Oh well back on Monday protestors sleaze ball and making people on a street area aren't comfortable we don't want to call the least. But we will. And if -- doing great job we were talking. So well earlier with the Patriots. -- pick in the first round and make it more. If they deal. I'm happy with. What's happening -- Charles Robinson.

Rome or in the play. -- I don't.

I can't imagine like people like -- watched in which executives. Try to connect doorways and not talk deal there's not a lot to beat two B Adam last year your current it's overly sports -- spend your and.

Charles Robinson Yahoo! Sports joining us on the eighteenth -- hotline very frustrated not Charles you want people to talk to -- not -- It doesn't think like you're struggling already -- talk Adam Pacman -- you've already got two winners and losers. Day one of the NFL count by doing something right.

How well you know on trying to pretend like I'm getting a little opinion that it -- a pay check -- out. -- the -- myself and wishes then not just any alcohol and watching people walk by that would rather not topic but.

outs opposite charmingly joke about this but it seems like the NFL network is there today -- a lot of football media. I'll descend on Indianapolis this weekend in an early next week -- up physically get these guys say anything other than the company line -- their team.

Well I mean it that it is all that until the motivation -- you know under the truck. It's hard to believe RE here EL here and when he talked to attract prospects. We've either been over coached and they -- have their Hitler's. -- You know usually you get executives to just say something here very you know you can executives you speak maybe a little too much here. Your former Eric Mangini today popped up a little bit too much about Kurt Warner to a point where you know could be construed as tampering. But you know that governor happen. As often as he used to mean that it got more crowded it's been tough for guys to talk to be frank about things. -- certain things happen in a one that won the hockey ops ma contract came -- yesterday believe me every every. You know personal got a lot of talk about it because they were so that was. -- it's really you know kind of disrupted the salary structure they expect that this year.

Charles here in New England we just think it is a given. -- backed Cassel will bring back golf multiple draft picks one of them being a first one of them being a second or third. Nationally. Throughout the league what what do you get a sense when it comes to Matt Cassel how to people view him in what do you think that return will be if the Patriots elected straighter.

Well actually extremely -- outright stock into the executive but the -- yesterday I was asking them. Like it did the 49ers in the -- it -- Interest out there and not I. The Vikings probably beat writer and not be out -- out worked out. Some action that pretty. You know he'd sit eat. You don't yet their pitchers thereby. That it asking price has come out. -- Or they -- give up a draft pick -- would only be under it clearly Patriot -- it -- So you know I think a lot of it this will be settled in Italy eat some accurate quarterbacks -- Read eat a little dot com or. Collecting eighty you don't see it -- on the veteran guys to the plate. Take -- stab at your talent ever Kurt Warner. Then maybe now he'll come it will warp but you know not happen right tackle right now -- much. What you start this sweep it. More.

For the week teams especially do you think the castle market. -- would go higher if for example. -- teams decide in the next week to ten days. You know what. I staffers not that good. Sanchez's bat that good that hit the kid from Kansas State not that good either we really need a quarterback you think. He will be more in demand at some of these kids don't pan out.

I think it depends on what -- you're talking about -- today if you talk but the lightning. The Vikings don't think really -- that they don't I don't mean to cut the -- now to play -- and you know they're they're. From what I've heard they kept meeting kind of look at. He'd just from the cornerstone pieces that it. If we're gonna go get a -- that we need to get -- got stuck in laid out in the playoffs. You know try. If you're talking about a Detroit -- talking about. You don't get this thought the building process those teams. Is probably elongated. -- Detroit. So you know I I think the value. You don't value air -- that rookie. Is Detroit obviously option used to -- more option it just goes legitimate interest replaced on -- It'll be meek effort everything I hear about Patrick right now is that eat a lot JaMarcus Russell which markets -- out that. DE almost executive he expect that he didn't need a minimum of the year eating almost every says he should've gone back. Not you know this from the -- You know four to commodity you hear that step and Matt Bryant and he'll perform at a -- level but then again you know guys are about up at about Joe Flacco as well but. If you've got to let it. The ball more so there's no quarterback at this point in the draft. And I don't think the change workout people really truly believe -- come out and people start.

I imagine these young quarterbacks in the draft Mark Sanchez out of USC Charles is coach. It basically made a big stink about him golden told the media this guy should not go to the NFL draft he is not ready Sanchez Louisiana. And reading -- story at Yahoo! Sports dot com he's going to throw and take care take part in all those that NFL quarterback Angels the com line. How important is that for Sanchez so let's do that as a junior this weekend.

Well definitely portray them because they think he's the -- will meet your hearing. Anywhere between. You know some people like in the top seven guys and people top fifteen guy that probably where he -- ciskei. Well he can turn himself into outside I mean there's. Reality that he has speak move up whereas about effort he is based fault because it looks at the top to -- guy. So you know it's it's courtesy Josh Freeman can keep state unbelievable. Tools to work with great arm great guy he can come and grow good. He can move out effort not stroke here today. I think people expected that the car and you are always disappointment at the which has. Made exactly the right -- come out here I shall the best you know what. I'm not going to wait a pro day to do here I brought my pro day as well. You know expose myself to possible these guys and every executive I talk to you they want you and it hit he's going to work out every stroke you know great we get to the great he's not going to back we've challenged and that's what you want to see we eat when you gotta I took up like that gives guys a little bit more work west. And you know Jim Schwartz -- these people why -- number one pick. You know he showed his -- got a pay I'm not afraid to do any -- regardless what age child.

Charles every year there's a phenomenal athlete in the draft -- it goes somewhere in the top five or top ten and whether that's Reggie pusher Darren McFadden. Or whether it's you know going back in the day. Like Deion Sanders Champ Bailey who was it this year is that a running back is their corner. Whoever wants as a man can't take him first but he might be the best athlete in mr.

I think notion on Moreno is the guy who obviously know the -- but at least comment here with which not a -- You know that how can evaluate Alec I if any between the you know we're in the 288080. Load the twenties and I think you remind a little Ronnie Brown. Where you know -- brown came into the draft process that year. Really it was a guy who's probably middle first round sort panel that went out there and it can't sleep liquor but he way actually catch the ball. I think some kind of lead you -- shot. You know he actually speed that you can't I think he does have athletic ability that a lot of people probably get the league works now. Probably got double to. An advocate to. That you know there's there's. -- offered to wind and obviously in the draft and wants the look at. That the hit Eugene roe. -- I got school now. Virginia and Virginia added another guy that you know I think that the people look at the -- operatives -- everybody talk in my arteries that kid from Alabama. I think negro could surprise a lot of people -- are more athletic and out. Maybe I want that Robert Gallery pic com I where he actually just blows Everett but he let it and be. First act out or at -- there.

Well here and -- on the Patriots landed on a great linebacker last year Jerod Mayo. You guys -- US the Brian Cushing or an inside guy -- Uga plays and outside. How do you separate those two -- fans start look at this draft board. Charles how what are what makes those guys different ball talented as Pete Carroll's defensive linebackers what makes them different -- O'Malley Uga.

Well I think -- separate it is it's going to have to be -- now appear ability what you can do. In the system that a team like the Patriots won every everybody talks while three floors. Or threes you know let it. If if you're going to be a linebacker and in the Patriots system particularly get it to be hot outside you're gonna have to deal and the line of scrimmage. Have to deal played over and you're gonna you're basically -- that. The lead to be moved around I think all those guys. There's one thing that struck this draft is really strong get. Linebackers slash decent today. I brick kinda -- to be moved around quite a bit heated at running those real flexible street sport where he looks like the Patriots. -- and helped -- that is because it's so strong particularly in the first round I'm real character and why in the two to three. Remains -- but you know USC yeah I mean it that the collapse coming out for you aren't backers very very strong in both those guys you mention. I think -- it perfect pitcher.

Charles you you mentioned. Eric Mangini earlier in the interview and it reminds me that we got some guys here with New England connections that you see out there at the count by Eric Mangini. Mangini leaving the browns' Josh mcdaniels leaving the Broncos. Scott pioli leading the Kansas City Chiefs out of those three guys I mentioned. Who is going to have the most successful. First year run with their team.

You know I I think I think Scott has a lot to work with -- just beat. People forgot about a little bit I mean they brought invoke park aren't very underrated. I guess you noted that. Part of the reason they brought in Oak Park on because they're trying to repair the relationship break out. The old British -- And you know what he'd get -- last year -- elite you know. I -- I all Scott. You know I want to make sure that are coming to work with where it much got it offensively. You know -- whoopee do the quarterback spot. And any league yet they really like Cutler -- he can make that wrote this offseason. I think it could be a lot better you know next year now. It'll completely has really honestly a long way to go. As they have at the last couple years I don't think urged an assault that one -- that we kept their quarterback situation. You know hashed out I'll beat you could court there are actually down -- you do don't got Brady Quinn or -- Anderson didn't palace at right now. Denver obviously Denver's great. Movies that reached for and I think they expect that can. You don't -- a lot repeat the problem and how well this is Tim Crowder. Keep an event like this horrible last -- or three Jarvis Moss and other sports and really did not do well nexis that it'll be eligible to be -- at linebacker. Public thing. I don't think any skeptical -- I really liked it this city I like Todd Haley. I -- I like a lot of the pieces that they have they just eat discipline and the meet somebody who can bring a strong trap and reaching class. I trust Scott appealed to do that because -- at the track.

You know what I do as -- is -- and interrupted by means he just played my employment as he gave me a little signal like I got the next question and I jumped them. Let yourself there's something you said about Kansas City. That stands out this is unbelievable. Under Herm Edwards last year talk about discipline. They were fine. Eighteen -- Only eighteen -- all year now that sounds like a lot of fans but. In New England. You know you might have eighteen finds that among. And four game you know wake caucus in late to meetings and so right there it was a little bit. To lose this ship. They -- Kansas City and Todd Haley as you know is not afraid to confront players. And and -- things that they don't want me here.

8 I think Scott to people you've got out front office in place and coach placed. Which they can't -- ticket get what they want player they want. Aren't we did you know they don't feel taking it to try to teach art and I don't think lidge got smoked either on opening -- I. It'll they brought in -- undertaken steps to. That they're gonna get this fixed but I'm absolutely and and it goes beyond just I'd go to practices. You know just the structure practice ice any ground you don't have the sense of urgency to practice you can really trial. I love -- he's a reporter's journey great I talked actually at. Compositional coach of the -- I think you've peaked at coordinator. If you ever want to pick it cabinet but. You you walk into his practices and all for period years you've beat -- you -- he wasted time wasted motion. -- become advocates Patriot that you can get it done now. Getting it done you know it's perfectly precise as possible you can beat. Great respect great come and I ever heard about during -- Patriots. Which went data Graham laughed and an end up with that the Denver Broncos talked about. Going through -- free agent this other team if you thought I never realized how great we weren't. I saw the other way you know the way he did it but as a remarkable state for -- to make after he.

Charles last one for me it's a sure sign the NFL offseason is under way because big name players again and cut. Across the league whether it's Chris McAlister. On Deuce McAllister Fred Taylor. Out of chapter NFL network came out a couple of nights ago Owens said Marvin Harrison. Would be the next ago legendary Hall of Fame wide out Indianapolis. And the ownership sort of skated around is -- Al -- that Marvin Harrison. Is cut here next couple days by the Colts.

Well good ownership -- around Jim Caldwell that that new coach at the Indianapolis Colts obviously we talked them yesterday about it. -- surrounded that -- try to you know get the numbers. And it dealt community based feel like they still get -- a pay cut basically to a two down to about two million -- more than two million. Which which is where they want and I'll make it happen -- to keep -- I only -- three up. About seven million dollar cap speaks for that and they it'll likely they'd need for. Thought last year. Defensively -- injuries occur along -- to wind injuries occur you eat better gap be stepped into those -- that ESP actually want you Marvin. Peyton is a driving force behind them. I tell you that that Pete is in the year ownership and hey I really would like to have them out they'll -- can be very very good -- second option to Reggie weighing. With the help eat eat under but I just don't think Margaret get it you know look at the market now they. You know its its management can look at this market picked there's no other team out there will get more than two hours I don't you think it. That chapters crack people.

Charles we always appreciate the time to. Do. W 1. Charles. Dallara. Dollar we're. We're this -- football. -- and it was commissioner. And it. Commissioner what. That -- little shady got a -- those shady. About it straight. So I I've made a lot of roster moves and so it came down to one dollar that's what I oh commissioner. And he apparently got -- about -- that one dollar. I'll tell a high level fantasy football league history here yeah one dollar. I'm guessing you do -- are -- on Arnold's I was far far far far away sounds about right yeah that's.

I do want to mention that that Michael promise you comedy -- and you'll get. -- get Q did you first went really get it fixed and we.

Yeah a lot it was a -- to -- Welcome back next year -- a -- come back strong. And I -- enjoy Indianapolis not determined what a great job. Okay -- just Charles Robinson it's like -- on Yahoo! sport.
