I've been a three time PF WA and progress is."

Play from 2:02[2:02]" Okay really don't know Latin. I welcome the dominant driver -- yeah."

Play from 2:14[2:14]" Wednesday's that means another edition of private appearance at 2 O'Clock. Email address your web radio had picked that confidence web radio at pictures that come on his Bible it."

Play from 2:26[2:26]" Horry to include the gang's all here for Eric the leg where or. He's going to practice on our rep resented it at practice and we would -- 15 minutes now. One her -- for a personally I laid off Brett frank here. -- Paul Gary in the Booth with a lot of new might frank NJ the big show a lot to talk about lot of reaction -- you know dot com which will get to it we had a lot of reviews of -- dot com and the movie called the movie the movie. I don't know can be found you know. -- agree equally my arm forward to what will carry that we'll get to the review later -- them. We want to talk about patriots the court or. It going to let art -- pre game and prior I. We're getting to the -- they. You get to a regular season game that are you okay we got -- they hadn't hit at all now I think that made up sport. -- didn't do so they're ready now you have I don't know -- there any changes reminded me of Indian and you there on I don't remember what your what we played Carolina. In the -- down there. A ticket may have mental war right after the at that the -- played in and Carolina in the doubles and probably a war. And it was very -- can walk up and a game on -- I really hard fought game ball bowled you played it very competitively a lot of intensity that that they came in for a -- that kind of thing we had two teams that have played relatively recently with the titans at the regular season though. And a there was some banging out their -- they are going to be happy no matter what anyone says or does say these guys human. You know -- linger that was lingering. But -- that it."

Play from 4:34[4:34]" I have relatives of good coach -- I think he knows when to let his players -- Like you that they're human they can they are what they want to say but he -- differently he knows how they feel about Harrison and what they feel -- on their neck pain. And oh my goal little bit I think that's a good move. I think you know. Not the titans were with every play but they were definitely bringing different rough play and other quick start all different place in depth or the patriots out with the talent that I think you know before I work here on out -- I don't knowledge not greatly body right everyplace -- via the patriots would -- at the two years I've been your idol the first year. Yeah before they are my money -- it probably. But like they were little even last of the do you think. What you would be ready to look more this year from the quarterback I think with a guy like -- got -- at different way you know I think they blitz more may be in your memory because maybe they didn't have the personnel and they needed to trick people bring extra people -- overwhelm them. Now I think they have more of a feeling -- Richard Seymour and dale Thomas and Mike -- bowl weekend tricked you in the end that in the 34 you never know which for."

Play from 5:52[5:52]" Guys are coming I thought oh don't need to so yeah ought to contributory you know kind of like you talk about that the giants when he said he called the Indy and every play because we are good enough. They play covered right they have a everything every down so I think last year that there's probably a lot of that in you -- you schedule it and you you look at it. What what can happen I mean coach is never take anything for granted by. You have to look you go to a team and we have it in talent we have an extra personnel coaching preparation we think it would probably going to be able to win game. What would be on the things that would have to happen to prevent it from winning. And maybe -- models are. Get a little bit sloppy with them out of out of the lead at that opens up the two of them they play comfortable and I think that when you're playing like the tech for example. You don't want to help the spotlight that. And and I think you're right I think that. Do you think that you pumping more often and need it they probably play. Similar amount of time now all one they've put on record that was -- route North Africa for a lack of personnel but. Tom's point feel like personal radiate an epic they'd put as much it'd. Back then oh I think probably a little bit of -- down now. And I think that sometimes you think that they didn't put much but much like the contact evens -- in training camp. Probably pretty similar I think any coach will look at -- for an island do what. I'd be mad opal that is that you look at the schedule this year if they or five or that he could be. And that as of April for knocking it around and let -- right now I'm -- team to wherever they want. Yeah they're more bound -- Theo little tweak here they're a little more exotic look because it gillick they need to gain an edge in right now obvious I think we'd all call. The Rodney play on -- how many guys went. I talked to -- about it a little bit and he said that it was deeply miss out I only the only they -- much more on that. Now we do they went right for all of what I mean it's because if you're Russian or won them if the off the edge. And one of the guys up on the line drop back in the -- oh. At least 34. While linebacker stay home but you know -- up on line didn't. And now at least a variation of the bullet and it was definitely opting out of the ordinary and a -- the edge but you know it's. You not -- it wouldn't it back and -- You know Carson Palmer you know have a way with with a conniving Tom's point -- one the that the schedule may have to do with. The whole you know plan of attack anything -- And they might have the personnel again to really that he had promised ever able you have Harrison is what we -- the other night is a glimpse of what regular season are going to be. Then you have him you have been more weapons that are better suited to be."

Play from 8:54[8:54]" And -- in like that any coach will take advantage of his personality they're not going to do things that the -- can't handle the same time. They can handle more though haven't doom you know -- that's what come down and not philosophy."

Play from 9:08[9:08]" And you look at like a Tom -- as athletic as he can help both in the passer in coverage and that will too because you know they use and safety. And you have a back matched up with Tedy Bruschi ala Tom -- like that match up. Thank you and bill -- and I don't you could run right by Teddy Bruschi and if you like -- maybe now with the the outlet has been a variety of ways helping you being more versatile. You can -- that."

Play from 9:32[9:32]" Overall in this game I think people were pleased with the league other than Brady picked. I know they didn't give up a point or half when things were kinda curious it's actually pretty well they contain they're young and I think they they didn't really good job. Offensively I think that the biggest critic I've heard the line lack of communication picking up. You know where the pressure was coming from. But I quit and look at the bright side by all that pressure. They were able to look to Kevin walking take advantage of the and yet you haven't pocket what 89 yards in the first -- rating you like that -- up I had to -- it out they went for the ball went a little -- out of me playing quarterback went to the locker room with a 77 lead by. Brady get knocked out which you don't want to have happen the lead in -- and I didn't in the first half I don't think it was."

Play from 10:32[10:32]" He had I I think that the -- so it why you have I mean looked very welcome on old like that I think if the team and come together the way I think. You can see a lot of situations like that -- where they're going to dominate a long time. At the -- up I don't think I could -- the I don't think the offense did 17 points worth of work and -- You at the greens with a reason wanted to I think that they had a couple of well executed green. I think defensively we shall utterly dominant that that that by the -- nice play on third down brought out I mean that Brady -- great individual play it was broken play unlike the type that was covered like a blanket and then he lipped out of the pocket and then. The guy -- he -- while you know on and while trying to. Make up for the adjustment great play by --"

Play from 11:23[11:23]" But a lot of great -- legged friends you let them up on the titans' half the field they had a drive they had short field editing at -- long kickoff return 30 yard kick off return -- that aren't out of the field. Not on the fumble fumble the one fumble but and the other one was hurt it toward yeah it was well I I don't really I wasn't -- hundred yard I think with all the pressure in the communication problems at the -- having. A lot -- the ball very well. But here's the problem why -- I think -- I think it was going to capital -- Is as healthy as -- I didn't hear about the 11. I think they did it without without without more than we're talking about the game off -- I. And that's what I indicate that we that they were able again the bat he had by the way in the pre zeppelin are counting up and taking it like. For real that's a bad because I think without all his weapons with the press that they're having with the problem of -- had a bad to me at that point I I think that's pretty I don't think that the -- played excellent and I -- the often that that was mine I'm not I'm not over yet I ideally is about the -- a lot of other people wrote a body but I'm not at all."

Play from 12:42[12:42]" Again I'm not going to appear in front trumpet that 17 point up front court because I don't think they played that well they didn't play can that would be worth it at 30 all point outing in mind and that he had played that well right. That they allowed the -- with -- to meet. Not there aren't enough tackle a bit -- about 99 -- first half of which came on two plays one of which was broken plate it was. -- purpose in."

Play from 13:09[13:09]" I just to I don't look at it as -- the I just think -- on all the little matchups in the little things and look at those the bad the offensive on -- runaway -- but even that I kind of look at better in some ways as a positive Matt light wasn't getting -- but what nobody got -- but they just weren't on the same page final Callahan admitted he screwed up one. I think that -- you know -- as what the hell are you guys doing what when's it going to show up because while they haven't had for two years now they haven't had run my roster for two years that's commodity Brady -- for crazy -- it felt really -- run away -- that I want you know guys oh I have yeah I agree with Aoki -- the ball longer because they had no one getting open you Reche Caldwell trying to beat. Up the line I thought I think office appliances over rated group is the only really all that rated I think individually people -- about American colonial national writers are always talking about the lightly Lawrence out as candidate number the only other."

Play from 14:04[14:04]" I -- are going to an overrated topic they've played ever had a little -- to media line is that -- already and it middle the high draft pick a major who was relatively high draft pick you -- cope now with a veteran in college they look at those guys. In the of ability -- them you know continuity in. They don't read it right only look at all the pretty but I think."

Play from 14:28[14:28]" Luckily any coverage better what it is I think -- local writers will globe that they said. Now time than to be -- invest that money and draft that they need to start the outline -- a 1235 I haven't anybody local elite at the offensive line is great strength of the heat while back that it needs to I think probably. Why am I am at what point two because it has now that -- finally group that's been together a little bit or or haven't been together now going on three years. -- and I think people were expecting it be. In out of that lunch pail group that kinda you know unheralded the Joey -- got got it done. There expecting it's taken -- but I do think there's been writing about that not yet. Nationally locally. Amok you know an adult ticket and can there have been times that you know I doctor an -- while I was out and any. Real and pressure on the quarterback. You go back to a couple of you know on the Miami game was the low point in Miami election but. I candidate it would media on Thursday night Friday. They I would be more -- you just saw one guy locked up on another flat out didn't beat. David it was not theirs I'm lottery now I like kind of whoever he was but also by team they were they they kept you in an -- to delegate -- not. -- always -- we have -- but. I think that it can be fixed if you're not winning a one on one battle back Atlantic. And I -- just think."

Play from 16:00[16:00]" Matter I -- I think I'd like on the I was say you know -- that's identity that's not it -- just -- I got all lines I don't know offense lineman scores up that are like on a corners and one on one coverage and they score a touchdown they that your quarterback. You know of -- allure about Rodney Harris and about one game work I'm talking about I don't think you watch a game think has run away Russia have been limited to absolute minimum and they had luckily -- about a guy goes a lot longer -- talk about Africa that almost never happens that they might have been under a lot of pressure and I thought the last year. I think -- we talked about 80 I -- regardless pounding but don't think it's been more on the last year's been the previous year. That's I think -- but not as early as to why it happening you know and I agree with you you never run -- run you know I come liked the First Lady and -- and a -- Looping up the middle untouched point shot and by the chimney and in when he when he when I got together I ought to pay too but you never happened with a lot of things against the skaters that are in how they capitalized -- your point about the game being on everything I'm saying this year. I'm at the line played better than and I answer and if they play like they did the other night. The -- a -- going to be good beat -- not going to be on the field long meters north Maroney and they deserve baker. And I think that's from top bought many -- is going to keep coaching them but I also think it popularly bill bell a check for saying these guys are often -- Matt light were given him money -- uncle were given a money you can."

Play from 17:34[17:34]" We over the last couple years make the case of either you know pre and -- the weapons or -- or and running attack. I don't now all like that all the peripheral to that there are so warm. Only really one well the -- that I think they need to be a strength they've invested in and they need that I like the defensive lineman did the same thing they had these are guys we're resigning him. I think you now have to -- we can line up. 14 out of 16 week an offense -- line we checked that box office -- advantage tunnel personally not seen anything near the most talent you want our line the back the neighbors the quarterback top to bottom the most talent the pattern off during the run. Maybe -- and -- that you know. -- I would watch -- grammar but -- thing as a collective yeah I -- poll all of those you know they may have had a better idea but -- one was in the right. You know with with Grammy and -- now with Watson at 17 point. Well I think going to be a pretty good -- Good week though I'd -- a little bit more time for ought to come together at the time he would I think natural that you play better come like the ball. And we -- to be awarded you know how this plays out this week the offensive line luckily I don't know I don't like that better front and they get a Stonewall you lay out of any time after everybody talking about it right no question they. I already traded -- after the game. I'll talk about who play and not playing well what what kind of injury update we have who returned to the field who now. -- back back back ready Iraq will be playing Friday and I would Friday -- one Friday that Friday -- there. I I will come there. I will be working at it will be it. Despite the fact that might -- did not feel were Maroney to get carried in this game yet and oh yeah yeah. -- I how that he felt -- after -- I want to read ask -- a study from last week Tom Kelly I just love that while yeah. I think it if you could be a choice -- quite the contrary to the I kind of counterpoint and PFW where he's at that -- you don't wanna donate time has really learned well Randall if a questionable at Indianapolis is -- really with the questions at one."

Play from 20:08[20:08]" I don't know I don't know if Italy for him for the often how like we're talk at you federal open at this of that now that everything other than ball -- An idea how it looked pretty good team and I think for him to he didn't finish well last year I was shell of himself from the beginning of the year. You want him to get that confidence back even if it 810 carries in a pretty good defense goes you know what did you as I can beat them and only guy and they got in may be kind of."

Play from 20:34[20:34]" Real good a lot of the observations we had. -- him last year were vindicated by his own comments here about him having to really pick a hole and hit it. And be confident but could we toward the end. Not getting the white eyes hurt I think it might about it was avoiding contact but -- that I really need to pick a hole and go. You know look around much at that the though. You know again another reason why I think it's good to get carried the game to let him -- and the offense -- line to just getting used to help."

Play from 21:11[21:11]" Quickly he's there how quickly he flashes by how long you stay on the linebacker how long -- well how long for him to appear right it. It's a new baca knew that it kills a new spark that I don't think Corey Dillon had a line of scrimmage and I just think. While I don't think it at wanted to -- serie. It's clearly better for the offense to have him get an enemy and you know. The team but you know pillow talk about calling maybe in different playing. Moron and an ad in the past and that's not going to be anything different bottom like the whole home blocking and I think it's been a little bit overdone. Patriot generally you don't blocking but it might change a little bit that plays that they going to lean on with Maroney -- their I think it might be. Beneficial for the -- whining that we."

Play from 21:57[21:57]" Paul mentioned we went back down Carolina last -- of -- I think he's going to be the name of the game because. John fox one of those coaches who likes to win in the printing any gamble play other dream. And last week they kind of ran into -- with McNabb coming back in Philly all that game -- almost like he's dead. We we don't or at four here kind of pulled back his players little bit I think you can he Carolina all all week I think the patriot will be all I'll. Very good the page can be own for the prix of that I thought about like Watson in game unfold don't."

Play from 22:30[22:30]" Matter if it spared they'd gotten the opposite of the game last week and -- thoroughly dominated in the first half and then. I'd feel out -- yet you know I -- in in my mind. They pretty much won again yet. Even though that schoolboy at the end I -- I would agree. My -- why I thought when a frontline guy in the game the patriots -- in control it okay to any power blogger ought to bother one the punting job Malone they give him an elegant. Go out but I think if that's not the unless unless they sign of that away Tom Malone a blogger get -- job but what about even now he can learn I'm not -- Billy my. Advocate camp. What you."

Play from 23:23[23:23]" ordered yet but I think one more game when the game play -- I'll -- like if we go to Carolina team that wondered. -- could have a great camp that you don't of the he's sort one. Things are are a pile up the I'll -- I played well -- out of the benefit I mean it's it's a real mental thing we notice and do it you know. Helium -- yeah. Not to the point where you say okay he even now he's a good kicker he's a young -- developing new. -- any other are -- from Friday night game before we in the back. I mean that fight them like -- even on the L you know about that that that inning is on you know all the years that we had like in April and talk about the draft the young guy you know where that where's -- line while -- RO. The other team on the ball right down the patriot throw. And Drew oh that tells me out in the young guys really. -- does not really that much and public to be fair to them of the back up starters were with the first group bright yet. Well -- because Goran and -- down -- it would be an example and -- got -- third -- get a little lower on the depth -- when -- like -- much -- you have out Bruschi they don't have any -- you know we have -- and -- guys played well at an at -- but the only -- is -- wooded -- Alexander -- we know they have -- back ready to play you probably played a week and we probably mention he's while the range at I don't know me the job for him but Roger had a couple more plays it would be very active he fill the hole very I played a lot later Lee the -- back but that doesn't -- him -- teeth and he also still on special teams -- pinkie and I don't know why. Why it took shining him off the is a little weird I'll take it the -- like to work. I would want to view we are out there guys actually played. This week it -- a lot of good press on more than he's got -- here for years we were yet I'm way ahead of that Brett. And -- pollen Tom -- declared early in training camp that in his will be playing safety this year. Regardless of the help of Harrison and will. Not generally out of them with Sammy in wrote that I thought well no actually edit we look pretty -- never right there I don't likewise when you think that he could you know. Takeover the starting world from Eugene well. Now and I thought well we'll look. Friday night pretty Good Friday and I don't think there -- similar in diet and -- so I think that any guy I -- and I'll definitely more confused it's a rod -- you wait it take that and spectacular and gas cards because. -- he's older -- I don't know why why are able -- a linebacker that up up eagle but I right there right at it as young secondary I think maybe and is out on board and the other technically and my the guy. That could be knocked on the door for -- that shot Baker's -- the little bit. I want his young -- week. Maryland an able dollar and I've found yet obviously different topic oh I think they're a little bit. Better and used in the secondary and the other but he got the Maryland or OK yeah. But I don't have to look very good these -- idea -- I -- that's -- that's a pretty big transition and I think people -- he'll -- athletic -- flat -- the NFL. In the first and it right out and I am not an I didn't notice much in the couple tackles and then there was one plane -- yeah pointed out that physical things in the first game he was just miles away from -- looked a little lost time -- quite a slip out of that -- played -- not tackler. -- at what point winter weather I don't want to see what he can to quarter because I know they probably believe he can play the get a quarter how good he can be there at what point say. I I don't know -- not yet -- I think we've been AM about Thomas I think Thomas and I'd linebacker I think it matter whether the court heard that they aren't any Capitol Hill gone down -- chip away at Thomas and and I think that the Meriweather thing I'd probably be dictated by. And win in need. Help and an area and I are much deeper safety and quarter that's probably why either got to take them right there plus he didn't. He played safety and the notes that a jump from mine but he's been inept part of the deal that comfort level looking in the it's going to be any easier transition to go back to that then. Try to prominent corner rather great rather for -- the week right title tightly in order right and it and you'll come back and maybe that might -- the -- they'll work him being Eugene -- I think he's a little bit out even more physical reputation. Pretty good guy who worked for a small corner. I think he's more in line that you know reach out and they don't call for a strong and we just fell the -- and -- W -- team and is too small a while but we get a lot of questions with high words they know. He is is -- is out -- at -- yeah I miss. I mean he Gary could have ever the original one that we wanted to graduate they're not. Leahy's he's -- guy I mean he's a little shorter than Rodney I think about -- right that's what I'm saying -- Rodney your locker out of my health. -- looked like these guys will be great football players because you look at probably think their credit they really are. -- look like Vlad out he looks like."

Play from 29:37[29:37]" Oh and five and -- yeah. Oh you know -- I don't think that -- not I'd deal but I -- a little blue chip 30 or 21 eye -- bodily injury Sean Taylor he's not who's -- guy like Virginia Tech. A row row -- at all Adidas -- we're going to take a break we'll come back get email your -- that. Revolution fan blog I've -- to England revolution to -- away like revolution soccer dot net.
