[0:16]" It is upon -- patriots dot com. For information on this or any other patriots podcasters patriots dot com. Yeah leaders of patriots football weekly and -- for rent --"

[0:37]" Welcome senate he gets blasted my hi cat an official -- of the New England Patriots. I'm -- as -- and it's Friday January 11 right yet let him a very rainy day Indy high and -- well dominated then he all the details on the practice. And we're going to bring a little sunshine."

[0:53]" Profit reports. Although we don't have a lot of information to bring the sunshine about all we got because the patriots didn't make any moves quiet bye week heading into their first divisional playoff game the one minor move they made it's actually for next year 2008 futures contract it is a big move yes guard last tackle Jimmy Martin most recently with the Minnesota Vikings released signed to a future's contract they'll be. Another 81012 of those in the coming weeks will read about so really very minor other minor -- Stephen Neal as the patriots representative for the Ed block courage award. Honestly those are given now a couple weeks at some point is at dinner and not really an NFL thing it's sort of separate charitable foundation and obviously the all pro team was announced this weekend for rarity a team record a lot of patriots on the all -- certainly nothing and second teams with the -- Thompson and Randy Moss were the only unanimous choice -- although. Brady was sort of unanimous that he got 49 and a half vote now one writer frank -- once again chose to do something a little outside the box and what his vote. The other members of the team Matt light left tackle cornerback Asante Samuel Mike re able at linebackers so they had a well represented there was moss and Brady in those guys. Second team Wes Welker got the nod coping in -- can get the -- you know the other two probable linemen and Vince Wilfork got the -- or nine guys. Represented from the patriots on the first and second team all pro ball talk about but a lot."

[2:24]" And I think that certainly be fitting of you know what -- you know I think that's you know we talk and all pro. They're this that that's a little bit special as compared to a lot of these other -- he's an award the pro bowls and things like that there's only one quarterback. You know there's only do you know unless you Franco you know there's only one guard right into ought to an attitude two guards one senator. And who tackle on -- not AFC NFC is the best in the league is in and it's strictly by the photo of the fifty. -- the fifteen members of that ATP board and the I think to have nine patriots on that certainly a beast lives just how good in how talented team in."

[3:01]" Certainly a guy like Matt light. This is the best you can give it your receiver right you -- an MVP award that's the best you can get offensive player of the year I toward. Well for Matt light at left tackle this is the highest honor you can get. For the hall -- I mean that's that's all the -- as the top notch -- left tackles. And I think that's pretty impressive and you know we look at it locally we see like a lot. And sometimes don't necessarily think of him in the mold of a of a dog dinner and Orlando pace or Walter Jones but. Matt light is now reached that level where is a two time pro bowler in an all pro left."

[3:33]" Yeah that's you know it's in him that you do put it right if you would talk you know at times we don't know early look at life. Like that on you we don't think -- Ogden or pace or Walter Jones but. You know for whatever I can sit there are on there was an injury here pace and Ogden specifically but he's right up there with those guys now you know Walter Jones Matt light you know I think that's a great accomplishment for him but. I look even on the outside of the ball the annual and Mike were able. I think over -- rewarded for -- terrific seasons and and I think at times you know. And we are in the complain about it a lot here in New England sometimes the patriots have kind of looked under the radar but I think that. People recognized just how many big plays those two guys are involved with him. And I think those have been the best you know it I think you probably people will force in -- not maybe with a plate making because of the position but. Those three guys have been the most in -- players on the patriots the -- this year and I'm really happy for -- label being guy's been around as long as he has first pro bowl now is named all pro and Samuel Lotta people doubted them last year -- not no one on the -- On the three about certainly. You know scoffed at the notion was a one year wonder last year."

[4:42]" It in the proved everybody wrong and it's nice that the you know the winning it -- always points to rising tide lifts all -- it's not just -- guys like opening -- like getting all the awards Brady picked up another award this week with the offensive player of the year patriots actually went 123 in that category. With Ravi moss and Welker actually coming in -- that are tied for third with for a five so that's that's a pretty impressive feat for an offense that went from. You know no talent on the roster -- you know all due respect Reche Caldwell John Brady three offense I player of the year guys 12 and three so. It's interesting -- obviously a lot of awards coming into the sixteen you know the records this season. I was in these parts of the long time. For what you go get to the injury report as we do pretty much every week it's playoff time. Is it a leg injury report injury report this week and a lot of players on it for the patriots we'll get to Thursday's obviously later today we'll get the probable you know -- questionable designation of this week all these guys limited participation. Willie Andrew's elbow Kyle Brady team to agent Kyle -- dumb Rodney Harrison by Ellis Hobbs -- agent. Catcher put Stephen Neal shoulder -- spot knee. Influence on hamstring Wes Welker team decision. And I look at that list while obviously Tom Brady full participation right elbow is always on the Internet but I look at that list and to meet Harrison won the most interest in injury there. Other guys Patrick -- their starters but. This team has dealt with that injury Rodney Harrison is and anyway limited this week are moving forward what kind of a regular ripple that have on the deep."

[6:15]" And the other guys that are there team decisions and I don't worry about that because I look at it more tomorrow turning but yet the Rodney thing it looked like earlier in the week Eric -- give us an update from practicing how. You know working on him a little bit one of the days and I forget it was Tuesday or Wednesday. You know he was down now on the sideline the trainers were -- to for a little bit. Or maybe he's doing -- sort of lingering problem maybe on behalf of practice earlier that day or earlier in the navy league even last week. -- you wonder how that's going to affect him I'm sure he's going to play for you know you know if he's out there practicing even Arnold limited -- no way he's not going to play but you wonder if he's if he's forced to run around a little bit maybe aggravate whatever problem he has you know with that as a guy. Not that thigh bruise or you know something like that. Q you wonder how that affects things because I'm not sure you know there's been a big difference in that deep -- over the last couple years with them without Rodney Harrison he's it pretty important guys even."

[7:14]" His advanced age the one positive is that both Sanders and Wilson are healthy and we've been told a number of times that dollar jacket three for two so. While it wouldn't be we don't want to have Paris in one of those -- it's at least if Sanders may be ready to root movement that's strong safety role in Wilson ready to come back and make plays free safety so. You know they they they're suited I think get all these there's all these guys they have the depth to deal with Andy one or two of these players missing -- game but as you project forward. Doctors the divisional round and potentially FC title game against the colts maybe. You want to be at full strength if at all possible because you basically challengers bill says you know everybody's name now in the face of the game obviously. Clean laid there on there'll actually jaguars this after that that was a season. That are winning percentage anyway that's going to put the wraps and other roster report will that affect the -- Wealthy people that ray of sunshine and again next week for -- roster but I. Thanks for listening and gopac"
