Analyzing how Super Bowl XLVI will play out with Tom E. Curran

there our hands schools or you policy hopefully real good football game and hope we can come models what. Who want to play our best football game that we prelude to do it so starting practice we have to be able to execute -- we have we have prayer where. And we we can't we can't give up just give a please I think if we don't do please and we found ourselves. They're pretty good shape throughout the game but if we give up big plays it. Bonehead plays we've -- trouble.

That was this Wilfork. Talking about the Super Bowl which is. Getting closer and closer still more than a week away -- And seems so far off as it did this time around last week patriots are heading to Indy. Obviously and so is WEEI. Joint Dennis and Callahan but Maloney and us. As we broadcast live from WEEI super Saturday party advocate of apple north. It is crazy in downtown -- from noon to five on Saturday February 4 tickets are 100 dollars each. And -- include access to the party in a great Italian 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 WE guys super Saturday party -- WER dot com slash party can do that right now.

Tommy govern how we doing today are everything's great -- just look at forwarded to again and everything aligned in the next. 36 dollars -- on a plane. To go -- the big game. Between your local New England -- called -- blatantly -- game they only called the big game when there's a commercial endorsement of Paul L article the other name all week deck is the NFL will soon you yes yeah all the time Alan I don't wanna DSL anyway I don't wanna dance -- It was a gap between the big ABBA -- the big game for the the New England entry. Realistically what century against a big blue professional football team. Well wasn't it wasn't an Indy. Some charged with having a Super Bowl party in the column Super Bowl parties fiasco that of them Indianapolis was no ordinance state of Indiana I'm I'm looking at least I generate to a big game part of big game --

I'm looking at like raffle dot org here and -- they called -- the super -- wait a whistle blow the -- and by the way this is an unbelievable. Raffle item two blocks. A ticket you've got to buy a minimum of five that would be a much -- and don't -- so far and winter and against will be met special guest. On Sunday February 5 game looks so big game the big game winner against receives three nights accommodations at a premium hotel. While we're premium. To its premium witnessed it. Our winner will receive a travel allowance. For up to 2000. Dollars. 2000 bucks on top of that you receive an autographed number easy to bring teachers. As well as a football autographed by the entire starting -- I'm pretty operates out free -- delivered personally by -- Like he's -- Give -- on Sunday why don't bullets and bodies let's sit supplements on -- there. Which you'll be five print production. That puts you would would do that. All he can afford it got a lot of money gone and we're all doing it done. Referring back to four years ago because of they gave in 2000 that particular 2007 X 2008 rent 2007 -- it. Because is still dealing with the front four with seven back. In in coverage correct he sees is it really factor will you alluded to it Michael's alluded we all are the people on Comcast the -- US I think worldwide.

To the difference at this point we all can tell what the hell -- differences differences the key cog in the 2007. Season. Was Randy Moss and you waited for Randy Moss to clear -- spent time. That we speak and Belichick can indicator of the safeties with a with a tender spot of the giants' defense to get to the safeties you have to run. Sometimes twenty yards downfield to get on top of and a few quarterbacks waiting twenty to 25 yards down field. Coming off the mind that's gonna give that defense of -- an opportunity get them now much more quick hitting horizontal passing game. And I think. Not gonna say the JPP Kiwanuka -- in Europe and everybody else are going to be side stories but they. Have a chance to have their impact minimized. I totally agree I think it's a much different offense on the way that they play it. As -- We just brought it up to about like I I don't think they need to hold up that protection as long as they did where they had one guy. My -- if you when you watch this game the other day against Baltimore. They have one guy in 2007 to give you that underneath linebacker level mismatch in the passing game. Now they have three different correct to do it and and you could see in the second and third quarter when the patriots. And I agree with Greg would drive local Brady had some bad throws up. We played pretty good especially when we get to that hot zone. In the second and third quarters they were just spoken mismatch.

Yeah I've -- I'll agree with that let them go back to your point of about the giants to. Where the safeties the weakness yes the secondaries. In the secondary that was a weak point and in 2007. I had an underrated strong point. -- middle linebacker. Antonio Antonio took -- bullies good -- but Antonio Pierce. Antonio Pierce I like yours better impose real yet. There's I think bullies that he's in LA I -- peers play great -- he did but I really right now as a playmaker you don't Mitchell also played played well as he did stereo. As so I think that's that's one of the things also about. Tom Brady and AFC championship game. I've talked about this on Monday after the game in Sports Illustrated. Captured it. -- great photography one of the great photographers that touchdown. -- yeah just not an easy play and it was a goal -- play and you think -- and have a quarterbacks -- And he put the go over the top the way did. And take that hit it look like Tom Brady to me with a -- plain old that was that was great great player who was pretty pissed off.

come back off the bench after the challenge after it. I still didn't -- conclusive report I didn't know him either. I mean it looked like the shadow of his Snead may have been down but the ball -- middle of the goal and I thought that was a really bad review by officials but he looked really pissed about that and I'm going over the top. You don't think of touched on here issue freak -- touchdown.

Yeah I mean really you can see everybody initially in Sports Illustrated captures at the right time everybody it's in the -- it's a great picture everybody's blocking down -- waters in there. Everybody's waiting for that that low low push and a look -- for Brady just kind of sneak in there behind to guard. And he's over the crowd holding the ball and the degree and that he brings the ball back in because obviously -- he's afraid somebody would hit it up there. And they wouldn't realize that he was over the yeah it wasn't over the line it would be a touchdown no matter how long you hold it right sorry Leo but. But it does come loose and you spent three play right exactly you don't that's got to plan so we all agree that the protection is gonna be different terrific front four for the giants the open to public. What the patriots to collectively better if it ever even more talented right now I don't strain has gone but. JPP. I'm lucky enough to have one of those AP vote we'll find out whatever but he got the awards were next week in terms of the MVP defense to put profits -- Patrice Pierre Paul. As a defense sequel you've got to worry about him an awful lot of reflections he had eighty tackles but -- don't have plenty that's where defensive end all this dramatic let's just run all over the field but he's got great length and he gets up on balls and you you know start deflection could be -- special which is short passing it. But let's go to the flip side. How do you stop Peyton Manning. And -- receiver -- also driving into arrive on time you. Those are -- separate yourself Estrada to arrive on time I heard you guys discussing. The difference. With these accidents. As explosive as well to watch scary Victor Cruz did. In the game against the jets which basically you know our pool and Rex and company. That 99 yard touchdown most as electrifying as quality as you could -- like that right now. They remind me of the Steelers. In some ways.

Bid giants' offense is somewhat similar. To the Steelers offense not -- scheme but in skill position guys Antonio Brown Mike Wallace. The guys they have on the outside in Victor yeah -- and -- very fast and you have a guy -- restarts plays with their. When Roethlisberger. It's obviously giants are probably better audio -- there there are much better group of just say -- lifestyle what they act so much more explosive now Steve Smith's possession receiver and you know had his best year to get 12100 yards. Never was a real big Amani -- guy and we put up numbers but. You know Plaxico was a mismatch but this this is a much better more explosive group -- no one's talking about and it's going to be a factor in the game. The giants. Giants protection against the patriots for -- not great. The giants for Arafat's on the -- right. Right so which we keep talking about the -- of the giants' front four because their past thrusters and succeed me do all these things. -- patriots don't have any sexy guys on the defensive line. But it's effective we'll look at the 49ers at a much in that the patriots of the 49 -- 49ers do 49ers were all over. Get ready and -- continent -- draw a couple of guys don't you know he got Justin Smith. Who would have gotten my vote -- forty he's in -- defensive player in the congress gives him and Suggs to it -- you you gave you gave it to. Pierre Paul over -- because of what the -- tackles. The tackles the blocked kick against the cowboys involved with the.

Don't you feel better.

How many people have been waiting for years for an athlete just the language and -- now let this guy that's -- call it an anti analytic. Hold on skew the driving down to Bristol don't YouTube and watch -- here. You. Watch your language you bring good foundation on things that you bring out of this -- he again unsettled wicca. -- mobile -- yeah it was good and they show them how language it's lying -- I think that this is going to be testing 11 other. Silently -- we're gonna hear this all the next it is easy to use ten days where people started -- conversation appointment with. You know nobody's pocket -- out. By the next week don't study these sentences with happy everything well but I haven't heard anybody say that -- half. -- everybody's excited somewhere. Trust me they haven't if they -- it makes no sense the very fuel.

Steve Spagnuolo difference in terms of would news tactic is worth trying to explore a little bit too NC YE. In what ways their defense of mines and with packages coverages are different yeah. -- mean -- 22 different guys defense coordinator matchup in the government coaching job with Steve Spagnuolo would 2007. And now it's it's very fuel. I'm gonna get to your phone calls coming up next at 6177790850. A toll free 8885250850. We gotta -- a scream team ball can keep you wanted if you wanna eat right here because. It's not in the freezer right now so that will melt. And that you wanna eat that up right now and aren't as bright as nice -- one -- you remember that scene from stand by me. But I think it up we -- like you're -- RS. And -- do whatever version of the traditional. And then the Snickers version that we get stickers version there available at local grocery stores everywhere the great course for a football party but great decoration that you get to -- at the end of the at the game. Let's get a phone calls here at six or 77790858885250850. What a lot of 540 can now. Call let up 6177793535. Courses it is Friday we will have the wine of the week as well.

Who's been there. Return noses. -- guys have been. Multiple Super Bowl MVPs this is like bent bend kind of thing he's got a gift for this starting opposite him maybe useless innovation here. Bart -- maybe Bart Starr. Tom Brady you know it's not all -- I don't know at all in a lot of American McGee had a big game in the first game I don't know if -- Sanofi. -- and two time MVP yet no I'm not -- Bart -- that MVP and I think he won the first MVP in the second MVP in the first two soup apples.

I don't think not well. -- about one -- disappear -- was going -- positives voters he's not going to the hall of fame. Nowhere near now. But would it be outrageous to suggest that Deion Branch would have a chance to be -- I would say this is Super Bowl MVP could be but if you're making one of those.

Crop have lag I'm not sure to guest appearance since the Super Bowl I'll hunt here too much. Regular. On -- record like. -- now let me do one of those -- that's like. If we can do one. -- MVP. And on the lose that and everybody. To the foul calls yours did -- hello wedge to actually --

I'm I have a combination courtship suggest. Booklets to date with -- Where they would seek care cost opponents why don't they go when there -- no -- often it's. Do don't -- the other after the you know they usually not get they'll consider their offensive teams together by the minute they receive a punt or kickoff. Just go right away into the --

And you this have a guide -- snap of the so many of Styron planes that are always the first death on the EB Israeli kickoff catch it meant snap at practice somebody that and play. When -- in Charlotte on the first play of the series that you want it's a new well. I didn't know I don't want it to be that. It a lecture Oca. Let's argue with the suggest -- here and I didn't get to the suggestion is Johnny because I Johnny. Thought John -- Johnny is that what he met you mean like when you receive the kick you supposed to merely. Have Brady in the field that snapped a two missed out run back at have been cut them off now he didn't either that second nineteen may the main issue maybe America. That's your first your first series you just go and that's what they've done yeah. This this team I think goes in the no huddle an awful lot not a fact they they only did it in that game that's Super Bowl game against the giants. I believe in that last series right that last drive which they scored. The last two.

Well I am so along those lines here that I beat them -- the patriots weren't quote the work and should be aware that number walked.

worked it's worked all year long have been very effective. Yeah the no huddle everybody except Ochocinco that I sit on -- and then again Michael sorry.

Quick ways to Wes Welker right off the line Perelman -- rocketing but it works every single time in the honesty wicketkeeper mark ballots on defense. And they can do their job. Where it's -- which -- guidance from new York and work in Massachusetts are facility retraining are at least. -- to structure workers there. These guys you meet every reason in the world that could jarring sober up Powell although the patriots. And it's the same rhetoric that you get from -- experience rather than a console. I think that it's anybody's game like the capitals saying that on any given some very. It's gonna go out to -- out -- more. When the most I was barrels and I wore the whole game I saw that saw quite by solar energy. I felt that that was just the giant game at the end.

Do we. Over the next week there could hear every single possible we -- in itself every single cliche on digital if you -- got a few of them out there is Kevin in New Hampshire right Kevin.

Yeah you don't -- in -- of Bart Starr was the was -- are going to be yes I was just resource and that too. Terry Bradshaw wanna twice well -- went in one real. Tired at all we pray you'll get dirt. That's right.

Is your real -- Gavin. He's been threatened birdie birdie -- the WB rooting for Deion Branch.

At quarterback until. Yes I. Thought it at the -- that they Ringo. -- You usually in the don't bird New Hampshire for the big show WB yeah. --

I'm like out -- rookie Q that they haven't heard yet. In basically what I want to imagine its -- preferences first by saying that I understand how -- a -- start right now. Scenario would be. -- to top it -- in the in the second quarter of its and that can. The picture -- the ball. I'm not ready it's pushed out of pocket. -- blind sided. And fumbled the ball. In the giant taken for a touchdown and -- seventy apparent. Great market not. In the drama -- He kicked off the field. In the got to bring a man and the go to commercial break.

Is a -- you're right largely as a number of them here.

I'm so angry at Gloria and I understand from -- from the patriots organization what they gonna say the professional he's -- the golf he practices every day. But I want to look like if you guys -- we cannot talk to take on. What we anticipated gonna happen when they're down about seventy attendant always sceptical well.

Michael bishop should be signed this week. Believe that as -- what are the most depressing scenario what were you thinking that lately.

Well you know what you guys -- scenario and -- you are now I'm gonna -- but are sort. Or -- I would just like I love talking about the game due to talk about something you'd thought about two days ago it's fine. -- you want a repeat yourself that's fine. You know injuries down seventeen it and here's what comes -- we're gonna do that's a good question all -- Ryan lawyer do Brian Hoyer I think sometimes you have a guy comes in cold. People punches to its stats don't name makers he gets a few completions. Barbara. Barbara why don't acknowledge here toward silliness that's -- Aaron.

Are -- song not straight -- I but also -- hearing people call him and asks what are you most later in the game. And you know like you take out the conductor that keep what's gonna.

Why do you guys do that the people c'mon. Why do you do that from a Tom Brady in the tree he got three minutes that's relentlessly at detaining you yes me moment. Little too much for -- with you Michael will too much dummy and it's. -- all -- decent here Paul there's still a kick -- or to -- Closer -- our Brian Hoyer now how does seventy -- third quarter against the giants as waited.

The wall or crook always. And by the -- The party who that there aren't all the people let it play in their strategies and all the stuff like America was that cyber -- party over everything it's got on Cuba. He seemed to me that the one thing that. There's there's the picture cards don't formed -- you'll flawless is that no offense as you'd like as the public the public bought sit out against. The waited three years whatever it is cardinal he cardinals four pillars which you know people are very repeat we're deploying and usually to get -- though because expecting. Start pounding the rock on per second down and didn't -- huddle and keep. Those big guys on the field or vice Versa start slinging the ball -- put before principle are -- current event. Per second down the other problem -- and they're based Google result motivated against the one big weapons that New York --

There's an interesting thought to -- no huddle. Adam. For the bulk of the game for the patriots just wanna correct a couple of misconceptions one textures that. Steve Spagnuolo was unemployed -- not an -- the defensive coordinator now for this for the saint. Because Gregg Williams has moved on and the other thing is. -- fuel is not as Steve Spagnuolo disciples Spagnuolo was that Jim Johnson late Jim Johnson. Of the Eagles so he really was. Doing a lot of creative things. With his linebackers do a lot of interest in blitz packages some deception there. -- fuels not the same is not the same guys so there is a different you know they've got tools for talented pass rushers there's a different. And how they deploy with this coordinator respect -- in 2007. But your overall point you know going no huddle to keep those groups from switching in and out and an end to where these guys down make him tired yeah I think it's a good point.

the department watched him grow up and everything. My middle school high school I saw Tom Brady's go to -- what many time -- so. It's great to be part of team campaign -- teammates and everything out. The defense played well tonight we we just got to victory and that's all matters and not Wear on her way to the championship -- animal Oberto.

The most he most he emotional momentum -- Giza. Where Brooklyn. Ashcroft doing an interview in English. We were talking earlier about -- source fiesta ailment. And the fact that he's points so much on the defensive side of the ball boy Mario Manningham. Couldn't help but I hope he's out there when we play them. Many him told -- I don't wanna sound like that but you know what I mean to our advantage. I hope he's out there. It's a different stage this thing regular season that you're re you'll position. Still -- try to exposure to its all or nothing now. That ain't your position this is the Super Bowl and we want you to play that position itself.

You know and he's right. He's right but I just say -- and that's what it comes down to Tom Coughlin probably don't -- say it but you know that's what that they can. The battle that is out there you don't think they're trying to attack to entitlement. It's a man -- just common sense that it amazes me how much Tom Coughlin has changed over the years in that he's really taken on the identity of his team as opposed to. His team taking on the identity of him because they talk a lot yeah they do whether it's Justin talk. Whether it's Manningham whether it's you know guys on the offense or defense -- they talk a lot and he. Doesn't really stop them from doing so because I think it's their team's identity so I mean what what difference does it make in the wanted to gives us. Several minutes of conversation but I as you said. Again when I was driving into arrive on time who's kidding who puts it when -- out there right. Talk about her ultimatum earlier that of course you want about how I just think it makes zero sense. Permitting him to just bring that up because it's not gonna play any harder is not -- instantly. Get a backlog of is -- experience. You know watch -- you know what Tom and some guys. And that's this may be what many of -- some guys may. Have more problems once they start -- stuff like that they had to pressure starts getting. Jobs -- you want props for being on time. There's no it wouldn't do you have subtly we're not doing not so subtly worked it in there. You were driving to arrive on -- other appointing you know that what -- most of the points made to some people you know what you did on general. Mostly. Your personal obstacle -- thirty you're late I wish I had the I have my phone was on -- I was impressed enough to note -- recalls from. 860 whatever it is opener now. Sorry execs -- committed to run or 231. Through it. So no you know -- and that is supposed to do your volume current you know we're supporting anti artist. Jason -- said in aid to commit to I was on Friday -- 354 Essex don't we judge ordered. No no yes we georgians to which one do you want unknown. I remember it was very specific instead susteren don't plug out of three -- that's finds no -- now that was and everybody signed on apple I have written down you're full of an expert there an agreement that you always bring you live very well and that's that's the really interest quality. Yeah. Well there really are aids through their readers and viewers have been say in a bottle is a good lie is a good line. Yellow convincing but no that's true but that's you should say it until today. Usually I don't believe that to be the case I believe that I. Was told this figure by -- He says -- I wanna come in from four to six it's written by us. A two before and you sit through -- it did so to get field again onto albeit traffic or even closer -- to -- so because you guys came to the idea it was a sliding scale I decided this guy was writing -- times.

She's called for a month North Carolina in its north. In. Acre thanks stick my caught up -- arms were up. I think a good lies and oxy more and a trip to -- not a good -- have a different political. There's no WE I doubt it just -- shoot intractable everybody outside and and for the giant that's -- in the game.

Not -- I think you're right I think a lot of people are rooting against the patriots for many reasons. -- horrible Bill Belichick. Tom Brady passed -- new England's success by again and you just. Good on the list some -- a lot of people don't want the patriots to win outside of any --

Anyway Tom Coughlin pulled off a major coo into the 20070 all right and that Iraqi veterans paraplegic. That would that it had been up and edit like law. And he inspired those those giant they played an inspired game yeah bar a bar patron that. Let me preface that by saying the the New York Giants were comparable to Mike Tyson and New England Patriots coupled and Holyfield. Now in the -- interior. Well I'm I'm in a more in the probable Mike Tyson and all fight to keep a hold of success. We -- it to you after the fight at what he did to win. Republicans said that it was known to him that I would get into a cold apple rate before the -- when the bell rang you this you're out of his opponent. -- it not only to be adopt a strategy that he intensified. He met fury with fury and that's the key. The one time deal guys it's as -- what an incredible motivational speaker. And a -- it'll make the patriot. And I I spoke with Adam. Earlier this morning and he's -- Have been all if you could speak core.

Yeah I know he's -- he's completely unintelligible. Plus plus he probably has a large bet on the game. -- he said he spoke with this morning.

Adam absolutely put you through it earlier. And many said that they had to get speaker and so that the show.

If -- producer Bernard Noah Adams Mikey does show side. Yeah he's a workaholic yours is the love thing really but. Keep you from killing you. It was. Cigarettes during the daytime he takes these phone calls from people the country needed no Mike as a national show. We're just that there's -- in the room. Schools. Now veto field. I don't know I don't know if this is this is the day down this is I don't know motivational speakers there. Wish that I don't know that when Buster Douglas are -- bull -- available to us.

I hate to say I hate to hear having. -- you know in incapacitated Iraqi war veteran is a coup. Two I don't think that's the bills were Greg Hughes if it's cool to get into incapacitated. Or veteran. -- this is this is kitten Tommy this year's day this is reached. That's taken advantage for somebody would have to make it sound Michael it would get got a leg up we get somebody's were soft in the Bagram and talked become I mean this thing. The giants were far more intense the giants -- sick of being disrespect that they were pissed off on the took the field and it was a patch of form and they should it was a good -- exactly -- forget the first play of that game of the patriots that the giants ran from scrimmage. Winner Daly is Thomas reached over and help to -- Brad chop off the -- wild man I've never seen that from patriots teams who mobile. Motivation is for Canada seriously about it and that was to me a little bit alarming because as patriots talked about it teams have talked about. Is there -- different -- series pre season regular season playoff and Super Bowl and that responsible Tampa we need to take a break bring to motivate currency we can motivate our screeners right now she would get some better calls -- next to a public show.
