[0:37]" He jammed into the song of hair any -- all alone I am and whiny to praise or producer Derrick Hideki for the music great fan of then that takes on takes on the more appropriate might have been."

[0:46]" Ball -- You know I know I have you. But we also don't have any moves talk about because they made no transactions the entire team including the practice squad on the west coast this week working out including the PFW and including all the other unit and Youkilis and -- and sisco actually living in Santa Clara training in San Jose. But it it's again. They keep it. And they out will be traveling on Saturday. Down the coast in Diego for the game Chargers sort of the injury report this week because actually it's pretty simple eyes. Yeah. Yeah and it -- read -- report time. So used Thursday's practice participation reports starting with the New England Patriots linebacker Eric Alexander he has been for quite some time did not participate hamstring. Running back LaMont Jordan calf injury did not participate. I and Dave Thomas had the flu and did not participate Kelly Washington remains out with the ankle injury. Limited participation. Running back Laurence Maroney with a shoulder issue actually downgraded from the day before when he was a full participation. Lewis Sanders limited as it works back from the hamstring injury that kept a couple weeks and kicker Stephen -- With a right thigh injury limited in practice I wouldn't worry too much about that one. I'm on the Chargers side of the docket number of key injuries Chris Chambers ankle. On the injured against the Dolphins -- carted off at Wrigley thought it was broken and not but still. Put him very much a question mark for a the game this week and he did not practice. Nor did -- and Jack in the other wide receiver with a knee injury. Child Tucker linebacker who helped replace Shawn Merriman is the -- his hamstring injury did not practice. Limited participation for Antonio Marty they're talented cornerback. LaDainian Tomlinson toe injury limited Mike Tolbert fullback ankle limited. But a couple of guys are talking on the Patriots -- first will be Dave Thomas. Trying to think he has the flu. At that think and it certainly not a good thing when they're all living in a hotel together with the potential eating and cleaning dining room practice seeing sharing. The small locker room that they're using at San Jose state. Using keep an -- and that he had the flu spread. I'm oftentimes when that happens when one guy get the flu a lot of balls immediately in the locker room players getting. Nutrition nutrition in fluids and all the things like that. On the other one. Laurence Maroney and earlier experience and what you love him. I think you'd think that you know. As a first round pick in year three he's dominating the field. Can't he has potential yet and that what I want to talk about the potential of Laurence Maroney. The potential 82. B he thinks he can be counted as an act."

[3:35]" Flashes up in the past never consistently in the errors the problem but the other issue is the injury. Now he's regressed and goes from. You know when -- open -- patient practiced limited the shoulder issue week to week of speculation today's Boston Globe that possibly the shoulder issue is why he. Has been running a little tentatively and maybe try to avoid contact. Either way he's a frustrating player because either stay healthy and it's hurting his ability. Or healthy and the injuries sort of an excuse and he's not living up to as you say is potential first round -- But the bottom line is any more from the running game they need to become more consistent there they had the 43 carries against 49ers they need a little bit more production. And with -- LaMont Jordan missing practice with the calf injury that is his second season they got a pair of running back there that. On haven't on the abilities and the feel anymore has remained healthy obviously Kevin fox having great year. On but there's mission there in the back there with a need to get an assistant in terms of production. And consistency in terms of who's going to be on the field. And yes I I think you know this will be instinct he Laurence Maroney because if Jordan can't go and no guarantee at this point because he missed practice before the Miami game and then suited up and played in the Miami game. But if he can't go. This might be. Oh last ditch effort for Laurence Maroney to maintain his starting job. -- productive yards now he's limited because of the injury and you just have a lot of question mark in the backfield but. Patriots have an injury that in the starting at Apple but they've been relatively healthy aside from the major Brady issues so far. But both these teams now have lost their stars Shawne Merriman for the Chargers number for the Patriots. And a injuries start to pick up at some other positions on both teams come in a little bit banged up I think the Chargers. A little more so with. Philip Rivers has rib injuries LT still battling a toe with financial year that. Really slowed me below four yard carry on chambers a major weapon in terms of scoring five touchdowns. Big play again in the passing game in Jackson on the other side of the field Antonio Marty Tibet and back out there. Among past and are giving up the most guards in the league though a lot of issues. Relating to the roster for the game for both teams probably not quite the game and Adam E his NBC thought they were getting me signed up for a minute the ball back in April. Tom Brady out Merriman Dallas Stars out of that rivalry in that Iowa and BC's trying to help hyped up favoring. I gotta go with the Chargers in a tight the victory and it's a tough spot for the Patriots -- yet. Their back is up against -- wall they lose this game there in big trouble turned to make the play a threat to a three. -- to go on the road and they go on the road again -- one in in long trip obviously around the world for them basically. On I think that they need to win this home game Patriots on the other hand got the first game of the two game west coast trip we take a split there may be not quite as much pressure."

[6:26]" Com that the argument they've been out there used to the -- yes that's why am torn because I I'm going to go to Egypt are. --"
