Bill a lot of talk on this in the newspapers and in sports talk radio and amongst fans. Do you have any concern that you won't be a member of this patriot team come next Monday.

Well we'll go confirmed the -- would be. -- maybe there's that was some uncertainty. There's there's something you know you gotta go through the years. Every -- to try to you know make the squad not to Beardsley. And it also used to be just he just they get every years in -- here in some investors to make this football team and has some years I get some more sort of been out.

I'll tell tell you what it is there any more uncertainty this year than the -- are sort of on the same.

Well well of mud that was that was a little bit more. Com you know because moving your feet just effective you know I'm a bit of the player summit receiving game. You know some good -- very. You know you just you never know in -- what what direction -- he Madonna though. But. So the -- from a certainty but it debate. I think they're saying were captured. -- that a billion. Realized that. You know that are required for whatever reduce the use and -- and automate those those --

Well -- how do you -- year old no personal pre season.

Entering. Definitely. You know last night was well filed the first come out -- literally played. Fools people bought since last year and investment -- of a moderate between. Two weeks ago in Washington or you know we have a few risk somewhere matters that restarted fifth. I don't they're referred to play together with that I get back in the group but -- the -- were disappointed you know. The -- we have not been able to be out there aired and practice. And if those script -- addressed figured those individuals grew risk for a period of about three weeks in a three Q because it. You know release into readers' inquiries -- you know month.

They do feel a little strange to Alter it to be on the field than those in the waning moments in the fourth quarter of the fourth and final pre season game when when typically. -- human humans and on the sidelines of the held off long -- at that point in time.

Yeah yeah it definitely. Honestly target does this say it -- A different experience. Maybe you'll probably experience. There's something. No matter what happens. For a smart career supplement that you know unity remember. -- the stated reload that. For me as a player. Oh that's sweet beautiful need to get out there and play because not have a have been able to play in any of a -- receiving so. You know -- situation. He called on the on this team come inaudible new music player to get out there and play. Just you know -- back into.

Then when you hear that we hear constantly on this radio station and watch in his hands are poor. He succeeds. He's. A -- that we think will emerge but maybe not so much last year twenty catches fourteen games. Couple years ago -- 49 -- it look like you're really movement up. When you hear that stuff is that he'd be huge motivating factor for you.

You know the bailout would be well well what your best stuff problem. As a player what -- as a person. And whatever you do. You know you you you don't like for people to the bearer of what you do. You know what -- the you know what you're doing on the radio whether you're -- Euro lower open to whatever. You know what will you where you thought there'd -- you'd. You know you put a lot of work into a lot of time into it. It unsettling to have you book comment and negatively comment on what you do. So. If it is the Internet there's is it it did bother me well you know welcome to a place where. It's not bother me as much aware. A -- about Rick a lot of north.

Where a word used to bother you a lot more and I wouldn't read certain spoke you know now. BR would be not really cared much about about what also asserted and it and I'm still appliances you know obviously prefer Democrats figured better -- editing and MR route running at all boasting that anybody would do an oppressive. -- the negative comments are really. You know affecting their -- and also on the Obama spoke to look back. The years up play in the -- of about Mary Hermann must you know. Made plays in this week. I've made that plated and we hear about they do prudently but I've been in this league and and -- important.

Of of all the things that that you have worked on and continue to work on. It is there one aspect that you -- focusing on more than others.

No it's -- the -- of her birders there's he the president aware boulevard the preparing their air. And lately it's -- special paint -- never -- put a lot of special things. And you know -- been a very it you know spoke of being good at something very new for me. So that took some getting used to. At and also you know there's been a matter of rehab it. Trying to get back out there's less credible -- armored. Focus lately. You know defeated go to our man Adam you know cochlear implant -- spoke. Every week bill be different things that I have that you know focused on her you know he's gave way and it's different than in the week. -- required. Of this you could be a more prominent.

But how do you think the overall camp went for the for the team.

I made her the -- belt out there if you're pretty good -- and uphold. -- good luck and appreciate period from the drop it from the is that you know could be better book. It not been a big emphasis for us this year was going dark.

Very well have a preview that's not a fanatical Belichick really wanted to. -- the -- world but it looked pretty you know you know rescue rebuke wherever orbit receive event there's spoken simple. What the -- would appreciate because they're carried over there. He he he -- right about that. You know even though the preview -- local -- was very anytime you go out there. Apple's form is that it valuations. And if people former -- bit as good if you're not in that spirit and you can expect to do is go out there on. On you know my deny it I'm an out and just turn it on -- when you have had a -- repeat itself. In that respect that they'd better. The tainted definitely. You know it a bit at least as far as in a former world refuse to call the goal reverted to carry though.

Like it or not there are going to be a lot of comparisons. With Tom back to this offense to the offense the prolific offense almost seven. Can you compare that to how close is this offense potentially to the one that we saw back in 07.

You know that we can compare -- to -- the problem will be in January or February you know and of the season and been found a tribute to army right now it's all speculation. And you don't take -- through bill speculate. That before yeah I'm bitter political manipulator ago. It'll be good at no point did I mean. Even -- different year at a different. And -- not -- the year ago recent article back in karma you know compared number there compared. Oh -- our opponent's record through it although although I do fun stuff.

Which -- then on the back -- quarterback situation -- played well last night Andrew Walter police reportedly was disgruntled he did not play. How do you think that's gonna shake down.

You know audio. Not visited the one thing is you don't play it and announced football league of there's also supplies around -- always so big so that the so. This summer prior is that they have enough apart so I'm not do as I have -- it could be create could be a combination of things. You know the coaches the front office -- armored that the food and they're gonna have a lot of -- couldn't be making. You know that this coming year dollars you know powerful player but also. A -- you know I think -- for them to because they. They have to maybe it's suited him and and take personal purpose -- it does make decisions that are best for the thing.

And you via rookies jump out to share.

it definitely number Lotto we have a lot of you saw a lot of rookies you know part of last night. You know the receiver position -- opposite effect this it was would be you know is with a directory there. I've been a lot of the review. That about it and so a lot a little progress. It faster and can't win all. And you know -- made -- you know hopefully the make it somewhere but. He -- hardest part of you voted to -- college become too. Associating like the -- with it looked omitted them with better players and at clipped up high expectation. Our audio performance they're. You know definitive and apparently there are being that they're currently it's Obama.

Tom Conger. Confessed I knew who -- bootleg to a Muslim -- army he's. The receiver you have to mr. BR I mean I'm sure you're asking me probably. You know who took some time to kind of get back into after being off but if -- you -- our -- Katie he's he's such not talented. You know quarterback -- you know not specifically about -- Soviet and he's a great elitist so. Remember before -- to see -- hopefully play. You know of that the look the whole -- about injury. What you know you know you -- and until.

I'm not on Tuesday this coming Tuesday you'll be part of a football wanna long it's an educational. But it geared towards females or interest in broadening their knowledge of the game of football.

Further -- are also but you know up but it very well what would become of our debated the full bar by the so -- out there lower but there's some of our biggest fan. And well -- people a little football basically don't scoring. Rules and regulations. And we'll also be listened to help from my teammates. You know metal iron. It's later -- here where. Jarvis Green. They're -- for a special -- We're gonna about the warm about development because specialty have been allowed both got to come talk about what they do on the field. How to prepare for. Gave where. What Kabul Barbara the week and also hopefully we're trying to do some some actual gave put it some very imperiled. To -- won't be instructions so -- very very powerful in the convent and you ask questions they'll learn. More about the game if you are suspect and not the we've been let out the link become too. They're not actually going to be in there with the women during the seminar boat war you know on. A separate media Paramount which speed more -- bureau.

Anderson I don't know attention. Immediately try to say that Steve made possibly could use a little. A little education no we want immutable though they ask me to moderate Muslim experts.

There there's there's a room full dudes like get to sit in the room with them TP -- away from the women you're like that yeah. You know who were let go complete yet what is that. That is. So it goes pressed up against the window with one. -- opportunity for me though. -- not on board dot org.

but I know you and your wife who have done a ton of charity working in this country and an outside this country as well you should be learned for that. But I guess what Tedy Bruschi who you said this is a part of it. Your thoughts on on his retirement and he's still getting used to not seeing him around that locker room and on the field on a regular basis the last few days.

Yeah is that become aware of the very hierro. That you -- aren't enough there's the -- there spirit and mound you know everybody kind of there spate. We're world experience you know and allied air Aaron you know we've become a -- there that's very clear you know and who's been Obama. So that's -- we're not knowing we're a bit because regard you more than me on offense but -- You know the other the other great career and you know spared in the ridiculous would be. Happy -- satisfied that he gave Obama feel event. And -- for thirteen years to play this game especially in warm places that is that -- testament to him and we have a himself from the professional but for me. My sense with what sort of Bruschi is. In -- microscope the year that didn't move involved about world current new low on offense but the last year the had a chance to really. You know kind of talk to him and what most impressed me about him. -- the way he hair though -- professional athlete being great on the field being greater waited. But when he goes home in the bother either of them to -- And it's apparently its first. We're being told it was never to bring work home. And you know that's something that -- wired to his family is just -- had is that they do you experiment that. You know electability he taught me. In -- out you know what I -- a lot of our -- a father and humble little pain and not you know perhaps somebody like him. They're very very pleasant grant. Com you know what was that a bit result.
