They get back on the winning 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:13.119 side here. 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:18.040 Yeah, but unfortunately, uh the Patriots and look who have 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:23.599 won eight straight, playing really really well under Mike Brabel, 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:25.680 and it's gonna be a tough one. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.880 And here to discuss whether us. He's a senior reporter 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.800 from Patriots dot Com. Also hosts the Patriots Catch twenty 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:36.480 two at Patriots dot Com. Evan Lazarre, Welcome to the program. 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.519 How you guys doing good? 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.360 So things are humming right along in New England? And 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.440 is it Brabel? It seems like that fever's taken hold 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:48.840 up there? 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.160 Yeah, absolutely, he's He's done a fantastic job. And you 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.880 just see a great mix of you know, football acumen 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.960 and extus and O's with alpha leadership style that he 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.600 had as a player come to fruition. And he's got 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.119 a great staff around him with Josh McDaniels and John 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.880 Striker who's kind of his right hand man. And so 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.720 it's just a great combination of minds right now for 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.040 the Patriots. And it's a well coached football team and 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.160 you see it in the results in the record, but 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.560 he also can kind of feel it day to day 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.200 that you know, the culture in the locker room in 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.440 the one eighty that they did from the last couple 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:26.840 of years. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.479 And Evan, it seems like it's a team that has 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.160 taken on the identity of the coach, right Rabel, tough guy, 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.040 you know, Ohio State, former Patriot and all those great teams, 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.640 you know, gonna win on toughness and discipline and all that, 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.000 and it seems like how they're playing right, Yeah, I. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.920 Would agree with that to an extent. But I think 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.720 the biggest difference between the teams that Rabel played on 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.960 here and this Patriots team is just how explosive their 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.280 offense is in the passing game. Is they're an offense 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.240 that with Brady was always super and always ahead of 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:06.120 the chains, and they weren't in really any bad situations 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.520 in terms of down and distances and stuff like that. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.919 You know, this Patriots team might have a negative player 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.520 two on first and second down, but then on third 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.840 and twelve, Drake may makes a play. You know, he 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.760 just makes a play down the field is deep. Passing 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.280 numbers are absolutely off the charts, they're top five in 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.680 the league and exposed to play rate on offense. So 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.920 I would say that's the biggest difference in terms of 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.200 the style of play between this team and maybe the 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.200 teams that was either quarterback by Tom Brady or played 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.160 for with you know, Raybol. And it's been really cool 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.160 to kind of see that development from McDaniels too in 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.320 this offense that they're they're throwing the ball down the 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.120 field a lot more than maybe what we've seen in 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:49.560 the past. 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.280 And yeah, seems like Drake May, you know, now in 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.079 his second year, has really come on in what ways 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.280 has he gotten better and improved and really leading this team. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.960 Yeah, I think that's you know, we're a good place 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.399 to start. You just said leading this team. I think 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.120 that's been a huge area of emphasis, you know, from 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.720 an intangible standpoint with Mike Rabel since the day that 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.400 he got here, was developing Drake May into a leader. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.200 And Rabel's the first one to tell you that he's 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.440 not going to come in here and teach Drake May 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.400 quarterback mechanics and footwork and be breaking down you know, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.839 progressions and things like that, like he's going to leave 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.600 that kind of stuff to Josh McDaniels, but the actual 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.040 leadership element of it is something that he has pushed 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.720 heavily with Drake May. And you see Drake May really 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.480 taking on that role just as a second year quarterback, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.240 as a twenty three year old kid, he's really stepped 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.960 to the forefront and a team captain and is doing 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.960 all those types of things. Then, as a player, I 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.040 would say the biggest area growth for him is remaining 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.040 a passer for as long as possible. I think as 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.280 a rookie, he's such a great scrambler that he had 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.960 a tendency to maybe leave some pockets early and just 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:09.120 start scrambling around. Where now he's using his legs to 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.440 extend plays and buy time in the pocket while keeping 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.600 his eyes down the field and then making these big 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.760 throws down the field off platform, which I think is 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.240 a really big area of emphasis. And then also growth 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.640 is just you know, knowing that, Okay, I can just 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.680 move a little to my left or a little to 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.360 my right, or step up in this pocket to keep 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.479 myself protected and then hurt team still with my arm 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.840 and not rely so much on the scrambling. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.000 And Evan remind me I feel like I recall in 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.080 the twenty twenty four draft that May was taken in. 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.800 Weren't the Patriots offered like three first round picks for 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:50.159 their selection, maybe by the Vikings, And I guess, you know, 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.240 at the time, it's like, boy, that's you know, a 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.000 pretty hard thing to turn down. But I guess now 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.320 look looking pretty good that decision. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.760 Yeah, there was definitely trade chatter, both of the Giants 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.760 and the Vikings. The Giants were at six, I remember 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:06.880 that off the top of my head. 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:08.800 They ended up taking. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.040 Malik Neighbors there and then the Vikings, I want to say, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.880 we're at like eight, and that of course was JJ McCarthy. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.479 So there was some conversations there about trading down, but 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.800 I remember it might have been on hard knocks the 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.920 Giants side with them trying to negotiate a trade for 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.599 the Patriots third overall pick. And I remember at the 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.120 time the Patriots general manager Elliot Wolf just saying we 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.599 didn't have a quarterback, then we would be having a 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.760 different discussion. But we need the quarterback and Drake May 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.479 is sitting there or Jayden Daniels whatever it ends up being, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.279 So we're going to stick and pick the quarterback. And 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.039 good things that they did, because you know, it's it's 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.479 really been you know, we're able deserves a ton of 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.880 the credit, but you know, Drake May is the reason 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:53.200 why the Patriots are nine and two. 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.680 Evin Lazarre from Patriots dot Com as our guest and Evan, 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.440 you guys got to dealing with a few injuries, especially 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.880 a big one on the d line. 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:08.320 Yeah, yeah, So that's really their first big injury, i 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.480 would say, of the year, which is a big part 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.600 of their record as well. The Patriots have only placed 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.120 two players on injured reserve during the season, so quite 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.080 a bit different in what's going on with the Bengals. Right, So, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.280 Milton Williams is now on injured reserve with a high 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.320 ankle sprain. He's going to be out at least the 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.000 next four games. And he's just been every single thing 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:31.960 that they hoped that he would be when they signed 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.040 him as a free agent back in March as the 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.480 highest paid free agent. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.000 In the NFL last offseason. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:43.400 And he's been terrific, terrific motor, excellent pressure player, you know, 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.000 third in the league and pass rush win rate among 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.920 interior defensive linemen, good against the run, hustles, on every 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.120 single play, you know, sideline the sideline through the whistle 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.680 kind of player, and that was a big thing that 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.039 the Patriots also in one of their team identities is 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.800 effort and it's a big part of the Mike Rabel 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.800 message and Milan Williams was really bringing that to life 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.880 on the field. So replacing him is not going to 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.000 be easy. You know, They're going to probably do it 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.760 by aggregate and have a couple of different guys that 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.040 are going to try to fill in there. They still 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.360 have Christian Barmore on the inside is a very good 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.040 player as well, but that was supposed to be a 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.040 duo or a tandem there on the inside and has 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.400 been for the majority of the season. But they'll be 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.640 without Williams for this game against the Bengals, but also, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.040 you know, just looking big picture, two games against the 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.920 Bills and the Ravens after their bye week as well, 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.800 So some really big games coming up that Milan Williams 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:38.240 will miss. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.440 So for Bengals fans listen to this that are obviously 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.520 going to tune into the game. You mentioned Drake may 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.320 mentioned a couple of pieces on defense, But what's another 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.720 strength of this team? Evan as you watch them week 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.920 in and week out. What's another place you think this 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.320 team really has it well. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:55.720 I think it's a couple of places. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.560 You know, their wide receiving core has been a lot 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.640 better than they expected coming into the season. Now, maybe 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.200 you give some of that credit to May and McDaniels 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.880 and McDaniels scheming it up and Drake putting the ball 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.400 in great places. But Kayshawan Boody sounds like he's going 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.360 to be back this week. He's been missing the last 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.120 couple of weeks, and he's kind of May's favorite down 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.680 the field, deep threat, you know, outside the numbers type 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.000 of receiver LSU guys just like Jamar Chase, so he 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.000 has that kind of skill set. And then Stefan Dicks 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.840 has obviously been fantastic. You know, everything I said about 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.320 Milton Williams applies to Stefon Diggs too. He has been 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:36.200 exactly what the doctor ordered for them. Veteran, steady, presidence, 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.880 leader on and off the field, and productive. 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.240 So he's been a. 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.120 Home run signing as well. And then I would say, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.760 you know, on the defensive side of the ball, they 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.920 feel pretty good about their cornerback tandem and Christian Gonzalez 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.360 and Carlon Davis, And I know, you know, last year 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.000 in the opener, you guys saw Christian Gonzalez and Jamar 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.960 Chasco toe to toe and he's an all Pro caliber 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.800 corner and Carlon Davis is a pretty good number two corner. 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.800 So they have that ability with those two guys to 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.800 match up against the opponents receivers and Tie Higgins and 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.560 I'm sure going to see uh plenty maybe of both 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.240 of those guys honestly, depending on how the Patriots decided 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.440 to do things without chasing there. So I think those 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.640 sort of twosomes, if you will, have been real strength 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.920 of this team, both you know, Williams and Barmore, Gonzalez 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.959 and Davis, you know, Diggs and Booty like that's kind 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.199 of been the bedrock of the team outside of Drake May. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.560 Evin Lazar from Patriots dot Com is our guest, and 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.319 Evan wants the chat up your guys way as far 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.199 as to who's going to be playing quarterback for the 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:40.160 Bengals on Sunday, because honestly, here in Cincinnati, we don't 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:40.640 know either. 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.400 I know when you guys are asking me all these 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.640 questions about the Patriots and I want to ask you 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.280 guys questions, like the heck is going to be a 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:54.640 quarterback for you know, everything right now with the Patriots 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.040 is pretty much status quo. You know, they had the 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.720 Thursday night game against the Jets, and then they had 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.080 to make bye week coming off the Thursday night game, 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.280 so everybody's getting a little bit healthier. They had a 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.760 little time off. Like, there's not much to talk about 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.679 in terms of changes or anything like that outside of 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.400 the Williams injury for the Patriots. So all of our 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.280 eyes are are focus right now on you guys and 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.320 what's going on with Joe Burrow. So I would assume 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.040 that it's going to be him right like, it looks 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.160 like everything's trending towards Burrow coming back this week, which 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.959 gives this game definitely a little bit more juice. 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:28.720 I think that was. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.520 As much as Patriots fans. I think we're reveling in 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.680 the fact that Chase wasn't going to play and that 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.000 this was probably going to be one of those games 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.760 where they could chock it up to a win and 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.240 keep this thing rolling. The Patriots do need to get 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.160 battle tested here a little bit against some better teams 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.080 and they will, you know, against Buffalo and Baltimore, like 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.079 I mentioned, after their bye week. But now all of 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.560 a sudden, this changes the whole complexion of this game. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.720 And this is another one that you can really be 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.600 a little bit battle tested by. So there's so much 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.040 talk around here, guys about the easy schedule that the 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.120 Patriots have had, and pretty much every single metrics says 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.280 that they have the easiest schedule in football, and the 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.800 Patriots fans get a little bit sensitive about that, and 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.360 you know, people are kind of poking the bear when 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.240 it comes to the easy schedule conversation. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.880 But going into Cincinnati. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.640 And beating Joe Burrow is not an easy win. So 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.760 I think there's both, you know, a positive and negative 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:24.520 aspect of it in that sense. 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.880 No, and people mention that, but I mean at the 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.839 time you beat the Bucks, you know, they were playing 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.440 pretty good. And I still think they're a good team. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.280 Beat the Bills. They're a good team with maybe the 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.559 best player in the NFL on it. So I wouldn't 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.120 say it's been a completely easy schedule. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:41.720 No, it hasn't been. 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.440 You know, those two games definitely stand out, but they've 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.680 also cleaned up against some really bad teams. Now, to 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.640 their credit, they've made the really bad teams look really bad. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:53.680 And that's what you want to see when you're a 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.120 good football team. And one of the things that Mike 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.360 Rabel said at his introductory press conference that was sort 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.280 of the first that for the program when they hired him, 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.760 was taking advantage of bad football. So the Patriots have 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.760 passed that test. You know, They've beaten the Tennessee's, the 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.280 New Orleans and the Cleveland's, the Jets, you know, those 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.480 types of teams, and they've been able to win the 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.000 games that you also were kind of more coin flip games, 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.880 like the Bills in Tampa Bay. So they've passed every 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.320 test so far. So you know, it's not that you 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.520 know they haven't, but I think that a lot of 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.840 people now are like, all right, well, you got to 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.120 this point, you're probably gonna be in the playoffs. So 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.560 hopefully when the division, you know, now the goalposts have moved, 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.120 let's win playoff games, right, you know, now that everybody's 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.679 getting a taste of it, everyone's a little bit greedy. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.040 All right with that, Evan, we will let you go, man, 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.319 Thanks so much for talking. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:48.840 To us anytime. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:49.920 Guys, enjoy the game. 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:55.640 Thank you Evan Lazarre from Patriots dot Com.

You know the Stanford's quarterback was 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.000 John Elway. Oh wow. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.280 Yeah, and it's funny. I was reading up on it, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:28.160 and he said, when he's been asked about it, you know, 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:29.840 when the band coming on the field and all that, 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.160 He said, Yeah, each year it gets a little funnier, 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.480 he total reporter.

I'm just sitting there. I still 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:22.000 can't believe it. I'm gonna go get drunk, but. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:23.359 To be fair, he was gonna get drunk. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:28.960 You know, it's sad drunk instead of extremely happy drunk. 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:33.320 So anyway, just stay in history. The band is out 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:34.000 on the field. 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.679 If you haven't for whatever reason, you've never seen that 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.520 looking up because it's pretty pretty damn funny. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.560 Yeah, yeah, so rock. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:48.360 Speaking of funny, but also sad and stupid.
