Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

Now Barbara -- the recent article I read about Junior -- what he's doing now the football has commenced and he's not with a particular team. It was 530 so served 63030. -- guy or gal I'm thirty breakfast is. And and then more stuff -- and then again and he's an hour right. Now 0:9 o'clock every -- and -- not interrupting the end of surfing or the beginning of working out Junior -- are presenting -- tackle let contest we'll get to that just the second joins us from California where we junior are we have finished surfing -- about to work -- or somewhere else.

I'll never my cup copy partners are good people from pot had Bostonians. Well -- You never join us serve and a little bit better he got discouraged about pretty good yeah.

Now you said you'd be willing and able to handle six games linebacker with the patriots if they called wondering would games two through seven. -- your schedule are you thinking more December January junior yeah.

Are you I would definitely looking at December January it is premature.

What what why could it what is have to be only six is it that is the physical toll the medical commitment. A little bit of everything junior why would you only be able available for a limited schedule.

Well I think it just its its only. Why me Jordan -- and -- it's just basically if they need. And did I make and most they can use me more. Towards the end and looking. To do it. And you know I'd have a lot of you know obviously. Close -- has been you know slightly Belichick has been I was. A pleasure what they've been neighborhood these so many years has been. Great respect of mind. You know if I can do anything for them --

Junior I'm wondering in your estimation is -- chicken -- defensive system a complicated one as NFL be offensive systems go.

It definitely yes it changes every day and you have to be undertow in yet. You'd really have to know the game. Soap -- and what you get that they have -- into the game so much my panties. They work and it ended did do a great job and make sure that I everywhere and you know locker room and the decent society are on the same page. You know it's been a pleasure.

So my guess is that down the road bringing Junior -- or maybe Tedy Bruschi back in terms of ramping up in getting you up to speed. Would be hackable buddies -- than somebody even as talent as Derrick Brooks who doesn't understand the system hasn't played in a fair to say.

Well that that's ours and that's fair to say it -- anything he did it to perfection if you have any kind of knowledge. You know actually -- scheme or you know away. Culture. It's always. It's always easier to do dissect and urged.

Sure work out that you do every day similar to your work out a year or two or three years ago when you were in season.

All my work has basically just circuit in traded up every day. Uses obviously the served as a a way of doing are you work but -- The only you can never trade to be four poplar. You just have to be in the sport it's -- just get yourself conditions. Beautiful shapes. Or anyone saying that they'll be ready to play. On condition -- and mentally and physically emotionally they're -- Have -- that did not find a way to get what we --

Do you think that the patriots understand. Your situation and for that -- does every team understand the situation that you. Are unavailable for now that they're not calling you now September other junior.

Now. I'm not even -- agencies in the paper you know on the door and enjoy the kids image of him like that. Worked so hard work and you know. The fruits of our labor basically here and now and if there's any way I can help you know Teaneck. Four. Put it this season I look at. And there's nothing that.

They do we talked to Joe Montana the other day and he said he. He can't really play with his kids after all the -- he -- canola. The injuries and he -- he made a lot of money and he's obviously a legend but he's paying a price does it hurt when Junior -- goes surf and every morning.

You know that's one of the best blessings I have is that I don't -- you know and whether or not that's gonna comment in time because it it does you know. With it would it would even if you did play well. To be able to work out betrayed him rendering it would my kids. Play -- insert into the city's. You know doing now definitely the -- blessings that you know that I embraced I would never take them.

Generic and what a phone call comes in December or January. Are the patriots. The only team that you would consider. Rejoining San Diego that group some mothers or or what.

dispelled Bill Belichick. You have to understand yet to have the trust factor. I have went with bill. And do -- I don't assistant and -- but the coach. And it was being echoed bill bill has is that he has he has a he has -- And committed to December of last year I trust that bill at a plant. For me and the case he he wasn't just bring it beyond just to be a technological he had planned and I will be it would. Contribute. And we did that for four days long for a is that in it was a our success. You don't just being able to be it would build it -- no it would build dust. Was that was good enough for me to get on the plane to leave in the west coast and -- board and --

Junior beyond his personal planned for use specifically. What does Bill Belichick have as a coach that sets him apart from the rest of we have a discussion this morning. It -- in -- in a vacuum not knowing who was better prepared to get to the Super -- who would you rather play for somebody like Rex Ryan or Bill Belichick the public collegiate level -- play for it all hard ass like Nick Saban four or Pete Carroll. Why why is in your -- double check that guy what is what sets him apart.

What he has to resonate number one that's very important. And number two he has system networks and systems called work. You have to work he's that he's he's not a political guy. It's you know it in our times and now it's -- you know you have. Come back in the day when I can totally seniority was a big world. In Ohio. And -- kept guessing you're very. You know better. Years behind you or about securities get into the player that the hardest hit Bob salary cap Bill Belichick has played okay. Either you were people form we'd -- play. And is actually nice to see actors and every one hasn't changed. And -- either not able now we need to. And -- he is that too.

Well -- you know him and and respect him as much as anybody weren't you surprised. When you heard he'd traded Richard Seymour for a future number one --

I'm not surprised at anything that goes on his actual full following a big part of it for nineteen years. And what you try to do you just need take the journeys as you go away. I mean you get realize I left my home town -- the thirteen years of service here's San Diego. And I have a ticket to Miami for three years and I was blessed to be part of a you know obviously the culture there and -- 42 and after two years and again or worked. That surprises you know what should be surprised. Sewell went out there and he had a great game movement in -- and right goes on and turn the page. No way. We -- something like that happens obviously there's so many days that go beyond. You know just the table for -- He he made them -- but he had the plan. He noted that unfortunately.

Junior speaking of the culture in the locker room Ellis Hobbs recently spotted off and said he played hurt. -- out there would maybe he should have gone out their but in his estimation. There were other people in that locker room who milked injuries did you see any of that when you rear.

It there's always going to be so what talkin' about the locker room and there's it was a B negative and positive and I attended leave the negative out of Iraq because everyone -- there could be there. And these -- to be respected is that it's hard and and now there's a lot of emotions involved. As some people get their feelings shared some people just just like like to talk about it while it in that culture we don't talk about. We will allow it just said -- Marco we take care in Iraq.

We somebody mentioned this morning that the team with the best linebacker -- now might be ESP NN junior. That would Derrick Brooks yes they Bruschi the other today. Have you turning down offers from TV and just because you may be ready to play again and on the rotor. You just is not the direction you wanna go and.

I just that haven't pursued that. It. You know I attended just wanted jewelry you know in my life with -- with my kids in. Take an opportunity to kind of be with them for now. You know really just kind of -- and chat chat channels or or one B -- in the transition. You know right now amid a good place.

It must -- did you watch Monday night yeah did you notice that given your number away. Did you watch the patriots came Monday night. I assume you go look at and I believe. Derrick Burgess was -- 55.

Good men and keeping them keep their number -- Phil --

Battling Willie McGinest is happy about a -- would you think do you feel like. That the when you saw this team play Monday night that that obviously they struggled obviously the defense struggled did they miss. You know Bruschi Harrison Seymour made no no -- I mean while obviously mail but was there something missing on the patriot defense in your opinion Monday night.

They got -- and as -- that matters you know it's it's great when he went because it can learn on the road on the run. With you know something that you you channel your energy force so many policies. I mean there's so many days and Nazis that you -- just like. Win that first game. And there's so much preparation -- every way it doesn't matter how you -- we've probably all you want just give it. There are able to do that so I'll date in this city.

Legitimate and what we should point out that you hooked up the people look combos and something called the tackle. Life contest where five grand is going to be given away a -- that's all about what you're doing and how people can get involved.

The world to all the listeners -- what you guys visit -- dot com and tackle our contest is basically going out there and just. Getting your dream projects that he's been -- put enough so many years to get it -- about it for a hundred words and put in that demo tape or to -- that public that comes I -- you can where you can visit. Get this under words together and non. Write about it and you can do what we want to give you 5000 dollars to get that that in an assist you in and is that capitalized contest is basically get everyone off the couch again all their deities it could be part of that Heidi do whatever he'd be. -- out whatever -- yes we want you to write about it. I'd I'd do -- that he can visit. Without and to.

I get a junior sale dive tackling life in tackling like that are exactly nothingness can actually bought here know them like a catch at all. All right so what I guess the earliest we'll see you be like sometime mid December if we see you all your New England Wright junior.

You can you get out about it he had that it doesn't work sounds great junior sales thanks for much of the time. I guess Junior Seau with Dennis and Callahan.
