Summary

0:52 - Tom Curran breaks down the Patriots cutting kicker Mike Nugent and Bill Belichick's comments on why a lack of cap space limited the Patriots at the trade deadline. 5:22 - All season long the Patriots running game has not been up to its normal standards. Tom asked running backs coach Ivan Fears if the Pats have enough artillery at the position and how he thinks Sony Michel can improve. 8:51 - Matt Cassel joins Tom to talk about the structure of the team following the trade deadline. Will the addition of Mohamed Sanu be good enough for Tom Brady and to overshadow the running game. 18:05 - Tom Brady has reiterated that he wants to play until he's 45, but he does seem more aggravated this season than ever. Matt explains how Brady has his good and bad days like anyone else and that can't be overanalyzed. 24:10 - Is there any scenario in which Brady ends up somewhere else after this season. Matt says there's only one. 29:11 - Tom has been calling the Patriots Week 9 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens the "Patriots season opener" because it's their first "real" opponent. Matt breaks down what he predicts the Patriots will see from the Ravens on both sides of the ball. Tom quickly hits on the addition of kicker Nick Folk.

0:00.0	What is up, everybody?
0:14.7	It's the Patriots Talk podcast on this trade deadline Tuesday.
0:18.5	We will have Matt Castle in, of course, and we will talk all the trade deadline maneuvers.
0:22.6	There weren't that many.
0:23.7	There weren't many at all.
0:24.9	We'll also get Castle on the continuing Brady blather.

1:00.4	The Patriots, nothing at the trade deadline.
1:05.8	They did release Mike Nugent kicker, and they have had their practice squad kicker claimed by the Atlanta Falcons.
1:07.5	So as of this moment, your guess as to who will be doing the kicking is as good
1:12.4	as mine, perhaps better. Could it be Jake Bailey? I mean, in a pinch, he was a place kicker at
1:18.0	Stanford, so that possibility exists. But over the next 24 to 48 to 72 hours, I'm sure that
1:23.8	they will resolve it and somehow that somebody is able to put foot to football Sunday night in Baltimore.
1:30.9	Nugent really kicked his way out of town on Sunday, I think, with that absolute exit velocity, two iron that he sent through for one made field goal.
1:37.8	Then he hooked it into the lumber yard, and he also kicked it off the back of somebody's forehead when it took him seven seconds.
1:44.5	Is there a back of a forehead? I don't believe so. That's the interior of somebody's forehead when it took him seven seconds. Is there a back of a forehead?
