For brown will join us at 1 o'clock today. A very Melrose thoughts on the NHL lockout being over at noon. Terms of the gains this week able pick through the entire slate of games but it was those underwhelming football got to expect that from wild card weekend. That your teams and they -- the probably don't deserve to be in the air. But the football from beginning and largely underwhelming for me and one of the overwhelming thought they had watch in this the doubleheader Saturday and Sunday. Was why the hell -- watt eight teams aside. In the last two more playoff teams the wild party just barely get his. Don't play playoff football I don't watch Andy Dalton forced the ball Jermaine Gresham over and over again I watched Joseph Webb. Throw the ball up in the air twenty feet fallen down get -- Watch this crap so this idea -- Roger Goodell and his minions are watching this week and we don't need more playoff teams. And this weekend's games solidified that for me. There was not one game where you said that was a wild game the closest. Was yesterday afternoon. -- out in the west the NFC. With Seattle and a with the Redskins with Seattle on Russell Wilson of dancing will get much more to that including RG three him playing. -- late there and injuring himself Mike -- take a lot of grief today in Washington joining us on the AT&T hotline part of our patriots Monday at Logan Mankins. I had to spend a couple days off this weekend Logan was that the hunting was a chainsaw would you deal. Mostly just relax and guess what little opal. China. Trying to gear -- sure that we can. Reluctant all the games that you watch all -- deal we Ted Dioner Rory stage is pretty much watched one. But Cincinnati Houston game any new playing Houston it was a. Yeah I didn't watch. All the material but I watched -- to all the. Do not watch full games because you find watching football team be boring -- other stuff go on not. I dispute. We watch and an insecure and it is something and I gotta go somewhere. There's always something going on. How different is that when you're watching a game on TV you know does it look like a completely different game Logan for you to watch in the -- -- you guys used to. Prepared a week in week out basis. It has you know on TV only if certain angle and signs and -- under watch and the coaches teach you to -- view and and don't do so he could see everything. Looks bigger I think. You know the Houston wins tonight get them comebacks was another week of GG walked talked and don't get a good game against you last time and at the impact it may be said in other games the you get past that game to beat Houston up pretty good elect -- those guys out the guy we got a job done today but. Face him again in the future you know what he's capable of. Yeah -- he's an outstanding player and you go to got to take care -- upfront. Whether right in the bowler actionable wanna immediate success and we know we're gonna have to play good game against and and limit his production. Is this another week where we're gonna have tennis racquets. From the defense of line try to get Tom ready for. What watt those guys do in terms of batting balls down loan. Possibly. That -- the ability wants to do so. You know we usually -- we do whatever we need you to turn your actually game and that's something we need to do this week they're gonna do it and we this play out time and you do everything that you feel as a necessary. Knew he watched Houston Texas I think in the years they've I think that led the league in bring in five more rushers to the quarterback so when you go into game like that -- -- -- did that against you guys last time. Did exactly work out but still playing for team that's that aggressive defensively has to be challenged well. Oh yeah definitely and you know that I got to change a lot they're they're good team a good defense.

They're effective defense and they do a great -- As a coordinator a head coach you guys have put a lot of the Wade Phillips coached defense and he is getting a lot of the credit Logan for that turnaround last couple years in Houston. The do you notice what your plan -- Wade Phillips deepens the characteristics of what he does is -- coach try to create pressure on the quarterback. I -- he's he's an aggressive approach he likes to blitz and it seemed there was little luck and there. They give you a different looks that and the critic is different blitzes and what think about his defense and they always play hard he. Hewitt which is -- to play with a lot of effort and that's -- Houston's defense is that those critical at a hundred miles an hour out there. At the airlock this week ethic is probably. Couple years back with the jets and how the season and what happened post season but it. I think he'd talk compare the jets in Houston all you -- I think this patriots team is different that you guys are better team mean more well rounded team.
