I joining us right now part of our Friday grouping is Matt Light -- that. -- don't got. That good. Yeah appeared very. Got to forget given up one on Sunday we're talking about this much on what you did. Two next Thursday. But the fact that you've got two quick games here was only a few days in between. And better that you're doing it against a division fall we really know these guys.

Yeah I'm like I guess. -- you're -- pick if you'd probably want to have -- against people that you're familiar with them you know I think that. You know even though it's going to be a quick turnaround. You know it is what it is then at least we do have that importantly we do have some familiarity with these guys.

It is what it is that have been saying down there hasn't earned a degree in Canada --

No well it just me it's and our world you did that that solely -- You know we're going to -- ever going to. It everyday at practice we're going to prepare and you work of -- the way it is Purdue limited.

Through it's it's seems like you know we ask you this going to weekly basis obviously the progression of Matt Cassel riots in which you guys is of he has forced him out of pocket presence. That was by the best one out of the shoots you guys up front is -- five -- Matt Cassel combined effort that we've seen in these games.

You know I'd be glad whenever I have been as a rookie that you guys induced me we needed an and I think that you guys here are overly critical you think. You know. Whatever you -- guys have been in your starting quarterback. -- going to be scrutinized quite a bit but. -- from our standpoint. President art team. Despite all of this -- field though were taken steps each week. We get a little bit better and so war of the things we have done so well Detroit just you know improve and be at the big -- he could do at this point to beat him because. You know what the will be a big game last night and it just seems like so many teams are -- deal so when he -- respectfully. What accounts -- injuries and I think that you know world war like in new book is out there were in or so when guys in this world related -- have. You know my experience. Were asking guys to step up in. You know really contribute and I think that you know he's he's -- part of that and he's a part of but Matt epic it you know -- of that but you know our team you know -- allowed there's this season.

That would Aaron Schobel out -- a ball -- practice this week. I mean you've been with these guys of terror and now he's injured again that's what it is what it is a.

It's. Be a little different because you know. Obviously -- and I both tremendous St. Simons. You know we've we've faced each other that great battles you know. His place than here and let's -- you. He's one of those hired guys that it is. He is continually making plays then and it state LB for a long long time and it's like -- to -- the first beat. You know gear up for both blow and not really you know prepare for them like -- have.

All right how much film you watched this week on Copeland Bryan and Chris Ellis.

Well probably -- noted that as much to -- you know. --

When you when you got a different guy in there and and obviously we we we all know it -- good she'll list when you when you've got a different guy. Do you have to spend a little bit more time and it what's this guys technique what does he do best one how can I. Make sure of them are protected when I've got to do here.

Sure you have never everybody does I think that. It's it's it's even more so well like your attitude that if you you don't have a familiarity that you don't learn. You know who they are what they do really well I think that. You know bills but he all the way to effectively -- to -- to go back it is the other place -- You guys don't play the player like you do awfully good guys you know -- on the road. Yet the look at all -- thank the look for tendencies and and obviously we get another tired -- and other way to David Rabinowitz you know it's fielder a lot of speed. A lot of movement -- are a lot of things that -- that -- that. They're going to present a lot of problems for palm. You don't basilica waited for the game so just but it ought to what like last week -- it and be when they were. In I get -- out of the field you know very fast these that. You know a lot they do a lot of but it students Eric computers so this will be a big step.

Map when you watch film he basically watch what the last four games in. This is a team that got out of the blocks quick you know they played out front of people last couple weeks kind of downhill for them. What -- some of the problems and -- where they turn football over they just blown assignments.

Well -- try to look diplomat respected RB a lot of what I do is you know break it down. But I want the entire game obviously but allow it to my. But he is you know third down an editor get out of their first down. Well it could be all out -- but I think that I think do you think about Buffalo you think about you know what record that it beat that that very bad in. You know that they can make a lot of plays at all -- that -- weapons. And you know. To a guy like oh let's remember their group and I think that ever. Very big physical but we want to think that. The other big characteristic of Buffalo's effect they have a very very very very disciplined special teams. Com those guys make a lot of plays. You know added up big we've shown that. When you have a special teams ago a long way it felt it -- game and an art but it isn't playing great. You know heroic episode of field position that put the other team long field and -- special teams are big are these games.

No well we've been talking this week of how important this game is. Mostly because the AFC east is has become incredibly tight. In the last three weeks or so do you guys -- do you guys talk about that all was that a factor in your thinking of them as it goes long.

Yeah I think every that it played. The -- you know it's doubly. Part of your mind that you know that the chance. You know dip. Get one more game up you know you'd never -- out domestic -- never know what exactly they're determining factor it's just that you do what you do good or -- go a long way and let you know for girl miracle that is. You know who won the division and give him well.

Not -- scheduling wise you know with a short week coming up then went with Thanksgiving his coach you know look forward or. We still just trying to get past Buffalo thirty. Do you really know how you can approach everything with the Jets with Miami -- nicely off before that game.

And yeah enemy you know you worked so program will you know goes the room and you know muster. Don't expect Monday could be a date could be away and they could be per unit and you know we will be. And you know it will be -- at this point. And it is going to come down oh well we can prepare. Short week in and get ready to play you know. And then vehicle that not a very.

Hey -- how frustrating was last week's game in that you had a terrific game plan I thought you guys played very well. In all facets of the game and yet a couple of plays here -- there. Made the difference in the win or loss.

It always been the Buick -- and I think even more so when you're on the road. You know it'd. Obviously. And we even went out and hopefully we love to have. Some you know. For whatever reason it didn't go away and I think that. You know that game com. Even though we didn't we didn't leave it -- with a win. It did. We we did show some things that we are able to do. You know like give Matt the sometimes it which is very very deep and brought. You know I think we also. Move the ball pretty well which to record game plan and we're -- The most part. All of those drive obviously we didn't we were able to finish off a red zone. What we -- to. Internet but you know obviously a bit of a concern but -- that would work on those statements about that you know we don't feel -- do. They were therefore. -- It's just we gonna make a few more of these plays -- need to respect but on the road. Yet figured he'd -- it would. --

a lot of Franzen and people would enjoy the team they've they've seen that that Matt Cassel just looks. That much more coffin in the pocket threw it is that translated in practice or during the week remodel.

Yet you know I've I've felt like he'd he'd had a great attitude men and brought -- you don't eat breakfast and really prepare our you know -- tired so you'd think for -- just. You -- really for us just don't go out there and give him the confidence that he could stand back there duties and -- look you know. Whenever the were you know we we that the people get back there -- our mayor whoever was the quarterback -- take -- look back through. You don't or whatever happens could be your -- backpack and a next epic game expecting to have so you know it always starts up front -- let him do his thing. Of I felt like his -- pretty continue to -- think if you get better. It's opposite got to get you know more more -- he's going to feel better back there were -- bit more like.

And what was the last time you were Purdue when after a five game losing skid you guys look forward to playing Michigan to snap that.

Like -- what what the next game. And it definitely gave him. But it was it is it's it's going to -- would be able America better. -- that but that Michigan game did did help sued a little bit and be that the pain you know it was. Proposed Gabriel looked you know like you know we -- all. And had no biscuit that have been -- it or Everett -- but it was tight. Finally went right.

It's also Brady was around this week -- would give him crap fort.

I think -- feel about strongly. And I'd do the outfield needed. Could dump the big -- that.

I'm -- talk to an actually good luck Sunday. -- New England Patriots by the way it is official picture on announcing today that he left for starters. Some game. Right guard Brad Butler out defensive end Aaron Schobel we just talked about him out Schobel by the same answer to rip it. Games yeah guys goes into great great spin moves and NASDAQ has had a great multi car safety Donte Whitner out series of the game. And wide receiver guy who read -- bored with that guy a guy talk about you guys get the soft tag. That's -- has puffed out regions as Josh Reed former LSU kid you know that's a great expectations for him you know even when we drew first one of the Buffalo. He thought that he had a chance to be to those are significant. Players here guys all the horsemen -- yeah I hate blitz up the middle you talk about pushing the pocket that they've got a big Vincent Seymour company that to be licking her chops on the I'm telling you liked his game better batters you know outside the pocket a year booty. Is out as well Leo the quarterback you are -- yeah. Our conversation with Matt Light powered every Patriots Friday but clean energy action done. And wasteful energy coast and up and cheer about that good energy solutions. Clean energy action got any strong wind and a lot more divorced when he Google. Through operates.
