[1:00]" Good afternoon. I had the hall I'm Bryan Morry Andre Tippett will be with a momentarily. As we go arrival as we do each and every Tuesday at 4 o'clock on Patriots dot com radio com. Good week good first week over at the pick a hall at Patriot play presented irate over 3300 people. Came in the building last week the feedback has been unbelievable. Hope you wore one of those are 300. Makes very calm down ES. And give us your feedback. I think that's the big thing I try to go through the building and at of people feedback I think that when you. That on way to get better we want our -- come through. And tell what they like and more importantly tell that they don't like. And that Powell continued to improve the hall at Patriot place present by Raytheon and make it ability that fans. Can and will be proud of as I think more that have come through now are of course I could have. A friend of mine who tech -- me. During the Miami Dolphins game. Which unfortunately. I did not put an exclamation point. On the end of Hall of Fame weekend but tech and I meet during the game and said it's a good thing the hall is now open that we can remember we were good football. I proceeded to reply to him and on the he was the -- of the Patriots and as that end medium tickled but. I know most fans are not like he is -- we expect him mostly down at the hall again I think you gotta love it. Had great feedback on that your film which is I think one of the highlight. All of the of the hall -- fifteen minute film detailing. Not just. I'm in Patriots history and all the near miss culminating. With the championship in 2001. But all of connecting the fan and the region to the football team. And then. It in writing film I think that kind of thing that brings chills. The feedback been great with had fans applauding in the theater at a conclusion. And then there are -- number other. Things that and have have really enjoyed. That type green in the technology I think that. I think people are fascinated by the -- out we'd love going down there on the second level kicking field goals. From 45 yards and two point three yards. The game tying game winning kicks. In noble. Back in 2002. The interactive they been very popular as well though. It is bad and I think people have had a lot of fun down there and organic having been down. Come down -- it might -- price ten dollars for adults. Seven dollars seniors and -- 95 dollars for kids if you under five is free and you know it it it is a great. Value. I think for your money. And I can it come on down. And he has broken ten to five right now during the week and then on Saturday tend to have an on and I am Bryan Morry. It we are in I -- hall awaiting Andre Tippett arrival. And how tough game against Miami coming off a bye week now the picture we'll go to Africa go. And we had a -- on a little bit about the bye week. Last week show he did experience -- many of them. As a player who retired in 1994. But. I think the players clearly lot of the Patriots probably needed it. As badly as anybody despite the fact that it's only -- war of the -- only for the season. Given what happened and we -- with the law Tom Brady I think adding. On the by having the bye week this time when when you really trying to transition at quarterback who thrown into the fire. Is. Navy is very helpful at this point and looking at the way and act capsules played I think he has struggled at times moved the football team and certainly put points on the board. As we mention that John rook and Eric. You know this prolific offense last year and I simply taking away a quarterback. You expected. All much of the author of -- fact that the way defenses play you you've affected the way the play that you can call. Com you know all the way that they doing going to cover it. The way they can -- and the running game you know I think when he had no. You going to be more could Everett -- it allows and that the and he differently winning all you know maybe not going to throw the ball to their box on the field. It allows them to defend you differently the Patriots are in transition. For a lot of people say."

[5:53]" Well going to find out what Bill Belichick made of."

[5:56]" I laugh at that even a valid I laugh at I think it hurt. I don't think Bill Belichick broken down here and you that he won Super Bowl I'm self Norwood Tom Brady."

[6:08]" The Patriots -- fortunate enough to have a one of the greatest coach of all time and one of the greatest quarterback of all time. And Bill Belichick. People in the forget 2001. When he took what Ron wolf what's the Packers GM. Back at the time. He called a waiver wire team and went to a Super Bowl title now Tom Brady obvious what the quarterback of that team."

[6:30]" But that was not Tom Brady that we see now it was much close to the -- cat that we now now. I'm not going to -- and make -- ridiculous comparison between Matt Cassel and Tom Brady LB on there. To both guys. But let's not remember let's not forget rather that. Back in."

[6:50]" 2001. Tom Brady was not that Tom Brady that we see today he was much more could there but it. Quarterback he was the guy that they accused of just -- in dunking and throwing horizontal pass but he made the games well. He showed great leadership and what he showed was inability of the."

[7:11]" Here at his best in the clock. We haven't seen that at all or perform that way."

[7:18]" In those situations. You know he started two games."

[7:22]" He he's one and one daughter and one can regain Tom Brady went out so early. So you had. Cassell and after that. I beat Brett Favre and the jet."

[7:33]" And then struggled against Miami obviously ironically enough Tom Brady in his second start which was in Miami. All played miserably. And they blow out of the Dolphins although -- a little bit different Patriots team back then. And a little bit different Dolphin team back and so again I want to make them not trying to compare that to. But I think that when you look at situation. That that that -- is coming to. With a much more with the car has a lot more pressure on him now. That being in and be productive. We go back to of one Tom Brady came on to a team that you want to the field when it was only do."

[8:12]" On coming off of five and eleven season. Expectations were virtually nil. And he was not expected comedians. And could see some sort of dominant that it and in place. On Matt Cassel and completely different situation. Having not started a game high school."

[8:31]" And being thrown into being thrust into the starting job I've seen -- went eighteen and analyze -- eighteen and one."

[8:39]" And court I -- in my point oh it's a tough situation expectations very different the pressure is very different and we're going to almanac -- I think the bye week as I mentioned."

[8:53]" Top Cubs are very good time to give him a couple weeks -- as the daughter. I actually last week with no gain to prepare for this week they will be working to go last week luxury had a chance to work a lot of different things. Having one key is going to be. Being able to throw the ball down the field and make big plays a rainy mosque and crossed the loss to make some plays. I think -- a little bit of frustration in the Miami game from rainy -- And we didn't last year adding that a brush he was -- with currently before he arrived here in New England. But playing with Tom Brady we never witnessed anything like that you -- play in the Miami game where he kind of pulled his arms down a ball that. Then could've been at -- because. Why he did do that. It was kind of -- on -- but that being said he was going to get -- on the plane and I think. He can get easily frustrated by situationally. He -- that in the period quarterback and therefore is able to. Performed the way he wants to perform and be in situations that he want to be. I'll be very tough for him to handle we on Oakland. Much more -- an obvious that we did in in -- when he was that the Vikings. And I think there's going to be times when Matt Cassel is going to have to -- trust Randy Moss can make up like. Certainly Daunte Culpepper in Minnesota. Did that money when he threw the ball and let Moscow getting. Tom Brady did a couple times last year. Heck in the Miami game down in Miami last year he Kubel and only Randy Moss was essentially double covered and loss came down -- There are times when he's going to have to let his guys make plays for him."

[10:44]" And not like they're going."

[10:46]" That the problem I think we're seeing with the offense and the stagnation of the off to a certain degree granted again it's only event I haven't scored twenty point. Inning game just yet after being. The highest scoring team in NFL history last year is that. Because of the inexperience Matt Cassel he's with right now. It's things like not to making your reads and being on the same page is -- but it. I can't -- where -- coming from identifying. Blitz situation. And being able to -- communicate with what you were."

[11:23]" I'm breaking off -- and being on the same page with them in those situations. That tough thing. I've heard a lot of people talk about the lack of protection. That -- Cassel is -- the last couple weeks."

[11:37]" And I think that a lot of that a product. He not maybe being able to identify. What the defense is showing as easily as Tom Brady guys with. You know -- many years of experience under his belt."

[11:51]" And also being able to then I just pass protection. So that he's not taking a hit that he does have time it back there."

[12:00]" I think that is that a major strength. Of Tom Brady. Tell."

[12:06]" Lot of things going on what that. When Andre comes down able getting them that would Andre. And thing happening over at the hall at Patriot place presented by rate -- after all the in -- all."

[12:17]" Without Andre Tippett and Bryan Morry although on Andre Tippett right now."

[12:23]" 88. Totally Patriots."

[12:26]" Over -- halt today for the first time -- we're going to do each and every Tuesday at the hall. Totally Patriots being the show produced by the crap board. Kraft sports productions. Are geared toward teenagers film -- alive. High school studio audience. Any Patriot player on -- to happen so it's of the Shell hit it over at the hall. And the -- for the Art Shell was not rather than head coach Bill Belichick. Wait I was treat for the kid. At ba in English high school that made it to the audience that Shell and a treat for the for the guess alcohol."
