" the vote easily get poppy through that and we pay for my money is exactly. And the balance of oh count and and -- kind today for -- have a rough but it. Now."

" I I I purposely waited until we thought I was kept -- you know just called Tuesday -- jump of the building -- that. All of a couple there's a --"

" You've got my messages on my job anyway -- got. David you maybe jumping but -- had people like thing won't old tired I don't know -- Cleveland for our first Thursday night the contest since the opening week -- your Cleveland now."

" I I haven't approached -- Cleveland as we speak as a food. Should be. What I would and I."

" First question I have four yet and I know this one but it really didn't couldn't go with. Right -- right I don't think -- Olympic before winnable but I -- there with the it'll show it was reliable second and that's just -- quarter of the -- limited -- You don't sort sort of you don't -- outside you don't a you don't know I'll -- I'll listen you know it's like pick for the break -- to begin now this is it tonight."

" Yeah this this is it's interstate could result they're not turning back so what whatever happens. It's it's Quinn's ball and Quincy for the rest of the season. I -- a situation where they've they're planning -- To the extent that this is Denver's the -- one thing that I think any quarterback even -- a guy who's making his first start. And expect at some level of success sort of pretty pretty much does I think there's been launch of young quarterbacks in the league and Matt -- that Joe Flacco succeeding. And it and their four. Convincing that the brown sort of brain trust that. You know what let let's let our young guys do it yeah she's in that three in the season -- three inside they're not legend that we can do you know more what that."

" What what happens what Derek Anderson he's as guardian of the year."

" And probably yeah that's yes there's not turned effort this is where you make if you make this decision now. For the entire future of of it it's pretty -- football."

" Did they make a mistake by not trading -- Derek Anderson. In this past offseason when there was a lot of interest they couldn't nobody."

" Well I I think they've played that dictate what they get there was was calculate that. After his -- and she's last year. In and change the pace they were as close as they were debate in the playoffs last year. They wanted to this season believing -- was a playoff crunchy and -- it got one spiral out of control and you got three wins. Buy caps season spending on the planet --"

" Well Rick what the question is why. -- what was his innocence numbers left -- was it six touchdowns and inception."

" Yet he can't look it that is an affair -- right thing. I don't you question EU I think very much it is something that. Sort of beat the Mets as there was cent sure that a lot of the -- especially after the Baltimore game were -- the Baltimore game that totally turned off -- this franchise and that there was. Getting getting them back would be difficult to have their belief was. That Anderson was not -- they'd want to bring Clinton from. From the B yeah yeah yeah and the fans and talk about yet but I'd rather it been so much Romeo and our administration but administration. Hurt the fans and her -- that treacherous and historically. Response to that sort of settlement there there's a great sense intentions sensitivity."

" The fans out here didn't want Cassel early on in the administration stayed with their. With what they thought was the best thing -- it's -- countdown to the fans -- to a track."

" Different track record here though it's been an excellent -- the Patriots the Patriots are -- five minutes and it went straight five with. What Matt Cassel I think that's a bit that end there for."

" The most and it coaches not trouble right now when your coach -- trouble if you listen on the fans to make moves up to go to the trouble and of course it's all right but -- say I was innocent and good quarterback."

" Yeah but I I again I think well I mean what else does not come in with the same credentials even know he was part of of some that big of a lot of -- success. He doesn't have the cap shape obviously got a Bill Belichick does that the trust the decision making. That they have they even -- the reason I think castle was even if they had been like what the -- decision was initially. There was some sense that a lot of people that was the best the guy making this decision has made a lot of weight -- in here. The history was that you don't break -- kind of -- from nowhere it was a great story a year ago was playing what was having so much about him that wonderful Monday night in here a lot of dropped passes by. Braylon Edwards haven't helped the cause a lot of other issues with the injuries and and and different issues on offense besides that not help the cause but by a large I think this is a team. That needed it in it's all -- needed to see where what what percent of that was. And and -- if you read the local presser or. Or -- pick up the paper today there's an endorsement or nobody even cares if this was Romeo adult decisions they just -- it was."

" I don't know what the hell is going on in Oakland and is there an opportunity that. The Patriots. Would be interested in De'Angelo hall."

" I would I would. I highly doubt that for this reason was that Thomas in the truck who -- who sent all packing from Atlanta. And and him in basically to be trust number one reason for doing so would that back I wasn't a bit. Into the Patriot way that the B truck and brought to the Falcons Soviet not a fit. If it's not the first student of Bill Belichick Scott pioli in Atlanta why wouldn't now be fit for the teachers in --"

" Interest in part by the way he did clear waivers and he -- freeing what fit as I mean you're thinking about seven how much directing my that you."

" Why I think he had upwards of eight million dollars or thereabouts yeah his contract was which was. Like many of the contract that the Raiders signed this year were were staggering into an eye popping. -- and go back Leicester with what -- Marc Ross are they're carrying I think the highest or second I think -- the highest payroll in the NFL."

" It's really tell me off but why are very good return on investment though why is it why don't bring this guy and half the game and season. Is he isn't not disease outlawed --"

" what this was pathetic in in in the -- in Atlanta there was a feeling that he just couldn't buy into. A team oriented concepts. Convention there again the type of cultural change that -- Mike Schmidt. Wanted to bring Arthur blank to the Falcons after all the best that they could perceive it that. And and it was and I don't you -- it's taken -- I mean with Matt Ryan quarterback social workers are there -- coaching tree there is a feeling. All of all of you know hard working people -- the -- Michael -- the backfield I mean it's a different type of club with a whole different kind of work ethic. I think what -- That you sheep from the it all I just doesn't fit that that's one of the apart that want to be a solid guy so in Oakland. -- he took a lot of stuff kind of not himself by I don't know that he was. A good that would would rob Bryant he touched it and never bought and Tibet shirts that first game. And the problem."

" It's -- let me and Schmidt Amanda Manny got burned hot out there and demand of him."

" Totally solid for the first game and -- he got taken -- school plagued by Iraqi in the and that first game you know yeah. But yeah so area what did it had kind of -- hopeless."

" I'll back the next question he left the team had very little structure with -- Q had zero structure of the world's twenty. In the NFL in my -- rob friend -- about. It dogs -- to impeachment but by. What -- he got what you look pretty goes. I'll interpreted for journalism that I ice brought -- this point earlier. I can understand where structurally. You have difficulty fitting in in Atlanta and in Oakland if you have a tendency to drift. With the New England Patriots the structures set. You couldn't hear you are going to play you're not going to be easily got -- telling -- sideline in bill Belichick's thanks for -- all I."

" This this is true and if that's understood and beat and also I think the players. Internal enforcement by the players. As an actor and all that -- that's not. Okay so. You're running the extent that the Falcons head hadn't quite. What -- the process of building that ended in out -- felt pretty early on this guy's not going to allow this city built here effectively. I mean my exception and knowing how much when you but I was Ichiro how much. He he is quickly and willing to support of recordings of Bill Belichick of Scott go in college he believed in the gospel from them. I don't know I mean it makes sense that while we're stronger we're stronger stage or more established stage for our organization. That this guy I would -- not do anything about it right then or despite starting just like -- close. That big that students the right thing that the teachers."

" Missouri and interest out there thinking Emmanuel."

" You know I don't know that that I look at Buffalo and and I don't think I don't think he would fit in what you run wants to do there. But is that the bare wood with a -- rookies hurting and and look around at the other injuries that we just watched. Donte Whitner to a shoulder. Issue there could be several weeks in the making so that they've got some issues -- secretary but I I don't see any immediate looking Diop and forward it to get."

" Let's show up at the Buffalo Bills you don't than anybody else to like about the Whitner injury. Aaron Schobel who absolutely tortures the the Patriots -- great game -- looking like he's out of this game. How belly of the season right how badly they beaten up. And just looking at their depth chart here. -- that seems to be a real weakness to this Buffalo team a well rounded team. When they're all healthy but then once you start to get the bench it seems to be pretty thin that a good assess."

" It's a great assessment and and you look at Glenn that the fact that they had a -- like a job tree. Cool I'm under normal and it felt circumstances would be called solid -- right solid for a -- Ian Campbell. Offensive. Situations. The Buffalo -- represents. I'm curious omission when they can always repeat they missed they missed a lot last week. Roscoe Parrish -- it's an exciting. Potentially big play player but not a guy you could really rely on to be all -- different papers receiver certainly can do a lot as a return I James Hardy the rookie -- much Indiana. Has been a disappointment all but one game at Jacksonville were caught the winning touchdown pass he has been a guy who's dropped some balls. Who struggled to get open was not seemingly utilizing his size -- or strength. In the aggressive way that you're expected to. Basically have a -- here the lottery you've -- reception for the underweight but yes I'm well yet. You know and I consequently I think the other issue to their offensive line. Has been really there on doing it is not a good -- it is it is not for."

" I -- to. It is either -- Marshawn Lynch so much and I mean reminds splinters projected to seems like them Jim Ball a lot this year."

" Well well you know I mean I I really great there and they have given them they attached. Oh and don't insult occasions he -- on what you saw last week with. Chris Jenkins just all of the middle of that line and and and had him. Caught in his -- time and again he couldn't he couldn't get a single and it took a corner of it yet but you know into the starting center that that's a little -- over to to get depressed and -- the -- apartment Boller as starting center has not given them much I mean you really haven't hasn't belt a ball off to the -- that too -- that they have. Have been -- and I and I actually a bad matchup here with Vince Wilfork and and the and the Patriots beat such problems well."

" Obligated you know that but they did a good team taught us -- all phases but not good great great at anything so one. One facet of the -- down the other one can't pick it up for them."

" Right and that's and that's been the problem now Trent Edwards I think was doing a lot individually early. He was making I don't think his line was doing a superb except for the opener against Seattle which. They be skewed things as Seattle was so bad and banged up -- cut back game. They did that there was also the wind was really dominant from that point out they have not played. Anything any level that that was -- that was worth noting. Trent Edwards I think it suffered from that obviously targeting some some pretty good pressure on him Checchi have a concussion. You and we came back strongly against -- you know. He has been -- somewhat tentative quarterback against both Miami and especially the Jets he also got caught again and at. In that Jets game and and I figured let it let a lot of the late reaction when he was in the pocket. He's been mistake prone now I think what's happening with seventeen career starts he's beginning to two should the book the book. The book is being built on our interpreter about."

" Vick does it Lamar question yell at Tennessee -- kind of celebrate themselves leniency in the house to the Giants Nancy neither side teens or six and 35 and three. That you like out of that -- through a kind of challenged Titans of the Giants."

" I think from you're saying from the AFC RB yeah either hurt or you don't want W one -- Yeah I look at Pittsburgh as it -- that that showed me a lot the other night in in in the way. Byron Leftwich performed and and show that that because well butler has not played well and it's -- has been because of the shoulder -- a lot of it and get put them -- I don't think what is -- I -- work in two. -- it's -- you're preparing and I think -- questions about -- Leftwich looked -- ready. Step in quarterback can play I think he'll do better they need him to just play this Sunday against the Colts. And I think you'd end up being in the right answer that. Until I know. I -- there's I think the artist has altered his you know someone. Based not just based in I think key I think slow the -- quite I think he's been I just think he was prepared -- more ready. The play in net game and then -- bird."

" What game is -- and not that that battle of the --"

" Let's get -- and I think they're so I think. There can be something there I I also believe that looking at just that the rest the copper current appeal rests heavily. Who's going to challenge that the Giants are the Titans besides Steelers at this point it's debatable because actually no one really from the NF -- QB from the AFC east. I think these teams are mostly equal I don't think a lot separates any of them. Not even though I think the pats would would probably when they're against Buffalo and an up close on three division beating fast. But we're all charter and making it the FC south -- interest thing but how much -- you haven't Carolina I don't know."

" I let's get to that AFC's destroyed nine of this debate earlier today -- TV show. And your right Buffalo loses to suddenly I was you know you're wrong rob I think you're going to be wrong -- my actual sick but Buffalo is in trouble because they'll be 3 with it within the division and that causes them great problems. The team that I worry about the most of on the New England Patriots the rest of the way in the AFC east believe it or not is buying."

" Look at their schedule they're playing -- an analyst -- Russian -- the Seattle note this schedule pretty good football team. Seattle at home Oakland and hold new wing it and home. At St. Louis. At Buffalo on hold on that Sunday December 7 game at Buffalo. Exactly Rogers Centre in Toronto in order out about does not have the advantage playing outdoors Miami's going to play like a home game and -- So it is -- difference is going home. At Kansas City at the New York Jets umps are."

" Outlook on neckline actually the bill -- yet Dolphins. Are several reasons this is this is what I like the start with Chad I think it's intelligent quarterback. Planes he caught six -- for the glass. It's it's a perfect spot for what they do it's it's -- mistakes it's the offensive oriented it's run the football at 12 o'clock. And he doesn't keep the ball on the other -- hit a lot of that Joey Porter is targeted to look big time player and that'll be nice to have -- talk about what tone -- as well -- but but he's in the 34 scheme. He is a perfect trip they got an average team now and he's writing at all that's baloney. But that's I think they're running game it's it's it's solid indeed what it would obviously Greg Brown Ricky Williams. It's not just about -- trio that wildcat inched the circuit based they can run pretty solidly and then I think the wildcat just it's something the -- to think about. And as well as your preparing for each week. You're you're not drinkers and --"

" While you have friends and -- reds got a reds got him for 69 wins and shed some light thanks."

" Nick I think they could come out of the shadows and a -- and general."

" I'd like Steve came out towards the ball beneath it is the -- he's going to break down sometimes Joey -- psychotic he's going to blow up in your team. This wildcats like lap every weakness wildcat -- simple I don't know why it's confusion that kind of pass through isn't that everybody who won one of the -- us -- while it's that simple Brentwood Joey Porter is what you were dropped. Old way. Will be created after -- now. Let me explain this through the -- running -- actor who does not. The typical one that I -- so I was like that's all you want about Joey -- that -- are not that great this past week he's going to match. And I international. He's mouthing off and it's making him about it and really it's gonna blow up and does he's right about."

" Actually yeah. And I think Marshall was more than not and it situation -- Yeah yeah. That you know he's it was a great martial martial electric."

" Why didn't even go all the places that he had a -- Clearly what you're getting outplayed wouldn't get punished by -- if you're well placed by the opponent why -- pocket when he got the."

" War always thought horrors that is pretty pretty true age he's out of his bag of guys is gonna blow with the white pentagon for the Giants yet heard all the time. The Jets are very well Africa this season biggest surprise biggest disappointment so far."

" biggest my biggest. Surprise. What would have to be -- and you know I'm going to put in the category the ball we just talked about -- the ball and equity the comeback in its one thing the shade of the team is marginally improved I think they're greatly improved. And I think they are going to have to finish that there could have some -- of about that division. Secondly it's art disappointments to -- I don't know -- QB the ball since there thirteen the yet that the Cowboys -- England's Leicester thirteen pro bowlers and a team that can't get out of its way he could. Talk about the quarterback injured Romo but but why were you so ill prepared. If you if you thought you had Super Bowl team which is what they talked about from the minute she's an end of last year by a much better prepared for that a quarterback."

" We'll back there they set up it was a good event over a two quarterback instead of an untested young -- And look what happened."

" But they but but the difference was the difference was the Patriots. It was something about Matt Cassel and the rest of us probably did -- give them back -- credit. But you can I I don't buy it for a second that the Cowboys what what did we all about -- up."

" They thought he could be substitute with all the talent defense and profits that they could be a quarterback. -- a gamble but at the rest the guys."

" True to your color sponsor crown journeyman I don't know what this -- back and play and I also don't like the fact that that that they got that they had to. That Wade Phillips ethical back and take over the -- play call that changed. You know patches does not shopping you lead that should be you know you don't leave uncovered accurate oriented coach and -- public so why this."

" Hold team collapse have a quarterback play important the running game stinks we can't protect what that's what I think's a bigger problem Tony Romo threw his back there a better team but the defense -- always the last soap horse I I can't see them. I didn't have trouble making the play --"

" And especially in the end that division because. I think the Giants far away you know we can make the argument right here who's the better team to match -- the giant a lot of -- it would give the Giants props I've I've been quiet Tuesday and I'm in my breaking up giving Tennessee -- just based on the that battle apparently undefeated but I also think that -- they have a great line every one of their strengths pretty much matches every Giants. Which."

" That they are the Dallas Cowboys are the weakest defensive team in their division."

" Yes and acknowledge that there are also 888 power machine they're -- You look at it you look at Philadelphia right now now I've walked though I'm assuming after three wins in a row. They're going to get -- back to reality against the Giants this week but I think the Eagles will still be. At the end of the day a better in the Dallas and you look at the Redskins as much as they got handled by Pittsburgh -- an outstanding deep bench to hear from. I think they're still pretty solid team better if they're not equal to the Cowboys which they probably are they might be slightly better."

" We talk about Matt Cassel and one way or the other. He's not going to be with this football team next year based on what you've seen especially the last couple weeks. Comparing him to other quarterbacks who have emerged over the last few years some of the younger quarterbacks. How much in demand is he out here in a free agent market."

" Right now I think it's minimal I think it's I think the understanding that I get around -- league. Is that he's pretty well with what that scheme is for him and what surrounding Allen is for him. In the way of Randy Moss away at Wes Welker put -- a different system. Minus that talent. It'll you know be what who what other team is lining up what."

" Nolan you guys. But the benefits -- running and jump off ordinarily aren't -- what do -- when your opponent it's."

" I think that where I think the brain trust I think its systems on the right you know they think he's just been -- persist that I think systematically. Things work for them that and -- capsule that I don't know what workers well I'll work. I think he still I think the -- it's -- out and -- an -- for the straight regions this just the other danger that the Patriots -- it happened Sunday. Like the book on Cassel continued to give stricker and and the critical stages of the keys and that's what we're going to know. Just how great this move really was and how how much -- what really -- looks like it's not changed. It -- each of the 151617. Starter Trent Edwards start figuring out his claws taken advantage of it don't think that's going to happen."

" But auto racing etiquette out -- seven fall victim commend him in and be replacement that's going to adequate job we never thought replacement. Would would go the whole UAW."

" And he's he's got it right he's been. -- further ask for what they've got -- to be five in trade any and in in inning contention to win the division again. It's been -- let's give credit to eat but I think that's also played very well. Let's give credit to fighting a running game up behind -- injured injured areas of depth I think the offensive line has played over Chad. I'm going to get and I think guys like the understanding -- ratings monster and much locker. It's step up big -- help our guy out they're going to happen that effort is going to be reached double I think every week -- she gets more later."

" And that's why I think Cassel gets a big gift this week -- Schobel and no -- that's a big difference specially show you know especially Schobel who could put a lot of pressure on them."

" You can't squat you can't squander that opportunity you're right."

" And that's the -- and that's the strength of a Buffalo was oppression they get from the quick defensive lineman."

" Yeah it's it's their game they rely on -- so heavily. That -- the other thing on Marcus Stroud has done a good start off like a ball player he he's. He's done a good job against the run they well the pats will have difficulty this is where the game if if the pats Patriots at -- in this game. This is why -- control the middle of not afford to shut down the running game. Big -- that they don't want this all on -- arm they'll start cannot put different kind of blitz combinations such just try to come with some pressure. And and if that occurs then bend the bills have a chance to -- they're they're only way to win this game is to get him to throw a couple picks. You know fumbles somewhere in the get a few turnovers and."

" And he built quite with a."

" With a -- of the Q that is. To keep the game of real Patriots have to keep a close to the -- in the -- the threat of a running game to open the play action -- if they get behind by two touchdowns. And half of pro ball that's an -- trouble."

" Right NF they're cashing the bills on the crown. Which you know if I've seen teams -- I saw he didn't have the greatest numbers the world but Thomas Jones made runs when they -- yeah Jets you saw that last."

" Who's -- your brother I'd bet we'll talk to it actually now."
