| 0:23.5 | Welcome into another great debate as we try and determine who the top 50 patriots under Bill Belichick are. |
| 0:30.6 | There was a time when I looked at Troy Brown and said, nobody ever better wear the number 80 again for this team. |
| 0:39.0 | Because watching him day out and day in, year out and year in, you got an appreciation for just |
