FOXBORO - Just a few quick notes before heading out to catch the first portion of practice at 12:25.

In his press conference, an upbeat and expansive Bill Belichick:

* Went into detail on Mike Wright, the defensive lineman from Cincinnati who made the club with a solid training camp and preseason performance.

* Spoke at length on the Raiders and Al Davis, Randy Moss and defensive lineman Tommy Kelly who gets "most feared defensive player" billing this week.

* Spoke about the release of David Terrell.

Also: Monty Beisel has changed his number from 44 to Ted Johnson's old 52. Apparently it's a league edict that all numbers in the 50s -- if available -- have to be covered by linebackers.

Tom Brady and Deion Branch checked in.

David Givens was ear-to-ear about the performance of Notre Dame and new head coach Charlie Weis last night.

We'll have the practice squad and some practice notes for you later on.
