In -- the -- You can only good rookie. All get a comment it was all -- football I would -- the real bad. You and pat -- sure I want to Ripken right. My rookie year -- well I literally ripped it. Help comparable to a wide receiver. I want to -- you about your article here mark.

Well are about you are you're you're involved one -- group -- finishes in NFL history on the field obviously against the giants famous -- is -- a fumble did you have a problem. With what Schiavo did. Against the giants here last week. Well I don't think -- looked at the wrong answer I filled their. And I understand the great front in the front hookup between the football game and all have a -- a couple scenarios would look look at. Let the law that would merely big corporation now appellation there had to take place yet when it happened. The -- it would actually handle now they have a very diplomatic note reader but got back into the make back -- or pick filed with the -- What culture probably -- six seconds left on the clock and I didn't know you try to hit the center called the overall. Don't let. That's because without government and why they called time out. The aggregate but he get got -- and secondly this is that. A bottle up that. And I'm OK. And that look at what the outlook and that I didn't I'm a member of the real at all in Atlanta journal put that down that not speak about what it. And out of the article to our program on it making it legal that he called our country -- -- score or how often do right. Yeah. And they're going to be at that it would not involved and play format plays that we called the annual outlook particularly. Well what you're gonna be and -- -- here. I typical golf Obama would have been pretty happy. One out. Caught up to predict when you do. Like how -- I know both sides of the I can think at the end of the day we do want National Football League both guys you -- -- -- victory at Pittsburgh Steelers against. -- they went and got people off that they'll come across -- they're sick and great mandate politically and I carry out what. So their remarkable couple welcomed like Balkan land a couple of ordinary hard about the outcome of course they can you know -- I don't think there's a bit. There's all there's no like I just use common sense. That prevailed all -- do. What a parent knowing that we're trying to figure out. Why it seems that Wes Welker is being. I always say about. He said nothing is really change at the patriots certainly look when you look at personnel groupings. Look like they are doing things differently they'd lose Hernandez in nineteen the other day but before that. Everything seems to be running through the fight against what do you see term. With the patriots differently this year especially with the new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels that you saw last year. Well look sub -- quarterback due to the office logged. In the -- appreciate it doesn't hurt that didn't play together. Actually propagate their quarterback so it will with the I didn't system. Even really become -- a lot of the ball a lot more people try to run a more perfect Tom Brady become global play action scenes an apparently spread you out. We'll try to get the ball out -- Audio that I didn't woo woo woo very difficult to deal with. With most humble almost seems last year and about Hernandez and talk about walking the word he's got this straight do. -- we talk about Hernandez -- it while cause he's a joke. Because he played all that he's sitting in the backfield is an outlet receiver Walter walker obviously he still -- player I think you've got to give Walt Walt now. With the fact that the cost down you know. -- -- Yeah you are acutely bonanza because you got taken at the moment -- -- where you put. They get a little bit in the right result. They're trying to pick their content still they would run the ball a little bit more -- work out the clock out what happened to you if you know for a lot. Gave -- won the Election Day. And now that's world you know that's what we're up against you got -- -- -- because at any moment. You heard it all over -- big play. Its -- court and the report tiger moved. They are great philosopher permanent member who was once said nothing good happens after midnight at all or I don't want. And Michael Turner is now the fifteenth NFL players this year 2012. To be arrested for do you lie what is going on here I mean how does this happen. You know is it it it baffles me because obviously got all -- players -- basketball games. I'll make sure you go lot of groups of people go. And make sure there's one -- -- have to -- I would love that cat two to a three great picture that one got a great driver in Philadelphia owl that got. How the guy I don't bring that up -- -- -- -- is to take me rip them purposely -- -- you come I wanna know you'll come. Okay our government -- driver OK I'm the driver I get a I think you've got a connect yourself in -- don't -- that it does that indicate well. You ahead of victories of late night body like a hero in order. You can go to -- you're still you're drove a lot of for the next three hours but you gotta be careful and we do stuff like this it says it has rubbed the whole league a long ways which you -- an embarrassing situation. And your star player and you're a veteran player it's if this is not -- -- let's put the a coach's head on patriots and ravens certainly it's going to be a physical battle Sunday night down there and Baltimore. -- -- go now. Has he raised his game to the next level and what does the no -- huddle and they the op tempo offense -- for him. Well this is it gives them the ability to read defense and there's only there's only so obviously you can do decently. When you go no huddle -- our personnel group. -- the call your your your commitment to make the fact that you Google huddle. With a certain group. Players stay on football field very difficult to get played syndicate called nickel output to a position where competitively. You'll figure it out on the call to limit it. Because. Of the of the situation you're in it and it'll they'll because it gets really really offense. Right away -- apple -- that is what they want rhythmic operation that we start off at what that might have been -- rhythm got quarterback. Well and that we look at where look at the big white wanna get your rhythm in our power player to begin until May two completions record as a way it works its way. If you -- -- took a five yard play. Anything that -- widen the -- Because the quarterback what I just completed pay. I'm a novel like completed to all the economic not a lot of other question you got into volatile that kind of black all the women have a great right you know would you like to vote. Becoming the second spot in their offense in the senate 80 great -- why do we expect out. He hit one increase annual played a lot of right into the back in your defense wasn't so I think it's simple they wanna create. And Baltimore remember looking at -- because he always predicated on their defense. Take a lot of once scored eight. I can get back to one scored -- The one court and the other team that was that go to all the ethical -- -- It won't -- again in Michael again. It was interesting you talk about that with the a hurry up offense right now and obviously you can't get. The defense of personnel you want on the field but arm is it more valuable in this day and age. We're defense of coaches are changing go to the nickel golds of the -- constantly making changes defensively does that make. It more effective now than it did maybe a few years ago. Because diplomat complete. And that would I didn't become a big factor we've got to guiding him yet what. And make it into an Internet aspect -- it can take opt out of the box well -- couldn't. -- that I did all that live outside of number two matchup problems in picnic covered by the nobody elaborate a I didn't.

Aren't aren't aren't under outlook but going out I would think. It didn't -- great about football like a ballpark what I got. If you bring a bag I don't feel -- you have to react what do you want what you believe Evan Manuel played well. Let it get to me that as a -- at all -- -- global workplace don't what what -- -- movement Pete -- the quarterback. It is also a Smart way I'm pretty -- -- you go to the -- pretty good in school with a because it's open book that. What got an eight or what what do I beat rapidly and I quarterback Philip Caldwell -- didn't -- -- in the senate people. All right away I know I got Camden for the past. -- -- -- I was hopeful. I'll go to law no doubt that Obama would open book open but we don't. Coaches always great -- of football would you maybe next time you put a little bit more emotion into an economic.
