kickoff coverage is continuing in the head out to do in the territory d_n_a_
of the boston herald and boston herald dot com so let's talk about your
patriots day one thirteen and three
last year a prolific offenses long is it going to have bill bella check
and tom brady around there are a lot of headlines outside of the star
quarterback
let's start with wide receiver first wes welker he uh... at least from what i've
seen as the patriots and buccaneers have a joint practice that we've they've had
to wear them
he did not participate today can you give us the latest on his injury
well of course at the patriot don't you live
akka tell you right shot him haggard he recognized crackers
he worked there were no throwing extreme to be moving okay
ac
i don't think it's a at uh... significant huge injury i mean he was
out in the field
and you can walk around with their name and try it big it probably in my view
saying that their nursing
i left you the newcomers branded
oily
dante stalwarts we can even talk about the tight ends even more tight ends for
bill dollar check with jake ballard on the sock a shake us start with a wide
receivers though how they look nice armed camp
well ait you know uh... predatory characters
think that if people the most it right about that because again
at what the ***
what people act
except for departure randy masses
uh... present turnout site threat and like you wouldn't call lori that real
feedburner
cucumber the uh... that
you know will go up and get the ball the sideline he's easily
we seem to make these incredible at poetic
an acrobatic catchers
uh...
it can be brady a little bit get use to him and the fact that
hip brady creek havoc
season pass syrian in brady
you know how he had to do is kind of throw the ball out that this guy will go
get it the never really
uh... reversing or
but the possible exception randy marx
uh...
but that but the true as connected cream pretty much right away out like let say
last
with him in shadow to speak of never checked johnson
and for some of the other new receivers dot please stalwart depart gap the at
captain kirk right now
but uh... he had a terrific camp prior to getting hurt uh... indian brady have
this great chemistry
uh... with a e they just click the basics of twenty seven five billion
their last two seasons combined but something that has been puzzling to even
a lot of patriots fans an n_f_l_ fans is their defense
now their role in defense was not that they were middle the pact last year
but last season their past the fed's two hundred and thirty-nine yards per game
that rain for thirty-first second worst in the league a passing yards per
attempt
how they possibly improved on dinner past defense
well actor
it's it not by going out getting the cornerback recruit dan approach it that
way
uh...
wetpaint actually
did was uh... try to help
uh... by with their pass rush i've been went out there they drafted uh...
tractor trailer children
syracuse they actually moved up in the trade never moved up
at the ballot ecology the move down from where it is but the actually moved up
uh... to the twenty first
spot kit shamik jones
uh... who some people were actually character cases here probably you know
we'll see if it does jumping the gun a little bit
but yet that same kind of body frame along i was a long body
uh... creek up the uh...
but they're gonna try count on g_m_ uh... fruit friction pass rush
uh... they also attracted dot p hightower the linebacker who picked me
up a lot of back positions
uh... date
even in everything from free agents
uh... kusum watch the pastor they drafted take beckett he also had some
birth stuff ph
you know a lot of their problems website
quarterback said at half an hour bacteria pro football hall of and i
don't care who you are in the secondary if the quarterback has all the time in
the world there's only so much you can do the to defend
last season mark the third time in five seasons that the patriots offense
went over five hundred points
they also signed olympic sprinter jeff dance who was a silver medalist at the
london games
how was he looked the spark camp
well wait we've only
tina mak couple days uh... anti sheet
you know he's not quite yet football shape
defense sprinter shape and uh... you know he took away dot
uh...
to be able to karan that
or after
and there's no question that gang is is blazing fast
and i think the biggest thing they're looking for him to improve its gonna
kick return game which was
methodically awful
uh... i think there are rank like twenty ninth in the league and
and then we can say what you have a great offense what you need to know
position for but when you've got ballot check
field position if it is
silky incident so vital if he can get himself uh... into shape to and he's
also provides
one more weapons for brady in the off chance because he can catch the ball out
of the backfield and you know they can do a variety with things with him with
screen passes and so on and so forth
they're not last question for you
to the patriots are obviously one of the best teams in the league
sportsbook in vegas has certainly taken advantage of it there over under for the
patriots this season is twelve games what do you say to that
well
and if you look at it as a work in and look at because they're going up again
they've been sequestration uh... attitude that striated isn't it
trying at the end of city and
uh... the patriot place uh... basically reloaded if you want to say that he
didn't loose that many people
it just and on and anyone he set
on almost won the
purple
uh...
after like their chances again especially n and a_f_d_c_ there really
doesn't have that anywhere powerhouse teams are teams that
uh...
acker
legitimate trek through the patriot
in their sixteen games scheduled to be truthful
lee face three teams that were over five hundred from last season granted they're
playing a new and improved
denver broncos with paid manning at quarterback again just three teams over
five hundred from the previous season
curiae in of the boston herald thank you very very much for the time and we'll
talk to you soon
thanks a lot
