No Tom Brady was not present for the media portion of practice today."

Play from 1:12[1:12]" But like. Two Eagles. Meanwhile have to look at Brady understudy here's Brian -- with more on Matt Cassel. "

Play from 1:25[1:25]" The quarterback always gets the glory and always just the blame the nature of the position in the wake of -- second straight sub par offensive performance the Patriots. The brunt of the blame has come down on that QB next -- would -- bowl games thus far in place of Tom Brady. As the leader off to a Gordon performed statistics are always -- you always want pitching who was raised in New Orleans. Yeah. -- don't Sosa and certainly -- the DL and all of -- announcers but in this case they are two pretty. Against the Ravens in talking years the hatred has only reached the end zone twice both times with rookie Kevin O'Connell that it helped. I'm possessions under have to watch he does that type fights. Three turnovers and -- locals. To everybody excellent yeah it's important words so. It's just. We. Agree outings this soaring -- was -- and which Brady's availability in doubt for Friday night visit by Philadelphia the challenge continue with your desperate -- He spent two days it doesn't pay attention to criticism from outside the locker room only -- and -- at this juncture of his development. Totally different bowling because there's always things improve long we're going to Missouri didn't."

Play from 2:45[2:45]" Thanks Bryant they wouldn't -- got more Patriots that's coming up right after that."

Play from 2:50[2:50]" Tom none of that period of time and it's into the locker room we go. Coming up in the locker room."

Play from 2:58[2:58]" There's more hits today coming right out. The -- here under they have tons of theaters this big. The one you want to -- this week. You like them apples. Available on the the truck that's changing you know."

Play from 3:23[3:23]" For the second straight year the NFL's super ad campaign is making his rounds every team gathered stories of players haven't -- moments they knew they. -- in the league. Today the portable studio truck was parked outside Gillette Stadium hoping -- some Patriots stories."

Play from 3:40[3:40]" Well look for you on the super -- tomorrow right how -- you with the Patriots and they are cameras today in the locker room major major and locker room and."

Play from 3:54[3:54]" I'm not -- as dominant as it is not a -- or not you know first. I don't blame us not enough time enough on the day we gotta do this team is officer's club and analytical interest mentally -- middle East -- were. It was not. The young guys it doesn't look familiar to notice the -- he's healthy he's a little sisters of the yeah this -- subject for my development periods as I go forward and get ready for it. We have confidence."

Play from 4:23[4:23]" It is more important that in the league season about it you can make. -- That is the case and I don't think I have played better in the first game. Sometimes you get a quarterback too much credit to my plan on his pitches you can just pick out you what they did it on the floor and all the blame. So I'm the kind of go with the territory. -- it."

Play from 4:47[4:47]" I'll who's been excused for instance there's -- mentor for me he has his work ethic on and off the field something I was -- to. -- a stretch you like so. He's his different and it seconds of the work yeah. Well no turnovers consistency in run ball better and I think that we didn't do well that's because time was it. Yeah 2000 and it was I wouldn't formidable. And those those little things that we had little posting."

Play from 5:21[5:21]" doing now on the field Bryant leading -- the of the game he wanted things to watch or some of these guys that are on the bubble three players in particular. It's likely end victor Hawpe and Marcus Pollard. Worry see him fitting in now after another game under the belt."

Play from 5:34[5:34]" So did you want Marcus -- he was released on Tuesday obviously doesn't fit into the team's plans he didn't have a huge impact in the pre season except he did have a few dropped against him base so obviously -- Patriots are letting him not notre kind of in the meantime it brought that -- of debris at tight and -- because he smacked in the pre season games. Victor hobson was guy who are really had my eye on he really didn't into the game until the second half but a little bit of inside linebacker a little bit on special teams. There's definitely a lot of guys including some rookie free agents. Ahead of him at the -- are on the depth chart. At linebacker I think it has a chance that he goes the -- Marcus Pollard and actually get cut before the season begins and once and had the death of the three he started -- you know a lot of actions six tackles and especially with Brandon -- getting her -- in the top shelf he's a guy who we could -- players are bigger role on this team during the regular season than we ever -- I -- from Brian what players to watch -- leading up to the Eagles game right Aaron -- good about at your feet at."

Play from 6:34[6:34]" But to get ready for short amount time. Of one of those later on seasons. -- a good chance of the get a little bit that. Practice that I was actually has what's that there and home. And to get criticised him behind this morning and Philadelphia. Palms to the times that probably everything that he would be doing. He's done before. -- and and didn't work on time although. Conversations. You know we had last year ran staff. Oh. That's an advantage. Some practices that he doesn't -- that -- things that he's done before. You know not -- things. Regular season and do you look at -- strength doesn't want to stay away from -- protects their weaknesses. And you might uncertain place for. Emphasize certain plays to try to -- We think that it's pre season we're war. My attitude is more Toronto plays. That you want to wrong. And that happens to -- their strength and define. How how well you can executed. A strong team. Happens it and won their weaknesses than. You know on -- hopefully. There."

Play from 8:05[8:05]" Well that's going to do it for today will be back tomorrow with more from the teachers that they prepare for the Eagles on Friday. We'll see then right here on clay this Patriots."
