Adam Schefter

" Welcome back Dennis and Callahan our number three it's Thursday our friend from the Seattle network -- a -- after joins -- on the ball was sorting out of how are your."

" John and Jerry happy do you do you that we need everybody and I cannot believe you guys are actually back to -- at -- get another week off that's unbelievable to --"

" Adams these guys here they now know what you look like I've always known but now they say hey that's guy. I would just doesn't look on every station your very best suit you very dapper on the air the other night."

" Well that's that's I didn't know this year and I don't have very many it's usually bad anyone that was the -- my number one -- probably. A few feet away already you know well and it's going to be on a program like that."

" Hey it is rare that a game of that magnitude with that kind of ramp up and that kind of build up actually lives up to an exceeds the height. But that was pretty damn good game for a sixteen regular season football game."

" That little tale about that inevitably always remember and noted -- there -- records and Brady in the record from mosque in. And sixteen -- all that stuff like that that the Palestinian patriots seller makes the --"

" I know what's gonna say I agree with you go -- When Rodney Harrison made a stupid penalty Belichick his ass off and yank them out of the game."

" There are different but gala is the giants had a first single from this great. And -- up I think at that point five points. And and I -- in some guy comes running up like -- thirty screaming at -- point is that with spell check. Any point think -- billions Thomas who's playing total line of scrimmage he yelling at him. Move up and up until I'm 7170 married any keeps wonderful. Excuse but taking another step to reduce. -- run total right towards the corner of the end sort of displaced and another step and Belichick begin to keep pushing him. Peacekeeping like demolishing them as the ball is snapped Eli Manning and Eli Manning showed up. Most of the -- 217 to despite -- the clutch -- is motioning Adalius Thomas."

" You read that really interest to pick as part of the 97 hour pregame show you have Belichick. Wired for sound the practice idiot that real fascinating exchange -- haven't Adalius Thomas called the defensive plays and -- another column on the -- call another session you know like testing the new guys soon. That was from a practice earlier in the season if not the pre season right."

" That's exactly right -- Mike for the game on Saturday night as well which. That's that is type materially to see on a footnote I have to ourselves in those great video piece that they make it teams the players that they don't that's the kind of thing that. Both have forever nothing will be seeing Belichick might have on that addressed do you like admitted to going to connect you'd still a year. I shouldn't say you know the trick with the ball -- not a big -- can vote but the thing. So -- played in Europe."

" Pay -- do you have Adam a both for coach of the year."

" If -- I don't -- until whenever I want to work and effort that worked I had to give up my. Vote on the whole fame board -- I was deported there for six years it gave it my AP vote if I had a vote I don't -- auction. And eight -- to me it's not an issue okay is diplomatic coach fixed. That's sixty adult. And to me you know despite -- thing it. Active for the first game I don't think. -- any effect this year become delusional and naive I just don't think it affected them an assistant we talked about it affect Eddie affect them. As a motivational -- ever does that chip on their shoulder as proving points for them but to me do it. Aspect of the they have inside knowledge to speculated politician I don't believe that."

" Yeah by its very definition does sixteen and know garner bowl vote in Germany the point that it's almost like if it's automatic 68 if you were fifteen and one would you consider you know McCarthy or Romeo Cornell or Jack Del Rio or somebody else."

" You're up you're I would absolutely actually -- six you know. Just put Hewitt any untouchable class at at an untouchable level and McCarthy Ed wade and at some of these other coaches Tony Dungy tremendous change having great seasons okay. Broke you to look at coach of the year and it's sort of like when. Michael Jordan came back to the post and Steve Kerr and George Bush for a drive into the game and Jeb Bush to return to speak -- Ubiquitous -- Michael let Pete come back from you know his baseball trades who did they start -- because said Gerard as a general. Rule whenever there's a statue of you that's at the stadium you start right away. -- sort of -- to develop a degenerate into."

" And it's like Tom -- points at twenty years from now you shouldn't have to look back to the sixty you know season saint. -- who will Renault one."

" Hey don't I mean come on give me a break it that it happens once every 35 years and I'm -- But actually my coach of the outdoor."

" Hey you today we find out the ball Baltimore and Atlanta have asked permission to speak to Josh mcdaniels here in New England you've said it to us before that he's the top of the list this offseason. T get the sense that he makes the -- he's 31 years old he just started shaven do you think he will. Do you Dickey has real interest in one or both of those two jobs."

" I I would guess yes okay. Now IMO the mind just talking to people who finally they had no -- sled -- that is telephone that. I seem to think believe it or not fit that -- brought up my pick in the more hot guy right now. It's usually gets right there with them and -- in Miami thus far cameras I think everybody's expecting. That would leave us with three -- ecstatic could be more as the plus okay at some point. Tony Dungy could decide to walk away after any season. Mike Holmgren is on the clock -- gives them like any one of those three guys -- walk at any point malicious hit this three openings Atlanta Baltimore Miami. I think chasing that's going to get -- job I think Tony soprano is going to get a job. And I think judgment Davis -- a legitimate chance if that's their job I think those -- the three guys right now that. They're the top of there was just an out to deal should be SS -- C a -- regain -- Jason Garrett at number one and number two and the one guy that I underestimated there was talk desperado we've got a lot of respect penalty."

" And we would we would I guess extrapolate the the hiring of Ireland out of the cowboys organization. As to and his affinity for at least some of the people that organizations soprano or Garrett. Might be -- guy at Miami."

" I think if -- were given his choice I think Tony soprano would be used to I think it. Did you violent you know it's funny compelling issues tired of people finally -- that's that has been done for for for days I -- excitement question stiff formality. And you just wonder if it's just so work I think with Thomas Brown I don't know it just that bat I know that you know that a close. Parcells likes his people that's brought -- there that he's got a great reputation. And you just have to think -- wonders in mean he's predestined to go to."

" Well when is bill -- going to coach again and where."

" I don't say -- unless he's completely pulling everybody I don't think he'll be back until 2008 and at that point. And here is the flip side to the fact that there are not a lot of leadership now that they have a quiet year. Black say that stepped on average there about six point seven coaching moves per year if you go back over the last 101520 years. Okay and if there -- three this year. I can promise you that it should've been not a -- I promise you maybe more. And if there are always three this year well we -- right now star reciting the coaches on the clock for overweight it's very simple. Top Koppel will be in the box. John fox should be on the clock. And knows right there will be key situations that would be I think. Appealing to book our -- gets to walk away at any time that would be a situation where things -- take. Would you register to accomplish Ramirez for. So I was an -- options he's going to coach again. My guess is going to be so -- eastern seaboard and my guess is it'll be somewhere sometime after that she's in one there are eight. Plethora of --"

" Adam it's it's pretty clear there have been a lot of swings and misses for falcons owner Arthur blank and and now that he's on his worldwide jet setting tour. When he takes his gulfstream in the Green Bay and then on the Indianapolis that is on the Dallas that is on the Philadelphia in an -- Rossi goes looking for a a head coach is is he welcomed with open arms and is -- job people want or by and large people strengths that's really a bad situation to get into what what what's the feeling when Arthur -- knocks on your door."

" two of the people they stuck into yesterday and that was my paycheck question -- like okay hold them. Are a great situation because they're all on playoff teams -- and I sit. Would you go right now to Atlanta I mean is something that you -- and the answer that I got was university saint absolutely highly intriguing -- report now. He's got a reputation of being a little too and talk for a lot of people's tastes. But the main cares he's passionate he's going to give you whatever resources you need to win he's a classy guy. And he will in time turnaround an organization okay now he's very -- run here okay where Michael Vick like him. And then Bobby Petrino like him. And Bill Parcells liked him and always people lot of support now where you know I would have in my collecting all the television -- don't believe."

" His wife told them she liked the -- that assists. Ended the year and has a good look."

" Why do you think that he's going to -- he's going to make. Moved here that will help this franchise and and if you want to go to Josh mcdaniels and he offers just ridiculous the job -- just ridiculous in Mexico but that doesn't pick it that you are too like dissect what's."

" Domestic -- hate him as much enhancement of have been there tries to steal some of those. -- it's such as -- you lock Sosa on them."

" Plus you know not going to division and -- so blue -- about that what I -- This well I think that there are out the status of interest what did you -- expected to shake -- that problem."

" That picture of -- do now now now. Is Mike Martz personality keeping them out of the San Francisco jobs you think of San Francisco to try and a coordinator offense and be. Developing young quarterback which is what Mike Martz does best. He'd be your logical guy but apparently he's not the man."

" Does not demand there and he's not demand their -- ownership and somebody. Has told ownership something about Mike Martz that they do not like here I don't know what that is but he's not to -- coordinator. And others that were made DB just together ever -- red they're red now I -- Do you think of anybody else that would be better match up well I don't Chan Gailey. The -- data nice career that would not be my -- to open Alex but. -- What's all the different about it. Just got to look at what power behind great. Well I'm sure he never going to listen to my bosses and maybe that their clothes they can't beat place."

" If you're if you're Belichick of the patriots who worries you more heading into the AFC playoffs. I think I guess that nobody words the right -- the right. Old bags -- to jags who presents a more formidable task."

" Percent of the charges that can deport -- most."

" In Foxborough -- sure you know weren't crazy lets root -- as -- turtle. He'll turn in the mud Foxboro."

" I could say there's there's a general level of concern that everybody's been anointed them already. As you know this great team of all time and there have been tremendous and chances are they'll continue to be transport what you say hypothetically -- We see this happen I would never received an epidemic team. It has had a regular season quite like the patriots precious -- in -- first or second round that they play. They do get upset. People forget about them just like -- charged last year. Okay and for all the record that -- at -- all the attention that they attracted it will all -- Passing they're really -- you know they. Who cares yet okay that's all right -- sixteen a team that that got upset the playoffs at all and it would it's that 68 our team right. The what -- want that delta over to -- neighborhood clear that up about. So trust me usually general level of concern and anxious -- within the organization about the teams they get this is. It is not going to be. An easy road to get to mr. ball every pitcher be challenging to get -- to win it and."

" More more challenging to get there at that because the AFC's better. That opponents on."

" Yeah plus would want you to Glendale they're playing conditions to veto the -- that out sensed just development. Development so you get to Glendale via a bit of bullets were -- prosperous but. Did you get a tactical beat a team might -- actual jaguars and and the colts. Well wait you know I I think you know Jacksonville and Indy I think they're salivating at the championships and not everybody does right now. Everybody is dying to play would have. Not because there are immediately beatable but everybody wants the chance to knock off the --"

" You got a loose if you lose everybody loses again -- the team that did it at a -- reported to the wild card weekend and if I would its value. That one of the underdogs is going to upset the favorites would be the trendy pick Washington would be Pittsburgh the giants or Tennessee. -- to pull the upset this weekend."

" The fact you were talking about Pittsburgh point deficit to -- is it is our home yeah. I I don't quite get that I mean I know that the spokesman saying. Aaron stricter defensive there Willie parker has problems that and they injuries all that. But don't explode get home what do you look tickets to exploded at home -- so that would have played the patriots. We need you that's."

" It's it's one point that plan and they got. Killed by -- on two weeks ago and their and their much where where."

" Assistant -- Pittsburgh ended it -- twice and rich in Pittsburgh. -- if you are topic it's right -- it just me just --"

" You know what the giants did you a huge advantage that's all -- favor of the gave -- a great game in week seventeen they gave you great show for the biggest audience. And for that they get. They gotta pay the price this week in Tampa they they have no chance no chance in the playoffs they left it all out in the field there Saturday night. In my opinion and."

" You know what does that -- about the giants Sam Madison got hurt did tonight Charlotte has got hurt did that they are you missing Barrett wore Mathias Kiwanuka. Some cherished dervish that. They are beaten down team right now and it is tough for a team to go play two times general like the way they did I think on Saturday to -- march. Energy -- stadium was so electric. And it was such a great environment they played about as close they could have played -- that laurel. That they had late in the third early in the fourth quarter re election that terrible a deception to Ellis Hobbs. Who who owned the -- seven yet basic thing of giants stadium Ellis ops. But yeah I I'd hate to judge -- come -- play against arguments I someday I'd be disappointed I'd be surprised that they did Woolsey general -- but the."

" Patriots destroy teams they ruin that will live that's what that's why that that we."

" That's good you know what that's a great point here is that you know what that's it that's -- that's. That's a great point duration."

" You're an eleven week have to play in the Yankees teams of foreign lemon that the three games to be the Super Bowl -- Where we're at Carolina saint Louis and Philadelphia guns and they lost."

" You know I can't argue that you have got a guy I cannot -- CNN's Beckham -- Rescinding my giant stick from the Internet anybody at a -- real pleased. I only get sort of record like hey I'm pretty particular games to begin with. But yeah I I I get your point."

" Our Super Bowl opponent for the patriots in Glendale."

" I think degree of hypocrisy duke I'd that's that's a topic I think that. Dallas is a different team without TO he may be back better at least be fully healthy attended they've stumbled into the postseason. I think Greenberg is going to -- you'll ever -- they play would tell us November 20 ninth and I I expected to be able to do it again and just something told me. That Green Bay is the team here but again not a finished kicking game today Jimenez tried to chased down --"

" And you do that very well -- I don't -- I don't -- that -- out of except our friends at the end of the network -- about talked it next week after wild card weekend runs its course welcome -- guys happy and thanks -- good news"
