Shut up my knowledge or Allen he didn't just leniency by -- out -- out. -- Ricky Vinatieri might keep Davies Tim and Tony Chile Robby John had Andy and Andy forward looking -- noble -- field's Medal winners. Rebound after businesses. Unload and be hard on that's all you have any questions. I'm sure that Thomas again he's a guy named Tom could do my best -- so that was the wrong way plane hit it yourself. Hello miles west of patriots and Philip PFW in progress and it's been made and then move go away."
[1:11]" Yeah you know. Are right it's like we've just got cut off the radio on Sunday but here we are again. The Yankees here to talk about the aftermath right that the after the draft. 2008 -- that seven new patriot."
[1:32]" Seven -- patriots are now in the bowl and some of them will be here later this week rookie mini camp commences you know certainly a variety. I would imagine. A few of them will be there immediately well by Friday -- earlier I think number one will be later in the week. There really are lenient now it's the rookie mini camp if you can make it make -- Brady doesn't work out like Shaquille. -- mail will be here early to have a special special. And today happenings going on at Gillette Stadium that Kraft group in showcase entertainment and -- showcase slide in new. Alive entertainment venue here 500 to a thousand person. And you intimate -- tech audio big announcement today going to play that there to have a lineup. Up through this year. Peter Frampton will be here average white band just found out Peter rip who was alive and Geico commercials -- well welcome Abreu back oh Al green who. -- to Dave Brubeck. I don't I don't come with -- here oh. Economy and Atlanta but I'll take that vehicles they had about as well I'm Michael repeat of it makes eliminated them like different. Peter Frampton comes alive -- at about twelve twelve that already booked. Through the number of oh wait. Okay I am excited so -- I gotta be really good place to watch like music very comfortable at every place of you know every seat vehicle the rain dates in case that was opened up. Rain -- in case the -- does an open on time I think that the going to be problems. Just trying to be negative like -- negativity that is uncalled well wedeman a question for who who was here with mister Kraft now. When he made. Who was at the with mister Kraft and cherry red zone this owner's daughter up and isn't he. Pretty tight with Sumner. On the board of directors of Viacom. And isn't he ending with him I gotta take you know let us that it doesn't -- Fred yeah. It's the draft that you guys are talking about the ridiculous crap I just want to -- people right here I just want to filthy little what -- on outlets that made it totally. You know. A lot of things go -- guy Indians in those questions are but we do we do want to talk to the draft it's been a couple days. They finished up here guys. I -- opinions you know formulated to the point now where they change and it's they were -- how do you feel about this year's crop."
[4:29]" I feel a little better than it did last year at this time but not a whole field off him. I don't feel better than it did overall weekend my concerns about the -- we have been working on his bio for the paper. And the fact that he has used wrist in -- handicap card and while. Yeah and a when I assume he was going to have a chance to beat the team's lead kick returner and I know productive in that role but. Hard to catch kick off with two hands and wrist though so you don't think that the patriots did their due diligence medical now I'm sure they did the why you're. As we can hit a second round -- And the guy who I thought was perfect that the after the second round Chad Jackson has. At both in that worked -- didn't carrying handicapped -- but that -- I know but you know that's the last I don't round -- that actually did work -- you -- as -- it would waste a second round pick and a guy that -- exactly -- lot -- I don't -- can play because -- College. And that and that ethically I think they get home -- Omaha -- was you know was into it and he's trying to say not that the patriots don't know did win the point that. He -- about the late in the race. Well in in today's patriots are. Maybe do oh maybe nobody with the top ten pick and they got a steal second round because he has a -- right I'm sure that's what what part of the reason why did he got drafted higher that he was supposed to according to the expert was because they said. This guy second round ability. -- the wrist problem putting him down in the fourth the fifth -- area they thought it was worth the risk obviously that doesn't mean to be concerned about. -- Roscoe there's nothing to be concerned about. -- it. -- and by the way do you already you know on a plate in that arm once and had to have a different -- put it tight stadium that wanted to run broke they had to put -- in -- ones that didn't break. X era rookie -- going to talk about it does not -- lap and let him later never played in college but well -- That I you know the first 4 -- I am cool completely on board with the last three at that I thought throw away by -- should be on board with a we do -- why would you think if they were throwing a neck. I don't think they care at that point -- with the same and you know let's look at me funny Alex stopped caring it probably is an Afghan -- let's do a favor you that rabbinical because at that time it was. It's tough to make the white I would say the fourth round that I was a way as that guy like no why they'd they'd moved up. Draft Matt later no I don't puzzled me that puzzles me now the only thing I can think of is doing a report that that it. It really -- assignments that recreates if you want to call it a little bit better data wise to be drafted in January the seventh and then maybe you could hiding to trade up and I I was puzzled. I don't know the answer."
[7:35]" Well I not exactly what that we know and I wanted to get back to -- rookie mini camp thing and we were laughing about who's going to be do we know of any of the draft pick that can't be here. Usually that's just Ohio State just stated anybody who has graduating class we know on another what now we don't know anybody that won't be here last year someone was here the first day I don't know -- might have a -- in these -- yet the running bet you light's chill went through here. The first day it was -- generally in -- and it's not to the draft guys but that's an example -- on an undrafted free agent usually one of death. This class won't be here because of that. Graduating class issues that to crop up -- right that's why I wondered if we have heard now now maybe if Mike had to pull out the but I know -- recent times like -- host of other undrafted free agents that the patriots sign -- supposedly. We have that list and Jarvis Green Ellis we don't care. We're not interest is not official -- you know nine I don't know I'll ruled out speculation. I had not that I don't care right -- just on I don't have the information and there wasn't any huge names on it like -- ice with plate means that anyone sudden gators don't ever sign him. The punter they're bringing in a trial we talked about maybe they would bring in the -- bring in another bunkers so the players if you didn't affect that. He Cabrera beat out a player who could get cut without ever having touched the ball to put."
[9:00]" But you mentioned -- because of the wrist. I like the guy because of what we've read about intelligence. His knowledge of the quarterback position the fact that he's he doesn't make stay back there I think he's the perfect guy for them I'm on board -- all of that. I still just think when a guy most football players who are really good. Have to risk that work to think that he's automatically jamming guys who knows that ever becomes an issue. I don't know how much he was asked that a Colorado but if he's asked to do that and it's an issue. You know two corners and bad results -- on him battle through bad wrist but. I just don't totally -- I Kerry can pick up the offense of single through the yeah that's -- that this puts us read up to his comedy can now you know with the players ago but aren't that would make more sense than -- Matthew -- if Padilla."
[9:49]" I like. I like the mail it. I didn't think we we would -- that high but I can live with the -- if they like if that's the kind of quarter. I like the O'Connell pick because I don't think that there's a lot of holes to fill on this team and I thought backup quarterback was what oval. So they think this guy's good I like it. After that they lost me like Crable. -- and the and the Crable despite okay but -- for a copy for those are fine then it will -- pick. I mean everyone you talk to says this guy got be like a freak at -- all anybody -- So that when I didn't get and the Slater pick. I think maybe doubles mind boggling pick in the history of patron patriots franchise because they -- because they traded up they get -- which nobody quite understand."
[10:32]" You know -- was a fifth round pick so what she -- one of those things that three years and I get a lot of it really set him back you don't know but I did hear bill talked yesterday on. Not WEEI for a little bit and he talked about how. They thought that was kind of a run on that kind of player. Bill that you know that you know we we we got a little antsy there because I never saw that we thought there was that's where some of those athletic. That special teams tight players were going to and I was looking that you know the area in -- a lot of guys that played. Other positions they were basically quarterbacks that had special teams ability that we're going in that area. So you know I thought will -- would be kind of you know a lot of people archer he's going to be a good -- quarterback at the NFL level but people think that he could be a good special teams guys that like -- didn't UConn go in that area. So on -- he would the second round of the radio they're within a puzzled me was that they obviously. Wanted to get quarterback but they had when they pick their quarterbacks that there were other players available who we thought they might have interest -- who were bigger. 61200 eyes and went for the smaller 5951058 be given up on Matt and they want little -- yet and that's what I -- say that I think that he -- But I thought I was trying to ask him why what the mentality was behind then obviously wouldn't answer me and I didn't work out the way hoped but I mean if you let all. We never know you have to try to -- hit right -- that -- you are right but if right -- you do you have to --"
[12:07]" If you wanted to ask what he thought Lloyd Carr. He be more than happy about probably the best thing that could ever happen -- Lloyd Carr finally retired about the gloves are off with bill oh just. -- just give him what what will put a body -- you know what it's like it's like the bills thing with Marv Levy had marked a program where he like had marked -- what he did for the bills. Hated Marv Levy he likes Ron English from what he did for those those the pensive players -- clearly hate what I think is billions he doesn't yet have reason hate. Like he usually hates for a reason now what with -- boys are up a break."
[12:38]" Helped out on that base of them inside scoop but what I don't quite as friendly I think you're right I think -- might be it could be as little as that an adult -- take them you know -- a little time I don't think it takes a lot. I don't think he needs a reason but I bet against it happens it's actually right yes but he sees it as light in whether it was real -- not. And -- kinda -- with Eric he's one of those inner circle you know. The Parcells guys you know -- you know Adam -- every year railways around subway is. Bill's got a very small inner circle and everybody else -- has no use for and certainly I would agree with. Like ours one of those guys that he has -- he's. I know what about the -- another throw it -- had a great coach I don't know it is about. Going to be a coach at -- or whatever that profile Freddie. And just you know is one of those guys that. I talked it was coach yesterday's coordinator Kevin Cosgrove just can't find anybody anything out of it that you know the ultimate football player I expect good size good speed. On not used by six -- 32 you know 24235 to forty. Good range you know was couldn't coverage and and does a lot of different things well played different spot has the flexibility according to -- cause growth. I don't know he's not a 197 overall I'm not going to raise an eyebrow he gets cut immediately but. I mean you can't ignore his Brothers in the NFL his father played in the NFL two uncles all played for Nebraska has great grandfather played. I mean it's a long storied. Football tradition in the family and that tells me and watered down over the years while the left over I know I am one of the job. One of the draft that particular NFL draft scout said that based on the fact he was invited to -- com bind with -- indicate that he's the runt of the litter. Which I was a little harsh but that is weird yeah. I think he's the -- he's one of those I think they probably would would project to be leaning he's one of those hard working kids that. Get the most out of his ability but he is he's very student of the game. While study film of and watch all that not well those guys can't miss guy like that comes in in navy you know impressed with his knowledge and stuff like that I don't pick this up will be all that difficult and picked up -- bad news for Bubba now now he's got a he'll be out route will be on the practice squad he'll be a bubble like practice squad. But he'll use his eligibility there in the and you -- coach college or high school footballer. It so overall I think it was a pretty good track threat that give them -- BP mine I have no idea. You know I think I don't disease plus as I did see -- there are -- I like when I like him mayo two but it is a great the first run -- little people have written in some of those grade in. And I and I can understand why papers and that he wasn't at number ten. On no one really had a ranked that highly. I look at a little bit different way I look at. That guy if you -- we all know that you'll target guy not an early position or whatever we always have been beaten value thing. If you think he's got back -- athleticism melt -- old and because he said to Indy. Keith Rivers is this is no way to there's a difference of -- number nine and number 25. Between rivers and mailed it basically the same -- And now type and old men that and he'll agreed and there and they'll agreed -- think it was that far fetched that wasn't overly surprised that the patriots. Thought he was worth the worthy of that after eight years of things when they're going to take a linebacker I don't I -- the value wasn't there I like yeah like fourteenth player bill couldn't trade to fourteen right thing I want to know what you -- happy I want to."
[16:30]" It get indications that the -- wanted to move down further. We have some rumors that they were talking with Houston to get down eighteen before he and then moved down and maybe they thought you know male would be there that it wasn't. Then they have the pick of the quarterbacks like yeah you're probably right but yeah I -- I want -- linebacker -- I'm background."
[16:49]" My point I'm sick here that the patriots reached at Jacksonville reached because they gave up three picks to get the heart beat the in Jacksonville doesn't -- the team is loaded okay. If they think there -- Super Bowl contender -- while Harvey but they do so let's just let's just an important part time record that's my point pasting they bubble. Now they go up to a heart -- they give up three picked -- of three special teams players big deal. That makes it also reach well reports -- the bagels and take -- with the next pick for the ball always had to reach that the next he was going to take them. And like you said what was -- going to go fifteen. So they picked up five pick too high -- that doesn't make any sense to me reach is Chris Johnson who went around too early to Tennessee that's a reach."
[17:30]" Match -- it -- now what could not -- but I I think that that that distinction you made -- about the fact that Jacksonville. Had that high value on the play just like the patriots obviously do with male I think that's important now. Three years now we can accurately judge with these plays to a -- animal decide who's right or wrong but I don't think you can look their sail idea too much one hand. They obviously didn't feel what. It to him like 88. Valued the player and did what they could do to get as we head on Saturday Sunday a team need. Has a direct effect on the value. And you know that Jack and I mean about the -- I'm taken me real close the colts and patriots don't do with the super bull. You get to pass rushers in the draft made that which over the that might be the biggest thing that holds Jackson will back state we saw them play the patron lasted there was no comparison in my opinion to the way -- jags play the patriots playoff last year. And the way they did in around christmas time the report but there was much more competitive game last year and I thought the patriots were far better team last year and they were. Christmastime and no it. Why they they were lacking. Pattern all party and you know it will be able to do it was the other grow and grow. I don't know if they'll be able to do it well in a time will tell but that was the want to know what Lackey -- they had decent cover guys. You know they they really did a good job mosque that night. But they couldn't you know Bryant wins I think actually -- that night while Mathis was on the outside. They just couldn't thought they couldn't get any pressure on Brady got comfortable and couldn't stop them remembered Brady threw completed one when he when he -- when he you know whatever one bus comes right the two best teams -- football patriots colts and everybody in that every do you chase or chasing. And the giants beat the patriots with a pass rush and the colts have struggled with the chargers because of pass rush issues so if you by the jaguars you say. You know what we're 345 if we can get a pass rush we can be one or two in this -- on the right -- as policy and you know that was a pretty tight game throughout. If they get pressure on Brady two or three times throughout the on the third dollar baby -- game changes but they forty to call so they couldn't get anywhere near -- great human I don't think I've Brady as comfortable as he was that night all year. Now as we all know it doesn't matter Steelers team the colts patriots this draft draft."
[19:46]" We're going to hold to that. I write web brown it would help to dot com is the email address where do you read my job he's started this crap last year right now and that would it was time for the two teams to play I know it without -- they always going to be easy right on the phone on and LA -- how you --"
[20:04]" I got great and often job this weekend and it really I agree thank you thank you really final -- Yankees. I want you black out and I'd like -- quote too hopeful but even -- surprise pick to take Wheatley. I don't I would sort of impressed what I -- no -- Getting their pick and they say. Well I would think they've allowed it didn't take any kind of outlook for the trade offers are ready."
[20:37]" I'm sure about -- attribute it to the team over time as it was when they go Welker but put that yeah. Let you know pale and -- that he -- able to play next to him like Welker as well. Look -- whatever you want to they can make fun of it all you want that guy is going to be an important part. Of this year round yeah absolutely should be. That's a valued at what they -- they wear him out there they brought him here they showed a lot of interest and a pitch he'll want those green ones of those politically. At a lot of interest probably were making sure that. Everything was what they -- was in the wrist was okay. He talked about it the Columbine music street -- in time that the -- on the patriots but every. Like me would be -- the -- that. You'll be next generation of weekly what front they heard it all off with that is that that you person makes you confident everything -- for everything. Everything -- and handicap are they want for -- knowledge of the game it particularly his knowledge of the position that guy like. Played running back in high school in the what did right. Play quarterback whole football -- eat at that fifth and I. Did did Dominic Rodgers Cromartie play quarterback is -- know what. I don't lot of guys play well. He has complete knowledge and knows you know he is blackboard knowledge is amazing. He under is he's very quickly I think he's he's perfect for the team. You know he -- start -- or will be difficult at the end at bat right off the -- In in the big week this team had one other team out of well read -- read you don't you don't even believe you're wrong class I nearly everything I had but my concern has gotten into any of Mike and do with. The first time to go to the gym receiver all of a sudden he's limited -- I'm worried about. Well I think with the give him a forearm shiver with that deal in there in east all over my -- our boys club or my concern is that the trend is for teams to get bigger more physical corners and we seem to be ideal but that's as well let let that crap no but the point is I don't -- I'm not buying that. But what is that -- we'll shut you down so -- not -- yet received."
[22:58]" Word that the two top quarters other board work the tall quarters available. So it's not necessarily that the look at first ivy I think baby at that point they took the but if they had traded down like he would said yeah and -- was gone yeah I believe one of the quarters they -- the draft that would have been a taller would have."
[23:15]" Cromartie or what happened to be also pretty good right. You know you can let -- little. You want the big guy you can get it in with -- receiver you'd rather have three guys who can play that up 59 guy who can play. But I haven't got a Matsui I graduate -- same area value right Terrell Thomas federal I -- very next pick was Terrell Thomas he's 61 to wonder what -- we -- forget about -- that page well -- was a better quarterback period. While obvious because it took him back on him from what we saw it to -- the limited resources we yet -- him I would it. Flat out at Terrell Thomas was the better player and and later in the -- that will play. They had a chance to get a player -- they worked a lot about will -- I'm -- I'm output will hiding and nobody in my my point is at the wheel -- that. I -- Obviously you reckon the vote we -- talked to somebody and they and they you know make you feel better while we needed. In August and by the door and researched and well well I used to my scouting report was good enough for him you know well I'd I I -- I'd rather orders that little -- I'm not excited about will -- I am excited about the later run around it trading I think that might be fun -- but right. Ridiculously athletic director not the best player on that I -- I hear it I -- that terrible fear I have about him back it. He was quoted one of those things of year two ago was contemplating now playing football I hope it makes it that night at your right but but I I am very excited about these first two -- About -- contributing meaningful reps this year."
[24:59]" I'm surprised Eric while the -- going to say about later as I started at the guy Abdul and I started my research on it. And I don't just -- have been here as long as these two you guys always say that football has to be number one yeah these guys. Just of the things I've read him I kind of agree with I don't know with football like the end -- I -- which is that to realize I got to me yet."
[25:22]" Guys were talking about -- months and -- show and you guys read not all the books and you know he played one year constantly I didn't play this year and he quit the team for showtime an -- and myself that guy with no position. Those kind of just an athlete. And didn't really love the game -- okay it was surprising pick because he had never played. He was seemingly willing to do anything it took to find a way to get on the field he was covering -- plane's height and he's back up quarterback he was playing special teams. I don't think he ever contemplating quitting the the team. And it's not like it is just some kids who grew up and are all just like football is that is that NFL hall of Famer. I mean to be as something to do that maybe he has led to what's that not everybody has the one of let me babies in another right NATO does but that's fine that's surprised that the patriots would take -- exact because -- football minded here that I agree with the B I don't Italy in two years. He's likely to hear what's it like I thought we might not because you don't make a lot so he's not -- not likely to be the commissioner of that league."
[26:26]" Bill dad he knows he later for -- has the relationship with him and dollar. I did but that would have been. I can feel it yet there he mentioned -- just say they. He liked it accomplishes and it really have
