Digits Monday Eric freedom Bob -- in for Dennis and Callahan -- to Perot is here as well. Check out the AT&T -- and find out what's possible with the nation's fastest mobile broadband network AT&T. Rethink possible. A couple of text jumping I want to have one wants to know that they pass up Antoine Walker courtside seats the other night so we want an -- -- -- I -- -- make it six threes are. Sixth race. And one wiggle. And one way home and no wiggle was -- sixth and final three it would -- up by seven peak of the game for them if -- -- down fifteenth and was -- the best -- gutless -- okay. We're gonna punish you because that went on -- and took him back and I've opened overtime. -- Antoinette was again never but I'm Natalie is definitely an old -- and one way to is -- wiggle slower these days at a at an age thirty -- when I was listening to an arthritic paranoia that but it wasn't waigel and and and he at least restrain himself though he couldn't you know he geek he thought that was the dagger. Basket of the game that we and its meaning have to go it's just recruitment by seven. These irrepressible. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- standing there standing looking for. Something that you know looking for the -- why should I do and an outfit the clock is just now the second two just line away I I couldn't I -- but it might. Just for the record here if you're just joining us Bob Bryan was at Foxboro last night. Did not go home to a couple of -- sleep went home achieved. Got an early morning breakfast at three article twelve bytes that that was what you're shaving -- what I wanna wanna you know wanna be on. -- and -- -- And this was not spontaneous this is you're for Hydro sided like us and not your first road some day this week that this is the only seen course of action given the how late did you do get out of Foxboro we -- deliciously park casting to what ethnic couch I wouldn't isn't it was an option which I did consider. But no and I said but then -- -- I've done my expenses that's right that's. And I got everything done and now you're rated talk with patriots quarterback Tom Brady are you're not coffee with quarterback has brought you by Dunkin' Donuts. And Tom joins us on the AT&T hot line AT&T. Rethink possible good morning Tom. More morning Tom looks let's start with. How the game ended in your eyes and in -- and a sideline in your warm enough like maybe you're gonna get a chance here in every time you probably look at the clock. Few more seconds go off and it turns out you didn't need to get out there and try to while legion team back. -- you know we have an opportunity here in you offensively. To put the game away. And didn't do much with the there in the fourth quarter and empire has backed. Back to those guys and and what's our defense. You know really played great series -- says. To feel the game they. You know those those plays they came up with -- seems like they've been doing that all year. So it was it was a great. It was a great way and the game. From their standpoint that's certainly wish we could've done a better job. You know on our on our -- -- on -- in the sixth. Tom is there ever a time. That as a quarterback not to you but anyone you've ever talked it doesn't wanna go for a fourth and one group of fourth and goal from the one. At that I know you owe it what are you can you level in the coach. I have confidence -- you of those forced out situations. So. You know you always feel like you could make it yards in the code that's -- -- that's by their coaches is is they make those decisions and we as players we live with. And it's just kind of one of those things. You know when you when you lose the game you -- go back but then maybe we should Laporte report found that. You know they they put the very beginning like as I thought state. We're we're very good football team in and they played like it last night. Tom at the time you thinking thank you very much so that. It should go back got there with a more point 3% to seven. Yes hey you know I think they. -- which they got the ball I think on the one and a half but with. With first and goal of art and art these -- is very good in those situations what. That's a big stout defense that we have it's hard to run the ball in and as they took refuge. In in business and couldn't get him in our defense really made the plays so I think that discourages you. As as an offense to win and other times were we. Where we were on offense will play against you know it runs up and these fences with the you know what we're if we're gonna punt on fourth and one of the we're gonna -- civil -- one. Did it seem like. You and the offense never had a chance to get into a real rhythm I mean right from the very start your that you're gonna field in Green Bay has the onside kick. You end up running 44 plays and had nine possessions of me that's ridiculously low numbers. When you look back at an NFL game. Yet. Those are low numbers in the and you know part of that is just. Kind of possessions that we had another part of it is we didn't do very good -- stay home field. -- It's you know it's one thing. Two. -- game like that yes today. You know few. We've we've we've got a patent position we've lost the field position. You know like for example -- drive by where did -- made the incredible run that counts of possession who gets what regardless. Of the Americans have. Much kind of position when usable for Yeremiah Bell take that. The rest for the feel of -- if you want them. Here is you're never gonna give that back I mean you'll always have a memory of Dan Connolly. -- 71 yards I mean. I don't know what stands out as blazing speed or the ball security I mean what what do you take out of I don't even know if you went back to watch the tape and see you -- the football with a nose up. I -- -- well that's what you get and hold the ball very often. Though when he. You know you. You know it's it's public it's going to be in the book the way that BenJarvus scared it's so he told it however he can get those picking up around the that was pretty funny when I saw. Sort of run and on the field that was the -- on never forget that. -- clearly they. They've assumed debt and linemen catches the ball and will fall down to fit in on him not to cause any harm that was team. And and that that will you shocked to see him actually trying to progress -- on the field. Sure you know my first I you know always stated -- down. Let me get out and let the professionals and analysts -- because the way they do carried the ball in any. Like contact about the ball has seen that a bunch. Over the course in my -- and take a -- guy who doesn't handle it very often. And it's -- of those guys that are really know what to do with that it. You know did he picked it up but what -- some great to be outside and they go oh yeah and -- got a great block by. I think as I've I think he's got a great book by Sergio yes and that was -- -- I was so Condit. But maybe -- is running so slowly that he had time the thinking what now I can cut it back towards the middle little -- I mean now he's C -- kind of feeling. The little overconfident. Here after about forty yards. Yeah. Set and I think that's. I think that's that's part of that would see what he breaks so you know he's. You know he thinks may have maybe exodus from would have led the team after the game he's like man I wish -- escort. Good to have little move forward go to -- think a few words -- that this. Vote -- -- -- Try to promote the peace that idea that this is what you. Did so. So is he doing all right after the game time because we know we left. Pretty good as he didn't play in the second -- -- doing no carrier at least people to joke around them a little bit about the big run back. -- you know you used to have better so. You know assist. But. You know. He's using -- well. Talking to discuss with -- likely to have these two young tight ends to throw to this year. You know they've they've really been since training camp we know we knew that these two guys were. You know very capable and I think they put such a rule throughout the entire. Course of defeat and that have a -- now what kind of experience. -- as well so. But there are rookies anymore they played we played in eighteen games. Including the preceded this point so. You know we've we've reliable had a lot to make and make important place for -- and seems like every week you know both of them. They're huge part of the offense. Can't innovate in the place. Though. Left right air really. -- -- -- two touchdown catches thinking like that hit that was that was huge we needed it and no we're gonna continue to needed down the stretch. Tom figure Aaron early in the season start off -- with that brief period he dropped couple and it did. Was did you talk did today they have to talk to him that he just the boost him up -- what would happen because it's obvious he's come back and it looks the same as he did earlier this season. Well you know I think he's. Any athlete you know you go to the ups and downs but for the young players. -- in other things where you play great -- game where you wish you played better and that goes for me as well so I don't think it's. It's a long season and and the Erin has really. Consistently. Out there. That what we're asking them to do and there was. Last night you know we have a lot of confidence in what he's they would do threats and that's why he's out there. So. You know it's subnet you build -- we have -- good gains as. I would ask police suspicions geographically -- Hopefully those used in use those visibly. -- -- The few big balances. And hopefully into you know on this Disco week. And what did you see on that fourth quarter touchdown Hernandez is obviously you guys had a little communication you saw something that the Packers were doing and change something at the line. Yeah maybe we you know we we had some quote kind of rush to line of scrimmage -- we have some call them and they were pretty good defense to stop. So. Now our parent would sit there and move -- now and just wanted to get have a chance -- On the on on on 37. And he really great road -- and -- And I threw the ball and it up break that tackle which would that help place. You know to catch it to -- rookie tight knit together inaudible to move out to run rubble of a quarter. Make the catch breaks tackles were -- that that was. Help. Really helpfully. Labeling him. I don't know what role Alge Crumpler has it may be tutoring these young tight ends but I. You find yourself watching him during games and Arnold it's these national games that they have better microphone for more microphones but you here. The force of some Crumpler is blocks now we know he's not the receiver that gronkowski. And Hernandez have turned out to be for you this year but what have you seen with Crumpler as far as. Maybe tutoring those young guys or being such a positive impact in ways that we don't necessarily see is fans during the course of the game. Well I think he's everything that you look at -- in -- in the sector tight end he's. He can catch the ball that that the C he just doesn't get a lot of opportunities because of at least two younger players as well as. And lessen the -- it would -- -- and he can do some things in the past came as well so. What is run blocking is as good as anybody I've ever seen at the end Graham played here for a long term with a hell of a run blocker. And and we got out you know out he was. We felt we really got a -- He's held a blocker. In between captain. And he's just he's he's he's he's everything will report. Tom has loads go how does BJ -- great. He's a big man dead and recovered it out with -- the or -- right. -- -- -- He just knowing that I'd be talking about us and obviously younger positive about best of my bad I'm glad you're the wanted to deal with the minister you know about it and us. Yeah he was he was cover posting aside. The you know you start trying to get away from but I think what because they had been at state. In the big red and and -- we're gonna go away. Overall Tom how would you rate the team's performance yesterday. Everybody looks. At that game going in from outside of the the player's perspective on short lawyers you know Green -- -- they don't have Aaron Rodgers. This should be an easy game for the patriots because of what you guys were able to do the previous two weeks and have what looked to be. Easy wins but how would you assess overall your team's performance yesterday in a win against -- Let's say anything. Note that these games are hard to win it anyway you annually is -- at -- -- There's there's there are played very well -- from opening kickoff I knew -- -- apparently this is going to be one of those games where it's -- ago. And you know they make those plays they get turnovers they're. Could go -- told us before the game when they win the field position battle over a no. When they -- it there won't five. Going to regain well I'm sure we lost the field position battle at night. And we overcame a bunch of penalties and I don't think that. You know we played our best game certainly. But also very prospect that we want McCain so even with overcoming. Penalties and opening kickoff and I've been on the field for 45 plays or whatever what in this still win and that's obviously proud of but we understand it. You know that's that's about the recipe for first successful here so we've got to play much better game this week in buffalo. You know I think we better go and have a -- we practice that's that's where it starts and that's what we have to do. I'm sure you know what went on in the meadowlands just today -- that incredible ending they can you imagine. Losing the game in that fashion. Yeah I -- I was just -- -- drive down for the game last night in the didn't that there is what to do that I wanna leave. And they have been added it's going in and you know force that would have four touchdowns in the fourth -- yeah. And Lenovo believable and so on characteristic of the giants but Eagles are on a roll to. And they've got a great team they agree. You know got a great offense will play makers scope this and Michael vick's play and hopefully it will be great defense so. You know these these game you never know other -- ago they're 3110. As the giants and then before they. For their offense puts the ball in the 31 point four. That was the that's that's stuff. And got a secret Eagles. This time a year Tom do you do a little scoreboard watching her try to keep on top of what's happening for example Indianapolis and Jacksonville big game yesterday and and the colts. Keep their playoff hopes very much like the jets go to Pittsburgh after stumbling for a couple weeks and their couple win. Are you kinda keeping tabs on everything or is it a point right now what you're seeing -- you're just so focused on taking care of what you have to do. In order gets ready for the playoffs. Well you know you're always watching the other -- yours yours. And -- pitcher ever you know there -- teams are doing throughout the AFC. And you know yes they are different -- Quite a few big gains and going on. So. I would definitely watch in. That red zone -- pretty cool but. That's amazing that you don't have to turn -- and I watch it for the first time last week. -- two weeks ago. As two weeks -- two weeks ago before the in the game and well I think incredible site says I was just watch and -- in the game and local of these analysts. Bill what can you guys expect from Bill Belichick did he certainly cited. And that he had a long checklist of things to discuss is when he spoke with -- us after the game. Well you know he he when he talks to us as a -- -- it's unique stamp apparently because these are things we need to do win. And that's what are we need to play the game. And and we don't do any of those things. You know he gets pretty disappointed and I understand that and he's got -- he's. -- good grasp of power offense -- defense or special teams already predicting. And as well as well. Our level excuse me and and you -- -- on that and and I hope the players in the I think that's. -- position that came up this that we put ourselves and it and you know we we fought for sixty minutes we needed to and it's certainly welcome our best game. And and we are gonna hear about it you know I think he's also proud of the fact that we're. That. We got our twelfth when -- today because. You know -- right here for a long however not all of 453 victories either and you know that they and their team that we played. -- talked about big played Dan Connolly and if that's not his nickname today I don't know why you know you guys get a couple percent to better than that but how about some of the play by some of the young guys on defense I'm thinking of on the stop by Patrick Jong in the fourth quarter Kyle ericsson's interception and a great return for a touchdown and the fact that -- according probably not a 100% is out there an answering the -- mean that. These guys kind of sum up and you talked about the big plays made by defense when there are needed but. The place specifically by those guys yesterday the first two Chung and Arrington. Mean what he tells about how those guys have contributed to the team last night and over the course of the season. Well I'm inert but that you're right there's quite a few young players on the scene and when those guys get an opportunity to play as they have over the course of you know this entire season -- an important action you grow up pretty quick and haven't got a patent second here -- really -- what he's the the kind of -- he's gonna have. Powers and is. -- really been huge. In addition to our team. Is quite a few. Young -- being Fletcher -- which at first it was last year on the patriots so. That's what that's what this team has always been built on is guys stepped -- to do their job and play their role. And be a part of the team and put themselves. Put thirteen goals than their own personal goals that's that's being a patriot and come into play here that's that's what it's all about and you know we've got to we've got a bunch of guys who really fit that bill. And that we're trying to find more of those world world trying to play more of those. Let's say it's been it's been -- -- here it's been a fun team. It's been it's been a those teams that -- really great attitude or your you know go out there with practice slower. And most the time the show's opening game but. In -- good position if this week at Buffalo's. Is if you -- for -- that this could really this can really help. A lot of things -- -- -- -- And -- -- wouldn't get too. Feature -- in a conference if you get hired by the red zone to be their pitchman bottle and I was a pretty good testimonial right there we that we only want 10%. To accept. Ready to try to get that it -- record to stumble across it is just came to me is like hey there's some money to be made there. Time now for the QB question -- -- -- by Irving oil this year give a gift bill really like you use in the question Tom comes from Sandra from two experience she wants to know what is your favorite Christmas.
