" Paul real patriots football weekly but I warrant -- morning. Stunt like everybody felt yeah I'll play. In the morning after a little mobile to surprise them and I understand that that it makes some financial spent an -- but I still was very very surprised."
" Well then you know getting past the stunned part of it. You know obviously Larry as -- made very good points this morning in terms of why they've made -- of the -- understand the financial aspect of it. But you know like -- I don't know maybe you agree with me maybe agree with Larry may be heavy on -- on this but. Frankly this team. He is not as good as it was 48 hours ago. And as someone as a fan who really thinks that this team should seize the moment seize the day and try to win it now. This doesn't help them."
" Why I totally agree I don't really see how you can make an argument team has better right now than it was before they traded so. I understand all the implications and and I think we'll look block to -- and if you look that. Belichick's statement yesterday he even had thought that term and long term. You know the long term interest of the ballclub and I agree with them I think it's is that it eight. Unbelievably betrayed. But a long term future of the patriots -- just. It is a little bit of regrets that I I think most people feel this is a Super Bowl team and if you fall short at the event that you've given away wanted to better defensive players. I think that there is some risk there but I totally see yet but the flip side this straight you're getting. For a guy who took -- Homes I don't think there's much much debate about that he's not gonna be a party UT don't forward. And -- get and our first round pick that's gonna probably be -- top and may be in the top five. And with the potential but that -- being it -- under rookie salary cap. I mean that's an extremely valuable pick and I can understand why they made dismal but it is a rip."
" Paul let me ask you this does this signal in any way shape or form because you know this is well as anybody. You know working inside the organization does this signal any kind of a fundamental shift in the way of thinking in terms of winning now I mean. What's more important than being viable over a long term amount of time or winning a Vince Lombardi trophy."
" Well I think quit you know ever since bill -- here -- talked about. Crying and yet the ultimate goal is to accomplish all the post -- And and that is always being in contention to win a title. And you know on you know but -- era now and then always when I in the future as well and present they've been extremely efficient at doing that and in I don't think anyone really ever has accomplished that he certainly not the salary cap era the way Belichick. And you know there always -- contention economic years that they don't make the playoffs. You could make an argument that they were like last you know there -- 115. They didn't make the -- felt short by. You know would anybody. You know necessarily dismissed their chances if they had some must not use the jet -- beat Miami and -- that don't think anybody with a -- well would've been window dressing and -- would have been one and not -- may have but they weren't they were competitive human. They -- competitive every years since 2001. And I would expect that stop and you know like like he said John I agree with you that they're not as good right now as they were what they've made that you'll but. I also would not be willing to say that. They've eliminated that Super Bowl chances because of this move by certainly think it will be competitive to one adult once again with a went out with -- anymore."
" Talk about the at the end of this year they're talking about there might be -- that there might be a stoppage they having -- kind of labor issues and in cap issues. How much have been affecting European Union doesn't have on this decision being made."
" Outlaw I think that -- labor issues are having an effect on the patriots. Sort of course of action going forward definitely there will be -- work stoppage after this year bill that would be football in 2000 and other potential for a work -- The follow so. Right now and even be -- that this last week that it it certainly looked like golf aren't appoint an uncapped -- next -- And if they don't get this straightened out what then before eleven you know bat not you really I I think that. Really did -- paper for us football and there's a real chance that they don't put football 2011. Obviously the -- the bank -- effect that that's going to be the first year of the news media right and if they can get that done and then get somebody's. You know. And it issues worked out like we talked about the rookie salary cap and things like that right now that those top ten pick the top. At the top seven or eight picks aren't anywhere near as valuable addition. And we don't know the reasons why these guys are making so much money what I do anything in its cost prohibitive while I think that -- the patriots are banking on. This being a Big East and peace is getting ironed out and there's new CBA in place but there's certainly no guarantee that that adds to the risk factor. If you wouldn't you -- warrant perhaps not win the title this year and then. Did double whammy in in in the you know -- a year or so and not have this CPA and place. And I you have the first topic that not all that valuable and it didn't win the Super Bowl so there is some risk if -- the --"
" This is a good old fashioned crapshoot is what it is and I'm wondering I'm wondering why. Because when you know I that you stand a better chance. Of something closer to a guarantee in keeping Seymour in winning now all. Why they've decided to roll the -- like this side to -- it does signal a bit of a change. In philosophy go on is the win now and worry about it later thought process."
" Well like I said China I think that they've always had worry about it later. But process but in that they've done a good job of doing. At the same -- now this is the first time. That I can recall them sort of pulled the plug our guys -- really like this. When they didn't really after -- let guys go green jacket make the argument you know when it that is batters in the cookie -- they had reached signs and you know may be -- intentional when I was suitable or in a spotlight that by. He was of create they've let you know it it's been a valued -- this is the first -- can really be called -- the plug on a guy when I had a month contract and you know it wasn't -- constant it's gonna -- six it in and get money so. Yeah based safe read what three point six and change right on the on celery but it is cap that was what nine point seven sort of -- that that money. And that's a lot I mean that's a lot of money but. Well if they -- in a couple of guys signed to extensions you know even one of those big guys awoken and in Europe or will orbit someone like that someone can work out deal and we know the going to be competitive and so they're gonna have a chance but when it. I would doubt that you're looking back and and you're identifying one individual player Richard Seymour has been the difference between winning a Super Bowl or not but the fact remains that they don't win it people will be able state."
" Let me ask but that simplify it for a minute -- if it can be. Presented this way did it come down to a choice between Wilfork and Seymour."
" It's quite possible and you know I was -- as some people yesterday Larry and they've talked about eight they have made some. Some efforts to get and signed -- and you know obviously they haven't really done much about the urgency or they would have been trading him. The way they did so. Perhaps you're right you know maybe maybe maybe you will what is the more valuable commodity you know. I I think people outside that -- I think most people that you know what most pages and -- Very dead set against the this appointment they think it's -- well what that is really that much of the debt went from in his only two years difference in an agent people think that they is that this huge gap. Between their rates it was going to be thirty next I think next month right and it -- books 28 so that -- that you know it's not that big of a difference there. He's a big guy I'm not sure how long he's gonna be able to play and that's -- with you know with his size and he's been remarkably durable as the patriot in and -- it does a great job by. The other factors guys and we've seen a lot of this so -- this summer they're gonna put oil and lions it's not necessarily bad individual. You know typical aren't. Position -- nose tackle what you PLO what that it's just you know two defensive tackle that plate. You know that's -- side you know yes well we'll be an excellent player but maybe he's not quite unique if you would be if you look at Europe and almost that -- so packets. I could it both sides and I certainly think. The patriots would be you know well within their rights."
" Have you seen -- more valuable yet have you seen much from race."
" You know. I thought early and -- it looked really good in the end I studied at a -- a little bit but that's not really uncommon for -- you see that happening kind of flash a little bit early and in -- at a level off a little bit but that I think it's a good player I'm not sure if oh well what type I think he can he can take up space. Like well what does but I'm not sure if he's going to be. Sort of having the potentially get you know -- around a little bit. Yes athleticism and it is their backfield and do some of those things but yeah I think he's a very good player -- I think. You guys keep them -- Apple's second round I think that was what -- they pick in the second round. And a big activate it on all of them and a Monday -- a huge contributions has refused I think all of -- those got good players."
" Well I guess then you're talking about -- their particular -- you know Paul -- prepay crystal ball legally with -- here. It sounds to me -- may be that had something to do with the way that they shifted in their thinking toward either Wilfork are -- if it came down to an either or. Because maybe they figured brace wasn't necessarily. The stopgap measure if we don't Reese signed Wilfork."
" There outside of that last one decision may be -- thought that -- maybe they didn't think race was the quote unquote replacement for will work if we. If we lose Wilfork."
" Yeah I mean that's possible that they felt like that and not -- I'd like a that I like great I think he's been nice player I think he's gonna I think he's gonna contribute. And now I think especially now -- straight I think he's gonna need to contribute. Probably -- later I think it needs more guys. Especially -- they're gonna put formats aren't they gonna need you might write in and Jarvis Green and I think Ron brace I think it -- to contribute. Got paid if they looked at him and that I'm not sure that he can be. And nose tackle it and it was Loos and but let's -- I don't think it's coming back as a foregone conclusion because of the C -- Newly yet know what what -- guy I know the patriots would want to pack but what -- report says hey now they have to beside. The prices went up."
" Yeah now that's you know what that's actually something that we have not mentioned this morning but you're actually a 100% correct. Yeah I found that Wilfork and out and I and his agent or if I'm his you know negotiator. I absolutely say in the price just went up all right okay Vince how would you like Oakland."
" Well yeah. This. You know it and and on who don't discount the fact that that was part of -- you know people look at Oakland and failed Michael what do they do that and a but I listen I know it's -- democracy have been. And I know that they have probably not and -- you know it was looking for but. Now I I wouldn't worry I don't know this for a fact but I would worry that the gap is just widened because Vince looked at that they have to pay out that there offered."
" Well but my last question is. Briefly tell me a cart to be about the linebackers in the secondary make me feel better."
" Well -- like it's available I'm back to make you feel better other than that I think we need to surrounds Jerod Mayo sort of armour makes it -- happens. I just don't see a whole lot of -- I think the bailiff this is the prime to have a pretty good season I think Jerod Mayo was really gonna step up and becomes star. Out beyond that I think they have some question much just like everybody else think that -- not the secondary. I am a little bit walked in covered by now I know the performance in the summer hasn't been great. But I do think there are a lot of them and basically all moving on new parts a point and have totally new cornerbacks with. You know Bodden and it will height springs is anybody's seen bring it. That's suspend play at one of the games and when he has been on the field and practice I think he's a really good. That the opera now is that he is a very very good player and yeah there was able to stay healthy and in his -- you would expect that to get better at this stage of his career -- he's 34 world's. Yeah exactly. But I think exists solid player in yet the capability of playing inside and outside and I also think it's probably play a little bit safety. They -- to have back there. I think. You know and not model moment it's I think that the event probably may have the potential they have five or six rain starts up a lot and a lot eternal army unit. I think they're probably gonna have to struggle early on. But I think at some point maybe applicants is in. This has been a development was very very good -- that I think they have the pieces in place. I think Belichick has worked very hard to get younger more athletic I think it's it's working I think I'd like Darius butler and and will heighten these young John. And you know the list goes on and on mail obviously has already done it but I think. As these pieces get integrated into the into the deep I think it culpable I think it's going to be a very good unit out the only question is how long does that take my hand does it cost them. You know teams any gains yet we you know what -- that you're there's even the in the play."
" Yeah it doesn't it don't cost you -- legitimate shot at winning a fourth trophy in this decade."
" Right and if you look at San Diego was the worst division of football -- And we all know they have the Al -- although they have more more problems by guest with our men now but. That's a pretty good football team that's playing a very bad schedule. So I don't it seem ridiculous -- in the -- right now but there's a chance to pick and up with a better record sure they have any schedule -- the patriots is a little bit more daunting -- Like -- if -- if it is struggle a little defensively maybe you'll lose it -- other two in the first. Six -- seven games. All of sudden you know that it's it with a better record in -- and you know you have to go on the road and all kinds of funny -- happen I think the -- like this that are better at Diego and certainly. I'll take my chances were Bill Belichick against -- trying to anytime but. I would I would want -- vehicle fourteen into an optical cross country to put -- a playoff game you know that's not yet you know situation."
" Now the topic against the run on down the line Paul what would have picked up yet and put it into the absolute -- don't really except that we have lots of focus on down the line right. -- So that's exactly -- it's always good talking to you my friend thanks okay. -- appreciate it we'll -- around the shop. Paul Perillo patriots football weekly."
