Yeah and and you get to a point. Now where I can actually look at the play in Canada -- joke about with my buddies and you -- walked up to leave it dead. -- retirees -- that you -- all the -- from. But that you'll. You know it at at first are kind of like garbage -- I would I would have nightmares and I would actually carry the burden of out of place the blame myself. And really -- about disappointed battling my teammates but the organization has so many fans across the country because we work so hard to get to point at sixteen you know and I had been up finally started the last and it's not just one play. To change the quarterback game and even within that drive these big bird like a long third down and nine. And and of course they had the war the going to cut down so. It's now one person you can blame but me. In a competitive person I know I estimate that was put some content like you just can't you can't you don't control things that happen.

Rodney Harrison with them but are -- obviously talking about what happened here a few years ago and he's right. He's absolutely right first on it wasn't his man David Tyree went and his man. The coverage called for a Sante Samuel would be there Samuel with three styling Harrison. Where where. Samuels supposed to be open look great play by David Tyree that's one of the plays and the play people forget about the was third nine or eleven Steve Smith. Way too easy first now. On that drive picked it up. And then another play your first round pick the party started boat rammed in. Had a -- not it would have been an acrobatic catch for defensive back. But it over the shoulder. Over the shoulder interception. Well asserting that he's not they had run out without visual -- as he went to which he had the easy one. And Meriweather had one degree -- call about a half but it. He could had it so I mean there are tons of plays that game is that we clearly understand why they doing it. They're focusing in on the Super Bowl in which the giants -- the perfect season. -- is gonna be brought up over and over and over again for the next ten or eleven days. Which replace any part of that Super Bowl week from from some place some parts psychologically. -- ethics and the guys. On both sides are still affected by whether it's fifteen giants -- seven. Patriots are effective pride and somewhere they'll -- it if if if Bill Belichick says. There is no -- there's no thought in my mind about 2007. As aperture. Of course. Could you not think about. You know war one drive away from being on the defeated. He didn't get it.

Mine. Aren't CI to think about it I I think you're gonna have as much of an effective players who have never been to the Super Bowl before. And lack of experience lack of understanding what the whole week it means what the game itself greens -- the timing and everything else. Is so much different than what you get. With a normal game. Long halftime the long delays before the game it's a much different game right longer twelve hours longer time over there in the commercial right. So I think you get more of that. Then because there are some of the guys that didn't. Play -- before. Plus these teams are different they have changed. I know people just wanna focus in on that game and they wanna say the four down linemen that's exactly what the giants can do against the patriots could go back to the game. That didn't necessarily happen in the game they played earlier this season. Sent a big factor and.

Let I agree that in the game plans will be different personnel is different. The 22 guys. Who played in that 2007 game technically 2008. February 2008. They won't they wool has some reference point you'll go back to that game -- the bracket what is what many what -- into the broadcasters are talking about guys who played in the game. Whether it's -- human Europe going back and yes I remember what it was like. On Super Bowl Sunday I remember what it was like to win I remember what we did in this situation. That. Translate to the entire team everybody doesn't remember but if you play a game and affection if Tom Brady Tom Brady hadn't had. The Super Bowl from 2001. He probably wouldn't be the same guy 20032004. I mean it is factors and once you've been in these games before and have some success. War even in these games and you pad. Failure you're team has lost to come back again got to think about Robert this.

Now I have heard human nature -- the experience factor whether it was a good -- or a bad one is going to play in the minds of of the guys that were in that game. We do look at Brady for example and effort people side you know is no way he's going down there and lose to the giants he's got to make sure he's a while I thought that was one of his biggest problems in -- game last week against Baltimore but the -- will eat the address -- one was the adrenaline was flowing. He wants to who hyper and couldn't settle down in that course of the game I think that was an issue and I think we're Brady's but it is best. He's been that even keel breed that's something I gotta give -- like me any credit for and maybe that's why he says so much success now. With -- comebacks in the fourth quarter he has found a way of just settling back down not getting rattled by anything. And they orchard they were all over him last week coming get from every different angle. He just got up yeah I forgot about is can they make the play on the next past. To me that's what you've got a big you can't sit there it's I remember what they did it was four years and I gonna go I don't stop Brady was too hyped up last.

I -- as part of it and and may be that that happened on that wrote a gronkowski. -- he he wide open -- early -- we are going to -- you know that. Dennis Kelly and maybe not rooming together but. They're going Matt Maloney -- the other -- Nomar. We're going maybe you're rooming with Callahan and -- analysis to Michael Savage right. Man Jones. -- you go ahead do that do you know whatever you wanna do but we're all gonna ending. We got a broadcast live from WEEI super Saturday party. At Boca the couple in downtown Indy from -- of violence Saturday February 4 tickets are 10100 dollars each. And include access to the party integrated trying to spread by -- to -- A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Boomer Esiason foundation in its fight against cystic fibrosis. To purchase your tickets to the WEEI super Saturday party log on right now -- WEEI dot com slash.

Are you ready sent a card here in the big show WEEI what's up Brad. Are. Even Abraham was. Abnormal about so --

Good get what I want make a killing and then a question on the part of being a caller brought up earlier that it's hard to beat a team twice -- America I think that sure I mean you look at. The 07 feeling the pats beat the giants. You know going into the playoffs -- this year you have the Packers take the giant straight down to the wire you. The giants take the patriots down -- the liar wouldn't simply have to beat the giants just I think it's hard to. To be that -- what actually ask well and my question was going to be debt and notes receivable. -- that there's no question -- balance of the best performance of up front forward defense that line in the history of the Super Bowl.

How -- Super Bowl history but it was very it was very good I mean the steel curtain was or four times and and what Bernie gave up six points that are vikings though. I mean there are lots of examples of of guys playing great but that was. Though those players all of them really stepped up and had consistent. Consisting great games solemn.

And I think everybody is saying all that does the best chance with a giant seven beat the patriots and again. Content up front four but I don't think it Ochoa -- It Steve Spagnuolo should've gotten a lot of credit for the blitz packages became public who.

Did did got a dog -- current got a head coaching jobs right here he's corrected it pretty well for himself.

And he came up -- blitz package with their favorite creature they had for a defense an orange. Going greedy about our boot -- eight totaled five -- are well.

Couple couple things that the linebackers play great to everybody forgets how well Antonio Pierce -- now another broadcaster but how well he played in that game. But it's it's the Patriots offense is different right now. Of the giants the way they play are different right now. I don't believe it's the same game I don't believe it's the same match.

Right although I don't know especially -- bad luck Michael Strahan who is a halt favored no question that a lot.

Cool and glad we went and an unbelievable game phenomenally went away and it went away and declared god.

Right -- and now the third patriots have a little bit tight end that they have now can open up an option that he really didn't have.

I Gracie I think that changes everything you're playing and underneath game if you go back -- that's why it's interesting. You may want to look at the -- injury here Michael because you may wanna have bowled over. And and dates older. For this game because if you go back to when they played earlier this season the patriots played a lot of three tight -- why. We wanted to keep sold back former starting at the right tackle wanted to keep sold back. In protection to give Brady a little bit more time on that blind side that may be a factor here -- they did use that third guy. Act consistently. And if you don't have them it means you probably have to use a back. In the backfield to be able to to take care of that guy -- Brady needs time. But not as much time -- as he did it with a Randy Moss passing but it wasn't as Randy Moss. What does Randy Moss mean brokerage and a -- like all of his route to but they overplay pocket they did a great job on walker I thought. In a game they over played him and they said go ahead if you want. We're gonna we're gonna force you to go to their Randy Moss will not let you move the chains will Welker we're gonna force you to go to Randy Moss. In this instance. What do you do. Shut down walker who do you shut down after that you only have so much somebody personnel back there right the president who you know what go to next gronkowski. And then what happens Hernandez is still open this is a different off. The different offense aids. Kind of tough to say it's better -- Not much if Barry in my but it might be a better match up against what the giants throwing to defense. That's prosperity because you don't report because Brady does not need as much time as he needed four years ago or break right back to phone calls and.
