[0:00]" It's a Patriots Friday we are Gillette -- from Logan Mankins and -- the one mark Patriots Friday regulars who we have not had the opportunities in the studio with before. With a nice to me to -- to see you all glad to be Indians there really mean that really means -- scrutinized this year yeah absolutely early on about the glad to be here part yeah all. Absolutely. I this is the obligatory question we always -- before the regular season starts are you sick of practicing in and pre season games and all that stuff and anxious and getting old for real. Yeah I think they're by stomping on the way you know we're excited about the season star in Allen and you know regular season and and religious -- out there and and you know it. Somebody else for change so will be fine you know the to get this thing no."

[0:48]" You're one of the new guys. On office last year along with Randy Moss another pretty get a new guy. How did you -- did you change this year and what was your approach with that Tom Brady. In year two as opposed to what you did year."

[1:03]" Well I think you know for for myself -- you know not. You know they call formation I'm not on the opposite direction you know we're the first here it's now -- you know. Learn formations play as a whole bit where I come into this area and all that's those in there it's more about technique you know where do you want mean this you know. Different things you know we're building on and get better with."

[1:25]" We've been told that that there has to be such a report between quarterback and receiver has been on any team. But it's almost even more important here because of the way this offense runs and the adjustments you have to make. You know they don't say okay west you're going to run a six yard out here and that's all you do. You might do a whole bunch of things depending on what the defense lines up is that accurate that that's the way it is here."

[1:45]" Yeah absolutely you know you know waited -- Herman always -- in you know route adjustments and things on the fly and and things like -- really in tune with the you know in the NC the same things that the quarterbacks and so. You know after an on the same page of especially you know Tom's ability no Bowden and and make sure they you know on the you're in the right spots in. If you get that corrected then you're not going to be out there how long did you feel it took cute to to get that feeling with him. You know I feel like got a pretty good understanding of the game meant and things like that there's there's just a lot of adjustments ago along with what we'd do went. You know why I thinking I didn't really feel real comfortable with it until you know later on in the season and stuff and and -- you know it's still even now learning process and and some -- you're comfortable with."

[2:38]" Are you at the point now you feel like you know what he's thinking you don't have the the verbal all the time and say Tom when I'm here I'm arm trying to do this he he is just a silent thing now you at that point."

[2:51]" You know a little bit you know I mean you know I feel like. You know we need to talk about something we talked about it if not you know usually -- over talked in you know reduce saying yes yes. -- down -- the same thing too before we even finish her senses so. You know it -- come development."

[3:11]" You -- snuck up on some people last year I mean hundred catches and you think you're more than a hundred no I know but I'm just and -- you surprise some people. I mean yeah a man I guess I was surprised -- no other people Owens say. I don't know I -- expect you know great things myself and and wanting to you know be a perfectionist out there and and you know also RO known of it -- and -- from mean maybe maybe from the outside as perspective -- I guess that the point that was I was getting -- is that Buick sneaking up on anybody this year if you did last year you're not this year. Well you know and that's okay too you know so you know it -- period supporting cast you know some some -- players -- you know are different. -- and plays and and so hopefully I can decide on that."

[4:04]" Here in Foxboro the key phrases or so scouting and getting better if you're not getting better you're getting worse. How did you how do you feel like you've got better in the offseason what did you work on."

[4:15]" Alone you know from a self. A lot of it was you know kind of getting. Being better physically you know and just. You know being healthy and and things like that in and make sure -- you know -- radio for the season and and you know a lot of one ratio Rosen -- you know. -- doesn't shape last year bit but to a whole new level away in two. You know never get tired you know calls them out there you know I want field to run in in mountain and -- you know feel fatigued at all in. And and make sure the you know on golden."

[4:53]" There wasn't a weight thing more than a more so McCarty you know thing is that what you're."

[4:57]" You know I mean I. That's their plan you know -- about five pounds lower than wanted to last year as told me quite a bit. Leaving and now breaks and and and ninety minutes or five towns you know. For six Americans what was the biggest surprise for you being on a receiving corps with Randy Moss. And just how smart of a player use you know. You know he's not only is C you know gifted physically with. You know speed size and you know great hands the whole bit. You know he he he -- and you know the the the part they use you know smart he understands coverages and how to attack moment. And and Ortiz is those on the self same page with Tom and and what we're kind of culture of that."

[5:44]" No we we heard that a lot last year in Bill Belichick said he's one of the smartest receivers one of the smartest players he he's ever coached. Yeah -- do have an example like when you're out there on the field and he point something out -- what what does he pointing out that that impresses you."

[6:00]" You know I think of a lot of the routes who we are in you know our girls Kollek options and stuff and you know he he sees it you know and he conceded. You know every time you see nosing under it's almost like you know I'm the quarterback out -- receivers is. He understands coverages and he's seen in the same thing the quarterback's hand and and when you get back culmination with that it exists. It's a nice and has received four."

[6:27]" Coroner but he knows what the other team is trying to do to him in and what they're trying to accomplish and sorry. Who just relay that to you in and and it's probably easier for for Tom because. There clearly on the same page -- to the same thing."

[6:41]" Right absolutely I mean we've we do emotion or somethin' in the -- run with mean you know be like cover five you know it's common right here in. And you know kind of shut that out to each other and make sure that. You know world --"

[6:54]" As you're preparing to face Kansas City Chiefs I would think it it's a little more difficult just because they got a lot of new faces that they've made a lot of changes. Even if you watch film of them from last year. A lot of that's going to be different from easy on Sunday. Now it is and you know."

[7:11]" It is a little bit different the you know there's some pre season games three get to see. Some younger guys are going to play him and dying you know they have a lot of athletic ability and and they they hustled little ballroom Rula also. You know we're have to match their intensity and effort maturity -- You watch the game last night at all that it what you think of it. The size of being boring boring with. I mean I don't know in. Your article no offense you know mean. You know thing I don't know I. Five months of opinion about you know other teams in the game some things like that so."

[7:53]" Was it did you watch although that we were we were talking about this we got in late. Intentionally to miss all the pregame ceremonies. Superbowl champs did you watch all that stuff."

[8:04]" No I didn't and then I got him now you know five minutes in the first orders. We all planned just about five minutes and at first I didn't plan and they were dealt Purdue."

[8:14]" I had no desire to see all that other stuff how long did it take you to. Get over the hump a little bit about what happened last February."

[8:22]" I think you know we got back to starting with mini camps and things like you know again -- or cousins to he notices. It's and and you know -- for a -- year him and and that's what it is in the and that's word you know we're doing."

[8:35]" The history of the National Football League is is that the team that loses the Super Bowl. Has a tough time the next year it happened more often than not how do you avoid that."

[8:45]" I think he's just continue to do -- what you know you know and and non you know go backwards to keep -- forward and and you know and continuing to improve in and get better and on or do vases."

[8:59]" And one and one of the reasons this is what you mention help some teams struggle because they're not healthy and that's why it's. His interest communities that you worked on your health. Just being durable in the offseason because that's one of things that can take down a take on a team and that's that's the case anytime but especially. A team is trying to prove something."

[9:20]" And I salute counselors and -- it is -- them you know keep things. I mean where Powell so yeah you've been here just the one year but we were doing the math earlier if you know for guys who have been here for a few years Palmer Tedy Bruschi those guys. They played an extra season. Justin post season games over the last few years. Right yes -- you know those extra games you know I mean designated. That does take notes or immune those extra hits and and things like that Saddam. You know those are you know strong mentally strong type guys that are you know really go in and it. You know they wouldn't have any other way for her so that they can be a part of the return game this year. You know that's what could spell -- once. And do you know almost four you know so loved him back there and and you know trying to. In my ball in to get my hands on the ball and and engage Conan and try and you know it was part two team in the and there are."

[10:20]" You don't seem to believe -- catches -- just you just can't."

[10:23]" You know what I've learned. Tyler and back in college and never. Approach -- like twice markers. And then Ricky yours aren't the winter and then after target objective few things that. Wise and I -- you don't -- crazy thank you are -- all Wes Welker joining us on -- Patriots spreading good -- thank you."
