Went into another week to me just remarkable resilience by the patriots in general. Welcome to Toyota's patriots today. Brought to you guys that Toyota tundra."

Play from 0:44[0:44]" Hi everybody I'm Kristi asked -- Wednesday there was so much talk about after Monday night game and were wrapping it all up today. -- take a look at the patriots deep then that one took to put a stop. The ravens running game the -- joined Bryan in studio with a recap let's start with some news in. Monday's ten matchup against the ravens was the highest -- money I. Football game of the season. You make an interpreter 60 minutes the patriots fought every second of let's have a day off for the team today. About six senate conference call this morning -- yeah specifically for the coaches to get prepared as possible. -- tight games cats are looking at three home games in a row starting with the Steelers. Back to practice on Thursday. He can have out I'm your pick for the top player of week 13 let's take a look at the choices."

Play from 1:56[1:56]" I stripping the ball for the patriots to recover at the end of the first. -- McGahee may have been honor roll the entire game. The patriots they stopped the run -- winning. In two with three -- trailer for the first down more than 60. Keep the patriots to lie. Or gas -- clips can't Steve please doing."

Play from 2:27[2:27]" They're outing from Paul for willow was at the latest on the wind over the rain and now Bryant got to look. And what -- the patriot defense played in the big victory."

Play from 2:37[2:37]" The focus in the wake of the patriots my. With the world it's 400 he -- we didn't want it wasn't like they're more efficient -- A lot of games over the last ten years. We knew it was going to be tough. In fact reading Lawson Wes Welker at their lowest combined output of the season. We've got Martin. We're fluids on this particular. But the most glaring problem for the -- Monday night was in -- deep sense of Willis McGahee had the highest rushing total private patriots opponent this year. We -- That didn't happen with -- McGahee is good runner it was -- this. Without this it is and that it good did -- look -- them. Someone we played well he someone we -- BJ he had lunch for nine and seven. He plays on the first drive of the third quarter. Six of the ravens eight plays in the game carries -- Baltimore easily. The -- you several different defensive -- against the ravens. But as far as when defense goes not much seemed to work."

Play from 4:05[4:05]" Doesn't matter with the car that we'll part of it but it didn't get time. It was at 43 Fortson -- The hotel room."

Play from 4:18[4:18]" Can't we just him. Before its success we hope teams coming -- town and it's something we've always have pride in do it right in right now. And I just can't let that happen so we're going to go back to -- well a lot of film we'll -- yeah. Can't allow teams come in they just don't -- this model model who unlucky to face with the removal of it."

Play from 4:41[4:41]" It will be -- challenge to make corrections by this Sunday a short week your preparation. Before facing the NFL's so. In the ninth from Pittsburgh Steelers will beat -- all around continually challenging stretch for the cats."

Play from 5:00[5:00]" Sooner we -- two games for both them. Wasn't there it's -- yeah I don't Millen that this is supposed spots when government so hopefully they'll coach -- let us just moved to give political life."

Play from 5:18[5:18]" Well looks like -- not -- was open for the players are off today they will be back tomorrow we'll hear from them in the locker room. We -- back after that."

Play from 5:43[5:43]" The full size Toyota tundra. The truck pitch change you at all."

Play from 5:53[5:53]" Welcome back to patriots today Bryant in the studio now with -- breaking down the ravens scheme."

Play from 6:04[6:04]" Christina thank you Paul it was one of the more bizarre yet interesting intriguing endings of the game that we've seen Charlie this year but really can -- be ever what was your perspective on that last drive and which of the incredible plays sticks on your mind most -- I don't know -- there was one specifically but just. What when you have all of those four pounds and with this team has made its winning being tough to stop they always make the plays."

Play from 6:28[6:28]" They have to but. What Donovan what can -- time fourth found it stopped false. Race scrambles of all things -- for the media the last one and they get down into the -- liner in the red zone and again. What down balls and complete it comes the flag to me just remarkable resilience by the patriots in general but I guess if you can ask if you won player of the what the last one Jabar Gaffney -- me catch all night seems to be one of those guys he flies under the radar but when he does make catches they always seem to be this."

Play from 7:00[7:00]" There were so many plays and it was an unbelievable ending and now we've never really seen -- like that but. Let's go back to these first 57 minutes of the game because there's stuff to talk about there offensively for the patriots in. This has been discussed they still scored 27 points it was still pretty effective out of but both Randy moss and Wes Welker they have the lowest you know combined output of the season and Wes Welker. Is -- key third down guy and third down was a major differences can't talk about the play of those two guys."

Play from 7:25[7:25]" What happened there yet they struggle badly on third down and that's also atypical of what we've come to. You don't think double -- expect from Tom Brady -- the patriots offense I thought that Baltimore did a good job as Philadelphia did a couple of weeks ago. Physical I was smoker. -- these guys. Practice squad type guy not it wasn't like with Indianapolis statement putting marlin Jackson wanted to starting quarters on so that was somewhat relaxed not physically. Baltimore really rough them up they probably got away with several penalties that weren't calls. Rodney Harrison specifically talked about this after the game they got me handled defensively they really knew that. Dating to the edge on those model model battles is Rodney Harrison put it. Defensively they let Willis McGahee one all over them. Where the problems decent. Well I think the problems on defense -- a lot bigger than anything that would talk and what offensively I still think as you pointed out accurately they're scoring so I'm not really all that concerned about. The offense but defensively when Rodney Harrison makes -- comment. When he's asked about to get pushed around a lot he said. Of course we did it's the first time I can remember we will bullet. When have you ever heard those kinds of terms with a Bill Belichick defense so. I was very much concerned by that looked -- again Baltimore did nothing fancy Brian they ran Willis McGahee with the tackles right between the tackles and for the most part. They couldn't stop them until the very end of the game when he sold out to stop the run by putting Rodney up there and to run his credit it was Harris and made big plays at the end to get the ball back."

Play from 9:00[9:00]" Harrison saying he got -- he saw time efforts to receive some guy kisses wants them from Brian billick. Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh Steelers coming in this week aside many -- being blown. It doesn't get much easier especially that run defense but this is going to be challenging game where you think the biggest challenges are with the Steelers -- them why I think the challenges here Pittsburgh can doable. And you know two weeks ago Philadelphia used passing game AJ -- Outs this past week in Baltimore was a lot of the ground in watching Pittsburgh people I think that's where the problems arise for the patriots defense they're going to have to get their problems settled up front start. Because it can't stop the run you can't stop any. In my opinion they're going to need to get those techniques worked out a lot of the defensive -- talked about that but also -- going to get after the passer a little bit and get Roethlisberger to the ground which is and not an easy task. And it an appetite at the coverage look back at I don't think the 12 an. I don't want to say that the sky is falling because I don't think it is and the patriots are very much still the best team in football but defensively they feel a little vulnerability. -- in the playoff -- Africa which polled go a little more in depth on patriots Steelers matchup later in the week with his five points but for now let's go back to."

Play from 10:09[10:09]" I'll be back in on Friday with five points on the Steelers and will be back right after the us."

Play from 10:22[10:22]" Please I hope that. Isn't it lovely there you really."

Play from 10:31[10:31]" This year it's the perfect pitch. Instant games this season tickets from the lottery. The full size included tundra. The truck that's changing at all."

Play from 10:56[10:56]" On Thursday we're getting started on the Steelers is the patriots had back to practice in week 14. Plus plus the latest from the players in the locker room as they -- for the weekend at the for Wednesday we'll be back with more to --"

Randy Moss On-Field Interview - 8/15/2008 

New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss addresses the media during his on-field interview on Friday, August 15, 2008 at Gillette Stadium. Q: What made you decide to re-sign with the New England Patriots? RM: First and foremost, we have some unfinished business. I like the camaraderie around here, especially in the locker room and on the field. They have a great group of guys in the locker room. I think that is all you can ask for. Coach [Bill] Belichick understands football and understands his players. He puts us together as one and we come together as a team. That is something you can respect playing in this profession and in this league. Q: As much success as the offense had last year, how excited are you to get back on the field? RM: Well, I am actually kind of nervous. The reason why is because of what we did last year as a whole unit. We are going to try and come out and put points on the board. That is what we are coached and asked to do. The expectations and bar are set so high here. Not by you all [media] or the fans but just by the coaches and the team. We have high expectations for this offense and this team as a unit. With what we did last year, I don’t think we can live and dwell off that because that was last year. Like I said before there is a little bit of nervousness because of how high the bar is set here. Q: Tom Brady said earlier this week that he felt you guys were way ahead of where you all were at last year at this point. What do you think about that? RM: The good thing that I can say about our offense, and I am speaking for myself, is that you have guys who came in a little late last year with [Jabar] Gaffney, myself, Chad Jackson was hurt last year and [Wes] Welker came in last year. For us to have a whole off-season and training camp under our belts to really understand the offense is scary. That is why I say I am nervous because there is really no telling what we are going to do. The bar is set high and we will see wh...
