Sean Salisbury from ESPN NFL Live week 5

But anyway John NFL conversation. Which on Salisbury is brought to you by Sprint's. And -- Friday's good morning Sean Salisbury from ESPN how -- you at very well it was well let's back track with a two part question to start off with eight were you surprised by the ease of new England's 3813 win over Cincinnati and part B. Did that. Game say more about who the -- still are or what the bank bills have yet to become.

As far as the first part the I was surprised I'm never surprised that the patriots -- to take apart the Bengals who were. A lot of us felt was the best team in the AFC in do it's mean -- in great fashion yet shocking his listeners to -- games that -- in the way that bears took part -- have you which Nixon left the snow that early in the season. Some some teams aren't as good as we think they aren't. -- six and teams -- as badly -- Brady can still play in belichick didn't forget their coach so yes I was surprised but. -- it did did not shock me that they won because that's typical angles in the way their plants and power football run on the run -- the ball the other side of -- I think teach I think it showed more. Did the patriots can still -- the angles are bad for the that aren't as good as we thick of the bagels are really really good they are that you know you could play ten times and there's no way that patriots got a hammer -- that many times beat him maybe. Not a camera like that so and probably a good thing for the Cincinnati Bengals but -- it was it's also great thing for the patriots as they needed to go on the road Peter Beattie at the time most of us -- Daniels number one of the power ranking in the NFL. And prove that you know once again we still are the doing pictures.

You can't you can answer this by saying it's the NFL you know strange things happened why should we think this week will be any different why should we think that Daunte Culpepper can a handle the pressure of the that prey to its front four brings and be not get confused by the various looks that belichick gives him Monday --

That the Miami yet dolphins have a shot I don't know they got -- line -- We do that there office -- line is pathetic Miami -- The big plays out of the office they don't run the football well. They're -- you know there's no urgency on defense to make plays. And the play calling the suspect I don't know what teams trying to do we really don't what's down there and how you call on two point conversion against the Texans who haven't stopped anybody all year long left handed throwing. Quarter running back mr. reverses field with -- option capacity into the tells me you don't believe your team get into and number two. If you don't know kind of team you going to be so I if if -- patriotism -- the worst loss of the patriots the last couple years if they lose to the Miami Dolphins I had just. Culpepper intimate as he still six months he he he he's four months away at least from -- healthy you watch him he can't move at all. And it's -- 300 wanted to take him down I I've admired Dante. -- just like you know we thought how the world is going to come back so fast there you have come back way. I would I would assume. It's mean to the a look at -- it's human nature for a player after a big win the team you're supposed to beat. To sit -- their -- and those locker rooms where maybe your early on the practice we just got as much intensity is there should be and there's a little bit too much chatter going on. But I also would would hope that if your reviewer you have any clothes a player now and watching games and listening to broadcasts and seek and and look at it. And they capture players mostly -- doing it's in the wings at saint team and then they watch the highlights of sports -- Cincinnati games that. You know our -- they're pretty good right so I would think I know in Chicago hosts radio show I'd I would the Buffalo Bills can beat the Buffalo Bills at the Chicago Bears decide they just want to -- buffalo will win so that I you know. Now that there's there's teams in this together I would imagine get a little I think the Cincinnati Bengals honestly. But at this time there are going to finally manhandled Bryant but two things I don't believe much in people say trapped games if you're any kind of football team at all -- the championship caliber football team. Utility either delegate more port to have respect for the other team may be that it is treating yourself in the in the game because you just have to you gotta find a way at some point to find something on tape that tells you. The Oakland Raiders can actually beat you if you plan them would they camp and I'm not big on moral victories and never have been and I never will be were old boy we played good and men were on the right path the world -- nine that I I don't know I don't buy into that either.

after the game Carson -- was asked what the patriots defense particularly that the -- did to confuse him and he said it was too complicated to explain to the truths -- knuckle heads in the media. Do you understand that the you know what they did I know -- will with a nickel they but they had guys off the street Hank Poteat in -- gotten.

Brown and Troy brown back there and they made him look silly is that when they're at their best when why why I don't know I have mean we also try to figure 90. He take a look at -- away where they probably via a football object would run Mbeki to this -- decent player not a great player maybe we can attack this guy. But they never let you comfortable. Because of I've played against the team that blitzes we have read all eyes I'll eventually get comfortable if I if as a quarterback. You say okay that -- bulletin that as -- and boom okay a ticket few shots that were going to be magnetometer got a couple home runs or a team -- constant zone. Man -- you know could throw one down if it would just be patient up -- six or seven times that I know eventually they're given me all the time to throw. -- they're going to get impatient as the deep -- all hit him down the Miller over the top. But wouldn't do what belichick does which sometimes at four guys at four guys in the three point two guys have a standing nine guys stand. You blitz of one time you judicial probe the coverage once -- We it's really hard to get into rhythm and when you're trying to figure out your own teams do. And then you gotta say okay is this -- actually going to work for that you try to check off the line of scrimmage it's a bad thing so when they're executing but also confusing you can be -- we've seen at the smartest quarterback in this league paid banning. Every doing a patent gets confused against him as does everybody that you an unbelievable job the key is is that sometimes you can confuse yourself and get out of position quarterback cutesy for cheap one and fortunately for the patriots that didn't happen with Carson Palmer last week that they do so many different things in the execute so many different things it's a pretty that they don't need superstars on their beef accounts.

Shot as Doug Gabriel the patriot wide receiver warmed to the task of getting comparable Tom Brady Tom tells us every Monday in fact last Monday as well. That the knowing the patriot passing offense is much more complicated than most what would be required in your estimation of -- wide receivers that wouldn't be in a more Vanilla passing game.

There have been more acquired in the patriot yet he says it will obligated all -- about it honestly guys new to the system is it harder than most motives -- because you know Charlie brought to that thing in the and they are doing a lot of saying things obviously at notre dame. Cool well when you're talk about it just as they may have to three adjustments on one route they also mean a lot of different formations we've seen that. You know and his team and more verbiage in the in the normal game I know teams double rights cannot write Dutch and and that's it ended on an effort to call play there's also oppose it. After call everything formation numbers so everybody gets told what to do with the way when your office is complicated just and they also -- they also go. In other play in the gone on on second down and and one. They'll we'll get under -- on for a second third down and seven and I mean they do so many different things in it is the thing that eliminates players mostly either eliminate -- camp or. Leaves them on the bench is there inability to understand mentally -- trying to do it's simple. You can't miss society justice a wide receivers in -- up. -- you have to count bodies on your side executing F five we only -- four block and that's why powered -- receive a young receiver contaminant whether it's the patriots very well -- I would tell them look simple don't just learn what you when the other receivers do. You gotta know what the blitz protection with the right -- doesn't tell you why. Because if you block and before Bloch and four girls and four block of five and one guy jumps out another guy comes in is the guards balls to get the other guy if the receiver understands that. He would be so much easier for him to run -- it's in and relax and play it is opposed to apply when you Michael on the street as they run down the car and run a -- there's no adjustment on the up to -- rundown of the -- girl but. If pricing out the car if that one of the guys stand over there what you -- the fourth on the right come back to have looked third -- left. By the time going to go the route -- on. Which which thing man and man and I know it sounds crazy but it's true I there's some people who cannot mentally keep up and with this office they're constantly on the attack mode. You better keep up not decided jester or Tom election know about it -- will belichick and the rest of the staff and that's what's made them so specialty pet smart people as we know guys wouldn't want their prerequisites when they draft they want smart football players because justice complicated it is it is on offense. It's -- complicated on defense.

In Arizona on Sunday when Matt lighted strap them on for the first time in -- real NFL game will will it be glow like a million miles on a minute in his mind.

Yeah -- at times in the game he will especially early 50 electors 15 or 16 players out there yet on the other team and the Q you you know -- Tennessee hyper kennelly I can remember my first start against the rams when I've planted at one point 534 but. You know there's there's a fall in there or you're gonna use at their drop back to pass statement that the that if this doesn't look exactly like I saw. Who will we -- we will be -- and the truth is about to watch film and also -- it was moved to yards to his right you start to panic you know I mean there's that. There's that inability to did you discuss settle -- after awhile he'll settle -- if you completions expect any like any is always so this quarterbacks to give him a few quick completions early to allow things to start to get smooth. And in its focus will be not just not just on when in this week. But they -- sure that that latter comes out and try to get him go four for 46 -- fixed and then all of a sudden. They start slowdown but it's going to look awful fast it's going to look awful complicated in that matter how smart chart how Vanilla the other team is Agassi in the initially on you're going to feel like you're you're going to feel like you're playing against more than the a lot of 11 guys on defense but I love that part of it because young quarterbacks I want to find out as the coach if I was coach -- put them on the road playing against Baltimore Ravens adult. A -- want to know. 'cause -- built this thing down the road this is my future -- want to know peace I'll judge a quarterback you can judge Tom Brady. Anyone Thompson was -- if he's struggling. And things are go will you wouldn't judge Tom Brady when it's when it's ball Boston time guys and you'll find a way to get it done that's a judge in my any of us can play when -- by five touchdowns I want to see my quarterback of the future my star for the -- going to lead my team when he's getting the crap knocked out of him for three quarters. But we're still in the game then -- response and I would in no in -- I think he's probably hope that happens and then in the end Matt liner gets on her on a roll they pull -- game out I I'm sure that what he's thinking about but it's not going to be.

A -- on like a lot of -- like Vince young he's got some pretty good targets that the road to all day when in doubt. Dad I got a real good idea when in doubt if you if you drop -- after the massacre yet to drop back you're clueless and you don't have any idea what the coverages and he wondered who my source of the hot there when it. Brought over towards number 11 -- 11 and you got a chance authority towards any one you've gotta you've got a decent shot to make a play.

Your that's a very interesting analysis of young quarterbacks about old ones Drew Bledsoe for instance on in the Philadelphia he's already saying I got to resist the attempt to patient to force it. In two TO because thickened. You actually have to do that when -- you're getting caught up in this -- and you -- I gotta get a TO don't match in the -- the -- had matured it was going to yell back to -- opponent the open guy yet energetic Bledsoe will struggle in the sentence.

Fear I think that you'll struggle at times because there's another thing or -- an attitude Jim Johnson the coordinator for Philadelphia. He will he he'd like of a shark in blood guys when he sees. When when quarterback that doesn't move very well that you watched it is they're going to blitz and pressure and pressure because the last thing Bledsoe lasting you elect Bledsoe do says his feet. And so he's going to blitz and you'll see a lot of -- inside at Drew Bledsoe legs trying. Not to allow him to step in to try to force him horizontal right -- left. And make him do that. But drew yet little bit surprising because you go to a game like this -- let the natural flow of the game -- WTO but the last that you want to -- Is mentally lock in as a veteran or young guy NC okay TO is back this is not about Terrell -- it's about the truth the matter is these things are going really really really well for the cowboys. If you won't be -- it's -- taken over the game it'll be somebody else because of all the attention and coverage and guys trying to knock TO out and if he does take over. You -- got to let it be in the natural course of the game film curl -- let him break a tackle go get a first down. But few if -- if he starts to force it you'll CA Brett Farr of Drew Bledsoe. Game when they're not playing well they throw for an asset gathering it'll be that -- today we've saved -- got to do it.

We've seen that before -- say and share on room. I know Oakland is not for stubbornly they're not penetrate Jerry porter so it seems on haven't yet imported -- active so I guess we should assume that they will not move any job Randy moss before the October 17 deadline.

You know what I'm sure that tribal what -- going to get now Annapolis road map guys I mean you can me is is there any more pathetic franchise on the planet and it's not just from -- from top to bottom coaches don't know what they're doing right now it got to that they've been mean to Tom Walsh and fortunately that'll football I don't know what they're trying to do 213 lead over Cleveland who goes across the country after a physical game -- Baltimore Ravens the Raiders had a bye we can they still can't win re your captain. How in the hell anybody elected him characters found on a layer compare Tedy Bruschi to Randy moss now Tom Brady -- and you tell me -- to be the captain when -- when the captain wants to be the first to jump off the ship. Something wrong with that picture guys they're pathetic. There's didn't go pick the worst friend New York Knicks -- the Raiders got a better chance to use the Knicks to go when a football game in the Knicks got a better chance to put the Raiders on the basketball court in anything I've ever seen their their horrible and I've never. I take me back to expansive franchises I've never seen -- Tampa bay that never ever seen -- football player never and it's embarrassing and not only that at least those teams -- teams were like about to walk -- trying to get a scholarship trying to track this is about guys that are Maldives who cares about this I don't care -- nobody else cares why should -- Well that's a good way to go into a game of beach that that team right now are they gonna win a game so try to trade Randy moss and guys two years ago you're picking a fantasy receiver. You do it three years ago there's no question who have been the first choice now I don't think -- lost one of the ten best receiver seasonally out of that easy to close a matter of fact if things go well he made I'd be the best receiver on his team.

John but a question for me we've talked about rookie quarterbacks we've talked about veteran quarterbacks the national question about it backup quarterback and this is something we've asked everybody we can't seem to get an answer as to why. Bill belichick in a game is well into and it would not put Matt -- and just take a couple alive steps just hand off but only to protect -- on -- road Bob bunch -- guys would be good for Matt -- down the road god forbid he asked to play in real game ticket all I don't know. A series or two at the end of the -- C guy can't -- the --

Now he probably knows the -- better than what was your arms or -- you know there is no harm here's the deal with that is. Whatever one just go back a couple stamps at the end of the game obviously. Are not going to you know series is not going to help much -- Matt -- when -- up by 3030 points in your hand the ball off at the screen but it's still playing in -- far better to stay on the sides couldn't agree more with you but if you take a look around guys. And -- forced to and we never -- of -- the pretty difficult commute by 35 Tony -- Utah -- do the same thing we knew we just patent papers that is that well the receiver Carl -- who got withers -- the stats or not. I know it's it's not just bill but I don't get ice on the xsilence about three games last sickness and why is this guy in it was -- McNabb who candies and other yeah it takes different. And the McNabb took that big shot guess what Garcia was in next I mean. -- the into the game and got hit pretty good and god forbid you'll definitely get there aren't ready to Don McNabb goes down a -- got a shot -- a set their watches he dropped by three Texans I know teams have made comebacks but come on now. Is leading groups of four minutes ago five missile get the other guy in Westbrook out yet. Donovan McNabb about yet Manning out yet Brady -- there's no question because you know Toms Toms not a 100% healthy as we all know there's a reason -- guys coming -- it we know that. And but -- a battle RB you know it takes one shot in three games if your back can at least hold down a little bit yeah that was shot and you guys said here look at me you can't name. Six teams in this league if their back -- goes down with the starter goes down that you got a legitimate shot right back at camp named Yugo had gone down Melissa you'll see not known though -- one of them in new England's not one of them will go to reason why we don't know. We don't know enough about -- Kathleen announcement that would -- in there yeah they had a chance that they acted in good player they wouldn't have more on the roster but you know what -- can't if if if sorts can't when he teams in the examples of that team you can back angle up and down or in any case it is Green -- to here's a guy that you tracked -- maybe is last year and it took for them to be so far out of that -- to be hurting at the end where you you know people wondered if he's going to play this week. For them to give Mary Rogers a series. -- Salzburg as always fun talk of the bulletin on Friday talking next week so it congrats guys to team and then amazingly enough I think the patriots are still alive -- are alive and -- a shocker all right -- Albert ESPN was now.
