[0:02]" Toyota Tundra just won the 2008 motor trend and truck of the year. That's pretty. That's changing it."

[0:14]" Evidently noticed Patriots today. Patriots are transitioning from Monday night victory to their next home game this weekend and -- moving forward without defensive leader. But the big blow. Plus -- behind the scenes for a look at a full day of preparation that goes into the Monday Night Football match. Yeah. Welcome to Toyota's Patriots today. Brought to your side that Toyota Tundra."

[0:46]" yeah. Today I'm -- night's victory the Patriots -- back to work this week in week -- up for another home game this weekend take a look at the latest from the team right up the top. Yeah. Wednesday the team officially announced his safety Rodney Harrison has been placed on IR OL for the rest of the season. After suffering a thigh injury during the process -- After a late Monday night game in a quick turnaround this week to prepare for the -- Patriots had a lot Verlander Dana Farber field house today. Starting quarterback -- passes for. Yeah -- Right now -- going to take a closer look at how losing a leader like Rodney Harrison affects the Patriots for the rest of the season."

[1:37]" From the first quarter of the first game to the last quarter of the most recent game. The Patriots have been hit hard with -- season ending injuries to -- their most vital player. Nobody has long since setting when it comes to the loss of Tom Brady. Now it's time to regroup once again with the Wednesday morning news that Rodney Harrison won't see the field again in 2008 and perhaps beyond. It's a big blow. That's. What he brings weekly an everyday in this locker rooms. Someone like Harrison is a player who brings energy and intensity to the field. A player who brings a vocal presence of the defense. And a player who earns the respect of teammates at every corner of the locker room. The fifteen year veteran is second on the team this -- tackles and has an interception as well but as his teammates said in the locker room his importance goes further than the stats. It's -- weren't going to -- Stephen replaces the term but. But the emotional news from who -- this."

[2:41]" brings to practice what he brings to book the team on game days. You know his years of leadership. Years of one's game that it's. Losses huge and run you -- on this team. On the field and off field. In the come here you know running passing angles they've. Expect but -- two games there will be -- person to leave okay if you don't."

[3:13]" Facing the rest of the season without Harrison is a big definitive loss for this team but there are a number of players from last couple of weeks including -- Boris what injuries that are more in the day to day category. -- mindset of this team as always this will just. What exactly is that. What stage for the Patriots already to. -- needed at that position going into Monday night's game Morris did come back after halftime and Jarvis Green Ellis helped finish out the win. -- teams longstanding models that all. Players are expected to be ready when called upon and one time he treats veterans have seen this type situation well before October 2008. Yeah."

[3:52]" I would notion that his his teammates do that therefore that was that's what caused. That. And I think we've we've tried to. You know week by definition of bringing guys that. If you make this team is expected fortunate. On this opportunity right there."

[4:13]" that's what my Patriots today comin' up right after that."

[4:17]" Coming up we got the latest from the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. There's more Patriots today coming right out."

[4:30]" Sluggers Toulouse beat Cuba they. Pat on the back. The 2008 motor trend truck of the year. The drug changing at all."

[4:51]" Welcome back to Patriots today coach Bill Belichick was proud of his team after Monday night's victory but this week it's all about focusing on the -- here is your -- press --"

[5:04]" Perimeter. Between the hottest team in the league right now playing very well at two big wins. Then noticing because a lot of things. Well go. Public confidence and playmaker in this. We have a lot of respect for thank Jim you know most thought a lot of -- that -- at an awful long time. Great job or ones that those get things going in the right direction here at St. Louis. He's really good players and -- does he does everything well it was good blitz pick up some big guys physical fast quick. It. These. He's he's really what are you got to know where he has that are accountable snapped can always put him in the back field analyst put behind quarterback. Sometimes it also and sometimes that's -- out. We're -- we're the issue better define disease. Because it's worse. But just one of those actually. And asked him. A -- what the town you know a lot of people. That he's on the things that rod Roddy how to -- you know forced that's so. One person to do everything he -- Done a good job force -- week we asked a lot of our box often -- On the running game and passing game and pass protection. -- was lot of things can change for them but formations. Sometimes didn't want to spiritually goes from one plated another change -- that's one thing to another's. He's handled it in all those well. They wanted it hasn't gotten a lot of reps. From. When he had the opportunity he's shown that he's confident. He's -- productive forceable --"

[6:53]" Pilot joining industry and now Brian from some of the players that they were basically instructed to have. More fine going into this game out clearly evident by the game and he's on the field. After the final schooler."

[7:05]" You know it really struck me after the game by how many players talk about what a great week of practice they had in terms of the emotion just getting after it after a long week week on the west coast and and a tough game. And specifically. You instructions like you said it was really like instructions that the night before and the day of the game Belichick really emphasized that's what dead even when you've. You do well on the field like let's get some emotion they have fought Ellis Hobbs was tremendous after the game saying the last guy would've thought would ever say that would be built out check. But I think it helped I think it just kind of had that if they sort of have the mindset of what's going to go out there play football like we used to play -- and I think it worked asked Ellis Ellis Hobbs today if he thinks they can continue that during this week of practice being. You know shorter week you said let's do -- we gotta do it was. We've worked prospective. But tried again."

[7:51]" Her heart keep that mentality of what you eat -- like Rodney Harrison -- is that in any way shape or form a comparison how -- Brady."

[8:00]" After the defense partners and a player you know it it's sort of it is I think it it's it has a similar type of anything can have as much of detectives Tom Brady he's the biggest guy. Involved Evers in the play and the opportunity it's."

[8:11]" With -- it would also struck me today is the similarity in how they're sort replace. You know with quarterback when he went down. You know all the spot but was on the free agent wire -- John Lynch and all that they're going with who they have been brought up. That Cassel and Matt Gutierrez. To the active roster with Brady how to bring up in points and Brandon Meriweather will start. They're going with -- they have that's the way to do it the guys who have been here since training camp they're going to live or die with them."

[8:35]" Bryant think our going to hear from the players in the locker juppe today locker room --"

[8:44]" Football's -- his case you know I think San Diego we got out. Tonight were over the winter as so we can find a way -- for ourselves week to week two win that battle to reveal that we've. Preparation ones I was who has -- battles with our coaches. I think -- ahead -- the -- we've just got to north promotion of physical two point were up affords us an opportunity winnable."

[9:12]" Just use that as a capsule you know looked okay -- we can do. Can we do consistently you know that child isn't old upon request go out there and give them. I think the most important thing now is we have focused on you know. If you see there were K wouldn't we did out there you know so it's not my game right going to be surprised. You know so we go out that he noticed it continually have five and his Honda."

[9:38]" And I could've scored three times I'm going to there was try to look for someone blocking up like -- line does together and they just nice it's a in this league middle on the news you know I told us that don't ever expect that you want like that a game possessed. You know my eight years I've never -- one take them much less -- this is still back losses with a pulled left in the Bill Walker is. You can't -- to somebody I'm hoping he's not an -- of that in the back of the those those of us. Anytime you lose a leader. From from your football team whether -- to -- He's going to be a voice that we're going to miss. You know and captain's meeting and I -- also on the field sort of because -- have stepped."

[10:21]" One person d'antoni dismissing. We have do this but what I was doing -- why and Nolan and I asked -- what -- miracle you know just do your job."

[10:31]" Middle -- so. Mean his actions on the field and -- you speak for themselves. -- and his plan wouldn't mean it was you know just like you wanted to do when he was -- programs. That's what."
