back should chill wind blow hard way always Steve Deossie elude overloading it's time for our weekly get together with -- the left tackle all of your New England Patriots at. We're happy to report that the celebrity shootout on Tuesday was a great success and there was no industrial accidents. Apparently nobody got hurt while performing their duties and that was in question probably Monday early Tuesday but we're happy to report lot of money was -- for wonderful foundation and nobody got injured though. I did talk to a Lenny Clarke today and he said that his ego is damaged a little that I I don't know what happened there but. Not. What happened there anything anything capital any interest over the little concern.

And I think you actually shot pretty well would be what you guys didn't call it doesn't call names or anything like did you. An audio equipment for all of that that dangerous I mean you can't go to a horrible well war with when he because you're gonna lose -- it was evident in the auction later that night when. You know when he was up there and and if you've ever seen let me in and you have but for those who viewed it have an idea receive live in an auction it's quite possible before it is an honor and and if anybody ever -- backed up an auction. And he's there watching actually you were.

I actually saw him go into the crowd starts screaming and a guy verbally abused a guy and then end up getting 20000 dollars for the which is like a it's like you know you abuse me and then you take my cash. We we laugh all the -- we laugh all the time Atlantic as we've heard the stories about the the big motivational speech that he gave you guys I mean a couple of years ago now must have been just. Something that I am sure that some of those players had no idea what the bully is the coach do -- here -- that was the San Diego game that was right after. That was right after the whole video game thing right.

There was an and that was that -- the prototype moments you know supporters there's. There's certain things that happen and you did use a chance to hear from some -- people at times and that. And we that it of people -- I mean we have Eric guys like Bill Russell comes because step of the Veoh wants see them and we don't even even written recently to have Doc Rivers commitment and addressed the team. -- really share some of his wisdom -- what -- with a really neat situation but. When Lilly came in it was it was one of those times where. You know there's just so much -- From the outside on the team and capitol could have an effect but those kind of -- that lighthearted moment in accorsi. You have -- problems themselves.

Of course referred to coach a few times it's probably you know get everybody -- and probably the I before we look back at at last week's game and we've been talking a lot obviously about this game coming up. A two part question one how different is this the fence. For Baltimore verses what Rex Ryan gave you two weeks ago and that they do have a new defensive coordinator down there in Baltimore and second of all easy different. In doing what you guys need to do against the blitzing defense of the festival try to overlook and usual little bit the difference of playing at home. The crowd's gonna be quiet when Brady gets underneath open versus what you get on the row.

Well amid could go our go ahead speak about that the last part there as far as playing -- of the road it's kind of it it's it's it's a lot different first off when he came here to communicate communicate. Are you kind of stuck with certain called certain things you do offensively because of the fact that you don't have the time. Or really be the ability to go. And use different signal some things describe the problem we do have that -- package but it -- limits you know. To some degree when your home and you can actually hear that you could use the cadence you don't -- advantage. And you could actually had your head up. Which if they get the biggest part of this whole thing -- you know -- and what we've watched all. It changes things. You know brought up fraud but what we can actually work out their. See what happens see who drop in -- in the -- see who's you know -- and over overlook one starter who the actual. Guys are doing it it makes our job a lot easier now with that -- I mean these guys. That's -- present a lot of problems. They do a lot of things defensively. What their personnel group beings and the guys that they have a lot of certain pollutants. And -- bring guys down the -- community do all those things to confusion. And a pretty good bet that got really good guys do honestly know they've walked some guys. And you know even though the coaching changes and everything else they still have big guys they want -- deep in their system do the things they do and they do really well.

Bill but also the other day that day war low. What you tell -- what they were less exotic. Then the jets -- better personnel upfront would you agree that. Don't disagree with the coach of early as tomorrow.

And abroad well -- And we all know bullseye yeah sergeant. You know it is that that's exactly what it is -- mean these guys. But when you look at systematically they are -- You guys in the position to do things they want to do it probably what you saw a couple of weeks ago where they would leave -- we want all vital line. Forty and they did and they bring ego overload you with five you know leaves six guys to the options side. Rob Morse now on the their techniques. From you know that they're very they're very good at. And make it and they're bullet work I mean they they attack which you do offensively. And use it to their advantage so. You know that -- are smart football players obviously they've got a lot of experience of that the ball that guy -- that. You know just instinctively know why and we'll also. Wondered agreed. You know whether these big guys up from -- Johnson to all these guys they ethnic -- out their with a different packages and these guys know. You know I don't play that big game and whether.

Back in no seven when you guys played them down there they were. They look like him to better defense would do with a ridiculous two point eight yard per average against the run you that you guys still ran the ball 24 times. Deserve. Driver reasons that when you look at it at such overwhelming numbers doubles late in the season two when they've they've already established that there were that good against -- Point four times against a team like that that seems are an awful lot -- did you sense they've been like that come up again.

Well you know I think you run a bogus -- like this you'd have to. Yet it's what they give you you know -- unit you have to be able to. Block that the other front seven you have you don't take care of the down guys. And they did your backs of fighting chance to get through the line and -- in the -- gonna have to make some guys missed because they they do have. A lot of guys just they're either. Drop in doubt into the box or very good it did mayor and -- so. Brought up our bill the real challenges is. -- You know give the try to get you know as a good pitches we Camelot backers. And in the back to really got to have you know run run the ball really well and you know we. What we're lucky we've -- a lot of really out of backs but I think. You know I think you'd mix -- and as you saw last week it will we get the running game go on that it -- every other aspect of the game.

But -- gonna sale last week he -- run the ball so well as an offensive line you see that game clinic kind of eyes wide open and in you ready to go here. You're hearing now with -- that we'll -- gonna win it and get them to the because they can't run how much of the challenges that the guys offensive lines and Aaliyah. We'll show you weekend -- we can -- anybody.

Well I think we've we've we've got a good our running game we've got you know good scheme would -- a good place. Well we've got a good guys up front that no out of -- not gonna get it done but it becomes that took in the running game is the physical side of the game and you have bureau dialed up early -- and -- done early because if you if you put yourself in a bad position. Early on overdrive early on big game and in -- fueled or fired. You know they're they're cut it for our yarder to officer had not been gain. And that's what becomes harder on the global also -- you know the running game -- probably -- physical assault what -- downhill on. Yes do literally in an -- do at all.

We're talking about is last week with you and that. You're going up usually against the guy that is supposed to sneak in the blind side of of Brady and obviously if you get your job done everybody. Raves about -- and when you don't them or guy sneaks in a couple of times and -- you quarterback they're all over your last week obviously John Abraham got nowhere close. To what to Tom Brady and obviously you got all the accolades we -- nobody's clapping get a game ball game ball.

Big iPod this. Sometimes you don't you know now take. Look -- aids. Obviously. Different here for quite awhile -- and a and at that is the way that this you know carpet positions awaited not just in my position but.

Don't know with a -- you don't hear people callebs and Maggette get torched all game. Mainly because the guy you're going up against is the guy whose job it is to speak up with a blind side of the quarterbacks so. And in it's it gives everybody was applaud you did a great job again yeah. -- not I. And you I mean it buy it by the way. And yet the lineup against the Terdell Sands yen.

While. We have that or they collect a lunar eclipse that I couldn't quite literally. They went dark everything the entire space around me it wasn't just around me you'll like at least a thirty yard radius. -- That big men and --

I was gonna say you that's a big oh -- and yet he must've shown up and that must have been I mean. They say he's he's 68. State they say -- examined at 335 he says and he says 68 and three for the -- five what do you think he really wins when you.

I tell you our menu. You're definitely wouldn't wanna upset him. You'd need them -- McMahon and what people need to understand. He can be a three point stance and you know detail and aren't you out of that. Is that it is pretty impressive but you know yes we are you don't remember played against him out we're out there in Oakland. And -- just speculative we walked out of a lineup that the -- human beings and and if you haven't changed these people large human being.

What. When horses came against against Baltimore. Your matchup tends to change quite a bit what are you look at that in film when it comes to your individual match of the way they bring different personnel on the way -- line things up. You're not going against the same guy you every year every time like you doing you know probably records your games.

Yeah you noted they do a good job rotation of guys around and and you know depend on what you throw out their. Did lined up and -- different personal groups I think. You know yet what -- a couple of different. Scenarios -- got I got -- Johnson. We a really good up the field. More noble move kind of guy -- his hands. You'll see him in their yours you know obviously -- As the gadget you know he's really good the running game is as strong powerful player. -- also had a good up up the field moves him and towners off of that in the in the passing game. And -- and then you go into the the mobile guys they have in on the inside that that line up on you that of the bigger. More run stopping type guys and then having to deal also -- as well. That they come up there on on Leo discriminatory that are all of them looking games so this mobile looks it's all about getting in there and and studying these guys see him. We know what were absolute worst of the keys were some of the things that they do well and then what do we yep you know we worry about the most and you're never gonna be able. -- about all those things -- which you you get a pretty good idea. What's in these guys well what what mode they go into them what some they're bigger tendencies are.

And -- pressure. With Ed Reed and and Louis possible we have getting to Brady of those troops very special players are in the NFL on the fence that. Very unique.

Yeah outlawed in the quote guys who watch on on film and that's it he just kind of impressed. Almost every down as to what they gotta do and and how much ground to cover in. You know -- instinctive view is you know I'm getting to the ball around and around his so and -- same thing goes for -- You know -- just. He's just been been doing this for so long. -- it is so good you know making these big plays and -- of people line of scrimmage and and making big plays behind the last numbers for law also. You know you'd -- you on those guys and you got to know where they are on the field at all times and and you're gonna pick them up again that's sort of fizzled by the game's gonna come along. What all the -- picked up in the running game and all that.

We've been talking every week about Tom Brady and being able to get the timing the rhythm being able to feel comfortable back there in the pocket is a good sign. These get so pissed off that his language is like going off the charts now and -- an angry instrument is that he. Not a good sign in that he feels right now that. That with the move here move they are that the suddenly you get the softened spec in here.

I didn't even gotten mad I mean you've been pretty call Mac -- but. Has yet -- also --

watch the TV broadcasting your fuel systems via the it was relegated -- it was Genentech guys' families mothers and I don't know it was a -- and those -- bomb out.

I mean he you know -- like goes out there every now and then it it looks as though you're -- one but in reality it will be. A lot of times I'll say. What might sandwich and that looks completely different.

Now on the field and it is that how we're used to days itself. It.

Yeah actually yeah it. Limit -- spam -- you're gonna happen and it's -- times you know what I'm looking promote bandwidth ability and looking at -- hunger.

That's and that -- you don't get this stuff what you don't have that sandwich I can't understand that I -- but is not a good sign that. -- showing this does this emotion. Because it's not like. You don't think he's looking at -- that frustration of all we can't do it it's almost as if you know with this close -- dammit get the bleep and that you don't say.

Yeah I don't know I mean doctor bill Lloyd says yeah you know fight. You know issues with anger you know so. -- it looked every every single guy that's out there are. Is competitive and I you know -- his let me go think about any time where your. You're you're in a pinch -- you're -- it's a critical situation in whatever you're doing development -- to be any thing you know these. You're you're you're normally not gonna sit down okay well let's let's figure this. Okay but that's a committed and get this figured. You know usually a little bit more -- an agency I mean look these these are highly competitive probably more competitive than the wall on target as much right now. If it's the off season of the perceived it doesn't matter these. If these -- trash can have its you'd give it don't matter what I play frisbee golf for soft but you know the guy's gonna wanna win everything he doesn't and then at the big part of you know what we feed off -- visitors Gian. You know. Go out there and try to make plays and do it right and -- a perfect then when it doesn't go that way sure there's going to be times org Laura before either.

Good logical and so I'm just disappointed that directs the wasting hours of the day watching Dr. Phil it's obvious that you imagine. -- you go through life. I appellate talked looked liked it a try to have a great game on Sunday. Says Matt Light right here -- the lake show.
