Welcome some talent -- a Patriot Friday 834 pride greatest rock and ever. -- AC DC. This second choice one that's a good question. I just read the story and he was an idiot who's like a teenager went. On else's personal time I was like his first love now. Says what makes them great is not innovation or even sheer talent it's discipline. Yeah Aussie -- learn to do one thing well. -- card blues driven rock so in the words they do want -- Mets they do one thing yet I think of the word discipline I immediately think of the rock NC -- me. Absolutely Mike Vrabel saw this on the Patriots Friday. At that the the Boston Globe today Mike says AC DC as the greatest rock band in history would they be your top ten list.
They would be -- might not yet they would be number one. I.
Is who's number one.
I don't know army there Euro. -- Floyd --
Who's your favorite game day which your favorite men know they play that --
IPod long enough to -- the biggest -- they. My birthday and I lose -- my wife gets on Bartlett cricket -- pipe shop for I'd want our. So weight room and a loss that so expect I don't bother him more.
My guess is when you put your kids iPod shuffle a new one out to warm up for game day and it's a small world comes out of the the really get in the Abu doesn't Mike.
You know what they had they've they've found a Guitar Hero so a lot of our our earth that we just downloaded -- so it. --
What do you like on game day enough I mean I'm not a big AC DC that for those about to rock. Works it works with the crowd of fox or any crowd and game would you what do you like.
that the if you look at peak years yet it actually adopted it as they're they're college ball are they kind of -- a -- you -- it ain't so. I mean -- that works. You know odd yet they used to at least by god -- back Kurt Birkins Albrecht burst out here.
As Gary glitter until he's done it you know one area where go to Vietnam and lenient believes. He's. Not a it might well talk about your your your game day of preparation are you try to get yourself calm down and so read to think about what you have to do or or the other other direction.
I think those are not that you love it it's very individual that personalized. And yet -- get over there real early. Are more of those guys it would you rather get over there earlier now.
You know just get everything in order get you're just stuff ready and you know you pretty much just hurry up the -- that you know self. Start but I don't -- guys warmup I don't really have a particular. -- that I do but it it pretty much better at -- barely get ready. There -- just chill out with but yet there are.
Are there certain guys either currently teammate to teammate you've had in the past that are shall we say. Notable and obvious in their game day preparation me to come to mind Bryan Cox against the little crazy and he got ready and some of the all the Patriots used to say on game day when John -- walked into the locker room. Guys who have the lockers on -- saw a two -- down on either side would take their stuff and go somewhere else did you run into anybody like that you can rip my.
Now on the we did have anybody really Smith Betty blue Werner content and had in the locker. You know Garrett most gadget but you know listen to music -- just. You know look over their books and I get ready.
And what we're just looking over the numbers you you guys against the bills in the one that jumps out as. Since 1 year thirteen and one against Buffalo not in a row do you think do they know that the guys are lining up against even -- a number of them haven't been there for those fourteen games. And same and you guys I mean do they know that you have owned them.
I mean I'm sure it did the Buffalo media try to make -- deal -- respect. You know outbreak that they're -- At their rally point or are for Dick Jauron and his football well.
I know you guys -- coach to say it really doesn't matter nine in a row and it has no bearing on Sunday's game and you know what probably doesn't. But you're certainly aware of the number doesn't it in some way some small way have some kind of impact in in in your confidence and maybe their lack of when Sunday rolls around Mike.
Well -- that they. It really it doesn't buy it but when you who use they go wrong -- they -- it -- it good here we go again. You know at least who we. I'd be achieved against. At Michigan college and then someone go batters he would do it better here we go yet -- You can't get over it you know you got a better team more allegedly got a better team. I'll -- you know guard slips and they they catch a bomb some but I suspect are here we go out it can't figure it out.
You know when you look at the -- season they've they've been tennis -- so the first four very good the last four not so good at all when you watch the film and I don't know what you've seen -- all eight games Mike. What do you seen the difference between the good bills in the first four games and the not so good bills the last four what's the difference been.
different just been turnovers but -- when they get government. When they don't get the ball away are they're pretty successful -- You know traverse they went there when they turned the ball over don't get -- RL they haven't had set just like mostly -- leader for our sport we don't. We don't stop you'd order red zone and we we don't -- but we have talked.
Well they've had eleven turnovers in the last four games of point two Goodwin leading to thirty points. Does bill showed that film of of those turnovers and those failures and and if so is there a pattern there and something you guys can exploit on Sunday.
it you know we we see it we watched you know we watched not spell so we understand where. Nowhere to turn over Kuerten just get a lot of guys the ball at its -- read the quarterback. And you know not -- position to make or just make pleasure Expos --
Eight -- obviously but I good teams great teams championship teams Mike how does this compare after eight games halfway point. The championship seasons is there any common denominator where you could say. If things feel pretty good here we could do it this year.
Not that epic players you don't really get into. You know the compared contracts. Bottles. Arm says that people. You know -- popular we really don't -- the Middle East and it's just like everybody you know I was stuck. Personally. Injuries there weren't applying -- what -- bullet. And then a bit together with the team and if you're worried about. Our team reactor response or if -- well coached to -- area so. Miller moved up play to worry about you know daily that they'll sit there and figure out are we there to there out for a out courier. All our our.
What has that happened over the next obviously injuries are big factor. But do you feel like oh what makes you guys so good and I in the second half and down the stretch we know about Belichick and your record in in December. -- what what leads to that what makes you so good down the stretch.
Well I think it. You know a lot of times you can learn from learn -- not -- mistake twice. What what are you played at certain opponent. Are -- would they are there aren't that they've condition I'll throughout the speed and -- But we. Very well what Barrett I think I think we play well also I think a lot of those thing don't you. Just played so well late beat that you did not work in case he becomes not quick and.
dribble when the bills have success offensively. I guess the appointment would be -- lynch and Edwards but what do they do successfully specifically -- when they haven't going.
I mean that big lynched -- they got two good backs you know that that are able to you know -- tolerated. You know they run it well but but terrible to get the ball on an alleged error Edwards is able Barnum ought to check out you know I looked to those guys. You know when anything starts breakdown and and those are here. It just is dangerous catching the ball they're run it and that if not more it is no longer. -- So worried a bit short rest -- those guys -- and aren't haven't been in groundout -- but still -- like -- but -- else.
They just like I know that a Bill Belichick coached team is coach not the if to say that it doesn't matter the 19 and roll eyes in notre also coaches say. All that matters is this next game but I also know -- guys look at the schedule and -- the bills the Jets and the Dolphins somebody from the NFL network said yesterday if the Patriots run the table all of those three games builds Jets and Dolphins there's no way they win that division -- depart from the coaching that -- instilled a new and and look at these next three games and importance of the three divisional opponents week to week to week.
Crack -- you could understand that it's it's pretty significant. And you know not taking anything away from Buffalo we we know that arm. Well you know pretty significant I -- we haven't played Buffalo yet and a it has to be our first meeting in India. You know going to continue to play. Hard. In our division so all. I think you got your start where Buffalo and and play well at Edmonton and hope to win and then. And I understand that he's still got some more division game last.
In my final question Torre went with with your head coach this coaching staff and coaches on the field like -- and Bruschi. Do you feel better prepared when you play a team a second time you feel like you have more an advantage you'd done it once this year and I know they have that same advantage but you -- you guys take advantage of that more the second time you see the.
Well I'm -- that -- I'd like to think that you know if you give. You know you give -- couple cracks in the team. He's going to do what do a great job not prepared not since. I'm not that he wait for after the game I mean our coaches are doing a great job. In between series and halftime and you know certainly -- it. It import. I don't fielder went into changing so. The more people that we have looked at the mark we have our better.
