" Peter -- has brought -- you by 1800 mattress the most comfortable mattresses on -- Are just a phone call away at 1800 mattress called like kick off for deliberate by the post game show. 1800 MA TT RES leave off the last desperate savings on line at mattress dot com good afternoon Peter. Our great thanks this is model one of my favorite weekends in the year."
" There really I just wish there were four games not to bet you don't want the -- at the previous two weeks are my favorite two weeks because. He had four games here. For the games they clog seriously gotten that all areas. But there -- this is really going to be fun because these two games really ought to be fun and it won the decisions that. People are underestimating in the New England -- does that actually Diego's -- best each and and football over the last eight weeks. There are only allowed twelve points a game basically over half -- season of football including the game last week so. I mean I I still think the patriots are going to handle him and I don't think it'll be you know afford it two minute warning in the fourth quarter game but I think it changed -- present some problems -- because -- presents matchup problems you know."
" well Philip Rivers I in this game."
" I think Michael -- talking Norv Turner -- the -- Fred parking Wednesday he said that his goal. Was that on Friday that Philip Rivers take a few snaps. At their last meeting for practice and then try -- specially to see if he can move around in the pocket. And -- make some throws but I and I said to -- so what happens if he can't. And he says well he said if he can -- Sunday going to go as there's these citadel. So obviously I wanted to practice but he says if he's okay Sunday when he does that detested -- ago. So I think it's one of those things that might get that he probably will go. Michael but he won't have her you know the movement skills that he normally would and and I wouldn't be surprised at some point it's fairly early in the game possibly that we would see Billy Volek."
" It doesn't sound is here any as though your anywhere near Scott confident about Antonio Gates."
" I don't think it's only a gate that can play and maybe might it might try. But he was totally effective last week he you know if you if one your feet is if you. Can't run I mean this guy eight you know he's got what probably is you know six or eight week injury -- always -- So you know what they're trying to do is basically scratch statement through it but in order didn't have a whole lot of confidence that dictates -- play this week."
" How do you see that game playing out I mean we we all yes and sometimes we're completely wrong but. Just when you analyze his game what type of game UC."
" I think that Ted Cottrell is -- sellout try to get Tom Brady. Again I mean Ron Jaworski had a great stat and NFL matchup show on ESPN a few weeks ago Horry said Brady. Is that most believe is lips are higher percentage of his passes been than any quarterback is and and still I'm on the plays were he is blitz he's still a tremendous player he's still a reading over under intense so I'm not sure that that's that's really going to work but I think what you've seen we've seen San Diego -- I think he'd seen team that. Tries to maximize matchup advantages. We have a couple of quick linebackers Shawne Merriman Chauncey Billups I think now that one of the big questions that I have Michael. What kind of what kind eight of health is is Jamaal Williams yeah he's one of the best run stoppers in football. Yes if he is eager limited. Or -- in an -- remember the last 67 weeks of the year Albert Haynesworth every week you say. Well played -- week -- march and ending wasn't really Albert Haynesworth. If he's not really Jamaal Williams. I -- you know 132 year date for Laurence Maroney and the patriots just playing -- well keep them away from the chargers."
" Conventional wisdom always says that when the weather's bad that means you gotta run the ball it doesn't actually. Coincide -- the patriots of operated in the snow bowl game here Brady threw the ball 52 times. In the Tennessee playoff game with the twenty below -- he threw the ball 41 times he's going to throw Sunday no matter what."
" All bets are off with Tom Brady right now he's playing quarterback bigger than any quarterback to ever play the position or. Or as good as any quarterback who ever played the position I mean guy. Eighth you know and elapsed in the last two games it's complete 81% of his passes against two pressure two pressure defense -- Eric teams that egg that they wanted to wanted to pressure and and you know the one I think I would say right now about Brady you're you're absolutely right deal unless it's really windy. And I think the forecast -- strong tendency you know like over twenty miles an hour early unless it's really windy. You're still going to see him throw the ball whenever he wants to. The point that was me you know about about morality is in a playoff game. I think Bill Belichick looks at every game until Belgian is going to look at every game as an individual and bikini like. And if he sees that. ED you know that being that the chargers are having a real problems stopping Iran. That -- is going to eat any keeper in the ball until chargers proved that they can stop."
" In just a crib some stats from your column today on SI dot com. In the last two games Brady has completed 82 point 9% of his passes. For 618 yards five touchdowns no interceptions and two sacks and seventy pass attempts. -- just adding further fuel to your fire about the level that he's playing right now."
" I mean considered -- mean first of all the giants were selling out everything to try to get to Brady if first of all they'd bother him at -- times they can -- at key times. But it didn't he can't even remotely effective -- an entity. You know Jacksonville had sort of the same game plan that yeah they they didn't want to sell out any. -- everybody blitzing."
" Maybe eat you don't want to make sure they had enough guys that cover. But to meet I think Brady. It is you know we say that's let some quarterback decency until months and it's any normal splits -- if you want to blitz them. You know I think he eat like he lapsed at that go and do it eight he doesn't care and and I think the diplomatic about him. And what he's doing right now is that he's got a comfort level was so many guys and -- I was in Foxborough on Wednesday. And it was so we interest each year Matt light talk about Brady about how well you know I -- on. -- we're talking about is his coolness and everybody knows there's an element anything I don't know but he said you know. That -- when -- came in Baltimore was down to not cut in time. And he got level that he didn't know that there was going to be you don't pass interference call that you and -- split late in the fourth quarter he said he just got up. He had know emotion whatsoever you know for all he -- the perfect season was over and no emotion whatsoever didn't have any emotion when he found out this. He had another plane now. Just threw the ball perfectly to. In the corner of the end zone on one that is most beautiful touchdown passes of the year and to me -- Brady. You know now and he's won anything in the clutch times and yet that'll take anything away from Payton inning. But the -- been Grady has the makings for five years. Article is that that meaning did -- in the last two minutes of that deep last week and so I just. And again and I'm definitely not single point meetings meeting immediate penalties. 70% of great amounts -- all of Spain and that. Part of Brady -- and I really really admiring I was disability check yet at any point of the game. To play like it's its first after the game you cannot count by --"
" Peter you said you're Foxboro Wednesday Wednesday was also the day that. Randy Moss held not one but two press conferences talking about a situation happened in Florida. What's the story with this story."
" Greatness story is simply said she said. Situation where -- obviously had some sort of physical contact with a woman. And I don't know what that physical contact is."
" You don't resulted in her. Finally he motioned for temporary restraining order now. I think it's one of those things that were really not given know anything about I think for the next couple weeks -- know that. But their losses attorneys trying to get this put off -- the end -- the -- many. May be able to do it may not be able to do that whether he can -- I mean we've I was taught in the you know people down in Foxborough the other day one of them. One of the points that that I feel strongly about is. I'm not trying to pass this off. Or minimize it or anything like that but the only thing really because the legal process have to take its course the only thing really. It's ask yourself is okay what effect is this going to have a rainy march right now -- what effect does this going to have on the patriots my belief is that. When this team this scheme is clean and it is schemes that tightly knit group 1015. No matter what happens internally they have an activist on HBO the -- they have agreed a against the world quality that they can call on at any time and I think that's what they'll do the -- this week that your bunch of guys. Already have come up -- basically -- back because that's that's what happens -- a team that's weapons particularly a team. It happened after the spiky thing to happen on other situations spitz is a very very tightly knit. That is basically going to he's going to you don't react against outsiders. Very very strongly and so that -- when negative things happen and I think that's what's going to happen in this case I think it'll have absolutely no -- on Sunday."
" For those patriots fans who want to have something to fret about on Sunday they've lacked on but the patriots defense because the offense is so otherworldly. It has been our contention that patriots defense is underrated. In fact we would suggest that of the four teams left this weekend the patriots might have the best defense of the four."
" Well that is an interesting point to make an and that's that is the debatable topic I think on some days they are. But I also think that on some days and in. Willis McGahee -- this you know that power running game can work against them I'm not sure that is exactly what the chargers are. But I like these pitchers are going to come out letter to Michael turner Ladainian Tomlinson. You know they're going to try to place and smashed up. It -- angry and -- now permit which will bring in Jacobs -- recovery and exceed it that would bring in Jacobs yesterday. And -- eat part is very very flattering league about the patriots run defense said he did he you know you don't get it decreases with them they're not exactly what you see on film. You know late changeup which is sort of a classic Belichick -- so. I mean I wouldn't be wouldn't be worrying too much about the patriots defense right now where patriots --"
" You live in the New York curious on the shore in your hometown of people in your area are going crazy over the giants and other -- a team of destiny and Eli Manning has matured. But how do you see this game playing out Green Bay Peter between the giants --"
" Well you know Michael I think a lot of that depends we couldn't. And I forget what we talked about last week when when we talked about you know the Packers the Seahawks but. You know let's let's be honest could anybody have foresee -- Patrick Kerney. Having era tackles you're -- quarterback pressures I mean. That's dumpster well at this time a year you have to think to yourself what kind of field as they're going to be on Sunday. Kind of putting -- they're going to be for Michael straight into those -- the second best. Eat eat you know the second yeah -- you know best pass rush team in football last week. Maybe the Seattle Seahawks did nothing against far couldn't get -- and then you know footing was terrible for -- for the most part so and this week. I mean I get into my hotel room last night in Green Bay and I turned on the rerun of the local news at 10 o'clock. And the weather guys went into the weather maps and and the ears it's a winner Appleton North America and up in the upper left hand corner. Period yellow not. Okay which I think is in the northwest territories is my Canadian geography serves me correctly call but he he. -- yellow night it was 27 below zero last night as they did this mean you said that the here it's coming here. And he said now it's not going to be that cold but windshield it's definitely going to be east in the -- so. How does that affect somebody every single person in this game on Sunday will be playing the coldest game of his life. It's going to be -- The field is going to be slippery what's going to work my gut feeling is there's gotta be another running during and bring in -- tight."
" Given the four options that are remaining is the best scenario for the National Football League for a Super Bowl match up. The patriots in pursuit of perfection. -- against Brett --"
" I think it's the patriots in pursuit of perfection against either team obviously our. For national audience would be fantastic but in my opinion is the giants win this game all of a suddenly becomes an derail. Again becomes -- east is compelling for this reason. The giants were a possession -- 81 Eli Manning interception away from beating the patriots the last time they play. American knows that there's potential for very very good game. In the patriots meet the giants cause there'll be all the hype about eight. The other meeting in this game so but having said that I think you're right. I think he would clearly would want though you know the you know -- one more shot for Brett -- to win. Eat eat eat -- you know if it isn't it. Indeed that's what Madison -- would -- Light but but I would maintain a lot since -- eagle against somebody Roger Goodell go to bed Sunday night with a very happy smile on --"
" Peter I'm going to get into some of these front office moves and coaching moves. Jason Garrett is going to be the highest paid assistant coach in the National Football League what's inside story there."
" Insights very very simple. Jerry Jones has every intention of making it the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. But he can't help Internet because it would violate their -- ruling certainly can't. Could anything it -- into into a contract it's that. I believe that that could happen as early years following the 2008 season and might have been two years down. In addition. Jason Garrett will still have the right next year to go out seek his fortune to go to another in coaching get out if the cowboys have a good offense has seen that once again he. He will be the number one guy along with bill cower every team's radar screen I don't need to coach. Next year's heat -- this year. There are only going to be five -- six coaching changes after having only seven last year I think next year it'll be a very busy year coaching front so. I think tactic that. That's one of every -- there wasn't an ideal job out here this year and I think the one other thing to do to watch Michael or."
" I was Tony Dungy recording this on HBO on Wednesday night that there. The colts have determined that -- in succession twinge at first announced yesterday. There in succession plan in place whether it's next week whether it's next year Jim Caldwell. Is going to be the next coaching the Indianapolis Colts. I would I would say about a month ago -- don't -- 90% certainty coached his last game. I don't the company closed in yesterday's said that Tony is at a very very difficult time. Making his decision that is very interesting dynamics at work here they were -- recall. -- Mercedes personal plea. -- and to Tony Dungy please come back. Pretty opening art stadiums in Egypt for one more year and I think it whether it said it I don't know whether it is important. It is that actually spelled out that you are -- colts little support Connie Dunn cheese work. It is in his private sector charity work his prison ministries the other I think he wants to do with the rest of his life. They just want to compete starting in 2009 not 2008 I think that. That -- me to some degree Tony Dungy. -- the potential benefit. A coach for one more year because it'll keep what happened in America they'll make it possible for him to do a lot more. I would resources. -- start in 2009 instead of starting this year but again I think he smacked them very clearly our offense right now at least he wasn't there yesterday."
" I'm Peter another thing we asked you about last week with Tom -- drop top record was supposed to be the leading guy for the job and Atlanta did Packard take -- name out of the out of consideration or was to -- drops so impressive. That Arthur blank said hey this is our --"
" I don't know why this happened Michael but Arthur blank did not really like Tom Hector junior very much he he I don't I don't know what what the specifics are here not found out but. I think he loose blown. I didn't know this was this was done. He didn't interview Thomas Demitra face to face eat interviewed him teleconference you know video teleconference. And I'm told that -- his current instance in seriousness and weekly daily. Touching of college football programs his knowledge his closeness to coaches his ability to. Go out to lunch in Iowa City with Kirk parents capability to. You know you don't go to go have go have dinner with the news with Pete Carroll. At all in all the big name coaches to be able to get the real inside scoop on what happens in. You know with college players because. Thomas' views you're simply the patriots to deal in that the only -- keep getting better is to keep putting players in the pipeline. And that was the fact that that Arthur blank thinks that what Bob Kraft Bill Belichick and Scott pioli and and the patriots organization have done this so special I think he wanted to piece of it."
" R to got answer this question before we let ago why does -- continue to call this team the patriot's. --"
" Good question I noticed that I've talked on Kuznetsova it's probably going to be. Questions for her -- journalist and IP that I did not know the answer."
" You know well I was talking on the DL about it earlier I interviewed him in 2003 and he said it about fifteen times during the interview. I didn't ask him so the next time you talk to him Peter."
" A lot call the team the patriarch does wander. I let it only -- this -- record deal exclusively only appreciate that he will tucked -- next week thanks enjoy greenback. So I don't argue there."
" That is that Peter King our connection to the National Football League reporting live from green without an exclusive series that brought to you by 1800 mattress order my kick off for delivery. By the post game show. Dialed 1800 MA AT TRE ES leave off the last that's for stating"
