[14:13] ..." while I law. That you want to make an example well like Vernon Davis. Just he can't he can't do that because the rest of the team. Q yeah and shut you walk in a heartbeat"...

[0:00]" Welcome back major Monday continues our quarterback are there -- over -- that good morning how are you are. Reported. -- and talk -- you know sometimes you look at a football game and it's not a thing of -- the from a player standpoint the ones that aren't a thing of -- the fourth quarter -- the -- about it when you don't have your personnel -- your best and sometimes seem to be the most satisfying fair to --"

[0:22]" I would think so and our pick of the last two victories by the Patriots kind of attest to that you have to prepare -- the Denver Broncos and just blow them -- the statement yesterday. Again Kevin Faulk comes up with a huge play in I don't know how many privately have I've I've talked about this guy over the last five or six years and that things that he does and he continually does the good that is that you bring to the Patriots and then. -- they just win -- beat the teams are supposed to beat which is always the sign of a good quality organization and yes. One of those types went."

[0:53]" And what's more important to you Matt Cassel. Fashioning a come from behind win or cutting a sack total -- half yesterday."

[1:00]" Well you -- like interceptions but I -- that they are all his fault but anytime you can cut your sack total and half. You know that helped that I mean that you're actually -- in the they -- things happening -- you're anticipating broke. You know we've been talking about the last three or four weeks that. One of the reasons that he's taking notes that not because -- off but the line is that not doing their job or summit topic. -- it -- that it holding onto the ball on and the reason he's holding on the ball just because -- played a lot so I think guessed they would indication that maybe. You know -- get will be here or have men and now they elected -- ball on the field vision didn't do that at all. The Broncos though they struggle a little bit of a coming out party yet but it."

[1:43]" Who were back on the Kevin Faulk touchdown there walkabout as a wide receiver and the rams' walk out a linebacker on him to play that actually happened. Earlier in the ball game and Matt Cassel over shot him but that's a mismatch Kevin Faulk -- of those great pass catching running backs have really. Linebackers can't match up against if you're a D fence do you walk out linebacker on Kevin Faulk is out of coaching mistake -- have to do that."

[2:05]" Yet you have to do that Matt Hughes movie adjustment that you aren't makes that would have Wes Welker Randy -- all the other guys on the field. Starting played a numbers game and it for quarterback when you see that matchup and actually what you're -- tells you who's going to happen before the game. I your heart starts pounding like okay I got this I got this one especially when it happens quite in the same game. It happens of one of the most important plays of the games so. A you know Faulk has just been so great for the Patriots are going to have. Gaudy numbers now. All these. You know these you know these these two relative number that you want to add to that the hall of Famer but. Tonya back guys on this team over the last. 56 years and they don't you know to have success they have open."

[2:54]" You think this is castles best --"

[2:56]" Well in Ottawa -- satellite interceptions but I'd not thought it was more. Part of it and you know I'd -- like they were trying to. You know I don't more you know piecemeal together I felt like he was just more of you know reason that they -- as opposed to reason that they lost the economy."

[3:14]" They are are the -- long balls of 694535. Just keep doing the bingo numbers to Avery is mostly a function of a culmination of Rodney Harrison going down Hobbs and O'Neal being being in and out Wheatley in Richardson meriwether moved from safety to corner should and I guess -- basket that -- the -- should we expect to see more of that until those things get. I think it's solidified the back in the defensive backfield."

[3:38]" Well -- that the Rams or lose the game yesterday and it worked for weeks ago -- a lot more often. Agree that help wire. Why you know the the Patriots. -- quite often on the first touchdown. Product that they problem with their players with better -- our back -- but. You know it will surprising to receive that because -- we think that. Coach Belichick it's you know these smart keep things in problem and then when you invite team. -- you what they did yesterday. You know -- playing with fire if you don't have on the handle back you don't have a dialogue back there have of those shut down one that you once had. And and you know when you're giving it seem like the -- do you have the the ability to throw the ball downfield and -- play I though so you. Playing with fire there was certainly ebony yesterday I think the function of playing back there you know -- pro bowlers back there at this point and and I think. Play against these they can do that -- going to be disposal but it did it you're not careful and not a little bit. You know cautious and -- thought that maybe there are little recipe that we have."

[4:50]" Over what happened to Bulger for God's sakes I mean if you look at the two quarterbacks their experience level. You would never realize that Cassel was playing what his eighth game or whatever was and Bulger was in his eight year or whatever he has talked about. -- setting his feet talk about unloading the ball the wrong time talk while looking skittish in the pocket. -- Bulger looked like the guy you know how to play in the pocket."

[5:11]" I you're right. At times you know and I Detroit art of figure out what happened with the -- of confidence is -- out here at -- Few years they did not have a great you'll actually available -- distort the issues you know Orlando Pace is not -- player. Over the last couple years due to injury he's been taking hit after hit after hit. And yesterday also without Stephen Jackson in the lineup now that you. Your most important player which takes a lot of pressure off you as a quarterback. You know and I and I -- he would definitely regressed over the last appeared I its artists they watt other in the back in now that he's not. Up playing with the energy in the opulent that he once was when they were really at all that way. But again I know that it was it was ran noted there's this perception out there. They're one of the worst teams in football and that could be said for weeks ago that couldn't have been said yesterday because. Jim Abbott has been really good job of turning -- you guys are guess that would be announcers talked about it now as well it actually went to a team. The guys don't play the helmet meaning don't respect. The outcome -- the that not the same team that won super all of that but I think team that went undefeated during the regular season last year at this eighteen. Bill would decide the -- or better. So now I think -- kind of if you're perspective of what's happening out there and yet on how they're looking at the Patriot without --"

[6:32]" boomer we're bringing a lot of quotes this morning for the Patriots in the post game who were who were. Praising Matt Cassel who were talking about the fourth quarter comeback were talking about the balls leave the ones who were caught in the end zone. We're late in all the money under pressure situations and as much and as important as a quarterback's confidence is in himself how much does that add to the plus side when a team starts to gain confidence in their quarterback as we're reading this morning."

[6:56]" Well you know it's going to be great back capsules can be reading those same quotes and it's going to really make them feel that this morning when he wakes up. And nothing more important -- leaving number one it yourself but also known as your teammates believe you know. And the fact that they have the fourth quarter comeback the fact that his teammates -- good things about him this morning. He's going to have a great week. I think he can only get better in this point visited there was one aspect missing all of I think. Anybody was follow the Patriots the last part six weeks really closely knows everybody's wondering whether or not. -- the guy and I have to -- that Mac Apple's wonder that about himself and he's also got to be wondering in the back with mind my teammates think that I can do it. So this morning you wake up you read all of those bank. That's exactly what to hope or you'll go vote -- in judgment and that you -- back now all of a sudden it is you know on a different plateau from Koppen --"

[7:51]" Boomer quick question on a small point but I was curious about it Dave Thomas Sam Aiken are those guys going to get yelled at today what you tip your cap to the two two on the Rams and say just good job in those the two guys who were the up men. On the on the kick off return team to open up the third quarter of that got -- on the onside kick. To those -- get read out for bailing out early or again do you just say you got us."

[8:15]" Well I I -- Knowing Brett illegal way do you know try to teach from a I don't think he's going to try to embarrass anybody. I'm sure they're -- to talk into yes they had to sideline. But I would think that those are teaching moment. It is one that you hope is that okay we won the game and that's great. Now learned from you know what we didn't do well that's one of those moments that in my estimation. I would think that you're gonna get it's going to be teaching real I've -- in the future but he realizes. They pay attention."

[8:47]" You're saying goes up men are never supposed to leave and turn their back until they realize the balls off periods."

[8:52]" I wanted to present but it now they're human there they play like. You know it like everybody else and they make mistakes in the team's going to win one every now and again and the reason they do stuff like Vazquez they'd seen it on now. You know I mean -- in previous games -- that opportunity in previous games. Then they're going to try to -- bought themselves a big spot and they didn't work but I think I would think is that you know you're going to be pole today I. You gotta be more diligent you got -- as they have all need to be more honest I don't think they'll happen the rest of the -- some would but the rest the -- now that --"

[9:28]" Overlook the tone and the tenor of your caller your radio show this this morning be. Had Laveranues Coles not made a one handed catch in a lasting impression was vet Brett Favre throwing three picks one for a touchdown."

[9:40]" And they are already all of the game you know Brett performance the last three weeks is just really then. Not -- render it -- seven interceptions in the last three games eleven total interceptions he's been. You know you'd been -- He has been anything but movement. Looks to me like these still really struggling in the offense. Couple interceptions -- you from last couple weeks I can't explain a few weapons why you don't that's why you know. You know and I there's no answer or rather in the fact that he is completely. Just throwing the ball up and hope for all the from Padilla -- in them now would it. And it's really -- Japan's great and I think they have a huge problem on the team right now. Defense that you have a head coaching job in the order back quarterback on the all time they get they the -- lucky that. -- you not at just up this morning. That's how -- it would have been. I I think jet fans right now are really really. Not very happy -- for."

[10:41]" What do you make of the AFC east of minutes like one team beats the other obviously the Patriots and bills are tied atop of the five and two is is is that about the way you see the talent. Playing up Patriots and Buffalo the top Jets next Miami the last or giving Miami when all -- said -- done is going to pass the Jets."

[10:56]" Are not you know it in this it's it's wide open -- but I do now. -- terrible loss by Buffalo yesterday you know there -- the better team that should not they have no business was Miami down there. Division game you know Bob was cut or -- six division game and a cup final and games. Which means that they're -- you know basically be determined by beating teams that are in their divisions so. I would tell you right now I'd still boy the Patriots -- the best team. I don't know how many more injuries stake in Spain and ordered. To remain the best in division I I don't think any of the teams are as good as amnesty is right now on topic there's there's the spurt. Those are the property you. It's Burton law just -- they're all through their injuries as well. But really that they're -- the taken. The Patriots right now damage is that the other team to stolen consistent. And -- Brett four point always playing guys I really can't take the Jets here at this point."

[11:51]" Well -- you say there's no explanation for -- performance in these interceptions -- Portland explanation. Brett Favre is what he's done his whole career. Last year was an aberration. For poor bastards like me you watched him every single week his entire career certainly since Holmgren laughed. That's what he does -- Matsui is and you would never know because. The national media doesn't report negative material with Brett Favre so we have this whole myth of Brett Favre that actually have the reality. Of Brett Favre and less Brett Favre has it two months of coaches step in on his knack. It's what he's going to do it how is going to play in your field."

[12:25]" You know -- out there like you're right arm with that I've done a number of his interviews with the Green Bay Packers what do different it was when he was under rated Rhode. -- when he was under -- Sherman I mean nobody -- Mike -- QB nobody. You know kind of corral in the well Mike Holmgren might be the last that the realm in my court he. Problems on somewhat last year. But I I think you're spot on with your you know -- your description of who it is and everybody has conflict there. And the -- players it's great when. Aggressive and throw the ball down field and works well when it doesn't work that he'd become careless in the carelessness. It's what killed on the Jets right now ideas on how -- Mangini. You know deal with I mean I don't know it sort of a rep -- would be these used coaches you know yes."

[13:14]" Speaking of coaches and quarterbacks Mike singletary is debuts via San Francisco coach not rate -- benches as quarterback which again it's okay and the orders Vernon Davis off the field which I think you know. -- standing ovation however. In the post game he went off as if they lost fifteen in a -- under him. And my question -- watching Mike singletary rant rave in the post game over if that was next week the week after that where does it go from there."

[13:40]" You know it the perception that big deal here it and the perception is that Mike -- You know it just is not long -- coaching. -- emotional and as we -- you guys. Now there watching Bill Belichick over the years always keeping your emotions in check keep in you know what's on your minded Jack -- And not embarrassing the players I think. You know nobody does -- better than bill. And yes -- what you squawking. You know he's fought like crazy. You know PDI middle linebacker that played for the Bears on the war on. And while I law. That you want to make an example well like Vernon Davis. Just he can't he can't do that because the rest of the team. Q yeah and shut you walk in a heartbeat -- don't give a damn well don't want the greatest speed and world. They don't give a damn that you -- World Series they don't care who you are but to have of that article -- has. And they're looking at him like what that OT -- here. And you know -- say what you talk about it train wreck. This could actually be one of the best shows in terms reality shows for the rest later -- Annika be on watch."

[14:47]" yeah Matt Ryan in the Falcons must be who looking in the -- this morning say -- what what what might have been had not been for a a missed call by the officials and end to recap luckiest people didn't see -- there was him an apparent. Muffed punt by the Falcons went and point of fact the -- returner did not touch the football. The officials ruled that he did touch it and and they lost a football. And Mike Smith the head coach could not challenge because -- have a timeout left is that the -- with three play to get it right I mean I know why the rules and -- trying to keep the games under you know certain time limit but -- everybody in the world everybody in the free world knows the punt returner did not touch it for the Falcons and yet nothing can be done to turn around but can see -- be frustrating and so many levels."

[15:31]" You know I'm glad you brought that play up because you know every Monday morning it seem like we're talking about. Games where officials really mean blatantly screw up and I know how hard it is. How much time these coaches employers and I haven't forgotten that ever walked -- because. I know what you wake up this morning and you lose -- game you just absolutely miserable arm it was just such a blatant blown all yesterday. And -- a lot of that ultimately that was just one that obviously cost them. You know the top of the I don't know what you can do. Other than the fact that you you have replay available for the officials admitted they think they've made -- wrong all they can vote. Playing at right right I just think that it day it's Tuesday it said state of affairs we probably have I don't know maybe eight to ten. There have been decided. On bad all. And I just know how they had the coaches in the and the players in the feel when they wake up in their team lose the game like that they shouldn't have lost so I don't know what the answer is guys and in effect may be at the official record. Then make a mistake they have the ability to. Heated up by only two replay and maybe that would be."

[16:42]" Boomers as a badly right now L and what I mean by that's not entertainment value I mean quality of play across the league good teams."

[16:49]" Yeah yeah that I think -- cannot really good investment airport might because. I you have guys getting hurt you have key players that are missing games. Yeah. The quarterback the play of quarterback has been which -- this year much and all the quarterbacks but you know I would say the bare majority of quarterbacks. May lineup wonders there have no clue what they're doing and that they played for bad teams -- their their what do. -- and Tom I think it really does that mean and and brought its CB yes you know some of these games that we just like on the on watchable. You can't you can't watch. You know teams that are just struggling rule offenses -- that offer of yours overs and his. Probably football so. You know that's good news for teams like you know knowing -- they can just keep it together. Are gonna win you know their pressure again on soak in the wild -- anything."

[17:43]" And over I don't have the empirical numbers in front of me to tell me if injuries are up or down if more star players are being hurt or fewer star players -- hurt it seems to me they are up -- more star players are going down and with that is sort of it just to throw it up in the wind hypothesis. Is it possible eventually if something can't be done to keep star players on the field longer that the weight of injuries ultimately might be the the -- demise of this league."

[18:08]" Auto I don't know about that I think there's still we all of football on the that we -- Monday night on minutes and that the -- A loss football look forward to a lot more teams a lot of art jerseys -- helmets below what you know that teams stands forum I know you want Tom Brady and you want to see Carson Palmer. People like that but. You know unfortunately it it's just. Fortunately in no interest think that it that it embark on eighteen instead. I outlook on. To do that I think -- and NC BS that. Maybe 817. Schedule they compromise. And then take that seventeen game. And takes sixteen games and move them around sixteen different cities. As like a promotional war or something for globalization. Something like that in and try to make. You know make a splash that would I just it's a war of attrition now guys get bigger faster meaner nastier. And the only open. Many players can withstand the rigors of the season but that that's I went to."

[19:14]" Well questionable based on the seemingly everybody's in ability to predict outcomes of National Football League games including all -- speed he has a right in your pregame -- a year ago tonight -- just you know -- 180 and in a heartbeat. A year ago tonight's Monday Night Football game would have been considered all that's going to be lopsided the Colts taking on the Titans musicals and so superior and that I got to look at this thing at the -- that -- could be lopsided because the Titans are so superior to the Colts."

[19:41]" Well that's what happens when you have good drafts Christiane and as a tremendous running back for Tennessee tonight. And you have injuries and Bob Sanders they're all world strong safety for the Indianapolis Colts did not plan. Baloney about planet like they -- Ray Lewis -- the the Baltimore Ravens deep and they've been just we will lose their personality and they are. Usually good at home in the building but when they get out on the road they're a different teams so. I would pick the Titans besides the win on the ball are going to be able that is absolutely control and and I would think I'm right mindset here and that if they're going to -- the -- went. They managed going to have to throw for 350 yards and four touchdowns -- just on to that happening yet but I'd be."

[20:20]" Well overall it was a pleasure talking football with a win next we speak the Patriots will already played the Colts heavily on Sunday night next Sunday night so that's money -- talk about Colts Patriots. All right guys -- strap on have a great -- Esiason with Dennis and Callahan."
