Play from 0:02[0:02]" Toyota Tundra just won the 2008 motor trend truck of the year and new. That's pretty. That's changing you know."

Play from 0:13[0:13]" Coming up until I noticed Patriots today and we're talking RBs. -- not that. Running backs. But it's still a kid who just president Roy you get rid of the workers are aware of what. It's going to -- yet. It's Sunday snow day of rest Foxboro guidebook pack of eight break. Welcome to Toyota's Patriots today. Brought to you side that Toyota Tundra."

Play from 0:44[0:44]" Hello everyone and welcome to Toyota's Patriots today I'm Christine hacker little rain this morning did not accept the Patriots from taking the practice field outside today. It's early didn't stop the fans coming out to cheer them on. They're pushing through day for a training camp today with -- another day double sessions right out Bryant -- getting started with a closer look at the newest addition to the Patriots running backs line."

Play from 1:06[1:06]" No. So angry -- number 32 behind. Hopefully it. It's team that the big -- yeah."

Play from 1:17[1:17]" LaMont Jordan said he had no use for the Patriots during his four year stint with the Jets earlier this decade appeals have probably carried over into his time as a reader the last three years. But now he is a member of the Patriots signing -- standard and take part in his first full practice sessions Sunday morning. He's ready to start fresh which is defending AFC team."

Play from 1:42[1:42]" It's like you sportswriters -- my return and I -- The second."

Play from 1:58[1:58]" If the coaches decide to -- short in his versatility coming team. Bill Belichick the and you Raiders you can look at that solid group of -- already on the roster another quality. -- And I think -- at some. Quality network. Field and please play against them number tons. A successful run. In the past and yeah. Three studs. You know when to back to one day in the weeks -- that it'll -- obviously never won those things happen with the you know it makes our team better and I think that was the reason for him."

Play from 2:38[2:38]" I don't know will step into. I was when I didn't hear. They didn't do much or."

Play from 2:50[2:50]" The Jordan actors are running back picture that includes a group of experienced and versatile players. But regardless of his impact on the running game. The Patriots except in that department will rely heavily on Laurence Maroney. Instead of performance -- last season served as a big confidence."

Play from 3:06[3:06]" I'd have to give you know it didn't feel and then let me know did you know put my mind -- an -- coverage. I think we've played -- of the agreement -- him in there."

Play from 3:17[3:17]" Now we -- three of his NFL career Maroney seasons change it's just his performance level often not just start with training camp and try to improve it. The quality of the cats running backs overall. You know we have got to have those guys that get these -- and you know we just hurts -- being relieved weathers are aware of what. Beijing Olympics yet."

Play from 3:39[3:39]" So Maroney is confident entering 2008 and hope seeking carry over some of the success he had last season. Pitching that they added another running back considering their four top guys are healthy and strong out there -- TC Jordan sitting in. No he's another personal guy Bill Belichick today was talking about I he's big you strike in. Help a lot in the passing game. I think he's there for depth and and almost for insurance in my opinion of the top four guys that they have right now Maroney are Spock evident they're all healthy then. I'm not sure where it's at the the picture but they may decide to go five running backs this year maybe at the expense of a fourth tight end or an extra on offense -- and we'll see how plays out of everyone's healthy. Big decisions to be at the end of August."

Play from 4:17[4:17]" Five backs -- there's a focus on the running game out here we've seen how much of that has do. But the fact that other teams facing the Patriots are going to be really focusing on shutting down major task probably."

Play from 4:29[4:29]" A lot to do that they're -- they'll probably -- try to spread. Spread them out more threat -- doesn't keep it to spread out more and maybe use the running backs in different ways don't they love the screen passes they use that in the past not as much last year I think. I think they can use their right -- in different ways and maybe just try to balance the offense a little more not rely as heavily on the offensive Bobcats that would -- and."

Play from 4:49[4:49]" Well parry coming up a whole lot more -- his Patriots today right after this. Up next MVP players were spotted during a weekend practice are they any closer to coming back."

Play from 5:08[5:08]" The ring gear on many have tons there is this big. The one you want is this big. Tell you like them apples. Available on the tundra truck it's changing you know and stuff when the store for some. Some Brendan. And a million dollars. The lotteries billion dollar blockbuster. With lots of 1000000 and ten million dollar instant price is still waiting to be one. What are you waiting for."

Play from 5:48[5:48]" The fans came that's tricky today at eight she needs to get coach bill Belichick's autograph and he. -- over. To an exciting. Fans cheering for him afterwards went up to his press conference and here's what he had to say in your Patriots today pressed us."

Play from 6:04[6:04]" The support yet not a sportsman. It's been great churches. Personally -- for thirteen from. You know players but the interviewer last year couple times. For fans. Being here for. Probably places and here this team and reporters. And hit. Since pause. Kind of gone back to. -- Old school anyway it was earlier in 2001. Where it's a lot of time on fundamentals and individual techniques have. You know all the all the things you can practice looked as experts -- running game. It's hero to our camp and hope that that can carry through the course of the season. That you can continue to be good fundamental technique team. Michigan went to the year in the past -- you have to deal with all of the schematic things that that face to. There's a lot of things in -- no idea yet they have no idea you know member ones you know -- mentally. The rookies carry all the players in accurate travel agent now but he does everything for. So yeah amateurs. That are."

Play from 7:27[7:27]" What extra point is that Saturday night's practice was a walk through we did get a glimpse of the EP got the first time. Catcher that could be taken off today. Was out there at full pads -- set -- lot -- that a flux in all playing at it."

Play from 7:39[7:39]" Yeah and it observation I had Watson eleven on eleven drills which pretty active today couple plays that stood out in my mind rookie linebacker Gary guy he's not a guy that -- people price -- up he tipped and then intercepted a pass from Kevin O'Connell. Would've been taken to the house that this is an actual game then another one Jabar Gaffney had a great catch in the end zone pass from. Matt Gutierrez over Brandon meriwether Terrence Wheatley was right there in double coverage it was really good catch by Gaffney hard for. Me from my perspective to know what it's good offense versus bad defense and offense good defense who really knows but a couple of observations of few good plays in and -- widely cracked."

Play from 8:14[8:14]" And it seemed like technically -- it got up with the players after practice and here's with the head -- your locker room and."

Play from 8:26[8:26]" My agent called me from the -- this whole season. -- the moment is. Okay what does it. Do you feel that you play. But if you know why it took me awhile you know that's. Probably what you know if you know points. -- really said. You can't help. It's up. But that is just three players from. -- pretty much so explosive. It's everything. Just who will be toast the."

Play from 9:22[9:22]" Bulls come always have something here who have bought them yourself but. Again -- fit into the system. It's about being in the right place at the right times and a lot of times I don't get the ball music got a good job of drag someone would -- someone else that would open the live in the the -- proposal -- to the big unit effective. The most feared things look masters. Because -- You've got to be able to reach the -- an appendectomy is the biggest out."

Play from 9:55[9:55]" Tomorrow my name they singled to thirty practiced for the Patriots. And other Patriots today just very. That's good -- for the weekend we'll be back on Monday with a whole new week of training camp right here on Toyota's Patriots today."

Bill Belichick Press Conference - 1/12/2008 

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addresses the media during his postgame press conference at Gillette Stadium on January 12, 2008. BB: It was a good win tonight. You know,.Jacksonville is a good football team. [They] certainly gave us all we needed and could handle, but in the end [I’m] proud of our players. [They] stepped up [and] played well in the second half. Offensively, we had a pretty decent night moving the ball and defensively [we] finally got some stops--a couple in the red area and one down there at the end. I thought our kick coverage was good, which was helpful. You know, in the end, it was a good football team. [We] played well enough to win, made enough plays that we needed to make when it was a critical time and now we're on to next week. We know it keeps getting tougher every step of the way through the playoffs, so now whoever it is, we know we have to play better, play our best football next week. It's good to be playing football next week and [we’re] happy about that. Credit Jacksonville for their season and the way they played and competed tonight. Q:(On pass defense) BB: We didn't play real well defensively in the first half. They took advantage of a couple of errors that we made and they hurt us with them. I believe we can do a better job coaching and a better job playing it. Q:(On the other side the running game seemed to do pretty well against a physical and defensive line) BB: I thought Laurence [Maroney] ran well and our line blocked well. We had some good holds. Our receivers did a good job. They ran a lot of multiple receiver sets, and [Terry] Cousin, [Brian] Williams and [Rashean] Mathis are all top of the running game. So I thought they did a very competitive job there, too, and Laurence ran well. Kyle [Brady] helped us, too, on the edge. Q:(Regarding throws by Tom Brady). BB: Yeah, [it] was a little disappointing, the two he missed. You know, Tom, has been a great quarterback for us and his whole...
