" you -- or you know great first that we it will show me. So although where for years you know. Help which is weird place then we -- I don't think it was to"

" not clearly at Dallas five years 35000020 million in bonuses and guarantees is not money to be sniffed that. But by most accounts you can have gone somewhere else you can have dragged out this process you can made a couple of visits may be one to San Francisco and a couple other places else other places gotten more money from somebody else or maybe even. Driven up the price here in New England you chose not to do this you signed. First and foremost for the patriots why the -- why so early why not go for a Reebok."

" So in the or Q I -- it. What that but by the -- they're acutely it was quotes. Who -- in again so if it is on the wall they like you know. Just -- you know first positions there's so -- okay and the people on Saturday. If -- replace these. Is it -- great players league -- colon whose. -- golden -- With the there's a to fit it in hope of it. Then that's what they one important. I don't want to credit to a cart is true in the it that -- I don't know we'll go to two pistols is an important ovals or. I know from the room is that we want it. Our work with there you know well funded something do you still there view that the vote -- a little -- before. You know. The wood ever -- what would open for spare that -- every year. Oh position ultimate but I was fitter and then that we it was me you know. But they would've been consistently all. This will be your I respect that and so if this -- in the community.

" We heard that you hit it off with bill bell -- check out in Hawaii for the pro ball can just tell us in what way he surprised you was he different than the guy you thought that the guy you heard about and did he start the recruiting process out there you guys prepare for the game."

" Of the -- of credit for a also over the winter and crew who -- all but nobody can it is late. A beautiful one of those. All the players top of the pop up as saying it with Michael if there's quote. You know you I mean I'd just totally you know -- certainly looking -- heart -- You know just real -- and -- and I couldn't -- will -- Make it that way what you know what it it's you know we're and -- a lot of coaches. But it's like affected you know you can open field you know those -- if it was these because it is -- opportunity -- we didn't go well. Who it'll mean whatever he always does -- is oh. To motivate -- but as for the crew you know I just got to speak to a typical. Typically it."

" You didn't like get too drunk on the beach and its promise to cut a Deke did you how much discussion was there about your role. We know -- used in a million different ways. And you know won't -- it'll probably continue here in New England. But do you have to actually get in the specifics or did you with telecheck about how you gonna be used."

" I mean you know we're living with this -- that goes there will be a present for performances. -- you know something all of that there's. Florida -- that it used everything is it is. Within the locals with approaches. They're used to it ends with a -- what is it and so as he goes or at least you can be as successful sort of it. Ohio what could be used. It seems like restricted the question a releases like these kept me in the coaches probably use of the this would mean as -- couple."

" It -- only follow that question up with this -- more roundabout way obviously you can lineup in five or six different positions defensively. Does the fact that bill that would tech is known as sort of a chess master and likes to move players around different things in and it just. Does that synergy exist between what he likes do and what you like to do on the field that's fair to say."

" I administered think that update those who know play those. Look at quality difference -- please let uses only two different seasons removed is open. It was almost let -- they've been with should it always. Different different ways of situation when you know put them in the district which is as good as it was for the and so what since."

" The -- is there any position on defense that you can't play. Even -- even nose tackle"

" I don't think this is located right. We'll both they're both football is."

" Can you cover Marvin Harrison one on one down the field that"

" I don't know about you know yet but it is to submit to whereas but -- you know that the that the on the day. Things like that the you know I'd but he did you give anybody like you to if they can do."

" Well what what about your role against the colts I assume you did you -- well and that and that and that playoff game kept my the end zone did this a big deal here -- this team. Is obviously not happy to win 12 or even 14 games it has to get past the colts. Are you confident that you can make that difference that you can cover -- covered Dallas Clark a kitten Peyton Manning's face and make the difference in this rivalry."

" We're so I think. Of articles that there -- little used -- knows relationship the if you do one of those things were winnable war. Postpone -- you know until we want you to choose -- element on the difference maker the excessive lot that -- there's there's no one -- is bigger. So you do with it's constantly but the cold weather over wrote that I. -- that -- and those two but if you -- that was part of the dumbest.
