In the wake of an unsightly Sunday night performing to tie the breakout everyone's favorite dog is three it -- preceded -- It's only three seasons -- backup quarterback Matt Cassel had a rough performance Sunday night minus Tom Brady for the second straight week the pads turn to Cassell. Patience while playing in the third quarter under his watch all the had mustered with a half ending. Go."

[7:50]" I think Gordon do."

[7:54]" You know just the theme of the day it was were you know -- would get better through. People preceded the rookie signal caller Kevin O'Connell took over for Cassell and promptly tossed a pick on his very first play from scrimmage."

[8:17]" Good news I'm doing good work. -- on the third play."

[8:33]" Pre season but the whole. Was that any negative wait for the past few events planned marathon but in your scoring drive off you'll think okay. By the end of the first half the tally was 234. Yards of offense and seventy. In the whole world --"

[8:49]" On the field. -- home. Up negative thought offensively."

[9:01]" But there was a positive for the past. The presence of John Lynch a Patriots for all of -- weekend the veteran safety and former buccaneer saw action on third down plays it right.

It's only three seasons but. Wins in his new -- certainly hope to shake off some that Ross put up solid showing their next spring season opportunity Friday night."

[9:40]" Joining me now on the field at Raymond James Stadium after the Patriots losses ball rolled it good football weekly Paul. Two games down two losses another overall underwhelming performance when you get your thoughts in general specifically the office why I agree in this one -- was a little bit more troubling and then last week against Baltimore they really didn't get much going early and was for a variety of reasons the running game looked good. Initially and then all of a sudden it's not a bottle -- Maroney. Not castle you know little scattering early and made some nice -- it would catch them -- heart beat Evans couple drops. It has been -- going offensively and I think that kind of stuff -- that he had bubble burst that. Quite what's excuse to. Thanks John Lynch just signed three to two days ago. Playing his own -- old home stadium and a bunch of third down plays your thoughts on him getting the action so but yeah and I'm not sure that he wanted to play -- like -- wanted to play as much as he did but Brandon Meriweather was down early in the game unfortunately. Went gets out there you know he was up at first sub defense which really didn't happen for about 1012 plays it was based defense every play. -- John Lynch has been around a long time he knows how to play the game. He's certainly not in mid season form what you know as you said Brian with one practice under his belt and and coming out there playing but. Now it's nice to get him in the flow of the game gave him into the Patriots system and let him get out there run around -- such -- needs the experience in this system. To what is sixteen years worth of NFL experience to work right. One player who impressed you on a positive way well you know. When you lose games this badly -- not a lot sticks out but I thought Shawn Crable again Brian. We haven't seen tons of him. At -- him on the practice field but he shows up against had a couple plays tonight. Albeit in the second half after the you know that quote -- damage was done but I thought he showed up it looked at -- associate at the back he comes in. Late at first after sales of 53 yard field. Have a negative -- when anyone in particular was this as a team or at I think it was trying to think defensively to me was was depressing because it was the first guys it was it was willful warrants more upfront it was Vrabel and and now Mayo and Bruschi it was really only hear woods subbing in for a -- it was Thomas didn't play and that front seven. Nothing overtly bad. But seventeenth placed opening game an excellent back all the way down -- with all of those second and third down opportunities to make way. It is different -- come up with one yet it didn't."

[11:58]" Well it if they had a few players who came back to action -- been injured. That's a positive sign Tom Brady not out there we'll see you then get back out there on Friday that's going to wrap up our coverage from Raymond James Stadium -- it back to Christina."

[12:11]" It to Brian and Paul all right our your head coach had to say after the game along with former Bucs safety John -- your patron St. trespassed."

[12:22]" Had a few moments on the Suns. So if he plays drugs -- game and missed tackles. On published passes -- all of us so. And I got it -- out there but there there's still a lot of things when he worked. With. Try to build on positive things didn't work on the negative things. If -- game. -- dollars a -- anytime. We come back if you -- us. Wonderfully we're here for. You know eleven years and it it seems like a long time ago -- it it's always apartment we start. You know it's nice uniform -- We really weren't really a two minute -- at that point we you know just over time outs. You know we we had a lot of substitutions at that point so. Rather try to get -- something with a lot of different people we could just kind of different time outs but he knows feisty feisty and those. Good judgment luckily -- comfortable position wasn't. I don't know -- it was. That we weren't really in the -- tournament."

[13:30]" I guess thick playbook -- okay I have. Last night was first -- we've got this week because of that and that book trying to learn at all. And you know there's different approaches -- it -- things they've been obviously very successful. Fans excited for the challenge this is really as a challenge to -- sixty years to alert us. To -- this team. You know brother role so you you know to get got to continue to continue work."

[13:58]" That's going to do it for our game recap as the Patriots look ahead to a short week hosting the Eagles on Friday we'll have more tomorrow. -- it's -- in this Patriots today."
