" Welcome back our number three Dennis and Callahan Patriot Monday the quarterback our -- on first resides and now it's Matt Cassel Matt Cassel is calling us on the eight TNT hotline good morning -- how Mario. Eric -- 15 and now you're stepped in for Tom Brady on some bigger step at a for Tom Brady this morning your long eight year wait to finally starting game ends next Sunday I'm guessing all things considered. You have to be the definition of of of mixed emotions this morning --"

" There's no doubt you know you don't or you gotta like -- or have been here go down but Hendry. The part of the business unfortunately. Got to step up Enrico. When your number ought to be ready."

" Can you talk us sort of how your your brain works in those minutes as you're getting ready to go in the fact of the matter is Randy fumbled the pass. So he's about to run right all all field you have a couple of minutes to going to catch your breath get to -- warm up and get out there. -- those minutes helpful or hurtful would you do. Perhaps might have been better off just to run out on the field or did you enjoy the time and utilize that time to get ready."

" Argued you know you'd probably get knocked out like that in. You don't really -- about of the orbiter ordered every summer and knocked out. -- but I'd be shaken up on the -- but the threat. And do pitchers when they're out a little bit. For a little longer out there so. Where ordered all art after the adrenaline pump immediately they're they're. I don't know we're going to get the ball well you're right on the field but strap on the on the great -- And -- called -- that we did lose the ball and -- that aren't really settled myself refocused. In different."

" Is it harder or easier this week that now the -- you know you're starting in Europe practicing all week preparing to play a full game. Is that more difficult than just common in -- Reynolds all put and you just. Kind of -- and it is is the an emergency. Replacement like you were yesterday."

" you you know I think the operator -- will definitely help. Very certain courses -- given game week. Probably the number two or backward in the -- and so law -- jeopardy but he prepared like I was that are mainly mental well. Are probably more physical reps this week and you're prepared and they're great noted there."

" always a different the game plan. For Matt Cassel as opposed to -- Tom Brady. "

" Or -- record increases you know if something -- perhaps it is ordered a year ago when we -- both right. And move forward and -- of the game wherever it in her deviate from. What was up in the wherever they've all let the old was he -- the the place is not over pretty. Though I'd go and there are -- on the what book are well. Whether -- Crop or product that in."

" Matt what percentage of snaps does the back up get verses the starter during an average your usual week of of work getting ready for game."

" Argue -- start picked out by a person while of course we. And that's it because where were the limited -- of rough and you know because of the premier -- Limited limited number of our -- if -- weren't so accurate -- A lot of physical out there in the back or back on the -- really the road and try to purpose is the."

" How often do you get to -- Randy Moss does it seem like you had a little chemistry there not just on the long one on the first series but the touchdown passes well. I mean that was a classic Randy -- Moss catch in it and a pro that perhaps only Randy. Quote to a place that may be only Randy -- to catch."

" Right you know our work for a great throughout camp and and -- air oh you just go out there you'll react in certain -- there. I know that you'd have you worked hard to open or -- our football this worried now. He was it would -- well yesterday."

" Matt was there ever time these last eight years whether it was Palmer Leinart or Brady. That you setting quiet employers and you know I'm not ever ever ever going to get a chance to play."

" Computer. -- drug -- get back on protect my ability period no well. It's that along -- you know compound just her appearance in the continued put it worked our. But there's we believe in the -- on the if there was -- the regular straight for the just read it you cook it works of art and you never know that opportunity. Is -- work on the awoke mr. -- McEnroe got a couple of obligated lately gave up were beaten by a lot of points you know be complete. And then little about and -- their first order pool -- after that are most importantly he."

" Did you get a chance to talk to Tom at at the half or after the game."

" No where I haven't talked probably -- what. The we really haven't talked yet we'll throw it out from there."

" I think I know the answer this question in -- probably going to spout the company line but do you think Matt that that yesterday when you're in that game and next Sunday when you visit the Jets you might be just a little bit more prepared. Had last season -- some of those -- you just referenced this you ought to mean you you know you pictures of getting in yesterday's game at the end it was a a wide margin. Would you feel a bit better prepared Sunday if you have played some meaningful and significant meet minutes and stumbled blowouts last year."

" You know you'd you'd never oh you've never go not for our work of their views you're gonna go -- well. Well because. Who knows what I would like these -- and gone out there. And not bode well yesterday and we knew we would be talked about the threat now. I really I don't know how to answer that question because I didn't I didn't give that up there'd be lobster to promote our governor you in the all I can do go up -- work our political positions you're ready to go and what is it about what is it."

" It you know it would it would only be human if at some point some practice some you know three years ago you -- you know this has been for years now six years now eight years and and you didn't give a 100% were there ever any of those days he had -- Portion self to really pay attention and really get everything you could out of practice think of that you know it's just one more practice and along number of years from up plan."

" Other -- and either of the first. That is great for -- ego or one finger capital of Gregory here you know. They're separated them you're aren't motivated it other you're after there's opera people. Support group that the group -- you know it's going to come it's going to happen. And continue to motivate yourself about the way -- do. Have orbited the you're a reason one meters over here. Is because because without borders. Work in our work and dedication. I put into the and I'm sure a lot of people wondered. You know it's better -- there's you know a lot of -- Vacancy mean there a lot of it is -- that -- persevered and believed in the off the but it opened --"

" And they're bringing in guys looking and as is proof to back you up now -- Chris Simms apparently Tim -- Just I'm just curious Matt how long would it take a guy just an average guy off the street. If he would've signed with the team this week to to learn the offense and be ready to come -- if some -- do you."

" You know orders if there Korea out of conflict often and cultured people learn a different level but no I don't you forever or back and in the open is that overrated for the Cougars. A lot of little you know what you -- so you have to -- the -- There others that would put a lot of spot go to work experience -- there is the mentality in really -- Byrd. You have studies but he really hard if they don't."

" You. It was from afar at least from my perspective it was a pretty close race between you in Gutierrez. In the pre season. Were you nervous on cut down date or we you recall often enough how did you think it was how did you feel from your perspective it was unfolding."

" He thought I felt good about. My chip -- in. A lot of time. You -- although -- you or did you watch. Internally with the coaching staff and -- related news. I receive if he backed up. -- all -- in the it was one of those situations work felt terrible for what you worked real hard. He -- great there's whoa there's been the -- in the world but that's the nature of the businesses. You know you're there but after being -- fortunately for the I was able but throughout."

" Him -- we've heard people say yesterday and again today pay everybody now on the Patriots have to play a little harder play a little better -- little harder on their share of the rope. It's not possible the NFL it seems to me if if you're saying that not -- people are saying that. That means that they were giving a 100% when when -- with the quarterback and they have the rule you know raise their game to that level now that you're in there."

" Right I think everybody goes out of the -- that are field if not -- via. -- you would be yours yours -- one in the week in and week out well I think it's -- where. Collectively -- that would be -- leader but it's -- blocker -- went well. There weren't prepared."

" the back up a question or two when you said this offense is so nuanced and there's so much minutia little tiny details yet to take care of without giving away state secrets can you give us an example what you talkin' about."

" The ordered that would be perfect standpoint. -- reasonable that's been. They're laughing of the a lot of on them he senses that. You know they're a complicated yet look at you know in the extra that -- factual on the are always changing it from -- back to put -- anarchists -- or. Very we we have ample for four."

" What was your. Night like did you sleep at all the IU already studying up on the Jets. On idea it still reviewing Kansas City how -- things going on like from a minute to minute basis in the life of Matt Cassel right now."

" that are that well but a lot of -- on. What what -- consider. It was opposite Warriors who are offer after the in the and by the umpire and -- so physically. It was grade. It's the old days in the event but it it's a sit down and eat up the and now. The focus of a big -- or. That's the world could go in the -- sooner -- on the here."

" How many how many did you semi tech calls and text message to get the last nineteen hours to Matt Leinart -- in my line of -- wishes he could. Yeah I said Matt -- as jealousy wishes he could start."

" gas. Abilities you know -- Gary good I expect that the -- of the local. You I got hurt definitely quiet but yesterday and a lot of people out there. Of the -- along."

" some flight arrangements for the bye week to what the Los Angeles and by eleven million dollar piece of property -- now the two of them starting quarterback and a Patriot."

" Yeah yeah it is I doubt about. It. And -- there's no way but I don't pick your work and."

" How would you how to characterize emotions this morning looking forward to the Jets on Sunday."

" I'm excited I'm really excited. You know the visiting in the a lot of other areas in blocked well it would go out there. The period of about them our abilities and if he's very go go down there it goes in great effort."

" You you -- a great run yesterday in effect a linebacker out of his boots and is that we're going to see more of that or do you do you have to be careful now now you're the starter you can't be taken. A crazy chances and it is -- hurt."

" You know their way to put it in the in the where that negated. -- bill but consider rock -- all of our regular first. You'd think that we need it where. And on and -- that I don't play I don't corporate -- was there's no book they're. There and think about what might happen. Well what what do I -- Arctic air my body or Purdue -- or slider. Or to try to get a first down -- extra yards yet but it is they've earned. You know I make it different from normal people -- if the player called run -- I don't have it."

" Is that this -- you can do better than Brady is there anything you can do better than Brady."

" Is dirty -- you know all of a you know he is unifil last year. Prior to go down load up -- about the weather in the I'm not trying to be Albert yeah it's currently not out for. And I don't know where -- right now but I know that I on the it will -- your record of an effort. And try to -- problem you know -- you know opener."
