Welcome back Dennis and Callahan of the home stretch on this Patriot Friday joining us from the west coast corporate Rodney Harrison good morning brought -- aria. A -- good good -- and a lot of baseball this week Ando we've -- the point is made -- baseball players are creatures of habit. That's an unusual for you guys suspended out on the west coast. What has your experience been like the stay out there and it all the training camp experience out there running.
All the extra if those tight somewhat of vacation. Kind of break the monotony of of you know same routine -- over -- and so. You know most of players have talked to they're really enjoyed his stay out here and so it's really nice your -- rest routes change of pace and it just what is.
You're you're head coach would say hey the bye week stalwart is that is what ideas in a perfect world would you like to 234 weeks later.
Well of course have been Q will want -- its season because it gives you chance to kind of break there early -- up the monotony. It is -- get some rest. We have played and -- can't complain. Hopefully we just continue to -- there and it. Stay focused and stay healthy and see what happens in the here.
I don't know I don't know if you get the chance to watch the Red Sox tonight but. I'm guessing you mixed emotions Cliff Floyd. The guy you grew up with against the Red Sox team margin. And since you've been in Boston.
Well you know up and the of the woods when you're a plea if you problem -- dominate. All of baseball players have ever played against. The the rule 8094. Like it is young teenagers. And just to -- Ria ops. Really maybe properly yet still I like the Red -- I've been out on the east coast. Problem just root for votes though what that.
Nicklaus that you are much of a baseball -- back to market mansi lion. He's that you were much of a baseball player back in market when you guys played Chicago together I don't know I don't know cricket yeah. And was a football player.
Are you -- basketball players baseball players -- just so much bigger and at what else ought they. Music sport who. And it is -- can it. He chose the right field got a guaranteed money big a lot of it though he's smart there.
And stay with that baseball football analogy of the Red Sox -- you know Ruddy seemed to hold this -- mental edge over the Angels not during the regular season. But it when it comes to the playoffs they'll do those kinds of issues exist in the National Football League because you guys have beaten the Chargers in very important games three times in a -- does that have any impact on Sunday.
Probably. Probably from a confidence standpoint I think. It really that they did not like they do charge -- backed out of the QB page -- be. -- seasons. Take on its own role. And now they got caught up what happened and it goes right now what's important so I think those got cut off -- this -- loss. In mind that they can be very excited pumped up Paul. Yeah we got a lot of young players that will bring a lot of electricity to that field so we just have to match their two of these. Swap their place the type ought to play.
Does it feel on Friday morning does that feel like it was the right thing to do stand out then you look around you teammates at practice or on the in the locker room and think. Where as ready or more ready than would've been had we gone home.
The tape of this be. Verify your vote this the right thing to do know what's going to play. After game. Texas schools six hours try to take two would be recovered lift weights practice a couple of days come right back out of the six hours. You know active fly back home by the 2000 it's ridiculous so on so to save. Almost what. 24 hours in the day. A fly -- huge and like a city gives a family that chance to come on here relaxes sort of such. And you know first and foremost accuses.
Did you worry at all improved a split second about the young guys maybe -- out getting in trouble getting crazy. That thought enter your mind.
I think -- cute they have got to vote not thought I had no worries -- the young got that beat you scared them enough slow and in in twelve from the people out there. And so the -- little business trip. And be done to not let -- Beckett back last product last opportunity yet and that's football league I think a lot of got RT mothers and can't come out here can match up where it does take care of business of football is about -- party. So PP it joint itself yet still we have ought -- as --
correct -- if I'm wrong with my memory serves me this Sunday with a first time you played it call comes into left in 2003 because of injuries is that important or significant in your mind.
So it's really another game. And be excited in the -- Coaches and things of that sort but at St. on view it. You know it's no love lost respect they -- or they treated well as far as sitting in every game here. You know I'd give back. You know -- football game played -- last year you know. It really is released you know feel terrible -- there late may not play well.
They how much time did you spend be in the team's policy airs this week with. A sightseeing and restaurant recommendations and golf course stuff.
out our wives concerts house all over the place whatever. In joint from you know all of them on the shop she's really a critic or.
That. All. Hated that did a genius -- make an appearance with you guys at all this week.
He's still listen and -- them probably hopefully will be it was in the technical flaw for a little while just see guys.
Question is going to a restaurant down there's going to be a big -- it that's a place you can get in some trouble.
Knocking -- trouble there. He's got a -- Are there sort -- Beautiful Lotto explain he he's just something that you know he really. Really did a great job board. It's really like the beat plays whenever someone. Comes and now the elbows -- if the historical place. It was in the about legends about class. Artwork. -- for you that he's done. -- yes. I don't know RB I I can't really. A -- it just he's not planet right now whatever do you do or you enjoy themselves about. That's -- is these -- here read but he that would lot of passionate. -- for option for.
Hey let's wrap this up -- they got a serious football question I'm looking at the records of Indianapolis San Diego and New England arguably the three best teams in the National Football League last year you guys are a combined seven and six is that some sort of shift in power in the NFL or is that just reflection of some serious injuries and some teams try to get their feet on the ground early in the season Rodney.
When you look at the parity throughout the league in he had something to them as far as you look at Buffalo and it was our forego it also get blown out. And and one point Alice as the Super Bowl champions Eagles and they lose. The Phillies and Bears and is just any on any given day it's I think it is. Shuttles people that happened on the play which we. Can take the records mean opposite -- I think too mean to keep people off you'll be Atlanta regional -- regional office especially media people. Is about what's what -- into this season how well he played in January.
They had either way you think you might see Brady he's in Southern California might he come. -- and are coming on crutches in the locker rooms you guys.
As rest to allow. Watch EG weekly -- that everything will want and will be out back up there's so. You can't shoot rest. You know he's always -- It was you know it was -- Oh. Brady just these two out.
final question I ask somebody earlier today on the broadcast. If you were starting a football team which Manning. And that's your only choice you -- would you choose to be your quarterback let me change -- just a little bit for for a defensive player well which of the two Manning's would you prefer. To defend and prepare for.
It is -- with. Yeah slower and I go to a backcourt. A are they different. They're different I -- 88. Lead.
And -- is it talked about a David you -- showed a lot of heart and have a lot of respect. In. Two in Super Bowl it. Really you know start slow it really make it. Keep at bound few -- a lot of our support Q well brother. You know Peyton Manning -- one top two quarterbacks lead all the papers so I think Eli have a lot more to do. In order to be really mention in that rep with his brother but it made. Great parties started low and we start off. That was finished. -- They're going to have both successful rears. Replaceable is just not that.
And -- golf this week. None zero that's this big that's 'cause I don't like all that is discipline.
It's issue it's great chicken in the ground out that it played played football gets some rest. And while they went to two football games come back home be.
