[0:10]" The full sized Toyota tundra yeah. The truck that's changing at all."

[0:17]" Coming up on Toyota's patriots today there's still so much to talk about surrounding. Only competitive game and we're hearing from everybody today. -- Bryant -- Troy Aikman Ruthie Colvin and brags that run down thoughts from another hall of Famer. Leah thinks. It's like -- game matters. Friday that action this and it not to -- game. It's becoming historical event. Unbelievable talent and two top teams -- to one last look at where these teams stand heading into the weekend let's start with some news and yeah you're right -- Morris placed on I R and will miss the rest of the season. Pitchers wrapped up preparation for the cold from the Dana Farber field how they're setting campaign rally. Compare her game yeah. Plus size of the secondary and special. Is back after missing the red. And -- Mitchell was back in action after missing the last three. Watkins was not. For the full -- white out. Marvin Harrison who's missed two of the last three games did not practice. Tony Dungy and -- if Hairston doesn't practice Thursday. I'd say -- Just stay away from the -- there's so far patriots are ready."

[1:59]" The drivers. And those always we always did good game you know everybody always Washington -- the have forfeited and so. From -- big game great challenge for both you know our parents I would imagine both are the fourth it was. I think he's going each week you know already Dolan and downs based on the mariners are flying zones in the NFL advising anybody and there's some answers your -- masters week in week out."

[2:24]" Tennessee -- now with Hall of Fame where acting and arena thanks for joining us. Thank you glad to be what is your thoughts and that this again."

[2:32]" Well you know it's it's funny when you look around the league I think it's it's like no game matters you know because does that impact of these two teams both being undefeated and the history. Of these things in the past in the fact that the colts won -- Super -- last year and the principles of papers of one. I was going to be exciting game. Scores on concern when looking at the game mean. It's you have two great offensive football teams who really good the fences but it's gonna come down to you know whose current -- over who's making big plays no one really counts and and you know that's what makes football great to know effective. That you got two teams two great quarterbacks and and teams to play that societal level the same match -- vote's going to be on the walks would you say is the -- hasn't had during now. Well you know I think that the patriots because of what they've done an off season with Andy Randy moss who was walker and install -- receiving group they have moves already here I mean it's it's a big advantage for them -- came but you know Indianapolis and home. They very rarely -- at home and are tough team a little -- seems like they're quicker team on the turf you know in the dome there so. Home but I would say an advantage because allowing a home ratings plan right now I'm in the office the patriots would give them an advantage in this --"

[3:49]" So as saying Hall of Fame quarterback looking at these still. Top players right -- top quarterback in the NFL when your thoughts about the meaning and very well I nothing but respect from those guys in -- month but."

[3:59]" Played what position for a long time and just. You know the work ethic you know how they can only get it and I really you know understand the game in and that's the way they perform at a high level each and every week I think something that you have to really admire. About both of those guys and just you know how accurate they are. On the prize being taken their profession what they do in -- you know they win and they win."

[4:23]" A lot be exciting game to watch tennis coming into hey Andrea have more patriots coming up for an ethic. We'll be right back with portfolios patriots today after the."

[4:47]" The full sized Toyota tundra. The truck that changing at all."

[4:57]" I'm going to see an out by Roosevelt Colvin has gone through. Eagle I was dollars and and he"

[5:02]" well most people that know -- me after scoop on the road the my family and friends these -- coming through this nickname is that comes -- one the third so I would have loved -- been trade Aramis who -- you know on my mom called me through. That we took three chips for -- be born school minors there. That's great team -- trip I don't know all the president knows my name is typically like and -- and."

[5:35]" And I. I felt good great game against the Redskins -- first touchdown had a field."

[5:39]" If Belgrade I think anytime you get opportunity get in zone -- would you know sub volume again. Is definitely for the team but something -- been want to do for a long a couple of tests and college and got my first and hopefully it's more as we did."

[5:55]" They should do more off during her -- So this this group of linebackers that you're going to what is it like to be -- people can kind of tight."

[6:01]" The it's slugger and a group brothers I think when I first got here. They already have a good with affinity with the Roman Phifer Larry Mike was here dictated him when I got here was sort of they added me and to sort of given different -- different feel and as the years have gone by we've a lot of different guys like Don Davis myself Tully Banta-Cain last recent uses the young guys with Alexander appear wounds few. We just like the -- have fun -- we you know sort of joke with each other a lot of hopefully each other but it makes the working atmosphere very. Some kind of an education that someone must go through. To formally that the group not necessarily that they know what we expect of ourselves with excellence we try to go out and perform no expected to know what to do. Be accountable and I think. This group -- you know if you want to look at admirable because -- is all about professionalism all about you know making plays and winning games and doing whatever the team he's in the due to win the game. We try to -- I."

[7:08]" At the colts coming up and despite all the hype that everything is this considered -- guys a different level. Of playing considering you've base you worked every team that you played so far this season."

[7:18]" Well I think if you look at consistency in the NFL and the colts definite one of those things it. So's a year in you room Ross what point this season it is. They're going to do with it they would want to do when they're trying to do but they can't and so his difficulty of tough task the book there because -- way to slow them down. Offensively to put points on the board and special teams to create through -- and so there's definitely the toughest tests that we had today you know besting the favorite you know write off about 12 for -- run since last season. You know last crucible champions that'd be just three times and that's how we played -- so well you know we've got to work out well. -- your hometown -- trip back home yeah and a you know I had that my mother was telling me that there a couple of things that if it needs to be done around the store some chips that need to be install in the computers in this. You know different stuff so I don't know if I have time to do that would every time I -- a great opportunity to see. Family friends the opportunity to play in front of them this will be my second time playing in the RC you know and so is is definitely opportunity for me to go out and have a good time so case with talent that I've been blessed with and hopefully you you know like a lot of my family friends are colts fans so sort of mixed feelings both you know we'll try to get the job done and please everybody hope we come away."

[8:37]" Does that add to that pressure and the excitement just -- that there and stands there's a kind of like not necessarily out of the."

[8:42]" Yeah I try to tune it out you know more added pressure I enjoyed -- from my family and -- from a friend's because you know obviously those of people that you know. Fans of fans you don't really know them specifically personally but to have people that are close -- you do it so or or help. Develop you into who you are today is if especially for me hope you know I think humans have."

[9:05]" Well good luck let it and hopefully well this is an hour -- edited coach spell check breakdown."

[9:19]" Likely to Bill Belichick time got to look at it summer plays of the week from the Washington win in them Mike dribbles and be the focus here and the stuff is very interested to pay attention. Well the first this is Mike dribbles first strip sack and of course in all the highlights are on on might make in the strip in it was a great play but you know one of things that that makes it happened here is the team defense and he could see that the second there's been a good job of jamming these redskin receivers now kind of pile up there. And nobody open for the quarterback to throw the ball to and then you know as they they finally separate you know then then nailed it -- in the coverage with a -- player behind Norman and that forces the quarterback hold on the ball which gives Mike a chance to get there. Again as it as it applies to team defense so we'll see from the end zone and and look at the pass rush first of all colon has of of Rubin -- here on las Samuel and and that get now holding penalty there which -- see that flag and then in the second. -- boat over on the left side Mike is messed up against sellers. And I he come up over sets and so Mike comes inside on NB support us. And then as Campbell's kano you know wait for somebody to get open over here -- able to track him down he does a great obvious good bowler in essence is that ball and down their low. As it'll knock it out and and morgue at the recovery. That's great if -- team defects the coverage allowed the extra time -- great movement on two players that's going to Campbell. And thought that one hesitation bring the ball down just wasn't open that's that's what you're looking force there's for the quarterback to not be able to get rid of on timing at the hole at that split second longer here's the less act as the third intense situation and again it starts with with good coverage here I think that. Campbell's book going to get the ball to slot who's pretty all covered any falls down down here on the backside this is -- run crossing pattern you can see -- safety drive on him and has ten double cover so. You know once again there there really isn't much to do in must than anybody throw two -- and passing game. -- it'll come around the corner and then against strip Campbell and and the sign -- picks it up for a touchdown here to see what happens this is -- starts up the field. And other tackle weights that's out there to get on and now junior comes on all late blitz and Jews actually has the back here has porous and now porous comes off who was he was going to help re able finale comes in in and takes a junior. And nobody takes -- also -- they kind of start off with two guys on comment ended up with -- non. Again good team defense on the past roster are coming inside junior hit a gap there draw on the block awful vote for able and then my coming around -- corner. Again have a good ball awareness here and and strip on an out. Bounced right to -- nice nice ending to that flight began."

[12:09]" Everybody 11 people doing did not much fun to somebody else's job and it works that's the case if that's the case all right. I'm playing I sits and watches Kansas who will some of them might be -- comes and he's announced to the stadium dollar 50s and all of a receiver how is he not -- let's review this explains to me."

[12:25]" All right well here's the here's the goal line play against Washington and and now this place starts off to deal looks like Iran with the -- cleanup and side and in every block on line of scrimmage and Mike's going to blocked the corner here Washington and and that's safeties don't look to -- one -- that gap right there and of course what happens is Mike instead of blocking on this kind of slip some Washington's off balance and there's mics and a out in the end zone please other practiced early it's -- there's an astonishing how wide open you sometimes well it's you know it if you can make it look like a Ryan playing get those guys the step up their life like they're doing. On the two yard line and you know only to do -- get in there behind him as -- it's a nice job okay now. Earlier this season than his the same look at -- from the and so right. Again again you can see that. How to how love Taylor steps up there that gap that the try to fill for the wrong but in the meantime you know -- of Washington and you know it's too late."

[13:23]" And the -- linebackers abuse in outside your office phone -- but I don't know why are there. I so if you're the Redskins are looking at a previous game similar place -- formation with dribble and motion. And this time you run the ball."

[13:35]" Right -- the player that we ran against Washington gets up off of this fight with Mike coming in motion just just like he did against the Redskins and and this is the play the Redskins are watching from the Dallas game or Mike comes over blocks that a I'll watch the outside guy he leads up inside and -- scores on this place though. You know that's because this works. The passports -- bright again it's one place that not the other end and you know this is you know pretty clean touchdown he comes and makes a nice block. You know Michael goes and Stan and -- You know when -- the next team that's that's coming after game want to play like that you thinking about okay what do we gotta do to stop this play and and you know is great play call by Josh does the -- this one and and then you know put -- behind it and and Washington was over resonant and lost them when when you guessed it I was -- coached it very much -- like -- I'll check with our plays of the week."

[14:27]" We just heard from Dan Marino let's get another hall of famers perspective. Here's a look at our hatred I'll accept interview with Troy Aikman."

[14:35]" But maybe at the start of the season patriots have more than made up that four point deficit can you convince me that the colts have also improved to where maybe that is not so obvious"

[14:49]" not well you know what I think that I think that the point that you make about. Knowing line and you know where they have come. -- I look at this island this New England teams say well this defense has been good for a along time and and you can start nitpicking and that's what we're all and do you know with every team and especially when that your hometown team you can look at the things that they don't do it well but. But this differences has been really good for a long time and offensively that they've obviously been good to and that's why we're gonna win like there's been -- win but I think with what they've added that offensive puzzle has allowed them to now be where -- at this year where is Indianapolis are kind of coming out of that an opposite way you know where they've always been explosive offensively. Defensively is where hey you know we've got to do a better job of slowing people down. And so defensively they've done that Agassi now these are two teams. That are pretty well rounded and complete teams that. It it may not be you know 3026 ball in 31 point seven ball -- you know -- lower scoring game but it's it's a game I think pits two teams that. That are just very comparable."

[16:01]" To see the entire interview in tune into patriots all access this Saturday at that we -- that the more patriots day right after it. We'll be right back with board Toyota's patriots today after the."

[16:23]" The full sized Toyota tough. The truck that's changing at all."

[16:33]" Yeah welcome back to Toyota's patriots today at next got a little analysis for you on what those teams are made up here's five points of Paul Burrell."

[16:49]" For example if you get together how. The patriots secondary handle those Indianapolis -- big question Mark heading in Marvin Harrison didn't play last week that -- If he does play this week how effectively team we have really good and the media Indianapolis conference now that you. I'm a little concerned about Ellis Hobbs I think the Sox have within every bit as good. Effective as it was last year but -- type thing. Has been picked on a little bit if you have Harrison in the wings. Now he's got a couple one of those guys not play like that matchup that's something I think it's apples it's. There are five points we always -- the with some wrinkles in -- the wrinkle to this game. The patriots receivers against the colts secondary we often talk about that -- Indian women get together. Randy moss Wes Welker Donte' Stallworth these guys have been -- no one's closest cutting them down yet. I'm not sure the colts' secondary is capable of doing that despite their -- statistics there. At the top of the league and in pass defense I love the adjustments they've made they've got rid of guys that absolutely couldn't play over the is Jason David David -- when he's got all gone over the like nick harper the last three seasons. Marlin Jackson Kelvin Hayden and there are these guys have. Major upgrades even secondary -- Bob Sanders obviously the guy gets on the offensive end one day it is also excellent player. I think the colts are both in the secondary but ain't seen nothing like this patriots after the attack I look for the patriots."

[18:18]" To put a lot of points on the board."

[18:22]" I'd where we go into these games when talking about the colts running game because I think in the past even -- Edgerrin James was there and -- his his height of -- production. Angle relative was content to let the colts on the ball. Put that you know but that's an emphasis on the secondary this time around -- Joseph Addai. Really coming into his own I think he's a very productive back I think he's doing things that any offense -- James wasn't capable of he may have been a better Ron are more powerful runner. But it guy can do so many different things. The patriots are going to have to show up and stop the run. With less guys and you normally are asked to do it because you have to obviously be concerned with the passengers so died benefits from that extra space he gets both in the running game and out of the backfield. A big factor election AFC championship game Joseph Addai is a got to watch on Sunday. You know we can't -- and sometimes he did -- with all the success and we would like to consider ourselves more sophisticated sports fans and in doing so at times when things aren't going well I think we tend to get a little bit negative in. Sit on our hands what didn't happen Indianapolis this is a major major home field advantage last year. And that aforementioned AFC championship game 21 of three New England fans would have been. Devastated and thought they were going home. Those colts fans never lost faith never lost hope they continue to scream and yell to the point where the VFW experts in the press box kind of mocking them -- dancing. Stop believing go home this game's over. Before you know what the second half they were back in that place was as loud as any venue. The patriots have experienced including super balls indoors outdoors this is a major factor on Sunday. What I can't get enough for the hype this game but this indoors at the RCA dome -- big edge in Indianapolis."

[20:03]" All right prediction time you know I'm not going to get also people -- you predict a 73 game I think that I think the point going to be scored and did you a lot of them the question I have how long it takes coming -- big plays a lot like it's simple the defense is. Sitting back a little bit giving the underneath stuff be taken with a big place now sometimes. The patriots drive against Washington opening game at 14 play nine guys that took over seven minutes. -- had to drive after this game might. It's still smallpox. Mike the patriots really high school game somewhere in the neighborhood 4135 but. It's going to be a tight one out of -- it's. If you can't get -- for this when you don't have a pulse on all furlough -- in my five point this week."

[20:51]" Now got a quick look at the weather in Indy this weekend for you here's the actual weather forecast."

[21:02]" It's going to be a beautiful weekend in Indianapolis with a high this season -- in the 30s on Saturday. Cory Johnson. A few clouds in the weight in Turkey day it is hardly -- every yeah sounds great but this one. When it comes to football. Let's start him and -- the game time is looking a little. By that I --"

[21:30]" about six catches I don't died on the forecast for the -- will be hard it was my only two. Currently a college game in the NFL the RCA dome it still want -- what an incredible group of by air pressure. Sure whatsoever that. Over eating for a little less than 58000 and -- house need a lot of fun. The only heat ER PA down that should be a factor in the game and fired at patriots -- up -- scoreboard."

[22:00]" Maybe chilly outside but with -- game going on like its chances in my pretty heated inside the RCA down. That's an accurate weather forecast let's go to Bryant now the latest lowdown."

[22:13]" Okay the."

[22:15]" All right thanks Christina will be into the best teams in the NFL the first time that you undefeated teams that we seven wins are ever meeting. And in the best teams since 1999 the only two teams now at least 90 wins. This game is huge -- need to tell you that but here's some other evidence is sure how -- the patriots have drawn huge media crowds here are what stadium but how our best this TV yet. Yes conference call with TV analyst for Sunday. -- launchers crowd as well at 4 O'Clock on -- that the entire country with the exception of the Houston, Texas area will be watching this game. A bigger percentage that pretty much any other week. How about this in Indianapolis where Tony Dungy usually allowed the needed to watch all practice on Wednesday and Thursday morning the first ten minutes. Pretty much stretching yeah we're used to that here but maybe there's something different in the air -- Indianapolis now as far as the game goes I would love to see a tight epic battle like we saw that news you can't you can't call me crazy wouldn't mind some suspense in hatred and but I wouldn't. He -- pivotal lopsided -- of the hatred yet again. Would be surprised if they jump out too early to meet again yet this time they have the being in depth on defense and better hand from their wide receiver on offense to hang onto the lead in the second half. Bottom line don't forget to set your clock for daylight savings time you're not going to want to miss this game. I'm headed out to Indianapolis on Monday we'll marine captain all the reaction has slowed down let's go back to Pristina."

[23:41]" I think Brian will be back with more right after that."

[24:02]" The full sized Toyota tundra. The truck that's changing at all."

[24:09]" On Monday we'll have all the reaction street from Indianapolis and highlights he won't want to miss from the showed. Well the back to patriots today we've got a new edition of patriots all access for you coming up this weekend here's my point for the."
