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

[0:18]" After a solid performance on Monday Night Football this -- to write -- is ready for his role this weekend. No -- definitely vocal. -- filled out check is breaking down the victory over the Broncos at PFW's Paul Perillo I was breaking down the rains we'll handle my every. Plus it's a month matchup between the pats in the Rams in -- and nine games. Welcome to Toyota's Patriots today. Brought to your side that Toyota Tundra."

[0:51]" I everybody and welcome -- I had as Patriots today I'm Christine act read the Patriots wrap up a short week of preparation for the -- that the latest from the team up to up. Great team back on the practice field after a couple weeks Al defensive end Jarvis Green and -- league catcher but players if the Chargers game with -- injury. -- listed as questionable for Sunday's yeah. Good about six shared some final thoughts today on the rain and coming fox."

[1:21]" this week. They're playing well and -- know -- short short time here but I think everybody's. Start you know really you know get much more comfortable geared towards in Italy from where us. -- Wednesday and you know Michigan is more situational football here. Raiders to -- third down the goal line sure errors and kicking games like. You know you really have worked -- all get here in week so it's kind of work for a."

[1:52]" Now for a wrap up of what to watch for this weekend here's Vietnamese Paul Perillo what is --"

[2:03]" What you can see we can move things inside this week could start to get a little cold out there a little wet and quite frankly. I'm not all that tops on the coincide. Wanted to start off this week the same way our team was last week you know course you all remember that because you hang on my everywhere."

[2:17]" You have to run the football you've seen it was -- they're just as bad as that perfect meal out I'm 61 yards it -- One of the worst rush it's football so Sammy Morris spoke to get healthy if -- not want -- let's hope you get healthy. I don't care if it's been Jarvis Green Ellis whoever it is the Patriots have to run the football between the tackles and waited last. Sticking with that -- from the Broncos Patriots defense. You have to make sure you take big plays this is not a very high powered offense to St. Louis they struggled mightily all season long putting points on the board until last week. They broke up with 34 against Dallas that was a good offensive game they do have some weapons they have Stephen Jackson effective as a little banged up. But I I'm more concerned with Marc Bulger Torry Holt and Donnie Avery. It was a rookie second round pick out of Houston a lot of speed he's been getting deep the last few weeks pitches -- a great job of keeping it rated Marshall in front of the last week that needs to continue on Sunday. Obviously a lot of changes in St. Louis from the beginning of the season Scotland and is out Jim has what is in I think. We we've seen the biggest impact that has on its side of the ball lands obviously hasn't -- he's doing something differently than what. Linehan was doing when they couldn't stop anybody if you've seen a lot more pressure a lot more aggression has with the defensive oriented guy linebacker industry said that he advances. Patriots need to find a way to fix some spots and avoid turnovers because that's what they're trying to feed off right now like I said the top half of them have some success this -- The Patriots -- you ready. One of the ways they can avoid those turnovers but I just talked about to keep Matt Cassel who wait for that pass rush and obviously the sacks total is starting to get up there a little bit on radio and you don't -- one times last year -- are expected that. I can't look at all of the offensive line. Obviously cast football would've been too -- at times. And other times. His indecision I think it's caused him some troubles I think -- to that question. Plays like that touchdown -- lost last week against Denver I think that was good sign I think its way to it would have made two weeks ago. Let's continue that avoid the turnovers keep it up right I think the Patriots as a success offense. What sort of topped out single in -- at a lot of sort of expectancy. The loss to come through from Belichick got next game but in particular I don't think it's it's easy of course I didn't think it has its plus last -- if you think it's. Patriots win I think at the better. I think it's so important because it starts off now another month here at Indianapolis and in the division I think there's. What -- games coming up when when I have a little bit -- home loss to St. Louis. I think you run the football keep it simple pretty broke don't fix it when he was seventeen knowing."

[4:55]" Coming up got a rookie running back in the studio right after that."

[5:00]" One final look at the win over the Broncos this one's with the head coach."

[5:04]" I was that was good -- good."

[5:07]" There's more -- Patriots today coming right up."

[5:12]" Brokers told us -- you in my head. Pat on the back. The 2008 motor trend truck of the year. The drug. Changing you know."

[5:29]" Patriots kicked off the fall season this week -- ocean spray the two teamed up to build a -- inning cranberry -- exhibit. Right to let state."

[5:40]" Featured receiver Wes Welker was named as an honorary --"

[6:00]" Welcome back to Patriots today and the studio now at running back and Jarvis Green Ellis thanks for coming and you saw a lot of game time against the Broncos welcome opportunity -- for."

[6:10]" I was that they have a -- as long -- no -- and contribute so. That is so. First. Of Belgrade developments on them degrades. --"

[6:23]" We think that's an undrafted free -- now. Big significant role change would you say did you think you ever have this opportunity."

[6:30]" The thing you -- did Tom and of course those sort of in the media never going up from the gulf conflict."

[6:36]" But the cumulative. So -- Booth before."

[6:39]" Depending on -- running backs have you seen indoors particularly his status are you prepared for the job. Coming up on this Sunday it's rain let us I don't Gurode -- my birth --"

[6:51]" There's a lot of experience had a view as far as a running back the guys that have been here a lot of experience as a Leclerc."

[6:58]" I was on the ability to be able to help me out especially Kevin and he right now. Sammy helped me I would figure a little bit defensive from the fences. This pick up then lay dead in the World Cup frosting on. We'll conferencing and hopefully with the expects though there's been a good in the no."

[7:14]" What was the energy like during Monday Night Football against the Broncos here at home what was it like to be at anfield and I."

[7:21]" But so good in the crowd into the game and there was there was. It was a great atmosphere and and we have without having a lot of fun of course those well. And have fun we --"

[7:31]" must have. We -- a bit about your adjustments coming to New England off the football field hasn't been so far."

[7:37]" I was a pretty good you know once I leave this via home. Fleet but and so. I'm right -- both us from Los let Tonya I'm at home to some real good so president of."

[7:48]" What are some interest outside of football things in my field you know on the side hobbies."

[7:53]" I ever thought about two minutes and do -- thoughtful Gloria said gets a gets and policies are anonymous. Focus and on the season playing football."

[8:01]" Any bad -- that really clicked with on the team that you and it really been helpful."

[8:06]" Kevin right -- own. -- of your friends that we'll while doing that we had they still are about Bo Mosley a dismal Kevin's run so."

[8:16]" Rookie sixty of them right I have to get back together at right. But thanks come and in the appropriate -- could -- gut -- a break in down the Broncos --"

[8:26]" I get everybody Mike -- along -- Bill Belichick time got to look at the plays of the week from the 41 to seven win over the Denver Broncos all three phases of the game we're solid we're going to start with the kicking game punt return his first out of issue. Playwright Micah but that in the game all three phases really ties together nicely against us the big play sports long punt return ran out who he's look."

[8:47]" What thoughts covenant and Wes Welker bad they're decent here is that awful awful awful pain off and the thing about here -- long haul. And he ends up didn't pick them fight Kevin in the duties player. Knock down right there though get the gunners that's. You know that's number one on the phone returns. Are you know another thing that really helps on this why isn't he deserves it. Comes in here how to empower -- designer and Washington back. That also cause of the whole Bible says so yeah. On all these guys inside here I get tied up and and if you can eliminate the governors which which we did bring good job on the play. You know -- give the return champions are back up fielding. You know what once was tipped the ball in his hands and get an artist he makes good players in this they're Jackson in the manuals you know not get Padilla and you know sucked up you know the score up before the ball until it. While Torre should punt return guy as he gets the rest theory the change and we're plugging Kevin had done all year they doubled just. But here's a look at the same players in the end zone again -- can Tennessee -- even. The power to sign -- back and so walker cup and here and our whole of guys really get that line of scrimmage by of their nobody got off leaned. On Larry Izzo is our drop manager's job to make the most dangerous guy down the field. And -- he he gets the start right there that he blocked -- Gil fashion and get Paul right there. Consistency over the Curtis Jackson and and not manual and that's. Good run by west. Good mostly here by Slater and and not hear what's come on back. Get him -- extra yards there. That just off looking great field position announced they -- force. -- is that a big play before and I have to thundering minutes ago fourth and one right fourth and one and another play here is to go off tackle run behind Dave Thomas and there's a Ben Watson. And you can see they've got all their their defensive linemen on down there inside trying to keep the from a get the quarterback sneak or if for some kind of inside run. And on this place we get real good blocks here Watson wanted to attack. And Dave Thomas kicks out the force guy who really widens the old course there are those the semis block your life. By Dave and and lots -- good job your point of attack on Winborn. -- Heath Evans comes around here he had a clean up on non manual safety and that's a good hole at -- large percentage against. He doesn't restaurant so -- this 29 -- but he's currently is a great look from the hands of it was a huge play any games here so. There's a key block right there with -- Watson almost born. On Thomas is worth a nice job here on a kick out why. And then he didn't know -- looking for the first so. Can you think wet turf. Four manual -- Manuel. Webster and that kind of get -- file there and Sammy softened up Larry -- off the backside."

[11:45]" Lowers the shoulder would Derosa run out of bounds they would 44 seconds ago. No not really because we still a three time outs. And then what we're really want to try to do was score like -- San Francisco right at the end of the half and I'll leave them any time on the clock so I was final -- you score on the next play touchdown twenty nothing at the half now we go to the third quarter. Moss has got what 101 touchdown pass this is a great player. Well third down enough about eight or nine yards here and so we go to flip screens."

[12:11]" And we haven't supposed Brandon Moss. It's been more of a wealth of play -- in the middle of the have a fall but -- for Randy and -- it was a nice double kick out block. And he gets you are right there Matt Light comes out and -- four though. Those two guys are -- field right there and then here comes Mankins and and Copeland the kind of you know helped lead the convoy there and what do -- makes an outstanding block Terrell Lowery. And how to run slower and throws it down and Randy does that again. On the actions here at the start talking a little bit of -- run today to Kevin ball. He makes the kind of player we scored on. Again and prevent him Francisco. And that -- thrown around Jarvis Moss does Russian here all the years and once these guys get up field. Kind of get them off field. Kick out here. There's -- natural -- playing right there it's very well I. Think we have a -- look at the end zone in Korea here it'll come up and ends up. I don't feel what is really different. Right here's here's the fate befall an athlete and I kind of gets the linebackers and he's interior guys -- the sort of react so this way and and losses the guys -- also got a -- got to get the ball around. You know he's on block. I'm Matt does a nice job left but the right -- welfare you're comfortable life they're going to Logan Mankins for the safety. And he's open prominent and the play back here on the backside. Mankins really get up there runs -- both those guys like to mention the food down because eventually they really can't sometime since -- felt like turn on when they got to get out there run in the open field because they don't. -- of the team always what have fun -- must turn over to you and him -- breakdown now. Randy here."

[14:01]" Right here we see at least Erickson who is going to be just probably -- 800 years old -- personal one of his descendants. Addressed -- Vikings aren't ready it was Randy Moss who played for the Vikings. In this -- actually wearing number 84 on his chest and -- cost. Randy goes up then then we don't know what the Lambeau leap. I don't live off of the new name vigilant jumpers something like that but he's up there for quite awhile anyways I think because about compiled for the do you break and I leave all of it might just the president goes up close -- info -- little -- probably. It is -- and it's not Tibetans. You can play in my team. And then use this."

[14:41]" It'll the little. Outlet box there whatever this after afternoon certainly had a graphic that oh perfect perfect. A couple of -- after -- how to do that was that was good I'm good. I little bit because five turnovers forced by the defense in a number of sacks as well. Well of people thought about gone in the game about how much help we need to give the corner isn't retires or roll up and those two deep coverage of it. I'm not on this flight here -- on the and a man coverage analysis and Dolphins do the job of walking down those perimeter receivers and Meriweather -- coverages pretty tight and color has the whole ball just -- and there's nobody really opened. I don't do a good job on the Telstra doesn't affect a team that's been pretty artist -- this year Richard Seymour really -- multiple here has outstanding -- Hamilton and just the whole -- and out there. Tends to over on the oh on the left -- if -- fullback -- And -- that matchup and we'll go for us because none of them. Five and there's. Kind of you know team -- that their quarterback it absolutely no better place than out of your on the defense ethnic play force here and out by our pass rush really complement our coverage and and our secondary they'll get on the receivers of the Titans were terrific coach good luck in the St. Louis Rams all right thank you Mike pitchers coast Bill Belichick with a plays of the week."

[16:06]" They've got more coming up right after this including our Madden 9 games and."

[16:14]" We'll be right back with more Patriots today."

[16:18]" For years the front brakes on many have done through this do. You want to breaks this big. Thing now. Standard on. The drugs it's changing you know."

[16:38]" But that Patriots an -- to get offensive coordinator Scott this week here's Josh mcdaniels and Patriots at bats."

[16:47]" Until a replacement talk about the facts you know just things that we can on there. Born third down there in the game I think when you don't have a big lead or you don't get a lot of turnovers -- your strokes on third down. An obvious that becomes a bigger issue I think it -- I think he's improving and -- he actually you know he's made some. Some good throw waste smart fairways wasn't in -- The pocket and -- enough -- that face -- they'd -- at the statement had an adolescent. In the same game where -- way you know as they address it right there was -- out -- with a veritable field. I think just a comfort level for him you know that clocks go off at some point sometimes some protections. We have more people and -- have an extra second so that's throw the ball. Or throw it away. He plays more I think naturally that we'll get better improvement. -- block them better if you know their that was part of the issue that there was sometimes work. -- anybody quarterbacks would have made you know makes good decision to default on a couple those plays so it was a team thing. Everybody wants -- underwear and nobody wants their bottom half -- on their hands and they don't so. You know we we've used a lot of people and that and that role this year Kevin Boss taught them -- bottom obviously -- cause them to stop them. So we're not averse to throwing to anybody. Whatever we think the best thing to do in that week's game plan -- which of the defense they play fast and it may change of course to gain but. The guys level. When you catch him and there's a bunch of big climb down from bottom it's a little guys you know winners and it when it doesn't look good when you get the ball and hands they'll do that. -- although the stuff but."

[18:26]" And talk to Tommy and you know he obviously is is got a good approach that he's on this whole thing and however and that turn out -- You know workforce cuts hard she came to get back out here to win after that -- felt Tom's a world behind them and and can't wait to see him you know whenever he gets him."

[18:44]" As usual majors they had that prediction of what you might see come game time on Sunday here's our -- of nine games."

[18:59]" That's our home for the second week in a row and are ready to rumble -- the Rams."

[19:04]" After winning the toss St. Louis get things going the first question of all the big time Brett Steven Jackson who takes it outside for nine yards on the carry. But the players would come up short have to settle for three on the opening drive. So -- takes control and finds Randy Moss in his -- three yard strike. But usually that are castle pines Heath Evans out of the backfield to put the pats on the board giving them seven to three lead. Marc -- decide to go to the about Ricky Jerod Mayo swoops in for the interception. It takes it 26 yards that the house has put the heads up by -- it Bulger tried to catch his breath as the first quarter come to a close. In the second quarter Marc Bulger tried to make just for the interception was his past that Donnie Avery. But the red you have to call and kicker Josh Brown who else is 54 yard field goal that helps straightaway at the happening. Later on in the third -- This vessel was Welker on third down but sums up just short of the first of the ram hits the ball back and Marc -- take care of business -- Torry -- People just as let's go for sue and tie this thing out. But on the two point conversion the only thing that gets tied up at Bulger as the Rams head into the half down by two. In the third quarter Marc Bulger to it is a little bit of deja Vu and throws his second pick of the game to a -- Thomas. And Stephen Jackson is why we drove the ball I'm still on the team right. So -- and company get to work with this past the Ben Watson that put the field goal -- have -- another three points on the board giving them a five point he's at the end. The Rams field about the comeback in the fourth quarter. Maybe not. Maybe you have do you expect for himself Dante Hall who streaks for the Patriots kicked -- and is headed to the promised went. Number eighty she goes the distance giving the reds -- lead at the start of the fourth quarter. Then later on the reds are trying to hold onto the lead late in the game. They're forced to pass on third down but the ball is fumbled and Mike Vrabel scooped it up in the right in the game winning touchdown. But had sneaked past the Rams and nail biter 24 nineteen."

[21:11]" Pilot joining me now to wrap up the week it's been a quick turnaround for the Patriots up for Monday night game into a Sunday home game as well lot of energy last game. What are you predicting on Sunday."

[21:20]" I think I think that short turnaround a quick turnaround could play a role -- night you know you go from it's really 55 and a half their week almost at St. Louis coming off of by two straight high flying went. I think the Patriots when the -- I think it could be sort of you know an ugly tight win. You don't need a little bit of a let down from emotional standpoint tried to keep that up. Multiple weeks in a row but that's I think we can see Matt Cassel -- beyond into a little bit of -- here have another successful game I'll hopefully -- act a little less and from St. Louis decide really Stephen -- he's been slowed by -- this week. And that's a huge difference maker whether he is that a 100% or not that could be really different game but if it's a tough stretch real tough -- come up. After the St. Louis game it to gain that when the first schedule can schedule first and I figured no question they -- when it need tighter than -- utterly."

[22:08]" We'll see we'll have a full recap next week as the difference here this week next above all the latest from New England. Favorite team right here but as Patriots to."
