Welcome back Dennis and Callahan free form flat bread photo caption contest riding the course that means we visit. The -- head of the -- Ben Watson joins some AT&T hotline AT&T you're world delivered good morning mr. watts and how are you -- a morning person you're up funeral wake you sound lively yep a morning person coffee person what what -- early band.

You know I'm not a lot of -- at all. At all on believe there are you know the united. Jacket up dog -- a little. -- Tibetan there are some wires oh.

What a guy opportunities that you and your wife stayed -- bad.

I. I don't think you can do that -- manageable this routine like if she's out you've got the baby and and Mike may be at fifteen minutes after she leaves the home. The baby does a big -- but you know shooting -- an -- and Minnesota -- locks the -- is a -- I think he just. I think he just built the diet gears and take doesn't work -- to --

Would be. As one. In or it's cool at that. Do you ever get dry -- in the middle all the changes. --

Hey you know you don't you could do this weekend and it's hard to do when you play in the game of the century -- you can go under the radar everybody. Is talking about. A tight end it just doesn't have going to be the patriots tight end. When you look at that will mean do you like that you like that idea I mean if you go up make 45 catches couple touchdowns. They gonna say while -- all that we knew that tight -- was gonna have a big role on this game we just thought it was going to be the other tight end.

It went up to certain -- got to do you know you never know when there's a leader on the merits it's just. Golf leader who went out of these birds. But you know about the about ourselves our number -- you're about. It causes are ultimately that would lead in the legal processor so -- very you're there.

You do -- would you look at him do you look at him as a -- that is a counterpart. Or is he different because I assume you are you block more. And he gets more -- opportunities to catch the ball.

Opposite look. About what is. They're very carefully. -- Our officers. You know you got from -- investments that can do but he he's good he's at the very wire communities you -- so you know big players who have so. I mean he's is that very doubtful ordered.

About I know that you know one game time rolls around adjustments are made depending what the defense does the offensive Justin also know that in spite of you know ten or fifteen or twenty scripted plays it's sort of the fluid situation but I'm wondering. During the course of the week of practice for any game on the schedule. Do receivers know what the intent is of the offense that week as an example you know. Whether this week -- last week of two weeks before that you're going to be featured more or -- and feature more west is going to be feature more based on the repetitions and what's called in practice.

I have an idea. But rather -- Or terrible. -- but two years ago when employees. Minnesota is in Minnesota there that are of great. You know people vote no you know we knew there. We mine and passed them all out of their run these are -- and we hope you'll vote some don't want to deteriorated and you know. Those -- really good one area. You may decide it's a fact. Not -- On the center court records you did you parenthood. A lot. A gimmick that would -- where we -- you players -- wars. And require only out there where they're not required by audio and so we -- very of the book they're here.

It about a all the things Belichick coaches you guys to do the thing you probably do best well. Do too well the best. Is is to provide provide this united front when it comes to talking about your upcoming opponent prior to buffalo game in the first week of the season. All this the big game to get off on the right foot all -- the New York Jets he has a division game got to win this game every single game is a big game every single opponent is great. In your heart of hearts though is there are little different feeling around the facility this week knowing it's Peyton Manning it's the Indianapolis Colts it might be for home court -- home court home field advantage and and and really more important than maybe some of the other games played.

There comical be about -- the biggest game that these because of the matter and would be. If you went up you -- we. You're what -- payment dispute America out -- the mayor Jerry yeah I agree is an act that the event gambit ought to be -- we. Because there are. You know of the division -- Miami and all that went out the that we so whitbeck ambit of the matter is that we. So greedy. You've got to look at it you know we thought we met of the -- in the and that that occupiers and that volume not our.

Yes so -- not just coach to say this itself like he has coached you guys to believe this.

Yes we are do you believe what the map itself.

The Mac -- do you know how many games in a row they want in the regular season -- nominee you one. Two years ago with a regular season in a row.

And our parents -- Well I guess. I dispute army -- go to red repeat we won't follow.

But you have the NFL record purse winning streak is 21 over two years. And they all they won seventeen straight in the regular season but I just wondering if you guys were aware that if you ever discuss that that they. They're coming after you record.

Or albeit they're coming up -- I would imagine that there. Our listeners are -- that we do it was -- when longer about a comment about aspects. On bail out policy signed an estimated that there Watergate. So it's probably under big about the record years.

You know we heard the story from somebody earlier this year after Vrabel got traded to Kansas City it was about re able. And it talked about his relationship -- Belichick and how he was one of the few guys who could not challenge him but -- have some input. I guess Mayo got his bell rung on a particular play and the offense went three and out. It was time the defense to go back in and Vrabel sitting next to male nudity was still little glassy eyed. And double check the position coach senate back Guinness about now we've made on the site when he's not ready now I sell that just asked the following question. Does anyone other Vrabel is gone anyone on the football team -- Have the cash shape do not literally but figured out -- raise their hand. And question something Bill Belichick says or does whether -- in practice or in games were meeting can anybody say bill another idea about that.

You know are forward well my problem we call quote -- bot armies -- they have. There are currently offered an apartment that point -- vote on he would Mario could use all the way. Hello there there's there's though no verbal Abuja on maybe -- users. The market Mario.

And I -- I'm just looking at the numbers and that Dallas Clark. Sixty catches -- thrown him the ball 73 times. He's second in the NFL -- hundred Nate in the NFL what nineteen catches the volatility 25 times. Which you've done the job I mean you make the catch is you I have the speed you beat the guy you have to beat. You have a look at say why don't I get more can I mean maybe not sixty but why don't like it more balls thrown my way why cannot be that guy.

They'd. It's look at. Everybody has a parole plus. And you know it it it some years in my career could be very dark -- some years you know -- married. Iraq has posted here Sunday you may not. We play on different days but with different people we have different poses. Where -- Mercedes. I mean. You'd here people are comparing yourself to other people up it will worker. You know it's impose its resources so. -- homework you wouldn't have pictures. Not gonna do what -- you don't the -- That we've not been through these so. You know while while you watch -- served under -- or because you're on them thousands -- very you know it verses. It doesn't say -- out or not of the great media certain anyway. Whether -- through me.

I've been a final question -- you watched and the bears 49ers last night -- Jay Cutler threw a career high five interceptions is also at a game he's thrown for a believes it's seventeen right now. And and and censure block of the play the bears this year they're not on your schedule I don't think you're gonna see them in the Super Bowl well if and when you guys get there. So you can go and talk about an opponent to knock on the play. As a wide receiver with -- one of the two best arguably two best quarterback in the history of the game Tom Brady. When you see a game like that you see a quarterback like Jay Cutler do those kinds of things. Does it make you appreciate what Tom does do you look at Thomas or while that that really separates him even further what people understand the difference between you know Brady and Manning and the rest of -- happens to be what your take when you CA which is called an inefficient quarterback -- out there as opposed to the guy -- you play with on Sunday.

On -- outlook police because vertigo earlier about you'd go. There's but have a lot partners. You know the vehicle you know that's the problem. A year I think the same way over the outlook. I'll have a lot more applause won't let. And you can never put all the way in all of act political won't players and of the lot that goes into what you hear on the Sunday in the exit so. Also you know that's a good bit from the you know it took me back -- or America. You know there's a lot more than a lot -- we -- the -- to -- receivers and browsers as well on the block the -- quarterback make it right re so. So you know remove or break -- department assesses. You know -- and a series -- terrible orbit it's a brick or -- you know the situation maybe then it.

All right Bill Watson don't forget little pure relevant hand refugees those diapers OK just the right thing to do. -- all right good luck out there. There Watson patriots out and joined Dennis and Callahan only AT&T -- AT&T your world delivered.
