offensively i'm sure his decision would have been different. if you are not doing much as an offense that is the way it goes. >> so you had to feel for matthew later, he looked perplexed to when belichick was telling him to kick the ball if they won the toss, when the ref they told him to, he was just trying to get it right. >> no, i just asked him three or four times just to make sure i'm not the guy yeah, we want to kick off, you know, so i down checked three or four times i think he was looking at me like are you con cussed, kept. >> are you con cussed. >> the team cut running back joey yesterday, made a splash eight days ago when he wracked up 5 is 1 yards and carries against the titans.
