Came on the radio station and said there is a 99 point 9% chance. Peppers would not be a member of the Patriots in the upcoming year.

    game appears she. Would have been that restricted create. It. The battle Jordan Gross on the very -- the Atlantic. Apply their franchise tag of course plot Julius. The bat well they in changed dramatically now the Patriots are there at the -- Philadelphia. Audits and kings that Al and about. Draft ammunition. At least make it interest. But I just just not sure that there's going to be a scenario where that I don't question that the Patriots would like to get a bargain deal. For Julius Peppers that I felt but the Packers which kept understand it's not a deal even like that Matt Cassel -- Where the Patriots

    Schefter tells John and Gerry that Julius Peppers will NOT be a Patriot this coming season

    julius peppers found at 1:03, 2:52, 4:02

    all they want you and we go to bed rest the morning. Julius Peppers will not be an -- Patriots -- And it will happen for all the reasons that you mentioned. Partly because of the pending contract situations of those other Patriot players partly because. New England would have to invest enormous sum of money in Julius Peppers . Part because it would take like habitation because of that I know the word on the street is let him go this second round pick that. Think that they got from Matt Cassel the 34 overall selection in -- that would seem to make sense but. There a couple of technicalities to point out first and foremost. The Carolina Panthers. Right now are not allowed. To trade Julius Peppers because he hit -- this franchise tender. When Matt Cassell signed his franchise tender. That gave the Patriots the right. To trade
    enormous sum of money that you're going to have to invest in Julius Peppers for starters you're going to talk about a deal that. Basically changes the dynamics of the salary short short in the locker room. When you've got pending deals coming up with Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork. You're talking about a deal that. I think Woodson Julius Peppers . Is a great player but when he talked people -- believe -- he flashes it is always come through when it matters
    How assure you that Julius Peppers is not going to play the Patriots next year. 99 point 9% short while while.

    julius peppers found at 1:48, 3:24, 4:14

    doesn't make a lot of sense. For the Patriots. To bring in. Julius Peppers . He's a great name me the big name right front I don't -- Iran you know I just I don't I don't
    players they do a great job anyway. I'm I'm not sure. I Julius Peppers . Had a tremendous wonderfully scored. And does that mean you can't play football obviously look at his numbers guy at four and
    free agency and they haven't gone after the Albert Haynes worth the Julius Peppers would be -- category. Not the Fred -- nodding a terrific player. Great signing in Joey Galloway. You know Leigh Bodden . They they've. They're presenting teacher Sanders yeah Williams. You know I think for many Patriots fans. And and especially those. Who just work who have been looking for some reason why ballot checked it -- yet because what he did was wrong. And and -- Jerry's mind especially somehow this would justify. The trade of Cassell and Vrabel Kansas City for the second round pick in you know if -- and -- second round pick for Julius Peppers . I I think at times because Belichick is so smart and he has. We have a tendency to give him like supernatural

Mike Vrabel is joining us on the eighteenth the hotline. AT&T your world delivered -- you don't today Steve -- Advice -- great tomorrow. Michael what is it about the Belichick's system that he can move players around and im really not lose that much it is no coincidence the Miami Dolphins have gone through this year with very few injuries in the Patriots have had a lot. In yet you guys have hung together. Well I mean I think Derek.

We do a good job of just. Understand what we have to do. I think -- well coach I think it I think a lot of us. That player that -- target our our burst island. You know complaint or one position I think that they look at those guys -- and know that they're going to need to do more than once thanks so. I think that -- that by design you know I think you don't you don't want to have a much injury you don't have a lot of guys -- You know sooner or later going to happen.

Mike out of his team handled the change in routine with the with Thursday off for Christmas.

Well Matt -- weird to predict the work. You know come back with a -- short you know. Quick day off on Monday cornerback on Tuesday awards that go -- Bigger -- there there -- upbeat tempo was good and and not. There are you come back today and you kind of just. You try to refocus on. Oh really what we had to do it and really worry about possible.

Mike we were talking about Sunday's game a few minutes ago and obviously you guys play -- 1 o'clock 4 o'clock is Jets Dolphins now. Let's play a little game here you guys win on Sunday it's for fifteen the locker room opens we all come charging in there. What can we possibly askew that would make any sense given that your entire season. Hinges on what happens between 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock.

I mean that's great that you guys have big bucks come up with a question not all but my point is your plate again I don't know that it did it you maybe there'd be some may happen again that. That would be -- were the other then. You know what what the outcome for -- days of the amateur.

That's thats my whole point I they should disclose the locker what you guys go home and -- on the players you would probably have a great time with but. To meet the real story is at 7 o'clock when you guys touchdown we fly in Providence the real story is when you guys went back in -- way. It's going to be a very weird day plus all going and make all the pats is that the root for the Jets which really makes it crazy.

I'm I think your response that you should have just stayed at home court. And had a big homecoming party or has gone on Sunday -- I don't know maybe other people you know the report released over a stretch that -- matchup.

right. How does out of Buffalo look on film.

Then got a minute incidents. Minister that tough resilient team I mean if the team that -- really without playoff contention and went out there at Denver was down ten often. Com. Is saying hang around -- fight just. In other got here round the fourth quarter it's. Division game. You know you can a look at. You know landed in Arizona. Maybe -- roach stated and playing late in the game I would score the way it was that I promise you hit the ball float. Event they're well coached and they're they're just once on the top. Physically and mentally so. It would restate that the that you look at how they got a great backs great young back who runs hard stuff to tackle. -- good good receivers good skilled players were and has been an Evans Parrish. And read -- their -- well so allfirst whether you know they look pretty good.

Mike is not a week that goes by that you don't hear news about internal squabbles of things going on with other teams that says -- here continue Romo actually Quinn can you speak for a minute about the philosophy that the Patriots have that what goes on in the Patriots stays with the Patriots. Mike how does that benefit that the team when you guys trying to keep control over everything -- on them.

I -- respected there's. You know a lot of teams which I do it their way -- I don't think -- Anybody outside our locker room or outside our our offices are stadium. Can really help put. When -- what I can do that other people that are in the work. For the time and and poker focusing on -- try to win and so if other people other outside. Parties. Limited in America -- the -- and helped out -- so there's really -- them to look pretty get a lot of information.

Like always he wasn't Perot junior and -- of -- back into. Into the routine.

Well. They've made certainly made it look easy I don't know how he is it actually was but. It's 22 guys that are really good professional both play the system understand. You know what were -- and and what we try to do each week in. That it probably is merely didn't think they're going to play this marcher at this part of parole this quick but. In those guys. Came may have credit couple days in the -- we took off for -- west coast and they've they've been able to. The American helped start and make placed.

on the back of the room now if you is that it is that a probably you rather be back over the other side -- today.

Are like it's not like him back there we. It is -- his -- young linebackers so the more guys month more direction we get. You know -- to back the better.

How good obviously guys aren't immune to radio and TV and newspapers and you know guys know the situation. -- only get those younger guys in particular took the focus on what you have to accomplish of 1 o'clock.

Well I don't think there I mean. There's little doubt that must focus I mean I think that the focus is just some Buffalo mean you can't really. The you wouldn't let me garden get a better athlete because they're just you know slap -- out there you proved to get hurt you can get embarrassed and you know every -- Every time he played -- velvet carpet and our coach sincere another player concede. So you know regardless of what your plans for you want their product out there to be in a representative of that yourself a goal and interviewed team.

As for the most most. The players though appreciate the fans -- but you're you do think like that you think oh my in the everyone rallies you see that are just triple my old feet missed that tackle so it's amazing you don't new you don't don't notice the 60000 people stands but. Here's an old man that that's going to make the circuit you know.

Yeah I gonna go to mark Bellman at a lot of -- this army air coaches included better. You know playing a practice that apparently offered jobs next -- out there it's. You know that you know something else initiated in some -- the personnel guys from other coach and no you whatever prodigious so good -- that you can't.

Mike with with a few minutes ago -- goes as this season as the year winds down. You look back on this year as a as a Boston sports had a promising -- a Celtics playoff games this spring. Sox won the World Series last year when the ALCS this year. You guys undefeated going in the Super Bowl last year Celtics when the -- championship but now the Bruins are on top in the NHL. Does that ever come up with the players or are you guys to so focused on the game in hand that that doesn't come up.

All -- during a week out we obviously. Arm and a leg Garrett reduction or should I mean we -- Celtics came so mean we all. No root for the Celtics are all Christmas justice them whereas a lot of people hysteria but. I -- world -- but I think that they're probably aware of what we play games or would want someone had a good game ever. And I watched the highlights just the same as we we do what we understand. But there's been successor around here in. And certainly try to stay. -- journalist with what the other aspect a doormat -- all. You know -- different situation. In the sports that we play but I think that we all share the same thing with family in. And -- in kids in the -- and you know different cities in travel and so I think there -- a lot of similarities that at all players share.

While gives them happy new year is news before you go as a freshman at Ohio State name it chants of -- It's going to be a big star the next couple years in Ohio State's going to roll I have inside information on that.

air it -- he's a freshman this year I think.

He did score a touchdown on a fumble earlier this season but big things of in store for him and sold the trust -- and I'd say this the next three years in the big Ohio State -- and.

Nine and leadership is a linebacker.

So. Somebody somebody keep an eye on I'm telling you this and this is inside information and helping out here. From the true linebacker you. It from someone who doesn't know the x.s and o's of football I mean obviously a big and in my UMass maybe she's got some inside information and national -- I have mr. rooting interest and stay.

They held it against Texas set and a weaker felt. I think media bits in -- that you'd never know look at. Greatly and I could -- as -- about the have a good weekend might not an. Awful -- On going about these two -- the us and some are TV show he knows the on what you -- you -- regard this report -- we get back.

I'm telling you that's what. Exotic color now our web media should not go to Buffalo they should meet you guys the plane Providence that with a story Kennedy I would like I -- last year to the Buffalo game and -- after the first quarter myself and Freddie went outside smoked cigars for him was old.

Getting your your Predators -- just.

I don't look at got a -- and -- because it's over 100. We give Beckett that would OT viewed that talked bottle and well the pitchers were role of the blah blah blah whatever was listener. I Mike got a good track Theo and Mike Vrabel and England Patriots and the eighteenth -- hotline.
