" It's our number two Dennis and Callahan on a patriot Friday joining us on the ball a lot on the -- he outlined eighteen to your world delivered. Patriot tight end Ben Watson good -- bad how aria. I don't find any could explain something to me win win patriot opponents opened their miles and yap prior to a game. The patriots to a man publicly and maybe that's the keyword. Publicly downplay the importance of those incendiary words that after the game after you smack them around. We come to find out that Anthony Smith and Freddie Mitchell and who knows maybe on Sunday Kerry Rhodes really did. Fuel the fire of the New England Patriots competitive spirits which is it doesn't matter or or it's something you can use."

" While -- you are you are not."

" Olivea rarely before and obviously. It doesn't really matter. What -- say. Very the very you know we -- the the prepare move move move would not try to get caught up on the war war and I'll bet spoke -- who we leaders -- prepared to present here. To be our opponent after the -- of course. -- fumbled format may become out but you know we do our best and a coach who booted out of some of look. You know you've got the over the wire. That they're marketed our partners do to prepare the political order."

" If you are Rex Ryan would you try to change the culture and we know people tried before to do it does stand up and puff out their chest and wolf. And generally they get slapped down but as an organization. He's coming into the jets they've had their butts handed to him by the patriots since 2000 down there. Does that make sense if you or Rex Ryan the try to change of personality that try to add some swagger to try to change the culture of the New York Jets to at least make his players believe they can be competitive with you guys."

" not think about any codes are also more. The -- of -- it's very difficult they're going to hang it aired a you do are really think you could do it. Attitude toward keeping your door there and not let these -- May edit those -- doors to reboot. Took yours player Graham and give them department repair."

" Would a bad do you know what Kerry Rhodes said and if so how did you find out."

" I don't know I don't both the book honestly. -- and -- attention to a you know we're prepared. Wanna -- built."

" Police said their god that they don't want to just beat -- wanna embarrass you. And he also said that they were gonna rattle Brady and it guarantees -- gonna hit a more than -- guarantees he'll hit they'll hit Brady more than the bills hit Brady."

" Well the player I'm not prepared here avid -- you are going to bode well when this week not -- I don't know I'm not. I almost the teacher saw I don't make guarantees Moscow but you know it is -- feel about it period. You know proper respect no doubt that you know whether that's due out on welcome --"

" You know your quarterback how will he react to it will he bring it up. In practice in the locker room will will you hear about it from Tom Brady. "

" Now I mean we we try -- the -- we try who went -- about it I'm not certain things from. You know whatever it's not that some of the -- Obama they met we just don't hear at all but what I'm saying is that as a team. We are not the let it affect where were playing on emotion you know we've -- the -- future in the replay are provoked. You know -- the emotion fueled that what we are to understand what you're also performed by it in -- Obama -- to read part of most of rewards."

" Well you -- improve what you just said execution first emotional later couple years ago when when Anthony Smith ran his mouth off. And and Tom Brady Brady burn him at least twice once on the screen. Are played two Gaffney I saw the most up on the Tom Brady like reaction of ever -- You are talking about -- Rendell the -- finger and in Smith's face. I I don't nobody said but I'm sure wasn't made for roasting pigs Serena Williams at that line exactly. So so I guess that's that's the formula you say execution first then let the emotion come out."

" Exactly look and Dorsey -- Durham of course you know all those very from the week there's -- out. Gonna come out when you make -- play but it you don't make I needed spark there are taught you know what the --"

" And Ben it's time for that the big question that you heard so many times before we watched Monday night you were spectacular. You head 21 good catch one great catch as clutch catches you've ever made. Can you do that every week now -- gonna see that every week this year."

" What a vote before about we're element predicts. About co op art you do is -- and you know of opportunity it's automatic support not about group."

" The -- back shoulder catch we we I know you're that you probably rank your catches. But there you watch the replay did did you feel like that that's among the best of government."

" A couple of -- and it. Not just just want to know lots of William again you don't but don't think about. You know that the special player that very -- you know -- back a lot not a particular. A break here small orbital Rupert army -- with the ball. --"

" Is it but I know that particular case there was no indication used no time. Based on where you are in the field and and where Brady is on the field for an indicate to you he's going back shoulder are other opportunities there passing play off that would develop the he lets you know it's gonna be back shoulder."

" Or update it there it that was the employee. You know but also you have people who are disputed what where what we're gonna thought back -- part of Bob probably -- that you -- very very typical backs all the work. In all -- so the impact is but you know about Larry. Pal ever caught up back there but. You know that's why you news bought their perfect payment or deploy and you don't give that out there have been able to beat Uga you would do -- kind of thinking. And you know look government --"

" Our -- don't straddle the fence on on this answer what was better. Your catch or Brady's throw."

" I wanna cooperate so because you put out the ball bureau does it go bald. That's the spirit it if you ever want another ball -- a."

" we were saying Tuesday what was better the act catch or the rundown of Champ Bailey you used to be just the guy that ran down Champ Bailey -- of the guy who made the spectacular game on Monday match in Brady's comeback game on Monday Night Football."

" They're well. Oakland that was built usually air through."

" why why did it take so long to take those shots that on the field. I know the answer may be tactical in football terms but. What we will wait and for much of the game for Brady to go and on the field either you or -- somebody and finally did and it worked. Why wait so long."

" We're. Not out on the on you know every game promote the the specific game player and not what they're meg very I know what that. That many he'd shot from Puerto Rican government -- total -- they'll need you don't play the employment you'd play. It also religious there's that -- parker though."

" Event you have any explanation for assists as to why the tide and historically. Has not been a bigger part of the offensive arsenal through the -- obviously a great wide -- But look at Bledsoe had been coach who seem to be the ice cream you know if he was third and six on the wide receivers were covered. You know Bledsoe to Coates was almost automatic and it seemed to me that that the patriots could utilize a little bit more of that and and and make you with a -- adds a little more automatic for -- Brady."

" They -- they everybody everywhere every coach Eric -- dispute differ. In order there you -- and everything that they're gonna hurt he -- the personalities don't come. I don't know why. That it. Whether they're aware of the order that are told -- that you know because being you know we await game you have. On the you to -- out there -- gave him about the ultimate goal a bit but it's been together. Do. -- here's your dollar and they're bought their -- okay."

" It what does former patriot backup quarterback Kevin O'Connell know that Rex Ryan and I try to suck out of his brain. Before Sunday's kick off what -- questions will Ryan be asking Kevin O'Connell what kind of information Kenny spill his guts and help the jets."

" They DuPont air remembered -- from remote employees to lose information do you probable. Protection. Personnel. Anything you could bingo you've got."

" And how much of an advantage will cleaning that information from a former backup help the jets."

" Probably not much probably. Here at the team -- that. Ever been burned every week you don't actually want -- on Barack Obama to you about we. In -- about whether -- that area so. There's something a very common release candidate not the first that ever happen at a won't be the last well it would seem to build to order to look good not the move."

" It's a -- Kevin O'Connell fuel use -- it gets released like Sunday night at midnight. If you use that you don't yet know shut up play in the fourth string quarterback 04 and orally -- be an altitude of marijuana would bring many pads -- the no. End -- no equipment. If you used appear -- Kevin O'Connell."

" What are the -- that was reviewed theatres in region you know. The on the -- is you know. Oh -- about the goal you know -- you pick the argument genocide is not the greatest -- impressed somebody government you'd ever amount --"

" So do you use do you go into week two or -- go into the season signal into week one that can. This could be my year you have. -- to give -- that fifty catches is that a goal kind of goals does a pass catching tight end have in this offense. As this year begins."

" Well you -- there's a -- there. It needs to be here at the very number you know not so my group what was in my career. You know you're gold followed them through on the last year ever improve on on you know your best year so. I mean -- that would be -- but the -- to open a musical history. Improve -- the -- or improve your preparation and -- sometimes even when you're prepared to England. You know play well and you don't regret and those you also Bozo. In a -- or our target heart from two. Make up a good picture our our maker cervical. Aaron. There imitate their albeit -- saying it because of the of a lot of things that are on here but also on you know but the ball for me do. You know how to build we want the that there aren't you -- each -- to build on."

" A bad and dumb it down for for Jerry and me here with a little football 101 win win the patriots play a team. That that is blitz happy you know whether it be the ravens with Rex or -- the jets with Rex for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Teams that generally bring a wide variety of blitz blitz looks and what packages -- how does that change the -- the approach and specifically for you were tight end. -- Europe roles and responsibilities change when somebody is blitz happy on a particular in a particular game."

" Well he doesn't have to be alert. You know impractical. To have minibus that -- and -- and our producer there'll be some variant also under that we have seen a real threat that the air. -- So you know -- and it it you know being alert our hero. As far as art and -- and the effect because you're you're out of this guard recovered. Was it -- also you know you're hot -- when you're -- and ultimately split. And their offensive output such as our -- very or are gearing. You know win. Don't know where there was some pomp and being -- suck it up by the Omar."

" Looking only at last year's games Pittsburg and and the ravens are are their blitz approaches similar or dissimilar --"

" Similar that that was similar 22 record in old -- there them. Well medical you don't solve it. You know it it definitely similar -- thought -- merit. Just a lot of a lot of local marketplace. No problem cosmic where. Other sort of required -- you remember and they demand and elsewhere there -- a -- like every mother about it and it -- so. Its critics are monitored whereas you know -- outcome mark let."

" Our final question then what would happen. You about two minutes after you've got off the phone with us. If you -- Kerry Rhodes that we don't wanna just beat the jets -- little embarrassed them. Are we gonna be around Sanchez we're gonna hit a more than six times and with a guarantee it we're gonna punish them we're gonna win the game. Well what happened to you -- hung up the phone."

" Probably wouldn't even look in the war Amman where from deliberate now budget when you go. Up. There are very -- on the front door there ever been held told about it don't but he did beat you don't there abrupt about folk -- were all."

" Yet not not a good career move to say that for the if you're new in patriot. Air rip everybody there aren't that Watson thanks throughout the talking to try to good luck on Sunday will be watching. Our current popular art that -- Dennis and Callahan on eighteen to got one AT&T your world."

" Expand around you know big big big Big Ben Watson and it is I mean let's face it. Is C a Monday night is say he does that all you area secret IC's -- I did the math that would be six is 86 -- well. -- and like the 32 cuts. Nobody talk about Champ Bailey anymore."
