So we're excited to I'm excited to see 139 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: that out there. Yeah you haven't seen it yet. 140 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 5: I haven't seen it, so I'm excited to see that 141 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 5: and I know that it's a lot of work has 142 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 5: been put into that by a lot of people in 143 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 5: our department, and it should be cool. And I think 144 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 5: in general I used to be into the schedule. Now 145 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 5: I'm not going to lie. It's mostly just about okay, 146 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 5: how can I structure the next six months of my life? 147 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 5: More than anything, And I understand that that is nobody cares. 148 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 5: So I do find it interesting how much juice this gets. 149 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 5: And I do think it just is because people are 150 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 5: starving for any sort of football in the middle of 151 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 5: the summer. But in general, for people like us, this 152 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 5: dictates our schedules. 153 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: You know, it's like getting your work schedule right, here's 154 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: your assignments right. 155 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, but for fans, I do find it interesting. But 156 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 5: with Brady coming back, I had one thing to say 157 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 5: about that. I think for all, I don't want to 158 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 5: speak for everybody, but for me personally, I felt like 159 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 5: the way that he left there was such little closure in, 160 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: such little appreciation for what he brought to this city, organization, everything. 161 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 5: So it's nice to finally get to to kind of 162 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 5: close the book a little bit and say thanks and say, 163 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 5: you know, give him the deserving send off. I just 164 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 5: I hate to this day that Tom Brady's last moments 165 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 5: as a Patriot are walking off the field losing to 166 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 5: the Titans in the playoffs at home and what was 167 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 5: maybe one of the most just underwhelming playoff performances of 168 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 5: the whole era. 169 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: It just it was a rock fight. It was an 170 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: ugly game. 171 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 5: They didn't play well, obviously, and just to go it 172 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 5: felt like you went out limping as a Patriot. And 173 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 5: and that's that's stung. 174 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 6: Logan Ryan picked six, Like, yeah, I think we were 175 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 6: riding down the elevator maybe like when that happened, I 176 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 6: don't remember. 177 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: Did we see that live or was that was that 178 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: when we saw it? We saw it, Yeah, and then 179 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: we decided, okay, that's our cute to break up the 180 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: post starting to show. 181 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I agree with you though, And you know what, 182 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 5: I think, COVID hit and then he and then he 183 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 5: announces that he's leaving on social media and it's very disconnected. 184 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 5: Everybody's very disconnected at that time with COVID anyways. So 185 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 5: there just was never a moment or a period of 186 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 5: time where fans could say thank you, fans could honor him, 187 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 5: and uh, the other thing is just it's great that 188 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 5: he does want to be a part of the Patriot 189 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 5: organization again, and he does want to be associated with 190 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 5: the Patriots and and really put himself back into that 191 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 5: mindset of of being a lifelong Patriot. So I hated 192 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 5: how it ended. I'm glad this will hopefully rewrite it 193 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 5: a little bit. 194 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 6: I kind of found myself thinking a little bit on 195 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 6: the Tampa Bay game when he came back here this 196 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 6: morning and just you know, now, as it's a couple of. 197 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: Years in the rearview mirror, just of a what a 198 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 3: cool experience that was, like that we actually got to 199 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: see that, like, you know, just once, but still like 200 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 3: you know, at the time, it was so you're so 201 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 3: wrapped up in. 202 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 6: Everything going on with you know, the team and Bill 203 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 6: and man Tom and O Tom, We're going to go 204 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 6: back there, you know, all the other kind of noise 205 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 6: that went with it. But now it's like in retrospect, 206 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 6: it was just like, what a cool thing that that 207 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 6: actually happened, that he got to come back here and 208 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 6: play that. It was you know, a pretty entertaining game, 209 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 6: and you know, just to I don't know, I don't 210 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 6: know if it would be of course, his career is 211 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 6: what it is, and nothing could could add more to that. 212 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 6: But just what a cool thing that he actually got 213 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 6: to come here and play a game, you know, and compete. 214 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 6: I think that's that's kind of a fun thing now 215 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 6: that's that's happened, But plenty of people weighing in on 216 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 6: that and the schedule release and everything. We also heard 217 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 6: from a couple guys today, Evan and I went down 218 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 6: to her from Devon Godshaw, who talked a little bit about, 219 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 6: you know, getting everybody back basically on the defensive side 220 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 6: of the ball except for Devin. And then we got 221 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 6: to hear from James Robinson for the first time, so 222 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 6: he talked a little bit after signing here coming off 223 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 6: a kind of a weird year last year, going from 224 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 6: the Jags to the Jets, coming off a torn achilles. 225 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 6: Spoke a little bit about that as well. So, I mean, 226 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 6: he's a little bit of a wild card this year. 227 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 6: I'm not sure exactly, you know, how you look at him, 228 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 6: if he's coming in to replace Damien Harris, or if 229 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 6: he's just kind of all right, compete against these two 230 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 6: rookies from last year. See if those guys have made 231 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 6: any strides and you kind of have a veteran there 232 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 6: to at least provide some insurance. But we've been talking 233 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 6: a little bit aout the running back position. There's some 234 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 6: interesting stuff, Yeah, there is. 235 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 5: I think people always are interested in running backs for 236 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 5: whatever reason. In Time Montgomery, I think, is another name 237 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 5: that is kind of this mythical creature that we all 238 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 5: saw at training campus. If you weren't out at training camp, 239 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 5: he didn't really get to see a ton of time 240 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 5: Montgomery and live action. And there was some good things 241 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 5: that he did last year, especially catching passes out of 242 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 5: the backfield. It felt like he was trending towards the 243 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 5: third down back role being his until he got injured 244 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 5: towards the end of preseason and then obviously in Week 245 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 5: one against Miami. But with James Robinson, I think what's 246 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 5: interesting is that his contract structure basically guarantees him nothing. 247 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 5: He's not guaranteed a roster spot, he's not guaranteed a 248 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 5: role of any kind. So he's going to earn it 249 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 5: here with the Patriots. And as much as it's not 250 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 5: to pick on James Robinson, but you would like to 251 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 5: hope that Pierre Stronger, Kevin Harris kind of beats him 252 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 5: out for opportunities. I think that he's sort of a 253 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 5: backup plan to those two guys, especially Peer Strong, Like 254 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 5: you really hope that this year is the year that 255 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 5: Pierre Strong. Maybe he had that Damien Harris rookie red 256 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 5: shirt style season and then he comes on this year 257 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 5: and is a factor. If you're turning to James Robinson 258 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 5: in Time Ongomery because those two guys didn't pan out, 259 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 5: then you kind of missed on the draft picks right, 260 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 5: and there was a lot of guys in the fourth 261 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: round that went around Pierre Strong that are productive players, 262 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 5: that were good players, and then Isaiah bicheck Will obviously 263 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 5: went in the seventh round. So if you look back 264 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 5: on it and you get nothing out of those two guys, know, 265 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 5: pre mad, I'm mad about something that hasn't happened yet, 266 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 5: but no offense. I just kind of feel like James 267 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 5: Robinson and Time Montgomery shouldn't be major factors. If everything 268 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 5: works out the way you want it to, those guys 269 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 5: should be. One of them will be on the roster 270 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 5: as the fourth running back, but in general, it should 271 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 5: be the two second year guys that are taking on 272 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 5: the load left behind by Damian Harris. 273 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 6: Absolutely, Well, we got some some emails rolling in. You know, 274 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 6: shoot us our email web radio at Patriots dot com. 275 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 3: Give us a call eight five to five, Pats five 276 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 3: hundred be here for the next couple of hours. 277 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 6: You know, people are writing in about schedule leaks and 278 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. You guys know where a 279 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 6: little bit in a weird, weird spot to talk about 280 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 6: all that stuff. But yeah, well we'll see everything will 281 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 6: officially come out tonight and then we can we can 282 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 6: all chat about next week. But I just any any 283 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 6: particular games you guys are looking they're looking at on 284 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 6: the schedule. 285 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: In turn, not for me, but you know, Evan and 286 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: I were talking before the show started, and I agree 287 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: for me, it's all about the holidays, and there are 288 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: you know, there's a cycle that goes around where Christmas 289 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: and New Year's fall on the weekends, and it was 290 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 3: last year like that, it's this year like that. So 291 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 3: the full slate is on Christmas Eve. There's three games 292 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: I think a triple header on Christmas Day. So I mean, obviously, 293 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: if you're not playing the Thursday night game heading into 294 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: Christmas weekend, you're going to be playing on Christmas again. 295 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: So that's that's all I would care about. For me personally, 296 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: I already know who they're playing. I know where they're playing, 297 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: and you know, we did find out about the Indianapolis 298 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: game in Germany, but we knew they were playing in 299 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: Germany for one of the home games. It's the Colts, 300 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 3: and otherwise I'm not all that interested. You know, Thanksgiving 301 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: last year, they have a chance to play on Thanksgiving 302 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: this year Dallas because they have to go to Dallas. 303 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: You know, we'll see that. That's all I would care 304 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: about is holidays. Yeah, yeah's I mean, that's that's us. 305 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: What are those days going to be? I I'm just 306 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: curious too. 307 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 6: I always look for like the division games and how 308 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 6: does it kind of break up they've had the last 309 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 6: couple of years. It's been, you know, weird where they've 310 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 6: had like Miami has been the book end. They played 311 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 6: the Jets in the middle and then they like bang 312 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 6: out Buffalo twice in like December and the last you know, 313 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 6: so that's kind of fed into how the season's gone 314 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 6: the last couple of years. Always curious to just about 315 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 6: when do you got to go to Buffalo? When does 316 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 6: Miami got to come here? When do you have to 317 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 6: go there? Are you're playing in Florida, you know, in 318 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 6: the in the heat, or are they coming up here 319 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 6: in the cold? 320 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: Maybe both? 321 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 6: But the division games are huge, And of course Aaron 322 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 6: Rodgers and I think what was what was revealed that the. 323 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: Jets opening game? I think was was revealed? I think 324 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: I think, well, is that official Monday night game? Jets Bills? 325 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: Just bill Jets Bills opening Monday night week? One minute? 326 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 3: And I did see the opener itself, the NFL kickoff 327 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: Lions Lions Chiefs, So Lion's getting a little bit of 328 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: I don't know, it's like I heard somebody saal national games. 329 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 3: I guess as that's I mean, that's a big window, 330 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: the NFL opener, And I know they don't want to 331 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 3: put necessarily the best possible matchup on that, because it's 332 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 3: going to be a great rating anyway, but they also 333 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 3: don't want to put a lousy one. And I think 334 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: there's probably some optimism in Detroit that they haven't had 335 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: in recent years. You want to make sure you capitalize 336 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: on that. Like let's just say, for argument's sake, you 337 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: wanted to put Lions at Chiefs in primetime. Well, I'd 338 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 3: rather do it in week one than week nine, because 339 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: all due respect to Dan Campbell in the line, there's 340 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: a chance that they're you know, three and six, you know, 341 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: going into to week ten or something like that. You 342 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: don't want to run that risk. So Week one, you know, 343 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: there's a lot of optim optimism heading into that game. 344 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 3: Like think about last year. You know, the Rams are 345 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 3: playing because they were obviously defending Super Bowl champs. It 346 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: was a great matchup Opening night, It's Buffalo against the Rams. 347 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 3: You know, if that Buffalo Rams game took in Week twelve, 348 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 3: it was a you know, would have been terrible with 349 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: no buzz. 350 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 351 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's what the primetime game slate. I 352 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 5: always look at that because it tells me to the 353 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 5: teams that the NFL trusts are gonna be good and 354 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 5: you know, they trust the infrastructure of the organization and 355 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 5: the team and the roster is gonna be good enough 356 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 5: that you can schedule a December primetime game and not 357 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 5: worry that it's gonna be Russell Wilson two point zero 358 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 5: and you're gonna have this horrible Broncos team on primetime. 359 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 5: Six times in the second half of the season like 360 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 5: last year. Yeah, So that's I thing something that's gonna 361 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 5: be interesting now. I know there's more flexibility with the 362 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 5: flex scheduling and getting those games out of there. But 363 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 5: you always wonder teams, certain teams that kind of on 364 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 5: the fence about to you, if you're gonna give them 365 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,239 Speaker 5: primetime games because they have enough juice to be in primetime, 366 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 5: do you do it early just so that you don't 367 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 5: run into that because I can see a couple of 368 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 5: teams the darlings of the offseason, just like the Broncos 369 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 5: were last year being a Broncos some of one of 370 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 5: those teams that's not going to work out, like somebody 371 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 5: is gonna get it. 372 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 3: Right to me, is a prime candidate for that. Now. 373 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: I think that they have some some pieces, and you know, 374 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: I think they added some intriguing guys in the draft too. 375 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 3: But I'm not going to be stunned if they're like 376 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 3: stumbling around same as last year or they did here 377 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 3: in that game, I thought, I to Paul, I wanted 378 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 3: to highlight the entire team. That's another ruck something you said. 379 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 6: Though that I thought was was insightful, as you know, 380 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 6: to do just just the fact that it's the Colts 381 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 6: that you're losing, because it's a big part that you're 382 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 6: going to lose a home game for the Patriots to 383 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 6: go to Germany, and your course excited to go to Germany. 384 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 6: It's a home market now, all that, but you do 385 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 6: lose a game here in the revenue that you get. 386 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 6: But it being Indie with Anthony Richardson at quarterback, a 387 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 6: little bit of transition going there. If you're going to 388 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 6: lose a game, you wouldn't want to lose Kansas City. 389 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 6: You wouldn't want to lose Philadelphia, you know those prime 390 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 6: marquee games. 391 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: I think it was the worst game on the home 392 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: schedule out of the nine home opponents. I think that 393 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 3: was probably the one. You're going Washington Commanders, New Orleans, Indie, 394 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 3: and I look at the two NFC teams as teams 395 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: that you don't see regularly, even though New Orleans was 396 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 3: just here a couple of years ago. The way it 397 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 3: worked with that extra game, they lined up with the 398 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 3: NFC South third place team, I think that ended up 399 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 3: being New Orleans. So by happenstance, I would have chosen 400 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: the Colts. The only thing about the Colts to me 401 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 3: that is at all intriguing right now is Anthony Richardson 402 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: and when he plays, And. 403 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 5: I do think yet by that point of the year 404 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 5: he might be playing. Yeah, I don't think he's I 405 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 5: don't know if he'll be he you right away, but 406 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 5: I think by week twelve you might have him in there, 407 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 5: So that that would be exciting that yeah, if we 408 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 5: got to go all the way over there, that at 409 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 5: least like Anthony Riddinson will be there. 410 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 3: And if you're you know, I could see that like 411 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 3: let's say he starts playing, maybe plays four or five 412 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 3: games and he show you know, like remember Deshaun Watson 413 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 3: when he started to play in a little bit and 414 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: it only took him three or four games before you said, Wow, 415 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: this guy could play. And if that's like that, then 416 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: maybe we'll look at it and say, oh, I wish 417 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 3: that Colts game in Fox. They get the dust off 418 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: the old Bill Belichick versus rookie quarterback stats that always 419 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 3: get get thrown around and thrown about. 420 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 6: But yeah, the Commanders was one for me too. That 421 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 6: was just kind of but as you said, you don't 422 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 6: really get to see those those teams a lot. But 423 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 6: I mean the Chiefs that I mean that that now 424 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 6: will be a home game now that they're not you know, 425 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 6: going to play I mean, I know Kansas City's playing 426 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 6: in Germany as well, but that game will be here. 427 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: So that's good news. Philadelphia will be here. 428 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 6: You mentioned the Saints Chargers too, so you know, getting 429 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 6: a little cross section here, some good young teams, I think. Uh, 430 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 6: and of course going to. 431 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 3: Jerry's World, which I saw report that that there's a 432 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving that they're going to play somebody on Thanksgiving, not 433 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: the Patriots, so I'm I saw Washington tied to them, 434 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: but I don't know if that was one of the 435 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 3: ones that was announced. Yeah, so so you know, we're 436 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: all that's why we're not getting into, like Mike said, 437 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: you know, we're not getting into what is official and 438 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: what isn't official because we don't know. We're not going 439 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 3: to touch it. That's right, that's right. But a couple 440 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: of other things, the housekeeping things. 441 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 6: So we did pr officially announced that we'll get some 442 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 6: access to a couple o t as in a couple 443 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 6: of weeks. That went out last night, so that will 444 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 6: be believe two weeks from today will be the first 445 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 6: time we'll get a glimp glimpse at them and then Friday, uh, 446 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 6: and then I think the. 447 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 3: Following week, so scheduled for three practices. 448 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 6: Last year, I think we only got two OTAs and 449 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 6: then we got too mini camp practices. Mini camp will 450 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 6: be then the following week, So a lot going on. 451 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 6: I mean, it'll be you know, it's it's like the 452 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 6: off season. But you're also like, we're meeting. 453 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 3: With guys, the schedules coming out, they're gonna be. They're 454 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 3: having a food truck party out there as well. We 455 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 3: don't mean and even't tried to walk what's this? I know, 456 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 3: I think not for us. 457 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 6: No, it was kind of we tried to cut around 458 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 6: because now the new media area is down over at 459 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 6: E two, so we just went to walk out and 460 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 6: around in front of football, but it was all blocked 461 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 6: off and they had a bunch of food trucks there. 462 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 3: So I assume this is one of those spring player activities, 463 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 3: team building team. I thought, I thought, you know, the 464 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: special people upstairs were giving access to something, especially food. 465 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 3: Looked like there was an ice cream truck to got food. 466 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: Go for some food right now, But why didn't you 467 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: order something?

He's winning me back ever since, like 494 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 3: I don't know about eight am this morning. 495 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, when I saw that come across my phone, 496 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 5: I was like, come back, Dad, please let by gone? 497 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 11: Yes? 498 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 3: Right, okay, Well, you know my apology. 499 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 10: Making emotions like you're you're excited because of what he 500 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 10: did for the franchise and then you kind of feel 501 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 10: like the tilted lover because he left. And I was 502 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 10: really upset when he left, simply because he had a 503 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 10: chance to do something that very few players get to 504 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 10: do in this day and age, which to stay with 505 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 10: the team that they're dafted them. And so that was 506 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 10: my primary, uh fault if you will, with him leaving 507 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 10: h And the main thing was it was he was 508 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 10: the one that changed, not Bill Belichick. And I'm not 509 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 10: trying to defend a chick. I'm just saying, like, over 510 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 10: the twenty years, the only one that changed was Tom Brady. 511 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 10: So that was where my source of frustration came from. 512 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 10: But I am glad that he is coming back and 513 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 10: he can retire hopefully a Patriots. 514 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with Rob's assessment. Then what Brady 515 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: changed and Belichick really didn't, or at least more than 516 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 3: Belichick did. But I think that the decision for him 517 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: to leave was Belichick's. Yeah, like more so than Brady's kind. 518 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 6: Of related l from Wisconsin and a email, than just 519 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 6: saying maybe Brady's last game would have been so tough 520 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 6: and disappointing if the GM could have built a team 521 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 6: around him rather than throwing scraps and hoping Brady could 522 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 6: pull them across the finish line. 523 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 3: Thank you, Elle, But I mean that's uh, I mean, 524 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 3: I can't be upset about things that happened five years 525 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 3: ago anymore. No, Yeah, that's why I feel like with 526 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: the Tampa game too, I just feel like I have 527 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: a different perspective. 528 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 6: Not that it got me all worked up or anything. 529 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 6: I mean certainly didn't lead up to it. I mean 530 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 6: there was a lot on the you know you just a. 531 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 3: Friend used to get mad at me because I was 532 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 3: just like so tired of By's coming back. That week 533 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 3: was a long week of that, well, because it actually 534 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 3: was a long four weeks of it. Once the season started, 535 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 3: it was that it was just like, forget about the 536 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 3: first three weeks, It's all about this game. 537 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 5: And I was like, yeah, the nineteen thing, though, does 538 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 5: it is interesting like in terms of the team around him, 539 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 5: because I don't think it. I truly do not think 540 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 5: that the nineteen offense was due to a lack of trying. 541 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 5: They just didn't try correctly. Like they drafted to kill 542 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 5: Harry in the first round. 543 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: You know they what is that this new year two? Yeah? 544 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, they traded for Mohammed Sanu at the deadline. They 545 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 5: drafted Nikil Harry in the first round. They signed Antonio Brown, 546 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 5: which we all remember in the beginning part of the season. 547 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 5: In the first month, they just didn't hit on the 548 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 5: moves that they made. And you can blame the GM 549 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 5: for that, like that, they poorly evaluated the talent or 550 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it in the nineteenth draft. 551 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 5: But if ni kil Harry he ends up being the 552 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 5: player they thought he was going to be, then is 553 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 5: it they they used the asset like they tried to 554 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 5: get him in another weapon when Gronk retired and they drafted. 555 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 6: The receiver in the first round, Tamarus Thomas in the 556 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 6: I mean not that he was still but you know 557 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 6: they were they were throwing stuff at the They were 558 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 6: throwing stuff at the wall. 559 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 3: That's what. It didn't work. No, it just didn't. And 560 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 3: I mean the Mohammed Sanu think can still make you sick. 561 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: Trading a second round pick for that guy. Yeah, he's 562 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: been in the news. He wants, he wants to come back. 563 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 3: Not he he was done four years ago. I remember 564 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 3: him being like, you know, he just was so confident 565 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 3: when he got here that it was all going to 566 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 3: be great. And you know, I remember the squeeze the 567 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 3: Baltimore game. Wasn't the Baltimore game that he caught a 568 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 3: bunch of passes. 569 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, he came out of the gate pretty well. Yeah, 570 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 5: it was Baltimore. 571 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: I think that was a rough loss, though I don't 572 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 3: I forget. Yeah, oh yeah, he was one of the 573 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: bright spots Mike mixing up years. It's not like people 574 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: you're I think you're right. I don't know that sounds 575 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 3: you're you're dead on with sinew And I remember him 576 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 3: catching a bunch of like insignificant, like eight yard passes. Yeah, yeah, 577 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 3: but he had like a lot of them, and everybody 578 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: was like it was against Baltimore. If I'm not mistake. 579 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: He got injured to he injured his ankle at some 580 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 5: point when he got with the Patriots, and I think 581 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 5: it was on a turning a punt, yeah, because they 582 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 5: had to put him back on punts, right, and he 583 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 5: injured his ankle, and that at that point he that 584 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 5: was it. He was already not he's already at like 585 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 5: seventy five percent. 586 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 6: And then I think he hit on a pretty good 587 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 6: Evan like because I it's not that they didn't try, Like, 588 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 6: I think that there were a lot of, you know, 589 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 6: things you could point to that, well, they drafted a 590 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 6: first round receiver, they traded a second round pick for 591 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 6: a receiver. You know, the Antonio Brown thing blew up. 592 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 6: I just it goes for me as always goes back 593 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 6: to the draft. You know that was there was just 594 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 6: the picks that you missed on and Harry being a 595 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 6: primary one. Although at that point, you know, what were 596 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 6: you expecting him to come in and do I mean, 597 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 6: even when you're still going to get ab early in 598 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 6: the season, it acknowledges like we don't expect me kill 599 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 6: but by that point they had to because he was hurt. 600 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 5: Right, So even if nikkil Harry and up being a 601 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 5: fine player, like even if he ends up being Sony 602 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 5: Michelle or Isaiah Winner, one of these first round picks 603 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 5: that they've had recently that hasn't panned out in terms 604 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 5: of being a ten year Patriot. But was just somebody 605 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 5: that gave you some game, gave you something, yea. Then 606 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 5: it's totally a different conversation in nineteen because the defense 607 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 5: I wasn't great, and I know that a lot of 608 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 5: it was fools gold early on in the season for 609 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 5: that defense. But I still think that defense was good 610 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 5: enough that if the offense had been pulling it side 611 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 5: of the rope, that they would have been a more 612 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 5: competitive team down the stretch. 613 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 3: Than they were. 614 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 6: Well L from Wisconsin writing back, and sorry, Evan, he 615 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 6: says you're wrong. So lets you say, talking about twenty nineteen, 616 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 6: I'm not going to give BB credit for trying. He 617 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 6: had been a coach for like twenty years. We don't 618 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 6: get a trophy for trying to draft the same receiver 619 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 6: that week. 620 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 5: When I'm critical of Bill and I'm questioning the greatest 621 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 5: coach of all time, and who am I to do that? 622 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 5: And then when I say that he tried, then I'm 623 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 5: not critical enough. I I don't know, well, I mean, 624 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 5: he took some swings at that part. I mean they 625 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 5: took some swings and the noise, ignore the noise. Yeah, 626 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 5: I was just looking up snow from that year and 627 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 5: it was right. I think we all had it right. 628 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. He had ten catches for eighty one yards in 629 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 3: that Baltimore game. He had twenty six catches as a Patriot, 630 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: Like it was just this one day where he caught 631 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 3: a bunch, in my opinion, of insignificant short passes while 632 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: they were trailing by two scores. Yeah, there were a 633 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 3: lot of hot so they were never really in. Yeah, 634 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 3: they were never really in that game. 635 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 12: Ye. 636 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 3: And you know, just looking at the rest of it 637 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 3: before that, it was two catches, two catches, three catches, 638 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 3: one catch, two catch, three catch, three catch, and he 639 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 3: missed a game like just nothing. 640 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 5: I do remember standing in front of his locker when 641 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 5: they first made the move and him talking for the 642 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 5: first time, and he was the juice and the squeeze 643 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 5: and he was like, I'm I'm here, and I'm it's 644 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 5: gonna be great. 645 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 3: I got this. 646 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 5: And honestly at the time, I liked his game for them, 647 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 5: like I thought they he would translate well as a smart, 648 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 5: shifty route runner, good hands like I did think that 649 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 5: he was a good a good pick up for them. 650 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 5: He just didn't have the juice anymore. 651 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 3: He just didn't have it.

I 652 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 3: mean it would have would it be back to comparison 653 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 3: to say, somewhere in the in the realm of Juju, 654 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 3: of of kind of a big slot calmparison, compay, comparison, 655 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 3: apologize the same in the in the world. I mean, 656 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 3: I Juju got a little bit of juice on the 657 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 3: on the hoof, I think like Juju has left in 658 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: the No, no, no, I'm not trying. I thought he 659 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: looked like a guy was big slots pretty close to 660 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 3: you know, yeah, not known for their quickness, but you know, 661 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 3: outstanding athleticism necessarily, but yeah, good route runners, strong, you know. 662 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: You know s new was a good player in Atlanta. Yeah, 663 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: just not for for us, even in Cincinnati. I think 664 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: he had some MOMENTSINNT. I forgot about those early years 665 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. I got overshadowed by. 666 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 6: Kind of him being on Atlanta during Super Bowl fifty 667 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 6: two and all them Arry going on or Super fifty one. Sorry, 668 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 6: you know, all the talk going on with him on 669 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 6: the sideline being like man, they got Tom Brady like 670 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 6: they seemed to know, they knew what was coming. 671 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: Ryan. I don't feel bad. Let's speaking to Ryan. Let's 672 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: let's jump to Ryan in Virginia. Hey Ryan, what's going on? Ryan? Hello? Ryan? 673 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: One stop eating sands. Oh he's on the other line. 674 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: All right, we're hopping over. Hey Ryan, what's going on in. 675 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 5: Hey? 676 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 11: You guys teaching real right? 677 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? There are you? 678 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: Good? 679 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 11: Awesome, great off and on listener. First time caller, just 680 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 11: really quickly want to shout out Bill Murray as it 681 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 11: will be Marry Brad. I hope fourth year is the 682 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 11: charm and he finally cracks the roster. But I got 683 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 11: a two things for you. I don't know if you 684 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 11: guys saw at the top of the show the announced 685 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 11: that Week one will be Eagles Past. So I thought, 686 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 11: what a great. 687 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: Way to honor. 688 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 11: The Eagle A big plug. 689 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't heard that. Now, I'm not telling you 690 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 3: what's wrong. I'm just saying I haven't heard anybody announce that. 691 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 3: So there's some reports that that's the game. But now 692 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 3: I'm talking about like the league not official. We should 693 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 3: get those. 694 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, a good game. The other thing I just wanted 695 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 11: to touch on you guys mentioned the top of the 696 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 11: show was the running back room. We didn't draft anybody, 697 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 11: so that's what got me a little concerned, was just that, 698 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 11: you know, that's the position with the most wear and tear, 699 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 11: and knowing that our running back room right now is Stevenson, 700 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 11: great back, got a little banged up towards the end 701 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 11: of last year, Robinson who's coming off big injury, and 702 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 11: then two kind of rookies who haven't really proved anything yet. 703 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 11: So just wondering, you know, if there's any level of 704 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 11: concern there for you guys, and if we need to 705 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 11: bring in anybody else no pleasure, Yeah, no. 706 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 3: I mean look if I mean if Montgomery and and 707 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 3: and what's the space the Robinson are like healthy is 708 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 3: just what we just talked to him. 709 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 6: If those guys aren't healthier or don't really can't really 710 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 6: get back to what they were hoping they might be, 711 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 6: and the two rookies from last year don't really develop 712 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 6: and all of a sudden. 713 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 3: If you feel like yeah, then then maybe you're in trouble. 714 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 3: When in Remandre, you know, it gets hurt, then the 715 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 3: JJ Taylor. 716 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 6: H No, I mean I think that at least on paper, 717 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 6: they have a good combination of young guys that they've 718 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 6: expended draft picks on, and you know, remandre Is is 719 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 6: clearly the one a piece, but I don't know, I 720 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 6: haven't completely ruled out Robinson a monk army. I think 721 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 6: with running back, you kind of acquire these guys, put 722 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 6: them on the roster and just see how it plays 723 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 6: out with competition and injuries, and don't try to get 724 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 6: too attached. 725 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 3: I do think they're replacement. But I think Robinson, you know, 726 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: in his ability to catch the ball too, I think 727 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: as a as a complimentary piece, maybe take some of 728 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 3: that burden off of Stevenson that he racked up a 729 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: lot of touches as a receiver. So I think that 730 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 3: that Montgomery, I'm not really expecting anything from enough because 731 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 3: I don't think he's a good player, But I just think, 732 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 3: you know, at this stage, we haven't seen him for 733 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 3: so long healthy, it's hard to just pencil him in 734 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: for a role. 735 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. 736 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 3: You know, if you know, Fred likes to say those 737 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 3: kinds of guys, that's gravy. If we show up in 738 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: training camp and we see him like he was last year, 739 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 3: darting around and looking like he could fill a significant 740 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 3: piece to the puzzle great, but I'm not expecting that. 741 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that there's maybe just I understand that 742 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 5: we didn't get a lot of exposures to Pierre Strong 743 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 5: because he didn't play much in regular season games, but 744 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 5: there's some juice there. And I just think in the 745 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 5: West Coast trip last year in Arizona in Vegas that 746 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 5: I saw enough that at that position, of all positions, 747 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 5: those guys are so replaceable, and I really feel like 748 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 5: Pierre Strong is somebody that with more opportunities and more touches, 749 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 5: I think he's gonna flash a little bit more. And 750 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 5: even a guy like Kevin Harry, So I think the 751 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 5: biggest thing with him was ball security, and he did 752 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 5: put the ball on the ground a little bit in 753 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 5: the summer, and that's going to concern them. But if 754 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 5: he fixes that, and he's somebody that can at least 755 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 5: run between the tackles and get you some yards as 756 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 5: a power back on first down, so I'd never worry 757 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 5: about running backs. It's just they'll find somebody to run 758 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 5: the football, and it's more about everything else. 759 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 3: Do you think that they're actively trying to get away 760 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 3: from having a specific third down back and they're trying 761 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 3: to maybe acquire players that not so much Harris, but 762 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 3: I almost feel like between Ramandre Robinson, what's his face right, Montgomery, 763 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 3: I do think that that's wrong. All those guys are 764 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 3: pretty balanced. I do think that was a big part 765 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 3: of it last year. And I think we saw it 766 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 3: in the summer a little bit in preseason games where 767 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 3: it was, Okay, this is going to be Damian Harris's series, 768 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 3: and you know in a preseason it, this is going 769 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 3: to be Stevenson's, this is going to be Montgomery. She 770 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 3: saw them out there on first down, carrying the ball 771 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 3: on third down, being candidates to catch the ball, and 772 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 3: I think they do want that. However, I think that 773 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 3: when they saw it actually play out that way, I 774 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 3: wonder if they're looking at it and saying, this is 775 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 3: why we didn't really do a lot of that in 776 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 3: the first place, because I think Stevenson ended up really 777 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 3: wearing down, yeah, playing too much because he had to 778 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 3: play too much. Yeah, I think that there's a all 779 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 3: the play calling tendencies last year got messed up because 780 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 3: he was calling the place. But they they the years 781 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 3: before that, the years before that, you know, they were 782 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 3: very predictable based off of personnel. You know, they have 783 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 3: Sony Michelle in the backfield with James Devlin and the 784 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 3: power eye, and like seventy percent of the time that 785 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 3: was a run and the other and I heard a 786 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 3: lot of criticism for Josh McDaniels with regard to exactly. 787 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 5: What right, And then the other thirty percent was play 788 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 5: action off of the run. So you knew that you 789 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 5: were getting into that sort of game where they're going 790 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 5: to be under center, it's going to be their power run, 791 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 5: or it's going to be play action off the power action, 792 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 5: And that was just a that it was going to go. 793 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 5: And then last year they ditched a full back, they 794 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 5: become a little bit more unpredictable in theory, it just 795 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 5: didn't work out that way because of how the sequencing 796 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 5: of the plays went about. But I think maybe with 797 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 5: Bill O'Brien that they were able to mask it a 798 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 5: little bit more. But I also think that statistically their 799 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 5: early down offense was really good because they did run 800 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 5: the ball well and then the play action was effective 801 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 5: because they married it up and they had the whole 802 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 5: thing going. So I don't know how much that predictability 803 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 5: necessarily really hurt them in those offenses because they were 804 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 5: so a productive off of play action because of how 805 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 5: good they were running the football behind James Devlin. 806 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 3: So I don't know. I just wonder if if it's 807 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 3: a little bit of something that you're trading off because 808 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 3: James White was just so effective as a passer, and 809 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: those guys that we have all can catch, but are 810 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 3: any of them really moving the needle like you know, 811 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 3: like like James White did as a receipt I something 812 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 3: to be accounted. I do think Montgomery has the potential 813 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 3: to be like more like White than the other guys 814 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 3: because of his background as a receiver. I think he's 815 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 3: a better route runner because I understand what you're saying, 816 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 3: Mike It there's one thing, like I think romondre Stevenson 817 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 3: has every bit uh effective catching the ball as James 818 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 3: White is like soft hands ability to actually physically catch 819 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 3: the ball. But I think setting up linebackers and you know, 820 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 3: reading the zones and doing those kinds of things, I 821 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 3: think James White was was special in that regard. He 822 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 3: didn't do it because he was so much faster than 823 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 3: everybody or you know, obviously not bigger and stronger than everybody, 824 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 3: but he understood how to set linebackers up, find those 825 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 3: matchups out in space. And I don't think Stevenson o'harris 826 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 3: last year, Damian Harris now were as effective like that 827 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 3: as as James White was, but they could catch the ball, 828 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 3: you think, like just it never looked like that, like 829 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 3: some of those like wheel routes. 830 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 6: Remember from James White up the sideline where Mac hit. 831 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 3: Him, you know, just streaking. I mean those aren't really 832 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 3: Remondre's kind of plays. I'm not going to hit Romond 833 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 3: downfield so much. But I don't know, just something something 834 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 3: to wonder. And I do think Montgomery could be like that. 835 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 3: We didn't get a chance to see it, and so 836 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 3: everybody wanted to make peer strong that per Strong didn't 837 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 3: really do a ton of that in college. No, And 838 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 3: I wrote his profile last year and talked to his 839 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 3: coaches about it, and he actually the coach actually put 840 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 3: it on himself. It's like, you know, we probably should 841 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 3: have dialed up more, but we didn't want him to 842 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 3: be one of these guys that was getting all of 843 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 3: these touches and getting worn down that way. But I 844 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 3: think that everybody looked and said, he's not the biggest guy. 845 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 3: He can fly, Oh, he's got to be a third 846 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 3: down back when he really didn't have that in his 847 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 3: on his resume coming in. 848 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was one hundred percent of projection with him 849 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 5: coming in, and I think a lot of the people 850 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 5: he talked to because of the skill set just assumed 851 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 5: that that's that was the goal with him, was to 852 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 5: be third down back. And I still think he could 853 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 5: do it, but learn it though. Yeah, Like the big 854 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 5: thing for me is with the third down back is 855 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 5: literally third like third and four, and you can't always 856 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 5: throw the ball down the field, Like if you can 857 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 5: get somebody matched up underneath on a linebacker, you can 858 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 5: sit down between a zone or something like that that 859 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 5: keeps you on schedule, that moves the chains. And I 860 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 5: think when you don't have a mobile quarterback that can 861 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 5: pick up third and four by scrambling, you kind of 862 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 5: have to have that safety valve or that outlet, you 863 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 5: know when Mac gets under duress or gets pressured, you know, 864 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 5: blitzes or whatever, that it's just to dump off to 865 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 5: the running back and you can get five yards on 866 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 5: third and four and you're moving the chains and you 867 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 5: get a new set of downs. They missed that last year. 868 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 5: I think they had it early with Stevenson. It felt 869 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 5: like he was able to do it until he started 870 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 5: to wear down a little bit. But I think that 871 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 5: they missed that just security blanket. Just dump it in 872 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 5: the flat on third and three and makes a guy 873 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 5: miss and all you know, we're still moving the chains, 874 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 5: even though the pass is a shorter pass and theory. 875 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 6: It is just kind of interesting the things that they're missing, 876 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 6: and by choice. But they don't have a full back anymore. 877 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 6: They don't really have a blocking tight end anymore. They 878 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 6: don't really have a traditional water bug slot receiver kind 879 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 6: of guy, you know, like it's just a lot of 880 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 6: the thing third down back, like a lot of those things. 881 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 3: You just you could go back through all of that. 882 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 3: That's good, Paul. You could go back through. 883 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 6: History and you can kind of name what guy that 884 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 6: was in almost every different version of the Patriots offense 885 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 6: that you saw over the last twenty years. And right 886 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 6: now they don't really have those pieces. I don't know, 887 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 6: it's just interesting. We'll see where Bill O'Brien takes it. 888 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 6: But phones are stacking up. 889 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 3: And one more thing, I wanted to add a third 890 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 3: down back just I think a lot of people like 891 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 3: they hear us say, you know, one of the things 892 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 3: that they're down back really has to excel in is 893 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 3: the blitz protection, right, you know, the blitz pick up. 894 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 3: And it's not so much. I mean, it's a big 895 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 3: part of it physical obviously, but I think most guys 896 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 3: can stick their nose in, get in the way enough 897 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 3: to give the quarterback enough time. 898 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 9: You know. 899 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 3: Certainly guy like Tom Brady, like he didn't have to 900 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 3: want to, you didn't have to take him out. But 901 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 3: to me, it's more understanding when, when and where the 902 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 3: pressure's coming from and the experience that I think it 903 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 3: takes to sort of pick up on that, you know, 904 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 3: the subtleties of the games that they play and not 905 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: getting fooled. Yeah, you know, sure, and I think that 906 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 3: that stuff that probably we saw it would be bigger 907 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 3: obstacles for a guy like Peter Strong than the physical 908 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 3: act of getting out. It's tough converting a third and four, 909 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 3: as Evan said. 910 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 5: Right, especially in the old blocking system. I don't know 911 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 5: what it's going to look like now with Bill O'Brien, 912 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 5: but a lot of the times those running backs would 913 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 5: have dual reads, so they'd be reading too, you know, Okay, 914 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 5: we're four over three. 915 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 3: On this side. If this guy comes and I have 916 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 3: this guy. 917 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 5: But if this guy comes, then I have to take 918 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 5: the nearest threat to the quarterbacks, so I actually have 919 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 5: that guy, and you have to make those determinations post snap. 920 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 5: And then they also have full, full scans, right, So 921 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 5: you might be put in blitz pick up and all 922 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,359 Speaker 5: you're looking for is that second or third level guy 923 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 5: that is coming that you're not expecting. So it's not 924 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 5: a pressure look. But they send a late, delayed blitz 925 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,240 Speaker 5: up the middle, and now you're responsible for going tackle 926 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 5: to tackle and scanning through the entire line of scrimmage 927 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 5: to find the guy that you're supposed to block. So 928 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 5: those are the reasons why a lot of those guys 929 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 5: red shirt and don't get on the field early on 930 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 5: is because of that. And it's it's a difficult way 931 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 5: about doing things. I don't know how they did it 932 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 5: last year, to be honest with you, but that's how 933 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 5: they've done it. 934 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 3: I used to say it all the time, like if 935 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 3: you go back, everybody says, well, that's why they do it. 936 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 3: In Foxborough. You are running back and you sit out 937 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 3: a year, and I say, that's not necessarily the case. 938 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 3: If that's the kind of running back that they project 939 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 3: you as, you're probably going to have a red shirt year. 940 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 3: If you're going to be James White, Shane Verreen type guy, 941 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 3: they're probably going to indoctrinate you a little bit slower 942 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 3: if you're a guy that they project as like a 943 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 3: true bell carrier. I've seen many guys come in and 944 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 3: step in right away and it get significant carries as 945 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 3: a rookie. Ridley r. Maroney. Yeah, Ridley and Maroney did it. 946 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 3: I mean they didn't necessarily have to be the guy, 947 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 3: but they they will allow you to carry the ball 948 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 3: because I think it's pretty obvious. It's that's more of 949 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 3: an instinctive position where you come in, you get the ball, 950 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 3: you avoid the guys trying to tackle you. 951 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 11: Right. 952 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 3: That was like James. That was like James Robinson today, 953 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 3: Like what do you think your game is? Like, I 954 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 3: don't know, get the ball, play football. Yeah. I think 955 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 3: it's interesting too with the like even Ben Jarvis greenellens 956 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 3: off the practice squad and I think he ended up 957 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 3: getting a thousand Johns. 958 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 959 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 5: Those those guys back then though, had the full back 960 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 5: and and I do find that it is interesting. And 961 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 5: I remember Remandre talking about last year that he actually 962 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 5: prefers to run without a full back because he's so 963 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 5: instinctive and he has that feel between the tackles to 964 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 5: just kind of, you know, like Le'Veon Bell used to 965 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 5: just kind of waited out and then pick the right spots. 966 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 5: But for a rookie coming in when they when they 967 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 5: were just like just follow James Devlin like he's going 968 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 5: to hit the hole and you're going to find the 969 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 5: hole through him. 970 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 3: He left out the most obvious, most recent sony Michelle 971 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 3: right right. It was like a huge part of your 972 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 3: offense found the stretch and in the playoffs as a 973 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 3: rookie and it was just running the ball. 974 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 5: Follow again behind you, follow the battering ram. Now you 975 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 5: have to there is a little bit more of a 976 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 5: read involved, right, that's correct, There is a little bit 977 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 5: more of a read involved now without a full back, 978 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 5: because you have a little bit more, say as a 979 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 5: running back about where exactly you run lead iso at 980 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 5: the full back, you're hitting one spot. 981 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,479 Speaker 3: Right, all right, let's you can go back to the phones. 982 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 3: I'm gonna jump.

Yeah, I mean, 1003 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 3: I mean, what week it is? 1004 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 6: Well, I would say to that, like, I mean, I 1005 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 6: just I think there's something interesting in that the Eagles 1006 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 6: are getting a lot of love right now. They're kind 1007 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 6: of the darlings that the Patriots were at one time, 1008 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 6: and you know, everyone loves their drafts and what they've 1009 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 6: done and for good reason. And they just paid Jalen 1010 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,839 Speaker 6: Hurts and they seem like, you know, the team that's 1011 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 6: not quite Kansas City yet but is right there with him. 1012 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 6: So I think it's it's just no matter when they play. 1013 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 6: I think it's an interesting, you know, kind of old guard, 1014 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 6: new guard kind of game. 1015 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 3: I wish it was a different game. It's a measuring 1016 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 3: stick game because that's that's one of the best teams 1017 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 3: in football. If you want to say that there were 1018 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 3: one hit wonder, maybe they won't be as good as 1019 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 3: they were last year. Maybe I'm not banking. I'm not 1020 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 3: banking on that. I think what you've seen with Philadelphia 1021 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 3: over the last couple of years was Jalen Hurts sort 1022 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 3: of getting the job definitively and they went nine and eight, 1023 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 3: squeaked into the playoffs and were very competitive in Tampa 1024 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 3: in that playoff game. And then the next year they 1025 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,320 Speaker 3: picked up aj Brown and went to another level along 1026 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 3: with picking up some defensive pieces on short term contract 1027 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 3: like guys like Hassan Reddick, James Bradbury. If they added 1028 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 3: to a defense that was already talented and now I 1029 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 3: think they want they're one of the best teams in football. 1030 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 3: It's a bad matchup out of the game. 1031 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, it just is like that offense, the quack quarterback 1032 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 5: r PO college style offense is really what it is. 1033 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 5: And then defensively, you just mentioned the bookend to edge 1034 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 5: rusher's like Riley Reefs Hassan Reddick right out of the gate, 1035 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 5: Like that's gonna be throwing some people directly into the fire. 1036 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 5: If the Patriots win that game, I would be elated, like, Wow, 1037 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,279 Speaker 5: you came out of the gate and you won that. 1038 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 5: That's that's a statement. 1039 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 3: It's already has them under five hundred. 1040 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's but on paper, like, that's just 1041 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 5: a terrible matchup, Like regardless of when the game was playing, 1042 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 5: whether it was Week one or week sixteen, just on paper, 1043 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 5: that's a horrible, horrible matchup. And I think that at 1044 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 5: least later on in the year. And I hate to 1045 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 5: do this, but like maybe somebody gets hurt in Philly, 1046 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 5: you know, I don't wish that upon anyone, but maybe, 1047 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 5: like you, later on in the year, you get lucky 1048 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 5: and like AJ Brown is dinged up and he's and 1049 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 5: he's not one hundred percent or something, but out of 1050 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 5: the gate, you're not gonna get You're not gonna get that. 1051 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 5: So I don't Yeah, that's what it is. 1052 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 3: I don't think it. 1053 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 13: And Mike, it's just just two more things.

When he drafted that bomb? 1074 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 13: Are you serious? He spent more his time on ir 1075 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 13: than playing than playing in the game. 1076 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 9: Are you serious? 1077 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm saying.

He said, look it. 1081 00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 3: Because Tom scouted to kill Harry and knew that he 1082 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 3: wasn't a good player. 1083 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 5: They missed on the pic. No one's denying that, no 1084 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 5: one's disagreeing. But the idea of drafting a receiver in 1085 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 5: the first round was to give Tom Brady help. 1086 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 3: It didn't. They picked the wrong guy. I don't know, 1087 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 3: what do you? What are we arguing about? And they 1088 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 3: picked the wrong guy on purpose because they hated Braid? 1089 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 13: Are you the same Evan that was going off not 1090 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 13: too long ago time out? 1091 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 10: Oh? 1092 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 11: They took a guard and was going off. 1093 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 13: Remember that. 1094 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 3: What are we arguing about right now? He wasn't a 1095 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:28,240 Speaker 3: good player. 1096 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 9: What are we arguing about? 1097 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even know, but it sounded good. He 1098 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 3: always brings the passion. 1099 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 4: I appreciate you. 1100 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,359 Speaker 3: Than I know I did. I never said to Kila 1101 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,719 Speaker 3: is a good player? I know you just said that 1102 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 3: it was the idea was It was clear that they 1103 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 3: had an idea of improving the offense, and just everything 1104 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 3: they did didn't work right. Like they deserve criticism for 1105 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 3: picking the wrong guys. 1106 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1107 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely, could you feel the hill turn on that one? 1108 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,479 Speaker 3: On that calle age he was talking about his phone 1109 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, he's like. 1110 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 8: And Evan and they were just like you were my boy. 1111 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 5: I'm not allowed to say that they that they tried 1112 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 5: by drafting to kill Harry but just can't. Even if 1113 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 5: it's not negative involving that guy, then it's just killed. 1114 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,440 Speaker 3: Let's head down to North Cakilaki, see what Todd has 1115 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 3: to say. Hey Todd, how guys? 1116 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 9: I want you guys to get on Deuce now, since 1117 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 9: we've already talked Evan. Deuce was on another show and 1118 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 9: he was like Debbie Downer, you know, he was god. 1119 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 12: He was that different than usually made heart sound like 1120 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 12: the positive. 1121 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 3: Heart was all over me about my my negativity. But 1122 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 3: I didn't believe you were bad. 1123 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 9: I didn't even know what you say. 1124 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 12: I thought it was like Eric Skeal. 1125 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 3: Said they were going to go nine to eight. I 1126 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 3: mean that's optimistic. 1127 00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,800 Speaker 9: Building on that, That's going to be my question. What 1128 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 9: do you think the record will be this year? And 1129 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 9: give me one positive thing that's going to lead to 1130 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 9: it and maybe one thing that's going to hold them back, 1131 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 9: and that's that's all I'm gonna watch. I don't want 1132 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 9: too much negativity, Duck. 1133 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 3: I don't like doing records either, but I think that 1134 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 3: there'll be similar in record as they were last year. 1135 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 3: And the reason for my optimism is Bill O'Brien, right, 1136 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 3: My reason for negativity is an overall lack of weaponry 1137 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 3: and explosiveness on offense. Yep, it's a fair point. I 1138 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 3: agree that is that general and broad enough. 1139 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 5: Their schedule what one of the hardest of the league. 1140 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 5: It's one of the hardest in the league. Whether you 1141 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 5: look at Vegas you know, win totals or like advanced 1142 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 5: metrics or whatever. They have a top five hardest schedule 1143 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 5: in the league by pretty much every measure. 1144 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 3: And I think that when we look at what the 1145 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 3: Patriots have done, and I do think that I'm encouraged 1146 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 3: by the draft because I think they got, especially at 1147 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 3: the top of the draft, guys that can help right 1148 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 3: away at least I really really hope. So if they haven't, 1149 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 3: then we have we're having a different a different problem 1150 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 3: in a different conversation down the road. Okay, I think 1151 00:49:55,719 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 3: there's reasons to be encouraged by that, but that isn't 1152 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 3: necessarily well. People automatically looking they say, well, they won 1153 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 3: X one year and they added this, this and this, 1154 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 3: so they're gonna win X times three. And it doesn't 1155 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,239 Speaker 3: work that way because the other teams have done that too, 1156 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 3: change too, and you have to play some teams that 1157 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 3: you didn't have to play last year that are good 1158 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 3: that So in other words, maybe if you played the 1159 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 3: schedule that they're playing right now last year, with what 1160 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,359 Speaker 3: they had, maybe they would have been lucky to win 1161 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 3: five games. So now you've you're adding, well, they've added 1162 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 3: to that what they had last year, so instead of five, 1163 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 3: they win seven or eight. You know, that's you know, 1164 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 3: like it's impossible to go just year to year. And 1165 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 3: the other thing is what we were talking about with 1166 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 3: the schedule at the very beginning. Detroit is on the 1167 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 3: opener right because right now people were saying, huh, if 1168 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 3: I had to make a pick for NFC North Champ, 1169 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 3: I'd go with the Lions. I think I might do that. 1170 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 3: I might feel that way too. Sure, I ain't gonna 1171 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 3: be surprised if they're like six and eleven, No, no way. 1172 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's a the schedule, never know, because I'm 1173 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,399 Speaker 5: and I know this is hard to believe because I've 1174 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 5: been pretty negative at times about this team this offseason, 1175 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 5: but I'm actually cautiously optimistic that they're going to be 1176 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 5: better than people think. I just I like I think 1177 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 5: that angle of it, and from a mindset standpoint, I 1178 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 5: do think that that Bill still still thrives off of that, 1179 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 5: Like I think he can use that, and I think 1180 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,399 Speaker 5: he can thrive off of that. And I keep going 1181 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 5: back to the fact that they won eight games with 1182 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 5: everything that we now know that was going on on offense, 1183 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 5: and they still clawed their way to eight wins. So 1184 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 5: with Bill O'Brien, it should be better if the schedule 1185 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,360 Speaker 5: was easier than I would predict a lot more wins 1186 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 5: than I think some people would, like I'd say they 1187 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 5: could win ten or eleven games, yeah, but the schedule 1188 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 5: isn't so. 1189 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I would, I would look at last year, right, 1190 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 3: just specifically last year, I think that they probably would 1191 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 3: have won the Raiders game if Bill O'Bryan was the 1192 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 3: coordinator because I don't think they would have been behind 1193 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 3: seventeen to three in the first place, right, you know, 1194 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 3: to have to make the comeback that they did, you 1195 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 3: know before ultimately losing the game. I think that's an 1196 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 3: example of how it could be better. But it doesn't 1197 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 3: work that way because you don't know what the Raiders 1198 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 3: are this year, and you don't know what you know. 1199 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 3: How that's all gonna unfold you. You were studiously looking 1200 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 3: at your phone. Well, I wanted to bring up the 1201 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 3: Mike Gardi tweet from a few days ago, which we 1202 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,840 Speaker 3: didn't talk about it. I just thought it was interesting. 1203 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 3: Bill O'Brien's impact already being felt in Foxborough talked to 1204 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 3: a source who said the receiving group, for whatever reasons, 1205 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 3: last year coaching talent attitude. There were a lot of 1206 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 3: bad plays on tape this year that won't be tolerated. 1207 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,400 Speaker 3: To do it right or you'll be standing next to 1208 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,800 Speaker 3: him watching. I just thought that was interesting for a 1209 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 3: you differently understand if you no, I know, And that's 1210 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 3: what I mean. 1211 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 6: There are some things in like I mean, I think 1212 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 6: the thing on tape which we talked about last year 1213 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 6: during the show where it was just like, you know, 1214 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 6: I mean, evn't talked the spacing being completely off, you know, 1215 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 6: not knowing where you're going. I mean, all those things, 1216 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 6: and you know we can talk about which guys were 1217 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 6: you know, we're kind of the prime suspects. 1218 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,800 Speaker 3: With that stuff consistently. But I don't know, I just 1219 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 3: it was less the content of it that interest did me, Paul, 1220 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 3: and more just like this is the message we're getting 1221 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 3: out right now that that stuff won't be tolerated this year, 1222 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,800 Speaker 3: you know, and which not imprising with Bill O'Brien, but 1223 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 3: I just thought my thing is, I don't think it 1224 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 3: was tolerated last year. I think that when we were 1225 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 3: sitting here on various postgame shows wondering, where's Kendrick Bourne, 1226 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 3: Where's you know, where's Devonte Parker this week? Why does 1227 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 3: DeVante Parker have one hundred yards this week and then 1228 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,320 Speaker 3: the next three weeks combined he has thirty? Right, I 1229 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 3: think they weren't tolerated last year. And unless you're telling 1230 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 3: me that the biggest culprits of not doing what they 1231 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 3: were supposed to do were Jacoby Myers and John Smith 1232 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,320 Speaker 3: and they've been replaced with guys that will do what 1233 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,919 Speaker 3: they're supposed to do. I don't really know how that works. 1234 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think last year the biggest thing, and 1235 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 5: we talked a lot about the spacing and things like that. 1236 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,239 Speaker 5: I think the problem with that stuff was that it 1237 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,440 Speaker 5: just never seemed to get corrected because it never got 1238 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 5: better on film, Like so if it was okay, we 1239 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 5: had these issues in week six, but then by week 1240 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,480 Speaker 5: twelve we were better at it, then it's like, okay, well, 1241 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 5: then proper corrections in the proper coaching points are being 1242 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 5: put through the players, but it just never they never 1243 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:07,399 Speaker 5: got it down. 1244 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,319 Speaker 3: And I think the biggest thing is when you look 1245 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 3: at offense, that's a good point and I will fix. Yeah. 1246 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 5: I think offense is like this, especially when you tell 1247 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 5: a player that you're running a five yard out. It 1248 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 5: being a five yard out matters. It being a six 1249 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 5: yard out is not what we have in the playbook. 1250 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,719 Speaker 5: The playbook says it needs to be a five yard out, 1251 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,840 Speaker 5: and that those types of things. I go back to 1252 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,799 Speaker 5: what Logan Ryan said the other day about about Bill 1253 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 5: and that he had that ability to look around the 1254 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 5: field and know what everybody you did wrong or right 1255 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 5: on a play and correct. 1256 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 3: Unles you're asking about it in the post game, Yeah. 1257 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,360 Speaker 5: Correct eight, ten, twelve guys maybe on one play on 1258 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 5: both sides of the football, and those that type of 1259 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 5: ability to see it live and in real time is 1260 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 5: so valuable that I think a guy like Bill O'Brien 1261 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 5: can do that because he coaches offense and he knows 1262 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 5: offense inside and out. So when they're out on the 1263 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 5: practice field and you know, someone runs a four step 1264 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,719 Speaker 5: slant instead of a three step slant, he's going to say, hey, 1265 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 5: so this is supposed to be in three right, Like 1266 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 5: you're supposed to break on three steps here, And the 1267 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 5: reason is because when you didn't break in three steps, well, 1268 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 5: now this guy's route is now hugging into your route, 1269 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 5: which is now bringing this defender into your pathway. And 1270 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 5: that's how those kind of domino effects happen. So I'm 1271 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,839 Speaker 5: hopeful that those little details are going to get cleaned up. 1272 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 5: He's not going to make these players exceptionally more athletic 1273 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 5: or faster, or it's more explosive, but if they can 1274 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,399 Speaker 5: be better at those little details like how many times 1275 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 5: last year did it feel like it was third and 1276 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 5: seven and then they ran a five yard pattern and 1277 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 5: you're just like, that's what how do you use? 1278 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 3: That's what I meant, like, I didn't really understand the 1279 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,240 Speaker 3: way the tweet was worded, because I agree with Evan 1280 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 3: in this regard that Bill O'Brien will set up an 1281 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 3: offense and he'll structure it in a manner that makes 1282 00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 3: much more sense. We've I've already seen it. It's not 1283 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,320 Speaker 3: like something and we have to sort of project. I 1284 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 3: saw him here. I know he can set up an offense, 1285 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 3: so and I didn't have that confidence with the guys 1286 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 3: that were doing it last year, fairly or unfairly. I 1287 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 3: didn't think Matt Patricier and Joe Judge were equipped to 1288 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 3: do those sort of adjustments. But in terms of like 1289 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 3: accountability and they they'd never fixed it. But I think 1290 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 3: they never fixed the structure of the offense. They never 1291 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 3: fixed the system itself. It wasn't because of guys doing 1292 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 3: the same things over and over again and just continuing 1293 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,359 Speaker 3: to play. Otherwise we wouldn't have spent so much time 1294 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 3: wondering where specifically Kendrick Bourne was. And my contention all 1295 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 3: year was Kendrick Bourne doesn't play more because at least 1296 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 3: once a game when he plays significant snaps, I noticed 1297 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,160 Speaker 3: him doing something blatantly wrong, whether it's lining up in 1298 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 3: the wrong spot, moving when he shouldn't move, or knocking 1299 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 3: John hus Smith over on across with people, you know, 1300 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 3: I saw him do something wrong on a consistent basis. 1301 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 3: He kept not playing right. Then he would go back 1302 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 3: and play and make a mistake. Then he wouldn't play 1303 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,839 Speaker 3: and people would say where is he He's Jerry Rice, 1304 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 3: you know, why why are we losing this you know, 1305 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 3: dangerous weapon? To me, that was why he wasn't consistently playing. Yeah, 1306 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 3: I just remember there was I can't remember. It was 1307 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 3: late in the season. 1308 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 5: I can't remember the exact game, but they ran a 1309 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,720 Speaker 5: route combination to the right side where one guy ran 1310 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 5: an under and one guy ran and out and they 1311 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 5: just ran right into each other. And I was like, 1312 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 5: there's no way that when they put that play on 1313 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 5: the whiteboard that that's the way that it looks. So 1314 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 5: either somebody had the wrong play or the wrong route, 1315 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 5: you know, in that sequence of play, or there there 1316 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,640 Speaker 5: had to have been some sort of a disconnect and 1317 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 5: it wasn't when they put it out on the whiteboard. 1318 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 5: They drew up a play where two guys were gonna 1319 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 5: collide like that. 1320 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 3: I would put Thornton in there too, Like there were 1321 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 3: times where he's like coming across maybe in his zone, 1322 00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 3: and the throw was a little bit and it looks like, oh, 1323 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,240 Speaker 3: that's a terrible throw by back and surprise here. I 1324 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 3: don't always think that was the case. I think that 1325 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 3: there were times where he was expecting him to sit 1326 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 3: in the zone or stop his route or you know, 1327 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 3: he had that problem and he would just keep going. 1328 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 3: He would drift and get himself in trouble, and it 1329 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 3: just didn't it didn't look right. Yeah, there a lot 1330 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 3: of stuff in between the hashes with th Whart, and 1331 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 3: I thought last year it didn't look like that's the 1332 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 3: way it's drawn up. 1333 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 5: I wonder in like college, like, I don't know how 1334 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 5: much sitting in zone versus running away and man is 1335 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 5: like how much they are I'm. 1336 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 3: Talking about that and you know me, like I'm throwing 1337 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 3: terms out, like I don't know if that was well, 1338 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 3: it just didn't look right now. No, you're one hundred 1339 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:31,440 Speaker 3: percent right. 1340 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 5: I felt the same way, and I I that's the 1341 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 5: old the old cliche is you sit in zone and 1342 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 5: you run away from man, like that's that's the way 1343 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 5: that it's done. 1344 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 3: And and you're coming over the middle. 1345 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 5: You gotta find those soft spots and you gotta you know, 1346 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,919 Speaker 5: know the distribution of the zones underneath and figure out, Okay, 1347 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 5: this is where I can sit running a shallow crosser 1348 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 5: across the middle of the field. When there's three zone 1349 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 5: guys sitting right, you're just asking for your head to 1350 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 5: get taken off. 1351 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 3: But Mike, we can all agree that the setup of 1352 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 3: the offense and the organization of the offense will be 1353 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:06,040 Speaker 3: much improved. I like that postivity from Paul. I love Billy. 1354 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,160 Speaker 3: Let's grab one of these calls here across the pond, Jordan, 1355 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 3: thank you for holding on. How are you? 1356 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 12: Yeah good? 1357 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 3: Jens, how are you good good? 1358 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 12: You just propped on the kind of the coaching side 1359 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 12: of it. On offense, you think it's the owners of meetings. 1360 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 12: Belichick said stuff about special teams about how he didn't 1361 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 12: think coaching was the problem. You know, we were number 1362 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 12: one in special teams two years ago, but so you know, 1363 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 12: how can that be the problem last year for while 1364 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:34,960 Speaker 12: they were so bad? 1365 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 13: Which doesn't make sense to me. 1366 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 12: But in terms of look at me as if he's 1367 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 12: blaming the players for last year's performance. He's changed kicker punk, 1368 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,919 Speaker 12: we signed a special teams guy and free agency as well. 1369 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:51,600 Speaker 12: But on offense, we've changed the coordinator and the players 1370 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 12: are basically the same. 1371 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 13: How do you guys see how. 1372 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,120 Speaker 12: Belichick thinks about the blame from last year players was 1373 00:59:59,160 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 12: his coaching? 1374 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:00,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, thank short. 1375 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,760 Speaker 6: And I don't know if you guys want to jump 1376 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 6: on it, but I mean I mean, I do think 1377 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 6: that he I mean, look, Patricia's gone, Joe Judge is 1378 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 6: supposedly helping out with the special team. So I don't 1379 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 6: think it's entirely just like we're just going to let 1380 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 6: the coaching stay the same. I don't know how much 1381 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 6: of an impact you know, that that actually has, but 1382 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 6: you know, and I do think we were talking about 1383 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 6: on the show on Tuesday that they've added a lot 1384 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 6: of special teams tight players in the draft and in 1385 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 6: free agency, so. 1386 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 3: They've also retained a lot of them. Yeah, I mean, 1387 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 3: so it's a big mush of you know, guys like 1388 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:35,919 Speaker 3: Slater and Cody Davis, but you know, also bringing in macmcmillan, 1389 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,959 Speaker 3: bringing back Chris then signing Chris Board, like Chris Board 1390 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 3: really was the only free agent addition in that regard. 1391 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 3: Everybody else was retained. And I do think that he 1392 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 3: thinks that it was more players than coach on special teams. 1393 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 3: I for sure, Cardona and now like it again, and 1394 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 3: I've said this many times, just so I don't get 1395 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,479 Speaker 3: a blod back in my face. I do not count 1396 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 3: specialists with special teams like Nick Folk and Jake Bailey 1397 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 3: weren't responsible for allowing three touchdowns. Like I understand the 1398 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 3: kickoff itself, and that was circumstantial because your kickoff guy 1399 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 3: was unavailable, he wasn't on the field, he wasn't actively 1400 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 3: on the field the last whatever many games, six eight games. 1401 01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 3: So someone's going to kick off into the end zone 1402 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 3: this year. That's so that's different. I'm talking about the 1403 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 3: guys actually covering, the guys running into the punter, the 1404 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 3: guys you know, allowing you know, get they're all they're 1405 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,120 Speaker 3: all going to be largely the same guys that are 1406 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 3: that are doing those roles. Hopefully a mere speed or 1407 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 3: with Bolden's first night, Okay, hopefully some of these guys, 1408 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:50,160 Speaker 3: can you know, Marte Mapu, he pushes Mac Wilson off 1409 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 3: the roster, That to me would be a positive development. 1410 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 3: But we'll see. Yeah. 1411 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 5: I do definitely agree with the caller though that they 1412 01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 5: they feel that Special Teams was personnel largely driven by 1413 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:06,000 Speaker 5: by personnel issues and not coaching. And I we've observed 1414 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 5: Cam Accord and obviously I've talked to him. I think 1415 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 5: he's a good coach, and I think with Special Teams 1416 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 5: you really need to understand the nuances because it's a 1417 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 5: very unique thing, like I gotta admit, like it's a 1418 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 5: blind spot for me, Like I don't understand the difference 1419 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 5: between L three and L four, Like I couldn't tell you, 1420 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,080 Speaker 5: but I could tell you the difference between this route 1421 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,160 Speaker 5: that route, and you know this coverage that coverage. It's 1422 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,320 Speaker 5: it's a it's its own world. And I do think 1423 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,680 Speaker 5: that cam Accord has the knowledge, and I think that 1424 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 5: he's a good teacher because he teaches us, like we 1425 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 5: asked questions because we're dumb, so we we literally ask 1426 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 5: him questions and we're like, hey, like teach us, like 1427 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,440 Speaker 5: what is the difference between this and this? And he 1428 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,960 Speaker 5: he'll sit there and give great explanations to the media. 1429 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 5: So I'm sure that he gives great explanations to the players. 1430 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 5: I think last year, for some reason, that it carried 1431 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 5: over from offense to other phases. To be honest with you, 1432 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 5: that attention to detail just wasn't there. 1433 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 3: I feel like Bill in general, and this is unfair 1434 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 3: because I don't know for sure how he feels. I 1435 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 3: think Bill in general thinks all problems are more personnel 1436 01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 3: related and execution related. It's not necessarily like we had 1437 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 3: this bad game plan and we didn't have a good play, 1438 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 3: like right, go out and execute the play and it'll work. 1439 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 5: That's that's how he thinks for execution. Like I not 1440 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 5: to go on a Celtics ramp, but Missoula loves to 1441 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:23,520 Speaker 5: say that, loves to say. 1442 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 3: Except for when they have eighteen seconds left in the 1443 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,439 Speaker 3: game and it was great execution, except that they didn't 1444 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 3: get a shot right, right. 1445 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 5: Right, And you know he's sitting there saying, oh, yeah, 1446 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 5: you know, the execution in that situation could have been better. 1447 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:36,080 Speaker 5: And it's like for the Celtics, I look at it 1448 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,960 Speaker 5: and I say, Okay, talent on the floor, you probably 1449 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 5: have it, like you got to all NBA players, you 1450 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 5: got Marcus Smart's one dude like you probably, But with 1451 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,360 Speaker 5: this team and it sometimes it is talent, Like sometimes 1452 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 5: you got to look at it and realize that they're 1453 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 5: not out executing the other team because the other team 1454 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 5: has better players than you do. So I think a 1455 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 5: lot of those players got changed out in some spots. 1456 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like what keeps popping out to me 1457 01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:59,680 Speaker 3: is just you know, and it's these guys that I think, 1458 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:00,959 Speaker 3: you know, you're referring. 1459 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 6: To the Raleigh Webbs of the world. You know these 1460 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,880 Speaker 6: Brendan schooler. We didn't even mention him as you know. 1461 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,040 Speaker 3: So it's like all those guys. I just it's gonna 1462 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 3: be interesting how this all plays out here in camp 1463 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:12,520 Speaker 3: and then maybe we'll get a glimpse and in a 1464 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 3: couple of weeks of what the special and that's what Like, 1465 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 3: I think that those kinds of guys now map who 1466 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 3: obviously will be on the roster. Third round picks don't 1467 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 3: get cut unless they do something wrong. But the seventh 1468 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 3: round picks, they can. They earn jobs over you know, 1469 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,720 Speaker 3: four or five year veterans that have been largely just 1470 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:31,960 Speaker 3: playing on special teams. Yeah, I think that would be 1471 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 3: a good sign if if they're thought of that.

But hey, guys, 1716 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,880 Speaker 6: new listener, I always hear the references to Eric. Never 1717 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,120 Speaker 6: listened when he was on the show. Is there a 1718 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,280 Speaker 6: specific show that is must listen to to truly understand 1719 01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,439 Speaker 6: the references you all make to him. I feel like 1720 01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 6: I need even just a clip to truly appreciate what 1721 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 6: he brought or took away from the show, and he 1722 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,720 Speaker 6: would love the show and the entertaining perspective you all bring. 1723 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 6: I mean, I think that clip was pretty good, Paul, 1724 01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 6: but if there were some other Eric moments. But but 1725 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:11,599 Speaker 6: I mean every Joiners paint the picture. 1726 01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Eric, I mean obviously worked here for a long time. 1727 01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,519 Speaker 3: I would say Andy and I were much more into 1728 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 3: the Patriots in football in general, especially football because Eric 1729 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 3: was into the Patriots, but not like as passionately as 1730 01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,600 Speaker 3: we were in terms of the league itself. So that 1731 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 3: was for starters. He kind of carried himself as being 1732 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 3: above the fray intellectual. Yeah, I was trying to be nice. 1733 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 3: He in doing so, I think he opened himself up 1734 01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,320 Speaker 3: to a lot of those kinds of stories. Well, it's 1735 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,639 Speaker 3: funny it says criticisms. I was talking to Evan about 1736 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,160 Speaker 3: it too. It's like you kind of become a character 1737 01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,640 Speaker 3: on the show. And Eric certainly was a character, but 1738 01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 3: he was also you know, a great guy and you 1739 01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,000 Speaker 3: know all the things you pick on him for, but 1740 01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 3: he was He was the only favorite of the show 1741 01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:03,040 Speaker 3: that is really completely authentic is as soon as the 1742 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 3: show was over, Evan does actually just watch video just watches, 1743 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 3: take watches all twenty two all the time, and if 1744 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 3: he's not doing that, he's at a Bruins or Celtics 1745 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 3: playoff his dog. 1746 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 5: But the first, my first interaction with Eric back in 1747 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 5: eighteen when I first started UH, he was standing with 1748 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 5: Aaron Sulkin from PR, and so I thought he was 1749 01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 5: in PR. 1750 01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 3: I didn't know who he was, so I went up 1751 01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 3: to him. That's the perfect thing that would piss him, 1752 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 3: all right. 1753 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 5: So I went up to him and I asked him 1754 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,760 Speaker 5: if he had a roster. No, you did it, and 1755 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,200 Speaker 5: he mocked you, and he looked at me like he 1756 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 5: wanted to punch me in the face. 1757 01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 3: I can totally see. This is the first I've ever 1758 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,640 Speaker 3: heard of the story what happened? And he was like 1759 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,560 Speaker 3: it is Scully cap On and ask me or like 1760 01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,800 Speaker 3: something like that. And I was just like, oh, sorry, 1761 01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 3: Like I thought you were standing with whereas Andy or 1762 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:04,680 Speaker 3: Mike or myself, Like, yeah, I mean you have a 1763 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,519 Speaker 3: roster for for Forevan. 1764 01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:06,680 Speaker 7: No. 1765 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,559 Speaker 3: He looked at me like, I why would you assume 1766 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 3: I'm not in PR? I write long form features? 1767 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, and then so I remember I I walked away 1768 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,639 Speaker 5: from him, and I recognize because I realized I asked 1769 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 5: the wrong person, so I walked away from him staring 1770 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 5: at you. I asked somebody, Uh, hey, you know who's 1771 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 5: that Who's that guy over there? I've never met him before. 1772 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,120 Speaker 5: They were like, oh, that's Eric Scalvino, like he writes 1773 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 5: for Patriots dot Com. 1774 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:40,080 Speaker 3: And I was like, uh, like, pr my, apologize, mister Skelvino. 1775 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,240 Speaker 3: I just I just wanted to apologize for earlier. Idealy 1776 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 3: who you were? You there? 1777 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:45,760 Speaker 18: It is? 1778 01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's uh, let's go back to the phones here 1779 01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,799 Speaker 3: real quick before we dive into the email. Sean and Vancouver. 1780 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:51,600 Speaker 3: Hey Sean, how are you? 1781 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:52,880 Speaker 12: Hey? 1782 01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:57,479 Speaker 14: Guys, Mike, have a couple of things now, Paul. Earlier 1783 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:02,200 Speaker 14: you were talking about running back and how they might 1784 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,439 Speaker 14: not get on as much as a rookie because of 1785 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,400 Speaker 14: the responsibilities in the passing game, blocking schemes. I wonder 1786 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 14: if that extends to tackle. Now what we've mentioned that 1787 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,760 Speaker 14: they didn't draft a tackle because they're happy with who 1788 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:17,760 Speaker 14: they have in the room, And I wonder if it's 1789 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 14: also extends to the experience, like Rillery been in the 1790 01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 14: league for a long time, maybe he's going to be 1791 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 14: better at picking up those type of things. When it 1792 01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:32,320 Speaker 14: comes to protecting on passing plays. I don't know if 1793 01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,479 Speaker 14: that's their thinking, but that might be one thing. 1794 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1795 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:39,240 Speaker 3: I think in general Bill doesn't love giving really big 1796 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,480 Speaker 3: roles to rookies. I think he's been sort of reluctant 1797 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:47,280 Speaker 3: to do that periodically over a long period of time. 1798 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,759 Speaker 3: But I would say with tackle, yeah, I think ideally 1799 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,960 Speaker 3: you draft a tackle in the first round and he's 1800 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 3: your third tackle. Yeah, but I don't think that's why 1801 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:58,560 Speaker 3: they didn't take a tackle because he's not going to 1802 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 3: play anyway, because now you're just have the same problem 1803 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 3: next year. Yeah, if you don't want to play a 1804 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:03,960 Speaker 3: young tackle. 1805 01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 5: I do feel like tackle two to some degree, it's 1806 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:08,880 Speaker 5: just like you kind of blocked the guy across from you. 1807 01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's offensive line play. Yeah. 1808 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,360 Speaker 5: I mean there's obviously slide, no disrespect to my son. 1809 01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:16,640 Speaker 5: If they put two guys over you, you got to 1810 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 5: you know, sort that out and things like that. But 1811 01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,519 Speaker 5: for the most part, I think, you know, eighty percent 1812 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,080 Speaker 5: of the time, it's just like, if you're a left tackle, 1813 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,720 Speaker 5: the guys lining up over you, Matthew Judon's across from you, 1814 01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 5: you're blocking Matthew Judon, you. 1815 01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 3: Know, Yeah, and I do think, Sean, I do think 1816 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,360 Speaker 3: that Bill probably looks at that and says, that's that's 1817 01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 3: asking a lot of a young rookie tackle to step 1818 01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:39,560 Speaker 3: in week one and just perform. But he's done that. 1819 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,599 Speaker 3: Matt Light Matt like, I was just gonna bring him 1820 01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 3: right out of the right out of the shoot in 1821 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,280 Speaker 3: two thousand and one as a second round rookie and 1822 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,360 Speaker 3: obviously perform well. And Soldier ended up having to play. 1823 01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,200 Speaker 3: I think the idea going into that year was for 1824 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,680 Speaker 3: him to sit and be the third tackle, but then 1825 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,320 Speaker 3: Volmer got hurt and he had to start really the 1826 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:03,679 Speaker 3: bulk of the season. I just feel like, in general, 1827 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,360 Speaker 3: Bill would rather not have to rely on rookies. I 1828 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 3: think he's a big experience guy. 1829 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:09,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1830 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:10,680 Speaker 9: That. 1831 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,080 Speaker 14: My other thing has to do with the draft. It's 1832 01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:19,560 Speaker 14: a weird kind of observation, but there were basically seventeen 1833 01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,600 Speaker 14: players invited to the draft party, and we saw, you know, 1834 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:25,200 Speaker 14: for nine players seventeen. 1835 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,360 Speaker 3: Can I just interrupt you for one second, Sean, because 1836 01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,320 Speaker 3: a lot of people have said that there was seventeen 1837 01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 3: people that went to the draft party. 1838 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:35,839 Speaker 14: Right, more invited? 1839 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 17: Right? 1840 01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:39,800 Speaker 3: There was countless more invited. There was seventeen that said yes, 1841 01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:42,560 Speaker 3: I don't want to make it out to be. In 1842 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,680 Speaker 3: other words, that Keon White, who I just had a 1843 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,560 Speaker 3: really good conversation with his coach, was one of the 1844 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,519 Speaker 3: seventeen people that they chose to go. No, there was 1845 01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,080 Speaker 3: like a lot of people and most people said no, 1846 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 3: they didn't want to go get to that. 1847 01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:00,320 Speaker 14: So there was the first nine that showed up. They 1848 01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,240 Speaker 14: all hugged Goodell, right, and then you had a few 1849 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:04,880 Speaker 14: you know who didn't show up, And then you had 1850 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,760 Speaker 14: when it came to seventeen, you had Gonzales come up 1851 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:10,439 Speaker 14: and there. 1852 01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:10,880 Speaker 3: Was no hug. 1853 01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 14: It was just a handshake, and then good couple after 1854 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 14: that they were hugged again. So is there is there 1855 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,519 Speaker 14: something going on with that? Like the Patriots don't get 1856 01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 14: along with Goodell obviously, but this Patriots famous. 1857 01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 3: No, No, I don't think they called like we just 1858 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:29,960 Speaker 3: drafted you and you better on hug Goodell. 1859 01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:30,040 Speaker 9: No. 1860 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 5: I don't think Christian Gonzalez from the five minutes that 1861 01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 5: we got to sit with them, doesn't seem like a 1862 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 5: hugger to me. 1863 01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 3: No, it doesn't seem I wouldn't read anything into it 1864 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 3: at all. But I can tell you that the Patriots. 1865 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,639 Speaker 3: Both Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft have a very strong 1866 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,640 Speaker 3: relationship with Roger Goodell. I know that probably upsets some 1867 01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:52,760 Speaker 3: element of Patriots fans, but it's it's it's true. It's 1868 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 3: they get along very very well. Thanks Sean. 1869 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:57,880 Speaker 14: Okay, all right, that's. 1870 01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:57,720 Speaker 3: All you got. 1871 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,080 Speaker 5: All right, that's those are some good details, though I 1872 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,719 Speaker 5: would not I do not watch who see who hugs 1873 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 5: it and shakes and who lifts him off the ground. 1874 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 10: I know that. 1875 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:08,760 Speaker 3: And you know, Mike, you had said before we went 1876 01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,960 Speaker 3: to that break that you had talked to Zay Bolden 1877 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 3: coach Taylor. Coach t C. Taylor, who I do remember, Yeah, 1878 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,439 Speaker 3: was here as a undrafted rookie one hundred years ago 1879 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,519 Speaker 3: and two thousand and two you said you had a 1880 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 3: good conversation with Yeah, it was fun. 1881 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 6: Just uh, I mean, obviously Deon Sanders had moved on, 1882 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 6: but you know, got a little bit of insight from them, 1883 01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:29,479 Speaker 6: just on on Zay and the kind of kid he was. 1884 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,360 Speaker 6: And and you know that information about coach Taylor being 1885 01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:34,240 Speaker 6: here in two thousand and two, just like you don't 1886 01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 6: realize it. And then the assistant ad said, you know, hey, 1887 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 6: I don't know if you realize this, but but then 1888 01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,200 Speaker 6: filled me in on that. So it was fun just 1889 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,120 Speaker 6: to I said, look, I know things have changed in 1890 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,599 Speaker 6: twenty years, but you know, just from your experience here 1891 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 6: what kind of things you have to say to Zay and. 1892 01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:50,680 Speaker 3: You know what to prepare him for, prepare himself for. 1893 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:51,840 Speaker 3: So it was it was good. 1894 01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:55,120 Speaker 6: I mean, I just these these we all do these profiles, 1895 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,519 Speaker 6: and I really kind of enjoyed just getting to talk 1896 01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 6: to the coaches and just you know, of course they're 1897 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 6: going to be for their player and it's all going 1898 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:03,639 Speaker 6: to be positive, but it's also just, you know, fun 1899 01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,720 Speaker 6: to get to see these coaches who work with these 1900 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 6: players and are now getting a chance to see these 1901 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,519 Speaker 6: players go on and you know, achieve their dreams of 1902 01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 6: at least being drafted. You don't know what where they're 1903 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,479 Speaker 6: going to end up, but it was cool and I 1904 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 6: think we're wrapping them up. We all are just about 1905 01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,480 Speaker 6: Don Evans went today on Jake Andrews. 1906 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,360 Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, and I wrapped up keyon White today 1907 01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,800 Speaker 3: and I had mentioned that I had talked to Brent Key, 1908 01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:26,960 Speaker 3: who was the new head coach at Georgia Tech. He 1909 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 3: took over on an interim basis early last season, went 1910 01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,400 Speaker 3: four and four after a real tough start, and earned 1911 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 3: the full time job, and obviously spoke very highly of 1912 01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,680 Speaker 3: Keon White, as Mike said, most of these coaches do that. 1913 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,160 Speaker 3: But it was funny, like he had talked about, you know, 1914 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,759 Speaker 3: the same impressions that we got of that video clip 1915 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:54,040 Speaker 3: of how serious he was, and he said that he 1916 01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 3: was taken aback by it when he first came. When 1917 01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:01,919 Speaker 3: in twenty one, when Keon White came from Old Dominion 1918 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 3: and transferred to to Georgia Tech, he was taken it back. 1919 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:07,559 Speaker 3: And I was like, what's what's up with this guy? 1920 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,439 Speaker 3: What's his problem? He goes as he and a wolf 1921 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,600 Speaker 3: like he was thinking to himself, and he sort of 1922 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:15,920 Speaker 3: got to know him and and sort of understand what 1923 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:17,639 Speaker 3: makes him ticket He's like that all the time. It's 1924 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,120 Speaker 3: it's authentic. That's that's who he is. He's very serious, 1925 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 3: very mature. He said. He's he's older as it is, 1926 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,760 Speaker 3: you know, for but he's like more mature beyond that 1927 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 3: even his advanced age. So this is kind of the 1928 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,320 Speaker 3: seriousness that you get. But he said, don't mistake that 1929 01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:40,840 Speaker 3: for you know, like a lack of passion, caring. Yeah, like, 1930 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,200 Speaker 3: he is very passionate about what he does. He was 1931 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,760 Speaker 3: great at sort of holding the locker room accountable really, 1932 01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 3: you know, on defense, especially last year, he would set 1933 01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:53,240 Speaker 3: up one of the things that he told me, he 1934 01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 3: would set up these contests. They would have two out 1935 01:26:56,040 --> 01:27:00,360 Speaker 3: of three matches short yardage on Tuesdays at practice, and 1936 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 3: when the defense lost, it wasn't just we lost today, No, 1937 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 3: he made sure that they were accountable. So he felt 1938 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:11,559 Speaker 3: like that was really good for him. This is Key 1939 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 3: talking now. It was good for me because I'm trying 1940 01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,439 Speaker 3: to like earn the respect of this locker room, and 1941 01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,280 Speaker 3: I had this guy really doing everything he could to 1942 01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,080 Speaker 3: make sure that everybody was doing whatever they could to win, 1943 01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,960 Speaker 3: and that helped me win over the locker room myself. 1944 01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:26,640 Speaker 3: So I think there was a lot of respect there. 1945 01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 3: I like hearing that. 1946 01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 6: I mean, based on some of the stuff we've been 1947 01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 6: talking about of just you know, generally the everybody who 1948 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,439 Speaker 6: should be right like those things. 1949 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,080 Speaker 3: The way, I'll just tell you guys that Key was 1950 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 3: the offensive line coach at Alabama from sixteen to eighteen ish, 1951 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 3: so he was heavily involved with recruiting Mac Jones and 1952 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 3: obviously went against Christian Barmore in practice and said, I 1953 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,639 Speaker 3: don't know how you deal with those two Barmore and White, 1954 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 3: you know, down the road someday if they were, you know, 1955 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,479 Speaker 3: hanging out over the A gap as sub rushers in 1956 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 3: sub packages. Uh as the three technique inside, that's the idea. 1957 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,799 Speaker 3: Let's go, let's go.

Don't 1977 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,240 Speaker 5: you hear these little things about these guys at the 1978 01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:11,559 Speaker 5: Patriots drafted and you're like kind of Patriots Like, yeah, 1979 01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:13,320 Speaker 5: now I get it. 1980 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,560 Speaker 6: The maturity thing too that Paul said, because that was 1981 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,400 Speaker 6: the same thing they said about about the kicker Ryland, Like, 1982 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,519 Speaker 6: you know, like I mentioned it before it came out 1983 01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 6: of the womb, mature. 1984 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,759 Speaker 3: You know, these guys are serious guys, they're into football. 1985 01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:24,439 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1986 01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 3: I had Actually, it's unfortunate I had an interview scheduled 1987 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:32,040 Speaker 3: for after the show today with Mike Loxley, who is 1988 01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:35,479 Speaker 3: Maryland's head coach, and about Chad Ryland, who I already 1989 01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:38,320 Speaker 3: wrote the profile on anyway at this point, but he 1990 01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:42,120 Speaker 3: unfortunately had to cancel that.

Four that better be over. 2010 01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,599 Speaker 5: I'm gonna I think that's a good prediction. I would 2011 01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,080 Speaker 5: say four on the on the on the money, I'm 2012 01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:42,879 Speaker 5: gonna cheat. 2013 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:45,679 Speaker 3: Gouda have some long ones.

I've been predicting a 2016 01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,759 Speaker 3: resurgent for Hunter Henry this year, and I think Siki 2017 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,080 Speaker 3: will I'll stay over because I think that's a pretty 2018 01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:01,720 Speaker 3: modest number for Yeah, tight ends catch the ball to day. Yeah, 2019 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:05,360 Speaker 3: Zapi tds were staying on the Zappie front here, Zappi 2020 01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:12,320 Speaker 3: TD's three. So he gets Special Teams TDS too. With 2021 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:16,479 Speaker 3: Marcus Jones and Mario Douglas. Maybe I'll go under the 2022 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:18,800 Speaker 3: undern go over. I'm gonna go over to. I think 2023 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:22,200 Speaker 3: special teams be much better. Yeah, because they got new players. 2024 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 3: Paul gives nod before the Pats before the fourth twice. 2025 01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 3: I don't have you given a Patriots nod in the 2026 01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:35,639 Speaker 3: last two seasons Detroit. I gave without question. That game 2027 01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:39,840 Speaker 3: was over on on like the second fourth down stop, right, 2028 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:42,640 Speaker 3: and they had like four more fourth down stops just 2029 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,400 Speaker 3: that well they you know, Board got interviewed and they 2030 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,240 Speaker 3: were like, what do you do anything you remember from 2031 01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,280 Speaker 3: that game? And he was like, nah, but I was 2032 01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 3: hoping it would be like we kept going for fourth down. 2033 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:52,880 Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I am you got the best 2034 01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:54,599 Speaker 3: special teams player in the league, Like, come on, get 2035 01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:57,160 Speaker 3: me out there. Probably, if he didn't get signed by 2036 01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 3: the Patriots, probably said, yeah, none of our players played. 2037 01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 5: What's so weird about that game? Just like mini sidebar here. 2038 01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,920 Speaker 5: What's so weird about that game is that you would 2039 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,040 Speaker 5: expect that that would mean that the Lions are an 2040 01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:11,840 Speaker 5: acolytically driven right, because you're going for it on fourth down, 2041 01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:13,799 Speaker 5: But then they took a running back and an inside 2042 01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:15,120 Speaker 5: linebacker in the first round. 2043 01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:16,360 Speaker 3: So it's like, are you are? 2044 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:20,280 Speaker 5: You can decide, right, and you can tell that Dan 2045 01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:24,960 Speaker 5: Campbell and their brain trust and Ben Johnson, their offensive coordinator, 2046 01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,160 Speaker 5: have to be constantly at odds because Dan Campbell's. 2047 01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:30,840 Speaker 3: I'm feeling this one. I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it. 2048 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 3: We're gonna tear our kneecaps whatever, right, Yeah, no, I'm 2049 01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:39,800 Speaker 3: feeling it. Yard. We gotta feel we got to run 2050 01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:40,160 Speaker 3: the ball. 2051 01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:41,880 Speaker 5: We gotta get a guy that can stop the run, 2052 01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:44,560 Speaker 5: and we got to control the you know, the linebacker. 2053 01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:50,200 Speaker 3: And get Brian Urlacker. In twenty thirteen, they like, they 2054 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,360 Speaker 3: had a really good offense last year and they had 2055 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:56,599 Speaker 3: two running backs and Swift and Williams that were very productive. 2056 01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,839 Speaker 3: Williams is like like right, like sixty a million touchdowns, 2057 01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,120 Speaker 3: but they were, but they were very productive, and they said, 2058 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:05,479 Speaker 3: we'll get rid of those two guys and we'll get 2059 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 3: David Montgomery and then we'll draft Gibbs like of just 2060 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:12,800 Speaker 3: shuffling the deck the chairs on the screen. Be a 2061 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:14,800 Speaker 3: nerd or don't be a nerd? Dan Campbell, make up 2062 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 3: your mind? Uh last one?

I'm just very good. 2086 01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,040 Speaker 5: I'm very glad that we have the setup that we 2087 01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 5: do because Mike doing like the immediate after the game, 2088 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:29,040 Speaker 5: but I can't. 2089 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:31,760 Speaker 3: It's it's a it's tough for me to do. 2090 01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:33,920 Speaker 5: Like it's tough for me to focus on the game 2091 01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:35,680 Speaker 5: the way I want to focus on the game and 2092 01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:38,000 Speaker 5: chart it and do all the things that I do 2093 01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:40,880 Speaker 5: live and then also be writing like a gamer that's 2094 01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:43,800 Speaker 5: supposed to publish right when the clockheads zero in the 2095 01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 5: fourth course that I'm very glad that we have the 2096 01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:46,559 Speaker 5: setup we do. 2097 01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:50,000 Speaker 3: Because we've got some time and like I actually start 2098 01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:54,080 Speaker 3: the style that Mike does. I started doing when we 2099 01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:59,080 Speaker 3: first went digital. Yeah, we first went away from the 2100 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,560 Speaker 3: paper and we started doing postgame shows. I just thought, like, 2101 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:05,559 Speaker 3: you know, sort of quick hit random observations. I used 2102 01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,000 Speaker 3: to call them random thoughts, and it turned into like 2103 01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:12,600 Speaker 3: game observations. What is it called game observations? But what 2104 01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,560 Speaker 3: used to happen to me all the time is the 2105 01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,320 Speaker 3: things that you thought were relevant in the game. You know, 2106 01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:23,160 Speaker 3: you'd start stacking up and then clearly there's a pattern developing, 2107 01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:26,280 Speaker 3: and as you're writing them, you're writing them in such 2108 01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:30,000 Speaker 3: a way that would indicate they won or they lost, right, 2109 01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:33,600 Speaker 3: and then when that changes last minute, you're like the 2110 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,840 Speaker 3: whole tenor of this is now, Oh well, it's like 2111 01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:39,680 Speaker 3: the Marcus Jones punt return, you know, I mean there 2112 01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 3: was like it was enhing game. There were two field 2113 01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 3: goals in it until that point, and then all of 2114 01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:48,240 Speaker 3: a sudden You've got to like completely put the biggest 2115 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:50,400 Speaker 3: point in with like give three minutes before that. Right, 2116 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:52,439 Speaker 3: But at least that's something you do that like that 2117 01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 3: was changing. That's your top. Like I'm thinking more along 2118 01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:58,640 Speaker 3: the lines of like Pages did a great job in 2119 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:03,840 Speaker 3: past protection and and you know, Dolphins came in, you know, 2120 01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:07,400 Speaker 3: leading the league in sacks, the Patriots offensive line completely shut, 2121 01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:09,439 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden there's like a strip sack 2122 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,160 Speaker 3: three minutes left from the game that cost the Patriots 2123 01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:14,559 Speaker 3: of the game. Right, So now I have like six 2124 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,960 Speaker 3: points that I've made that are almost irrelevant at this point, 2125 01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:19,320 Speaker 3: and like, what do you do? 2126 01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:22,200 Speaker 5: That's why That's why I like doing the way that 2127 01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:24,400 Speaker 5: we do because I can I get to, you know, 2128 01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,120 Speaker 5: talk to the guys, fall into that trap and marinate 2129 01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:29,360 Speaker 5: it on a little bit. 2130 01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:31,760 Speaker 3: But I fell into that trap so many times too. 2131 01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:32,559 Speaker 3: It's tough. 2132 01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,920 Speaker 5: It's tough, but I there is a part of me that, 2133 01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:37,880 Speaker 5: you know, I love traveling to the games, like, I 2134 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:38,760 Speaker 5: would not give that up. 2135 01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,280 Speaker 3: I love doing it.

So I never really worried about 2143 01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:06,800 Speaker 3: any writing because I knew I had the plane, Like 2144 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:08,560 Speaker 3: what else you're doing on the plane?

I love going on the road. 2167 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:02,320 Speaker 5: I love being at the game. 2168 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:03,559 Speaker 3: You got to get this. You got to say these 2169 01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,840 Speaker 3: things now because you can't say them at home. I know, Jess, 2170 01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:09,600 Speaker 3: I have to try. It's my burden. I tell her 2171 01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:10,679 Speaker 3: all the time. I can't. 2172 01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,760 Speaker 5: It's really difficult for me to do the detail that 2173 01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:18,719 Speaker 5: I want to get into without seeing the whole field 2174 01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 5: and like being there. So watching it on TV to 2175 01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,519 Speaker 5: me is a little bit like having one hand tied 2176 01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:25,600 Speaker 5: behind my back because I'm at the mercy of the 2177 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:27,519 Speaker 5: camera angles that they're giving me. 2178 01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 6: I just think of the contrast for me between the 2179 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:32,639 Speaker 6: away games when we watch it on TV and you're 2180 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:35,559 Speaker 6: you know, you're stuck with what they're showing you, you're 2181 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:38,800 Speaker 6: also getting the peanut gallery. Everybody that's in this room 2182 01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:40,800 Speaker 6: is weighing in on their thoughts, so that's you know, 2183 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:42,760 Speaker 6: gonna call it. But and then when we're up in 2184 01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,040 Speaker 6: the press box, I'm getting what you're saying. 2185 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,240 Speaker 3: You're seeing the whole field. You can watch what you want. 2186 01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:49,120 Speaker 6: If I want to take my binoculars and just focus 2187 01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:50,680 Speaker 6: on one guy for a play, I can do it. 2188 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:54,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I I I hear exactly where you Yeah. 2189 01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,280 Speaker 5: And then I always go down to the locker room afterwards, 2190 01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:58,519 Speaker 5: and like usually off the record, I'll go up to 2191 01:38:58,600 --> 01:38:59,960 Speaker 5: some players and be like, hey, like I think I 2192 01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,400 Speaker 5: saw it this, Like is this my right? Am I 2193 01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:05,360 Speaker 5: on the right, And they're like usually they like kind 2194 01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:07,000 Speaker 5: of give me a wink, win, nod, nod, and they 2195 01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:09,400 Speaker 5: don't actually like tell me like break it down for 2196 01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 5: me the way you know some might think. 2197 01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:14,320 Speaker 3: But it's it's good. I got an email here from 2198 01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:17,360 Speaker 3: Ryan in Atlanta. I liked with craft good story announcing 2199 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:20,200 Speaker 3: Week one with will be Brady's return. I feel it 2200 01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:22,479 Speaker 3: appropriate to talk a little bit about some of Tom's 2201 01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:25,599 Speaker 3: greatest moments. So what are your favorite moments plays from 2202 01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:28,080 Speaker 3: Tom Brady's career that might not get as much coverage 2203 01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:30,639 Speaker 3: as as many Super Bowl comebacks or nail biting AFC 2204 01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:33,840 Speaker 3: championship games. For me, the regular season game against the 2205 01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:36,360 Speaker 3: Saints in twenty thirteen when he hits Caemberrell Tompkins in 2206 01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:38,240 Speaker 3: the end zone with five seconds left to win the 2207 01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:41,200 Speaker 3: game was the moment that gets me, as Evan says, 2208 01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,000 Speaker 3: hot and bothered when I watch it. Sorry for my 2209 01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:50,280 Speaker 3: clunk reading there, Ryan Atlanta Hips like, good question. I 2210 01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:52,960 Speaker 3: always done it for a Monday night game. Was that 2211 01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,680 Speaker 3: last second touchdown to Givens. I want to say in 2212 01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,160 Speaker 3: the game that Lonnie Packs did attentional safety? Ye yeah, 2213 01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:03,679 Speaker 3: snapped the ball the goalpost. That was That was the three. 2214 01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:06,800 Speaker 5: That was like one of those games where it was like, okay, 2215 01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:11,240 Speaker 5: like Belichick is is doing stuff on a different level 2216 01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,400 Speaker 5: and Brady is Brady. But like that was one of 2217 01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:15,479 Speaker 5: those Patriot games where you're like, all right, they're playing 2218 01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:16,479 Speaker 5: they are playing chess. 2219 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:21,400 Speaker 3: You don't know why they want that knows what's going 2220 01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,160 Speaker 3: childhood for me right now? Let me remember it like 2221 01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:28,320 Speaker 3: it was. It's it's always it's always interesting. They screwed 2222 01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:32,320 Speaker 3: up on the return of the kick and got bottled 2223 01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:34,920 Speaker 3: up deep in their own end. They mishandled the kick 2224 01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,599 Speaker 3: on this. Yeah, Now, I think that the the intentional 2225 01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 3: safety to me, checkers see intent. The intentional safety to 2226 01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:45,800 Speaker 3: me was football one on one. I think a lot 2227 01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:49,200 Speaker 3: of guys would have done that. Now, most teams would 2228 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,680 Speaker 3: have lost even doing that. I think that was the 2229 01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,880 Speaker 3: right thing to do. Most guys would have lost the 2230 01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:59,360 Speaker 3: game because you you have a free kick. Let's say 2231 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 3: you get the ball to the thirty yard line, first 2232 01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,400 Speaker 3: down ends the game. And if you don't, you're punting 2233 01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:06,000 Speaker 3: the ball and you're getting you're pinning them way down 2234 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:11,000 Speaker 3: and there's no time left. Right Everything after the intentional 2235 01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:15,560 Speaker 3: safety was completely botched by Denver in that game. I 2236 01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,479 Speaker 3: think it was Delta O'Neil if I want to remember, 2237 01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,000 Speaker 3: I think he's I think he might have screwed up. 2238 01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:24,360 Speaker 3: I might be confusing it with a different game, but whatever, 2239 01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:29,639 Speaker 3: that drive by Brady to me is memorable. That throw 2240 01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:32,360 Speaker 3: to it was like a twenty twenty five yard touchdown. 2241 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,200 Speaker 3: Wasn't like a little flip, you know, on a little 2242 01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:37,599 Speaker 3: you know, in and out route, you know, jerk route. 2243 01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:43,080 Speaker 3: It was like high degree of difficulty and at mile 2244 01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:46,719 Speaker 3: high they never won their well whatever the Invesco field, 2245 01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:49,440 Speaker 3: I think it was at the time, just an incredible 2246 01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:51,200 Speaker 3: last couple of seconds. 2247 01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:55,800 Speaker 5: I think my first memory that I that I always 2248 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,800 Speaker 5: stuck in my head was Troy Brown's game winner and 2249 01:41:58,840 --> 01:41:59,920 Speaker 5: overtime against Miami. 2250 01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:02,680 Speaker 3: Oh. That's a great one, that one when I when 2251 01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:03,639 Speaker 3: he hit. 2252 01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:05,840 Speaker 5: That throw, first of all, if you like, go watch 2253 01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:10,439 Speaker 5: back and watch that, that is an absolute seed, like yeah, 2254 01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:13,400 Speaker 5: and he's kind of like back pedaling when he throws 2255 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:15,840 Speaker 5: it to his momentum is not going forward. It's not 2256 01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:18,439 Speaker 5: like a typical hair of Mary where the quarterback runs 2257 01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:21,680 Speaker 5: into it or something like that. He's back pedaling and 2258 01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:24,560 Speaker 5: moving to his left, and he still gets enough on it, 2259 01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:27,120 Speaker 5: you know, to to hit Troy Brown in stride and 2260 01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,320 Speaker 5: and then Troy Brown pulled away for the touchdown. And 2261 01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:33,040 Speaker 5: I will never forget how excited because they never won 2262 01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:34,840 Speaker 5: down in Miami right like there was they were on 2263 01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,160 Speaker 5: like a crazy losing streak down there, and I just, 2264 01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:40,880 Speaker 5: uh will never forget how excited even Bill was, you know, 2265 01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:45,920 Speaker 5: throwing things, yeah, right, yeah, and that was that was 2266 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,920 Speaker 5: a big one. The other one that I always love 2267 01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:54,160 Speaker 5: is the the snow game against Tennessee where him in 2268 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:57,080 Speaker 5: Moss and that they think they scored like fifty six 2269 01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:00,680 Speaker 5: and a half or something like. Yeah, that game just 2270 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,840 Speaker 5: was like classic, like we're better than you and we're 2271 01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:05,520 Speaker 5: just dirt stomping teams. 2272 01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,200 Speaker 6: Now and that and that wasn't that was a rough 2273 01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:09,640 Speaker 6: Patriots year too, Like that was just an outlier for 2274 01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:12,599 Speaker 6: that that team in general. I just like, oh seven, 2275 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:15,080 Speaker 6: it's obvious, like no one's surprised, but just some of 2276 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:16,559 Speaker 6: those games it just felt unfair. 2277 01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,280 Speaker 3: It just felt like these guys are on such another level. 2278 01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:22,280 Speaker 6: And the one down in Miami to me where they 2279 01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,200 Speaker 6: still play those highlights, just a couple of those Moss 2280 01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:27,720 Speaker 6: touchdowns where the one guy like tore his acl like 2281 01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:30,360 Speaker 6: on the play like Moss just like one hands it 2282 01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:32,880 Speaker 6: on his shoulder and like two dolphin players just go 2283 01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,120 Speaker 6: flying and one guy's got like a knee injury, and 2284 01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:36,839 Speaker 6: its just like those. 2285 01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:38,680 Speaker 3: Moments where you're like, this is just it's not fair. 2286 01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:39,040 Speaker 3: Right now. 2287 01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:41,120 Speaker 6: They are on a different level, even like Cincinnati that 2288 01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,160 Speaker 6: year where you just felt like they were unstoppable. 2289 01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,120 Speaker 3: It was pretty cool. I don't remember Cincinnati since he 2290 01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:51,080 Speaker 3: I don't know the Miami game was was silly. Was 2291 01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:53,600 Speaker 3: just throwing these balls like you talk about like you 2292 01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:56,559 Speaker 3: develop bad habits. Threw one up like into triple coverage. 2293 01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:59,479 Speaker 3: They had him completely surrounded. The must just like jumped 2294 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:01,920 Speaker 3: up the ball and everybody like just fell over. It 2295 01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:03,920 Speaker 3: was like you know when you watch those clips on 2296 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,160 Speaker 3: on on like YouTube of like the kid that's like 2297 01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,000 Speaker 3: eight years old and everybody playing youth football and they're 2298 01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 3: all just falling down around him. That's what it looked like. Yeah, 2299 01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:14,000 Speaker 3: like they were playing their own game. 2300 01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:17,439 Speaker 5: In a HIMNT Moss and and Gronker like the only 2301 01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:20,160 Speaker 5: two guys that felt exactly like that, like like this 2302 01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:23,080 Speaker 5: is varsity, Like we're on varsity. These are guys that 2303 01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:26,120 Speaker 5: are playing JV. Like that's how I fell watching those guys. 2304 01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:28,519 Speaker 5: But I just remember in O seven, like you knew 2305 01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:31,720 Speaker 5: you could tell by Brady's like mannerisms when he was 2306 01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:34,160 Speaker 5: loading up the gun to throw it deep to Moss 2307 01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,439 Speaker 5: and you're watching it on TV, so you can't see 2308 01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:39,120 Speaker 5: Moss down the field, but you're like Moss down there 2309 01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,880 Speaker 5: somewhere and he's probably he's probably wide open. 2310 01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:43,519 Speaker 6: That was the one game that I went to in 2311 01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,080 Speaker 6: O seven, which was actually during the writer strike that's 2312 01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:48,600 Speaker 6: going on again now out in LA Like, I'm like, 2313 01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 6: I gotta go back. I got to see this team. 2314 01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:51,760 Speaker 6: But I went to the Pittsburgh game, which too, you 2315 01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:53,519 Speaker 6: know famous plays. There was a big one to Moss, 2316 01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,400 Speaker 6: but there was also the like the triple. 2317 01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:58,320 Speaker 3: Pass for Radio Moss to Salwarz, and we were me 2318 01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,640 Speaker 3: and my sisters were in the second last row of 2319 01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:03,519 Speaker 3: this stadium, so we are like, so you had it 2320 01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:05,280 Speaker 3: was more than the All twenty two. It was like 2321 01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:07,160 Speaker 3: the All Lower Bowl. I mean, you had like all 2322 01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:09,160 Speaker 3: thirty thousand down there, but you could see but you 2323 01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:11,479 Speaker 3: could just see it develop. You're like, oh you could. 2324 01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:14,000 Speaker 6: You could tell that Gaffney didn't slow down for a second, 2325 01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:16,760 Speaker 6: you know, like it was just it was all right 2326 01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:18,599 Speaker 6: there before you from from that high level. 2327 01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:20,320 Speaker 3: So it was pretty cool that that game. So those 2328 01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:23,439 Speaker 3: are a few, yeah, a few random. You know, it's 2329 01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:25,800 Speaker 3: hard to really come up playoffs with ones that you 2330 01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:27,519 Speaker 3: don't feel like are famous though, because like all the 2331 01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,240 Speaker 3: games we brought up, I'm like, I remember every single 2332 01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,000 Speaker 3: one of those. It's hard to be like one gem 2333 01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,360 Speaker 3: that you didn't. It's such a product of their dominance 2334 01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:38,400 Speaker 3: that you can, like I always joke about this, like 2335 01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:41,800 Speaker 3: Patriots seemed to have more games that have names. Yeah, 2336 01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:45,200 Speaker 3: you know, and like if it's not like a like 2337 01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:47,160 Speaker 3: you could go in a couple of ways, that New 2338 01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,479 Speaker 3: Orleans one that the email said, like that to me, 2339 01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:51,479 Speaker 3: that's the Kemberrell Tompkins game, because it seemed like that 2340 01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,360 Speaker 3: KEMBERL Tompkins ever did that was memorable in any way, right, 2341 01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:58,040 Speaker 3: But you know a lot of people would say it's 2342 01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:00,840 Speaker 3: the Unicorn and Chowponies game because that's when lost his mind. 2343 01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:02,559 Speaker 3: I have to say that game. 2344 01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:04,200 Speaker 5: I was gonna give Zoe credit, like I think that 2345 01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,280 Speaker 5: he lost his mind. His call of that of that 2346 01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,280 Speaker 5: game winning touchdown is why I think for a lot 2347 01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,439 Speaker 5: of people of my generation that were a little bit 2348 01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,680 Speaker 5: younger in the beginning part of the dynasty, that game 2349 01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:18,439 Speaker 5: sticks out to all of us so much, and a 2350 01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:20,800 Speaker 5: large part to Zoe's credit because of the call, Like 2351 01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:22,920 Speaker 5: the call was money. And then obviously I think the 2352 01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,280 Speaker 5: Red Sox won a World Series game like that same day, 2353 01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:27,559 Speaker 5: like it was just a great Boston sports day. 2354 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:35,519 Speaker 3: It was grand against Detroit when they were like five 2355 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:37,080 Speaker 3: outs away, four outs away. 2356 01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:40,760 Speaker 5: From Yeah, and that was just a great Boston sports day. 2357 01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:42,960 Speaker 5: And I remember I was in college and my college 2358 01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:46,840 Speaker 5: roommates nobody's from Boston and in my in my friend group, 2359 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,400 Speaker 5: and they just hated me that day. They were like, 2360 01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,320 Speaker 5: this guy's got Brady, he's got our teas hitting grand 2361 01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,200 Speaker 5: slams and like they're all just like, you know, wallowing. 2362 01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:58,599 Speaker 3: I remember in my office writing after that game when 2363 01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:00,800 Speaker 3: I had the Red Sox on and I was like, 2364 01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:04,840 Speaker 3: I just like started yelling obscenities like yeah, I can't 2365 01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,840 Speaker 3: believe it. I can't ever believe what. I just like 2366 01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:10,840 Speaker 3: what he just did. And I think that was a lot. 2367 01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,600 Speaker 3: That was a fun I miss having. It's funny a 2368 01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:16,400 Speaker 3: fun night here, like for all that going on, it's 2369 01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:18,840 Speaker 3: funny to me that we're all talking about like I 2370 01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:21,280 Speaker 3: brought up seven when they were just so dominant, and 2371 01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:24,680 Speaker 3: then you guys brought up thirteen when they turned over 2372 01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:27,679 Speaker 3: all their receivers and you're mentioning Kenbrell Tompkins like being 2373 01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:30,160 Speaker 3: you know, like it's just they could win so many 2374 01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:32,639 Speaker 3: different ways. Well they just say it's such a contrast 2375 01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:33,559 Speaker 3: between those two. 2376 01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:35,599 Speaker 6: Teams, Like you know, I mean I know, twenty thirteen 2377 01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,320 Speaker 6: Patriots weren't, you know, the worst team of the of 2378 01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:39,320 Speaker 6: the last twenty years. 2379 01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:41,600 Speaker 3: But you know, it's just they could beat you that 2380 01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:44,040 Speaker 3: way when he had Scrubs and they didn't play great 2381 01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:45,360 Speaker 3: the whole game and then they just kind of pulled 2382 01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,320 Speaker 3: a couple drives out at the end, or they could 2383 01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:49,439 Speaker 3: roll you for fifty at you know seven. It's just 2384 01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:52,439 Speaker 3: such a contrast, so many different things to appreciate that. 2385 01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:56,160 Speaker 5: Same strive, the game winning driving. People like say like, oh, 2386 01:47:56,200 --> 01:47:59,040 Speaker 5: what's your argument for Brady being to go? And I'm like, 2387 01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:01,880 Speaker 5: other than obvious, say the Super Bowls and stuffs, like 2388 01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:06,799 Speaker 5: he led a touch game winning touchdown drive with Austin Colley, KEMBERL. Tompkins, 2389 01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:09,640 Speaker 5: Aaron Dobbson like who, Like you don't know who? Like 2390 01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:11,600 Speaker 5: that's the thing is, Look, I I don't want to 2391 01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:14,040 Speaker 5: get at the whole thing. But like Peyton like played 2392 01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:17,000 Speaker 5: with other Hall of famers around him a lot, okay 2393 01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:17,880 Speaker 5: and Brady. 2394 01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:19,960 Speaker 3: But he also did it with Austin. 2395 01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:24,160 Speaker 5: But those but those guys were were not you know, 2396 01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:26,800 Speaker 5: he had Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison before that, but 2397 01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:30,720 Speaker 5: then he had Austin Colly and Peter top receiver and 2398 01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:34,320 Speaker 5: he's a great player to not trying on Peyton, but 2399 01:48:34,439 --> 01:48:37,040 Speaker 5: it just that he had. Brady had that ability to 2400 01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:39,920 Speaker 5: elevate people around him, no question. And I look at 2401 01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:42,599 Speaker 5: you know, again not to go on the whole Celtics rant, 2402 01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:44,519 Speaker 5: but I look at like some of the athletes that 2403 01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:46,920 Speaker 5: we have in Boston now that are great players at 2404 01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:50,360 Speaker 5: their sports, but guys like Ortiz, guys like Brady, like 2405 01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:53,960 Speaker 5: these guys just don't have that, Like they don't have 2406 01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:58,120 Speaker 5: the Jason Tatum has generational talent, maybe, but he doesn't 2407 01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:01,720 Speaker 5: have that like ability to just pull Austin Colly and 2408 01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:04,880 Speaker 5: Ken Broo Tompkins to a game winning drive. And you know, 2409 01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:08,360 Speaker 5: those types of moments are David Ortiz when everybody knows 2410 01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:10,240 Speaker 5: that David ortis about to hit a Grand Slam and 2411 01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:12,720 Speaker 5: tie the game, and he did it, like he just 2412 01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:13,120 Speaker 5: does it. 2413 01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:13,439 Speaker 4: You know. 2414 01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:15,840 Speaker 6: I felt similar about the Patriots defense in the early 2415 01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,080 Speaker 6: two thousands of you know, not at the level of what. 2416 01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:20,840 Speaker 3: Brady became, but just I always had such confidence. I've 2417 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:23,080 Speaker 3: talked about it with Rabel too, like similar kind of thing, 2418 01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:25,120 Speaker 3: like you just knew these guys have been in all 2419 01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:28,080 Speaker 3: these situations and I just feel confident no matter who 2420 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,400 Speaker 3: they're going up against, they're gonna be a tough matchup 2421 01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:30,759 Speaker 3: for whoever. 2422 01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:33,400 Speaker 5: The Eagle Super Bowl is exactly that to me. The 2423 01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:37,800 Speaker 5: first Eagles Super Bowl obviously, that was a touchdown game, right, 2424 01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:39,919 Speaker 5: like they they were only up a touchdown. 2425 01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:43,280 Speaker 3: Oh and they probably should have been losing by more 2426 01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:46,480 Speaker 3: right earlier in the game. I thought Philly really outplayed 2427 01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:49,160 Speaker 3: them in the first half. But I totally know where 2428 01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:51,720 Speaker 3: you're gonna where you're going with this. I never, for once, 2429 01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:54,679 Speaker 3: not a second thought the Patriots were gonna lose that game. 2430 01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:56,679 Speaker 3: And I never really even thought they were in trouble. 2431 01:49:56,840 --> 01:50:00,720 Speaker 5: No, and they that drive that Rod Harrison has the 2432 01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:03,200 Speaker 5: pick to see it basically seal the game. That was 2433 01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:06,640 Speaker 5: a touchdown game, right, And it never once did it. 2434 01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:08,720 Speaker 5: Donn on mean that Donovan mcnabbles. 2435 01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:10,200 Speaker 3: It was twenty four to twenty one. 2436 01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:12,360 Speaker 5: I never in months did I think that Donavan mcnabble 2437 01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:13,640 Speaker 5: is going to march down the field and win the 2438 01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:14,280 Speaker 5: game for Philly. 2439 01:50:14,360 --> 01:50:16,000 Speaker 3: No, No, I know one time, right, and then he 2440 01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:17,800 Speaker 3: felt the same way when Eli Manning got put in 2441 01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:19,840 Speaker 3: a similar situation. You know, at the end of the day, 2442 01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:22,080 Speaker 3: that game and you're like, all right, like just close 2443 01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:24,439 Speaker 3: it out. I mean, everybody just pictures Rodney Harrison intercep 2444 01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:28,080 Speaker 3: of the running like I'll take it like on the 2445 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:31,960 Speaker 3: other side. And sometimes when he didn't do it, so yo, 2446 01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:35,960 Speaker 3: I Manning scores a touchdown they were down three. I 2447 01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:38,880 Speaker 3: just said, okay, it's like thirty seconds left, talk twenty six, 2448 01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,320 Speaker 3: whatever it was, he'll get a field goal. Yeah, And 2449 01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:44,599 Speaker 3: I couldn't believe they just threw bombs like the first 2450 01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:47,400 Speaker 3: couple of plays. Now one of them like almost got completed. 2451 01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:50,080 Speaker 3: But that still haunts me to this day. How come 2452 01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:52,840 Speaker 3: I just like, why wouldn't you just continue to do 2453 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:55,120 Speaker 3: what you always do and run like these fifteen yard 2454 01:50:55,120 --> 01:50:58,360 Speaker 3: crosses with Wes Welker, and yeah, call time out, get 2455 01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:00,120 Speaker 3: out of bounds, do whatever you need to do, and 2456 01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,040 Speaker 3: let's lift the fight another the show it always takes. 2457 01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:06,160 Speaker 3: I thought they would, you know, to you a point 2458 01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:08,720 Speaker 3: like the confidence that you had in the defense. I 2459 01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:11,559 Speaker 3: had such confidence in that offense. I never never thought 2460 01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:14,000 Speaker 3: that game was gonna end there. I said, go to 2461 01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:16,559 Speaker 3: overtime and see what happens. Four Then then when they 2462 01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:18,639 Speaker 3: you know, when when they sacked him on the first play, 2463 01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,760 Speaker 3: I kind of said, maybe it's just not meant to be. Yeah, 2464 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:25,240 Speaker 3: and then against uh, Carolina, like Carolina was in that game, 2465 01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:26,720 Speaker 3: Carolina I thought could win the game. 2466 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:29,840 Speaker 5: Carolina was squarely in that game, and yet somehow they 2467 01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:32,519 Speaker 5: it just felt like they always figured it out. And then, 2468 01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:35,400 Speaker 5: of course, as you reminded me of O seven, they 2469 01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:35,640 Speaker 5: did not. 2470 01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,080 Speaker 3: But I'm not gonna like pretend like that. The Eagles 2471 01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:42,280 Speaker 3: game in four, I never thought they were going to 2472 01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:46,160 Speaker 3: lose the game the year before, when Carolina kept coming back, 2473 01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:49,800 Speaker 3: kept coming back, I thought that game play. I thought 2474 01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:51,040 Speaker 3: that game could have gone either way. 2475 01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 5: If you're like my age or younger in Patriots fans 2476 01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:57,839 Speaker 5: listening to this, go back and watch the Carolina Patriots 2477 01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:00,680 Speaker 5: Super bowlts on YouTube. It's it's a dense version of 2478 01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:02,400 Speaker 5: it actually on YouTube, so you don't even have to 2479 01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:06,320 Speaker 5: watch commercials. That is an all time great game, just 2480 01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:08,160 Speaker 5: a game in NFL history, a. 2481 01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:11,599 Speaker 3: Weird game of the contrast of scoring in the first 2482 01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:14,280 Speaker 3: fourteen to ten in the second, no scoring in the third, 2483 01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:17,240 Speaker 3: ends up thirty twenty nine, right just to it always 2484 01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:17,960 Speaker 3: gets missed. 2485 01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:21,080 Speaker 5: I think because Carolina wasn't like this, you know, it 2486 01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:23,880 Speaker 5: didn't They didn't have this great quarterback or it wasn't 2487 01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:27,120 Speaker 5: a great Carolina team in theory, but that's one of 2488 01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:29,719 Speaker 5: the best Super Bowls I think that that's ever been played. 2489 01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:32,479 Speaker 6: I mean, Julius Peppers, I know that those guys just 2490 01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:34,559 Speaker 6: I remember hearing from some of the Patriots guys talking 2491 01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:37,600 Speaker 6: about that Super Bowl just how tough Carolina was, Like 2492 01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:40,560 Speaker 6: they just they were a big Chris Jenkins. 2493 01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:46,080 Speaker 3: Was it, Brentson Buckner, Chris Peppers, Peppers, they had Dan Morgan, 2494 01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:51,240 Speaker 3: I think there, Uh, they had some players there that defense. 2495 01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:57,680 Speaker 3: Steve Smith. Manning was not Daniel Moosen, Muhammed That's what 2496 01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:01,200 Speaker 3: it was. Ricky Manning. Ricky I loved and I still 2497 01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:03,680 Speaker 3: love Smith, Steve Smith. Yeah, Muhammad had like an eighty 2498 01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:06,240 Speaker 3: seven yard touchdown. Yeah, that was a play that he's 2499 01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:09,240 Speaker 3: stiff armed Eugene Wilson. I know, I've told this story 2500 01:53:09,360 --> 01:53:11,880 Speaker 3: on the on the radio many times and Fred and 2501 01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:14,760 Speaker 3: he got hurt on the play, and Fred insisted that 2502 01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:17,240 Speaker 3: Wilson wasn't hurt and he was just embarrassed that he 2503 01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,960 Speaker 3: gave up a touchdown and got stiff armed. He ended 2504 01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:23,599 Speaker 3: up not returning to the game, having surgery to repair 2505 01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:28,280 Speaker 3: a torn groin. I believe, and Fred still to this 2506 01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:31,439 Speaker 3: day insists that it wasn't a real injury and he 2507 01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:32,799 Speaker 3: was just all for effect. 2508 01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:35,479 Speaker 5: He played the long I think that's still the longest 2509 01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:38,280 Speaker 5: touchdown from scrimmage in Super Bowl history. 2510 01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:41,280 Speaker 3: I want to say eighty seven years just like that. 2511 01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:44,400 Speaker 3: But that was and that was the first time the 2512 01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:48,600 Speaker 3: Patriots were trailing in something like ten games. And the 2513 01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:51,200 Speaker 3: last time they had been trailing prior to that was 2514 01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:55,920 Speaker 3: in the same stadium against Houston, like in November of 2515 01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:59,160 Speaker 3: that year. And that was in the midstime before I 2516 01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:03,000 Speaker 3: was tired. Was that what it was? Yes, they topped 2517 01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:06,160 Speaker 3: out of that team was domin They kept running out out. 2518 01:54:06,240 --> 01:54:08,240 Speaker 6: Let's grab a couple of emails here as we rolled 2519 01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:11,439 Speaker 6: down the final stretch from Jerry North, Carolina. 2520 01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:13,480 Speaker 3: Just about the rookie wide receivers. 2521 01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:16,160 Speaker 6: If the two new wide receiver rookies show they can 2522 01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:18,639 Speaker 6: contribute to the offense early in camp, can we package 2523 01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:21,840 Speaker 6: Devontae Parker and Kendrick Bourne and a fourth to Denver 2524 01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:23,599 Speaker 6: for Jerry Judy and a late round pick. 2525 01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:27,280 Speaker 3: These are these are like the trade machine things right, 2526 01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:30,479 Speaker 3: your trade has been rejected. We're getting a little wonky, 2527 01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:31,880 Speaker 3: but we did talk. 2528 01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,000 Speaker 6: About guys that maybe could be moved, and I know 2529 01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:36,200 Speaker 6: Kendrick Bourne came up and I mentioned just as we 2530 01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:38,960 Speaker 6: went to break of, we saw what Shack Mason just 2531 01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:42,000 Speaker 6: got another nice three year, good money deal, solid for him, 2532 01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:46,040 Speaker 6: Maybe a little bit of an indication of what Michael 2533 01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:49,040 Speaker 6: and Win is going to potentially get next offseason. You've 2534 01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:51,440 Speaker 6: got a couple, I mean, all three of these rookies 2535 01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:54,760 Speaker 6: could probably play guard. Uh if one of them really pops, 2536 01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:57,240 Speaker 6: do you do you swing on Minu for something? That's 2537 01:54:57,280 --> 01:54:59,760 Speaker 6: that's my question right now, maybe as a trade bait guy. 2538 01:54:59,840 --> 01:55:01,560 Speaker 3: And I know you hate it, Evan, No, I don't 2539 01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:01,840 Speaker 3: hate it. 2540 01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:02,160 Speaker 9: Uh. 2541 01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:04,600 Speaker 3: Well, if one of them pups is a key part 2542 01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:06,800 Speaker 3: of that, Like I don't want to trade him right now, 2543 01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:09,800 Speaker 3: right right, but like you get into training camp and 2544 01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:12,280 Speaker 3: somebody has an injury City Sow looks like he's every 2545 01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:14,440 Speaker 3: bit as good as Michael Owenu. I'm not opposed to that. 2546 01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:17,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, if there's one guy out of that twenty twenty 2547 01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:21,200 Speaker 5: draft class, dugg or uj Onu, I don't mind parting 2548 01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:23,680 Speaker 5: ways with it's right. I mean he's the guard, Like, 2549 01:55:23,960 --> 01:55:27,560 Speaker 5: that's fine. My whole argument with them is just I 2550 01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:30,080 Speaker 5: said is off air, there's no reason that Kyle Dugger 2551 01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:32,240 Speaker 5: should not have a second contract with the Patriots. Like 2552 01:55:32,320 --> 01:55:36,320 Speaker 5: there's he's done everything, He's checked every single box, he's developed, 2553 01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:38,640 Speaker 5: he's been on an upward ascension now for a couple 2554 01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:41,400 Speaker 5: of years. He's a good football player. You drafted a 2555 01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:43,720 Speaker 5: good football player, and you shouldn't let those types of 2556 01:55:43,800 --> 01:55:47,360 Speaker 5: guys walk. I think it's more complicated because of his 2557 01:55:47,560 --> 01:55:50,520 Speaker 5: role and lack of three down versatility and things like that, 2558 01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:53,720 Speaker 5: but I would throw him in that same category as 2559 01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:55,800 Speaker 5: well that I feel like he has been somebody that 2560 01:55:56,720 --> 01:55:58,920 Speaker 5: especially if he has a good year this year, I 2561 01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:02,520 Speaker 5: would aspect that they should retain him now on WHENU 2562 01:56:03,480 --> 01:56:04,800 Speaker 5: I can take it or leave it on him a 2563 01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:08,240 Speaker 5: great football player, like really good guard. But Alix, I 2564 01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:10,760 Speaker 5: think they learned, maybe they're lesson a little bit with 2565 01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:14,440 Speaker 5: hoping with Joe Toney and Jack Mason that investing big 2566 01:56:14,560 --> 01:56:18,240 Speaker 5: cap dollars, especially in guards is really not where you 2567 01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:20,640 Speaker 5: want to allocate your resource, especially when you use the 2568 01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:22,960 Speaker 5: first round pick on the left guard. So now you 2569 01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:24,680 Speaker 5: have a first round pick at left guard, you have 2570 01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,600 Speaker 5: a ten million dollar right guard. At some point you 2571 01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:29,880 Speaker 5: need to spread the assets around a little bit more. 2572 01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:32,480 Speaker 6: I want to make a better argument for Uch because 2573 01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:34,960 Speaker 6: I just and like, I know everything you said. I mean, 2574 01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:37,040 Speaker 6: he's not a full time player, but I do think 2575 01:56:37,080 --> 01:56:39,520 Speaker 6: that in today's NFL, it's I look at it a 2576 01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:42,400 Speaker 6: little bit different than I might have, say in twenty eleven, 2577 01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:44,320 Speaker 6: when they kind of have Mark Anderson in as like 2578 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:46,200 Speaker 6: kind of in that role. I would say, like it 2579 01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:49,560 Speaker 6: was and I know he got elevated to playing starting 2580 01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:52,880 Speaker 6: defensive end after Andre Carter got hurt, but as you know, 2581 01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:56,880 Speaker 6: a designated pass rusher essentially, like you need those guys 2582 01:56:56,960 --> 01:56:59,240 Speaker 6: like you need an athlete like josh Uja coming off 2583 01:56:59,280 --> 01:56:59,600 Speaker 6: the edge. 2584 01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:00,880 Speaker 3: I just I find it. 2585 01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:02,960 Speaker 6: Hard to It's just I know, you got to find 2586 01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:05,720 Speaker 6: what money makes sense. And if he turns in a 2587 01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:08,680 Speaker 6: twelve sax season this year, even if it's largely you know, 2588 01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:10,680 Speaker 6: feeding off of the team defense and just kind of 2589 01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:13,800 Speaker 6: being the finisher, I just I think the biggest thing 2590 01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:14,920 Speaker 6: for me is what Evan. 2591 01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:17,480 Speaker 3: Said, You drafted this kid, you developed him. You don't 2592 01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:19,240 Speaker 3: have a lot of these guys. You want to have 2593 01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:21,360 Speaker 3: some continuity in the locker room and guys who you 2594 01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:23,920 Speaker 3: know can kind of carry the culture forward year to year. 2595 01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:26,080 Speaker 3: You're not going to have you already lost mccordy this year, 2596 01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:27,920 Speaker 3: you're probably gonna lose Slater. If not this year, you 2597 01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:31,240 Speaker 3: know within the next year or two. So I there 2598 01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:31,720 Speaker 3: haven't been a. 2599 01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:33,280 Speaker 6: Lot of draft hits, and I just I struggle for 2600 01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:35,680 Speaker 6: as much as I can say, he's not an every 2601 01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:37,680 Speaker 6: down player, and he'll get paid somewhere else. 2602 01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:41,240 Speaker 3: Maybe I agree. I'm less worried about him not being 2603 01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:43,480 Speaker 3: an every down player as I am him not being 2604 01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:46,240 Speaker 3: what we saw in the last eight weeks. Yeah, now 2605 01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:49,760 Speaker 3: I'm fully ready to say, hey, look, I he was 2606 01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:52,360 Speaker 3: a late bloomer, took him a while, maybe he was 2607 01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:54,600 Speaker 3: banged up a little bit, first couple of years, came 2608 01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:56,760 Speaker 3: into his own and if that's what I see this year, 2609 01:57:57,040 --> 01:57:59,600 Speaker 3: I'm with you, Mike. Yeah, I'm less worried about him 2610 01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:02,600 Speaker 3: being a full time player because I think that role 2611 01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:04,960 Speaker 3: is very valuable, especially in today's NFL. 2612 01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:06,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're playing I mean you're you're not playing a 2613 01:58:06,920 --> 01:58:09,280 Speaker 6: lot of snaps, but you're playing the most critical down 2614 01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:09,680 Speaker 6: in the game. 2615 01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:12,600 Speaker 3: What do you pay for it is the question? And 2616 01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:16,640 Speaker 3: that's why you know the Shaq Mason deal. It was 2617 01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:21,800 Speaker 3: a three for thirty six. I'd sign up for that 2618 01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:24,840 Speaker 3: for for a WHENU. Yeah, I don't think that's what 2619 01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:29,280 Speaker 3: when you will sign for because the the free agents 2620 01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:32,680 Speaker 3: in their prime are going to get like deals that 2621 01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:36,040 Speaker 3: are twice that size. Ye, and that I would say, 2622 01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:38,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to step back and say whatever it said. 2623 01:58:38,760 --> 01:58:41,920 Speaker 3: I learned from Tuney and Mason, two really really good 2624 01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:44,680 Speaker 3: players played at a very high level for the Patriots. 2625 01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:48,120 Speaker 3: We re signed them. And it's not really the difference 2626 01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:51,400 Speaker 3: between winning a Super Bowl or not, Like I can 2627 01:58:51,680 --> 01:58:53,960 Speaker 3: I can get by with lesser at that position and 2628 01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:57,600 Speaker 3: save money. Now, on one hand, I say you can 2629 01:58:57,680 --> 01:58:59,960 Speaker 3: save money. If I thought they were just going to spend, 2630 01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:03,040 Speaker 3: I wouldn't care. But I do think it matters. Like 2631 01:59:03,120 --> 01:59:05,160 Speaker 3: everybody's got a budget, and I think it matters, so 2632 01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:07,360 Speaker 3: I want to spend more Wisely. 2633 01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:10,880 Speaker 6: Stevie just had to he emailed in just to agree 2634 01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:13,760 Speaker 6: with you, Evan. If you haven't seen Panthers Super Bowl, 2635 01:59:13,800 --> 01:59:16,000 Speaker 6: go check it out. Great game, especially the variable touchdown 2636 01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:17,880 Speaker 6: fourth quarter was ridiculous. 2637 01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:19,240 Speaker 3: That is in fact true. 2638 01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:21,440 Speaker 5: It's also fun to watch those games now because you 2639 01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:25,040 Speaker 5: know that they win. There's the stress of them potentially 2640 01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:25,840 Speaker 5: losing the game. 2641 01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:28,520 Speaker 3: Is no longer. I always like when I watch games 2642 01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:31,320 Speaker 3: back then, you know, because I was here every day, 2643 01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:34,160 Speaker 3: every game. And you remember like when Mike said that 2644 01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,240 Speaker 3: he talked to a guy who was an undrafted free 2645 01:59:36,280 --> 01:59:40,360 Speaker 3: agent and he said TC Taylor. I remember TC taylorah 2646 01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:44,360 Speaker 3: from training Campy time came. When you go back and 2647 01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:47,440 Speaker 3: watch that game, you see guys that you've never thought 2648 01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:49,920 Speaker 3: of in fifteen years, never once. Yeah, And the guy 2649 01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:51,600 Speaker 3: that always sticks out in that game for me is 2650 01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:56,120 Speaker 3: Sean Mayer, who when they lost like nine thousand safety, 2651 01:59:56,160 --> 01:59:59,280 Speaker 3: they lost Wilson, they lost Rodney, they just had to 2652 01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:02,560 Speaker 3: put that was the version of Nate Ebe. We had 2653 02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:06,520 Speaker 3: to finish the game at safety. Sean Mayor undrafted rookie 2654 02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:09,520 Speaker 3: I want to sign out John Mayor Sean Sean Mayer. 2655 02:00:10,480 --> 02:00:11,920 Speaker 3: I think he was out of Penn State. And I'm 2656 02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:14,720 Speaker 3: a thirty night. When I watched that second look what 2657 02:00:14,800 --> 02:00:16,480 Speaker 3: I was like, who the heck is that? 2658 02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:17,160 Speaker 11: You know? 2659 02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:18,640 Speaker 3: We keep on nexter Reid? 2660 02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:21,800 Speaker 5: No wonder why Carolina put up thirty points in the 2661 02:00:21,920 --> 02:00:22,480 Speaker 5: fourth course. 2662 02:00:22,560 --> 02:00:24,520 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, that was that was part of it. 2663 02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:27,440 Speaker 3: That was absolutely part of it. All right, that's gonna 2664 02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:30,240 Speaker 3: do it for us? Becky pro don't go anywhere. The catch. 2665 02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:33,040 Speaker 3: Twenty two guys are up next talking more football for 2666 02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:35,160 Speaker 3: the next couple of hours, and uh, that'll do it 2667 02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:36,960 Speaker 3: for the rest of us, though we'll be back next 2668 02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:39,800 Speaker 3: week Tuesday.
