" Lays -- four -- five. I it's time for coffee with a quarterback as I mentioned brought to you by Dunkin' Donuts. And America runs on Duncan we now go to the eighteenth -- hotline bring in. Tom Brady is what Stearns and Bob new Mira. -- here. Hi Tom how -- you this morning."
" You know you've been. --"
" well -- I'd ask you how you shoulders what we already know from Ochoa cinco on his -- on a Saturday that you fine he says you document your fonts are really good right."
" Somebody I admire here I should be nice to talk to you again. I don't feel like I've got -- do talk use the word -- the past few years the the first Saturday and today that in the Kentucky Derby but it's good dark year ended up. Obviously have to back in the lineup and I guess that you know we do have to. We you have to ask the obligatory question is -- do you think you'll be ready for the opening game against buffalo."
" And I certainly certainly expect Mac -- There are are. I again. Very count it in. Like that played well some aspects somewhere. -- can and it that I. I just fell awkwardly and make. It -- and you. Most people would be able or would I let -- A short week. And it prepared but it Damon and now and then and above well it just right around the corner. BA should be that the next few weeks -- quiet they all. Oh. I'm excited at --"
" Tommy you said that you are you believe you will be expected to play against buffalo and amusing and our reporter had here and by got language. I would ask you whether there is the chance that you won't play against a flowing and opening game."
" Check out. It's. Lot of -- And here. -- Expect it. And I'm thinking. Right now he got hit. I think and impact. -- That. In all. It could play and like there. -- brought on the coach coach made it -- But at night. And."
" You know how much people care about this team and how much they care about you in this town and I want Beckham looked at the video last night several times and hit -- notice that you winced. When you went down but. It struck me that you know it wasn't like you get shot by a sniper like a lot of guys do and like you said you fell awkwardly. But it dawned on me that it'll just a year ago. He had hit it. And you had a -- similar feeling you know you got hit new went down you know how badly you were hurt so in that sense when you got hit again here. We think any self for a moment. -- here we go again."
" I don't think so. I. Back on but. I. Bet I do -- 80. Aren't you are like. There are a lot of -- Area that I got injured in. It last that long out. I. Thought I Greer really. By the nation without. Without you know on and -- buried in the we're back and art of all of or. To get rid of all op art art art art. -- You're out in danger. That it an accurate. Yet have been injured -- not up the are are. Up there we. Are part of our. Program -- that are on the lacks the boy it will end. Give it that a court that he now. Outcrop but in the weight and I try -- some what like -- But -- really part of it part of the job. -- it needs to be he he want where. I. Arctic which. For. --"
" Tom you're -- notwithstanding in the game against Washington. I thought from an intensity point of view this was very high level for pre season game. Having said that. I'm concerned about conservative or nutrition and how you think you. Performed. Obviously the office had a number of series where I thought you guys were clicking. Like you always have with with Lawson. In -- summit -- of the players just as a review and and how you thought that you felt in a very intense game against an above average defense in a hostile environment. I think you feared net --"
" Well I'd like I think it's great that caught. Both those games. Aren't we are very well on our. Again. -- We've been -- up out and I think yeah yeah ought that the always. Glad. Dirt or like. Our. Topic. And not. I. -- It out. Through on the -- are out. -- Which is very different ports are. It. Oh wait. Well. You could wipe all of actually. And and we got to try to -- I don't think here."
" Tom two big stories if -- patriots -- that broke yesterday and last night Kevin O'Connell and Tedy Bruschi. Let's start -- Kevin O'Connell what insight can you give us I think most patriots fans and if not shocked were very surprised. By the news that a guy I was drafted in the third round two years ago that a guy was your heir apparent on -- heir apparent as the backup. All of a sudden was cut by the team what insight can you give -- into Kevin O'Connell."
" Well I I I. That went up. 48 hours. Our -- anybody and why he or. All of it is true act Kevin. I really like. A great art and he's a great player. It's that -- And haven't worked very hard. I love -- an antenna that they're right. Is it exploit it it's it's really all year. A lot of what. But at the up our roster. That are."
" Aren't going luster for a second I have a question about the backup situation told me and its water under the bridge now that it's time of the Philadelphia Eagles. But if the patriots work and are thought that perhaps -- Karl was not a guy to be a legitimate backup to you -- you're -- okay. Had the patriots brought in Michael Vick as the back to you -- with distinct."
" Well. -- had any impact of whenever -- Of the game. At what you do and you know that I'm sure that -- I go that way. That we -- the best player. And Europe are used by web. -- What you -- on your special offer. -- You don't want -- Two games in Tibet where are on the plate. -- And -- Player you aren't hurt your public."
" Tom. Back to shoulder for 12 you sound confident. That when you said last year that when you get hit you knew it was bad. And obviously this doesn't sound anywhere near that in your voice. The more we hear does that confidence come from you know did you have an MRI or an X ray something they'll let you know -- hey this isn't serious."
" I around the and the traitor in open. It's just part of ancient art. It hit it for now get your shoulder. Precaution but what. I think it. Oh we. --"
" Where we get a bad connection Tom. When you're listening to patriots Monday -- dead what you knew -- for Dennis and Callahan. Let's talk about Tedy Bruschi Tom. That this new surprise you. It."
" Eddie could be very you're out there are pretty well right now what ever ever want. That -- But he's been -- a great friend mine. -- And yes. I always thought."
" Yeah I think we can all respect debt but how about in this cents. Try to put him in perspective for us we've been trying to do it this morning. In his thirteen years as a patriot he's one of only a handful of guys played in all five of the Super Bowls. He's obviously been huge part of this team success he was here when you've got here and firmly entrenched as the leader of the team are getting. To that point if not the leader of the team how do you put Tedy Bruschi and prospective."
" Well I think Clinton. It's although. You know you can't put -- Kindle box that's one thing about that he said he. That he is a wonderful man he's a wonderful person. He's a wonderful father husband and he's he's got an example from the data here. And what it means to -- but not -- the -- and and and a patriot and we knew we were together when he went through partly the puppet or his career -- you know he had a stroke. And since then he's really been. You know he's done a much in the community. Raise awareness and -- support for for stroke victims so. You know he's he's that the person who continued to grow. Not a rabbit like that he'd been a great example forever but he that the arcane. And he opened so very high standard. Everyday he he he can not a practice field. As a leader with energy in India and it it was reflected in the way that -- play and in other there's only want pretty risky and and that fan bet that they are able. People love for the game and his love for that the community. And you know going to be missed by everybody."
" Some -- back to your two year rehab if if you can and in and a how hard you've worked out it I'm just wondering if there was a moment and are you had some. Problems with within me an infection in Manhattan you where. What was the over a dark timer moment we thought that may be you were not going to make it."
" I don't I don't think that I'd ever compromise. And topic I think. I try to beat -- an approximate. And you know whatever happens in whatever happened with the injury whatever happens in the games whatever happened. In my life I -- I try to you know deal with the plot development have a positive that people stop talking about mining. Pretty cool. On the -- and out. So it's just. YouTube deal with the circumstances of whatever comes up and and you do your best what and so it in a situation like that you know it it. It's it's a cute thing happen -- come up but you know -- deal with them and and that to me is. Is more a product of what someone's character as a government broke up that rather than the fact that. Injury come up in a -- he's not a mystery but. You know -- this subnet. You know to be checked out units copper and now I'm not incompetent from being collected so I know that the pre ordered the comments follow army in our technical. And I expected a lot of cup. -- You know that that cut away. Well I'm looking forward to drop the -- and the other. Think -- don't go what you planned all all -- you know you gotta wait to overcome those and it's still block their produce on the field."
" Patriots Monday -- Sports Radio 850 -- new Meehan for dad Dennis and Callahan you're listening to. Tom Brady copy with a quarterback this morning -- you by Dunkin' Donuts America runs on Duncan were listening to come on the eighteenth tee hotline. Tom we had a bad connection with the before and and look we all understand. The way you guys do business down there and you're only gonna say so much about your status of what happened with your shoulder but not we have a better connection I think I think you know. Think we all -- fans wanna hear from you how you do want hot what can you tell us about your shoulder about going forward. About the start of the season here. He cut. I mean you know what I'm saying people wanna hear -- voice they wanna hear what would you can tell us."
" Yet and it's it's what does it matter and we don't click the two weeks so the reality is no matter what I'd say. -- September 14 their Oakley Pittsburgh Dave -- what does place mean traditionally doesn't let -- play in the game but. What you want but if you want -- apply apply and and you know we're gonna go out there and try to. You know approve this week is achievement. It could prove a practice that you know -- air make a bunch of predictions about two weeks that -- at all I don't understand what the point is that."
" Nine now -- no me I and there we have our reporters had some what trying to read between the lines in here or (%expletive) to saying you know. How people feel about this team and how they feel about you so. You know again I think they just wanna hear whatever it is you wanna say."
" church and an act like -- it we never been you know -- and what's your prediction -- that I'd just don't think. I think a lot of other teams do that in a lot of other players -- we're gonna make the playoffs this year we're gonna win the Super Bowl this year but it. You know what -- thought wouldn't that mean people make predictions like that and it doesn't it hit -- much about Ayers so. You know. I know it you know -- just feel that you know actions or achievements. The actions of our coach speak much louder than what now what we say it and work it. Environment -- want to be overconfident and to me it's more insecurity -- competent at. You know you're just you're trying to make people believe could maybe you don't believe in -- I think some person. I'd love going out and show. And I think sort of like teammate and and so does our coach and I think that's what we also did so well other than. You know we're we're make our preparations territory. Actually injured -- apparently happened you know we're going to be out there as soon as we're ready to be out there and no later than those -- spoke. Like some popular purse on the team with bumps and bruise but I'm really not in there are -- guys. There are committed to this -- and are doing everything they can't get out there that they can be out there that opening game and I'll work."
" is a business side obviously this game you know about and in the last three weeks. Multi million dollars have been thrown out the lights of Eli Manning and Philip Rivers to quarterbacks that I think that there are. Inferior to that type of play that you bring to the to the table with the patriots question being as we go down the road knowing the salary cap knowing. The contract it awaits you are does that concern you -- all in terms of -- played this year and the fact that you can probably. In -- name your price going down the road. Financially with this team."
" Well I don't ever approach it like an acting. My enjoyment comes from from winning from being a part of this organization you know we've. That's that's where my enjoyment comes from -- it. I've never. You know -- it's it's wonderful -- make you know the kind of money that professional athletes may come. You know with that comes the sacrifice and and you know world prepared to make whatever -- secure because we have so much on hand you know I'd I'd love it really love. In the game and and that -- is the most important thing. You know and it's also -- it's also great that the deal would make the salaries that. And we as professor. It may -- and well still doing which humility and not you know certainly take it regret it because. I don't think that. Way to put -- excel. -- work myself my team Make or Break position. Though it's. Is the most popular sport in the state could grow all over the world workplace again a lot of this year. You know count probably market -- part of growth belief in and I. I hope that we always. What a great product on the field for fans and the fear could not support it in our way I think -- respected appeared to go out. You know -- everything we got so. And I am not concerned with which you know. I'm standing with the non patriots I want a lot there garbage out this year and and what what I experience last year I think on this. I'm fortunate to be out there and but that's really what. That's what -- really feel it and I'll probably OXP. Very. Different experience last year that was very challenging personally. Very challenging fourteen minute. And we overcome not to get to this point and am looking forward to block there and lead guide and and that's what I do remote."
" Now some athletes that they wanna squeeze every nickel out of their situation. And with football because of the salary cap I guess common in -- sense the more money you make. The less the chance other valuable players have to be on your team because. The team can really dole out so much money so I guess what we're you've said in the past and when I assume you're saying in the future is that. I don't use -- hometown discount but that you're not necessarily out tipped to squeeze every nickel out of if you're you're role with the patriots down the road is that fair."
" Well you know I think they're ready it's different every every team -- that spending differently and and you know some -- don't -- into the cap you know there are quite a few teams that don't spend Tibet at a maximum out all of that. You know mr. -- he always. You know he would always done that so. Work coach Belichick can keep. You know -- the area. You know making a personal choices -- That's something that he's really. These are the best that's ever been in that position so. -- a patriot that the organization always make great choices and and guys want a complete for the patriots and you know on the quarterback could always wanted to. You know there's there's no place I'd rather be in or no place I ever wanna be that you know other a lot of these -- contract situation they're not you know it's not up to the player that. You know -- I would shortcut to declare which we can all right -- checks but we don't and you know work labor. You know where -- the people that. You know actual Upton and were trying to return to be the best that we can do so that we can earn another you know approach and our job and I I hope I'm here for a long time you know are part 39 -- yes somebody what you ought to recognize that would be. -- Now with this you know like I said if you never know what you're gonna look and so far into the future. You this year it's Hollywood this year is. You know it. Advocates and some very challenging time that the as a leak of the union and -- we've got to overcome a lot I think everyone is. Really focus on the short term at this point because no one's really aware of where where police court next year and file here."
" my last question has to do with human nature and what you went through last year I know that. You know we -- take things for granted people and in things would have viewed the fact that you did not play football for this team last year in the prime of your career. How badly how much did you miss it and how grateful are you to be able to be on the field in and play again this year."
" Yeah and -- there's. A lot and so many ways in and so many different ways and I'd that I can have the opportunity to before so. We -- what you don't play you you to -- concern an entirely different perspective and and it's a perspective you can only -- what you're seeing now watching your watch and it came it. You love. -- block their play without change you realize that. -- just keeps moving on you know whether -- year or -- not here again and continued that it should and it doesn't stop for. -- opportunity Bruschi it doesn't call for probably been bought for Troy Brown -- where lawyers triplets so it just. McCain keeps move it -- as the chip and and you know because that would you do have the opportunity to be a part of it. You know that that's not met. You should be very grateful for and you know would what you did not -- consistently like like I had you don't you don't have -- you to think okay it's just going to show up and act like sixteen games and -- we go to the -- that's a world tried to do and indeed and you just move on the next treatment well operate works you know. Surely not. Promote space where you're on the practice field we're preaching about. You know beat him out for that you know 727. You know -- practice of training camp in -- You don't complain he's okay that's what it is that we will do because you've got to deal with that -- not be out there."
" So Thursday night against the giants -- one series to series you'll play."
" When it it's that the coach Belichick he -- he's the people bought. Or they didn't use I'll vote on the plate. It's it's always -- for me to be out there's much of --"
" I the prediction that -- have a visor on against the giants that's my production and last question -- last question you mentioned earlier in this interview that it's a work in progress with your offense. And I noticed a couple of things in in the Redskins game where. Fred Taylor for example that a -- one -- and you expect him to go the other Joey Galloway obviously it's hit or miss right now with him. How important is that. This work in progress and if the season -- to start tomorrow you feel confident with where you are with the offense with the new --"
" Well -- you know they ought to stop whether. Whether he'd better put it can't go out there you don't. You're not on the same page and that it doesn't happen very much with much with -- terrain because we'd been -- 200 -- you know -- did you practice together so. They've come up you communicate them usually because it did happen again this is the way we need to do it and the particular that are made out there are you -- make him. Report decisions within two seconds -- If you're not on the same page dated -- complete it looks bad it's. You know you're allotted April with the air quality you run out why did we do that. The only the only is it when he goes well what goes like that with. -- the package plate which would be looked good you know I don't picket and definitely welcome back comes with a lot of practice that comfortable a lot of effort that come with a lot of commute each and ignorant and that that's got to work in progress that that will continue from the beginning trying to get the -- opting to program. All the way through the of the and the -- lacking so. That's what practice that's what we don't want practices that's why we have as many meetings as we do because. When those things come up in the game in order to be on the same page in order to anticipate. What. What each of what we're gonna do than you need to go through all that and absolute trying to do. You know -- came up with particular network to do so. That's that's why on the site about coming in the practice everyday that we can -- to make improvements that we go on the field we don't have those inconsistent performance goes up and down. We know we're we're bringing out one drive and we have a twelve play you know 84 yard drive the next and so. You know we've we've got we've got it working it and and -- need every practice and you know hopefully we're we're prepared the law -- best on the field the -- that."
" So guys like yellowing entail though over twenty years experience I mean. It's it's gonna continue going into the season but you feel good about the communication -- those guys."
" An account and that could contact the market and they're you can cover. You know he can't cover -- enterprise it and that we -- practices and you you just can't -- Were given a 100% every day so. You know with. That the mistake that would make that we. They they continue to come not -- date there. You know they're learning process -- accelerated by a you know I think -- Someone in their first couple years because they've had the experience it would community they know exactly which are talking about so. He's good at what -- make the changes to make the corrections and communicate about them -- you know they're they're. A much better ability that people think."
" I Tom thanks as always and sure it's gonna be very interesting morning down there and fox borrow for a lot of different reasons. Yeah thank you could -- it. I'd Tom Brady copy with a quarterback is brought to you by Dunkin' Donuts America runs on Duncan. Tom Brady on the AT&T hotline it's butch and knew me in for Dennis and Callahan your phone calls and more our next here -- nearly fifty."
