[0:02]" It is our number two dale holly here on Sports Radio WEI like but it keep Paul Carroll -- Labor -- all hope you're enjoying it people just. Getting out of bed here today it's -- Monday off. Can fight it out Deltha O'Neal now part of this Patriots team did not -- it I think so people out of late Sunday. Again after a little bit I miss those days. It doesn't Adelaide anything -- now. Not anymore if you're late today you missed help O'Neal signing with the New England Patriots Bill Belichick that the podium heard his comments about O'Neal -- as -- said before. Coach came on here's a guy out the old it was a special teams killer of this Patriots team and -- I don't know what his role will be what you would think is good as he has been in terms of special teams. My play that role with the major you know I wonder if we might see him right away on punt returns you know don't forget Wes Welker and hurt himself couple weeks ago. Against Philadelphia area rib injury. Maybe they don't want to expose -- to to any undue. Shots. As he tries to get as you know back to full strength maybe they want to you know 'cause I mean he would necessarily have to have a lot of reps or anything like that. You know to get up to speed doing something like that so -- CM and admiral it'll be interesting -- go forward -- so this Patriots team now just a couple of days away. From kicking things off here to Patriots Monday Mike but it -- of broadcasting live. From Gillette Stadium and Ty Warren come and hang out and Patriots Monday time -- Paul the morning and part of our attack. As having gone. Is going. Are you a little surprised by the amount of transactions that have taken place over the last. They're two you'd think you'd kinda think Saturday you get down a 53 and and you you go from may have it. You guys still evolving every day."

[1:46]" Well -- those guys in the problem Beethoven and Ryder. There's sister's room. -- and -- critical oozes America's most Sammy got put together for the season so. You know none really surprises me anymore anymore at this point you know would being -- wanted to succeed like a lot of titles."

[2:05]" Go when -- your sixty here is exciting to finally be out of that. That pre season motives are focused on games this Sunday that are actually in -- matter."

[2:13]" Well -- and not to -- pre season I lose. This is what was the the regular season matters that thing you know. Government. Puppet a lot of people you know -- That the pre season a lot of different lawyers book. And overall scheme of things you know to beat out of going to the pre season don't work on. -- the little things a fundamental burns. Baird allows you to going to move the blitzes. And you know different patterns so like -- Romo sort of that is why do you. You know -- go to -- and maybe."

[2:47]" It Tedy Bruschi joining us as well I'd just distance and -- a -- technicality. Press releases. Did you know -- I don't O'Neal as a and a teammate."

[2:56]" This is how are you in form after -- half. Now I walked in locked in today in the meetings and we with -- and we'll move to the team in. Nobody's going to be a welcome addition now looking you guys tell us about him and you played against them a lot of Denver. Oh I'll sign a seven guys the only thing I always ever notice about the colonial as he was always -- his hands on balls -- hands on balls knocking them down you know intercepted -- making big plays and that's the you really become a cornerback. That's recognized I mean and so when you talk about him you always talk about. The big plays that he's made in his in his career."

[3:34]" Me ask you this and I kind of part of Terrell Buckley guy it's always seem to be on the ball good ball skills lot of interceptions any. Comparisons they -- what -- Sylvia yet throughout -- Teddy Beckett --"

[3:45]" Sure throughout that a lot of the same things in in terms of -- knocking down balls in -- whether it even even if it's either fumble recovery or something to -- two I was always there and that you know kick returns. A multifaceted player like that I agree with you."

[3:59]" What will be like for guy Teddy Deltha O'Neal comes in six days until week like game one here week one of the NFL. Learning this Patriots system you what I have been around a long time you guys have learned the system what's it like for new guy coming in to try to pick it up knowing there's a game six days from."

[4:14]" It's difficult there there -- a learning curve that he's going to have to go through but I don't know him personally and I don't know -- of football acumen how much how much he's -- to pick up on things so no that's just one of those you know we'll see."

[4:28]" You guys make the transition now for games that you know don't count on the regular season don't count in terms of the scheduled two game planning for specific team. How much different is that the preparation now between those pre season games and focusing on one opponent the Kansas City Chiefs. "

[4:42]" Well obviously now there's it sometimes in in pre season weeks I'm -- ties are intelligent is that sometimes you -- about improving as a team yourself you know and that's -- that's -- the B seasons for like you know we've got fundamental things we've got time to work -- got two practices the -- that we can work on fundamentals that you better to get better -- but right now it's defensively focus in on the offense now on -- we stop this -- player -- stuff this passing plays its. It's more specialized now."

[5:09]" Is that one of the things because we have had -- a lot of the fans and have called in. Expressing some concerns about the defense and particularly the opening drives and I know that you both you guys have talked to after games expressed similar kind of concerns but is that. One of the things that kind of what you think. We can get about our business because you haven't necessarily been focusing on that particular offense that you will be now with the -- come to town that makes you sort of filled a more comfortable but when you guys are going."

[5:36]" I'll say this I know. We're might not be -- might not have been. Work and only -- secrecy sip of took a moment when we were were known. Well over a team would love to have been Baltimore. Temple batters. Eagles and there. And you know minutes -- you know the proof -- the pre season and the receiving damn good this important. This as important as the red losers winners and a sister you want to go out there and -- through the small fundamental things -- That would allow you to go out there and do. The more -- it would over there might be. And you know there have been some Pegasus is too long ago and hours Picasso and floss -- tomatoes are now fast and screwed -- players. I don't know we're wrong we're blow -- through real players were better. That's why even to this point going to the cavs again we're -- and -- there's been when you do in order to do better. As a game in the visitors so we can. Collectively -- you know. You know not a reason to do falls under one club."

[6:41]" Yeah I mean there's. There's a bottom lineman in terms of us defensively when we go out there on the series it's it's did they scored didn't score and especially to start the game. I -- no matter what team it was we're still we still wanted to put a good performance -- and right now. They have scored on us an opening drive and that's something that you know we've we've we've preached about starting fast and you know this this entire camp ever since teams have taken -- taken an -- on on the opening drive and a so that's another thing we're talking about this week we want to get out there we we hit that first. First a serious you want to get a three and out."

[7:13]" We're talking a Tedy Bruschi Ty Warren here Patriots Monday on Sports Radio WEEI you guys -- on the defensive side of the football. -- fans excited about the young rookies as part of -- fence and you got a guy playing with you Teddy and Gerard Mayo you've got will heighten the secondary Terrence Wheatley. Talk about these young guys and what you've seen so far rookie class the fans are getting excited about right now."

[7:35]" I think. Derived directly correlates in my position he plays right next to me and I think -- in that the training camp I was just sort of sort of watching him closely to see what kind of attitude he had it he was if you would if you want to just you know do whatever we the coaches master whatever the veterans -- and pick up on the things that we are trying to trying to teach him and coached him -- in his -- been nothing but positive and he's come in and done his work and that. -- I think is. His athletic. Abilities are are obvious you know the speed that he has how he's he's physical and that the keys I think that he's he's where he wants to be hopefully in -- into the regular season he he's healthy and now hopefully you know he'll be able to help puts us in trivia there. You seem pretty impressed with with. Mail right from the start a team like he struck -- was a guy that really focused and you you talked about what his off field stuff. Yeah on -- world they're just I mean I'll be. Are we walk can run on the sidelines or something and then and -- got a question for me he would that you see here what did you see there. No Teddy what film that you watched today I mean that's that's just that's the attitude I'm talking about the willingness that he has that he wants to be -- good football player and you know I see that."

[8:46]" is that normal with some of the younger guys you know some -- and -- defensive linemen that come into -- is that. The norm -- the exception have a guy that's that willing to learn."

[8:54]" I mean me -- to keep get a lot of different drug comment. You know with the reception Mario on a couple of grown woman gets a -- as a common news and and you know as he connected detective Miller retirement papers notes in his ribs and and you get to does -- like sponsors and they wanted to -- claimed altered -- that they can be -- All -- you know what I'll saying there's. Would you know and I don't know got to him. Eric -- Marco gambler that almost -- you know as a -- do you see year. You know when you learn one thing here company known -- obviously couldn't gather. No -- as we brought civilian always duo premiere of in the game our listeners know respond and so as a rookie and all rookies visited today. Homeowners seem to -- The military and there's still learn you know --"

[9:46]" was one of those guys also mean me being a veteran there when he came and he was one of those guys I was just you know want to learn techniques where replace my hands and you see that the type of player he's turning to now I mean that's that's a that's a great sign for young players feel like that."

[9:59]" I think the guys who committee hearing and act like they know everything and treat this like it's it's and it's nothing neo and I know -- those guys don't last too long in this league because you look at. I you've ever tell you talk about it with -- dale -- for an anti -- was well. That transition from college football in the NFL it's like real learning everything so a guy comes in -- has already know it. It's not going to make it is."

[10:21]" Yeah I mean yeah I criticism about the rookies are authority like you -- on the pre season now as a gets to be the regular season now -- you've gotta you've got a guy that that's the younger guys that you wanted to -- that maybe a -- now after a special -- special teams because you see the mentality of players on special team. Are they going to go a step away they they both put their bodies on the line five down on kickoff team and and and holed that guys on punt return. These are these are what these are things we're going to need these these young guys do like I was coming in as a third round pick in the it really. Start to play defensively to my third years so but I was on the special teams and those special teams are our key indicators of how their careers will progress."

[11:04]" Well Mike I might explain why guys and we were talking with a roster -- the show guys like we've been thrown in Matthew Slater here. And some other guys maybe like Chad Jackson you know maybe it then that might have something to do it -- might offer. A little bit of a window and wanted to stick with the roster -- the with all the guys. And I know we wasn't here very long but John Lynch is obviously a widely respected. Player in this league nine time pro bowler. Probably on his way to the Hall of Fame how surprised were you two guys to have him. Be let go yesterday."

[11:33]" Now -- in terms of of of release I don't I don't know how it went I mean but. Being around John -- talking around John you know he was he was he was willing to do whatever we wanted him to do I mean in terms of an outright released like that I mean where he's going with -- now he's going to be picked up on for on another team or not you know we'll see but. You know as it is at the end of the road or not for John but you know I'm sure there -- some conversations he had with coach coach Belichick that -- really know about."

[12:02]" And we've certainly seen while ago I don't know who -- or six and use it is it is only instill those bonds it was destiny stuff. In almost six you know mainland. So there is Spurs -- and you know like they're Wizards you know this I don't know models times."

[12:19]" ask about that that day in general obviously I gotta believe you know none of -- work in a position where all the sudden we come and we all these are people are going to be at least as players. What is that they like you would see on hard knocks where that you know he's not walking around it. Seem like that gotta be tough days as a team some of these guys I played with prolonged and the community impact. No longer year it's it's going to be tough days and you keep yourself wrong. I don't even you know -- you don't know."

[12:50]" Even even meet covenant that the facility and once we we know we've had that meeting whether the war rosters is somewhat cemented -- mean. You still look around and a I congratulate guys congratulate guys that are even been in the league 1011 years in and some of the other guys that have been. In the league at 34 years and I congratulate them and -- like. Congratulate me too because I'm I'm still -- of -- to make an NFL interesting I think every every year that I make an NFL team it is. You know it's something that -- product."

[13:21]" I would they pick LA grave internal. Might be in the United I already mentioned you know it's I commend them you know the Ravens strong fan club here but at just the guy you -- That he spent the whole year last year in the practice squad basically running routes and stuff and needs -- defensive player by. Fight -- trade and -- sees him doing that stuff I'm working hard and preparing you decides to. Change his position and -- is. Trying to carve its way there to win that things -- talked about busting wedges and into all the grunt work that no one really notices about certainly guys like us that don't know football so level that you guys that you don't eat drink and sleep but every day. And I think that's that speaks volumes Rhode Island."

[13:59]" To to the -- As -- longer -- on this Ross -- you know you know reminder of talk about holiday about city. Rumors hours ago man -- You dues you know relative to the moment he's my decision also is beast this doesn't saves and a -- articles we it is you know were regular. The world normal there might have six to reps against remotely like the hardest not -- flaws easily you have a low relative."

[14:28]" Yeah that I see -- before past two in latest guess that just worked in the studio. Yeah patriarch Nomar and I don't know lots of what -- irony -- football players -- that -- that -- it. There's if there's a guy that you can't really find a position for but he does a lot of things that he does a lot of things real well and he's tough he's smart he's a good football player. You know -- those of guys that that -- value to round here in and move -- spots. Wood past my answer to Rutgers."

[14:57]" You gotta go prepare for the Kansas City Chiefs Tedy Bruschi Ty Warren a -- by TD BankNorth banking it's faster easier hassle free and Rodney Harrison got a committee when -- got a break which going to keep on a Patriots guys in here it's high in Teddy walk out. Rod it's going to sit down and talk to put all the Robby Mike and all good document -- I don't and a what's -- It happens all good that it's Eddie's team T shirt on he let it go that's my guy. One of the things that we talked about with Teddy and tie and I think it's interesting was just the the nature of the weekend in the ups and downs that so many players must have gone through with you you think on Saturday made the cut you get down a 53 and then all of a sudden -- to pretty high profile guys get let go. On Sunday John Lynch a particular yeah and you want to -- them for a long time by. You know that still had to be somewhat surprising UNC guy like that."

[15:51]" Let's -- Well you know the funny part about. The NFL would -- means an awful long in the unfortunately for John he's had a long illustrious career. I'm pro Bulls. Just Hall of Fame Sharon Hall of Fame. Famer but that's always applause but tough point in time during the during the pre season is. Basket to cut guys that you become friends which. With in which that you know John and I we really started be chemicals and other guys -- heads Jackson. You solve. Grow from infineon -- arms started really comment to a zone which is a very tough time but yet still these guys can play full ball and wishing the best in the future."

[16:31]" A year but I read a story today Rodney where you came in yesterday didn't know about Fernando Bryant didn't know some of these guys released Teddy joked that even on. Even at his level he keeps his cell phone off on cut it is want to get phone calls. He's the same way do you not want to know about this stuff do you not follow it isn't just something where when you coming you'll find out this -- if that's a final."

[16:50]" While mom probably the complete opposite I keep my cellphone with me in up until -- yesterday -- Sunday at 4 o'clock. Get my phone with me and say they hit it is going to happen is going to happen I'm going to find out eventually but. The something that you keep you try to keep well -- but yet still some of the players you know a lot of transactions. You know there may. Georgia during the day and during the week so you never know what happens but ultimately if he plays his game long enough it's going to happen to all of us."

[17:17]" In a little bit back there NC. Does not not a man behavior around amiga games obviously James Sanders and Brandon Meriweather and via the illustrious veteran. We knew we we have a plan we always have a play I was still. And I shall we the last ones to find out about it hopefully you especially you. Expect that there are some young guys on the steep and that's secondary you've been known as the Mench or a great veteran on the Patriots team. The one particular Brandon meriwether exit merit the safety spot we see the athletic ability we see. I'm just the physical attributes what do you seem Ronnie from year one of the year to what I'm new year's rookie now it's a second year guy probably going to. Place to meaningful football talk about its transition be one year."

[18:01]" Really probably the biggest difference I'll see him Brandon is his confidence level. With a deep sense nor in all adjustments and actually vocalize them. -- one across the board. Hum at safety at our position at safety on our team got to be very versatile. You have to have the ability to talk in line every one up and make adjustments and Brandon has done a tremendous job of that. He's very confident now he's able to just to play full ball and make plays like you've seen in pre season. As you head to be you know the week one in the -- still get that. Opening day kind of feeling -- it'll butterflies of I have butterflies right now yeah to -- on -- which ought to be on the radio may not matter off that's easy. You know you still get excited for the same -- the same field though the bubbles in the stomach the excitement. You look back at all hard work that you put in. The sacrifices that you made. -- just really want to watch them play well are prepared hard along with a bunch of these guys and I was so excited that we can actually bring everyone together. Game plan for team and actually go up there trying to executed."

[19:04]" To matching game playing you start look at this Kansas City team they've got -- young quarterback they've got a real low watt receiver Dwayne Bowe who. Was a great rookie last year out of LSU when you look at this Kansas City team what are the things that you look at defensively they are going to be a challenge for us we have to address he."

[19:20]" We're gonna win this football -- number 11 and foremost is nonstop in the running game Larry Johnson is a beast and have a couple of young guys who are big. Hard running around running backs that can actually back them up. They have. You know the best -- in the probably ever play the game and Tony Gonzales they have a young receiver and bowl. Who speak and who makes plays all over the field have a big on physical aggressive offensive line and those -- the things that you look at because now they have athletic quarterback. He can scramble we can -- he can drop back and he's not making a lot of mistakes and word out out of Kansas City is that. You know they don't want him turn a ball over and so. You could see that they're they're probably might take some shots you know and and do as a couple things that keep us off balance but. You know all in all we have to go off there we have to execute our game plan and not blow coverages and tackle well. -- Houston team it is to sort of."

[20:12]" Player the -- with so many rookies and young guys I mean it was amazing I was working on some preview stuff for the paper and they have guys that just have no experience and are going to be out they're going to get their feet wet quickly Gillette Stadium must be an interesting team to kind of play when you don't know really know. A whole lot about some guys that can be playing key role."

[20:30]" It is as it is pretty interest him because I think they're going with seventeen rookies so what does that mean means -- that means -- that means very athletic. They don't know what -- ahead not to be intimidated. But yet still you know it's exciting and I mean an arm up there was he's excited about that yet a lot of team speed a lot of aggressiveness. You know guys from the -- Some excitement out there. Millions deal we have the focus on what we do and we have to play our game and we epic tackle we have the makes -- that we don't give a big plays and gets a quarterback."

[21:01]" Roddy you mentioned Tony Gonzales and as a safety your matched up against some very good tight ends week in and week out where does Gonzalez rank in terms of tight end you faced overall game blocking it seems to be a tremendous receiver Hall of Fame receiver -- and that pop Warner too tight and you face an offender."

[21:17]" Oh yeah I would. Actually put on -- on the down Shannon Sharpe was tremendous. You know tremendous are -- coming wide receiver slash tied in the about played against. It was tremendous blockers well. As well as Antonio Gates and those guys -- who -- the world but Tony Gonzales the special -- against -- for nine years wells and San Diego and we we have some great matchup twice a year he saw Garcia toys he saw me. -- But yet still we have a lot of respect one another and it's going to be fun I mean when you play this game you want to -- against the best and you know this is -- opportunity for me."

[21:53]" Rodney talked about the the -- looking forward to getting out there with game plan and full you know regular season mode. Talk -- entire about this a little bit to how concerned were you with the opening drives in particular that all four games. We we allow points in the on the first drive and I'm sure that's not. You know game plan -- no game plan I'm sure that wasn't
