Michael is off today Chris price from WEEI dot com and NFL Sunday is seated alongside. Pay the the good folks at cores -- are launching a new package they're calling at the cores like silver bullet aluminum pint and it'll hit. While it did hit shelves nationwide a couple of days go on September 1 in celebration of the arrival of the new. Course like silver bullet aluminum pint they've teamed up with renowned quarterback Ron Jaworski to launch the past the pint for charity initiative. Benefiting the second harvest food bank of New Orleans and jaws joins us on the line right now -- I don't.

Great equipment that I like it past the I do like -- That accurate aerial port to -- the passing game. Let.

Well tell me a little bit about what the charity is about level talks in football as well.

Well there at the charity element involved that's the beauty of working with the course like partner with them on. The people a lot of this that they over the course like FaceBook page and digitally -- Course like so. I'd like to read and there's a really cool thing about it for each Ike passed. Was like don't make them you'll suspected are an effort to reach all by the 200000. Deal though he. Gulf Coast -- and we also know what treated the oil spill there that people. Area suffered so of course like it's really trying to opening -- they can't -- 200000. There's so release of pleasure to be involved with that I doubt it next Thursday in the organs and that. -- would kick off gave up -- I'd be involved out there that very.

It's a great idea and people can want to get involved can go to FaceBook dot com slash cores light. And and pass your own digital cores like silver bullet aluminum pint to a to a friend. Speaking of quarterbacks it's the perfect -- this is such a quarterback driven league. All those people who love the New York Jets can a guy can a team led by the third best quarterback in the AFC east -- good.

At at at the very good question that we can answer is that Monday that -- couple weeks that the New York Jets host the bulk of labor and our first Monday. Yeah I know we are excited about that -- Mark Sanchez clearly. It's not ready to -- at least he's in. Will be out I don't even -- that that it is very aggressive. At at the candidates gently they'll probably auto which helped a bit of like that the talk about is going to be there's deep that it might. Well that's not ask arts the we were all and they still need them and it is. Juanita when he passes and -- ball off on screen and about with and that let them eat that they like that they're.

Jaws you don't wanna read too much into the pre season but what if you've seen from this patriots teams so far through these first three pre season games that really stands out for -- both positively and negatively.

All you know it's still that is in development stage protect the other that the outlook report on what. Which was that I -- that we thought about that but you don't know it's hard to. Placed those guys as you know the guys can't be that's been. -- they've been in the trenches they would like to be in a game that's important. We just don't doubt that he ordered his -- in orbit the younger players that there is butler but that. The about the size of the season. And that is that a lot of at first the adult situations and we don't players that's always -- with the Arctic -- the opposite to be dynamic is that any. Football. And here I like about what he'd been I like the house. -- and as. And -- about this past week about the -- it was in Green Bay out that the other. I have a lot mr. Michaels greatly. At the Packers have a tight end. Six foot 521 that. Runs -- but I've received. It position he's a very typical met with defense spending that the patriots. I have that the guys that. Why don't you control the inside of football the -- walked out of control at Syria. The entire football at. Welcome back to work -- off the inside out while Wes Welker a lot.

It's funny you should say that we had dinner last night with the Christian Fauria and Troy Brown now one is a former tight end but once a former wide receiver. And they were both the most excited about the addition. Of that tight -- weaponry for Tom Brady and the fact that he apparently is. Has the confidence to throw the ball to them.

Well at and that really is. At that actually. Quarterback most Arctic. -- The shortest amount of eye on the ball in the air. But the key component is trust that when you're on the ball it looked so well lot of pot and you can bet that guys that becomes at the our writers and guys like to read the that's really well that -- that -- but it's gonna take a little -- develop that that's quite open it will earlier this -- That's well that's spot won't between what people want I didn't want that relations it is probably all the been. Outside running. In a tight end in the running game also tied in the -- actually. And 36 world wide receivers on --

Jaws what's your assessment Laurence Maroney here with the patriots.

I don't but what I did that that just kind of you know it's inspired you'd think you'd get a break out the alt and take this step backwards and had to take specific reasons why but you know you I have to see him and he's just that by the pop watch -- and -- have been delivered. Well and very decisive. Then you'll do the same game museum and apparently -- and I just thought I don't know all the that clarity of vision which has been indecisiveness about -- wants the public the football but I have been inconsistent it's never -- Sixteen games won't what is navigate that -- at dynamo.

You know I've never. Questioned the entertainment value of it. Hard knocks is must see TV for me every Wednesday night but as a football guy yet thinks something positive can come of what they're doing.

I think that that that the entertainment side. In you know I that would people are football opposite -- and they -- know -- a big article you know what you -- Rex Ryan addresses. You know that I work. -- people at -- wives you know have that ability to see that would work -- just hop on eyes were all the I think that insight that target that we just don't -- you know -- I've been around. As I said it well no I'm proud that might like it's my apartment but when people don't. You know to see that up basis I did it in the idol. Pocket shall aspect of those articles that -- also shall it kept that we. The the the.

Give us the name may be one of the patriots and another a couple of guys me is ceased work -- under the radar right noble work gonna know we're gonna be intimately familiar with by the into the season.

The public -- that the that this is the definitely I and it's. That really bind entry and don't when we talked about the Miami. A copy years ago I thought -- in the but a step -- instability. But it Chad Henne comes up with a big cities and -- I -- Morning that a little playing time under his belt edition of bread and Marshall of and that it's also that he. Ordered as well there are gonna run the football ourselves out that they wanna do but I think --

I was kind of half joking about Sanchez being the third best quarterback in the AFC east but a fight if -- ranked them right now obviously Brady is the top. I have any second now the question is and some of our our listeners were actually saying they pick Trent Edwards ahead of Sanchez right now.

I wouldn't go that far I think you guys edit right I think that right now the ways ago you know he's suffering from very -- all that light up I think. -- the typical I'd make it this season as they get that running game going up up as he. It's Spiller you got approximately reads these and that's that this guy's got some latter -- suspected -- yet the -- special player bills.

We were talking to some though the listeners in there of the poll question today in our website is should the patriots starters. Play in the pre season finale what's your take on that.

Absolutely not I'd I'd.

Is that there's there's there's there's no reward for the rest right now dot I think for the most part that it ought to. Don't these days many camps training camp I think right now the coaches have a pretty good idea what everybody to do maybe you wanna you guys. On the bubble. Thirty means that -- but it the most part all the jobs are pretty much -- right now acts that you wanna do. And these meaningless games. Appetite entered 80. -- guys out there. Work but not starters.

Can Pete Carroll be successful in Seattle and how Long Will it take him if he can't.

that. You know it's it's that it's a different game. It is it's a different outlet of the rebel. That the deal was -- and that they'll just woke up like he did USC. Great players and instead to come out out of eleven games that that was that one. The national -- only a lot up every single week at an opponent that -- potential would be that that make that little bit up I think the the transitions look at -- took. -- come -- realize out as the analysts were that they'll they'll they'll look at 3030 pop out. We can't we can't change is not that -- it the year it changes every week. Incredible. About different things I'd see every week that that they -- system. They we are popping game not involving. A strictly at the NFL level that's going to be a puppet just. We built them make kidnappers year but it is the smart guy they got the people that Seattle organization -- in. Transition. Aides say I don't think the ultimate -- got to -- at that okay. Economic out of that would mitigate the but they clearly are legally.

We were talking a little bit about the rule changes in what this means that did the National Football League this year how things are gonna change a little bit. Is it fair to say that the biggest change the you've seen so far as the movement of the umpire.

I've seen that and I don't like it. I really haven't caught anyone else that does that and -- rebels from the slaves are all -- Not that it's clear were all well why this change is made up I was not that -- lot of times that we impressions a couple of injuries you know we're all aware of those things now up but I've seen him. -- and clearly patent any exposes a game last Thursday night all the team that -- speed optic. Means that -- high volumes are up in about all that pleased last that it not allowed to eat that they'll -- It is -- dictate what you -- up as we with speed and -- an -- because there's real work seconds. Won't -- be -- that umpire places the ball. And runs behind the running back and I think it's gonna work. That like the one that -- that the act -- did you change this week that it put that umpire ep deep behind the deep and -- with five minutes ago. You know each out -- the inhibit -- try to tweak it. They're trying to get it right I think clearly looked -- a they'll always try to do is inspires. And motivates epic game. -- in they'd edit that page iPod and I think that's the game out.

One of the things to do we've seen over the years here and at least -- New England is Wes Welker used the umpire to his advantage do you see how do you think that's gonna affect the wide receivers.

It ought to just think as as I'd I'd use that ought you know -- I have never. Our approach -- different team practices every week about but it seems pretty. I've never ever happen about. I would try to figure out 37 years -- about -- Don't take them that umpires there are used in the blog of that I've never critical state that on the deal. I think it happened in Berkeley some -- but I don't think coaches coach.

I got to ask this question as we watch Monday Night Football and I love the dynamic and I love the chemistry. Is there anybody Jon Gruden doesn't like.

We can't got a positive. -- a lot of but -- at our local. Aren't they is that it at that would do that on that particular upstart who is it it would. We try to we try to give people I would a great game and dissected. We also aware that they wanted to name him well John you know he's just agreed that it worked with we. Each other's company overbilled and keep jockeys but they all week we talked to -- About the that this whoever's the -- well. But so what -- Which -- don't call -- they sit in meetings and that if we talked about stop -- Have been somebody you know in -- and I wouldn't let you know. It would it would thank mr. about it you know McNamee. It like that -- the problem all of it back on. But look upon that worked with.

Are you as excited when the season starts is you sound.

This Monday I don't. -- is scheduled to about it's the jets it's the rape and these new means literally we went back to back we are labor history. Without -- except at the ravens at this game we but the quality. But the jets streak and literally. -- mean that's only talked about what he thought that that game and it's just going to be. What that but I -- You control. -- the -- passes in game all of this up I think. On the game real quiet up on the model wanna model games animals' physical guy wins the were aboard that adept -- up.

People go to FaceBook dot com slash cores like -- find out. How they can help the folks at cores like make a very large donation of meals to second harvest. I it's a great cause and a great spokesman Ron Jaworski it's always fun to talk football with.
