Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" Welcome back to a patriot Monday the quarterback our our great friend -- sighs and joins us on the eighteenth he outlined AT&T. Your world delivered good morning -- how are yet."

" I'm doing great guys good morning took a long night for May have both China and the Yankees went deep into the night yeah."

" I guess you have to follow the instructions asleep faster on a night like last night right."

" Also as you know what the baseball game lasted longer than ample all of America as a means basically a house slow baseball get I don't know haven't -- denied that it."

" Look at the bright side boomer at least a Monday night games not London."

" Exactly but -- out there watch it's in Washington DC around assorted -- could -- prepayment --"

" You will get to that the second turning the patriots -- in your mind boomer was this football game over before Brandon Meriweather intercepted Josh Johnson. On the fifth play of the game right after he scored to make it seven nothing."

" I think it was over either Tuesday or Wednesday. That during the week what are you more -- the head coach who could have been Buccaneers. Basically admitted to everybody that his team. Have a chance to win football games so going -- it -- operate pepper really argument so -- a legitimate shot even when I put on some of the worst teams. In the though outdoor gear but I played always thought we could beat whoever we play in that weekend. And the head coach really in my estimation during the week dropped the ball what he basically flat out admitted that we can they -- these."

" I'll pay are you impressed by the patriots combined score in the last two games of 94 to seven. Or is that mitigated by the fact that it's come against Tennessee and Tampa Bay combine over thirteen."

" Arnold the other guys you'd -- there's no question about that -- the two teams that they played the last two weeks it is absolutely disasters. For all and for different reasons com. And you know he did you -- can take that into account so what I wanna watch other Minnesota Vikings. Who bought yet there's games six and -- and realize that for those wins came properly counted against Cleveland. Detroit Saint Louis -- yourself how legitimate of the football -- market I think there are very good -- go to. But the fact that they put those retains a road yes they they had an uptick in competition. Really can't tell the true story have a look -- that the could be up -- help make the schedule up appoint Obama's schedule -- don't want. What really good teams do they they beat -- bad team down whenever -- the -- in in the game that never get the chance even remotely big board game that they have a chance to win big and so I get credit for that but you know you really can't take you let the games too seriously."

" I think boom of the patriots. -- easier chance play in this game in. In London than they would've been -- a minute -- they with the away team officially but there's no way that that Tampa team and you and you pointed out. The approach the coach took midweek. At any confidence they knew that this trip was gonna affect them and it was gonna help the patriots and I look at it more so on the silent sent. You know you you are all over your head in this menu just -- you are not capable of getting your team ready for a for this kind of challenge."

" a lot of teams like that right now but -- there was some ugly football we have played and others -- big disparity between the haves and the have -- most notably at the quarterback position constantly. They're probably about thirteen of fourteen quarterback and -- didn't we can win and -- they play and the -- late which is basically capital it is absolutely horrendous at the position and watching the way that -- offensively yesterday it was an embarrassment to. -- well."

" Let's get to the quarterback list I want to do that because I -- did a brilliant job you kept the pithy you kept the quick -- good TV guys showed. But then you left some room for debate I'm -- at the end of the day did you have any regrets boomer did you think. You know maybe Aaron Rodgers did belong on your list."

" Well let people pay attention our show did note that though we want. I'd say that Aaron Rodgers -- going to be -- often prevent DP this year admitted he was gonna go to the super -- going -- patriots. And I have not often that -- want to reserve -- with novelist that the two losses that they have worked very directly attributed but he has an ability to get rid of football is the most that quarterback and and football has too many negative plate now starting. From yesterday for the next five weeks. Aaron Rodgers could be the leader in the clubhouse and of course that Palmer who did not make the list -- try to tell everybody remembers it was for the first six weeks of this -- and only. The biggest surprise obviously with Kyle Orton and number five what I take power over com greater -- Ben Roethlisberger I had to pick a pick today you know the answer obviously -- a."

" Brady was six we should point out some anyone who missed -- of course Peyton Manning was one. Drew -- to -- five -- six shop was on the list Rodgers was not on the."

" Exactly and and the -- through the first six weeks of the season and yet remember also that match -- like -- came in at number nine was marvelous because he received the least amount of the current. At the support from his -- the first six weeks -- the seat and yesterday he had a good game but yesterday course Apollo had a great game Aaron Rodgers against the -- all around they're great and policy aren't doctors do that on the road in Chicago wanted to beat him beat Minnesota next week or we can do this against some good teams. And not just be blocked -- a horrendous teams in the top elected Detroit Lions and we've been around so when I looked at it only has spent three days ball to all the numbers took a lot of things into account. And you know I'm sure that at the end of the year Brady Manning reach -- Ben Roethlisberger. All be there at the end so -- all right stand by my picks I know that they were. Somewhat. I think I open it for some people but it could change next the next six weeks as well."

" Over at the other end of the quarterbacks spectrum when we sit there and watch. The three spent for example -- Josh Johnson with a blank stare on the sideline or. Flailing aimlessly out on the field or Jake DelHomme and Jay Cutler and Matt Cassell combined for nine interceptions and three losses. -- both patriot band should admit to being spoiled watching Brady fashion his craft every Sunday."

" Well even -- Tom Brady not that is that's why I don't think he's really even remotely come close to was that he could save it. Last week with the you don't all the touchdown passes -- through against Tennessee. That was one of his best games of -- career I've got to look at it that way I look at it at because that is you know kind of been. A little bit inconsistent during the year to a couple of interceptions yesterday that he really hasn't played his best football -- back after that -- usually does -- on the back -- about gays when they get into games against tocchet began the Indianapolis Colts again. Europeans of that nature where he's gonna have to be on in order produced in the win. And there's no question and and I think you guys know this over the last as sever years that we work together. -- I have not the but the utmost respect for the way Tom Brady played the game I think he's only gonna get better as the evening goes on mom so I would say yes. Taken for granted -- which you know he's always gonna -- there and give UA oh when he performance but I don't think that this year at this juncture that he hasn't played his best football yet."

" Is the cliche that we've heard for years and years still applicable here that's a quarterback league. If you have Josh Johnson leading your team or Jake DelHomme leading your team you have no shot to win in this league."

" Yeah major markets also -- you know let's start paying out more -- nor network now local opera and the team around him. You know there are so many other players. Even like on the bill I don't know how to build one blasted -- but it just hammered eat sensibly. Yet come up with a key turnovers at the moment at that keep constantly game and and they score late touchdown. By some fluke situations so that there's no question that they have Little League right now it just is just terrible the political -- but set up rules not rules are directly attributed to beat. Playoff game between the colts the patriots what -- pump. By 67 years ago. Were now all of them to come to wide receiver league becomes the quarterback leak and the rules would vote with protecting the quarterback. You know make you wanna -- and throw the ball 35 the 45 times which goes completely. Unconventional compared to. You know the thought process of coaches of yesteryear."

" right -- you -- snap judgments and I know you've -- it will and we overreact but the patriots lose one game -- the jets and starts screaming the sky is falling elect a look at the big picture I -- this question anywhere anyway is there AFC dominance of the NFC in the league right now -- sort of -- the American League being moved far superior to the National League and yesterday's snap judgment is. Patriots -- Tampa Bay. Indianapolis -- Saint Louis Pittsburgh beats Minnesota Houston over San Francisco. Buffalo beat Carolina in Cincinnati wipes out Chicago is there NFC. The AFC dominance like -- see the American legal nationally."

" A you know encouraged me -- broke out talked about the totality of -- can -- send -- of the top teams were brought against each -- because he would he would -- FC -- each -- current -- could almost feel like the AFC -- overall as the com is the best vision and football support because you might have some of the best quarterbacks in football all right there. I do agree that you can say yes more more physical football fans even yesterday watching the -- in the dolphins the dolphins played for the most part. Three really really good quarters and were able to Obama ball on the on the on this -- so what -- they had been able to run and against the jets and of course the colts so I would say overall yes I do believe that there's better and more political football that he played in the AFC right now. But you know guys would come down to is who going to be hot in December who's gonna have a great little playoff stretch run much like the patriots did back in 2000 on the giants -- a couple of years. Of course Arizona last year because all of this stuff right now. Is just to set up Puerto that they another big part of this whole thing doesn't -- start taking place into the middle December and then we have to wait find out who is actually needed brutal war church -- with the least amount injuries who's standing on his quarterback is more in the."

" And Barbara what -- value were assigned to do that quarterback list that ranking you did in this was as you kept pointing out for the first six weeks of the season. What do you had to do for all time where where would your partner in the Dan Marino rank in which they had to do the top five."

" Let's talk now Tanya ask these guys are you know -- feel about Brady and Joe Montana bits more than one -- right there because I played against Joe Montana and because he's still Super -- rates from may I know we still hold -- at the top of the list and maybe if -- able to get a Supreme Court to hear of orders correct you'll also passed some -- in my estimation would be three. That we're talking about guys like John Elway. Who's got multiple Super Bowls. Don't talk about Johnny Unitas and things of that nature for right now the -- it it's Montana and Brady overall. And and it's would be many immediate Elway. And then you know because -- was such a great player and played on teams they're really weren't supportive of in terms of you know defense and running games that you still belongs but in my estimation in the top five us."

" And David -- oil would be right than -- six."

" Up up -- well you know what I would help them. Reacted damn what you play for Don Shula and you place for -- jump even though you'd Jimmy didn't get along and still play it for two very competent head coaches. I mean I've played for David Shula and you know Richard -- I. That was part of my Bermuda Triangle piano a felt -- that I live under."

" You did point out I think this was legit that the number one item on your list of criteria was wins correct."

" Exactly so and that's why that's like Kyle Orton doubles all he won't want interception through -- and."

" And it was a hail Mary that that Randy Moss picked off."

" edit edit and he has played completely clean football is played under this Josh McDaniel. System that -- Daniel told jig column before they trade Jake or listen. I can make a high school quarterback it will pro war and you don't want them repeatedly gonna right now on and I and I think that you know there are some people and belief that you deserve some credit. When it comes to the success that they're happening right now that you -- nobody thought the Broncos would be there no republic or would play declining as well look he's planning so it's not a slight towards anybody else I mean arms abroad the -- power. Didn't go off on the fact that I had Ben Roethlisberger number seven but the what I didn't like ultimate figure out big Bennett on two interceptions for touchdowns cost this team games he's brought 72% of -- passes but it also been sacked sixty times and committee -- you. When you put that up against it many times and sacked twice -- on its sacked three times it's up like that there were other there were other variable that played heavily into my quotation."

" Over your Rex Ryan. Are you more upset that your quarterback Mark Sanchez last week. Was sitting on the sideline during the game against buffalo sad and depressed with the hang dog look or. In the -- against Oakland hot dogging it literally eating a hot dog on the sidelines have a good time."

" No I got to the bottom of that the recent he had not thought was because you -- the get a stomach virus going into the game -- gotten and he didn't -- any thing or pregame meal and he was seven major hunger pains and and you he needed something -- need. And then one of I just want to -- look at -- hot -- so -- what you what you understand why he was -- yet -- okay you know probably not a good idea that's not the kind of visual that you wanted to send to the rest will report to the -- but there was a reason why he was -- it and as far last week was concerned not like I -- tell everybody be cute as a rookie is experiencing these things for the first time. And you know lot umbrella and brought us up and down roller coaster because they're quite frankly I don't also know that I could have. Could have done what he's doing right now but I know I could've done a bit of I didn't do it my rookie year I struggled outlawed more than he stroked one."

" I write this F four Super Bowl coaches on the sideline one of -- sits on the panel with you we talk about this every week plumber. -- had no Washington. They're coach is on the ropes which one of these coaches is comin' back if any of them and who is most in demand and employment gruden cower Holmgren."

" And Janet Janet."

" And right check -- state. -- covets stick more it would ban expires on the Jim Sorgi demoted giving him some sort of about -- competence -- did they get blown out -- would not be surprised to beat Jim -- partners they're going into their -- much like the patriots are this we get to this camp come you know -- completely marginalized. Jim -- taken away any kind of respect their credibility that he would need to effectively lead a group of men and -- So. And it's not a once again proving that he doesn't realize that this is via pelvis not pollute -- put. Football I don't think Jim's wrong -- will be back next here I would be hard pressed the that they that John Fox parent Carolina's going to be back next year old Ibrahim Morse is gonna have a hard time occupy -- his job. And really I you we're trying to figure out what kind of contract Eric Mangini signed equivalent somebody that yesterday. -- at a five year deal with the Cleveland Browns look. I mean I don't know whether or not Cleveland Browns fans of going to be able to handle that and you guys know there's probably better harder because you do have. A lot of -- owners and put all of them. Of marketing has pain because his team wins every week it seems like it's easy -- those boxes out repeated itself up the you know this in stadiums signing of all the marketing stuff that Bob Kraft and everybody does -- the patriot Daniel Snyder has the biggest stadium in football out by the Texas now. 90000 people that some of the best marketing people work at -- And now all of a sudden people pick chuck -- he will be forced to bring in a guy like Shanahan I think he's gonna have to lot get a legitimate name that the redskin fans will -- and tools to. Port and restore credibility for their franchise."

" You're Tom Brady and wonder wide receivers is going on the IR for the rest of the year and what is going to be healthy. Rate through the Super Bowl which one do you choose to stay with you Welker moss boomer."

" Into place such different role yes let's get at all interesting concept editor is Tom. You know I haven't read it brought such a level of big play potential for -- they've. They big united. -- count McCarver told you guys -- the most under appreciated clerk all football. As Wes Welker and indeed we got it goes all the dirty work company gets to keep first -- What that they're really really tough question I guess if I had to pick. I probably would want to keep Wes Welker just simply because. Consistency wise and big player wise because always gonna get the first down and keep the ball on my pants."

" you know what's amazing boomer it doesn't seem that hard to be good possession receiver you know you run a -- hawk he gets the ball you run."

" Meted and you get the crap -- yeah that's. What do you do you grade. But it might not doubt about that but police."

" always as tough as they come I mean he can keep you know he's one of those guys I worry about -- he gets hit a lot. He keeps getting now is probably too tough for his -- good."

" Yeah Aaron you know right up there what what it stupid trade by the army -- my god Paris wasn't Bill Parcells did trade. -- the regime before and that's why it was -- probably got fired but. I also this is another player again that on each and every week seems to be there seems to make the -- now last couple weeks to boast that really matter because it's in the their client but -- fired without a hall of Famer. In the eyes of the people who vote for all cramped. But Kevin Faulk is going to be one of the all time great patriots because he -- like you know Wes Welker. Always has the knack for making the play -- the catch being in the right spot make in the key blocked all the little things they keep that patriot offense moving so these you know out on watching these guys and I and these you guys earlier. You don't have wanna pick somebody like Tom verdict for granted but on on the next level of that he's playing with some pretty special --"

" Do you know exactly why Joey Galloway failed the New England boomer."

" On his last legs and that the last thing you wannabe it bureau wide receiver it's all about the equipment the stop and start on the going up after the football and they commit great catch and you know he's no longer possess that as a wide receiver and he could see it -- Are my hated the pointed out but. You know does not -- in in Russia recording something that was so apparent to everybody."

" But a questionable right guess after the Bengals 4510 win over the bears we have to start taking. Year old T-Mobile seriously. Now don't --"

" But but the we I am I've made up my. -- five he had on that particular course improbable political what you did yesterday especially after the poor performance against the -- the war on the other defense has been good -- separate -- and had a -- a lot of motivation to play against his former team yesterday the -- so. I I always say with a little sensible costs as optimism because they have not been in the playoffs for the last what was the last one year you know. You know and good for them I hope they keep it up would be nice to seek Carson Palmer volume back --"

" We heard there was a baseball game last night we don't have time to get in of that right now so we'll -- that."

" I don't blame him and it's okay so get the World Series start on Wednesday -- Porsche a little bit distracted."

" It is it's a stretch in November right yet remember it. Suddenly pulls up in November so."

" Again remember what happened Latin next Sunday fox is doing everything they possibly could move to Minnesota Green Bay game to deport fifteen sport that's essentially at 1 o'clock start yeah. Fox two weeks ago decided you know we got the end and here it is -- be out I should -- we're gonna -- beat Philadelphia -- chart in which was scheduled at 4 o'clock 1 o'clock on Sunday so this well that we don't think convenience -- Philadelphia and between baseball football because the game for that Walters will be at 8 o'clock on Sunday and -- have a 4 o'clock -- pushing up that that the stadiums are very close the speech at the dominant -- And that way spot in the and it felt that everybody -- favor. I'm moving Minnesota and -- or the team which means TV ratings -- big big big yeah. And you will not turn off -- next Sunday afternoons starting at 4 o'clock."

" Ballmer always a pleasure talking next week the bye week. We sizable Dennison -- element AT&T hall -- AT&T your world delivered."
