Who was "Tito" on the 2003 team?

[Gostkowski for 3]

Does anyone know who "Tito" was on the 2003 team?

At about 5:32-5:33 of this video, America's Game - 2003 New England Patriots (2/3) - YouTube Brady makes a reference to someone named "Tito" about punting. Does anyone know who this is? It doesn't sound like he is saying "Izzo."

Just curiousity getting the best of me.

Maybe he meant Gino ?

After a bit of Google...came up with this..

Tito Nanni, Seattle Mariners (Drafted No. 6..... He booted four field goals in his NFL career (and lasted just four seasons as a punter).

Maybe he is just a really big Jackson 5 fan!

I don't have the clip handy, could he have said "Gino"? Eugene Wilson?

I just listened to it and it sounds more like Tito then Gino but I am not positive he is saying Tito either. Pretty positive he is not saying Gino though.

Tough to really make out anything because the narrator is speaking and that is just background noise. Sounds like he is yelling at someone for walking away from something.
Using the context of what is being discussed at the time by the narrator and Rodney (guest speaker on the show) I think they may have been practicing a pooch punt by Brady and I think and this is just a guess but I think Brady thought the punt could have been downed and the player closest probably stopped and let it roll into the endzone (if this was the case he likely had no chance at downing it because no one seemed to be getting on his effort and IMO Brady was pissed because it wound up a touchback). Just an assumption on my part.

Kind of funny exchange.

Maybe he was talking about Tito Puente. Because one day, Tito Puente will be dead and "I've will say you have been listening to him for years and he is fabulous".

I am pretty sure he is talking to deion branch. The offense was on the field. And branch recently told steve burton on a sit down on those patriot game day things before the game starts on sundays this year that brady has always called him tito.

I got ya. But as I was thinking up a "cracked skull" line, I saw the mystery was solved.

It would be a great night if FG finishes Tito and then does the grave digger bit to close out Tito's career.
