26
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited. You know why, kickoff is what

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: less than twenty four hours away? Right, I'm excited, not leaving,

28
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: you know. I'm always excited for the first game, you know, regardless,

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: but there's to me, there's an extra layer of excitement

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: because I don't know what the f is gonna happen.

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: I really don't know. I have no idea. They could

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: run away with it, they could get blown out, it

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: could be a tight loss win. I really don't know.

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't know either, And I mean it's I really

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: like going back. I went back to that last Miami

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: game last year, which I now realized why I blocked

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: it out. I didn't remember anything of it. But the

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: Patriots got pretty thoroughly handled down there. Um, you know,

39
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: the same thing as the year before. I like just

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: having like, you just played these guys. You just went

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: down there and had kind of a poor performance technically

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: two games ago. So you know what, what are they

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: going to have down there? What kind of surprises are

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: both teams gonna unleash? And it's week one. It's it's exciting.

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Thursday night just to get going see

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo in the Rams. I mean what a game that is? Oh,

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: you'll watch that is that it's on, right, you'll watch

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: that probably mid second floor you'll tap out out Buffalo

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo is playing if they'll play it was like the

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: Rams and Tampa. Yeah out but the Rams Cowboys, he

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be watching. That's a good opener. How you're gonna

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I'll just be watching it like gritting my teeth, being

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: like it's reading some stuff in Pete King's uh Monday

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Monday Morning piece. Rams have quite the daunting slate. Yeah,

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: like ten playoff teams from last year. It happens when

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: you come in first and acres back to That was

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: kind of what they were missing him for most of

58
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: the year last year. Right, we only played a couple

59
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: of games and yeah, almost cost him the playoff game

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: against Tampa, big part of what they do. Yeah, So

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: Deuce is here, Paul's here, I'm here, Matt's in the booth,

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Alex is on her way down to Miami. She's going

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: to be covering practice in Bill Belichick and all that

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: during the week. So look for her stuff on Patriots

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: dot com. I don't know where to marry. Yeah, she's

66
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: u on the pup list at the moment. Yeah, she'll

67
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: injure injury report today. Okay, doubtful for the show, my grain.

68
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: I think she's gonna be all right, don't forget. Well,

69
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: we will have a show tomorrow because we are in

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: regular season mode, and right at some point tomorrow afternoon,

71
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: after we're off the year, we'll get an injury report. Yeah,

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: and we know how much Bill Belichick first of the years. Well,

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: and that's really interesting to see what they say about

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery. Bill Belichick asked this morning twice snout only

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: on on Wei but also with the Patriots press conference,

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: that is everybody going to travel? And it sounded like yes,

77
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: on Time everybody is traveling. Yeah, of course they are.

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: How are you gonna get treatment if you don't travel? Well,

79
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: I guess, but you know, usually everybody's there. I know

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: there's no yet they're leaving now. Well, I suppose you

81
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: could send him up to TV twelve, but um not.

82
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think astually, if the team travels on Saturday,

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: you get downgrades for people who didn't travel. The traveling

84
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: team's required to release that info, but you don't have

85
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: to if if no, if everyone's traveling, you don't have

86
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: to say who's herd? Yeah, correct. I do think there's

87
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: a chance that we'll find out early on time Montgomery.

88
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: But I think Isaiah Win will play. Yeah, I think

89
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: so too. I think he'll play. And don't ask me

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: why I have deemed his injuries left. Just the fact

91
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: that he's been in out in I think it's a

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: nagging problem. You can't make time Montgomery. We haven't seen

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: him the practice field since now. Maybe be proven incorrect

94
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: in tomorrow he'll be out at the practice field when

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: they I think they're practicing at like Palm Beach Atlantic

96
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, they're out in must Palm Beach,

97
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: so maybe well we'll get some news. I am sort

98
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: of operating under the Fred Kersh assumption that anything that

99
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: happens with Ty Montgomery right now in the in the

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: immediate is gravy. Yeah, I'm not expecting him to play

101
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: at least for the first week or two. Yeah, and

102
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: if and if he doesn't though, you know, did you

103
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: go to JJ Taylor? Are you ready to put Pierre

104
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: Strong out there? Or do you just roll with with

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: Stevenson and Harris? And I think I think right now,

106
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: you go with Taylor, you know, to see give him

107
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: a chance. Yeah, at least a couple of touches. Yep,

108
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: I think it would be Taylor. Yeah. Yeah. So it's

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: like I said, I don't know, I don't know what

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: I've been looking at the summer and I have even

111
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: a less idea of what I'm about to see. It's

112
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be new to me. Yeah, that's and

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: that's like I'm trying to find you know, how bad

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: was it really this summer? Like, you know, it's just

115
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: it's so hard to know. How many times did you

116
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: come out of camp feeling one way and then oh yeah,

117
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: all everything we was confirmed by the first few It's

118
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: hard to tell. But I'm just in a whole different

119
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: place because I've never been I've never been as sort

120
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: of unsure or shaken by what I've seen in the

121
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: summer like I have. This year shook. Now, I would say,

122
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: let's eliminate the COVID year because that was so atypical.

123
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: No preseason games, No, you know that was not But

124
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: all of the other camps last year included, I don't

125
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: think I've ever been so unsure about what exactly they're

126
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: going to try to do, what they want to try

127
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: to do. Who's good, who's maybe they need to upgrade?

128
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I it's it has been a very shaky because even

129
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: last year, you know, you went in with a supposed

130
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: quarterback competition. You had Mac and you had Cam Newton,

131
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: and you know there were times where they both look bad,

132
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: one would look good one of the but Mac did

133
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: enough to just win the job. But you weren't dealing

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: with like this change of offensive philosophy and what did

135
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: you figure, like, okay, so the rookie won the job.

136
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: So we all would sit here and would say, they're

137
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna try to simplify some things for the kid.

138
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball um, they're gonna try to

139
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: stay out of there, you know, all the cliches, and

140
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: they did like you had an idea of how they

141
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: were going to attack things, and then they did, and

142
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: I think Mac handled all of those things really well.

143
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't throw a touchdown for like five weeks,

144
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: but it seemed through a touchdowns first game, I know,

145
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: but we had like one five. He was low on

146
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: the touchdown stats, you know, for the beginning. I think

147
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: that's the thing about not being semantics, yam. Just they

148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: never threw the ball into the end zone. Yeah, for

149
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: like five weeks. Yeah, he threw some touchdown passes, but yeah,

150
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: never like they wouldn't allow him. You know, they got

151
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: they gotta take the the tames off. But I don't know,

152
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: like there's been too you know, wouldn't allow him. He

153
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: didn't elect to throw them, you know. Yeah, so I

154
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: think some of it was on him too. I agree.

155
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: It was unique in that you had the rookie quarterbacks,

156
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: You had some kind of you know a little bit

157
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: let's see how it goes with him. But you also

158
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: were going from the twenty twenty weapons to all these

159
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: free agency weapons. So at that point you still had

160
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: all this confidence of John Smith, Hunter Henry and also

161
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: like you know, thinking of what that could be. Now

162
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: maybe we're kind of back to that point a little

163
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: bit in terms of the second year jumps and like thinking, well,

164
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: maybe John H. Smith this year and maybe Nelson this year,

165
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: but you still you still don't know when I think

166
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: for me, it's just about consistency. You just I think

167
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: that will be. What will be most maybe surprising to me,

168
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: is to see them go out there and string together

169
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: like a ten twelve play drive to have some success

170
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: in the run game. You'll be like, wow, where was

171
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: this all summer? Like, That's the thing I have to

172
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: despite all the hiccups we saw on the offense, I

173
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: have to think it's better for the receivers to know, okay,

174
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: Max my quarterback than last training camp, where it could

175
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: be Cam, it could be Mad who are completely different throwers.

176
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: You know that's true. You know that's true. I watched

177
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: some of it. I went back to twenty twenty two

178
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: watching Cam Newton and geez man, I talk about you

179
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: forget how bad it was, Like whoa when you're throwing boulders.

180
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: Oh well, just remember I remember Fred just the whole

181
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: body into the ball, like he just felt like he

182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: was reaching back for the universe and trying to like,

183
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: you guys are such haters. It was covid. No, but

184
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's trying to think of the new terminology

185
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: while he's doing it. No, but like you're right of

186
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: the effort it took to throw a twenty yard pass

187
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Yeah, and that's and that, like, you know,

188
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of the impetus though, was just the you know,

189
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: like like we talked about all offseason, like the Patriots, Yeah,

190
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: they finished second in the AFC East, but like Miami's

191
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: really owned them recently. Yeah. And you know, to go

192
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: back to that last game last season, at the end

193
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: of the year, going down, You're in the thick of

194
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: a playoff fight. Going into that game, you could have

195
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: been anywhere from the top seed to the sixth seed.

196
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: They come out, Miami strings, you know, right down the

197
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: field on them, you know, pick six, then again right

198
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: down the field on them, and before you know what,

199
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: it was seventeen nothing. And I mean, I just think

200
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: that that game, looking back on, it captured so many

201
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: of the issues that we talked about. I think the

202
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: run defense was terrible. You know, so many of their

203
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: conversions in third down there's just thirtain short. They're staying

204
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: on time, their running backs are picking up six seven,

205
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: yards a carry on on the early downs, putting them

206
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: in favorable situations. And you know, even looking back at

207
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Miami's performance last year, like their offense, those were the

208
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: two best games of the season for them by far

209
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: in terms of like efficiency DVO way against the Patriots,

210
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: those two games are standalone. That says a lot why,

211
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, and it just it shouldn't be that they

212
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: game the first game of the year was one of

213
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: their better statistical game offensively because I didn't think they

214
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: did anything offensively the second game. The I think they

215
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: were the lowest ranked rushing offense in football, and they

216
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: ran for about two hundred yards against the Patriots in

217
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: the in the last game week eighteen, I didn't remember them.

218
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: I thought they had like two drives in that in

219
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: the first game, one at the start of the game

220
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: and one at the start of the second half. It

221
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: was it was definitely better the second game. But yeah,

222
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: I mean surprising and not not overwhelming, But I mean

223
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: you're looking at otherwise a very very average offense over

224
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: the course of the year, except for those Patriots games,

225
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: where it's not that they were like putting, it was

226
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: just they were which is why they they spent so

227
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: many resources to try to improve because they knew they

228
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: weren't good enough offensively, and they got a lot of

229
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: you know, free agents that they brought into to show

230
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: ups and spots. I mean the offensive line, which again,

231
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: like they taught you read some of the Dolphins stuff

232
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: about what an issue the offensive line was last year.

233
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, we didn't get anywhere near too. I don't like,

234
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what everyone else was watching, but their

235
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: offensive line did just find against our defensive line, at

236
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: least in those you know, bookend games of this. Remember

237
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, having him run around but never getting to him.

238
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and there are a couple of those where

239
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: third down and third and long, and he in the

240
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: second game he had a key late scramble for a

241
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: first down. Yeah, which he doesn't do a whole lot of. Nope. Well,

242
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, in the off season we

243
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: were talking about it, you know, these mobile quarterbacks starting

244
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: with Ta getting that speed on defense so that you

245
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: can contain these guys. It'll be interesting to see how

246
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: to I'm I'm kind of curious to watch him play

247
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: to see if he can be that guy that you

248
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: saw at Alabama who was like Fred said at you know,

249
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more athletic and mobile. He hasn't been

250
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: that guy in the pros, and I think that's by design. Um.

251
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: I think they want to keep him in the pocket

252
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: as much as they can because he's he's small, and

253
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be fragile, and if he

254
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: takes hits outside the pocket, I don't think he's going

255
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: to be able to sustain them. Yeah, I think I

256
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: think he's going to get hurt and worn down. So

257
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm kind of interested to see if his approach is

258
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: any different this year, or if they just want to

259
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: keep getting the ball out of his hands quickly. And

260
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: that's what I think it is, Like, you know, looking back,

261
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: why why is two or three? And Oz and his

262
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: numbers they're not like outstand twenty five times, right. I

263
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: think it's just the fact that Miami somehow knows how

264
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: to stay on time against this defense. And it's not

265
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: that they light him up. They just first down, first down,

266
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: first down, score, you know, thirteen play drives. It's not well,

267
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: something's you had. Flora is there and he certainly knew us.

268
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: He certainly knew our offense, and he knew the personnel

269
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: on defense, he's gone, but do you think the lessons

270
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: he are still there? Well, I think that that's something

271
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: to point out because I do feel looking at these

272
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: games specifically on the offensive side of the ball, which

273
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: doesn't totally match up with I think the point you're

274
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: trying to make, but it does seem like Miami played

275
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: a little punched above their weight and the games against

276
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots a little bit at least offensively on our defense.

277
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Do you think there's enough new faces on our defense

278
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: where anything that Flora is left behind you can throw

279
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: out the window because there's enough new faces or well,

280
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: they still have Josh Boyer is the defense. He's so

281
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: he's going to be probably running. And I thought it

282
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: was interesting to listen to Bill talk about he could

283
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: probably call out our defense, and we could probably call

284
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: out what they're doing on defense. Okay, just by the formations,

285
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: even the terminology. Um So, I think there's still a

286
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of similarities between them when Flores

287
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: was doing and what they're doing now. Yeah, I mean

288
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: in the opener they blitz back twenty one times, the

289
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: last one they bliss them twelve, So they did bring

290
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: it back a little bit. I'm sure throwing throwing the

291
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: house at the rookie game one that that makes a

292
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: lot of which they also got a big lead in

293
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: the second seventeen. Nothing, no need to blit, you know,

294
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: just keep everything in front of you and make them.

295
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: But if you're if you're spinning up the defensive game

296
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: plan from Miami, wouldn't you do that in game one?

297
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: It's just well, of course, at least to start to

298
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: see how he and if you remember, he handled it okay, Yeah,

299
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: so they probably said, all right, we can't just treat

300
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: him like any other rookie. He handled it over, but

301
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: I would do it again, of course. That's and that's

302
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: absolutely to Paul's point that he's you know, making fun

303
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: of us rightly, so of and I said to Paul,

304
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: we're walking over to do the TV show Ustard, and

305
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: it was like, jeez, you know, Paul, the offense is

306
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: like exactly the same except for DeVante Parker and Cole Strange.

307
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Like that's basically the change that you're taking to Miami.

308
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: It's the same kind of thing. So you know, probably

309
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Paul was right making fun of me. It'll be like,

310
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited, but I don't defense in our defense. You

311
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: know if Ti Montgomery was healthy and if if Thornton

312
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: was kind of nipping there. But we always we always

313
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: talk about the domino effect on a depth chart, when

314
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: you bring somebody in or take somebody out, how it affects. Now,

315
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: who's your number two? Now, who's your number three? I

316
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: think Parker's is significant. I think that that kind of

317
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, puts other people where they should be in

318
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: the depth chart, you know what I mean? Yeah, I don't.

319
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, like last year Myers or Agal shouldn't have

320
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: been at number one or Born, Yeah, I would say,

321
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: And I think you're right. I mean, I you know,

322
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: it's not that DeVante Parker's this super dynamic weapon that

323
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: you can do all kinds of stuff with. But I

324
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: think what he does well, he does well. And that's

325
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: something that you have to consider, you know, you have

326
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: to at least consider it, especially with you know, I'm

327
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: sure let's let's put let's think of DeVante Parker in

328
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: another way. Let's say that the Keel Harry was as

329
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: good as Davante Parker is. Now as a first we'd

330
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: be like, okay, yeah, well, I mean it's it's I mean,

331
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: the contest catches in the end zone, the fades that

332
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: you know I was making fun of so much early

333
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: in camp, and now you know later in camp they

334
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: got the little slant into the equation. I'm sure that

335
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: they'll work a comeback to up the sideline. But even

336
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: if it's all he does, that's okay, just as long

337
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: as they're effective and it gives them something to think about.

338
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you, every time they're inside the twenty,

339
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: that first play DeVante Parker chuck it up to him.

340
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: See see what happens, Especially with you know, Byron Jones

341
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: being out, the cornerback depth kind of being tested. They

342
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: don't have great cornerback depth, so you know, how can

343
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: you maybe try to exploit some of those matchups down

344
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: down the depth chart a little bit. But is Howard

345
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: their number one? Oh yeah, yeah, he's better than he's

346
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: one of the three vest corners of yall. He's better

347
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: than the guy that's out. Oh yeah, oh yeah, play

348
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, but two good guys. And but you

349
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: know then, but Jones is a pretty good number two.

350
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: Nick Needham I think would probably have to start. Obviously

351
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: there's a drop off there, and then they had a

352
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: high draft pick who I'm not going to try to

353
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: pronounce his name. He's been a tremendous disappointment for them.

354
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't know if he would even

355
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: make the team. Noah, Yeah, igbow Wanna, I used to

356
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: be able to shut up. Look, I could see him

357
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: scrambling in there, make sure I get my lunch. Ig

358
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: been not gonna. I think is maybe in the in

359
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: the general neighborhood of it. I could probably say it

360
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: last year, but he's been either way, he's been a disappointment.

361
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: Right then you're looking to like Callege free agents and

362
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: you know Keyon Cross, an old friend Elijah Campbell. I mean,

363
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: there's just so some deep so maybe you can get

364
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: down into there. But I still think we talked about

365
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: it on the show yesterday, the TV show was the

366
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, like that's I think that's where

367
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: it all starts. Forget about like matching up receivers and

368
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: all that. Like if they can't protect and they can't

369
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: open some running lanes up to get the offense going,

370
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: I don't know how much the rest of that stuff

371
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: really matters. Yeah, I mean we're gonna get into like,

372
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, uh, game planning for Miami but do you

373
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: think the game plan for the Patriots defense is to

374
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: attack to or do you you know, flood zones or

375
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, drop more people in coverage and do it

376
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: that way because pages have done both. Yeah. Well, And

377
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: then by contrast, Patriots blitz to a five times of

378
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: the first week three times in the second meetings heavy blitz.

379
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a hard guy that blitz because he

380
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: gets rid of the ball so quickly. Yep, you know,

381
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: But what you know? But what do they have? You know?

382
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: I mean the defense is different, there are new pieces

383
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: on defense, there are new things that they can try

384
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: to do. But you know, just to come out of

385
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: the gate in that final week eighteen game and allow

386
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: a thirteen play seventy seven yard drive Macdro's then a

387
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: fifteen play seven Like that's just what do you bring

388
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: it into the game? Like you didn't even really have

389
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: You weren't prepared for what they've been doing. And they've

390
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: been doing kind of the same thing to you now

391
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: for you know, three games. So how does the defensive

392
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: plan change? Do they play more zone? Did they try

393
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: to use Marcus Jones and jet those speedy guys in

394
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: the middle. Do they try to get faster. How do

395
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: they use the safeties to you know, you just watch

396
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: the game. It's pitch and catch. Everything they're doing is

397
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: working when they you know, started those games off right

398
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: into it with the RPOs and you know, good runs

399
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: and you know, so it's just it's all connected. The

400
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: run defense has got to be better. I mean Bill

401
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: would never say it, but I know it's philosophy for

402
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: a long time, is these teams will eventually make a

403
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: mistake on offense. So let's not force it. Let's just

404
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: not give up the big play. Let's make them earn it.

405
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Let's make them go down the field. In short, you

406
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: know a lot of plays. If they if they can

407
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: execute fifteen plays, so be it. But we're not going

408
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: to take chances and allow them to get you know,

409
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: now that doesn't always work. Um. I think last year

410
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: then they give up more chunk plays than they have

411
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: in a long time. But but I think that's always

412
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: been his thing is you know, get the f back,

413
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: don't allow the big plays. And I mean, and as

414
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Bill pointed out today, I mean San Francisco, you know,

415
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: one of the league leaders in yards after catch. So

416
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's not even just not getting beat

417
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: over the top. I think it's as much about tackling,

418
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: and I think the big plays. I mean that's you know,

419
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: if you miss a tackle, that's oh they're gone. That's

420
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: limit the big place. But it's not necessarily get back

421
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: because I think that they will make a lot of

422
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: big plays on shore. It passes this year. Well, now

423
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: now that they have Hill and yeah, Hill waddle, Wilson

424
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: mostert Edmund's speed. Yeah, a lot of speed. Yep. So

425
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: it's it's just okay, maybe they make the catch, but

426
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: you gotta be there. You gotta have that one arm

427
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: around the waist and get him down. And you know,

428
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the philosophy with you know,

429
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Jones and all that, Like he may not be

430
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the best coverage guy, but if he's there, yeah, then

431
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: he can at least make the tackle and limit the play. Right. Well,

432
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: I think we'll all probably be beside ourselves if they

433
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: get out there and it's like Carl Davis godchaw to

434
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: buy like heavy, heavy lineup, like, but then it's how

435
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: do they stop the run? Well, the lighter stuff, yes see,

436
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the problem is if you go

437
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: light and you get one down with the running game.

438
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: And remember that Week eighteen game that Mike is talking about.

439
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: I think Duke Johnson had like one hundred and thirty

440
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: yards in that game. They ran for about one hundred.

441
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: They've ran for almost two hundred yards in that game. Yeah,

442
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: and again, they don't expect to be the worst rushing

443
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: offense in football this year. They've made significant improvements, two

444
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that are new and two running backs that

445
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: they brought in. They think they're going to be better

446
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: running the ball. I don't, you know, We'll see they

447
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: have the questions that the Patriots do. I mean, we'll

448
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: see it's a new a new offense that they're implementing

449
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: happens to be the same offense, but we'll see. If

450
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: there are any further alonge, then the Patriots are in

451
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: that regard. But if they can run the ball and

452
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: wear down those smaller linebackers, the Patriots is gonna have

453
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: a hard time, you know, limiting big plays when you

454
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: had to devote extra bodies, because I don't think they

455
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: can afford to devote extra bodies to stop the run. No,

456
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: and I mean, you got run for one hundred and

457
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: ninety five yards was the total with Duke Johnson. Who

458
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: where did he even go? End up in Miami? I

459
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: mean that's you know, been around the league and they're terrible,

460
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: supposedly terrible offensive line. So you know, those those facts

461
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: don't don't make you feel great. And they brought in

462
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: Taran obstaed and uh, who's the center from Dallas there,

463
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: Connor Williams. I mean, there's no doubt that after that

464
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: buy there was something wrong with that Patriots defense last

465
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: year starting in Indianapolis, when they just they couldn't stop anybody,

466
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: and and it just continued. Oh and this was a

467
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: revisit of it, because that was you got to that point.

468
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: You're reading some of the old game previews of all

469
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity the Patriots still have. You know, they blew

470
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: out Jacksonville, Let's go down to Miami. It's a tough

471
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: place you can regroup, and you know, they just they

472
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: didn't bring it right out of the gate. I mean,

473
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: how much worse can it get to give a long

474
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: sustained drive and then throw a pick six. It's like

475
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: you're immediately right in the right behind the eight ball.

476
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: So they can't do that to themselves if they want

477
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: any chance to win the first year head coach factor.

478
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, are we buying into any of that? Does

479
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: it move the needle at all? I mean not so

480
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: much for me, because I think you still have the

481
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: defensive coaches that are going to know what they want

482
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: to do. Maybe they don't have the same kind of

483
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: overall team fire that that Floores might have brought. But

484
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, I also think that that this offense with

485
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's given the Patriots plenty of problems going back

486
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: to you know, most recently here in twenty twenty against

487
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco. It was the same kind of thing. They

488
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: just they had no answers for it. So I saw

489
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: them have no answers against two well last year. I

490
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: saw them have no answers against McDaniel's offense a couple

491
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: of years ago. So it's it's it's such an interesting

492
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: matchup right out of the gate against the team you

493
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: really should know, a team that's beaten you pretty handily,

494
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: you know the last time you saw them in this

495
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: same setting. So you know, good opportunity for Mac. I

496
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: think it's a really tough area for him. We know

497
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: how hard it is down there in Florida for anybody

498
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: to play. But what's the line right now? Three? I

499
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: think the ch answer your question. I always would give

500
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: Bill an edge virtually against any coach, but especially against

501
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: the first time coach. I do kind of agree with Mike.

502
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: I think it's mitigated a little bit because of a

503
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: couple of factors. First of all, overall, and I thought

504
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Mike Reese had this on Sunday and one of his

505
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: one of his notes in his Sunday column, his winning

506
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: percentage against first time coaches is pretty much the same

507
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: as his winning percentage against everybody else, right, so it's

508
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: not as big as six. So I thought that was

509
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: interesting to start. You would have thought it would have

510
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: been higher, right, like he was five and oh last

511
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: year against first time coaches. But the part that I

512
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: think is really mitigated is I don't think this is

513
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: a typical situation that you find the first time coaching,

514
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: the first year coach. It's a it's not a terrible team.

515
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: They went nine and eighty, they've made improvements. It's it's

516
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: not a bad team. Usually it's Robert Sala taking over

517
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: a three win Jets team, right, that's why they're going

518
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: to smack. And they got a new head coach, you know,

519
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: And that's why they were in the market for a

520
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: new coach exactly. And I don't think I mean, Miami

521
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: shocked a lot of people by by getting rid of

522
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Brian Flores. We all know why now, ye right, um,

523
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a team that I think most people

524
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: would have thought, well, they got to start over. Man,

525
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: they need a new coach, you know. Certainly not that night,

526
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: right when we were doing the postgame show after week eighteen.

527
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us was thinking, Wow, this

528
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: team's really going to be dangerous next year when they

529
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: get a real good coach. Yeah, we thought they had

530
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: instead had Tyreek Hill. So again, I think that you

531
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: have an advantage going against the first time coach, largely

532
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: because your roster was a lot better than the other

533
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: team's roster. You know, I don't think that's the case

534
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: right now. Not a receiver, all right? Eight five five

535
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: five hundred is the ace ticket, hut line web radio

536
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: at Patriots dot com. Is the email address? Any other

537
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 1: news that we wanted, you know, talk about before we

538
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: open it up to the listeners. Laquon treadwell, a little

539
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: practice squad additions. We don't know who left right, they

540
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: still had a spat. There was like an offensive lineman

541
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: who was here for a day, wasn't even at practice,

542
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: and then he ended up going somewhere. I thought we

543
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: deemed him a tryout that original one was and then

544
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: another guy came in like a later and then and

545
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: then I guess he was here briefly but then signed

546
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: somewhere else. So, um, you know, it's a four four

547
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: receivers now on the practice squad, little Jordan train Nix

548
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: and Lynn Bowden and LaQuan trap You read anything into

549
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: Laquon Treadwell, I read in some concern about Myers just

550
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he got banged up a little bit. Seems

551
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: like he's been limited, and I mean, I don't think

552
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: they can just go into the game with Parker Agle

553
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: not typical that I am completely swayed in my opinion

554
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: before and then I get an answer and I was like,

555
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Oh yeah, but I mean I

556
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: think you're down down. I was thinking of LaQuan Treadwell

557
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: as he's a former first round pick. He's a guy

558
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: that's been in the league, he hasn't really produced. Bill's

559
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: taken a flyer on him. He'll be gone in two weeks.

560
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: That's why possible. Maybe I could be true too. Maybe

561
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: Juice makes a good point. They could both be true. Yeah, maybe,

562
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: But I mean I'm all for it, I think at

563
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, I haven't been blown away with

564
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: anybody other really than than Thornton and Parker and some

565
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think everybody's okay. But I just think

566
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: I I love just like I love drafting quarterbacks. I

567
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: love bringing receivers in, especially with Mac. Try guys out,

568
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, like I anytime they would bring former high

569
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: round picks and get kicked the tires on it. Why not?

570
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: It's so hard to find, you know, really good weapons.

571
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe somebody would click with Mac and you'd find something.

572
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: But Paul's probably right. I mean no, I think that

573
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: I think would probably both right. I think that you are.

574
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: You make it good point like that. I think the

575
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: first round thing is is a factor with Bill. I

576
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: think Bill he likes the talent and trying to find

577
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: out for himself why it hasn't worked out for someone

578
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: just now. The guy has a little humility like, oh,

579
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, your first round pick. It's not so easy,

580
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: isn't well? The guys he's been around a long time.

581
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if that was the problem, it was just

582
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: it was too high on himself. He would have had

583
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: a chance on one of his last eight teams to

584
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: fix that. Um another story that we haven't heard any

585
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: news on our captains. A lot of other teams are

586
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: putting out their captains. Patriots haven't announced any yet. I

587
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: would assume we'll find out before the game, right, what

588
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: do you read into that? I think maybe Bill is

589
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: holding off and using as sort of a bonding thing

590
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 1: for while they're together down in Miami, maybe to make

591
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: the announcement to the team. You know, you had labored

592
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: a and everything, and we're usually in no rush to

593
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: name those things anyway. But I'll be surprised if if

594
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: Mac isn't one of those. That's that's why I really

595
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: want to I mean, you know it's gonna be David

596
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: Andrews and mccuardy, you know, umvent. I think Bentley probably

597
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: sneaked back, but I want to see if Mac, and

598
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that he will be one. You know, now,

599
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: was Brady always the captain? Was that? Ye? Always a captain?

600
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just confusing who walks out? He just won't

601
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: he won't walk. He wouldn't walk out. Yeah, yeah, he's

602
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: still the captain. Actually, they just haven't you know. Yeah, no,

603
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: he didn't walk. Well, quarterbacks usually don't because they're usually

604
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: they gotta get busy. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, I just

605
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: think he doesn't. I think other quarterbacks do you do? Yeah, well, yeah,

606
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: we want the ball, We're going to score, right, he

607
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: was out there, But I think like Josh Allen was

608
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: out there at the playoff game against Kansas City last year.

609
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: That's why they didn't win, right, just been getting ready.

610
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: He didn't win because he was he wasn't warmed up,

611
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: so not ever watch the ball again in that champ

612
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: that's right. Uh yeah, so, I but there's so many unknowns.

613
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I am going into this season knowing

614
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: less about the Patriots than than I normal. I mean,

615
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: let's face it, we probably allway Belichicks at the same thing.

616
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: We always like we always know nothing, right, we always

617
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. And yeah, you know

618
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: building you know, I don't know how many people I

619
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: thought we were gonna get strip sacked on the first

620
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: play of the season. For I remember that one hundred

621
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: years ago against Buffalo. You know, you know the Twitter

622
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: gift of of Leonardo DiCaprio from Once upon a Time

623
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: in Hollywood where he like points at the TV. It's

624
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of a popular like little mean where he's like,

625
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: I feel like there's gonna be a lot of that

626
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: going on, where it's like look a ten plus yard run,

627
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: Like look an RPO wide zone, Like is there gonna

628
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: be so many like things that kind of gets sprung

629
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: on you, like look at that. Also, remember not last year,

630
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: but uh the year before with cam new opening they

631
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: opened with Miami again probably remember they ran all those options.

632
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, this is what we're gonna see and

633
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: we didn't. Yeah, you know, it's just that game, yeah

634
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: and that and and it worked out was I mean,

635
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: they kind of caught them off guard. I mean, that's

636
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: probably a good example of you know, one of those

637
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of weird first games where you've got a little

638
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: something in the bag and it just is enough. But

639
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: but I mean even last year's first one, they're going

640
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: into score. If we see something we haven't seen yet

641
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: this summer, what will it be from the Patriots that

642
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: we haven't seen? Yeah, like during the summer, would what

643
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: would surprise you that oh, we haven't seen that all summer.

644
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything that I could put

645
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: in that category. I would say, just if there were

646
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of RPO stuff, if you know, if we

647
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: if we got a real sense that Mac was just

648
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: kind of you know, being able to pick at the

649
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: line what he wants to do, and you know, I don't, Yeah,

650
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: I don't think really easy. I think I've seen I've

651
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: seen it, you know, and it all no, no, no, no, no.

652
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think this summer they've tried some of that.

653
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: They've tried under center, they've spread it out, they've gone

654
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: five wide, they've had all right, I'll get two back

655
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: in the backfield, like like you know, traditional power running.

656
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: That would surprise me. I haven't seen any of that, Okay,

657
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: like running Johnny was the full back, full on or anybody,

658
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: but yes, Johnah would probably be the guy. Mike. Yeah, Like,

659
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen any of that, Like we're gonna

660
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: line up and run the ball power with two guys

661
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: in the backfield like we did last year with Jacob Johnson.

662
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any of that, right camp, Which that

663
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: would surprise me, which begs another question of I'm just curious.

664
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: Fourth and one at the goal line, you gotta have it?

665
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: What what's your go to? I mean for so long

666
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: it's been fair like you just go empty, spread of

667
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: that with Mac and let him pick his hole. Yeah,

668
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: like they used to do with camp. I mean, would

669
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: you be surprised if they do, in fact blitz a

670
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: lot on defense? No, I mean if they've done, they've

671
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: blitzed a lot, and I think it's gonna be the

672
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, why would you do anything different.

673
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: You don't play man line up, you know, see see

674
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: what they got. No, he's talking about the Patriot. I'm

675
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: talking about Patriots. The Patriots blitz a lot this summer,

676
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: especially in the preseason. Yeah, but they didn't blitz a

677
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: lot when they played Miami. No. I mean I probably

678
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: would be against it strategically in my limited football spais,

679
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: But like I just try to see if we can

680
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: get it done with Barnmore and Jude on it, and

681
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: see if we can win some matchups and get them,

682
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, let's test these these offensive linemen and get

683
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, those guys isolated and one on ones and

684
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: see if we could win there. Rather than you know,

685
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: I just it felt like the Patriots were on their

686
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: defensive heels so much of that last game, and right

687
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: from the get go, just not really knowing what's coming,

688
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, even the runs that you kind of have

689
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: stuffed out get three or four yards, so i'd be

690
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: all four just playing some zone, putting speed on the field,

691
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: and you know, and trying to why. I think they'll

692
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: be conservative on defense, I really do, and I think

693
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: they'll probably be predominant zone in the secondary. I don't

694
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: think that they have the cover. Guys, even if you

695
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: wanted to say, well, Jonathan Jones with mccaudy over the top,

696
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: which was a formula they used with some success against

697
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, can you just say, Jalen Mills, you have

698
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, right, I don't think he could do that. No, No,

699
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: And are you traveling guys? You are you? Are you

700
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: having Jonathan Jones follow Tyrek? And may you know like

701
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: like how how does the whole mechanism of it work?

702
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: So you know, I mean I know if I if

703
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: I was Miami, I would use that to our advantage.

704
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: And you know, try to get Jalen Waddle on Mills

705
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: or I mean on Bryant too. You know those two

706
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: guys like just you know, get them opposite sides and

707
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: try to work it that way. What's more? What's more

708
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: important covering well or getting to a you know, office

709
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: rhythm like you know, I just I mean, I think

710
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: it's just getting the offense out of rhythm. And you know,

711
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's maybe this is just stupid, you know,

712
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: basic football talk, but you know, winning the early downs

713
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: and not getting gas for three, four or five yards

714
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: and setting up third and short. Because I think that

715
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: he's really good in those kind of situations. But when

716
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: you get them down into third and long, I don't

717
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: think it's as it's as dangerous as it is when

718
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: they're on time. And you know, no, I know there's

719
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: varying degrees of this. Buffalo could be in third and

720
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: long and it doesn't really matter, but I think it

721
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: does matter for Miami. I agree, it's a big different

722
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Kansas City. Even with that speed. I mean that

723
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: speed has to be a factor of a little catching

724
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: and run for you know, eleven twelve yards on third

725
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: and long. But I think it's it's just the speed

726
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: is a factor. But I think take them out of

727
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: out of things right from the get go. Early downs,

728
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: make them, you know, second and long, third and long,

729
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: force him to make you know, drop back and have

730
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: to play. Take them out of their comfort zone. Um,

731
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: because I think when it's on time, they're really good.

732
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: They seem to have it. They seem to know what

733
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots do, and they're pretty comfortable going against it.

734
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: All right, eight five five past five hundred is the

735
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: a sticket outline. Web radio at Patriots dot com is

736
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: the email address. Let's go to the phones. We'll start

737

Speaker 1: good about anything going into this. And I actually for

744
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,399

Speaker 1: I am a chew Diehard Bomer. Right, I'm here in La,

746
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: and I'm still a pat fan been you know, been

747
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: with the team for years and years and years since

748
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: seventy nine. I see this as the first season in

749
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: a long time that Bill's gonna lose to a to

750
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: a first year head coach. I just I just don't

751
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: see enough from us for his coaching acumen to push us,

752
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, put us above even a game with he

753
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: lost to Josh McDaniel, brand new head coach. He lost

754
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: the map, Patricia, Yeah, I mean last year they were

755
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: five at all against First and didn't he look lose

756
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: to Dable When he was with Cleveland. Dable wasn't the

757
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: head coach, but he was, Yeah, he was first, he

758
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: was Yeah, he was the offensive coordinator. Oh, he's coordinated.

759
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the first year, but yeah, yeah,

760
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean Bill, we should look at Bill's

761
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: record against former players or coaches. Well that's the that's

762
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: the thing that has been that that's been an issue.

763
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not the case here, but he has

764
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: man Jeannie actually beat him a couple of times again

00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: for you guys. Had when was the last time that

790
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: Patriots opened on the road in Miami season opener season

791
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,480

792
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: forth Monday night? Yeah? Maybe? Yeah? Okay? Is that it?

793
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: Is that the answer? I don't know. I was just asking.

794
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: I don't have Okay, I'll look it up. That was

795
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: off the tops, got the media guy in front you,

796
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: I'll look it up. We'll find out for for sure.

797
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: It was actually eleven? Is the game? It was two

798
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: thousand and eleven? Was the game? I was thinking of,

799
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: We'll see if there's any other Miami? Oh wait, fourteen,

800
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen would be the answer. Okay, what was the

801
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: results of that asking? Blasted? Yeah, the national media is

802
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: making a big deal about them going down on today

803
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: to acclimate to the weather. Is this an admission without

804
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: saying it to everybody that Bill has been wrong about

805
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: the weather and then being ready to play down there.

806
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I can see where you say that. I

807
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: reject the premise. You know, Bill Bill Bill will never

808
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: come out and say, oh, whether it's a you know,

809
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't want the players thinking about it, you know,

810
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: in terms of oh it's so hot, but you I

811
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: know that he makes them prepare for it. I know that, like,

812
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: all right, guys, we're going to Miami. It's gonna be hot,

813
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be humid. You've gotta hydrate, you gotta take

814
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: care of your bodies. I know he does that, so

815
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't ignore it, you know, But it is unusual

816
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: that he's going down on a Tuesday for a Sunday game.

817
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: They've never done that before, unless it's no, they've never

818
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: done that before. Um, yeah, I agree, you know, And

819
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: they've gone down Friday for Friday, but never this early.

820
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: And you know, one of the things that you know,

821
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: the media really hasn't picked up on is that there's

822
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: this concert coming in and you know, I think maybe

823
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: Bill wanted to get them out of the stadium because

824
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: remember the Patriots train at the stadium, whereas other teams don't.

825
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: They have a separate facility, and I think he wanted

826
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: to get them out of here while there's a concert

827
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 1: going on with noise and sound checks and people going

828
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: through the tunnel setting up the stage and all that.

829
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: This is an opportunity, you know, and if it helps

830
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: us with the weather as well, well, that's an added

831
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: bonus or vice versa. If if if the you know,

832
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: getting ready for the weather, it gets us out of

833
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: the stadium, so we don't have to deal with the concert.

834
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: That's an added bonus. So I think he looked at

835
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: all that when the concert schedule came out in the

836
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: spring and said, let's do this. But it is funny.

837
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: I agree with Bill. It is because it's a contrast.

838
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: I think there's a contrast to that the weather and

839
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: the contrast to the whole comment that he made last

840
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: week about the September the beginning of the season being

841
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: an extension of the preseason. Like you and I, Fred

842
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: will remember when we had everybody that ever said the

843
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: word Patriots had to where a targeting September t shirt

844
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: back in OZ two in training camp at Bryan. You know,

845
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: it was a huge thing that like getting off to

846
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: a good start now in defensive Bill, I don't think

847
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: when he says September is an extension of the preseason,

848
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: he means I don't care if we win those games, right,

849
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: He means we're still working on what we're going to

850
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: be this season, because we're not a finished product when

851
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: we start the season. We still have to work. The

852
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: games are vitally important. There's the difference between making the

853
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: playoffs and not In some cases, well, I know, there's

854
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: no skipping steps in Bill's philosophy. Every step leads to

855
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: the next step, but there's no skipping any steps. So yes,

856
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: this is just an extension of the next step after

857
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: the preseason. But we're not going to get to November

858
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: before we get through September, and we're not getting you know,

859
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: I did find it interesting listening to you know, I

860
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: think Devin mccordy made the comment about I think an

861
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: EI about you know, there'd be times you're down there

862
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: and you get blasted in the pregame and it's like

863
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: ninety minute pre game and you're already spent. Like those

864
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: are a typical comments coming out of New England. But

865
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: to you a point, Yeah, you talk about the weather,

866
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: you give you give a team an excuse. Oftentimes they'll

867
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: take it. So and this to me is we've used

868
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: it up here when it's cold. This is an admisition

869
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: that the weather is a factor. Yeah, So I did

870
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: find that interesting. Go ahead, Bill, okay, And I mean,

871
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: if there's every year that you had to open with Miami,

872
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: this was the year to have a terrible weather for

873
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: training camp. Because we were there the week of that

874
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: first week of August and it was people were just

875
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: looking at us, going it's cooler in Oklahoma than it

876
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: is here. It was just ridiculous. So maybe that's a

877
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 1: maybe that's help a little bit. But we're also talking

878
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: in the months since then. Yeah, I remember they were

879
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas last week or two weeks ago, so

880
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: that couldn't have hurt in terms of just being ready.

881
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: It is. It's a dry heat, I know, you know, yeah,

882
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: intense heat's been gone for a couple of weeks. Do

883
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: you worry it all about backfiring? Going down there? Early?

884
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: Guys get stale? Yeah, kind of. I think in the

885
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: Vegas trip, the Vegas in the Vegas trip, I think

886
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: by the time they got to the game itself, I

887
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: think guys were just played out. Yeah, you know, I

888
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: mean obviously different with the joint practices and the heat

889
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: out there, But I mean I like the decision. I

890
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: just you know, I don't want to say I don't

891
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: know a mission is right, but how can you ignore

892
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: their performances, you know, just coming off two games ago,

893
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: going down there with it all on the line. I

894
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: don't really like the decision because I don't really understand

895
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: why you need to do something so dramatically different. But

896
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna be like it's not. I

897
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be the reason why they

898
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: lose or win. Like this is one of those things,

899
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, if they win, oh, I know, at what's

900
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: gonna happen? I know every Wednesday work. I know you're

901
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: allowed to give the narratives before something happens. I'm not,

902
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: but that's okay. But you're a thousand percent right. If

903
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: they win, this is gonna be another notch in the

904
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: Belichick belt, like he's stepped chess checkers once again. Um,

905
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: but if they lose, no one's going to do the

906
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: other thing except for like the Felger and mask. Well

907
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: if they if they always go down there and one

908
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: and then they lose, it, say well why just switch

909
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: it up. But if they always lose and they lose,

910
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: now it would be like, well even that didn't work.

911
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that they'll hold it against them that

912
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: they went down early, you know, I mean, it's you

913
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: try it, you give it a shot, you know. Yeah, yeah,

914
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean I just don't understand why, Like I don't know.

915
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: I just think, why wouldn't they ever do it before?

916
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: For any game. I get Miami for any game? Why,

917
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: Like why is I just think that you don't do that?

918
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: Because like why disrupt everything if you don't have to.

919
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: That's why I think it has more to do with

920
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: the content that you talked about anything else, because you

921
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: have to bring It's not just the players and coaches.

922
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: It's the film you know, working the film rooms, it's

923
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: the trainers, it's the you got to bring down your

924
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: whole operation. Um, you know, if you don't have to

925
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: do that, why I do it? You know? So? And

926
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: are you still able to prepare to your maximum effectiveness

927
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: as when you were in here? Does the whole operation

928
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: easily translate or there some things that you can't quite

929
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: bring down there or you know that you don't have

930
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: just because you have permanent cameras on the field here,

931
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, things like that, you know what I mean,

932
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: like analytical things that you use that might not translate

933
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: down there. I wonder that And I do think there's

934
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: part like that, you know that they've gotten more into

935
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, like we talked about the US the kid

936
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: from Detroit, Evan Rothstein. Yeah, uh, the more on the

937
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: analytical side and some of those things. I think that

938
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: Bill has been a little bit more willing to embrace.

939
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: I think that they've also done a lot more with

940
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, the sports science side of it, and you know,

941
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: wh you see the players now, you know it's commonplace.

942
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: You don't even think anything of it. You see the

943
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: little GPS things at training camp, they're they're monitoring more.

944
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: I think Bill is using more of that information. Maybe

945
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: that's you know, you know, we're gonna hydrate, We're gonna

946
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: do this. We have to do this properly. In order

947
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: to get maximum performance, you need to spend X amount

948
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 1: of time. I think Bill has been more than willing

949
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: to accept some of that outside information and try to

950
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: incorporate it. As the years we ever play in Denver again,

951
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave a month early. Am I kind of

952
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: my point? That's kind of my point, Like why all

953
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, am I remembering correctly? Didn't when Maddie

954
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: p was coaching the lines, didn't they have some kind

955
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: of like set up down in Miami that that like

956
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: were like sideline shades that they put up. I think

957
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: I gotta look at so I remember somebody did that. Yeah,

958
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: I think it was. That could be right, It could

959
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: be right. You know, but you're talking about during the game,

960
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: because yeah, I don't think you're allowed to do anything

961
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: in the game in the game that the other team

962
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: can't do or something like that, but they can though No,

963
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: I know, but you can't, like you would have had

964
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: to told Miami we're doing this. Yeah, but I mean

965
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: that's an easy fix with Mike is talking about it,

966
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: and I do kind of remember something like that. I

967
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: think I remember too, Yeah, detroitly, Yeah, it's not a

968
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: bad idea, handhealth canopies. And then Bill Belichick borrowed the

969
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: idea when they went down to Miami as well. Yeah,

970
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: it was it was we should just have the PR

971
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,919
Speaker 1: the PR team whole paracels over over people you little

972
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: fans or tackle somebody. Oh wow, that would help. Like

973
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: you have to play better, especially like on you know,

974
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: last minute kickoff, and that's like like for me, if

975
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: they like if they go down early, you know, not

976
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: that my expectations would be different. But I just don't

977
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: beat yourself. Don't have the stupid mistakes that just showed.

978
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: Like if they eliminate that stuff and they lose, and

979
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: it's all right, they didn't play that sloppy. Probably previewing

980
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: the pre ship pregame show a little bit here, but

981
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: you know, like if you're gonna go down this early

982
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: and stress this kind of preparation, like you better play

983
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: a relatively clean game as far as I see it.

984
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Todd North Carolina. Hey, Todd, Hey guys.

985
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: So Trey on the other show the playbooks saying you

986
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: guys a little bit too negative for the season already?

987
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: Who said that? Trey for Memphis? Oh okay, all right,

988
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: So playing on that and the wonderful post that Douce

989
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: did about the five X factors, Let's turn to something positive.

990
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: How many positive do you think you need to have

991
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: a successful season this year? And I'll give you my answer.

992
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: I think we need about nine four pern offense, four

993
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: in defense, and one, you know, one special teams player

994
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 1: standing out. So if we can get a decent returner

995
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: or something I think that would be that would make

996
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: a successful Well I'll counter that if you have five

997
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: really negatives that'll counteract that was positives. You can you

998
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: need everyone playing well. You can't have one guy making

999
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: a mistake because that ruins the play. So yeah, I

1000
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: don't know, like it's it's a very um metaphysical question

1001
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: that you're asking here, Like, did you mean if you

1002
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: just want to say that most of the team plays

1003
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: decent and you've got how many you know, how many

1004
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: positives do you need total from the team to win

1005
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: the school one? Matt Jones, That's that's a good answer. Yeah,

1006
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: you know, so everybody plays good, but you need get

1007
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: four guys to play great, like really outstanding, Like yeah,

1008
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: better than if everybody else plays good and you have

1009
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: four guys play great, you're gonna win. Right, Yeah, you're

1010
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna okay, So there you go. You don't need four.

1011
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: If everybody plays good and you got a couple of

1012
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: guys play great, you're gonna win. Yeah, Like, no one

1013
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: plays bad in this scenario, you're probably gonna win. So

1014
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: Fred's point like, if you have four guys that play

1015
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: great and five guys that stink, you're gonna lose, right,

1016
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: or even if you have on a given play ten

1017
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: guys play great. You guard back to Bill like, it's

1018
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: you know what, that's something that's what when football great?

1019
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: When Bill, you know, chastised us and said, you know,

1020
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: I know you're all results oriented, but you could have

1021
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, eight or nine guys doing their job. You

1022
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: get one or two that break down that can break

1023
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: down the play absolutely right. Just like just like I

1024
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: don't want to be results oriented when I talk about

1025
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,479
Speaker 1: if they go down on Tuesday and they win the game,

1026
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: that that's very results oriented. So I'm not I'm not

1027
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: ready to say that's the reason why you won the game. Listen,

1028
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,479
Speaker 1: if those four guys you say, Todd are playing great,

1029
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: make our are all pros? Patriots are gonna have a

1030
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: good season, you know if they I would love some

1031
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: all pros, Thanks Todd. Yeah. Friends, Like it's very metaphysical,

1032
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: like the philosophy Chris with a T, I A N.

1033
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: What's up, Christian? Everybody doing good? How are you doing well?

1034
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: If you want to play all right? Underwear overwear over

1035
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: the amount of players needed to play at an all

1036
00:49:52,360 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: pro level, Josh who say, think and a half sacked

1037
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,479
Speaker 1: over under in this game. I'm gonna take the over

1038
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: on that. What do you have like five and a

1039
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: half last year, Josh Oush, I'm gonna say over on that,

1040
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say under, I'll be positive, I'll go I'll

1041
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: go over. I'm going out time to be in the

1042
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: lone voice of positivity on this show, Christian Bomber are

1043
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: sacked four and a half over under. I'm gonna take

1044
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: the under on that one too. Yeah, he's not a

1045
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: sack man. He makes other people better. He's gonna allow

1046
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: others to get sacked. I'll buy that. I'll buy that,

1047
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: all right. Jalen Mills picks three and a half over over. Ah,

1048
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under. I don't think he's I think

1049
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: he's a solid corner, I don't know if he's a

1050
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: ball hawk though. All right. Offense, Smack Jones T D

1051
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: passes twenty five over over. Yeah, I'll go over. Hopefully.

1052
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker TD catches eight. I'm gonna say under. I'll

1053
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: say under only had three sacks last year, so I'll

1054
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: still so I'll stick with you. I'm generally positive, so

1055
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: i'll stick with you over. I'm gonna go eight on Parker.

1056
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: I think he's yeah, Biggs target. I'll take the under

1057
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:20,879

1208
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: are never content with simply being good, not when they

1209
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: can be great. But it takes a big step to

1210
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: get there. In fact, it takes a leap of faith,

1211
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: a belief in what you're striving toward, and a willingness

1212
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: to make the commitment. Day in and day out to

1231
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean pretty much such a good point there. I

1232
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: don't know why I haven't any of his points start argue.

1233
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: We don't know it, but Paul goes home. He's a

1234
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: chain smoker, just like one after another. Can a guy

1235
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: get all light value safe home, Honey, I'd rather fight

1236
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: than switch. That's another great moment from all right back

Speaker 1: Always wanted to just shout out to you guys for

1243
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: dropping amazing content. It just wanted to shout out specifically

1244
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: to Paul Parillo. There are a lot of donkeys out

1245
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: there in the media, and I'm one of them, and

1246
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: some guys really don't have any idea what they're talking about.

1247
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Paul is like a Patriots encyclopedia of knowledge, and it's

1248
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: always great to hear him share his insights and his perspective.

1249
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: Just wanted to say thank you for all that you

1250
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: guys do, and keep up the great work. And ps,

1251
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: why does no one bring up the awful drafts from

1252
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: six to oh nine? I'm gonna look that up right

1253
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: now so we can that's good familiarize ourselves. What was

1254
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,919
Speaker 1: that emailer's name? Dorian? Thank you very much. I really thought,

1255
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not lying, I really thought that was going

1256
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: to take a turn a much different turns. There are

1257
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: a lot of donkeys out there, and all of them

1258
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: is an ass. You my friend one of them, who

1259
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: was the nice gentleman that we met yesterday while I

1260
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: figured what his name was, but a fan of the show,

1261
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: fan of the show came up, came up to us

1262
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: in the middle of us. Oh, yeah, you guys were

1263
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: over at the between yesterday morning taping your first episode

1264
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: of Patriots Unfiltered going on TV thirty eight. He came up.

1265
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: He was like are you Are you Paul Perilla? Of

1266
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: course he is, and and he's like this is Mike,

1267
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: and I like Hi, how are you doing? And then

1268
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: then like conversation regressing them. Paul was like, no, that's deuced,

1269
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: that's the oh Deuce, like he knew me as I

1270
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: should say, I should say hello to Mike, and he

1271
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: was like, hey, how you doing. I go, that's Deuce.

1272
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: He's like, douce, Like he didn't know Mike. He knew, Deuce. Yeah, yeah,

1273
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I told you the Raiders story I had, right. So

1274
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm at We're at the game for the preseason. After

1275
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: the game, I'm on the elevator. Elevator opens up. This

1276
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: guy in like all Raiders gear, and you know, a

1277
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 1: big camera comes on. He's obviously one of their in

1278
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: game camera people, and he's like, PFW, you never never

1279
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: missed a show, and like you listen, he goes, hey,

1280
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: they just pay me here. So that was good. They were.

1281
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: They were wonderful out there. Good conversation was the number

1282
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: of Raiders employees. So the let's here the listener is

1283
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: is largely accurate. Those were. That was an underrated bad stretch.

1284
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: Two thousand and six, Maroni, Chad Jackson, Dave Thomas, Garrett Mills.

1285
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: First four picks, they got Gaskowski. You know, that's a

1286
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: good thing, although I would say sign him as an

1287
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:15,959
Speaker 1: undrafted Murkie, Um, Ryan O'Callahan, Jeremy Mincy, Dan Stevenson, League

1288
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Evans Smith, and Willie Andrews. So Mostowski is the only

1289
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: productive member of that class. Oh seven, Brandon Merriweather, Kareem Brown,

1290
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: Clint Oldenburg, Justin Rodgers, Mike Richardson, just East, Hairston, Corey Hilliard,

1291
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Oscar Lua and Mike Elgin. Wow. So really, Merryweather is

1292
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: the only productive member of that class, And there you

1293
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: could argue how productive he was not worth the first

1294
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight Gerard Mayo, Terrence Wheatley, Shawn Crable,

1295
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, Jonathan Willhight, Matthew Slater, bo rude. So you

1296
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: got Mayo and will Height was a productive player for them,

1297
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: and Slater obviously has been a stalwart. Again, I would say, Slater, Mike,

1298
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: where do you get those guys? Sign him as undrafted

1299
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: creations didn't even have a position in college. So Mayo,

1300
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, Mayo makes because he was he was a

1301
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: top ten pick. He was a good player. Two thousand

1302
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: and nine, Patrick Chung, Ron Brace, Darius Butler, Sebastian Volmer,

1303
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Tate, Tyrone, Mackenzie, rich Enburger, George Bussey, Jake Ingram,

1304
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Myron Pryor, Julian Edelman, Darryl Richard. Well that was okay.

1305
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: This one's a little bit more now. This was also

1306
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: a volume draft. So you get chung Um, Volmer excellent,

1307
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: and then you get Edelman down the end. Um So

1308
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: that one's a little bit better, but that's four years

1309
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: of man. Now who is in charge of the room then,

1310
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, besides Bill, who was that Bill Belichick? I

1311
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: know the guy, but who's in his ear? You know,

1312
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Was Peoli's still here for part of that?

1313
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: He was probably here six and seven. Did he go

1314
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: on a eight with with Castle and all that with

1315
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: his that after m Yeah, I think like, I think

1316
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: it's an interesting study because I think it tracks to

1317
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: what we're experiencing now. And then you look at like

1318
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: O eight, nine, ten, that defense was turning over all

1319
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: these older guys leaving. You can see the plan Merriweather

1320
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Chung trying to replace Harrison and those back end guys.

1321
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: But then you look at like those nine and ten

1322
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: teams where you were Derek Burgess or you know, somehow

1323
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: you got Rob Nikovich, the you know, backup long snapper

1324
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: from New Orleans emerged as a defensive end for you.

1325
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:35,919
Speaker 1: I just think that, you know, well, that's that's the six, seven,

1326
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: and eight. Poli was here for all three of those.

1327
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: That was last year was eight, Yeah, So I mean

1328
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: I think it's just the tracks now when you look

1329
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: at the fifteen sixteen, seventeen, those drafts, and then you

1330
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: know it comes back to roost and then you're not

1331
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: replacing the pipeline. And you know the defense was they

1332
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: made the Super Bowl and eleven, but they were you know,

1333
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: probably among the worst defenses that that they've ever fielded

1334
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: here in twenty even. I mean two things. Number One,

1335
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: I think we've seen that it doesn't really matter what

1336
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: the other fifty two are when you have trading. But also,

1337
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: more importantly for this one and less snarky, is you

1338
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: did have an excellent draft in ten. You know you

1339
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: ended up getting mccordy, right, mccordy was that draft or

1340
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: was that so you got mccordy, Gronk and Hernandez like right,

1341
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: they all were immediately good. Yeah, yeah, game changer. Let's

1342
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: see Tony Wright saying, I wish the Patriots were one

1343
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: of the top seven teams in the AFC, But objectively,

1344
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can argue that. To contend

1345
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: otherwise would involve a long list of ifs eight and

1346
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: nine seems to be about the best we in Patriots

1347
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: Nation can hope for the team just doesn't have the

1348
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: talent to contend. What worries me is that they will

1349
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: be just good enough to draft fourteenth or fifteenth instead

1350
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: of eighth or ninth. Yeah, I mean these people that

1351
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 1: are you know, these lists come out, and these people

1352
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 1: that are bemoaning the fact that the Patriots are behind

1353
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: teams like the Colts in Miami. They have to prove

1354
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: they're better before you can put them above that list. Now,

1355
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: they might end up being this year better, but well,

1356
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, in particular with three and oh against the

1357
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Patriots exactly, That's what I'm saying. So right now the

1358
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: Patriots are behind them and then oh, I thought you

1359
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: were saying the other No, no, no, why I'm saying

1360
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: they're better than the Patriots right now? The Patriots have

1361
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: to prove right now. So like these preseason lists where

1362
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,839
Speaker 1: your pencil and the Patriots, you can't do that anymore.

1363
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: You have to base it on what they've done lately.

1364
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: And the Colts man handled them and they added Matt Ryan,

1365
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: right you know, and and now and Miami beat them twice,

1366
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: so like, how can you put the Patriots ahead of them?

1367
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that you know those lists are wrong, but

1368
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: I could I mean, you could say, well, you know,

1369
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: despite losing to them, they finished with a better record

1370
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: than them. Yeah, but I understand and what you're saying. Yeah,

1371
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: I think that if I had to say, gun to

1372
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: my head, what the better team is, what the better

1373
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: roster is, I would say both the Colts in Miami

1374
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,640
Speaker 1: have more talent. But I don't think those two are

1375
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: egregious if a Patriots fan wants to tell me why

1376
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: they're better than what coaching largely. Okay, so last year

1377
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Flores was that much better than Bill. No, I'm just

1378
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: saying that's that's your argument, I know, But like I'm

1379
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: trying to be Devil's advocate on the Patriots side. No,

1380
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: I know you aren't. But I know it's like you know,

1381
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: and and I'm always doing. I'm always a glass half

1382
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: full Sunshine dot Com guy when it comes to the Patriots.

1383
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,959
Speaker 1: But even I have to admit right now the Patriots

1384
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: are improve it mode. I mean, do you think Mac

1385
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: Jones is better than Tuah? I don't know. See, I

1386
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: think you can make an argument Mac Jones is better

1387
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: than Tuah. I think. I don't think you have to

1388
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: like twist yourself into a not to do that. I mean,

1389
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: typically I can say that. I think I think Mac

1390
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,640
Speaker 1: Jones is going to be better than Tuah. I think

1391
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: Two is more in tune with what his offensive system

1392
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: is and who he is as a pro, even given

1393
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 1: his warts, which he certainly has. I just I think

1394
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: he is probably at this point much more comfortable in

1395
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: what they're doing and what they want to do than Macie.

1396
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 1: And I don't even mean that as a slight to

1397
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 1: like the offensive turnover. It's just seems like the Patriots

1398
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: are kind of still trying to figure out what they do,

1399
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: and too sounds like he knows what he can do.

1400
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: That's the thing like in this game, in this particular game,

1401
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: it might look like Two was the better quarterback, even

1402
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: though long long range maybe Mac ends up being better.

1403
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: But well, I mean I think that they're in very

1404
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: similar spots in their careers. Yeah, I mean, I know

1405
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: that Two has been in the league a year longer,

1406
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: he hasn't really played that many more games because of injuries.

1407
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: If Tua looks better on Sunday, it's time for people

1408
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: like me to stop saying how much better Mac is

1409
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:52,719
Speaker 1: than Tah. Yeah. Uh, let's go to the A sticket

1410
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: hot line five five five hundred, Shawn's in Vancouver. What's up, Sean,

1411
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm wondering about the active roster. I heard that the

1412
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: Bourdon was put on a short term. I r on

1413
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 1: the first and is there's someone the Patriots of too

1414
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 1: take that fifty thirds to pump? Not yet? Not yet.

1415
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: I mean they can they can promote somebody for sure,

1416
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: but I think they still have an open spot. So

1417
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe one of those one of those receivers that they have,

1418
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: like Little Jordan or Nixon or somebody might get bumped. Right. Okay, thanks, well,

1419
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 1: I have a great one to speak to Thursday. Okay, wow,

1420
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: thanks short and sweet. It's a quick question from Sean.

1421
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: How about Nick and Manchester Metaphysical? What's up Nick? It's Manchester, UK,

1422
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: by the way. Hi guys, Hello, Um, I'm looking at

1423
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: the sad jill that we've got in the initial four

1424
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: week first four week? Do we get out one and three,

1425
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: two and two? Maybe I would take two and two

1426
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: if they could somehow get it. Yeah, I don't think

1427
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: it'll be easy. Yeah, I'd take four and oath. I

1428
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a great it's a great first

1429
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 1: four test. I really do you get different types of teams? Yep? Yeah,

1430
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: if we can get into that week five, maybe two

1431
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: and two or one and three. I can rarely see

1432
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: us going week five through twelve with maybe only the cults.

1433
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: But you know, listen, if we come out of the

1434
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: first four two and two, I'm gonna be happy. Yeah,

1435
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be happy. I'm gonna be like, Okay, we

1436
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: can compete. It's the only thing that I'm gonna say

1437
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: is I'm not gonna look at games against teams like

1438
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 1: you know right now things can change based on what

1439
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: I see the first month, But I'm not gonna look

1440
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: at games against teams like Detroit and say there's no

1441
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: way they can lose that game. Oh, I'm not gonna

1442
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: say that, right like I would, you know, against the

1443
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Jets or against Jacksonville, like I can change if they

1444
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: go out and they go three and one and these

1445
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: like I think, to me, the the at Green Bay

1446
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: game is the one that stands out, is like, that's

1447
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: gonna be really tough to win. Okay, the Miami and

1448
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh games against comparable teams as you, you should have

1449
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: a chance to win those games. Right, Baltimore at home,

1450
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: maybe you have a chance to win that game too.

1451
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: I think they're better than you, But at home. You

1452
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: should have a chance to compete home opener. You get that,

1453
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, especially if they have some success in the

1454
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: first two weeks. But Green Bay is the one that

1455
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: really stands out. The real test to me is late

1456
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 1: in the year when it's Buffalo twice in Cincinnati. You

1457
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 1: know those teams, you know, the Raiders, the car you know,

1458
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders, Cardinals Trip. Yeah, you could's gonna be tough.

1459
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: You could see a little bit of a repeat the

1460
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: last year, and that some of those games in the

1461
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 1: middle you mentioned the Lions, thinks and the Lions and

1462
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: Bears and Browns, you know that little chunk. You know,

1463
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: if they're able to hold the fort here and go

1464
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: two and two, say in the middle, three and one whatever.

1465
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: But you know, and then you beat those bad teams

1466
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 1: and then you get to the bye week and maybe

1467
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: maybe you knock off. If they go three and one,

1468
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: then that's different because now we're looking at the team

1469
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 1: much different than we thought they were. But I would

1470
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: look at that and say, last year they went seven

1471
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,719
Speaker 1: to o win that stretch. I don't see that happening

1472
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: this year against those teams even and Mike is right,

1473
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, Chica, I think it's Detroit, Chicago, the Jets,

1474
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. I don't think they'll win all four of

1475
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: those games. I don't could this year's Patriots team beat

1476
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: last year's Patriots team? I think I think the question

1477
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: for that is at the end of the year, like

1478
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 1: can the end of the year year, Well, at the

1479
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 1: end of the year, they could, because they were playing

1480
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: terrible right now. I don't think they would have beaten

1481
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: the team that played like the Chargers. Yeah, but if

1482
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: you want to say they worst game, I don't know.

1483
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 1: They played Buffalo. I don't know. I don't know for

1484
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: different reasons. I think last year's team constunk and I

1485
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: think this year's team has I don't think there is

1486
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 1: talented on paper as they were last year. Yeah, I

1487
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I think the offense has

1488
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: a chance to be better because of natural progression. It's

1489
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: mostly the same guys in the second year in the system. Yeah,

1490
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: I know that they I know they have Davante Adams.

1491
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: They have they Now everybody goes into a slot like

1492
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,799
Speaker 1: do you think the other team is looking at DeVante

1493
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Parker and like saying, well that that that's the guy

1494
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 1: we got to take out of the game. No, but

1495
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 1: I think that he's an added element they didn't have.

1496
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: I think he's better, that's correct. Yeah, he's better than

1497
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: the kill Harry something. So that makes them the other

1498
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 1: the others are back, and he's better than Harry. That's

1499
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,560
Speaker 1: why I just think, Like for me, people are always like,

1500
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: what's your prediction, how do you think it's gonna Like

1501
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: just the thing that I just need is for them

1502
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: to improve and to be playing their best football at

1503
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: the end of the year. And if they don't make

1504
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they they feel like they've found something,

1505
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 1: they're on track and it's gotten better, I'll feel like,

1506
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: all right, maybe we have something here that we can

1507
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 1: build off of. If it happens again where they put

1508
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: in this whole new offense, they go a whole season

1509
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: and again it all just falls on its face the

1510
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: last four games. And that's for four seasons. The end

1511
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: the season saying can you do If you end the

1512
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: season and it's evident that if we just add this,

1513
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: this and this will be a contender, then that's where

1514
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: you want to What do you say, Hey, we got

1515
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: some cap space, we're gonna you know, we're gonna let

1516
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:02,600
Speaker 1: Agalore go. Now, he's his contracts up. Let's you know,

1517
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,560
Speaker 1: rejigger some of it here and there. Well, you know,

1518
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: I mean you'll have stuff to You'll have some money

1519
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: next year, right like you'll have some You have money.

1520
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see if they spend it, but you

1521
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: have it. See if Bill wants to, you know, give

1522
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: out a contract to somebody with ability, all right to

1523
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: go against him? Thanks for the call, um, John from

1524
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: where is he from? Wisconsin? Why should I be excited

1525
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: for the game on Sunday? He asks you, guys, the

1526
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: first game of the season. If you're not excited, now,

1527
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 1: what do we do? You guys started off the show

1528
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,600
Speaker 1: saying you don't know what to expect, but then have

1529
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: spent the whole next half hour saying how behind the

1530
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 1: Patriots are compared to Miami, how slow and small the

1531
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: defense is, and how our offense might look worse than

1532
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: it did under Cam. Can we stop that for a second.

1533
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: I've said that I want to attack these things. No

1534
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,879
Speaker 1: one ever said the Patriots are slow. No, the Patriots,

1535
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: I think Bill Belichick worked really hard to improve the

1536
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: was when you're trying to stop the run and you've

1537
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: been playing small to stop the pass correct what happens

1538
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: when you do that, But that's the same with speed. Yeah,

1539
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: that has you are putting words in our mouth, Johnny,

1540
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: and I also I don't, I don't recall, and you

1541
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: correct me, Mike, because you remember this stuff. Did anybody

1542
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: say Miami's way ahead of the Patriots? No, like he

1543
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: spent that. I said, I said, based on last year,

1544
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: you couldn't put them ahead on a list. But it's close,

1545
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: and I'm hope by wrong. But he says, so please

1546
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 1: give me a glimmer of hope here, gentlemen, Why should

1547
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:33,640
Speaker 1: I be hopeful and watch on Sunday? You really just

1548
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: not watch football after like spending the whole offseason. You're

1549
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: just your own depression. Well, I think I'm not even

1550
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna watch it, of course not. And I know he's exaggerating.

1551
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily ripping apart everywhere. But I the one

1552
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: thing that does kind of bug me when people do

1553
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: these things, because yeah, sometimes we can say I don't know,

1554
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Miami looks like that better, and that can be portrayed

1555
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: as being negative. Okay, I get that, but no one

1556
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: ever said Miami's way ahead of the Patriots. No one

1557
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 1: ever said the Patriots are slow, Like, these are things

1558
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: that the three of us never said during the first

1559
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 1: hour and twenty minutes here. So sometimes we just said

1560
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: me in particular, I say a lot of dumb things.

1561
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm snarky at times. Sometimes I just like exaggerate to

1562
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: make a point, so I says some things that can

1563
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: come back and haunt me. I never said those things.

1564
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: I say enough stupid things. I didn't say that they

1565
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: were slow. My thing is, I started the show saying,

1566
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I don't know what I've been seeing all preseason.

1567
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that what I'm seeing is just preseason. It's

1568
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: just not going to be the same once the games

1569
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: start and they start game planning for teams and matching

1570
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: up and all that stuff, and we see something totally

1571
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: different than, you know, what we saw most of the summer,

1572
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: like a glimmer of hope. What if, you know, and

1573
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: obviously both teams are game playing teams. Bill talked about

1574
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: that a little bit this week too, But what if

1575
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots come out in their game plan just completely

1576
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: catches Miami off guard and it works. And on the

1577
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: flip side, whatever Miami sides to attack the Patriots with

1578
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: is something the Patriots were absolutely expecting and their defensive

1579
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: game plan is perfect for it, right like and they will.

1580
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: Belichick has done that a million times in his career. Yeah,

1581
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I'm saying, Like a reason,

1582
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, a glimmer of hope. You have the best

1583
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: coach ever right formulating the game plan heading into the opener.

1584
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: That's the glimmer of hope for me, it is, And

1585
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 1: I mean I think you're just you're so used to

1586
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: being AFC championship or bust and it's it's all gonna

1587
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: definitely work out. Like there's an element unknown this year

1588
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: for sure, and everything that we said were facts, like

1589
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: Miami's performance against the Patriots in recent games, those are facts.

1590
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: That's not my opinion that Miami kicked their ass last

1591
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: year in Week eighteen like they did. So it's just

1592
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: being realistic about, you know, what they have to overcome,

1593
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: and I think that they anybody. I think at this

1594
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: point of the preseason, you put down all these narratives

1595
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: and everything that you've come to believe about what's going

1596
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:55,639
Speaker 1: to happen, and you just let it happen and see

1597
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 1: because it's going to be different than what any of

1598
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: us are perfect. Yeah, it's gonna be things in there.

1599
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: Like you said, Deuce, You're gonna be pointing at the team.

1600
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: It's like, I didn't expect that, I know, right, that's

1601
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean. I just think there's thirty two teams out

1602
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: there and they have varying degrees of expectations. But I

1603
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: would I would hope the pure fans of all thirty

1604
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: two teams are excited to finally you know, watch to me,

1605
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,839
Speaker 1: I didn't expect will be this success. Like I'm expecting

1606
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: them to try to run the ball, but they haven't

1607
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: done it really well. So if, like reminder, Stevenson runs

1608
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty yards and averages like five

1609
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: yards to carry, I'm not expecting that, right, But I'm

1610
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: expecting the Patriots to run the ball better than they

1611
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 1: did in the preseason. And I actually gave them the

1612
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 1: edge when they run the ball because I just can't

1613
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 1: imagine they're going to be as bad running the football.

1614
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:44,719
Speaker 1: This is what they did best last year. I can't

1615
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 1: imagine they're going to be that bad running the football

1616
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: when it when it counts Skyland Schenectady, I was worried

1617
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 1: about the durability of Tykewon Thornton. So I started watching

1618
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 1: clips of his of the play he got injured on,

1619
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: and I can't help but noticing that, despite the swarm

1620
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: of Panthers players, is cold strange tackling the pile at

1621
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: the end that makes the play look brutal. I normally

1622
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: do not pay attention to O line play, but should have.

1623
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,680
Speaker 1: But should he have been anywhere near that play let

1624
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: alone taking the pile to the ground. I've noticed that too,

1625
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 1: A cold strange. He's definitely late guy into the scrum

1626
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 1: and it's gonna get penalties. Yeah, what's gonna happen. It's

1627
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: it's a little little loosey goosey, I think, but he

1628
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: certainly plays with a little bit of a little bit

1629
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: of that edge that you like Russell and Arkansaw. Since

1630
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 1: they created a little more cap space with the John

1631
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 1: New contract restructure thing, could we see a veteran receiver

1632
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: get brought in like ob J or someone else. I

1633
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: only use ob J because I think you could get

1634
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,719
Speaker 1: him on a one year deal for pretty cheap. Also,

1635
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 1: was catching up to the show on Friday and forgot

1636
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 1: that I wasn't listening live, and I sent like three

1637
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: emails pertaining to the show. Yes, I felt like a

1638
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: real Dumbassum. I don't I would be surprised with Obi

1639
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 1: ja Um. I know there was a report this week

1640
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: about the Rams and they're doing like the the Patriots

1641
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: thing like they have. His locker was all intact in

1642
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: la Um. But the um who was the first part

1643
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 1: of that cap space the cap space JOHNU. Smith? What

1644
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: did you feel about the John O. Smith move in general?

1645
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm just curious what you guys thought of it. I

1646
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 1: want to see if if I'm missing something. But they

1647
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: basically Fred they converted you know, paragraph five said his

1648
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: base salary, they converted to bonus. So he gets it

1649
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: up front. The Patriots are able to spread the cap

1650
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: hit or you know, you know a little bit. It

1651
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: gives him cap space. Just another cap clarice, bookkeeping. It's claric,

1652
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: it's a clarticle. It's not Okay, do you think it

1653
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 1: has anything to do with anything in the future. It's

1654
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: giving you more cap relief for the season. Well yeah, yeah, right,

1655
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,560
Speaker 1: it's like making us a little bit more flexible in

1656
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: case something does come about. Okay, So I saw and

1657
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: again I hate when I forget who did it, because

1658
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't get to blame slash credit somebody. This is

1659
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: a clear sign that it's not just about this year.

1660
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 1: It's about you know, Bills invested in the future of

1661
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: this team too. And I'm like, now, by raising the

1662
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: cap number of a guy who's probably if he doesn't

1663
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 1: play well this year, not going to be part of

1664
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: your future, it's not planning for the future. No, Yeah,

1665
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: this was you need more cash flow in the event

1666
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 1: that you need the money this year injuries, transactions, whatnot.

1667
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: I didn't even see it as an atta boy to

1668
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,640
Speaker 1: Smith to give it no, like I know, I just

1669
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: saw it as like he doesn't get anything out of

1670
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 1: it except for that he gets the money up front.

1671
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 1: That's it, right, right, It's it's you know they did

1672
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, that's why it's good for the player. Yeah,

1673
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: as much talk about like you know, Brady taking less that,

1674
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: they did that a lot with Brady too. They gave

1675
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: him more money up front and extended his coming. Yeah,

1676
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: those are much bigger. You got thirty million up front.

1677
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: But that's just like, it's just this is when we

1678
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 1: talk about the cap being crap, Like you can always

1679
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: find one of these contracts and if you're willing to

1680
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 1: bump the cap space a little bit, move a little

1681
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: money up. I saw a chart. I think it was

1682
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: the guy Jason there for over the cap. I think

1683
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 1: I saw him um and he had the list of

1684
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: cap space available. You remember some of those numbers the

1685
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: Patriots were like twenty ninth. They're up to like eighth,

1686
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: eighth or ninth, just like that, just by making moves

1687
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 1: on a napkin. As Felger likes to say, Um, Neil

1688
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 1: from New Brunswick, Well, it's that time of year where

1689
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 1: we have to go out on a limb and make

1690
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 1: a prediction. I hope I'm way off, but I'm going

1691
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 1: to predict six and eleven. I personally have said many

1692
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 1: times I don't have confidence in GM Bill. I think

1693
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 1: this is the year GM Bill's performance finally catches up

1694
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: with Coach Bill. It could be a long season for

1695
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: you guys, dealing with increasing frustrated fans. I love to

1696
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: hear what other callers and emailers, and also what our

1697
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: hosts believe our final record will be. Nobody's willing to

1698
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: go below six, That's what I found. No predictions willing

1699
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 1: to go No one's willing to go to five. I'm

1700
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna go nine and eight. I'm still just kind of

1701
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,680
Speaker 1: sticking right there. I think they'll fall just short of

1702
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think like eight, I could see, I

1703
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: could see nine. Best case scenario, I'll go eight something.

1704
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean I said early and I'm sticking with it

1705
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: because I haven't seen anything to move me off this

1706
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: spot eight and nine, you know, but I can you

1707
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 1: know after week four I'll adjust that again up or down.

1708
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:53,759
Speaker 1: Let's see Philippe from Brazil. After all the summer training

1709
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:57,679
Speaker 1: and joint practices, something caught my eye. Almost every single

1710
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 1: team in the league has a star slash powerhouse in

1711
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: at least one position. Do you have any idea when

1712
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 1: will have a top player in any position? Again, anyone

1713
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: within the roster with that potential, I don't quite see it,

1714
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 1: even with our best young players like bomb War who

1715
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: was far behind the likes of Aaron Donald. To be honest,

1716
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: we had j. C. Jackson last year, but as soon

1717
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: as he was good, he was out the door and

1718
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: put please do not put Jake Bailey on that. I mean,

1719
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 1: it's there's no question they need they need star players,

1720
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 1: they need playmakers, they need new guys that are going

1721
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 1: to step up but i'd also, you know, compare it

1722
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 1: to back when we're talking about nine ten. All of

1723
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: a sudden you get gron Hernandez mccordy. A couple years later,

1724
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: you get Chandler Jones and Dante Hi time. You know,

1725
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,600
Speaker 1: it can happen quick if you get those players. But

1726
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, who has potential? I mean, I think you know,

1727
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: he mentioned Bomber, Bomber has the potential. I think Dugger

1728
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 1: has the potential to be a real strong safety in

1729
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 1: this league, like a real star. I'm sure. I'm not sure. Okay,

1730
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he'll be fine, but I'm

1731
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: not sure he has the potential to be the best

1732
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: in the league. At that point, I didn't say the best. Well,

1733
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for, a powerhouse at that position. Okay,

1734
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 1: Like he said, Barmore is really good, but he doesn't

1735
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 1: see he's so asked well behind Aaron Donald, So you're

1736
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: comparing him to the very best in the league. To

1737
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,679
Speaker 1: Mike's point, Gronk two years into his career was among

1738
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: the very best, if not the very best, tight end.

1739
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 1: Ye right away? Ye, Like, that's what you're looking for.

1740
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: And I think Mike makes a good point. That's how

1741
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: you have to do it. You have to you have

1742
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 1: to find these these guys and they have to pan

1743
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: out in the draft because I'm very skeptical that they're

1744
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 1: going to go out. Look, they did it with Stefan Gilmour,

1745
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 1: like they identified a guy in the market, Bill gave

1746
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: him a boatload of money, brought him in and he

1747
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: immediately was in. That that conversation is one of the

1748
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: best three corners in football. Not many others of those

1749
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 1: where you went out and you spent a boatload of

1750
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: money on a guy that everybody wanted and you set

1751
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: the market like, there's just not that many examps. They've

1752
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 1: spent money in free agency. I'm not saying they don't.

1753
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,640
Speaker 1: They do, But I'm talking about if Davante Adams was

1754
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 1: available next year and you lost say Born aglor and Myers.

1755
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: Do you think the Patriots would go out and do

1756
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: what they what the Raiders did for Davante Adams. I

1757
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 1: wish they would. No, that's what like to get that

1758
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: kind of player, I think a power A power. No,

1759
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 1: I didn't, I didn't say that. You had to say

1760
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 1: with absolute said do you think they would do that?

1761
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 1: My guess is they wouldn't. I don't think Bill believes

1762
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: in it, especially at positions like that. Yeah, I think that,

1763
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: like if T. J. Watt were available next year, are

1764
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 1: they going to give him one hundred and twenty million

1765
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 1: dollar contract? Like? And I know that I'm just using

1766
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: is I'm not talking about practicality. I'm trying to target

1767
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:53,880
Speaker 1: the best player in the league at a position is

1768
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: available to anybody, and you're gonna outbid everybody. I don't

1769
01:29:57,760 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 1: think Bill does that very often. He did it with

1770
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: with Gilmore. He was a great cornerback in Buffalo. He

1771
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 1: was a really good cornerback in Buffalo. I thought he

1772
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 1: became a great one here with Bill coaching him. To

1773
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: be honest with you, but he I mean, there was

1774
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 1: a lot of money. That was a big free agent

1775
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:16,759
Speaker 1: contract at the time. He was the highest paid corner

1776
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: in football when Bill signed him. So I'm not going

1777
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 1: to tell you he'll never do it, because he has.

1778
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 1: He did it with A Dalis Thomas, although I don't

1779
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:25,960
Speaker 1: think A Dalis Thomas was ever that player. Right. Well,

1780
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting, Paul, because I would you know in

1781
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 1: those in those instances, you could say, well, they had

1782
01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:32,679
Speaker 1: Brady and they were a player away, correct, because they're

1783
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 1: not a player away right now? Correct. It's like, how

1784
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 1: do you do it? How do you You don't really

1785
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: know Bill outside of this, Like you know, can he

1786
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 1: go and get a tent pole guy? Because if you

1787
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:43,599
Speaker 1: were going to do it, it probably would have been

1788
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: in that group in twenty twenty one when you went

1789
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: out and got that huge class, and those guys weren't

1790
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 1: tent pole guys. Even if you convinced yourself that John

1791
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 1: they signed. They signed some good players for good money

1792
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: and but with no competition that year, correct, it was

1793
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 1: it was they didn't really have to. I mean all

1794
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 1: that commissions were favorable by it ends too like they

1795
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:04,640
Speaker 1: gave a lot of money too, But like would they

1796
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 1: do you know, do you think they would win a

1797
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:11,320
Speaker 1: bidding war for like George Kittle, you know if he

1798
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 1: was at the same time, if I'm advising Bill, I'm

1799
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna say you're seventy, go spend the money and get

1800
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: the guy, like you don't have time to draft, you know,

1801
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 1: Like so I I'm the king of the capta, I

1802
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 1: would absolutely I would do that in a blink. But

1803
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:28,559
Speaker 1: if you I would go out and get the best players.

1804
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 1: But if you're serious about the like the Shula thing

1805
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, like like there's no other choice,

1806
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: Like you have to go do it. You can't sit

1807
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: around and wait for Taekwon Thornton in year four to bump.

1808
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 1: And you know, like I think the other the other

1809
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 1: part of that is, and we're two years away from this,

1810
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 1: but what do you think mac Jones is gonna get?

1811
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 1: And do you think Bill Belichick is gonna want to

1812
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: give it to him? Because if if he turned, let's

1813
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,640
Speaker 1: let's just say he has a year this year and

1814
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 1: a year next year that are the logical a little better,

1815
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 1: a little better. So he makes a grat I'm not

1816
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 1: talking he explodes. I'm talking he's gradually improved. After year three,

1817
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:09,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna want a contract, right, and that contract is

1818
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 1: going to be in the ballpark of thirty five million

1819
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 1: dollars a year. And I'm just talking about he's good,

1820
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 1: if he's great, bump that number up. Do you think

1821
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 1: Bill wants to do that? No? But I'm thinking I

1822
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 1: have a feeling that Mack will take whatever they offer

1823
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 1: because I think the opposite, I think the total opposite.

1824
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm watching mac Jones do press conferences and having to

1825
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: talk about his coaches constantly, and I think he's thinking

1826
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: to himself, price is going up, baby, price is going

1827
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 1: up every day. That's the way I look at it.

1828
01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna give me another contract. Absolutely? Absolutely. I don't

1829
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 1: need to see the night. It's so funny how we

1830
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 1: look at the same thing and have such a different opinion. Stuff. Okay,

1831
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:47,840
Speaker 1: I know, well, I just look at Mac. I don't

1832
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:49,720
Speaker 1: know they coaches. I don't think quarterbacks should have to

1833
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 1: like compliment their coaches for staying until two o'clock in

1834
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 1: the morning and working really hard and and being brilliant

1835
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 1: and stuff. I don't think you should have to do

1836
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 1: that as a coach as a quarterback, especially a young one.

1837
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 1: And if I were him, I would say, yeah, I'll

1838
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: do it. I'll do this. You want to give me

1839
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator calling plays, I'll do it. It's gonna

1840
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 1: cost you, though, I can go somewhere with a guy

1841
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: who actually coaches offense is calling the plays for me.

1842
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:16,160
Speaker 1: David and Maine says, help us, Mac Jones, Kenobi, you're

1843
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 1: our only hope. That's a Star Wars reference. Paul. Thanks.

1844
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 1: Greg Badard was on one of Paul's shows and made

1845
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 1: the statement that mac Jones has actually regressed since last

1846
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 1: year and went over his completion percentages from this year

1847
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: and last year. My understanding is that the new offense,

1848
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: O line and offensive masterminds the question in the back

1849
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: coaching him played a game, yet coaching him maybe the

1850
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 1: issue what do the PU guys say, and is this

1851
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 1: new offense helping or hurting our young quarterback? That's a

1852
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,559
Speaker 1: tough one and stuff. I mean, I don't know if

1853
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 1: he took like last year's preseason completion and compared it

1854
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 1: to this year's preseason yeah, I mean, I think he

1855
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 1: looked a little more comfortable last year. I think though

1856
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:04,639
Speaker 1: this year, what we've seen him do, they've been moving

1857
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: him outside of that comfort zone a little bit. But

1858
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 1: when they go spread and stuff, I think it looks

1859
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,040
Speaker 1: largely similar. I point to the fourth drive against the

1860
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 1: Raiders that you know, Max seemed like, all right, he

1861
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: kind of feels like, you know, let's see what it

1862
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 1: looks like when Matt can get up there and they're

1863
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:18,600
Speaker 1: playing in his strengths and they have he has some

1864
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 1: freedom at the line to adjust the calls and not

1865
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 1: you know, run right into the teeth of the defense

1866
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 1: just to get an outside zone rep. So I agree

1867
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 1: generally with the point, but it's hard to talk about

1868
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 1: the stats. And he also just look, they're trying to

1869
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:33,680
Speaker 1: do something new. They've been telling us all summer. We've

1870
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:35,840
Speaker 1: been talking about it all summer. So I do give

1871
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:38,240
Speaker 1: him a little bit of leeway as far as you know,

1872
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 1: again for the fiftieth time, with the hope that we're

1873
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,360
Speaker 1: hitting the reset button and it is going to get

1874
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,759
Speaker 1: better as the season progresses. Johnny Wisconsin wants to defend

1875
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 1: him back in. He says, so when you mentioned Hill

1876
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 1: and Monstt and Waddle and the rest of Miami's offense

1877
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 1: and then said what are we going to do to

1878
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 1: stop them? That wasn't putting Miami ahead of the Patriots.

1879
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: Well what else do we gonna say? No, it's not

1880
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:03,719
Speaker 1: saying that Miami is miles that you said miles ahead

1881
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:09,599
Speaker 1: of the Patriots, well even even ahead like when yeah,

1882
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,600
Speaker 1: when you're analyzing the other team and they have like

1883
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 1: weapons like that, and then you ask the question, how

1884
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: are they going to stop them? I mean that's the

1885
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,760
Speaker 1: logical question, and we're actually saying not like, oh my god,

1886
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 1: how are they going to stop them? No, we're asking

1887
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: the question what are they going to do? How do

1888
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: we think they're gonna go about trying to stop that?

1889
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: And then we talked about using zone and all that stuff,

1890
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: and we pondered, do you go after Tua? I think

1891
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,719
Speaker 1: Fred you've said that, do you try to apply more pressure?

1892
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: And Mike you had the numbers get based on history?

1893
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,640
Speaker 1: Probably not? Probably not. They're gonna have to rely on

1894
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 1: Jude On and maybe Anthony Jennings Oochay Barmore to collapse

1895
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:48,439
Speaker 1: the pocket. They're gonna need the guys up front to

1896
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 1: win battles. But it's not like, oh my god, how

1897
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,799
Speaker 1: are we going to do this? It's no physical like literally,

1898
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: how are they going to do it? What are they

1899
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 1: going to try? But there's just how how can you

1900
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,160
Speaker 1: not look at that Miami offense and be impressed with

1901
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: their speed and wonder how do you how do you

1902
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 1: deal with that speed? And that's such a buzz point.

1903
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 1: How do we get our speed on defense? How do

1904
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:09,719
Speaker 1: you get that speed on the field? You drafted Marcus Jones,

1905
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,600
Speaker 1: you drafted Jack Jones. Quick, guys, you still have a

1906
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 1: bunch of safeties, you still have some big uh you

1907
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 1: know linebackers. Does Mac Wilson get involved. Those are those

1908
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 1: are the questions they're asking. That's what I find interested.

1909
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 1: Let's get Oh, by the way, what do you think

1910
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:27,560
Speaker 1: of the Patriots not touching High Towers locker? I I

1911
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 1: but it's just empty, right, Yeah, it's just empty. Yeah,

1912
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,519
Speaker 1: they haven't moved anyone in there. No. Yeah, I'm not

1913
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 1: really no, I'm not a big like I don't know.

1914
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. I think that the reports in LA

1915
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 1: were like his locker is intact with his name. Yeah,

1916
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 1: like it's all like that's not the case. But maybe

1917
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe it's like

1918
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:51,640
Speaker 1: that to me would be the difference, like, well, why

1919
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: did you say that? Like it's a big deal for

1920
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:54,640
Speaker 1: the It's not a big deal first of all for

1921
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 1: the Rams until they sign him. But they think he's

1922
01:36:58,080 --> 01:36:59,840
Speaker 1: going to be back and like late in the year,

1923
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,560
Speaker 1: so they're gonna wait to sign him. That's how I

1924
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: look at the Rams thing. He's coming off an injury.

1925
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 1: High Towers, High Towers not playing. I don't really get it, Like,

1926
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, it's a like a tribute, like does

1927
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: he give ah that is locker isn't like no one's

1928
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: in I think and listen. We left your cube open, Paul.

1929
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 1: I think we are left we we we get so

1930
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 1: little concrete information that we're left to sort of like

1931
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 1: interpret a lot of stuff. I think that locker has

1932
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 1: become something that it really like. I don't understand why.

1933
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 1: I can tell you there's been different guys in different

1934
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:34,720
Speaker 1: spots in the locker room who have run the locker

1935
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 1: room over the years, and for some reason, that locker

1936
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: right next to the door is considered one of those spots.

1937
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:43,760
Speaker 1: Fred will tell you. You know, there were times when

1938
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: McGinnis was in the middle row. Yeah, when he was

1939
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,639
Speaker 1: when he was squawking at Bethel Johnson like you've done already,

1940
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:50,880
Speaker 1: you know that kind of stuff. He wasn't at that locker.

1941
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:54,080
Speaker 1: Now McGinnis spent time down there too. Like I think,

1942
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 1: guys have moved around the locker room and it's not

1943
01:37:56,479 --> 01:38:01,719
Speaker 1: necessarily that spot, right, it's another one. It becomes spot

1944
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 1: and there's always been a guy and you can't leave

1945
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 1: with Like Teddy Bruski was on the other side of

1946
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: that door. It was Teddy Bruski, not the spot in

1947
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 1: the locker room. You know, That's what that's what made

1948
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:14,800
Speaker 1: the spot. Yeah, and that spot doesn't make the player,

1949
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 1: and high Tower has made the spot. I think Mayo

1950
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: was down there too. Those were first of all if

1951
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:22,000
Speaker 1: you figure out they're all the same because they go

1952
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 1: by number and that's where the numbers fall. And those

1953
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 1: are guys that are were leaders, Mayo, Bruski, Vrabel Mcguinnis

1954
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,680
Speaker 1: they all they all had control of the locker room.

1955
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily because of the spot, as

1956
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 1: it is the players that actually occupied the spot, Linebackers,

1957
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 1: the bomb Spies and Fresno down there too. To be fair,

1958
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 1: I am looking at this like, oh my god, how

1959
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,720
Speaker 1: are we going to stop them? But I mean I

1960
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 1: think I think the only I need the answer that

1961
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:53,400
Speaker 1: is kind of like what two is going to do

1962
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:56,880
Speaker 1: to help us out? Yes, I think that's part of it. Like,

1963
01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: and that's why I said, if if two has another

1964
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,679
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots, it's time to stop telling everybody

1965
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,479
Speaker 1: how much better your guy is than their guy. I

1966
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: think mac Jones is better than Tua I do. I

1967
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:11,640
Speaker 1: think he's bigger. I think he has a little bit

1968
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:13,720
Speaker 1: better of an arm, and I think he has more

1969
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:17,240
Speaker 1: of an aptitude to play the position. But it hasn't

1970
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:19,720
Speaker 1: shown up on the field that I look at that

1971
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:21,560
Speaker 1: more in terms of the limit patients to two, like

1972
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 1: you were saying, because two is smaller more than like

1973
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:26,240
Speaker 1: Max bigger, but at the same point the other way around.

1974
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,840
Speaker 1: UM right, I don't know, Well, I don't know what

1975
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 1: MAC is. I don't know what MAC is, and I'm

1976
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: kind of halfway excited to find out this season. But

1977
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm more like a friend of mine was saying, Hey,

1978
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 1: we can do the X, Y, and Z in order

1979
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs this year, and I was like,

1980
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 1: you know something, last three years they've cluttered to the end.

1981
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 1: I don't care, Like I don't want to get into

1982
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: the I mean, we can win your way in and

1983
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:49,240
Speaker 1: then lose your way out of the first round. And

1984
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 1: I guess that's something, but I want I'd much rather

1985
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 1: not make it to the playoffs to see some sort

1986
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 1: of robust and my sent a growth like especially stopping

1987
01:39:57,439 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 1: the run, Max being able to perform in the red zone.

1988
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Let's see that stuff. Forget the playoffs. Yeah, okay, yeah,

1989
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't look at making the playoffs as a negative though,

1990
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:15,800
Speaker 1: Like if they won ten won ten games again and

1991
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:20,480
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, wouldn't that be a good thing, of course. Yeah, absolutely,

1992
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: But like I think that's what they like limp in again,

1993
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:26,600
Speaker 1: they like start out, especially with this schedule. Yeah, absolutely no,

1994
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, you know, it's like you you had

1995
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 1: made a comment earlier, Mike, and I'm I'm gonna I'm

1996
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 1: being literal here and like going with semantics, but you

1997
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:36,599
Speaker 1: were talking about how like if they're playing better at

1998
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:38,679
Speaker 1: the end and they fall short of the playoffs whatever,

1999
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 1: that would be good. But like you know, let's say

2000
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 1: they jump out of the gates, you know, two and

2001
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 1: nine and then they finished strong, like it's not like

2002
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 1: this like whole new team and they finally put it

2003
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: together down the stretch. No, I think that would be

2004
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:55,800
Speaker 1: a bad year. I think that would be a bad year.

2005
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:58,880
Speaker 1: It's not like Drew Bledsoe's rookie year where they had

2006
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:01,280
Speaker 1: no talent at all and they were one and eleven

2007
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:02,600
Speaker 1: and won the last four and you're like, oh, I

2008
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 1: could see something. I could see something brewing here. Yeah,

2009
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, to me, it would just be another example

2010
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: like well, when they were out of it, then they

2011
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 1: started winning games. It's just it's so hard to put

2012
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: into a box already when you're gonna have injuries. Other

2013
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:16,640
Speaker 1: teams are gonna have injuries. It's like even last year

2014
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 1: the win streak. We know all the qualifiers to that

2015
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 1: win streak, whereas you know before this season, well they're

2016
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna have a seven game win streak in the middle

2017
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: of the ball. That's gotta be good, right, How could

2018
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:26,599
Speaker 1: that be bad? Well, you know in retrospect doesn't quite

2019
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 1: look as good. But you know, I just, I mean,

2020
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,280
Speaker 1: just to go back a point, I thought of Paul

2021
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 1: when you mentioned, you know, two of versus Mac. It's like,

2022
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 1: I don't even really care about two of versus Mac.

2023
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 1: I just look at this like coaching staff, and you

2024
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:41,400
Speaker 1: haven't really found any answers for your divisional opponents. And

2025
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 1: I just like, to me, I could care less, like

2026
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 1: who ranks Mac where versus anybody else? Like, but if

2027
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 1: you have no ability to like counter what you're seeing

2028
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: on offense, then like what are we doing, Like what

2029
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:56,600
Speaker 1: are we grasping onto thinking that like we have, you know,

2030
01:41:56,680 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 1: the ability to morph and shut down different offenses. It's

2031
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: like until you put together a game plan where TA

2032
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,479
Speaker 1: is like looks befuddled. And I mean, and I don't

2033
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 1: think that that's that heart of a deal. Again, I

2034
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: just think that that's about playing good, solid defense. And

2035
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 1: he hasn't torn up. He's just been effective and kept

2036
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:16,519
Speaker 1: the offensive schedule. But until you go out against Buffalo

2037
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 1: and wow, all right, we're starting to find something where

2038
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: we can at least be competitive here. You know, it's

2039
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,160
Speaker 1: just it hasn't been competitive when you've gone straight up

2040
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: against Josh Allen the last few times. You know, of

2041
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: course the win game outstanding that that to me is

2042
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 1: the bigger issue. How can this team find a way

2043
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: to stop these offenses in the division. Let's go to

2044
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 1: William and Philham on the ace ticket hut line. What's

2045
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 1: up William? Hey for it? How are you doing good?

2046
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,400
Speaker 1: All right? I just want to figure bank off of

2047
01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 1: what Paul said. Just want to throw two names out

2048
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,640
Speaker 1: there for next year. And I think this was one

2049
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:50,679
Speaker 1: of the things I wanted to ask Patures on Filter

2050
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 1: during the off season. Look, because Paul was talking about

2051
01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 1: it basically in terms of what Bill spin and what

2052
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 1: would he go get, you know, in terms of talent

2053
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:03,880
Speaker 1: and whatnot. So okay, so let me ask you a question,

2054
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: and Paul, so, will do you think Bill will go trade? Uh?

2055
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: Go talk to the founcas in trade because Cameron Ridley

2056
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 1: comes back in that year and get him to or

2057
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,519
Speaker 1: either that's the kind of move that he would mat Yeah,

2058
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: no money, no risk, you know, I can get him

2059
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: on my you know he's out of football. Yeah, Like

2060
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about getting one of the best players and

2061
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: straight up everybody, everybody wants him, and he chose you

2062
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 1: because you gave him the moment Ebo Samuel, So basically

2063
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 1: so something might so say, can we say something like

2064
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: this and this is kind of basically true. Basically like

2065
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:39,240
Speaker 1: there's a person that's next year but he's unrestricted up,

2066
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:40,840
Speaker 1: but you wanted to talk to the boy year nineer

2067
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 1: and that's Nick boz It. His contract is up. Yeah,

2068
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 1: I think this will I think this is like and

2069
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,240
Speaker 1: pay your money. I think this very very little chance

2070
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:50,920
Speaker 1: of that he's going to be like one hundred and

2071
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar player in the open market. And I

2072
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 1: just can't imagine you you went a bidding war, right right?

2073
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:01,799
Speaker 1: And h my last my last question that I wonder, well, Patrees,

2074
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 1: don't folks to ever get mister Robert Kraft on the

2075
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:06,960
Speaker 1: show and just ask him, you know, just ask him

2076
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:10,040
Speaker 1: what does he expect from the team. Or you know,

2077
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,200
Speaker 1: and if they don't make whatever whatever he expect me, Hey,

2078
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 1: don't And if it doesn't happen, what you're going to do, Maddy?

2079
01:44:17,200 --> 01:44:19,759
Speaker 1: And I'll leave it at that, John, all right, thankfully.

2080
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:22,960
Speaker 1: So the Fake Curse Show will be returning after after

2081
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 1: a break. Um, what you're gonna do about it? Are

2082
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,559
Speaker 1: you prepared to do something about that? I'll hang up

2083
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:32,760
Speaker 1: and listen. Suddenly my key card doesn't work, mister craft.

2084
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 1: Do you know anything about that? Yeah, we've had Jonathan

2085
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: on the show before, but not for not for years

2086
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 1: and year and we I think we had Robert on

Speaker 1: the show once. Definitely at the super Bowl. Yeah, oh yes,

2088
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:45,600
Speaker 1: definitely at the Super bowls. That a lot of like

2089
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:48,400
Speaker 1: live shows during the days leading up to the Super Bowl,

2090
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 1: like on Radio Row and stuff. Was that you guys

2091
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:52,880

2097
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,680
Speaker 1: game against Miami. The Patriots have an improved team with

2098
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:17,200
Speaker 1: a potentially dominant defense, ten rookies who will inject speed

2099
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:21,240
Speaker 1: and talent into the team, and a young, talented quarterback.

2100
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm ready for some football, and I'm optimistic about the

2101
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:27,640
Speaker 1: fortunes of the Patriots this season. So there you go.

2102
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:31,479
Speaker 1: So this is a an optimism for you. Yep, I

2103
01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 1: gotta have some optimism. I don't know how you cannot

2104
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: be excited about the start of the season, even like

2105
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for a hundred years and I

2106
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:40,719
Speaker 1: still get excited for the start of the season. That opener.

2107
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 1: Fred always makes fun of me for being jaded. I

2108
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 1: still love game Day. Yeah, I still love game Day.

2109
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 1: Eat my donuts coffee. Plus, we mean talking to how

2110
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 1: great this schedule is, Like I think we all knew it.

2111
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: But then like coming in where it's like one o'clock,

2112
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 1: one o'clock for one one, like just all standard operating

2113
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 1: day and that's one of the game, all right, isn't

2114
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 1: that what everybody's looking for Sunday at one? Me, I

2115
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:06,519
Speaker 1: am you don't talk to me about that stretch of

2116
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,639
Speaker 1: four primetime games late. But plus it's like you get home,

2117
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,720
Speaker 1: you can watch the late game, like you're already you know,

2118
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:14,080
Speaker 1: like you get like a nice nightcap. It's not like

2119
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 1: a full red zone mode for postgame show Matt's Matt

2120
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:18,760
Speaker 1: smile was just thinking about it. Get in it like

2121
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 1: two ays my random commentary. I think they're gonna overturn this,

2122
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 1: Pat an Igawa, I'm one of my big keys to

2123
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:32,679
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. And things bombarding my screen. Now, oh what happened?

2124
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:38,120
Speaker 1: Let's see. I gotta go back. Ah, it's terrible, real quick.

2125
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: Paul Hardy, sorry, Path three D jaws Hardy did that

2126
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:42,360
Speaker 1: come up with all on Friday? I was going to

2127
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 1: bring that up now we didn't talk about one of

2128
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:48,919
Speaker 1: my keys to Sunday's game. Can be summarized in one word. Pressure.

2129
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 1: You all were dead on earlier in the show regarding

2130
01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:55,559
Speaker 1: the last two Dolphins games and the inability to generate

2131
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:58,759
Speaker 1: pressure on TWA. I can only remember week one Jude

2132
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 1: on getting in on him late in the game forcing

2133
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 1: a bad throw, and that's about it. We can't allow

2134
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,880
Speaker 1: him to sit comfortably in the pocket and pick our

2135
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 1: poison on where he's going to deliver the ball. I'm

2136
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 1: not big on TWOA, but his best ability is his

2137
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 1: accuracy and Hill, considering his stature, is great at catching

2138
01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:21,519
Speaker 1: contested passes. It's probably the most underrated part of his game.

2139
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:24,680
Speaker 1: The front needs to rattle to his cage early and

2140
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:28,160
Speaker 1: often on Sunday and make him a lot more uncomfortable

2141
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 1: than the last three games he's played against US. I

2142
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:33,840
Speaker 1: hope the d is up to the challenge. I just

2143
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 1: think it's been so hard to really get after him

2144
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 1: and get a shot on him because they're again, their

2145
01:47:38,040 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 1: offense has just been on time, and it's you know,

2146
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:41,720
Speaker 1: they'll run the ball. They'll run the ball to get

2147
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:45,080
Speaker 1: good gains. And it is more important because they're only

2148
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:46,720
Speaker 1: even to throw the ball like the three games, and

2149
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:49,680
Speaker 1: he throw the ball twenty twenty two times times something

2150
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 1: like that. Right, They're all like, that's I mean, you're

2151
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 1: not getting pressure because he doesn't have to throw the

2152
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:57,280
Speaker 1: ball all the time. Right, there's just so little chance,

2153
01:47:57,360 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 1: I think, to really pin your ears back. And I

2154
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,320
Speaker 1: think when you can stirt and long, he's he's not

2155
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 1: great at though. I don't think that's his strength. But

2156
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 1: when it's third and two, it's all on the table

2157
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:08,880
Speaker 1: for him. So that I mean, that's why I would agree,

2158
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,639
Speaker 1: And that's something that's another like that. You know, Matt,

2159
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 1: I would rather I don't want either one of them.

2160
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 1: You don't want to be in third and ten. But

2161
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:18,000
Speaker 1: I feel better about my team's chances in third and

2162
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:23,080
Speaker 1: ten with mac Jones than with twa. Yep, evidently we're

2163
01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:27,000
Speaker 1: keeping Fred awake. Scott writes in He's got some philosophical

2164
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:30,519
Speaker 1: questions metaphysical. He says, I've always wondered why the hook

2165
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 1: and lateral is not used more since the skills of

2166
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,200
Speaker 1: the players have increased. Why does not one use those?

2167
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:39,799
Speaker 1: That's a dangerous player if he's throwing the ball around

2168
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:42,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of bad things can happen. And is

2169
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 1: it hook and lateral? Hook and ladder? I mean it's

2170
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: you call it the hook and ladder as short, but

2171
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's a hook and lateral. Yeah, I know.

2172
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:52,479
Speaker 1: But you know, didn't you watch Varsity Blues when they

2173
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:54,160
Speaker 1: give the signal? Yeah, Mike, I think you could give

2174
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:57,400
Speaker 1: the signal? Right, wait, I don't know how it does. Yeah,

2175
01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: but that's a that's a dangerous play. Yeah. Oh yeah.

2176
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 1: Uh well, did you happen to see the Florida State

2177
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: game Sunday night? LSU No, Like, just like how silly

2178
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 1: things can happen. It's like a minute twenty left. Florida

2179
01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:17,920
Speaker 1: States get the ball inside the one yard line, up seven,

2180
01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 1: third and goal. All they had to do is take

2181
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:23,120
Speaker 1: a knee, make them take another time out, kick a

2182
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:26,120
Speaker 1: field goal. Games over, they pitched out, They had a

2183
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 1: little pitch out on the goal line, goes off the

2184
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: guy's thigh, They lose the ball. LSU goes ninety nine

2185
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:33,120
Speaker 1: yards and has a chance to tie the game with

2186
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: no time left, and then you got the extra point blocked.

2187
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:41,200
Speaker 1: But like anytime you're putting the ball like in harm's way, unnecessarily,

2188
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:44,800
Speaker 1: it's a risky they say. Even about passing, there's an

2189
01:49:44,800 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 1: old saying three things can happen on a pass, and

2190
01:49:47,479 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 1: two of them are bad. You know, M Paul, I'm

2191
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 1: surprised Sunday night though you weren't watching the revs. How

2192
01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 1: can you be watching LSU football when the Reds areant aig?

2193
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: That was a big win? Three nothing, yeah, big win.

2194
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: Did not see the rest. I could have told you

2195
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: to bet the house in the revs that game. I

2196
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 1: knew they were gonna win. I was on the radio

2197
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 1: on Friday with Bruce Arena. Oh yeah, I did shut

2198
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: my mic off and take the segment off as so

2199
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 1: as so as you didn't have a question, Tita, not

2200
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 1: to be disrespectful. I felt like it was. It would

2201
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: be disrespectful for me and I, as someone who doesn't

2202
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:23,720
Speaker 1: fall closely enough to know what's going on, to ask

2203
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 1: the coach a question, Paul, Why should I do that? Paul?

2204
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:28,080
Speaker 1: Paul's like, Bruce, Um, what do you think about your

2205
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 1: attacking third? Right? You know? Right? You know, and let's

2206
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 1: just say that it's exactly the opposite of what's actual reality,

2207
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of like some of the questions we get here.

2208
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:40,240
Speaker 1: Never mind, Um, don't you think that would be disrespectful? Yes,

2209
01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 1: if I asked a question like I knew what I

2210
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 1: was talking about, and I literally not seen a minute

2211
01:50:46,240 --> 01:50:50,080
Speaker 1: of Rev's action all season, so I took the segment off.

2212
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 1: Scott says, I'm quite prepared for mediocrity having watched the

2213
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:57,719
Speaker 1: Patriots since nineteen seventy three. I'm afraid that Bill's ego

2214
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 1: will be the downfall of the Patriots at this point.

2215
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 1: But given the success, we have had a lifetime of

2216
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 1: memories this millennium, so I only need to know where

2217
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 1: to throw in the towel, Like what are you talking about?

2218
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:13,360
Speaker 1: Why would you ever throw in the towel? Like, think

2219
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: of like other teams that we are, man, we are spoiled.

2220
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: We are so spoiled around here, it's unbelievable. How long

2221
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: do you think it tastes to cleanse the palette? Well,

2222
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 1: just so you know, like that guy, if he's if

2223
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:28,759
Speaker 1: he's being honest and he's been a fan since nineteen

2224
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:31,479
Speaker 1: seventy three, I don't think he's spoiled. I think he's

2225
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:34,040
Speaker 1: been through a lot of different seasons with a lot

2226
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,599
Speaker 1: of different Why would you throw in the towel? I mean,

2227
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 1: like if you're mathematically out of a season, okay, they can't.

2228
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: But but do you think that throwing in the towel

2229
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:45,680
Speaker 1: means he's not going to be tuned in Sunday at

2230
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:47,760
Speaker 1: one and rooting. That's what it sounds like when you're

2231
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,080
Speaker 1: throwing he doesn't think they're going to win. I think

2232
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 1: that's what he's throwing in the towel. I mean I

2233
01:51:52,360 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 1: need a little clarify I'm speaking. I'm speaking for the guy.

2234
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 1: But like Fred, you've often made fun of me in

2235
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 1: the past, from my elite agencies to my father's alma mater,

2236
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 1: in Northeastern when I go to the games, they were

2237
01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 1: It's not true now, but there were a lot of

2238
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:11,160
Speaker 1: years they had little to no shot, and idiot Paul

2239
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 1: was still there. I still I threw in the towel.

2240
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 1: I knew there was no shot, but I still went,

2241
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 1: and I still care and I still hoped to beyond

2242
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:23,160
Speaker 1: hope that I was wrong, but I knew the other

2243
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,240
Speaker 1: team was better. I need to know his definition of

2244
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: throwing in the towel. In that case, you know, to

2245
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:29,519
Speaker 1: me throwing in the towels, I've done that with the

2246
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 1: Red Sox season, just like I was watching a lot

2247
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:35,680
Speaker 1: of games. I'm not watching anymore right because but now

2248
01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 1: they're out. But I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. You

2249
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 1: can go into a season and but you can go

2250
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:43,839
Speaker 1: into a season and say we don't have the horses

2251
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 1: to compete with, you know, the Chargers, the Ravens, the Chiefs,

2252
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:54,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals like and say we just we're not forgot

2253
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:56,800
Speaker 1: about the Bills. We're just not as good as those teams.

2254
01:52:57,080 --> 01:52:59,559
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that you don't tune in watching.

2255
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:01,920
Speaker 1: I want root for your team to win. That's what

2256
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:03,680
Speaker 1: I say, Like I think you could throw in the

2257
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:07,639
Speaker 1: towel and still be watching the games, and in other words,

2258
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:10,519
Speaker 1: in your definition of throwing in the talents, watching with

2259
01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:15,759
Speaker 1: no hope, yeah or notion, not invested in the season,

2260
01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, not expecting anything to really, I'm just yeah,

2261
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting them to go eleven and six. But

2262
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 1: I think every every single NFL fan right now of

2263
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 1: every team has like that little voice in the back

2264
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:28,680
Speaker 1: of their hair. I'm yeah, we're probably gonna stink this year,

2265
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:31,679
Speaker 1: but you never know. You never I don't think there's

2266
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:33,920
Speaker 1: a lot of teams like that. I think it's the opposite.

2267
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 1: I think everybody has hope now except for you know,

2268
01:53:38,479 --> 01:53:40,759
Speaker 1: probably wanted to. They're probably not feeling great in Cleveland

2269
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:43,040
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson not being able to play, but you

2270
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:47,800
Speaker 1: never know. Chris and Virginia. I have a cool story moment.

2271
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:51,360
Speaker 1: My mom sends me a random picture on Facebook Friday

2272
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:55,400
Speaker 1: night with her and Aaron Lewis and there's a guy

2273
01:53:55,520 --> 01:53:57,920
Speaker 1: with them in the picture. I reply, Mom, do you

2274
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:01,840
Speaker 1: know who that is? She said, he said he's some

2275
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 1: Patriots player. I said, yeah, that's Rob Nikovich and I

2276
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:07,639
Speaker 1: told her to ask if he knows why Butler got

2277
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:10,759
Speaker 1: bench in the Super Bowl and she just said he laughed.

2278
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:22,480
Speaker 1: Who's Aaron Lewis? I don't know. He might be an influencer.

2279
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:25,599
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I don't know. But why is he worth?

2280
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:33,480

2284
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:46,320
