" All right we'll have more Patriots that comin' up right after that."

[5:57]" For years the front brakes on many have done through this big. You want to break. This big. Thing Nadal. I don't know. The drugs it's changing you know."

[6:17]" Welcome back to Patriots today as usual the players are available to the media after practice here they are -- your Patriots locker room and."

[6:30]" We'll try to divisional opponent. You know we we're very comfortable with them as as they are so I was expecting him to be -- we expect the game before the fourth quarter we expect. From the players play as hard like they always do so tight games close game and you know physical game also they're very physical team -- went. Skilled players that can really. Sort of explode from anywhere on the field."

[6:54]" Anytime you can go out there and you know play as hard as we do. Of from the new news -- employed to San Diego's standpoint you know and maybe good game every time you know. Everybody you can almost forcing you have to create game leaving him Bears out there. They did the big respect Baghdad as much trash -- you decide does you know there's there's a huge level of respect that we want to."

[7:17]" I don't know how much of that is is bad blood has just been it's been big gains you know and win. You know it's a playoff victory in the playoff loss you know what the one team feels great because -- didn't move on the other team feels bad because the season's over. I think if anything that's just where I respect their players. I respect would -- Thomas and their offensive line Antonio Gates Philip Rivers I think their players that play hard and then do the right things you know I'm definitely -- good right now so. I don't think it's bad but I think it's I think it's more like a mutual respect."

[7:47]" The have a list where it's so you can blame I like the quarterback like him so. It just so he's out of character because a lot of guys look at quarterbacks in the -- he's. Cause some problems -- innings and he's like totally opposite he's getting home but like you have an Alford and into the arms he's so about it most this. I think a lot of people in the sedin and comparing this boy is much from me and I like -- go -- because -- shows -- endorsement. Well I think that's the thing I think he's the the same way you know away from the field as though the way is -- on the field and and city's he's always you know very loose and and I have the same time he's very. They're very confident so."

[8:31]" It's been five men haven't how to -- about that you can still always. Not only don't we when agencies about the game this -- plays. And then you know you can you can relate to a personal level but I noted going to be there on game days may have played with -- has -- far from me."

[8:47]" We still like your work. Through like for vacation Busch looked -- like if they give it. That's the semi essential for us. One down one ago."

[8:59]" Now for some quick stats on the -- future news and numbers."

[9:09]" Patriots have been victorious in. Each of their last twelve road game. There's any way to -- Francisco. They are still six behind the all time best road win streak. The niners in nineteen. If there's one sure fire way to make a head coach happy is to not get penalized. And so far through week five features of only had eleven -- penalties against the which is second in the NFL to the Houston Texas. Two members of the Patriots 53 man roster are celebrating birthdays during your team's extended stay out west. Happy birthday to Richard Seymour who turned 29 on Monday night to Russ Hochstein who celebrated his 31 birthday on Tuesday."

[9:54]" Before we go let's hear what that coach has to say this week along with starting quarterback Matt Cassel an -- here --"

[10:04]" I put a phone call on I have got to return phone call that a tree is up just rest and get better Yankees need to Atlanta and not in the -- team. I'm sure will be materials and that was it. Bigger just as he's always been through my entire career you know -- ago look for sports -- forgot to."

[10:27]" But we have a good week here appear ready to go on such to you know transitions and good. You know weren't quite aware of north northeast -- Shall we have a good practice today. -- from back."

[10:42]" Always mission to it. -- a great player but the guys that are that are really good job of veterans. Harrison stepped in and playing really well positioned itself. We got our hands both those guys we -- explosive."

[10:56]" He's not a lot of respect for Rivers. Anyway and then last year our game. And torrential that he really stepped up played very courageously. After the injury to his ball well. Not a great -- to throw it and but a lot of toughness and courage. And innocently as always want to -- Clippers. He certainly Tucker down field this year."

[11:20]" You know it's a bouncing afternoon's one of those things on the floor before and runners on continue to work on that as well. Just the other singer it's been -- believes those guys are better athletes and you are so you adapt and rely on the fact that they're going to you know. We have been able to do much much that I have been outside the hotel much. The just the sunshine itself in the conference sometimes enough for me."

[11:45]" Let -- do for today tomorrow we'll have the latest on the Patriots practice at Tennessee state university and of course. Turning our attention in the next opponent in Diego Chargers. The and -- actually it'd be street."
