    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. Charles Chandler of the Charlotte observer is joining us on the AT&T hotline. AT&T your world delivered
    game appears she. Would have been that restricted create. It. The battle Jordan Gross on the very -- the Atlantic. Apply their franchise tag of course plot Julius. 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

Michigan's fight song and a pizza. If you got two guys that that's right the video you know the Ohio State one of the favorites again it would open. By Mike lifted -- to oh last night's game what it would be taken out of Matt -- was here earlier asked him about offensively defensively. How do you feel about last night's performance.

Well automatic it's certainly we we have think that we look at after every game and you know -- note her arm. It would just gonna start trying to make a an aptitude toward Kansas City and and what we're doing. You know really big early in game are just kind of frustrating just. The way we play -- after that first series and know whether we're just we're not ready or whatever there's been so we're going to take a look at that we're charity well. Really start spokesman -- Kansas City.

My how you feel closely for your offseason and your I don't I don't know.

Well I'm -- I didn't get healthy arm. You know -- Florida game I think in their first series start -- No big part of reason why they currently a lot of success I mean. But I did a good job on block and then nine -- Kamal and make so. Which I didn't do so. You know and that is -- frustrated that would make mistakes early in the game like that all. You know you're playing -- whole game you know you either you know maybe -- out there and make some place in in -- you know make up for a mistake. You know one year. -- get wiped out or -- come out. You kind of lead at -- it's what's left in the amount.

Mike talk about those mistakes coach says you guys just need -- types of things value there they just need to make some plays when you see the same mistakes. Week after week on film of these fixable are these three re occurring each and every week.

Not a big -- NFL it. You know rarely do you get the same looks against the same deterrent to sort of mistake you make. It'd make come out down the line three weeks from now -- there's still going to be corrected you still have to understand. You know what what we're doing what we're trying to do so. Arm. Yeah are you do a lot of Ricci plays in the game and are there are certain plays that. That -- people may run against a -- or that they've made -- run against support tree so. There at St. do we have to walk you know look at like he says that every game and try to just -- them and you know and then move --

for the first time I think stupid here you've got a couple of young linebackers fairly high draft choices that the seem to be contributing your early on how to work Cleveland -- stacked up so far.

I mean there's dead young guys you know while the young linebackers we get here. Athletic they you know they're just they loved -- to learn about gay and really there has -- directions about stuff and how placed option. So why are you are a -- plan I would imagine they're going to help parties aren't in and really try to make it better.

In my game like last night this season better what you are you've been through it. You know so much of this organization and how hard is it to play in a fourth season a fourth pre season game. Like that. As -- knowing that Tom Brady's not there to put some points on the board I mean is it -- not the same feeling right I mean in my off.

Because in the same feeling is what order deal Sunday that at 1 o'clock probably not but I'd still it's still a ball game. In May yet go out there is former. Regardless of who you are -- it it which is better. He just hit eight are -- to go out there in your performance. You you play on until you're you're told that of the became.

These guys. And the front seven feeling any added pressure now that the south is not there that if you guys do your job always supposed to do to alleviate some pressure off you know some of the newer guys. That are going to be back there this year.

Time and really I don't really think. It matters two quarterbacks are those safety there are -- At the level we don't you know -- only start game where the regular seat in the know -- Garrett Garrett -- but he expected to do their job what they're. Call. Aren't dead body that wasn't here you know I mean it's like you don't really you don't think about better that that played. You know into consideration.
