Play from 0:55[0:55]" That -- that the lower down we are obviously you. From California the first in the lengthy history. But if you look down radio show that we are not yeah. Palatial studios. In Gillette Stadium come here from the secret headquarters for the weekend that you're near the in the Bay Area the Patriots. Staying out west in between games against the San Francisco 49ers in the San Diego Chargers. And got you're oh we yeah. What it away -- hatred there is a little bit of if you load down as well let you know what when the Patriots moved their operation out west for the week what it week. At a UW guys are our order split squad. Well you know yet W got Coleman in Foxborough will be the UW out here in the Bay Area. From you don't show dog is. One to me an operation that would at least in the war and not that. Back to fox brought of China middle of the what -- get a special treat completely out cheap in Newport and walker. It will take a look at my roster what would much. Responsible itself to help the roster in taking a lap at them a little bit. Take on some in the mood and a and that fine art is still. Because we're recording has a little bit earlier than normal pie as it was into the certainly -- your -- unfortunately won't get your emails. During that show because we're recording a little bit earlier or we wouldn't hurt you'd -- in your email at every New York Patriots dot com you can sentiment. All throughout the week if you have questions. That you want having -- on the show we think you start who'd think you should sit. Some. Questions to ask about your walker -- trade offer to trade your. Interest did not were not going to -- expert here I'd -- all of yeah I guess that middle of the court -- five week at. If you write it if you want really just about batting around like you. And find -- everyone -- That -- And we -- get -- radio a secret dot com news the way to go. If you want send an email. We hope realistic divisional to a one email that would get through a lot. Leader during the show but as we kick the opposite that the -- at at the warmer. From -- we're entering week six somewhere else late. The third -- a bye week. And I was caught some issues as far as who started what is that I thought that by. Problems as well. Will put them on the yeah storyline that during the week the depth -- some quarterback issues rattled me to have an impact. -- at the QBs from hour week five who worked among you performers the work you go to three putt that would have any you know six touchdown -- lot. What are a week ago what. Out of Patriots Tom -- go the other did it yourselves that had a request after touchdown reception at bat but OJQ tell them now a little bit about -- balance there media on. On how much -- interceptions. What kind of points you abducted. Meet you where it was great I would do it -- element that a Roethlisberger and our partners quote the report well. Go along with the intercept them both those guys -- the 300 yard mark -- yardage goes or which part of their 234. Yard. In the pair what what -- and two touchdowns and noticed that happen say that. Kyle Orton was probably your QB Porter -- at that point Romo had three touchdowns while along with and accept it but. As part yardage at. You know -- down and not for a lot of interceptions. All people Kyle Orton was the QB battle with immortal Rex Grossman has -- I got underway. He would -- your court you know. QB -- the week. Kurt Warner continued on you know who to put up some numbers of course -- that won't get -- couple weeks ago. Turnovers trump all else but I -- spot for the day. 250 -- Who touchdowns no interceptions a pretty solid outing Eli Manning is another guy who had two touchdowns and and built it. You know of course Matt Cassel it was an interesting one get the sixty yard touchdown. -- cute especially yardage. Counts for more important totals in your in your lead you expect that what you're excited about that like to -- well -- yardage 259. Drew Brees had 330 yards just under yuck I Orton number of me and Kyle Orton yeah. Barrier and you know if you lot. You'd breathe also or about two interceptions that through on that Monday night yeah. So what part QB ago. There weren't like that that there weren't those."

Play from 5:49[5:49]" Massive about the fortitude caliber are bad but a couple of pretty saw one nonetheless. Majority. That's of disasters like I'm 234 intercepting. Allowed a week Dallas art one that are concerned. I import guys that it the end zone not quite. -- what Williams and Brandon Jacobs sort of have -- list. -- yardage and multiple touchdowns Jacobs. In the Giants absolute. Spot go over the Seattle he thought he had 130 yards a couple of scores. -- what Williams has -- Carolina Panthers rattled in each east. Yeah 123 yards and two -- certainly outside those guys. A little bit of the the goal. Could not remote a couple of -- don't know what yardage equally. Steve Slaton out yet he's not. Texans didn't get a hundred yard mark the degree yet not quite yet more yards children can hightower who did. You don't quite know what you have applicants start and and a touchdown league the the Cardinals in Buffalo. That Irvin worked out well you and then as we know what the Patriots seventh spot and hit the first two -- not a doubt in his career. Only 32 yards on the ground but not really gotten to McGinest yep. Keyed by started -- interest and he went -- spot who's you know location for you know as. Multiple one back you know what I'm about. Pretty moderate on the labor market try to -- and so you think he got a couple of yards what wanted under point five yards out of dip in production from previous game. Rather than being involved I'd -- out you know involved you want. We're -- Ottawa got to keep up that is on the watch Michael term 121 yards and a touchdown as well. So you know. They're good from 48 watching performances one or the week. Aren't we are the other some big ones there wasn't any they're no 140 -- 5060 -- or at least in don't read. However action -- Williams you're happy you are so well so like there yet but Williams on the one that the -- the weak spot. As far receivers go. And I want to get get a couple gatlin or 100 yards. Did you cook -- at five yards and two touchdowns. So it was -- yard mark. But again don't want that that that you want it now. What part of and really the other guy who would -- don't quite an event at. Huge yard inquire Gerald corporate you can cut out for our thought I'd root out yeah nighter at that you thought that -- pretty good 49 yards bill Norris lost the job at a couple of touchdowns. -- Or guard our yard -- or got a 130. Hundred dot in the 231. Yard what do you want. 113 -- has -- I saw what happened on one of my team that I -- what happened one of just because you know that I have a lot to prove. Didn't think that mind yeah -- in my -- What certainly what what has been. Except on the early don't either. Odd couple of hundred yards -- receiver -- important is parked out 111 -- Bernard Berrian Dominic expect. -- it can get a little more a war and yet with. October so yeah our yard and stop -- bill Devery Henderson did as well. And Mike Walker yet to those that want to indict odd yards receiving but not yet don't that they that's what it's worth. Look at Mike Walker and yard -- that help you out here at Mike Walker touchdown. Not Omar now comes the tight end we don't want those guys -- yeah as receivers about Chris -- And the Washington right into it it certainly you know 109 yards 809. Yards. I am not that for Chris Cooley owners and -- keep him with. Very similar number didn't quite a hundred yards and -- that -- find him don't. Other tight end who reached yet to -- Donald we -- He blew it. Parts of the Indianapolis Colts into. 17 era outcrop -- Justin Peelle. There's not (%expletive) go as well. And who we would only guy with 100 yard receiving among the tight end group. And week kickers -- by Shaun -- one Vikings. And that -- performed pretty well yet and again with what you. You'll go out here back -- Portland interest -- that helped me out and brought -- as a shot sweep them. And outdoor multiple guys would reach your goals and and John -- giant. Walt what I extra point between -- and the Giants won one well that night in Minnesota a real. Google as well we dusty has you agree -- creator and the -- had already. And Shayne Graham had three as well. If you -- Martin gramatica. I don't know what you expected. But he's missed a couple of he wants knowing it to a war that was not our our. I would now. Believe I'm not -- he'll be the the world typical for the bat behind you got a -- partly that the war in that. It'll be resilient or did you get a lot of point territory and that yeah ain't gonna do put their goal kicker in opposition that the pure gold go right ahead. That. You lot of other guys at -- struck a lot -- Adam Vinatieri. Nick Folk. Defense you know it's becoming a trend here in Tennessee Titans. Are pretty much proven themselves as one of the ultimate. Defensive not keen defensive. -- actually is here and it this year. -- another solid one by this -- see you're you're you know what the trouble there. The -- that a little ball more you know not not huge. In this on yeah -- into the to a reception but on the week David that in order for the game. But there were a few at bats court struggled they're scored popped out the Colts and the Jaguars. And among teams that more than two interceptions the Patriots of course that three. The secret about the putts out not such an interception. -- game tightly then. 49ers all had a couple of interceptions. What radio hatred dot com -- said earlier we argues that -- you know like now -- you come in. All day area and now we're recording -- shall -- yeah appealed to your email wouldn't shall we encourage you to and then anyways we don't want email on. Not that we get who right now and and soon or else thought to. -- main -- in the divorce and who has won a lot of spot but here's a question -- in -- I think -- averaging eighteen point eight. I'll point like the reason that -- and or reverse averaging 24 point six and play that he pretty at all. Meaning -- be -- up and recurrent colon not that important like during the walked one and not always -- is the play. It is excellent question. At least the hatred that the event happen it would give up -- and Edmonton quarterback local ridiculous -- at the moment. And now we know on the set and then while most of the touchdowns against Miami but it's not that I added the Patriots were a lot single lot not related. That I -- okay but. I don't think that -- in -- and the roster. You know the Ravens and up awkward that happened number one that will be. Still shudder to think about what I like -- and -- started he may have. And R I despite -- and the yeah we got you know the year. Do what you'll but that will that we definitely would break up that -- it you'll you know yeah -- opposite struggled. But don't -- while I'd I'd I'd. Unimpressed with what you've been able to do and what and -- I also think that you know hatred. Stop it not not not not about -- You don't well I think they're in the inning you know came into -- there was one number I think it is better -- the public inquiry -- you -- operate. More did you also offered Garrett Anderson and what Williams. Court or river. I need one that I wrote some sports on a great -- like their group of four so. Why -- Particular Jamal Lewis and LenDale White is not didn't dot. But I'm afraid williams' spot they'll last week which is the one -- Anderson in danger wouldn't drop equipment I like yeah you're treating Rivers aren't it would mean but I do better now. What certainly could do better and one that the opposition. I'd like to -- and and many in our bye week you're going to be. Ott didn't hit and Derek Anderson got the excitement. You know. You don't lose the -- not -- it pretty good chance. You know that that happens they'll help you maybe it could certainly hurt the waiver wire. You -- Anderson on. I'd I'd I'd feel like. You know yet what he won't -- yet in the day. I mean from the capital gruesome forced on. What you need to recruit some by some accident that you don't really have a number one guy like there -- probably figured like real people want. So it's written Anderson and Williams were reversed I act. -- you you probably can do better Rivers. You would be creating Rupert. We're smart move. And so well -- maybe tight is because I am not aware of -- and operate from recruit some force some. And you'd you'd certainly entry were -- their treating Rivers. -- while I dated yet there -- another one back of the even good very good one back. -- a possible QB sleeper. That you want to that I break here I Don knows that that situation could be to quite regularly probably for one out. Really -- he'll pop like there Wendell white scored -- out but. I have but the one each and every week trying to figure who is there. Quite -- don't great Rivers just yet. At least not bad trade. I don't think there and it didn't do much go forward on -- blew up there but. Arctic what it would have tried it Rivers and and one outlet but I think -- With the -- When we come back guy after operate -- upper that we will on. Check it without -- and we're going to -- his team we're going to elect Mike -- well. Again but he -- radio or comes due on the west coast the first -- ever. -- the first of two here what about those. But we are coming back like there's your on the that you look back out."

Whether it's delegating in the parking lot throwing the -- get around to just hang in in in watching the game on the tube is all about football. And when you're not watching football or playing football well I think we both know you're thinking football and all that can make -- a little Hungary.

Delicious and easy to eat it perfect game time snack. Grab one today and when you do if you're looking at that she can collectively kinda remind you of the quarterback in the middle of the pocket and now he's surrounded by -- Jack cheese rent a went. Well maybe you're thinking just a little too much about football. Macdonell I'm -- it."

Play from 18:03[18:03]" Lineman sized -- you're walking off of offensive taste of Gillette Stadium if you're -- already know. Tackle that happens -- Patriots gridiron Grilli tried to. His fourth down franks of Patriots brought -- a wide variety of flavors at home. I your drillers are all you need for the perfect game. You go home barbecue check out all the Patriots gridiron. -- Patriot. Funny tomorrow. Patriots. Diamond drillers. Brothers -- very far Shaw's stuffing. -- when you just can't wait for Sunday."

Play from 19:43[19:43]" The information everything else -- win Wimbledon."

Play from 20:13[20:13]" Yes football has every week the little put on this week is that would come at you with -- from the Bay Area. How much of an effect what the secret trip. Outlet outlet their lucky. Team this week. I don't know what to expect that the decree that the business as usual but I doubt that you go on Saturday. -- want one so on this west coast too -- It interest in week from a logistical import restraints on the NS yeah. Outside just did not talk to some of the players over the course of the last few days it seemed like Earl -- they're satisfied with the way this week has caught so -- Decision to stay out west and you know just beat the rare player that -- that take place -- kind of -- Road game and flight. -- that you didn't have that cross country like that it is a tough spot but term value intermittent short flight didn't back at Foxboro and that the next more treatment and all that. I don't like a home game report about all -- you better arms in the quarter but they've. I've right by the airport and have respect the hotel Rwanda. It seemed like ever want what is pretty satisfied how that went. You Matt Cassel was saying yesterday stated. It's a little better and all of didn't walk -- wake -- walk downstairs and everything you needed. Food massage robots. Raiders equipment and other -- over to San Jose state each day. I practiced. As the prepare for the San Diego Chargers Chiefs and how not having gone back got back east I guess you guys."

Play from 21:40[21:40]" I don't miss this at all your line."

Play from 21:42[21:42]" Right you know acted out of bed now that I think about it I I I really thought I mean you know you run this you know you would come by my top there's been. They combined -- finally won a lot of people would just how well noted. Yeah just don't don't combined chapters but. What would make up what actually that the UT then. Happy new year you was well at it you as well. What -- not what we are done I'll on the Patriots dot entertainment anyone on your team protect him had to perform well."

Play from 22:13[22:13]" that the guy. I don't have any at Patriots or niners in my -- here."

Play from 22:18[22:18]" Are important I am looking at your squad -- the the semi some your squad and end any other beauties about going to. People followed that anybody who is involved her -- Two other. Other that he ordered an end that you don't have a lot for the game decisions and decisions anyways it's. But this sort of quite. -- other people roster -- if you're you're Jordan got banged up. I'm what our corporate what you thought so little I didn't think you'd let your -- I didn't you've got. As credible. We now. -- approach shot. The result you got -- it's important -- the wall who lives over achievers and quarterback this year and you don't want those guys. I'm go to the even with a guy like I would eat. Oh start since you performer put up those two what do you are myself those two guys if you keep out of altered to."

Play from 23:13[23:13]" have animal through the season had a fantastic quarterback in week one with didn't really pan out to my advantage. Who. And guys who played for the Patriots I think you're. Well I'll be on -- got a oh yeah here for Tom. But it's. He had. -- supposed to be my backup and that after. Brady got hurt hands and it scrambling for a week -- two is my 13 and one record shows. But I was -- Jason Campbell up off waivers and he's he's been -- at the form thus far."

Play from 23:51[23:51]" Yeah and most impressive thing with Campbell what they did not know we've yeah my dad and getting them to keep you number the passing yardage numbers. Isn't he did the US interceptions among regular -- here so if you release. If you get penalized you can get penalized but it. I think about how many points you get -- little spurt interceptions -- I think it it it worked out well he really has not brought his ex. Job and value don't -- got huge a total but good enough."

Play from 24:20[24:20]" I would agree and that you know my -- evening court then. Has been fairly. Efficient for the season I mean Plaxico Burress had. Pretty decent year but not with the exception via the two weeks that he meant."

Play from 24:34[24:34]" Yeah end up you know that got important I mean what -- you understand there's going to be injuries -- courses you know it's frustrating when I. -- that you rely on. Like going to I get suspended because he didn't call team what you're missing practice and -- not an important that frustrating an enemy there. You know you look at it hit game against Seattle the other. But of course yeah once if -- let go -- your citizenship he could've gotten in on the action on the Doug would have -- scored the least. One that the couple but you're branded mark sort of walker odds -- Marshall obviously. It's an emerging. A superstar wideout and while that is solid year so are you -- Antonio holds up by we. Who -- helped. -- eventually put you know we and we -- Carolina up."

Play from 25:28[25:28]" No I would agree. You know. Brandon Marshall by fires definitely in the big surprise for me am and I picked him up and one -- the later rounds and from the guys in the league or kind of surprised it and a as far as my receivers concerned and that he's kind of been that. Performing well form -- I think the toughest question that I think every week right now is is the defense they're mean and Philadelphia and I have Dallas. And now both of head some outstanding games and -- also had them. Not as good games -- would -- but or and definitely Bennett a tough call to make week in and week out."

Play from 26:06[26:06]" That is top want an end and they all the other people play and -- clearly atop the division. You know really in the entire week. And you know when it went conclusion that it can go head and -- You really cannot figure out who you know what we're going to go wandered out I think dallas' and silly you know put. A lot of statistical import. Possibility better those -- better year statistically. Out sort of middle of the pack there but you know he's got -- back jumps -- but it's you know what what you don't want those teams played each other output of the division. Bonds you'd -- you as -- got -- they got another week. I gallop at Arizona Arizona to put up points. Didn't score touchdowns in the and go out there army. But he got being area of -- big -- shoot out this week. As part of that concern coming out. -- that you really really part of that is idiotic about here's the Bay Area are that you cross pass without. Donovan McNabb and company but you know activities go -- if people can put up points receiver Eric Gordon butler. -- even for quite -- a -- even touched up their JT -- he's going to throw. But it took us out as well and and he kept francoeur on our party on the right they were the Watergate it could be as expected. That the cup what what it would it -- to bargain with the defense to start this week but I'll."

Play from 27:26[27:26]" I think the bigger -- that -- to me between the two. Would have to be in Hamburg and actions mean Philadelphia's defense for interceptions that hard to doubt -- one. And yeah it's definitely a difference maker on the on the that -- for the points in the league. You know they're both. Pretty much even as far as touchdowns that they've returned. And touchdowns allowed but. You know the fact that. That -- answer that defensive back to. Pick up the volunteers and damage that way I think that definitely helped put them over the top. And their sports -- ahead of the Dallas defense right now though I mean I think Phillies got to be the way to start this week especially. Playing against San Francisco even though I'm sure they're going to go out try to prove something after the game they played against us last week."

Play from 28:13[28:13]" Right yeah I would I would have to agree that you're you're probably leaning toward you know personally and I mean yeah I I I think that the I would go -- But what are on the whole I think over the course of the season. To put an -- supposed to keep sensitive quite good enough. You divide it by now as I look at your running backs obviously much like you know are we heard from my earlier jet you like the quite -- If Tom Brady Ryan Grant -- your talk to take that that would it was you want."

Play from 28:42[28:42]" Yes. Boy I thought Tom Brady was we had a -- keeper league from last year. And that the two keeper who they had where Tom Brady -- 8 kind of let me have a little more flexibility and who I was going after and some the earlier rounds. But right."

Play from 28:59[28:59]" Grant as has certainly been had been used by the biggest one of the biggest disappointment that you all -- on a whole. Not double."

Play from 29:07[29:07]" I would agree I mean I think my dad's vision for this week is. You know I can start to running back so -- right now look at -- James and Darren Sproles that related to start. But at game time you know DeAngelo Williams going down to Tampa. I think he could potentially. -- and starting time on my squad and you know. I tend to think our defense can contain Deron girls."

Play from 29:32[29:32]" Yet you know the downs sport powerful interest think certainly it is that the week -- been slowed due to injury. I'm still very happy -- out all the and taking your chances there. You know Edward James I think in the got you yeah. Start for sure call it that Dallas -- Tim Dwight Howard taking some of the a lot from. Cedric James but as far as your roster goes in Indian you know -- up at Seattle is it an -- one minute and you know you might wanna. You know you still gotta figure Ryan Grant has some some lights and Damon and then at at Seattle saw what GOP has done. It is obviously last week that the Giants without -- up right now yeah exactly how how how bad you got -- you spent. But bill Walsh Seattle has not quite separate and entirely until one of the worst. So are certainly Ryan -- not it was we can be able Williams it's such issue in the other day. I did well by the appreciate what ever. I was pretty certain value wonder got a little ways you -- A couple -- Big got big games together out. It like -- aggregate but where to go up."

Play from 30:43[30:43]" Eight billion they act caller who wants to jump and us right now we have Dan in Boston on the line. --"

Play from 30:51[30:51]" Don't you know that are there. Somebody's got to your lounge with no people down in Florida."

Play from 30:58[30:58]" Yes it -- Independent -- at about the failure right now but eventually."

Play from 31:03[31:03]" But -- I. They even if they're not into what we call our debate it. -- is."

Play from 31:15[31:15]" Now it's raining in New England a -- you aren't missing too much but. It Danny he'd driven above point five miles an hour gets into that now on the that there would that there were
