Adam Schefter

Speaking of keeping jobs -- well hey Bill Parcells is gone by the football field well that's sort of not really on the field as a coach. But he is apparently when he stepped back into a decision making position shockingly in points less than what were our tacklers and it's going to be for the Atlanta Falcons don't don't don't don't let's see it when it happens on the lead when it happened because -- you know -- go to Atlanta and on not go to Miami maybe maybe it won't. Is no deal and signed and that's why even like you know Morton's and it was a friend of his apparently you know is willing to say he's going to Miami because he doesn't even there's an issue until that name is sign on the dotted line as to whether or not they'll just -- to -- maybe not so much can understand we might have issue that -- interceptor from an adult that -- joining us here on WEEI good morning Adam.

In -- half what is that the press conference you'd never know he's actually going to --

I'd -- I would totally agree with that particular assessment and I was just going to -- so should we. Be led to believe that Miami is in in Atlanta is definitely out.

Well at this time yesterday we were saying that Atlanta this looking like he was likely destination -- Couple -- to remember here nobody tilts it seemed quite like Bill Parcells and it. And nobody's better at drawing it another party to compete for services to Jack up the price on another -- And I think goal hasn't -- with the Dodgers was too jacked up the price the falcons.

Well let me ask you this advocate -- co host here -- John seems to think that Parcells would be motivated to some extent to get back in the AFC east and stick it to the patriots and and jets at some point or another. And I think that had zero to do with this it's probably -- got a lot more to do with what you were just referring to and that -- the price.

I think it they would check the -- the dolphins. -- is actually dead on -- lot at him. About label politics twice a year so it'll be a part of a -- of -- just -- the issue light to take it shot on Italy play somebody like twice a year in a activist mine. -- You mean by that taught you to -- debt that you don't bank.

Absolutely -- is -- our audio drives him. In when you -- in an ego driven business like front offices in the NFL are I -- You know what to you all right I guarantee you that the eagle to drive all I --

That's why almost slipped and I can't do that -- you. Well I've I've just say no thank and that if the falcons job with more appealing -- that aspect of our game back in the if he would not dead draw him and the other thought they had about it with -- developed -- At least the first two times probably maybe the first four times he phases of how entertaining is that.

Except -- he's viewing any easier to get at some point even get to wrote a couple of Sundays Bill Belichick even had a chance and I think that. There's a part of them that. I enjoyed that idea absolutely and to get to go to KC -- he -- to -- check somebody's twice a year. That's the division I division NATO is very well feels comfortable and and he has a home in the Florida area to Jupiter. Again I think man it was his destination and depletion resigned all and I just think that he used. Arthur blank this particular ticket and coincidental worse year than Arthur blank who. As or more faith in fellow man and Arthur blank right now I mean he -- his quarterback Jake. All looks at what dog now that dugout mr. like I don't have any dogs are we talking about and they had a coach shake -- the record for a Monday night game last week. Pictures and mr. Blake you have your coach I'm not going anywhere at a basic you know obsolete and that a -- And -- a week later you go to Saratoga. To put the finishing touch attitude you have to place -- Bill Parcells to bring him back to Atlanta. Only to -- to I think is also there and operate a back which you think you've been -- just like you -- over Alice. Was tilted the buccaneers in ninety still.

He's like the little character in the little Abner strip or -- they had the black clouds following him everywhere with props. That's Arthur blank he's the sad sack of the NFL what do.

Where are you real close and little old guy Greg I didn't start so much success in life and is really -- impressive kind of guy and very likable and determined to turn around their franchise and basically make Pakistan's what happened this year. -- 82 complete flat out miserable year as bad as anybody has ever had a year in the national football.

Let's talk about the dolphins for a second.

I have it back sort of like yeah. -- do you take. Like it is quite stratospheric and and -- so what's the deal you take -- he didn't believe this that you get the troops are at this point -- anybody more.

By the way honey I'm doing it with Bill Parcells had it. But it only to increase leverage with another -- Correct crap. It got ourselves the right guy for the dolphins job because I look at that as a long term rebuilding project and I think of ourselves as a short term guy.

Pitched just remark about eight left in two guys wanted to -- six years right. Zero zero ever -- panic she's had a job specifically to preside over stretch estimate personnel decisions Lamotte coach at. Zero -- a -- a hiring a guy to do so -- that it and number four.

At the age of 67 where may be his heart's not an aunt and my -- say the short term fix it so why would you go after Parcells just because of the name in the credit.

I think credibility can't stick credibility for French judge it's lost it there okay they've loss of credibility recently -- and they're just looking. To infuse their franchise -- some hole at right now they don't have a lot of that so that's what they have to do when Bill Parcells brings them some open some and some. Reason for optimism and you of people in my heavier side right now the idea Bill Parcells to Paris will be giving it -- out of course. That pressures thing but if he does he get did that to date. Would be buying into this decade he has always left teams better off of when he. Took the mold when he got there.

As as you understand it what is the situation with the did the sale of the team what has -- agreed not to do win for how long.

Well a trick question -- he has been looking to sell their team now. How additional impact should utter but it didn't make more valuable to sit back to be another reason that he wants so badly. That Bill Parcells makes their franchise more so valuable as he's tried to sell it over the course the coming weeks and months and that I can -- part of -- still. But it sure Bill Parcells has that covered in church in his country that were budget team -- to keep and do this do that.

Well -- looking at some of his drafting trackers we had to go back and look at what he's done with the patriots and the jets and obviously cowboys and I think what he's doing the cowboys pretty governor this year evident this year in the cowboys weren't bad shape before he doctors so what I think there's certainly improve on the table based on what is draft or in Dallas that he can't. And and will improve the team but the dolphins have so far to go at him and boy I I've got to tell yet. This one is I think it's a bit of a stretch of just.

Well -- eight years -- they used to take Parcells and I don't care if you hire you know a triumvirate of Bill Parcells and Ron wolf in and and al davis' -- days at the bottom line is -- is playing. Quarterback okay we'll Clement John beck are not scare anybody right now. And two off seasons ago that franchise had the chance to go out and signed through breeze or nothing. And they opted to trade a second round draft pick to Minnesota instead for Daunte Culpepper. Okay they go Becky look at dusty sister. He treated too afraid if you treated -- dot tickled to traders said appreciate Rosenfels retreated five for Trent green. And they still they used it to what John beck last year distill. At square one.

To get hang this on Randy Mueller that's why they -- Parcells now.

You know what activity in this particular case the medical step for little -- just want to present his physical last year. Employees do you know watch utilized -- it looks like shoulder really bothered him a while.

You now as he's you almost winning the New Orleans Saints to the superbowl last year.

And I mean it. So much of the sport is about quarterback you have meaning he'd think about. The elite teams in this league okay but it -- stick the best fourteen to Italy this season. The during the patriots Indianapolis Colts Green Bay Packers dealt out Boris. What is the one straight runs -- all four of those teams. Ironically -- corners. Tom Brady Peyton Manning prefer best quarterbacks make it buried an historic.

Before we get off it completely I'm not a Miami I would be remiss a bit and ask what does Atlanta do next.

Mike judge. I don't even -- I he had had that discussion with a few people and eight pilot Steptoe power turned him down last week a group so. It's -- they -- well I would deal if our two point can he is not called -- vocal but my big but to I would go right.

turning down two.

And and I would I would go fire my secretary as -- got galvanize that team at city they can rally behind Tim. And you might be better off in the long run to beat -- frank now he's yet -- GM and there's well because she didn't at a very good rich McKay is out so they ask or to do in Atlanta as well and are likely to be very busy for the holidays.

Singletary though the top of their original list.

Last year he was -- but again sort of like to go coach first then -- MGM first Banco do. -- Every irony of it early actually she's gotta go to begin to get and we can't because we see -- this has worked out from over the last week.

Well this of course now -- the dolphins have been because they just haven't been patriots opponent this week which sort of adds a little extra intrigue at things a little. Extra -- to have what's going on for this Sunday a fact is though is that it is not going to help me immediately but. It just does create some intrigue and -- to this point in time. Is there an immediate benefit is that are immediate boost to the franchise by Parcells getting involved here.

Zero hero Dave put your you know down in the -- securities -- that were -- Saturday I didn't Europeans.

All you're just saying never the subscriptions.

No apparent on my age I'm not so that is Egyptian you know what people fundamental work no -- Saturday that I -- that. You know admitted -- I have to it's a rather significant gains during thank.

I would think so absolutely and we talked a little bit about the dolphins here today and I think just trying to give people a reason to think that it might be decent game the dolphins have lost six games this year by three point so people are suggesting that maybe they're not as bad as one of the thirteen them can. Oh yes they are.

There Rusch right now diligently people to injury you know. I mean if dip in the minority here you have Ronnie brown -- you have Chris chambers there have Channing -- there you have -- Thomas there I like you know they'll -- about what we're. -- that -- right now. He used to obviously have gotten almost marks the dolphins to victory over the patriots.

By the way Jason Taylor's status to I mean I know that he would he did not practice yesterday he was hobbled around on crutches with a bad foot. Do you think that you place on.

I you I don't appear to step I'd say this that there are a lot of people. In Miami who had been. Playing and and hoping to play only because they were so desperate to stroke. And streak of shape and to get them. -- on winning market to get an ad in the history books once they won my first ball lowest they're going to be some guys had to do it up play the next week. They want to.

Dolphins are going to be resting guys the patriot because. They done they needed to do they would tried they want and Dallas is Millwood and the last two leagues that actually makes sense to me by the way.

It did I think there's a guy I think they'll be some golfers don't play like I know all -- Jack Thomas -- Why you -- priority and beat your old age you would not join can't or won't he scored IR. Well because it was important pitch like it's important Jason Taylor is we export to other people that their that the knuckle down in the history books that they want. Additional steps are pretty stroke I can't get hit -- like I have.

Well I thought they could be treated like they're Super Bowl later ravens did that seem to work should be but it won't.

Nine I don't think I don't going to be like temple site.

so that does lead us then to the possibility pursuing sixteen you know the following the against the -- giant of course of the giants win. This week and finally do claims that last playoff spot or their playoff spot in the NFC Adam. They have nothing to play for the following regardless of the patriots could be going up against two quarter gold lame ducks the next two weeks.

is no question that it happened and that recovery will -- I don't think went onto a weapon against total stood at giants don't have had this habit of point these -- and it's sent. If you think that their automatic game on Sunday at the Buffalo Bills that there's no way it is TV's really struggling it was treat people to fracture established last five weeks it was Mathias Kiwanuka. For they've lost Derek worked their luster shock at least keep people to keep positions. Buffalo -- even tougher venues to play in this season National Football League. York is really I think physically and emotionally mentally did they know that there -- going to tank and it they'd lose this weekend. Wild I say this you don't want to -- the situation where to make the playoffs you must beat to do with the patriots. That's not a good situation pretty cute -- and that's the giants' basic statement Sunday at Buffalo Bills.

That would make the game a lot lot more interesting though I think if you know I'll on the -- bills now just having heard that in thinking about it okay great -- that the giants need to win let them come with their best stuff the next game the -- happens.

Yeah well they've it and it would certainly provide another subplot as just another one or even did it.

And give any problems with the pro bowl selections who was the biggest snub and your estimation.

I'd like everybody said Fred Taylor and it -- an even bigger picture how wasted debt to zero jaguars in your -- years.

I don't get that I -- that was the start of may in fact the only that the ironic thing here and I'm starting rob but I just say that. Jason Taylor is the only pro football player in Florida that made the probable.

Yes -- that dolphins had more global players that they need to buccaneers the jaguars to buy that he's done so something's wrong with that but. To me what happens in case that says he usually use that is sort of rallying cry and they tend to get. Choi went April -- but to be Fred Taylor should have made it didn't Joey Galloway should be. It'd -- didn't. And those guys have never been to a pro bowl which sort of believe being desperate Taylor. As a -- career rushing yards or yellow is important -- for receiving yards. And beat wonderment to approval pattern I don't quite get depth but that's the greatest Mario Williams should have got pretty used intentions at this particular point time there's players you could make. Medication for -- that but. Wes Welker will be an obvious -- collection. --

And I guess -- collection is good I was hand for that here yesterday -- it killed me for saying all why would you say Welker should go you homer you but I will look. He deserved to go he's gonna end of setting the single season record for catches on the best team maybe ever in pro football and he's not a pro --

It regret the problem is I mean it was just break it down okay. Does he deserve to go over Randy Moss.

No not yet thought about that is that is assured that this dish just racially. No no she deserves to go over to push up. I don't know.

I think you can make -- Morgan are more of an argument just because of the Bengals and what they haven't done this year we.

Braylon Edwards. I'm sorry -- and everything worked out Stan I tell you more tattoos that Braylon Edwards Tom Brady thrown -- I I don't.

huge Wes Welker -- Huge I think he's been incredibly valuable I think he's one of the great underrated players in the game I think he's were peripatetic nature to think that I think it's phenomenal player. And he can't tell me that he deserves to make it over in those --

Absolutely fourteen yards receiving he's at the eight touchdown catches on and you want him he's really you want to roll it back on his guy for that his parole. So report with a pro bowl selection absolutely a brilliant it soldier and still put up the numbers you can Manny for being a good deal was there right. -- offseason that would season he was the patriots running game you're crazy but you don't realize that. If you don't have Wes Welker over the middle of a lot of those instances what is Tom Brady went. I'm pretty goes to because you know he can he can depend on intimate that makes him valuable we have against here I don't know -- I won't be -- up on this after. That's the -- helping out out of they help you out their welcome -- they deserve to go for the big word anyways walker fan. My only point Adam was my only point was that if you had to choose one of those you going to add somebody -- team yet we will with the makes money off the right.

Yeah that abstraction okay.

And my choice was well. My particular opinion would be I'd replace it replace Edwards and put walker in there -- you -- because you've -- Braylon -- play how much. 45 games at.

Marriage it's -- absolutely yeah pray whatever it's my talking total stud this year. You know it'll start.

Yeah I don't disagree with that I I didn't say that he doesn't deserve to go what did you have to make an inclusion of somebody -- you antics -- off. And I would say that of the four that may did Edwards is the one I think that he actually compares some what to do. He doesn't compare the other guys I'll agree with -- there I yards receiving he's behind in yards per catch what is behind that that I know four catches -- numbers.

Dictators that catches that Braylon Edwards has made this year while I'm meet I think I watched and and acrobatic and dramatic and I won't -- we're a much in this.

Cleveland's ten and six patriots sixteen and well there you go.

Yeah knowing it that. You've already predicted the next two games and.

You know I enjoy being here you're arguing it's like Joe dreaded day to just a -- bunch.

away argument I hate that about arguments that the big -- turn into a situation where like this respecting Welker accomplishments I don't understand what he did on -- you want to take them -- nothing taken the wrong -- off on the right of the of the the other important that you're you're -- where that's not question the question was who went my -- your -- Body off the quiet nobody. There aren't that your question it Welker deserve to be in the pro ball at somebody off that list get off the fans and pick somebody up before you prefer to be on the fence. Adam thank you very much and thank you --

A lot take you very much happy holidays to you and everybody out there in the Boston area you gotta make
