If you never got to watch Teddy play, you can get a sense of why he is an all time great aroind the 5:40 mark when Jules asks Teddy if he thinks he could be a veteran presence in todays lockerrooms. Being able to adapt and understand the way things are going is what separates all time greats from the good players.
This is the only show I’ve ever utilized the term “ criminally underrated “ for It’s so over used that I try not to use it myself But in this case …. It’s an understatement to say this show is underrated .
I didn't know who Sam Morril was; he looks like Joe Flacco's little brother(!) Aside from that little tangent, this was a comprehensive pairing of two sides of the PATS' Dynasties. I remember Belichick saying that if you looked up "football player" in the dictionary, Tedi Bruschi's picture would be there! 😁 NICE ONE!
Absolutely adore Teddy! Some of my favorite games where the earlier Patriots.. 2001- onward. I was so bummed when Teddy retired. Definitely have his jersey. Yes Julez yours too. 😊
Man...that catch that Jules made TRUMPED ALL "circus catches", including the "helmet catch" 😖 and the "Kearse catch". Further, it was against THREE defenders! And it looked like no more than an inch above the ground(!) If that wasn't BADASS...I don't know what WAS(!) So...yeah, you're right!
Oh, I’ll most definitely watch all of these Dope eps every time they drop This show has made Me a BiGGER Supporter of Julez than His playing Days Getting to See how Dope He really is as a Real Dude It even makes Me appreciate His play more Julez Rules Dope MuFu Ready for Season 3 My G’z Salute My Brotha’s 🙏
That all ended yesterday when Bill Belichek stepped down as HC of the NEP. I was 40 years old in 2000, and for 20 years I got to watch the “Dynastic” Patriots do their thing and it was awesome. 😎
The Teds were the reason I ultimately stopped watching football, in conjunction with the revelation that the NFL had buried multiple CTE studies, and new without question, that guys were being dealt serious, unrepairable damage whenever they strapped up, and toughed it out. Johnson coming forward with his struggles, Bruschi nearly dying and the league just...letting him come back? I decided I didnt want to have any new favorite football players, bc all the guys I watched triumph, and who built all those memories for me, traded a bunch of the years off the back of their lives to do it - without knowing the cost they were paying. But getting to listen to Bruschi spin tales, here, was really special. An unbelievable player, and a sparkling commentator. Glad he's still with us, and still sharp.
If I had to make a list of my all time favorite Patriots Teddy would be tied with Troy Brown at the #2 spot behind Tom. The reason for the tie is that Bruschi was one of the most brutal players I remember watching while Troy Brown was the most dependable dude ever. Played both ways for multiple games, was a badass on special teams and always seemed to make the big catch.
With all due respect to Bruschi, Ted Johnson and R.Harrison were more brutal...Johnson hit ball carriers FBs and offensive lineman so hard he had to retire due to warning signs of early dimentia...He ran thru his opponents head1st without slowing down and bracing for impact...Manhandled J.Bettis many times, had the size and strength to not give ground against Bettis when collisions between them occured...Steeler fans love to complain about spygate but it was advantages like that1 that made the difference...The vast majority of our LBs and DLs were all insanely stout...McGinest, Phifer Seymour Ty Warren Johnson and Vrabel...they were all around 250-300lbs...might not have been fast but they could stand anyone upfront up and get the job done when 2gapping...Bruschi was the only relatively smaller framed body among them... No1 ever really bothers to say it because he lived, returned to the field and got CPOY and is still doing OK all these yrs later, but what happened to him as a player was tragic...After spending the latter half of the 90s fighting just to secure and retain a starting spot on the roster Bruschi had reached his prime, had been performing at a HOF level for 2 maybe even 4 seasons in a row...Altho he won the CPOY award he was NEVER the same all-pro caliber player hed been before the stroke...He didnt make great plays anymore...Instead he was a part of plays he will continue to wish he could do over again for the rest of his life, not only in regards to the B.Jacobs 4th and 1 he referenced during this interview but also regarding the 2006AFCCG when he froze up and failed to snatch that fumbled football that had squirted straight up into the air out of Reggie Waynes hands right in front of Bruschi...2001-2004 he was an absolutely outstanding playmaker with an uncanny nose for the ball and sometimes the endzone after it....Was hard/despressing watching a reduced version of him after the stroke...same with Rodney Harrison in 2007 who was a shell of himself by that point in time...They werent outright incompetent liabilities but they were no longer exceptional players who popped off the screen...Pats woulda finished 19-0 in 07 if either 1 of them had still been in their prime...their defense was a bit of a paper tiger that yr...seymour was not in his prime anymore neither was Bruschi Harrison or Seau once Colvin was lost to injury and Vrabel hurt his shoulder they no longer could get to the QB anwhere near as frequently and needed their offense to score as often as possible to at least tilt the field for them...
Teddy would spy out what the opponent was doing and he just jet from one side line to the next and tackle the running back for no gain or lost that was pure instinct and understanding how to make opponents think they got something and it’s like he playing tennis get to the ball quick change direction tackle
I’m a life long pats fan and I was watching a pre season game I forget who they were playing. One of the commentators was Gerry Glandville and Teddy was a rookie and made a great special teams tackle and Gerry yelling Teddy Give Me a Brewski lol I would have to look up what year but might be able to find that on n yt
26:07 Teddy saying “damn, I know!” Sounds identical to Brady. Voice and delivery are identical. I picture Brady smiling and saying that c close your eyes and think of that and I guarantee you will too!!!
I think every rookie just fails the test - Teddy was supposed to challenge Cotes and stab even harder the next time - daring him to break his arm - we know he truly couldn't he'd be ejected from the team - so you say "yes sir I understand" and then on the next go you stab even harder. That's the rookie attitude they are trying to sniff out.
Talk about a Patriot show....two overlapping generations of why I adored my team beyond winning. PS for all those saying how great he is in the comments (all true), would ya please learn to spell his name TEDY!!!!
After that Super Bowl loss to the giants the undefeated season. I couldn’t listen to sports radio for like two weeks cause all they did was hate on the pats like they could of done better disgusting
I am a weird person. My favorites players from those great Patriot teams are in order: 1. Troy Brown, 2. Kevin Faulk, 3. Willie McGinest, 4. Tom Brady, 5. Tedy Bruschi.
If Belichick hadnt overworked the Oline, the Patriots win that game. Im not a Pats fan, so no fanboy comment here. I have it from players and agents and Tom Curran has mentioned this. Bill worked the O line so hard they werent fresh for the game.
He’s 83-101 without Brady. Absolutely terrible. He’s not good. Only coach in history to hold multiple teams to 10 pts and still lose in ONE season. He needs to go.
This is the interview. Too much talk about the 2nd phase of the dynasty. It takes away from the D's and BB's greatness. Brady vs BB discussions are BS. People don't know their history but are more than willing to snap judgments on fragments of the run.
SB42 was the most painful experience a sportsfan can go thru without someone dying, and that loss is what kept Brady playing until he was 45...Bruschis remarks about contemplating whether hed trade all 3 rings for that1 speaks to me...They may not have admitted it cuz no1 should ever need an extra reason to want to go 19-0, but spygate and the way the media opposing players and NFL fans reacted to it was an enormous motivating factor...Players like Bruschi Brady Vrabel K.Faulk Seymour were desperate to prove to the world that none of that spying stuff Bill had done had made a difference that they were as good or even better without it, and I cant help but feel as tho when they finally won the AFCCG with 0 losses on their record, they let off the gas because they had pretty much fully proven that point just by getting to the SB with an undefeated record...I remember feeling that way myself as they celebrated after defeating the Chargers-I felt as tho theyd already completed by far the hardest part of that task at hand, that they just had to go out there be what theyve been and theyd finish the job...They came out flat in that SB...The coaching let them down, the offensive line let them down and the stone hands of about 5 or 6 different patriots defensive players also let them down in SB42...As a fan I wouldnt trade 3Lombardis for that1 but id likely trade 2of em to have seen them finish that SB undefeated instead... Love Bruschi and Edelman...Doubt either get into the pro football HOF but for 4 or so yrs both of therm absolutely performed at a HOF level...
Brady easily made yall what you were. Without him you don’t get any rings. Belicheck has done absolutely nothing without Brady. He is not the greatest coach of all time. I used to think he made Brady but after Brady left and won a chip w the Bucs and Belicheck absolutely failed season after season… I realized he was nothing without the Goat. Go check his record without Brady.
12:50 Cute little run... Giants played better opponents the entire playoffs. Patriots don't make it out of the NFC if they had to play the Giant's playoff opponents.
If you never got to watch Teddy play, you can get a sense of why he is an all time great aroind the 5:40 mark when Jules asks Teddy if he thinks he could be a veteran presence in todays lockerrooms. Being able to adapt and understand the way things are going is what separates all time greats from the good players.
The end where teddy says he's not plugging anything and is just there for his guy... mad respect on that, shows what kind-of a dude he is.
This is the only show I’ve ever utilized the term
“ criminally underrated “ for
It’s so over used that I try not to use it myself
But in this case ….
It’s an understatement to say this show is underrated .
You're not wrong in any way.
Youz guys gave me some of my happiest moments. Thank you for playing all out!
Met teddy after the first superbowl win in Tucson at precision Toyota. Watched him and gronk at Arizona. Two of the all time great patriots imo.
I didn't know who Sam Morril was; he looks like Joe Flacco's little brother(!) Aside from that little tangent, this was a comprehensive pairing of two sides of the PATS' Dynasties. I remember Belichick saying that if you looked up "football player" in the dictionary, Tedi Bruschi's picture would be there! 😁 NICE ONE!
Two of my favorite players on one podcast!
This was a great conversation!!
what a privilege to have been a Pats fan from '01 --> '19
Memories that will last a lifetime
This was a great one! Thank you.
Teddy is the man.
Gr8 interview.
Thank you!
Great show guys. NE Forever!!! Go pats!!!
Thank you for bringing this guy on what an amazing pro I knew him by his name on a jersey amazing interview .
Absolutely adore Teddy! Some of my favorite games where the earlier Patriots.. 2001- onward.
I was so bummed when Teddy retired. Definitely have his jersey. Yes Julez yours too. 😊
Two beloved New England players and NFL LEGENDS
this was great!
I miss them😢
If Jules in his prime was on 07 instead of welker. We go undefeated. If we had welker instead of Edelman vs the falcons we do not make the comeback.
Man...that catch that Jules made TRUMPED ALL "circus catches", including the "helmet catch" 😖 and the "Kearse catch". Further, it was against THREE defenders! And it looked like no more than an inch above the ground(!) If that wasn't BADASS...I don't know what WAS(!) So...yeah, you're right!
2 🐐’s FOREVER PATRIOTS 💯
Bro I don’t even watch football like that. This show is criminally underrated
Oh, I’ll most definitely watch all of these Dope eps every time they drop
This show has made Me a BiGGER Supporter of Julez than His playing Days
Getting to See how Dope He really is as a Real Dude
It even makes Me appreciate His play more
Julez Rules Dope MuFu
Ready for Season 3 My G’z
Salute My Brotha’s 🙏
Thanks for the love! Really appreciate you listening!
Jules you need to have Vrabel on!!!
GOOD idea...! 🙂
That all ended yesterday when Bill Belichek stepped down as HC of the NEP. I was 40 years old in 2000, and for 20 years I got to watch the “Dynastic” Patriots do their thing and it was awesome. 😎
Yeah! A GREAT run... !
Love how he calls out the Samuel drop.
Tedy watching him growing up is why I became a patriots fan
Watching teddy, at Arizona with the desert swarm defense. Was awesome to watch

Teddy’s kicking ass at Arizona for Jed Fish(sp?) as a senior advisor, wicked smart hire for your culture
Bro this episode is great that randy bit has me 😂😂😂 wish we won that one though
The Pats need to bring Teddy back to the team to help with the D!!!
...as a coach, OR player(?!)
If I had to make a list of my all time favorite Patriots Teddy would be tied with Troy Brown at the #2 spot behind Tom.

Kevin Turner outweighs 'em all
Epic podcast

Tedy!!! My favorite of all time
World class, T.Bruschi
Im glad you guys got rid of the other interview guy. He was unnecessary
Jules = FINE AF 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉
I’ll never forget that Arizona desert swarm. Was an undergrad at Stanford and they kicked our asses
What a kick ass dynasty man.
Dope af 🤘
The patriot way baby you just gotta believe
i hope ur not a grown man typing this into the void
@@luisrusso9484I hope you're not a grown man writing ur like a 12 year old girl.
More like the tom brady. Can't win without him.
@@KUT-N-GO Bill had 2 rings as D.C. with the Giants. He has 8, Brady has 7.
That's what I said bill got the rings as a head coach because of tom brady. He probably won't get another.
Bruschi with a little extra mustard on that "catch it" wonder if that was with regards to Asante
26:07
Teddy saying “damn, I know!” Sounds identical to Brady. Voice and delivery are identical. I picture Brady smiling and saying that c close your eyes and think of that and I guarantee you will too!!!
Also rocking the sickest neck pad
U R one of the best has ever been. Everytime I see a new middle linebacker; I can't help it: He is NO Teddy Bruschi
All these videos should have 10x more views. Even Burger Time was kinda good in its way at the time.
I think every rookie just fails the test - Teddy was supposed to challenge Cotes and stab even harder the next time - daring him to break his arm - we know he truly couldn't he'd be ejected from the team - so you say "yes sir I understand" and then on the next go you stab even harder.

Lawyer Milloy was built like a superhero in high school. HUSKIES 💜💛 HOF Law-DAWG
Junior Seau....If I could have a talk with Tom; it would be all the great players u had relation. TOM IS CHAMPION
BRING HIM BACK!!! 30 MINS IS NOT LONG ENOUGH 🫡
One of my favorite pats players of all time, grew up watching teddy. Was working the probowl and he turned me down when I asked for an autograph😔
Teddy is not a friendly person! He was a great football player though .
“Respect should be given”
*threatens to break your arm for doing your job*
Glad that way of thinking is going out the door.
All of our older brother hahah
Talk about a Patriot show....two overlapping generations of why I adored my team beyond winning. PS for all those saying how great he is in the comments (all true), would ya please learn to spell his name TEDY!!!!
Patriots 04 was a wagon.. Greatest Defense .. They were Awesome!
Teddy is a class act. How many men had a damn stroke and came back and was productive?
After that Super Bowl loss to the giants the undefeated season. I couldn’t listen to sports radio for like two weeks cause all they did was hate on the pats like they could of done better disgusting
I am a weird person. My favorites players from those great Patriot teams are in order: 1. Troy Brown, 2. Kevin Faulk, 3. Willie McGinest, 4. Tom Brady, 5. Tedy Bruschi.
I love how the older guy is telling the younger guy that the modern athletes aren't entitled they just aren't willing to be treated like shit 24/7
Foxboro or foxborough
Rt128 or 95
Either way ....I wish the Patriots could cover spreads these days .
This guy was half of what 55 was
NE lengends
Bruschi is like a brewski...prepare ur gut....young buck. Teddy Bruschi is one of the the greatest defensive player ever. HE WAS...SOMETHING
If Belichick hadnt overworked the Oline, the Patriots win that game. Im not a Pats fan, so no fanboy comment here. I have it from players and agents and Tom Curran has mentioned this. Bill worked the O line so hard they werent fresh for the game.
True patriot
Another member of the Patriots modeling agency
Awww Yeahhh.
What hurt more is that they made the giants get them twice
Wanna hear about when the old creepy 72 Dolphins players/Shula start showing up on the sidelines…in 07
He’s 83-101 without Brady. Absolutely terrible. He’s not good. Only coach in history to hold multiple teams to 10 pts and still lose in ONE season. He needs to go.

Patriots 6 rings.
SB42 was the most painful experience a sportsfan can go thru without someone dying, and that loss is what kept Brady playing until he was 45...Bruschis remarks about contemplating whether hed trade all 3 rings for that1 speaks to me...They may not have admitted it cuz no1 should ever need an extra reason to want to go 19-0, but spygate and the way the media opposing players and NFL fans reacted to it was an enormous motivating factor...Players like Bruschi Brady Vrabel K.Faulk Seymour were desperate to prove to the world that none of that spying stuff Bill had done had made a difference that they were as good or even better without it, and I cant help but feel as tho when they finally won the AFCCG with 0 losses on their record, they let off the gas because they had pretty much fully proven that point just by getting to the SB with an undefeated record...I remember feeling that way myself as they celebrated after defeating the Chargers-I felt as tho theyd already completed by far the hardest part of that task at hand, that they just had to go out there be what theyve been and theyd finish the job...They came out flat in that SB...The coaching let them down, the offensive line let them down and the stone hands of about 5 or 6 different patriots defensive players also let them down in SB42...As a fan I wouldnt trade 3Lombardis for that1 but id likely trade 2of em to have seen them finish that SB undefeated instead...
Love Bruschi and Edelman...Doubt either get into the pro football HOF but for 4 or so yrs both of therm absolutely performed at a HOF level...
2 true patriot way guys
Gotta say i don't love the Eli shit Sam
Have to agree with this. It's so cringeworthy. Typical new York sports fan. No class. Imagine if Julian was wearing his SB winning tops.
The Fake NFL...😂😂😂😂 It cracks me up folks dont realize its WWE with a ball. The NFL admitted it
Brady easily made yall what you were. Without him you don’t get any rings. Belicheck has done absolutely nothing without Brady. He is not the greatest coach of all time. I used to think he made Brady but after Brady left and won a chip w the Bucs and Belicheck absolutely failed season after season… I realized he was nothing without the Goat.
