Adam Schefter

pay more accurate Indianapolis up there what feel like OJ yesterday and never returned referencing. I kept -- on watching -- were being when when rated film of the patriots that in the point.

Atlanta we have to go there because we -- just percent in anyway out of I was at that game and I thought the rout was on. Yeah actually we not talk about this this is like going back to that bill Buckner game it's. Relaxing is on this like.

Well he should we I don't know I was -- and I backed up a party yesterday.

Only that but he did all last week to bring them all up now what do we know through the -- less well. You know the call to this football team so everything's measured through Indy but I think. And I think I am a personal opinion -- and not an objective one but I think the patriots have more talent.

I already know I think they still -- you know what it's a question of how these guys -- together and there are assuming they. What's a political to me is eight guys up the street. Where that's and it put cute or somebody else I don't like New York right now but I would think it was in the labs -- back. And it and they stick these guys it and -- Michael -- players now. With urgency or god -- we jumped up and Rodney Harrison got what we are suspension they're gonna ask what she -- restraining James Sanders and it was practically -- it -- a global this year.

Yet all about fitting in the system all of a sudden the system works and makes you look good

they'd they'd do it better job of that in any team in the league and they may do a better job of that in making. It was history NFL because what do you do at age where Asian event meg pretty. Sorting out it was -- back 14 years can't remember anybody. That took. Backup players that are normally productive backup roles and the image and made them look like stand up.

It's Adam. -- Thomas Donte' Stallworth. Wes Welker Randy moss those additions you know have increased the expectations here exponentially. The patriots are not expect to lose one gain. Based on those four acquisitions. I mean it's pretty remarkable the way people look at that this team it is it unreal it's it is -- an unfair. Thing for these expectations.

I I didn't think that they are out there for a few reasons but. I understand why -- it there because that same game that we are talking about the open up this segment 113 earned first data away from winning that game they -- first that it very fortunate in big win that game. And it's over. So you'd think that -- also in Wes Welker abilities missed all what the first ballot in Indianapolis I'd feel like it goes beyond me. Well it's so much about confidence and momentum. And those factors that you can never predict how they're going to an old and it's up to New England. This year make sure if they that the most effective or wage is so typical forecast the worst thing. You'd just never got in. -- blew -- open coaches say they happen to get upset against the jets general and they will always. It was it was bad and they'll Cineplex and it don't know. And you'll look at what you started were fortunate it got out at 95 would you like it or all of it and sell it. He kicked -- they -- right back it would be shot. That the that the patriots to basically everyone seems and it support Q during the offseason are really adapt -- towards going -- award they didn't turn out.

And I shot it shocks the perfect description.

And it is outlandish -- that scenario scene and it that's outlandish. I got out of the realm of possibility -- I think it is good that went Sunday in the back San Diego and of the -- again. Expectations are never in line with reality and that's just the way it -- and they knew better offseason has -- the one.

Especially in this would mean just never -- and you just never know and that's the that's the beauty of the league.

I ya never know put it on the greatest. Go back and look at the week since 2000. There have been at least compete at least two games every year sometimes three. That it got from last. The first place and just last year at this time everybody -- saying what projects done a very -- and it is going up the shoulder surgery to shoulder surgeries they get a -- coached there -- it doing it running back. Jets -- it's it's coming up 313 season oh. Things happen in this league real quick that nobody expects and that the initiation everybody is saying. In remote it's San Diego Indianapolis and -- is all but everybody is never right.

You know like in the scary part about that is that there was -- was Carolina last year. -- and -- all the Sunday -- that team just folded.

At all they would basically I guarantee that go back and look at every. -- all prognosticators fixed in appreciate unless you're okay how many of them right very very you'll.

How much stock -- Ramiro about a NFL dot -- how much stock do you put in the New York Jets mind games that they've been playing with Parcells or Parcells with -- this week. Reunion Reche Caldwell on Tuesday for a coach that they sign up my intelligent there was with a pitcher to pre season. They bring in Artrell Hawkins earlier is this just the classic mine game between Mangini Belichick.

The word that comes to mind right now -- and you can't tell me that that hasn't. The patriots the -- doing an active active because. The patriots -- so secretive. About everything and -- ticket. Three people will watch every -- started this summer and brought -- it eclectic if there were Jewish state secret its patent to rule when. In a mortar orchard being like there's no but. I think that. Basic outlook a little bit about Eric and Mike Elgin. In particular was now a member of the -- organization that wrecked by the picture it's worked out this summer. Mike -- out of I think patriots worry about that no but I think it is -- then you're up.

Can you tell -- they would have done the same thing. So it is no question about it it's like you know mad magazine spy versus buy it's the same thing and went and done the same thing. Right can you tell us what happened between bella jacket brad Childress.

Where I want -- I mean that Stewart. Yeah I don't know historian and here's what happens is there are a lot of conversations that go on between a lot of people in the then there's a lot of behind the scenes conversations that go on reported between coaches and front office people and that's sort of hope works in. The way that Greg Childress relating to collect if somewhat level boat -- on the logic is more Lou Gehrig wrote the tight end. An assistant effective they don't remark I won't mean your bag logic. And ray Childress basically spoke out about this much the surprise -- many people and said I'm not doing that we do things and basically called --

Does that happen a lot. -- you know.

I -- I I I don't know that that should Mario a lot but there are other things where trade our action. They blow like let's just say hypothetically. New England called -- we sentence -- player you might having missed out there. So conversation on that I know the patriots had that conversation so. No Wilson at a player you might we will watch him and being denied permission to the patriots the sinister applicant that seven that act as that happens.

Call protection take their rumors floating around about Seymour being an out longer than six weeks could be out the season. That possibility.

Let's -- you're you're talking about an injury that the patriots and (%expletive) from the outset rival way. He's gone six weeks so he'd -- now. He's an important player that. -- parting -- up. You're holding out hope that he can come back at some point between seven and 17 okay there that spoke in this sought and they think it that's what will happen. Now this injury done a lot of that I think is a question about it I guess is he'd he'd Beckett you're gonna get this season. -- would have known that they were and I are and I at the very least there public hopes that it will be back later on this. Oh -- are happening here automatic.

We never understood the Josh Miller the situation with a partner all of a sudden you know Miller was in the doghouse last year comes back this year during training camp and get released. What was the story behind the story with Josh Miller.

Yeah I I don't post -- the story all right you know is is this story is that they'd they'd been what you went or some. Eric was militants it too much money -- in the summer was -- too much money. I don't think that what it was what they've made. So -- Good moves up so might -- what did make a little extra minded signal out -- any hopes that they have this hoopla.

Are that there wasn't actually break in the bank.

Until that and and I've got it over suspect AG. I would not on number of levels have allowed a guide has meant that much the -- every. I mean usually there's certain people concerned they haven't done anything haven't. Dissect it ad nauseam but need Adam Vinatieri in a -- should be a tree and should have always been a patriot. -- east here at Indianapolis right now.

Well you know it's. I guess that's that goes there to please 888 or nine number we you know I'm the one that brought up it's so let's not -- that we've all --

Exhausted that conversation around here this ad nauseam. What's your what's your take on Rodney Harrison adamant and is their other more shoes to drop there was it just went out to stupid enough to get cannot.

Well you know couple things I think. -- are stepping forward in and passing up to the whole thing and I think -- your order started nobody -- just note as were okay he can't touch that -- the -- club it or other weapons at all let me put it on the application on the online they. -- enemy five. I doubt it is Elie or like that -- acrobat suspension nationalistic expect the race. He's brighter note as -- So it's but it may have let explain that so since the eight ball right yeah. The thing it's. I don't think and call me naive I really don't believe -- age for competitive advantage -- guys. -- for two reasons. Just heal faster from injuries which rod aspect about admit it overlooked is to -- however. During their work outs they -- work healing and an. Indoors but Robbie -- soaked through so. -- work out at those Arnold basis. By age age. The last of the get back out there again the next day -- in the next and I think there at age church side. So it would help grow what is the most Hollywood actors are not going to -- never seen any movie trailers. Guys so so what are you -- that we movies or wrote let it elect elevated guys nor is it --

All of course of the fastest exactly still on the prime example.

I don't make you do about it obviously it was me like what was the last six and initially pictures of guys that. Actors in it up and going -- rates. India it's. Trust me -- in an -- aging device to know but it's so aside from. You you shot. I don't let it is our society and I you know -- I looked at the moment that would know what else it was much based -- anybody ever met. I think you acknowledge that it would shock. The actors actresses involved in it. Things started missing doctors in people once.

The actual number. Don't let the information age and -- the -- thought he would -- he would -- overall. We might get to get a police has done it yet to did -- it is.

That a great -- love to do that question -- season so far the greatest start. Your prediction on how well this team is going to do record wise.

Well I don't think regular season quite get there. That they're going to be -- one things right away I think people in the nation in the well outs and need to predict there is that the about the last last year. If Troy brown -- strip all the way to the lake the championship game is in San Diego Indianapolis golden -- I don't think it that was step into the street Beckett though it's -- and just hit it Estes who all it's video west because Troy brown made that strep. I believe in it apples were Super Bowl I agree that. I don't like you people backed. Point missing the plate when -- Ben Roethlisberger but it may -- they -- scores that ever comes to in the that was the next week. Championship game in Denver's got no shot it would make it in Indianapolis which is well that your. So acute shortage have fragile this -- is how one single bounce the ball one single play -- think it inside. Who chance and most well. And.

That's why officiating become section section unknown factor as you know the subject in this -- And and diets and it was just the way it is.

Fortunately can body's not -- ring in the -- and that's okay let's hope not that goes on elation. I think every sports league -- tremendous made sure that that happened I think at the awareness of that issue it's heightened. After a ten diving incident. And I comedy I like it does so and but expect initial thought there. That -- wine. She's so -- and so were -- That is that I expect the finish what division I expect have a great season. And to go back initial point yes people are expecting an awful lot which means never.

My relatives flying under the radar some sleeper teams to capitalize on that fragility.

If you -- be -- to watch out for this year I think number one the Steelers. I think particularly back this year I think they get turnovers. Corrected I think that. Everybody is last year in the fourth championship or ethnic back. It it's it's averse -- lost Joey porter I think they'll be back I think that. In need in exceed -- Scioscia walked people sleeping on them a little bit because last year Matt Hasselbeck chart out and or hurt. And when they're healthy they're different team at the this year and two. Different teams I think that people expect you walked in and -- buccaneers so there's worst sweepers -- at Pittsburgh Seattle wash.

In camp I -- at the when the night. A great one saints colts you know from where most 3835 games just should though.

I hang out weren't going to get -- site info on the and good job that great great talked
