Matt Light, Patriots OL

heading to Buffalo for the final game of the regular season but for Patriots fans. Hampshire Patriot players opened up the final game. Of the season unfortunately not up to the Patriots they can win it take care of business and help the things fall their way in the 4 o'clock games joining us on the eighteenth -- Patriots Friday eighteenth tee you're world delivered. It's Matt Light offensive lineman for the Patriots Matt liken Joe happy holidays.

Yeah you -- MLB get that a great there's. They have Torrealba but it didn't.

Why at a site guys that practice off yesterday so I think we shoot back at you hope you had a good Christmas Day as well.

You know I really enjoyed -- got a lot out of bed and made a lot of oracle back on the other Bjorkman. It is really enjoyed you know -- the other.

what is the the left tackle that are he has everything get for Christmas was a guy like that have under the tree.

You know honestly. At -- I'm going to try this or not but I tried the old tactic oh why they looked like he'd get on the learn a lot about that at that they you know -- it it didn't work and but you know I think you're right -- it's hard because it gives. Especially during the season for us so I always try to technique we know for -- just -- Harvick is. And watch -- them open the present that that's great if you could that it's incredible to watch their faces. Here excitement and feel -- so ago.

What were the kids into this year when it look look at the stuff they rip it open.

I don't nobody ever in my daughter's big in the art supplies -- local let up and she got a you know. The I. One that's for awhile and the boys they. It tore a -- future exits where he can combine all of the train. They're morning. Then they had a good day.

Artsy you've you've cleaned up the the wrapping paper your back practice here today. I talk about this Buffalo Bills team a team you beat earlier this year but a team that late in the year they they just fell short beaten the Jets here Matt. They went on the road and beat Denver top placed to win -- week seventeen a must win for you guys that up pretty good divisional upon the Buffalo Bills.

Yeah having a really good -- That they're really good all the on the middle they're very they're very upbeat and could be that the really relentless style play. I think that you know they're they're really well coached and they have great they think via a a lot of players that that really fit that system and for us. You know you'd you'd never look at that seem like that in and think that. You know it's going to be over early on this is going to -- of those games come down -- the -- played in their place you know they've got a lot of momentum especially after last week it. And I have a lot of guys that you know in their locker room you know they're going to go out there and fight to open area so. He noted that they're very physical probably their lives you know linebacker wire up like late in the second period like that. You know makes about so -- have to -- that's worked out there.

What's -- what's it like playing football in Buffalo in in late December can you paint a picture for everybody out there what it's like a lake for you as far as the conditions got.

With it's it's a pretty desolate area thought we we stayed downtown. You know. And he goes you know and there and it's just like there's four people might see all of down -- That you that you didn't take that. -- Awkward drive up the middle of nowhere and some may than there's the stadium it's. -- they always have a break out exactly and that are really support of Austria. CO. But why get its outlook or what part they'll all around. People people fired bank open. In the parking like it after. You know it's it appeared -- pretty. You know it's it's a lively stadium but it's it's pretty desolate and out there -- what you ago vacation.

So I noticed that you that you mentioned nothing about the cold on is that just not faze you as an offensive linemen are you gonna -- gonna be out there showing not the python's off with a without sleeves and stuff like that are what what happened.

Yeah have a garter snake out. And you know it didn't -- it it's -- so much and it looked. You know if it does get really nasty out they're I think that. You know you'll -- prepare for those type elements but you know we're used to play -- those again. We've had we've had quite a string here -- so you know I don't think really the temperature -- as albeit they expect they're. It's always -- considered or expected to deal with relative calm down. You know how well we line up well against you know -- all the all the matchups that we. It is you know it when those afflicted. Good on offense and these. To beat this team is there a talent -- well.

Matt if you -- take care business in Buffalo on Sunday allowed the regular season with eleven wins and and you know there are smaller things have to happen. Gotta make the tournament for this Patriots team. Have you thought about it just that scenario that if you get eleven wins and he still might not play in the playoffs this year.

What and that's obviously the possibility you know that. It's not going to be -- not overly. You know fortunate to have you know been a part of this season and and what we don't accomplish in the -- shared his experiences with -- it's never easy. You know. You know position like we're about you know where you know really the only thing we can -- was -- as -- And I thought that we can do if we take care of business you know thoughtful and you know hopefully we do get a shot to go on and opinions policies that we haven't equity and got a lot of guys -- up for the challenge in could be a lot of on the continue to. So play here and the other aspect all goes and it's going to be an interest in grunt and I just hope there's abuse.

But it by winning Sunday Maggie put -- position. If you thought about the high you keep track what happens after that game year your divisional rivals Jets and Dolphins play a big one the could affect. What happens to your team as do the Ravens in Jacksonville. If you do when you're fortunate that -- eleven wins it as a player. Do you immediately start to try to find out -- follow those 4 o'clock games to see what happens for your team.

Yeah sure sure a lot of ought to. And I think -- I think it's all of individual. I I ago -- 2. The other. Ago at these games of justice so much. You know. Is that that you really want to keep playing -- so much that it that this says. Leaders which and we got you know look at that regular -- vote impacted. People or out of it but you know is that the bottom line is when one -- all old. --

Now watching is one thing but I and I assume they'll be TV's on the plane coming back -- at some that we are you actively rooting for Brett Favre Eric Mangini the the entire Jets organization in the game like that. -- That's smart move that you've learned well.

Easier for his team to make the playoffs -- for -- ago you talked about this Buffalo defense and obviously Aaron Schobel. Who's been a great player and I'm off on is as been banged up duty injuries. -- preparing to protect Matt -- when your offense on Sunday. Who were some of the guys that that jump off the tape BQ in the film and you already faced them once this year guys that you know you have to account for now Buffalo defects.

I think all that they'll play within that system really well you know whether the you know they're expected year. You know what they do up front I -- you know to get it in calcium outside in the mix a couple of the guys that are as well. You know and and and an inside look at the other big guys inside -- some some real problems but. You know I think I picked up on those guys work well here they run a lot of game -- effectively. That was package. You know -- they've been like. And it would like to get after that I become that you have the middle that like future appeared saw me -- that they'll play really well what they. Their linebackers are guys that are very active that in -- on to predict -- you know. And it -- with an adequate expected there they're very very. In depth to get off blocks or in. Making guys miss so. I think you wouldn't -- want -- seem -- awfully -- what --

you alluded to this a little bit but just you know win lose or draw no matter what happens on Sunday whether you you know you finish 115 and they'll make -- you know you get in. Just talk a little bit about that the pride you have for this team playing through all the injuries just from the very first moments of the first quarter with Brady going down throughout the season and some of the players we've seen step up from some of the rookies do. A guy like junior say out leaves the surf in the sand of San Diego for the snow globe and New England here for the last few weeks of the season just from getting to and what you kind of experienced this season so far.

Yet at peace at all. I mean clearly that we think about a lot of this stuff. You know every now on them -- to do -- here actually -- and go all the stuff but really. You know -- that this is almost through seasons. You know. You know so many ups and downs but there has been so -- guys that late really. Out there and whatever we week -- this is just a lot -- diversity and everything else which become expect. You know from year to year in the league in. It's really proud of the effort guys put into it so it is our coaches and you owe it to our ownership everybody else you know rallies aren't guys that are out there and it's just exit replaced.

You know get your get their team that tournament on Sunday.

I. Appreciate that like joining us hearing Patriots Friday. On Sports Radio W -- no comment for just Mangini and the Jets.
