Cris Collinsworth, NFL on NBC

Welcome back our three Dennis and Callahan even though the patriots are on a bike week this week we always welcome the opportunity one of our favorite guests and one of our most informative guests as well. A good friend Chris Caldwell who joins us by way of Britain NFL mobile live hey Chris good morning how you doin'. John yeah tablet on fiber you won't mind -- often this week and -- only -- and -- Sunday night game.

God bless America. Is probably. I've been doing this staffer I I don't go out twenty years now and this is the first bye week all week I've ever had in my life time. It is eyes and I only know what to do and --

So this let's just let's heal up a little bits -- a little more time in the tub feel better ways back in shape for next week right. No doubt about it and -- that.

Can tell you this Chris you do not get a day off a day off in my house because my kid plays Madden and all I -- your voice is in my head when I go to bed at night. -- Internet a lot of money for that.

It is it's a frightening thing and here's here's the worst part I have people come up this one guy who's -- mayor. It came out Tuesday into any -- you -- Hillary and -- like one piece that you are kill me. I know we talk about he said every time I make a mistake on that Madden game your hearts and beyond that -- I doesn't it I just sit in the rumor you know like they're closet and read these things one after the other bike got some pretty rough on their I'll bet my son is now muted mate -- concern about the first orbit derivative there.

Now do you get like -- money like Eddie Murphy gets for voice and Shrek like millions and millions of dollars for that. I thought about this -- brands sold do you like it medical Britain want the gets sold.

Really outbreak could abide got -- and I are back in your head is sensitive subject right guard position on.

speaking of up breaking the bank. The patriots about scored their last two appointments opponents nine -- four to seven Tennessee in Tampa Bay. Does that indicate to you Chris that the Brady in the -- on a -- have all figured out for the rest of the season or simply that the bucks and tighten state. At a combined on thirteen. --

All of that and -- and I think the New York Giants learned a lesson from. That. Little path to some -- jeans and and put up big numbers and everything looks like it's going to go to grade in and they ran into a couple of tough games and and -- so sometimes in this league playing bad teams can actually set -- back. It is a little false sense of security that. That the one thing that I think. You know obviously issues good is that. For Tom Brady I think it's that'll break its full model policy confidence -- certainly doesn't need any confidence that. We saw the exact same thing happened with -- last year you know most people have forgotten that the -- went to enroll -- And that prior to at -- offseason and -- remember the -- start at all -- you know and they and Manning couldn't complete pass and mark -- going to open you know we're doing it every week on football -- American and -- all the balls in the bad throws you -- And then about halfway through the season. All the side and Peyton Manning had a couple good games in the -- looked like Peyton Manning. And he went on to win the last nine games in the regular season he went on to win the MVP. And so nonstarter -- my mind a little in old this is starting to look like. What Tom Brady's going to be you know -- started out in the then -- abrasion and a couple of -- news today and then has -- this doesn't look like -- and then all of a sudden about mid season. Here accounts. And so it would not surprise me at all perceive that same sort -- asked for for -- on the issues that result from -- last year.

Crist calls -- we're we we tried to legal this answer out of Tom Brady are the last couple of Mondays and took two with no success whatsoever somewhat askew. Who is the more valuable guy to Tom in Tom's mind. -- Wes Welker operating out of the slot will all be -- yards after the catch Randy Moss stretching the field down the field.

We we've seen we've seen what they've done without Wes walker you know it and it was not -- But you know I expected to -- took the flip side I'm not sure Wes Welker without Randy Moss. Which have quite the impact either so I you know it. That's the it's the awesome combination of the two did release seems to work but I I think did it in the one thing that people forget about west. Is the impact that he has on that running game winner when these block you know to me it was no surprise at all that Laurence Maroney started taking off and and -- running back started evans' numbers where and Wes Welker got back in the air because when you go spread. You know your appetite and -- to pull -- or whatever it is indeed that I get that one more block in there and west -- nasty. You know that's soccer gets down and there and it blows people while block in insides so. I'm a pretty big Wes Welker ran obviously Randy speaks for so.

A we we know what it's like -- team to be undefeated late in the season we saw two years ago it can be pretty crazy. Right now you get the colts and Denver in the AFC and New Orleans. Still undefeated other pitchers better off Chris with a couple losses is it possible that Tom Brady Bill Belichick and the produced -- ago. Under the radar here in the second half the season.

Let you know what the losses did they use they use spell check. A license to. To really coach. You know it and went bill is -- Little should be you know little. Little nasty in -- tightened guys and ease tension guys and getting their attention. In all of that's when I start really like in the patriots. Yeah. He's pretty remarkable from the standpoint that despite all the relationships. And all the championship rings and you know we see -- so many places where. In seems when a couple of championships first single championship. In their coach sort of falls in love with the guys in our. Oh god my problem in the and other -- friends and I don't wanna cut Allman I don't about it in the insult him and anyway and in Belichick doesn't care you know he's on to the next year. And he's gonna bring in veterans but if they don't work out and get rid of it you know Richard Seymour as a big part of all those championships in yet. Okay it's in the best interest in the patriots -- chipped on and and you know it -- that's starting to the outside football world. To see that kind of stuff go on but that that is what it takes endlessly you know so many coaches come in and their sort of there's sort of -- like when they first get there but then maybe win a championship or two and they lose that part of it he never.

I wonder Josh McDaniels will lose I mean he was hug and -- Brandon Marshall and others. You know whatever was the fourth or fifth week of the season and and going crazy after beat the patriots and beating San Diego. No one thinks Denver can go undefeated or -- may be don't think anyone can go on to feel the Reggie Bush. The -- saints can go undefeated which team is most likely. Maybe not go undefeated -- go 5114. Into the saints colts or or Denver.

I think that these arriving at the polls -- in order to do that you have to have a great player of the quarterback. You know would not surprise we've seen that we've seen the colts coach Ted and oh Lebanon note start cities and then have to play the patriots in the pot shots at and there are pursue it worked out by. Where you have in that that the team is they're better on defense a little bit they've got some. Some depth there now that they haven't had in the past and and pay and playing well and he's -- and it was was young guys you know this Austin Collie in your arsenal and some of the guys that Donald Brown now in the back field that there are pretty good in note that that he. Sort of persuade develops. I don't see any of these teams going undefeated. I think the world and is good. But I don't think there're there. And undisputed patriots. Kind of football teams so I don't see anybody is sure.

that's sort of takes me to my next question is measure of expand that last when you say don't think anybody is go gonna one of -- what's more likely to happen the Tennessee Tampa Bay and Saint Louis golden winless or -- Denver or New Orleans goes on because you know this kind of hard to lose all sixteen to crest.

those things are looking like they're prospecting. And I. That the -- you know. Is true or there's some I don't think Tennessee can go deep seeded they have a running game they have these -- these in these and saint louis' cardinal look like strong possibility yeah they got the lions this week in and Titanic struggle that.

And I'm gonna I'm gonna get down on sprint direct NFL mobile live a player that but that's a.

In that would look like a possibility. In Tampa is a little note -- just -- Smith and John grew more and more money you. -- wants to come back and detergent is now looking like Lombardi since you left yeah that plunged down there are so. -- idea I think there's a much stronger possibility of these. In under these.

You you mention coaches and and handicap Lewis forced the order of which you think they will be most coveted by. You know Jerry Jones Daniel Snyder do fill in the blank gruden Shanahan Holmgren power or fifth or sixth got you wanna throw into the mix. And I think it's gonna be the most lusted after by donors with money.

That you know -- it's a great question and I was debating this when yesterday I still think. It still tend -- think our first. If he comes back and of course you know now all you know and and bills not leaving that Carolina area I don't see him packing up and you know heading for the west coast -- and it's about Douglas -- Yeah I think our first I think she enhanced active. Jon Gruden is you know kind of one of those cares -- guys that can they can comment and in you know. Bring some energy you know bring some mighty. I don't know I'd I'd I'd. I was afraid to say I think that he could really help the -- they've Buccaneers but I doubt that's. -- doubt is gone right back there but you know that that's the London and Holmgren has kind of the -- longshot in this thing you know. He was the -- that put together what 45 straight division titles in the end it is last year you know they'd name a successor and Jim Mora and in the whole think kind of you know goes away because Matt Hasselbeck got -- and in there are some key injuries and so -- he -- is like flying when he under the radar screen. But I know what you want to get back in it as well but I I still think if tower awards that. Just because of this history and I think that in New England you'll understandable but it did. You know once you've been inside a great organization. And you know how that organization. And be successful. It helps you going to one of these places -- not acceptable. Insight I still think he's the top.

Chris I I know the money can change mines even Daniel Snyder's money but if you're all the top four guys who would talk about gruden Shanahan Holmgren or power. And Daniels letter wants to make a preemptive strike can be the first one out there to grab you if -- of those four guys do you say. I don't know based on based on all the meddling based on the -- functionality that entire organization may -- wait to see would Jerry Jones has to say or somebody else. My point is we might have a hard time get the guy he wants because of the reputation of that organization and his involvement in it.

And let me ask you. If you had a chance to go somewhere and made the most money of any. Played her enemies in your employer are you taken matter you wait not the chances of Wales by.

Well if if I -- Jerry Jones had his deep pockets and he was gonna make being offered next week I might say you know what Daniel let me let me take a -- net and an -- has to offer.

Yeah. I tend to think that you grab the job. -- for a couple reasons one and integrate blocks and that defense they've got to go on. Pretty well that's that's you know you have half the equation right there in the guys that were talking about for the most part. Our offensive guys you know I mean you're talking about gruden talked about change talk about Holmgren. Guys they can come in and sort of instantly go from whatever and godly and pointed gamer whatever their -- now in Washington to maybe twenty points per game over night in the way they played defense you might win that division. You know so to me that's still a job that you're gonna get paid probably more. More than than any other job and -- half of the year. The equation already filled. I've taken that job and I tell you what I am writing -- spending a lot of time when it contract. I'm asking -- Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato and guys to go. Upstairs. You know the -- among clergy and everything. But here it is contractually you know when it comes to football. This is my baby. You know and I know you've got a lot of guys a lot of voices circling around and telling you what I should be doing an ally should be doing it. I want all those guys disappear in note there's got to get them out of my office and if you do that and you pay me. Seven but it and then you're there.

What I do odd odd odd turn them all down that sit in -- room and read lines for Madden 2008 and it may mean much more money.

Days I would take the fun form located at the outlook plug --

A -- it's Sunday 415 the only game that matters you think Brett Favre. He's looking forward to this would be the just wants to get crude get a noble with Chris.

You know he's got not the -- now in your repeat. You know he had lost the first game I'd say maybe. But this is businesses. Nail in the coffin here he comes back to green bag. Okay get some again. He can walk balk and you'll have done what he claims he doesn't care about doing we all know that he that. Beat Ted Thompson twice beat him back there in their house won a division. Possibly get. Won a Super Bowl you just don't know -- distinctive and that this is of this this is abatements for people are downplaying this when I think this is the one that he wants more than this --
