Looking around the room to see if there's somebody else is more important to -- and it's like I'm supposed to be all happy. She's wearing a backpack and be hired you don't have. And it is nasty -- well would be that is surrounded by a bunch of drunken and -- and one of those. -- Friedel. We're now anyway."

So much to be the guy in the PG thirteen and -- it's really -- I couldn't believe it or move you know -- whether or not you like him and she was coming -- you're abandoning your best thing here that. And and G might raise the money you know Alex you're a big winner when -- a simple question and pointless and it was the big winner tonight. -- might he might. Winner might even win -- you never know who might dump lie PFW in progress as part of the Patriots football network. The -- It. As well."

[1:57]" Morrow. Who's saying. You never achieved. As soon."

[2:09]" And Fred didn't turn on as Mike. I welcome the PFW in progress that's the longest you've ever gone nearly three full sentences. -- it's. I did today -- elephant in the red hot it was. Headphones hit everything's. -- gamble like. -- shambles I got. On a I'm laurel and over all that I held the I. Well anyway welcome PFW progress of the game here might like it. Went and we. Too wet week that don't practice what we would hope you know coming Q has practice report but well let's hope let's hope. Yeah with the -- a rookie I'd hope like him as a rookie xmas and he yeah. Okay my at a little preview. That you Russell lectures. Oh okay. I apologize. Today. I was busy. Getting ready call it took place ribbon -- tomorrow. Of Raytheon. It's a big event here -- get them but it is going to be in that everyone Oprah today. -- date available to the public. With. Writing -- get down here check this out is going to be me. You -- you apologized for not being here while I'm going to get that night yet I hurt that can go. Indian Paul like rave reviews and Lotta people emailed -- gives the thumbs up very. Well done informant oh was that Rick Girardi. Might my guarding it might take credit that Indian but it. And I heard it was a very however. On the other. Yesterday's radio show from what I hear an abomination. Clearly the issue is Mike -- I was on both -- one was great once."

[4:06]" that according to Indy and Mike and I got here about 130. And I came down and they would Britain and all seen how bad the show was in. The email is more happy I chose to focus on our energy brought good to get one email -- today and ask PFW that people like this show ahead in doctor negativity put together pretty -- compared to Mike -- the mad dog on WFAN."

[4:30]" Email. -- Cola but James does go to if they've promised dot com the eighteenth at. 88 and -- Yeah definitely yeah and anyway I'm here to make up for that today. I didn't get -- about the game up I was. Obviously grow. That is game that I -- Him. Even though we did not rape and pillage. We did to that line that. I mean what now. No brought note no break they've got -- Ronaldinho what babble about O'Grady. Have fire and -- him beat -- Rally and -- about it but the dominated play I think everybody agreed that a -- Alec the report cards people ditch trade aids across the board basically coupled down here there. I think all the edges and people that did match up Patriot ever. That was that was wonderful to. I had a smile you're here and walking after the but I couldn't be happier castles performance about about what we expected I think yeah I think that you know that's the way. Even a little I would feel a little bit better you know. One I I yeah like have jumped out of my hand away. But a thank god Moss dropped it but you know. I think -- eyes were like. You know -- like that happen that the next time that happens it will connect. I think there was a half a second -- and it -- yeah exactly. And even though he never really got out you know right but more thing on that they they spoke about on the sideline and -- told mark they told them you can't overthrow me so -- bar and throw it quick right. And you watched the play the second ma -- of the DB. He's already putting his hand up because you know I've already beaten him right well now I'll run Andre and -- like one and a half second week then the throw and that delay what even though I building was a drop a -- Moscow caught the ball could've but. It would have been much easier had the ball gone up in the air account early I of that did everything we."

[6:46]" He managed the game very weld it they'd they'd they'd put him in great position. To do that with that with the play calling a lot of the -- screens work very well too because we've seen him try to screen a lot this year. Not always with much success but it worked really well in that game."

[7:00]" Yep and I think even the act you know. You don't want to ever you quarterback to act but you try to like go crazy and run around you took the act and went onto the -- play."

[7:10]" Yeah yet he ran a couple of times I think that was only as as a last resort. He say in the pocket pretty much pretty well it took a couple of shots to include in the one where he rolled up. That's -- regrets in her body shot an arrow yeah -- so and that he. Avoid the act yeah they that he Billy and said you know you're talking about. The protection in the in the the the routes weren't all in in perfect inked in the them. You know they hit some where they had runaway rusher is where they knew they might have a runaway rusher to -- rivet. There are other times where they had some issues though it wasn't even like. Everything worked perfectly -- along for the ride he worked with an offense that did some things well -- things not so well and building for the next week I think the most positive thing threat was that the negative plays they made with things like the act. And under throwing -- a little if that's the negative I think we can well it -- the negative. Matt pretty good but it won't now I am and that but so are suited gap protecting human negative plays that cost you games turnovers obviously. And you know he's not making the right read uncle we supposed -- with the ball. Judging on his completion percentage and guess he went Willie's balls to go more often and not -- on 33 of he had seven in completions three of them. Word not his you can't really blame him to -- the -- and one was a drop. So the other four you consistent legitimately yet or completions that were you know either overthrow -- and throws so. I think -- a pretty good job that you looked calm back there didn't look flustered like it was his first start since I like it almost talk and."

[8:44]" Opening the bat well. Complete. The that one I would bet on him you know that was completed an -- open and we have really lucky. Why did but going to take away completion. -- it was a -- play but it. Football knowledge it was a bad the row I'd put on the quarterback well they finally. That. It's not at the top -- well I -- Iraq quarterbacks get a lot of balls at the line of scrimmage and that's on them on the -- it is 12 balls and it -- to the -- playing -- quarterbacks. To me on the quarterback. You know that's when it looked like. You -- That's why we jumped out underwear does. LaMont Jordan. Enough about how he is coming and I might have taken the job away anymore and other runners. On handing the job -- on his way to taking its higher the depth chart well. I'm not saying permanently taking but taking reps away yeah I think there's going to be competition for the lead dog ruled him."

[9:50]" They made they made the transaction this week bringing back. Kyle tackle getting rid of -- Spock and we saw -- leave the game for most of -- when it was most of the second or third quarter and and he came back late in the fourth quarter got one carrying sort of got you know stuff in the back field. And and immediately came out any concern that that was why either transaction is -- he had he had something with a shoulder and I can't."

[10:14]" put him back it was that bad only it was that was the issue yeah. I think he was kept on the sideline to watch a guy -- who was running well and was getting positive yardage hitting the hole doing all the things that they would like what we -- to do Mora no question I think you know look. -- looking Maroney. Feel -- gift why talent wise that he's the best when he back on this but again with like -- and -- with. Gotta start to beating the whole. You know. I don't even look at him very similar type runner rolling the way they hold the ball away dry hair the hair. But Jersey number I think -- might -- a little bigger. Other Maroney -- cherry -- looked a little bigger yeah he has but. But. Again I think there's a different LB upstairs part. Comparing to Chad Jackson running a little different this as a guy but I know -- but it's almost like in neat thing his instincts tell you do one thing and it's not always the right thing which is hit the hole try to get the horse going party indicates where he's thinking too much. And not hitting a hole like I could you look for the big play right I think that problem that's and the problems in college and his his running backs coach talked openly about it when we drafted him. That that was an issue with him looking for the big play and as you get higher in level the big plays are harder to hit right and everybody else has better you have to be patient and they I think. You know our natural gift he had more than any other running back. I think what's gonna get him over the mental approach to. But I think based on the the one game -- things. In that direction I think you could see more money into my little. What you might I'm not saying he's going to Yeltsin in active every week and not a part of the team but. And they're that can be -- his watches the often lower and as you're having. Field position -- looking for positive yardage and avoiding tackle for a loss and those types of things."

[12:19]" and if they all stay healthy that rotational thing is going to be great because you'll have situations where. Maroney or more the style. Is more conducive to where there on the field or. Fractures that they're friends -- exactly that there fresh legs and you can just keep putting a 34. Five even running backs out there. And there you know they're able to pound away at the."

[12:39]" At the D I guys might attack on the yesterday but we're not as good -- often. We will at all surprised about. The way. Eric Mangini coached that game I mean or didn't everything on the re runs right in the middle line in the five you know. Everything -- the -- Well think that he was going to go after cast more -- beat war. Let her in my office I wasn't why wasn't totally surprise that heading -- from right away because. They might have been -- well. We don't really know always -- this guy -- watch regularly what you know I don't help that."

[13:17]" I think they did bring the pressure. Quite a bit anticipating get to him. Occasionally I get credit to the Patriots yeah I knew I agree with Eric and -- I think they waited a little bit pathetic but when it's not the match that's when. Right you know and it halftime I thought they -- Olympic to come locker room and it went boom boom and the pace in the passing game -- first. A lot -- very effectively in the Patriots just at they took it and okay oh. Coach that I don't think there's any doubt about it that's usually the case that Eric. I'm -- got caught a mommy -- you know -- it -- Eric the three runs and it would happen. So line. I don't care what -- five knows it doesn't know about the -- and three runs the goal line that would."

[14:09]" All -- football Brett Bartlett -- run around and make a play at least one of the and that you pitch. Lineup from the three yard line demonstrated at three times growing expect sport now with the public and the putt for you can't do. You can't -- I just not that was terrible coaching in a -- by the way correction on Indy that aren't if that progress dot com. There's a new eighteen. That up there with a question mark on -- I mean we left that back. Opposes the possibility doesn't. I just an option -- I don't know a team like -- what is the case -- Indy are right so we're moving god as they do it I'm sure that. Everything that had to do with the game now in the rearview mirror in their completely focusing on Miami Dolphins coming out. Matt -- in the rest of his squad. What are we got what I -- about the game coming up much push over the media it is."

[15:13]" Well it was kind of kind of funny -- bill started up his press conference today. Thing that this reminded him a lot of the Kansas City Chiefs. Might -- that was what and that their horrible. But. The so I just thought -- was again as -- and yet they have a lot of young players you know that's -- career didn't make. Well and I'm only Gary Shaw. Looked at Eric yet but Florida is well."

[15:43]" Yeah bill definitely. Locked up the Miami Dolphins more so than. Is reality they have struggled mightily. On the Mitt around the ball and throw the ball -- beginning Q I mean Bulls and then they combined 325. Yards. Receiving last week. The Dolphins dismal as a word I've seen I think I used it when I wrote about him I think a lot of people haven't used to be appropriate -- you know they're going through the whole. Rip it down and build a back up and you know bill at their at their bigger and more physical that's probably true. But I'm not sure they're better than one and fifteen team from a year ago. It is what it is. The Ottawa now so but that doesn't. And nurture the Patriots are in position to say that the Dolphins are pushover at this point now because jackass comes out and throw or pick then. You're going to be an -- all but at least do it last -- gather pushover all the things that we say about. The Patriots need to avoid the big play on the Amaechi yeah but he plays on offense take you know the football you don't want to give an inferior. Well. On -- and that magnified -- Because you still dealing with. You know by and watch an unknown. On deep parents that they heat up and easier. Not allow -- quarterback number one -- the ball down field that effectively and number two. That dreadful -- why -- And -- admit it today when he absolutely he sort of took some of the blame off of Ricky Williams -- his two point whatever average at least some of that situationally in running into overloaded front eight man front against the that the Cardinals will. There's a reason the other team is an eight man front -- they have zero era with a -- beating them through the area. So I guess what -- for a red area Rodney Harrison is going to be in the box all week this week. Relation to Rich Hill Tedy in earnest well what. Derek -- in Rio think there was nothing or receivers in -- real. Probably right now is number one and you know he was who and and and -- and oh by the way they don't have Jason Taylor Zach Thomas -- At least providing some sort of park on defense anymore and they -- Matt -- defensive alignment outside linebacker move that Indian hauler into -- person he's a big. He's played defensive tackle for them basically who now play Matt Roth is now playing outside linebackers will be and keep in mind him other than that. Take the weekend off and go party."

[18:12]" Well -- want to remind people. Why didn't mother -- one Tom Brady and that what he's doing around team right now but I do want to remind people that Saturday. Play is the induction while the Patriots. At the -- replaced plus. The adoption and -- paid in that -- RD interrupted. But -- you can use incredible football but it is open to the public it's 3 o'clock. Come the -- replaced park anywhere. And parking rate. And read the public commodity alcoholism help appealed Monday by. And outdoor and in. All the as well you'll. It will be seen. On -- yeah so it'll be a good event. And what you Darko have CBS did Aaron. -- drop it replaced by something open and money. I that he take on deck and walk around with a right that this. Saturday o'clock here Patriot place ever. It is almost choked on sausage. With that --"

[19:23]" Okay yeah."

[19:25]" I'd normally the house. Right out of LA's on the phone John how you do and I'm not sure like to think it really need help it was yeah okay that they don't know."

[19:38]" I love football and say that whatever no matter what might say yesterday he it is very good job posting. The --"

[19:45]" Well we have one from -- okay."

[19:48]" It. Could be here most everybody back I wanted to work. Mention if you talk about the fact that not that many people commented on it walked in the Bruschi the opposite. But you would -- good enough to admit that -- looked looked sharp I was gonna say that Bruschi looked okay."

[20:07]" He did okay he did have an honest -- that one play where he -- in and I batted the ball away in the past all of that yeah when Barry hit our. They got up and made that tackle downfield well after about them. Well he's also I think been pushed into a more resort not reserve role is starting -- situation oral situational role that is better suited to his skills at this point in his career. And he caught the -- the passing situations he's not getting spread out maybe quite thin. And he has lost the -- he doesn't get in as many open field situations that might take advantage and take advantage of his diminishing skills."

[20:46]" I couldn't get talked about the fact that there's we we were inactive."

[20:51]" They have a good. I'm surprised. I am yeah I was surprised that we wanted it and start not surprised they're more so in Brazil when he -- Arm don't have an answer -- just yet while apparently if you start in the summer in training camp and practice. Unless you started the previous year it's not a good sign could -- outs and Fernando Bryant was cut. And Terrence Wheatley is an even active and those with a two guys are taking wrap up -- and it will height -- our but he was that he is active yeah. And playing special team."

[21:23]" Our special -- or -- You know he played an actual yeah -- are my specialty I guess I look at -- more as a return abilities we'll -- to -- you know. Conference things. But -- you ever heard or noticed anything they make you think Wheatley and out certain thing now that it affected the fact that."

[21:43]" I think that the guys the other corners are better at the point. Is we could quickly his entire life and he played pretty well in camp. I mean he got burnt by Moss a little bit in the first -- And exactly who doesn't well insecure rookie but he started making plays against I don't think I -- but -- wasn't there though it's up. In the little a little but most of that week. Belichick announced we know he's that we get our. -- O'Neal was -- who came in he might be. That after that he standard -- who now that I don't know -- timing. And a and a that might be the most important one because when he wasn't there and all those -- that we was getting navy he wouldn't. And I will say we did predict we had it wrong because some of the guys at the top didn't even make the team but we did today. Guys that didn't win that starting job. Might have trouble. Playing because they were going to look down below Brandon meriwether and some of the guys versatility we kind of off. I don't think we -- that it -- dramatic one guy was cut as an active but it was kind of obvious if you were starting and Deltha O'Neal was a late addition to the -- right that you weren't early in the mix or reserve action package work either. We got the wrong guys but it ended up being inaccurate because Bryant and Webster along. The FW right again I thought Bryant would be here by. I'm all I thought he would be you know I'm just surprised at their second round pick. Didn't really play at all in week one and was inactive -- Brandon Meriweather didn't play for a long time here you know when he first round pick activate -- know but it -- different -- different situation and he's a lower -- a lower pick by around and remember when he went from. Guys like -- eighty should have been cut in training camp to being a regular defensive contributor -- so let's not just right we after all now writing him off it's just. I just we expect him to that -- I'd be more contributor to early -- it's hard to learn on the fly yeah they'll O'Neal was one of the guys were predicting was going to. Potentially start from from -- ago you were pure rock. Tricked out. I don't know if they change in training camp where are you look at the maternal."

[24:01]" Our what you'd -- they'll feel the game but the first game a lot and overrated it's for for a little bit. But I thought he looked pretty."

[24:10]" Well he's gonna get apart quarterback but you know it's hard to judge what was -- what -- what what you what did you think was overrated in the first game out of curiosity."

[24:22]" I -- especially the slate and I didn't think -- he was in great position right right girl. And but what I'll be -- it I. Was."

[24:38]" We have actually good that this was in front of the guy it was a backpack. And I think that could have been a lack the ball had been a more target. Like. The yeah I don't know I take it to -- that's a play on especially. On the last play of the game like that I love -- no one but you know like -- 90% of the calls I'm. And it he grabbed his -- before the ball got I mean he. I'd like an up and oracle."

[25:06]" Do get beat the Colts game at the end not the end but equivocal or come -- two consecutive. Non calls aren't fully tack interference and not just trying to get paid millions."

[25:17]" Not. Horrible. Well that -- from what I understand it accurately getting a lot I was going to ask bill that -- but I didn't even ask him anything about that on Monday or Tuesday you know he would he would. While I was one of what about him ask him not a book that specific play but at the -- amicable bridges played a built -- right and what his reaction. What what. I don't like John I totally agree with you I totally agree that was uncalled for right -- alternative to. But I didn't he didn't think would be -- across and getting up in front of the microphone. Is going to change anything. That you know he was crying. You know do like he should have acknowledged that the ref came in apologized and that way to go to Spain and team not mine told me he missed it. We have the more often and we had to make the play and we -- it now I like pick I'd -- and and it it while at the same time getting the message out there that even the -- acknowledge they just caught that game."

[26:20]" Now that situation as constantly being a man about it exact and and nor did being LaDainian."
