    You brought up the Julius Peppers the deal and you talked about the difference in that. Matt Cassel had already signed that under the what might have been. Timing situation for you he signed Peppers is not sign. The franchise

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.

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. For Julius Peppers that I felt but the Packers which kept understand it's not a deal even like that Matt Cassel -- Where the Patriots

    Schefter tells John and Gerry that Julius Peppers will NOT be a Patriot this coming season

    julius peppers found at 1:03, 2:52, 4:02

    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.

    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

This Thursday and Friday. Two most important days of the year here at WB EI and over at the NASA and and that's -- we run our Jimmy Fund radio telephone. We are hoping this year to raise over four million dollars. And we have -- of people in town. To help us out with a few auction items that may be would help. Boost that figure -- and we asked Bill Belichick if you can come up with Upton that would be innovative something that was one of a kind. And bills come up -- did a terrific idea. In which. -- highest better and we're going to do the auction today between to a six. We'll get four clubs seats to the Patriots Eagles pre season game in August 22 but that's not at all. Because the highest bidder in the three guessed -- going to meet. Earlier in the day before the game at Gillette Stadium. They're going to be escorted to bill Belichick's office for private meeting with the head coach of the New England Patriots before the -- steak on the Eagles. And the coach will sit there obviously talk to you about the game plan for that evening's game. Show some video the Eagles give an insight perspective of what he expects in the game. And then Dole's going to escort you out onto the field so you'll be able to watch the pregame warm ups and sure to be a good photo opportunity for yet. And as I said after that you go sit in these beautiful club seats. And watch the Patriots and Eagles on the coach to witness live on the telephone right now from Foxboro hey bill how are you.

Granted -- don't Antonia Lola courses here -- out I don't know Pete have gone out doing a pretty good. I'll let you know we might even throw and there is my first place. You gotta be -- and who deep all the holed -- that now. All the how how -- you know he's going to bid. To. Put contingent. Answers to consider when I when I -- this when I brought this auction item yesterday he was the most jealous person here in the building he was just these days is ranked eleventh throw the ball -- a triple reverse. Good -- they've got to play him. And a pregame warmup though he did the other music -- and elevated it may peak could have scored the winner over to go to the game at all. --

I trust me let's go to multiple -- in the club section we don't want to that's as well and others is a terrific item and thanks to you and thanks to the pats for a for witnessed together. And hopefully will recent series when -- going to start the bid. At 4000 dollars 4000 dollars will be starting bid. And I'll give you the number just few minutes afterward finished -- and -- which is going to talk to for a couple minutes because he's got to practice session here coming up. Just before 230 but starting next Monday. And every Monday thereafter Patriots Monday will be talking coaching we're looking forward to doing that again. Ask a question about your approach here to the to the pre season though is it different. Then in the past in that right out of the gate in game one you seemed to be holding back and using some guys is there a fear that it's such a long season the media. Do it a little bit differently that you have in the past.

Well I think each year's different and so it did you know there there's there's a difference here a year I think on a meddling no work we're trying to get on. When guys could have been our system opportunity to play in. That hopefully soon again you know it's over is -- bases opened all one time that. You know think about -- and you know execute the the system and play and then. Our -- and go back and do it again -- how much it approved and courses still want to get more players that. -- around here and you know game ready and they get that ready for the regular seasons so. There's this -- everything but we're we're really don't expect much what we've we've done in the past. With you know some minor modifications. You know that taken account the it was the questions that are you know -- and this year -- of the years.

How quickly do you learn about rookies. I guess they probably all have their own. Rate of progression some guys probably short early in the guys probably take awhile to to learn but. Is all up to make up of of an individual and how quickly a guy can progress and become an NFL player.

Well epic each one's different laterally at the -- question and that's one of the hardest things to about anyway. On with rookie players -- some guys are fast and and kind of stayed on the starts slow and that the Cubs beat other guys. You know start higher level on the -- at that level. So it it just sort of -- think the big thing we took orders is how much they're proven entity continue to improve. Toward well all but again a lot of times he'll kind of stay. While level for awhile sometimes is that if full year and then. It's the second year that he you know that it makes the -- so. It's it's hard to predict but that's wanted to thank. Makes it exciting and certainly guys that come from systems that have. You know similarities to -- them you know they can like Logan Mankins permanent -- now. I looked great player anyway but you know to have that kind of system background -- built. You know who like -- for the Cleveland for Warriors. Certainly help the process along you know not just played but just. Not have a program on what to expect that so forth and so on so. It at the very inexact science but the most important that it that they keep improving.

Bill how how do you feel -- health wise relative to other years because it seems like in the last week or so every day or every other David even take players off the pup list. And it and it would seem that at this stage you are as healthy as you've been and camping one time.

I think where it's probably about the same as what it then in the past on average that we we have guys come off the list of course we. Which should we had battled -- on it start whatever it was -- it's good to get him back the -- guys that serve you know fighting through some bumps and bruises were dominant. 121 practice today again and of course preceding game with that so. -- you know that's a lot of work in in a couple of weeks and you'd expect -- to be Goran and you know have some bumps and bruises from that but that's out of normal or what the team need. Do visit. It needs to go through. Tough period and develops -- of -- person and you know despite through it and and you know be able. To maintain that that level focus and concentration 81 battlefield that when they're tired and sore all at this. At -- camp and it's it's a necessary part of that the on par but it it's not there.

The -- LaMont Jordan Renta ball very official Leo last week if Maroney Morris fought Jordan and in Heath Evans are healthy Q do you perceive all five of those guys being on. The roster we play Kansas City on opening day.

I can definitely sit. Sure but it definitely it. I think you know Indian old. You know will take that the best players and that may be -- a couple -- one position a couple of another. You know -- 2000 only kept four quarterbacks. So not that we could definitely keep our prime back where people were -- You know just the batter of where the best players and then you know out of that that the team but I do you think that group compliment each other well. You know he's kind of all back -- You know oh heavens or third down back Sammy and and -- at some. You know skills for both. Lawrence's. Has improved the passing game a lot but he's he's not real good -- the ball for us so. You know I think all those players are. There are good at certain things they do in the compliment other players. In the same back field. And I think that our offenses this personal -- both hopefully be able. They utilize all of them on an productive what and enable them productive when it plays so that's excursion to.

Coach you've heard some good reports here on Mayo coming out of camp we gotta look at him in the first pre season game in. You know we saw some of abilities and feel like he said he he made some plays on the field but yet he met left some plays out there mean does that account I think it's good comment from a young kid coming realizing that he still has a lot to prove.

I think this -- truck got a rugged attitude he he's he came in here. -- with a great attitude after we drafted in the terms that -- trying to learn everything. You know the position he plays. He's a little -- all -- every single play first down second down third down goal line short yardage third and long. -- sure that no matter what is push it rolled kicking games stuff on top of that. And and -- like corner who's you know a lot of running plays isn't really that and all that common. Or sometimes to -- a lineman pass rush you know -- pretty simple. You know he's just -- for spot with a quarterback station. When he drops back. So a linebacker though has you know they're -- blitzes and coverages and so he he's worked hard to learn that he's picked up basketball a lot to learn. But. I think he's he's picked up our system probably as well as any linebacker. Rookie linebacker that it arbour coached up to this point. And and we have a long way to go put. It definitely hasn't wanted to get a forum you know he just need does these things and experience -- And in -- gain more confidence. --

I let me give -- this item again it's -- worthy Jimmy Fund -- all part of -- Jimmy -- radio telephone coming up Thursday and Friday. Not only to get four club seats to a Patriots Eagles pre season game that you could do that again a lot of money you wanted to spend it. For club seats like -- but. But the highest bidder and the three guests are going to meet before the game over Gillette Stadium. You going to be escorted up to bill's office for a private meeting with the head coach. You'll be sitting there watching some some video I take it of the against the.

We'll talk about you know us on the from the video we -- the team on what we're going to try to do in the game and what in north Philadelphia is -- and -- going to match up on from there things will double that which on the out.

And I've seen one of these before with beating people were -- breaks it down it's fascinating stuff and on top of that. Bill has said that you the highest bidder will be able to call the first like.

Well glad -- there's also authorize you to throw that in that if that'll put us over the top for the -- on the -- you guys have done there it is amazing. And you know we don't always a thrower doors wide open -- the little bit of an exception but it it's her special Claussen and you do great chops or net and it'll it'll pull us over the top then you can throw that.

I was -- you've probably never done anything like this before. That's an excellent it is pretty special pretty special it's great again you're gonna go to -- on you know that I do do. They'll you'll get escorted out of the field but the -- to watch the pre -- warm ups as well and try to beat. Yes exactly.

It. -- estimate of the big question denied a but it's the after the everything we can't say the guy lacks the sense of humor because he clearly has centered around. But and I think people who will discover that the people that have an opportunity deceptive during the afternoon -- ghost of the game. -- Ohman and and again if we get enough money for this thing and he set on the arbitrator in this argument that well. That you could make frightening opinion anybody whenever. How would you don't like I. Topic said that they could make the call on me throw in if we get enough money and actually got called the Miami flavor Brady goes out and catch the pass and adjustments that quarterbacks were together and what. -- quite often Brady.
