[4:06] ..." to star players that can devastate eighteen or at least to -- Shawne Merriman Osi Umenyiora. -- do you look at that aspect of -- what did you do for a living. And look at the vagaries of"...

[14:03] ..." Did did you ever think Brett Favre was actually retired."...

[15:57] ..." It's obvious that the Bill Belichick is not a pleasant person after two game losing streak now you're looking at three. Suffice to say you expect a little"...

[0:00]" He joins us on the -- logic doesn't seven and a half months is we've talked on the radio Tom you missed us terribly didn't yet. -- A thumb and what what should we. Be more worried about the Patriots -- three pre season mark thus far. Or your foot injury. Well. Cap but should you be ignored and I really. I don't think anybody pleased with the way we've we've played obviously especially coach Belichick excel. -- it's been a challenge in. And we know and."

[0:39]" Coach to Roger woman roster we haven't done that -- until the history you know well. You. Beat number excited about that so it's been shot and then go down there and Tom. Quipped what the feeling in the locker room when you lose. To motivate yourself to a ticket back to work and -- so we're doing the things that we need to do read. I think everybody. Now it is it is definitely disappointed. That they can come we realize or try to make improvements and big games don't count. Ideas can be ready sure when this feeling kicks off and you. Don't remember -- no it doesn't matter you all for them and I've been inside corner just east. You gotta you gotta and still win games. No matter so when you play in a and I know all the guys who have played him and wished they could've found ways to win that was especially quarterbacks so. Well I'll watch I'm making group and the that would appreciate Detroit's just -- What kind of team we got and their. I'm glad -- obviously I'm glad they don't gel. And that. I think everybody's always so excited and it was -- comfort. Because what do you do magic -- not there yet they're they're doing a pitcher instead. Bad. You know 5353. Guys who have done the right to -- on the --"

[2:04]" Tom do you think you can be ready for the Chiefs game if you don't take any snaps Thursday night against the Giants if you take no snaps in the pre season."

[2:12]" There should do about -- This is my. Would play a lot of football so. What do you play you don't play out you'd be I'd be ready no matter what it's all I could do except to coach I was so I could play last week. And they have they out coached coach -- decision not to not a happy place sell. Of course he would replenished this week I'm not sure our -- on the open almost out there and and if I don't play -- already potentially several. RBI I'll be very anxious and excited as some other question they implement that the well replied -- not."

[2:50]" When will you -- when will coach decide whether you play Thursday or not the outcome."

[2:55]" He definitely. Don't think they -- really doesn't tell us until they're too big reports so. Do you. This part of the way need though is I don't think he's such expectations forgot that they keep says prepare and expect to play in this. How -- you play well if you don't play your plate so. Well I've I think all of us are prepared to play into place furlong -- and that she decides differently than he doesn't -- okay okay okay that."

[3:23]" Well doesn't -- ask you how's your foot party feel. -- yeah well well well well you say this week when he asked you that."

[3:33]" Then -- after they did that last week great. They hadn't hit it to the dude really badly I'd love to play and that. I think he -- definitely yes I don't think -- much could -- a -- much every aspect."

[3:46]" You have some of the the beauty of the NFL list from top to bottom -- pretty much controls everything I mean they have everything figured -- they have all in a nice -- package -- presentation -- very -- in the -- the one -- that they can't control -- understand -- that we have to -- part of the game. Are these injuries to star players that can devastate eighteen or at least to -- Shawne Merriman Osi Umenyiora. -- do you look at that aspect of -- what did you do for a living. And look at the vagaries of of how just something so -- can happen and really devastated team and think that just isn't the way this league ought to be structured."

[4:26]" Yeah I bet that I. You know when you have a salary cap as well. And then you'd like your guys you don't really I'd take guy you're playing with no way I hope he makes whatever Shawne barely makes but he was one of those guys and you apply and -- They're nine million dollars less -- college Emmy goes to those guys didn't look much more so huge part of this game is. Injuries and help your team has because you can't I don't think any -- boos. To a three of their best players and expect to compete. Every single week it's just slaughtered so. It's did the police either when he didn't come out it's. It's it's hard for Jeter rebounded from that you what you eventually do end and that I think bill one. Good talk about -- other guys get opportunities. And then when those players who have been established come back you have more depth. And you have more confidence in the guy who would never got a chance to play at the star player not yeah. -- They pick the match kind of --"

[5:34]" I was so I had -- a do you do you feel like did did does the exhibition season. Clearly doesn't no matter Q now did he used to Tom when you were 26 point seven. Did you look at the back at the exhibition season pre season as it as a meaningful time to -- things get your game in order."

[5:54]" Yeah and I doubt Tiki should as a way to gain confidence bird. That this season and and I think our coaches which way to live. Seeing this trend to coach coach always says I'm going to let you start this season is that it is good. -- probably loaded doing -- dinner and that you think in general problem and -- They usually end up being a problem in the in December and do you live on that did not accept the mistakes and August. Well in September because. You gotta -- that they've collected its not like all of sudden just take and talk you come back and everything the good Alamo you -- it. Well what could those things and to improve so. Look if you you know you can't throw the ball and all -- why you think you can throw the ball on December. I'm -- energy that goes well a lot of things are being on our team so. We're trying to make those improvements have stoppage can't improve Rodham pitched just you've got to have nowhere to what you got to a west you can make improvements. Just can't assume that just wondering what you start everything's going to be cleared out. And I know this team is the -- we've got a lot of comparison the last just being spend I should -- was incredible team with dishes do about it is. They're very different style of team and we're going to find. Different ways we don't have -- bit. Certain position that we had last year and other commission to look more adapt so they might have been a strike last year. Maybe -- could be this -- shake them got them there were weeks scholarship I know you won't be this same weaknesses that that's just the way the football field than. Deadliest. -- score one more point than the other teams solve some problems we all keep that in mind I think god. Do you move forward. We just got to go out there and play with a lot of confidence and hope that we can scroll saw an --"

[7:43]" the side can you be specific what you mean when you say this is going to be a much different style football team can you can he put that end up. Something we can grass --"

[7:52]" Yeah I think we've we've lost dog we lost some some players in my -- then I'll. Ever played that much on the on the -- Good -- no accumulation and strategy. They go bad we're trying to figure out what we've learned a lot this year and they know we were doing my shorts went through some of those things this year I think that. We we've got there always gonna move we gotta Q there's there's. Finger down the stretch that we really learned about that we don't want to continue to do so we've got to find different ways to our. Dotel move the ball ostensibly without. Going back to -- you know rely on the things they -- last year because I think -- would question people are bad. -- months six months to figure out so well try to evolve and I think that's the one great tradable achievement -- other coaches who. Always who is best you go to -- check Josh they worked very hard to lose. Trust itself evaluate ourselves again and don't -- okay rookie who's been good worked. What they're still going to be part of the offense but -- also going to. We're also going to try to complement that was the most things that we want from other places that we watch -- Well. It's not going to be what you saw last year and it never -- I don't recognize them now what I always try to make comparisons for last year."

[9:17]" personally for you do this offseason representing sea change in your approach maybe that includes an understanding of what it does and doesn't take -- officially prepare yourself for the season."

[9:28]" Yeah I think that. Definitely their best big thing happening in my opinion and you have to worry and you know -- the huge part of my life and has -- much. They -- in the way that -- you know everybody in my life without you I'm but the military that need to take just -- stroke. It just didn't allow me to be back -- is much -- like Tom but I still. Knew that I would. What -- to be in the best -- I could Guillen and I felt really good about that Canberra. I wish you could have shown more and appreciate them -- I. You know it's gonna have to wait open Thursday night but then we'll see what happens okay Casey."

[10:09]" Tom what do you had won the super motivate you completed a perfect season nineteen you know what this team as a team I mean not just as an individual. Would this team be as motivated as hungry would you feel the same way about this team. As it has in the regular season. -- as you do now."

[10:27]" Yeah out -- night. What really indicate that they have bad bad bad flash game just keep. We we can't control the -- the attitude preparation that we put into that game and and to disappoint thing is we've we've we've celebrated both I'm glad feeling coach. Coach and mister Kraft and Jonathan. Davis. You know -- the AFC championship regular beautiful even. We have been hope that they will -- it to sixty and nobody walked up the regular season. Those women -- because when you think about last year we welcome your real disappointment. Obviously. I don't know what -- reflect on all right actually -- It's bat there -- a lot of sacrifices were made it -- a lot of sacrifices tomorrow if we should be proud of well we accomplished in. There was what I call that there is just -- one game that we didn't clip drove everybody can do you approach a best but. The one that counted most we did and and just play right to be enough so you accept did you move forward with each other do better. And yeah. I think you're great yeah first -- and I'm glad we want to adapt to learn from last year. And and move on and -- Then the team will -- when when the when mistakes so the Bennett thought I would. We have twelve best Ben and we did have furlong time actually did have freaking games last year and a I don't feel -- got a lot of guys grew up really quickly there are young players. Now those guys are going to be gone into -- RT where they play a much bigger role not let. Bell look at how they have no effort or junior. So hopefully creates more depth plus more understanding. And both of whom can use that took Jordan magic feet."

[12:19]" Don't you -- theories as to why recent history indicates the teams who lose in the Super Bowl. Save the following year any psychological or physical or combination reasons."

[12:31]" Well yeah I -- Yes I learned a congressionally if you years ago. We knew you wouldn't -- Super Bowl a lot of things happen and when you have free agents. Should agents become much more attractive do it keeps. And those coaches become much more attractive to the other cheek. And if I want from them and I think some odd that you lose maybe. But the difference between -- in the Super Bowl and now we're unsure last year it was -- we want to play it. Yeah and you can you can look at you can ever Super Bowl -- we will in this situation. I didn't know if they can move better build one -- players who built that. 99%. You know if you lose that -- 1% you don't -- so. They're very good. I don't believe we have the -- complacency which just that you just don't know. Do you think that it's going to be the same ecstatic that's a good if you just. Actually think Oden cook out there and it's going to be different between a lot of confidence overall he's gonna get caught the ball -- the you know and that and then you know I don't know who will be. No doubt thought slightly 2002 it was like. Oh man or behind we thought we. We -- we can just -- shaking out then everything was going to be the same -- That's just not -- works the and a."

[14:03]" Did did you ever think Brett Favre was actually retired."

[14:08]" I didn't I didn't I don't watch them I spoke comfort zone regardless of -- no -- no. Huge huge didn't you Mario golf for the next forty years you're going to. You know play in the game the trust somebody threw a no look again as much as he does -- do you still feel like you could do going to go out there and do it."

[14:30]" What what was your reaction when you found that it was company your division did you. Did you say are cool that I get to play against Bob would you say oh you know farms in the division we're going to see him twice a year that's trouble."

[14:41]" I think you try to first well maybe -- Beijing may Betty comes through so. Yeah. I think you'd run as quarterback they replace so. We know we went for the Jets are going to be challenged your opinion that you got to watch and a good cup appreciate what he's playing he's playing really well -- and that doesn't surprise -- because you and you incredible player. I'm. So often had to have -- in division I know we've only played against them twice in my career so. Played against him twice and she's should be allowed far. And he read a lot of energy you -- pushed. They're idiots I've made a lot of improvements have been made sure you do then. In other division is going to be a tough division I am watch them hit of the night though they're much improved so run if you -- make improvements this year especially our division."

[15:33]" You watched you watch exhibition for both teams you actually do you don't want them. Boy you do."

[15:39]" Our big -- big NFL network can Lamar -- Normally plays."

[15:43]" Tried watching last night they've been called -- and then bills and and Lucas Oil field it was just boring man was dull."

[15:52]" Yeah well matchup I imagine what this study itself."

[15:57]" It's obvious that the Bill Belichick is not a pleasant person after two game losing streak now you're looking at three. Suffice to say you expect a little in careening today or tomorrow."

[16:08]" We we -- on Saturday pretty good yeah and that. Only Jewish religion we live so when he loses that the that the peace. I don't think he did very frustrated that well he's he's on apparently still going to translate onto it again until all the time shall. You don't know what they -- need to go to open your practice field and then went kind of brought down performed. You know and coach generally -- one weeks broke. -- you gotta get well we can -- that I want I know you don't put the way you approach. Bench. It's hard for him to pick to take that -- PL. -- especially on the -- lower pitch on its okay and then. I hope this is the week that we get a general."

[16:57]" I scale of one to ten -- the -- who would you rank it."

[17:02]" sit there and thank -- come impact. I'm still in good good good good good good -- open net I don't say I'm open Alicia I could play all three cannot it did didn't happen and it. They do this -- this -- won't come out they're -- I'm not that. I'm trying to took a bit better especially I can't and and is there a minute wait I know how. Did you make an improvement there's no doubt about it."
