Welcome back to a patriot Monday it's our quarterback our -- joins us on the AT and he -- AT&T your world delivered good morning -- how are -- up.
Good morning guys I'm doing well it's always a pleasure to wake up -- Morton has spent little comedy.
All you relies so nicely -- perhaps never before. Has the disparity between the haves and have not been more apparent in the NFL and I'm just talking about the 59 nothing score infected chipped in sixty tuneup and that was safety. But I talk about the difference in quarterback's numbers. Brady's six touchdowns 380 to 61. 61 exactly 152 point eight passer rating -- about a map major and Collins minus seven yards and a passer rating of four point nine. Ballmer is a former quarterback could compare and contrast the feelings and emotions going through those two quarterbacks at opposite ends of the spectrum yesterday.
Ought that you -- put your imagination run wild because. It was as an -- that they yesterday. In Europe though led by the major tournament -- government. Robert along -- I mean there was. It was just some horrendous football being played I would -- donated them to tighten. And -- columns work right there at the top I mean there were a lot of our competitive game yesterday and opt opt. I'd never seen anything like that I'd been a part of something similar to that Abu Dhabi media -- used to mask used -- Houston. Oilers many years back. But I don't remember opinion that easy. I mean. It was like scrimmage as the 67 on seven. And guys were as open as I've ever seen in history they have a problem so another clip ever seeing guys that wide open as a pitcher receivers -- aspect.
Don't they have hand them -- go to titans have to fire Jeff Fisher -- they have to replacement his point because. Clearly team has given up. And always been -- sixteen years it's been a good run them but it but you know everyone's time runs out eventually. What good is it keep them around and and and play -- out history.
Well you know there were one of the best teams in the league just last year. We do there were thirteen to three last year. Of course they got upset at home. By the ravens are. And plus I I have a great affection and certainly have a great amount of respect for what Jeff Fisher has -- and I I can't. In a suitor say that you regard but I find could be. In over his head he's not Jim -- he's not Tom cable -- not in anywhere close those guys and want to -- blog about. Things happen to view. Negatively. Like what happened and amnesty yesterday it's just it's a -- that -- that happen to have meant to change that that the patriots -- what they did yesterday but like we're talking yesterday you know that we could -- the pitcher to bring up the score don't think that I thought was that it -- It used to play there as a very very good chance that one knucklehead defense of player who's getting part of being embarrassed. Would go after him and maybe -- about for the rest of the season I told him about worry about. I cancer -- one Jeff Fisher part -- use them not street crept up. Up football -- he deserves to be able by the personal.
Is Vince Young hopeless in your mind.
What a view that well in the snow is slated to close Kerry called for that matter closed. You know the other you know it. The you don't want guys that on the roster nobody wanted to play then yesterday we have on hand. That was going to be here -- for them from the standpoint the there's secondary result I. Bank Gupta they had replacement or backup players playing in the game for the titans but I'd never thought in my while streams that given the weather yesterday. That it would end up being like one team was on ice skates the other team you know was on ice picks. You know it could be beat. In ability for the Tennessee Titans. To remain upright and wanna come and play it was about as embarrassing as it gets well.
It reminded me of last year's game were Arizona came in and laid down like dogs as well the difference is I'm pretty sure the titans are gonna make into the Super Bowl the --
Now another not that did not one thought that. It can be you know what's really interest and we we talked to each and every week about teams. You know of these thirteen and -- the -- Detroit did last year. And with the -- the titans played but you know what get a fell. Two weeks comes by it onto we will be back on the field again you jaguars. They should be healthy and you know there's this game will be a long distance. Memory for a for a lot of those pork so I can't sit here very that the -- Oprah this year -- one -- that this week as their bodily down and not going to be pretty you know buy it -- it stretch.
A -- nothing else the patriots and certainly Bill Belichick are pragmatists. And and given how poorly the titans played in and you know didn't drop for at all whatsoever. And the conditions out there. Beyond building confidence beyond you know all the good things that happened yesterday -- down sides with the patriots did yesterday.
You know I guess the they get all sportsmanship angle but I don't. So another Bill Belichick ever really cares.
No I just mean in terms of their preparations for the rest of the season was it you won't actually -- another crap in there that's true commitment to epic. Again next -- next week but -- it would make out what's true.
Magic shows the range that the patriots have OK let's break it down that way but I I think. You know what you ever quarterback ordered not that was struggling. Those are coming off with a -- game which won't ought not. -- a -- touchdown passes and put them. --
And here's the ultimate trick question who had more net yards rushing yesterday the titans of the patriots. Question the answer is it is either one right there. Neither one -- 193 each other ethnic there was some competent. On the spotted -- there was competition you know what -- this stuff up.
But -- that's with the part of games like that is the -- quarterbacks are you know there was just some horrendous football.
I was gonna ask you last year the jets started 83 their quarterback was an MVP candidate men may yet. Obviously came crashing down there of the coach gets fired the quarterbacks. Gone whatever happened -- Favre anyway this year you know Sanchez was celebrated. For the first few weeks. They were lead in the division you know they were -- Rex Ryan was the toast of the town. -- they gonna come crashing back to earth big time now boomer is is Sanchez spit.
The well you know I'm not gonna pretend that he's not going to be -- report stoked that that it all the he -- to really be a very good player I think he used the rookie wall right now and his play yesterday it was about as bad as you're gonna seep from quarterback you've been in -- on -- port sea plate yesterday in China's -- later that. Didn't play you'll be as bad as. As mark suggested. You know -- The first probably drop deeply cold weather and the winds at the meadowlands he had a real short -- field without. Problem I was part of -- didn't -- on the announcement because he was just so a lot of it and so -- That I think sometimes these coaches lose sight of the fact that they do go to the other guys on the team to do of their team a chance to win them on -- was point yesterday it didn't have a chance percent of all that the other isn't that experience aspect of trying to lower output quarterback and you know developed -- Sometimes. -- You don't have the mental. Make up the -- stuff like -- but that is a three game losing streak he threw a lot of perceptions at all he was booed yesterday. This is where you really find out whether or not particular play he bounced back on Monday night game against Miami next week they go up Oakland. I would think that you know he has shown a propensity comeback from poor performances. But there's going to be a really -- long -- for them.
The world really got to catch the end of the fourth quarter and all be over time that the bills jets game I was astounded. About how bad both of those football teams look to miss -- it's amazing that they would even be on the same field. -- doing the patrons based on the performance I saw yesterday -- Fitzpatrick couldn't get out of his own way you can -- five interceptions like Sanchez did but that look like to. Am I the biggest shocker is it wasn't a scoreless overtime.
Well no you're right I mean or point their points and that overcome retirement -- it's gonna end up in the pot. You know -- committed six penalties and overtime fourteen calories overall. Made a couple of miscues on special teams very it was -- forget the interceptions for 12. I mean the jets this -- ran over 300 garden on the Buffalo Bills and it became should have never even been close but what you. You profile and receptions by your quarterback and an interception by your holder leading to six interceptions. And all I mean that I don't I you expect the one football game but that is kind of shows yet. How bad off or laws that it took all the overtime but probably win -- game in which state took success interceptions with Chet spoke it was about as painful put. Football game. As you could watch at least in the -- Tennessee you know wanting something.
Do you see any anyway this doesn't happen again next week in London.
Now I don't. I'm into that restaurants are -- that they planned -- they do plant on the next week I mean. -- that among the principal polled want. Export well you know crossed the pond but I would imagine that. You know Brady's -- lot of pepper bay Buccaneers again and everybody's gonna go popped up for him over the air. But I don't see how. Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Josh Johnson the quarterback and even close and.
Able -- a discussion rages on about I don't know and pick a number before best quarterbacks in the National Football League. We have to take if we say it's Brady. Peyton. Up debris out Roethlisberger and Eli -- to take Eli -- put breeze in the conversation now.
Arctic -- is gonna in the conversations you know it was demonic opposition to communities he's really been great the last couple years in palm. You know yesterday -- what was sparks. Bigger jets -- embarrasses more have a giant -- have -- you know leopard at the raiders last week -- Antonio Pierce and just talk talk about knows -- majority house I was 500 yards of offense ran up against that you know number one defense in football I think that problem but -- but now this morning. -- breezes. You know each and every week keys -- protest now president -- these games so yes there will be a you know more reduction Abraham -- in a -- went through yesterday. But you don't forget about Aaron Rodgers and you know -- forget about. Summit of the young players match Robin of course Matt Ryan. You know these other guys you know take color not why and and all these different there's a lot of good young quarterbacks honestly break you know what guess they showed is worth the defense and in a well. There's absolutely no defense mean played and I would probably say that the patriots. Steelers the usual suspects. Have the best sequences and football. -- other than not there's no defense being played anywhere right now.
It -- do you boomer when you hear idealist Thomas is an active Joey Galloway inactive again. Is that just a pragmatic move by the coach put the best guys in the field or is he sending a message ought to the player all or maybe --
I was shocked to hear that there is Thomas was enacted not -- why he was caught on I don't situation that well but we all are -- it was sending a message. You know maybe you was coming after it was played the last couple weeks maybe you'd disappears in big spots in. In May you know errors -- critical errors and coverage. Has begun -- what is an aspirin to rush. All sorts of things that you know Bill Belichick might be doing and then only sit them down addressing in 04 year old sale. In his stead so to be there there's definitely a message being sent therein and I think any time your players that -- that huge creating Contra collected -- the ability. We can't in the ointment and you don't play. You there's a reason you're not planning and coach wants to put out there. And you know nobody has talked about it all -- duplicate the -- they want wanted to order that it promised on. But obviously you must not be -- well or doesn't feel well. That the -- and that's because of this place let's wait for coach. To unfortunately outlook they embarrassed supplier but a well put a player on notice that that they're not happy with the way it is planned.
without fail every Monday we always askew and I'm answerable question so here comes today's how to. The raiders beat the Eagles ascetic government nag -- McNabb six times to what is going on with that.
Well but in you know you'd figure out sports talk radio could be horrendous -- you can test the -- are effective but we can that the jets and the giants that this morning could you imagine what it's like into. In Philadelphia this one -- did you imagine what it's like for Donovan McNabb won't put up nine points against. A terrible raider team I mean that was that's about the performance yesterday. Who will a couple of Eagles didn't wanna apply it like that in that in you know that in. They thought that like going out on the field in the always have made the danger for every team only. By just going on the field and it took him so bad because JaMarcus Russell so baton that we can would negate. -- out their plan and have best football game. On this what else -- the patriots very rarely ever do very rarely do they ever lose -- would need other editor at. That there are exposed to whip hand in -- that's always been a Q you know Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb that there all -- there's 23 games a year when it upon themselves. Bought five or slugfest. That really should be be taken place they should be better map. They've had more success and that -- and and I'm sure this morning at Philadelphia it is ugly it's anywhere in the league this morning.
It could be worst of their baseball team outscored their football games yeah yeah they got that going for them. Our in New York -- counting on a fairly -- them and that'll be that'll be fun Philly New York World Series will be nasty but I don't see anyway. New York could lose with clutch hitters like Iran you know October performers like -- I mean I don't see how the Yankees are.
The clutch -- that was being in -- good one planned cold weather famously. Between shortstop. Second base in the third baseman weren you know they get they get those stocking cap on -- as dig up shortly ago I -- Requires close at 32 -- their bit they wanted no part of the cold weather so as a potent yankees. He's coming out when in these games would -- CC sabathia had a pretty good -- audience and Mario Rivera and great. I think the I think the angels lost again. You know you know you're -- you take away from game. How to protect -- And in this case to meet with the errors in the this plays and then -- support base running. But first the twins and now -- angels and yankees -- 50 not because of their own right that packet because of the mistakes and has seen the planning.
or will wrap this up of the football question what if somebody told you Saturday night how much money would you battle following trifecta. Jets lose giants lose bills win.
Are you there's lot of I felt like -- I really -- the giants. Like that -- I like that put up but I collected the jets were gonna blow up the built built the console awful. But you know you'd never expect -- back. -- perception or it is going to be one long week for repeated.
success touchdowns at any level.
Not -- slide. Two or three times. You know I would -- this is a little bit of activity yesterday Garrett comedic mock yeah not mine but I'll. -- Go to Tom on after that you could ask him how he feels about it like it would probably would a couple of little bit more people a little bit embarrassed over the whole thing you know lies. Well we're gonna -- already did it -- and work. I'd be that was that was that was awful I mean NN -- that you don't look -- evidence Lebanon practice but you gotta get twice the one public by Albert --
L that was cheap shot -- and but I am you said this earlier I was thinking I'm a huge number come on the third quarter ups and this a good chance that gonna take another shot yet him yeah what do you think that was a roughing the -- public schools back to the great big hope is -- He's not still angry and not steal. Try to get a shot in and Brady -- 41. Would like to get a good cheap shot in somebody's gonna try it.
That's no reason why city regular -- feels. Because I know bomb just from -- expert to myself -- embarrassing somebody. Or you're being embarrassed. It's really hard to control your emotions and you know if you get a shot at somebody due to chance to knock out. You know Brady could of dealt with that but that I could talk about run up scored an all big -- they get paid we get paid. We're gonna score it's okay but the one thing you don't wanna do is put your quarterback out there -- was some angry people that attracted huge problem.
Let me take you back to 1989. Cincinnati. 56. Tampa 23. Five touchdowns --
Implement it goes along that's what you're good at that you know I've actually awestruck -- what do you remember one game -- sort of repeat and 61. And I do believe. That we had 58 points with about 12 look -- game. Arctic -- called on out Sam Waksal on the field goal kicking people on the.
cool.
Now now never to be one -- Jerry -- coach of these doors. He called time out to try to ice the kicker -- Obviously to breaches that metric we want to get my X 61 to 76114. Or something like that well. We've got moment like that do work that's pretty.
Our final question is the guesses that is the big and go for Tom Brady and retreating in the paper this morning is quoted as saying. There is no doubt a game like this can really give you a lot of confidence. I'm sure doesn't hurt her competence but based on how the titans didn't play based on the conditions based on as you point out over how wide open they are. Is is -- tell the truth there that this game gives you a lot of confidence.
There is no -- I mean that's that's one of the technical department that he stood back there are you actually played in the legitimate and -- game again -- what was legitimate copy McCain deploy yesterday. Which one out there you performed. And you know he had probably one of his greatest. Eight Tuesday you know statistically anyway. As in a -- quarterback I also evidence that it's US property law would be better better most experts are passes went -- not been well. Org a game winning touchdown pass in a playoff game. In the final quarter untrue that he I guarantee you would tell you would be the latter -- yesterday was the joke would be --
Good doc and yeah we'll talk to next Monday and appreciate the time I. Great art book a sizable Dennis and Callahan joining us on AT&T hotline -- TNT. Your world delivered.
