Adam Schefter

" Patriots tickets are great brand development work at a machine after morning Adam how are you. We're one race -- the Patriots approach the halfway point of the season at five and two they win this game six and two projects -- is a law that most people on not may know Wagner is at sixteen and I'll -- well or how the -- went to fourteen days based on Brady's injury."

" Well when Brady got hurt I don't they -- were to start twelfth floor there's no way people. It was one of the great that -- stories how good they would would not be without Brady and I think that is they can go twelve and four. Boy did Bill Belichick the coach of the year Award that went right."

" Yeah I guess that puts arrest all the all the naysayers who said what he's only a great coach because Tom Brady's is quarterback."

" Indonesia do work out that way. No that's just that's the way it goes down now again. That's way that that would that would be impressive they could be that that really what."

" I'm going to ask you the question I guess the whole National Football League and that particular people in Indianapolis or ask you maybe have an answer maybe don't. What is wrong with Peyton Manning and the Colts offense."

" Well. Do you think number one I think the instability along the offensive line has really hurt them this year I think that's been a big problem with them. I think Marvin Harrison got a little bit older trust the guys missed some time with injury. Peyton Manning has not been missing quarterbacks for whatever reason he has looked out of rhythm and he has. The ball has come out of hand funny. This past Monday night against Tennessee was missing passes. That he ordinarily would connect done in his sleep. And I don't know why is that is that because something's bothering him he's hurt."

" Or does he eventually have to get -- have to lose -- mean I'm not -- overnight you're losing years. In Willie Mays stumble around the outfield but eventually he just not going to be as good as he was in his peak at his prime."

" Yet but I think he's doing Jerry are not heat related in my mind like there's a pass to Marvin Harrison -- each -- replays of ordinarily that hasn't -- over the middle respect for the past thirty yards -- field. And he ordinarily just dropped it right in --"

" To a five or six of the -- my -- honestly I don't send. And -- but in the NFL you don't just Grohl you get worn out you get -- not mean running backs don't grow old they do is get pounded him -- and get curtain. And that and hobbled and they're no longer effective."

" Yeah but I don't think that -- he -- 31 years old now I'm thirty."

" Dollar -- And you know what it's he's coming off knee surgery."

" I think the biggest thing is that he's coming off that knee surgery and I'm just saying. Again I don't know something's not right -- finger he and his wrist is -- I don't know what it is something is not right."

" The knee surgery question I think begs. Some speculation that some advance speculation that it was -- Tom Brady be like when he was back you know in the beginning -- next season if -- he's back. Beginning of next season at an and they are one and one a these two guys clearly the best two quarterbacks the last few years in the National Football League and I think by most people's accounts out of after. Peyton Manning's injury and subsequent surgery is not nearly as serious as what Tom Brady is going through should we expect this kind of I'm even inconsistent play from Brady when he finally gets back on the field with -- more debilitating injury he's dealing with."

" I have I don't know if you -- uneven and inconsistent I don't know that I you hope. They can play -- level but he played up before. In -- nobody -- very well I don't know. I mean that's going to be one of the great questions and next year what level well a lot of quarterback question -- you with Michael Vick back in league presumably. Tom Brady coming back. I think when you look at coverage this year. No player. -- every player who had eight devastating injury. That came back. It was better than it was before. Beckett at."

" Good question about as good as -- know -- that -- go to the -- I want to."

" Yeah it's."

" I know I'm not going to -- Willis McGahee what is good about the big guy."

" And Drew Brees a good one it was his shoulder and you know what he has been fantastic you're right that that's that's good example -- Detroit net. People forget Frank Gore. What is unbelievable Eugene school with Clinton Portis most negate the same have Franco was the most talented back of the three. Blew out his niece and came back and it got to be equipped Burnett better than it was before I don't know that but but. It would be hard to argue that he didn't reach that level right now. Drew Brees is about as good of an example as we can come up with however were talking about it shoulder spot more important to quarterback anyway you know. In less in less it is in fact. Teams from the east. There are other reasons that he is not Peyton this year. In the batter -- answer that."

" You mentioned Michael -- Colorado market do you think there will be for Michael Vick when he's available."

" You know --"

" I think we've seen -- quarterback pleaded not to these every great quarterback but he was a winning quarterback."

" She was eight entertaining quarterback Hewitt came marketable quarterback -- at the window but."

" I think. There will be a limited market and it will be. Big enough in the limited way that you have."

" An opportunity to get speculate that you're going to tell me right now that. A team like. Kansas City Chiefs couldn't Michael Vick the Detroit Lions couldn't use Michael Vick. The I totally."

" That we had this debate when he was sent away and John in the Kabila come back effectively and I said look it's how many bad quarterbacks there are all day and this is probably the healthiest. Who you can stretch of his adult Levy can't drink get a Adams can't got a dog race and you can't eat in on Wendy's it. -- it's -- he's going to -- not -- a great quarterback Tom Brady coming -- and say it was great but -- a starter is mediocre at -- not a great -- right electrifying player away -- signs on with this -- or -- this guy -- have to take on what will be the public relations baggage will come for at least the first season with your new team that's outs away. -- Adam. Yeah. It was so much time for the crime was ridiculous."

" Okay social why. I'm eligible to come out again I understand it. He will be radioactive some people some people will be repulsed by the side of him. But you know what the man served his time he lost millions he lost his career. Why why are Peta picketers protest thing if it -- it."

" In the hotel like something that does anyone protest landed little plan for the Rams and just play yeah. Hillary -- in my."

" What is your instructor -- and and that's what you know egregious act published. That Jimmy was more attention that Michael Vick did."

" Of course was he killed the woman and Michael Vick killed the dog but dogs."

" The bunch ability -- you know what what are they actually killed somebody he had a hand in the treatment of these animals that -- bit that's -- The bottom line is I think that to get back trying to assure you. You'd think of Michael Vick were."

" Retake a Seattle she ought to -- and a third district this year that he -- those -- the 2000 because of the -- sort of came with a quarterback issue all weights."

" Put it this way if he needed a quarterback -- Jerry Jones would -- time. Almighty I mean you know it doesn't but luckily you -- Jones has some trepidation when it comes to a guy who did time for killer dog."

" But I definitely isn't his book that you don't know what those people those people are welcome now -- Incurred in that. Hart why the club all the brain you're printing job striped uniforms are."

" Let's write us back in from next year too at the Sunday night where do you stand and how much stock do you put in the most desperate football team. Has an edge against one is not quite so desperate I would say -- at three and four. They are three and four is a helluva lot more desperate than the five and two you could make the case over achieving Patriots are at this point --"

" I'm not get it ever buy into it desperation arguments for a team that's going to be a phenomenal these they'll check that yeah I don't buy into that okay you can tell me. That might work with some other teams that. Might get caught flight certainly. Something tells me that this team but quite a Gurode to the place they want -- championship in two years ago I don't care how desperate the Colts are. Peyton Manning is not performing at a higher level that he was among that the doctor -- we -- and it -- that I liked the Colts like a get a coming back to the quarterback. And that had another crushing injury history tomorrow injection the only non contact drill blows -- ACL meniscus damage. Obviously you may need surgery in the ministries I think this week ACL later on. It's just keep coming to get back Bob Sanders and think of -- what they're going to be better they get past this and they lose more injections."

" Fairness at they lose this game they are probably 95%. Of the playoffs -- and I don't know I don't go that far out of the division welcome to Minnesota -- what is it together."

" There it doesn't division now that I don't have any questions about that they're not -- that division don't get north catching Tennessee I don't know that anybody is going to catch Tennessee. In the race from -- at this at this point I mean there."

" Patriots at two games back."

" That's -- okay and look at -- the schedule look at Tennessee's schedule. And -- hit -- fairly favorable on a mistake."

" Those -- half season MVP and Al rookie of the were -- give -- Matt Ryan you can't even match anyone else that."

" You can Magic Johnson he commencing their shots and."

" A lot of it is I know I will this is the headquarters of the many Ryan fan club so we can't do that and -- Drew Brees would be that you exit the -- three. And tight."

" I would go to race you know right after me. There are a couple of options and it's funny created this very question I. There responses were the same these are the name names that were floated -- Drew Brees. Clinton Portis. Albert king's horse."

" A lot of that defensive lineman win and B I mean I'd be okay by me and god knows someone on the Titans deserves it it's not Kerry Collins."

" You know but it may I would -- importance right now the Redskins a team that many felt would struggle at a gate or six until. -- forces I think 944 rushing yards basically that's no way to this season he's on pace for almost 1900 yards. He'd been the leader of that team he'd been a very good back. And to meet you get my vote for the first half of the season but to -- Dorsey is parity particularly MVP graciously dictator personally."

" Did you see the poll that SI did the players which coach would you most like to play for. And Florida way Tony Dungy is number one Belichick was third. Wade Phillips was sent Belichick was third with 6% and Phillips and almost I mean. Tony Dungy and almost 50%."

" Well I'm not surprised that dungy commands all the respect he does that that's not a big surprise at all but. To me. The big question simply those until I elected to get open -- that's still true in my."

" Why why would you -- wooden shoes I picked Phillips over Belichick as the player. Isn't one -- in the -- hasn't won a playoff game politics at three Super Bowl rings. He's either player friendly is that what it is now -- so that you do."

" As he had to -- USC. And that's wade you know players like playing for him because it's you know it's easy. Laid back it's it's easy you know it's casual. The southern -- it's not like that fox."

" No no not casual ball went out with a 49ers come off their bye week next weekend and the next on the 49ers have a real horse bleep game. What what the singletary due to get their attention the next time they stink."

" actually bought. -- and read everything all close. I sort of started it's likely start the national anthem they'll still the singers start pretty -- could eventually have to get that high note yes this started high here you know."

" Yeah I I don't know too many coaches in history I was -- Mabry investment pool but pulled out their entered halftime to demonstrate their point did. You know listen -- picked oddity came back to meet this week is that if that were any other coach that didn't command respect him Mike singletary didn't. -- the reservoir. Of support -- that he does -- it was some coach like let's just say. Bill Belichick would never played the game. -- Amongst the players right a seeded players. Would instantly be disconnected then negotiate an ankle isn't right elect recollect Mike singletary. Is one of the rare people. They can get away with something like that and have people still audit."

" That would -- anywhere else. Look at it it was a close call. -- Apartment you. -- it's. Vital if they don't go out and -- Tuesday amen the dude again. After the I've enjoyed the week -- Do you separate development work with --"

" 42 year old some way."
