" let's let's preview the pats jets matchup for the weekend and joining us on the line it's old friend of ours and in Europe postmark Kenneth -- and Mark. Good morning good afternoon -- it maybe it is not my good morning already -- I would still meant a lot of balls in the air right you aren't. And you wearing fanatic -- right down all those hit the Eric Mangini quotes all morning right. It's funny you mentioned that that was just that was just looking over my notes right now trying to figure it was a inactive actually used for Marat a and -- the -- is obviously rhetoric surrounding no."
" got to ask you this the average patriots fan you know based on the phone calls we've we've received and and just listening to conversations in the street averaged patriots fan has the team finishing 14 two. Our average jets fan has the team finishing where and why. The patriots were to -- the average yes and what you think -- from what you've heard. What are jets fans expecting from this team this year and --"
" Well you know expectations are high because of you know where we're Eric well the team last year Michael you know obviously ten and six with. No running game and whatnot but I think there are subjective -- realistic you know that they understand the scheduled more difficult this year obviously I think the patriots are better this year than they were a year ago. I spoke at the there's optimism in terms of you know you know somewhere in the ninth in the seventh and six range where they can get the -- well card I don't know that that a lot of they end up -- realists we think. But the depth can overtake the patriots the division but you know again that's all on paper earlier you know."
" Mark they played three times last year these two teams did and in in all three games the jets couldn't score more than two touchdowns in a game. Are they better offensively and better equipped to score against the patriots this year."
" Well I think they are bill mean you know of the -- that is all last year had -- mural. You know consistent their running game -- frankly oddly enough they're they're that. Performance then -- it really -- up probably all year in the running game was. Kevan Barlow got the -- up -- on the mud which really is. It only real good form -- all year you know they got Thomas Jones right now it was a bit of a mystery to us because. It went quite well preceding game he strained calf. I'll open it up the first receive -- didn't play the last great but we really don't know you know what to expect out of the mix of the past the -- could -- body of work out what was 500 yards left in the years. And you know he's a very helped guide doesn't missed a lot of playing -- but if at all. -- work out scenes so I think that he's going to be -- really significant addition to them in the running game I'd I'd. I think it in the -- keep them you know. You know under wraps but -- opener you know he could play a week it was north state. I I think between he and now. And and and we have Washington nearly one of their only game breakers or even all match I think -- pretty good and the between assume so yes I did it will be better I unconcerned about our -- catch the action you know obviously guys know -- The Pete Kendall spock I haven't been going -- Down here who looks of the summer thought you know of a couple weeks ago in the -- traded him away. The Redskins but I think they really love and so he'd been holding up front line. Prior looks like it could then there is going to start at left guard in -- spot. It is a sixth round draft a couple of division one double -- school that ran almost every arm is he's got very very little past at the -- still having an experience and I would have could be heard about Everett it at all that the also look back you know for the chocolate and didn't have a great year last year but -- big part of of you know go to bring -- along. An -- exit the big deal of one player but you know. I'm a huge believer continuity -- the line and chemistry and I it would get -- both of those things one minute. Decided not to pay level of your million dollars yet about two point seven million this year with really -- to have him."
" You mentioned the al that sublime market I'm glad that I was gonna ask you about it I think god man -- and Mike -- bomber so smart last year with their draft plan picking up Ferguson and nick Mangold in the first round what do you expect. From both of those players this year -- mangled a lot of level what about Ferguson particular."
" I think my goal -- certainly that didn't play Gulbuddin easier position and let Bobby that the right word he used but. The lack of a better word -- out -- left tackle public art art alliance. A -- there are very well I would worry about him he's he's very -- he'll you know I guess I'd like but I saw the last that a little more solid overall body of work -- a little bit spotty. On the past the it was not an easy game away with it. And I you know what I'm I'm on the jury a little bit out the -- that you -- player he's ever diligent guy who works hard you know is a little -- LB draft but you know what overall but boy what vocal overall rap -- I kind of expect a little bit more out of them and I and I I hope to see more out of this year that I -- last year as you know -- the fact last year and again I I respect that. And -- you know. I I is that continuity chemistry is so used. And I don't think people that really people thought about nobody in the initial read react to that almost got relatively level rookies at left guard. Well you know left artifact left tackle well and and there's a lot of chemistry there are these guys -- to know what these -- doing it. And you know there's no question in my mind as we have an adverse effect at some point probably beginning -- Sunday."
" Well Mark I know Ferguson was in the fairly. How complex -- nuanced -- in college of Virginia what what is the issue -- it is it that easy a very good run blocker in not as polished and pass protection -- that is that the deal."
" Great college player and bring -- good -- they have eat eat well they're going to cut the complex post that about you know -- Virginia without well. Last year I think probably what Michael to be -- would you eat. Eat you know lost some weight burn as easily -- what really -- all await your guy not a big you know. Perusing you know 300 and -- whatever. And you know I I thought that -- all of them and then demand is there's still have a lot about. Note that if you have an -- members -- give them all the food that that you shouldn't event is that you always cut loose weight. And that has been an issue you know because it was around a little bit at times -- a little bit light -- he's not what these guys have really. Heavy from the waist down but as the -- of seven you know good leopard where I think that that is that provides a problem worker was."
" want to go back to the the questions you brought up Mark about now pass protection issues for Chad Pennington. My guess would be if riot if Brian Schottenheimer had his choice he'd want to spread that patriots defense out a little bit and get. You know Laveranues Coles and Jericho Cotchery involved but if if he's worried about pass protection issues. Is he going to think that he's got to keep an extra guy in to help out and does that prevent him from spreading them out the way he might like to."
" Well I mean it's a good point -- I'm not sure is by no he has sort of that he is. -- you know thought I was pretty creative Gagne like let the ball you know -- all the on the field. You know but you're right you know back the technically -- suspicion is. That the -- come out. And I might be totally wrong on this call me out next week if you want but I suspect the going to cut coming out are you opened that a little bit. -- the more cautious Aramis that a our our run the ball obviously everybody that we've let and -- you know I'd cut it open catalogue I don't know -- the increase in the same mode or not but I think they're going to Aramis that a cost an Apple in a -- but that is them and and is protectionists -- they could do it would belt has got a lot of early."
" Mark I know you've known Bill Belichick for a long time you know Eric Mangini for a long time when he was working with the jets and with Belichick. And I hesitate to ask this question but kinda there's a little soap opera and meal when I -- when I get into this. Whole relationship thing between -- and -- And Belichick you have any indications that that kind of that cold relationship warned up warmed up a bit in the offseason."
" I don't think it did I really don't think it did. I think the they're kind of status quo from last you know elected noticed that still. Early in the week it mention Eric name unsolicited in one of the best we've been what I thought we would progress. It's like that hey -- helpless you know I mean left Hewitt who did it I think he you know he'll never -- and admit it but. You know in in absolutely avoiding using Eric mean even when even when provoked really was without with a low road to -- and and I think in the back blacks certainly expect them but he -- later in the year. And you know. I think in retrospect you realize that was related a classy way to go and I know for -- I know for sure but Eric you know -- a lot of respect for bill they've been friends. You know I think he was a little bit perplexed about the way he was treated by -- last year. But also a little bit amused by it because of the fact that I think it'd all of the show respect to some degree. Quite yet as well in the developed what it is laying up there. And that's what that was a little bit of amusement in it as well you know with his eye to eye on what Eric is definitely consult back -- And I think built up an awful but seriously it's just my opinion so you know that -- in the -- here -- that he's very funny yesterday. One of the guys in yet in the press about the yesterday. Ask the that he felt a little bit of pressure that I was going to handle the post -- and very. -- in an -- role with a pretty well respectability you know he had really thought about it yet you know. Yet but he's he's back a look at any people that he improve on that and that -- actually. At look at -- movie and here to eternity you know that famous will be whether. But lower -- lineup the short of the ocean with a -- action over the -- it embraced. Edgar -- you know say that people kind of expecting that you're going to return to the you know situation as an entity that is not the rent back but remember what that. -- was an element of bottom of that and I think I think he had a cup bother miracle of the left here initially it would quit and went down. And perplexed -- a bit but you know bell at second you guys know well as a very very competitive guy and and I always respect that as an anomaly. Public -- so well for the you beat them out of the -- system and you know about that at a that it is that that is now and you know though -- obviously Eric Mangini is well wouldn't let go now at a and -- at least some form what it is you want to let."
" And -- well. Another had Bradford except not a."
" A good read just you know it is is you know. I think when this -- overtime after the you know these battles you know have a beer together -- at some point you know but. Right now they're competitors and that's the way it is you know and then. About the effect it's -- make the all of the more on the."
" probably have a beer on Nantucket at a cost 15 dollars per -- that's about it. I don't Mark I think last year we had made -- on we were responding to your story we were teasing I think he wrote that he still has some things in Foxboro on the patriots would allow him to get those things it in boxes. So we -- and we think we told them that we go about their every Monday we'd be more than happy to us -- into the coaches' offices in. And it is belongings form but -- you're right he took it all in stride and he the good thing about this. Is that he's not taken too seriously it is bring some levity to it that's restore."
" Doesn't you know I really do you know I I didn't really and truly believe. And and you'll probably go over the other -- figure out there more often you know you're around them but. I really truly believe I I know that -- but still respect they're and you know I suspect they've got a little bit you know missed it last year a little bit on his then there and you know I think you know I don't want to put words it would not but I would suspect that he. If he's in regret it he realized that what I probably what a way to go -- and maybe he was just tried not to you know -- out of the media who was trying to you know all about me you everybody. You know -- body reacts -- out of but he was probably not you know you don't no you don't want to you don't want to show us anything you know and then he diverted got a and maybe -- but you know what you know I don't really think it would hurt that badly because -- America is I think it's -- that there was. And Eric I I know for fact that he opened the door of the very very he's he's he's back. But it still has done for them over the years and I -- beyond that it -- the way he handles a lot of what he does at -- in the a lot of that out. You know -- is still -- a lot of that but at least in its -- Eric is the last person forget about."
" You know we talked about the jets' offense against the patriots the fans want to turn it around for a minute. Tom Brady has started 12 games against the jets in his career he's tendon too. 14 touchdowns five interceptions. Five -- excuse me six you know against the jets at the meadowlands he always talks about how the jets put more pressure on him than any other team in the league. But the record would necessarily indicate that how the jets going to handle Tom Brady and what we believe it's an improved offense this year."
" Well you know what he just stepped right there -- in my opinion it illustrates how amazing you know probably is beyond what is it. You know here's a guy who has as the others were predicted the -- yet. And it still you know found a way to find his receivers a lot of awful lot of them you know have them -- spare part the last couple years old Fiat. And what they're going to -- article about a lot and yet they aren't the you know. All right well you all the luck you know you obviously know -- to bring them now a much better than being now they go to bed. With that is more talented group who it was a lot of apologize -- that I got but Eric Allman won their fate he's. But -- road. -- Cadillac you know. I methodically get the Lincoln he'll let you know I know one of the -- you know it but it is is he'd been in my amicable but. On the -- or what but overpaid in that. Might be a little more difficult because he's got it only one football. I think Byrd wrote that it was and maybe it's you know -- typical Olympic. Spread it around -- make everybody happy but there's no match is over they're probably be happy but when the games -- the way pretty operate them and I I trust that they'll finalists for the ball around just fine you know."
" I'm Mark media question have you or or has anyone else -- your hot competition at the daily news -- a -- for his fast. Blunder with that Kerry Rhodes Peter King thing."
" Yeah you know I certainly haven't because it was as you know Michael we all make mistakes and you know I you know. I'm sure that situation it was just the a brain freeze on Richard park and you know. I -- bodies of -- you know -- him and he's basketball you don't look like a little is upended -- probably -- at Belmont is paying them you know I think with -- mistake as part of there really I go beyond that would have been no -- about backed out here I don't know what. What he what if what if any back last that was up there but you know I think it was -- you know the stake in the and the -- than. You know everybody's over the."
" Well good for Kerry -- for not responding can you imagine if he responded to it. An -- and made something out of it than he would he would look bad."
" Yeah you -- spot you make a bet that late point because I would think about that myself and I think it you know this would have been a much bigger deal. And you know really thank goodness for Rick Barry you know -- on -- will be good because I would have just made it a lot about Europe on it and I think that well I think. You know it ended up being you know much ado about nothing because you're really didn't say anything at first at all he just felt older guys and you know it but he you know reserve comment then. You know so yeah I think yet to break point I that has been put it certainly. Turned into a mountain out of a mole hill that was as Eric mountain lashed out still. And you know let everybody would have played in the it was the right."
" final point from me we watched the of the debut of the NFL season last night we saw Jason David -- I have a night from hell for a defensive back. It Darrell Revis is going to be sleeping real well Saturday night thinking about Randy moss and Donte' Stallworth and Wes Welker and Tom Brady in all those guys."
" Well you know I don't want to beat and I -- as you -- on early enough or at all I don't want to be out in the -- so much because we haven't seen a lot of them. But from the little ones he's got a rivas is got a pretty unflappable is he's you know he's a row. You know you know -- it will those system and obviously what do you what do you like or respect or whatever -- that you know he is pretty classy guy and were on the pretty good program and I think. -- well. And I I I don't think he's going to be you know -- in. Darrelle Revis about it but it doesn't dominated throughout butterflies and I'm not you know what -- in -- of -- we handle but it went well -- the -- will start I mean Andre Dyson and burst with a bat fourth and at the very least -- it will be a -- used a whole lot. In the last couple preceded it particularly good long hard look at him in the slot as a as a nickel back. And you know what that means he got beat these big -- mr. Welker and crystal walker is a is not just yet killer -- everybody stellar an -- I -- is one of the most underrated you know -- is it is made up there's the a lot of ballyhoo about Boston and have all work. But I think what might be the most important at a level where."
" Well and if -- Bender starts you can have two guys making their NFL starting debuts in the same game."
" Absolutely no question about it and I think that's going to happen under orders start and you know what and we didn't. I didn't talk about before you know I don't think there's anybody better. You know him in the game that I -- coaching that better -- a better job exported -- weakness so I am. I really intrigued to see what would spell check at this 40 you know may be overloading that that right side of the patriots -- so whatever they'd be to try to trick and beat Bender -- any Bender clearly on the health. And that would bring respect that previous point you made the -- about. You know they won the respect their rhythm and in reality you know public papers but it is a pretty good am -- the bigger the variability with -- But it's our about the it and out in some of the album he'll. You know it was."
" The interesting to see how this all works out this weekend marked always fun to talk jets football again we'll look forward to visiting with the again this year. -- earlier Mark"
