00:00With the line drive kick, that is picked up by Ben Kelly, not yet by Ben Kelly, and Kelly struggles up to the 14, maybe the 15 yard line.
00:11Wet football, wet grass, and there is the second year man out of Michigan, Tom Brady, 3-1 at home, 5-3 as a starter.
00:22His offensive line has Grant Williams, Mike Compton, Damian Woody, Joe Andrewsie, and Greg Robinson-Randall.
00:28Mark Edwards is the fullback, Antoine Smith has 610 yards rushing, the key man is Troy Brown, the wide receiver, 63 catches.
00:37Rod Rutledge the tight end, David Pat the other wide receiver.
00:41From the 14, Rutledge in motion.
00:46Antoine Scott, it's up to about the 19 yard line, Kevin Mathis with the stop, he's a great run support cornerback.
00:55Up front for New Orleans, Joe Johnson, Leroy Glover, Norman Hand, Darren Howard, they did not have a sack in last week's game against Indianapolis.
01:04Darren Smith, Charlie Clemens leads with eight sacks, Keith Mitchell, the linebackers, and an outstanding secondary.
01:11Mathis and Thomas, the corners, Bellamy and Sammy Knight, the safeties, and Sammy Knight has been everywhere.
01:16Two tight ends, Antoine Smith gets across the 20, up to the 22 yard line.
01:22Jay Bellamy with the tackle.
01:26Well, you talk about, you just talked about Sammy Knight being all over the place, Sam, and that's exactly what he was.
01:32He just stepped up there on the fill from the strong safety position and closed in there.
01:36And that's, he is always around the ball.
01:38We just talked about him at the top of the show.
01:40Sammy Knight is everywhere.
01:42Fred Weary, number 24, has come in for Kevin Mathis.
01:52On third down out of the shotgun.
01:55Brady gets plenty of time.
01:57Throws and it's caught by Troy Brown.
01:59Up across the 40.
02:01Brought down by Fred Thomas, a pickup of 18 on the play.
02:08New Orleans says he's the guy that they must stop.
02:11Well, everybody says that Troy Brown's the guy they have to stop.
02:14Nobody can seem to stop him.
02:16Not overly fast, not overly big, but a lot of desire.
02:21He was locked down that time with Freddie Thomas.
02:24Thomas, 22, had him covered throughout the field.
02:26And then Troy Brown found some separation and Brady found him.
02:31Brady swings it out for Mark Edwards.
02:34The fullback slits a tackle across midfield.
02:37Out of bounds at the New Orleans 44-yard line.
02:41That's a good effort by the fullback.
02:43Mark Edwards picked up 16.
02:46Well, that's something that Mark Edwards likes to do.
02:48And that's something that New England may have to rely on today.
02:52A guy that can get the ball in their hands and just let them bolt people over.
02:56Because that's what he excels at.
02:57He was looking up the defenders.
02:59You know how they say guys will look you up?
03:02You see Mark Edwards?
03:03He was looking for defenders to run over.
03:06Two tight ends in for New England.
03:09Charles Johnson also in.
03:11Troy Brown has gone to the sideline.
03:12On first down, it's Antoine Smith.
03:15Try to cut back.
03:16It's down to the 41-yard line.
03:18Fred Thomas made the tackle.
03:21Kevin Mathis has gone to the sideline with a shoulder problem for New Orleans.
03:25Take a look.
03:27Really, do you know what New England's become?
03:29Is they've become a power run team.
03:31You never think of them like that.
03:33You've never thought of them like that in the past with Drew Bledsoe and the aerial assault that they had in New England here at Foxborough.
03:40They've become a ground team.
03:42And that's the guy that's leading them.
03:44He gets the whole offense going.
03:46Brown is back in along with David Peck.
03:49Brady rolling.
03:51Swings it back the other way to Antoine Smith.
03:53Has a couple of blockers.
03:54Inside the 30.
03:56Down to the 20.
03:57And he goes all the way.
03:59Touchdown.
04:0741-yard screen pass to Antoine Smith.
04:12Patriots score first.
04:14The ninth time in 11 games, they've scored first.
04:17That was some play and it got the crowd going.
04:35Outstanding opening drive for the Patriots.
04:37Adam Vinatieri for the extra point.
04:40Ken Walter, the holder.
04:43And the Patriots take the opening kickoff.
04:45And march from their own 14-yard line and cap it off with a 41-yard screen pass to Antoine Smith.
04:57He gets the escort and he takes it all the way.
05:03Fox NFL Sunday.
05:06Brought to you by Southwest Airlines.
05:08Proud sponsor of the NFL.
05:09An official airline of Super Bowl XXX.
05:11Antoine Smith taking it in.
05:1741 yards.
05:19Capping off an 85-yard drive.
05:21In which Tom Brady was three for three.
05:25Two swing passes out of that.
05:29And I'm Vinatieri kicking off.
05:32Deuce McAllister steps up at the 11-yard line.
05:34McAllister at a 63-yard return last week.
05:39Goes up the sideline.
05:41And it's out of bounds near midfield.
05:44Otis Smith took him out.
05:46Saints go on offense with excellent field position.
05:50Last week to start the game, the Saints fell behind Indianapolis off the first play from scrimmage.
06:017-0.
06:02Then they went down 14-0 and came back.
06:04This is not uncommon for the Saints and Jim Haslett.
06:08After a 43-yard kickoff return, Saints from their own 48.
06:13With McAllister and Ricky Williams in the backfield, Aaron Brooks under pressure, throws incomplete.
06:20Intended for the tight end, Boo Williams.
06:22And there's a flag in the secondary of the Patriots.
06:27Terrence Shaw was covering on the play.
06:29Maybe called for pass interference.
06:35Jerry Austin is our referee.
06:37Pass interference.
06:3922 defense.
06:40Automatic first down.
06:43Terrence Shaw.
06:49You're going to watch.
06:49He comes over the top.
06:52It must have held him before that because he didn't look like he had any interference with him there.
06:57The back judge threw that.
07:00Ricky Williams on first down.
07:03Gets a short game.
07:06A lot of stuff going on here first.
07:09Phantom interfacing interference calls as far as I'm concerned right there.
07:12They're phantom.
07:13But let's go back to the touchdown.
07:15One thing you want to do when you have an aggressive defense is get them going.
07:18Brady on the bootleg right here gets everybody coming this way.
07:22Watch everybody flowing.
07:23They're all this way.
07:25Then he throws the screen.
07:26And look at this side of the field.
07:27All green.
07:29Get an aggressive, fast defense going one way and then counter him.
07:33On second at eight, it's Ricky Williams.
07:36And only got about a yard.
07:40Brandon Mitchell making the tackle for the Patriots.
07:43Aaron Brooks had an outstanding game last week.
07:47And over the last two weeks, he's completed 69.5% of his passes.
07:51Darryl Terrell starts for Willie Rolfe.
07:54And Rolfe may undergo knee surgery this week.
07:58A veteran offensive line in the backfield.
08:00We'll see a lot of Deuce McAllister with Ricky Williams.
08:03Lamont Hall is the blocking tight end.
08:05Eddie Boo Williams is the pass receiving tight end.
08:09Three wide receivers as Albert Connell is on the field.
08:12Number 83.
08:14On third down.
08:15Brooks gets time.
08:16Nobody open.
08:17Now he's running for it.
08:20And is out of bounds at the 30-yard line.
08:25He's short of the first down by a couple of yards.
08:28Out of bounds at the 30-yard line.
08:35Let's check the defensive alignment for the Patriots.
08:37Play a 3-4.
08:38They'll show a lot of 4-3 because Ted Johnson is out.
08:41Ted Bruschi is the man in the middle.
08:43Willie McGinnis will sometimes move up as a defensive end
08:47and provide pass rush.
08:48Law and Smith, the corners.
08:50Laurie Malloy and Kabaki Jones are the safeties.
08:53This will be a 48-yard attempt for John Carney,
08:57who's 23 for 24 this season.
09:00And the kick is on the way.
09:01And it is no good.
09:03Wide to the right.
09:06His only other miss had been at home against Atlanta.
09:11A kick that was blocked.
09:12He had made his last 12.
09:15This one slides off to the right and is just wide.
09:22Look at Troy Brown has become the key receiver.
09:27The man on offense for the Patriots.
09:29That's the guy they've got to stop
09:31if they want to stop the rest of this offense.
09:34Patrick Cass is split out to the left.
09:39Brady on first down throwing short to David Patton.
09:43And Patton gets up close to the first down marker.
09:47Joe Johnson, the defensive end, chased him down.
09:50Joe Johnson.
09:51Good start for Tom Brady.
09:55Well, look at the...
09:56Tom Brady looking right across the field.
10:01That was David Patton on a crossing route.
10:04And what happened was...
10:05He came right behind the linebacker, Charlie Clemens.
10:08He was running on Charlie Clemens
10:09and had a sidestep Charlie Clemens.
10:11The second down straight ahead.
10:16Antoine, again, making Mark Edwards, the fullback,
10:19carrying for the first down up to midfield.
10:24The forecast for intermittent showers
10:27and the rain has stopped here in Foxborough.
10:29It's still a pretty good breeze.
10:31How do you think it'll affect the New Orleans Saints
10:33during the course of the game, Bill?
10:36Well, I think you're going to see a lot more ground stuff
10:38because I think they're going to have some problems
10:40throwing the ball.
10:41But this is New England's weather.
10:42This is...
10:42They're used to this stuff.
10:44The home field advantage, if you will.
10:46Edwards in motion.
10:48Brady gets time and completes to Troy Brown.
10:52Mixed up about seven on the play.
10:54Brady is five for five to start the game.
10:58And he's really into it, Bill.
10:59I mean, he's playing with a lot of confidence.
11:01Well, you know what they're doing.
11:02They're giving him confidence
11:03with the crossing routes, with the short routes.
11:06This is a lot different offense for Brady
11:08than it was what they did with Bledsoe.
11:11In Bledsoe, there was a lot more vertical attack.
11:13You show all the crossing and underneath stuff
11:15and the screens and the swing passes to Brady,
11:18and that's what gets his confidence going.
11:20That score, Miami coming back to tie Buffalo
11:22late in that game.
11:23That's the game that interests New England fans.
11:25And he's six and three starting play today.
11:29That pass is incomplete.
11:31And fans wanted a flag.
11:35Keith Bitchell covering Rod Rutledge on the play.
11:38Rutledge with a couple of receptions last week.
11:41They don't get the tight end of the ball very much in this offense.
11:46They don't get it to Wiggins.
11:47And only down in the red zone or goal line
11:50do they get it to Wiggins.
11:52And Rutledge, their starting tight end,
11:53they don't work that part of the field.
11:56Normally, they look at their primary receivers
11:58and they go to the check down with the backs.
12:00Third and about three for the Patriots.
12:05They'll work out of the shotgun.
12:06And Mike Compton, the left guard,
12:08moves over to center in the shotgun.
12:10It's the craziest thing I've ever seen in the NFL.
12:13Blitz coming.
12:14Brady looking, rolling away from it.
12:17Holds on the ball, and the Saints have him at the 45.
12:20Keith Mitchell and Jay Bellamy
12:23tackling Tom Brady for a loss.
12:27First sack of the game for the Saints.
12:31And the Patriots are forced to punt.
12:33You talked about that.
12:34Damian Woody is normal center.
12:37And Compton is the left guard.
12:38But when they go shotgun, they switch.
12:41And Compton becomes the center because he can deep snap.
12:45Ken Walter will punt.
12:46There's Mike Compton going off.
12:52Wayne McGarrity is deep for New Orleans.
12:57And Compton perhaps hoping to draw the Saints offside.
13:01Walter.
13:02High kick.
13:03It's short.
13:04McGarrity waits for a fair catch.
13:05Had trouble with a win.
13:07And the Patriots are all around the ball.
13:09It's a two-yard line.
13:13McGarrity wanted to catch that ball up and around the 12.
13:16He had trouble with a win.
13:19And it wound up going over his head
13:21and bouncing inside the five.
13:22And the Patriots were right there.
13:27Fox NFL Sunday is brought to you by Bud Light.

13:45Starting play today, Ricky Williams leading the NFC
13:50in rushing, third in the NFL.
13:53He's carried only twice,
13:54but here, deep in their own territory,
13:56the Saints start from their own three-yard line.
14:00You know, Ricky was a little bit worried
14:01coming into this game
14:02because it was the 10th game last year
14:04that he got injured.
14:12Off the play fake, Brooks to put it up deep.
14:15Way down for Joe Horn, and...
14:17There's a flag.
14:18Flag on the play.
14:19Horn comes up with a football.
14:21What a catch by Joe Horn.
14:23As he went against Ty Law,
14:26Joe Horn with a fabulous play.
14:2951-yard reception.
14:32I can't believe he came up with the ball.
14:33How about that call from their own three?
14:35Well, it was a little play action.
14:3824 defense, only a decline.
14:41Result of the play, first down.
14:43There was a little play action inside.
14:45Now he got one-on-one.
14:47And Joe Horn just on the nine-rap go.
14:49Now the ball's a little bit under thrown,
14:51so Law comes over top of him.
14:53But look at the concentration and effort by Joe Horn.
14:57Straight ahead.
14:58Ricky Williams inside the 40.
15:03Hard run.
15:04Ricky Williams has really got his game together.
15:08You know, the one thing about it is his size.
15:10Everyone says he looks bigger.
15:12Well, he is big.
15:13He's about 10 pounds bigger.
15:14I was talking to the strength coach
15:16for New Orleans Saints, Brock Gillickson,
15:18and he says he's 10 pounds heavier
15:21than he was this time last year.
