Summary

1:36 - Tom Curran starts off by asking a simple question: 'What keeps Antonio Brown on this team?' As of now, it's the fact that he's valuable enough on the gridiron, but when will that not be enough? 7:09 - Matt Cassel joins Tom to talk about a variety of topics: Antonio Brown's explosiveness making the Patriots offense look like that of the 2007 team; (14:38) How the offense attacks man vs. zone coverage; (21:41) How to approach Greg Williams' defense next week against the Jets; (27:25) and a pair of Hall of Fame debates. 32:26 - Tom catches up with Kyle Van Noy after his season debut in Miami, talking about the linebacker's newborn son, the dominance of the Patriots defense and how Josh Gordon is getting more comfortable in New England.

0:00.0	Hey, what's up, everybody? It's the Tuesday edition of the Patriots Talk podcast. What's you're going to get in this half hour? You're going to get your Mack Castle. X's andos. You're going to get the best of Kyle Van Noy from the Quickslance interview,
0:21.3	and you're going to get a couple of little minor takes from me off the top. So settle in. Let's have a good time.
0:37.7	A bit of telling me. This time, world champion. And there ain't nothing you can do about it.
0:38.6	Hey!
0:46.7	Are you guys missing that today on the Patriots dot podcast?
0:50.3	Maybe you are.
0:51.5	But maybe you aren't
0:52.5	because I've gotten plenty of feedback both ways and for my
0:56.6	vocal chords and my larynx and my trachea i've been advised to leave it alone okay so no more the
1:04.8	adriots talk podcast okay so for those of you who are going to stick around as a result, I appreciate you. I appreciate you. And I want to hit two things before I bring in Matt Castle, who is outstanding on all non-Antonio Brown off-field issues, talking about the X's and O's and the geometry of the Patriots offense with Antonio
1:28.4	Brown in it. And as I said, you're going to have some Kyle Van Nuoy from the Patriots Hall of Fame
1:33.3	presented by Raytheon later in the show. But I'm going to take this opportunity now to riff on
1:39.2	two different items. First is Antonio Brown and the equation that keeps him on this team. And it's an equation, I think, that Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft and Jonathan Kraft and everybody involved with the team has to continue to work out on a day-to-day basis. Put it better, better metaphor. It's like scales,
2:03.3	like the scales of justice, but Antonio Brown's in the middle. And the scale with just football
2:10.2	on it had a lot of rocks piled on it on Sunday. I mean, they got a lot of chips over there
2:16.0	and all the headaches that are on the
2:18.2	other scale, they kind of got lifted up. You had Antonio Brown looking incredible on the field,
2:24.9	full go, scoring a touchdown, receptions on three receptions on the first drive, being
2:32.0	warmly embraced by his team having a domino effect on the rest of the Patriots offense.
2:36.8	And I also believe that when the Patriots signed Antonio Brown, and they were all in on that,
2:43.7	they understood everything about him.
2:45.2	They understood the disorganized life he leads.
