" I welcome back to -- ten point on Tony and asked what it would make a part though the patriots. Defeated Baltimore Ravens on -- 2721. Between two of what now appear to be the better teams. In the AFC. Pats defense has been a lot better than people thought it might absent Jerod -- absent Richard Seymour. The offense has not been but still the 31 of the better overall. Than you thought."
" We would see at this point yes I think everybody would answer that question yes. The tip offs for me was when Belichick treated Richard Seymour. Then I thought he must really think this defense is good you and everyone else to -- that could be you know to be trading up the player of this caliber at this time. That was very skeptical of that because you know they had a couple of -- who struggle a little bit shocked candidate definitely defense that bans. We don't break you know certainly at the right times. As soon as he did that little thing went off my head and since he might make you go we think."
" Yeah I Belichick clearly is it's coming up roses here all the way around certainly. It looked like Vince Wilfork might miss some time he was on the field. The secondary looks like it's playing very well lead but looks like he's going to be a significant acquisitions -- that's incredible how they can they didn't fight guys for certain spots and certain rules. Then they do a year after year after year he isn't that great example of that in the need to know when you know. It's amazing how they do it now obviously the patriots caught a break at the end of this game the ravens were driving. As time was running down Mark Clayton dropped. What would have been a first down catch on fourth down play the Boggan turned over. Patriots ran out the clock but on the whole thinking alike what we've seen from this team in the last couple weeks especially you know what I know."
" Think that you know when they won their three Super Bowls they have magical players in the targeted. We create that you know allow those guys are gone. But they're doing their best to do that in the east and they still have guys who make plays at the right time. And who intimidate the opposing team -- still do that I mean Baltimore's got. -- two chances to get one Yardley in the game and they can't do it he would make a big stuff like that they still have players are -- Flickr."
" Yeah I remember one of those intimidating guys now Brandon meriwether who played a great game yesterday tied down in Foxboro hey as an old coach once. You why would you lie and the patriots a three and one."
