[0:00]" What the final out of the big money out there and it's a Patriots Monday you know what that means I'm not a copy with the coach after the coach is where if you -- Dunkin' Donuts America runs on Duncan and it's -- Aussie. Bill Belichick went for time interview on the radio this is that they throw from the -- that's going to be here presidency would way is just that would wait let me all the questions that skews all the."

[0:23]" Slower you can repeat them to less than me like points and spokesman that would take notes on the eyes are being up two or 350. Please note that you there's it was now and there's also -- but yeah the only guys don't get the case or hear me for it. Qualification they put some additional. I don't know horse -- the enforcement -- and so we need the money. How was how was your a final cut down -- it was a tough time view final cuts but -- this year."

[0:53]" Pretty busy steal think -- and probably. A little more action than in the past actually. You know we. I had 53 cut -- on injured reserve as part of and then. Released Chad Jackson talents the following day claim couple players. It is supposed to -- from the Jetsons. Mark or from the Rams sense of get the practice squad together and all that since like few more moving parts than usual and then of course assigned alpha O'Neal today and and these these box so we've you know we've been we've been busy in -- counseling it's probably not over yet there's pros though few more. A roster adjustments or tweaks here. You know and next week or two certainly on Kevin comes back next week I'll be another one. That -- we know what might make room for him to come back so there's there's been a few moving parts and but but all that's utterly distraught snagged it and cancer but it it was it's going to. We can -- a lot of you recall what Chad Jackson checked actually -- acumen with greats be you know down. I think room -- you -- together and we really -- the vote me out big strong fast and just I think -- genetic a pre season they're training camp in good offseason program this year and thinking improve and and you know you we also pre season games he made some good plays. It was like competition at that position and you know in the end we just felt like there're. Other players ahead of them I think as a set -- think that he's gonna continue to play -- for somebody and you know he's good player we just couldn't couldn't keep all of bill you're very dip."

[2:33]" O -- press conference going I was there and you've -- that pretty much what you just said now you think he's going to play in the NFL he's going to turn around and so forth but. You that's a great draft picks over the years with with did you guys miss something on him with with few mistake on your part or that he simply not live up to what it takes the -- felt what what did he missed. To not play up to that --"

[2:54]" Well I don't think. Charlotte because case at all Steve I think we. You know took the player and and the and and Chad -- Chad Jackson and his his skills or his skills and I think he has good skills. And but as it turned out. There are other players that were ahead of them or maybe he'll do better to different system. You know different pars than where the requirements are different where the emphasis is different than that and all that I don't think it's. You know anybody. That if anybody miss the you know it it's it's our fall from us in on him it's not his fault he -- he did what he could do and we just. It just didn't work out -- think it's really you know think there's a lot of blamed the place it's one of those circumstance is it Lasorda is it possible that this could be a wake up call for him that a guy. With with so much star power and I don't think as though waking -- meaty you were -- nobody worked any harder than it's had an offseason. You know we. I was healthy coming out of the year and we had a great start the offseason programs -- a lot of time of the coaches. Was in great condition -- those -- his techniques and and and got a lot of opportunities. And playing time especially at beginning of training camp when Wes was out. So. And again we we saw pre season games and we saw on -- and you know some good plays and go run some good catches so. Well thank. And again most to blame on the so I think it just didn't work out and and they thing out credit the other players who. Who have formal force over the last. Well you know six weeks of camp but also -- on this -- last year. When it comes down to your fourth or fifth receiver. How much of the decision making process is special teams how much is there's receiver play. Well specialty is as big part of it and you know with Sam Aiken and another event round -- those guys are. You know at the bank christmas team players. In this league you know salmon Buffalo and and you know -- them productive for us when he -- the opportunity and and rate was -- pre season as well as the receivers and he also some versatility and the defensive side of the ball so. You know you you never really compare apples to apples here concern me you're trying to put together football team and that's that's you know major compositional a lot of different things and you know each player has their own strengths and weaknesses and think they can add to -- news try to -- investments that are involved."

[5:18]" They brought some adjusting to Chad Jackson is with Chad Jackson is it different scheme. In a different offense he might flourish because. Certain guys you brought Randy Moss run was well -- grossed out numerous Rivers replied yeah. But this game other guys just played better but there's a miscues that run more things we suited to his to his balance."

[5:40]" Sure -- stuff -- possible you know he could get then you know a different system woman and you know get the ball -- hands more maybe quicker or whatever. And have an opportunity to be productive there -- you know it's assists developed. It's always hard to release a player especially Carter at least one that they work hard and and it really did everything yes it -- and that's but that was the case a lot of players over the weekend but that's. Fortunately that's and I felt very competitively that we were asked about bill."

[6:10]" John went to -- the press conference is is there is there a scenario by which he could play for the team again this season because the personally that was issued yesterday. A lack of better what was rather cryptic about his future and then he's someone you can look at after we won right."

[6:27]" and is anybody that's available. If you know there's agreement between the club and the player than that it's certainly possible. -- prone to about him wouldn't come up with -- mean not every few NFL has an opportunity to take a guy. From defensive back to make commit to a receiver commitment to a you know let's do what -- is unique is committed to find. It to make that experiment. Go forth you know I mean when you look at guys anyone can do that and I was tied up the -- specialties but it wasn't going to have to change direction of the deepest point. How many guys do you see -- when you look at it. For the candles to make them move --"

[7:09]" Well. You know certainly athletic -- says one thing but also the you know just the mental flexibility to do different jobs and be adaptable -- and switch back and forth from offense defense special teams than. And is trying to change your mentality there's you know guys don't don't do that very easily and you know once that do have that kind of versatility and and that can be valuable freaking mother's from. Offense the defense or left tackle right tackle our sample will -- whatever happens debate so. Some guys are just one more comfortable doing that McConnell like the new position you know in the new assignments and and none -- are more comfortable just. You know being in their spot in doing their routine and and they're not comfortable you know and another spot so. Skid just -- player but but versatility both mentally and physically is you know important having that and I think really venture owns a good example of you know what the purpose of the practice squad is and how effective practice squad is. I don't think he would've not been able make a team had he not had the opportunity to build a practice squad. And you know last year there were times when he helped -- receiver knows -- defensive back. And ran routes for us and did pretty good job only -- control cover on the and then we decided to go to training camp this year and just put him on offense because -- played on the fence and and so he was able to kind of keep up to speed on the fastball actually. You know commit most of his time learning offensive pass patterns and receiver techniques that kind of thing and and you know they -- spot on the roster so. To me that's really what the practice squads for an and it's a great. You know it's a great story for a practice squad is without a lot of the players come through on that too with the affiliates -- are you know -- You know right now line and we -- an awful lot of them you know as opposed to other things like for example an affiliate here where. You know there's a lot less development of players and weather is on you know wanting to practice squad so."

[9:05]" And it is a great story because of me -- it was written raven thrown story but when you -- approaches to him. I have to assume that as a young kid practice squad bounce around trying to make his way in the NFL make some money that he had to jump at this that there was no hesitation you know sign me up is."

[9:20]" And I'm sure you have read on this Thursday absolutely. Yeah I I don't think we've ever had -- since senator we we haven't had too many players that. Well we've offered an opportunity on practice squad that they weren't excited taken because it. It kept him in the league and kept them alive and kept on the football course there's a disappointment that they didn't make final roster. But you know to be on the practice squad. Sooner or later most of those guys and the movement of the squad the regular roster anyway somewhere along the lines currencies and so not always but you know good percentages on so. You know keeps them on the keys in the game do drug -- a starting job in pre season."

[9:56]" Well I think draws -- football -- out -- for -- first play of the game -- the -- what what. -- grouping ran with there and you know we're defendant that kind of thing shirt drove four that your in contact with Junior Seau who. -- when things have been. Drop at the period. Through his twentieth -- I don't I talked to junior and and I think. No I think juniors is you know stay in shape and and you know is like he oasis or an out there aren't meant to this restaurant and and just you know joined San Diego and and just enjoying life like he always does. You know right now are situations. What it is you know we've got down or 53 man roster or move on I don't know what's going to happen in the future. If the right situation was there you know on my contact junior I don't know what he would say you know at that point. -- right now us paralympic concern force major concerns a statement players that we have and trying to. Trying to improve this team get right to go against instant."

[10:58]" Quarterbacks. -- to ask you do your evaluation it was a tough decision to make. -- was and what what goes into it besides quarterback every is that they have to do with how well the guy gets all the team while he helps. Preparation -- Because there were pretty close. For years and Matt Cassel from what I can observe I don't know approaches used to break it down."

[11:19]" Right well I think in terms of all the field intangibles and all that that that both players are are outstanding -- they work are there. They're smart they get along well everybody's day -- that relationship of their teammates and and the other quarterbacks and all that's I'll think that was really a factor you know in the end you have to. Again make that decision he feels -- football team long term and short term then and you know we've -- Cassell. And and feel good about map but it included NATO force. You know he came in here as an undrafted free agent. Earned a spot on the roster for himself last year and I think he's got a lot of good football heading into. We just felt like heaven and and not counsel or a little bit at this point. As Kevin. Progressed along like he thought who looks like a talented kid if you picked it up and made some nice passes last couple games how how far as he advances ago. Acquired accounts you know call long way since spring since our spring camps and he's worked -- he certainly is better grasp of the offense and has mechanics have improved. You know college he was primarily shotgun quarterback and and you know going to catch and throw it back there more understand what bitten play action ball handling so forth so. You know mechanically it's a lot different to take the ball from senator drop back and throws in the post you know catcher in the gun. And on Mac there's so he you know he's made a lot of mechanical adjustments and and sectors he's improved he's you know good decision maker on the field. And again only an opportunity play -- thought that he is able to move the team get on the influence you gotta be impressed with that some of those of good throws and runs and -- also was just manage in the game and -- right people or on the -- quarterbacks what is Tom brings those. We'll talk practice and and -- so well and so. Hopefully -- in a sample is on once that. And I get rusty every game is played -- pre season normally play a little bit but. You know. They've figured out with Peyton Manning is in practice. General Tom practiced some thoughts practiced -- training camp and expect quite a bit actually so."

[13:26]" And I -- buddy had a good day out there today and and."

[13:30]" No cracks and on Wednesday and the rest of the league and and I go from there."

[13:34]" All right Brady's press conference this morning he was asked a question that if you of the year apparently -- wrote you rise because that's how. Tom answered the question was asked health wise what percentage would you say you -- rat. Brady's response was I don't know coaches hate percentages so usually don't give them. I have been yelled at more times -- comments I made some laying off that one right that so he sees it too."

[13:59]" I gotta play with a straight professional. You know -- punish players event. While certainly not going to put a percentage on. Resident -- in his. Who is on exactly who was on pretend 126 presented itself. Says Buick you'll know how -- and it out of zero -- offensive line look health -- going into week one. Well again better Steve get better I think that. You know we're still early in the week -- so things go here Wednesday one lead in really. You know like every -- practice and in -- by via their forties before the game and and so the level that are and then but. It's -- guys that are you know come along hopefully you'll Morgan on there Wednesday. We're very conservative defensive backs now well as the -- cornerbacks. Real progress to suspend the season long and it's of those positions. Well we."

[14:54]" You look at the two rookies well right Wheatley and you know I think that they've both you know worked hard Jonathan well I missed couple weeks there and first two pre season games apiece bounce back and and I played the last couple on and we please them and out there and and I think he's improving too he's got a good skills that he's that good coverage abilities. On the -- time. You know just these -- a few things that it that it via you know salt Air Force and you know looses. Better and it's. And got a good -- tough kid tackles well. You know make some plays it's -- it's placed on all the planned Ravens and first week in and you know play Cleveland Atlanta in the past they scuttled live experience and with O'Neal let it gets another experience god there so bowl. You know go -- thousand and you know ethnic. -- they -- I was going to ask about O'Neal we see in your radar screen for -- while that he just sort of pop up and that we need to grab this veteran leadership and experience and so forth. Well we don't know at Cincinnati's going to do but it didn't surprise us that they did release and we then. We want that was a possibility right and so. After it was released we you know we contact and work or accountant and so. You know he's here and there is also that's an experience as punt returner in. -- we've we see in the back of his Jersey on that before. Those holes on the interceptions so."

[16:19]" We you -- now that it's out there ethnic and forget about it but it minimum strangers and I was gonna ask what San Antonio is at right now though Athens. What quote. What would you be using him in the return game also lose that produce the numbers today he does the pick at the you know that's skill level. I think I able to us how to network -- players. And when Kevin gets back you know now -- handle those responsibilities. You know the seed it's certainly. There's possibility that bowl or from there and then. You know make the decision based on to see him you know -- person but he -- past and that's. You know were aware that that's that possibility with -- book situation do you game plan to game one was to him."

[17:10]" Well. It takes him out of the mix and some of the of the situations that he would normally be in their on some horse of situations third down two minute things like that but. Again that's kind of what training camps or is everybody you know works in those different situations all our backs have done that and you know mom and Sammy and and Lawrence course and he at all you know Walt on that so. No -- or at some combination their ago. To you know in his absence of an unknown Kevin comes back next week then. You know we'll expect him back me rated ago. And -- left -- roster spot to you know reactivate him from the there reserve is an -- that he's on right now."

[17:50]" LaMont Jordan community you know let go by. The greatest books like hasn't lost much at all big strong kid you know it's the holes extremely it sure does that drives the files -- I mean he's a guy has skills similar figures on when he catches the ball Wallace -- It does -- good football player I think you know these committees run the ball power like he says it's the Freddy has a -- security chief east you know pushes forward and on breaks some tackles loses the strength catches the ball well I spent dependable player for -- and in the two games and he's played in the opportunities that he's got a budget carries and he's you know he's done well so. You know -- I think it is is another you know of the skill player in the oval comics place. During his pre season ago a lot of blitzing and there's lot of penetration and there was. But -- is what is -- one way to shore that up I mean obviously this team what -- there was talk of what they're always going to -- they were very coordinated and and when they have this certain blocking schemes that they use. Is that. You have been over joke what we feel comfortable they're getting their helmets on helmets and all of them they paid."

[18:54]" Well we gotta do that we go to better. You know get a better job of you know -- a better job blocking them and we get a better job of breed net and thrown it and catch -- and you know get the ball out of market and I don't timing getting into the right places so. You know passing game's early. You know 1111 people involved than ever played it really -- it's not just the -- thrown caption. Of that that everything gotta be coordinated the spacing and all that so. You know we do better job coaching than we -- better job execute that that. They thing on the blitzes you know when when the defense on a lot of people it's really easier to block come. If you just block them and other words they don't have any space the Russian everybody's got a gap. And pretty much have to hit those gaps and if he just blocked the guy in that gap then. You know -- time to throw the ball on and that's a lot tougher. A lot easier in some ways than it is when their only rushing 45 guys when they can. You know go inside go outside you know -- more games and twists and stuff like that via the block. You know we've just got to do a better job of you know. Stepping up get them square. And and give the quarterback a chance to step up and thrown at same time the receivers guys do their part -- You know to get open and then and to be allocation with a -- and hit them so. You're right we got hurt on that several times in pre season and several games and now that's that's an area it was just so we go to the trouble."

[20:17]" Talk about extremes of Leicester you have with the older line backing Cruz and in the league in value got. Three rookies and even guys like there was in the are still fairly young guys. These rookies what does besides me of course -- as -- jump on the front replacements Ross."

[20:34]" Yeah they are thought they did a good job than and they were productive in the pre season games you know area and going back to the Baltimore game you know meant the plan upon return reports ago on the -- would want to Europe on whatever -- shows speed and and them productive in the games Cleveland interception against Baltimore and and some pressure on the quarterback and I think he's you know good prospect than. You know on the early at three rookies in the secondary you know includes Slater so. In a six rookies on defenses there's a lot as you know it's offering a but. Feel like those players the earned it they deserve to be here and based on the performance of the pre season there was this an intentional on youth movement defensively or -- him. Something that just. All have to with these movies and well their performance hadn't -- and I mean I don't think we can keep players just because there. -- status and it got about their own field an element and so. But I I think all six of players did an and that's why they're not not because of you know we -- Kareem Brown master who's a fourth round exits as I really doubt that it's it's about performance and you know and O'Connell and on the other side of the ball as you know seven guys as you mentioned there -- a lot of young players around like you know woods announced and there meriwether and you know guys like that but you know seven rookies to maker team. Coming off last season I think that's you know hopefully says something about their performance -- what we think they can do laser treatment it was your linebacker Billy -- Jersey kinda looked I was -- six -- drugs except get you know he reminds me of Steve is. Biron -- Byron yeah. Yeah who played for us that -- the Giants you know 65 and anyway skinny legs real high -- long legged guy but he played with the surprising power and leverage. And -- little -- same way he looks tall and skinny and like everybody you get under about. He's got those long arms and it's Alex Seymour you know Seymour is another guy you. You don't realize how powerful he has. Two you're really watch them and an even though he's all 662. Those long arms enable him to kind of get that first punch in and and you know create the momentum going in his favor rather than the nowhere around -- as --"

[22:46]" Marino for an arm injury -- Or August went while the -- Rowell via. When when your transition from a team a lot of veterans to a team a lot of rookies as is the case this year's victory. Unique challenges the coaching staff after some is more man hours involved with coaching young players. Then letting veteran players sort of find their way is that a good read the situation going allowing him."

[23:11]" You know I think there's some truth to that state -- you know rookies to stayed there really know anything -- start from scratch as far as you know what thinks alike in the NFL and so forth but. You always have new players coming on your team we've we have plenty of them last year we have plan this year shall play them next year you know it be free agency or you know. Spring signings or drafts draft choices when that so. Always that element of Connery. Re teaching your team and some guys heard before and confident here again the guys here for the first time and you know yet fickle that kinda explain it to him so they understand you even if they play in the outfield before why don't you --"

[23:49]" Tony Russa and roosters often says that that he had -- enjoys that part of spring training because it's your time -- year we can really it's all different football because it's a different game plan thing week but. And -- in baseball. Spring training he gets the heat he rested he gets deported stuff that he may not get a chance hindrance to you get that similar excitement going into training camp that a baseball manager would."

[24:09]" Yeah absolutely Steve I think it's very similar one -- draft the players and we were bring the rookies and your started very fundamental level. No stance and hand placement and footwork and in some of them are most basic things that it that it takes but it's it's fun to do that and go back to work on those things -- You know you get into the season and you're working with you know Tom Brady and Randy Moss and Mike Vrabel and Rodney Harrison and and guys that have played a lot of football that have been through a lot of schemes and a lot of all the tricks. And and it's fun to work with them too because he can do things with those players that are. You know that they're -- a lot of fondness as a coach you know put together stuff and and it's been a pretty sophisticated but -- you know great players that can execute and understand it."

[25:17]" It was fun down there in. When I was down their Jupiter with the Cardinals -- they actually in the morning the had a game the afternoon went over there in the morning with Tony. And they were put an end their play with runners on first and third. And I have four plays four different place yeah that if that guy on first tried to steal. That there was four different plays they could have and so they they spent the whole morning going through those. I mean -- I realized it was a much to you know -- throat guy out at second -- you know you don't get the guy on third if he breaks but. That a goal you know fake throws and cut often thrown in -- south. It was that was pretty interesting I realize there were some watched the first and third to Japan and a walker. I think they don't boot drop woodland. That -- kind of fought through walk through -- you know just -- Milwaukee and then they have the seeds one of and they have all the infielders in the catchers and and and you know I have like three or four different groups do it and then they'd you know. One guy goes and they they run the different plays little -- going to actually see it will get everybody going sometimes -- that's -- is -- a a -- so we don't start the inning off was exactly what I want to."

[26:26]" an out exactly. Yet it that operatic clean energy. Dot net coaches question of the week that's what we do that again I was -- the only energy our dialect coaches question of the week in this week's questions that -- pretty good questions and Dave O'Neill David asked some knowledge -- good question some players with a lot of skill can be detrimental to a team that they have a bad attitude and are not quote unquote team oriented. You coaches taken several players at this type of history have been successful in changing their behavior. How do you prevent this kind of distraction affecting your team."
