[0:33]" Yeah community you learn."
[0:40]" Patrick playbook for Thursday right here on patriots dot com radio job of what you and it. What has turned out -- yet again another wet Thursday in the northeast this morning it was it was. It was blizzard like conditions in Boston in your around here that you know we're talking about although little less so south. In southern New England we still look at what the forecast called for Sunday's game of the Miami Dolphins and it appears to be -- awful forties. And -- Rain this time not necessarily snow. In the forecast for Sunday so if you have tickets of your coming to the game just make sure not yes you'd still should be dressed warmly this time -- mean for goodness -- people get real. But you know. Prepare for what stuff. I don't know how that affects the game. Just yet. Based on what we saw this last week -- say I think. Couldn and wet is worse then warmer and wet now -- on the -- is really good for anybody but now let's just wait and see how it goes. You know another of the POW guys when they do their picks and Thursday's. You know they've all had a tendency to go we -- with the dolphins or mean go with the patriots to cover over the dolphins with a win especially. But based on whether you know one. I am right now and it's tough for me it's tough for me to take the patriots and and in 22. It's tough for me do I don't know that keep in mind nobody they won the first game by 21 at Miami. Game they would 42 to seven happen to win 4920. So I you don't know that I can give them -- like and give the patriots the 22 in the I think based on what we saw last week in what we -- to -- of the previous three weeks prior to that my tendency is to say that the dolphins cover that 22. But that's just me being an -- I'd like to know how you feel because since this is Thursday this is prediction day so fire off the scores web radio at patriots dot com. Send men let me know what you think the score will be. Predict the game if you have some reasons causes what happy let's see which I mention the guys -- want to go exports. Use the Madden NFL only game and they created a matchup between 72 dolphins in the 7 patriots the two teams that look liable who won obviously started there the other one is trying to get their to beat the an appeals to loan on beans in the regular season at least the stage of the game and I really that it was kind of -- I mean you think you know initially -- the as the patriots crush them which with the guys just. But it wasn't really the case I'm not going to go play by play this for it would just singers and theaters -- points that I noticed from the result in the result was patriots 31. Dolphins 27. -- frankly yes that was a little closer and I thought it would be I thought maybe. When I saw the story on the on the you know on the Sam I thought probably about 37. What needs -- 171 somewhere in that's what I. But it was close but it would be in and here's what they did become a level playing field considered the you know 35 years between two teams. I'm bad if you -- Miami starting offensive line which averaged at that time back in 1972 offensive line averaged about 250 pound remand. Well that's the size. The linebacker today pretty much but that was about the normal size for an offensive lineman 35 years ago to promote. So what they did is they added a -- brown -- I think they brought it up to around 280 ish somewhere in that vicinity then the rules -- the game reflected today's rules. In the example that I gave was one of the ones that EA sports game and Sam defensive backs obviously back in 72 days here could -- receiver down the field until the pass was thrown what happens in the air. Then according to the rules of the day it's that attitude then the defense -- could not touched the receiver. Today of course touch receiver after five yards and -- he could very -- flight. So at any -- They reflected today's rules rather than nineteenth that would do. That put I think the 72 dolphins little bit morbid disadvantage I would say if you actually did this in the real world scenario but somewhat surprised with the dolphins onion. Back the dolphins had a 107 lead at the end of the first quarter. On at halftime the score was 1717. Patriots back tied it according the simulation here on Stephen Gostkowski 37 yard field with 43 ego. Before -- let's see the dolphins scored their touchdowns KQ did on one yard -- soccer run. A 36 yard field goal from -- you -- in 63 yard run from Mercury more race. Old ma -- Please nobody tell the real -- that he scored in the simulated run against the patriots would never hear the end of it and then in the third quarter. That's when the patriots fell into a little bit of trouble it took a point or seventeen lead on a Laurence Maroney three yard run. Then with 240 to play in the third quarter -- you Permian knocked Ohman toward united -- point fourth want to. And then just before the fourth quarter. Paul Warfield and a six yard touchdown pass from Bob Griese and the dolphins lead at 27 to 24 headed into the fourth quarter. In that fourth quarter there was only one school. They came with 542 point Tom Brady two yard touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney 3127 patriots and that was the finals courts and statistically speaking be big heroes were Brady and Randy Moss Brady threw for 314 yards but he did throw two touchdown passes to -- in the first. First score of the game was three yarder and the second score of the game early in the second quarter was a nine yard so that was -- 3127 patriots. The exports simulated game between 72 dolphins and the 2007 patriots. You think about though that the examples web radio at patriots dot com you have some thoughts on that one way -- the other the kind of broke down some of the individual matchups as well Randy Moss for instance against the Miami cornerbacks they temple in. Curtis Johnson they had Paul Warfield of course the outstanding Hall of Fame receiver for the dolphins against Asante Samuel which frankly I find the most intriguing matchup. On both sides and the one that I thought you know given the day and the agent. Which these you know errors you know and these players actually existed to me that's the most intriguing match up a ball on the field. He's actually I think Paul Warfield was talented enough where he'd give Asante -- some problems. Based on the physical -- if you actually put it in Rio -- present day terms. Warfield was -- you know he was one of the best route runners ever to play the game. He was smooth slick. He wasn't just down right speedy fast but he was just he was very Jerry rice like well before rice's time that makes any sense to you'll. All war it was a great. Receiver now obviously Samuel you know is athletically more inclined to be able to stay with a guy like work field even for his time warp -- I think was at his age. In ahead of his day. Warfield been. Could be Warfield now. And still play well. And probably be an all pro receiver might in fact. My guess would be that of of all those 72 dolphins the ones that really stand out as is being I think potentially took their talents then. And then kept them alive to the point where they could actually play today in present day circumstances Warfield. Maybe greasy may be in I would say -- Larry's -- probably the best chance of playing today based on the bounce back. They had that Mercury mores and a match up with though Rodney Harrison which was adamant -- they had Tom Brady against him Miami's -- got a Dick Anderson will be. You know probably agreements preeminent safeties in the entire NFL by conservative and they both just happen -- itself or. So that was pretty cool to some of the numbers here's the number for you -- stat geeks like me the statistics in this simulated game Brady was twenty to 31314 yards three touchdowns rushing Laurence Maroney nineteen carries 81 yards and a -- Randy Moss had seven catches one point 12 touchdowns Donte' Stallworth and five for eighty would -- the dolphins superlative Griese was twelve of 17163 touchdown -- moral actually came in and played. It was April 11 for a hundred yards that probably sickly because they split time that your anyway with with injuries. And so again you read the simulation in there looking at the season numbers in tried to from you know sort pro rate that -- game libel but that's how moral his snaps in the game. I doubt very seriously they would go with a two quarterback system against patriot -- moral but -- Mercury more with eighteen carries a hundred point two yards and a touchdown against the 7 patriot defense. Somehow inexplicably -- only had nine carries and 33 yards for a touchdown. To me I would that would be exactly up with a sock -- pounded away. In theory that the patriots middle pound pound pound try to keep the ball again out of you know Brady's and in the patriots all -- his hands right and who bettered that that would Larry's -- for goodness six. One of the best between the tackle -- runners that maybe have ever existed in the NFL certainly in that era he was the best. And he only had nine carries for 33 yards and went in based on the breakdown of the scoring has it occurred I mean the dolphins were never out of the game. So disease are beginning less carries in the dolphins ready to throw the football to come from behind but -- I was little surprising receiving Paul Warfield six catches 69 yards and touchdown Howard Twilley remember him for catches 88 yards. Led them in yardage. So anyway I thought that was really interesting things to come out of -- him again it was them what you exports and I think in conjunction with a champion and they used Madden NFL 8 to drive the simulation and the patriots won 31 points in and really that is closest we'll ever get really comparing the two teams. If of course -- do end up sixteen you know and you have the two teams that were perfect during the regular season. Page to court try against the 2007 version of the dolphins become the first team to ever. Ever in the 88 year history of the NFL to ever start a season fifteen and but does the that a new York new there. Com but that's what kind of covered up on Sunday a couple of other things that I wanted to bring up that I've come to light from yesterday's show and we made you know -- rather impassioned plea passionately passionately for Wes Welker inclusion in the pro bowl. And even if that falls on their fears ultimately and he does not. Get in knew it was determined late yesterday that the Kimberly-Clark corporation Shaw's supermarkets. Well awarded the 2007 patriots twelfth player award who Wes Welker the award is presented annually to the patriots player who personifies patriots team spirit. Performs beyond expectations and is recognized for his contributions to the organization. On the field and in the community. So that was pretty cool last year the twelve where what was Laurence Maroney. Willie McGinest won it in 5 Troy brown you know four here is -- Dan Klecko want -- all three. Adam Vinatieri won in 2002 Brady won in 2001 Tedy Bruschi went in 2000 back. In this decades the winners the twelfth player award but it went to Wes Welker. So that was so very fitting and Adam. Deserving as will just to give some notoriety and a few props to a guy who certainly deserve it needs to be recognized for his performances in. And he might -- ultimately still be recognized some performances. A before all listened Nazis the other big issue. And this is sort of off the field. Heading into the game outside of -- now we have a who we have a little different X factor involved do we not. Coming into the game on Sunday after all the Miami Dolphins now are. Bill Parcells team and -- yesterday about this time we're talking about how looked like the Atlanta Falcons went -- well landing the tuna. And have him as their Vice President of vote football operations and as it turns out. He was used in the falcons' perhaps all along to get what he needed from the Miami Dolphins now yes keep in mind. That bill has not won notably two homes in Florida so if he can return to the NFL he's going to want to do it somewhat close to home and that's why I think this makes a lot of sense but please do not underestimate. And I think many of you being patriots fans since well before the Bill Parcells era here in the 1990s I think you understand. That it takes a rather unique ego to drive an individual like coach Parcells yes he's very successful he will undoubtedly be hall of Famer. He just can't stay away from the game no matter -- you know. Much drives and he's been awakened one year 67 year old 67 years older you wonder how much drive he has I think taken this job shows you how much drive demands that he might not have. The wherewithal to deal with day to -- problems of coaching and by that I mean dealing with. Players in their personalities that is that he's very much old school. And he just either a couldn't or beat didn't want to adjust to go with -- that players do things nowadays as opposed to. -- ten to twenty years ago when he was in his prime coaching. Understood okay -- To an extent right by. -- still has the drive and soul now even though he really hasn't proven it. On a player personnel level per say now is getting a chance basically to buy the groceries in Miami. And make no mistake about it. When you add in the fact that you know a he's close to his homes and B he has a chance to hook up. Twice a year. With two of the organizations which he's basically brought back from the dead all let me tell you ego is a wonderful wonderful thing. But sometimes you really need to learn to be careful what you wish -- just might get it. And I think that's exactly instance in this case. I'm sure he relishes the chance to go well you know and and in in and try to pound on the jets and certainly match wits again. When -- watch his former protege don't think I mean really come off. You must have you have to have a decided. Driving class a type a personality slash ego in order to be successful. He has it. And if you think it you know I get a chance to you know take a little maybe of the luster off vote you know king bill. I'm going to do -- to show on that I still Kenyon. All that very much -- to -- equation absolutely 110% could not be more unequivocal statement. Ego drives the -- in this case straight at him. So now he's got a chance he's got what he's wished for. He -- you know. Toil and go back to work close to home he is -- team in his image. Which basically he did with the Dallas Cowboys even though you know he didn't get a chance to coach his team frankly I think this is one of the few good things that Jerry Jones reliever don't cowboys he knew win. To change captains on the cowboy -- Parcells drafted in in and brought in players because that was didn't have much when he first got there admittedly. And he pushed and cajole to nurtured and brought along. In the it was time for a guy like wade Phillips who is less demanding to come in and smoothed everything over and but that was you know. You know got a chance to perhaps be there in the Super Bowl against the patriots perhaps in -- coming up in that -- so if that's his team that's just. In only took the patriots to super doubles he took the jets to be an AFC championship game you know the cowboys this year are still his byproduct obviously he won two Super -- with the giants. So now you have Bill Parcells back in the division so when you watch the Miami Dolphins this week. And you say all of my you know how bad could this team get you know we're going to pound on this team for a couple more years at least before they get back some semblance of -- of normalcy. -- be careful. I don't know that he can change overnight -- its highly unlikely. But now you're dealing with Bill Parcells Miami Dolphins. Starting this Sunday this is when the evaluation period -- he's got two weeks left of the regular season to see what he likes on this team. And decide you know -- whatever he can discard you most likely will. By the way anybody think the the first thing I thought when I heard late last night. That he would put the Enron on Atlanta and decided to hook up with the Miami Dolphins as their VP of football ops. First thing I thought I was. You don't want border -- so lucky we -- so incredibly lucky in New England. Why is that -- you know there's no way in hell there is no way. That was walker comes becomes patriot who Parcells is no absolutely no shot. How -- we now that this happened and Randy Mueller which. No -- Parcells deals Welker number one and he certainly doesn't deal him within the division no matter. How many or what kind of quality draft picks you get in return not happening. That's the thing that probably immediately make the dolphins better he won't make stupid moves like that. Agree or disagree web radio at patriots dot com that's our email address. We need to fuels eagles coming -- the program of course the top of the next hour Russell Baxter are in a Phil Richards courted -- you'll join -- as he normally does. On a Thursday's will have locker room conversation is will the patriots and will have a conference call from Miami Dolphins cam Cameron. Their head coach and Cleo Lemon they're starting quarterback. How nervous is cam Cameron right now. Any thoughts one way -- the other do you think maybe that he's going to end up being bill Parcells guy after all said and done. I can't imagine. I really can't imagine Bill Parcells not wanting to bring in his own guy to coach. If I'm if I'm cam Cameron I think I'm probably somewhat nervous about it. A couple of emails in here in the what's your coach Cameron this and come from the -- Who says Bill Belichick -- is the best head coach unifil by four however when you violate rules of fair play horrified to the nth degree you're demoted from considerations he's talking about the coach of the year conversation that we were talking about yesterday. Since my first choice might McCarty is he only had four pro bowlers few curious omission there like Jennings protect 142 record. An agent far been no big name running back he is my second choice -- Tony Dungy. Although we as the best QB in of the current D linemen have started. And last year's Super Bowl coaching a rookie wide receiver Gonzales no -- most the season and many other injuries and departures. Projected fourteen to two record and shot the pats a much better surface than in the past. Honorable mention Jon gruden and example Romeo Cornell in Cleveland. Xiamen hard to believe that this year for this -- sixteen you know maybe even nineteen and over Canada voting will not be enough. But those who disagree you probably the -- about dogs. -- well I don't know that I go that four but the I understand your point. -- squeeze one -- your time being and he says Brady is done it on but zoning in on moss. Brady has done it is worked so far I don't think it will be a big problem Brady brought it up in an interview and admitted to it so what do you think he's going to do now. Desperate had a big game for Welker this week as -- actually -- game for everyone this week my view -- well who cares passing game rates. Fair enough web radio at patriots dot com need your score predictions for Sunday with a patriots cover the 22. Well they obliterate the dolphins will they put them back on the heels will they send them acting are the ball -- a packet in themselves after getting there. One and so -- only win of the season or. Do they answer the bell like the Baltimore ravens and maybe somewhat similar to what the Philadelphia Eagles did. Did they treat this is there one shot at fame if not fortune for 2007 by putting into the one gargantuan effort against the patriots this Sunday. They are the last team to beat New England in the regular season possibly -- 21 nothing a year ago. If the patriots win this someday they'll tie -- record of eighteen consecutive regular season wins. In the dolphins do. Cam Cameron had coached that often sees -- thinks he can here's his conference call members of the patriots media."
[22:42]" Quite right that you."
[22:47]" Well thank you don't know you can enjoy the civil completely -- little Walter I was -- great challenge this week and we've moved up but I kept."
[23:00]" think about it there's all of Europe. All of that -- last always. Knocking on the door and wonder where -- what what was the gradient schedule that -- ingredients last week."
[23:19]" Well that's -- basically for most things -- the national football most dangerous most games are close close games as we do the best we've we've we've blocked kick week would greatly greatly players pay the difference in the game and that's what comes down to."
[23:39]" Yeah yeah. Progress has got him last weekend I progress in -- team but individually some players like. And I point to play you always."
[23:55]" I think there's there's no question that this the progress that we see in terms of our preparations from my point is the tibia and I would continue to prepare where we've practiced that's that's been important than -- it and -- either of those sort of equity. When we see them entertained you know you've got a chance to each week and -- you see individually different you know performances each week and they're young guys are continue to play hard and to improve every young player like Jason Taylor goes a very good team so actually block -- kick he starter caught a touchdown sure we've even our better players are hurt or -- heart 21 and -- don't players her little the only difference so they just play hard and they're excited to be out there."
