Boomer Esiason, NFL on CBS

Welcome back at the patriot Monday the quarterback. AT&T -- AT&T. Your world delivered I'm still looking for answers boomer good morning first of all.

Well good morning and responded I can't go on oil. Men dressed meets track meets. Track meet involving New York teams -- apple out yeah via now on. You must be -- like a sixty dollar they -- the inhabitants on the right. I'd actually pan you know watch game last night watch so yesterday can realize one thing that -- that is that would ratchet it appears -- yeah amid a pop. --

Well what happens in New York -- when one team wins in the other team loses -- you just spend. Four hours on your show on the on the team that lost -- is that basically -- works.

Rated. Not pretty also will be bitterly complained about the opera on Clemens. I'd strike ended they were just deplorable beat promptly of people will be bitching all -- it on people but yet to --

I think some questions answered for me and you -- to answer the ball -- anyone of these quick five but I have bloomer and it and jumpin. Why is Randy Moss a patriot captain Wes Welker is not. Why does Bill Belichick think the answer on fourth and one is the quick handoff to the fullback which never works. Why doesn't Ben Watson get -- an offensive coordinator Billy O'Brien grill and screamed bloody murder. Will the patriots function of the fifty men 51 man roster the rest of the way or will Randy Moss an idealist Thomas understand the there is an I in selfish and finally. When is the last time you heard defensive backs on the losing team say somebody on the winning team quit in that game take your pick Ballmer.

Oh my god or our outlook the last last -- the last. One you know -- the last one and Chris Gamble as. Was right and anybody who's watched the games and those last two games of the late. At street where so called red mosque on the orders of -- the -- off the field palm because I can't imagine that a player. Would be so shallow as to allow. You know being sent home Wednesday to affect his performance on Sunday as a matter of fact -- and I do -- probably -- not kindergartners -- don't need. You'd be sent home and be treated -- like that but there's something called for an onslaught I don't know what it is I don't already personally I don't know what's happening in the part of the last few weeks and you watch the films it's right there funny yeah. You know and everybody knows why is that the -- wide open Roman Oben also talked about there are part there are plays -- you can clearly see where he has just basically flat out bought and I don't know why and I think that Tom Brady's frustrated that they. Think that Bill Belichick its -- that they all teammates. Have to be frustrated and they get better that -- out what's going on here webcam. Burners in them that they don't and he doesn't quite motivated -- football you'd going to be await what he was yesterday.

Was the most. Are obvious and evident aspect of that on that first interception. Because. The cornerback gamble said my job was easy on that one he came out of the brakes so slowly it wasn't hard for me to read the ball. I guess your Brady expecting a wide receiver to run any certain pace and that's where you put the ball. But be just sort of regularly it's kind of nice and slow coming out of this cut going to the sideline it's not gonna work.

You know bad that we hung up last week you guys -- ethnic question about what would operate any after the game in the -- press conference after their loss to Miami and Thomas talked about players to -- current. Reckless yes and I artery said the need to -- Right Iraq I don't as footnote that promise and he cryptic message to Randy or whoever I don't know -- just making you'd like -- state because sometimes quarterbacks. Get up there. Pontificate week we say things and hopefully we'll reached players but that watch informative discussions they have found one yet. Of course government sent him -- problem. The camera right there are -- The bully. That he thinks something directly -- most flying to get you motivated to order in the fight for the football down that you don't want the great thing. About ready boss -- his career as it got the ball was an. Anywhere near him he. You would go up and get the ball and like nobody else in the history of the -- so what you're watching him. And you watched on the field and again you know don't put up body on which -- on the big body on which I eagerly want -- on the field need. A couple of guys into it mentally and appeased really excited about -- more support is completely. Disinterested.

And and it's funny imagine Brady he's he's got to be walking on eggshells it's -- he can't afford to lose him. Any more than he's already lost to them they.

No we're we're we're about professional. I'd get it at Arctic edge -- home. I'd never understood this this whole idea you know our our currency NBA players go to resist the general Malays to -- guaranteed contracts. And -- approach with the coach about pocket too much about -- much -- yourself -- point -- also -- the university football player who really want he's motivated in these. Opponents on summit best yeah. Increased one of the best of that -- the -- I east I don't want a quick quarterbacks he's gonna in the critical player awesome. A so that we need. You'd think that there's gotta be open multiple on air and hopefully -- in net you know he can't wrecked. The finest person like for whatever it is but it's a guy that looks like he's distracted you'd disinterested. And I think it's probably the you know very frustrating to the quarterback.

It has to be any stance that such stark contrast to the other guy slot receiver who's all heart and and you get this guy moss. Who's no got no heart at least right now and it's -- numb. And a ticket it's so important if they don't get Randy Moss to snap out of it then don't go anywhere right boomer Mineta.

Doctor write him and to go back to want your original questions about why it was well aware casino just you know. The Senate Bill Belichick I'm so toppled Adobe has promised -- for all of its original art electric. Apartments and office just plop runs on the -- Serbs that give it took IBC's of these things is supposed to happen need to. Attached to them on the NHL would make you'd see up to somebody wanted to member NHL clubs not a big deal too big ceremony at. Means a lot -- a locker room. And to watch a nine play like Wes Welker has played this year communities that it after the game was we were flat somebody needed makes -- play you know. And Tom Brady echoed that sentiment. You'd -- not always makes the plays for us they want to be a tough guy you wanna make a decision here and -- a statement put the C a Mac guys. Belichick what do you -- you --

Archer contradicting yourself though when you said they're not kindergartners because that's and -- assembly sent them home. Will -- to -- off his chest is even more insulting and sending them home it's even more symbolic so what about.

The position coaches that. That sent these players all -- is this idea out there at a Bill Belichick pulled them. Into the office it's atlas in this wants and home that's not the case -- not that a discussion between player coach and I understand that doesn't understand the position coaches you know are you know pills -- you know sent government to get these guys that -- we've got to do something we've added we yet have we. We focus of football in and you know if if the -- promised is being com. Deactivated because of the player in the field. You know that now. Also flies in the in the face and I want to drive and playing like write -- on because there's anybody that should be probably deactivated for his part on the field it would have to be Randy -- you.

Absolutely let's he's my an important my next question perfectly -- given and it seems to be watching that game yesterday the Delis Thomas hurt the patriots. Far less than Randy Moss did right is Randy -- took an active role in the interception in the fumble in the short armed. Alligator arms over the middle he hurt the team a doubles Thomas was not a factor -- that's indeed the -- boomer. It and Brady and and Belichick are trying to determine somehow what they're gonna get out of lost the rest of the way if Randy Moss is gonna continue to make in this kind of all I don't know gutless performance attitude are out there are better off with somebody who has far less talent. But a lot more heart like like and a concern element or or stand back for crying out loud the Randy Moss.

While always says that -- animosity on the field he does -- require attention just in case. The light goes on. And that's maybe you know we almost are about who benefits from -- offices. You know be there and that is. As Wes -- is no question about that it is simply about Kevin -- he -- province and Benoit should be benefiting probably you know team they want yesterday and the -- one yesterday -- as they played at the pathetic offense ended in their own right in the Pampers the -- Forward -- ease of ease of use of much better coach than most people are under the pressure of the game in the spotlight could be. The united coach -- a premium team but there's certain things that you know what he does things like that there -- that he. Should be criticized warned -- this is one of them and on Randy mark and owner of about it Thomas. Inflicted the you know there's a different level of acceptance here and -- the other aspect of all of this that nobody's talking. And I don't know whether or not a plays into this -- not me it's a personal. Then between now though a check and Billy Thomas antidote Thomas remember is also player -- And what else we dealing here with the over the next few weeks you know months only to be -- you say yeah. I thought of how that plays and then eventual goal pulled the wall that also ought to just give us the best -- the wanted to double play more you know there's there's both big ball on there is some. Meters on the individual and that is in and there's obviously a broken relationship there.

What would you say if I told you that Randy Moss was the only patriot not to make the team charter. From Miami back to New England last Sunday asked for and got permission from Bill Belichick to stay in Miami the only guy who stayed behind. Asked for a -- as head coach and got it.

I would tell you that there must be some issues going on there they're very you know that leads me to believe that there's there's maybe something going on Randy liked that you get -- I mean I'm not at. And this year but there is a a modicum of professionalism that every single player. Should adhered to and the reason he'd do that is because those people that pay those tickets to go to that stadium you know. -- That's hard working outlook -- money that they decide to use there you know deserves. You know their entertainment dollar on -- was a football player and they deserve better unpopular director of account out -- all the trouble stop but the at the bottom line and to -- economy. -- 35000 people would show up for you that you want those people whose parents and the 50000 dollars a year to watch you play those people watch you play Serb. Better from the use of rendered that are going to be sure is gonna deal with what every beyond what when he steps on the football field -- it was team he has to himself some. What he has to answer the agent be a better effort.

You know will do what seems ludicrous now is a question we asked probably a month ago maybe six weeks ago view -- Brady. If you could only have one of those two wide receivers to go to war with which one would be -- Brady and both of you at the time when -- and -- and well -- one does one thing one dozen other I mean there's no question in my mind would -- have killed for a guy like Wes Welker in your arsenal when you played.

Actually did what what locker loss to talk Welker Macias yeah there's no question mark on. And I -- senate last year that you orbit there's war under appreciated player because -- six foot five of them on down on the field make that I've registered touchdowns in -- you know a lot. On on ESPN news -- lot of dirty work in and you know uses physical receivers there isn't football he takes tremendous -- on the football he's. Everything you. You want. A football player and he made because he set the example I was should be on and that's that's why I'm now I slept this young architecture -- bodies. One speaks volumes. For who villas and and I hope that used the first -- on the pulled all out this year because but the harder part receptions in the dirty work because he deserves.

I just hope he stays healthy for the next you know 456 weeks with a all the nasty text there -- an appointment. -- but it missed two games studio head threatens.

And ago Harvard podcasters that's. Insane that's ridiculous that's a good.

Randy Moss has six in the last three games. You know what boomer though I -- some people want Brady to call out moss at this point but. -- for your perspective from a quarterback's perspective. Don't you have to tread lightly around a deeper receiver if Brady were to call -- moss Opie were to say you know -- gamble said. Wouldn't he risk losing him completely and if he loses them completely doesn't that change the offense and and just change that that their chances down the stretch.

Yeah -- idea -- Robert operatives -- let's face it you know they've managed not to do that. You know Drew Brees is not gonna do that you know when your quarterback in this week do you have. Would be some portable political. All that it was said the right things we always know that we have too much praise while we went and we have -- which point only loose -- have to try to beat the middle and so now. And he got to try to reach these players quietly -- to. The field on the practice field may -- but not the media note you'll never reach any of these players in the media is not a fact they'll walk that they all do. Pay attention about what is that what is written what is needed what is. --

Any medicated to practice on time.

Anybody who don't like sometime you know and and I just -- to back to that that whole you know certain those guys on the I do believe that there as a distrust that has little developed with the news team -- that. Distrust Bill Belichick because Bill Belichick does win the Super Bowl without Tom Brady looked at that straight right now but there are other players an epic a lot of it has to do article. But -- of the trading of of urgency more epic that caught everybody off court the agencies and and when you loose. You know bad feelings -- on the -- that permeate that they continue to grow and you have a very strong. Professional football or Thomas rock the to be the player -- Probably seeing -- things gone around that he's not very happy without wouldn't be surprised that yet. Reported some of those things and so PA and -- you deal with this nonsense as well as lose games so you have a pretty toxic pet situation there.

So you suspect that it wasn't just because he was nine minutes late to a meeting on us.

Obama personal -- for you don't stop what there's -- and deactivate them. May you know you'd you've signed as a free agent coming here -- rush the -- Now and you knock it. Any pass rush whatsoever to Largo and distrust the pastor the that again that that might watchable when you're looking at things but -- and now -- Those guys so I can't value firsthand the way it is -- can only go by what I what I year what I read and my own. Personal experiences. Fourteen years --

We know boomer a -- was the only one to speak out and the lash back at at Belichick so that might have had something to do with it as well. The other three even Randy Moss kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything other than it was my fault -- responsibility Randy didn't even say that -- also do one call that you know get that bleeping bleep out of here -- kindergarten and all that he -- essentially criticized the coach for doing what the coach did.

Well remember word I can't promise kept from Baltimore right and Baltimore was always about one. The players yeah Ray Lewis. You know it's always about what was negate use about the players there was -- attitude that the players had the great professionalism that he has brought to each and every in the fire. And the intensity. All of those things. You want and you know what is it about 100 what was -- a public check them put them -- in the eyes want Super -- there you have a clash of personalities as well. You know I think from Parcells vocal on it between two.

Taken last one follow up question on moss says that as it applies to x.s and -- and quarterbacks connection with a wide receiver could guy is not running his routes hard if he's not trying to sell the fact that he's going to be a viable option on that particular play. Does that really allow the quarterback in the safety to. Two to cheat over and give more help to beat to the rest of what -- to trying to do my point is an -- Randy you know rent these defenders and Randy would tell you sometimes I trouble all you and a sleeping on a blow by you and that's probably the case. But if he is not the the initial target. On on on a particular play -- argument to a -- does that help the quarterback -- the defense in general shut up lay down.

Arctic crust samples and yet -- again. You know they -- note -- on it yesterday. You know Randy was trying Milosevic sleep that old -- was a law behind us a little spark the Senate yes and you know it's and it's not just this game it regards. -- you know we watched the film we look at it and from we weakened after the fact elect a once they all watched this game. And I'll look at it and I'll watch -- watches is effort on the field -- last week there were their number replaced with a lack of effort or lack of possible. And and other games this year and -- thanks so I really really don't know. Again what's going on with. There might be somethin' that we don't know guys that. After the fact one that comes up or all of our all of my -- but wonder -- that you like -- right and maybe we'll have a better understanding of that but right now I would I would say yeah optic. -- separate the professional from the personal and and -- earlier votes of people by those tickets to keep your effort each and every week and and and they each day goes hand in whatever city you plan. Won't recognize suppliers that -- and an election here at I don't have. Talk about about a -- witnesses vacancy on the field with insults.

Well what's your feeling and AFC east right now boomer I think it's become a trendy thing to say one of these teams jets dolphins are gonna catch the patriots. Down the stretch any chance in your mind of that happening.

I don't think so. -- Com in -- in Ottawa out for the Poland and the playoffs because I want -- San Diego you know right now could be plant has good did not. Or better than everybody else -- David going to be talked about and while.

good -- San Diego and the vikings are playing all the other teams that are at the top yet if the commissioner -- gets his Christmas wish. Will indeed be the undefeated colts versus the undefeated saints in the Super Bowl --

I'll PLO right now you have to sit up but you know -- three games left and you know current market hurt you never know what happened just some teams went into the playoffs. And you know -- one and done. I would say just from a purely selfish standpoint. Now would be great for CBS's that -- got awful schedule without this year. To get -- and you know Indianapolis into the Super Bowl would be unbelievable I'm the president.

Undefeated regular pretty quotable gave my article -- mind yeah Brett Favre there either. It's consolation prize.

Yeah I mean any doubt that they had a big name quarterback should be great. And -- our guys also say that you know this supplement -- happened here over the next three weeks that you don't we don't see we can't protect. -- don't want these teams could lead quarterback or could lose a very important -- supplier and it looked into the -- One dot would not be surprised to see Indianapolis if they decide to -- war being undefeated. You know the music game -- to do you know could be patriots ago an airport that more could be it has enabled charters its championship on their play them I would be surprised that that think their couple Putin and -- executive order to do that.

I would Marty you're already on record as saying coward to Chicago when he when he takes that job -- gonna get all the credit you way ahead of the curve. Who gets the job in Dallas when they put out are really a question Phillips on his misery.

Arnold I don't know you know could be Brian Billick. You know critical right O'Bryant there are -- that he wants to coach. You know hot topic he's going to be paid ten million dollar year coaching them. -- into our. And of course Shanahan went -- to deal with Washington that's going to be huge deal there. I. You know those guys that might might be Michael -- but I topic Michael wants to coach having Michael wants to do it the Bill Parcells. Graham who bought a franchise -- that's that's what he wants so. Supply I don't know why you don't although you don't build it seriously don't doubt be a bad place to culture and yeah very good department epic. But I I think -- just got -- to -- out an -- he's trying to send us all sorts of signals.

Are you working the night. I am not -- delighted -- along with oil slick site excellent -- they appreciate the conversation. A Merry Christmas to you we might be talkin' to you on Monday not to -- to Jerry doesn't want a commitment -- Christmas vacation will certainly talk to vacation -- kidding me yeah.
