It is -- routine from whatever seventy's at last time music was good. Now it's gonna it's out of communities and government in the ocean -- Carla. I think it -- after 845. It's it's art that's all -- probably notes on parent might like YouTube he met the Utah parents say hello first of -- Joe Hagerty and then two lovely Lindsay from Canada -- female Tom. 00 what's up Tony. And Lindsey's almost at that appoint Tom worry it shouldn't be legal she's so cute. On talk. Now -- zones -- acute self tonight. Very nice -- halftime thing going on what is is there going to be of the year the tight end for the pats.
All baby what you know it's it's a lottery type thing if it's one day it's going to be Chris Baker and next week it'll be eight -- has suddenly been -- We get Alex spare the resigning -- wave and it will do it -- everybody gets a week this year.
Is Ben Watson in danger of Buena potentially cut just given the money that is -- and everything -- up.
And this may not -- the reason being tight and almost complex positions in the NFL. And while all of those guys affiliate those developed mrs. interest now I do think you wanna have some institutional knowledge that position. And Benoit to -- that but between. And about the tool but it is the money that he's carrying that could be in the casualties later.
Plus you know I -- it. It until you have to make a decision like that you wanna make sure you preserve depths -- system right.
Exactly I mean if if if everything is equal in terms of what they're bringing to the game between say Alex Smith Ben Watson. And Chris Baker you're probably gonna go with the guy who is shown the most. In terms -- You've got to go with the guy who's got it established level global warming that you can count on.
Right and I guess of our Ben Watson I asked the question because I'm him and I look at them bringing in Alice Alex Smith and Chris Baker. I almost think the writing is on the while little bit then hey look at all the tight ends they're bringing in this is you know -- to gonna be smooth sailing for me anymore.
Well I don't think it's ever really been boost sales -- appointed between -- hope we haven't -- all people and they're bringing people in on the weather Chad Brown linebacker. There aren't -- bringing in veteran. Chris Baker and Alex Smith about the second summit on the Gonzales San Antonio Gates. Their competition and pressure and and to work out hopefully estate Thomas can a couple for about 21 yards of it's interesting but I think the bigger story tonight it is has to be what the quarterback -- which is stunning performance.
Yeah oh yeah I was just beautiful it's what you wanted to hoped or expected him to beat -- prayed for. Oh sure candles lit everywhere he albeit. At a base is in a bubble bath.
Watson's second half we can't. Little alone time in the Sheppard house tonight and it's definitely not what you do you surprise at all he played as much as you that you kind of expected just given the fact you know in Plano last year who's gonna get --
It'll -- habitat artists appreciate and so far the amount of time that they've been at fault that fact that he has missed practice and as. Desperately wanted to play. And as much as the patriots wanted to play well in this species and as opposed to last year it all added up. To -- making sense we played it on it and dished to that it drives -- long. Which is basically the same thing I mean this looks like 2007. Just picked up. From bill 2009 about -- can happen but I think you'll -- a quick 567 plagiarized. Pickle right down the -- it didn't surprise me because he didn't have a way.
On a serious note town. Is BenJarvus green hills gonna drop -- couple whose names this year that.
Yeah he's actually. Doing Internet vote you connect you to pick any of the four.
It's not just another screen sounds like -- kind of a cliche Dan Ellis sounds nice I like Jarvis Green at the Jarvis Green needs -- come back in the patriots. -- it -- well and yeah we've Jarvis -- at it and it for names is just too many for any anyone Mandan.
You've got a no electricity hit so hard this year the reality is all right up.
It's like ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey circus is there would be a weighty in the name department there I don't want to put. We can't -- it -- as a serious thoughts I have three seasons --
Look at all about you clearly. Isn't the best example -- Both sides of the baseball one when you get those that's the best quarterback in NFL history getting dust it off now with -- on the field that you are on BenJarvus green Ellis.
I think that this one takes a lot of different dozens cause its missile launch reviews and it's been so long you wanna see it all machine. That was such a machine in 2007 operate to the same level -- finish reading -- team that was in the NFC championship last year finished shredding a team. That try to take it seriously it. And put it afloat a pretty good effort no they don't have Bryant Westbrook went around back there that don't have their -- offensive line but.
They're -- they got something to prove cause they're pissed and start even right now approve. Here's here's another serious question for its army give me give me a critique of Tom Brady's abilities as a thespian and entourage last week.
He's no Peyton Manning -- play that right now. He's good but he's.
So better than all right -- a little bit I'd like to play lesbian in in entourage. And I think I am part lesbian. I think you are hey Tom it's John Ryder. Are they Tom -- what do you think about the -- was the -- Michael Vick he's just signed with the Eagles.
You notice and that is what default slalom on that lasts we look like hey yeah I knew we know way to go.
You know what I didn't either Tommy has got a shot with -- with a new clock regatta -- break recent that's all I know.
watch it -- Michael vick's signing I think it's fascinating. Really a multiple one year deal in Philly and you have to wonder because. Not -- bad didn't get an extension but he is Gatorade. As the yield gonna try and make. Michael Vick quarterback of their future that meant that -- club. I editing Eagles -- stormy two days ago that isn't but he was not going as well clearly that -- up.
It's obvious you talked a little bit about just it almost looks like tonight you know last year was kind of skipped over and look like a couple of years ago I mean -- Your expectations for this year did you think that they're gonna not miss a beat and be that good as they were -- seven again this here.
Just -- watch them spring in the spring training. This summer in training camp. But -- that they -- in training camp and the smoothness with which. There operating. In training camp really led to believe that there are going to be able to go up there and can do some damage -- was also the pretty encouraging I think secure patriots the end. Is depression and they've been able to bring -- eggs candy can't put too much stock -- that because Eagles are playing virtually the -- in the of their offensive line starters. That they anticipate having. But the extension be better than it was last year. Especially in the backside I mean it really didn't appellate kind of -- and mostly got European network in the pros are there we haven't seen anybody run free and make.
Pat no you should mention that right off the top I'm sure it is evident that. Story Sami current always a pleasure and we will look at Florida talk and you with -- games mean more but it's just couldn't or -- out -- keep -- and the situation port forward to squirm around. -- It's not. Take this time he carries funny I love him he's got.
