Boomer Esiason

Welcome back major Monday continue our quarterback our Boomer Esiason joins us from New York according -- aria. I'm doing good guys happy Thanksgiving hopefully your weekend was better than near. Football team played yesterday. -- yours is better than your football team as well get all week ago -- I -- what was the better road -- the Jets over the Titans in Tennessee with a path to the Dolphins in Miami to -- reverse all the about a week later what was the more damaging -- blocks the Jets losing to the Broncos for the pats getting stomped by the Steelers.

I would they would beat down Sunday create peace with the exception of the Dolphins I'm not big -- number terrible although I do know that the Brewers are really good Democrat go to last week. That that this is not going to be any games of -- because you have the best -- at the football -- sound and I know that Matt had played well the previous two weeks. It was going to be a wake up call out of some Becton and over that the turnout the cleanup for the Jets. I mean who could figure out the -- I mean one week there you know whether they're beating Atlanta and Atlanta which is no equality when and then the next week. He did -- home by the Oakland Raiders I mean does that make any that. I guess that would happen they probably what is more shocking to me is what the fact that the Jets cable almost 500 yards of total offense. The game that was played in the same kind of condition that the Patriots put there was.

You know it's it's all virtually impossible week to week to throw what is the best team in the National Football League certainly. Some of that credit must go to New York Giants but they knew what Tennessee play -- well -- they are into the Jets beat Tennessee to the Jets are pretty formidable what I watched last night with Pittsburgh the Pittsburgh plays like that the rest of the year accuracy -- people beating the Steelers.

I manager -- you know that the thing about it that there kind of an enigma at home you know that they lose games at home that are really it opens one open and then Ben Roethlisberger played one. Is better and last night. -- a lot of that was -- and the fact that there was no pressure -- very little -- the pressure by the Patriots and you know one when you don't -- your own be sent to Pittsburgh DP that's why -- it was last night. And all you have to do win games just don't turn on the football -- earned. I guess with the exception of the interception a Mike Vrabel. For the most part this it was quite pretty clean came in your deep -- really make plays for you -- And exactly what did -- of course you screw up a kickoff return and then you have fumble you know. Because -- back. And Matt Light had a tough game yesterday then all of a sudden you know the dynamic changes in the apartment short field and pretty much the recipe for the Steelers.

If you think that Matt Cassel had already gotten over the hump or pretty game like yesterday. Have long term effects boomer could affect his confidence going forward.

I shouldn't I mean you know offensive. And about two imported and I think Tom Brady would attest that this is much as I would. They're going to be those weeks we've -- you know when you're gonna get -- entity and that's exactly what happened to. The Patriots just -- before we just signed off or pregame show out of all of these guys thought I would say you're going to find out about -- today there's this notion that may be. You know which should trade Tom Brady keep Matt Cassel well -- going to find out because you know Tom Brady was five and want to -- great Stuart James. I don't have so you know that this you're team as good as the one. You know that that Tom had beaten over the last few years. But you can find out about Matt Cassel and in back capsules and find out about the at a fell in the -- as a very on forgiving place. It's a humbling place what you figured he. We can just get it figured out. Along comes another team and they beat you down and I think the Jets appear on that today another awful pulled a feeling that today and certainly -- well.

I wonder about want to watch the Steelers you get Dick the ball gets a lot of credit in the zone blitz in the and they confusing looks to give a quarterback on the -- why doesn't everyone do that why is it so. Unique to the to the Steelers and the -- can't. Other teams just emulated and zone that's the way they don't.

That's their culture though -- army and -- you're gonna -- the okay. Every team has whatever culture that you know or reputation matters so whether -- It is the angle that coltart bogeyed that that call 185 Beers they've -- really have an -- on me to pick on them but that's kind of case in point they've always been -- of pain the team team may have been a great. I'd -- at the table when you look at the Steelers. About the linebackers the linebackers are outstanding. All -- guys they have on the field. Pretty much altered stay on the field up for any situation that draft or when you. Watch how the way James Harrison plays and -- nominated him might be that the player of the year now because he gets actually forces fumbles but because he. He covers -- Polamalu interception. Mac Apple's trying to hit Ben Watson down the middle and who has right hip pocket it's James Harris and you know in his very. Small windows that the pro and they play their very best game they put pressure on you. And you know it's it's not easy to kind of take that culture and stick on your own team and generally don't have a -- you know. To look at and that I think the Steelers for years have always had great linebackers that's where that -- parents. Excel and and they put a lot of pressure on matchups and not like I'm about yesterday.

A boomer -- certainly be easy excuse for drops and fumbles an excuse the -- that'll put the well in any event how much do other than that how much students like Ryan Clark Wes Welker really add to the drops and -- play by the opposition.

Well I'll fit that you know obviously but Wes Welker out of the game yeah but that's that's right first and foremost it's a huge loss for the pitcher off -- I don't sort of Randy Moss had a terrible and yes I don't know -- it was because he was intimidated by -- I would do would be really hard to intimidate anymore I just think that the weather had you know an adverse effect on him I don't know what his comments were after the game. But by F I looked to be at the game and it says okay you know like bought it at. Struggle in the game. You know Randy Moss would be at -- as that would take that out I would get operable and yeah and they need to take any one of the of the secondary guys as a for the Patriots so. Not -- madcapped but have a break -- while he did but he certainly couldn't help but you all but drop. Mr. they knocked out you know -- well right now but in the dynamic changes and you lose your most important player especially on third down.

Does that bother you and should it bother us to see Randy Moss in the in a game that has not yet out of hand at the start of the fourth quarter on the slide -- with one of his teammates laughing and seemingly having good time after having dropped a couple of critical passes.

You know I saw that as well and I don't know what the discussion was I don't know what they were talking about I don't know why. You know they were having this conversation I would just say this I would always be careful to jump to conclusions and organized say that is because. You know big cameras -- the -- all the time on them. And you know the directors and producers are all looking or a shot. That is going to you know maybe have a long lasting effect where they're being negative shot -- shot. And I I always hate to jump to conclusions. You know on Randy has been a great player for the Patriots. I'm not ready to sit here and say that you know laughing. Cardinal law I don't know -- know why that was the -- just they have until somebody -- from the direct questions in regard that. And he gives an answer. And I'd -- I would get.

And didn't seem like whatever he does works you know he's not going to get suicidal over couple drops spot in the ways always bad. It's kind of worked for a few years in this league now Matthew Slater he might never recover and I mean I don't he was laughing on the sidelines that you gotta wonder. Next time is a kickoff is where next and as a big plate and -- on him. Maybe Slater is is so skittish because. Yesterday's disastrous performance that he can't bounce back from.

Yeah well I mean that's a million dollar question for a lot of these kids -- start the quarterback position that but -- one over. When you make acquiring error like -- did yesterday avid game but he did. Now the sudden you know you're Scott pioli and bill coach -- brad -- guy's going to be watching him and how he practices and how he moves forward obviously when they don't put them back out there. Next to kick off to realize okay you know we've had a mistake here in -- it is going to basically. Be put down on the sideline and he. Going to be you know made an example that's always been I think the most up and it more than in the Patriot. -- plan and ideas -- and it was the terrible slightly you know it and it was at one of those to start the game. And when you take Olympic those two plays out on either side still the Patriots got their. Brains beat him I mean the fact that that points that the urged it would be.

Bull run I'd like to look at it's much optimist by nature -- and if I'm. Yeah yeah yeah by nature an epic -- that. Plaxico Burress is hamstring that's bothered him much anymore do you think the hamstring problem is not. An issue anymore.

I was owner or you know what bat. Well I don't think answering issues. An issue anymore guys I -- now it's an issue of -- How -- we now get out of this thing is that no wires here in the or out -- laws. And I'm going to try to save mart -- well I don't think it'll be a giant that idea though that again today. Giant. And should do -- possibly can once the hold legal process that it ruined my question you guys I mean which is -- you know taken and gone and taken into a club in new York New Jersey. Shooting yourself in the five or trying to get out of New York with a comment -- impacted yours you like your reports from mop.

And do you go to like some doctor that's like not licensed music just patch me back stairway Vietnam.

I haven't read the -- morning but there report that you -- to find out where I'm -- what -- and don't worry though. Keep this on the down low. We should keep on shot on the and then I would make matters worse is that you that it appears with. I -- they -- Antonio. From a again -- and that situation. Trying to help audio out trying to keep the you know the collateral damage to him. Can understand. But I will say it I used to have my vote I'll play. We go out -- shoot yourself who aren't around the and obviously and probably. I mean it's not going to be hanging around you know you'd trying to figure out whether or not you know shot themselves from real shot on the.

It correctly -- wrong if he's convicted is that not mandatory jail time near boomer.

Yet they -- down here and Michael Bloomberg's administration really has fought very hard. So to and act which they considered the -- most up as the top of our Kong law. In the country in that it that it eleven I'm lies and loaded firearm in the city of New York. And they argue with that are are proof that you one of those you could have for an apt mandatory. Three at your man well that. But I'm sure that you know it is going to be a lead here I'm sure there's going to be some sort of look in his past there were no on part that I know -- you don't want something -- history I have no idea but I can not imagine the owners of the New York -- The -- in the cage and only. Putting up with anymore what goes on that. And -- and bigger pictures that we put Antonio Pierce their defensive captain animal kind of fire part that upon a lot of fire. I'm sure that there's going to be some disciplinary action taken towards him as well in August and up that this could have upset him makes that upset other parts.

I heard you say that -- in the to be back with the Giants yesterday on the you know on the pregame show and I'm wondering what is there immediate plan of action I mean obviously he can't go because of a gunshot wound -- not start with only paychecks from him -- short.

Yeah they can't and they -- but the Arctic and money back from the in the bonus the -- be at 11 bonus that all happening here is that well you know on the -- allowable legal process. Take its course and man you know Horry and the other. Or scenes information that we don't know at this point. I would I would match in the boat you know knowledge and not make any decision and so after that on the court and I would imagine. The giants' Plaxico probably be quite something. On the power in the they camp out within this is ridiculous I mean it is it is that given the worst the net especially after all the article problems that he would at with a giant is is party at which beat. Which will hear he's been suspended for games he's been deactivated for games he's been held -- games and manages. One thing after the next and I would think that this should be western -- Your job on the way it is with them.

21 they won and and and I guess shouldn't go two ways you can let it affect you distract you or you can kind of rally around NC you know we don't need Plaxico is -- is. And clearly Coughlin has succeeded in getting the guys that. To move on without Plaxico isn't it isn't an amazing coaching job Koppel has done over these two years boomer.

Really it has been. I mean veteran members of the -- last year guys and a lot of people wanted him fired. You know they're there we're not playing well they had that are all home record date it's awful losses but Washington Minnesota at home. They went up the ball well. Want to -- a game in weather like we saw yesterday. And of course they have the Patriots last game of the season now the Giants have already been in the -- to that point but. I mean this the other one of the quarterback. Coach down here and you know that's the amazing part of a whole -- Summation am going and doing what they do plastered on the playoffs and of course -- Patriots but. They've even more impressive is the fact that there are 101. They're planning absolutely fantastic football right now nobody. Close -- them. When it comes to you know their running game he spent any time Manning has that game.

A lot of reasons Washington for Washington win that game you know eleven it was Sean Taylor day it was in Washington it was. The Plaxico distraction it was all set up for a a bump in the road for the Giants.

Every right and you know I mean they've been outscored him. -- not been in the second half Washington never even had a chance to -- war. Jason Campbell was really did you last 5 weeks that I -- When -- try to Airgas but he couldn't get there was no room for am. I mean it was -- again it was in the yet it was weird -- apartment and into. Visiting teams. You know one yesterday. And believe it Minnesota -- last all so it it was really a wild then and at a target they're wanting helped -- now with the fact that -- are still about well.

They -- wrap this up with a one final of the Patriots game -- seems to me they kind of perform and he had deadly daily double. They were continuing to be porous in the red zone defense by the Patriots and there were one of thirteen in third down efficiencies. Which one of those two a devastating aspects would worry you more your Bill Belichick that are trying to fix that going forward.

Well given effect -- developed there's always been a defensive minded head coach -- because they're deep and all we made the key plays. In the -- on. Are we talked about a tipped ball by Mike Vrabel or play by -- Q Rodney Harrison nor. He spent the player forcing a fumble inside when he our line which has always been kind of a moniker for the that's that the pitchers deep and I would people word about red zone and I know that my offense is going to be linemen know that. You know not always play the the best he -- in football that was Bogut score a lot of points I would be more -- in more concerned about. Red zone and get better in the article.

Good talking to appreciate the title talk the next -- they'll pay 200. Our guys have a great week always great talked.

I know our condolences and Maryland it was a it -- on the game at their best show.

I was trying to go about going now. I appreciate.

I think I think it I don't think well freaky could eat for like ten minutes is is appetite is gone after that loss.

You see your mr. positive. I just love that about it. However right they got to talk to that sweet science Dennis and Callahan.
