Chris Price, WEEI.com

Chris pricey you can read his stuff on W -- dot com is what it is like you covers the pitchers extensively does great job without a Chris it's. John Ryder know and make real.

Hey guys you deal it -- you. Not bad not bad it was preceded -- Foxboro. Alone the don't know you well crazy that mark's real daddy couldn't we gotta talk brought dictated it -- eagle on in the world --

There -- not not this week there's been nothing going on whatsoever. David Ortiz is certainly Daisuke Matsuzaka the Red Sox have a great relationship -- betrayed by you what are right is connector cool when you live Chris I you know I envy that. --

I tell you it was that studied it as -- because it just posted historian WER dot com the most talked about guys down there. What apparently nowhere near Foxboro Michael. It would. It was a creepy creepy days do we spend basically chasing around all these rumors oldest Internet speculation. You don't expect all people -- Photoshop -- pictures of or Adobe unconfirmed creepy stories about him leaving -- in the just in. And it seems immodest stuff. Which is -- proper port of Miami Herald that it before working out the patriot well so -- so it's -- to Clusty CJ in the people who spoke up except that it looked. But it wasn't there today. -- after the patriots in quite frankly it should say this but but most people -- status. He's not going to be your --

By Chris are you had to do was call Shaughnessy in his suite up there in the hotel. It actually takes -- picture the other -- look -- go through all that travel you know.

Architecture it has in different YouTube you look at the picture you can visit if you are familiar with what's out. Of that number are there other -- planes so that if you're observing governor elect George especially looking toward bed bath and.

I back. Right. That's true. -- But does so outside of the Vick got fiasco. What is there anything eye popping up is a it's newsworthy I mean everything in its early Friday night out tonight. --

Really look at -- I bet that in the big and other indicative that Brady and it's basically been foreign 5000 people into showed up. All the media ought to focus pretty much all the attention of the players who are there. Has been on Brady and the left -- you know bring you good news because at this point after four practices. Day's work. Pretty at least. He does look like there's anything -- victory if he will be. Apparently would not change our political about it today we saw him do a series rolls over the last two days we all do a little bit this spring as well. We saw a series of oracle high intensity -- but but fairly tight it's people table the -- concessions. He was doing -- sidestep props to roll out. He was participating every one of the drilled to every one of the other quarterbacks was doing out there he didn't appear to be limited it is range of motion at all. -- it's only two days paid for practices and it's threat because a lot of football left between bill in September 14. But it is -- eight people have to look pretty optimistic afterward --

Great news for patriots fans obviously there and what about the exhibition games coming out saying that he's gonna planes on. Any idea how many year -- outlined its from -- too early now let's Belichick say about I mean he says he spoke about that and I'll --

You'd -- you -- outspoken about date yet but I wouldn't be surprised if he's setting it up to be a little quick check out you keep that the past from the which would have we're reading about that. Beat up some for the public to keep in -- in the game the entire village -- I wouldn't be surprised. If you saw him. Just a little bit not a whole lot DP you know ten or fifteen steps not -- season -- of building up to a week three with the starters play you know. Most of the first I wouldn't be surprised if he can but it ought to say it. It could real quick look at what they have been capital -- was at number two I think that's important. The context this kind of receipt of bring that up. -- get a real -- cult because it's people like where they are O'Connell there a couple of backup quarterbacks out there in the market got a bright receipt. It would think about going after.

Chris when you say ten to fifteen snaps humane in one particular game or maybe for the hope pre season exhibition season.

One particular game but I don't think I would I think obviously he wants to -- out there arguments are very lot of the other players which is possible -- They wanna protect and they want it it is because that's where he is really it comes out it need to keep displays don't know the local radio you know two years ago. I think they're gonna be he would that be I guess that's where it is eating his rehabilitation process but let's face it frankly we're not -- know -- years until September. Working the so called Drupal are absolutely. Go away here would be gated area.

It's always been and again it's a little different when he's facing pass stretchers and everything else involved in football game and now rolling around practice a little bit but debt. But the mobility has the good news throwing arm looks fine as well obviously.

Actually it was everything he took political about it -- of the fastest guy in the world but it does appear to be aware of it doesn't appear to be inch. I mean he's doing everything if he's being asked to do it he looks like he's doing it without problems. Really this week was the first we would -- look at the -- rates back in the spring spring practice UT's breakfast. We just look at -- when he was wearing blue sweat it's sort of we duplicate set to decide the race it's pretty sizable. Black rate that is where it got a lefty but he did it look okay you make of the -- he's doing everything he should be you'll at this stage entry.

Chris Taylor Maroney morality tale how do you think again it's it's so early but I mean what what just -- around and you you've got a good six cents throw stuff. How do you think well I didn't Belichick wants it to play out maybe that's a better question.

I think at this point rural be it Jordan number one running back. That -- you're not gonna see him get more than 300 series year they're gonna go we have the running back by committee Garrett fox probably look at what indexed. In much the same way that the Red Sox look at starting pitching you know you -- what. They're good at -- match you couldn't see. Taylor let let let's get mr. Taylor stepped up their years he's not the running back it used to be. He's still going to be put in situations. Backers think he's gonna be a guy. He executable 25 to thirty deputy -- under fifty yards to read about. I think if you used situationally -- properly I think there's still a lot left to -- but will issue number one guy. It probably -- AB ports is more for traditional between the tackles and -- to -- him. They -- or short yardage situation. It is of course you have Kevin Faulk and BenJarvus you know it's all being more or don't have a change. It BenJarvus. On the French Open I think a lot of the a lot of his future at the company didn't -- that keep the people that are extra tight epic beat. That -- interpret double wrote. But will -- at this point I'm thinking royalty for the use of award. In the Fred Taylor is going to be -- additional got more and number two.

And how about two the other part of the -- Chris I know Randy Moss has missed couple practices but there's no big deal about that right images is to get some rest and and and what about Joey Galloway and his you.

Quick how it -- David -- is up there and he's 37 -- right right now he is still a world class Berger has got to read speed. If they're used an awful lot at least the first few days maybe it was a little -- this break. You're using an awful lot special teams he's he's he's worked a lot -- a -- the first couple. The first couple days anyway in I can see -- situation developing where they -- they have basically a hospital workers by a lot of a -- all. A lot of Wes Welker Italy Joey Galloway deposition I don't want to number -- wide receiver Wes Welker -- in their returner. But it Galloway still without The Beatles it.

Job at that that's you know while that's good news that so it's somewhat surprising to me be considering his age. There Chris of course I guess they do need that now with -- Ellis Hobbs got run.

It is yet and that -- be interesting you bring a real good point shut -- Look at the special teams overall there are changes on this special needs you to. Most notably avenue computers got a broad -- most of a couple of -- working -- along the upper. Trying to replace what he acted. That the punt returns the kick return spot looked up appears that a lot of changes other special teams unit. Your real interest in tested the BC does he get those steps. In in in the return you specifically.

Chris is it possible -- the Galloway and that Welker and moss in this on the feel the same time.

Yes I really think right now obviously bosses should know what wide receiver you have Welker in the slot in the battle wanted to really interest position -- I believe at this point. It's that number three spot between Greg Lewis gavel because -- all get. We're just due to spring practices in today's preacher she is retreating yeah. But it it Galilee a slight edge over Lewis at that spot -- is that -- very with it so far. It's worth it to the topic of conversation he can also work -- did for Philadelphia but I -- out -- is still. A step ahead of Lewis in the reached that number three spot I don't see them. Keeping O Galloway looked at this point. I think it'd be awful tough to keep the vote of their. I think honestly that it like it's -- Galilee at number three. It. Speak if you can replicate the job. That the previous numbers wide receivers don't hear the last couple years to spark -- for all is that dropped open up pretty good numbers at the same thing without these forward. I think. Get is -- typical -- so clear to their particular especially -- If you lose Joey Galloway properly that number three receiver spot you could come -- were you -- catch his best possible there.

And the other side of the ball Chris a lot of their. Concerns I guess as far as a linebacker and and I guess if you could talk about what's going on at linebacker position also. As far as the secondary goes.

It linebacker right now it's still kind of shaking itself I did just outlook -- at a couple really good. D.'s practice for my money the first few days she's been the most impressive. That -- really worked hard. Really -- a lot of really impressive stuff if peace peace I'll be. I think there's going to be -- very -- for. The real question is in the side of course yep Jerod Mayo. Who was looking to do about it really sensational rookie year attempt to be interesting to see how much -- very in Paris but it's -- the other guys. Pushed keepers for playing have a strategic it is it is -- Deepest starter but I think most that -- the legal status with steps. That inside linebacker position with guys like Gary Guyton. And Ers went through the other question for -- is gonna the other other outside linebacker -- out the details of right up your witnessed the number one guy just starting receivers are -- to use it with Shawn Crable Kiki the other side I think it would have been the guy. You would have seen air you know it it is -- there's still district around -- out there. -- If there's still stick around disgruntled linebacker. Local linebacker Derrick Burgess that would lead to -- possibility open offering Oakland's asking an awful lot orbit -- But I still think Beckett -- ultimate sort perceived lack of very intriguing prospect. Six reputable raiders was -- before training here. He had hit into work it not if you were being possibility that other outside linebackers but. Is a bit of a question mark right now but at this point you're with you know what --

What's the matter with -- Shawn Springs.

there's stuff that we -- I didn't. Do practiced today he looked good for for public right now. If you'll if you after all the gonna -- an uptick in the first two quarterbacks -- shall break. That being said Will Wright as and a couple really good basic training camp she might be pushing that might be right now he's probably the favorite. To be typical order in it it opposed the step packages all but also by the way the sport for help. -- don't -- have a pretty good though. Pretty good cup with a -- But we pass breakup of a long distance connection. Reidy was trying to a couple of more it was a big media are reporting your plea after -- would strike for strike with the in not the all the way at the last minute just a sensational play at the -- can get -- I have bought over the course -- that pick -- Yesterday afternoon to be pretty --

I had a button over Brady any Dallas faces them retirement you know great plays him secondary but down. -- so if Brady looks fine with you right and this is a daily thing I -- the first time he takes -- miss that part of it is going to be a -- is going to be panic in the streets we know that whether that happens tomorrow on September 14 in the week after. I mean every every step he takes is going to be scrutinized obviously by. You know write it no one knows obviously and -- knew what was gonna happen you know last year so. This you know this guy had a seven minutes season and a nice not a kid anymore unlike you -- today not the quickest money on the field either so. But beyond what's good and obviously he's gonna you know he's never gonna say he's not ready anyway so and and Chris the brace it's -- said it is restricting his movement at all.

Well though he says it is restricting over but it's -- bring this -- kind of optimistic about this but. Gilead would bring this this yet abide by state. We don't know what's going to happen until September 14 like don't -- looks good he looks good after spring practice says. After the first few days of training camp. -- looks good -- worry goes from there have been hit just point there's reason for optimistic he keeps tripping up -- in the same -- he's done. Whispering in its first few days of training you know things are gonna be good but there's a lot of football with no end in mid September 14 that's the.

Yeah right lady yield know a lot more. When he takes his first couple hits obviously.

Exactly it'll all different ballgame between training camp. Preceded him regularly because it would just be bought those got one other -- about what you know they're they're they're not dead but of football team. What they it is a very good pass rush connecting -- way out of the gate. That's going to be a real task force model which offered what but how he reacts in the pocket with the remote extradite.

And last question for me Chris is is back to Michael Vick again. Do you think he lands would any NFL team -- do you think there's real speculation there at five pride I know that I've heard some teams like Pittsburgh for instance. It is there interest in him out -- do you think you will play in the NFL this here.

The real question is if you wanna go in be essentially a back -- or Walt third NFL. Or she wants to go big big money anyway it was report out there today it's that you felt was -- offer Laporte 22 billion dollars that he could go to -- Philip essentially cheap bogey. The marquee players that we -- he could tell that to another level. I think that's what he has to do however he goes to the NFL I think the biggest stage is you have to go to chart. It has a real solid infrastructure and not -- because -- we although it's going to be huge circuit. And so what -- that the secrets aren't there needs to have that positive infrastructure locker that can support a character like that. They think the -- to one of the team to beat the beat you'd -- to bring up another excellent point did you. Protecting expert at the similar infrastructure or locker room where they could support helping pick I'd like that on the team. Where he would -- equal to be a distraction of some level but I it did that change would be able to about if you put it on another key. Well but I'm just gonna -- in -- their pitching is that all it would book for reading off the rails in the popular opera infrastructure. Like. The patriots in the Steelers it was the judge well in the that's where if you want to each -- specialty. That's the treaty -- to go to that's the most important thing.

The Chris he's got some bills to pay as we know right how much -- Right -- have an NFL team tamper you know a short season as opposed to the money in the new lead with primary guarantee then would be you know. --

I believe is as Riley it's -- but I also believe I wanted to throw this in here as far as that goes that was going to be question mine as well but. That I believe some of his lawyers or maybe even pause for the Jetsons. For for him to take that money in another league so we can pay out some of his -- is Eric.

At least that yeah that's an excellent point that we eat and not how the choice he needs now need to dictate. Eating it is dictating. -- kind of a date this incredible ATP should also that kind of immediate it is it's it would yet. In the end it felt he could get -- potential cash infusion secrecy from setting a contract with -- Which yup -- routinely would not get that kind of attract people will be from AB in SL.

Yet you know Chris taking and ethnic -- September 14. And only Tom Brady could make I TO versus Randy Moss this site story you know I'm in. The stories and and the drama that deny it and the the ovation the first time he steps on the field -- while I mean it's. It's going to be great theatre and you know Monday it's -- Monday night game right.

It is needed to educate -- England to get right back game sort of significant order army uniforms. It's going to be fantastic yeah you know you -- a few guys ought to put this up about. It is what it is thought it'd be yours are restart about an off I would not immediately -- England -- so it's -- be on it really it -- be but it got like you upload it it's great theatre read the key overseas -- what's gonna happen that all. That that opening its its its its great department.

All right great stuff Chris we appreciate you joining us will continue to check out stuff -- the is what it is blog and all patriots stuff on W. The excellent thanks Chris writes from WEEI dike now and covers.
