Adam Schefter

Welcome back Patriot Friday continues -- the 8 o'clock hour hour or three Dennis and Callahan joining us on the phone lines are right since expert from the NFL network Adams after add on good morning how are you channel man our only. It's all over guys the Europeans -- 11 up you know on one -- play the Europeans and they want to relationship with -- and Mickelson out drove the Europeans -- like a hundred yards or thirty did. We've out there winning in the you know what -- won't win -- mind.

I paid very little attention to -- Ryder Cup but I'll be honest truth is that I didn't even. No that is going on right but that's that's the tunnel vision and I have.

The little frightening. -- Adam is is -- number three about the week that we start to find out some answers to really get a sense of you know the balance of power in the NFL we find out whether San Diego's that bad buffaloes that good and Indianapolis is this uneven.

I think that every case indicate speculated deal here I think that you have an idea already -- this year going to go you know and are going to be good against you. You without Tom Brady you know that San Diego is facing a very challenging situation right now where if they don't win. On Sunday. Or Monday night you're suggesting that public you're expected to go but they're not went. I mean --

Well and is LaDainian Tomlinson stolen one piece I don't know.

Yeah I just think that I expect him to bounce back I think San Diego started very slowly last year same type of situation. They came back it bounced back and everything worked out okay.

What's the story in Oakland is it is is tennis given EM out is is Al Davis just sort of has come a crazed old man sitting in office somewhere and has also Lackey -- what do we want to do will do for it out of out of that dysfunctional family working these days Adam.

Well keep out the question is what if you are okay and I think that if they have lost on Sunday he would've been out on Monday. They won. They're going to Buffalo today it's a short week because in east coast trip that coming up a victory. It made it a little bit challenging test -- this week you know what they won a few dozen Buffalo he went very you can -- him a little bit and if not. Illusionist if you limited I think he I think he's gone Monday I really -- maybe even. Maybe -- of the plane ticket on Sunday in Buffalo until we go back on his own notes.

Is that Michael vick's pit Bulls of the background that this symbol employment you starving them like Michael did it.

It's -- it's ruining usual -- my. You know my dogs are are are so well treated -- some believe by they have the right to bark like.

That's what Michael said that we look further into a who replaces him in Oakland give businesses such she'll still the man.

You know. Elect everybody should know or they gonna hire you know it there there's some coaches don't look -- that job to that I could think of -- Bryant and James Lofton and I've person because Beijing lost that. I think when they brought him in San Diego they brought him in with the idea that if and when they meet him loving Kiffin. That James Lofton would be the guided detergent everybody out there seems to think -- Ryan. And I can be -- CIA I I just have a punch in the -- Lofton.

I think it should be the they they're guys that the other -- get the -- guy in the end zone. With Toronto I don't read. Bring back the image yet -- image -- the dot way to go and despite -- shoulder -- guy.

And it is that guy yeah I've only talked about Church -- by the guy at what bank down the field out at. Oakland coliseum -- would be a fine coach.

Is Al Davis and I'll put this to usually still with us Adam. You know what I mean.

Well I will tell you I mean if you'd see him. -- look so old yeah looks sick. And I would say also that his mind is still as short as ever I mean in mind is. Working it is all there he's lost nothing. Obvious fastball that regard. -- very sharp.

You don't want to know is in your opinion in the experts opinion. Is the AFC. Won the two or three team race.

To meet security great idea mean. It -- could not beat the Patriots.

I got an idea you take that ball and you beat the dog went. We could solve two problems.

I had to be a great idea right -- great idea. If they could not beat the Patriots in New York. In Matt -- without I've read what what are they going to beat them.

That's there asked the eight they cut their hearts out I mean I still assume their thinkin'. Way to Brett gets comfortable here and maybe things will change and they'll go on Iran but. I do that the Patriots have -- over them and I we haven't seen. Enough to Buffalo and god knows we they'll they'll have the chance to knock the Patriots of -- but. Is Buffalo legit contender for the division title.

In told they people awful until would be doing my attitude. Though I mean until somebody beats them like it's it's hard and I do think Buffalo together really do I think that.

They're special teams. Are really good and they're going to win some games and.

I think that the team that you have to be concerned about and then maybe New England this year but until they actually built -- the Patriot yeah. -- should anybody you know overtake and.

Right out of what's being said at the highest levels of the National Football League about the ad -- police situation -- the limitations of instant replay what they might do to tweak or change the offseason.

I get a muted this because. There -- did the system is pretty good okay and.

This guy made a bad mistake at -- horrendous time any cost the charges.

He decided the game went one -- course there's built she plays and up went forward and Jamie and spoke to stop the but everybody goes back that one call. Which she feels terrible about the outlook we could change that rule it but it's like the couple how old tradition get like once every 2030 years.

But more than that though this isn't the idea and this is always been the argument for instant replay in baseball or anywhere else the idea the concept here is 21 way or another. Get it right whether that requires officials to get together or replay or or stand on your head and -- government spit sunflower seed whatever it takes to get it right get it right. Did the NFL I know the rules in place once the whistle blows the play is dead while -- block. Is there not some sort of mechanism in place out of that the and Falcons say even from New York. He can blow this what you can't blow this call you can't let this game be decided but was clearly to everybody including a broccoli a bad call.

Great question and again it's something that. The competition committee will probably talk about after the season but they could do infusions like there's this crisis is emergency there's an outbreak Colts. Well I'd take him back to this time last year when there -- people saying why are coaches call a timeout -- kickers this is crazy now.

I know at the same time you can call a timeout -- for the kicker kicks he could message and you've -- what they're getting the second Chad but.

Nevertheless they -- this outcry. For a rule change in that particular area so what happened that order -- meetings 67 months later. -- did not have enough -- he gets voted down and they're you can still icy kicker.

What would've happened on Sunday at -- a Lee said you know what I blew the call you clearly blew the call. I'm change and it it's a loose ball it's it's it's their ball not their ball wont happen but he it's sort of superseded the rule that was in place.

They're great question and my only answer to LB he can't do that he can't do that.

you can. Tell. And he can't say a blow the whistle. And then they recovered the fumble and them give them the ball after the whistle -- that that outrages understand why the right thing. No because you fewer definitely say we didn't try to recover whistle but it was there.

That there are people sit at the Broncos should have forfeited the that would have been the moral thing to deal looks. -- You know you can imagine that I keep -- I can you in my chanting singing up came at a port call that is really should've been a ball away we're going to get the most.

Is seems like a very simple solution on most plays don't blow the whistle. That's going to protect quarterbacks. Right I mean that's why these whistles exist that.

That's that's what a suspension of over Mecca of Buccaneers which handed down the street did you hit Matt Ryan yeah it. Say great ejection I don't think the suspension happened.

Hey why is Jeff Garcia still available to anyone who wants to make -- offer.

It is strange situation that has become more strained by the week and I think equal respect the last season they rest -- inception scope. And basically he -- short of the 70% playtime special but he needed to cash in on a million dollar incentive he was angry about that this never get a deal done Nazis.

He criticize -- publicly which he didn't intend to do but he did and it happened. And then of course there at the press for flirtations which happened right in front of a minute Buccaneers and it was going on and Brett Favre came on the first step said. That it was going on and an adventure for Brian -- so there's a history here over the last 67 months. That is not favorable for either side and I think that they just basically they don't like each other right now you know it's it's it's like a married couple who's been together. Innovation they're sick of each other.

I never understand why it's so hard to trade guys in the NFL anyway you mean by.

It's one of our biggest Peter -- come up with ten trades and we should do this before the trade deadline of trade that would make sense and.

And -- last but none of what happened anxious to Riddick had a ghost. What's your over under on the Dolphins this year for wins I assume you think he'll win more than they did last year. If they don't is pars this ourselves like equipment Huff or is he better he -- disputed.

They. They've been disappointing -- I thought that they would be better than they had no credible it took me -- two games but. Last week they were abominable I mean that was just awful.

And it'll be three at the end this weekend so they'll be on three of.

Owens the ray and I thought they'd win seven games coming and I really did and I overestimated them. And articulate -- one of those 313 seasons and -- just -- shaping up to be right now now. They based out of the players right now and he -- that the that cooperation back together. He'd done adultery that are -- he's done it in Dallas immediately to Dallas and so that decision he made they're always involved in. Okay they go and get Tony Romo addressed Marion Barber. Eight draft -- ware and Shawne Merriman. So there's a real good mood that built the foundation of the Cowboys team that now is arguably the best teams football certainly the best in the NC right now. And I would think that in time you'll do the same thing in Miami you'll get turner got a question is how long -- I haven't that they commit.

They -- is the Gus Frerotte story in Minneapolis going to for Minnesota gonna turn out to via a happy ending.

I don't know how to act and happy I mean that's. That team as a whole right now there -- until -- Adrian Peterson didn't practice yesterday neither their starting wide receivers practice yesterday. They're mister Bryant McKinnie to board games -- tackle. It Jewish music -- move to me. It immediate desperation. I mean. This -- the guy that for two years. They have been staunchly behind this is our guy. We don't need to go like anybody else we we gotta -- builder they propped up that guy so much for so long. Despite other people insisting that he wouldn't be that guy and then two games into the season. Well there all the until. Suspension and mandatory medical -- night. You're telling me that this thought -- hold onto the touchdown best there was -- and get a date. It's Indianapolis and they win the games they should have -- field aren't the best that divorce judge's bench today. And I felt so basically. Truck passed one -- has contributed to him being benched him and maybe his career Minnesota being.

I disliked Carolina welcome back Steve Smith is causing problems is not to soccer -- anymore teammates. -- okay without them.

Every day they were eight tremendous surprise early on they -- all their games and he is their best offense player probably their best player period. And he had a dimension that team that they just don't have without -- yeah I mean they were. They were spot -- and yes it's much -- more guys out yeah yes.

I think they beat Chicago. She on the beach guy -- India -- it. And now they go to Minnesota and take on Gus brought the could be three you know did anyone see that coming.

I I don't think it says that c'mon did anybody think that without Steve Smith that they were going to have both those games now. Not now I -- I -- and I think even they would say that they didn't expect when both their games without Steve Smith.

He has out of chapter from the NFL network of some raw meat in the -- cajun. -- were talking actual -- get ready for the next -- But I does everything I will not the next running so much out of chapter -- development work wouldn't.
