Play from 0:32[0:32]" later patriots football weekly and glory -- and ski. Welcome back again the Gillette stadium for another patriots dot com roster report podcast. Again no lord for -- apparently she gets the entire holiday season off -- she's got a pretty good gig. Working here but the PFW boys are here it's Friday. December 28 and it's a travel day. As we will be boarding the bus and the plane to get down in New York for the Saturday night season finale at New York Giants that is everyone now knows will be broadcast in virtually every TV channel. As bill bill tricks that is sort of the like the state of the union news click through and pick on the on the east and just picked and that's that's interesting and signal -- be -- to you know others grass -- fake grass on the field but. There's some green stuff they play on but we have some moves to get to win. Their minor mother taught -- issues as we've dealt with a over the last couple weeks first of all. Dating back to last week when we had the open roster report we speculated maybe they would bring somebody up from the practice squad during game check in the act I was watching. Raven -- on earning your game checked against the Miami Dolphins so he's now actually still on the roster from retaining that roster report. And feel good about himself these token around the VFW guys in the locker room as -- media stand down to get Tom Brady said when they -- now hundreds of bills down there. And if that was case and sure he'd be running down to get his hundred because dishonesty as a make atomic point it's probably pretty -- about and I cup. Back to back in Texas is nice for him is -- have a roster spot opened so if they wanted to get rid of him quite good for probably from these days to talk about the latest field -- Rate central intelligence they'll say you know you when the timeout team notes from Tom -- right on down to even troll could you gotta start at the open and at the bottom so maybe that gets mentioned. One guy won't get mentioned. Is that brown who are the rock song brown and that was made on a Boston radio station yesterday -- Troy brown was released that is not -- Brown's release exaggerated as though it says he's coming off his first game time. But I Chad brown as of right now is no longer with the New England Patriots obviously the veteran linebackers been here for -- files an injury fill in -- Roosevelt Colvin went down hasn't really played all talk about the -- An awful lot to -- yet -- guided -- and I think for insurance. And I think if they feel probably at the the way they monitored naps or say Allen Bruschi. Has worked since Colvin went out and I don't really feel they need. It probably don't feel the need to keep around isn't really to a lot of special teams stuff. Appeal would and Eric -- candidate can handle this special teams up in the back up roles. I think is much meat form and as Bill Parcells -- I noticed respected Chad brown but if they need him for insurance he'll still be around it and it we have an option to bring about. And he knows the system you'll slide right in if they get an emergency situation there but you know -- issue we talked about Colvin went down. With the fact that you know longer had the rotation promise on the outside too old veterans on the inside they made it through. So far looks like they're going to finish the season healthy they'll get a little weak there to -- recover. On and that it's worked out as well as you can hope I guessed that one of the things I've been."

Play from 3:45[3:45]" Kind of surprised about and they're now Bruschi snaps haven't really increased all that much which I think is testament to Belichick and dean -- And their ability to continue to monitor that I think we all had a fear that. Those guys would have to play on an every down basis but that really hasn't been the case we've been able to continue to use -- packages. And kind of rotate them a little bit and not out particular I think it's been a marvel the way he. I mean he's the he's obvious can play all sixteen games for the first time a long time I think and so 31 it was no one I think so so. It's been awhile and been able to do that. And he did really questionable don't exactly know I'm going down he's."

Play from 4:28[4:28]" Not just out there I mean. I wouldn't say he's a dramatic playmaker on the defense but he's got a couple sixties got a couple sacks he's got a bunch of tackles he's been around the football. Every much as it is you know say a Tedy Bruschi and the other guys so. You know we you we could see an injury but as of right now it's worked. A -- You destructive and -- cowboys game out on exactly how I'm participating because -- I don't know what to say there really isn't much to say and Chad brown. Doing anything -- was another team and there. That's in the playoffs -- yet it tomorrow. That was for the patriots -- you know if the patriots added injury. The guys that we know of them go to an animal that's people work well if the jets were in the playoffs they -- that I and I would do it anyway. I just have to do it that way it they get an injury in the playoff that's true because if the jets picked him up. He would be under contract with the jets he would not be free agent anymore even though they're seasoned wood and so he would not be available so maybe she can on the horn Eric mean -- they want to tweak -- little bit signed Chad brown. It -- insurance policy one last thing -- people Owens just cited Chad brown just so obvious that they get older. I -- the injury report real quick before we are wrap up this -- report podcast and as I said get on the bus speed and you. Did not practice on Thursday Albert city Kyle tackle nick Hatcher they measure of expediency want to injury sort of came out of nowhere here all talk. Talk about don't knowing what the injury obvious because knowing how I think that in Ellicott if you it's up but I give -- an easy 1% that. But I think that's significant ones if he is banged up because you know while we might joke around a that he might be. We're starter yet the week starter of the -- awake and up front line he's obviously better than the back up and as we talked about before we started this Andy. Ryan O'Callaghan is the top back. He's also been one of your extra tight -- with Benjamin Watson and Kyle Brady banged up and out of the lineup so. You wonder where who's gonna follow these rules now if for whatever reason Kyle Brady is not he's on the injury report if he can't go. Someone's got to -- got to -- tight end Wesley -- to handle that -- went -- just like -- stay on the injury -- limited in practice -- taken some -- guard as an emergency back up there because with -- starting -- on the injury report -- you don't have a lot of flexibility their -- so that's -- my -- rosters -- filled -- an offensive lineman Dan -- off the practice -- at -- it could -- has really grown -- in the last couple -- figured -- the -- with a -- sitting in front -- locker Wednesday -- figured -- closing out. They limited participation guys Willie -- elbow so Tom Brady right shoulder GI hope we can go. Rodney Harrison thigh Benjamin Watson ankle Stephen -- shoulder and as I said Billy Yates with a foot on you know as it seems like a lot of names on the -- I don't think any of them are of the major variety you know the tight ends I think will be healthy -- post season whether healthy this week or not those guys will be back. Angles of these are so are we are here injuries than. You know. I wouldn't buy too much into them in terms of divisional weekend and who's going to be available that's going to. Another exciting patriots dot com roster or Chad brown is. -- control of being thrown to his 52 on the depth chart here for New England and the patriots into the season finale in new your. Looking to go sixteen and create history and everyone in the -- and will be able to watch it because it's on just about every network except box. Because apparently the NFL doesn't like walks. From your lifetime is just picked it up really -- when they're common in the networks is going to be on. But from Gillette stadium Perillo Tom the Sally Andy Hart signing often say. You in the post season."
