Let me get back to 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: my point, jet off to this is my show. But 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: enough about me. What do you think about Rhode Island 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: on a stormy evening in the seventeenes on a hill 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: forty nine ers try to have black uniforms for a while. 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't work. Um, that's that's how we got George. 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: George go out of curiosity. What do you say he'll 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: be back February eighth. February eighth, he's decompressing some of us. 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: Can clear e heads? I guess this is Patriot's Unfiltered, 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: fueled by Duncan. All right, I am, in fact back 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: February looking like a lobster over there's like three days later. 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: I was gone for so long one show. I know, well, 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: I can understand why for some people that you know, 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: I can understand that. But it is Tuesday here at 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: Giles Stadium, and this is Patriots unfiltered, the gangs all 22 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: here until two o'clock talking everything Patriots and NFL and 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and you know, Richard Seymour might get into 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. And there's a lot going on 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: this week. Man. Joe Judge, Joe Judge, what what about 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: it might be back reports this morning as what offensive assistant? Yeah, 27 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: just can't do it. They just can't do it, those 28 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: little gray areas. Is that a problem for you a 29 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: little bit? It is for me too, It is a 30 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: little bits. It's I think it's becoming increasingly it's a 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: pet peeve. I mean, why do we have to be different? 32 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: Why why is it okay for everybody else to name 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: the coordinator? Yeah, and I get it. I'm like, if 34 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: everybody did that and it was kind of like a 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: strategic thing in the first year, you don't do it, 36 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, because you don't want to lose the guy 37 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: or whatever. But I don't know, do you think it's 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: something to do with his contract that might be remaining 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: with the Giants, that that whole like Bilema. Okay, if 40 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: that's the reason, then okay, you cannot pronounce anyone's if 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: there's like a contractual reason because of what's remaining with 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: the giants, I'm okay with that. Yeah, you know, I 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: was just that's possible, that is I suppose that is possible. 44 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: I would say that that's that's a possibility in this 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: particular case, but there have been too too many other examples. 46 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: That doesn't really have anything to do with their mindset. Man. Yeah, 47 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: and if the answer the question for me is if 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: they like exhibited you know, the trace of a very 49 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: well coached team that was a smooth operation, there would 50 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: never any problems with communication. I would say, do whatever 51 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: you want, give anybody whatever title you need. We haven't 52 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: seen that over the last two or three years, with 53 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: all of this vagary around who's who's in charge of what. 54 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if we know who's in charge of what, 55 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: But it certainly seems the players don't know who's in 56 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: charge of what. I based on the defense some of 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: the sloppiness that they've had. Yeah, they've had the offensive coordinator, 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: so you haven't seen that. Right now, We'll see if 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: the offense is suffering from the same kinds of problems 60 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: next year if they don't actually name a coordinator, which 61 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: I think And the interesting aspect to this Judge thing 62 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: is also like the Raiders were supposedly McDaniels and crew 63 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: were trying to lure him back to them as a 64 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: special team's coach as a coordinator. And if the job 65 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: here is more expansive as far as offense and maybe 66 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: potentially being an offensive coordinator, that seems like it might 67 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: be more attractive to a guy who was just a 68 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: head coach, and it probably has designs on becoming one 69 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: again at some point. So what did it say that 70 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: Judge was in line for in Vegas special teams coordinator? 71 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: Just special teams. Now, remember when he last was here, 72 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: he was the wide receivers slash special teams coordinator, so 73 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: he was already starting to like right dip his toe 74 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: into doing things other than that. Then he gets to 75 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: coaching gigs. So now to go, Like, if you're him 76 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: and Josh comes to you and says, hey, you're you 77 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: need work be my special team's coordinator. I mean, it's like, okay, 78 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: you need work, but you're also like I was just 79 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: a head coach. Right, that's kind of like and I 80 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: think Josh is probably going to be his own coordinator probably. Well, 81 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: that's why I asked, because I had seen the stuff 82 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: about Vegas, I hadn't seen specifically what. Yeah, and I 83 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: would agree with Eric. I would think that Joe Judge 84 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: probably looks at that and saying I want to see 85 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: if I can run off at that stage. Yeah, kind 86 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: of reddefine his career a little bit and a half 87 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: step back, but something that he's not totally foreign too. 88 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: But had to think they we're gonna bring somebody familiar back. 89 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: But I'm a little bit surprised. I mean, does this 90 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: rule out Billy, Oh? I think it would. It all 91 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: depends on maybe what they're bringing Joe Judge back for 92 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: now we can say they're listening him. It's an offensive assistant, 93 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: but that's the new coordinator and we might be right. Yeah, 94 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: but we might be wrong too bring it into coordinator, right, yeah, 95 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: stil early, Yeah, all you could use both. Absolutely. I 96 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: mean you're losing you're losing a lot of experience with Ivan, right, Well, 97 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: that hasn't been announced yet. Evidently it has I know everybody. 98 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 1: It seems to be the worst kept secret everybody around 99 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: has been writing about it constantly, you know, Joe Judge 100 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: coming back, But I don't know and moved the needle 101 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: for me, I'll be honest. I don't know if it 102 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: was Andy that brought up the point or on one 103 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: of your shows. Um, but there is something to be 104 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: said about you bring in, whether it's Billy O'Brien or 105 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: Joe Judge, they don't want to stay here forever. They 106 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: want to probably get another crack at a head coaching job. 107 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: And you know, is there another thing that maybe you 108 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: name him as assistant and then but you're at the 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: same time cultivating somebody within who's going to be your 110 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: coordinator for a longer term to give you that stability. 111 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: You know, that would be the point against Billy oh, right, 112 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: because you think if he comes into his offensive coordinator, 113 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: it has a good, good year. He's probably going to 114 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: be on the interview circuit again. And now you have 115 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: the chance of three coordinators in three seasons. Right. Yeah, 116 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Joe Judge isn't going to have that concern. Yeah that 117 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: could be you can you can do that and probably 118 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: not worry about it. Yeah, maybe I was just not 119 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: quite as aware of it in the late two thousands, 120 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: But it just seemed at that point they always had 121 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: just a pipeline of coaches and these you know, guys 122 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: like Josh and Maddy p who started out as and 123 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: had been there forever, and then by the time they 124 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: started to get promoted or to get more responsibility, you're like, 125 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: this guy's been here forever. Like I don't really feel 126 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: that yet with like Nick Kaylee or Mick Lombardi, like 127 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: they've they've been here for a little bit. But yeah, 128 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't, Yeah, I don't think they're 129 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: probably ready yet. Yeah, I think, you know, Kayley probably 130 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: a little more than Lombardi. But yeah, I agree. I 131 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: think that it felt and it might not be that 132 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: much different in terms of actual years, but it just 133 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: felt like McDaniels was around for longer. Well just you know, 134 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: it was two thousands to two thousand and four, five years, 135 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: and then he wasn't officially the coordinator at oh five, right, 136 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: he got it in. Yeah, he was personnel assistant and 137 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: coaching assistant in oh one, and he was a coaching 138 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: assistant from O two to oh three, oh four to 139 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: oh five he was quarterbacks coach. So it's probably the 140 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: same yea, in terms of time. I just feel like 141 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: he had more response. I was just gonna say, like, 142 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, when, whether it's Dable or McDaniels, I never 143 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: paid attention to those guys until it was time to 144 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: pay attention to him, and then I realized it, Oh, 145 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: I didn't know he was here that long. Yeah, well 146 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: you see him like you kind of see them around. Yeah, 147 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: I feel you don't really know what they're doing, what 148 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: they're responsible for. But then all of a suddenly, like 149 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: they get promoted and you're like, oh, yeah, I recognize him. 150 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: He's been around here for a little but you don't 151 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: really pay attention to them right there, these assistants, And 152 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: then you look back at like the you know, twenty 153 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: thirteen coaching staff or whatever, and it's all these guys 154 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: who have gone on to head coaches that have all 155 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: left within the last you know, five years, and it 156 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: just doesn't seem like they've been able to catch their 157 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: breath and constitute And I mean, I guess it's always 158 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: an ongoing process, but there has there has been a 159 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: lot of movement over the last three four years with 160 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: coaches leaving, you know, turnover on the staff more so 161 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: then it seemed like for a while there, it was 162 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: like you had a pretty good run of pretty much 163 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: a core coaching staff, and a lot of them were 164 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: veteran coaches, so you didn't really have that kind of concern. 165 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean, now it's like, with all the turnover in 166 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: the youth on the coaching staff. I think that's that 167 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: maybe a reason we're seeing some of like the collapses 168 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: and special teams and on defense in the second half 169 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: of the year. I mean, a lot of this stuff 170 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: is you know, maybe a little bit much for well, yeah, 171 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Last year we talked about they 172 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: got a new team. Essentially, they brought in all these 173 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: new players, and you know, the talk was, all right, well, 174 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: how does Belichick manage that? But I just wondered, comparatively, 175 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: what's it like having a new team with a bunch 176 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: of new players versus I gotta get a bunch of 177 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: new coaches? Is that more challenging in some ways for 178 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: a coach like this, who has a specific message, who 179 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: wants it disseminated a certain way, to not have it 180 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: be a big, you know, a big staff. I mean, 181 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: I liked Paul's point, which was, you know, I always 182 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: thought they had a small staff so that the message 183 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't get muddled and it could be a direct line 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: from from Bbyond down. But there's been something missing, there's 185 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: been a disconnect, and now how do you re establish 186 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: those lines of trust with a bunch of new pieces 187 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: that then you're gonna have coming in. So, I mean, 188 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: I understand why they're bringing Judge back, but at some 189 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: point they're gonna have to get somebody who's gonna want 190 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 1: to stay for a little while or promote one of 191 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: these guys. And like we've said, you know, we always say, 192 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: you know, even Brady needed help, you know, so it 193 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: does Bill, And you know, you wonder, like what is 194 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: the structure with all these people leaving, who's doing what? 195 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: Who's really accountable for each little thing? And you know, 196 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: I keep thinking about, Okay, but they brought in Patricia 197 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: last year. You know, how much is Patricia actually able 198 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: and how much is Bill willing to take off his 199 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: plate and give it to Patricia? So like you know, 200 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: personnel and scouting, Like can Bill just really sit back 201 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: and give that all to Patricia? It's a good point, 202 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: so that all he's thinking about is football. Well, and again, 203 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: like Mike made the point earlier about Judges remaining contract 204 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: with the Giants, and Patricia was let go early from 205 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: his contract with the Lions too, so there might have 206 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: been something to the fact that he's senior football advisor 207 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: this past year. Maybe he has a different role this year, right, 208 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, right, maybe it's on the coaching staff all 209 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: we know. I mean, I just would hate to find 210 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: out that that's the fact, Like where sort of sacrificing 211 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: coaching because of you know, money. Yeah, I would hate 212 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: to find out that that's the that's the reason, because 213 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: I do think it's not to me as much about 214 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: the amount of coaches, because I I've often argued with you, Fred, 215 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: I think there are a ton of guys that you 216 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: don't know who they are because they don't give them 217 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: titles that coach. Right, And the size of the Patriots 218 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: coaching staff is probably comparable to most others that there 219 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: are probably some that have a lot more. But what 220 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: has changed to me recently is the message and where 221 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: the message is coming from. That was Mike's point that 222 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: I thought he made. You know, I just all of 223 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: those comments from the offensive players last year resonated with me. 224 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: When you heard periodically about questions about the call and 225 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: maybe we weren't in the you know, we weren't in 226 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: the right situation there, And I just wonder if the 227 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: message was the problem, like where it was coming from, 228 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: who was giving it, and was everybody on the same page. Yeah, 229 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, like I was talking to Ted Johnson the 230 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: other day because I was on one of my shows 231 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday that I was actually on a Sunday morning 232 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: football show with Ted Johnson, and I asked him a 233 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: couple of questions about that. You know, you know, as 234 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: a defensive player, would you find it at all confusing 235 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: if there wasn't an established hierarchy? You know, I know 236 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: we don't know who the defensive coordinator is and we 237 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: don't need to know, but do you think that there's 238 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: a chance that the players don't exactly know who's in charge? 239 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: And he said they certainly played like it at times 240 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: last year, And he said after meetings, you know, after practice, 241 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: he goes what you need is after practice every day, 242 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: you know, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, whatever the day, you're getting 243 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: a message from somebody. And if that was the same 244 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: guy after every practice, then it's really not that big 245 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: of an issue because that's the guy who's in charge. 246 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: But he said he wondered if maybe, you know, one 247 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: guy was saying something after a practice and you know, 248 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: maybe Belichick was saying something, maybe Mayo was saying something else. Yeah. Yeah, 249 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: and even if it's Bill, right, if like during the 250 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: week and you know, Bill's the guy, but then you 251 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: hear Steve say something or Gerad saying something, and it's like, oh, 252 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't really need to listen to him. It's really 253 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: only Bill. That's exactly what That's exactly what Ted said. Yeah. 254 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, that's how you get the problems is you 255 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: decide who you're listening to and you and you're not 256 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: necessarily listening as closely to the other guys, right, and 257 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: that's when you could get miscommunication and not everybody on 258 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: the same page. Yeah. Yeah, I was just thinking back 259 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: to my old industry of how hard it is to 260 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: allow for the DGA to allow two people to direct 261 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: a film, and it usually only they allow its Director's 262 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: Guild of America. Okay, so you like, there's never co 263 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: directors of a movie really unless they're brothers. Yeah, But 264 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: I look at it similarly because I think a film 265 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: like that where you've got an army of people trying 266 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: to complish. I just I see it similarly where one vision, 267 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: one person. Some of the TV shows that I worked 268 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: on that were most successful one person, one vision. And 269 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: I think when you get into this area, like like 270 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: we've been talking about, where there's just not consistency and messaging. 271 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: I also like the personality of the defensive coordinator. I mean, 272 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: you know, like Robert Salo when he was with you know, 273 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: San Francisco. I mean it's kind of funny, but still 274 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't like those guys. But but you know what 275 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, like there's guys like that. Even I would 276 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: throw Romeo Cornell in there. Not the same type, but 277 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: like had a personality and and maybe you know an essence. Yeah, 278 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: that's the guy in charge. You can watch the sideline. 279 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: You don't need to look at the media guide. That 280 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: guy is the one in charge, right, That's what I 281 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: wants what it lacks. And and then one more point 282 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: I just want to make that I've been thinking about 283 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: is with someone like Steve Belch, and I understand that 284 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, he is got the crosshairs on him because 285 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: he's the son of Bill, and expectations and nepotism and 286 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: all those things that people want to talk about with him. 287 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: But you know, he obviously is a very experienced coach 288 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: at this point, and how long do you really give 289 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: a young defensive coordinator in training to make these kind 290 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: of mistakes where we got the wrong call there? You know, 291 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: like there has to be some kind of learning curve. 292 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: But I just I don't know if Steve Belichick's ever 293 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: going to get a fair shake here just because of 294 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: who he is and his dad. And you know, I 295 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: think when we talked about the best thing maybe for 296 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: him would be to go somewhere else and to have 297 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: success outside of this system. I just I have I 298 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: really wonder if people are going to accept him if 299 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: he were to become the defensive coordinator. And you know 300 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: how hard it is for people just to give him 301 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of slack because he is you know, yes, 302 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: he is a Belichick, but he certainly has been around 303 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: this his whole life. He's grown up in it, just 304 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: like Bill did to an extent. So you know, there 305 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: is something there. I feel like, But I just I 306 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: feel like he's going to get a bad rap no 307 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: matter what. I don't think he's gonna get a chance, 308 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: and I guess, you know, there's the compass Shanahan, you know, 309 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: but like he went off on his own and and 310 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: did his own thing. Yeah, yeah, established his I mean, 311 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: and then did he ever work for his still? I 312 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: think briefly he did, didn't he? I don't, But in 313 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: general those guys have I think you're right, Yeah, I 314 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: think it. They might have gotten their start, but then 315 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: they have quality control guys and then they go side 316 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: and then they go somewhere right before I think the 317 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: Schottenheimer's did the same thing. Yeah, because you get into 318 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: this point where what if your son isn't performing, you know, 319 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: and then that adds another layer that people have talked 320 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: about here as well. But it's it's hard. I I 321 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: don't know how they're going to suss out Mayo and 322 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: Steve Belichick. I don't know how that breaks up unless 323 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: one and it doesn't look like it's going to change. 324 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like those I thought the sort of 325 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: the wheels were turning from Mayo going somewhere yea, even 326 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: if it wasn't as a promotion just to go somewhere, 327 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: like do you flip one of them doesn't look like 328 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball or to special teams 329 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: or you know, do you do you move one of them? 330 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: I don't and give one of them the job. Well, 331 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys, um related to 332 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: coaching and Joe Judge here that because I just saw 333 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: something on my show Freddie Yeah, on the sports is 334 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: it if you bring in a coordinator? Is that now 335 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: subject to the Rooney rule as well as head coach? 336 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: If you interview candidates for I don't know, coordinator job, 337 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: because they put something up there that suggesting, might Joe 338 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: Judges offensive assistant title be a way to circumvent the rule? 339 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: And I don't. I didn't. I wasn't aware time for that. 340 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't either, I wasn't terrible time for it. Yeah, Um, 341 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: but I didn't think that coordinators were subject. I didn't. Yeah, 342 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: that's why I was. I was asking. I thought it 343 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: was head coaches and personnel like GM. Yeah. I think 344 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: I thought that's all it was for. I don't know 345 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: or at least how the language is written in the rule. 346 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: All right, So that's all there. And then, of course, uh, 347 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: the flake Gate Patriots. It's been proven now that the 348 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: league definitely screwed the Patriots. I mean we already knew 349 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: that either destroying stuff, releasing false stuff, leaking stuff. I mean, 350 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: so when the League was destroying stuff that was okay, 351 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't because they were No. I mean, 352 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, like you just and so. Can you blame 353 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: Tom Brady that he didn't want them to see his 354 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: cell phone with all this personal stuff on it? Can 355 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: you blame him? No? The way they behave No, No, No. 356 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: I I just always thought it was if only that 357 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: was the reason, A crazy glimpse behind the curtain with 358 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: some of the stuff that was put out by the 359 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: Patriots during that time of seeing like apoplectic Stacy James 360 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: emails to the League of like, you know, I thought 361 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: that to me, that was like some of the most 362 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: impactful stuff to just see how they're like, why would 363 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: you allow this to stand? Why? You know? So I 364 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: I just think the report came out immediate almost immediately, yeah, 365 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: like the next week and then Mortenson remember how Mortenson 366 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: refused to sort of but the report came out that 367 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: that that was the ultimate report, the eleven out of 368 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: twelve balls were grossly underinflated, right, And that was shot 369 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: down like immediately it wasn't. Yeah, it was. It was 370 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: months later. It was months later that Mortensen offered a retraction. 371 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: It was it was actually four months later, I believe, 372 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: yea before he did. But that report was immediately called 373 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: like a week later, called into question, well called in 374 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: the question. But the league, No, it was refuted the league. 375 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: The league is very quick to refute things that helped them, 376 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: but they did not refute that. The league. The league 377 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: is the one that league. No. I just don't think 378 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: there was really anything I thought yesterday was much ado about. No. 379 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: I don't the fact that they said, well, we're going 380 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 1: to do a year long study here, and then they 381 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: do the study, the study proves the Patriots contention, and 382 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: they they get rid of all that evidence. Yeah, I 383 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: just feel like, what was that. I feel exactly the 384 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: same way I did at the time. I think the 385 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: punishment and all the stuff that went along with it 386 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: was absurd. I thought I thought that then. I don't 387 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: think any differently of it today. Yeah. I also think 388 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: that they did it well did what underinflated balls? They 389 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: had it. I think they had a system in place 390 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: to doctor the balls. Yeah, I think I don't. I 391 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: don't think that they proved it. That's that's where I 392 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: would step back. I think what they did is they 393 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: took air out of balls to get it down to 394 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: the legal limit. Now you could say you're not supposed 395 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: to do that either, you know, I just said doctored balls. Yeah, 396 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: and I think they did it on a consistent basis 397 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: based on those But you know, everyone change, Everyone talks 398 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: about those text change, But in those text change was 399 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: also Brady saying to them, if you have to bring 400 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: in the rule book, bring it in to show them 401 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: that we can bring it down to twelve point five. 402 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: And nobody talks about that. You know, that's all he wanted. 403 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: He wanted it down to the lowest limit, and you 404 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: know they would the rest would puff it back down 405 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: against the Jets, right, That's what That's when he went 406 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: ballistic because it was up to thirteen point five or whatever. 407 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: His guys got mad at them for yelling at them whatever. 408 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, they probably did. That's what they said, 409 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: he'll be throwing medicine balls. Yeah, you know, so I 410 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: don't really want to get into that. I think I like, 411 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: I like I said, I said it at the time, 412 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: and I'll say it now. It was the most ridiculous, 413 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: overblown story ever in The punishment was absurd. The punishment 414 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: was absolutely absurd. He did not deserve to get suspended 415 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: at all, and the Patriots didn't deserve to lose what 416 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: they lost in terms of draft picks. But freaking league, 417 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: and and what happened early on, and some of this 418 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: is the Patriot's fault too. People like on both sides, 419 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: the league and the Patriots dug their heels and it 420 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: became such an ego thing. That's why you became such 421 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: an ego thing. Yeah, it's so weird that the NFL's 422 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: relationship with its teams with the media. It's I can't 423 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: think of anything else like it in any avenue of 424 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: life of how the NFL r if you ever in 425 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: all seriousness, and I know that there's a lot of 426 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: corporate you know, uh, missteps in all walks of life, 427 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: but I can't imagine that an organization that's as successful 428 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: as the NFL that makes consistently more mistakes in the 429 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: pr realm, Like right down to this Brian Flores lawsuit 430 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: that within two hours they put out a statement saying 431 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: it's without merit. Right then the next day they admit 432 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna look into this throwing of the games. Then 433 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: two days later it's like this grandiose statement from Roger 434 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: Goodell about the hiring practices and we need to look 435 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: into discrimination. I get an idea, hop about instead of 436 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: saying just knee jerk, yeah, it's without merit, maybe do 437 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: a little research and find out. I mean, for you know, 438 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: p salient balls, we're gonna have a wells rapport. This 439 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: has no merit, right holy Cross Grad's head. But now 440 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: it's going to be you know, you're gonna get I 441 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: don't know if they'll divulge all the information. Look what 442 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: happened with Washington, There'll be enough. Haven't let those all 443 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: of that investigation be public. No, nothing will come out 444 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: that will be harmful to any owner. Do you think 445 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: that's a great point and that do you think, like 446 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: I everyone always hates Roger Goodell, and I'm like, it 447 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's just the figurehead guy who gets gets 448 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: paid a ton of money to take all the arrows. 449 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's gonna like do that job. You 450 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: think he's doing a great I don't mind that. I 451 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: don't mind that he takes the arrows he's just so 452 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: smug and arrogant while doing it, like you would think 453 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: you would just step back a little bit and say, 454 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: all right, I gotta take I gotta be the public 455 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: face of this, you know, I gotta I gotta eat 456 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: a little humble poss no self awareness ever, not just 457 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: gun right ahead without I mean, how could anyone say 458 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: that two hours later? Right? Right? But then, just like 459 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: the relationship between the owners and the league, and they 460 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: run it, but they the owners are the league, and 461 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: the owners are the league. They are what they want happen. 462 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: It's not Roger. I'm like, let's do it this way. 463 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: They do a lot of things wrong, and yeah, because 464 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: they have right, all right, it's the product on the field. 465 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: People love that game so much because you have the 466 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: last six games that went down to the last player 467 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: of the game, and we're all riveted exactly. Yeah, if 468 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: they didn't have that, then they'd be totally screwed, all right. 469 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: And then of course, you know, I know you guys 470 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: probably talked about it at link with Tom Brady last week, 471 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't think he didn't mention the page, 472 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: like don't talked about it. Yeah, but you know, since then, 473 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: stuff has come out. He's you know and everything like that. 474 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: But I thought it was interesting his comments um just 475 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: the other day about he's never never say never last yeah, 476 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: about playing again. So that's what I said Eric today, 477 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: I look America, I'm like Eric everready in this season. 478 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: So Mac got a bad game last week, maybe they'd 479 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: be the one day not even I don't think he'll 480 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: ever play for the Patriots, But what are the chances 481 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots convinced him Brady to come back and play 482 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 1: the rest of the season and win It's Super Bowl. 483 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I genally when retire, I'm always 484 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's retired. Like, no, I don't think he's 485 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: playing this year right Based on that comment, he struck 486 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: me as a guy that didn't want to retire, is 487 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: only doing it to a piece his wife. Yeah, and 488 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: maybe four or five months go by and maybe his 489 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: wife says, you know what, he's not that happy or 490 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm not happy with him. I'm not that happy. Why 491 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: don't you play? If you want to play, go play 492 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: your little game. I think he's holding the door open 493 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: for San Francisco. I think he's something. I think so. 494 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: I think because Jimmy's already said I expect to get trade. 495 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna get traded. Yeah, there's gonna be a ton 496 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, so we're gonna have to go through this 497 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: whole time. I think again always, oh, really educated they come, 498 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: you know. I think that's the best way to put it. 499 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: And I don't think anything never. You know, you never 500 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: say never, And you know, at the same time, I 501 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: know that I'm very I feel very good about my decision. 502 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: So I don't know it feels six months from now. Oh, 503 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: how's that out of Yeah, it's I don't think it's 504 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: out of content. I think he's saying what he's saying. 505 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: I think a guy who just retired and that's never 506 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: say never's overblown. No, no, yeah, I mean I heard it. 507 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: I disagree with you a little bit, Matt. I love 508 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: the fact that you got the sound in though, so 509 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: we can hear him play this is kind of what 510 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: I was talking. That was my homework, Thanks mattum action, 511 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 1: so we can actually hear his context and sort of. 512 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 1: And like I said, I disagree with Matt a little bit. 513 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a very easy answer to someone who 514 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: just retired six days before. Yeah, to say no, I'm retired. 515 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm retired. My playing days are behind. I think he's 516 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: telling you, didn't say that. He's telling you, Yeah, I'm 517 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: happy with my decision. But no, I'm never gonna say never. Like, 518 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: what do you have to be the one guy who 519 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: won't be proven a liar by saying that you tired? 520 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: If you decided to change your mind, we'll go ask Gronk. Right, 521 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: we start Gronk through the whole pony show of he's 522 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: a whole I just know Brady is gonna be driving 523 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: everybody not at home, So he's gonna be like challenging 524 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: Vivy to like games a candy lander. No no more, Dad, 525 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: imagine like losing, losing right in her face. Oh no, 526 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: I do I think he's coming back? No, I don't. 527 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: I think he's retired. But I think that answer rightly 528 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: will lead to speculation. And I think if there's a 529 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: situation that comes up, say in July, like I think 530 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: that might be what he's looking for. His superstar team 531 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: loses their quarterback to or can I keep playing but 532 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: not do all that stuff? Yeah? Oh you know, and 533 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: I know that that runs counter to him, but maybe 534 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: he kind of like Carr and OTAs, But that does Like, 535 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he would just hop on a team 536 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: who is, you know, in a crisis because their quarterback 537 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: got hurt or whatever and just to get out there. 538 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: I think I think he wants You don't think he 539 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: wants wants to be that that savior. Yeah, but I 540 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: don't I think he I think he would understand that. Yes, yes, yeah, 541 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: I don't think he knows how hard it is. Yeah, Like, 542 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: but I but I could see it. The San Francisco 543 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: forty nine ers said to him, We're gonna throw you 544 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. Come play for a year. This kid 545 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: will watch you. Because he's not ready yet. He might 546 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: do it with Tampa let him go. Well that's the 547 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: other thing, you know, they're in the same conference and yeah, yeah, 548 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: so it's complicated. But I'm with Paul. I think at 549 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day, we've seen the last of him. Yeah, 550 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: I think he's probably retired. I agree with Matt that. 551 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: You know, he did say, you know, I'm happy with 552 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: my decision, right, you know, I listened to the whole thing. 553 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: But I just don't know why you would need to say, 554 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, the door never say never leaving the door open. 555 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: I didn't even need to hear that just to know 556 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: it'll be eating him up because of how competitive he is. 557 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,719 Speaker 1: And I mean, you don't play this long in this 558 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: league without him be able to just put it down 559 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: and step asidebody days you think he's gonna make waffles. 560 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: So enough, But here's the thing you say that, like, 561 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: he would have no interest in coming back here. I 562 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past Robert Craft to be able to 563 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 1: convince him to do it. He's the ultimate bridge builder, 564 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: and now Bill would probably be helped against. What do 565 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: you do with Mac? Yeah, well Mac Max sits and 566 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: watches for a year and you think that's good. Why 567 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: not then you don't think he's as good as you've 568 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: been telling It's not as good as Tom Brady. The 569 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: only scenario where I could see that Mac, I don't 570 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: think Max good. Once again his position. Let's let's let's 571 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: say that over the next year they start adding pieces 572 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: and for you know, they become a legitimate playoff in 573 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowder again. No, in reality, the season starts, season 574 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: has started, okay, and they're like, let's say they're ten 575 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: and two and all of a sudden, Mac goes down 576 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: and he's lost for the season. Bring him in right, 577 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: and then like maybe maybe Robert picks up the phone 578 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: and says, hey, Tom, we got a chance to do 579 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: something here. And he says, that's different. Now a hero. Yeah, 580 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: I've got ten games or seven games, whatever, All right, 581 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: I'll come back. Sign me, yeah, sign And now we 582 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: have to hope that Mac gets hurt and the Patriots 583 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: are good. See again, I mean I can have that 584 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: clip played back for the again. You do not think 585 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: your quarterback is as good as Tom Brady, No as 586 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: you tell me that you think he is. No, I 587 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: think he's good. I said many men. Why would you 588 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: hope for him to get hurt so you could get 589 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: Brady back? You said, now we have to hope. I 590 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: was joking, Andy Hart. I know you're joking. I understand that. 591 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: What my point is, you shouldn't want Brady back if 592 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: you think Mac is as good as you say that 593 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: you think he is. I don't know. I just because 594 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,479 Speaker 1: right this second he's not as good as is Brady 595 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: doesn't mean Brady you don't want him to play more 596 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: experienced one more year with Tom. I don't. I don't 597 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: care who my cord we haven't even talked about the 598 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: crap The crap sheet, I guess has a report out 599 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport the Patriots may not hire an offensive coordinator 600 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: this edition gives them added leadership, I guess is something 601 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: that he may have Joe Judge out. Yeah, I don't know. 602 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't like it. Yeah, and not Judge in particular, 603 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: although I don't like that either, But that's that's beside 604 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: the point. That's just a personal thing for me. I 605 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: don't like the idea of not hiring an offensive coordinator. 606 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: Yeah I don't. I don't either. I I really don't either. 607 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: But the question is, who then is our offensive coordinat 608 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: if and if Joe Judges the facto coordinator, has they 609 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: have a call plays? I don't know. I don't believe so. 610 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: I don't know because I don't think that because he 611 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: had Jason Garrett as his OC for most of the 612 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: time there right right until they goted it half half 613 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: of the season last year, and he didn't want them. 614 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: And who was the one before that voisted upon him? 615 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: He must have had somebody the year before, but I 616 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: don't recall. No, but whatever, they weren't good at it. 617 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: The Giants offense was not good either way. It's something 618 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: new I just and it just goes back to dividing 619 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: it up. Do you have somebody who can take over? 620 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: Can Joe Judge? I got Mac in the offense? You 621 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: guys go worry about the d like it's it's it's 622 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: hard not to see Bill being spread too. That's the 623 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: thing to me. How much does Bill actually have to do? Right? 624 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: That's what worries me now, Like if Joe Judge titled 625 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: or no is is Bill's confident with him taken over 626 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: the offense, great, but he's gotta let him do that right, 627 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: you know. See if I were Bill, well, the way 628 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: I look at it. Do you remember back in the 629 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: late eighties early nineties, when Florida State was like perennially, 630 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, in the top five and competing for national championships. 631 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: There was a point there where Bobby Bowden was starting 632 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: to get towards the end there and he barely lifted 633 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: a finger. By all accounts from people who covered the 634 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: seminoles back then, he was the figurehead of the school 635 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: and the and the program, and he let all of 636 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: his assistants do pretty much everything. He would kind of 637 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: have like this perch over. Yeah, the guys like that. 638 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: He would have this kind of perch overlooking the practice 639 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: field and he would sort of watch and if he 640 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: had to chime in on something, he would, but he 641 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: would let his assistance run the show. And you know, 642 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: on game day he'd stand there on the sideline. He'd 643 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: make you know, if he calls in there and do 644 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: some things. But he was at the point in his 645 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: life and in his career where he felt like, I'm 646 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: sort of taking a step back here, and I'm you know, 647 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: easing up on things, and I trust my assistance to 648 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: do the work that's needed. I'm just the figurehead. I 649 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: would have assumed five ten years ago that by this 650 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: point Bill would be in such a position that he'd 651 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: be able to do that, he'd be able to sort 652 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: of step back and say, I have enough confidence in 653 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: my underlinks here that they can do the job. They 654 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: don't need me to be involved in every little bit 655 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: of minutia every day. And it's a little surprising to 656 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: me that at this late stage in Bill's career he 657 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: still having to be involved and do this thing, or 658 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: maybe wants to be involved and do that kind I mean, 659 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: if you're Robert Kraft. Do you pay Bill Belichick to 660 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: step back? You know, you want him involved, But on 661 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: the other hand, you don't want him spread too thin, 662 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: you know. So that's the thing, you know, it's it's 663 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: a balance there. You know, you don't pay Bill Belichick 664 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: to just kind of walk no. No. But but my 665 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: point is, like Bobby Bowden could have, like if you 666 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: saw something on defense, he'd go over there. I saw 667 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: something on special teams, he'd go over there. If Bill 668 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: is like in charge of the defense, we saw it 669 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: plenty of times where like the offense is running around 670 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: and and he's on the sideline completely faced the opposite way, 671 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: writing on a grease board, talking to his guys, no idea, 672 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 1: what's going on over there. He should be able to 673 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: know what's going on at all times with all aspects, 674 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: especially during the game, especially and in practice. Like I 675 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: think Bill has said it, like just a few years ago. 676 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: I love it because I can do whatever I want. Sure, 677 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: he can go like kind of like you know, but 678 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: in a game when it really counts, like he's not 679 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: paying attention to like right half of the game, right, 680 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: And I do you want that if you're paying him 681 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: all that? You know what I mean like he should be. 682 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and we did see that a lot, and 683 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: so something in Bill told him, I need to go 684 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: over to the defense and make sure they know what 685 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: to do. And you can interpret that. I don't trust 686 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 1: whoever else to do that, Like I need to go 687 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: over there, you know, because I can't trust that Gerard 688 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: or Steve or saying what I need I think needs 689 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: to be said here, you know. So and I you know, 690 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: I could be you know, speculating and being totally wrong, 691 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: but that's the way it looked. It's like I gotta 692 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: be over there. Yeah, you know, it's urgent. Yeah, right, 693 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: And that to me is a little bit of a 694 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: concern at this point, right, And it's just it's coincided 695 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: with a lot of these coaches departing guys like Dante Scarnekia, 696 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, trusted voices who maybe not aren't running whole units, 697 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: but are certainly capable like he does, yeh, Scar And 698 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: didn't need Bill looking over his shoulder to coaching the 699 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: old line, okay, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, 700 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: just I mean, and you know, and I don't know 701 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: how like teams in the NF I'll do it or 702 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: even this team. But I wonder if there's a balance. 703 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: The younger your team, the older your coaches need to be, 704 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like if everyone's young, that's 705 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: not good. Yeah, you know, I don't know. I don't know. 706 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, since he's a young team with a young coach, 707 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: and LA has a young head coach, but that's an 708 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: old team. But it's an older team. Yeah, so there 709 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: you go. I mean, I don't know what their average ages, 710 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: but they have a lot of veterans that they've traded for. Yeah. Yeah, 711 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: I just would Stafford Miller, back Backham, Jalen Ramsay, guys 712 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: that were already established in the NFL, and they got 713 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: traded for OBJ, who, by the way, said he was 714 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: very very very very close to being a paid four 715 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: I believe it was four veterans, right, And then for 716 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: me this morning also said that about the Saints. Oh really, 717 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: then it was close. I don't know how many varies. 718 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: I don't know we had four variers though. I did 719 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: read into that though, because he said something something along 720 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: the lines of, yes, if Brady was years ago, if 721 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: Brady were here, I'd just signed, right, that's why. And 722 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: then they said, you know, I would have been honored 723 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: to play, you know, for Bill, but it was really 724 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: Brady who was the deciding factory. I'm like, I'm like, ah, 725 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: they reached out to me, but they're not what they 726 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: used to be, right. I went to the team that's 727 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: a super Bowl and I know that everyone said, like 728 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: Obj has been great in the LA and I still 729 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: don't trust him. I don't got that one too, Matt. 730 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: I don't very, very, very very I don't trust Ob 731 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: j you know, like things are good right now? Yes, 732 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: you know, and like even after that last game, who 733 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: was I forget the quarterback? He went over to console afterwards, 734 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: he um, after the game, Uh, Jimmy Jimmy. No, No, 735 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: so it was the game before that? Then? No, who's 736 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: ob j oh No, it was the wide receiver. Yeah, 737 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: he comes after having a strong show and makes this 738 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: job teas this big show of consoling Deebo Samuel even 739 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: that I don't trust you'll get there, but I don't 740 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: trust the motivation there. Like, was that for Deebo Samuel? 741 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: Was that for me? Well, I think there's a lot. 742 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think there's a lot of 743 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: that in those kinds of things. Yeah, I will say 744 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: in full maya culpa mode. I was wrong about Odell 745 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: Beckham um in someone. You know, we were talking about 746 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: this on Twitter the other day with someone and he 747 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: agreed with me at the time, and we you know, 748 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: we were wrong. He's made an impact, oh yeah, for 749 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: the Rams. I didn't think he would. I thought Bobby Trees. 750 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, I mean, it'd be interesting if Bobby 751 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: Trees didn't get hurt what he would be doing, and 752 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: if that lesser role that he would have would have 753 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: caused a problem. But that wasn't an issue here. Yeah, 754 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: because he would have come here and been the he'd 755 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: been the guy. It'd have been the guy. So I 756 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: didn't think he had this kind of production in him 757 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: at this stage. I thought the injuries had taken a toll. 758 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean not saying I thought he was overrated. I 759 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: don't think he was overrated. I think he was a 760 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: great player. I just thought that the injuries had slowed 761 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: him down a little bit. I was wrong, Yeah, I 762 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: mean production was absolutely But I'm just talking about the 763 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: other things, you know, like when things don't go well, 764 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: who is he? I still don't trust that, I you know, 765 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: is he still under contract for another year with the 766 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: Rams orus this it. I thought it was a one 767 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: year Yeah, it was a one year deal. I wouldn't 768 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: take him back. No, especially after you said maybe if 769 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: Brady was there, well he might be shows you with 770 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: his true feelings, you know. Yeah. Well that's why I'm 771 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: like easy on the varries, like were you really considering 772 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: it or did they just reach out very very He's 773 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 1: like the pen got like an inch to that. No, 774 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: I can't do it. I'm gonna go to the Ram. Yeah, 775 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: he's he's a free agent. And by the way, he 776 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: didn't get anything from the Rams. Now it's like a 777 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 1: million bucks, so it's not like, you know, the Patriots said, yeah, 778 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: we'll take you for the minimum. He's like, no, no, 779 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: But all things being even if both teams are giving 780 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: me a million bucks, I'll go with the Rams, you know, 781 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: because they're close closer, Right, I'm just saying, it's not 782 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: like the Rams, you know, outbid everybody. Yeah, they didn't 783 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: pay anything for but they're more settled teams. Absolutely, all right, 784 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: all a lot of stuff on the table. Five pats 785 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: five hundred is the ace ticket hut Line web radio 786 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: at Patriots dot com. Um did I miss anything? Well, 787 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 1: the pro Bowl. We kind of glanced over Mac and 788 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if you caught any of it other 789 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: than the Mac um Yeah, but it was just I 790 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: had to google what gritty. Yeah. I wasn't planning on 791 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: watching it. My dad wanted to see Mac play a 792 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: little bit, so we turned it on at the start 793 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 1: of the game. And I knew Mac wasn't gonna be 794 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: the starter, but we turned it on and the first 795 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: ten minutes I'm like, this is this is atrocious. Yeah. 796 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: I mean, if I were a paying fan, I would 797 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: have gone to the ticket office immediately and demanded a refund. 798 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just a bunch of clown guys 799 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: clowning around like it's less than a walkthrough. I mean, 800 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: I've seen more competitive flag football games. Yeah. Everyone, I know, 801 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: it was horrendous. Everyone the same thing. Everyone had the 802 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: same reaction. I was like, my wife was like, why 803 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: are you laughing so hard right now? I'm like, this 804 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: is a joke right now. I don't even know if 805 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: they're playing two hand in touch or like kind of 806 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: wrapp The reps were in on it, because they were 807 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: blowing the whistle immediately. They were I tell you, I mean, 808 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: like on the risk knew what was going on because 809 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: as soon as the guy would make contact, they did, 810 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: they come rushing in to set the ball down, and 811 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 1: like it's like they knew going in that this was 812 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna be as as you know, I did not watch 813 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: and have not watched UM in fifteen plus years, So 814 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: I do have a quick que I will tell that story. Second, 815 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 1: I just a quick question to those that that did 816 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: watch and do watch on a semi regular basis to 817 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, like was this a march departure? Like, yeah, 818 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: even wat was it even worse? Because I remember the 819 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: whole You know that the infamous Sean Taylor lighting up 820 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: the poor punter Brian Morman. Yeah, um, when, by the way, 821 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: Belichick called a fake punt in the Pro Bowl, got 822 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: a punter absolutely killed. Um hit to the head. That 823 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 1: would have been a pounter. That hit stood out so 824 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: much because it was in a Pro Bowl, right, because 825 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: you don't hit like that in a Pro Bowl. So 826 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: that had a punter that was a long time ago. Yeah, 827 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if this was just sort of a 828 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: continuation of what's been happening with the Pro Bowl. I 829 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: don't watch, so I don't have anything to compare it 830 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: to but what Deuce is laughing at is Beth. And 831 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: now you're just like watching Succession Sunday night. We're watching 832 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: that instead of the Pro Bowl. And Beth is on 833 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: her phone and just scroll and she's like, oh, Mac 834 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: ran sixty five yards for a touchdown. And I said, no, 835 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 1: he didn't. I hadn't. I hadn't seen anything. I had 836 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: no idea what was going on. Yeah, And she's like, well, 837 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: what do you mean it's right here? I said, there's 838 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: no way under any kind of live circumstance Mac Jones 839 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: ran sixty five yards for a touchdown. It just it 840 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: can't happen unless everyone fell down last, right, or it 841 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: was like one of those things where you have like 842 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: a young kid and everybody like And then she's like 843 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: talking to me about the Pro Bowl dance and everything. 844 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,359 Speaker 1: I go, that's justin jeffer That that's the gritty. That's 845 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: justin Jeffersons dance. I don't know what it means, but 846 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: that's what they call it, the gritty. And she's just like, 847 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: how do you know, let me see. I go, yeah, 848 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: see right here, the referee running over Like I said, 849 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: that was about a four yard run right, I said 850 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: the rest of it. Everybody stopped. She's like, uh, yeah, 851 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: you're right. I go, yeah, he's not capable of running 852 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: sixty five yards with NFL players chasing him right and 853 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 1: winning the race. I had to google gritty. I didn't 854 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: know what that. Man. I knew the Justin Jefferson dance 855 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: when my kid was doing, but I'm like, what is 856 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: the gritty Everyone was telling the gritty the Gritty degree. 857 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: I didn't know that was the name of the dance. Well, 858 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: that's what they call it on the highlights all the time. 859 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: But I don't, you know, I don't know where. I 860 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: don't know where it came from. I don't know what 861 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: it means. I can't do it. I can't dance. You 862 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: have your own dance, you know. Good for Mac to 863 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 1: get that experience and get out there. And that was 864 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: a cool away. He won the skill Squad, he won 865 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: the accuracy Um. Yeah, he had an interception when he 866 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,720 Speaker 1: won the thread the Needle he s yeah, the accuracy 867 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson put on a display. Um. But that stuff 868 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: was fun. It was just cool. I like that was 869 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: They were all very cold that and I think it 870 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: was Thursday night. Yeah, yeah, it was very cold. The 871 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: announcers had like the puffy coats on, like it was 872 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: that cold desert cool. Yeah, night, it gets cold to night. 873 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: Back on watching Mac get to just interact with all 874 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: those NFL stars and and just to see him in 875 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: that position, and it's just a nice cap for a season, 876 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: little chill. I enjoyed some of the skill stuff. I 877 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 1: watched the accuracy, and I watched the thread the needle. 878 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: I thought skilled himself. He picked off up and he 879 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: ran into like the corner of the board where the 880 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: targets are. I thought he was dead. I thought for 881 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 1: sure he heard his shoulder. Yeah, like I thought he 882 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: had done something. He's something because he stopped after that, which, 883 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 1: by the way, is kind of why Mac won. Right 884 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 1: the thread the needle, Uh, well, he threw he so 885 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: he threw an interception obviously, the pick six to Digs 886 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 1: here against the Cowboys. Then he threw the pit. He 887 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 1: threw an interception to him in that, and then in 888 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl he threw so he's thrown it three 889 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: interceptions to Digs. With with the write and centives. With 890 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: the write and centives, you can make basketball and baseball 891 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: are worthwhile. All Star Game You can't do it with 892 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: hockey and football. You just can't because that's not the 893 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: way the games. Even say hockey a little bit, you 894 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 1: probably could be football. It's just non it's just hard 895 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: to dictate. It's hard to take the physicality out of 896 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: the games. Yeah, I think what the what the NHL 897 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 1: is done is as good as you can make it. 898 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 1: They've set up the divisions and they play three on 899 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,720 Speaker 1: three games and it's kind of like a round robin 900 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: tournament yea, and the winner so it's all skilled and 901 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: you're not I mean, three on three under normal circumstances 902 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: isn't very physical. You can't be right. So I think 903 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,240 Speaker 1: that's a good solution for that. You can't do anything 904 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: with football. The only sport that you can really play 905 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: real is baseball. Yeah, but to your point, you could 906 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: say to basketball players, yeah, extra extra five million per 907 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: per player on the right, and they'll play defense. Yeah, 908 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, and they'll play team absolutely. All right, five 909 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: five passive hundred ticket hut line. Let's go to the 910 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 1: ah ticket line. Marks and Bolton, what's up? Mark day? 911 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,359 Speaker 1: To give up a legal drug? All right? What's the madam? Mark? 912 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: The offensive coaching situation is as reported, Bill making sure 913 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 1: there's no long term ascension plan for head coach, and 914 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: that's just how he wants it. I mean, I think 915 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: he's like holding out for the long haul, hope for 916 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: his kids and okay, a Mark, let me, I'm gonna 917 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna wean you off of 918 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: the heroin that you're doing. So we're gonna, I'm gonna 919 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: help you out here for a second. This is something 920 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,919 Speaker 1: that Fred taught me twenty years ago. The next head 921 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: coach of the Patriots will not have anything to do 922 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,720 Speaker 1: with only what Bill Belichick wants. He might have some input, 923 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: it's not but it won't be his decision to make. 924 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,839 Speaker 1: It will be Robert and Jonathan Kraft's decision. Right. So 925 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: the fact that there's if there is, like the fact 926 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: that Josh McDaniels is no longer here, does not do 927 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 1: anything to that. If Robert wanted Josh McDaniels when he 928 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: was here, then he had a chance to succeed Bill Belichick. 929 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: If he didn't, it wouldn't matter if he was still here. 930 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,359 Speaker 1: And Steve Belichick isn't any closer to being the head 931 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: coach that succeeds his father. Unless Robert and Jonathan Kraft 932 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: want it that way, it's their decision. It will be 933 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 1: their choice, not Bills, right, and I'm all in on 934 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: that Oka saying there is no ascension plan right now, 935 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: But you don't need an ascension plan. You need to 936 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,399 Speaker 1: know who Robert and Jonathan want to be the next 937 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: co I mean, really, look at every team in the league. 938 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 1: There's very few teams that have their head coach on 939 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 1: their staff. The next head coach they just had never 940 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: just had nine openings, one of them went to a 941 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: guy on staff. If I'm not two and Dennis Allen right, 942 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: two out of the nine went to guys that were 943 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: on the staff, and you could question why that happened. Well, 944 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: my further point is that in Bill avoiding the two 945 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: outside minority oct candidates by avoiding the Rooney rule, I 946 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: really think Bob and Jonathan are going to step in 947 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: and they're gonna make their own organizational statement right here, 948 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,320 Speaker 1: and that's going to appoint Gerard Mayo as the assistant 949 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: head coach. And reason being that all needs. I think 950 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 1: the organizational coaching experience and the paths need him. I 951 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 1: think the players want him, and it will separate Mayo 952 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: from you know, from the kids, and it also, you know, 953 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: does set up a situation where maybe it also enhances 954 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: Mayo's ability to leave here. But either way, something's got 955 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 1: to change organizationally, and I think that Bob and Jonathan 956 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: aren't just going to let this mishmash go on what 957 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 1: we got right now. Yeah, the last thing I'd want 958 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: is the Crafts, Robert or Jonathan to start you know, 959 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 1: you call it meddling, but getting more involved than they 960 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,919 Speaker 1: have been. Now this is not Listen, if the team 961 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 1: stinks for the next couple of years, Bill is going 962 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: to be gone, you know, So the Crafts aren't going 963 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,839 Speaker 1: to get involved in that. And like, I don't know, 964 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: Like I don't know if Gerard Mayo's anybody than Steve Belichick, 965 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that, you know, So, like why would 966 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: they do that? I know, I listen, We'll see what happens. 967 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: If anything that or the outward look at the organization. No, no, 968 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 1: they're doing right now it looks like no, it's it's 969 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 1: about winning football games. Right, that's gonna that's gonna cause 970 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: all kinds of problems if you did that, even if 971 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: you thought it was the right thing to do you know, 972 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they would do that. Yeah. I don't 973 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 1: think you need to worry about that as much as 974 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: you think, Mark. Yeah, I think it'll be up to 975 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: the crafts. Yeah yeah, well yeah, and I think they're 976 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,760 Speaker 1: going to do something about it, all right, But anyway, 977 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: all right, thanks Mark. I don't think something needs to 978 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: be not about not right now. Yeah, No, you know, 979 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: I think, Mark, you know, I think I don't think 980 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,839 Speaker 1: you should get back on I just don't think that 981 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 1: you need to spend time worrying about is there a 982 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: guy on the staff that's in line to replace the 983 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: head coach. I don't think any other team thinks of 984 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: it that one. No, I don't know why it would 985 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: have to be that way. For all I know, there's 986 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: a guy that that Robert Kraft has targeted for the 987 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: replacement for Bill Belichick for years and we just don't 988 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,240 Speaker 1: know who it is. I mean, think about it. There's 989 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 1: two reason. Yeah, there's two reasons why you lose your coach. 990 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 1: He retires or things are bad, right, you know, And 991 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: usually it's when things are bad, you know, and now 992 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: with Bill it could be you know, it's rare that 993 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,879 Speaker 1: you have a guy that stays that long. But when 994 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 1: things go bad and you bring in a new head coach, 995 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna bring all his people with him, right if, if, 996 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,800 Speaker 1: and if things go bad, and you know, you probably 997 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: want him to do a full makeover. You know, if 998 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: things are bad, you don't want necessarily elevate someone who's 999 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: already here, you know, because that person could have been 1000 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 1: part of the problem for all, you know. You know, 1001 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 1: so it's just rare that you have that type of 1002 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 1: thing happen, you know. Yeah, it just makes me think 1003 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: of how Fears and Scarnekia kind of stuck through some 1004 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 1: of those scenarios and we're able to stay stick around, 1005 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: and that kind of that doesn't really happen as much. 1006 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess he can watch what goes down 1007 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 1: in Miami and other places with the new coaches, but 1008 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: you know, those old school coaches who kind of come 1009 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 1: with the organization, it feels like fewer and few of 1010 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,760 Speaker 1: the girard how long has he been on the staff, 1011 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: Like four years? Yes, maybe he was the Minority Coaching Fellowship. 1012 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 1: I believe like this was his third Okay season, So 1013 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 1: we don't even know if he if he was given 1014 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 1: a coordinator, we don't even know if he could be 1015 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 1: a good coordinator yet on his own, and we're gonna 1016 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 1: like room him to be the head coach. Like I 1017 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 1: just like I'm not telling you yay or nay on 1018 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: Gerard Mayo as a head coach. I'm just telling you 1019 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 1: do you know, But it's not important whether the next 1020 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: head coach is currently on the Patriots staff, right, Like 1021 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: I just that doesn't matter. I want to know who 1022 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 1: Robert and Jonathan have in mind for the next head coach. 1023 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: Obviously they're not going to tell us publicly, but it 1024 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a guy on the staff if 1025 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 1: it is, great, but it doesn't need to be that. Yeah, 1026 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: look at how they got Bill, right, I mean that 1027 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: was they got introduced to him and then he was 1028 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: with the Jets, and I mean that was something that 1029 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 1: was kind of simmering behind the scenes. So maybe something 1030 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, getting a new head coach is a big 1031 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 1: deal in NFL. It's it's a big big change. You know, 1032 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 1: the guy, if he's and if he's genuine, he's going 1033 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: to be totally different than the guy you just replaced, 1034 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 1: and you gotta let him come in and build his 1035 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 1: staff the way he wants it, and especially when things 1036 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 1: went bad, and that's why you're changing coaches, you know. 1037 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: So I like that Sean Payton though, no, I mean 1038 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 1: I like that Sean Payton is a guy who was 1039 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 1: going to get bad. I mean he said it flat out. 1040 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 1: He's taking a year off. He's not retiring, right, So 1041 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: maybe he's a guy that down the road you you 1042 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,719 Speaker 1: would drive, there could be guys like that. There might 1043 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: be some guy that that you know, like Robert met 1044 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: Bill in ninety six and got a really good vibe 1045 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,279 Speaker 1: from there might be a guy right that he got 1046 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 1: a really good vibe from five years ago who was 1047 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: sort of working his way up the ranks, and maybe 1048 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: he has him in mind. I always liked that guy, 1049 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 1: right whatever. I can tell you this, though, Patriots fans, 1050 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: you can be you can sleep well at night knowing 1051 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,320 Speaker 1: that Jonathan Robert Craft are thinking about this, what's next 1052 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: after Billy. They have been researching people, and they keep 1053 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 1: their douce, you know, you know, and whether it's a 1054 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 1: whole team of people doing that for them, they are 1055 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 1: thinking steps ahead. I can guarantee you get your hand 1056 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: movements in check, and maybe you can be a camera 1057 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I'll work on it. Thank you for 1058 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 1: the criticism. Were rhythmic, Um, I can't I can't walk 1059 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 1: with a pep.

We know the real reason 1078 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: why he would choose to replace Mack. He saw Mac 1079 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,000 Speaker 1: having fun celebrating his TV in the Pro Bowl. Enough, 1080 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 1: all jokes aside. How would you guys grade his performance 1081 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl? Um, it's like see, I mean 1082 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,479 Speaker 1: you have to grade the Pro Bowl first? Yeah? Well, first, 1083 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 1: it was completely ridiculous. I thought them the touchdown throw 1084 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,399 Speaker 1: he had, um was nice.

He looked pretty cut. Yeah, he looked. He 1092 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: looked very good in the uniform, although he did reveal 1093 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: he's got to get rid of the ice cream.

Some of these other stars 1098 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 1: around the NFL get to know him a little bit. 1099 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 1: And who knows down the line, one of these guys 1100 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,399 Speaker 1: maybe gets a chance to play with him, knows him 1101 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,439 Speaker 1: a little bit.

Seems like overseas 1281 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 1: general refers to Europe or Asia. You'd be correct emailing Yeah, right, No, 1282 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you said it at the top of the emails. 1283 01:05:54,640 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 1: And then why why is that not considered overseas? South America? Yeah, 1284 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 1: it's the same hemisphere. Could you get there without going 1285 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:07,520 Speaker 1: over a sea? Yeah? I guess you could. Yeah, yeah, 1286 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 1: I suppose you could get there without going over the sea. Right, 1287 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 1: Usually if you cross an ocean or a sea, it's oversea. Yeah, 1288 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 1: but I would typically anything international if I know you're trying. 1289 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,000 Speaker 1: I know you're trying. I like your explanation, but I 1290 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 1: would agree with you. I wouldn't consider South America over Yes, 1291 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 1: I just think it's a it's a synonym for international 1292 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,840 Speaker 1: oversea people say internationally. They use it interchangeably international and 1293 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 1: over Canada over He brought that home. No, okay, he 1294 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 1: brought that's that's neighbor. It's international, not all international. He 1295 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 1: brought that home. Though. I liked what he just did there. 1296 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 1: It's it's synonymous with international, but it's not right right 1297 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:54,120 Speaker 1: right with the ready is Canada, Mexico. That's another great 1298 01:06:54,280 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: moment from all right back here. Patriots unfilter fives, web radio, 1299 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Patriots dot Com, the email address, many emails. Oh we 1300 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,840 Speaker 1: got a lot. Yeah. Bill says, uh, what do you 1301 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 1: make of Odell Beckham saying he was interested in the Patriots. 1302 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:21,360 Speaker 1: We talked about that. Um, yeah, yeah a few years ago. 1303 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,080 Speaker 1: Since he's uh free agent next year, do you see 1304 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 1: Bill making a play for him. No, because they don't 1305 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,800 Speaker 1: have Tom Brady. No, And he said that's why he 1306 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 1: would have played here. I know, I'm having a real 1307 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 1: hard time getting amped up about free agency. Of potential 1308 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 1: moves comes first for the draft. It's just hard to 1309 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 1: know how they're gonna how they're gonna take care of 1310 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 1: their own house, and then what are they gonna have 1311 01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,240 Speaker 1: money to go spend on make a splash guy or two. 1312 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 1: I've been, yeah, I've been. I've been thinking of this too, 1313 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,480 Speaker 1: because we're starting to do our um, you know, get 1314 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:57,040 Speaker 1: our snapshots ready for for free agency, and they might 1315 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 1: have to, you know, bite the bullet here and go 1316 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 1: do what we kind of were asking for and play 1317 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: a lot of these younger players because I don't know 1318 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 1: if they're gonna be able to sign, not gonna be 1319 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,439 Speaker 1: able to draft a lot of players because they don't 1320 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 1: have the draft capital. They have like six picks right now, 1321 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 1: and I don't know, you know, unless they make a 1322 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,440 Speaker 1: bunch of trades to acquire picks, they're not going to 1323 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,880 Speaker 1: have that many. They might have to, you know, go 1324 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: with what they've got for this coming season for the 1325 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 1: most part. I mean they're gonna obviously make a few additions, 1326 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 1: but could be like last year, we call him the 1327 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: Deadwood linebackers. I mean that whole second level of guys 1328 01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 1: and you know, throw in Harvey Longy and Terres Hall, 1329 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Jennings, he still exists. I guess I'm trying to 1330 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 1: figure out he didn't play it all this year, so 1331 01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,719 Speaker 1: I guess his contract would toll Is that correct or 1332 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 1: how does it It doesn't toll, No, so it just 1333 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,320 Speaker 1: rolls over to this year. I don't think. I don't 1334 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 1: think it tolls them was a pup. I think he 1335 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 1: ended up on that cons as a year. Yeah, and 1336 01:08:56,320 --> 01:09:00,559 Speaker 1: you know it's get back to that coordinator talk on defense. 1337 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 1: If it is going to be a young defense, that's 1338 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 1: more reason to have Bill looking after it. Right. It's 1339 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,760 Speaker 1: an experience that I just I'll never forget. And I've 1340 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,880 Speaker 1: said it before Iver, I'll never forget ninety six lawyer 1341 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,600 Speaker 1: Malloy when Bill had just gotten here and it was 1342 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,600 Speaker 1: at Bryant College at training camp, and Malloy gets in 1343 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: front of the media at access and says, this guy's 1344 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 1: a genius. He makes it seem so simple, like you 1345 01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 1: can really understand what he's saying, you know, And I 1346 01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,800 Speaker 1: think that's been part of Bill's you know, superpower is 1347 01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 1: being able to make the players understand what their job is. 1348 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,720 Speaker 1: This is what you're supposed to do, and that's who 1349 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 1: you want talking to young kids, right. Sure, any coach 1350 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,639 Speaker 1: that can make it simple look an break that because 1351 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 1: we always hear about how complex their playbook is and 1352 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 1: their system. And if you can do that and get 1353 01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,639 Speaker 1: somebody up to speed very quickly. Great, it just doesn't 1354 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,679 Speaker 1: always work. But if you're doing that and now you're 1355 01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,400 Speaker 1: spending more time on offense, because I that's what I 1356 01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,639 Speaker 1: worry about. So it's like, we got to define these roles. 1357 01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,680 Speaker 1: The players need to know who to listen to at 1358 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: all times. Yeah. So, but you know, we could be 1359 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 1: way off. Maybe that is just the case, and these 1360 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 1: defensive players that we were hearing from are just making 1361 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 1: excuses because they're embarrassed. You know. Oh that could be too. Yeah. 1362 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't dismiss that, you know. So I was just 1363 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,640 Speaker 1: looking up Paul, you always put my rider up to 1364 01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 1: these things with Mike Reece, and he mentioned the Patriots 1365 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,720 Speaker 1: strong draft class in a tweet. I'm trying to find 1366 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: it right now, but I just found it interesting that 1367 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,960 Speaker 1: he also mentioned Ronnie Perkins in that tweet as a 1368 01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, just he highlighted him as somebody and you know, 1369 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 1: he's just a guy that I feel like came out 1370 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,639 Speaker 1: of last year and not really know him much about 1371 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 1: at all. I mean, I'd love to feel some kind 1372 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:47,519 Speaker 1: of positive hope for him. I just thought it was 1373 01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: interesting that that Reese kind of highlighted him a little bit. 1374 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they've got some hope for him. I'd love to 1375 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:54,760 Speaker 1: hear that they had some kind of hope for some 1376 01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 1: of those guys to maybe emerge into some kind of 1377 01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,680 Speaker 1: significant role next year, because right now I don't I 1378 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,200 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen if High Tower hangs 1379 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 1: him up and they don't retain Bentley or I think 1380 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,200 Speaker 1: Vanoy come very young squad, could you see them? I mean, 1381 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 1: I think that they need the depth with somebody like 1382 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,439 Speaker 1: van Noy right now. But could you also make a 1383 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: case that let's turn it over and let's go, you know, 1384 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 1: fully youth movement with it with the second level. Maybe 1385 01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 1: that's too much, um, but I'm curious if High Tower 1386 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:23,720 Speaker 1: wants to keep playing that. That's a that's a big 1387 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:25,879 Speaker 1: first piece of it. I think, uh spi and Fresno 1388 01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 1: writes and Bill is the greatest coach ever and therefore 1389 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 1: a great leader, But that doesn't mean he perfectly embodies 1390 01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: all desirable leadership traits. Specifically, I wonder if he's subpart 1391 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,960 Speaker 1: at delegating. I've struggled with that in leadership positions, always 1392 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 1: thinking I'll just do it myself and paying the price 1393 01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 1: for taking on too much work, the strategically assistance. Maybe 1394 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:53,240 Speaker 1: it's just something Bill isn't particularly good at thoughts, reasonable 1395 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,599 Speaker 1: thoughts and all seriousness. Sure, he's got a lot, a 1396 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,080 Speaker 1: lot to manage. I mean it's it's a whole whole 1397 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 1: army of people that do a number of different things. 1398 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,879 Speaker 1: Hard hard to know without being behind the scenes exactly 1399 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,280 Speaker 1: who's doing what. But I mean it just gets harder 1400 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,479 Speaker 1: is he gets older and he loses you know, trusted. 1401 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 1: And I'll go back to the nine. We got more 1402 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:17,920 Speaker 1: traction out of that, oh nine football life, m for 1403 01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,720 Speaker 1: the for the Patriots. You know, I just can't get 1404 01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:21,960 Speaker 1: these guys to play the way. That's the money line 1405 01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,880 Speaker 1: from that. There was also a scene, Um, I don't 1406 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,600 Speaker 1: have any idea what part of the season it was in, 1407 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:32,439 Speaker 1: but Bill is sitting down watching film with Tom Yep 1408 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,080 Speaker 1: and they're going over the offense and the game plan 1409 01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,560 Speaker 1: and X Y would do this, would do that that, 1410 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: And Tom gets up and he says, Okay, I'll go 1411 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 1: tell BILLYO. And my immediate reaction was, that's how the 1412 01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 1: game plan gets formulated Bill and Tom and then they 1413 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,240 Speaker 1: disseminate that information through the coordinators, who then install it 1414 01:12:55,320 --> 01:13:00,519 Speaker 1: during the week. It's not like the mad professor offensive 1415 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:04,080 Speaker 1: coordinator saying, oh, we'll do this this. I think Bill 1416 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 1: has always done everything, yeah, and I think at this 1417 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:10,920 Speaker 1: at this stage of his career, maybe he's not quite 1418 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 1: able slash willing to do everything as well as he 1419 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 1: once did. Yeah. Yeah. Just to corroborate that a little bit, 1420 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 1: I posted. I wrote a long thing this week or 1421 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 1: today about quarterbacks second year development will kind of you know, improvement, 1422 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,960 Speaker 1: and found a few different sources about you know, quarterbacks 1423 01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 1: who play right away, guys who get east into it, 1424 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,759 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But I talked to J. T. O'Sullivan, 1425 01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,600 Speaker 1: who did a lot of great videos last year, and 1426 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: one little bit of insight that he provided was he 1427 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 1: was only here briefly, I think in six as part 1428 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 1: of the practice squad, but said it was one of 1429 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 1: the only places where the quarterback and the head coach 1430 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 1: had so much direct contact together and he wasn't you know, 1431 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 1: obviously he's out on the outside now. Unsure if that 1432 01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,679 Speaker 1: continues with Mac, but I think it kind of backs 1433 01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 1: up that that, you know, Bill's connection to at least 1434 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 1: Tom and most likely Mac, now that there's something that 1435 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 1: doesn't and exist around the league, and he'd been third 1436 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: of the league, he said he played and if this 1437 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:04,760 Speaker 1: was the only place where he saw that much of 1438 01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback and the head coach direct interactions, to me, 1439 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:12,160 Speaker 1: that's weird. Like I would think that on all teams 1440 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,639 Speaker 1: the head coach and the most important position player has 1441 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,320 Speaker 1: a lot of direct contact. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe 1442 01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: they like to keep the distance in case, you know, 1443 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,800 Speaker 1: let the coordinator be that person and so I could 1444 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:26,519 Speaker 1: be the bad guy. And you wonder it now with 1445 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 1: all like and we talked about last week with the 1446 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 1: Sean McVay line, I guess, which is kind of the 1447 01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,519 Speaker 1: Shanahan line, but just all those coordinating. Now you've got 1448 01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 1: Mike Mike McDaniel going to Miami. Maybe it's different for 1449 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,799 Speaker 1: that group because they seem so tightly connected to the quarterback. 1450 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean, everything was Stafford and that decision that went 1451 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: in to move on from Golf and Vic they I 1452 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 1: wonder if guys like Shanahan, McVey, you know, the guy 1453 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 1: in sinc, etc. Those guys maybe they have Maybe they 1454 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:56,120 Speaker 1: do have more since they seem so offensively geared towards this. Yeah, 1455 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: chat and Atlanta writes in I emailed in months ago 1456 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 1: about how it was impressed with how the team was 1457 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,400 Speaker 1: performing and that really anything more than what they have 1458 01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:08,000 Speaker 1: been accomplishing would be gravy. Fred Peggett right at the time, 1459 01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,280 Speaker 1: while Paul kind of missed the point. They made it 1460 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,559 Speaker 1: to the freaking playoffs. My record prediction was almost the 1461 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 1: same as Eric's, plus another loss with a rookie quarterback, 1462 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,040 Speaker 1: an older defense, and mediocre receivers. I didn't have very 1463 01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 1: high hopes, so after they surpassed my expectations, any other 1464 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 1: positive accomplishments for the season was just extra gravy on top. 1465 01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm pleased with how things went, and I'm very excited 1466 01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,600 Speaker 1: for the future of the team. I would ask that 1467 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:39,000 Speaker 1: you send it in an email for Thursday and let 1468 01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: us know what you think they'll do next year, because 1469 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,640 Speaker 1: I agree with everything. I agree with everything he just wrote. 1470 01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:47,760 Speaker 1: If you, Eric, what did you think they were going 1471 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:49,320 Speaker 1: to go seven and ten? So if you thought they 1472 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,720 Speaker 1: were going to go six and eleven, this was a 1473 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 1: wild success. You thought they sucked, so they were a 1474 01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:00,479 Speaker 1: playoff team, So they were, you know, are eight distance 1475 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 1: away from what you thought they were going to be 1476 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,519 Speaker 1: in the positive direction. Of course, you were were you 1477 01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,519 Speaker 1: we thrilled? I think a lot of other people thought 1478 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,800 Speaker 1: they were a playoff team. They made the playoffs and 1479 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 1: then got blown out in the playoffs, so some other 1480 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 1: people aren't as excited about the progress that they made it. 1481 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that a fair way to look at it? 1482 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:19,639 Speaker 1: If you thought they were going to win six games 1483 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,559 Speaker 1: and they win ten. There were some people, that's huge 1484 01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 1: that I remember at the beginning of the season saying 1485 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,679 Speaker 1: that this team would be a bust if they didn't 1486 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Remember they were talking about how, you know, 1487 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,920 Speaker 1: after all the moves and one hundred and seventy million 1488 01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 1: dollars and not make the playoffs some people and I 1489 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,519 Speaker 1: thought those people were you know, a little you know, 1490 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 1: over zealous in making those I did too, I thought 1491 01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:42,680 Speaker 1: they I thought they had a chance to be a 1492 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 1: playoff team. Yeah, but it's it's so specific with that season, 1493 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,000 Speaker 1: and there were a lot of things that I loved 1494 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 1: about that season. I mean, I thought, even those losses 1495 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys and the Bucks, what fun games. I mean, 1496 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 1: just to the atmosphere, it felt like you were part 1497 01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 1: of something. I agree. That's what changed from the beginning 1498 01:16:58,120 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 1: of the season to the end of the season. When 1499 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 1: they lost a bad teams early, you felt like you 1500 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,200 Speaker 1: were right there. When they lost to the better teams late, 1501 01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like And that feeds to it to 1502 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 1: my next point of you know, as much as I 1503 01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 1: thought that they would be on the cusp and a 1504 01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:12,640 Speaker 1: nine ten win team and get in the playoffs and 1505 01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,679 Speaker 1: that's kind of what they did, the way it looked 1506 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 1: at the end was gross, you know, and it's hard 1507 01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:18,479 Speaker 1: to like resign yourself and be like, yeah, but it 1508 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 1: was great, and it also is I think it's just 1509 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,160 Speaker 1: a continuation of my bigger point going in this offseason, 1510 01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 1: which is like, well, that's your one of the bree build. 1511 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:27,680 Speaker 1: Certainly things will be better next year, right Like, I 1512 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,840 Speaker 1: don't think that that's a shirt. I think that they've 1513 01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,120 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do that there's a 1514 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:33,639 Speaker 1: lot of turnover. Last season was last season, and mac 1515 01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,040 Speaker 1: Jones had a solid first season, but it's not gonna 1516 01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 1: matter come fall twenty twenty two. They've got a lot 1517 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:40,800 Speaker 1: of work to do to get better. That last game 1518 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 1: left a bitter, bitter, bitter taste in all our mouths. 1519 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it was the last embarrassing well I know, 1520 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: but but that was the worst of it. And you know, 1521 01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:54,519 Speaker 1: we're just so conditioned that they step up, you know, 1522 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:59,240 Speaker 1: they step and even in that last game after everything 1523 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,920 Speaker 1: that was so ont they're gonna step up against the Bills. 1524 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,720 Speaker 1: It'll be a good game. And it was anything. But 1525 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I people say that's like the 1526 01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:15,280 Speaker 1: second worst loss in Bill Belichick's uh second, I mean 1527 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,160 Speaker 1: score wise, but but I mean, you know, to be 1528 01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 1: dominated the way they did, you know, to not be 1529 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:26,360 Speaker 1: able to you know, seven drive seven touchdowns, yeah that 1530 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that that was really bad. And so 1531 01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,639 Speaker 1: and that's our last thought of the Patriots, you know, yeah, 1532 01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,000 Speaker 1: well that's why I like the Pro Bowl too, because 1533 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 1: you got a little bit of something different. But I mean, 1534 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,960 Speaker 1: and Paul brought up O nine and that's just the 1535 01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,720 Speaker 1: fashion in which it ended counts for something, and there 1536 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 1: was something more there than just a team that wasn't 1537 01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,400 Speaker 1: good enough to be there. Like it was a team 1538 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,360 Speaker 1: that didn't have it. They didn't bring the energy, they 1539 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,639 Speaker 1: didn't come ready to play that game. So I think 1540 01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:57,720 Speaker 1: what carries over into this season is what was that 1541 01:18:57,880 --> 01:18:59,840 Speaker 1: Because for two out of the last three years and 1542 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:01,920 Speaker 1: I through twenty twenty kind of out of it. You've 1543 01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,280 Speaker 1: seen this stumble down the end and this you know, 1544 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,439 Speaker 1: when it's supposed to be everything starting to click and 1545 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:08,559 Speaker 1: you know what your strengths are and you're playing towards it, 1546 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,280 Speaker 1: and you're motivated by games that happened earlier in the season. 1547 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:13,280 Speaker 1: All that stuff was out the window and it was 1548 01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,360 Speaker 1: all there for the taking. And I think that's what's 1549 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,160 Speaker 1: hard for a Patriots fan like me to take. When 1550 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,160 Speaker 1: you have all these things that you believe of. They 1551 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 1: get better with the good coaching over the course of 1552 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 1: the year. They play hard all the time, They're a 1553 01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,040 Speaker 1: tough team to play against. They were none of those 1554 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 1: things in the finale. And I think when they come 1555 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,280 Speaker 1: out of the tunnel in the opener next year, that's 1556 01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,719 Speaker 1: the taste that I'm gonna want washed out of my mouth, 1557 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,160 Speaker 1: is to see a team that's going to come out 1558 01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:37,840 Speaker 1: and play with a renewed sense of energy and not 1559 01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:41,640 Speaker 1: obviously the one that got rolled off the field. I mean, 1560 01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 1: they had no answer, nothing, nothing from the get go. 1561 01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. You know, 1562 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:53,920 Speaker 1: now I'm depressed again, but forgotten that. I was just 1563 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,280 Speaker 1: thinking about Max run and they're pretty And now I 1564 01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,439 Speaker 1: got to think about that game. They just showed it, 1565 01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:00,640 Speaker 1: by the way, because they're talking about Justice Jefferson on 1566 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 1: NFL Network and they showed the Mac play and I 1567 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,160 Speaker 1: was actually wrong. I think it was a three yard 1568 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 1: run when when they blew it, they blew it dead. 1569 01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,000 Speaker 1: But with the way they were ruling tackling, and I 1570 01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,839 Speaker 1: didn't blame him for just keep going right, but every 1571 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,840 Speaker 1: he ran by several guys that were that were standing 1572 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,720 Speaker 1: still like whatever that is that the back judge, the 1573 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,599 Speaker 1: one that's all the way in the back, it calls, 1574 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, back judge calls the delay a game penalty. 1575 01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 1: You know, the guy that's way in the back of 1576 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 1: the defense. He's standing there like thirty yards behind the 1577 01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,880 Speaker 1: scrimmage and Mac is running at him and he doesn't 1578 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,240 Speaker 1: even move. He doesn't even turn, no, like he's buy 1579 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: him like ten yards before he kind of like what 1580 01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,679 Speaker 1: is he going? That's the question? From what yard line? 1581 01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,599 Speaker 1: Did you realize it was? Just? I think I think 1582 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:50,320 Speaker 1: he definitely that right, you totally. I love it. Shrisha 1583 01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 1: from Bangalore. Do you think that the Patriots should think 1584 01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 1: about stability in the OC position before hiring someone to 1585 01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,800 Speaker 1: that position because this will affect Max grow. How does 1586 01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,080 Speaker 1: the hiring of Joe Judge affect this. I don't think 1587 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,760 Speaker 1: Bill will be personally coaching Matt. So do you think 1588 01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:10,200 Speaker 1: Joe Judge will be doing that? What are your thoughts? Yeah, yeah, 1589 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,000 Speaker 1: he will be. Yeah, because they did lose there. I 1590 01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,639 Speaker 1: don't know what Joe Judge was hired to do. Yeah, 1591 01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,639 Speaker 1: we don't know. We don't even hired. Yeah, we don't 1592 01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 1: know what he was hired, right. If he was tired, 1593 01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,760 Speaker 1: it was supposedly as an offensive assistant. I don't know 1594 01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: what that entails, right, And uh, the guy who was 1595 01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 1: helping coach quarterbacks with Josh last year has gone with 1596 01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,519 Speaker 1: Josh to the Raiders. Bo heart agree. So they do 1597 01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 1: need somebody who was going to sort of focus on 1598 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: that position and the offense overall. And so between Joe Judge, 1599 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,719 Speaker 1: Brian Day will, how those giants joint practices. That's gonna 1600 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,559 Speaker 1: be some weird, some weird energy out there on the field, 1601 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 1: like yeah, you know, he'd be doing my thing right, 1602 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:51,040 Speaker 1: like looking at each other like here used to go right, 1603 01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,280 Speaker 1: you were here, now you're not. You get their ass 1604 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:58,160 Speaker 1: last year. Let's get to the a sticket outline. Eldred's 1605 01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:02,080 Speaker 1: in North Carolina. He was there, you yeah, he had 1606 01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:07,800 Speaker 1: to driving. Um Andrews in LA. What's up, Andrew Heart, 1607 01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:12,000 Speaker 1: he's back at it again. Oh yeah, you're going to 1608 01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, Andrew? Uh you know what really funny story, 1609 01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:21,599 Speaker 1: So my wife boss might be like getting tickets from 1610 01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:24,320 Speaker 1: his employer. He said that if he gets them, he's 1611 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,720 Speaker 1: gonna take me and we'll see hopefully. I'm a big Joe. 1612 01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm a big Burro Brady fan. Um, but going with 1613 01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,320 Speaker 1: the LSU team. Um, you guys know where the gritty 1614 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:40,439 Speaker 1: came from? Enlighten us? Oh yeah, okay, yeah, so, um, 1615 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:45,040 Speaker 1: one of the friends of Jamar Chase made up a 1616 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: dance and then it just caught on at LSU. So 1617 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 1: like Jamar Chase started doing it and justin Jefferson. So 1618 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 1: that's where it came from. And that actually started with Chase, 1619 01:22:56,479 --> 01:23:00,120 Speaker 1: not Jefferson because I think, yeah, Chase's friend, Yeah, it's 1620 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,880 Speaker 1: money and his friend made it up and that's how 1621 01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 1: it caught on at LFU. Yeah, so a little backstory 1622 01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 1: with that. Did you guys feel like my dance was 1623 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,280 Speaker 1: catching on? And I'll take you When I walked to 1624 01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:14,519 Speaker 1: the bathroom. No, no, that's sache No, it was quite sweet, 1625 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,759 Speaker 1: but it probably yeah, it was. It was quite honest. 1626 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 1: It was quite the sas. I want to burn it 1627 01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,519 Speaker 1: out of my eyeballs forever. Can you see you describe 1628 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:28,639 Speaker 1: it for me, Paul. He was sort of um first, 1629 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 1: he was swinging his hips and he was sort of 1630 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 1: moving his hands back and forth from side to side 1631 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,760 Speaker 1: as he was sacheting down the corridor to go to 1632 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,559 Speaker 1: the back. What's that old movie with John Travolta and 1633 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis where they're doing that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1634 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:50,519 Speaker 1: yeah perfect? Is that what? Yeah? That's what it looked? Perfect. 1635 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:54,200 Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder where perfect perfect? But I can 1636 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:58,040 Speaker 1: see the video cassette, Bob, Yeah, perfect, Well it was. 1637 01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't mean to cut your guys off, wouldn't dance talk? 1638 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: But that was in the wheelhouse. I was thinking about 1639 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:10,120 Speaker 1: how obviously Brady and that interview sounds like there might 1640 01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,479 Speaker 1: be some inkling that he still wants to play right, 1641 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,280 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about how if he came back 1642 01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 1: in a few months and the Bucks had build up 1643 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,439 Speaker 1: their cap space, he could essentially basically force a release 1644 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 1: or a trade, kind of like what Bronkowski did with 1645 01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,880 Speaker 1: the Patriot and I kind of look at wrong. I 1646 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 1: kind of look at Gronkowski when I'm looking at Brady 1647 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,560 Speaker 1: because I feel like their relationships kind of close, and 1648 01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't think Bronk wants to play anywhere without Brady. 1649 01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,840 Speaker 1: Do you guys think it's interesting that Bronkowski hasn't said 1650 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:45,840 Speaker 1: anything about his future. He's technically a free agent, and 1651 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 1: he hasn't said anything about retiring or playing or going 1652 01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:54,280 Speaker 1: somewhere else. Yeah, Oh yeah. I think he had a 1653 01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,360 Speaker 1: press conference after the season and said he was going 1654 01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,759 Speaker 1: to give it some time before he made his tor 1655 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 1: and Andrew, that's probably what the time is for, right 1656 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,559 Speaker 1: to figure out what Tom is doing? What are you doing? 1657 01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 1: Most definitely that I just thought that was kind of 1658 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 1: interesting because I feel like those guys talk a lot, 1659 01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:20,840 Speaker 1: and if they were going to go anywhere, he's gonna 1660 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:22,800 Speaker 1: like cook Gronks somewhere to like wait for him and 1661 01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:24,599 Speaker 1: like keep the keep it warm for him and then 1662 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,559 Speaker 1: he'll be ready. I think the whole thing with forcing 1663 01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 1: your way out of Tampa is it's still contingent on 1664 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 1: Tampa doing it. Like the Patriots actu esked with with 1665 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,200 Speaker 1: Gronk said, I only want to play for Brady. They 1666 01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,679 Speaker 1: didn't have to make a trade, right right, No way. 1667 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,880 Speaker 1: So if if Tampa just says, well, no, you're either 1668 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:45,280 Speaker 1: gonna play for us or nobody, kind of like Barry 1669 01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 1: Sanders back in the day retired the Detroit owned his 1670 01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:49,760 Speaker 1: rights and refused to get rid of him, and then 1671 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 1: he got too old and could still up their cap 1672 01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 1: based I know that the cap is crap, but you know, 1673 01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 1: the real dollars are at work here, And if they 1674 01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,680 Speaker 1: go out and get a starter, like let's say they 1675 01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,000 Speaker 1: go out and pay over twenty million dollars for a starter, 1676 01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,360 Speaker 1: because maybe in their minds they're still contenders, and then 1677 01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 1: they fill up that cap and they're like, well, now 1678 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 1: we have two starting quarterbacks and Kyle trap. Yeah, but 1679 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:12,800 Speaker 1: he has to come back and play to do that, 1680 01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:15,840 Speaker 1: you can, I mean, you're gonna call us? Is he 1681 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:21,240 Speaker 1: gonna call their bluff? Brady's gonna call their bluff? Yeah? 1682 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 1: Are you saying that? Well, but I'm saying if he 1683 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 1: waits a while and they try to make a move 1684 01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,479 Speaker 1: and they divulge all these assets into getting another quarterback, right, 1685 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 1: he kind of has the power play there. He can say, well, 1686 01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,800 Speaker 1: now I'm unretired, I know, and you know. And they 1687 01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,639 Speaker 1: can then say you'll need to play for us or nobody. Yeah, 1688 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,960 Speaker 1: they can do that. Yeah, well, if Brady's not gonna play, 1689 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,679 Speaker 1: But then Brady clearly doesn't want to play for Tampa, 1690 01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,679 Speaker 1: right right, But Paul, if he comes back, that means 1691 01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 1: that the cap is reactivated. So that means that if 1692 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,479 Speaker 1: they spent that money, it's only reactivated if he decides 1693 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,760 Speaker 1: to play. No, But but that's his leverage, right, Is 1694 01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 1: he gonna call Tampa's bluff? Right? That's what I'm asking. Well, 1695 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 1: each one of them are calling each other's bluff, you know. Well, 1696 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:04,200 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that Tampa would do 1697 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:07,240 Speaker 1: if they want him to play. Oh, I don't care 1698 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,599 Speaker 1: who they get. No, they want Brady to play, I know. 1699 01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:13,800 Speaker 1: But to Travis, but his point is, Andrew's point is 1700 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,880 Speaker 1: this is down the road. Yeah, so the Bucks have 1701 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 1: already Alex, unless it's like Aaron Rodgers, Bucks want Brady 1702 01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 1: to play. No, But I'm saying, so what about the 1703 01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,720 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson or something like that. I think they would 1704 01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 1: rather have Brady. Yeah, but what if they've already gone 1705 01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,400 Speaker 1: down the road, and gutt and b right, I can 1706 01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,320 Speaker 1: put him off for a year. I would rather have 1707 01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:38,680 Speaker 1: Brady plan that. This is my point. So yeah, but 1708 01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 1: can you do both? Yeah? Yeah, let's let's not talk. 1709 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,640 Speaker 1: Can we please be be adults? What can we be 1710 01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:46,559 Speaker 1: adults to just say? It doesn't really matter what the 1711 01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,519 Speaker 1: cap hit is? Well? It does, I mean it doesn't. 1712 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:53,160 Speaker 1: You can't have two quarterbacks making sixty million dollars. You know. 1713 01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,559 Speaker 1: First of all, Deshaun Watson doesn't make thirty, so you 1714 01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about him when he comes back. 1715 01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:03,280 Speaker 1: Who knows he's under contract? You know, I I hear 1716 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 1: what is and I don't think Brady is going to 1717 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:08,280 Speaker 1: command Brady. His contract doesn't call for thirty, does it? 1718 01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 1: Maybe it does? Maybe it does? Yeh. So so that 1719 01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:15,280 Speaker 1: that means you could have if DeShawn watching his thirty 1720 01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,360 Speaker 1: and he's fifteen, you're still five. We could do that. 1721 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:20,439 Speaker 1: I think it's more than that for Brad I think 1722 01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,120 Speaker 1: he's owed fifteen, but I think if he comes back 1723 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 1: it I just don't you guys worry so much about 1724 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,599 Speaker 1: the cap and that's really not part of the equation. Well, 1725 01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 1: then what's the leverage for a guy like Brady to 1726 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: to get out of town. How can he do it? 1727 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 1: You're saying, well, he could demand a trade. Yeah, but Andy, 1728 01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:42,880 Speaker 1: they say, right, but I did, and then he'd have 1729 01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:44,920 Speaker 1: to retire, which is what he's But I think gron 1730 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 1: I think Gronk's leverage was I'll come back. And then 1731 01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 1: Patries didn't want to pay him, you know, so they said, okay, 1732 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 1: well we'll trade you. Correct, you know, so correct? That 1733 01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,160 Speaker 1: was his leverage. Say it again. He didn't want to 1734 01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:59,640 Speaker 1: pay him. They didn't want to pay, right, So his 1735 01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:01,920 Speaker 1: le ridge was to threaten to come back, right. But 1736 01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 1: that I don't think the Bucks would have any problems 1737 01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 1: paying him. Yeah, this is my point. This is the 1738 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:08,160 Speaker 1: part that you're not right today. I don't think I 1739 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:12,800 Speaker 1: agree with you. But he's in Andrew's scenario. This is 1740 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,479 Speaker 1: down the road where they've already settled what they're gonna 1741 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:19,240 Speaker 1: do with quarterback, you know, And yeah, I think we've 1742 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: got other We've got other ideas for that money, you know. 1743 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:24,639 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying is I think they would rather 1744 01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:28,000 Speaker 1: have Brady. I mean, unless it's like Aaron Rodgers, like 1745 01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,520 Speaker 1: you go out and you make a deal with Tampa 1746 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,920 Speaker 1: where you're trading, you know, and I guess if you 1747 01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,599 Speaker 1: had to trade a lot for Deshaun Watson. Yeah, I mean, 1748 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,200 Speaker 1: Andrew's right, you haven't you know? Brady could then go 1749 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,000 Speaker 1: and say, well, they didn't give up two first round 1750 01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 1: picks to get a quarterback and then have me play right, 1751 01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:45,400 Speaker 1: that's what? Can we just take the cap out of 1752 01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:47,639 Speaker 1: it and be an adult like it doesn't have anything 1753 01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:51,519 Speaker 1: to do with cap space. I don't even want and 1754 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:55,280 Speaker 1: enter into that. And actually, uh, Deshaun Watson salary is 1755 01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna is gonna go out? You are? It's like, no, 1756 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,960 Speaker 1: never mind, I'll be good. I don't believe. Thanks Andrew. 1757 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 1: Can we be adults? Uh? Toddson Greens makes a lot 1758 01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:10,839 Speaker 1: of money? So I just a quick question. Our special 1759 01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:14,680 Speaker 1: teams were kind of thirty last year. How much do 1760 01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,639 Speaker 1: you think an improvement to our special teams would change 1761 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:21,639 Speaker 1: our record? Would we buy one game extra winning two games? 1762 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:25,880 Speaker 1: Or we just needed to zero? We just need to overhaul? Okay, 1763 01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:27,680 Speaker 1: so what do you think that? I mean that one 1764 01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,320 Speaker 1: game in Indy, if you don't get that punt blocked? 1765 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,400 Speaker 1: Is what is your chances of winning that game? Certainly 1766 01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:35,720 Speaker 1: better than what happened, But I'm not willing to say 1767 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,599 Speaker 1: they lost the game because they got a punt block. Yeah, 1768 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:42,240 Speaker 1: but over and then overall in the season, Like, how 1769 01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:44,200 Speaker 1: much of a difference would it have made? Not much, 1770 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 1: not much big? I mean, I think it would have 1771 01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:48,280 Speaker 1: been more if it was Nick Folk was terrible. I 1772 01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 1: think you got good performance out of that. To me 1773 01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:54,719 Speaker 1: is why I say probably nothing because your special teams 1774 01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:56,760 Speaker 1: were bad, but your kicker was the best in the 1775 01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:00,400 Speaker 1: league in terms of production, so that off sets that 1776 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:02,599 Speaker 1: a little bit. That's my next question. Do you think 1777 01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:04,760 Speaker 1: Folk is going to be able to come back? Isn't 1778 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:08,200 Speaker 1: he getting pretty old? Thirty seven? He said at the 1779 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,880 Speaker 1: end of the year he was still interested by beer. Yeah. 1780 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,519 Speaker 1: They did sign Quinn Ordine to a future so he'll 1781 01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:16,559 Speaker 1: be he'll be back. I think some other futures guys 1782 01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:19,280 Speaker 1: to Bill Burr, Yeah, going for me, right, Yeah? Who else? 1783 01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,760 Speaker 1: A couple of guys. There were a couple of guys Arlington, Hambright. Well, 1784 01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:26,559 Speaker 1: we know there was somebody. There was somebody last week. Oh, um, Daniel, 1785 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 1: that's not the one I was thinking of, though they 1786 01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:31,800 Speaker 1: didn't really sign. I thought there was another one that 1787 01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:33,920 Speaker 1: they just signed to a futures dealt some of those. 1788 01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:38,600 Speaker 1: Next question is just do you think Flores had the 1789 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 1: Canadian Football League take Flores back or Floors burnt his 1790 01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:46,080 Speaker 1: bridge by putting out those emails like that or the 1791 01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,840 Speaker 1: sort of the text me that's not that's I don't know. 1792 01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:51,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that did it. But him calling out 1793 01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:55,519 Speaker 1: Belichick is being part of the old Boys network probably did. Wow. 1794 01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:59,759 Speaker 1: All right, yes, yeah, well I never I would agree 1795 01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:01,840 Speaker 1: with that point. I think, like, to me, the follow 1796 01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 1: up conversation where he said there's something wrong, the system's broken. 1797 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:10,320 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick shouldn't have that kind of power, right, He's 1798 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:13,360 Speaker 1: part of the problem. Yeah, that to me. You know, 1799 01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:15,920 Speaker 1: I think Bill is a pretty open minded guy when 1800 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:17,519 Speaker 1: it comes to if he if he thought it was 1801 01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,920 Speaker 1: the best for the team, it's not a deal breaker, 1802 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 1: but I would say it's probably far fetched. I think 1803 01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:26,720 Speaker 1: he's coming back now. Yeah, I would take him in 1804 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:29,120 Speaker 1: a heartbeat. Yeah, I would coach. I think it would 1805 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,679 Speaker 1: be a good move if they did. I agree. I agree, 1806 01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 1: can the defensive coordinator now you're talking, Now you're talking, 1807 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:41,760 Speaker 1: will make him the defensive assistant? Neither of them ever, 1808 01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:45,479 Speaker 1: the whole year, you keep getting like that's what I 1809 01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:47,439 Speaker 1: you know, to Fred's point at the very start of 1810 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:50,080 Speaker 1: the show if there was like some kind of sort 1811 01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:53,479 Speaker 1: of benefit, tangible or not, and that to me would 1812 01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:56,000 Speaker 1: be one like I don't like my guys talking to 1813 01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:57,920 Speaker 1: the media. I don't want I want to shield them 1814 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,920 Speaker 1: from that. But now that all these coaches have to talk, right. 1815 01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:04,960 Speaker 1: The question though, that Todd brings up is a good one, though, 1816 01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:09,599 Speaker 1: about any potential damage to their relationship, because clearly there 1817 01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:13,160 Speaker 1: was enough of a relationship for Bill to reach out. Well, 1818 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:17,160 Speaker 1: I guess I guess you could argue that her right, no, 1819 01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:19,160 Speaker 1: but but you could also you could also make the 1820 01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:22,320 Speaker 1: argument that he thought maybe they were talking about Brian Flores. 1821 01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:24,439 Speaker 1: That's one of them, you know, Yeah, because if you 1822 01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:29,479 Speaker 1: read the texts for what it's worth, he it could 1823 01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 1: for word, it means that he thought the giants were 1824 01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,880 Speaker 1: talking about Flores, because Bill says it could be that 1825 01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,519 Speaker 1: could be because Bill says, I misread the text, right, 1826 01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:41,720 Speaker 1: I thought they were talking about right you. But it 1827 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:43,680 Speaker 1: sounds like but that could be Bill covering up for 1828 01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:45,640 Speaker 1: it could be you know, I think there was some 1829 01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 1: gray area in terms of he either was texting the 1830 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,120 Speaker 1: wrong Brian, which I think was the case, or that 1831 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,360 Speaker 1: he thought he thought he was texting Flores, and he 1832 01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:57,360 Speaker 1: thought Flores was the guy the Giants were going to hire, right, 1833 01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:59,280 Speaker 1: and then he realized he screwed it up. I read 1834 01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:01,120 Speaker 1: the text wrong. I don't think that's what it was. 1835 01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:05,240 Speaker 1: And I think Flora's sort of has come out and 1836 01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:07,280 Speaker 1: basically said he made a mistake. He thought he was 1837 01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 1: talking to Brian Dable, right, and that he recommended Dabel 1838 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:13,800 Speaker 1: for the job, right, Like that's like, that's part of 1839 01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:15,599 Speaker 1: this is this is what I'm talking about, where he says, 1840 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,479 Speaker 1: you know, Belichick is part of the old boy network 1841 01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:20,479 Speaker 1: and he has too much sway as to who's getting 1842 01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:23,320 Speaker 1: hired that they need to, you know, rethink their hiring 1843 01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:25,640 Speaker 1: practices and how you go about it. It shouldn't just 1844 01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:27,680 Speaker 1: be word of mouth from from guys that you know, 1845 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,479 Speaker 1: especially if if you're the Giants, Like, Okay, what's the 1846 01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:35,000 Speaker 1: motivation for Bill suggesting Dable? Can you imagine? Well, you know, 1847 01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:40,559 Speaker 1: he also wants them out of the bills. Yeah, yeah, 1848 01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:43,599 Speaker 1: he'd be great for you. Yeah. Can you imagine Joe 1849 01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 1: Judge and then the Giants go back to him, like 1850 01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:50,599 Speaker 1: that's how Joe Judge got the job in the first place. 1851 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,240 Speaker 1: Was a strong recommendation from Bill, and they wouldn't let him, 1852 01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 1: and Bill wouldn't let him talk to McDaniels. Right two 1853 01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,000 Speaker 1: years later, you're going back to Bill for a suggestion 1854 01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:02,240 Speaker 1: after the way that one worked out. I don't know, 1855 01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:06,720 Speaker 1: Magic Sauce the giants giants man, you know, and we 1856 01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:09,559 Speaker 1: talk about like the owners in the league and all 1857 01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,120 Speaker 1: the back channeling and stuff that goes on at that level. 1858 01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,400 Speaker 1: I imagine like at that head coaching level there's a 1859 01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:18,880 Speaker 1: lot of politics and Game of Thrones stuff and all 1860 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,519 Speaker 1: that too, you know. Yeah, that's where Bills like kind 1861 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:25,280 Speaker 1: of a puppet master, you know. I think they're definitely yeah, 1862 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,960 Speaker 1: I think that's definitely true. I just laugh at getting 1863 01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,080 Speaker 1: to see the actual text messages. I know some people 1864 01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:32,240 Speaker 1: are making a joke about we talk about punctuation, Bill 1865 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:35,880 Speaker 1: doing the exclamation question exclamation that back. But just like 1866 01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,400 Speaker 1: how Flora's like the vibe through it is like very 1867 01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:41,120 Speaker 1: much like me talking like oh thank you, so yeah, 1868 01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:43,679 Speaker 1: you know, like talking to your old coach, like thanks, coach, 1869 01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:46,400 Speaker 1: appreciate it, like I got you, um that that And 1870 01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:48,200 Speaker 1: that was the only thing I was a little disappointed, 1871 01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:50,599 Speaker 1: like when this all came out was that My initial 1872 01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,920 Speaker 1: hope was just that I would hope that Flora's before 1873 01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:57,160 Speaker 1: he made put his text a front and center on 1874 01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:00,280 Speaker 1: what he filed legally, that he had given him heads 1875 01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:01,800 Speaker 1: up and and you know, I think that that might 1876 01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:04,320 Speaker 1: be where there could be contention. And then, as Paul 1877 01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:06,599 Speaker 1: put pointed out, I think then he he just went 1878 01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:10,040 Speaker 1: fully into into that way of it. So it's too bad. 1879 01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:11,880 Speaker 1: He's he's a he's a great coach. And I mean, 1880 01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean, selfishly, you're glad he's not in Miami. I mean, 1881 01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:16,200 Speaker 1: no offense to Mike McDaniel. But I look at him 1882 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:18,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, this guy doesn't scare me at all 1883 01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:19,920 Speaker 1: as a football coach. I mean, he might be brilliant 1884 01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,320 Speaker 1: and maybe they'll be torturing us for years, but um, 1885 01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, I just did the striking contrast between Brian Dabele, 1886 01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,360 Speaker 1: who just looks like ultimate football coach, badass guy. And 1887 01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:30,960 Speaker 1: then you know, and then they got this nerdy guy 1888 01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:35,240 Speaker 1: with glasses coming in. I thought they hired him. Now, 1889 01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:38,760 Speaker 1: I thought they hired him as like They're like, um, 1890 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:42,720 Speaker 1: this guy right, And then I saw the caption I've 1891 01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 1: got a coach, this guy right, right, let's see there 1892 01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:50,320 Speaker 1: you go. I guess he's yes, sir right away. Uh, 1893 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:56,120 Speaker 1: Travis is in California. Hey Travis, Hey, Hey. I guess 1894 01:36:56,200 --> 01:37:01,080 Speaker 1: this is more of a question for for for because 1895 01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:04,120 Speaker 1: I don't watch a lot of the Bengals taint and stuff. 1896 01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:06,799 Speaker 1: But since they're in the Super Bowl, I've been watching 1897 01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:10,360 Speaker 1: more of the Joe Brow I think him mac Jones 1898 01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:14,719 Speaker 1: are pretty comparable. And I know Paul's a big Joe 1899 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:20,160 Speaker 1: Burrow fan. So you're seeing the same thing or no. Um, 1900 01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,479 Speaker 1: But I would ask you what you think that they 1901 01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:27,479 Speaker 1: do comparably. Well, I'm just saying they're stats and everything. 1902 01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:29,960 Speaker 1: I know, stats don't tell the whole story, don't I 1903 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,720 Speaker 1: get that. I just when I've watched The Thrones, the 1904 01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,640 Speaker 1: mechanics are all the same. The only real difference that 1905 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm seeing is Joe Brow is throwing the guy throwing 1906 01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:41,800 Speaker 1: a five yards plant to a guy who's taking it 1907 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:45,880 Speaker 1: to the house, and Mac Jones guy gets stopped up. Yeah, 1908 01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:48,640 Speaker 1: I think that's a little oversimplifying it. Arm Strength and 1909 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,880 Speaker 1: athleticism are two glaring things that yeah, I don't really 1910 01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:55,760 Speaker 1: see think. Oh he's a first of all, he's a 1911 01:37:55,880 --> 01:38:00,200 Speaker 1: much better runner, even coming off at twenty acl. I 1912 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:02,759 Speaker 1: don't even think it's close. Did you see his sixty 1913 01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:06,680 Speaker 1: five yards? I did the three yard run? I did 1914 01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:08,960 Speaker 1: see it. Listen. I think Max a little bit more 1915 01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,280 Speaker 1: athletic than we gave him credit for coming out of college. 1916 01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:16,080 Speaker 1: He's shown that a little bit. So listen. I'm the 1917 01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:20,439 Speaker 1: stats are similar, but I mean no, I mean I'm 1918 01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:23,360 Speaker 1: talking about certain stats, certain stats, not when you talk 1919 01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:27,040 Speaker 1: about yard completion percentage. Maybe is close, but like let's 1920 01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:33,000 Speaker 1: let's I know, but no, but that but that's not 1921 01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,160 Speaker 1: about what happened, you know, So you gotta just look 1922 01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 1: at the games, and you got to look at the player. 1923 01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:41,360 Speaker 1: And one less game Burrow through twelve more touchdowns, Joe, 1924 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:45,280 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is a better quarterback at least right now. Yeah, 1925 01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:47,439 Speaker 1: I don't know what. You don't know what Mac Jones 1926 01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:52,120 Speaker 1: will become right well that that's okay. But but but 1927 01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:55,559 Speaker 1: you can and and that's fine, you can speculate what if, 1928 01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:57,680 Speaker 1: what if? What if? But right now, if you look 1929 01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,240 Speaker 1: at Joe Burrow and you look at Mac Jones, you 1930 01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,240 Speaker 1: just gotta say, Joe Burrows a bit of quarterback right now. 1931 01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 1: Right now, I just don't know how you could use 1932 01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:09,320 Speaker 1: anything in terms of structure around a guy for a 1933 01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:15,519 Speaker 1: guy who quarterbacks the Cincinnati Bengals as a negative, like, yeah, 1934 01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 1: it's it's it's one of the three worst franchises in 1935 01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,240 Speaker 1: the history of the sport, right, and he came in 1936 01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:24,800 Speaker 1: in two years while tearing up his knee halfway through 1937 01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:27,920 Speaker 1: one of them and has it in the Super Bowl. Yeah, 1938 01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:31,599 Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback, man, So I mean, and then 1939 01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:34,280 Speaker 1: that doesn't take anything away from that Jones. I'm not 1940 01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:37,280 Speaker 1: taking it. I'm not taking anything away from Mac Jones. Again, 1941 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm very, very pleased at Mac Jones is our quarterback. 1942 01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,200 Speaker 1: But I can say that and also say that Joe 1943 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:45,760 Speaker 1: Burrow's really freaking good, and I can say that Herbert's 1944 01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:49,120 Speaker 1: really really good, and I can say that Trevor Lawrence 1945 01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:52,200 Speaker 1: is really really good. I actually think he has a 1946 01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:55,679 Speaker 1: chance to be like Herbert, not in style, like see 1947 01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:58,200 Speaker 1: here's the physical stuff that you might look at that 1948 01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,120 Speaker 1: in Mac Jones and not a huge difference in talent. 1949 01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:07,519 Speaker 1: I disagree, but they're not like Joe Burrow is not 1950 01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:10,720 Speaker 1: justin Herbert. He's not this six five six kid, you know, 1951 01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:13,519 Speaker 1: six six guy with a laser beam for nothing. But 1952 01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:17,080 Speaker 1: I think he has vastly superior skills than Mac Jones. 1953 01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:19,519 Speaker 1: But I understand what you're saying. If you think it's close, 1954 01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:23,719 Speaker 1: you watched Joe Burrow and you don't think there's something 1955 01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:28,080 Speaker 1: different about him, right, Yeah, he's got it. Joe Burrow 1956 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:32,400 Speaker 1: isn't tucking his head between his legs down fourteen. I 1957 01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:35,479 Speaker 1: saw him do it many times, and I saw him 1958 01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:38,080 Speaker 1: do it in Kansas City down twenty one to three. Like, 1959 01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:40,599 Speaker 1: he wasn't great that day, He didn't play a great game, 1960 01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:43,519 Speaker 1: but he did it when he had to, and he 1961 01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,200 Speaker 1: let a comeback on the road against the best team 1962 01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:49,720 Speaker 1: in the conference, against the best player in the conference. Now, yes, 1963 01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:51,760 Speaker 1: did he get lucky that the best player in the 1964 01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,240 Speaker 1: conference was awful in the second half? Yep, he did. 1965 01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:58,439 Speaker 1: But I just don't know how you can watch Joe 1966 01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,840 Speaker 1: Burrow and not see more than you've seen from Matt. 1967 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can say I agree with 1968 01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:05,080 Speaker 1: your points, Paul, and I think I do think that. 1969 01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they're both pocket passers, so I think just 1970 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:09,240 Speaker 1: at a base level, you can say, you know, it's 1971 01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:10,880 Speaker 1: it's not like this is a dying breed. You can 1972 01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:17,160 Speaker 1: still That's where I think he can he's he's comfortable 1973 01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:20,479 Speaker 1: in the pocket, he's just as comfortable outside it making plays. 1974 01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:22,160 Speaker 1: He did that a lot in the Kansas City game. 1975 01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:24,599 Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about runs. I'm not talking 1976 01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:29,960 Speaker 1: about He has a god awful offensive line, which, by 1977 01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,640 Speaker 1: the way, remind me on Thursday to get into that 1978 01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:35,200 Speaker 1: because we all know how that is the integral piece 1979 01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:37,280 Speaker 1: for Super Bowl success. This is two years in a 1980 01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:39,720 Speaker 1: row now the worst offensive line I've ever seen is 1981 01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:42,599 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Whatever. Keep telling me about how 1982 01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:45,680 Speaker 1: important it is. But he has to run for his 1983 01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:49,720 Speaker 1: life almost every game. He doesn't just sit back and 1984 01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,280 Speaker 1: throw and pick out his guys from the pocket. He 1985 01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:54,720 Speaker 1: does things that Mac can't now. Maybe Mac will be 1986 01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:57,360 Speaker 1: able to do them someday, but he does things now 1987 01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,000 Speaker 1: that Matt can't do now, right now, right now, right 1988 01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:01,920 Speaker 1: That's why I said this is not about Mac Jones. No, 1989 01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:04,360 Speaker 1: I think a lot of Joe Burrow. I think way 1990 01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:09,120 Speaker 1: more of Joe Burrow than justin Herbert. I think Mac 1991 01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,720 Speaker 1: has some of the intangibles that Herbert lacks. That's why 1992 01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:16,360 Speaker 1: I think physically he won't compare to Herbert, but he 1993 01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:18,240 Speaker 1: might be a better player than That's and that's why 1994 01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,280 Speaker 1: he might be a better player than him someday. Yeah, 1995 01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:22,479 Speaker 1: And that's along those lines of and I don't want 1996 01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:24,640 Speaker 1: to boil it down to Joe cool, but there's a 1997 01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:27,720 Speaker 1: presence about Joe Burrow that Mac doesn't have. He didn't 1998 01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:29,080 Speaker 1: have it this year as a rookie, and I think 1999 01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:30,599 Speaker 1: that's one of the things I look at in year 2000 01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 1: two of that confidence. Like you mentioned, doesn't pee his 2001 01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:36,479 Speaker 1: leg when he's down points. He exudes a confidence and 2002 01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:38,800 Speaker 1: knowledge in himself and in the system, and that's one 2003 01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:42,439 Speaker 1: thing that I want him go. But I think, I think, 2004 01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:45,960 Speaker 1: I think to h Deuce's point, you know, he held 2005 01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,639 Speaker 1: back in terms of the you know, vocal leadership thing. 2006 01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:50,240 Speaker 1: I think you'll see more of that, and I think 2007 01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:52,920 Speaker 1: we'll see it all this summer. And just you know, 2008 01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 1: I just think that there's such a rage to get 2009 01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:58,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who can run like the wind and I don't. 2010 01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:01,639 Speaker 1: And I I every point about outside of the pocket. 2011 01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:03,600 Speaker 1: That's fine, maybe Max a little bit more confined, but 2012 01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:05,760 Speaker 1: I just think it's a reminder that you can win 2013 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,800 Speaker 1: in this league throwing the ball and you don't have 2014 01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:10,920 Speaker 1: to be this dynamic off platform for three quarterback as well, 2015 01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:13,439 Speaker 1: there's ways to do it. But I'm a huge Joe 2016 01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:15,559 Speaker 1: Burrow fan. He's won me over this year. There's just, 2017 01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, there's a there's something intangible about me. I 2018 01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:19,680 Speaker 1: don't think I agree with you. I don't think you 2019 01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,240 Speaker 1: need to run and I would say Mahomes. I don't 2020 01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:25,880 Speaker 1: think Mahomes runs a lot, but he runs effectively when 2021 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:28,720 Speaker 1: he does, when he needs to, he runs effectively. I 2022 01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:30,880 Speaker 1: think Burrow does the same thing. I don't think Burrow's 2023 01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:33,960 Speaker 1: quite as athletic as Mahomes, but I think he runs 2024 01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,599 Speaker 1: really well when he needs to. I don't think Mac 2025 01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:39,160 Speaker 1: has that. Yeah, I don't think he has that ability. Now, 2026 01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:40,880 Speaker 1: you could throw it in the face and say, well, 2027 01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, guys like Breeze and Manning and Brady did it. 2028 01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:48,400 Speaker 1: Yeah they did. They were the very best ever at 2029 01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:51,320 Speaker 1: what they did, you know, just sort of standing in 2030 01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:53,760 Speaker 1: the pocket and throwing right from the pocket. I don't 2031 01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,960 Speaker 1: know if Mac Jones has that kind of ability, passing ability, 2032 01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:58,680 Speaker 1: but i'd like to see I'd like to see him 2033 01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:01,400 Speaker 1: surrounded with guys too that you know that Joe Burrow 2034 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,960 Speaker 1: has that. I mean, and I don't, you know, necessarily 2035 01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:05,840 Speaker 1: think that everything's a five yard slant. I mean, he 2036 01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:10,679 Speaker 1: makes plenty of downface and we're talking about Drew Bledso 2037 01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:12,800 Speaker 1: I really do. And you know how much I love 2038 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:16,200 Speaker 1: me some Drew. Yeah, but you know, yeah, it's Michael 2039 01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:18,559 Speaker 1: Timpson and Ray Critten. Did we need to get up 2040 01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:22,800 Speaker 1: some weapons? Yeah, no kidding. Everybody is better. The better 2041 01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:24,600 Speaker 1: players you have around you, the better you're gonna be. 2042 01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:28,920 Speaker 1: Can you elevate those guys? Yeah, no matter who it is. 2043 01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:32,719 Speaker 1: Can you make Michael Timpson a seventy catch guy? Vincent 2044 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:35,120 Speaker 1: Brisbee a seventy catch guy? That's what Drew did to 2045 01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:38,920 Speaker 1: those guys. Those guys weren't any better players than Nelson 2046 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:43,200 Speaker 1: Agalore or Kendrick Bourne. No, I can promise you. Yeah, 2047 01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:46,720 Speaker 1: those guys were jacks. Then they brought Sean Jefferson and 2048 01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,600 Speaker 1: Terry glenn In and you went to the Super Bowl. 2049 01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:54,240 Speaker 1: Right there, you go, Um, Joe and Owen sound Ontario. 2050 01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:57,559 Speaker 1: Get the sense that many in Patriots Nation feel it's 2051 01:44:57,600 --> 01:44:59,720 Speaker 1: just a matter of time until we retool and win 2052 01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:02,600 Speaker 1: another three Super Bowls in four years and dominate the 2053 01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:06,440 Speaker 1: league for another twenty. I recognize that this is completely unrealistic. 2054 01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:08,840 Speaker 1: So I ask you, in building the team, would you 2055 01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,920 Speaker 1: prefer a team that over the next ten years either 2056 01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:16,559 Speaker 1: one or A he has wins one Super Bowl, loses 2057 01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:20,880 Speaker 1: one AFC Championship game, has two first round exits, and 2058 01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:26,400 Speaker 1: misses the playoffs six times, or makes the playoffs nine times, 2059 01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:29,599 Speaker 1: never gets to the super Bowl, plays in the AFC 2060 01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:33,320 Speaker 1: Championship three times, and wins a couple more playoff games. 2061 01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:35,880 Speaker 1: Answer first one was twining the Super Bowl. Yeah, the 2062 01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:38,600 Speaker 1: answer is yeah, I'll go with that. Yeah, while it 2063 01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,960 Speaker 1: would be nice to consistently be relevant, I think I 2064 01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:43,439 Speaker 1: might trade some bad years for a couple of really 2065 01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,960 Speaker 1: good ones and a championship. We all agree, might. I 2066 01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,080 Speaker 1: don't really see there's no might the two options there. Yeah. 2067 01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:53,479 Speaker 1: Do you think Eli is an apt comparison to Mac 2068 01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,719 Speaker 1: Jones A little bit? Is there anything there with Eli Manning? 2069 01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,559 Speaker 1: Because I feel like that's he was always that guy 2070 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:04,320 Speaker 1: of never elite, never one of like the button. He 2071 01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,280 Speaker 1: won a couple of super Bowls. But I don't know. 2072 01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:12,280 Speaker 1: It's everybody wants comps when he get back, but they 2073 01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:15,280 Speaker 1: only want comps of guys they think are really really good. Yeah, 2074 01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:17,439 Speaker 1: they don't want the comp of Chad Pennington. Yea, even 2075 01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:20,880 Speaker 1: though Chad Pennington was a terrific quarterback, um Jack and 2076 01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,600 Speaker 1: and Arbor says, as I've stated previously, the thing that 2077 01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:27,960 Speaker 1: distinguishes Mac Jones as an NFL quarterback is his elite accuracy. 2078 01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:31,880 Speaker 1: That is one of his traits. Absolutely, he's accurate. But 2079 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:36,120 Speaker 1: I this is where I'm gonna argue Paul side of 2080 01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:42,680 Speaker 1: the fence with Patriots fans, we are so insecure, insensitive, 2081 01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:45,839 Speaker 1: you know, like about Mac. And one of the problems 2082 01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:49,280 Speaker 1: that happened is the minute he was you know, drafted, 2083 01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:53,160 Speaker 1: it was like, this guy can be the next Tom 2084 01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:55,640 Speaker 1: Brady or he's going to be a bust. And the 2085 01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:59,160 Speaker 1: two sides dug their heels in and there was no like, 2086 01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:02,040 Speaker 1: let's just see how he does. Like he's doing okay, 2087 01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,439 Speaker 1: well let's just see. And it's like if you say 2088 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:06,920 Speaker 1: one thing like well he can't do that, then it's 2089 01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:11,400 Speaker 1: you hate Matt Jones. And if you say, to Jack's point, 2090 01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,080 Speaker 1: he's pretty accurate, that's what his you know, if he 2091 01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:18,320 Speaker 1: has a superpower in the NFL, that that's what it is. 2092 01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:20,800 Speaker 1: Then the other side it's like, whoa, what's that gonna 2093 01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:24,160 Speaker 1: give him? You know, it's it's unbelievable, like it's either 2094 01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:26,080 Speaker 1: one or the other, can we just give this kid 2095 01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,000 Speaker 1: a chance? And I think part of it is what Matt, 2096 01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:31,080 Speaker 1: what Mike is talking about with the comps, because we've 2097 01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:33,640 Speaker 1: been inundated with the comps, like who cares who he 2098 01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:38,640 Speaker 1: compares to? Right? Right? But just in that argument for 2099 01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:42,200 Speaker 1: Fred's point, you get people that say, oh, he could 2100 01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:45,360 Speaker 1: be he could be like Kirk Cousins, And people look 2101 01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:49,040 Speaker 1: at you like, yeah, are you kidding me? Because they 2102 01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,720 Speaker 1: look at Kirk cousins career and they say, well, if 2103 01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:55,439 Speaker 1: he's Kirk Cousins, then he'll have the exact same results. No, No, 2104 01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,479 Speaker 1: you have better coaches, you know, better situation, whatever. But 2105 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,799 Speaker 1: even talking about that, like he automatically they better coaches. 2106 01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we just spent the first hour and forty 2107 01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:07,160 Speaker 1: five minutes trashing the coaching. No, but I'm just saying, 2108 01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:12,080 Speaker 1: like anything can point is what's so bad about being 2109 01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,479 Speaker 1: like Kirk Cousins? Well, yes, I agree, do I think 2110 01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,479 Speaker 1: you you know that's good enough? I don't personally, But 2111 01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:19,639 Speaker 1: there were a lot of guys in the league worse 2112 01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:23,200 Speaker 1: than Kirk Cousins. Right. Andy Dalton for four years had 2113 01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:26,559 Speaker 1: the same more abund Bengals in the playoffs every year 2114 01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:30,360 Speaker 1: and now people are so offended if you say he 2115 01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:33,240 Speaker 1: could be like Chad Pennington. Yeah, if you don't say 2116 01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:35,599 Speaker 1: he could be like Tom Brady, you're selling. I'm shoring right. 2117 01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,040 Speaker 1: If it can't be fourteen and two, thirteen and three 2118 01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,519 Speaker 1: every year, Like, what are the odds in the playoffs, 2119 01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:43,320 Speaker 1: the odds of him being anywhere near as good as 2120 01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:48,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Like, just try to be realistic going to happen. 2121 01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:50,680 Speaker 1: That's why anytime we get a scenario and they have 2122 01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:53,280 Speaker 1: one where he wins the super Bowl, I'm in like, 2123 01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:56,080 Speaker 1: that's that. That'll be Mack wins one super Bowl. I 2124 01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:58,200 Speaker 1: don't care if it's Mac or anybody else. If you 2125 01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:00,320 Speaker 1: have a ten year period and one of those periods 2126 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,400 Speaker 1: involves winning the super Bowl, the other one doesn't, I'll 2127 01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,800 Speaker 1: take the one that involves winning it. Yes, And your 2128 01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,680 Speaker 1: guy was driving everybody crazy yesterday, and he's probably doing 2129 01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,680 Speaker 1: it on purpose because he was all about Mac. He's 2130 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:16,400 Speaker 1: a boy, you know, he's a puppy to this guy 2131 01:49:16,439 --> 01:49:19,720 Speaker 1: who sounds like he's going through puberty. Is criticizing this 2132 01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:23,639 Speaker 1: guy before being a boy Tony. He gets these stupid things, 2133 01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:26,599 Speaker 1: I mean, and he won't let him off on it. 2134 01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:31,120 Speaker 1: A leader the run dance and being silly, being silly, Yeah, 2135 01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:35,080 Speaker 1: I kind of something. I feel like I've been a 2136 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:37,280 Speaker 1: little critical of Mac during the course of the season, 2137 01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:39,599 Speaker 1: but I kind of like that. Yeah, I don't think 2138 01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:42,000 Speaker 1: it was anywhere near as significant as it's been made 2139 01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:44,640 Speaker 1: out to be, like, oh, it's a sign that he's arrived. 2140 01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:48,479 Speaker 1: I've heard all the other thing it's there, But but 2141 01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:50,680 Speaker 1: I am on the side of I liked it. I 2142 01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:53,240 Speaker 1: thought it was funny, and I thought there was nothing 2143 01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:55,919 Speaker 1: wrong with it. There was nothing to criticize about. It 2144 01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:57,840 Speaker 1: tells you some of the Pro Bowl itself, tells you 2145 01:49:57,920 --> 01:49:59,519 Speaker 1: always not to know about the Pro Bowl, and that's 2146 01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,400 Speaker 1: the highlight of it, right, And it shows that he 2147 01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,479 Speaker 1: has the confidence to do that. NFL stars then that 2148 01:50:04,520 --> 01:50:06,640 Speaker 1: they would take amusement out, you know, I've read one 2149 01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:09,040 Speaker 1: of these guys wrote that Max saved the Pro Bowl. 2150 01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:13,439 Speaker 1: I think it was Andrew Kelly wrote. The headline was 2151 01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:16,880 Speaker 1: Max saves PROO. It was literally, if if you're in 2152 01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:19,519 Speaker 1: Kansas City, you're probably seeing highlights of stuff that Mahomes 2153 01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:22,040 Speaker 1: was doing on the sideline. We live in this bubble, 2154 01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, right, I had no like I said, I 2155 01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:26,960 Speaker 1: had no problem and I thought it was a good thing. 2156 01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,000 Speaker 1: I thought it was funny. I thought he showed a 2157 01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,840 Speaker 1: little personality. I think those are good things. Sure, But 2158 01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:35,639 Speaker 1: every argument seems to be it's either proving it's either 2159 01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:38,080 Speaker 1: proving he's never gonna make it or proving that he's 2160 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:42,120 Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame. Can we just like 2161 01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:44,800 Speaker 1: give this kid a chance and let him be who 2162 01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:47,479 Speaker 1: he's gonna be. I said that during the course of 2163 01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:50,360 Speaker 1: the season, it's not fair to Mac no the way 2164 01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:54,360 Speaker 1: he's treated by the by the mac mafia. Yeah, right, 2165 01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:57,639 Speaker 1: right now, they're building him up too much. And then 2166 01:50:57,680 --> 01:50:59,360 Speaker 1: if he if he had God forbid, he only gets 2167 01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:05,519 Speaker 1: one Super Bowl disappointment terrible. I've heard that, Mike, don't 2168 01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:08,000 Speaker 1: tell me you haven't. Let's let's say macis here for 2169 01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:13,439 Speaker 1: ten years and wins the Super Bowl? Will you be disappointed? Wildly? Wildly? 2170 01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:16,360 Speaker 1: And I think that there's like a bigger point to 2171 01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:18,599 Speaker 1: it of how many competitive football games do you get 2172 01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:20,120 Speaker 1: to watch? Like going back to watching the Dallas in 2173 01:51:20,120 --> 01:51:22,360 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay what's your losses? But like I want 2174 01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:24,840 Speaker 1: to be competitive. I want to watch good football games. 2175 01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to go in and you know, we're 2176 01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:29,680 Speaker 1: getting killed, and like, if he has the Patriots on 2177 01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:32,160 Speaker 1: the playoff cust for ten years, that's great. That we're 2178 01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:36,519 Speaker 1: so spoiled, it's unbelievable. But Mike is not exaggerated. I've 2179 01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:39,320 Speaker 1: heard people say if he goes ten years and only 2180 01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:43,559 Speaker 1: wins one, that's a fail. No, how can you then? 2181 01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:46,599 Speaker 1: Who said that? People in the media or fans both 2182 01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:50,720 Speaker 1: God distinguished between the two sometimes on my shows. Yeah, 2183 01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:54,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah, our expectations have been just so warped because 2184 01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:59,479 Speaker 1: of the last twenty years, just warped. Alright, anyone, I 2185 01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:02,559 Speaker 1: don't know. Let's go to Patty and agawam, what's up Patty? 2186 01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:09,000 Speaker 1: What's up? Guys? Hey, hey back Paul, Polly, how dare 2187 01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:13,800 Speaker 1: you crap on my guy? After doing the gritty? But no, seriously, UM, 2188 01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:16,200 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say, uh, bring up a couple 2189 01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:18,800 Speaker 1: of things as far as like comps go. I don't 2190 01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:21,000 Speaker 1: think that the Eli Manning tomp is that far off 2191 01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:25,080 Speaker 1: because he's actually one of the players that something out. 2192 01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:28,760 Speaker 1: But um, I'm kind of with you too, Polly on 2193 01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,960 Speaker 1: the intangibles. And I don't know if you guys caught this, 2194 01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:34,200 Speaker 1: but uh, in the NFL sights and sounds in the 2195 01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:38,559 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. The uh like, right at the end 2196 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,920 Speaker 1: of the game, Um, what do you call it? Pat 2197 01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:44,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes goes over to Joe Burrow and says, all right, man, 2198 01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:46,040 Speaker 1: go win it. And Joe just like as he's walking 2199 01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:48,040 Speaker 1: away just sort of tipped his cap to him. But 2200 01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:51,040 Speaker 1: even before that, when they were down twenty one to thirteen, 2201 01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:54,680 Speaker 1: he had his guys in the huddle and he's he said, Um, 2202 01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:57,680 Speaker 1: when we score this touchdown, we're going for two. So 2203 01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:02,000 Speaker 1: like that's you know, that sort of attitude. I can't Yeah, 2204 01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,080 Speaker 1: I can't say for sure, but I think Max sort 2205 01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:06,560 Speaker 1: of has that sort of like cock sure and a 2206 01:53:06,600 --> 01:53:10,160 Speaker 1: little maybe a little bit cocky and confident attitude. We'll see, 2207 01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:12,360 Speaker 1: you could see it. You could see it play out 2208 01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:15,160 Speaker 1: because his teammates, like Burrow, like all of his teammates 2209 01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:17,439 Speaker 1: love them, not just his offensive guys, but like all 2210 01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:20,680 Speaker 1: the defensive guys love them. Yeah. I also think that 2211 01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:22,519 Speaker 1: that might be a little part for the chorus. When 2212 01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:24,760 Speaker 1: you're in a drive like that, when you're down, you're 2213 01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:27,080 Speaker 1: trying to prepare, there's not much time left in the game. 2214 01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:29,080 Speaker 1: You want to make sure everybody's on the same page. Okay, 2215 01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,719 Speaker 1: so when we do this is what's going to happen, 2216 01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:32,800 Speaker 1: So that you because you don't any time, you don't 2217 01:53:32,800 --> 01:53:35,320 Speaker 1: want to waste a time out right, you're losing and 2218 01:53:35,479 --> 01:53:37,240 Speaker 1: you have to play. I think that's there's a little 2219 01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:39,679 Speaker 1: bit to that. That part of that is prep. Yeah, 2220 01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:42,400 Speaker 1: that's that's good. That's a celebration. What are we doing 2221 01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:45,120 Speaker 1: bowling your pins? I'm ball? You know right now? That 2222 01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:47,719 Speaker 1: would do Now, that would concern me if you heard 2223 01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:50,439 Speaker 1: some of that on the NFL film celebration were doing. Though, 2224 01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:54,320 Speaker 1: Let's do the one that bothers Fred the most, and 2225 01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:56,200 Speaker 1: then we'll take a picture. You pretend like you got 2226 01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,799 Speaker 1: a kayak. You're a kayak guy, right, I'd like imagine 2227 01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:01,719 Speaker 1: them choreographing this curse guy from the Patriots. He doesn't 2228 01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:04,880 Speaker 1: like those, So let's do it. You do you don't. 2229 01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,759 Speaker 1: You don't see the difference between like, hey, if we score, 2230 01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:10,719 Speaker 1: he said, when we score, were I think that's football. 2231 01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:12,920 Speaker 1: I think if you don't think you're gonna score every 2232 01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:14,679 Speaker 1: time you're on the field, you're in the wrong profession. 2233 01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:19,120 Speaker 1: Fair enough. I liked it, though, like I I like 2234 01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:21,760 Speaker 1: I like him, I like him a lot, and I 2235 01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:24,720 Speaker 1: do think Mac has I think Mac has confidence. Yeah, 2236 01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,439 Speaker 1: I don't think he lacks confidence. I don't think that's 2237 01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:32,640 Speaker 1: a problem. All right, thanks Patty, appreciate it. Um let's 2238 01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:36,440 Speaker 1: see lots of emails, but running out of time. I 2239 01:54:36,520 --> 01:54:39,480 Speaker 1: like in general, I just don't love him the way 2240 01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:43,960 Speaker 1: some do. I'm with you, really, since when you used 2241 01:54:43,960 --> 01:54:46,800 Speaker 1: to love them forever, you used to hard, you used 2242 01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:50,919 Speaker 1: to sash thinking about my heart, mat Am. I convinced 2243 01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:53,600 Speaker 1: that he is on his way to being a top 2244 01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:55,720 Speaker 1: five to seven quarterback in league. I'm not. I'm not 2245 01:54:55,760 --> 01:55:00,400 Speaker 1: convinced that's my quarterback. Let's go. Yeah, let's easy to 2246 01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:03,240 Speaker 1: say when you when you don't have an option, I 2247 01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:07,760 Speaker 1: don't think here's my quarterback too well, No, but like 2248 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:11,040 Speaker 1: you could say, we're moving on, you know one year, 2249 01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:13,680 Speaker 1: you know he's my quarterback, let's go, And you can't 2250 01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:16,960 Speaker 1: move on until you have an option. That's better. Yeah, 2251 01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:18,800 Speaker 1: but I'd like to see I'd like to see some 2252 01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:20,600 Speaker 1: more juice next year. I want to see. I want 2253 01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:23,240 Speaker 1: to see something. I think I think it would help 2254 01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:25,040 Speaker 1: that he's not going to be looking over his shoulder. 2255 01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:27,720 Speaker 1: He's not going to be a rookie. He has a 2256 01:55:27,800 --> 01:55:30,320 Speaker 1: year of experience, he's gonna have a full offseason, he'll 2257 01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:32,840 Speaker 1: be all of those will help, you know, that's all. 2258 01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:34,680 Speaker 1: That's all what I wrote today, that was I mean, 2259 01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:36,680 Speaker 1: this is what's been on my brain. So that's you know, 2260 01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:40,600 Speaker 1: especially in this team, I just can't imagine, like, you know, 2261 01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:44,240 Speaker 1: how like stressful it is to be on on this 2262 01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:47,320 Speaker 1: team because everything is just so exact. And I'm not 2263 01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:49,320 Speaker 1: just talking about on the field. I'm talking about during 2264 01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:52,520 Speaker 1: the week, you know, And maybe that's a problem. It 2265 01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:55,879 Speaker 1: could be. It's not for everybody. It's not for everybody, 2266 01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:58,600 Speaker 1: but I think it might be for everybody when Brady's 2267 01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:01,560 Speaker 1: running the show, you know. I mean, I think the 2268 01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:03,600 Speaker 1: difference in Mac at the Pro Bowl versus what we 2269 01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:05,680 Speaker 1: kind of saw this year was, you know, it was 2270 01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:07,720 Speaker 1: a little bit striking. And I mean I think that 2271 01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:10,040 Speaker 1: that gritty dance and taking it, you know, with the 2272 01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:11,720 Speaker 1: hell just running with it. I mean, I think that 2273 01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:14,120 Speaker 1: shows a little bit more personally. I hope we get 2274 01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:15,760 Speaker 1: to see more of that next year. I hope he's 2275 01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:17,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable in his skin and his 2276 01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:20,880 Speaker 1: role do the gritty and stuff every practice and stuff 2277 01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:25,360 Speaker 1: and stuff. Ken says back to Andrew's call about Brady's 2278 01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:27,839 Speaker 1: leverage and all that he says. I agree with the caller, Andrew. 2279 01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:30,960 Speaker 1: I think Brady might wait until the season starts and 2280 01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:33,960 Speaker 1: fill in if a contender gets an injury. Oh, I agree. 2281 01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:36,560 Speaker 1: So what would the Bucks do if it's Week five, 2282 01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:40,000 Speaker 1: they have a new quarterback and an AFC elite quarterback 2283 01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,920 Speaker 1: gets injured. I think the Bucks would take a fourth 2284 01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 1: rounder to release the rights to Brady. That's all. I 2285 01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:48,440 Speaker 1: have no idea what him. I don't think they would 2286 01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:50,360 Speaker 1: trade him for just that. But I agree with you. 2287 01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:52,640 Speaker 1: That's that's a scenario that I could see Brady coming 2288 01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:55,600 Speaker 1: back in. Yep. Yeah, I'm with you, and I'm with 2289 01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,440 Speaker 1: Andrew too. I was, you know, like, I get it. 2290 01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:01,600 Speaker 1: It's it's a hard thing. I personally would say, you're 2291 01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:04,160 Speaker 1: playing for me or nobody, because what are the odds 2292 01:57:04,160 --> 01:57:07,800 Speaker 1: that Tampa is making that move that quarterback? So now 2293 01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:11,280 Speaker 1: this is twice in four years, three years, they're getting 2294 01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:14,760 Speaker 1: the marquee quarterback on the market, right, like more often, 2295 01:57:14,840 --> 01:57:17,640 Speaker 1: more likely is they're getting like Jameis Winston back. It's 2296 01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:20,280 Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, Matt Ryan's like, hey look 2297 01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:24,000 Speaker 1: at me, and the only quarterback, last quarterback in the division. 2298 01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:27,960 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, is any part of you think that 2299 01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,640 Speaker 1: Brady just said what he said in part just to 2300 01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:34,320 Speaker 1: stay relevant. Yeah, like that he just wants to be 2301 01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:37,480 Speaker 1: like included in any of these conversations. I mean we 2302 01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:39,920 Speaker 1: all said that's why Gronk was doing it, you know, 2303 01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:43,680 Speaker 1: leading people on it. Yeah. I mean you could make 2304 01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:46,040 Speaker 1: the same argument Gronk was doing it to sell products. Yeah, 2305 01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:51,120 Speaker 1: but and maybe act right, he's just why I said, Yeah, 2306 01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:53,160 Speaker 1: you could make the same argument. It's a tough transition, 2307 01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:55,800 Speaker 1: I think for guys, especially someone like him, who has 2308 01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:58,840 Speaker 1: been doing this and has been regimented and now he's 2309 01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna be kind of spinning without this a cranky little 2310 01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:06,720 Speaker 1: beach in like two months. Sure. Well, but I could 2311 01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:09,720 Speaker 1: also see liked l if he if he really believes 2312 01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:15,000 Speaker 1: in his TB twelve empire and goes into the business 2313 01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:16,960 Speaker 1: world and says, you know what, my goal is to 2314 01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:22,800 Speaker 1: take over this aspect of the sports therapy or lifestyle 2315 01:58:22,880 --> 01:58:25,600 Speaker 1: market path leisure out. Yeah, like five to ten years 2316 01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,080 Speaker 1: from now, we're going to be considered the best in 2317 01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:29,720 Speaker 1: the world. Like, I could see him being like psychotically 2318 01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:31,720 Speaker 1: obsessed with doing that, and like he's got a new 2319 01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:34,520 Speaker 1: passion coming for you, Lululemon. There's more than one thing 2320 01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:36,240 Speaker 1: in the world that you can like and be good 2321 01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:44,080 Speaker 1: at and and want to go after. My name is Tom. 2322 01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:46,840 Speaker 1: Like it's so competitive, Like maybe he gets into that 2323 01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:49,120 Speaker 1: and decides, Okay, I can I can get into this 2324 01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:52,480 Speaker 1: and be really ultra competitive in that. He could. Yeah, 2325 01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:54,080 Speaker 1: maybe he'll just become a fan of a team and 2326 01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:57,080 Speaker 1: get super invested in it like me. Well, I heard, 2327 01:58:57,560 --> 01:59:00,440 Speaker 1: and now we're up against it. But I heard, like 2328 01:59:01,160 --> 01:59:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, he wants you know, like there's rumors of 2329 01:59:04,040 --> 01:59:06,400 Speaker 1: him wanting to be an owner in the league. But 2330 01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:08,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's from him or just someone 2331 01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:13,800 Speaker 1: speculating him and Peyton should go joint joint venture, Like 2332 01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:15,720 Speaker 1: Peyton could get out and do all the talking and 2333 01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:19,680 Speaker 1: day be entertaining that Tom's not and Tom could be 2334 01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:22,600 Speaker 1: the closer behind the scenes. I's been a little looser 2335 01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:27,040 Speaker 1: these last couple of years doing commercials and stuff. He's 2336 01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:30,440 Speaker 1: just not good at him subway, But I'm Tom Brady 2337 01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:36,040 Speaker 1: be an expansion team, maybe the Omaha something.
