[0:46]" everybody welcomed its latest patriots today I'm Christina asked rights Tuesday hammer continue to cover. The AFC playoffs now the patriots preparing for their first game. Against the jags this weekend where do you from several players in a press conference that they held earlier this morning and also we have an inside look and make -- the offensive line. For for -- start with some news and numbers on the matchup for the week. The patriots are tied for the second longest streak in NFL history when in nineteen. Taking it home playoff games having not lost at home and lay ups and the last time the patriots face the jaguars in the playoffs this phone 2005 season. The patriots won 28 to three to let me. It's that the NFL record for consecutive playoff victory when they're ten. Baker and the jaguars are actually hit those too high scoring teams in the second half of the regular season. In the last eight regular season game the patriots scored 258 point did you admire 256. Jacksonville Atlanta sports and the patriots on an undefeated record against it for a the fifth time the jags are headed to fox. One last note Tom Brady was voted eight he offensive player of the year by a panel of media members. Of the four players who received votes -- patriots. -- agreed not to came in second and Wes Welker -- that there. Coming up we've got to look at the men behind Tom Brady's numbers who actually line up right in front of Dickie V every game. -- right back after that's."

[2:46]" The full -- Toyota tundra. Truck that's changing at all. Yeah."

[2:55]" I'm back to patriots today -- factor in the patriots record breaking offense this season and -- is their solid offensive line. Brian -- a closer look at the players that make up a cool are the patriots to continue to score."

[3:10]" It's a seemingly endless list he and team record set by the 2007 patriots largely by the offense. Both points scored a season. -- touchdowns thrown by a quarterback both touchdowns caught by a wide receiver but with the glamour of the regular season was highlighted by Tom Brady. You -- Saturday and -- offensive player here on Tuesday but it all starts with the offensive line."

[3:34]" And I think we've just take of ourselves and took them from each league game. And do little things as far as in the offseason no emotion goes around but -- whole lot of you know sleep so --"

[3:46]" The offensive line play in turn has been a big part of the offensive success left tackle Matt light in his -- have kept -- to the tune of a franchise record low sack total. And it helps ensure that their quarterback doesn't have to forecast is good pressure among the league staggering stat in 2007 is a career won't be interception."

[4:05]" That's a -- we'll go to -- video driver and -- fix our responsibility because off from the and -- throw the ball and -- of everybody's involved in the series got to get over my backs gonna block we got to block -- at Tom's going to finally got so one. Were being successful because everybody is before."

[4:24]" Tommy does a good job of his move the ball on our receivers get open so stud a says give them the time. Sometimes we don't want anyone until -- the both."

[4:35]" If you come as no surprise that the pats offensive line has -- so well to put it simply they know each other. Consider the fact that the pats -- starting line and at least -- fully healthy all have a minimum of three seasons in the organization led by light who was drafted in 2001. Dan Kolb wouldn't even he'll have been on board at Gillette stadium opened. Taking a step further the teams remarkable reserves are all that he's their second season meaning even they had at least a full season and offseason behind them heading into 2007."

[5:03]" Knowing the guy around. Especially guys -- a lot to do one -- just breezed -- comfortable with the military and do they know what you're going to do -- we have -- time -- and trust along the line -- AltaVista."

[5:19]" Ought to get hopes alive you know when you completed the same group of guys for a long period time you -- known another's tendencies. And sometimes you maybe think Q seeping through the same set -- And that's what we're trying to. The continuity included the coach Dante Scarnecchia has been charged leading the patriots -- 1999 and he's credited by the players for keeping everyone accountable. -- we ought to be prepared to play positions. And now he mixture then we're. We're able to do yeah Francis and he gets ready during the week in case something were so -- I know I've benefited promised. And a lot of other Q."

[5:56]" Some you know we out brought them practices more we're together we're going to meetings together watching film together and -- religious have seeded beat faster once it guys. Yeah our coach really has this you know doing really well -- big part of."

[6:11]" The pats new offensive firepower and -- extraordinary season. Have coincided with a special campaign for the offensive line."

[6:20]" In this year's kind of been you know it's always been -- us understand each other and then really given though. Almost a -- next to us is doing and then but he certainly was fortunate to stay healthy this thing together and that's the -- big part of dolphins buffalo."

[6:36]" For the good -- for the offensive line in 2007 as they really have gotten some recognition this year three players Matt light Logan Mankins. And -- open all going to the pro bowl -- be able to join some of their offensive teammates to actually have all those stats the staggering accolades to back it up. A couple of them actually have been in here talked about how they're a tight knit group off the field as well some of the -- There there well known to be classified as actually Matt light a couple weeks ago when they were when a pro bowl voting was announced it was asking Matt light -- You have severe your your fellow class clown to join you in Hawaii news diagonal where they're going to go to eat and they -- surf. And all that actually just today in the locker room they had these new T shirts the bearded brothers now they all have their post season facial -- going so. Other always up to something that's yeah that's not going to see that big year for teacher in the locker yeah. -- I'd sixty minutemen. -- the -- brothers. Now that's that's -- like that -- at practice today any updates anybody in now you know the gorgeous new January early January Foxborough a day 65 degrees I went out -- just like this you relentlessly for a second. About that but just about every player was out there except for Kyle Michael and good news -- with the -- line catcher Stephen -- a couple of guys who have missed some recent games because of injury they were out there will see what kind of -- those -- Saturday's game. Okay sense that he got more coming up with -- later on we sure do talk about the different networks."

[7:55]" And today a couple of patriots -- at the podium here they are in your patriots today --"

[8:03]" Them in June it was. You know kind of have a little joke that that's going on I always don't know -- given talents you know with the community always -- you know. The difference you have six."

[8:16]" As long is this as Fred's been in the league you think you'd. You think you'd lose a step a little -- especially as a running back with other. Father pounding catch take that as you watch him on film he has that still has that great breakaway speed and he's playing the best -- he he has in his career."

[8:31]" We'll find out on Sutter and literally some prove more -- and I don't know there. They're pretty good and and that was -- you know tough came down there against them last."

[8:42]" They do sort of reminds reminds me of us because of the way they approach the game probably how they want to just sort of you know he's -- more physical team and I think we pride ourselves."

[8:52]" You can come here he hits it -- not just fine I mean this is something that you were always long for this is. It's one of the reasons that you couldn't stand to be in situations like this great opportunities. We put ourselves in -- and in great position. You know yeah finish oh yeah they're different."

[9:13]" This is the playoffs and you know you don't win the season's over so your preparation in the Korean and ticket home with you do whatever you Q this is only focus on a single minute of the day that's -- my motivation right now we're playing it's I have no problem when championships and somebody would say -- yeah. That you're given all of us. I'm 34 years old man and so -- after the NFL you know there in. I'm real assaults on and I'm not 24 anymore but I know that's one thing about -- always on this football."

[9:48]" Players will be at the podium all week long and will be in your patriots press -- as well as in the locker room which is gone right now here's your locker room and."

[10:00]" And he made it bring a large go to work every day home. They played hard football I'd tell you respect that looks like we've been in that situation forward had guys like that. You just got their plays regardless of the tight pay attention and media. I didn't hear you just go out and play hard."

[10:25]" Strong and the defense but our -- we've. Because -- symptoms that was -- The offense -- field --"

[10:39]" Physical. Both of the the purple would that occurred for a lot of phone. One common disorder number I don't think anybody have an enemy right now this you know he's is that it is really -- you keep checking -- those in. You see about so deformed break type of move files so you just renowned for religious game -- and I'll wind out of -- we have before."

[11:03]" He matches because we're pretty good friends we just because of the season and I was kind of cruising through the years to -- when you have a chance on it's the ability was obviously there and he showed me flashes and he goes manageable situation and didn't come off the bench and as a reason because you get the reps with the first team and they not a speed and a whole week -- and now I'm finally handed the reins -- a great job."

[11:29]" I think all you have to look at is important to what their season on the line. Get a lot of options to get the ball to donate it shows keeping his hands and run quarterback draw so I think that says a lot about their confidence they had."

[11:43]" Coming up lawyer Paul Perillo is the latest odds on the patriots including the MVP QB we'll be right back after."

[12:06]" The full size Toyota tundra truck -- changing at all."

[12:16]" back to patriots today proper loads of Brian Lowe now discussing the playoffs for the patriots and MVP title for Tom very."

[12:29]" Christina thank you Paul we heard over the weekend bill belichick's say that you know the team and the coaching staff prepare quite -- Jacksonville over the last week Rodney Harrison for one as far as players in the locker room. Said he wasn't surprised by how everything played out. Forget about that we need your perspective to the weekend play out the way you expect."

[12:45]" Yet you know really it's and I thought San Diego would find a way to get enough offense and in the other game you know we talked about a little bit last week -- thought it was a coin flip game and ultimately kinda came down that way I didn't really expect Jackson had a big lead. And that Pittsburgh come back the way they did but yeah I could we knew it was going to be one of those two teams and only made sense that the patriots would focus more on the jags because and really seen this year haven't seen since last in -- The jaguars have been one of the hottest teams in the league obviously -- the patriots who had lost yet and winning a lot down the stretch winning a road playoff game today coming in with a lot of momentum or is it more that they just played a road game a sixty minute ride out -- game. And there are going to be deep coming in this week you know I think it's it's -- you look look at both ways I think a couple years I don't know five when they came and I thought they had that kind of -- just happy to be here we made the playoffs kind of feeling. And you know. Shortly they would they were sent home not surprisingly. This time around I think they have some guys now that they took that experience from all five to some guys that are still here. And am now they have this win in what you get a win under your belt I think -- usual little confidence in the playoffs so I think in the mentally they'll be in better shape to come to Foxboro this time around. And well last time however I think you're right Brian. It was a physical game they would obviously -- you know sets a limit them for 64 minutes that's not good Pittsburgh is going to make you work -- at Jacksonville obviously that that's the way they want to play anyway. They want to grind it out of market out and and it looked -- went down the wire that can't be good I think physically at that game took a -- As far as Jacksonville offense what about it. The patriots -- have to prepare for whether it's the one to running back you know. What do you regard as being able do as far as limiting stakes what is it about their office could watch well I mean the obvious is right -- you have to stop their run because that's what they want to do they want to play the game at a slower pace they they want to grind it out they want to control clocked an average of 33 minute 3233 minutes of time of possession. That's their style that's what they want to do personally I don't really worry about Africa's I think the patriots have had a great success over the years. Taking away that one thing the other team does really well. So what -- in. They can keeping that in mind I wanted to kind of switched make sure you don't allow any big place. On offense you don't want to let them have a big habit not at a passing game that really relies on getting the ball down the field so make sure they don't do it racial Reggie Williams doesn't come up with a fifty yard touchdown catch some points."

[15:12]" And the other big news over the weekend Paul if we want to call it news Tom Brady wins the MVP. Forty you know why would you just vote for a Mike McNamee I thought I you can vote I think it was -- that didn't I just don't understand why couldn't just vote for the I don't do -- touched outlets doesn't -- it was and I would agree. What does it take for guys sixteen at all and set the record touchdown pass what does that mean unanimous and the guy I mean in all seriousness to -- it would it really wasn't much of of the debate but he's voters continue to use that -- criteria and I think that's. Well it won't be a problem for Tom Brady yes he said earlier in the week not too concerned about how many votes he got winning MVP. He's focused now on the jaguars as the entire team is as you will be your five points later in the week. We look forward to that for now go back to think."

[15:56]" They keep following that the more patriots today right after the us."

[16:16]" The full size included tundra. The truck that's changing at all."

[16:24]" On Thursday in light of the aren't aren't patriots have had in the past few days. We're giving you a little more tomorrow. But we had that long snapper laid back cat and the warm climate of the west coast during the ops. Plus plus the latest on the practice field and the players in the locker room that different Tuesday will be back with -- more tomorrow in please patriots"
