That's pretty impressive but they don't go ten and six you know then yeah you could certainly case Dick Jauron absolutely.

"...
[0:00]" Let's tell guns don't count blowing out also want to go pot why. That they've won -- pair -- patriots plate we'll go back on combat caught. Breaking down last Sunday yeah.

[0:41]" That's exchange we've had probably end all I don't know. Years this -- Sally actually came on board via double. And they had the lead just what it was getting good. -- inside patriots playbook everybody would -- the program on patriots dot com ready for Wednesday. My name is John -- you know hey if -- supporting and believing that the job that Wes Welker did on the field. Makes me a homer that that was good job good enough to earn all pro it that makes me home -- what. Calmly homer Simpson -- because I happen to think he deserved to go easier huge number well maybe not. He's probably not as -- I was maybe some like Fred Taylor to be honest with. -- the Fred Taylor deserves to go here's a guy that got 10000 you know career rushing yards in the NFL and didn't get a sniff but again and he arguably had a good year too so frankly. Well you know if you're going to add somebody to the list yes you have to take somebody off with my exchange was. You know I think Wes -- and includes to go about Braylon Edwards had a great year did he not deserve to go of course not. Of the guys that didn't go well I thought you know hey T. J. Houshmandzadeh certainly deserves. Well Randy Moss certainly -- groups so do you take off -- Braylon Edwards. I've pretty much yet and they're referring to room for those that are did not know back it up your little bit -- because them the last couple mornings have been doing. The morning -- on WEEI Boston for John Bennett who has been myself and Gerry Callahan. And you know in course I was getting roasted over the cold this morning yeah while -- post articles as -- for the patriot homer. -- don't call he was listening but he didn't call. And they thought they accuse me being a patriot homers because I was trying to make the case for Wes Welker. Back -- point seven more receptions Braylon Edwards -- Edwards has more yards yes he has. Larger yards per catch but that's what he was asked to do within the confines of his offense. He was asked to be the big play guy. Well what are not -- to big big -- the patriots often you know and I had everybody else in common Fred and everybody and even in. Even he knows that was walker isn't asked to do that and the patriots offense. He's asked to do could be the possession guys have to be the safety guys asked to be that the safety valve he's asked to be. You know in the running game he's asked to be open five yards downfield so we can pick up a first down. Kind of guy and he did that better than anybody in the NFL I would argue. Just based on the number of catches -- he's going to set the patriots record for receptions in a season in -- television that's not pro bowl worthy police. Based on pure talent alone of course there's no there is no comparison. Braylon Edwards is six foot nineteen. You know and he runs you know -- 3740 mean compared to -- it was -- five foot -- I understand that. Athletically no comparison. But based on what he did for this team. I've maintained since early in the season but Wes walker was as valuable to his team as anybody else and that includes Tom Brady because of the -- Old that he fulfills. Who wants would fulfill the role if he didn't do it. And would they have had as much success even if you divide the but he would they have added much success as walker did I argue no. They wouldn't. So that was my mind. My idea fight for inclusion of walker -- answer he got snubbed but it's well. I can make case for will -- over Edwards and that was my argument in court tiger called homer. And a fine I don't care. You know bullet up the rear ends does about bother me at all -- stayed with the -- in my convictions you'll be happy to know number one and number two got a guy from a -- football facts dot com who you know as. We've mentioned several times on this program during the season he he backed me up on. He got based on the number of catches -- 27 more receptions I think that's significant. That's -- season for the catches for some receivers. So you know again that which is just might my argument today now obviously eight patriots were selected to the AFC probable that all late deserved ago. Was there a snub in your estimation that's question number one I'd like point two today web radio act patriots dot com what do you think my argument of of Welker. Over Edwards. Agree disagree. In my in my right in my off my rocker you agree with -- that you know I don't know what I'm talking about hey let me know what you think. You'll -- to take my back on this went fine -- I'd love to hear part. I happen to think that he deserved to gonna I think you know apparently he may get ago. Based on injuries and back outs and the other is I think we all know that. You know as far as the injury report is concerned with a probable and everybody on the team is questionable. Right now in Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in you know in and probably. Three quarters of the AFC team are trying to figure aren't you know this is great how can I scored trip to Hawaii -- not like. Well -- with the pro bowl game is the biggest joke before professional All Star Games begin. It actually as a means nothing. They should just named the team in -- name them all pro and be done with the game -- stupid but we understand that there are those of you who live in Hawaii. And there are those people bullpen to have to have -- more football fix you know after the superbowl okay I'll buy that to an extent. And so voila we come up -- this you know -- all star game known as probable. Which you know means nothing. But overall you know they're going to play the game so you can play the game -- put -- players on the team and I'm sure there are some guys especially those that are. You know relatively young and certainly being named the team for the first time who actually don't give a darn. About the veterans. Careless they -- like anymore skiers will be this year because he sort of feels vindicated somewhat by his you know. It's re emergence as a threat in the NFL because of his coming in England playing the patriots whose sole you know is that possible. I think the significant thing to note of the patriots getting elected to the pro bowl squad yesterday it was -- the three offensive lineman. Are all stars in the same season for the first time since the AFL NFL merger in 1970. So that's significant and and that should give you a bit of an idea of how good a season Tom Brady usually had why because he's been able to stay upright he's had great protection. The patriots are only for the second time in the last twenty years. Going to end up averaging better than four yards per carry on the ground just the second time in the last twenty years are going to -- this. Got that little tidbits from Mike -- Boston Globe. Who did the research given credit here. So -- Whether it's run blocker pass block. The offensive line has done -- and they definitely deserved it now frankly I didn't think that -- open would go because I know he missed a little time earlier in the year -- an injury. He was named ultimately out of the eight guys he was the one player that was named as an alternate the other seven were named as starters I you know everybody seemed to been talking talked -- Logan Mankins you know he is one of the guards now in the entire league Matt light we all I think could agree that has had his best season as a pro whether or not that was pro bowl caliber. Okay subject to conjecture. But again I think in light of the fact of the season the Brady has had. And the season the patriot -- had that the offensive linemen are the recipients of that good fortune. Not saying they don't deserve to go I personally was a little surprised. They've met like deserved a gold Wes Welker well you know that's kind of an apples and oranges thing. You know may be there weren't as many quality tackles having great seasons as they were receivers having great seasons. I think that's that's likely. So I would ask you what you think the glaring omission might be on the patriots team. Who was left out that should have been on Brady open light Mankins moss from the offense. Samuel -- able Wilfork from the defects. Who was left off that deserve to go. Legacy if you agree or disagree with the welcome argument. China web radio at patriots dot com come of the program here just about a couple of minutes in fact the way Jeff Darlington covered the dolphins for the Miami herald they'll join us here in the program -- celebrating a win in Miami. The reason to be excited be that will -- gentle but that women -- Agassi is in fact in today's Miami herald. The only the -- says that he's willing to give up 49% of his shares. Of ownership in the dolphins. What does that mean to the team if indeed he's able to find a buyer for almost half of the team. We'll talk to him about that we will also what you hear later on the program today from the patriots pro bowl players. Who made available to medium so what -- here from the patriot pro bowlers themselves. Here in the program of course patriots head coach Bill Belichick also will have his congress each one members of the patriots media from earlier today Angela stating that'll all -- coming on the program day but. Right now it's all what you it's all the pro bowl at all about the selection process it's all about who you'd think got snubbed at. Well who deserve to go. Who did not deserve to go is there any money in that list -- they that you kind of think."
[10:24]" No."
[10:26]" Maybe Welker may be somebody else would have been a better fit. I mean how did you do the research have -- in the -- I know I have several of you listen this program regularly but take the time to -- and do that research. Want to hear from -- today. Did you know media and fans of the vote in the big unit right. I am I guess over in an overall scheme of things I have a little bit of a problem -- yet the patriots sent eight okay that's that's fine. That's great. On the April bowlers tied the 1985 team with the most patriots probable players since the -- of Villanova merger in 1970. But it a year which you're fourteen now and you're staring immortality in the things. Didn't deserve to get maybe a little bit more of a bump. Did you deserve to get a one or two more mentions here I mean after all your talk about a season is going to go down in the record books in NB talked about like 72 dolphins forever. And yet the San Diego Chargers also got eight. Now it's kind of get apples oranges for the Dallas Cowboys got eleven that was -- in the NFL. Eleven cells come in yet they may not even be the best team in the NFC. They may not -- before also note that two weeks left prove themselves in Green Bay could sneak in as the number one seed. So anyway you -- your thoughts on that web radio at patriots dot comers like Regis. In the meantime let's struggled more about the Miami Dolphins job Darlington as we mentioned covered the dolphins for the Miami herald newspaper what is -- that they could play book. I Jeff Loria. It was -- good -- while we like that I had just rub it in went onto a little bit of Wimbledon the only thunderstorms. I don't blame him my in laws live close by so I understand that completely. That's why we get down there as much as we possibly can so tell this one game win streak and it's a sigh of relief or would this team perhaps have played with a little more edge. If there's even such a thing had -- not one."
[12:41]" Well I mean I don't think that saw him enough to limit on how much so we'll put them colleges going to help with him against the pitchers that struck. I think that the -- look at the way whenever they can get an open that this team has been picked yet in my -- I have to look. What going to get the win. You know obviously when. You've been with the war going in Kuwait blue for the dolphins. Mutual love are good they're going to win against the period member Peter patriots but nutshell that's so are adopting for quite a bit Marcelo doesn't really gotten that over and over the -- went through or thought sixteen and there's about as good as dispute -- can ask for."
[13:15]" Where do you think the win -- sure they have come if not this past weekend where shooter to come. There are ya got from your games this season I mean she did have gotten 2 and thirteen."
[13:30]" And now. A lot of chances to win and -- little sort of got no -- applicants. They kept all the -- the -- about being in the -- when they needed a lot of that -- game plan -- so -- team that I'm two -- of one of those wins over the ball and -- they couldn't they couldn't get out or you know you can -- him from the evening of Washington. I thought it was about one -- that the Oakland joke again and all the way that you really thought they were going to pull off you know no statistics which gained -- Lost fight through it three point relaxed so. A lot of close games but they just couldn't make it happen at the end about it one bit -- of Baltimore. The quote payment finally got to play at the end that that the trouble in -- may still go wide left remnants if you for a touchdown from. That's from good Cambodia so yeah finally there will make the Clinton and that's been the difference between yet between all of thirteen an awkward."
[14:26]" Jeff what do you think this team was not able to get over the hump in those close games can you put your finger on any one thing in particular."
[14:32]" Touched upon it -- determine what the -- commitment total lack of mental edge so why all that they just. You know the good of the talent goes for a dollar first well I'm not sure -- Historically -- point that the -- in NFL history even if if they were all in fourteen at this point both. You know they're just still don't know a lot of talent they got me into the dugout who kill their laughter well. I mean everybody I think there intergroup looked at potent bird that can't help starters they know between Trent green putted well. You have are both black comics and talk about some pretty big names on -- works -- All the -- by that and and really even with them healthy the talent around those guys supporting cast is really is not there."
[15:16]" You know my come together that'll what do you think by the way just before -- forget you mentioned obviously run browns up oh. What's Ricky williams' future going to be there."
[15:25]" Well you know -- in contention that that camp. Who absolutely love to do all of his rehabilitation down in south Florida in Miami instead of the bat although that all of commit to him right now they are willing to Gordon. Well look let's let's you know -- patrol agent that you know we're going to have a back all the stuff. But I don't one million dollar contract down here. And that's search of cheap contract and you're talking about yeah the minimum that's -- all. Solid for a guy seven year veteran so it's it's a million dollars for two solid so. You know if they can get doubtful that they go with which Larry King Live in great chicks as if they go to can be. Are not that the time are the distraction. Then they'll probably twelve to watch him on the roster and she would can -- because. Although bankrupt straight that if they're going to get from them form now on the chemical fortune in the real -- for third. -- nothing but the -- wife to bring him back what I'm trying to prove himself. Could this one I think we're gonna go forward its sixth or seventh round pick maybe you've been about him. What speculated in the fourth perfect --"
[16:28]" Sure -- let's take that -- to a different level will cam Cameron be back to coach him."
[16:35]" Actually think about the temple -- know what happens with my husband and whether or not your blog with team we understand that. The way to try to follow the team right now at least 49% of the right that's the -- Then you would be still the majority owner and even other full public coach comeback and I think absolutely it would I think that the story will move in particular have gone back. -- have a good relationship then. Another thread and saw that after the most recently -- can't seem. A certain emotion between the two of them him in the camaraderie between them I can't she's I think -- turnaround. After two more games and saying your ticket undergone far think he would be back as long as witnessed -- the majority owner."
[17:15]" What's the latest and I know was in the newspaper there today in Miami it but he surprised by the fact that he's willing to sell almost half the thing."
[17:22]" Well I think often. National missile shot clock political report this stored up on on the -- aspect of their but I think that. You know kind of but that movie when people start to understand his listening and the fact that there's going to be seven beautiful you're thinking about his estate. And they could certainly doesn't want to take over the team who is not like something that turn out thought. So you know I think -- he's thinking about it only its own financial interest is well you're talking about a billion dollar investments saw you know that's probably well a lot of the couple some good frustrations with what -- out achieved -- success. But I think it's a combination that you wouldn't look at all of that it makes little bit of sense."
[18:03]" You know certainly well Jeff Darlington -- the Miami herald with a here -- patriots playbook is via. -- will come into Foxboro this Sunday afternoon 4:15 eastern time kick off against the patriots fourteen and -- against one and thirteen the dolphins were off the ocean side. And yet they may or may not have to their best defensive players what's the latest now I understand Channing Crowder underwent surgery is that right."
[18:24]" Did you dog he's a hotel in Dublin and you know this was such a combat losses that you're walkway -- that your -- can end Jason Taylor status is. -- a different culture all on Monday and it looked like he becomes trouble that struck. And I'm not from that but also about into the open Joey -- what we're practicing and actually over limited that I would say that it would back but on convention interest -- the find out -- you know plane -- not one part of Oakland that the not going to be a good thinker for that."
[18:58]" Doesn't sound like you know what's the the rest of the health and and the spirit like this team I would think they have to be somewhat lifted it. But affected they were able to accomplish not Sunday."
[19:08]" I don't know buildup we actually you know. I can't decide whether they're withstood a little slow you a number that's that's going to be mentioned she won't get welcome to -- yeah Amish who don't show that can walk going to new England and take some of -- momentum with them. Harden elbow but that's -- dividend really that productive for. -- what happens what kind of sort of looking to go out. But -- are going into a hostile environments. -- to a cold environment and going to a -- the team is obviously. Also -- we both I defend that it's going to be tough you know what that's seven million with the can't have an edge to them. -- indifferent the -- terms."
[19:44]" I think the thing that's difficult for me to figure out and really put the finger on this team and on this particular matchup on -- is about is the fact that you know a is this the dolphins team that was trailing 42 to seven at halftime and the patriots during this year. Or is this the dolphins team that well lost you know I guess or almost beat. The Baltimore ravens and of course the patriots almost lost the Baltimore ravens so."
[20:07]" Which was a little adjustment boatloads and on the and it looked like -- function -- you know all. And can play -- pitcher political development can be done without the involvement in the picture I wait. I don't think it worked so well though and looked cute couple quote gamecube the you know if you want to look look at the ball and shoot the -- talking about the team had gotten any better in the second. People just totally dominated now locked in Anwar al is actually -- well we're talking about a guy who got dominated the -- starting out so they've -- problems depth -- so. Would you look at head to head matchups with the most important -- what I'm going to well you know also mentioned can put certain better than others and I don't think that this picture of the member number."
[21:00]" And yet traditionally the dolphins have always played the patriots tough. Dolphins -- the last team to beat the patriots in the regular season."
[21:08]" Good luck gonna do my part about things are going into this with the football on Culpepper went. That was probably for the a lot of appeal the dolphins last walked last year against the dolphins weather for the law wasn't so hard -- but it -- got a computer game of the offense one win -- up to put the finger the -- game at a -- of -- which -- that's what -- open -- they got to think about and that -- unfortunately for the -- the pretty good thing for the patriots to -- It's so matchup between the best we have a -- against the worst team and it felt so. I think when you. You break it down that would -- to -- that in fact the pitcher it's still called."
