Came on the radio station and said there is a 99 point 9% chance. Peppers would not be a member of the Patriots in the upcoming year. Joining us on the line right now is a guy who covers the Carolina Panthers and -- at the opportunity. Seed Julius Peppers play on a consistent basis. Charles Chandler of the Charlotte observer is joining us on the AT&T hotline. AT&T your world delivered
    game appears she. Would have been that restricted create. It. The battle Jordan Gross on the very -- the Atlantic. Apply their franchise tag of course plot Julius. The bat well they in changed dramatically now the Patriots are there at the -- Philadelphia. Audits and kings that Al and about. Draft ammunition. At least make it interest. But I just just not sure that there's going to be a scenario where that I don't question that the Patriots would like to get a bargain deal.

    all they want you and we go to bed rest the morning. Julius Peppers will not be an -- Patriots -- And it will happen for all the reasons that you mentioned. Partly because of the pending contract situations of those other Patriot players partly because. New England would have to invest enormous sum of money in Julius Peppers . Part because it would take like habitation because of that I know the word on the street is let him go this second round pick that. Think that they got from Matt Cassel the 34 overall selection in -- that would seem to make sense but. There a couple of technicalities to point out first and foremost. The Carolina Panthers. Right now are not allowed. To trade Julius Peppers because he hit -- this franchise tender. When Matt Cassell signed his franchise tender. That gave the Patriots the right. To trade
    enormous sum of money that you're going to have to invest in Julius Peppers for starters you're going to talk about a deal that. Basically changes the dynamics of the salary short short in the locker room. When you've got pending deals coming up with Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork. You're talking about a deal that. I think Woodson Julius Peppers . Is a great player but when he talked people -- believe -- he flashes it is always come through when it matters
    How assure you that Julius Peppers is not going to play the Patriots next year. 99 point 9% short while while.

    Chris discussed the possibilities of Julius Peppers being traded to the Pats

    julius peppers found at 1:48, 3:24, 4:14

    doesn't make a lot of sense. For the Patriots. To bring in. Julius Peppers . He's a great name me the big name right front I don't -- Iran you know I just I don't I don't
    players they do a great job anyway. I'm I'm not sure. I Julius Peppers . Had a tremendous wonderfully scored. And does that mean you can't play football obviously look at his numbers guy at four and
    free agency and they haven't gone after the Albert Haynes worth the Julius Peppers would be -- category. Not the Fred -- nodding a terrific player. Great signing in Joey Galloway. You know Leigh Bodden . They they've. They're presenting teacher Sanders yeah Williams. You know I think for many Patriots fans. And and especially those. Who just work who have been looking for some reason why ballot checked it -- yet because what he did was wrong. And and -- Jerry's mind especially somehow this would justify. The trade of Cassell and Vrabel Kansas City for the second round pick in you know if -- and -- second round pick for Julius Peppers . I I think at times because Belichick is so smart and he has. We have a tendency to give him like supernatural

I expect the big shelled live down here it Gillette stadium lower level with the efforts relish the idea also -- much -- is always. I've forgotten the coach brought to you by you know the fight. Leave it little skirmishes to off -- the whole time you've in the cold we deal with coach is what we do with children copy of the couches brought do you like Dunkin' Donuts. America runs. On -- typically. The year -- in nicely what are they what are they decorate. No one's my parents 40 sevens wedding anniversary as a minimum of elected so it's going to be hurt him too broke to me you. When how long you keep -- WQ there. Hopefully through September we're currently sit down -- pass over the rocky when the rounds of the child through so at least -- What you would what did you do for the year the days off talked last week about spring and the kids.

You know it down and so Stephen both girls at Rutgers -- Bryant's team went on Saturday the brooks. It's a little muscle football this afternoon. So -- an awful as a true for the throwing -- who couldn't who should want for Earl.

It was a it was a looking at the same ticket do you and you. I saw that they pictures via the paper that it working in everything else can get away from when you're god is undertaken last month when when you're actually working. And then once more. So of globally -- Kind of put -- public -- playoff picture I have put to death with emotionally get away shut it down and just. Because the bush talked about that -- you know they. They were able to get away from -- immediately get you know such tedious schedule what you need to just. You know closer self -- or any fear of oh. You've been when -- on such a rule like this from your guys whose focus on being away for 45.

There's well I think each week in a guy a year -- your own challenges in new challenges but I think the big thing you know we've been donut here for a long time for pre season games. Cup -- training camp and and nine regular season game so 1415 weeks of football you know ago like that. At some bumps and bruises that -- useful comma so Troy brown it was a replica hugged her look prevailed for a first time -- you know good territory is. -- looks like Troy and -- it's. But there was could have back out there that's enough there on the field and you know so it goes you have three weeks sorrows of those two weeks to decide that we can get tickets to him. Did you break down anything in the films -- that you might have missed during the it is enough time to kind of go over everything. Ariel I think if all things that we we need to work on and we've you know we've talked each you know -- player about the individual things that they can do or what there. And maybe goals are for the rest of the season power you know things that they we want to emphasize that -- and now we've looked on the coaching and and you know schemes somethings who want to do more wholesome one at -- less maybe and throw out and and that same time we're you know different for buffalo so we've we've got a little bit everything for the weaknesses was was tackling at some instances in that zone. Before so I think -- some things it pollution is generous on the fences and knows something is there any reason you can point to after -- some room. Not good enough coaching not good enough plan -- get a better job there you know that's on the we've been working -- we've we've added emphasis that. The last several weeks both in meetings and and now more plays on the practice field and more continue to do that we've got to get better as one of the things you guys did all the years. -- so good defensively can make mistakes and they want some teams like ball was playing Pittsburgh. They had they had Roethlisberger tied up for a sack in the -- drop coverage because a study anatomy has as big pass plays or didn't have contained most of the things that that make the -- you know you pointed out based -- work function very well -- play fundamentally sound. How close to we've played you before as far as fundamentals go -- you hear the stew ST for -- well I don't know I -- just let that -- oasis work an improvement so it doesn't matter where we were last year too where we're at now can do make it better so that's that's way emphasis.

We ask you again about her regulatory clarify some amateur I understand it. -- until the 28 to activate him. On on this team if you don't do that but 20 and you cannot bring him back. For the rest of the years that correct yes that's okay what can you bring him back on the roster. And then not dress him in any one of those that let let's say the next couple of games and not a really -- and bring him back game 13 game 14.

Hurry pressure I want the players on the 53 man roster than you can trust him not just that make a difference if he's not on the 53 man roster than you. Have the finally get up there and and the PP case that window closes and a couple weeks of if Tony is -- review would you consider still using him on both sides you know playing offense and defense. What's is activated I would say at this point really the emphasis is on on offense so. -- spot -- enough we have these QB his sixth seventh well right now I think the main thing is this. You know for him to be out there -- his first -- person and start practice them you know suit looks like and go from there do you think that that David and Brady shall limit he'll on the field. But.

It's NFL's top for a bit of confidence what he goes to improve towards probable for -- while ago when we're talking about the -- last -- in the colts chargers game the inadvertent whistle. In which the ball was still. Loose it was bouncing off somebody's body and therefore it clearly was they fumble in -- whistles called. And therefore they -- that the life. If you ever had conversations with these officials about the in Everett was because if you blows up like and the guys blowing it away from the line. Then you take out any opportunity of really getting that played right in the long run could you you've got no access to the video you can't you know you can't use the video. And and challenger. I mean it seemed to me that there was no reason to call it as the ball was loose and running around clearly choate. You can hearing that the whistle was blown as the ball was rolling around.

Yeah I didn't see the play on but that is the rule that they -- than that's that's that's and hopefully -- an eight. Thank everybody knows you know missiles -- in the mistakes just like coaches make them players than. -- and announcers you know dale that I his head and it you know and that's what happens and that's that's the -- would that be an emphasis -- in -- situation like that shy away from the whistle. Because it could have that dramatic. You know of adrenaline to him. Well you know that that's related to be you know talked about by by an official in on Hampshire that. You know when they blow it and you know what with the deciding factors for them all that is on mature now. Oakland the contingencies that one of calls a multiple Lewis and so -- it's -- now they have wanted to. But Indianapolis when they had the -- that stood up and look like he stood up quick motion Indianapolis. Right that's that's that's it acting like sensible can't do with the with the it has the pretty. More methodical. Well yeah the rule is that anything that simulates a snap it is does not legal whether it did or did in is that the judgment call by the officials. You know they'd they'd judges however they -- and that's that's their hope they don't work got him. You're I don't already -- jump -- sort of upside or. -- big -- and watching you watch davis' seem like I it's some and so for a there's an interesting you know saw the end of an excellent humans we -- that particular discipline and true. Via the you respect going to make every kick some.

Still a good. In the -- when you when you look at it these games on on the buy we can and well these -- you watch some with the family by yourself. How do you approach that you actually. Look at at the same way your your break him down -- breaking it down as

naive to him again yeah -- enough to watch in suits now. Get a feel the flow of the game but knows terps break -- so now at this tivo thing go back and forth go through that plane back important. You know -- I don't know -- but I -- my -- put it -- I don't cut -- on the as a coach that does it drive you more crazy in the UC something happening news on him it's it'll. Figure out exactly why. -- nine you know -- much the financial rules. It you know it's not that big thing you can do so whoever wins wins or loses loses you know if that caught up -- Again just the you know kind of get a feel for the game of close games when he watched on tape you in -- does cents for a those scores the situation momentum that's. Does its interest inflated -- that we Maria let's let's not we look at the film all the C's quarterbacks the and they -- the ball on the go -- you don't know the coverage or any really don't know kind of drops a taker took Todd evaluate. What type of past -- the running total complete medical -- close cropped. But when you -- him in the old Buick -- always view you're. It almost a severe injury you know analyze it and that's the only dissenting you know watching college games. And then sent blitzes -- it was positive. I'd pick in the draft order and you you -- deep -- TDs that's -- ago. He watched the Pittsburgh game against Cleveland. I saw some of that and hustle some that's surprising augmented Cleveland -- dominance seemed. Well in a visit to long kick returns. As San Diego did last night -- it's tough loss for Cleveland on their opening in the Pittsburgh -- comeback. And made it is negative and in other they're pretty good do so. So notes -- you know it's it's being Estes mentioning games. Diego's Steve -- watch him -- rose zero last year it seemed like something once philosophy in his just watching him as a as suspected he doesn't seem to get the zip on the ball like he atlas human christmas not mr. -- and -- in.

the -- dreaded going up we're usually try to do the right right Sammy tried to punch it out of Arizona just couldn't get out at like at least you know. That was a killer put me tried to the we'll jump wanted to two point before if they get the ball six point -- to jump on the soon to be the logical thing to do much do you look around at the at the rest little league where you war right now and look at some of the teams that are. You know Hillary -- at all that don't make any difference ultimately and his control that we play -- prepare for ballclub so that's. The rest of it is that the whatever it is little thicker so -- You mentioned buffalo were 14 -- they also. A couple of very close to seven to dead -- easily close that was on -- Alice they had Dallas and both those and they were. You know until last public and -- that aren't so good to a tough losses

and the it's not -- earlier there. They're playing their schedule but -- forwards is for Winston food is that these is that the way you'll you'll approach your team this this week with. You know the -- to this is a team that flew that flight hopeful that Mario first five sport.

Well I think Buffalo's doing -- does you know it -- present -- definite challenges -- I mean first of all there there's good things in the league return kicks and curses -- great on ponson. Knows them he is a problem in the on the kickoffs and you know very good on special teams coupon good kicker so that's a problem you know offensively today. Amateur in the ball over the one fumble one or two times the whole year's. You know they they don't give the ball up very easily you know Lee Evans has come back in -- is. Become much more involved in the offense and he was earlier in the season -- went with terrific player outstanding and our offensive line is it is much improved from last year the offensively that are they're taken a ball away and -- fast and you know many points only given up. Hardly any points on first quarter so -- you know they -- bit eventually get on top four. You know make it very. You know -- back and forth game and you know it's hard target control the game against them and made it an effort job you know defensively not -- Olympic ways of getting some turnovers and and now allow points that's made things. You know one of hands -- through phases they're not in -- to give him an outfield when you know yes -- played very much like the redskins' season in Indianapolis. This among those those two went through a lot of pressure on them. Quarterback in the line that night and they move stance thoughtful which yes. They do that they they're there they're fast they're very fast linebacker and then in the past on the front. And you know that -- winter down -- involvement -- other -- and Bronson they puts a little bit name -- played some zone applicable different types of zones and they're good they're in other of their groups a football team -- paper on and is that an outstanding job that team. There you know had a couple tough breaks means for global code number I mean -- has been through a situation like that difficult couple heart breaking losses but. As a -- and they come back and and play good football fund.

War in new practice Tony Romo when he at five interceptions and guys he's played. Virtually you know while a ball since. It was the speed of that defense and the ability of the linebackers and decrease the clothes on the era receivers wasn't just Tony Romo out of bed it was the defense put pressure on him. Entry and in -- of -- that play good defense but very good they announced there it's of their offense than an -- mistake you know they'll pick it off one NF. You know we we played well -- the first time you know. With some of the players back and and that that in planet game think that'll. You know it certainly is this makes them better you know that it got so that's the gophers lineman linebackers so they're you know there. The building a better personal than really what we song first and don't forget this this is -- the original home of the political stuff with pop music and stuff through and through

they -- their flowers that I knew you know on the stairs and I -- that's why I think there's a there's a lot of them but now hoping that game 21 night game of got to believe you know this is their chance to really that really -- and beat the rebels in. And there is it seems to -- when you talk to players about those but the game players and teams are good that seems to be their chance to let friends and relatives see them play. For some reason teams seem to rise that occasionally play those big national like.

Well that I think -- played well you know recently I think that's the most -- worse some part about the old Lowell situation is how well they played in recent weeks and ensure that a lot of confidence that got a lot of continuity and and you know they're going to be tougher problem Soviet. -- Hampshire -- I'm ready to go and and they're physical and they can score points and they can return kicks and they play good if.

Talk about returning kicks they have been very good at doing that for quite awhile right now -- dimension parachute and -- Lot of coaches like to try to kick the ball away from guys and teams will be tried to do with Devin -- in Chicago. Grade what determines how do you determine how you play especially if a guy has had tremendous success like a guy like Roscoe Parrish.

Well when you you try to kick the all of sideline it's. Well once daily saw on you can keep the ball out of the players fans kickoff that's -- can't pick it out of bounds you know and it pretty heavy price on that so you can you can do that in the downside is and he kicked out of bounds -- sure you don't get any thing and a few. Don't get it out of bounds then he's got the ball and he'd run with a so. You know that the tendency probably -- you're gonna get out of bounds you're gonna have a short of companies like -- material short enough you know that perfectly so that's a downside to get more distance than and that opportunity to get more field position he -- nobody picked you know the risk of the challenge of him in that would get him. There's certain books on certain the most return guys certain guys. Like the ball in the certain position I mean is there is they're not because not that it's more a question of really how you feel you match up against. That particular team and the returner in and made the style returns that they run. And you know how how -- York -- you can do it I'm part of the directional kicking problem is some kickers don't correctional keeper well. You know some guys and and placed the ball -- in a certain area with relative Likud consistency in other guys can't you know they can kind of -- it you know -- and maybe high -- and long you know trying to place the ball directly it's so some are better than others so that that factors in -- Nolasco and runs doesn't run he runs the road all the more would be privately with -- on the -- a real sure -- his big thing is longer passes last year it was a couple phenomenal passes. But he does have a good strong now with some deep -- national armies is that Griffey east is active in the pocket -- eight and -- any -- throws. I'll think there's any question about his talent. -- lynch. Is is Agassi -- sprained ankle -- it appears -- what -- you today real heads a guy finds the -- real well exit you know cuts it's a hole in the fly. He's good -- everything pretty. He's got great balance he's quick he's fast he's very strong for size he's not real Paul guy. So he gets under you know gets on people it was a good leverage got good vision you know cut back bounces out. He certainly he sees an outstanding back after the ball well he's tough and spacey in. He can make a good tough yard and the around the goal on that on third down go to in the open field screens draws shovel passes stuff like that. So they get on the ball lot of different ways and he's he's our got -- an -- tackle.

What Thursday Thursday back to practice with Booth -- the bye week yet to -- that a shakeup the call was only does it all reserve report which focused. I think everybody is you know try to try to go out there and do good job at their job done -- you know -- contact. You know that's an individual drills -- it's -- and angels and you know the build towards. You know good competitive practice there you know we've we've got three more days and you know we got off to Pittsburgh today -- long ways to more practices Wednesday Thursday Friday. Everything from buffalo. Take advantage of you know tomorrow Tuesday you know make sure it -- the Miami game and and then and information about -- as a progression of a judge Jackson coming along last couple weeks -- in. Good good and -- said that's celery strong you know few good weeks together and he's news than good job Vietnamese use. In pretty good shape when he came up there you know physically he's -- Ran well caught the ball well and you know -- a lot of scout team obviously you know gamer or defensive guys you know on problem. Would two balls off to a schedule yes arsenal Tuesday and -- there will be that I can we knew coming off while I was like this do you. Up the practices at all T do anything differently than you do normal week. Well we did today because --

Normally would practice on Monday right today it was. Finally going to a game -- game that you know Connolly came with some more physical practice where we you know could contact and you know work on. On things that you want to work on and at school lines running in let's pick up stuff and then. You know ticket sales and come back on Wednesday that sort of have a normal week but it will we've already done it starts today in terms this report of the things balance or. We'll be ahead of where we normally are on Wednesday. When the eight -- if we don't really get report but when that don't usually do while I buy people little longer slogan we have -- guns shall comets came out last week that event. Are you anyway well I've you know I've known coach who along time in my you know what that one over -- in Ohio. Long before I was around them you know I knew who true and I came in the league instantly five is -- mind olazabal more. And his kids Monica -- course Dave Lewis -- coached Cincinnati Cleveland tremendous amount of respect for him in this looked up to an apples and views of the Baltimore colts and and coach there so nothing but respect for for coach who of his career was accomplished and and he's in front of his opinions.

But I didn't backtracked Olympic -- he has not initially. There's respect and I know your relations that you from the human that we won't put up while they probably much of that tocqueville is. A lot of it. This stuff is going to happen that people are very protective of what they built. And so maybe it taken some shots because they're just really protective of what we've accomplished.

Well again I I don't know but it took could feel about that nothing but respect for him and and what he's done for this game and and what he's done for me personally he seized an a good friend and because give me some good advice along the way and again that I have -- the coach against them too many times that nothing but.

Which it -- guys we have mine who have been when they lost the first room that when he came from Baltimore to buy those my tenth of one. I was pleased to. Okay resolute group and I look at your guys for you guys are are are obviously not locked down how do you. Keep this idea oh oh perfection of their head how you. What exactly do you go through -- One game at a time plus people what's the that'll show actual aspect of keeping these guys focused on. Well what you have to do you can't open -- newspaper -- turn on TV whatever without people talk about the policy.

well you know we went through this before what do what enrollment book of world knows who knows you know it's the same in. The and accurately too concerned about that -- one game week we can do it that the and so. Caller in June whether -- talk about we. Weakness surface and the that's that's where focuses. They Tedy Bruschi -- comment you know the years ago. We won 1 once that's over a lot of great -- went -- and again this -- in Barcelona one in the -- you were ago when the next one. The word the ones before the ones after -- I have a throw -- called we lost the ball. You have perfect record through the perfect --

Motorola won't won 11 times in road that's a cut at a time right now for the MVP Volkswagen dealers coaches question of the -- right now. The seventh MVP had a double -- others. Our wherever -- Get tough like now with you Peter I'm always the seven MVP VW dealers are offering oh HM this German engineering eight speakers CD power windows. And more for just the park's opening nine month visit MB EVW dot count. See which Volkswagen dealers offered this special deal I'd ego coach rob for blame. Would like to know how -- develop such an interest in lacrosse do you find it has a lot of similarities to what

no not my interest in lacrosse camp on grown up and Maryland witches were going to hop -- for the sport there -- Wilson. In donate news national champions 67 years and wrote their -- the 60s. So and you know or some great you know great tradition them their Maryland Hopkins for two and then navy. You know so good game -- wait plated and great school and icicles and so -- comes from Africa should we root route to put Neifi -- notre. Well I have. Ran personal affection for early personal -- let me have you talked to him since wood and he just -- them tough time observation an over but I thought throat you know houses. As the one hold on mentally. Walmart or target contract there's like every and that's all it I mean it's crazy down there -- you know his young team I think there. They're working harder trying to get better in -- by an audience and so.

It doesn't have that -- and I went back what I -- there will approve of it here so. We're advocate now 44 record of the game into victories over 30 which -- his old. I don't Cabrera -- get duke actually there want to as well affect -- organized battle. So read my question for you though it -- just let me know here you know here in buffalo and Edwards is healthy and most open. Would shoot back if if they're if everybody who's going to want to sit that would be he has always in the pocket he -- two million when. Couple games Los Angeles before couple big passes a figure which has more poison. -- doesn't look like -- if -- brought his rehearsal ball floated through an officer you have to collect data sample statistic over his grace and.

I'm impressed how confident -- rouge good moment for what it was almost like a focused. What's -- Questions like. That's it's kind of like the professors -- threat. I just thought -- if you like Jessica such questions wing via MVP Volkswagen dealer like colonel VW last world. Or Wesley VW -- nicely equipped -- ages or just 179 a month while we're happens before -- which in in going in Europe in the an awful looking forward to that. Good -- flown summit with -- this direct line up excellent -- while the waited there being the American about it but there wanted me. Nomar the most part because of the towns seem filibuster in the good news is the good news is that Fred will be up there to offset the crowd noise with buffalo also brought the -- screaming. One guy -- without them.

Road is still looking awful lot of you have had the pleasure of going to buffalo for a we would go there every year. He's still but there is getting kind of old model Buick I don't think through what -- on those giant women. If you walked on the street without told someone we as I mean someone recognized and seal it I wanted to but Steve it's not fair that you have to column you're just doing nets at that it is below that our bullpen could you -- dragons. I don't sit back here next Monday
