Adam Schefter

Welcome back Dennis and Callahan -- Friday Patriots Friday joining us probable lines are -- newly minted pop pop. NFL network -- show after congratulations daddy. Thank you John and Jerry how are you guys do this morning. How we're doing how how -- mom and baby -- and went what's what's the info here and I'm. I was not spoke for about five days afterward she had a C section of -- let him pound ten ounce baby. A living and so did you not know what my suggestion of Flozell. We we did not we will -- dealing. -- I do see it.

Do you YLA ends I mean this you have some. You dream of naming your baby after Bob Dylan.

After the quick so Thomas. I thank him at a time like that because about don't think effort few times or haven't I don't have some -- quick. Quit yet to get.

Yeah need to come over something up treatment at my grandfather and so she told him she got all mud -- get home. Two days ago when date Wednesday yeah Wednesday which is great issues in icu for a little while. Think there's stuff in. Results -- being so -- most home there was LP.

Excellent it is eleven -- at eleven. 11 and goodness -- beat these first babies ever born to actually be bigger than her father.

You wanted to grow up like nick mangled system.

I'm already sick she stated chase becoming the first woman defensive tackle credibility -- that I thought that Jerry explanations say that I thought that.

Well congratulations you know where's nick -- system is she planning college now she's like it is he has yet. And she wants to be you know the first woman in the NFL and she might be.

AI MO that turn our attention to football most recent development. I don't know how you feel about this but it it seems to me. That that I I used this kind of smart ass comment earlier. People spend more time investigating the -- in their belly button. Then Jerry Jones did investigating Pacman Jones little middle of the night altercation. Is that a joke down there and and and is good -- on the spot now to. Really. I don't know maintain its credibility by not letting this thing slide.

I you know -- Detroit's trade situation I mean it's very compelling there is a lot of intrigue to the whole thing and I think debt. We are quick counts and Pacman Jones but we are quick to -- Pacman -- are absolute deserve reasons I mean this guy has. Lost all benefit of the doubt from previous actions before. And it doesn't sound like it was a horrendously horrific incident that you -- either Jerry were involved in a bar or a hotel room. Bathroom -- and there are broken it was all educated there okay but that is not a case of Pacman Jones and he has been given every chance a couple of which -- Jerry Jones gave a warning. About making sure again because she'd been something that could be considered unsavory. And -- here is again. Doing just missed out again this is the second skeptic in the I wonder if Terence -- groin and sports -- were actually fine. It is this it would also be side and -- that the Cowboys in the instigation. Would lead to nothing but. They're the situation would they really need Pacman the next six to eight weeks -- team -- it is. Recovering from his hernia at this point I'm so. The top spot they play tough team this week it was wide receivers and an aerial attack and to me he should be. Probably well over lowly let's make a decision you aware that they feel like you ballot that they did they they're going to come down hard on him hard.

Am I the only one that thinks it's perversely ironic that when he was called the New York to meet with commissioner Goodell. He was spotted in the strip club the night before as he's going to plead his case I might. And on the night before the morning I'll Goodell was coming to valley ranch to talk to the Cowboys about things that the commissioner -- to football team about he does this mean. Obviously discussed not thinking straight if indeed he finds Goodell that he was in violation of his warning. What are we talking 1248. Season.

It's a great question is what it is unprecedented area before we've never seen a case like this with the law and order commissioner he never make a ruling -- somebody these previously suspended. Who does something that cannot be construed. On its own. -- Bothersome but kicking collect -- all Jack changed you say. It has a moron. How did you do this and I don't know what to commission is going to decide the case like this got I don't know I think dead.

I think. I think we go with this defense then. I called the D and limit our defense if you didn't make those bodyguards all me in the men's and I wouldn't be Jamal yeah yeah -- the league's fault. Or the Cowboys -- thought they sign -- audit guide to him. The body got fallen in the men's I'm pat Vandermeer -- Jerry Jones what are expected the Duke got balls and in the men's room. It -- Ordonez look at that was evident week.

You know what don't bet the Cowboys have set up the system for a place in this the other chamber door that they have giving him. If system if fail proof system only keep it fell. Where he got security guards quiche monitor where he lives every action that eighteen KG and he's watched closely. And they do everything they can Dmitri does not take one step outside the lights. And he'd take step out psychologically the people that there are employed to. Watchers say it just it's bizarre but that particular question Jerry about what the proper course of action for Roger Goodell to take its. What is it.

Suspend them. What do you think is worse what what's his name did in zone via. The DB. The Jets. Have been met. Who throws had to -- and helmet hit. 8000 dollar fine in the game suspension the that was make him like less -- humid and now it's -- fifty grand I mean that's and this is he in the moment. Guy who was not on double secret probation. Adam Pacman jones'. Allegedly drunken amends and beat up his own bodyguard to me it seems that's more egregious than what.

Well whole package was ridiculous thing you guys make so that it says that's we have let -- of -- right there but I would tell you that. Well listen to me. I I think -- Roger Goodell has come down our players and if the league fights. And that would presume they would. That -- was involved in an altercation that broke the -- the Merrill police reports filed. And this would -- violation of the personal conduct policy it all those factors are placed okay. And they can prove they -- the pressure kind of policy to meet up Garcia. He's got a -- because he was brought back to the league. Under the guise of view. Will be held to a higher standard of conduct you know that you cannot change yourself -- of the week we've giving you a light --

Do I spend imprisoned sick of them I mean it's a backup cornerback and punt return. For a human Dallas and we spend half my day talking about him too as it gets tedious.

He is what you called. The lightning rod.

He has as many arrests as he has three interceptions war. He's not a great player now is it more out of.

It's not easy I think he's been a bit of a disappointment this year to be perfectly frank ME he had not made the mark -- That you would thought that he would need little rusty he -- not been as sharp as people thought I don't know whether. He's still betrayed him any year whether he shaking their Rust -- don't know what it is but he's not at the impact early on through five games that you would have thought he would have.

let's go from a player who I don't think it's that very much impacted too who have. Tough question for Adam you're the owner you're the coach of an NFL team which Manning -- to quarterback your team.

Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning I think people are forgetting. The fact it Peyton -- this year has been in total transition he has had to go that Jets Saturday to or that you go to an Internet of their. Mr. Ryan Lilja on -- you'd take three offensive lineman minimum off any veteran quarterback team. You put in other get -- Eli Manning is playing right now behind the best interior offensive line in the NFL. Okay and Eli Manning Parrish. Definitely gave himself. Credibility he's become a bonafide quarterback -- by eight top of the game quarterback but to meet -- I think they've Manning. Absolutely.

While Adam you know that that Eli Manning at this stage in his career has far more wins and one more Super Bowl that his brother did at this point and by the way if Eli and the Giants win the Super Bowl again this year you'll have more playoff wins the Peyton Manning --

Protect you so situation. You know what you could have Eli Manning I'll take they've Manning night.

They got close. Peyton is to be known for. Which. I I think that's a whole you don't get out of these two and two and a lot of them.

Odd is that they mentioned it that they variety would have Croshere bait but really ideally they'd stick in Minnesota with a victory that easily could have gone the other way yeah. And is closest that on August. They sure it lost last week and you can get down seventeen points midway through the sport and didn't -- the ball with four minutes left. Game's over it's over.

And all -- for their seasons or even -- that the good guys back. What about the charges that two and three in in which seemed start slow before and and them in the AFC championship game do you expect. A -- similar scenario to last year this year and and as a begin Sunday night. Against the Patriots.

Well first and foremost last year there was not somebody in -- capable of -- starting and the way that the Broncos are this year so that's the biggest difference. The other factor to consider here is that Shawne Merriman does that's -- they're not -- decent they've lost that swagger. And -- seems to be something amiss with that team whatever it is there's a certain toughness. That is not been evident this year aren't they domestic help the team yes but. New England -- well whoever has played them what three times last year and beat them all three times in those games Philip Rivers is thrown two touchdowns and -- interceptions. And so to me they'd struggle at the Patriots they've struggled with their competition this year it's not. The same Chargers team and I am going to play that I think they'll LaDainian Tomlinson spoke. Bothering him more of these -- are the future should not at this same burst he'd knowledge that came back now maybe it's. A case where a against -- nine right now the -- back it says that age of about thirty. Most of them in this generalization but it generally true most of them or the other side of equipment out. And clearly LaDainian Tomlinson right now does not seem like the -- back.

Adam when you look at the three -- you know premier teams of last year in the NFL San Diego Indianapolis and New England are we the power shift. Or is this merely sort of what you alluded to people getting old or in the case of certainly -- and Brady just major impact injuries money football team.

Well I think that. Deal with a team like San Diego you wonder if that window is shut and let them because they would they were built to win a championship. And they have not done that.

They have not at -- second two years ago was their big chance they're popular vantage the lesson of respect break into the Patriots in San Diego where the the Patriots were called classless and then last year. And here were people are expecting is much they get to the -- championship game and don't come through there. You just wonder what it would Damien -- that roster. And not producing at the level what's what were you superstar LaDainian are they going to the Super Bowl. --

We have other. I don't know but I don't know.

I out of the following four teams and so much was made of the Patriots going unbeaten last year Houston Cincinnati Detroit and St. Louis if one of them loses all sixteen. Which one would you guess it's going to be Adam.

You know I have to sit down and looked at all the schedule up for awhile there I thought Kansas City had a realistic chance of doing as they went in there installed Denver embarrassed ever. I get Detroit's schedule open right now because sort agencies did that Troy can go and sixties so just take a look right now. At Minnesota this weekend L. At Houston.

Soul. El Al central Washington. At Chicago. Jacksonville. Oh at Carolina. Three home games Tampa Tennessee Minnesota. -- At Indy and L New Orleans act three today. While they are they going to just try to do they do don't think they got -- at that that we start the -- numbers.

Yeah. At best don't think and 150 that the I would -- you actually get some breaks here and there.

You know what. That Milledge be fired for that -- really -- that struck you gotta get.

Hey did does making of the Patriots AT and of the whole thing did did Josh mcdaniels the offensive coordinator miss his most highly. Valued. I'm getting a head coaching job based on the job -- instant last year is it is -- the I'm guessing he's not a hot commodity -- won't be in this upcoming offseason that he was last year fair to --

If it's like stocks so to assert that we that we we're -- to go there right now but but what Josh mcdaniels is going to vehicle actually it is this. Okay maybe this offseason. Is value will be down seven. But like the marquis you know I believe it's gonna read that at least you'll rebound anyway at some point two years now the mission now. He can get the chance to be coached and it just. May not comment to this year.

Don't like maybe you'll be here when Belichick goes upstairs or walks away could be the biggest. I mean by then you probably have facial and it looked more like and confident that the.

I I I don't know why you want their films started -- fourth time in. It's such a part of him and I don't know why it took me to see -- giving up that was so.

So like the pitcher to the Chargers.

the charges the more desperate teams outside. And they're coming off that they're going to get just cured if they lose this game and that home and they're going against the bought the rival in a lot of I think the Patriots have a lot of issued to overcome the other two week west coast thing if they can is doing -- so Bobby's very impressed very very impressed.

At that time the recipe get out of here this idea I appreciate you get a yeah we can actually did -- at a shelter from the NFL network -- Callahan.
