A week we -- run into football you know especially round here pre season everything and you know things that happened on the track record here. NATO knows it is knows. It. Poems are at the game where he he's buying you the final word. Yeah it was okay now -- problem yeah he's okay now.
Enjoy the New York media are all over Eric Mangini today for his play calls well Mangini and Schottenheimer the office coordinator. Big play there. You guys are. Pretty much backed up they gotta a goal line situation. And they run it three times now they are criticizing him saying wanna mix in the past were you surprised that they ran the ball.
Not -- I don't think so because on. In our situation one thing we say when we get down in that area. The -- come down who want more. Who's tougher and we think you know -- appeal all open and our deepest mine and we thought we just open them so. You basic lineup in this you know -- now. On the -- in some positive go through street Ron committee probably -- some some some -- so far you know went in would -- And Faneca. An -- you know Hall of Fame quarterback to operate their office oh. I mean why why -- try to total would mean you have such -- you know real the office like they have.

We won't be beer in the Raiders especially we we don't want our guys on the ball. -- Al Davis at a lot yesterday I mean that was like a moment for us it was like a dream come true because we know we product -- one so. That was a huge step -- and it was interesting person that gave up five yards Kerry. But when it mattered. You stop the run yeah we did you know defy yards cared. They apartment at three -- fire runs that they probably need it that in ten more. Home. With a it was missed missed tackles hello. Lanes on it. For whatever reason you know that's the reason that you know they got those big runs but in all and all on me up and we -- with. And -- room we knew it was someday they wanted to come into Logan's run the football. Column so book accuses -- matter when we stop it and when we didn't -- the big please deeply great -- split. Almost you have those big plays out there it is that's keeping them from -- you know pretty good pieces and are as -- one -- bear Betis -- a lot of things that we can learn from. And and -- from what you know. The great winning gold in New Jersey and come out with -- victory.
Brett Favre is a Hall of Fame quarterback block first ballot we all know what he is and what he can do got their little late. It's understandable those reports out of New York and that he doesn't quite have a complete grasp of the offense yet. I noticed a lot of the plays were going right down -- the end of the play clock did you feel as your stand and across the line at that offense was in sync and knew what it was doing every minute.
Not I mean it's time they were on the -- I mean. Exists is is pretty simple how many give up to a I was delusional in this -- mangle him make the call and so to a quarterback the would've won two of don't -- if he's you know other than differently Award put in Milan was in sync with each other I don't know if you know brave and and they -- I was on instinct together book. -- for me. There'd be offered realizing that they are very aware of that technique and it was there was happy with the way. On they've managed to gain well that's I don't know anything you know with her fault you know how he does it. I don't know how whale he knows -- friendship book. From honest and I painted openoffice reminding him through. And we've seen Brett before we know what he's like he's laugh and talk and he slapping you guys on the buses you're walking back -- the huddle. He evading -- do you yeah -- you we just spoke. In this sport to children don't Tom and they it was capable how many would you want to army who -- and -- I mean you know I'm real good friends of both -- you know because of that simply university mine so. A teacher we humanly -- book I don't everything really it's. I mean could you repeat as a division then now we can talk afterwards which we do you know we talk. Not talk to -- outdoors where you know born. Going play.
The I see -- have a definite business that that's -- quote from Heath Evans he said he was very curious to see how. Matt Cassel handled -- Hollywood -- personality wise and performance how much you. A being on the defense were you curious to see. Cassell was going to do or did you feel like he had an idea of what it was obvious happening happening counsel him answer there. -- now. He stepped on -- he came Manhattan. -- The wheaties. Now he made the -- need him. I don't think he was 22. But he was -- consistent player -- so. I was surprise not talk before games and told him you know. We got a lot of trust. You. It's. You carry so just one half on in the which had to do. This is okay. And I was so. The way he played in -- It is very happy you know the way he came utley in. The so. You know as time -- on Wednesday -- more costs. And right now he just habit. He's Q what is -- Com UB UB widow and in the -- season and use used to. A different and as well as ridiculous that we we might be under rating his performance yesterday. We've heard about the first start since high school but let's go deeper. How do you make your first start since high school. In a National Football League game on the road against. That it did to do what he did yesterday. Under those circumstances you'd like amazed -- he Gammons -- where I mean. Come before a game he was real. He was no point -- He -- is you know his rich who would it do now he was. And legacy as a team we would. Be a thing all three Phillies. Had a helluva -- special teams because we did codes are yeah one. We desperate team for you just cutesy council know Toms now you have the dubious. No you don't have to me just do your job and trust everybody goes on and yes there was a prime example analyst at six -- is a good football. And what can happen on the human duels please -- endeared him you know office in marriages and rusty and it went in news day. You're greatly outweigh you know you negative plays in happened this this open -- oh week and we we we missed a beat. I will -- practice as -- slow whereas the team are we.
Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork is being brought to you by TD BankNorth banking it's faster easier. And hassle free there was a running play yesterday where. You've -- the play out to the left you were moving laterally to your left. And and you were fight against -- are five guys and they wouldn't be able to run the football. Andy was talking. About the how good your defensive line is -- and I you guys occupy more than one man each of you have that ability and and and did you feel like if if if you needed to. You could stop their run almost as you said almost at any point the had.
Yeah I mean are -- what -- they. You take out those five big runs that -- They really have anything on the on the -- legacy. I don't know was missed tackles missed assignments. -- answer there is what wolves but we BQ what you know. But for our good good return and those properties are related -- six -- sixty thoughts. So I mean. We we know -- we know how we can play we know exactly you know. Cast around this you know like on the would Richard Seymour and Taiwan and they deal and rules Q I know exactly what did one round so want to see something they and the -- just so. RWI we've we can't we talk about -- It became down to. A pretty -- with a -- with the best -- and an excellent.
Richard said here last week he says defense wins championships here he says we haven't won anything without high powered offense that we had. And it it's almost like he was putting the pressure back on your side of the football and -- will take that you don't you bring it to our side of the ball -- is that how you feel as well.
Are exactly I mean that I mean you have to me and if you if you -- on the history joke you know championships. What was to what was the lead in thing in in those things Willis. Guys stopping the run and they were to stop the running constantly on the office in squad is the score points. But if you beaches if you not stopping him about it doesn't matter you know so. I'm a true believer of their aggressive ago that's what they were products of around you know that these things -- open last year. You know that's who was less of what -- we got overshadowed because of the things are all responsible was -- but he. On what is it took away from you know. Guys seen how will look over the -- that we had. Now most of most people you don't ever -- one on the stand what arsenal football no. So I mean this year we actually is opposite now you know Tom goes down so it about dole -- the pitcher's season no way they'd just on the it was nation now. But it gives us as the faces an opportunity that go out and showcase how good New York. And I think every week we we we've there's something that we want to. We want to give the things we want to -- You know to the stadium there and we stay opponents' field. How will we can play how will that we can play unit. NF that the fins so a lot of gas -- pay attention to the big plays the things they now. Because of futile -- active for some reason. Now you know -- look at look at with the fist -- what we've been playing the same way but we just been overshadowed because of you know how great -- been in the past so. It just put us on -- main stories now.
Al right and so people in. See what we all the sounds like you heard the critics who listened to the critics talk about Uga of course. -- or listen to who who who who was the worst who had no way out I don't know I mean. It was a lot now on the east do Roberts do is balance. On which no way we know. We know exactly the type player that we have. And we know demise. So we will see -- the umps aren't mean. It was just a few. And I can tell you that man secretary you report view we respect we respect. Now if you if you don't. You know sometimes. Lot of teams do in the media. We we do you sort of our record after the game was of the goal all along faces here in New York architect I went to Canada. It was like it was shot you know alone. You know it was stuff we played on. Whether it's. -- against you know because you made things happen. And.
Means. We spent becoming too -- that -- to -- state and win for both. We don't do the same this year I don't care where we -- we expect to win Easton each Sunday we expect. --
Elena -- and let's be honest it's. You guys in the past have made up disrespect. Even when it wasn't there you've made it up you used that you've thrown more cold thought -- fire at. You're actually just don't have to make it up this year that's the only difference for it's it's really there and places.
Yeah army aggressive -- it -- day there is not going to depend on one person. Is that I don't care I'm an approval is there when the team I don't care I'm supposed to -- Is is going to come down I will. Your team. Response. As you. Which are what what I mean is how will you be if he's going to respond with -- feel specialties office. And we knew we could take care odd jobs we on the field. We've been gutsy I guarantee we would be indices we do that we get in trouble when he started to little bit more. The -- hip calls when you don't have to because when you trying to do some males now on the -- argue. -- possible to be here now is all of it's it's a big mix now. So we have to just trust each other and I think upping the fist movies and and -- and the -- because a morning the -- thing weird Eaton more and more. Well we started trust one another more and more more and is and is one is helpless and so. We off to a good start we have to keep going with the greatest him today. Accomplish with some mistakes in their -- that they would became woods in the what we want to learn from one of warm and correct them more.
