And the NFL pro ball that took place this past weekend. That all the highlights plus a look at the top five topics they could have to focus on this offseason and they look ahead to 2008. And that's and you know he started. On an 81 degree day in Honolulu Hawaii it's -- NFL players they stopped the 2008 pro ball. Six patriots made the trip to be a little -- state Matt Light Logan Mankins Dan coping and design they seem at all. Vince Wilfork and Mike Vrabel also -- time on the field. The first half the game tied a pro bowl record with 48."

[1:29]" Points sport they held patriots offensive lineman Matt Light and Logan makes -- started that he seat. -- on Saturday and Kobe anyway ten yard kickoff return on opening play of the game. If he maintained his solid lead the entire first half of the public Cincinnati's TJ -- not. Who scored two touchdowns for the team into halftime. A 27 point one. Start of the second half I thought they feel headaches huge hit on Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald to make his Mark in the game -- it's going. But shortly after Adrian Peterson proved why he was the MVP of the game they seventeen -- Bryant scored his first and two touchdowns. It's Cuba leave for the NFC. Thousands all start -- hope came up with his second touchdown of the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Despite the efforts of San Diego's Antonio Cromartie with two interceptions in the game -- horrible record. Adrian Peterson ice the game for the NFC with his second touchdown of the game and just under three minutes to go -- Agent linebacker Mike Vrabel ended the day before. Four tackles and nose tackle Vince Wilfork was one -- six. During the pro bowl former patriot in newly named the hall of Famer Andre tippett. Spoke -- fox is Brian involving on the sidelines about his new title."

[2:51]" Here at the highest level."

[2:58]" One other note this week the patriots signed free agent linebacker TJ slaughter with the veteran of seven NFL season. After being selected by Jacksonville in the third round of the 2000 draft. Slaughter had played for five different NFL teams at the end of 2007 from the get out of the ball. This is actually the first time since 1966 that three patriots were on the offensive line together during the pro ball. Coming up granted -- a preview of the -- it's off season."

[3:34]" The ring here on May have tons there is this big. The one you want this this this. You like them apples. Available on the tundra truck exchanging you know."

[3:55]" The."

[3:55]" I -- Toyota's patriots today now that the 2007 season is all said and done the patriots are looking ahead to the 2008 -- then. The -- I was pointing out right now the most important topics for the patriots this often."

[4:14]" Offseason decisions come quickly for teams that advance deep into the playoffs especially the Super Bowl. After the patriots haven't lost the Super Bowl there won't be any trophy towards. Dvd release parties trips to the White House you -- with distractions that get away personnel moves. But the team looks to bounce back from the perfect season that wasn't. There are some key story lines to follow over the coming months weeks and even days so what's your right to want. For the second straight -- he's an autopsy team you'll is a focal point for the patriots. A year ago that he decided to place the franchise tag on -- free -- speaks. After an all pro campaign the quarterback is eligible."

[4:57]" How -- did -- long term deal by the end of this month supply your battery is working toward big huge blockbuster. Over his words -- best of -- could -- We'll be happy going to give in you'll deal that would make him happy. Will they watch number twenty -- in the prime of his career elsewhere. The answer should come by the first week of march. This status of another major player could be -- even earlier this. Wide receiver Randy Moss is due to hit the open market after a school record breaking season in New England. Would have put off deplete the franchise tag on bonds. The deadline for that in February 21 could you elaborate scheme to delay any -- great decision while keeping other team from flipping it. Tom Brady is on record as hoping my returns and bought himself today during Super Bowl week that he would love to retire at the patriots. Sure must prove that you keep writing Bill Belichick system. It was a locker alongside his star quarterback -- 2007 proof that he hit all week he's -- in New England."

[5:58]" The status of moss is the most significant issue for the patriots at wide receiver but it's far from their only issue at that position in fact the Wes Welker is the won't incumbent guaranteed to return in 2008."

[6:15]" Now that's -- for the team. Receptions for Welker gives too little clothes Donte' Stallworth will be creative outlet the parents pick up I have to bonus. Fifteen days telling Washington had the similar you'll play Jabar -- contract because both productive and that it's important right. Stellar career at the patriot -- effort -- Chad Jackson. Why don't under contract for next here putted -- walker the pats could -- several of the players. In the moss Stallworth Gaffney in Washington category. But it's unlikely group -- being. They're good likewise he should turn over at linebacker Rickey is sector. All five charter member of the -- woods will be at least 31 years old couple opening day 2008. Specifically -- he can always figured the future plans. A 39 year old free -- you stay out and 3040 year old free agent Teddy Bruschi. Perhaps both inside linebacker retired perhaps both returned may be one of the few they come -- But the bottom line is that had any big jumper and after a deposition the strategy this off season. Could beat Kentucky don't under youth veterans like Mike Vrabel for -- why. Perfect -- you talk. All of the -- decisions over the next two months we'll set the stage for the draft. That is now Bill Belichick and -- fuel we have the seventh pick things to a tree and bite you with the 49ers. They haven't had a selection that high since taking more the overall in 2000 once a trade out of the top ten is certainly a possibility. But then again the chance to take the blue chipper perhaps even the best player available at a certain positions. Could be tempting at the -- we'll get younger faster quicker."

[8:07]" League's annual NFL Columbine is next week in Indianapolis and that's really the first major off season. Events on the NFL calendar every general manager coach and scout is there and of course -- looking at you. Prospects for the upcoming draft and -- be key weekend for the patriots you know as we said they don't have a high kick this off and maybe that seven ticket and keeping that. Will be there in Indianapolis -- leader in."

[8:28]" Well I forgot to mention the most important person making the trip and you match. I think he'll need to measure but we're going to be there uncovering this covering this and we'll we'll get a chance to talk a lot of top prospects kind of focus -- or try to focus in on some of the key positions that you know we think the patriots might drafting. That never works out that way they would draft different way but it's a great way to you know sort of see these players up close and personal -- Exactly the collegiate players but it's also where a lot of Wheeling -- dealing. Start to take place with free agents every general managers there and you kind of might get a sense of what might be coming in the upcoming months from now I'll. So if they can't keep the pick if you had to guess what for this position you think they focus on pars obviously quarterback I just think linebacker might be their biggest area of need but. Their trend is not take linebackers early on I wouldn't say defensive back at this point but. As you know as we talked about so much that happened keep the pick trade the pick what other moves they -- in free agency which could affect. What they do with the draft armor back in 2004 it was running back running back running back running back. Five days before the draft they -- Corey Dillon. That'd take a running back to the fourth round so so much to take place over those next two months between the -- in the draft but it's a great way to get an early start what like what like --"

[9:39]" Course we will be there you will be there bringing us on the latest and will be doing an updated shell. Along the first of many that we hope will have throughout the offseason it was kind of preview what its count got."

[9:48]" You know it it it the NFL offseason starts right off the bat and down you know. The franchise tag as as I mentioned is over these next couple days really. Free agency starts on February 20 ninth all the draft maneuvering in and lead after the draft and even after the draft. They're still -- second weaver free agency so it it it really doesn't stop until really the summer months -- so. You know you know will be there along -- every step of the way and it's a little different when you make the Super Bowl as -- post every season and on December 28 because it just used it right into the month of January's kind of quiet for personnel moves around the NFL unless you're still play."

[10:23]" So we'll start to see all of this take place pretty much everywhere he's gone by pretty quick pretty fast I think it keeps -- I you know I'm not going anywhere -- all -- all -- all RA NF it up for today on the latest figures today that they with a -- hatred that's come all the latest updates and your favorite"
