Is -- Banta-Cain we were talking about him here in the in the last -- first of all welcome to the big -- Hey I don't it to be it here I can go and how I'm not yet. A -- and a translator we work you up to that. I think -- we would talk about you earlier we conducted a budget the the last few weeks is a lot of people -- Because the first round here when you were here the first time you were more of a situation -- a player. You grew out to -- you play there for a couple years you come back here. And I would say over the last four -- 56 weeks we have seen a whole new. Only meant to gain a much improved. Only Banta-Cain. What's what's happened here is that the situation is that the fact that now. You're getting an awful lot of points and you know Wal-Mart versus George you got your full time player now what is that it.
Well. Yeah I think. -- I think early in my career. You know we opportunities weren't really there to meet. Sure like to do and then when they were presented you know I just didn't have. You know I black experience. And playing I think that's why -- was more situational guy and I think I was able to you know established that I can play every down that's quite an analytical pick me up but for whatever reason it didn't work -- now I think. You know it's a combination of opportunity meeting experience and then desire and on the fact comeback with the patriots. I think -- system -- plays -- mean I think that's why I'm I'm having successfully.
Good situation for you coming back here in that you were so familiar with the system so familiar what they did that. The learning curve was pretty quick.
Yeah I mean they they pretty much do the same thing that they did before when I was. Relative to commercialize an end well you know it. Obviously there's always going to be a learning curve in this system but I think that you know I was able to develop through written and -- you know majority of what you know what goes on -- With the patriots send -- so yes Mikey says it wasn't it wasn't too tough for me I'm getting back in the group.
Friends to whom we're playing a similar role in the -- to a good -- friend too much oh here's you know. Who we're playing a similar pass rush -- roll up their.
Oh yeah with similar I think my my first -- there I was you know whatever down I was not about linebacker. And yeah I think. That -- that they ask me if you. There was similar -- they're asking me to do knowingly but it assist you know the different team look. And that is the timing of the organization and what you're gonna happen. -- priorities and our. You know we had it both of these in my -- here there would provide an eleven. And you know our our our in our present -- the last. -- in the last. India at least a year so we'll explain a -- from behind then. You know -- I -- need to get out of the quarterback. You know political science so. You're gonna it was up here and and then but next year it's it's just take hours -- so. Reduce. You know. Being an active -- port into this season. But for whatever reason still understand that the -- then out of that without the -- announces special teams guy. Although boot very humbling experience -- want me and you know. You know what you could do everything you make.
Yeah -- tell you know the -- about your career as you went to San -- from there you went home to play home but. You found out that doing the -- home.
That's true. And I think we're you know at the time but it seemed like the best place to go because my -- they would support grew up -- and -- a lot of support. Implement -- Sammy in the area but I I don't think you know it's it's obviously not knowingly and and the way they do the finger at different from. More related things here and well. European acting. Now I really don't like it -- it was well because people.
I let's get to this football game on Sunday night because everybody's pumped and jacked with that this once. When you're dealing with a quarterback like Peyton Manning -- obviously dealing with a different level quarterback. But the fact that he unloads the ball so quickly what problems does that present for a guy like you. Whose job it is to get back here and hit that quarterback.
That's a big problem you know I think you know you can beat your guy clean and then in get a lot of pressure in the world but if you're. It and you know. You know that's -- and at that point -- you know it's it's really this little frustrating for a lot of people that. All because he has you got that could release it and you know you don't exactly beat Everton and still he's still -- the bottom in the end the terror and -- played so. You know Peyton Manning -- cup challenger an envelope -- So best to get there you know to plaster and the and our.
Williams -- he's hardly ever -- that has been that way for a long time. Is that a credits was often -- him.
I mean because the author of the line you know because then I'd given up this fact but I think a lot of that does happen do patent you know he just. It's easy departure from him it's almost like he he has like it's gonna look beneath this sort -- Steelers -- they just nowhere to be a public so the borrower and you know usually you know if he's he's the -- not gonna -- you're not gonna take this fact. Oh. You know I think that that the credit so they him as a quarterback hasn't been able to make the quick decisions. --
is good as Reggie Wayne is I think the key is Dallas Clark who is going to cover Dallas Clark.
Yeah I mean you had -- he's always. These are the match up problem I don't know whether to keep your linebacker cover him and I'm wolf. You know really it's just you can't say that you're gonna shut him down -- to contain him and hope that. A lot of events they would get jobs in points on the board and as we can do our best to keep them out the end zone and you know -- pulled them two. -- sort drier than. And I really hope that Dallas doesn't get out -- because. You know he's so you know he's he's played like the best I had an animal governor --
Speaker tendencies not. Such as big Norris faster or stronger or some of these other tight ends you've seen round lead. But you just have -- gonna don't know what you -- tribute to.
All that you just -- you don't even athletic by the -- that great and it's. And -- program the end. You know -- you deceptive and his speed you know he's he might after the specified input. You know for whatever reason he breakaway gets -- You know it could take it to distance so well you know I think he's just. We just got talent that they're not a lot of receivers that I mean I think that'll prevent them matter -- You know it's just the credit they have the ability. To play the game and you know he's he's a good health ballplayer and you know we're. Citizens are not sure that every week for my game plan and the stopping of me he's still somehow gets away with you know excellent X amount of receptor in the down -- Well I have problems.
It's only would all the talk about the quarterbacks in the great receivers in this game -- not a lot of people locally nationally focusing on the running in -- decide but what kind of threat doesn't -- post do you guys.
Well yeah I mean that guy you these are monitored you know he went to bring bags you get. Great balance it breaks it breaks tackles. You know he's got the speed take -- you know take -- all the way I think. You know what it is -- abilities you know that that's what really sets up you know a lot of things -- passing game any. You know you know the running game and they're gone so well that you know is that it really doesn't hinder the passing game too much so. If he dishonorable than they know that you really have problems with.
So are you practiced in the bubble today I take it that for the offense they had the the music in the crowd noise pumped up right.
Yeah Leo we were indoors today and so. Published you know it's not anything like what it's gonna be on Sunday but you know we try our best that stimulated.
Do is no big deal for you guys but I'm wondering if it becomes a little -- that -- strange with. You got to listen to without their as the offense needs to know you're all -- know -- music megawatts. That I'm happy you know we don't need it when actually --
Yeah I mean hopefully -- that it it DJs data.
You somewhat Pawlenty and the spirit it's a -- set up top hundred. But never orbited. The -- the beginning of practice and I was in. Out of my wife beater at the end okay.

Let people know about this. -- put all of this clothing line you start this clothing line you when your friends and it's out there in the stores now. Tell -- about a little bit.
