[0:00]" I am WBZ's Walt Perkins along with -- WBZ hall of Famer and voice of the New England Patriots. Gil Santos you know. College teams have quite the turn over every four years and it with few exceptions it's not too much different for pro teams in the patriots certainly are an example that this year effect."
[0:16]" Well -- they have made a lot of changes -- defensively ago Walt specially in the secondary weather. You know brought in charge gradually broaden. Also -- equitably backwards on the injured it was last year opposed to their second round draft -- Patrick Chung. And book that is -- war broke. Aboard an impressive in camp. Social retool the defensive secondary for a very good reason circular reveal its problems last season. But other -- bad you know blew up a little bit more on offense -- Fred Taylor and Chris Baker and Aleks Maric. Variability in that is to work in progress. But -- not work abroad Russian trying to get good work in progress and she just felt public and billion. They couldn't stay relatively injury free I think that can be very very good."
[1:03]" You know it's loose talk -- about the defensive backs because it is pretty much a whole new -- back there. Taking over for word for a squad that really struggled last year."
[1:13]" Yeah well you know world. Rodney Harrison retired. Low moving noon lunch what they're doing -- both James Sanders. I was it'll become a full time starter and back that would broaden our weather will shape -- Move the rookie is -- young -- on the particular divert reporters got sent Williams back there's. Another -- you mention that got a good good depth in the secondary in the -- document. And cornerback position as one literally interestingly Bob. Has been starting on the right side. Terrence Wheatley. Magician will laudable but impression of low all the election other (%expletive) and the players. The difference between a year ago and today -- vocal supporters is very very August they've really know what they're supposed to be doing and that's the key. To a Bill Belichick do you trust. The numbers -- good guys would do can run fast and jump high in global thing about learning. While the defense were to be in and book and how -- play -- particular. Formations all of those things take time especially in the post. Which is -- complicated news or build those. With blue would Dean Pees as a coordinator. Both Google also check in your corner so looking very impressive. They've just got a much better football team. Defensively this year than they have last year would be additional Derrick Burgess making you know very good group even stronger."
[2:35]" You know you mentioned the the experience factor on defense in knowing Belichick's schemes they lost somebody with a great deal of knowledge when they sent Mike -- to Kansas City. But they've gotten younger in the line backing -- and Jerod Mayo. From what I've seen what I've heard he's just having a monster camp."
[2:51]" Well the issue really got emotional -- usually was the defensive rookie of the year in the other well usually these -- on the road to becoming a great great player. -- perfectly in the patriot system very smart so very hardworking kids. Both wore on looked really used joy to watch play in the middle of the question now that I am beginning to wonder about is just how much for 3-D bunch. As opposed solution that is three for the patriots will be playing I. Whether you look very good deepened sublime and that they have when you. Iran relations tried to Vince Wilfork. They've been using the through the most attend the tackles. -- for three deep bunch of fraud and -- could be very disruptive to a lot of teams so little bit of industry other developed during the fourth pre season games."
[3:37]" Let's switch to the other side of the ball because lot of talk of -- in rightfully so on number twelve whose. And only played all seven minutes last year."
[3:47]" Was sure relatively restroom. One with the patriots were able to recover from. Missing the -- also a tiebreaker and finishing with a very -- Lebanon for a record. Going to be covert without Israel in the could be anywhere near that when Brady went down. What Tom looks terrific -- foreign and training camp and you know oil all things being equal peace stays healthy and that's the key to every team that I wasn't a great quarterback you can keep the quarterback -- Then you're going to be successful victory is -- so many. Offensive weapons. But they -- regular on the -- can throw the ball over control of longer controlled the play lunged. There are a lot of things you can do on offense. Which could be have also offensive team. Again all things being equal the injury depart."
[4:32]" What about the priest he's now last year Brady didn't play much or at all and Susan and -- minutes then. Hasn't missed one session and training camp so far this year and I'm sure he's going to see some action in all four games -- what what they really mean for the players."
[4:49]" Well we exhibition games the pre season games are. Really two. You know get your timing down. Begin to play against other people rather than yourself. Your own teammates. And you know -- The -- practices trashed the pace of pre season games is faster and immigration peso regular season games even faster than that. But the police unions are that it didn't I -- and get used to the speed of the game once again. The patriots. On the weather and Bill Belichick won't use Tom Brady and tomorrow night's game -- in the in the game against the Eagles. Remains to be seeing I suspected Brady will probably play machinery or two. You know just to get the -- back. Europe continue to progress a little bit more each game as we go along the I think that is what's going to happen but I kept -- sure because I don't know for sure. But really -- the preceding games are to get timing down and to evaluate your new players thank you rookies and single employee who's gonna make this roster. And you know will be on the 53 man group when the regular -- and -- But in the month of September at home against buffalo on Monday night game."
[6:00]" None of these players really live off their press clippings or what the reader here in the media but. So far everyone has said this is one loaded football team. And injuries of course being equal it should be very good season you've seen a lot of patriots teams your assessment."
[6:17]" I've never seen a patriot stream with a much talent as social. Up and down open bell a lot of offense deep bench. Special James -- just go a lot of football players so. We knew that a guy like -- backfield and he just has looked terrific in training camp quickly XP. You've got Sammy Morris -- below highly efficient back portable over the last couple seasons. Still Lawrence Maroney was actually pretty good job. -- you could be an outstanding kickoff return veterans history and you've been doing a lot of kickoff return work I would not be surprised to see MB. But kickoff return members of those -- in the upper Russia's. They've got Kevin -- great third down back. BenJarvus green Ellis who was traditional structure to surprise your -- so the running back position as well shut. Will -- preserving Randy Moss Wes Welker George Galloway Greg bluish. They're all veteran very good receivers. You've got this really young -- drew -- a woman who was -- seventh round draft pick and had been a quarterback Kent State they're using him as a receiver and punt return men. He could be a good player down the road he may be a Wes Welker in progress kind of vote popular. Guy that they can room. To be that kind of receiver because she plays the same way out of the same. Quick initial look that Welker. Conceive him down the road being a very good wide receiver. -- they've got fired two items that can all play in the National Football League. How many they keep remains to receive most teams over the years have kept three but now I wouldn't change in the wedge blocking rule. The patriots -- what I think. Could well keep four titans can use a couple problem. I was blockers so on kickoff returns they've got to space them out more now rather than be an alleged. But I am sure are more have to -- again and little quicker and faster than lineman. So they might be used I think or utilized in kickoff returns. More -- they have in the past because of the dynamics of blue of the return game have changed. -- necessitate even more. Players who were quicker. And a little faster. To get their bid auction and going to be able to spring a return men. The offensive line news shall return those same five guys who started for the last several seasons. -- good competition therefore backup -- Sebastien Ballmer. A huge ground won their second round picks. Looks like they're the kind of weather could be a swing tackle global charged the left and right but just got a lot of depth. All the positions you know at quarterback and -- Kevin O'Connell behind Brady an article called on the road is going to be terrific player. And and they shot the veteran Andrew Walter who although we believe there's touchdown to interception ratio would Oakland was not good. -- local leaders and so let you know. -- you know when you look at what they have good offensively. Compared to what the patriots you know Walter could be a pretty good backup guard for the which just all lawful all of book football players will help a lot of good players on this team. That all things being equal. I think could very well and opened and Super Bowl 44 in Miami company's board."
[9:31]" Miami's a nice place to be in February --"
[9:33]" Yes a matter of fact you actually. You know you feel -- normal."
[9:37]" have a hint of hey that's great I'm I'm looking forward of the season I know you are too."
[9:42]" Yes it's great to be getting back to work and and power. In -- to be on the new WBZ -- around them. Scrawled letters are habitable shape the future I'm over the years old revenue problem with -- of new -- the -- 95 but I think all of that lends itself to look. Being a good four. Four officers broadcasters in the station and the parishioners should just. -- diminish your number to remember him and -- you know obviously very very much looking forward whether she's in a note Juno was. You know we've -- practices -- all of weeklong course couple weeks and it looks like -- like this -- recorded case."
