" Christmas is about corporal from the patriots football -- here. And beat -- we want to find out what the the mood is out the nationally with our football team. We go far NFL experts -- crew chief from NFL -- film work. Security margin could we get a New York and a great weekend in New York but what's to. It was it was a lot of fun we thought we had a little trouble here because of Fred is it was pretty despondent. Until yesterday -- object. Pleaded with -- Do you think that's the that's the cut yesterday to give Randy -- that Estes Fred just jump ugly with the coaches -- the -- like that -- different."

" I was shocked I -- I respect that about Turkey you know I could use. So that might -- and one time between ridiculous I felt I had guys like Josh CO LT a meat but I would. I I would never there was couple guys Patrick Jones -- certain guys -- thought would never have -- Via if you like this Ryan -- guys that have been drafted now which if -- shocked at that died while it looked at one drop. Just watch him play watched on line on the sideline. That the -- but what all your closure takes it when they."

" Why I had a very similar reaction bit that was built in much much like -- a pre disposed who think that this guy. Shouldn't be on a football on any football team that I was running but I also knew that reality said his. Somewhere along the line he would get a shot he's still young enough and still. I think as skilled. To be an effective player the poor performance by him in the port numbers that he put a period when I looked at raiders is because -- he didn't want to play well. He'd he'd played poorly by he would decide he with did this was a conscious effort to play bad and and when you can make a conscious effort to play bad that's a guy I don't necessarily want in my team having said that there is only one team that I truly believe could get. At least a good year out of out of Randy moss and that's the one that he's now."

" You know that I'm not sure that even the patriots could do it if the conditions were right. I mean a guy is the salaries and drop considerably he's going to make three million a year it's a one year contract so he's gotta fight for the next deal. I think what they've done is they've basically put that -- front of -- he has no other choice but to perform this year because of the conditions."

" And I think it's more than then just that as the carrot to Oakland I mean having the way they've structured it and I heard the clip on this wasn't a ten minute. Conversation that this was -- there was a lot of research in time put into this thing and I think the expectations are very clear have been for present -- in front of -- Randy moss and their isn't going to be this this why margin of error room you know a lot of -- tolerance. Four nonsense is it either is going to work the way the the patriots won the world work with Bill Belichick about their want it to work. Or it's not going to work it's not going to be forced it to say yeah -- we've made this big investment look he gave the patriots a Super Bowl discount. He he is he showed showing up at the right things in Brooklyn Dodgers although although Green Bay. Would have taken him and and one in the same type of discount of course. But he wasn't going to give that to them. So he. He he was this was the only team for him to get that discount because it's the only team the only condition that he was going to get on this team thing is you you you you limit. -- what it is he can't work can't do within the realm of behavior and you and you know you're you're sitting on this -- so he's either plane. And playing in doing it that way or -- or he's gone and and that's and that's the right way -- they won't get. I I am certain you'll get a Goodyear out of this player. This is as starters that might be doubly as aggregate and that's exactly what I think that once he starts feeling good about himself again as accomplish something that's what I'd be concerned about."

" the -- done it and you with them -- yet it's as -- slime bag. Highly of amateur it's -- him -- just ask as an independent thought publicly about it I guess."

" This is what makes this is why in life there are people who like to radio -- who would do greater -- restaurants and -- in the world it's that this is live back. Doesn't just thought this might present a slimy guys refused slightly. Definitely better and I think that that's likely way across the walk rather. It's difficult it was a pleasure he's he's now he it's amazing I've seen two extremes of Randy moss. I've seen a guy. Who Tom -- Who who -- when he was in Minnesota we -- conversation with his back and there was you and -- schedule doesn't get every and then now and then and then after awhile one when the crop -- that he told you want to appear guys for the vikings at the time this -- after Monday night game he said as he soy -- Mixtures known to and so the outcome blow commute take. And then he walks Lawrence says okay we need and he was great all right but he but he was like it did that he heard I sent some to and then what he told me later. I don't do stuff on a lot of people are run and I asked the vikings as he never talks to us he's never that in Oakland he went apoplectic -- it was like no conversations and he just shut down the union any conversations with anybody who has -- but but here's the worst part this is the part that -- there's two things. With the media stuff truly -- that doesn't as much as you'd think about it does about. What would bother what bothers me here these two things where he lost. When he wasn't in the mood to play -- like arch. Art shell I know c'mon it's been nice guy Hall of Fame -- for a combined you know to have what he represents -- respect and the kid comes or takes over head coach Lange kept 31 years old. You can have all opinion you want that he's too young to this he's he's the head coach he was hired as the head coach. Players are going to you know be consult that are have a vote on that al Davis -- coach he's down at the senior bowl. He's trying to get in touch with the kid cellphone too cute guy the player boss. And he won't return his calls that he won't connect with -- director of golf. Did to his head to is new to it was supposed to be I guess determining you're never going to coach me I'm not going to play for it let's not even have a conversation. I felt yeah."

" Result is worse than not dating attachment there were rumors out there that. He did have a conversation and he basically through the -- A market it's not Huard and -- them write or say right right but it but -- but that -- Lane Kiffin -- now says that he has not spoken to all and man. The Boston say they -- yet outspokenly Q. Oh what I what I understood it was yet I got along -- it one along those lines there was not. The league that's that's going to pick me askew in nine note that you'd you'd -- biggest and best work know was from pitch it football weekly package -- on -- about it -- but."

" Let me ask you with a ball that plagiarize a lot of stuff well actually today was the only obvious that was -- it wasn't too big for us back in the day long nights out graphic NFL -- I'll -- the slime ball that not only doing actual also aspire to wherever I -- turn -- always talking about. Definitely talk to the back that I want to I was left to bigotry here in my apartment she. I'm just it along the lines -- of what that the perception that this deal once. -- why you know lot of summit in view of the GMs and some people not with wild what was your history."

" Percent well I also much about while but -- perception because I I think there was -- about it that ultimately no one was stunned when it did happen because there was the framework for the foundation. Awe of it and how it could work. -- that the type structure of the pitchers have placed. Was said okay if there's a place that this could work out this is it -- but I'll tell you most of the reaction. Is moans and groans from patriot challengers are competitors or opponents in their division I mean living at a place like buffalo I I at any person you talked who who looks bills and I stripped but -- up. Patriots just got a lot better. And and now the gap is even wider public also supported alias Thomas didn't do it if if Wes Welker is indicted Stewart approach it now it's in and Tom Brady and company -- going to do it. Now we got one more problem a couple of defensive coordinators to stop this team it's a -- last year we -- got a -- ops in addition and bringing -- safeties and putting pressure -- this victory -- Brady you can read the -- guys just roll the ball up -- if they rationalize -- yet to -- you know -- worst hitter Wes -- about a -- receptions but -- only the only thing though that was brought up as as the other than the obvious that -- this is on the presumption that. Behavior from a behavioral standpoint he -- does he actually you know going to be with a program to some -- wherever that is. It's health you know how much do they give them on the field how often is -- you know there were some some lingering issues. That kept him away from the game some of which were legitimate health reasons when I was told from the raiders. And not all because he just didn't -- playing so I guess from a health standpoint. How you know do you -- to use -- use this guy in -- my senses. Telecheck in terms of structuring practice in terms of structuring how how he utilizes players. Can maximize the production of veteran right now or -- him at the time of need of -- did you did. That he was time somewhere in the room was as warp nine. Via four I heard the same thing I think that's the old bill goes to the same thing he has the build acidity in him. This -- corporal. I don't I don't spread I don't even though that I I've heard -- I definitely heard that but I don't think it's relevant to this discussion I think which relevant. It is to I don't mean this discussion I mean discussion of the patriots getting him for -- that they know what they're getting physically it's not because he. He's -- he is he he's going to have the blazing speed. What he has as as -- they always. Is the ability to get open deep is the ability to out jump defenders and you know start to take a good look at some of the -- that he's going to be lined up against just and then division. And for the most part guys he's got the edge over everybody if he's playing -- if he's giving an honest effort nuclear. Run the same -- against the -- before but it refute it up the line. Right you know bako of course that the mystery. We'll bring you should. That's you know he was released today and -- that's an expert for a while to he would. I understood he was -- the decision to release -- with me before the draft because. They were confident they were going to be Liggett wager can -- ask you this though. They am three weeks ago three million dollar bonus -- you let him go before paying them the three million notables. -- about your year that was accident without throw out -- go to WR I you know John fox being in and Marty Marty -- being. I think guys who understand this move like that and mishandling of -- and in that regard. Goal long way toward open toward getting your next employer who who sees where they treat him pretty well done Carolina don't. You saw that is is the PR effect of the move now you you know real money into real cash. No I don't read but that kind of PR is is so very helpful and and key -- Is is like his own broadcasting network until so everybody will hear you know I'll that was handled among them the playing crowd. And I don't know he gets another opportunity to play he probably does I wouldn't rule out that possibility that he ends up in New England as well why I mean you might you might as well it's more the -- but here's the big guys up 2 he sure he can yet it's it's it's there's a lot he happened. But the -- becomes. Only one guy. Is is going to be allowed the gap -- the huddle and only one guy should be allowed the yep. When this this offensive to bring this offense together and his name's Tom Brady and that's and that is going to be ultimately the test here. How he handles all of this how he manages all of this the looks that the body language that things that happen in the course of the game a helmet gets slammed or something that's handled. It's it's really. His that this is that you're going to see something. I think something new and different here because this guys leadership skills will be challenged like never before and I think he's up to the cast its elements of the new and different can be draining frugal prepared to lead at the -- Well I'll I'll I think there's difference between babysitting and the difference between -- Donald law and say this is how it's not and then and then it is up to of course -- to decide. How many times is that it do you yeah how many times has this happened to where you might see it is that threat of a drain and if there or or potential drain your right -- if that's what -- if that's what it perceived as then you -- put a stop to it immediately but figures in a very short -- them I'm sure that's going to be."

" I'd much as the perception of this team changed the last six years people look at it a lot of outsiders. Coupons in the same thing and we your all time at this ball elevated doing -- because it's not it is not been littered with. Big name players now suddenly in all of the offseason moves that they have made both on the team that's sent the ball now at the at the wide receivers by. It it's like an all pro team here it what it would mean how different does that change the perception of this team."

" Going in an -- these changes are quite a bit Oakland but it's the ideas that you just when you thought you had the patriots figured out or at least term their ammo and and the way they did business forgot. They command you with something different and this is that this is the mother of all changes in in terms of their model. I mean their model was be consistent and and careful about how you distribute. Salary right pretty much stay within that realm keep keep -- keep the real captain keep your camp in place in in a very specific place. And then it would it would very few exceptions and and then. No one the -- went on guys especially when there there were they were their -- would be a threat to disrupt that system. But now. They have they have. Taken a whole different the model has been completely redone for this offseason and the additions they've made the money that's prince spent in the out in the offseason but now the acquisition of different type of character people where everyone column but if this comes under the category I don't think you can simply say that you know this was the unhappy disgruntled Corey Dillon who became a key contributor to two Super Bowls in New England this -- more than just disgruntled Randy moss trying to figure him out will make you -- I mean there's no additional figured him out and I I think -- it's worth it's worth taken this ever taken the shot. But if it is not going to be worth if he's if he goes back to the -- that we've known it his worst he it's not going to be worth just just."

" Hoping that that'll change it what -- O'Meara thoughts switching gears a little bit oh -- really improved themselves over the weekend you know beyond the patriots. You know I think the teams that. Putting that framework is all talk from NC improve themselves I did like. The drafting by the panthers and I think the key -- move was the other shoe to drop. After the acquisition of Jerry I like that they traded down to get peace -- that deal that they -- with the jets because and then it also allow them. To want to get the second best center Aristide -- the best center in the draft right ankle well using. A second round did to do that that the got the jets in the minerals sector rounder to get Jerry. I think Atlanta did some good things I think Jamal Anderson is going to be solid defensive and starter for them at some point. A really look Justin blalock has a longtime fixture on on the you know on the alive guard. And I think Chris Houston corner was one of the best you got -- be impressed with the browns and I mean I know that sounds odd state given what the browns have been collect I won't ask -- and -- Miami Dolphins stupidity in my opinion but today they are great and they benefited from that I mean the Miami Miami's team that was this had scripture -- scriptures because that was alleged effort for -- Brady -- we knew that. And and and and give the Brown's credit for once that happened. Knowing that they could find a way to we go back into the first round and I don't care that they gave up the first rounder in oh wait for for Brady -- they don't you know Romeo Cornell there is no. There is no all wait for Romeo Cornell or Phil savage right now they they have just gotta worry about the here and now they were -- pull it off it and you know what it's better than just using the third overall pick on a quarterback because you used it on a tackle Joe Thomas."

" Who can protect this quarter they've picked -- by him. The coach -- the -- they -- out here that there's PO -- to buy him out. Well I think crowd it was it was street you know you know it was another but it was that was conine -- the draft. In regard to the tenth of the relationship but it was almost like that was like -- and we favor right tonight that you don't use that as I go off for that he better be a lot more than a nice kid you -- yes he is a nice kid in the seventh rounder is you're free agents to do favors and now which we find out that -- may not be ready. But this does is -- which is going to make it even more difficult now. Big game in different down there outright if that trend of the cute kid had it been more productive for as a receiver I knew he would have accomplished deal but he's so far to go so wrong -- I think that's like what success is no different. Ha -- what are they thinking I think looking at. What -- did last year to Chicago and seeing what -- field position maybe we break up during the course is part of it. Right but all but they are but they are guys escalate there they are looking at that they are saying that there is a way to get an impact and all the all the you know all of that that the jaw dropping in and you know sighing and groaning in -- anger and howling over this pick will be forgotten when this guys returning. Multiple returns for touchdowns it's a yes and and the fact that he's got the ball forward that he still trying to get well the fact that he's going to miss some time you don't know what's going to really know. What he's all about and maybe he'll be deep into the pre season you're seen as but. This kid has got to do that into him a big way and and for everything I understand it is good as a coaching staff as I think Miami has. Getting this guy to be an effective. Receiver as a rookie is is support that. Today from from -- was actively recruiting campaign yet Ross on. -- Brett was he report proper. I think it was a it was -- think those are products it was a -- was doing it in -- that women -- on -- I think I think. Yeah I am sure he was I'm sure he's a little. Confounded -- there or -- for puzzle. Over what his team because his team didn't get involved lot of -- you know to say the least. And -- still they still lead now I think their running back its interest in Jackson kid that they pick Brandon Jackson. Could end up being a steal for where they got in my efforts from some remarkable things about this guy you know Gil Brandt. Thinks the world of and I value deals opinion and he said just keep -- Escude he can play. -- I didn't know -- bottom in the more studying about maybe maybe this is he's gotta be it otherwise. There isn't much help there and yes far campaign he wanted moss and he knew for one year which is what our commitment is basically going to be for the record team that would that was the deal but it did come down too -- says her boss saying. Yet you're gonna pay me the full my full value this country that I'm not giving you superbowl this yours who grumbles too long. Is -- watcher that 44 awful for. What you think the two years. After all the restaurant got a pretty good. I had a pretty by they had gotten the -- centers -- statements to it was kind of Micah. -- again you know. He's he's interest in yet I -- do you have -- what was the first want to get my thoughts on Saturday. They had with a slime bag yeah yeah I love ice ice I talked with Rod Marinelli and about two days ago he said. That he lost in its competitiveness he loves the edge that he brings and he thinks he could be pretty good -- there -- and you know -- east -- generally enthusiastic didn't sound like he was trying to sell. Melons and he -- as far as Calvin Johnson is concerned he you know he's he and I agree with does the board the board is what it is you can't. At number two decide that the best players that you your board can go there and you you reached down and get a guy like Gaines Adams who might be 345 notches -- If -- that's the theory for a -- to the festival was trading down and and letting someone -- take -- you know Johnson Aaron that would have been maybe -- with a commitment. Issues --"

" Cancun I thought I'd stolen he's got a lot of pitchers yet he's a got a notice of the worst one it is for -- and I history two at 20% of the monopoly -- erased an unbelievable I hated it. That it's always great -- you'll do it down the road now as a little guys some guys that -- much of victory achieved from NFL -- network that's going to be a personal likes these WR regular national in -- insiders NFL him. Every Friday with Guzman and all right we'll get some ribs from from goes we'll get some -- It was real -- give us it's sad Sam give him he shouldn't that is that is that he really knows the stuff obviously much was -- anything from -- you know -- says full court mountains. In people's I think ultimately I think we might have been a brilliant -- that"
