" I don't care in the Mitchell get back you spoke of a couple of minutes it's excellence but it's at an -- our our -- Art in a low end either. Guys Guardia army and watch a lot of I think so yeah that true work schedules. That yet what you spend your unbelievable you spend your life right out of college head call I'm going to pretty during game. With a cut out. Private investigative Vic and I think that. And final project why don't win each one of these guys are are wrong right are corrupt. Topics are good mood at that kept the -- day -- now the fumble. Recovered instead of active with his cuts in the game with a tied it caught the ball it's Cleveland. What what's Andy's washed out that -- person. While you always interesting about the second one. That the Kellen Winslow -- talkative in the all self. There was an identical I didn't catch yes by Heath Miller out later that night for Steelers and that was a force out now -- that play exactly his fourth. What what exactly the same seem like. And and I I was -- it was a -- by corruption can you know evict you -- Perfect you know daddy's Vickers one question -- you think yes the few good friends obsession with this is because -- set a record for most times offside by retired in the history that's ever. You think that's what do I remind you do you believe they -- other removed so sharks are you saying that Fred is the greatest most to hate -- derrick I don't hate it what's -- It's gonna escalate that Canada in -- possible -- size of who always starts up the view interview my Buick. He -- than religion but -- us. It dropped right off the track you -- Fred jump off sides -- a golf tournament that's how I got acknowledged alternative to fret job. I like that doesn't hurt. I collected that would relentless -- you know just about to move on people want to know these are now. I don't know ultra like this if you want usually -- the intelligent use of Monday's ruling against her reaction of that. In the line -- an odd the forecast is calling for the windy conditions to let you know. Is of which are solo -- Sporting are it's only instead of 40 to 50 points and be like 30 pitches -- he says that I don't notice. That's got a little bit I got I got want."

" For you guys though I got a good one for it within the last hour or so aren't I have had a had a conversation on and other radio show with -- mr. Bart -- linebacker for the ravens talked about tonight's game so -- all we're talking about that the pets basic you know bread and butter of spread of mountain right part of would go for why local vibe right. -- right -- yes very nice spread butter on and Tenet and and go empty and just attack the way to do it Bart Scott says if we see that tonight. His were not common with four were backup with five were come with six and we will keep hitting in trying to hit. Tom Brady as much as we possibly can if they want to insist on doing that. Will hit them and hopefully hopefully he said he did use the subject for hopefully. You know he won't get hit 22 -- other -- another or diabetes also you know an eight yard and a passes available to all of them feel while I was like come back I said you know I think they've done on this against some other teams I think other teams have blitzed them. And I said I think they can get the ball off he says oh yeah and always have those quick route those quick but he he just said that it's done that they are narrow their risks so. That worked very well put for a team that's that's struggling but it's gotta fight it plus five literally and up I don't I don't and a."

" We play the -- that they could play the jets few years ago. Brady was reductions second in the -- they brought everybody right right recruits at max protection here that Brady what does it do shotgun five wide. Three got passed ball ball ball ball ball and they -- the jets out of it you."

" But with seven guys who come with a 51 if someone's -- felt it was Watson. Yeah six of stresses this -- the the truth at that. Auburn product -- so it's not the wind had blown at the blow odds from a ball well about speaking habits of some other -- Controversy bars whatever our -- right to wear ski but I need to hear somebody's taken -- against that somebody. I'll how to about the criticism of -- and you're going to okay that for an -- we watched the game offset together and we said. Really look like -- whose life. It looked like did not look like Tom Brady was waiting for him on several sessions water than he normally okay. I supposedly off but it looks like we talked about this on Monday Chicago. But we were trying to figure out whether it was that -- a big hit late in the first quarter and a number ensued in which you guys and we will wondering if that. You know was the was the start now again. We -- back -- looked at the the tape broadcast date. Jaworski is looking at the over head -- holding a lot more and he was more descriptive. In claiming that he took plays off the ball one -- you know in his in his direction I I can't. Because we were looking at the game to remember it."

" I have a hard time I mean and again I have the utmost respect for -- bricks and stuff down. And I also know he comes in to his analysis without -- he is based room he's giving -- fair -- right he's straight he's and that's what that's -- So so if you -- going back credential and your -- you finding criticism I I will walks up to forward this. Having said that though. I am have a harder time with with two guys right now who have been of the brunt of a lot of criticism as they play a bit as we've played the receiver position. There's guys who I think have just been reformed in two. Good team players in two guys who works contributing for a -- to the team's. And and guys are having trouble criticism one is Randy moss the other is a guy saw that when I was in Dallas the night and as they are all assets are all -- and I got to -- it just waited for it -- I don't -- he's playing for now. Notre -- and I just saying based on the game and you're right you swallow hard and you say. Eats he's not a good while credit they got to give credit that how much much of that is that that while there's all of us one day. Yet it's all of -- I think I think it has everything to do that I do think to it has something to do with the respective. Coaching that both of these guys to remember this with because they they I think they feel comfortable and trust where they are obviously we know the reasons why radium. -- which trust his situation in New England -- with their coach -- separate. You look at Dallas now. And and remember. Owens caught 80 plus passes last year the leading receiver the cowboys and hated the situation was miserable with Parcells and was miserable with Todd Haley. Who was coaching the it was the you know what the passing game coordinator right for Parcells. Couldn't stand. Dealing with -- either one of what he loves wade Phillips he's not a paced by the way probably to catch he's going to catch were TD region catch. You were overall passes I think by the end of the seasons in the al west. A you're -- any -- trouble but he loves Jason Garrett Andy and so I think there's something to be set for. I don't know it's such it's that it's great trust in each and right situations. And we see in see in this league now where you where you'll look at this all the 14 tonight. How many of those guys -- really fully -- trust -- by the you've -- couple games -- so you see the difference is that you can you can have all -- talent if it's not -- at that level you've -- problems -- and I think -- problems -- other places -- it was -- have -- that -- changes -- Some people got to be below the shoulder was -- to -- on. -- I think worth coach I've ever seen you for well over to ours are marvelous government -- protect him and asked rewards go to embassy. In professional sports one and one and done with camp I'd I'd I've watched it Monica wanted to look at what game to keep it my fingers to not -- almost like well with a situation when Lou Holtz over the jets that process ahead at some of apologies -- of their games in Europe. Right -- you know they are an annual rite aid to expecting them to go winless is probably the right -- it would take. I think you know for instance did you see them covenant the covenant orchard park next week to -- buffalo which you think it's a no brainer that they have no shot and I'm with you there but whether everything in and where the bills are right now. But I think this this is -- team all league is going to have a day when the other team just doesn't show off its recent buffalo does mean that I don't like to the west it on there and I mean buffalo it would -- back problems right now -- bullets go rule the -- of well -- And put Edwards back here -- 14 and he's he's made quite differently you know he brings presents to that offense that they did not have previously they have a guy with an escape plan with a with a plan -- units had who's smart he sees he knows where he wants to go the football he decisive. He's poised he made some throws yesterday that -- just you know -- 57 ericsson open it looked at five levels wasn't an officer was -- last past Josh reed. Was was just. That kinda thing that -- that I think a big time guy makes as a rookie and this kid -- heat none and you listen to him talk about himself and the quarterbacks he just knows everything right Pittsburgh are much like a very young Albert another guy -- case for being one and done halfway through the season nor -- vigorous and replaying. A little bit better ago. Collar around a little bit I still have my concerns about Philip Rivers -- you're watching what is right Ladainian comes up with a big bucks 70 data help out two touchdowns that the fence comes up. Really big for the chargers -- trial but but Philip reverses shaky -- and that's the thing at turner sports fixer Wallace pulls to a fixed in -- they -- rod. It's because he's literally elevated international does that really durable -- remember we were talking Fred you are talking about 1000 pound last week we -- talking about that awful game. And I and I said -- this guy I just have a lot of faith that he's going to do and he was doing the job third down he dated. Very impressive I've got his first pick of the season yesterday at -- but overall I thought that the jags played about as well as you can play group they always do against it."

" I'd never seen anything like this we are -- we've got four weeks left in the NFL season and the reason a single division in football up for grabs right now. I mean it's it's over it's over at every division we were talking about the -- talk about the during the break. The giants' position is fixed now that was one game. That that people were concerned about let's say they go they win tonight they mean Pittsburgh next week they shouldn't have probably -- the jets against Miami but the giants could be fighting for something. The giants have a situation especially after they lost in the running back last night. With they're probably going to rest people on that 16 game because they have got to play the next week and while part yeah. That the patriots might have. You know at that that game against the black -- that night."

" That very walker because you're right there have they can't better they probably won't you'll look to improve their position. And -- but look at this -- still got some concerns -- obviously -- Eli Manning -- and he comes through with those last two drives -- the very -- he's very -- and -- your question what you saw that last drive when they decide to run the ball into the and so withdrawn -- couldn't they have taken like you know I was we -- I was talking about -- with another -- What about you know maybe taken and -- what about just just trying to and then set up on them all through high more -- percentage and that was a risk to thing."

" Though about that first off your offense isn't -- was moving all that well and was shaky at best of the best vehicle for it was a running game the second -- the second thing is you -- you had a rookie -- short -- in -- off of the field -- who had a bad -- earlier in the game -- but almost cost from a some points on the board to I was I've a feeling that I -- more additions Tom Coughlin was thinking. You know let's get a touchdown and let the chips fall where they -- especially because Chicago's offense really -- in the fourth quarter to hit the ball away from Astros mechanical yeah. You know in the -- actually want to on the -- we brought up to 41 about coaches -- about department's intelligence -- figured actively bad conditions. -- volatile slippery. There one particular kicked on third down and doing cases a properly Russell or at one place kill if you still had got most of that time left. You -- up to go ahead. -- conditions -- Chicago at one time all right but at that point the other one time vote solely because they didn't go to article some time and they could've but I don't feel in the way that game was going the -- what it was I mean pick I mean sorry I was shaky."

" Agenda and that I think that's what that spoke of absolutely -- was that was that another -- you know -- you know what was going on that art are you surprised at. Which one the giants were so conservative. That last drive before -- it's actually a 200 ruble rate yet to. Boris analysts -- it was great but. Now that that was a strange play call I was right again I thought there were moments a lot of games -- that it was a hold your breath want and how about the saints. Right that reference to Reggie why that he was he had gone out earlier he wasn't a 100% even and I don't know what I think -- pretty good coach. I don't know what he's thinking that. I really don't know that was a -- what was Joe Gibbs -- how about that you know it's one look it was probably give them that it was it is tough missed his entire coaching career. I I think there's a lot of on the mind of a guy and you feel hesitant to pile on books lineup as a head coach you've got to know. You -- know rule and you and I know there was an old rule where you could do that -- his head was in a different place maybe yesterday I don't know anybody done it shocked me a lot. A lot of people giving him that SS like that you'd been in the game was over all. Yet he did the medical exactly which is stop you can't you can't do you can't. You can't -- the head coach the team and have -- and worse was when he did the missing man formation before the game and and and Greg Williams you know was part of that with the defensive player somehow that was communicated to the head coach or at least his position was. He would know about that either that I thought made a bad situation for him even worse now you'll look really loop through as a head coach at it. The publisher I thought it was the opposite when NASA contract he's not awful well. The -- it was -- when it happens and Gwendolyn you know and indicate who I think to Q had the toughest part of the toughest role in that game. Andy frankly and and was the quarterback for the Redskins were chasing tail because I think he felt. The brunt of you know why we got to win one for a -- and it's on my shoulders to run this game while it's gonna start -- with me. And as the game began he would confidence things from movement but they weren't an Indians on the couch and that as the eagles the -- caught onto a lot of things now the pressure was getting to a they have fantastic pressure or Schobel wasn't too much all year ago -- Campbell doesn't equal that would be good quarterback. But that's just real well. And yet -- that was like the second week in Rowe were the problems occurred. -- in the deep sense really did all they did their job so the guys that worker. Working with every single to perform. Step stepped up and it's been at the fence that's been really just used or I mean you know that talent rip away from them. -- through injuries -- don't have their best -- the effort in the -- what was -- they don't have a lot of people on the front -- that they needed an -- Chris Kelsey and making Australia and other guy -- stepping -- the way they did win a -- I agree -- Friday commotion was -- it's nicer -- challenges of -- I -- not because I don't think their defense will try to be stout stand up and make plays there's still some pretty good. Talent that that Baltimore defects but it won't be enough. To offset the absence of office Kyle bowler. Is going to carry this office and makes a big place I don't I don't see and I and I think if you can't bring that -- the eagles during the week who voted to have hope in the game and make the game is tight as it once. They had a guy play -- I'm conscious whose -- we saw we saw what what. -- is all about you know more except for receptions yesterday but he was making most -- littlefield to -- the ravens and I -- not a pitcher of I don't think Todd -- point nine. Is Theo again expert questionable that we are okay well that's a bagel man you know a typical if you you -- third -- they're not making hay in any consistent way. Offensively I on the other thing too is it in that situation as if there's no Todd heap in his game. Well -- the receptions he's going to put up there in the field from war war enter the patriots a couple of games at the disappointment and ball was caught Losman it was interesting quick thing two from parts got 11 I asked them about the okay. Tell me about the equal blueprint discussion and he said we didn't mention eagles once in our film reviews like. But of them in the -- recess just. Just put about -- while the Sox if it's with the defensive -- the -- still scored they want to put down one carton present. There might be the all accountable to the basket appropriate you can have against the 11 -- I'd -- that it actually aren't"
