[0:26]" Welcome back on the roster what that's an official podcast from the New England Patriots. I'm my -- into Friday right here at giants stadium on September 21. We have 12 -- and -- I can you all the latest features transaction an update on the injury what an old friend back making him patriot. Much to the delight of time without --"

[0:46]" Thanks -- well we three year Gillette stadium for the roster report was a pretty quiet. Not a lot of major moves going on no video -- 2007 really continuing so. At the major league that we talked to yet we'll get to your boy in a second so -- fights -- go through the quick. Transactions all of them on the practice squad patriots signed quarterback lefthanded out of Georgia David green former third round pick. And they re signed to the practice squad a guy their pretty familiar with the the routing of the practice squad a couple of years back raven thrown. And make room for those guys they released tackle -- Oldenburg was another Tom -- after his dealings with his -- I don't because if you like the -- when you when you -- figure -- what that -- get back to -- he actually just the intriguing angle of the whole lot border war under the -- one of the jets did today -- is so that. Continues from top to bottom the players moving back and forth Paul I know you like the David green moves on you talk about that on first before we get Tom ten minutes and raven troll obviously been."

[1:48]" Being sarcastic and you know. My feelings on left and quarterback -- it back was one thing and it's. Now not quite as they -- and I thought it Georgia he was one of those guys that surrounded by man's talent. On -- a lot of NFL players right now from those teams and they want to -- you know he he he once in games I just never thought that you get them over the hump I didn't -- yet strong enough arm a lot of his passes float right. And tend to think that about a lot of -- and a quarterback Michael Vick is the exception that rule. A lot of what the quarterback in that role I think too much with too much touch. And I think green football it's spectacular but a third round pick a Seattle but white old year that's at -- enough of them. I don't think I've started to think more more along the lines that you talked about I just don't think that they feel like they have what about the future. I think this would be a few -- I mean you had a Gutierrez. Who Cassell has to be a quarterback of the future 'cause he certainly not a quarterback of the Fresno but I think there's still looking and I think that's why he's here and they think it David green you know -- against 68 weeks under his belt it in. It burst into the Austin maybe he can help. But he just simply wanted to oh a quarterback for the practice. You know I don't know in light it would need one -- Gutierrez -- by -- Him my guess is that they're not comfortable right now. With that situation for a quarterback of the future and we should clarify about the future we means sort of the back up for a long -- what Brady's going to be a quarterback of the present and future for awhile"

[3:24]" now Tom you can handle race control with green I I believe -- I believe he's the all time winningest quarterback in the SEC I think. And did you international title but no -- I was around but I am I probably want to all those games without ever winning an important and I Toms right. But he he was the winning quarterback what Paul's right his I don't like his -- we got a history of either he quoted a lot of balls there. -- I'd like scouting report news it was right on the money -- a lot of balls. Through a lot of ball up for grabs and guys made plays. Maybe the patriots on -- you know there's always that thing -- might have a mechanical issue that they think it just something like that. I would get to a over who would determine that scouting report what are you move on a raven drone who I would tell us that we we know about ray he's probably never going to be a safety in the NFL -- good guy you know at a locker next Ellis Hobbs. You know maybe he'll become the next start maybe it'll go from -- that ravens throw."

[4:22]" Or maybe will just Ian NIC practice player willing to do just about any organized credit that he could but I think he's a great practice squad I think he's an Childress didn't make tied him at practice player of the year a couple of years ago yes oh. And you need though I -- guys willing to do anything get the not kicked out of home plate. You know he'll be on offense -- running back I know I can always going to give you know -- offer a bright every practice you need some of those guys you really do wish I mean like the guys Tom like please don't I don't know his mom but there's one guy -- talk to rate them troll if you break that about it and this is a value and a guy like -- guys that. Can be able. Mentally and go into that role I can't do -- there's two got two jobs on the practice squad. One is the guy who legitimately trying to develop you know what they've done with -- offensive linemen some of these guys the other as the guy that you know week in and week out we'll do everything and give you a good look has a little he has athletics has yet you know we can do some different things or in terms of moving around -- whenever the little cards as. But realistically he's not a developmental a -- a ball right it is you know lose. Size does matter in some instances and it always him you might take a guy who you know rookies. You know. You know high hopes coming out of college. And that didn't work out from in training camp in economy but they had in which he might -- to bring that rule right beat -- linebacker or eight evidently that. Atmel from a heated one on the track but felt. Team is quote it was about. -- so far the other guys that every that -- had valued at teams and and -- is an interesting if China this week ended -- report and how could affect the game day roster moving forward some of the same guys that have been on it. Tom Brady as always with a shoulder even -- with a shoulder issue which forced 1000000008 -- rest hope I didn't actually guard last week. Yeah eight get banged up now Yates is on the injury report with a shoulder issue a year. Down your third guy there you -- becoming maybe an issue there depending on how those Inco. And wide receiver -- Kelley Washington on the injury report with a hamstring injury you'll have Donte' Stallworth added with a knee injury on Thursday. And the other placed keep an eye on his safety we're already down Rodney Harris and now you have Eugene will -- on here is limited in practice calm. -- villa with an ankle injury. Meriwether might have to be forced into a little bit more action this week. On is her concern there at those two but that regard and safety and with meriwether having to possibly field for will and all we talked about a previewing the bills games is what big plays Lee Evans down the field could that become an issue. Well I think."

[7:20]" Though the bigger issue might be -- guard only because. The one place the bills -- given the patriots troubles long -- defensive lines of golf you're on your third guard. That might give the bills open it wouldn't -- Schobel going to have a good game that there's there's some guy all the other guys that he owns Matt light I don't see that changing any time soon. So maybe if you're down your third Gardner defensive line gets the momentum early in the game pressure on break that's only shot the pressure on her Brady and make him throw the ball early the only positive is your third guard is -- folks I'm a guy who's hitting your second guard been a starter and Super Bowl kind of guy all the bills don't really had to cancel it and now I got to."

[7:57]" I -- an immediate for the short term I think Tom might be right it's but this particular game you you're looking at being 34 deep it guide depending you know right now and a guy who has battled major problems on oh. He's probably not feeling great but. I agree I think that that's one area that they can they can sort of injuries because I think -- and we wrote about the lot in the pre season and you to sort of Bodiford -- story that's going to commodity. Next week's issue PFW. The offensive line has five starter that we think of but. Really all those guys have started at once and another that -- nine so I really feel that much different. From one of the next now -- more out of it is a difference if it you know nook Logan Mankins was out that -- a drop off but. But those guys have played together in the past so this is really no lack of familiarity and and I really that big of a concern at the Hoch nine out there early -- out there you know and -- is at the injury that we don't know about -- belt and shoulder is an issue for -- missed two seasons with a shoulder and that's why if he's a long term value down he's acting guided now week to win you know the winner in here for him -- Not David Toms -- deep you know come week 12 with 13 and that. I agree about -- about -- you know because I think the fact it will on the practice field -- today. Makes me five we've seen him have issue with injuries lingering in the past he comes back in he gets nicked up again."

[9:23]" He is more time -- I think he's played well the first you don't have Artrell Hawkins rates they could be your next week -- and meriwether we haven't seen much from him we don't know what you have there so if you go Anders meriwether for an extended period. Now the back into that defense is a little more questionable maybe teams look to target take advantage of that because we'll be on the front end -- it has been. Are extremely. That far they're going to find a weakness they'll they'll look back at the acting premier -- the built and completed a pass over two yards all year at all like 90 yards a game yet so there -- if he -- have to play to -- the best case scenario or not next week in Cincinnati don't want him there this might it would appear that you progress question but do you guys cross that -- or annual. Well a -- exclusively. And -- which one. If that was if they did I think it would be ops because he had success doing it last time animals mules they'll. Where they want to do it the first game last and -- it didn't do with the crime against buffalo you know out there. Just keep my probably not related question thanks for bringing it up that -- That's going to putter and wrap on our roster report despite what all the things. Back to -- thinks. That is an -- writer for any roster -- thanks for listening and gopac.
