Are right back here and AM big show it's the Friday before game two of the patriots season and the pats and jets will go on and on Sunday on their medalist. And it's great because so last week. We had the patriots left tackle Matt Light on the program and apparently this changing up a little bit we're gonna bring patriots left tackle. Spotlight on this program don't know about dot -- we welcome -- a lot of the show you first appearance here of the -- show -- you --

Great being here. Allotted that mine had beaten back spot built the bomb.

I -- you got an. I hope you do that and -- said it last week and other fraudulently programs.

They've looked -- I've got a second with ten going to. I'm just I just feel like it -- the only. -- quite a bit away I'm I'm -- orbit confident the mat so -- ought to be worked out well.

How many text messages to. Did you get after that game.

You know it's funny because. Use do you -- met entered game it's not a good thing yeah. At least at least -- being in my world but that was kind of comical because that I've had that. I mean so many -- On -- like. On the and then -- now come on the show and and and you guys editors.

See more and more and more idiots don't think most companies do the coach gruden and over the years and as angry that you. --

It I let's talk a little bit about the end game we're talking yesterday in average -- was breaking -- a lot of the adjustments. But you made as the game went on because I would take it that Aaron Schobel was a handful. Certainly early on that game what adjustments did you make and other things changeup for the better for.

Well you know. I think early on we just we we were far also owners obviously but it was there was little place there was you know a guy -- guy there. Little breakdowns here and there but those kind of things -- did you rivermen. And and ultimately you know can lead to a really disasters game but you know fortunately for -- riverboat. You know tighten it up there at the end and in route put together two great drives -- great two minute situations. And when the situation outside of the game. But it what there was talk early on -- And they present some problems that we Google attitude they have very active -- well -- as we talked about last week. But we just like a that we were able to capitalize we needed to obviously written in red area com. And and that wasn't you know -- but the -- you start out and then. You know it all comes down to just about what you connect secure would we were we were doing their early enough.

What was it anything that they were showing differently than it's in the past -- doesn't play him certainly enough.

You know what it what the what the like they were thrown out a whole different scheme. You know shoot it we just we had some issues early on in Holland and unfortunately we just portable reader could -- on the same page quick enough but it wasn't like there -- drawn. A whole different game plan that ourselves on the -- at practice of just. You know it just as we were we were far -- also are we have Robert Ehrlich.

When you were down eleven did Brady come in the huddle and actually say hey we're gonna win this game.

Not yet the carry a bag of fairy dust. On each one. -- kind of an awkward manner. You know or for the U -- you think he's you don't know what he's doing an Internet gumbo readmitted to your great no we are. Everybody want to note that like visitors some kind of magical. Words of inspiration.

I think it was ready that was Randy Moss mat that said that. Yeah. I'm. Not. Yeah I'm. But you're gonna evident that you Quebec comes in the huddle and and and you know he's got two guys believe in the Janata.

Yet no doubt -- he's always been that way -- but but to be opposite from me it seems very matter of fact. It's not a big emotional speech it's more like hey look we -- do weird but now we get up. You know that we have a great from an operation negated now Hubble noted calls you know we got you'll -- Do you or so and go back out there at some time to go down -- put another score report to put you know not. It is not I think what people think it all starts out like you know come on I know there are really step in and -- after -- way to -- And really the way did you did more matter expect more. You know here's what we got do. Persons. Are rocked it.

I also this is a couple of guys -- in the studio that we're party pay big bucks for some that Brady fairy dust and that's another.

Yeah yeah let me -- let me ask about worked it worked compliment to -- well I don't know if you're worried about that.

That's a different story to go -- that calmness and and that demeanor by the entire -- to model is that in part because you guys have seen a lot of things together.

Yet they got to get part of it you know -- nobody's first rodeo out there you know we've been in situations like that before and inquire about the week. We. We practice that worry to some degree that you can't simulate. You know that. Intensive and it happens. During the real deal but we do right away and we have been together for a long period of time now -- in order to they have guys. You know that -- stuck around about long -- and it's this great. That that type of experience going to a game like that.

I give us an idea and I know you can't give out the everything because you're sworn this secrecy they'll kill you down there in -- if you do but. You plan make a difference. That really is the Baltimore defense of the past Rex Ryan Steve aren't. They like to overload you saw that the Houston game last week Houston seemed to get confused with the numbers and try to match up what they had against the defensive line. And they seemed -- numerous people through various holes how do you deal with a public speaking is involved. When you're dealing with -- team like the Baltimore before.

What they're obviously a lot that goes -- this week preparation of that -- ultimately comes down to great communication which is. Again going to be. Easier said than done in some regards beat because on the road. It'll make it that much more difficult to get at great communication you gotta have a great week to -- so. You know we we we had a great look from our scout team and those guys have been flying around and given -- situations. Pretty much like what what what were gonna beyond Sunday and and that ultimately comes down to. Everybody -- almost an agent of Vietnam pilot pen and -- scene at the same. In the same lightning going out there and execute well and topic that it ever going to be perfect and it never is but. That there will be convert it you know outcome. Well -- little bit different look at are gonna play so -- worst we have seen yet but he ultimately. Probably look back and we see some games we faced. You know in the past whether resemble more what the jets are some -- teams elect have walk around look at it feels though we've been able to make our adjustment. Picked up from most work.

And those adjustments -- as a is it simply you recognition or do you have to have -- gave a lot of the individual to play against Bart Scott verses. Some of their linebackers we've had the pastor's. -- that an easy thing to do.

You -- not -- it is not easy because prospect they've moved around so much and -- and they do overload you have to do behavior. A lot of different personnel groups so. -- it did but it does come down to recognize who it is and and werder that. And at what preposterous -- to it ought to thank you. Going to be right all the time but for the most part. You don't you just need to take a look at. You know what they've done in the past makes you get great majority get a degree. We -- preparation great film study. And -- so increases throughout the week to give them.

Real I'll close the game was a couple of years ago on that Monday night. Two -- that last second touchdown yes beat them and how much reiterated the ravens in my a couple of years ago Monday -- came up but how are much from a back in did you watch and is it obviously the person tells -- the jets but. Can make duplicate defensively what they did. This Sunday with good at what happened a couple years -- a -- and again.

Well it certainly can't mean look they cannot. They they are a lot out there and and it and you you're you're right it's it's it's not unlike what we saw a couple of years ago about -- effect of -- the -- one. Not possible work for it and it was exciting and and obedient and he noted they did a lot of what they're doing now so yeah we we we definitely want that more lot of other game tape them. A lot of it used in game -- for this.

Doesn't it bother you that these guys -- so -- in in you know you don't wanna just beat the jets now army of even more incentive to just go on trial Rodham.

Port router relationship with. That. This. Might be -- Hubert I don't. You get know me well enough -- and a better. Poll. Truly do. -- all. You know ignored. Orderly bitter. Blocker what you do here what is -- right. This degree of effort so. But again you know. In the weeks. -- courtroom. It. -- Don't want parents in your. Hands and you'll be right. You'll be a 100% right everybody out there in the world. But -- raw right.

But -- don't you find it amusing though that you would think past results. When people a trash talk this team as badly as the jets have this weekend and just go back since 2000 Dole's been here and since 2001 season. With the exception of one Joey Porter. You know sucked up won the first game last year in Foxboro the preachers have destroyed team they haven't beaten them they've destroyed teams were has been serious trash talking -- some lasting years. I mean the numbers back and you look at all right.

And ordered them in particular what. It takes a lot of energy to trash talk because you do literally in the week now -- you gotta you got all the exact route your log written about run your locker room locker room. Of the whole week there's a lot of energy -- discretion for the for the teams to reduce our experience here is noted guys don't --

Leno you know Steve what do we knew we didn't look back on on your career I -- it was all different error you you could you know I'm sure there's. Probably and and maybe this is correct but there -- probably more sense back then. The difference what you didn't have the media giants needed to have coverage which you have now.

Right play hockey way to you can cover that commitment -- I don't know I'm not -- You know it's right up to a third. There is it's it's ridiculous competition for that somebody right now. And that's some -- it's -- everywhere now.

Yeah I mean you know I think in today's game. Everything you say it's amplified. -- a degree that. You know it is you're really really be -- of all that stuff but I think you know we we -- that that way as a team obviously and and you know that there's really need to do anything don't just go up there and -- and play your -- do -- do a team wanted to -- that. --

Well here's how crazy it is it at least in the past you had to talk to a media person or talked before you locker at the end of the game. Now you get on the bus and you can tweak it in everybody here's here's about it I am ESP or whatever or -- within like. Five or ten minutes after the.

Yeah that's that's. It is great it is great we're living in a whole new world but doctors. Speed you do double reading thank.

We're. A little -- that it would what is the policy team that you can -- I don't know does telecheck allow you to us weekly.

Well.

You know it is -- mean once called. It the exact. And and.

That you'll ignore -- we -- and trying to -- could shoot. It more or get an. Accurate. I ask you this because we spent.

A lot of time talking about your performance Maceda is the first -- they said the difference in the in the second half yesterday at. And we -- a breed of -- name and brought up Jason Taylor's name and I know I said it and others have said it is well these two guys that give. Matt Light -- spotlight trouble but -- go without saying that if they're great players at their position they give everybody you're not going ahead of our complete success against the better players we don't bring up some of the other guys that you've faced. During the course of the year and we never bring up their name is doesn't it go saying that. If -- if they're great players they're gonna have some success against you or any other place.

Yep I would I would -- so yeah development look it's. That it's never Burke I mean out here we are out there are great players aren't you know at some political -- key matchups but think that. He gig goes -- position to some degree to -- him look there's a lot of premier rosters eruption off the left side. Help our linemen and as well and there's a minute and a good guy across the board in army look at this week in. It's that there's a guy like Chris -- will give took to the guys inside interior. But it is big match up there and obviously matchups on the outside to look what they do with their linebackers Brigham up yet so. Yet you you can make decades to some degree for every single guy at every position but you're you're right I mean did you play at a -- To figure brought there and then just stole from audit report it just is -- little ridiculous.

While I would think that in those games where you're playing against -- better guy people are gonna be talking more about you after. The game because those guys are gonna make some -- you talked about jackets and and obviously his name if we look back at that Houston -- one untouched a couple of times. That his name we might be talking about who's blocking him this week I think it probably goes with. The great players on the other side of the ball -- what the matchup so. I've met so we will we'll talk to you next week have a great day game coming up on Sunday and listen if it isn't -- on -- you don't play well to phenomenon that's all.

Yeah and and let's also just record Rodriguez did take up -- break -- you had been called for 22 minutes straight.

And not only doubled notebook looked up state we get mr. -- comin' up and smell. -- shoot. It is that forty -- it's coming up that Tuesday after next so -- that rock very good computer people but the point tonight -- Tuesday. It's coming appeared in the month and people can log onto. Matt light of YouTube dot com for information that they can exercise and -- 781. Update or. 5381. But it -- be a great year we get -- space in. A lot of really new and and exciting things for the fifth year here and that's always a blog or. Lower it.

There is one of the best charity events what's different -- to dip yeah I think also there -- it's a great event lot of fun. Analogue you know and you trust lot of guys -- lot of ammunition which you'll would you explain to the fans that they don't get to shoot at patriot players would you explain that to themselves.

You know that there. The other that a few that we we thought about it but no that everybody's consent but they hit it so it's a beautiful setting. It down an M Rhode Island that it police -- 900 acres just just. Good times and that's written orders not to mention the but yeah we got grapefruit -- liberals commented due to dinner again we've got a cute don't look for lunch so did your congregate like shoot bank one. All stressed that -- come on down what was.

What we're gonna have yeah look at the cigar didn't get mr. Darman -- from -- from Massachusetts these. He's got a great got a great product become that. And rolled all the cigars and good -- is unbelievable so what what what import.

I will allow will mention a few ties between now and the twenty ninth -- that well -- addressing in the.

Doesn't like 72 dot com and his BO website. And 781784531. Pretty information.
