Adam Schefter

" I like Thursday's Thursday's me as one more day of the week and also get their chance double -- chapter from the NFL network good morning Adam usher called. It's better I appreciate guys this next door struggled lately that's he'll actually five. Excellent and that I don't helluva lot better on the -- than you did with us in the mornings he -- you must've done something between the Dennis and Callahan appearance when you -- on the -- good stuff from you know. You I. I'd -- I'd create specific effort or something like that. All of a would you sit on the sideline in the go to overtime where you'd like us we pick in there is no way in hell. That the Patriots lose this game."

" the Patriots -- just -- practiced during the ground almost expecting. That date that was ahead for the Jets. And he'd ever watched the it was unbelievable."

" They showed you guys had a camera on him as the game and regulation ended and he looked like. He had like he had no chance to win the game he totally dejected and."

" This guy you wished that I know I was just an accepted as an accurate we -- you look at. And we should we whereas deflated as they were inflated. It it was the -- quote."

" I was that was a good question Adam because it did look deflated. And I guess if he doesn't convert the third and fifteen they lose the game you say well you know he knew he had no chance he was up against it. But you know they pulled that -- that was it was. As shocking. Turn of events as I've seen in parks or along."

" Well I went back and forth to the play where what projection of 24 to six or three whatever was such. And you'd think boy oh boy this is unbelievable that they're just stepping and the Patriots to that they read and the coaches just walked Olerud then and then. That chance came I mean that close I know that the result is now with the people in your area wanted. But it wasn't as good a regular seating game that you could ever want to --"

" It sure was and an even though it took the Jets in overtime and the luck of -- coin flip that went their way. What they take up the psychologically do you think got a with -- this would have been devastating at a gone the other way for the Jets."

" I don't play out -- the other projects I think you -- mil on this he's got sick that night -- done that's -- and altitude bounced back from. Losing in New England in that session used to losses to the Patriots. You're not going to catch of the division race. You. Get another blow that feeling of -- is just that much reaffirmed. And the Patriots weapons they forget that night as it is I think that there are a lot of -- it date -- Tremendous confidence -- win like dead date. -- get momentum it's it's almost think it -- couples about this topic torment tomorrow colliding together and forming disgraced force that makes you better hitting UTQ are or worst then go worst team actually are."

" Are speaking of the big sleep can we safely say the Buffalo Bills are now taking the dirt nap and whoever loses the Patriot Miami game is probably going to take that dirt nap too."

" I wouldn't say that just yet I certainly don't like to lose -- change and it's just -- kaposi's rubber yet Buffalo put to bed -- dot. And I I buried it declared dead for the loser so they gained just yet but. I think it's obviously a very important game for any -- to keep alive its playoff hopes."

" Hey is this. -- final -- easy back next year."

" Well yeah that that's the other thing about this is we were talking before about the Jets being done a bit -- gave I believe. I believe that. What happened this season will dictate whether Favre comes back if they don't trust -- pretty year. There's success in a plastic case there. Fortunately won't let them back and if they don't make the playoffs it'd it'd disappointing though. I think -- classic by the comeback so."

" Which brings us to the weekly Matt Cassel where's he going question."

" Why that would have limited so it talked of people last week okay. And we talked about is actually get in when you ask this question last week I was of the by the easiest reform billion dollar a year player. It's a market hasn't proven. Did anybody on any kind of consistent basis that he could be it every doubt starter that you know issue because you look at -- that long term solution. Quarterback is an attitude out last week. One week -- Eighteen tire equation just changed. Much. The performance last Thursday night I think economist -- a game where but it socialite. People around illegal watching everybody sees it he plays great throw SourceForge yards. And at the end of the game if you compare to his numbers that's -- seduce you -- Aaron Rodgers. They were almost identical now you've missed -- quality that that doesn't mean very much well actually does because. You know Rogers had ejection numbers starts. They typically -- They are represented by the same Asian. Aaron Rodgers -- day. Five years 63 million dollar contract couple expelling you may say well that -- that is go to their Riders take pride so maybe he's not -- 63. Maybe -- five. --"

" But his. I and you read Peter King religiously every Monday morning he wrote. That the union the players association. Does not now will fight. Any action by a team that tries to sign a -- to the trades -- tactic. In the franchise tag and then trade him. As a winning gets guys heading to free agency. Now -- have you looked in of that because there's some clarification. The on this. They they fight if someone wants in the -- Everyone's all fours like they were with. Jared Allen Tebucky Jones is that a few examples of guys getting tagged and then getting traded is that what the future holds for Matt Cassel. "

" And it's that was witnesses that change in my mind that I talk where after the give -- it to myself. Has to -- support where the Patriots -- be making it or business decision to just allowed this quarterback to walk out the door and get nothing back in return for him. -- upset. You know on the basis of just common sense that you confided all that brought. Patriots can do whatever they wanted to -- franchise which they don't expect their idea -- forcing another team to make a trade forum. -- there that is oh lead right that is afforded to them in the current collective bargaining agreement if they wanted to franchise -- got him. Guaranteed that Cassell eleven million dollars for next year are we going to be -- short rotate there was you taken that nobody wanted to trade for."

" Well you'd find out before you do it. I mean you'd you think engage the interest before -- tagged in altitude and I'm Brady's treat them as well that's true."

" Well anybody could say that their that I think is pitching here is if you are. -- If you're Detroit if you Minnesota. If you -- a team that needs -- quarterbacks coach. -- We not make sense if you that came to go higher Josh mcdaniels. And let him bring him back -- They do get the 12 combination. Okay so just 49ers need to set you can make a coaching change. Why not hire -- a guy that is purported to be one of the top coaching candidates that Derrick got schooled in the Patriot way you know. A guy who is familiar with -- reporting waste. At the age of thirty till you hit -- program. Me. I would think more than anybody else who had the inside track to get a guy like that Cassel won't certainly taken a team which assisted -- if you're at Detroit Lions. Maybe slightly enthused picture of Josh mcdaniels or your coach and back to pass -- your quarterback."

" I was going to ask you -- as McDaniel stocks stayed on the rise Adam I mean you know last year obviously because of the you know the the the atomic offense that that was demonstrated is that still high."

" Absorbed with what he's thirty kill everybody associated with that organization to be their stock is not. Okay if you so credentials -- you have some. Respectability -- you have. People talk to value that he's changed okay -- everything. See you would have lost Tom Brady and they still perform pretty well there's six and for the offense still scored -- gotten yards. They play the way they did rest there's -- yeah -- absolutely."

" Just because you were schooled this particular system and in this particular organization does that mean that that success is going to a rub off on you NB transfer to somewhere else sees Charlie Weis he Romeo Cornell."

" Great point -- did -- on the net except -- it take -- hero but does your -- somebody else would you rather go with somebody who has. A bit more they've proven. Training ground or somebody that comes out of there are some other bleeding blue -- again it's just a matter of perception initially brought. You know you -- an example perception. Dick Jauron end Brad Childress both have 1923 -- it is time that there are -- coaches to try got an extension if you which go Bradshaw as a -- What that the trial won't be about you right up -- at this stage but. -- difference what it sort of extension and why this Childress you know not. Perception."

" They have a coach three part question how many coaches will be fired this year it goes first and guys actually turned out Al Davis will some some guys say -- taken that job."

" First -- some it till I get that would at a absolutely have been. I mean it's not to release date for the rays to hire a coach it -- not -- keeping fit into hiring a coach the past but it would have plaintiff and the reason they were totally it was because -- at a -- USC turned out flat out so they -- The Knicks got a wrestling camp and so yeah that's not an -- because coaches like Jim fassel has all the attributes you're looking for. In Mexico to the Raiders. The one most important that he wants to post here okay they're not a lot of guys who want to do that right now. How but it will be this year last year there were some more changes and if you look back in 1990. There are on average without fail. Six point five coaching change -- per year so if they're also our last year. You could almost take it to the bank that there will be with a certain Doug naive this year we've already seen two bill right Oakland. It was great Oakland. St. Louis so just -- Some of those could be repeats again but I would venture to tell you that after this season that sort what you -- to say December. And we're so that we'll see six more stories of a coaching change its minimum."

" We have Brian Billick on the air yesterday clearly in our conversation with him he still has the gets to coach will he be high on people's list."

" I think -- be people's less and I was unaware that executive still. He's done coaching right."

" Somebody to the -- absolutely yeah."

" LS daily we had a body and it was very -- did got a text message from him slash week any call that but we spoke so would -- never received a your coach get. So yeah would he be going to something I think Toby are people's list absolutely. I think -- expect no -- will be at the top of most less I think that you know watch a guy he looked situation at Philadelphia there's a change their. I think that you would get a guy like -- they are being medalist. They are not an abundance. Of pro. Coaching candidates out there you know seven years ticket. -- de listing and and know that dog but with guys that are worthy of getting just I think that we're related issue it's proven commodities. I don't think both towers would come back and coach okay Brian Billick would like to come back and coached such impossible. You know and it was by test the last couple years. Obviously he wants to coach. Poor -- approving guys have approval where's daddy you know is going to turn Gregor treacherous."

" But don't like orange guy does -- like sitting just yet and sharp so much. --"

" You know what in talking to to ever and then. So they may change but you know he had to -- I'm not coaching attempts for 2010 at the earliest."

" UA lot of the we had about -- honestly. He's he's reached that Joe Gibbs Bill Parcells let."

" I agree you can use. Yet when you must come back -- Ortiz kept it together and it'll be."

" I may forget about Brian Billick which is why it was -- is -- I know he wants to coach again. And he defended Donovan McNabb only coaches and players are circling the wagons around -- McNabb everyone else. Thinks it's ludicrous that the ten year veteran quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles didn't know the rules and overtime."

" What what I initially heard him say that I honestly thought. That he's making it up bad jokes to -- this dominant you know prankster at any like -- com. You know it it just it seemed to be dubbed a bit sarcastic like. So -- a mocking turn away. And it's tough to -- that now I just wonder -- he was kidding I really don't."

" Well and we better than I have yeah he he's in the Mulligan -- could note I don't know but it --"

" Well. That he -- nobody again. Having interviewed him any there were times over the years. Having watched interviews with him he he -- he -- have a good time -- most. You know joke with the interviewers in and and and so I'm I would imagine that you try to bank or you're not in much jovial mood. But that was my first interpretation by our interpretation of watching it the first -- was he's he's been like come I'd give me a break."

" As amazing as him not knowing the rule was Roethlisberger. After that and it Billick yesterday said he agrees that 50% of the players in the league. Would not know the overtime rule which is -- switches I think it's utter nonsense. --"

" I would say that a lot of these guys sometimes. Dole. That is what he's thinking. They word but. A basic rule royal port it."

" It's playing in the game -- like it's an abstract you play in the game and you know. If you don't score it and that's right that's what I think I mean in. He's in the middle of at all and the expect to respect to believe that he thought when it ended they were going to keep."

" You out of this it doesn't matter I'm not sure I buy that because wouldn't shoot if you know that you are on an expiring clock. And wouldn't you -- your approach not change in terms of your aggressiveness to pass of those in terms of your play calling and defense for the."

" Versus Cincinnati Adam over the other aspect of the exactly the sort of -- there was like ten minutes left. -- So once in ten that the Eagles 45 yard line and I'm not offered any of these details. It might have been a minute fifty seconds about -- fourth -- whatever was but you get the general idea. And and it is that the partnership myself. Do wind and they might. Have. Cut all."

" you really don't want the if -- sure yeah. For the last time I mean -- kicked a little chant -- diverse."

" Hey Adam quick question before you go here. Tony Romo took a homeless guy in the movies. And sure you heard. Did he does he do things like that for PR reasons as he learned from Jessica Simpson. And her father and her sister and the value of the -- PR stunt. Or is he general genuinely. That kind of guy that altruistic guy -- a homeless -- today c'mon let's go to the movies."

" But dictated. That you may never really really nice guy and I don't know about this particular incident. And I don't know if -- just -- but. But did not want."

" We went to a pep rally at -- high school -- had that same week with Will Smith which was -- And you know since she went in and led the chief has some nice school. And then -- was going to the movies and saw the guys enough to bring them and I sat with them. And he even admitted he had showered like. And and and romo's that the worry about them in the locker from all the time you know and sat there and watched role models ironically. As he lose notional in awkward with them."

" You know there's a lot of guys know a lot of guys do a lot of attention believing they are here to get better obviously everything that total what that is going to get attention brought to -- up. As a group being altruistic in sort of -- they can always -- attributes that."

" so Labrador in today's society but. You know why it was total. I'm not certain limited that it to make -- backstage he -- to zero --"

" I wouldn't take on the launch instead of to a movie and it's given fifty."

" You know that you don't want to yeah it is and I don't want. State Dallas up wind from the that. All right out of socket -- talk -- right. We talked earlier and actually. See it right now so great whose octave and after that the network with them and tell him."
