[0:20]" Yeah more information on this or any other patriots podcast. Patriots dot com. Yeah the leaders of patriots football weekly and we'll leave her grand scheme."

[0:39]" Yeah it's roster when I had an assistant high fast doesn't. Maybe X I'm my grandkids right and I haven't right here at giants stadium -- once again have the PF do you read as any hi I'm and Bob Brown in the all of."

[0:52]" Thanks -- another quiet week basically terms a roster -- you're to a stadium for the patriots but we do have some minor issues to touch on. First and foremost most significantly forward I'd say -- Samuel with the patriots winning their 12 game of the season. Has triggered the closet they agreed to when he came back from his holdout and will now hit the free agent market. Next spring team has obviously agreed not to franchise him again moving forward and in the way he's playing he's going to get paid somewhere and it brings when he has when he -- all along that opportunity negotiate freely on the open market. But that doesn't affect the team right now nor does the fact really that Randy moss was announced as the AFC offensive player of the month for November. Giving the patriots so far area clean sweep of that award Tom Brady won the award in September October. -- for November. Instantly to ever has started that might be some competition elsewhere in the AFC but we'll see how it goes for the that award moving forward to the big issue I guess we have to talk about on the podcast is the injured Eugene will -- He's not injured we know that. He's healthy scratch the last two weeks Paul -- very -- topic and we'll get Paul thoughts on that in just a minute but guys who are on the injury report even -- shoulder that has crept up again he left in the fourth quarter last week Russ Hochstein comes in. And of course everyone knows at the state is he -- and positive false start penalty in the history of football helping the patriots win by jumping off sides on fourth and I kinda cool though for -- likely go undefeated. Because it they'd it was yeah as they watch like you're able guilt beyond something special Sunday NFL network talking about a joke and we know his personality a lot of fun -- enjoy it down the road somewhere but it was even and a patriot pins although. The patriots -- with the penalties E right right field -- I was -- the 11 guys on the field at the right Josh -- joked about it today I wish I'd made the call. I wish I could take credit for that call but I didn't point that and then the other injury Ty Warren -- by those of the two guys that I would -- important on the report Rashad baker has as shown up on the Aaron has always Tom -- on the -- although we just stock -- in the -- yeah actually at last ice on his shoulder and elbow this week -- he has all year most of the year he said. This ridiculous contraption shoulder elbow arm all the way up in the week just a mall on -- on the -- and shoulder but all talk about. The fact that even -- continue to get banged up there was a little bit of discussion today that you know regardless of who's in the this group has performed. But you know talk about how that injury might affect you going forward and the idea that they might have to run the ball -- I."

[3:26]" Think that there's always a look at Hammond and the most important is in bill talked what the today. I think they're pretty seamless regardless of who actually in the game you know when when it -- Ross told minority you know Billy talked about Ryan out Callahan and my -- played. And the -- from an execution point of view. Very little is known I think that's a good time even if Neil is banged up but. Obviously Stephen is dealing with that shoulder problems he was he missed I think three games earlier in the year he missed another one more recently and now he's been in an out of the game a little bit you want a Monday night in Baltimore so. -- to keep an eye on I don't think it's a major deal like I said because of the depth they have but certainly even it was dealing with that --"

[4:08]" Andy's dealt with it all along dating all the way back to his early days you're diving on the -- green day he had surgeries was slow to recover from a -- a lot of issues there so it is something but I agree with you. You know they have some depth there they've you know and they haven't been. A dominant offensive line where you're taking out the key -- that's allowed you to rush for a 180 yards a game as just now they've been doing right -- proven his value. Tom Ty Warren shows up there and I think he's going to placement and he was in the locker room yesterday talk reporters but. How bigger deal with you you know with the way the front has played which isn't all that great lately. How big -- deal would it be if Ty Warren can't go Steelers on that would be huge deal could the guys were good are played up to the ability. -- other players -- like write a decent bat. You know I think Warren will for anymore they got to step up this week. If the Steelers very physical offensive line. And I got a feeling it will while I don't think -- that injured I don't either I think -- and I like you know I I don't think any of these you know Stephen -- is going to deal this off -- on he could be back in -- week whatever. You know Rashad I only Indies and majors like that saves from Mark Buehrle helped -- currency anymore it's right it's often been remarkably healthy and now -- right all -- Williams. Remarkably held the on this -- what -- you know -- what you -- members anymore and you forget about Roosevelt -- looked at your Roosevelt Colvin and listening certainly and I thought -- sorry sorry about that you know partial to cheat you wouldn't buy an iPod but that's it I mean not a lot of -- either Eugene Wilson thing we we touched on earlier. Paul and Jerry Allen really credit you know when it but he's been he would have the ankle injury that kept -- for a while was removed from the and report the ankle showed up with a growing for like one day it was a move that. Basically -- healthy scratch for two weeks added. I don't know I really don't well if he's not injured and I think Belichick. That happened at telecheck analyze too much to cause him to think that -- was starter. And now he's the 11 best offense back. I'm just trying to impossible now but -- think there's a chance that we've ball than they in this now for years I have. That may -- bill was they -- okay this year hopefully the -- that we'll put them justice state the old don't worry about quarter. Angela that he saw the first few games that he just said to himself you know what this is working now -- the cut ties could big. But I don't bills one that -- he will cut ties and I am IUS cut my guess is if we side earlier he would have been an even earlier than that. In his -- all transpired at a quicker rate and I just from what we've seen from -- meriwether. He is just not good out there and -- shot the American he's a better option and it helped the Eugene will miss about. James and exchange and a couple little questions like I'm talking about this is about Rashad baker -- Eddie Jackson -- in America. And I think Mary went -- going to convinced me -- Eugene well in the first four games didn't play better than those three guys out the last two while I'm not -- not even include Jackson and and baker. I think meriwether is guys suddenly goes from not being an option to first dime packages on the field -- your best defense between the other offense in the goal line and we saw him flailing at a at a guy giving up a big play 53 yards whatever was any as the ball bounce off his chest. You know is something going on there we don't have any rhyme or echoed that what ball that well maybe Wilson not -- part of -- in my opinion if you do that under -- rather have. Were shot maker or branded that was why I think there could be some manipulation of the injury report -- Eugene Wilson trying to. -- him into a corner try to get something out of him taking him off the injury report the injury he's aware that people like us are saying we -- Wilson now the 11 best defensive back to healthy scratch and I think there could be something there but that is my -- speculation I'd be -- and had been -- make sure that they get them off the injury reports of those no injury -- anything like but it is a curious situation and we don't. You know will -- never really know -- a 100% answer of what the truth is there but. The issue is the bigger issue patriots relatively healthy so I warned we expect to play even -- He plays he's better if not rest -- I can do the job. That's going to do it on the roster report back to Lorie thanks guys and and and thank you for downloading podcasts from patriots dot -- any job.
