[1:30]" Welcome the fifth -- in progress it is Thursday in sunny Scottsdale although it's a little chilly. Not exactly desert like that we are here. In getting even closer to the big day super Sunday. Kids -- his giants and giants still thinking they're going to win yeah -- Yesterday I just can't believe that ESP the same question every day when you bat as the giants they still they they're going to win. Well what a sign of lack of respect to the patriots they you know they should just. You know come right out and say we don't have a chance I can't believe it all the patriots really think they're going to win I will ever stop talking about it yet we're back here if W progress the email addresses web -- patriots -- web radio pages back com. Another day of live press conferences today this time from the team hotel. Things are looking good pitches dot com get a lot of emails people appreciating the coverage because they're not too happy with the ESP and cover."
[2:28]" Awful awful awful like that my father called me last night and he said you know what's going on with the ESPN -- with the NFL network -- reliant ESPN and he said. They got like five minutes the superbowl coverage all they do was go back to the studio would have like Emmitt Smith and stores. I don't want to see those guys almost see what's going on doubters -- right. I'm looking right now and that's exactly what. That dance with well you know the hosts and in analysts talking and does that -- I think everybody wants to see them Blake. Breakdown the game later in the week you have all week of the NFL network that these -- a better job of ski in the kind of revived on the -- down there in the media center in this stuff going on right now -- you know. It's not players and coaches right now with his other NFL that he felt -- exactly so. I don't know it is is. What do you think their doing it on purpose what's the deal they are all we know that the NFL owns them because of what they did with Daschle was named the show in the playmaker play makers -- what do what do station bowels to somebody like that then -- they have you for life. Columbus wondered if they're stating -- we want to -- pompous NFL network what do you just. Ease back a little bit because not making any sense to me I remember being before the NFL network existed watching ESP and with the media day and stuff. They had everything -- showed everything and yeah NC hardly anything this year. I don't know but you can certainly get at all that I -- idea you know covered the giants -- over to other web site of it is he was going. Cinnamon and even well they've had the same stuff on for like two days -- it's tough. Obviously it you know you were saying how we're pompano all the stuff. And I was there -- threat to not really but but but they don't really they're not turned over a lot of confidence that the."
[4:14]" It's compliment goes to the crafts I mean if they wanted to they could do was. It's not like it's magic it's just bodies that -- and and get it done and you know and they don't they don't want to invest in the bells whistles that we built this week with all -- you talk about -- got -- bug you guys out there just rightly opted yeah updating of photos and well I mean politics but that's exactly at an investment and you have to pay people who do it and get them down here and yet these ones but it takes he takes people it always comes down to people in very good point. So while I don't we are people I Eric. I want to get this -- right off my chest you know what I was cornered by by one of the security guards here yesterday because they were mad -- on our show. We're saying that anyone can get in here. Securities I don't know what's -- so I just want to say that right now it's a real team in the."
[5:10]" Yes they're doing a fine job it's not that we're passing the city. There are nice people that's what we you know play his match today if you if you have a credential on. That your picture around it and what is supposed to have to let you win they let -- did in the northeast they paid -- taking your blood type by the -- know cavity searches to get into Gillette actually like nice here Russians were not -- we don't I don't have to that point acting pompous and guided me they'd let anybody and obviously and they let the right people and without given much hassle. I'm I'm really trying to add back at Gillette do away with the eagles searches when we come into work I don't know -- I'm tired of that."
[5:48]" I square that it is yeah -- yeah we could benefit he got one thing nine game did you know every game that's okay -- in an."
[6:00]" On the way out to that doesn't make any sense I. -- radio and it just I com's email address -- what you guys doing today would you talk to during the free for all this morning. Richard Seymour Ellis Hobbs and Asante Samuel James Sanders -- were all confident. I years I've fears well Rodney Harrison Laurence Maroney had a -- on -- ago mr. Coolidge or over at the giants compound -- Sam Madison at a Cincinnati reds' Adam. But apparently he was not supposed to have fun and the Stacey James the giants came flying over able to make sure he took -- all options really -- I think -- at a giants Adam and it's a popular rule. I don't know what could you Reebok NFL world prior to lose a rebound might not have been a Reba I -- once -- hey Madison has the news was a reds had on this guy -- and -- That's money you know in in high school in the and a different schools or something new coach would like. You know. You know and that you know that that's where somebody else like -- Dartmouth I would at least by some other -- place to. If there's a lot of high schools that. People from my answer so I noticed Pope John gray and -- decided -- low -- at the weather today in the right I don't know what he was -- you wear it every piece of clothing he brought down with them today was it all you can -- It was as I was in my supposedly all the other place for get the blood in the thing and had this year like this thing around his neck -- even on in what was the thing. It is he had his game shirt on but it wasn't really -- it was just around and that they may comported on the other players have it on alternate every you have one on. Okay so they don't making Tom Brady -- one run lead at a press I don't know if you have to but all the guys at the tables -- Rachel didn't have one on holy Christ. Heated of this 90% of I had a total was Wes Welker not to throw that's 100% correct as every guy talked to ministers he ought not talking about that on the side compound podiums. On the podiums. But every guy all the guys at the tables and mine. Boykins has -- he doesn't go with somebody tell me was not I think in this week's England and yeah where I look all that I -- Yesterday's show was pretty lifeless I want to apologize -- I'd. It was okay when he apologized for Korea -- tomorrow I thought I did a helluva job you know arm I didn't -- it."
[8:36]" to a story that won the tie for the giants and Fred is a -- Brandon Jacobs -- companies -- confident guys in -- it cannot be when you walk around the world six or sixty seat and run fast you know like my story today is about him and Bradshaw though he was talking about. When he watches film and guys. In the second half for goal in his legs he says writing I don't I don't that they don't want it he's a deal they don't want they don't want to hit me any more flexible that what we're patriots to Wenatchee said. -- in my legs when so many AB's and with a with a look on his face he said you know you're. It right -- you pretty steady you know like -- and then the funniest story I think for me this whole week that I just I don't know I just sort of laugh but I found really you'll you'll probably by the but he and he. Lawrence Tynes. As the nationals LT. Right okay. So apparently you have those officials they just call -- LP well we are. So -- nickname was LT so we got to the giants and what the battery car accident he said I have LT and Harry Carson looked into the -- that. But you're not. I a so -- set I stopped cold by LP. But I found that interest in that apparently just need those initials -- ago by now. The are signs equipment and more on the black suits anymore info on the black suits. No that was in the was a lot of talk about that today a lot of the talk was about Plaxico Burress luckiest. You know exhibit no don't just about like him being out of breath. Yeah this has air yet. So yet to fight through it through those questions and there was still the predictions often those guys kinda they're tired talking about Scotland and I mean I'm pretty impressed with a lead yeah he's we need help you sound like you know."
[10:21]" I remember the that we play Carolina everyone can -- kind of impressed by John fox I'm kind of handled themselves pretty well I think Coughlin didn't want to insult it by you know it's funny week and we had all of us -- the opposite impression of Mike Martz. Right went in that's right level like you know this guys seem like. He's focused on the right things you know and then it came to head on the Friday to which we will have tomorrow. At mediate at the media Senna when at the trophy is out there and have those photo ops and and knew how much we made the witness didn't even to wouldn't touch the photo the trophy and the photos were like over in a blank. And Mike Martz came around I was like you know he had -- in the background India you know what was going to happen next he was making so much love to visit him and I literally would not such as he didn't into a waiting game unfolded it you know it kind of struck as one guy that was completely focused and another -- you guys in the silencing you know the dynasty is born tonight you know that he's not the only guy I think in that way. Now you know that was talked about death or you concerned that it seems like some patriot -- have -- nineteenth -- in the record to lose that a lot of them by their talent pretty tough I can -- region the Ellis -- and I don't think there's anything wrong I think they should be talking about it -- that we did something and there's going to be other teams that come along short but we'll always be the first to do it. Means they haven't done yet exactly but I'm just what is that what he's asking pretty confident that's all it. It's that it just answering the question like you always do what did you like about it for a second he's asking if this is similar to what the rams were -- just Ellis Hobbs thing in and that's not as -- a lot of guys and they have really embraced Seymour said something -- they're they're talking about it only -- and they even. I mean Brady has addressed this -- this is the biggest game of their lives are going to remember that's true but everybody down the line and some of the guys down the line have sort of talked about that it's almost it almost on the foregone conclusion and it isn't no it isn't. I don't think -- I think they're confident and I don't think -- I think they should be if won eighteen games and road again here. -- this news in the suitable for the fourth time is that he has many of these players have been a part of multiple trips why shouldn't be right but I don't want -- saying all next week if they lose that they were they were cocky and it. And assess it now at the time are they too caught in the talking about nineteen you know too much now in the other things to us -- thinking -- yes exactly. I think you have to tip your hat to the giants right now I would absolutely it. These columns about the patriots get caught up in history and in more about being the giants and out of out of I think it's just -- that now if you think you could make the you know the argument one of them. I was talking to one of you guys today saying. You can say that that last giants game. You know maybe -- you know the impetus that kind of propelled them here. He got that confidence company went on the playoff run and that's why they're in the superbowl but the same time you might be able to make an argument there might be the worst thing because. The game was so competitive and tight. That now they have the patriots full attention Brett and his notes -- beaten 38 to three like they did so many other teams this year. Maybe it might be well we already pain of these guys we know we can do it in. You know whereas that -- I don't it's going to be any of that with the patriots and it was pitched in with some Indies quote from the defense talking. You know some of the things that they want to do differently this time defensively than last time going against Eli Manning and trying to confuse and Dan apparently -- Thrown out of smoke signal or very willing to say we're going to throw a lot of different things at him coverage wise may confuse him pressure him -- the Packers tried to just do one thing they mix up their coverages and we're not going to do that I."
[13:50]" Think that's going to be interesting to focus talk of the giants. I think the reason they're confident. Is they feel they can score on the patriots when you talked to them a lot of it is is that we can move the ball we -- want we can do a lot of things offensively. So I think that is going to be the key is how well the patriots -- plate -- I don't think we're going to see the same kind effort. We sold New York and now maybe it won't work with the going to try but I think they will try new things putting pressure on Manning early in that a waiting till later on in the game."
[14:18]" you go down -- checklist and you look at these two teams other than the fact that while the giants hung with them and sweet sixteen. We'll let you know what can you look at the -- in the giants have an advantage in that can't just throw."
[14:30]" If if Eli Manning is on I think the route they he has some some receivers that can play. And if he gets -- a track meet -- they can stay with -- for awhile. Other the next uptight right now. A year I saw all three games not as good as the cowboys appear to not as good as the cowboys they may have a better coach they may have a better infrastructure that the cowboys put talent wise -- is better than them. Slowly that lets prepare like all the sudden with the giants -- the best team in football because they're not."
[14:57]" Why did beat the Packers."
[14:59]" Why did they beat the packer yeah why did the job I thought that I think the Packers were much better to -- there such a thing as an upset and I think I think that I think. That is what sales and I don't and the third downs and hi there -- and I think before the playoffs started I know I said and I think everybody agreed with me when I said it. That is the AFC we both going to be colts and patriots for sure didn't quite turn out that way but in the NFC we were saying. Anything could happen you can get it seemed you can get a six seed because all those teams recorded double together so -- don't necessarily think beating the cowboys in the packers'. It is as remarkable that the colts -- at the chargers have the in the colts than the patriots to meet that would -- a bigger feet I think Thomas right everybody was saying anything could happen I didn't think the giants do that he would. But if you would ask me. On what's more likely the five -- of the AFC and NFC I would knew how to think. Too long about it no way it was coming AFC because -- put on just not going to be. You know the colts and patriot right in and play -- that would have been remarkable feat."
[16:08]" We have for the last few years said you know this is huge gap between the NFC in the AFC. With the emergence of the Packers in the cowboys and now the giants as he has the gap clothes and are we still going to -- in this Super Bowl."
[16:20]" Now I I I don't think it's -- that much I really don't I think. I think the cowboys if they had a better upper management they have some talent. But it's starts at the top you know that Fred Lewis starts with the owners -- PM and that's where they're weak and I think -- the continued to have problems even if they win some games. In what do you have Dave -- but -- that's that's thank god for that and the Packers were surprise agreed that we were none of -- from the maybe so it was a shock to me I hadn't thought that would have happened what San Diego did in the playoffs mean I know that they didn't score a touchdown against the patriots him but I think we all agree there were pretty banged up went. They showed something to me that they aren't that talented team that we all thought it was pretty -- to go and that tells me that the best three teams in football erroneous in Jacksonville played well again in Jacksonville also you know -- up I don't know I'm -- and it. That -- better than the best team in FC two but. Date they're a little better than they would if they played Dallas on a neutral field not everybody with the gals -- be looked at 5050 split pretty much -- I was actually talking at once to one of the members of the craft and we -- crowd him and -- actually mentioned you know. You know with the giants -- look at -- and we're expecting a lot from them but. He was talking about Dallas you know Dallas he felt was the best team yet that they that the patriots played in the NFC yeah. And you know I think Tom's point about the what's not deceive ourselves thinking that suddenly. Three playoff wins has made the giants the best team in Tennessee -- while it."
[17:49]" And you know the biggest correlation I think. I don't think I don't know if it's going to turn out exactly that way but when you have the patriots and 85 when they went on the road and won three games. You know and then they played does you know the bears which were -- basketball no doubt about it just like a lot of people sleep. No doubt about the pictures of the best in got wallop."
[18:11]" I think that could happen again you know. Perhaps that's pretty much weight and he's -- and I think -- the key here is it to me is Manning I I could see him really struggling in this game I just. I said oh great games in a row when they hit some good -- mismanaged the game very well him we P zero intercept preference that that's the healer. Now what you're askew like is he going to throw for 350 yes currently his game he's a game manager. I just think that's going to be the difference in the game I think they kicked in the beginning -- he says his right and they can confuse him early on with a defense they would invite the early forties let's. The key is -- for the patriots he got to stop that run to force third and long. Because once you do that then he can do those things demanding that -- if you can't tell you gotta get his -- and yes -- That's why. Have zero interception that's why he's had so much restaurant over in the numbers 130 yards of Bradshaw 169 in the play -- come in the second half. They've been pounded defenses -- Jacobs early on. Indeed in those -- to lose it and they're converting in the second half they bring in the speedster. In with a defense is also open -- David had a lot of success but when you're behind but can't take that approach right -- Manning has to beat you with his arm yeah."
[19:27]" That gets them a talk about the running game on the other side that's him you know we talk a lot on the show about Laurence Maroney and how you know we weren't to throw his performance is for being a first round pick now that that's an interesting. Feedback from -- today on the way they've deployed -- this year you know some of the speculation we've had on the show as well you know he had the offseason shoulder surgery maybe maybe they were holding him back a little bit because they want to have a fresh for the playoffs. And you know sometimes -- you say things like that and it's just you know fans speculate we don't know him. He he basically he came out told me that they they kind of wanted to hold him back a little bit during the season. And make sure that that shoulder was a 100%. And that the later they could go in the season without giving him too many carries the better off he'd be at the end of the season and then as we've seen he's had his best games and that's true December so I thought it was just -- interest in any sort of confirmed what we've kind of been thinking about. Throughout the season that maybe they were holding them back just a little bit."
[20:27]" noncompliance. You know enough to be honest with him intensely -- and Carolina they gave the ball well plays in a row or something like that pre season game I think if there or about -- be in a 100% it would while they had he would you know if he could do it at all they figured. If you if you if you can't do that then I guess I -- think otherwise I think with the patriots try to do is they try to. Let the defense dictate what they're going to do offensively and I think that the way it's worked out. They've gotten to the point where they think the time. To use Maroney is there as a as a weapon and I still think it everything. Starts and ends with Tom real you know passing is at villa and I had not taking anything away from -- I think he's been fantastic cut down the stretch here. But if they don't throw the ball with some success I don't think that he is running the ball anywhere near as well I -- sit out of what any running back you know. Barring a you know select few but I just think that if they really worried about a shoulder being a 100% and I think he got fifteen carries that Carolina game I remember --"
[21:27]" Some point these guys and thorough they started the game off we and number it was just one play after and I went totally undefeated and and he came I don't know I don't really think -- the guy's not a 100% you're going to do that. You know and others they don't know -- was a 100% that they want to they figured if we don't need him right let's not use him in the game plan you know let's try well I didn't for as much as we can't just as fresh as. That's what that was opening a lot of carries with Morris finally got her about that that idea and -- went and -- I think was an effort to keep Maroney a little bit fresher but I that I -- Morris went down in the cowboys' game you know it's for -- the next month and a half or so he was church. Yeah and Corey wasn't getting carries well at some of that time Maroney was her right. Well for them it was -- Williams on the sideline."
[22:08]" And perplexing wanted to use the eagles because. Every team in the NFC east -- all over the eagles that analogy in that he did not even play it snap in the first and didn't do -- I totally agree with all the third game plan team. In my opinion that game running the football. Little that would help too because the eagles were playing ball past the fence and they didn't want to use of so when you're. They're trying to pinpoint Maroney to be that's the perplexing game went why why was he involved at all I actually think that that game may have told them say you know what. This is what teams are going to try to do analysts now they've they've seen what we can do offensively they've seen how many weapons we have. -- going to need to find a way
