Patriots Tedy Bruschi

you know are patriots Monday regulars Richard Seymour Rodney Harrison and this guy. Ten tackles fumble recovery another day at the office Tedy Bruschi is with -- to say good morning how are you doing all right well sort of of the OK good to see this week. With each other yet nice car are you -- it happens sometimes what you serve up an all litigation that they just give you guys fits every year.

I think it's just that how how well we know each other you know and I think that's what both teams expect so maybe that comes into play to where. If if the teams getting a lead they sort of think you know wait -- second this policy close gave may be -- Natalie we believe every time we played the dolphins and and other players we know I mean especially players on the defense our defense respects their defense we know it's going to be a close game.

You know racial -- graphic -- during yesterday's game obviously didn't see it. While back 2003 guys had 29 interceptions they were -- all four went on the 20 last year very low and then come into yesterday's game I think was wanted to are you guys aware of stats like that and why do you think it's such -- drop off from 2003. And now --

With no why there was drop but I do note we are aware. We -- where it would receptionist it's basically turn over so you know the last few weeks we we wanted to focus on turnovers and that we know we're struggling and I think the first few weeks we're we're last in the league and forcing turnovers and -- me besides the scoreboard in the final number of points is the most important Stat in football how many -- it would take away the ball from the opposing offense again continued in and give it to your offense in good field position so we are aware of it whether -- been in decline. -- because that we do have is active in the history of sept involved myself Rodney shares in the 70s and yet to yesterday but he notes on that we're aware of and were consciously trying to improve on.

wondered you know on on one of the interceptions yesterday -- Joey Harrington was next few but -- and knocked him out or something on on assigned days return you guys. I -- of course you always want to get turnovers you guys actually -- practice time on occasion interception happens this is what you're supposed to do when interception.

Well actually we actually have in the perceptions were that we use sometimes for months and I think the progression is worth the north the -- intercepted number one block intended receiver. We'll put the ball supposed to go to number two we try to get a convoy to to lead the runner to decide line. And three -- of the quarterbacks blocked by the defensive -- so there has progression and we -- though -- there are certain responsibilities that you have to account for -- say if I was house next what's right next was something when he got the recession -- well gravelly mixture workers blocked because he's probably won the first guys to know that it's going to be sent its interest in block him first in -- lines. How much -- defensive game plan or preparation affected by who the quarterback he has it can be very much but I think with the way that it happened this week that we -- Harrington was going to start til -- later in the week in and just -- Sunday morn we didn't -- it was still up in the year two because I mean. And to its suit -- belichick I mean you can't trust what's. -- I was hurt who was not hurt you know you don't know so. You know we sort of we sort of know how how close to the best we -- around here so we -- you know that he's the same way so it could've been either -- so it didn't really affect our game plan because we just figured you know whoever it was going to be we we -- we -- where where veteran of group we can make adjustments on the fly so there was nothing it was either added or deleted from the defensive game plan based on the fact that -- was plan. Who wants you -- was playing it was more okay as the game goes on let's let's be ready to make silent adjustments if the game plan. If if -- game -- changed dramatically.

How does it work in practice -- when you have there's some questions questions about the quarterback okay this is Daunte Culpepper -- dial. And -- Harrigan -- you have to separate scout team scout team quarterback studios got the quarterbacks in appear right now Culpepper and the guy that's a little actors chains like al Pacino as an art I right now I'm join hands.

Optional if we had an extremely Mobile quarterbacks -- maybe like Michael you know -- in coming here to play maybe we'll throw a receiver or defensive back for for a few series at quarterback -- so he can just it was a realistic -- vote of the athletic ability of certain quarterback but you know quarterback like Carson Palmer last week Madcast it was perfect. You know he was perfect because promise these sort of the same size and he knows he knows Palmer real well in the it was agreed. And in the mean does -- do anything different you know -- counsel when he's practicing this maccast -- last week for example when he was Carson what was he doing it really helped you guys. Prepare for -- to me he was being himself. It was being himself because Palmer liner castle and meanwhile the other the other Paula -- got two number ones in the gasoline they're from this their product of the same system you know. Cast talk guy out those guys talk guys and you know sort of the same -- so don't really just had to be himself last week in terms of the weeks and -- these different things when he's been Carson -- mean I'm sure -- love the opportunity.

Most of the day yesterday your defense kept the dolphins pretty much in check they have 180 yard drive. When that happens is it just a series of little things that turns three and out into an 80 yard drive or is -- something that they did differently all of a sudden that drive that made it harder for you guys to -- to react

you know I think. That's where you just say very good football players are so he -- No Harrington can't make the throws a mean character did -- mistakes and throws some interceptions but there are times when he has he has a very capable quarterback in that's what drive where you say to yourself. That we have any mental breakdowns from the silent agreement to breakdowns -- us that we can fix with their run that we have a problem recognizing. Yes -- no. If if not I mean he's got to say they made the throws immediately catches the -- this keep making them earn it. And make sure there's -- be pleased.

And there wasn't any of these particular and that drive when you guys went back to the sideline there wasn't anything reset a -- did this differently they did that different

I think on that drive what -- a big difference that that they were doing yesterday that. From what we have seen on film -- was how quickly they're getting rid of the ball and I think that's that's a difference between Culpepper and Harrington Culpepper I think. Getting used to coming back from his injury and get used to a new office I don't know but -- would hold on to the bar a little bit longer than Harrington would yesterday and -- was -- great job getting rid of -- and get the pressure on him and was able to get the bones was she was hands. Pretty quickly.

You know when you spend enough time -- somebody enough time aroused when you can anticipate what they're going to say we're competitive like this guy next to me you know I know he's going to say he's entitled to voice has -- You're like that with you know Rodney -- for Abel Seymour. How's it what that hit yesterday do you anticipate when brown he's going to you don't knock the ball. Away from somebody because you were right there when he when he knocked out yeah Ronnie brown you're right they're possibly is that something that you visualize -- actually --

On that instance yesterday it was news it was where I was on the ground and look to look to my left in a dishonorable I didn't really see -- company -- that you are right about being familiar with settlement in -- the reputation of -- he -- how -- how a lot of -- he comes -- big hit but where -- It's always around the all area always around -- lot of -- in the early -- came high heat which takes some kids are often the is his checkbook heard her little bit from an. But now he's he's he's. I've noticed where a lot of time to come in trying to get them all out and then -- his technique -- he's going to try and hit them with a player a little bit lower on the ball and and I can anticipate that when -- comes out but yes there is there's familiarity where that comes him. There's no such thing as a.

by a week. But when the T -- it's really there goes to bed by we well. I adjustment in terms or -- through the break into your body your your body all -- but but when teams got a little role Golan is is it almost almost like you know would rather just kind of keep playing in here.

Not that this week. I don't feel that eyewitness okay yeah but I think it's well time I think. We come back you know two weeks to play buffalo and a lot of guys that are banned -- will come back and it'll be good timing. It's nice to have you -- we -- You feel good about yourself -- things that you know that you worked on the previous week dad that that you that you were able to accomplish you know and so you want to keep on building on that you're instead of losing game not being able to excuse to what you wanted and -- to fix things that you thought you had accelerating. So it's it's sort of mental state that you know you think. Things are going well now and each outages build and build it the same time your body gets a little bit that -- stronger a bit healthier and rested I understand Richard it'll negotiating a captain's meeting last week. About the by -- yeah well. Bills bills more reasonable -- a lot of people think you know he's the guy that analysts and our suggestions and sometimes it's it's it is right now much talked about and and other times it's you know jealousy you know considerate and -- we was -- a bit by Richard about possibly you know maybe if we put -- good performance against Miami could consider to reconsider me begin with an extra -- you know reasonable and that he has. Ahead -- that he think about it so we we went out there and beat the dolphins and after before before we broke up after the game the game was like to know certain finesse teens don't want to play sand box spam box yet. But I think this Airbus have little too much sand and it right now do you agree anyway what's the problem with the the all of the stack sand box that's -- that's that I affectionately college you know is my home field home -- and I still love playing on -- and -- for the fans but it's of the Senate as you can tell me you see guys trying to run out there especially when. -- especially noticed that on the kickoff team when -- trying to -- companies to detoured to the ball at the five five who are middle coverage guys their -- on the -- the entire way down. And there are sort struggling just gets grip and get to speed so. It's it's just a little bit of problem right now you know and you know it can be an advantage can be a disadvantage may be running brown tries to make a cut on me that he sort of slips them it would wrap them a little bit more. And medium trying to cover my -- in -- when he gets away from so you know you take the good with the bad but. It's it's still my home field and you know plan.

I was wondering about if you're some 360 pound nose guard. You probably don't mind the sandbox if -- 245 pound linebacker who relies on quickness and speed it affects your game.

You know those those D linemen really those do you but also you know two hours of talk -- You know in the -- off the -- and that's that -- it's easy to snap count he get off on the -- it would give them good move on -- on the offensive -- in Vegas act which -- which is what they -- to -- so. You gotta make the most of it you know I talked to -- brochure about the equipment guys about correctly so we -- you know how to get something like that there's okay with a five Lee's cleats will belong you know -- to deal with that way. You mentioned West broker earlier what are some of the challenges of and he's pretty -- is he is he's. He's one of those guys that came in the league it's like who is this -- you know -- he knows it is hustle money works hard but he sees. He's developed a role for himself not only in the in in for the Miami Dolphins and around the league he's recognized as. As as a great return man you know punting -- in a guy that can work in the slot and you know step in Korea united in and perform admirably when someone goes down like Booker did he came in walker had -- at ten catches something like that. It is great job foreman. He's the guy that he's he's he's got -- you don't come in you know not a first round picking in -- with -- respect to -- he's -- that's earned his respect throughout the years in and as -- guy that we really respected watching on film this week and we thought it was a it was a viable threat for us.

Look at that two weeks from now when you go back to work. Do you do you start over I mean do you take this opportunity go by we just start from scratch or is it let's build on the things that we've gotten to this.

Point well I think now that's coaching decision what we will we work on this week I think will will pick some things fundamentally fundamentally that we need to improve upon. And still you know. Pick a couple of things that we feel we should be further upon now that would that would not maybe -- this week so our coaches -- communicated to us but when we come back you know next week to prepare for buffalo. I think it's going to be -- you know just buffalo what we have to do to stop him you know be focused on him as a team -- planning on him in the game are points the only -- you care about beauty and what ports are released today you know the the Stat I really. Focus on is that turn over statistic but it's sort of like law allies like I -- you quoted as saying you know what matters is how many points we -- we -- yeah yeah that's me. That's the bottom line -- you know -- in the bottom line in relief because you could give up you know we'd done it before giving up over 300 yards of total offense and you know. One to turn over battle but still you know there's there's still only may be you know 13 points on the board you know and go ahead and drive all the way when yard line and we've had four when he -- Golan stance and forced turnovers on the goal line to so you can be passed and you can be ready yards. Look up those that statistic that in light and that's really what means the most to us an ounce on the coaches in the bye week on self scouting Woody unity in about a week since the -- week is that of course is -- that he would you know of course a few bumps and bruises the guys to want to get some rest on him or anywhere would be around here and you know of the family you definitely maybe do if you drop off of Peco -- executed -- a couple times and get to see ornaments and soccer games and so be very exciting to me how the soccer field very producer.

They can't -- down a bit vulnerable good to have actually.

Not a thing about it. Go to distant dad I've got to know us.

Great to see again congratulations on the -- enjoy the violent experiments Tedy Bruschi joining us here on sports radio W media
