We're really excited and collect and send the opposite of what the result there's not really really fired up about the way that we're playing them excited -- what they can choose your employer.
Let me ask you this -- you know this first and play in the same division as these guys the New York Giants. We don't see this coming here it in New England. What did the name of the Super Bowl. What's your analysis of what happened because we all say all the up at the line was overwhelmed by Umenyiora and over overwhelmed by Strahan and Justin -- urgency.
I you know it it it it took that they had a really good is that the wind -- that you're because you're trying to you know without capping it. Can bring blitzes up like that you know what their support our guys and the Irish you know bigger what they needed to do to win -- you know at the time yeah we beat him like. During the regular season and come into the playoffs and we just. We couldn't finish the game and you know it didn't -- thing getting past -- it is just. Almost on -- they don't grow.
Dogs answers to -- the pac man thing what what do you have to do to fit -- with you guys or. What do you have to prove something to union teammates if if the trade is made.

You know prove them -- you know I don't know what kind of guys here it would you know I don't let all -- areas and you target everybody can't be nice to meet you -- in my book.
Did you talk about some of the differences between -- A Bill Parcells that type of coach had not -- specifically that the coach in the title coach you have right now who by all accounts the pretty laid back out again Wade Phillips.
you -- different go to battle very people who are very effective you know also stat head -- go to work more hard -- it felt a little more late tackle but you know. The thing between bulk of his regular work done on the field the other called the booklet just and you know you can see. Where you know old style work you know we're both -- went particularly complaint I think we're talking about an unbelievable job -- Parcells -- is that he's been great coach in. You know he helped me you know you instrumental in my her recurrent or.
And you've been front center with with via growth and development Tony Romo where is he grown the most from from when he took the starter -- job but a year and a half ago from Drew Bledsoe.
I think he's just matured a -- you know he's you know he's been a lot of big games and I think that you know this is -- and I think he's really gonna break so I. You know less seriously were really really good and I think he's seen -- seen a lot of things in this that don't doubtless in almost thirty year out of the happier -- options starting. If this is different because I think you know looking that much is written here we gotta do it you know we we had a great creek -- marks here and we just didn't finish. This is the year get --
Well -- told our audience to play. Football BC everybody remembers your numbers -- even keeping up that the program a guy who's who could go on the top five could possibly go number one overall Matt Ryan.
What what do you think -- they --
Particularly good quarterback Mark you know we understand the game then you've got a great arm and -- is. You can the so called Matt Hasselbeck -- you know resist. He's going to be re going to convert you know oh really really well and I think everybody has yet since it up on him in the first. No -- so -- is really going to get a guy that's going to deal we're going to Welker get thought.
And I was on the other side of the ball but have you run into Zach Thomas at all since he signed on there.
I don't know our numbers I'm sure I'll be in my Monday you know it you can pretty much better sort of work out on Mondays so an effort nothing but good things -- he's a leader. And I think he can do nothing but help that the that.
So -- Dallas -- that you keep it up with all the Boston sports teams or just the self.
All night of my at a moment tentative again meant getting -- figure Mario won't be extra innings in a lot to let -- all the time and you know it's just. Particularly cold feet it was -- workers -- elevated to the passengers.
Ali I I I can tell this story Tuesday night and I told Mark this last week it reaffirmed my. Appreciation for what you're out you're -- in this business and you take a lot of things for granted. So Mark comes down with -- life when he's got his Paul Pierce Jersey and -- come down he's outside the locker room. And everybody from Paul Houston. To -- on Paul. And he's twelve okay. -- to all of all the big giant and I literally he was a twelve year old kid who just happened amigos at them like.
