Unfortunately we are beginning today some sad news headed and it -- players he -- passed away unblinking."

[1:07]" Gene -- fifteen year career was devoted to the Raiders and he went to superbowl and made seven Pro Bowl appearance and he became the executive director NFL players. In the 93. After ten years of service in each and -- salary cap at least yeah. And at times in a child -- a member of the pro football hall and Patriots owner Robert -- say about the loss leader of the players. I am deeply saddened today to learn and gene Upshaw asked. Me and I always admired and respected. Hard work and perseverance he accomplished so much in his life. -- passionate about -- looked long and dedicate much of his adult life to me. Not just for the benefit of the players for the benefit all of our fans hit. On behalf of my feeling in the entire New England Patriots organization. And in our years since the slight tear yeah tire at Chelsea and like on the game will be lasting -- prices will be. -- child was 63 years."

[2:25]" During hero million captains at theaters this city. The one you want to -- this week. That I utilizing them apples. Available on the it's true it's changing at all."

[2:45]" Starting Friday -- On and I was right you're not come and join me -- Bryant opened my interaction we need you out. During that -- and."

[3:04]" First time in 8 -- in time going like on hand to welcome back is good to be back to our football. A lot gone on all of fame induction on doing it the only other repeat it and -- it will that we can't --"

[3:19]" It would and they did it up right Broderick to draft April I don't party oriented. You know Andre just it was an all glory and deservedly so it's but. So you know I'm really proud of in the glad to have -- friend there."

[3:34]" Like at -- some football right in the middle of three. What did you seeded Patriots it gain so far from the first game."

[3:41]" The biggest thing they've gained as -- look at their. That's predominantly. You know it's really funny they need that. You know they even had. Seen like last year. Anyway you spend only start -- him -- really yeah they seem to be. Tired they -- Injury prone so maybe the idea -- load and a little bit at the innings that you don't. And whether that's part of the culture part of the thought process I don't know. But we have a lot of veterans that on the field you know old and a lot of plays that well. The Beers and."

[4:24]" And their -- their third game and Eagles Patriots -- tomorrow night. What should be back from thirteen rolls beat kind of more to fine let's maybe we look for."

[4:35]" I think you'll see a lot more than. The players out there. Grudge match. Still got it back -- on the ball back and you know I'm sure that there is no love -- in the majors and the Eagles I think they'll be a little more into the players always hit. Is it that always brings out the -- water -- a little more time. I think you know you'll still won't play at -- the bettors. Maybe have to sweep -- the games."

[5:10]" John thank you right now -- going to take a look at the top three things to watch for again an eagle."

[5:25]" No defense likes to be on the field for seventeen play nine and a half minutes drive especially to start again. But that's with the after the game during his defensive starters will that -- decorative event would set the tone for an ugly loss. We expect most of the Patriots projected starting defense when he screwed up against the Eagles Friday night. And it will be an important test. Showing more fight against the wind and simply -- off -- will be key objective. That Cassell shouldn't get another crack at improving his performance but just as important will be the player would you ever QB follows -- Last week it was Kevin O'Connell. Now with Matt Gutierrez apparently recovered from a bruise that kept him out of action last week perhaps he'll be the once again it didn't look. Eric had a mediocre outing against Baltimore in the past two field goals but also accounted for turnovers a strong performance. -- this sentiment that Gutierrez had what it takes to be the number two who beat. But needless to say any quarterback that -- after the cats will be heavily scrutinized yeah. Then again what every player and we've got three in particular to keep a close eye on Friday evening. Chad Jackson has been a disappointment thus far three catches for seventeen yards longer dropped and communication troubles. The opportunities have been there for Jackson to step up his game. But those opportunities dwindling like if you take advantage. LaMont Jordan quickly made an impression upon -- after camp started to do. Biggest offensive bright spot two weeks ago before being sidelined last week -- towards it's up against the Eagles had another strong performance. That could -- his spot on the final roster. My doctor Jerry I need this year's front runner for Patriot tour and an undrafted rookie Neifi yeah. Tonight George tech product on Friday and maybe seeing plenty more in September and beyond."

[7:26]" Are -- going to change -- just silent and he -- yeah. Not really them is in the league I'm -- He I mean. It it always feels weird initially. When the gap on the other team when it you know it is what it is."

[7:45]" Ellis Ellis Hobbs got about his former team made -- in mile high priced free agent at -- and became -- is returning to the oversaw the -- for the first time at least the Patriots know what to expect that there."

[7:57]" It's certainly the wide receivers Atlanta again and they'll they'll this guy a little from practicing -- many years. In at all being in reaction is that you know we are high priced Regis yeah. But actually from your your football team with the Eagles it's an interesting situation is they -- glut of starting caliber quarterbacks like injuries of wide receiver when the game out of Philadelphia this week it's should they -- scare them Cardinals but you basically -- with the quarterbacks. To Arizona for disgruntled wide receiver fumbled. It will be interesting to see how Philadelphia deal with that situation odds are definitely the team you'll appearance here you know one on the field. And eliminate her name. Is former. -- also a lot of people are wondering. I'm very play. -- once he appeared on the practice field the other day on Wednesday that certainly need some credence to meet you will play personally. I I don't think so I'll just get if there isn't it even with the why push it yeah just let it rest them over the course every season but definitely -- Phil -- blocker soldiers Friday yeah. -- issues at the office of like recently and it Mike -- to the roster are we see him play tomorrow I don't know what team play tomorrow but it pretty good veteran that he's only missed one game -- blast for years -- with the depth issues the Patriots tapped specifically guard three of the top four guards -- probably hurt I'm not a real solid academic center that could be a very valuable got out on the roster ready yet."

[9:23]" Great that didn't do it our game preview. We will be blocking during the game tomorrow night live to make street check out victor Conte. And as always have all the highlights and recap for you after the game on Saturday so we'll see you then right here on the streets."
