Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

I joining us -- the full months right now is a guy who's himself a championship -- super blowout. Did it would be that was the patriots Elliott -- at Carolina and their. And he's he's really I'm really disappointed in the dropped out in my eyes a couple of notches is now he's a member of the media that's it words.

And I especially the oh I only heard I heard they did. Work but haven't heard it officially --

Have you except for a paycheck definitely introduce super small Christian Fauria -- is a commodity is working for Comcast right now I'll start that's you know that's that's a technicality right there at -- opinions already on the air if you struggle W the highest rated.

Ability that was going to understood -- lead of slowly picking. It's going to -- now and it was going to be what happened out there I don't know.

The remotest. I I like -- drew says that he would the first question I have for you is that you know those guys in the locker room as royals -- certainly good percentage of we're talking about this in the last now. Do you think there's any chance once -- That these guys are going to get caught up in any. Of this outside -- now with Randy -- because in any way distraction those guys.

Well I don't know -- them play better see them more distractions. The more controversy that account set in the better they play it's. And whether electorate in the -- you know you know -- or should -- a mind of discipline and to get -- that they have but you know. Looking at looking at from the outside well it's not going to matter you know it ought that play out it's going to matter.

Chris would you imagine that the -- teammates or even Randy is going to talk about it anymore.

It's it's if it's only I don't think it. Oh at the private matter now though it's -- matter now I don't think I don't. That I stay out of my business and -- sure would dealing. We're not stressed and it was let them and in -- Peter there's going away airport about.

Well great -- one other thing that we're talking about him. Having 210 court hearing January 20 he does not have to be right physically his attorney could represent. Christian I was in a locker room yesterday and I'm curious about this one moss came back out to talk again. About two thirds of the way through. The stereo in the locker room went up very loud and I didn't see who did it. But my question to you is as much as you know like you say drinking punch and it's not going to take away from their focus guys know what's going on was that somebody's message to tell Randy enough.

Well you know that also though maybe it was coincidence that was like really picked apart so to two people about it -- I don't know anyway you know which it happened but it oh -- difficult to do you know they're they're an art especially at -- situation like that is true up.

But I guess my broader question is like Steve said is it I mean guys know what's going on it's on the front page of the paper and everything. What is it talked about it all -- how is it talked about what you guys or is it not is it all football.

I you know it's not the awful ball you know what you enter that locker room you. Your personal life out of there and spent way. It all you leave your locker room and businesslike at all. -- we have talks you know guys would put it under a separate the two you know would -- Altman. Card like go outside everything that went on at work is less they're good -- anything and should should. Work are going to look at George paid job or go out what's going on so -- figured -- stupidity or.

The way you know to -- the media were. Probably not about colds and more yeah yeah. It of -- Outside the line redo it over but -- I love the Lakers when they went on below the review team it's you know why don't inspired well yeah. --

Are you -- did not play the chargers this year or the patriots you know both of these teams. Pretty well how do you seen this one playing.

Well you know I know he -- out of the chargers it's just you know although like charters that. Eat a like they're response and it it their way I didn't quiet but they just don't out firepower they don't -- not they can't go distant. -- Load -- deep down last week at the jaguars. I thought I'd finished like at third set at 3420 game -- or -- that it felt like that it's just oh my idea. But like everybody else -- three out on the Peter won't score every possession. And it is but I -- the third quarter point and it must overcome.

A do you see this being different in four of the patriot offense. In the way Jacksonville played them last week really cutting out there outside receivers and really over playing them but they're not going to do that this week as they've got to commit people. To chase down Brady do you see them opening up the patriots being able to open up their game a lot more.

And yeah I think I think that the chargers. Meet somebody in charge for now going to have to take care and at least one major receivers alone. Pressure eight a bit then at that -- because -- you want it low party which way to -- He didn't want you know technique I don't equate it I don't remember I like Ellis I. Doubt though but I'd make the best it's do you know challenge you know get in the face you know be aggressive on the wide receivers champ. -- they're actually at like paying off English -- pay up crucial that make life you know and and he give away a couple of a couple of penalties that don't. I had a difficult -- because that's really always going to be.

Chris short answer -- Bill Belichick preferred Steve talk about he played form I've asked other veterans what it is about the guy mean. I don't see him as a guy that you want to run rule wall for what does he do as a coach to make you have so much faith. In him as a -- what is it about him as a more.

Everybody -- I don't I had nothing to do with running the rule law we're coach I don't think that's key. Let's eat able that we put in the market players that that wanted to run -- but they're still brother got. In my opinion coaches developed apart from or. You know -- do everything right which position but what compel the players and the players and game. Accurate accurate I -- the -- tragic.

So does -- do what does he do. What does he do that so special and so different -- makes you guys so successful.

I think eclectic bunch of pain you know and I couldn't look comfortable I think everything I think just the way of the -- late in. How we whether it's it's do you think she's so miserable -- eight. You're really guys can't get stronger whether it you know an outside source it's like in any situation it you know how much -- together you know and you know it's like you go out because it or attract you know and basically they just hit you like -- And okay -- you know whatever -- all different like it's -- brother because -- got -- At the national view that's part of this paternity so expect just by you know put your name and -- You have to go attractive event adept brotherhood it's been born and and you basically -- a particular.

A Christian have been you part of some great patriots teams. How does this team compare to the teams that you -- we know the -- from the although this year but overall from what you've seen the season how -- compare.

I you know first game -- pepper. -- But I mean it's just. Personally I felt really had a good but there's just -- part I think what is -- You know with Welker and -- I think really to beat pitched big big difference maker that. Equate talent -- out what they're. And is doing some something great somebody yell but for the most part juggernaut I that make reported that it played good enough to it down.

Howdy howdy to stop I was there any way to stop -- you mentioned a few minutes ago. About turnovers and I agree with you there and that's the one way chargers do win games with turnovers but you don't expect this team. To turn the ball over much -- is Brady to throw. Excellent game this week out it.

You know it like just out of pocket about Indianapolis the first summit played the chargers -- sometimes. Just wait for the morning news outlook on most days doesn't you don't know what region just had a bad day. It's that he thought right does not being worked out. Once the area it is. By the by the I don't an eagle rock an -- wind -- certainly -- today you know -- in Jordan helped. It up to get and that's pretty much it. He could not going to war went out. On the patriot and it -- the -- because I you know so. Hopefully at stake got to make turnovers but he one to be great but other. Top it off the field on third down and it -- that they are they Yugoslav. Stop mostly local -- Did you have to in the third -- skeleton -- good. Rob don't feel I'm on that just puts so much stress that you eat -- in your offense has no they had been edited it in the match. So that it that I'd -- out of you about much but it all go a school.

If you -- it now on the other side of the ball. If your savior offensively and what exactly you're attacking on the defense.

I like -- I like wade Jacksonville attack Demeco I updated at all and that but I really I don't -- my -- brother out you know and you know they want well try to take part they're going to let you know. Exactly coming. But everybody kind of -- there'll be. -- offensively but it could be that that -- but it or about you know it's it's it's it's offer for the pages that are -- work.

Christians Igor all chance he stuff. How does that exactly worked in the lock room -- already been talked about his put up. The big guy for San Diego's mouth and off as a line this year about how does that.

weird call yesterday I don't get hit sometimes -- people learn a lesson that basically being. Sometimes he's got shut out the -- you know lectured talky mature plate Peter you're talking to negate that the special work like this that looks forward I had not -- you know it's going to get one more big if I have about. You know I don't know the he loaded at linebacker given out.

How does that work in the locker room is bill bring it up is it written on the bulletin board do you wait.

That's in the addressed towards being. Believe me I'm an adult and that he's a guy that looked at -- at -- about it somewhere about it it would be addressed whether the police locker ability note -- you know. Little comic to anyway you know just want to I would. Smirk on base you know somewhere -- going to about it whether he like he might put on on the big -- forty. You know and it. You know and can't wait personally challenging you predicted by the technical many tricks -- stuff to do. For the most part the only -- it would be all it did they do is like appear about it at that very well.

You wouldn't -- when you look at this team overall and you you've been at positions before where you've gone against -- scenarios where. It almost looks unwinnable and what what's the what would you thought process receiving your charges right now thinking they're going up against is behemoth team the patriots.

I like I like beauty is much is that a situation I like like a piece of panic one that culture being offered doing great but -- was at PP. In order to alter our only point out that -- They can make it stop them. I don't think that it can't. You know it's just you -- opposite opposite -- not -- not possibly any anyways so let's. After it takes -- that we don't do that I thought I. Are you popular and a -- Burks about. You know and then hopefully -- at the ball at the and it became and there are often connect dollar -- at indicate there --

And the chargers have a bunch of injuries and some of the guys that we problem we even haven't haven't even heard about -- couple times during the game. But -- hone in on Antonio Gates is a great players same position you like and yet he seems to be the guy that. Every time something breaks down he's the guy that rivers goes to last week seemed to have no separation whatsoever with a dislocated -- He couldn't get beyond that defender how big is that injury compared to those other injuries in -- so much of the office is here.

It's quite likely -- just. -- you know and it and it won at Toronto which. -- at bat I know I took -- when push off all your body running mechanic screwed up. -- up like you know you don't pull your muscle because you're running differently it's really I think -- just going to have to just great out about. You know -- so hopefully you'd hope that maybe another week help them out but he's one and you know out cut away from this -- it up and and better. So I don't as a quarterback -- always a security blanket vote because -- really in trouble you have a mismatch you explored out. -- All and every time in all -- were -- that big or -- try to cover. You know -- 86 foot it's a mismatch at bats like it is pat.

Christian it's great talkin' -- you again and a good luck with Comcast sports net and anytime you want to sit around with -- here on the you know. Picture you're always welcome.

We hear just small welcome to -- welcome to the dark side. Now what are they hated new here so I trusted -- Jalen Christian Fauria former patriot -- In Washington yet. Good player. He's been he's been great because he's given your stuff though -- he wanted to talk about
