[0:00]" One of our regulars. Here every Friday will be Matt Light. You certainly. -- good feel good -- ready -- how you view that. Yeah I haven't been around very -- pre season much so. I mean you know I'll ask you this first game. Pretty excited dummy that's the first games always where everybody gets keyed up. Probably about Friday but today there was some feeling you know it's coming around and you know really great. Work week in and as usual the of this first game. Column there's a question mark as you never know exactly what they're going to do what what he -- usually is what to get on opening day so. You know we -- out of -- than a week where you know retreated you know. Wednesday -- ago Thursday and Thursday like Thursday and Friday have Friday you know we do that you in America living -- yesterday -- the -- right rough. That's what good would go to Friday on a Thursday or Monday the -- picks so we -- that an extended period of time to you know really you know these guys and you know the great work we -- thank -- just now matter going their next."

[1:03]" You. Backup quarterback position was a big issue in the pre season -- you know people said that the reason that Matt Cassel look bad at times because. That play the poor play a lot of now you're back. Everybody together except for Stephen Neal and right side -- a lot of people questioning one of the weakest groups and it the under the -- line falls in that category."

[1:24]" they have every right to question it and they want -- I always say that you know if you go out there import performance or you don't put up the points you don't execute well. You don't just do the things that are. You know just what you should be doing what to go to Baskin people have every right to go out their question what you're doing at any position whether it. In a quarterback or offensive line running back whatever it is so I think. We take it on our order to ourselves that. You know it doesn't matter really who's in Jeremy and we you can use it as a crutch to some degree. Dom and everything will change when when guys come in and you know takes a little bit of you know practice and games and things like that to get acclimated to in your surroundings and everybody next -- but it I think I think at this point. You know you you'd use all that is kind of like a tool you know everybody has that it's over everybody knows he would do more everybody is proportional harder. And and it is that we is going to go out there we're gonna execute our office of player. You've been through number training camps now in how important which suits and campus for veteran guys completely self. You know. It's a debate that I think you'll hear -- different sides to book for me personally I think that. We all know we all its its -- time caught. -- if some if it's changed the sort of changed it would it would throw me off of the -- thought I think I need it. I think that you can't you can't simulate in practice or training camp even early training camp. What -- like to go get another Paula somebody comes in for a while it definitely -- you to sharpen your skills and focus and do all the little things to do her regular season. And you know like how like the preparation of the preceding it would."

[3:01]" Would you say to save the older you get beat. More -- who you are what the regular season less important or -- more important when you're younger."

[3:10]" Yeah -- I think when you're younger I think it is definitely. You know hell's kitchen you know in the right reminded the other it does more for when you're you know and an older player you've been around for awhile I think it's let's. Maybe less important but still. You know on the -- added if -- a week I'm an improvement go to the -- if I haven't played any pre season. I'm not going to feel that great you know -- the last pre season game I'd I didn't. And it feel like I'd been out there and Nolan you know little -- knock the rust off. Myself. Sucking wind in the first. It's usually weaker to a that you probably played a quarter to quarters or pre season game suddenly your full time player regular season. Ever since I -- count in college and became an office of life I -- and that's I think all the yesterday. It's. -- deaf player there's -- at the beginning of the season especially when you some was warmer weather electric heaven now. And you go out there to play in somebody's game is depo exhausting especially when you go some of those extended drives you know but that's where. You know your preparation and everything you do -- dampened and all the running that. That we duo couldn't put up from the bank of -- now and then and then you know make a few withdrawals and get. There was nobody likes to blame him in a freedom of this blog and talk about guys claim -- super regular season with a week. Sixteen games it's going to be a lot harder there. Yeah I mean I think he got to commend him the year we going relegate you know a -- everybody else do you would get. Kansas city's defense and that's it drive on their their physical team -- the guy's a flyer out of make a lot of plays. Big hustle. You know kind of guys that just -- relentless and never stopped so. If you go to guy like then you're not in top shape and good luck I was Dorsey -- him on the two and number rookie highly touted as -- in the I think you I think early it was a little banged up they did you know. -- you try to work through some rest WB to get the player you know he's together can be very disruptive in the middle pocket and and failures got some pretty good you know short space quickness and can do some some pretty he's -- give -- happily you know and and he had. The guys on the edge that are that are really good me and rotate guys in and out there and at the linebacker position those guys can really cover a lot of ground so you know they're they're really good --"

[5:26]" A thin little bird brought up on a regular basis. Will be well they're so pissed off because they won. Eighteen in a row that lost that Super Bowl that I have all of his motivation. Going into the always season is really any different than getting beat by Indianapolis the year before falling short that your goal and having to start all over again you feel a difference."

[5:45]" Yeah and it it actually. Like different to yanks put both those together Annika don't know like that. And I feel better -- and -- I was going to -- have -- it goes. That. There's dodger dog and your -- and exactly who's who's who enough already I hardly and it's built right now you know. I don't I don't think it changes what you do as a player though I mean. You know every year so differ I guess that though they would say that is is that when you win it. You know we you make the same argument when you win it is it is just doing anything for because they're always answered Warren is there any other when you lose what what's it mean. I don't clearly changed I think you approach every season as a completely unique. Different you know situations I think players guys because. All right fire them your gonna cut you get out of here right now because it is. A threat it spreads and it doesn't."

[6:45]" does this register. Which we were talking about the the last couple years are. Looking at the at the at the port side of this why is it. That it seems especially it's the team that loses in the Super Bowl has so much difficulty making the playoffs the next year. I can't figure it out but it seems to happen on a regular basis."

[7:06]" Yes I mean I think -- we but again we heard the same thing with teams that won miserable. You know I can remember heaven. A lot of signs up -- locker room after the first you know that of the 2001 season. And it and it basically had the same kind of statistics where you know teams for whatever reason they come back the following year and I just don't performer they don't execute. -- a loaded the year before I think that's true for. Oh while almost every team out there I mean it's hard if you have a lot of success -- season. And you come back. And it you don't have that same drive that same energy. And it approach each week but he did you before if you're complacent and anything that you're going to have issues but you know I think that's one thing we do pretty good around here we keep things in perspective and we understand it if we go out there we don't execute well we don't play well -- plays -- team and we don't. Do the things that don't we talk about have to do -- to be your opponent the world more workable lose and every week you guys without your big."

[7:59]" Weapons offensively this week Kevin Faulk -- and one game suspension how -- third down change the way Josh calls things because Kevin went -- backs in the league more -- Blitz pick up packages who's that next guy in their house Josh -- Well -- we we are really."

[8:15]" Out of backfield minutes obviously. The different with without Kevin and their but you know we only guys that that we're just play makers -- guys that are different take -- or do over more -- you know however they do it. And I know they have always crazy routes I don't know what -- actually do a presidential run around it occurs -- exceed and yet is that you that you human pinball completely bow around there he'd. Blows people up on on kickoffs and and he he's he's he's a guy that you know there's just always a hundred monarch."

[8:46]" For the about -- the Cunningham one thing one positive heads off or twelfth duplicate -- last -- third on the -- was ranked number one. There -- about 31% that. That's not a that is one of their ranks as there is not allowing a lot of productive version --"

[9:00]" Can the red area and I mean I think they led the league or -- very. Close to leading the league in a couple of categories and -- in a red area or short yardage and goal line situations a mean. They're very very a good it and situation old D fence and I think that you know of those things that. When you look at it -- while you know these these guys are you know that top you don't want to put herself in the third and long situations need to have good. You know productivity a first down and you -- come back and you know -- a second down that you're not sitting there on third and long and their schedule things that they do."

[9:34]" best chance of might be to control ball offensively with their running game if if the running game going like it has in the past. Does that putting pressure on the offense in terms of ball control and also longer normally."

[9:46]" Yeah they've puts a lot of pressure on -- Appointed you know we -- what our running game is going well. -- it opens a Colombo thanks for and -- also -- you know they're going to do a lot of things to salute to stop that whether company yet down a boxer in a rotation here in there and and and a very good at that and I think they've brought -- front we know we ought to play a physical game. And we got to play it for sixty minutes have we but we gonna have a great start it was a little commitment that's -- a key to victory week but. You know these guys it is definitely present a lot of those issues I think. You know we we have a talented backfield that we can do it as a matter of you know get out there and execute no visible things tight ends and everybody by -- ago."

[10:25]" He brought up. Dorsey there'll eleven starters that are rookies on this on this team coming up on on Sunday. Young players rookies like right out of -- run right out of the box and how. Do you view as the game is progressing along do you see rookies change in the way they play from the beginning to the end of the game. Are employed what is the first."

[10:48]" Yes Emilia -- to him because you know for for us that it means we have you know. That much less -- actually. Watson view -- with -- especially did a pretty easy thing you know idea what their rent like anyways so a bomb you know I I think for young guy coming in. You know the way we approach it is you know we're going to try to -- much -- we're do we do. And and really hopefully that don't -- hopefully we can set the tempo hopefully it's not them. You know making the big plays Wallace stuff but you never know if rookies and I think about the -- going pretty hard."

[11:20]" We want to really is but our team -- heavily have a -- under and heavy underdog can they catch you. You look at the Buffalo game -- past has opened a pair of Buffalo. Bang there's playwright on the ground where -- thing you know -- that while cats dogs any time could be cat caught -- is fair to say you know first game second game and that's what's going to happen. I'd have a bulletproof vest on. I don't know if they don't widger I mean I think -- what's underneath that don't wounded. Visual that you think next Tuesday that it and there's no you know. Ate at the start of the season -- bodies don't -- as as an -- team. Because Latin -- you look at it gets heavy favorites in this game -- I'll I'll think though. But it it was evident you know we we don't we don't follow that he gambles right to know anymore but president -- Torre loves. Them. We should mention that that met those of his celebrity shoot out coming up on Tuesday. You can go to Matt Light 72 dot com. Well you could go to that that would get you where you or you could go to. Did you get a pop up my game whereas they look at IQ all the what it's like communicate back. Do we just like you are. -- an -- I don't let it go right yet you know you go to Matt Light foundation dot org site dated check it out there but you know it's it's golfing with a."

[12:46]" I -- we we talk will be about last week and it's it's it's an event that you know. -- did in my heart obviously. What we do to a foundation. -- as -- a major impact on a lot of kids like it's in this area like Israel from back Ohman and I and I I thoroughly enjoyed working with these kids you know. -- my whole goal what I do the foundation is a hopefully someday good old man sit around and we watch my kids go out there. And give back in some way and hoping my Greinke -- same thing -- passed -- a legacy. But all have liked to have on the kids we were with now come back someday -- volunteering yard screen then that's that's that's the whole reason it's."

[13:24]" Great thing incompetent interesting concept as well we're going to get heavily interested in the involvement next year that you know ridiculous thing. And I tell you what that is they wind at the -- not always about we've been -- and that's and that's putting guns haven't invited Dick -- down there now and we got -- we got guys like you know Bruschi and Vrabel and an end and they haven't done anything crazy and even even a long -- friend -- women about their commitment easily -- UN -- opening -- provided a put together before -- after McCain -- don't speech -- a -- my brother like halfway through admitted that he brought it home that -- You know little flurry at the end there I I did jumping Jack Purcell three hours I was I was so and I am -- I I up. Quite the and I am proud to be in America and got it whether that was our nose into a man -- here one just one. Emotional. The night before I think I don't know anything about politics I don't know records fell apart awaited -- you change your name to see -- that those yet have you been legally. If they go spirited kid that'll I don't know and that I'm on the -- natural about a point that actually changes his -- to there was number. New idea that that they have enough. I don't know if it's just doing what doesn't know his -- recognized -- input on looters and illiterate he will have to be referred to by all the NFL announced. As both just like. Come on how to program at pocono have been recognized out there really happy to have read they go to class you know Brady -- eleven million dollar piece of land out of the last -- yeah I don't give an idea. -- back in the bat that's going to be just how I. Did that worked everything they know the best -- then you go with Bruton is should this one today -- that they Condo in the back Libya place in the back leg clot right -- three condos oddities like a slump will get 3COM goes back and then -- and soreness. On second street and all of them on a grand a month and that's an unbelievable really make a killing a program that people who does she does football stuff well he's he's gifted and I didn't get a play there but I am I'm working on a spot. On the west coast I -- wanted to know the words you don't you don't read the papers at all.
