" Fever and you know or repair saw the Olympic somewhere element that I get a -- When we went to be where you went through it into the left on it's it's the most I've ever watched Summer Olympics. That this women volleyball I was I I've made sure -- tapes and table tennis. Actually knows that it was yeah it was definitely a table tennis is incredible run conscious of techniques to beat these guys are they had the serve with their elbow NC we've got a ping pong table at home and -- the serve and it was nice as the guy who beat so it is different."
" well I know what we're gonna ask you about right off the batter and and and his team as had to go forward without you in the lineup. Yeah are you prepared to go forward without Tom Brady in the lineup if that's what happened."
" You know I've only heard what's been speculated and that's of of course -- CC OM CO that's -- speculated right now has as coach or coach Belichick addressed the team know so we are not sure what has happened I know that. A coach said there's some tests that have to be done today. But until those until those tests have have come on we've got a definite this this this is the way it's going to be. You know I'm I'm not -- I'm not going to say that I'm when I'm looking I'm not going to say he's going to be out because until it black and white for me you know that's that's that's I'm just going to wait and see -- I think Matt Cassel came in -- mean we we've had injuries before you know to myself to -- need to. Guys along the offensive line. You know so we -- we're used to dealing with with adversity re read that you used to -- to deal with controversy also I mean of all last year so. No I think we're mentally tough team so if the situation presented itself if if man that's gotta be your quarterback what will back him."
" They obviously have to be talented to play honestly. What could just give people an idea of the mentality you need for example -- in the Matt Cassel this morning any sounded. Like he wanted to be in this position you know what Tom Brady to be hurt but he sounded like he was ready for the task. If you -- if you don't have that mentality this game of this while you want to yeah I think the one thing we. We really pressed upon the younger guys that backup players the back of Mike linebacker all the way to the backup quarterback is be ready ago. Be ready to go when your number's called and -- even though and even in practice when they say that's a scary guy Gary guy -- getting some reps for me I'm would have it would make sure he's doing his job but he knows what. He knows with the -- knows what to do because you never know what can happen so. We we we've pressed that mentality upon our younger players because you don't want your and we expect no drop off which again."
" I think people who want your locker room have heard some of the comments over the last. Eighteen hours in it almost sounds heartless and it's not meant that way as you said you're prepared for the fact that people are gonna get hurt. Friends of yours teammates of yours guys are gonna get hurt you like god forbid get hurt. And and guys are just young it's drilled into them you've got to go forward no matter who it is."
" Right I mean -- our tickets you this way. It comes out I'd be greatly disappointed and of course I want him to be our quarterback for every single game this season. Is that going to happen wolf we'll find out soon enough but. No Tom -- also tell you this you know whoever's in there whether whether Randy Moss is in thereafter Wes Welker is in around I mean he's going to. Count on that that that third or fourth or fifth receiver like. You know he's supposed to be there and I think that's the way we have to look at it and that's the way we always look at. And you're huge football fan and you can. You try to watch some of the shows if you get a chance to watch him. What did you think when you saw the play from and you probably can have a chance to study -- during the game but come on after the game. See in the play. I know as a defensive player I fight and fight and I fight even after last -- even if I have to crawl in scratched to make the tackle to make quarterback pressure -- it somehow alter throw something like that. And it in my mind it looked like that's what he was doing I mean Sammy was on his back he's chrome and he wants to make a play. -- I think he would intentionally want to want to hit Tom right there I don't think so. Yeah I thought so too I mean. It didn't look like he was trying to you know take his -- output if you're in that position. Yeah -- you can you can speak this better than we can't give him blocked. As it does play the play is still going on in your mind and I'm still okay if he's blocking me like this I'm still trying to get the quarterback -- as a defensive player if -- something if there is if there was Larry Johnson in front of me and he was he was may be fighting for extra yards and and Brian -- was on my back trying to block -- their offensive guard number 54 in had to crawl in its quest to get there and there are -- I would die for I would that forward try to bring Larry Johnson. How did you assess at least initially the -- your defense yesterday against Chiefs. Well I think we rested upon ourselves to really make it make an effort to be good in the red area to -- to be good in the red area. Now you know not not get better at the red area as the season goes along and keep telling you guys you know try to work on this punishment work on this so. To really win the game in the red area like that you know do some positive things in the -- fourth down CNC and -- to play like that in an -- and -- down there I think that's the biggest positive I'm going to take away from it. I mean there -- other positives to I think that the interior part of our defense against one of the better tackle to tackle running backs in the league I think we did well also -- in the red area deep and it's something we've been we've been stresses and I think that's a positive I can take away from yesterday."
" And you have loved the effort of O'Neal. Just to make the stop five. I mean it wasn't like to play in Denver but it was you know it could've been instead of a 68 yard play and first goal of the five could've been a 73 yard playing against --"
" Yeah I'll take you inside of -- instance out of our meat and sometimes when we're watching film and we and we see plays like that from other teams doing that in and we see you know we -- Sixty yard gain or fifty yard gain in the guy gets tackled on the five we point out the guy that made the effort to make that tackle at five at five because. Even if they scored the next play it gave your defense a chance to play red area defense and try to get a stop and enforcement to maybe -- four points by force them to a field goal or you know like we did win the game. Teddy I think for the twentieth consecutive year you've been named to team captain -- they -- McCaffrey for a long time what does it mean to you when you were. Your teammates it sound like Bill Belichick says okay Tedy Bruschi you're the captain your teammates decide this wasn't me. It's it means a lot because it's it's it's the voice of the team in a lot of times you don't. You know we don't really vote on issues we don't really vote on what play we should run what was -- since we should run but we vote on a one thing you know probably only once a year that's done. You know what voices they want to be. -- to represent the team as you can see that there are changes -- changes every year with -- Since being -- captain this year and Randy beane camp this year Matt Light also be captain this year so. For me to consistently -- them I'm very proud of it it's something that I take very seriously. And if there's anything you know the guys know if there's anything. They want to -- meet -- ago you know sometimes it knock on course six girls so. You know be the one to do that but here's here's an interesting question. Trivia question for which which team captain has it. What only person that that's a team captain is the only captain -- three Super Bowl championship teams."
" Larry Izzo that's correct -- I -- I don't know you can gradually very what he's when he's named captain because that's I mean he's. That's that's that's the one guy that that's represented the special teams for all three championship teams ever since he's got his his 2001 and that's you know that's another captain that that. That and we're we're proud to have leading themselves."
" I was gonna ask you about teams play as well because that was kind of a sore spot in the pre season and I know how important Bill Belichick thinks it is and how much effort -- ceiling puts into it. I would think brad would be pretty happy with how his teams played overall yesterday."
" in the one drive went when they were to score what they were able to score on us when in I believe is. Damon Damon. Are offering Damon Huard came to sort of threw up 2 I think it was gone on the inside pattern -- and scored a touchdown I mean we will we're there we were in the red area and stressing and -- we wanted to get that stop what they scored so. I went over to kick -- team -- was it's just just just ask them just answer that for us because we call the kickoff return team I mean to get overturned you sort of the answer team because. The kick our return as always is it's only you have an opportunity to do that on on the kick off four after a score. You know so after a score they really have an opportunity answer on the kickoff return I think they brought it around midfield and that there really is able to shift field position for so that was a big thing."
" boy Ellis had a 51 yarder on -- he did my best returner and Ellis also Ellis also made a big play force on the interception he stepped in front of that route and -- Underrated we expect a lot of things them. Completely underrated player should this article please did the best player the got a never grow. The -- that he is an underrated today this goes to stop it's just thought they had you can eliminate his ability flags and what do definitely let the moment it's -- But -- you know how I was gone for this. The of them the last couple weeks when maybe you've been on what this. But before when a vacation he's gonna lie I noticed any less -- that this thing in Atlanta and I'm 110. I ordinary that. -- Andre Tippett said before Abu."
" Right after his can't -- me -- him how great -- was being inducted into the Hall of Fame. He said you guys gave him a great sendoff and Bill Belichick said some things and then he said Mike Vrabel and Tedy Bruschi system they've got me a little. I got a little most of focuses some of the things they had to say what did you say that they're really got."
" Well I really moved. I set a few things that I want to it to address of the guys in it. I think I've been here the longest -- that I have a have a good relationship relationship with -- love -- around the locker room every comes in I mean. You know just they're talking with him a little bit I think the one thing I said -- there's there's there's a good reason why he can't -- 56 -- you coming here. He can't -- 56 because that man he was standing at the top of the at the top of the -- and I have because that man back there where that number in this and that momentum and at that number could never be touched by another linebacker because he did so well. I was one of the excessive and that now -- privacy and I -- tip. It is just one of those guys you look to and even now I know I F a cup I feel comfortable knowing I can always go up -- he can always come down you know -- I column in and I can bounce things off of."
" And let's be honest most days doesn't it looked like he could still. Kick your butt if he wanted to go to shake his head again for the sake this man and had hands or purchasing Gholston a little bit and he squeezes -- that and you'll know -- goodness nobody there was this guy that I guess that is a big man and who could do some damage. -- it's good to see if we're going to bring tiny in here for a second but it's great to see in this and the again thanks guys thanks Tedy -- joining us on that. Patriots Monday and Ty Warren stepped in as well followed tie -- doing -- Oreo recruited group. I. You know it's sort of an obligatory thing here we have to ask the question you know. One to your team leaders some and one of them the best players. In this league is is going to at least be out for a little while maybe opt for a long while -- team responded this."
" Well alone. It's unfortunate very -- move going to be missed them forward -- sort of period of time a long period of some book. What there's those who you know the game. Has to go on. This is to reality mister Appleby Frentzen. But you know. You arsenal goals -- to a -- Which is where you talk about. You know -- goes and nasty here -- it was authority of blues masters. You know. We went down. What what did you think of Cassel yesterday. I was excited because -- you know along you know after the pre season need to -- on criticism. And scrutiny. You know. For his flew open because America because microscope -- noon. All through the pre season number unquote -- bonus also. Allows that -- when you different. Yes it has some success and took to -- monologue. And I kind of -- world -- fifty. They're morals and Rolen it pursues kind of got a boat because so like benefited -- a concern. -- you know total Bruton."
" I would think overall you guys were were really satisfied with the defensive effort. The only negative I I as I sat here and watch the game yesterday would be maybe third down defense often seemed like they were converting some third downs that and you guys like to get them off the field or."
" Oh those bills want to -- there we we talked about going to have some -- Whose stuff from a first and second down in the third down and have some rumors news they -- won't -- room and and Cameron -- have been. We shouldn't Buffalo boo -- you know it's the super Rivera."
" What did you think. Of the challenge of facing that team on the one hand there there extremely young. A lot of turnover on the other hand. They did and it realizes tell -- this and realize you start 43 last year before Larry Johnson would counsel there is some talent on that team what did you think."
" Well and that team government talent development. -- to government to change. You know when it's. -- run very fast they are there solemnly to retain -- speedy and an article about the big play -- also some of what. In all column in -- goes to retain just who have group to. Play against. Has come pre season and Cardinals allowed. You know skepticism is kind of receiver on the team it's also for what who's good coming moderator you. -- do -- that program about it go alone it was huge for just the way. This could go where we just Susan Lewis averages knows group -- sportsman. --"
" News -- talk about the McDonald's defensive stop the game stop of the game brought to you by McDonald's I'm lovin' it 53 seconds left fourth quarter first and goal from the five. And and you guys do the job you get a five and mountain and you don't allow them to get tying touchdown what was going on down there. At the five yard line defensively what were you guys able to do."
" What and situation like. We tomahawk -- Raiders used to be frozen. Throughout the offseason and down. So when it came up news on one of those do you have this calm down and if so where this time but do we got to -- rules and again but they have elected -- Down and an area at that time and again. You know processing numbness and you know there at school. So need to limit their book. I don't presume you know there was -- you know -- do Iran. -- afraid you know I don't whatever it is electric blues there was a team elected -- them and so. We have to be aware of where. Disorder but it didn't earnest Graham whether there's -- so where it is -- Rivera there. And this unknown person others. In order to. You know run before --"
" Ignorant how much of your of your game plan changed when Brodie Croyle went out and Damon Huard came into quarterback. We know more it's a big."
" They -- through you know good outside and parker with a boom boom there and they're very fair very news more or partner president. I -- president. Return as much from a -- park. Partners standpoint there's post on the ball -- You know of this sort didn't cross on the -- and some -- do you know because there's little more mobile than it is."
" You -- you mentioned the Jets are coming up this week. There are different kind of Jets team that you've seen you've seen this Chad Pennington Jets were on and then the Kellen Clemens that Kellen Clemens yet then I get to Brett Favre jets' -- expect."
" Our own. Arrogance. -- it. Couples excellent receiver wants written Susan I don't know suits. You know what better -- where it is you know we use them and want he's been around for long arms. Sort of new Britain and one thing you know he's going to get rid of the ball real -- because you know he's gold ball. All. So we go to -- But his flaws not a whole look good reduced offensive zone so for would of abuse and today is that we don't know what they do is do it. --"
" I also wonder about the gunslinger mentality. I mean he's you look at at the touchdown pass yesterday on fourth down from where he basically just sort of flung it up there are going to prayer and -- you -- somebody comes down -- he seems to be willing to take those chances more than anybody."
" Dim and he's he's been known around his move to dupe the American type of guy and and knows this Solomon were were -- thing you know you can who's who's on and for his first incidents -- and is going to go ordered Knowles. His own tournament Oakland missile and pursuant to their world all. Against Miami here last --"
" They always say he'll give you one I don't know they mean defensive linemen they -- talked about quarterback now you know British but it got."
" I'm glad that I couldn't -- couldn't and really little I. I don't think that was legitimate snack go to -- sort of."
" I don't know man -- eleven to open you know and stuff positive but who handles only those two guys know that."
" Yeah how many quarterbacks arguing just you have to respect when I'm -- taken out have really no need to Burgos almost. I to play yesterday you personally had you feel about your game."
" You know always who you know first in the first always -- can -- They don't play you upload or been missed have been. IMO wanted to mustard. They're. That I wear him out there. There to take everybody comes out of -- then would lose one or two mistakes and just because disco because twosome. -- won't put you know among whenever an -- moved into a prude and I'm going to follow up on accelerator was room however Gary. Was comes to strip the group we're number over Washington here with -- Would be Francis. And his current experiment to regret not -- for -- well for the room you're. Play for the world. --"
" You know different -- different different guys use different things for motivation yesterday has lost in the media. The Cowboys Browns game and I'll give fox credit they have audio. So I can hear Willie McGinest day. At one point I don't know why you Aki turns to me over I don't know yeah -- To be here so. Do you take it as a challenge or you do you are you -- when guys continue to run to your side."
" Oh where they're going to move through this have been alone what their starter out comb over a little -- There and you know its own and do -- come back to you know amenities. As office. I think they've got to come -- even -- of them and yet there's a rookie. Topple -- love thousand but don't want to start the game all run to have finalists on over in America toss it the tough -- a masa also. -- You know it -- the -- game road winning you know roller coasters usually run over ours -- to him. It is my job stopping them who over the grounds off. Over there would be dispelled woman known you know who's going Spezza -- there -- if you want to do very you know this holders."
" They're -- give much yesterday -- Larry Johnson broke -- long run and Charles had a interest in run support for a first down close to for a first down he was inches away but. For the most part you guys really handled their running game."
" Yet they've moved -- who dude good job rule two Caetano. You know they have different players would be you know escorted Buddha where. Those things -- we -- go America's team and look here. It's not a limit those fans might become an excellent say. Nobody -- enough -- known. Victors have before so. You know with him. Continued to slowly you know -- don't know decrease. That's a good thing what is already knows there's always some --"
" Final question from me will it be hard for this team to maintain. It's emotional state. If you're starting quarterback is not available to -- for the season will you be able to to stay on an even keel emotionally here."
" What -- his first person I don't know fifth cast a lot of prepared. We're ever you know back there 100%. You know as obtaining. First -- and we can't control who can -- dutrow who can control them we can't control widow. -- situation news so. I consider reality here over to lose they're going to go play before this office got a stupid offensive. I don't know if this of that analogy and well maybe even of bill goes round and flew right over it relatively injury or. Fifth manager would overdo isn't always the bench to read it wrong misses -- where news. I don't know if you do you -- it's. Nomar surrounded. You know -- comeback. Do you -- you go through season and be going toward one of fifteen you know we don't want them."
