Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" Todd Brady joins us on the phone logical it's been seven and a half months -- we've talked on the radio Tom you missed just terribly -- yeah. -- big -- at. A Tom can't watch what should we. Be more worried about the Patriots -- three pre season mark thus far. Or your foot injury."

" Well. How much DB Norwood our guys really. I don't think anybody pleased with the way we've we've played obviously -- especially coach Belichick excelled. It is been a challenge in and we know and coach too -- roster so even -- none are too -- to real well. Q. Beat number retired about that so it's been shot and didn't go down there and with what -- feeling in the locker room when you loose. To motivate yourself to take it back to work and culture and so we're doing the things that we need to do and I think everybody. Now is it is definitely disappointed. But it does -- come we realize or try to make improvements and big games don't count. In the idea is to be ready sure when this feeling takes off and you. Then I look for Arnaud doesn't value all afford them and I've -- in the -- which -- east. You gotta you gotta foul -- just to win games. No matter what you play in a and I know the guys who have played him and wished they could've found ways to win out especially the quarterbacks so. Well I'll watch I'm making group and that's probably shoot sportscaster here out what kind of team you got and that. I'm glad they're obviously I'm glad they don't tell. And that. I think everybody's always so excited in the regular season come. Because like you like you magic team out there you have they're doing the pitcher instead. Bad. All of 5353. Guys who have earned the right to be on the scene."

" Tom do you think you can be ready for the Chiefs game if you don't take any snaps Thursday night against the Giants if you take no snaps in the pre season."

" I should do and I've I've. This is my. Would play a lot of football so. Grady play you don't play out you'd be I'd be ready no matter what it's all they -- to coach I was so I could play last week. And their bill coached coached that decision not to not deadly place sell. We'll see with a plan as to this week I'm not sure I'm calm on the open almost out there and and if I don't play Elton already for Kansas City so. I'll be I'll be very anxious and excited as some other question they implemented that well -- not."

" When will you -- when will coach decide whether you play Thursday or not the outcome."

" He definitely can't expect it usually doesn't go as well and so did two days of -- these. This part of the -- neat though -- I don't think he's such expectations forgot that they keep says prepare and expect to play in this. However long you play well if you don't -- your place so. Well I've I think all of us so prepared to play into -- down and -- decides differently than he does we prepare for that."

" What does and ask you how's your foot -- field. It won't -- won't blow you say this week when he asked you that."

" You can't defend big -- last week great. But it didn't hit the back -- the -- I'd love to play and bad. -- so definitely yes I don't think I have much credibility with him every aspect."

" You -- the the beauty of the NFL is from top to bottom the NFL pretty much controls everything I mean they have everything figured out -- pattern they have at all in a nice little package for presentation better than -- China in the Olympics exactly very much like -- in the Olympics but the one thing that they can't control and I understand the cliche that we have to say is it's part of the game. Are these injuries to star players that can devastate eighteen or at least to -- Shawne Merriman Osi Umenyiora. -- do you look at that aspect of of what did you do for a living and look at the vagaries of of -- just something so weird and -- can happen and really devastated team and think that just isn't the way this league ought to be structured."

" Yes I that fact. You know when you haven't salary cap as well. And then you lose your guys used to really I'd take guy and I apply I don't know whenever he makes whatever Shawn Marion -- but he was one of those guys and you apply and -- You're nine million dollars less -- less solid Emmy goes to those guys -- that much more so huge part of his game is. Injuries then I'll help -- achieve that is because -- yet I don't think any cheap booze. To a three of their best players and expect to compete. Every single week it's just -- watered so. It's in the face either when he didn't come out itself. It's see it's hard -- to rebound from that yet you eventually do room and that I think both won. Could talk about that other guys get opportunities. And then when those players who have been established come back you have more depth. And you have more confidence in the guys room we've never had a chance to play at the star player not get hurt. -- That tidbit match kind of wish."

" I wish someone I don't know -- do you do you feel like did did does the exhibition season. And clearly doesn't seem to matter to you now did he used to Tom when you were 26 point seven. Did you look at the back at the exhibition season the pre season as it as a meaningful time to known to his pitch your game in order."

" Yeah and I that they can use it as a way to gain confidence -- That this season and -- I think our coaches -- so way to live. Seemed trend to coach coach always says I don't know when you start this season is that it is good. It was probably would have been there done that and that you think they've been our problem and our gift. They usually end up being a problem in the in December and he's -- all of our best -- not accept the mistakes and August. Or early September because. You got to get those they've collected its not like all of sudden just take two weeks thought we come back and everything sorted -- you got it. Go look at those things done to improve -- And that if you you know you can't throw the ball and all -- why you think you can throw the ball on December. -- and that goes for a lot of things are being taught Archie himself. -- tried to make those improvements and thought that you can't -- bottom it's just you've got out of nowhere and which are two of the best you can make improvements. Just give assume that just wondering what she does start everything's going to be three out. And I know this team is. -- we've had a lot of comparison the last just being spent I sure is -- was incredible team but this year is Jean that they can. They're very different style of team and we're going to find. Different ways we don't have depth that. Certain position that we had last year and then other commission group more so -- that might have been shank last year. Maybe -- can -- this -- shake them let them several weeks Russia I mean maybe this thing weakness is that that's just throw the football season there's been. Debbie used to to score one more point than the other teams sell some blogs we'll keep that in mind I think I've. You know move forward. We just got to go out there and play with a lot of confidence and hope that we can scroll saw little point."

" Tom -- the side can you be specific what you mean when you say this is going to be a much different style football team can he can he put that into. Something we can grass here."

" I think we've we've lost dog we brought some some players so -- and then. Ever played there was some younger players. They -- and no accumulation in the strategy. They they were bad were trying to figure out what we've learned a lot this year and they know we're doing -- short -- went through some of those position that they -- We we've got -- always gonna move we gotta Q there's there's. Finger down the stretch that we really learned about ourselves that we don't want to continue to do so we've got to find different ways to our. Go to move the ball ostensibly without. Going back to our. You know rely on the things they -- think -- of people have had. Five months six months to figure out so well try to overall and I think that's the one great tradable achievement fellow coaches who. Always an especially good spell check Josh they've worked very hard to -- First itself evaluate ourselves and and don't say okay road -- they have worked. What they're still going to be part of the offense but we also -- Well also going to. Try to complement that was the most thing that we block from -- watch -- Well. If not going to be what you saw last year and it never Lewis both. I -- recognized power that I was trying to make conclusions slasher."

" personally for you do this offseason representing sea change in your approach maybe that includes an understanding of what it does in. Doesn't take -- officially prepare yourself for the season."

" Yeah I think that. God sake they're distant thing happening in my opinion -- probably am. You know took issue as far as in my life and as Tom what's. They took in the way that it's you know everybody in my life value of the -- military that that I need particular it is Delk. It just didn't allow me to be back just much of that will like Tom but I still. Knew that I would. What card to begin the special -- Guillen and I felt really good about that can't bad. I was -- more and appreciate them. You know it's gonna have to wait open it Thursday night out then then we'll see what happens okay Casey."

" It or Tom what do you had won the Super Bowl would have that you completed that perfect season nineteen you know would this team as a team I mean not just as individual. Would this team be as motivated as hungry would you feel the same way about this team. As -- heads in the regular season at it as you do now."

" Yeah all of a night. Well really -- a good thing about that that last game just. We we can't control the expert attitude preparation that we put into that game and and the disappointing is we we we celebrated their I'm not feeling coach. Coaching mister Kraft the -- and gave us you know put the rings that -- championship regular beautiful way even. Don't have very good there we -- five to sixty you know opening woke up the regular season. That was really cool because when you think about last year we help them -- would disappointment. Obviously. And I don't know what -- reflect at all Russian loomed. It's that there -- a lot of sacrifices were made in other a lot of sacrifices and it was should be proud of what we accomplished in. There -- what I'll bet they're assist there are one game that we -- play up to abandon what can you do approach our best but the one that counted most we didn't and and that's -- right to be enough so would you accept did you move forward that child do better. And that. I think you're great you're the first pitch and I'm glad we know what I've got to learn from last year. And and move on and realize. Then -- team red. When when the when mistakes so the bit about I would. We had twelve left Ben and we did have for a long time actually do have freaking games last year and -- I don't -- a lot of lot of guys grew up really quickly our young players. Now those guys are going to be gone into roller hockey what they play a much bigger role now that. Don't look at how they have no effort or junior. So hopefully creates more depth for us more understanding. And both of whom can use -- tour events this season."

" Don't give any theories as to why recent history indicates that teams who lose in the Super Bowl. Say the following year any psychological or physical or combination reasons."

" Well god -- be well. Yes I learned a few let's move in the a few years ago. When you went to England Super Bowl but a lot of things happen and when you have free agents they traded to become much more attractive the other keeps. And those coaches become much more attractive to the other -- And it's gone from there and then I think some -- and if you lose maybe. They've been different -- and -- in the Super Bowl and now we're on tour last year -- didn't want to play didn't. Yeah and you can you can look at you can as a Super Bowl champ we -- in this situation it. You know if they can move that -- both want to play in both there. That 99%. You know if you lose that last 1% you don't win the game so. Both good. I don't think you have the -- complacency which just that you just don't know. You'd think that it's going to be this same -- that's a good -- just. You -- actually say code is going to go out there and it's going to be the same between a lot of confidence that I lost -- have caught that ball off the yeah and that and then you realize all know -- I know up front like 2002 it was like. All -- or behind we thought we -- we thought we can just. Okay can you not that everything was going to be this same -- That's just not there works the best."

" Did did you ever think Brett Favre was actually retired."

" Didn't I didn't I don't watch them I I just press conference and retarded but there is no -- her mother. So huge didn't know you might go play golf for the next court you're either going to. We love playing the game the trust somebody threw a no look again as much as he does finish you still feel like you could do okay I got there and do."

" What what was your reaction when you found that it was coming to your division did you. Did you say oh cool that I get the play against Barbara did you say all you know farms in the division we going to see him twice a year that's trouble."

" Yet they've tried at first I thought maybe you know LPG maybe -- comes -- so. Yeah. I think -- run as quarterbacks ever place so. We will look at the Jets -- be child you have to be that you got watching that good -- appreciate what he's playing he's playing really well -- I didn't surprise you because you can use global player. -- in the division I know we've only played against them twice in my career so. Played against him twice this year should be a lot of -- And give -- a lot of energy you audibly pushed. And but yes have made a lot of improvements and -- made a lot of changes that. Another into our division is going to be a tough division and Miami are similar night they're they're much improved so a lot of teams that are made improvements this year especially our division."

" You watch you watch exhibition football games you actually do -- I watched them. Boy you do."

" they don't bit NFL network can Lamar Odom. Replace."

" Tried watching last night that the Colts and and and bills and and Lucas Oil fielded it it was just boring man it was dull."

" Yeah well -- watch -- much -- more steady itself."

" Yeah its obvious that the Bill Belichick is not a pleasant person after two game losing streak now you're looking at three. Suffice to say you expect a little and screaming today or tomorrow."

" We -- again on Saturday pretty good yeah and that. Yeah we just kind of so we went so when he loses that the the these. I don't think she's just very frustrated that well he's he's on the practice -- going to translate until he gave Joe all attack itself. He goes over three and indeed he -- the practice field and then wet and who brought that performance. -- only goes -- relic from one day weeks so. You gotta do we get out there that once I know when you don't put the way we approach. -- it's -- it's hard for him to third pick to take that so. Yeah. Do you expect from the rest lower pitch all -- and so lucky and I hope this is the week that we didn't turn up."

" I'd scale of one to ten how's the -- who would you rank it."

" I'm still in Madrid and so very good on the open net. I going to say I'm open Alicia Qatar last week and they did kidnap them. They do this think they initially come -- come out there that are not not bad. I'm trying to our turn at the post actually I can't and and is -- minute wait I know how. Did you make an improvement there's no doubt about it."

" in the truck the international C except struck that's for self -- on what you want for the truck. -- Archie -- big international truck the Julia that doesn't look like good that Tom Brady can definitely media took a monster truck."

" No myself I know and so did make."

" But ya so that we read it in the -- Yeah yeah I guess -- lines -- Yeah. Is that not true doubts and all that is an -- subsequent -- you were a selling this big monster truck it's. Real high end thing like -- like 40000 pounds yeah. Yeah didn't and we saw citizens seem like it typical population -- political will what do you tell -- that Tom what what did you buy that."

" Belichick and no doubt try to extraction don't think it's -- at. I let it -- on our back it was the right it got bad. We'll talk to you next week -- hopefully you'll love and I what I had played a quarter do we get that you talk about your performance on the field. Yeah and that attitude all right thanks double talk and create an -- already with the doesn't tell him."
