Boomer Esiason, CBS Sports Analyst

That's -- on a patriot Monday continues on Gerry Callahan Greg Dickerson the you know obviously off this morning patriots win yesterday improved to two and one we continue along with Boomer Esiason on the eighteenth -- hotline former good morning Harry this morning.

Under a pretty good guys and I would imagine that you got the deal particularly from football sense of things right.

But they wanted to despite the struggles in the -- own. As they continue through a lot better about this football team this morning. I never would've -- and I and I and -- you felt going into this game I never order guessed that the patriots would only have given up ten points that its Atlanta office.

Well -- likeable with a deep and not employment data and -- not to be on that as Richard Seymour Mike -- would get stopped talking about those guys -- no longer year. But that the patents held its own the first three weeks -- easily that the way I look at it. -- in the offense that has been aspiring mainly in the red zone you know on the development of -- you disease or 3035 point game. --

Well when you look at that Brady and you look at some of those over throws in some of the inaccurate throws that are uncharacteristic obviously Tom Brady boomer. -- look at it just say it's a matter of time that in 345 weeks. 810 weeks that those will be on the money is it just rust and he's got a when it's got to work through this.

You know of the injury that he Spain most players aren't really truly right until sixteen to eighteen months after the surgery and actually oh -- about you're Tuesday sometime early next week at 21 Tom answered last year so we're not even -- the year -- yet. I also think that the fact that yeah -- by Albert Haynesworth and you know we've we talked about. So -- we. We want to their game against spotlighted the that he threw the ball the custom -- act accuracy that we used to do so the back but he attempted. 142 at three games and still not 100%. Any old you know a fact of albeit not perpich. I think approximate true greatness that he at quarterback and on our.

three pre season games in three regular season games enough for you to believe that. Tom Brady enjoyed Delaware will never get on the same page Ortiz saw the Seymour.

Why aren't -- Remote village -- no -- extraordinary majority college not -- if you want point seven and I and I clearly see that is that -- is that they are clearly behind -- And was regional that we all -- ourselves right now I don't wanna pick on Joey -- boat without Wes -- in the lineup all -- that -- I'll wait to access a much more prominent role and they are not on the same -- but also. -- gallery now you know it was a player that he wore ten years ago would dispute in the ability to get out of the breaks a lot faster and is now. I but the could be seen mention that you're seeing open receiver were part of the career.

While and physical thing is one thing boomer but clearly that they look collector not on the same page and AMD had problems with Sam Aiken yes that is well and this is something you would certainly know better than we we would how much of that is it's communication chemistry. I mean obviously Joey Galloway can run and you know a fifteen yard out around a post pattern but how much of it is this site adjustments that we saw. Brady make with Welker and it's still make work with moss and do it so well.

Well it's a big part of you know known exactly how each other's going to react in. I stressed there are situations right practice so much it's always been able that kind of alleviated much anxiety and a -- stressful situation and I. So I know that I see that it's. Between these two players. And we're not talking about FitzGerald Anquan Boldin deep breath -- I mean we're talking about you know Sam -- and we're talking about Julie college guys. You know that would be art department a lot of rosters in the league so you know again we've been -- years it was players that aren't mobile typed -- and he made them better. It's gonna take time but -- what's welcome back they wanna be truly the -- that that we ball you know. Become expect if if Wes -- on the field it's truly a major major mr.

I wonder if it's easier for a new guy like Julian element just learn -- me if he is a blank slate Joey Gallo has been around for a long time. Is it harder to teach this old dog new tricks than it is to -- new kid from everybody played receiver before. And and just start from scratch.

Of the make matters worse for Joey the guy he beat out for that last spot that has receiver spot Greg Lewis makes the catch of the year the plight of the year. And I don't know what what Joey Galloway did to. To win the job over Lewis but quickly. The they'll -- the Louis Favre play. I wanna hear boomer break this down because to me boomer but Brett Favre just through -- up there that he was that.

Eight people up there are but he. Deep -- purpose. I would say that. They got they got a break I can't. -- that -- and Terry. Wouldn't have extradited back in effect in the rush to replace a -- or those guys back -- and don't let anybody get on.

Isn't that rule number one they don't get behind you on that.

I mean they got behind him Jerry I write up by three centimeters I mean unbelievable. The perfect throw. It was a great catch on believable. Player vote to keep his heat in round. I actually picked the 49ers -- it when the game. Simply because that but that Minnesota had played to support in part to weakness as as a pretty good game. And be sensibly they could shut down. You know the the -- which for the most part they did but note that you know that I -- that I actually you know Brett -- game -- packer. Came way back in 1992 we did things dampening the might Cincinnati -- It took over for comic out in the in the next game he started. Against -- expert Q and he has in the game and so I unit I know what it's like and now you know why the vikings went out -- prep for probably two or one.

Now if if I didn't -- my own eyes are on the triple right what I believe that it happened but -- I actually watched the angles with two. Fourth down conversions on a final drive in school in the last fifteen seconds of the game and be. A very good football team -- quality wins for this team coming off that abysmal. Finish against Denver in the opening wake.

Out of show you the AMOCO unpredictable I thought it would when the game yesterday simply because they put so much effort into trying to beat the Pittsburgh you're the Pittsburgh there was always have been the barometer for the -- of the fact that Ben Roethlisberger several ought to them. In Cincinnati. Sooner or later got to come to a man and I figure. Get your of the Pittsburgh there are you gotta be troubled troubled boy you'd be -- yesterday that not a Pittsburgh or deepened that we come -- now. The fact that they allowed them to convert twice on fourth down. Even witnesses that it angles grown -- managing the clock and not using their time out appropriately. It just goes to show you that -- now on your if your not on your game. And you don't have your best player Troy Polamalu. You were going to be acceptable. You know on the play would have been made -- so but I'm happy to. The mangled -- long time they've they've had a winning record in the practical look at this morning -- still reasonably good about themselves you know about.

A it did you have a week three in the TO. Lines like that diva bitch about the place election and about a quarter that was that was at the -- the week he predicted this would happen.

You know I knew it gonna happen soon there. But the fact that he didn't have a ball query out people were simply didn't -- reception because I'm on. And off I mean you know in the promote the book -- in this. Medium you know covering -- a fell on a daily basis you know we're all waiting for something. And no longer about the -- and puff game is known thing you know that everybody in the media up there. Couldn't wait to get there alone here what he had to say about him getting after reception and the fact that law they got a double -- yeah there. In view you're got -- I. On November some camera there now when it's freezing cold up there. He's gonna happen if we keep packet -- want to keep back problem and it's gonna get really.

I forget about November December it's gonna get ugly next month that I probably got another two I predict he misses a game to attend Lamar Odom and -- things -- another -- we I don't have -- welcome owns Marion back but. It and on top of that boomer. He dressed like. -- and kind of clout and the tears Rodney Harrison's words in the in the show on NBC should -- sit com that's only is is a clone. He shows up with that hat and sunglasses and go displays or give me.

Just towards plays and give me tips and that'll run over and over you know that the fact that he says it that way it typically means that they can -- that they often were -- as quarterback and head coach in the whole thing just the matter I'm war. You know this kind of August behavior was going to be a problem but. I Amman on all want home kilometers we do thank you the first out all right lunatic. I think in terms of the way he treats quarterbacks moments. I think he works or you know on a sort of that I would've never got along with -- room. But I'm sure is frustrated -- what receivers in this league especially the upper Echelon wonders if frustrated -- hear about it and he's -- you know he's this generation huge on.

Do you do you agree with most and Jerry Rice is the greatest wide receiver ever.

Yeah right now Wednesday without question he is the greatest wide receiver and edit. Unbelievable work ethic but don't think for a moment it Jerry Rice wasn't you know at a low but that helped push net that that no other group wide receivers now.

So where would you rank Randy Moss.

Already -- is going to be probably in the top five -- the only problem with -- losses that you know there have been moments in his career -- he has not -- 100% and you know he he got way out of Oakland he got his way out of Minnesota. But now he's lucky enough. Point Hall of Fame quarterback and basically being quietly been a professional because he knows that you can't complain about you know what Tom Brady has accomplished in his -- and he can't complain about. What your head coaches accomplished like that he's got a good spot to keep them. I think motivated and keep quiet if you are aware of you know the Buffalo Bills right now I'm not -- sure wouldn't react in the --

and in Philadelphia yesterday obviously Michael Vick got all the all the headlines for his with two rushes in three passes through a wall whatever was but. At the -- the quarterback Kevin -- is he for real.

Idea obviously you know two games he started his career passing for over 300 yards in the first on -- happened and the interesting thing about what. In Philadelphia now not a you know Jeff Garcia. Michael Vick yet Kevin problems plans that talk and all you by the way Donovan McNabb is still there I mean this who has the potential. Are being. You know just -- absolutely. Explosive situation I would imagine one economy comes back Jeff Garcia will be released. I can't believe I go to the day camp believe that the raiders released Jeff Garcia after watching.

if you -- power rankings and that cheesy device of all right what what what do we number one in the AFC today would have been the jets. Would have -- wouldn't be Denver jets Baltimore -- the colts.

I would probably. I would probably put all more than one right now. And the reason being because they know that they they're gonna have a good -- after treatment is not a good -- is and and in the past but you cannot denied. That you know Joe Flacco he's stolen. I mean the last three weeks have been phenomenal program he looks. Mike you know he's the ten years and veteran. I just think that the kids go all the good -- next week you know -- that they are doing and we're gonna visit them and Baltimore I would problem which stated that the good chance -- ball more -- nicknamed the back they have to go to Italy England and -- seemed to -- better offensively that they expect to run. Ago and patriots this week but Baltimore right now would have to be number one Peyton Manning has all the short he planned as well it. Ever played war -- mark out made it is quarterback coach frank Reich -- that would. The last three years and frank Yugoslavia they say you know where Tom Brady is the best players -- means when you're -- in the injury or forgot about that. On the original Peyton Manning is pretty special one and I Korea in many its special right now might be in the best football anybody. But I think that number went along --

And on top of that diagnosed coverage when he's at Dallas Clark. But who the other guys he's from a football tunes I'm gonna he's got no running game either what he's doing that much more Mazen.

about the fact last week yet the ball for what. Payment. In the points I mean that was ridiculous performance against Miami Dolphins -- I think he's playing great and he's right there -- there at the top but I you know I thought -- there susceptible. -- effectively to the wrong which means statement on the sideline and hope with the next in the of that to them of that and do the dolphins did he get real conservative they're.

It could help in a way who among garlic lover Harrison's out of the picture. In a way it is is Peyton Manning no longer under pressure to get him the ball -- all at once or twice make sure that he calls is number. At least a handful of times per game boomer.

I would I would think yeah you know I'm not been met Reggie Wayne -- opera -- Reggie Wayne has been a -- that you know -- man he's in the companies they've been together in the isn't -- rear and he knows he's gonna get his ball on his way in. Are we just and when you have about it many you don't take anything been them. You know you don't pissed him off because he does have the ability to you know what I'm not gonna throw a view -- problem vote -- I mean that's a good patent plan right now.

Yeah I think there I think around the league teams will be kicking themselves and Vick plays. Teams that can use a quarterback and we talked about that boomer you know what whatever it's tamper or Carolina or. Sampras Cisco. -- the red hawk -- that's. Tampa the raiders. -- Because it leaves Tennessee and and and they go oh and for -- home. Tennessee the best record in the league last year correct.

Yeah they dead and you know but then again -- Miami had a all of them.

That's true which are -- couldn't you see that common producing Miami dropping down to a 798 may just have one of those years -- yeah see this come with Tennessee -- had no injuries last year than an easy schedule last year.

Bush I when you look back at scheduled you know look who was beaten -- all of -- that you do -- yourself you know made via one day. You know what sham but you know this year. Like any Al you know via the twists and the turns nobody wants to store owned Korea and to me that's like Carolina -- It is on the -- because of based our own. Koreans at the zone in -- You know of the measures -- area the year five to seven jeans and make the well you know right now -- probably episodes than anything -- the Denver Broncos. In all -- way you know in the war on -- Man and Chicago Bears all teams that you know -- outlast -- look like to make it now but we Altman. Around that long enough to note that it is war patrician and his partners of the of this sort doesn't mean you're --

that being that being said. The jets prove something the yesterday by beating Tennessee despite the fact that that the titans --

All right I've bought the jets -- the -- when yesterday. Their defects as points so good guys that and they -- column is gonna have a great game and he did meet. To a perception he completely left the Senate passes. As they always say -- look at the back of the baseball court to see what the guys and if you'd you know each year they wind came to be said -- watched you know look at the past performances against him that he carries all we struggle. Against wrecks line the -- news and struggle. -- not a bad news in the struggle with the two steps in Victoria but they caught them. The jets are romantic on the road to on this week in May now be the real test that that out of the -- is and whether or not. They truly can stack up against one of the best all -- football.

Last question for me boomer I guy got a -- Randy Lerner you think he's feeling pretty good about his decision to jump on Eric Mangini like in likely ten minutes after get fired not into view anyone else. Also worked out for for Mangini and Lerner and company in Cleveland right now.

But Jerry you know I've been -- who -- American men Judy's biggest critics and you know the guided today the perception of having an awful personality. And I think that personality is permeated through this franchise. He is totally screwed up the quarterback situation to me it's always nice when you decide on a quarterback to make that decision you live with a and you but the guy makes mistakes and fight through some of the -- he's in -- that obviously the -- and now they have a quarterback quagmire. You know he played. The CIA angle word as what you many but he information except. The information that he did not find some 1700 dollars. Statement of bottled water out of their bill you know many bars so. -- you know he could be part talent it is -- adding we want right now guys and there is -- light at the end of the tunnel and they don't turn around known. There's no way that that fan base put up with in the the year -- pepper.

And -- down and in jet slams they're kicking themselves so let them get away right.

total you know 180 -- Rex -- as much but -- is he seems to be in -- fans are not happy with them but in the -- perspective. I mean this is -- complete 180 degree -- from where we -- where they were the last three years so he is rushing as far as -- head coaches go on and it.

If if Mangini gets -- gets the -- this year Cleveland. Is he ever surface anywhere else dubious as sesno always ahead don't -- the head coach.

I'm no way there's no I mean did the name left tackle rebel.

A walk away would like twenty million dollars for the last two jobs and right.

And you know what I think he does believer not. You've been out from all intents for -- appearances all of those copies nada and you happy I think he does have made very good reputation. In the coaching ranks as being a very good coach and he can always get a job somewhere else if they don't around that your.

Boom or -- the Yankee fans think those games count over the weekend I think they really think it matter.

Yet that our account obliterated. Of the fact that that the Red Sox were talking about I guess -- in the week. That they clinch a while court there -- gonna celebrate at the bubbly and everything in the locker room. The back the Yankees room -- room and the Yankees remote celebrate yes it is -- the Red Sox Mel -- And human element ought to yank players so I don't -- for the Yankees and Red Sox is that the matter how you get there is always come down October as much as well we have great yes.

no doubt they're gonna meet but I have a lot of deficit into a rubble we'll get him to communicate can even -- seven series to go seven games I will put the over under on hits for a -- good to produce for the Yankees they won't have to face Paul -- in the -- like -- yesterday and struggle against them.

I hope I hope that it that it brought in would be happy now everybody's thing that -- the -- Where is the range plan like to use -- and everybody just waiting you know for one thing and others either -- rate playoff run or again and that on October that the case is going to be real long October for Iraq.
