Please any -- would view this -- of course. Single malt and live it's -- that it brings us they've been guiding blend."

[0:38]" And Andy and Andy who minister and I think it is one party and -- gonna say it's sox' world you know leave him look at the heart and all the parties all the bars they also spent at night all innocent girl who's looking around the room it -- somebody else is more important to be talking. And it's like I'm supposed to be all happy if he's wearing a backpack and be -- you -- have. Images nasty -- who that would mean that is surrounded by budget -- run in -- One of those and Greg -- you know -- now anyway."

[1:11]" You want to talk to me and I don't want to be the kind PG thirteen and -- really little -- Dixon. She couldn't believe it or move you know the guy the national weather or not you can choose from if you're abandoning your bat your best."

[1:28]" F and G Mike Ramsey and money you know Alex you're a big winner and -- a simple question and pointless who's the big winner tonight. Mike you might Winger Mike anyway and you never know who else might dump by PFW in progress part of the Patriots football network."

[1:48]" I think boy you're brought up. We're not dad and I think that is about stopping it."

[1:57]" I'd welcome PFW in progress its bread and anti today. The rest of the guys that are out on the west co hall might -- in Eric you know will they be calling in we know him. Yeah yeah they're gonna call and at some point IE yeah."

[2:15]" Paulson email if you calling it some points I think you'll -- alternate little update. Talk about what's going on out there they had down -- show media availability yesterday at eleven on the conference call today. I'm players not doing much arm they'll expect the practice field on Wednesday but yep all checked and let -- know obviously you and I can get a little short preview based on our."

[2:36]" Short stay there now itself while they wait for the Patriots on Sunday I think it was a huge confidence blew it all around the Patriot. Played pretty well I think they had a slow start but once they made the adjustments they -- they completely dominated that game. The court didn't even reflect really the dominant they had I agree and oh I think it was a good win heading into the game against San Diego you know. I know the Cardinals get criticized -- week on the east coast the more I think about it though -- makes an obvious especially the way I felt yesterday and today yeah."

[3:09]" That's what bill that was you know I have about a post game he had the biggest part is the next 48 hours from the game was. Getting right into the work week of breaking down the film project team you know making the adjustment meeting and they getting going on the game plan and being able to do all that. Under normal -- can -- like -- right right. On because I don't know about you but I felt pretty crappy yesterday when I was going round and today I felt pretty crap I was sick all weekend right so. But I mean. You've eliminated any Q there the hang over the jetlag. And I think one of the things we forget about is not just the travel and all that could have all the guys go home sleep in the day whatever. They're human being so like -- yesterday I got home I had Jackson running around. You know these guys have kids they have wives -- you can't just automatically go home and get eight hours in the middle of the day because there's other stuff going on -- human being and even if you do. Then -- in Europe at midnight because you're you're not tired anymore so. I don't see any down -- you eliminated any extra we are tearing your body and all that. And with about four in this day and age would with a laptop technology in the video and everything right you know this thing anything that you don't lose anything. I think it's it's great and I think you know it'll be good for them and out of the off to a good start and you know with the Chargers losing. Chart are the team now we think they are I mean I picked the Chargers because I just think. Back to back road games west coast is top I think the Chargers have talent can hit big plays things of that nature but. I have a lot better feeling now and I would have last week because you're right they got back on track against the niners."

[4:45]" And Chargers aren't the charge right. Well talk about that Patriots game web radio a Patriots dot com email or web radio -- Phone number 5 -- 5437. Torre went. It before we get into that we got the numbers from September. Online radio wow. Wow big -- now. We all all the listeners big number thank you. Know cricket and what it tells us cricket are dead goalless and I don't know we have. Hundred. -- because when we do we do hear from. You know the same people Greg. A lot -- Craig. Speaker's -- You know I by Six Feet Under. Is Craig. You know like that Paul McCartney thing remember you -- that I called I'll talk about it that would the abbey road album you know these rumors that Paul was dead and played that. Album backward -- actually at Paul. But I think. I think we -- started Internet rumor that Craig might be dead and the fact you know on the that. It. -- why -- but we we. There are thousands and it literally tens out of people listening to these shows every day and it's great. I think it's awesome that. Were. -- people. Thing you know they might -- and that they taking advantage because we are not the easiest thing I mean you can get your car -- on the radio you have to be new car but. The -- listening to the show. Take some depth of -- rhetoric to log on their computer go through the hassle or downloading the podcast listening at them all the time there's there's an activity involved from the listeners and I give them credit -- that watched that actually and I might be a little premature with one but we're going to have a we have a new deal with the company I Omega. It was a new product that'll be launched. Probably a week or two in the pro shop one of those external hard drive. But got a Patriot logo on it and everything. And -- fairly cheap. It's I think it'd be a good Christmas present for people who. You know you know -- download a lot of constant -- com you can now story on the hard. -- All W -- right there and oh. It's beginning to feel a lot like Chris Smith at a -- to a ideal until that doesn't plug in your iPod but plug in your computer. Download Europe about I would take it off your computer just have to put it back on your door every thing and you computer. Can't -- a little hard drive either if you can easily. You know hundred. I effort I'm sure they'll -- a fine job trying to I'll give you spoke to Carroll junior their potential sponsor but it's a good thing. -- the technology is great I think those things in general are great but not sure our show is the best but overall. Story. Or huge thing because more more vote without downloading movies downloading radio shows whatever. -- place. When you know laptop. Every other year not up right but. You know now you've got all important. Laptop write. And talk about the DB. -- Albert let's let's get back yeah I digress web radio pictures dot com. Oh -- that -- but I think eventually you know they'd they'd really had -- everything. -- wanted to. Play in the third quarter."

[8:38]" Yet they -- the time of possession with 39 and changed the twenty minutes basically on sisco went two and a half quarters where it was three -- arena it was getting kicked off the field. I'm offensively the Patriots were converting on third down the same time with a -- couldn't though it just all came together in the defensive players. Credited the offense with with helping them to settle in because they were struggling a little in the for the first part and they had some issues for a couple sessions there he trailing 147. On the had that one terrible play. On to -- on the left side where there I don't buy it coverage -- you know at did you hear bill after the game joked around I estimate that you make adjustments after those plays or did you settle -- defensively. -- said there I was that it it. I forgot how great it would be just that asked our guys actually cover them and they post that was an adjustment. -- shot there but. After that to -- in guys like Teddy Bruschi are saying. You know is fun to hang out on the sideline drink Gatorade. On it was a really easy day for the defensive players does not only. But not a lot of snaps for the defense but they were rotating at all three levels you had guys like. Mike Wright and Jarvis Green Gary -- were all playing so. You know Richard Moore said afterwards I count the -- I I actually played on my to him you know -- things I realize for the 49ers and you know we don't get them a lot. But the number of weapons that JT well would have is very limited right you have an old guy and Isaac Bruce who hurt them had a couple plays. Frank Gore is obviously very good the only guy carried the ball right and he ran I think he had. Forty yards in the first half and nothing from their you know like another. Fifteen yards total because in not only became one dimensional but they were stopping him right on that it is because -- yards and then after that right. And they don't they don't you know earning Davis is a OB a playmaker he he should be to keep that off because he's a ridiculously gifted player. He just he doesn't putter and get on it a lot like Benoit I was gonna say they are part of why you guys that one play is wide open in the Latin record and didn't even look at the ball so and he. Had issues he he column last week complaining gimme the damn ball and well you catch -- they -- get a few -- terrible -- and that's part of the reason they don't have weapons -- drafted some guys -- guys -- I -- horrible -- when he is non -- shut him -- and beyond that their offensive -- not that -- at -- according -- bill and -- them they weren't that -- and they have -- but -- chased -- exactly the only -- with his -- they -- in the -- all -- and that's what a -- Brett -- that he can scramble and run around but he said I know he's -- I'm tired because -- him all -- Thomas -- wanted to -- the -- that right. But yeah I agree review what you had to start off more dominant than the than the nine points which show com -- Aside from a couple mistakes and even the turnovers. I liked because they were tending -- the ball down field -- hit the -- six yard touchdown. I'm the first one before that. They were going from a deep down the field even he can't tell by where ticked off because -- got hit and it and it up -- Takeo Spikes an option on and then the other pick. I think could've been another long touchdown right he had gotten 45 more yards out of a -- yeah because it was the same thing double coverage. And I think Moss would let it had he been able to go after the ball it just it was a little under throw the when. Went Cassell hit mark in the cooler that way. I -- didn't re didn't feel like. All the pictures and kind of -- early yeah okay we can do that on a lot of levels because not just the production right then and there but. Getting -- involved in -- happy bomb that may be building a little confidence with money you know there's a lot of dynamic involved with that one -- certainly."

[12:31]" That was well kinda pass as he could ever could. The ball reached and just -- those guys -- they. Really the time that they had to recover it was minimized because the timing of the -- was right on and they never broke stride and the best part was you wasn't it wasn't. You know bus that coverage they were two guys there one of them Nate Clement at an all pro tight corner so. You know they're competing and again high level of defense of competition so. It only bill comp and I I mean. I don't think I've. You know I don't really -- doesn't always look like he's running ask but he can kind of collider. But it was hard and play I have seen him really run that are. You know in a long -- because. That's what drives the -- yeah all right it was going after you know there's even if he wanted to. Even if he -- ladies and Oakland I think pat like that he would still kept because instincts take over he's a natural playmaker to go get the ball. That's -- I think. He's not a -- used to be but he is when he needs to I think that other one had been you know or five yards deeper he pry Wes -- the guys and caught. On the other hand I know more and around anymore on Nomar why do why he can't not that kind of -- right and to be quick runner not quick run plus adding -- and I don't want him taking anymore hit yeah I don't know why I don't want your boy running mean I don't really median around Welker and yeah. Eight yards at times. I don't -- to bark at running it. But I don't want to ask him okay I don't want -- Randy Moss running endurance and I agree I don't -- I yeah I joked appalled in the game wondered if fans were calling plays and remember that was the play call. In the pre season game mosques and around in the first -- game again. Whoever won and that was a band called charity. And I don't I don't. Doubt that the risk there are greater than any potential -- he's not going to help run any people from -- like that you know -- doesn't have the the -- to make the -- he -- right and he ends up cutting it back against the grain which would end around as the worst thing as a running back into the and the latest rap -- You know on the Serengeti plain. When they really are running their -- but from that aren't there and what guts -- babbling about. Serengeti plain apology from on the travel. Anyway oh. That was that was good depth that that my -- and Hendry going that was a thing of beauty it was really well now. I think that overall the running game in the -- like it pretty well. A twinkle toes you know I think I that I don't like five that I don't care who's back there. That's the major concern right now with -- you'll in his development is. It seems like any time his first option is sort of shut down or protection breaks down quickly. He tucks the ball and just. India deer in headlights -- look he's got to get better at that and a lot of there was a lot of those on third down passing downs they were very good on third down red around 50%. They on the field. But when they didn't yet I want to say three of or like five yard sack in the situation he heat when when -- break down he goes left to right. But he doesn't step up that well he hasn't really kind of alert went to step out seem to do is one step left -- bright one step up like he doesn't know what -- loses his head and I had a lot of that is experience that I agree you know as he. You know what protection is like from his keen he'll he'll learn you know those movements. On a quarterback evidence to actually he's going to have to learn that. That's something that and even if he had it instinctual heat he would -- lost it over the last nine years on and doing nothing so you -- You gotta develop I think that can -- hit -- bad right now but it can only improve -- every pressure every time now. Maroney. Michael I'm losing patience hall of losing I think you make a began because LaMont Jordan was banged up -- might be limited for a week -- here although bill did say yesterday looks like a quick healer hasn't looked major bomb. But this happen if you remember was at the opener were Jordan had a good game. Maroney didn't -- and I was thinking now Jordan's going to cut into these and he was banged up had to put -- right but. Yeah I'm left each he has what he is at this point and that's not a consistent and the ball carrier. You know I actually miss a play where they that he ran out of bounds that hitting the first down marker yes he did yeah he went a little I -- them but there was some other plays where clearly -- Guard straight ahead he is or he would get three -- yard you know and if he did that what he doesn't understand. Is it does that his natural ability will turn 10% of though in 2203040. Yard run because he's. Powerful he's fast he's quick he has all that ability right but he eliminating the big play by looking for the right plus eliminating powerful one because when you're -- have -- there was one where he get tackled like a media four yard loss where the guy barely touched him but because he was Ian -- hopping around he just went down like a twig and -- nothing that Aaron. I just think it's time -- if there help the it's Mora and Jordan to alternate between those guys is only only -- go around. I want them to be productive ones LaMont Jordan -- there was one carry on Sunday -- he got hit would have been like a four yard gain. And -- it was a nine yard gain because he moved the pie I never stops moving forward he's a powerful legs and more that same thing. The most gifted guy in the world but he hit the hole fast and takes what's -- a lot of times it ends up as a six yard run I don't know what they do with this guy I mean clearly I think he's got more talent. You know he's definitely more speed in -- much -- the other guy Chad Jackson had not been a lot of these receivers but it always were right I don't know what they do it in like it may -- It's rare that you guys aren't out for three years as a running back. And then be able you know change the way he nonexistent I'm very very discouraged."

[18:45]" What about Paul. Paul's running back. Now balls Morgan -- all of -- well. Check out. Well -- I got by Dylan he could be cranky and I don't. Know what's happening over there having fun."

[19:04]" It's been a little quiet because we have really -- a -- to do yet we have a conference call yesterday with bill obviously and then some players spoke. Today bill's gonna talk again. In a boat. Couple dollars and tomorrow I guess we'll go over the San Jose state and get the practice and do all that fun stuff."

[19:23]" Okay. So that you guys went to the love that last weekend is that right I don't."

[19:29]" I I did not to attend a well past however some of the members of the crap sports productions group did believe Leo went all the he got in this the end of the some love and."

[19:39]" They had against Sampras called love that and it was just people acting weird in. I don't know what were they doing what what we would love lubricants. -- as."

[19:53]" That was not yet pick and that was just go to -- okay we might try to do any doubt which that's. Okay. What's going on back there when we're talking about the game. Including what. What you're so upset about that I get on the on you yeah very discouraged you know especially."

[20:11]" We talked about the positives of the game a -- you know how we thought that. What that's going to. Appeal a what went deep -- that settled in it was a lot more dominant that the score actually. Indicated. We were very happy about the mark play that that was huge sigh of relief for everybody that play happen. And you know -- we think that the negatives that he had a definitely correct the -- with time and experience you know mainly pocket a pocket awareness and means that type of thing but. I have to say -- losing patience with -- early."

[20:47]" Well as centimeters pointed. Out. You didn't value -- relations currency didn't run the ball well I thought he just in yesterday I don't know how much you guys stated I actually got into the world. Yesterday about bill without specifically about Maroney. And if he thought that he was getting what he thought it should be getting out of Maroney at this stage in his career. And was like that one sentence answer that we have you know we're happy with lines and he's been a good back for us and we'll continue to be that's always said in generally that. -- out of the words were positive but you know how bill mentions questions usually goes into some depth and detail even if he's not telling you a whole lot I thought that. The short you know abruptly answered kind of told me that he's not all that pleased with with."

[21:31]" On I agree with Maroney okay I hear IKE you know that. I read the transcript spread in the first thing I thought up was that's as close to build I'll check during a player under the bus and forget yes."

[21:42]" That's that's it desperately we looked at each other Mike Eric and I well you know on the conference call to gather. And we all looked at each other and just went wow -- that was that was that was kind of short."

[21:52]" If -- if and Amman Jordan injury is you know I know I read the transcript bill kind of downplayed and that it looks like he's a quick healer. If that -- I was -- so if that injury is minor. I think you're seeing the beginning of the end of Laurence Maroney as via lead ball carrier Horry focal point of the offense you're doing and I can't I can't tell you how disappointing that is because -- definitely the potential with this guy -- were used to run -- Al."

[22:17]" Yeah he he takes a long time to get to the line and at times I think about it that's a detriment trouble whereas. But Morrissey and Jordan. You know they'd get through the wine and and they decide the is -- going to try to make a bit like. Not so so the plate that gets shut down for them usually end up being three or four yard gains. Whereas you know Maroney there are you know no games no one -- two yard gains and I think that the big difference would that. You know botox a lot of -- angels' second down I don't think Maroney. Consistently put them in the second down to --"

[22:49]" And that's had a bigger issue. With the team that the Patriots are under -- you don't have Tom Brady to fall back -- when it's. 39 consecutive drives that he he converts those unique to have to -- a working in the most manageable situations possible. And I don't think Laurence Maroney is good that are consistent they."

[23:07]" And it and I agree with you guys about Cassell -- and he did make some mistakes on Sunday and you know you know under -- on another attempt that would you know. May have been a touchdown a fumbled snap and and obviously the five -- but. When you take some chances and you ask him to do some some different things I think that you can look at it and say well he made some mistakes but. You also made some plays and I think that the -- the states I thought he made some big throws. That nets used to didn't necessarily. You know get the attention that quick slant -- nine that he was just talking about. Wonder Welker. That 3020 late in the game went up six points thirteen yard pass to Gaffney to setup gets dusty flat steel vote what became aware that that was a really big throw and I think you know the sites -- so I think the positive on Sunday even though we did make some."

[23:57]" That's a good thing -- replace them what you want them to. Didn't want them. Up until we can do you insist on -- all words and -- count points. Anyway I'm I just want to say real quickly falling the last point Tedy Bruschi actually brought that up from when I was talking to post game about. The thing that impressed him most from Cassell was not only that they converted on third downs but he called them quote true conversions where. He had to fit a path in that they in the air to Welker or to a Daphne on -- and cut and it had to be a good throw and he made those throws and all the league. Bruschi had a lot of time to watch those because the defense played much and and he that was the most impressive thing for him and now I think you're accurate you know Cassel took a positive step forward. If we can just cut out those. Deer in -- that he took time."

[24:43]" So all in agreement that it was a you know really strong performance by the team and an overall you know forty to twenty time possession everything. But -- you brought up once Maroney as a negative and I'm wondering in and I don't know this to be to be certain but we were talking and the during the game about how much almost sub packages we used. And Gary Gary was out there a lot and you know -- was coming out now bill talked about yesterday. On post those packages -- a large part he'd win related specific to sit and sisco and and I believe them because I -- that's that's we thought he began playing coach but. I'm wondering what Mayo specifically that -- thing that we saw in the locker room had anything to do with maybe -- snaps not being it's. You know what type they normally not."

[25:27]" I my guess is yes but not a terrible way -- yeah probably just monitoring it. That that was impression I got that. This was a chance to monitor it maybe you know Gary -- is probably more athletic than Jerod Mayo. Tom you know ran a faster forty time did better come -- in the bulk of the running drills. So my guess is the thought process was you know the Mike Martz offense in sub packages I'd rather have the more athletic guy out there. And a benefit of that is. Less wear and tear less banging for Mayo early in the season when you're going to need him in some. Probably more physical type games down the road so you know they have confidence in -- why not do it in this game in this situation where probably even benefits."

[26:08]" That if you're probably right and not like I said I definitely. I know that bill is is being forthright when he talks about things that are specific per game plan to pitch even do that time and time again it was no reason to. I think this was any different but I just was wondering what. But the cat that we saw NATO's wrist. And -- last week maybe you know to lent -- hand in hand."

[26:32]" I don't know about getting back to Maroney to question the Belichick was do you think you're getting everything you should be getting from Laurence Maroney at this stage of his career. Telecheck I think Laurence has done a good job for us he's a good -- he played well and I think you will continue to play well. That was his answer."
