Play from 2:09[2:09]" Watching our game and he's my -- it was. I don't expect he defeated. Perhaps the craziest element on the -- side is starting quarterbacking. All of it. Former first overall pick Alex Smith -- team that went on IR this season and O'Sullivan. Journeyman who actually spent one month on the practice watched in 2006. Has -- over the -- If he'd been better than expected he's only thrown four touchdown passes but O'Sullivan had presided over 230 point outputs. Did you run he can move get out pocket. That's good pocket awareness. You may call it sort interviews with the girls he's got a lot lot of weapons for a ball around so. Definitely yeah we have to -- attention too about allowing him scramble. The catalyst of the big plays like Martin went authenticate the league's fourth leading rusher francoeur bush scored a touchdown if he gives every fourth game so far. But if there's one player who seemed to be emerging. As the -- came Francisco future it's on the other side of the ball middle linebacker Patrick Willis last season defensive rookie year and a Pro Bowl. Willis returned -- Matt Hasselbeck interception 86 yards for a score three weeks ago. So he's professors. You know obviously it's hard to pair -- second your players to. You know maybe some good -- here. If you let him and feels likes to -- and in the middle. Got a few guys silent sideline does not missed tackles you beavers more so. He's definitely ahead of the curve for a second -- whether he's ever. The majority of the Snyder's team from the head coach to the offensive start to keep it starts he's doing for the Patriots both feet and keep west opponents only every four years. The -- may not know them well but they know they'll have their hands. Have you tonight. -- his opponent. Takes him twice here. I'm just not really can't it would that's basically. It's still.

Play from 5:13[5:13]" There -- teams are really. Well like down distances that big of a thing for them you know that's third at 1230 -- they hit twenty yard in -- they're going to pick it up for girls a look at them and distances so. I don't think third tennis that. Just the way our offense constantly -- intense. You know I think hamstrings what -- didn't. I don't think they probably were too much and it's consistently Mike's done -- test. You know he might get a couple times -- They're going to get you few -- to. It's -- strong guy it's hard to bring down breaks a lot of tackles. Breaks tackles -- quickness but also breaks and -- lower body strength front room. Augusta wrapped multi as the special for now. And those fronts of him so he's got a blood different tools but an object into a lot of things run outside run -- to -- gonna burst. -- strong touches the ball well. Yeah they're they're taken off the field less and less and Nazi lines. She's the player. Is that gotta match against don't think there's. Freakish from any tight ends that are faster than him could be a couple of as fast -- think it's better position. Any place that place best. -- you still first guy in line in the drills and you know very. Supportive and -- always talk quarterbacks and receivers. What happened on that player -- you know how to get ready for the next one formation thing you know we do a lot of that personnel groups that. There is always -- they bit ahead of the count. You know for -- I think that just shows -- their respect that the cast from his teammates. And and you know we have our captain's meetings every week -- so you know obviously you participate in those actions last year. It's I think there's of nebulous -- carried over there but. A dishonest they'd today cases meetings doesn't walk throughs to practice. Films after practice that is you know -- I'll think that is leadership last year was. Every bit as good as it was this year. And his recognition as a captain I think probably speaks to."
