[0:39]" Yes a lot to get too so we'll jump right into -- thank you -- August 20 ninth the moves began my voice deep with -- released Jamie Martin Jeff showed Jonathan who are released. One day later the Patriots placed Oliver Ross on reserve and F five so he has lost the first six weeks. They'll put Bo Ruud and penny -- Smith. On injured reserve a lot a lot of money and Kenny Smith and our Colorado and various -- That we go August 30 release of these veterans Titus Adams Fernando Bryant Tyson every mark. Dillard Mike Flynn Benjarvis Green-Ellis much Gutierrez. Victor -- been red Mike Richardson. Even today. Antoine -- Antonio Thomas and John Welbourn. On day later the team started -- practice squad back is Titus Adams mark Dillard Benjarvis Green-Ellis Vince -- Mike Richards and and -- on -- now we get to the media -- all 53 man cuts -- on the fun was over. All but wait one minute Chad Jackson August 31 gone. John Lynch August 31 and gone. What do you think. I PFW had a good roster cut down previous. We did -- and positive guys that were were instantly much discussed here on our roster reports out yet that -- progress. On not gonna say it wasn't surprising even though we talked about it because I think when you -- these guys of that. You know that magnitude it is prize but. I think the way we put it last week based on what we saw on the field -- those two guys. I think was the rightful. And I think they made those moves a day late and -- a lot of fans wondered about that. There were a lot of balls up in the air at that point the waiver process was underway the Patriots put in waiver claims and at least four players based on published reports. And we're speaking with another free agent guys who have been released but didn't have to clear waivers the next 891 of those. September 1 announced Deltha O'Neal two time pro -- cornerback most recently of the Cincinnati angles but lost his starting job there was deemed expendable think. In part partially to his. To play them five million dollar salary. Brought in here Paul to compete obviously corner what are your thoughts on that edition. I think it's another -- a long line of guys that they're looking to replace bigger name cornerback you know -- what -- are in the in the past now they're better than Jason Webster Fernando Bryant it is veteran free agent signings while if you're asking me if I think they'll stick around for a few weeks yes that means better I I'm not -- they in terms of talent as any. More more talented Miller you know more comfortable situation and then Bryant was Bryant was ranked one mean and he spent the whole pre season. With the first group getting off first team reps in and it was gone. And it was gone shortly after allowing R Johnson to run through him for seven yards on the way to touchdown in the pre season finale. Probably if that wasn't the -- part of the decision stamped his fate as a soft injury prone corner looking more to avoid injury. To make plays for the deep they charge at that. The next day -- actually that same day -- and -- Claimed off waivers from the Jets tight and don't get too attached and -- later in the roster portable -- here they also signed mark look for. Eight tackle claimed off waivers from -- Rams. Undrafted free agent typing -- at Notre Dame has never played in the game is now a member of your New England Patriots that same day to make room -- even spot but don't cry too much does he might be back later in the roster report. They also signed Jacob Bender and tight and every to the practice squad don't get too attached to every even spot was re signed one day later even spot is now you're third tight and on the roster. Heading into the regular season opener they released -- had to remain on the roster two business days I think technically date for three business days before it was at. To leave town. And and most recently yesterday on Thursday. They released tight and every from the practice squad and and hunter. Reggie Hodges punter who has played I think in -- ten career games 37 yard average now we're looking for Lewis talked about that in 2005. -- and yeah on shaky yet -- I think that there are always it's like that -- not. Ever really too comfortable with punting situations always are really good one he's constantly looking for upgrades there is costly bringing. -- in practice squad and whatnot and you know I think Hodges the latest one. To use sixth round pick out of ball date from -- channel five. As numbers not to -- not a lot of games. Not a lot of kicks under his belt fewer than fifty anyway. But no you know works out yeah. Probably like -- situation. With Danny Bob and Tom Malone in the past when they spent time on the practice squad if they do the job dead and maybe date to try to up the pressure a little bit and how he handles. You know more pressure packed situation and then if not he'll be gone -- certainly fit the mold they'll Belcher -- of late which is not a very proud of average but a decent number of -- down in the two point my -- out of 37. He's now he's a situational type honor which is what Hansen has been here and you're never going to the grade average but. Clearly I would not -- wouldn't buy -- I was in at this point -- Josh Miller has played this game and ended up with him not being in in the Patriot John -- comeback John -- I don't think will be back I don't think he has anything left in the -- but clearly the door left open -- his -- there's -- a lot of speculation there the one thing I'll say is -- was somewhat definitive thing that it was not a salary situation because John -- salary as a vested veteran. Would have become guaranteed had he been on the roster for week one you can bring him back after that and pay him sort of on a week to week basis like other players but Belcher who -- that idea. He could be back he might not one other important no lower on roster report Tom Brady was removed from the practice participation report yesterday. Basically it was finally over that shoulder injury -- I well I wouldn't they'll be an injury report later today on Friday that matter he could be on that but Tom Brady Bill Belichick told you -- news conference -- he expects -- to practice so we can be on the field Tom Brady will be under and against Kansas City Chiefs as we open the season. Here Sunday afternoon 1 o'clock Gillette Stadium. Back to --"
