I backed it makes joke -- the chassis and house all lackeys in the house at six or seven. 779850. Toll free 888525. 850 will get the phone calls hernia a couple of minutes. The football guys year on Friday. Currently -- on the phone right now. -- Are you doing all right. Pixel pitch well and my dad got me about take -- this past week. A lot different right. From the get go something clicks something happened something go on during the course of the week. Because you guys came out you focus you were physical in that game on Sunday.

While Matt -- generalization. That doesn't start we have well and we can't really you know skirt around the subject and and play a different player different style -- we got to mop. Be ready to go and they'll try to China's -- that struck began so or or certainly and it didn't get the rampant. Note Internet. Don't really come on all right out of our problems so -- of the -- Toronto to a daughter -- output.

Mike did you think it was at the tendency in the previous weeks to maybe. Not understand that you had to move on based on everything that happened a loss of the Brady I mean did you did you get that feeling.

Well I think it is it is going to be important -- that move ordered really RB they understand that -- a week or everyday at legion. You could be with someone don't quit without pan out now certainly that indicate the last couple weeks that they keep dealer. They're different backs don't downer. Which question and in Rodney situation. Or so are we pretty much had to deal that route that it would. -- understanding that whoever's out there are expected to let our level.

But he's ready. Thought of that consistently as revenue -- more fun out there. Fly right.

You know it's. That on an immediate yet it's been an -- you know you're not making it -- its users sponsored chart -- You know. It's. You know it's tough to do. You -- it would make play to create energy.

Mike obviously this isn't the greatest show on turf field ramps teams of the past but it's a team you guys don't -- lot of -- and NFC team. How much charters at this week get ready for them say opposed say you know team like the Jets to see twice a year.

Well I think from. Personnel standpoint it. Is different because there are new faces in the one that we haven't based. -- it you know certainly they're they're no shortage of our superstar starter Erik Bedard great quarterback a lot of that -- but he. An extremely hot at running back who you know really has the ability to take it it is it arm. You know ready -- need to -- beat -- Eric Eric Eric Eric Eric occurred back. He could bust -- 120 our yard run our -- You know -- that's like a bat eight you don't quit the explosion to to -- ticket that yards were out.

Talking about the Jackson obviously. Multifaceted. Running back bill was talking to a son on Monday about. That they use him and so many different ways that he he he he's he's lines up differently how difficult does that make it for you guys. In that. You've got to figure out where he is at all times.

Well I think sometimes they can beat Beckett but you know. Be dirty each year Barrett because. You don't when you're out there you have to be focused you have to -- it it eat -- say you know what you know back talks said. And none more so what are gender strike it took that -- over our lot back Kirk. Eat out in the it is slot at the speaker so I think. If you let your guard up and it make it that much he irritated that bulked -- and try to understand what's going on our boy.

I -- watched enough film by an out you see any difference in the way they play from when they were. I had Linehan -- coaches to win they've had hasn't last couple games. Aside.

I think it they don't offensively. -- our biggest -- coordinated and others bill La. You know pretty similar but they're just up tempo and Garrett to major -- they're -- take -- shot downfield and they hit big play in. Ever imagine that defensively -- their final out better. You know it is just lottery for Chara. You know he just looked the last two weeks to. -- NB indication of that -- a closer look Adam earlier in the year which it do a little bit but I think -- look at. The last two games at the Durant -- probably going to eat. --

But it goes back to we've just -- him out there having fun right now obviously from an emotional standpoint. Might be the same personality may be run on the same stuff but. You know upstairs -- film a lot better more fun Linda please let me know.

I mean I think. You know I know Jim Matt Murton. You know pretty obvious they. You know knows it pretty well a lot by it would under -- at their -- very passionate guy about what all of them surely hear Bedard great though it ought.

Mike and I don't run a car team you know to get the first unit offense rate to play. We've stationary Watson some of the things you know the Rams are replicating your team is doing. It defects to get the already is its St. some of this same stuff that you guys in Pittsburgh when he Rivera has.

I am -- you know take a little bit that I can remember -- in a long time by. You know I'm not Italian boy that well back then anyway so yeah -- at it and there's a little carried over and.

You know eat eat red streak or in Pittsburgh but it -- they'd stop and now. That was good you know he was under power you know built like three or so that would get him get rarity with it now at -- I think it -- to coach you coach and audit their that the.

I was talking more like dead blitz zone stuff -- already dropped the ends up is especially going up against a guy like castle hill you know -- only make -- six start. That's forget trouble thoroughness -- you know it was D linemen.

Well I mean hey whatever you want to call -- they buried others are ready to go arm. You know whatever you want to dial the call on Sunday or whatever you think in the rest and it went out I got what they are marked -- the worry about.

You mentioned the the big play capability the St. Louis as you did a great job against Denver not so much against San Diego. -- that saw -- a big point of emphasis again this week.

You know our Spirit they -- you look at. What do we had. And we had failure due to look at the big play and you can look at penalty and I expected those bank. You know are going to be a oh really. A long way. Determine the outcome of the game brought back out required. Jamaica in -- and spoke you are you know or that that's pretty frustrating bird are all bad though. But on the on the flip side you go to plate and -- or six yards. You know they're rated daughter -- upgrade so they're fresh -- it got dark about it don't we have every week aimed. The limit big play and they'd be smart with adequate.

Mike what was the feeling last week when Rodney went down I know that I noticed that you. Gathered some of the players together at at the time what what was that feeling like.

frustrated from a personal standpoint because. -- did you have much broadly put into it heartbeat away not a bad person here -- that he. And Eddie you know related to -- pushed me get their inept. There are now -- all year are staying -- and you keep working out during the week. And running dirt track. -- Horry he would he would put shut it starts. It just it just frustrated dart like that. You know get injured.

James Sanders better now now he's a veteran presence back you think why he's you know he's a pretty young guy. It now -- weather's got a step and you get some young guys and a corner house James been a practice this week.

Spam and Diaw did it. -- here. Just. Eddie Barrett Barrett -- noses up you know all of call let me get all the you know gave it like game -- communicate well look out there now have pepper you know Q your belt. But James. Would be the last Carter ordered out or that -- out there.

Michael talking and actually get regret what this weekend. Yup Mike Vrabel like -- of the Patriots. Mike's actually going to be involved in the rugged right for kids family night event that we're doing on Monday November 24 beat about it. But down the road was going to be a terrific night we've done it before with Mike. And Lawrence Maroney did this last year -- going to do it this year with the electrical and I'll tell you -- it's great that we might be able to bring kids out. And sort of help wonderful programs --

Mr. that I missed -- another 800 million dollar activity and hot and go up. All -- good guys here and it was schoolers who idolized him.
