But the good use the -- season has finally come to an -- Well we ended the regular season let's take a look back and recap the Giants game."

[1:01]" Cassell got his start at. The Patriots visited in the game on the ground and Laurence Maroney going six yard. The Giants followed up by driving down nobody plays Brady. This tackles. If I didn't quite get -- it -- affect on the cross the goal line. The highlight catches for the instantly on. We've just under three minutes to go in the quarter that could hear it was in down on the first play it back by night. On the second quarter not much going on but a monster TD Sinorice Moss said is -- another score for the Giants. Fourth agent LaMont Jordan heading nicely and got behind me pats on the they just couldn't get Indians of this -- here as -- Chad Jackson who flipped over so be hitting the ground. And gave the Giants are -- Now the third quarter it was all about the giants' 21 possession. The first one inning with a great stop the Patriots red zone defense. Holding the Giants of into the fourth. They everybody Kevin O'Connell wrapping up. Rookie did just that with a great showing started with a fifteen yard pass -- Chad Jackson for the touchdown. And again this time picking it over the goal line itself five yard scramble for another -- his career path. Despite the let's hustle the Patriots couldn't catch up that time. Finals born in 1914."

[2:40]" Johnson good football team going to detest and it certainly started. To finish off bettors are offensively zone. Home City Hall you know comes together. To make some decisions here over the weekend and then just again -- against it."

[2:56]" The only four record for the Patriots pre season immediately became part of the past after the giant game. It's he would optimistic about starting the regular season and they had to say your locker room and kind."

[3:12]" Brewer -- to do significant. She's overweight we got Casey tournament -- supportive -- these days to get better each day. You've got to get -- Ravens -- thought -- we'll. -- Our latest -- you can prepared to work you know we. Mandate we would have. See I'm out of words so he's still -- you know it's -- Carlsbad you know. He's he's -- work -- back obviously it was his weight you know hand everybody coming together no team coming here."

[3:49]" Big thing for me it was -- experienced and in every weekend -- And you know it was first game playing against great defenses like Tampa bay and Philadelphia Eagles the Giants and in being able to go up there go through Reed and you know give up Steve don't call us up and play this -- defenses who are all very good for. So me it was going to cost us a thought -- but I do well with the opportunities that I had him. Now we just before we continue to work pitchers users don't look."

[4:16]" Put him on the little draw there and -- inevitable times and once again I mean -- they were really I don't know whether. Consciousness and win enough that we really didn't -- ball Benjarvis newsroom -- well. -- clinical path is there and more importantly had good field this court with the you know we're at Florida they get in trouble scoring -- you're planning on going downwind and we have moment."

[4:41]" I felt good to get up there and the other veteran guys like John Lynch and guys dad I'm -- so I'm comfortable at safety against the heat fans. Meet with the defense lawyers a closer links Kayla need offense and perfectionist. Philadelphia things up yeah. Things are slowing down a little bit up -- yeah you know posing curt -- Oakland tonight. I've seen have a lot to improve on bucks learn. And has great guys around it's. To me."

[5:15]" for me the hardest thing was it's nice of him confidence. It is. Looking at some account of how important -- Faces a disappointment. What. This is a business but. Just a hard thing. For a workout. Very fortunate."

[5:58]" They -- this club more on the Patriots pre season finale right after the putting the finishing touches on the pre season notes with Paul Burrell."

[6:08]" The -- and it does make you check out value in the meadowlands -- that's it's a great sign."

[6:14]" There's more Patriots today coming right up."

[6:21]" The ring here on -- have tons there is this big. The one you want -- this big. Tell you like them apples. Available on the tundra truck routes changing you know."

[6:41]" It was a busy Friday in Gillette Stadium switching gears from all soccer. In big Saturday match up against it and the yeah Alex. He can also see me during the telecast that he's not going to on the sidelines for grants TV there."

[6:59]" Thursday night Brian -- caught up with Patriots football weekly's all for real low and they are wrapping up the pre season."

[7:05]" Okay Christina thank you very much your cultural of Patriots football weekly Owens for pre season. Not a very inspiring ones been eighteen years since they went or four in the pre season but Youkilis in the players locker it's all about decorative it's city. What do you make of the way it's received her out now I'm absolutely not couldn't do with the players wannabe tells Tom Brady is on the field. And their performances on a consistent basis like the ones we've seen this summer. I'm not going to be concerned now you know -- as. We're going to focus on individuals not necessarily the evaluation on the team aspect of the game was missing parts -- so I sort of didn't -- much. Well as you mentioned until Tom Brady -- expect Kobe against Kansas City we don't know what the what's hot but that quarterback position. It's it's glaring we've talked about it enough but this is the final piece of the puzzle leading up to Saturday cuts -- He options had to keep four quarterbacks anyway expect what's going to happen over the exported out I haven't foggiest idea and and I tell you I don't really. I don't relish -- that position because it's a very difficult one. Cassell and Gutierrez Bulls have shown. Instead they can do it in spurts the bottom line drives -- the one of those guys really moved teams efficiently consistently enough makes you feel. Even a little bit of comfort in the event different -- I have no idea of -- do. Not as you might be all right Kevin O'Connell I spark -- and -- for a touchdown. Running for one as well almost a legendary comeback it was put to put it out what we will go there they'll blitzers right choice Camelot I'd say he'd either back or. I don't think so but. I'd like a lot of what a suitable politics you know -- built talk about him checking off when that touchdown pass judgment. He -- it kept us down at the meadowlands I'd that it had to get the grades night which -- just did it. That's I thought the defensive -- really stepped up. Door handful of individual plays would there was Wheatley Slater would with a strip chuck Crable that data passed. But I think more important was the first team defense really missed tackles what guys run -- touchdown would you make -- the first team yet."

[9:04]" The first drive again was ugly long drive eighty yards touchdown that's what drives -- games here force -- all of them. You know eighty yards or roughly thereabouts again much like the track record with Brady and the offense. I think the track record of success pretty well established over the last seven years but I think the Patriots defense can be much different than in the moment seemed to open games these."

[9:27]" Right and finally you have anyone in mind whether you surprise cut. Or surprised got to beat the final roster it's a really -- it's it's a tough points -- but Saturday at 4 o'clock in execute decisions any insight anything. Yeah I'll I'll give you this is a really at this will be a really really surprised I'm John went. He is totally unimpressed I don't think he. Moves anyway here as well as he did I think that's pretty obvious you know based on -- on the -- and Terry has over a terrific NFL but it is going to pick I didn't. You'll be surprised about the guy that part of white people for the for the money to I think they'll be shocked I think disappointment -- you know based on his plan field I haven't seen him in terms of a guy who'll stay. You know the Matthew Slater son match up biggest surprise that would be I think -- back he was back to return in the opening kick tonight -- was probably very good sign for him. I'm not sure there's a huge surprise in making I think all four quarterbacks -- their analysis don't right."

[10:16]" A very very interest evening it's good insight on you will be right back here in just over two weeks a little bit more a circus atmosphere I think -- the -- my right arm on media people and I I think there might be but of utmost importance of the city. Next Sunday that's going to do for Giants Stadium let's go back to Christina."

[10:33]" Now for coach bill Belichick's final thoughts of the Patriots 2008 pre season your your majors today press --"

[10:40]" Five. I think you always afford as far as regular season we ought to work to do between now and then go on his -- tonight. And it was -- just forget racing Kansas City game plan practice -- so. I'm sure my game -- always been a little bit more time. I mean I'm pretty easily yeah and make it to us as raucous as possible to. That all worked hard all. Oh really competed well taken advantage of the snaps you up to visit them dominant -- spot this year so it wasn't like Beckham. One name -- does -- warm up percentage of plans Napster gains in the practice excellent. I think it was good role when -- tough pins and number different areas and a little long way to go so. Must figure out how we manage a roster. Uncertainty and one of the decisions it's tough temple quarterback position what is news. -- existence versus the old ball game. We know. It's nice when James it doesn't change things. We take good records in person isn't a better than Griese isn't what counts type plans regular season. It's best matters. Doesn't mean that the performance enough individual performances and some of the group performances of tires give bonuses and important and it is important. At least your execution. You know a later point in time for us. You know I'd say that's you know that's that's very against racism."

[12:11]" That's going to do -- for today in the pre season and will be back next week after the Patriots secure their final roster and look ahead at the start of the regular season. We'll see then right here on play artist Patriots today."
