We're going to talk to former size that anybody boomers brought to you by Canada's at staples check out there wide selection of -- image class -- peers including the MF 4150 without the 9600 DPI cover scary. Visit your local staples today it's -- it's the Osce a ball real close it here in the course Pete -- well --

There are great guys start. Football you know one you know that -- not -- virtue way you know I don't know I don't know. That's two days ago now it's -- the running at the school running up.

All you don't like the other guys get paid no matter of fact the Washington Redskins have two assistant head. Coaches that you make too. Million a year peace in joke gives -- five year his Hall of Fame coach they get paid to -- it would stop the other team. -- telecheck not to do his job somebody -- can't do --

How does how does this -- Shelf life of its -- here crossed the country when you go back and you look. And Steve young the other day -- looking -- scores in games that he played with a 49ers blow teams out of the 87 -- isn't a ball game with four minutes left in the game. Well why is suddenly becoming such a big huge deal.

I don't know if I'm an issue in my outfit and right now professional football. I get paid millions of dollars and don't you take your starters -- much starters sent a holders to it and you know they have all the media stuff Pete said about how Tom Brady is probably going to except she or get cheap shot or something of that nature bottom line is right now Tom -- to definitely get on probably 12 to. Thousand dollars. Because all of a sudden everybody bright light spotlight on and so you know what I despite its -- the media guys in a did you guys from the talk about it can be talked about. And it's all just ridiculous I mean at at the end of the day they get paid. The patriots get paid and you know what who cares it doesn't matter anymore and it's on to an extent.

You played Dudley plenty years with a target on your back to most guys most of its players are going out to get to it to hit the quarterback but not a vast vast majority of players want to do it legally -- would face to face wallet to would the way it's supposed to be done that there's nothing wrong with that but when when people call for -- go home the idea of of a cheap shot that that becomes ridiculous to a to a point of serve.

It -- but didn't know -- dollar dollar really remember one time where somebody would gently tried to hurt me. Became an I was against the Minnesota Vikings when John -- their nose tackle -- plan. Now it's big lineup is so line coach was John Ehrlich. John throw a good point which now at Indianapolis I'm I'm not saying that that is. Going to be part parcel -- somebody cheap shot -- bit about your remember a few years ago. There was a question as to whether or not what do you have to quantity it is capitals cheap -- that the quarterback Willis. I remember saying on the difficult today that you know this coach who -- history of this too -- where he try to. You know kind of go to that it did speak to the -- to maybe not play a -- but get right there -- development upping it up I had them Monday night. In Indianapolis separate set that on television and you know that would -- So the -- ever guy ever team that could do something like that. It would be Indianapolis with Tony Dungy arguably but he that is going to be terrific coach it is true for person and we never condoned teaching. Anything like that I hope it doesn't happen either he or eight Manning already quarterback for that matter but you don't get it today at all about what adequate back on the back I can honestly say. I have never seen a quarterback have as much time as much space in the pocket Tom Brady -- pitcher.

Why do you think that's happening is it more -- that -- what's -- wise getting nets.

Well couple things -- 11 from. Foremost you've got to have five guys up front that are good at what they do and you know Matt light touch or even though they're not Orlando pace or Jonathan Ogden earning those guys they do a very good job they're very smart pass blockers -- wanted to put together really well once felt pocket kind of group of guys -- but it is really good at what they do number two is that Tom Brady can read. Reach deep cuts is probably better than any -- anybody in football. And out teams all are basically defending. The patriots the way that they used to defend the Indianapolis Colts and that's just sit back and -- on the ball that they want to do it -- seven or eight guys back in the secondary. And you know good thing about Tom what he's been doing not only is -- get to. The right guy but the accuracy of the football which has been made in most of the balls were right between the numbers are very few ball would be. He deflected because they're not rushing not many guys -- and it's really been amazing to watch that's why I said it -- two all city and here we whatever it is eight or nine that this is the best offensive football team. I've ever seen in the history and at the National Football League and if they're deep and which really hasn't been tested at this point a little bit against Dallas. Put on a short I think -- well this Sunday. And I think you're gonna start hearing about legacies are hearing about how this to be one of the greatest teams of all time at all.

Hollandsworth did it last night an agent -- I was shocked to just.

Well you know it's it's kind of changed things you know that we were I've been talking about this now I've been on this -- what's -- Tom Brady started when he took over for -- don't have typical the decision that was for Bill Belichick back when he did it. Remember picking me the patriots won the Super Bowl again. St. Louis Rams that you're -- what. 1000 national correspondent USA today that depict the patriots. And I've been watching it since 2001 and I've been amazed at just how -- this football team span and only knew this year that they were going to be that much better because they went out I got. Any -- west Auckland pompous or not -- all of that. They trapped you know deep threat of players that you know turned out to be pretty good players over the last few years but and they -- the day's promised to take out -- I think it's been brilliantly run it's been. Politely outperforming and it's been it's been an amazing and run but they've been on an appointment get better -- rest of the season.

Whom -- talked a little bit about all the time that Brady has had to and you know maybe to teams have been a little reluctant to design a lot of pressure on how do you go about it what do you do was a defensive what do you try to do different.

Well you know I would say that you've got to get the quarterback W you gotta hit the quarterback and I'm on I'll -- all the way. Beat the patriots go to the Indianapolis Colts as a 18 and while I'm on the field I don't know what I would do the people to work it I don't know quite risk. Exposing the back in the might be -- one on one downfield but to try to get as many hits I can on the quarterback war what I just try to sit back. Forced quarterback you know mistaken he can tick tick away you know or or be outpatient he has but. Wanting to -- any -- the last couple years and we've also had this he's matured in. The point where he doesn't -- yet to -- 35 ball game. Throw for 300 part that he he realizes he. When it game by throwing for two -- or two scorers. It just running. Football because that's deep and -- again I think Thomas always been patient we're back to attribute the offense has been different than it's ever been up until this year so. You know populated that particular point and have a mentality that they are so good right now I'd they've they've they're doing very little longer not turn football over the protecting the quarterback they don't happen on the ball because they can throw balls mostly. Afternoon and I'm just telling you it's almost it's almost impossible but defense something like there's just. Hope that they wake up it's bad days or maybe -- a -- babies and stiff back. And he's not going to be as sharp as in the last few weeks but it was sort -- pretty talked -- test.

I -- the one thing that the colts have been able to do the last three games against the Brady of the patriots. Is moved Bob Sanders up they move them around these everywhere and he's the guy that's coming of Brady forcing him to unload that ball quickly. With the receivers they have this year and the that is what seems to me the quick separation they're getting in those guys will that tactic worked for the colts anymore.

Well I I don't care how does -- you know Bob Sanders makes it got completely different it is not a question that is all world say. And it's amazing watching him but it is very few tackle the -- to watch on Sunday. When they do and the ball off you'll see him you know be right around on scrimmage use even he goes back but you make your -- He's got to look at the receivers that Tom Brady has played well since he started okay I mean. You have guys like David -- David Patten Deion Branch in. White to our -- beat Doug Gabriel Chad Jackson Bethel Johnson Peter Warrick JJ stokes for. -- out loud and all of a sudden now. Playing with these three receivers that are just perfectly suited for what operated as --

Do comes argued -- pick your -- kind of mentality pure defense defensive unit.

Double -- besides Bob Sanders what makes his defense seemingly better that was last journal the played well -- but they just seem to be playing a lot better and they do during the regular season last year.

Yeah they're they're good they're inside linebacker Gary brackett are really good player Yahoo! they're outside linebackers really good player like not to Dwight Freeney and Robert Baptist. In the dome are very difficult -- in -- out you know that's work wanted to draw a circle around any matchup in this particular game. It's always going to be on the road in the don't -- you -- of the deep sense of bands because those tackles. It even though they don't want to silent count on there's always a big advantage for those deep and then so I think that's really. You know where it the -- it in this game. Worth the patriots offense and you know they have a ever rookie Johnson at one B -- to tackle Raheem -- good player not a great players I think the inside the all but the wind and I can -- deals should be okay -- and -- that inside there. A bomb but again -- on the one on 1 weight from. You know you know without tight end up like that make it very difficult of the the block these guys -- on Sunday in the that's where I'll watch watch the match ups on offense for the right tackle what a pitcher.

They replaced nick harper and Jason David with the Kelvin Hayden and marlin Jackson Jackson played before but how they're playing more physical -- trying to -- receivers does that work against the likes of Randy moss or Stallworth or walker

well I mean I think I think on new one of those guys topic that's all right don't pick a topic that will be the one of them inside a bomb. Sought to block or whoever he matches up well he's always going to win I mean he he's always going to get the third or fourth best -- at the back. He should be able went in and -- of course Randy -- police playing. You know what -- Champ Bailey on as best they -- opportunity to build -- want to bet. The -- of got away from a little bit more is that covered too deep sense that that Tony brought with him. From Tampa -- the play the war against model of the more progress recovering want to -- in the points of that. I don't want to get too tired of the year but they're playing quarters -- the pact -- of the other two wanted to play quarters half. Which state -- the tightest line of scrimmage so we get involved in the in the run game I would bank because the pitchers throw the ball so much that they're not going to be as much in that type of these that's formation they'll probably be back with those two cities -- going to try to you know. -- competitions much like -- would try to test the patience of Peyton Manning's so I -- that in the quarterbacks one quarterback could be alternate game. And the other quarterback in the off and running in this game and -- be a blowout I just hope that Indianapolis has enough to keep it close to keep -- viewers aged.

Boomer there's a couple of guys gone under the radar here Moroni I think in the dive which seem to think to be able to run the ball better on Sunday.

Well I looked -- died and I -- aren't only two but Joel diet. Really calm you know it's really shown some pictures shown some really. -- he's been policy's been able to get inside runs he's not back in down you know now they're real test now it. The ability beverage Seymour an entire front line intact. It's going to make a topic as coverages -- more adaptable game is going to be a lot of rotation going on you know I think with the -- Thomas on the field now you're gonna have a tough time on the football bill Bogut on the pitchers but they're not going to. You know they're not going to go one place you know 80. York it's gonna happen -- line for them. And I think it's going to have to -- want for knowing under the I don't believe that you don't want to keep a -- Anders. Want to put their deep the -- with their deep threat to abide by locking up. Their quarterbacks one on one but I I see that that the pitcher to going to win this game probably by ten points more and it it wouldn't surprise -- if they went up by 21.

I wanted to get back to the Indy defense a little bit you mentioned you know -- is probably going to matched up against one of the you know the third fourth quarters. Would you do something different if you -- would you put that because I know Jackson I guess. Has gone inside a little bit in sub packages and stuff but would you do that more against Welker and maybe taking chances with stalwart against the third guy outside.

Also work to do the best kind of came now I don't know we know that but you know what that -- but pretty desperate -- feel about I don't know let's well there's been so good alternate. That I could feel what oh what very I think what you got to coordinators do and I and I can only go by what I've played what they try to do -- while we were a decent often. Number one has got to be -- because you don't want to give the big plate down on the field double -- Brought up to double coverage like -- did get to Miami Dolphins may may be well I don't know maybe yes so much confidence and -- do that. So even if they -- that the right coverage on going that play caller might not be could it not because Randy moss has been able to overcome some of that. But -- and the next person I would say it would have to be Wes -- you you would have to if he goes inside it typical man coverage. You would have to put somebody on him. And take him out of the mixed goes on third down on type reds don't -- she's been so important it is but it is pacers offense it would surprise me -- one of their better defensive backs on the the inside no that would not surprise people and if that's going to be the case you're gonna make sure the guys that you put on about the sport rock. But I would see them Tom Brady's thing you know what okay -- phone -- to take shot on the field on him to I don't that's. That's right but that's that's why. They're sold short at dissent against right now because they got the long ball down the that the underneath rose they can run at -- good screens he. And to protect Albert Utah where the weaknesses and I'll give you a million bucks because you should it be sent to court and -- development.

Well responded through eight games it we're talking about this -- bell a check last week in its interest -- that you look back at this rivalry. A few years ago patriots added advantage when did play and his sloppy beaten track here in fox well and it would always be difficult. When they went out there. Now you look at the make up of this team. This team is suited for playing indoors with no wind on that artificial trot out there.

It's it's unbelievable how the patriots now I've become the way the -- used to date. And what is and what is going on years -- the rules changed a a few years back where they -- okay after five -- you can touch these wide receivers how many teams have really taken advantage of that maybe Cincinnati Bengals certainly be Indianapolis Colts. But now I believe that the government pitchers have taken those rules that have been put in and re interpreted in this league. And they are now taking advantage of it and the one out -- got great athletes to take advantage of that kind of stuff are doing what every team wishes they could do. That's basically put their quarterback in shotgun like they do in the in in. In college now and they're basically saying you know what you can't get or we're back you can do it in the -- do what we have a guy that. If you're going to be held. It's going to be illegal contact or atomic -- and that's basically what the other pitchers have been on they've been taking those rules and exploiting them. Better than any team has in recent memory.

Well that's what you have that smooth Mets and that will -- of Lotta people think it's built -- and a and the St. Louis Rams that that wanted that rule in the books because what the patriots defensive backs were toward their receivers.

Okay here it goes -- trivia. You know and I'm not a topic you don't -- that way too much credit for the kind of I don't know but you know you're you're together -- pumping books that. Published back in one -- you know maybe you should give credit where credit is due. I think there's a little bit of -- discuss. That is always wrong towards -- because of the whining complaining. They lost that game whatever you that was two -- the rules were changed specifically every but he pointed to that playoff game. The cult that and what I Lotte but he -- talented wide receivers okay onto. They changed the rules patriots don't want on land one to a good about it but I still think in the back probably sticks in the all -- principal wait years in the beauty it's on a football well thought wouldn't doubt that he's okay you know what. We can't beat -- the way that we do things that we're gonna beat from the -- thanks and we're going to do -- better than NATO it and not only remember about it American you know we're going to. We're going to set records offensively and and our quarterback is going to have something that their quarterback at cornerback what happened -- two regular season MVP plus he's going to break all the touchdown. No records on -- all of that now we two point operated in the greatest quarterback in history of professional football. I wouldn't doubt is a little of that that's going on on the knowledge and a talent right now because to me this is the competition with an accomplished. Forget adults forget the jets predict involvement. Those teams or JP expect you'll look at epic game that really means more to Bill Belichick and operating in the when patriots in any other game may play in a game they play against Peyton Manning Indianapolis Colts and opal.

The other thing attest to if you look at it you win this one. You've got the home field advantage come playoff time for that AFC championship game.

I won't matter up on on just talent you as long as Tom -- helped out if you stay up right. They're not going to be Pete I don't care there isn't a team on their on their schedule that I would look at say well they scare me. Because they have the defensive stop any team that they play. And they have no beat back on the -- on their schedule they can stop what they're don't want their help in there at the top of their. I -- not to be a genius or an expert.

I had you don't and you know what they get by this one I think that. Won't get off for the piling on subject -- I think everybody will be talking about are they going to run the state this is the only and has a shot going to be honest about it.

Well you know that's right here and here's here's the other aspect of all that -- I'm morning radio partner. Basically new world don't want to let them down the road exit you know whose fault all of this says. That is basically got the patriots like up -- arms -- quietly am sure very motivated you know locker room you know this -- all the.

Bay GM I don't -- Magic into the.

Magic falcons despite eight now you know we don't have videotape be opposing defenses which is going to kick our -- you know that we know what -- they'll.

The little poking -- with a sharp stick. But what the scores going to be -- December 16 game.

that's what I'm going to agree with everybody -- on that game -- Well thank you don't know that momentum a lot of it. The going to say while you don't the jets are achieved it was quite a plan while they have a couple bad breaks camp that you -- currently. Place from seven and one if I with the jets had with those white uniforms again commended maybe they -- replica hats.

You know your ears you know and and really counts but it. It all in all honestly don't Pawtucket perfect storm -- right now he's got a great quarterbacks. He's got a great defense he's got a rejuvenated and somebody's we dedicated himself and Randy moss he's got a young running back. Okay and he's got everybody feel one -- now locker room like to -- the league screwed them because despite gate thing because now -- all running up. I'm telling you. I don't -- bill are great publicly at a rate now on on camera guy hates talk about it. -- argued internally it's like the perfect storm and -- you know -- talk nobody wants to be the reasons. That -- that this team loses so there's not going to be one thing that isn't going to be you know studied or focused on that that help this team.

They were you missed you missed one when the season is over. Even though they lost that first round draft pick they're probably going to get a top five top entrapment with the good to pass -- out of college that's.

Unbelievable record unbelievable detect about it so why I just figured -- There's legacy things here you know -- bowl Vince Lombardi. You know bill Walsh and that's that's what for for goal you know telecheck commanders. Johnny used Joe Montana Terry Bradshaw that's what's ahead on the next level. For operated because I'm ready we'll have done every and and warned that every at quarterback accomplish and -- vote.

I -- we get to you're official picks for the game are you enjoying its been almost two months now I enjoyed that four hours on the radio every day.

I did not do like it. I've really do I didn't I didn't know what I was get myself to be quite honest.

And legitimate who would you expressed is that like some management people -- the restaurants it's tough you know you've got every single day this little --

Did you guys get to get up at 9 O'Clock and more directed --

Obviously that's -- rob gets that you have an article the more and more for them you. I thought -- don't.

I don't side has -- took a roll out of bed till about noon.

I didn't roll out of bed do you know which. Just recently it was doesn't would've been -- brown -- of the year that somebody's going to attack him at all hours one. I just constantly yelled yeah. Well you know what it says he's afraid people would walk by -- putt putt -- it -- if I actually thought about it did that

what you -- you larger audience it is a lot of.

I am down on the mound elicit a little bit of crime because all -- stopped them to wander round -- but once. The football season's -- other companies I don't know exactly it is actually pretty good job.

It -- I have heard a little bit of it online from time to time on them when -- And it has that you guys are trying to do it is more of an entertainment vehicle so it's a different that it went hardcore sports which is more approach here you know we're we.

Well -- bottom line -- in the morning radio I'm not going to be talking about twisted ankles. Everything else but I do notice that we've had a lot of talk about down here because the Mets collapsed the Yankees -- situation.

Yeah real late bloomer we got that -- years ago we have that for 86 years we have all.

us over got it all down here now so it actually makes makes my -- a little bit easier.

I'd -- I got time for us for -- which Monday Night Football pick of the week for occupy -- DC you digital federal credit union and -- cheat a little bit last -- give the score over the patriots and then a what does the money at him.

Baltimore in March 1 talked that it per game first I looked at -- just can't. Even though Baltimore is 181 this mister question like 58 to seven escorts to a point to Pittsburgh seven that forget it issues -- but this year settlement Pittsburg but it digital -- like 21 to ten. So I like the -- Monday night and then between. In New England Patriots and I thought I might change my score a little bit on Sunday just because I have a little bit more stuff to do but right now up my attitude is going to be like 412211 delinquent over India it.

I couldn't is really respectable were again on on Monday since we moved them -- to get closer this game get away from Leo. The baseball stuff you would not believe the shift in how quickly it happened. It was euphoria here before you know excited about the Red Sox and it was nonstop routes and the shift just went from one. So the other just like that because of.

I've just got Super Bowl 41 and a half. We -- that we are and that's right -- the -- the two best teams clearly the two best teams in football. And I don't like ticket -- one a and one BI mean the patriots are a different level in my eyes I think there ought to. In Cleveland Indianapolis is two witnesses there have been better at what point superbowl yes.

Our pick of the week has brought to you by DC you proud supporter of the bull precise and foundation what does that website by the way boomer.

You can get all the information about some of the great work to those people -- doing fighting cystic fibrosis and from making the DC you -- go to DC you dot org. For more information enjoy the game this week we'll talk to a month it.

Credit -- just thought -- that's and that's Tung -- he won't go jobs that only got tell us. Monday albeit in this chair maturity isn't a -- that happens every week with the panthers Portland the it I don't look at life.
