" I welcome back to -- ten point on Tony and asked what it would make a part though the patriots. Defeated -- Baltimore Ravens on Sunday 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 -- and Jerod -- absent Richard Seymour. The offense has not been but still -- 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 beat -- to be you know to be trading up a quarter of this caliber at this time. That was very skeptical of that because you know they had a couple of games who struggled a little bit shocked and then they're definitely defense that bans. We don't break -- certainly the right times. As soon as he did that little thing went off my head and -- 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 -- playing very well Leigh -- would think he's going to be a significant acquisitions it'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 -- they've -- you know when you know. It's amazing how they do it now obviously the patriots kind of break -- candidates -- the ravens were driving. -- 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 -- think -- like what we've seen from the team in the last couple weeks especially you know -- know."
" Think that you know when they won their three Super Bowls they have magical players and it's hard to recreate that you know allow those guys are gone. What 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 that can still do that mean. Baltimore's got no two chances to get one Yardley in the game and they can't do it do they make a big stuff like that they still have players are confused Flickr."
" Yeah I remember one of those intimidating guys now Brandon Meriweather who played a great game yesterday tied down in Foxboro hey it as an old coach once. You why would you lie and the patriots have three and one do you."
