Aren't -- for our weekly talk with -- have brought to you by Canada's staples check out the wide selection of -- image last copiers including the MF 4150 that in Upton and 600 PPI color scanning visit your local staples today it will grow aria.

Until Greg guys another regardless of Baltimore. Everything is great it's really windier the Roosevelt 45 mile an hour god it better yet try to does it's going to be if little chilly tonight and you know I don't out going to -- test again have a -- get over to the stadium but it it's it's definitely going to have an effect there's no question about it.

Well if it won't affect -- it was a --

Italians they don't go very well does that put it this is good and that contagious I think it environmental. Factor in favor of the ravens and I.

Other talk a little like your. There's a lineup of trying to beat the patriots are bringing -- nine guys.

Well I would imagine that they're going to have to Tom Brady there's no question about it everybody realizes in this league. In order to have any success against assault sent you gotta make -- comfortable there's no question about technology could do that. And I put more more power to the question is can they do that it will they get to examine. They do expose themselves that -- that they're going to be Aston defensive back to do some pretty tough things and that's play these guys one on one which obviously is proven itself to be an effective.

Oh what to what I watched the Baltimore against Pittsburgh though. Going to get half the Roethlisberger I think -- five or six long touchdowns that he made Susan stepped out of pocket like as a DBs -- just not stand up with the the why receivers.

Well there's no question they're DB that network hurt you know they were planned without McAllister a little while about rolled our power back up Clark had -- game on Monday night. It was a disaster their offense was horrendous Steve McNair was surrenders to season basically for him was in an effect was pretty much over. But to be honest -- the guys I you know their offense is not going to -- do anything tonight this -- again and where the patriot deep bench and get itself felt he cannot start feeling good about themselves shall be like last year last week. The bako -- that the Philadelphia offense so that got to get healthy and not throw the ball but that have been really good aspect -- for the pitchers from the standpoint. -- a very proud deep sense at home adverse conditions. So going to find a lot out about them that but I don't think that they'll but it will be close but you know -- for a reason and and what the conditions the way they are wouldn't be surprised may have for the Baltimore somehow keeps a close for about half.

We're talking about this earlier if Baltimore plays that perfect game defensively all right maybe they limit the patriots into. Fought it out what happened

it's blueprint for success that the 31 points in an 80 yard passing blueprint for success.

Should this but this offense is Baltimore offense gives up the -- also much. At times is Brady going to have an opportunity out there that you.

Well that's the big question you know on ten you know if you don't have Kolb bowler -- beach I mean c'mon I mean that's just not going to happen in every Baltimore fan. Down their man or woman and child will tell you. That there quarterback situation is about as bad as it's ever band and a pure pinning your hopes on. Kyle -- just not going to get done so I would imagine that there will be a few turnovers in the favor of the patriots. Dont we tell our guys that I figured it it's going to be tough but not that there are rough team their physical came in besides the -- they do have a lot of pride but I just thank. By halftime it'll probably close middle of the third quarter our -- I could envision that and I do envision the patriots -- would that.

Rose's ravens defense compare with some of the great ones which in the past.

It's a good defensive not great you know of an -- any help from their offense at least when they were really good in 2000. It was Trent Dilfer was the quarterback Chad interpret the tie it and and -- Jamal Lewis is young and and he was it you know an exciting player they can move the ball downfield and -- control the football mystique that's basically. Played have to David make teed off on opposing offenses it's not a case anymore -- they get older they're still have good pass -- skill guys good cover guys obviously one of the best. Big place victories in the -- and that read so there's no question that they could still play defense their top six or seven defense in football. But they're also it is so bad. But their defense really suffers from an end and that photo -- Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh are great field position because -- so they're often so I I would I would imagine -- some something's somewhat Tibet.

they have a big offensive line. But I older older they have a.

All the real -- you know it's an at all about the quarterback in this game I mean you guys particular deposition. For granted ever since Tom Brady took over outside factor mean you've got to just bored and you feel I was you know great to convince.

Upset at all a lot of that it. In this day days. You need a quarterback that can analyze a game that can pick up pick a prodigy that you kick -- their every predictable lot that your quarterback that can -- you read.

Yeah had a good enough for album there's about the middle lead. In you guys in Indianapolis and indulged -- now it elevate they have teams Eminem quarterbacks where everybody can get behind in every particular they can win. Everybody else I mean from the Buffalo Bills with Trent Edwards and Jason Campbell Washington Redskins yesterday that Gus Frerotte for crying out loud and I mean the list goes on on outstripped you -- built for Vinny Testaverde -- mean. -- Kellen Clemens versus John -- for crying out loud you know not bad it is out there and you guys are lucky yeah I mean you don't have -- Kabul or Steve McNair your quarterback.

It went to save the league would bring him back four year old quarterback I think about it.

We're going to keep -- a joke that he's -- the quarterback position didn't is in trouble. And it is in trouble and really devote all beat two legitimate ones coming out of college his -- Not a big COLT -- and sent out of Hawaii put a prominent and right up there and Boston I mean noses to guys it will. He really closely looked at scrutinize in the offseason. And and really I mean the reason bigger cause offence and in college any Walker's put -- the shotgun. Part of spread offense and much about that would don't make pleasant surprise that the past that best athlete. Is not you know a great quarterback.

What is it just sort -- actually COLT -- game.

You know -- today to run and shoot under June Jones it's a lot of inflated statistics it in and I conference that in. In my sizes. You know took it to major division college conference but it's not the FCC it's -- the -- it's certainly not a big 12 with a pac ten of the Big Ten. It's a lower tier conferences at least following you know you -- offense that defense is that really don't have the speed to adjust to it so. Other a lot of inflated statistics -- Richard. -- pro style offense is suited triple off and I and I just opened predictability.

well in the ball game come up with he has a good game during the in that game let changer during a little bit.

If my eight I mean he's taken out but maybe -- to give -- six foot 3215 pounds bomb you know. I'm just not a big believer in the run and shoot I want to see guys in the pocket delivering the football are reading defenses as what met Ryan doesn't boss and that's what -- brown does -- weevil I guess -- an old school purest but. The game has meant to be played from that position away that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning play -- point almost plan a little bit like that now but you know it to me it's it's all about stayed in the pocket -- your stay healthy that's respect effective. And I'm not so sure that he can do that.

We'll resume is that the defenses -- Harder to read now or I mean.

Other defenses in football professional football so much faster. And they were when Republican you guys who Don loneliness like you don't I had -- that Barbie that nobody you don't have those guys anymore.

They -- my -- and roll into John Rollins Rollins will present all -- respect -- it. One of the most of those a penitentiary leagues as -- government Hebrew could fool for what does a kid from Miami back. Back right to him like he's right. Well -- ripped but I like but don't worry about it Isabel from Disney out kicker out when you see him throw as at. It doesn't get any type of what's --

DL you know -- very about every now he's 26 years old he did a mission that you are used -- he's not like a 2122 year old Jamarcus Russell kind of raw rookie I mean this is a kid that. It is really a grown man who's trying to figure out the NFL on opted not on. Then I watched -- last week I couldn't tell funny thing last week I certainly couldn't 11 from yesterday there.

I'm talking about the game yesterday in my game how -- it possibly can possibly in the season. Patriots -- 16 you know and the team that they're trying to. Great the original record for 72 dolphins the 7 dolphins end -- going always six because it certainly looks like it's gonna happen there.

All they could lose to go -- Cincinnati Bengals last week of the season are deep in my should check you know I don't. It'd be weird deal -- you know this is a weird year paraded football in general on -- Ohio State gone to the BCS championship garamendi got to be kidding me. They sit around watch everybody helped play a 13 game and yet they're going to be it could be just championship that's a that's a disgrace --

Skiers of all it was a complete disgrace is now playing a you know champion in conference championship game and obviously viewed as the -- news as a Big East Ohio State's political almost two months. While playing recently gone all of the rule. -- played Kent State Youngstown -- addicted to regular you may have a better chance when management and at bat.

that it just don't play the other thing. We're talking about with the patriots and we wondered about the giants game and we even -- you about it a few weeks ago giants are locked in right now after that would octave. So it didn't have a situation they lost another running back yesterday. They're going to have a situation more mature couple wants to play a lot of those guys on that 16 game of the season played a wild card game the following week.

That's exactly right there either go to Seattle order the campus so can you might have one team. It has not been a player for in the patriots but yet or have a -- going to play his gut that would bank. And you have another candidate really is going to be trying to be nursing aren't they -- has their guys back there helping him might use that last game midseason as umpire which assuming. You know that there isn't some other team that comes out of the -- certainly a bit of the Minnesota Vikings look like they're going to be good enough to make the other wildcard. The question will be you know will be Arizona you know could still beat Detroit -- you can somehow trying to I doubt it -- what I mean so -- to -- giant to judge probably going to go one out I can't imagine. That people on the road with the weighted Eli Manning has plank in winning a tough playoff game in either Seattle or Denver I've been in Tampa. So you know you're right games 60 to be really weird to -- Bill Bill Belichick my players does all the way to the fourth quarter Tom Coughlin might not play any of those guys simply because you're gonna get him healthy for the next.

Which can afford to. That's right exactly so it's weird deal to really weird deal.

A slow me me I mean I mean you I mean he it is not a well. Watching -- giants it was very conservative an analyst at the end of the gave him a chance to -- we will win and they -- that slant. Two to a -- Boris equipment in the sector in the -- he throws a nice pass -- The thinking behind all that real --

It's pitchers they used to that pretty because the week before Jerry -- the beer giant general manager referred to your manager in an article is skittish. And that's what the last thing that you want to -- your quarterback -- general manager coach or teammate that's the last thing you want to face so. You spoke a little -- turns last week you -- a lot of heat. About being skittish now yesterday basically took the ball out of his hand as he made two bald headed interceptions especially want to start -- One I believe in the third quarterback opinions on the one yard line. So I you know those two interceptions just it just some very big very confused maybe. Because he's throwing too many of those that door mr. that is added 16 or 17 right now plus get a -- yesterday. And I took what they were trying to do feel more accurate surmise that the end of that game when he was starting to reasonably play well where no other team in in the position -- scored those two touchdowns. They wanted to put it on his shoulder now the debate got a New York was. Do they take three days in a row at the end kicked the field all the wins that -- don't have to ticketmaster. Ward they try to score the touchdown they scored touchdown took the ball that Esther. And they ultimately won the games that nobody's really questioning it too much but it they would -- lost had -- give them a great return and rex Grossman's somehow forgot how to score get the ball ends on the fourth quarter. Then Tom Coughlin would come on a lot of heat today.

As strange or even four and a clear cut advantage in the wild card race and he simply because the play the quarterback people who are or upset about the giants.

No question speeds are you -- notified planned out a New Yorkers -- so much screwed a deposition. When you do -- well I know on a particular 17 interceptions result that many interceptions. And you have a game like you have the week before against the vikings of which three of those interceptions went back for touchdowns you have somewhat of a country bumpkin type attitude you know New Yorkers -- dislike. Come on now I mean this is our starting quarterback don't think very many people have to. -- a -- probably Japan right now Eli Manning would be record six and we don't know that's about what that was troublesome.

We don't like what I hate to fall back on on body language refusal to go just if you looked at a community -- some time after the game to a but my god he looks like he's ready to --

And I know that I know and and probably beyond doubt on the radio in the morning trying to defend the kid because I do believe -- he had the arm. He has the active men he just doesn't have what you want to see it the personality of the quarterback does.

All of us life musical artists I'd feel you feel almost like that I think he's you know he's kinda like -- stars around. You talked about you know on the radio.

He had talked a little Vietnamese just. But he never once came out in told everybody to shut up last week didn't didn't go after his you know general manager about being called traditional -- stuff. Which flying so hard. To say and do the right thing he does not want to be confrontational than any other way. And I backed up -- as a -- of power babe cannot be screaming you know I gotta I -- my mind and that I mean that's his personality and many of surmised that honestly this is so ridiculous it's gotten in New York. Some people think that you know since he was more raised by his mom because I just. Is that without I don't know is that was doing television around I don't get bolt -- but to -- his mom was more involved in his. Life and his dad was a little bit more involved in in -- like -- who -- scheduling and all that other stuff. People say he's got -- his -- personality which is. Really if you'd like about it is could be the -- that it comes off -- tends to be a more but tender part of softer god -- not -- that -- to -- quarterback.

I Ron Jaworski said some interesting things this last though -- it it's fascinating to watch the patriots played them he said two things one he said moss looked like watching the today. The film rather the coaches film that -- took some time off during the course you know -- there was no blueprint. For stopping the patriots offense the patriots elected to. Here's the problem obviously use it as motivation and that locker room they're talking about it what are they lost most of -- especially coming off of something like that they plated a -- here.

Well you out loud -- good -- great atmosphere because you -- regular screaming and market and everybody. Blah blah you know although it -- going on on the secretary of the -- and is that the kind of team and they are they continue to bring the best out in you or they intimidate -- a pitcher it's going to be intimidated evaluation of reform. And I think the fact that paid banks -- QB just ripping Alberto qualify but I don't.

Really a real of 81 -- to end up playing now.

That well of course but you know here's the deal. Wes Welker is sort of the forgotten -- all of us did you watch tech -- last week and he was unbelievable house and we were discussing here's going to be a really unique situation. Who was going to make the pro bowl everybody knows Randy moss is going to give a probable ballot for the wide receiver he's ten now with the other three. And I think Wes Welker should be number 2 what about Reggie Wayne what about T. J. Houshmandzadeh what about Chad Johnson one about Braylon Edwards.

That's committed probably -- international loan.

And I'm thinking that you know nobody's taken -- seriously. But you don't you don't have the off such a rabbit it's not for Wes Welker in the things that he's still --

His numbers moment Austria's church variable X. Replicas of last year Miami the only reason here at the numbers because the injuries and he was the only receiver that's a little.

my -- feeling this guy is excited to make an -- how hard it is. To Ron underneath it get away from people would do the right route had a quarterback trust you catch the ball in traffic. Open it up for everybody else -- try to keep benefits and the fact that teams are going to put two guys on Randy moss is no question surveys of leadership but leadership or leadership and had a safety over the top all damn day long. I mean you know I think maybe maybe smallest might have been it was it was the first step Purdue.

I was going to the same thing with.

But -- but Wes Welker is the guy he's the key that makes the whole thing go and if you don't know. Light him up with -- back for your sort of fourth defensive back you have to get eaten alive and -- smart enough to recognize coverages. And you know he'll find the open guys -- walker in my life is has been good if not as it is there's no better than anybody --

Second in the NFL and receptions. It's -- don't believe so I -- reductions type stuff what did you.

But by the way talking about -- late in the game last night Chad Johnson confused as to what down was. Where the stick Wallace.

But that's a project little surprised at all analysts and I wonderful talent compute composure screwed up kid in. You know news is saying that he did last week get Marvin camera after scored his first touchdown in ten weeks by the way. Arm was just just once again amplifies what's wrong with the Cincinnati Bengals know what's wrong with him in general. That it it's always about him it's not about the team you know -- XP pro bowl. Over T. J. Houshmandzadeh that something's wrong because PJ -- been the best player for them from start to finish. And he's been the most consistent and because judge Johnson does those things efforts was -- Towards touchdown to brings attention to himself and extort and somebody else and then you're really going to have a big problem now awkward had already.

I spoke hours Monday Night Football -- of the way preoccupied TCU digital federal credit union and we know the team we just -- How big.

Birdie attempt. I think 38 to ten and I figured the bill bit tighter you don't start at the games can be physical the weather's going to be good. For the other Baltimore ravens my estimation they got a good special teams group guys. I wouldn't be surprised to get a turnover -- but. I just don't see how the Baltimore raven offense going to build America played tonight they're going to turn the football over as well I think 38 Japan fourth quarter run away.

As a Monday night particularly brought you by TCU proud supporter of the oversized and foundation fighting cystic fibrosis and the positive of the patriots go to the suitable obviously. Will do a big party in the four unreasonable requests I've it is autograph the -- him.

I don't a world I don't -- to Iowa added fashionable for it and you know two point. 250 pounds or so we'll stop touching -- why not exactly a but large double -- into that -- hope.

It's so let's admit it happens it happens -- report you know it's always going to try to say objective but it's hard when you watched talked about so good.

Offer viking the DCU way go to DC -- dot org for more information to a game that I thanks for one final thing before let's go get it -- the morning what was talked there about Santana and the Yankees.

Well okay well we're all part about you don't tank Steinbrenner drawn a line in the Senate this before bush hasn't wasted. So I drivers unbelievable on -- young George Steinbrenner now I'll just that and we actually think he's more like Edward G Robinson saying -- sort -- they're playing well out. Check out saying you're gonna -- to -- telecom -- about the Red -- traded.

Over he's going to be a fun I can already see he's going to attic is going to be an awful lot of.

It is it is going to be great for the robbery but supposedly by the -- the -- today the twins was supposed to make a decision not Cabrera that's used in some mid level model leader and that they don't take it then they're going to turn it down and -- in Boston.

I think the Yankees have got to do the steal because Boston's up. We forget that it had set off an upset that the Yankees are off the map but it -- a good deal and look at the picture of the Yankees get it the Yankees are back in business absent.

That the Yankees got of OBL and Santana. -- being long so we use in my Messina

yeah they're pretty good Williams still eligible and probably in the pan. As opposed to restore order.

Correct lineup that's going to score awful lot of runs the the australian business that's the biggest thing the other team's going to take it make sure -- take -- from reality that's what the Yankees have got to do this -- I think if they don't parent that are in serious trouble yeah.

They tell accountability needs somebody to go against Josh Beckett without --

They could let him get away but the let him get a way to Boston that's the.

Does the troops back everybody who -- very very there's no other team that can afford them. Meanwhile the team out there are other than Boston for the Yankees -- the -- that problem but the Mets don't have any body to off.

NATO will be -- I've -- guys next Loyola de -- guys but it will.

right here in the for the fictional of course it's brought to you by and -- staples check -- their wide selection of and an image class copiers. At the MF 4150 it's up but 9600 tonight. Color -- and visit your local staples that it
