[0:41]" We're -- It into the hill on patriots play book today we walked into the program. My name -- John -- web radio -- patriots dot com is the email address. What you knew that already but we figure would remind you anyway because after all we realize that you know -- You probably don't have that take your computer terminal web radio at patriots dot com telephone number is 5854374825 wait 5437482 I have to imagine that the have to be at least a few cowboys fans listening. Just because of the unique nature of this program in effect that this this this team in this website you know. Churn out radio programming every day new content every day. It's got to listening to the patriots football weekly guys in their daily program and you know now we also bring a little extra perspective to it I heard on the local radio when Boston earlier today and several Palestinians listening to -- WEEI -- yeah -- homer radio actually thought that was kind of funny like of the ticket in Dallas isn't homer radio please. Everybody anywhere it would be homer radio when it comes to playing against the opposition. Even here dislike you know Paul an Indy like the laugh about I mean I know that they'd like to think of themselves journalists and I think that they are. And I like to think of myself as being somewhat down the middle of the road because we do call things here at least in this particular program the column as best as we -- that. Would we like the patriots to win sure makes our job easier. But isn't life or death not really. Not really not at all on me you know what we -- like for the patriots to win attitudes are better around. Guys are easier to talk to replace a little bit of -- in all hop skip and a jump in their step every day I mean it's sure it's better. You know but if you look at it from a purely talk radio or discussion point of view well you know sometimes we all know at least here in New England that the misery loves company. You know what are Rick pitino once they negativity in this town sucks well it's true but it also is grateful radio. People love to complain of people to bitch and people love to you know -- their gripes that's what talk radio was all about I spent. Quite a bit of time last night because they -- teach journalism at Emerson College in Boston in it's been quite evident that part of a class about that very subject last night. You know negativity sells that's what talk radio is was was was based was talk -- it was it was negativity and having the ability to complain in. Having somebody listen to your complaint. So I would ask you win is this not be you know homer radio it's all homer radio there's nothing biased about this. All we try to do here is present the facts do we think the patriots went well based on what we've seen thus far this week to five weeks. You'd have to say sure absolutely. But that doesn't mean that the cowboys won't win the game it doesn't mean the patriots will win the game. All this is based on. Everyday to this point in time when you put the two teams side by side the cut the -- the the patriots do rate any slight favorite normally the spread as I looked at this morning with four and a half points I think that's about right. You know when you consider home field advantage in its worth you know anywhere from three to six points. What you it's closer three point than he could see this game was put in Foxboro the -- to be about a touchdown favorite which again would be about eight. You know and that's -- the all the respect the cowboys who really if -- cowboy fan or pure fan from another team and you listen to our program and Percival were glad to have you yes this is patriots you know no radio but at the same time I welcome input in and we all welcome input we welcome emails and discussion an opinion from anybody around the league and if you really want to took -- your team great go right ahead to the way. You know just it. Back up your opinion with fact. That's all you need to do have some courage of your convictions. Tell us why specifically you think. Your team is this through better if you're cowboys -- a particular why you think cowboys should rated favorite why you think the cowboys will win this game. And I kind of brings me to my subject commander for the day because I'm sitting here. Look at all the hype already have been watching some you know -- and today and ESPN news and you know clicking on NFL network in in in all the height between you know these 25 an old team certainly is already begun and rightfully so you've got three teams. In the NFL now. Or five you know. Two of them reside in the AFC in the patriots in the in the opening Super Bowl champion colts and you but the cowboys have five -- all of the NFC in -- it's a maybe a shaky five a no based on what you saw them do this past Monday night just a couple of days ago at the Buffalo Bills. I even cowboy -- you know starting -- events have to admit that and it and let me preface once again by saying if -- new -- a relative newcomer to this program. If you haven't listened. It to the show more to me over much of the last seven years or so that we've been on the air with -- program here. That you don't know that I grew up a -- thing. You don't know that I've I'm born and raised in Texas in my group in Fort Worth the Dallas Cowboys were in my backyard. And the new stadium that they're building now in Arlington, Texas is literally five minutes or what paperwork it's been quite a bit of my time before I left for college at the University of Texas. So and I've been to Texas stadium many times. And can remember the days of you know Eddie Le baron at quarterback. Much less Don Meredith or Craig Morton Rogers Starbucks -- I do go back aways with the Dallas Cowboys. You know in unfortunate consider a guy like brad -- was the longtime -- the cowboys a friend in this industry so I go way back with the cowboys. And I mentioned I think it was Tuesday. We're going to mention late last week and which ones that you know you might think that because of you know how like -- up in my loyalty and fact that it was a cowboy fan for a number of years and really I still -- Are really haven't given that up I've never been a fan of Jerry Jones certainly was never a fan of Barry switzer when he came -- to coach the team but you know like you said we all root for laundry. Especially more so in this -- so I've never stopped rooting for the cowboys silvery blue. I just don't root for some of the individuals and fault. But yes I was a fan of you know you know the triplets you know in -- Troy -- heyday -- Emmitt Smith Michael Irvin -- who could not be that was a power -- And of course that was the last dynasty you know in the NFL prior to a we have currently with the patriots. And I still root for the cowboys in you might think that I am I would be conflicted somewhat. With this weekend's game. But you know actually it it really is actually easy for me to decipher while I'm a fan of the cowboys I'm I would for the patriots. So like I've already said it's the little easier. For everybody when the patriots win. But it doesn't mean that it's life or death and we'll come right back up next a next week with more programming and in present both sides of the story we'll get ready for the next game just like the team. You know out on the field right now is doing as -- you know practice and prepare you know for the cowboys this Sunday. So what are kinda like for you to do -- consider all this and the hype there's already begun. And you know I'm I'm me read in the stuff on line in them look at it. -- all of the newspaper articles and I and I am looking at all the -- in the beginning you know that the TV reports it -- got through watching -- ESPN with Ed -- in Dallas and in -- Knicks covered the patriots in Foxboro and you know talking about how this thing is beginning to build up a little bit between 25 of them teams and and I understand all the hype but I think what -- to realize that both of these teams have ten games left after this week is over. One of these two teams is going to be five in -- it's just the fact of the matter neither team wants to be that team but the season is far from over for the losing team the only thing this week he's going to prove is that. One team. In this little moment this little snapshot at time is going to be a little bit better than the other and it doesn't mean that this team was still be better if both are fortunate to reach the Super Bowl and faced each other again in February. It's just a little snapshot here. And one team's gonna have a slight edge maybe one team. The winner will be the number one team and the power rankings whatever that -- of course we know every website in in in and it's dog you know has a power ranking up. For what that's worth will realize that it's not worth much is just creates conversation and gets people talking and it may be stirs up a little interest but other than that not much -- not really worth anything -- a bowl bid is on the line right. So or would you consider that the hype -- already begun to get to these five little team what I want you to do formally today. Take a look at these rosters I want you to tell me what you think the difference in this game is going to lie. What is the one matchup. On the football field this Sunday in and I and I and I ask this question because. I respect view is as close followers of the patriots in of your cowboy fan you obviously know your team better than any patriot -- is going to know the Dallas Cowboys. So I want you to look at these two teams I want you'd find a match up that you or shorten. You are certain. -- team has a definitive it. Find a matchup that you think your team has a definitive edge in for Sunday. But patriots fans it is you you probably got several what you can choose from I I don't want several I want one. -- what one match up that you know the patriots will win. On Sunday. And of your cowboy fan I want you to look at you know where you'd think the cowboys -- strongest and where you know the cowboys have an edge. Matchup wise over the patriots. And that's what I want you to send -- web radio at patriots dot com. Web radio -- patriots dot -- that's the email address and a get the telephone number viewer call in today you can do so 585437482. That's the number and we'll take calls coming of the program we're going to hear from patriots coach Bill Belichick from just short while ago at Gillette stadium Munro with members of the patriots media and we got a lot of locker -- stuff to get -- for you today fancy going to be happy with this 12345678 different players we manage to talk to -- inside the patriots locker room today we're going to get their thoughts and you're going to hear. Their thoughts first hand on them. The matchup of the Dallas Cowboys coming up on Sunday. -- the list whip Tom Brady Mike Vrabel Roosevelt Colvin. Ellis Hobbs we have Rodney Harrison Sammy -- Wes Welker in Donte' Stallworth. So we're gonna go inside the locker room give you huge uncle. A book book patriot locker room this afternoon in the second our our program we will hear from Dallas Cowboys head coach wade Phillips in his conference call conversation with members of the patriots media and for cowboy fans that might be a bit of a treat for you simple because some. You get a different perspective on how New England fans in New England media more specifically. Are approaching this game as opposed to what you hear in your neck of the woods from those who cover the Dallas Cowboys. Always like here in the other media. Because they sort of they're not so close to a story that they can't see the trees Sunderland were too close to stories and we don't see the obvious things that are out there. Just because we're used to it we cover it every week. So it's always I think you always get a fresher perspective when you hear the opposing team's media. Interview coach -- interview players so any time we have a chance to bring that to you we do so when every week as part of this program we bring -- those conference calls in their entirety. So not only been here the media and how they're approaching what we want to give you the full context. Of the question and the answer to that question -- can understand a little bit more focused you know in this age. This day major soundbites and only in 10152 you know clips sometimes you don't get the full understanding of what. He said. And that's the beauty of this program in the beauty of this program we can bring that we have so wade Phillips -- of the second -- we also hoped to get to that we don't get to a today. We'll get to a tomorrow. Also built to get a cab was quarterback Tony Romo in his comfort cult members of the patriots media earlier today so all of that is coming up on the agenda and let's go to the phones at 5 wait five or threesome worry -- Jason. Listening in from Florida today Jason or -- Gray jays what tournament."
[13:27]" Altered -- course harvick the obvious ones strawberry over so well applause I think it's what you -- I picked it out running game is there."
[13:41]" I -- let me turn this around just a little bit because while I don't necessarily disagree and I think Tony Romo. Is going to be a very very good quarterback he obviously struggled on Monday night but. Look look at this also from -- in offense versus defense match up rather than position by position. So if Tony Romo you know is considered a liability in your mind you know bid does the patriots say front seven do they favored you know are you favor them in that particular matchup."
[14:10]" I do court -- flavor you know these little -- you know ability to confuse them. I don't know if you saw -- all that I can imagine. The patriots that are you know there's arson -- it would do."
[14:24]" Well let's take let's take those seven or six turnovers out of the equation -- completely out of the equation pretend they didn't happen even though we know they did but take him out of the equation now and don't you see because what dallas' average offensively talk about the top two offensive teams now in the entire NFL -- five weeks in terms of not only yardage gain but also points scored. So can't you respectively CI think that the cowboys have some ability there."
[14:50]" I think you know until it but there -- also going up again it was sort of more decent and well you know I don't think it's. I don't going to -- quite as well I think you know. They do it Thomas have LT running back yet another game aren't also on the I think. I got secondary -- what they have got TO and it's you know. Look at 300 you know it's resist you want it I don't I don't think it's nearly cost him."
[15:24]" Well I'd have to coincide with a -- particular spread right now I think it again though if you could end up being closer if if the patriots credible reports they haven't really done that yet this year so but you can never say never because each week is a separate entity in different from any other week which is why don't -- can put a lot of stock in you know the cowboys and and and Tony Romo having. You know suffering from six turn over themselves this last week because they still won the football game. Granted it was buffalo they still want to -- so you know when you have two teams. That a matched up in relatively similar in a lot of ways on the same side of the football. It's basically going to bear down to which teams -- going to stand up better and if you if you playing a big eight field position game. Then you you're going to give you deepens a better chance to succeed so cowboys in the kicking game in which by the way my -- Jason four an edge for the cowboys would be in the kicking game at this stage of the game and in the probably a lot of patrons since that would agree if if the cowboys do take advantage of this perceived edge in the kicking game. Then who's to say that they can't keep the media the patriots on their heels -- a position wise and actually give the cowboys deep into which may be. Maybe the weaker link here it may give them a leg up in the back."
[16:38]" Aren't aren't as look at remained very helpful los or points right -- they're not going to all the page street. It's -- On the about a cooperative then that's just it's just knock outs and so you check all the respect not a game and I don't think -- was legal channels these it looked up paperwork critical matchup but if you watch the game -- in the context of not equals."
[17:07]" want you to this four minute. Once you give me a matchup that you think could be a toss up"
[17:15]" all like. -- artists you know I don't I tactic that rookie did you but I mean that's that's going got a little it was fuel from a Almonte a marked down on our ogletree Canada everyone else -- you know. I'm I'm are actually called watch as far as like in the ovals that spirit of you moved here. On you know as Spartan all the clutch I would say. They're the line is pretty good compared RD line. Blah blah I don't think their secondary -- I think you'll like oh it is in the program that's what Williams's -- severely overrated. And of course or improper about it. -- yeah."
[18:05]" I'll buy that I think that the cowboys defense is improving rapidly. I think they've got a little bit better each and every week I think last week in particular against buffalo oh we saw how quick they are from sideline to sideline they can get penetration. So once again the overall quickness I think could conceivably give the patriots some trouble but you have to like the way that the patriots offensive -- is certainly started out this. This year because the -- it what I believe it's the the offense is given up a combined to five turnovers in sacks 25 weeks -- negatives -- that that's all it is so you'd have to say it's pretty good start."
[18:43]" Yeah one -- but I just whatever else is that hard to get my reservation in Paris on."
[18:48]" not. Are you one of those days in the think 16 know."
[18:53]" Now all I do army I start I agreement but I don't look by you know what that means it's -- but it's impossible. But I look at Indy schedule I think it's possible for them well though."
[19:06]" Sure is. Yeah in fact I think more so than other -- the patriots have one of the toughest schedule we're still to go in the entire NFL if you look at the you know that the power rankings and you look at the combined won lost record of opponents and and everything else when -- considerate so I mean the fact that you know I realize it's fun to talk about it and it causes controversy in. Ever body you know gets old -- over talk about the stuff that makes for great media and in good stories but I mean let's face it it's going to be darn near impossible. And even whoever wins this game whether it's New England whether it's Dallas on Sunday. The survivor this game to go six and oh. Is still going to be Vick almost you don't near impossible. For them to do that to -- ten more weeks without a loss so you know could you just don't know what can happen week to week with the injuries or. Or anything else when teams play with a backs against the wall and and we mentioned this we -- this you know a couple of times over the last couple weeks since the conversation first started after I think like we do around here and the fact is is that you know the -- point -- 12 or 13 you know. You know you might have to think in and you're going up against teams that are really playing desperate to even get in the playoffs. You might see a scenario where did you know the pats. Don't necessarily put all of their their apples in the cart so to speak in particular some of the back of play a little bit the second half and you know hey if they lose they lose it but the Islamist home field advantage for the playoffs is clenched. Of the the going to lose too much sleep over lose in the gamer --"
[20:29]" I want to -- these schedule you know especially goat now and Andy. I think you know -- on knowledge as the rest of the dictate whether you know we're gonna you know have all started games and well obviously Thomas until right into the site experience anyway and work well once you want about."
[20:54]" What he's still scheduled to come back after weeks six he can he can. Anybody on the PUP in the physically unable to perform more the pup list as people call it is eligible to come back after weeks six I know he's been working out same as Troy brown. Other have been Troy brown sightings in the locker room but they're only eligible to come off after weeks six it would have to be after next week number one and then number two you have I think a two week exemption of which to decide what to do within you either. Activate him or you potentially put them on -- R for the rest of the year so we really have the rest of this week in all of next week before a decision has to be made."
[21:33]" Are all appreciated Jason thanks for take in the take the time to it was a -- It is final 85437482 that's the telephone number and no matter where you may believe listening.
