5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: He tried to give him an effort. He tried to

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: do the blog servations. I don't know, I just felt

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: a little jeal. I'll show you a little a little

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: down on the headcoach cut a little fit the little

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,280

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: and Pedro writes in He's from Connecticut. I'd like to

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: say that the addition of Tamara Brown was a great

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: ad to the media roster. She provides great insight and

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: that's clearly full of Patriot's knowledge. I enjoyed listening to

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: her during the Patriots pregame show. Signed Tamara's mother, Fred

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: has been talking. Fred has been talking about trading Isaiah

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Wynn for like a year and a half. So you

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: was doing it out the whole lop season. Oh, I know,

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: but who was the Patriots player? They played there? One

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: day at Cleveland. It was early. Windy said, uh, oh,

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: what do you expect when you build a stadium on

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: the ocean. You're unbelievable. It was oil canned boyd for Oh,

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: it's the Red Sox. This is Patriot's Unfiltered, fueled by Dungan.

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: All right, welcome into Patriots Unfiltered. Wake up, dude. That's right, folks.

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: It's Mike d on the mic here. And uh, just

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: got off a red eye about four hours ago, so

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit a little bit bleary eyed. But

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: Fred is now. We were like two ships passing in

30
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: the night. Yeah, and he's now in Vegas. So unfortunately

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: for you, guys, you get me in the host chair.

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: But of course Paul is here, Alex is here to

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: save the day. And uh, and guys, it was it

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: was an interesting three days. I got my notes here.

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: I know everybody was worried about me. There were a

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: lot of wellness checks going on after I called him.

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: You must say, for taking a red eye from Las

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Vegas of all places, you don't look dishoveled at all.

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Um, he's a handsome. Yeah, well, I

40
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: got about I don't know, I get handsome. I need

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: to know now. I guess it's that the dry Vegas

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: air must have helped me out. But you know a

43
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: little protocol talc though on the red eyes, like why

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: are we having a baby? Cry? Like why are we

45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: bringing a baby on a red eye? Should we just

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: throw the baby into the luggage department like a soundproof cage.

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that there would be a baby on

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: a red eye? Got it? That's yeah, thanks Matt. That's

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: what I was listening to from about one am to

50
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: five am. I mean because I could think of some

51
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: of the you know, nightmare playing rides that I had

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: with my kids when they were really little, and I

53
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: would never even have thought about doing it on a

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: red eye. No, and and and the baby started crying,

55
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: like right as we're at the gate, and I my

56
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: initial having been a parent with a baby on a flight,

57
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: I feel sympathe, I feel bad, and I'm like, you

58
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: know what, I'm confident you're gonna get that baby to sleep.

59
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: We're not gonna hear a pete. I was wrong. See,

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: But I think about like when when did I don't

61
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: know about you. And when did your baby sleep the

62
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: least in the middle of the night, right that that

63
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: was certainly the case. And one other bone to pick two, like,

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: if you're not watching TV on the Red Eye, can

65
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: you just turn it down? Like the woman next to

66
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: me in the middle seat, she was watching like one

67
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: of those like a scared straight prison shows, you know,

68
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: where they like bring kids in or something. A lot

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: of flashing though, So it's just just so hard to

70
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: close your eyes and you've got the light glaring and everything.

71
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: And you can buy those nice little satin eye covers

72
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: with like ice in it, I know, and I was

73
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: thinking about those things. I was thinking about it. Luckily

74
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: I had it with the logo branded just like your

75
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: little training camp chain don't bother Me Raiders. Uh yeah,

76
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: it was so it was experienced, but I felt like

77
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I had to get in here and uh, you know, share,

78
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: share my insights and let everybody know that I'm okay

79
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: after watching those joint practices. So if you guys, you know,

80
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: if you want to press me on it, I got

81
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,960

Speaker 1: I can, you know, give you any insight in terms

86
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: of what we saw. But so first and most for you, dude,

87
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: yeah is I am just really happy to see you

88
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: because last I spoke with you on Tuesday during the show,

89
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: toward the end of the show, when Fred and I

90
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: were wrapping up, you chimed in and I really feared

91
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: for your sake. I did. I was thinking about wandering

92
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: off into the desert. I thought you were going to

93
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: hurt yourself. Get some patay, go on a personal journey

94
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going on with the I know

95
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: the Patriots weren't great on Tuesday. It was a little

96
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: better on Wednesday, so they had something to build on,

97
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: which I think is if we're in a place where

98
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: you're like considering payote to reset your mindset on this team,

99
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: I need to go on I need to go on

100
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: a journey. No, you know. And it was so depressed.

101
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: And I gotta say this though, I think when you

102
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: got when I first spoke with you, guys, that was

103
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: the first practice and I was just blown away by

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: how good Davante Adams and Hunter renfro was and that

105
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: was like kind of my initial woe moment, because, as

106
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: I wrote in the blogs, we were kind of stuck

107
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the sidelines of three fields, so

108
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: it was so hard to see, especially the Patriots. We

109
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: got tons of access to what the Raiders were doing.

110
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: You could hear their coaches and all that, but a

111
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: lot of the one on ones with the Raiders receivers

112
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: and the Patriots dbs took place right in front of us.

113
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: And I think when I spoke with you guys, it

114
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: had been you know, that initial impression of just wow,

115
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: this is what you know and I haven't been only

116
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: been here since twenty nineteen. This is what like elite

117
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: receiver play looks like. This is what separation looks like.

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 1: This is what an uncoverable slot receiver that I wished

119
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: to death that we had looks like. So those were

120
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: the things that we're kind of jumping out. But um,

121
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, as as as you read, Paul, and as

122
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned, I do think that they found a little

123
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: bit of of of a stride. I don't think that

124
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 1: they were overly explosive, but I think when they were

125
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: in gotta have at moments. At the end of the

126
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: two practices they made, they made some really nice plays

127
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: the defense. The first day got off the field, they

128
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: almost got off the field. The second day on the

129
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: final drill when it was you know, two minutes, I

130
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: think they put like fifty seconds on the clock. It

131
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: was all you know, spike in the ball, clock management

132
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But I think what I kind

133
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: of came away with and what Evan's going to call

134
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: into in an hour to give his takes as well. Um,

135
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, what I kind of have come away with

136
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: is the question how much can the Patriots game plan

137
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: and help and and fix the problems we've seen? How

138
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Because that's what do you keep hearing? You keep hearing, Well,

139
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: this is just we're working on fundamentals. There's no game

140
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: plans going on. There's and of course of course, but

141
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, like you watch the Raiders offense

142
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: and it doesn't look like they're having any problems not

143
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: having a game plan like they're they're doing pretty well.

144
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: No one's game planning at this time of year. It's

145
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: just man on man. Now, Your question is a good one,

146
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: like how much does when when you know when Bill

147
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: gets into that process. How much does that help level

148
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: the playing field? Yeah, And and the kind of thing

149
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: I came away with a little bit that gave me

150
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: some some inner piece when I when I was on

151
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: my payote trip out in the desert, was just that,

152
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, there are moments throughout the summer where Mac

153
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Jones and the offensive looked pretty good. And I think

154
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: it's when they've kind of been spread out doing Mac

155
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: does best. And you know there's some moments where all right,

156
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: they moved the ball. That was certainly the case in

157
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: the in the two minute drills the last couple of days.

158
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: And so I guess what I came away thinking was

159
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: that they know what works for Mac. They're not going

160
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: to keep trying to beat the dead horse. When they

161
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: get into Miami, they're gonna find this is the stuff

162
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: that's been working for us, this is what we can

163
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: try to do. So, you know, I'm not saying that

164
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm fully confident that all of a sudden it's it's

165
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a productive offense that can put together a

166
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: twelve play eighty five yard drive and and and put

167
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: up seven points. But I do think that they'll lean

168
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: into their strengths, and it won't be as completely sporadic

169
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: as as it kind of been in the early periods

170
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: of the joint practices. Sure, sure, and I do think.

171
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: And it was funny because when when Mike is talking Alex,

172
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, it was like really, I mean dark stuff.

173
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, He's like the doors this is the end

174
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: was playing in the background because they would they I

175
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: guess they really super hungover and no, they just had

176
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: a bad day. I just want to say, for the record,

177
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: you guys want to guess how many how many total

178
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: beers I had when I was there, Well, I'm too Oh,

179
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna go with zero because I wasn't there too.

180
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: If Matt and I were there, it would have been

181
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot higher than that. You don't come off so hot,

182
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: like well, here's the thing I mean I had I

183
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: did the night we went out Corona Light was was

184
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: was wonderful with a little line with didn't have a

185
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: hole in it. Matt, certainly that's why you had to

186
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: because your first one had a hole in it. Then

187
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: I got to the restaurant bled you know, it was

188
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: just so bloody hot and you're in the sun and

189
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to see anything while you were

190
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: on the sideline. You had to be out in the sun.

191
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: So that was like, I can't handle going into a

192
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: day like this with a hangover and then having to

193
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: go stand underneath the desert sun for for I mean

194
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: two hours, two and a half hours. It was hot.

195
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: So I was I was a good boy, and I

196
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: also want to say my perdam But as he was,

197
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: as he was talking about all the things that went

198
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: wrong in the first day, you know, and it got

199
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: to the point we were, you know, fred and I

200
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: would kind of laughing with him, and then we kind

201
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: of got whoa. He's like really really upset about this,

202
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: So you know, you sort of want to step back

203
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, you know, dudes, it's just practice,

204
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: like and you know, and you want to say it's

205
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: not that bad, but I didn't see it, so I can't,

206
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, and that right, and I didn't see it,

207
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: so I can't say, well, it's not that bad, dude.

208
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: They weren't that bad, Like you know, what about this?

209
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: What about that? And I had a flashback to what

210
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: I was in high school, right, so I have my

211
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: high school girlfriend got a haircut and I hadn't seen

212
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: it and she was like over the top depressed, and

213
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with her and she's lik in tears,

214
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: and this is going off for like ten minutes, and

215
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of myself the whole time. You can't say

216
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. You can't say, don't say it's

217
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: not that bad. Don't say it, don't say it. Sure enough,

218
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: I eventually said it's not that bad yet even say it.

219
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: And that's all I could think about. You were, like

220
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: someone's gonna get you were in there, but you were

221
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: in there. You think you know everything, You weren't even there.

222
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's just I mean, looking back at my

223
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: notes from that day, though, you know it's it's I mean,

224
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: first of all, Davante Adams, I mean he must have

225
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: caught like thirty balls over two days. I mean he

226
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: had more catches than the Patriots probably completed in either

227
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: of the practices, especially the first day. So how many

228
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: of those would he have completed at Baker Mayfield or

229
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: Saint Darnold with throwing it to him, I'm gonna go

230
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: with cut in half. Maybe maybe that much. But you know,

231
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: just looking at like the zone eleven on eleven period,

232
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: where it was you know, run stuff. They hit one,

233
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, the one nice play, of course, there's always

234
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: one to DeVante Parker was a nice little scene touchdown. Hey,

235
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: we feel good for a second, you know, but then

236
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: incomplete thirty seven pressure in his face, fifteen pass, breakup,

237
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: thirty eight runs stuff incomplete, you know, like that's the period,

238
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: Like that's what I was watching. And number there's just nothing.

239
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: The numbers that day. And I don't get lost in

240
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: the numbers, as you guys all know, but the numbers

241
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: that day were pretty bad. They were and uh, you know,

242
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: and I mean the other thing that I wrote about

243
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: this and blogs actually I talked about it and and

244
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: if you guys haven't read or listened to the camp cast,

245
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: me and Evan we banged out like fifteen minutes each

246
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: on those, like really running down things of how we

247
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: were feeling. But just the volume, the volume of read

248
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: the blogs, the volume of of work that they did,

249
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: like they had so many eleven on eleven periods yesterday

250
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: of middle of everybody read Zone Situational. It was not like,

251
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: all right, let's do this for a little bit and

252
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: now kick off and I will do this a little punt.

253
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: It was just eleven after rup extraplate from that, Do

254
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: you guys think we'll see much of the starters, you know,

255
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: if they got that much work, I have my doubts. Yeah,

256
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean I doubt you know, you had you sent

257
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: out your roundtable, uh, you know, questions about that, and

258
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: I think maybe we'll get a cameo. But based on

259
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: the amount that that was my thought process, based on

260
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: the amount of work they just got on the practice

261
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: field in that heat too, um, which wasn't quite as

262
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: bad as a lot of people I know that they

263
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: were saying, I think was the worst. The last day.

264
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: It actually rained for like a minute before we got there.

265
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: I know, it's weird, and there were some clouds so

266
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: that broke the heat funk. It would rain more in

267
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: Vegas during camp than the parties, and it's still hot

268
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: like to raining out and you're like, people get so

269
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: excited when it rains out there, but everything gets like

270
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: slick and it's it's it's kind of so do you

271
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: think that you'll see mac at all? I'm really that's

272
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: a that's my that's a big question. That's I mean,

273
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: that's really that's why I put it in the questions

274
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: of like, do you think they need it. I mean

275
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: I feel like I think they need it. Yeah, And

276
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: I just don't think this is it matter if he goes,

277
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: I think they'll play, you know, at all. I would

278
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: not play jude On. I just think he was a

279
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: standout through these practices. He was like Max Crosby was

280
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: on the other side. I mean Max Crosby talk about

281
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: another star. Um just watching him even warm up, getting

282
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: down on a four point stance, like popping out like

283
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: over and over and over. Um, you know, between him

284
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: and Chandler Jones on the two sides of that defense,

285
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: I think they've got some good pieces. But I think

286
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: jude On even uch was was good. But I just

287
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: lock up the guys. You can't afford to lose him.

288
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: I'd even say maybe John U. Smith, you know, just

289
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: some of those high end guys. I don't know, I

290
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: have no I have no problem if they don't choose

291
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: to play any of them. But if they do, give

292
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: him a cameo like last week, you know, and out,

293
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy yourself over there or try to as

294
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: best you can. Well, let's let's hop to the phone's

295
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: real quick. We are a Christian hanging on here, getting

296
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: in early Christian, let's go, Oh, where's my Sorry, I'm

297
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: I got it, Maddie. Just hang with me everybody today,

298
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: Hey Christian, what's up? Hey you guys. Well, just like

299
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: this morning right here on the radio, seems like we're

300
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: having technical difficulties with the team here a little bit.

301
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: I don't feel good and I don't feel good about

302
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: the offense. I feel good about the defensive front. Okay,

303
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's enough to win US games

304
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: at this point, but I just don't feel good. How

305
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: can you guys help me feel good about something? And

306
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: one more thing. A couple of weeks ago, when I

307
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: called him about James White's retirement, I made a comment

308
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: about Barry standards. I was not talking about his skill set, guy,

309
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: I was talking about the way he handles himself after

310
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown. Was his classy as a Barry standard? Gotcha?

311
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I mean,

312
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: the best I can do is tell you what I

313
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: said earlier. Of that, I think that, and I thought

314
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's comments were just interesting. Listen to him. Everybody

315
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: that the Boston media jumped in there. Thanks Christian. You

316
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: know it's h he you know, he just said, you're

317
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: trying to work on things that are hard. You're not

318
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: going out there doing what you do well. You're trying

319
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: to do the things that you're having trouble doing. And

320
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: he said, and you know, we're trying to make it

321
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: hard on them too. So I don't know, though, I

322
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: just I really don't know what to expect in Miami.

323
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: I have some hope that they're going to lean into

324
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: what they do well and as we said, like how

325
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: much can gain planning save? But but I'm not going

326
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: to sit here and tell you a couple of things.

327
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, on the surface, these are superficial

328
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: things because I have no idea what's going on in

329
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins camp as a whole. I know today evidently the

330
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: whole stool got the flu. Evidently everybody on my They

331
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: canceled practice today. Oh where Miami, Yeah, because they had

332
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: so many people that were sick. So Mike McDaniel ended

333
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: up canceling practice because he wants to make sure that

334
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: they can play in the game Saturday. So you know,

335
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: currently right now, things don't look so hot. But I

336
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: will say, on the surface, they're doing the same exact

337
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: thing you're doing. They're putting an entirely new offense in

338
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: and it's coincidentally the same offense that you're trying to implement.

339
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: So maybe they're not going to be quite ready either,

340
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, at the outside of the season. Yeah, because

341
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: it looks like right now to you a point, Mike,

342
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: I think they're going to probably gravitate toward the things

343
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: that they know that Mac is going to have success with,

344
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: and that's quick, short passes. Yeah, spread them out, get

345
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: them in the shotgun. We've seen teases of the RPO stuff,

346
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: which I mean, I do wonder what they're keeping under

347
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: wraps to to you know, to what extent, you know,

348
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: the all the outside zone stuff. But I think there

349
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: are probably elements that they're that they're keeping close to

350
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: the vest too, that they'll work on the next couple

351
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: of weeks. But I think it comes down to Judeon

352
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: and Barmore and Uche and those guys. I think those

353
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: guys have to be really good to keep opposing offenses

354
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: from you know, attacking their secondary. I mean, I think

355
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: the secondary is okay, but it's going to be the

356
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: key early in the season. They're gonna need the defense

357
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: to keep them in some games, yep, because I don't

358
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: think that they're equipped right now to getting a thirty

359
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: plus shootout, not from what we've seen in practice anyway.

360
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean there's there, certainly hasn't been the consistency. I'd

361
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: also point out to Damian Harris Scott. He left practice

362
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: yesterday and didn't return. So that's you know, Harris win

363
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: in Agalore. But when in Agalore came, they walked back,

364
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: They walked back into the thing. Yeah, he spoke, he

365
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: seemed fine, he said he was fine. He played Friday. Cramping,

366
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: that's what we were like, scramping, right, it's too hot

367
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: out cramps, you get cramps right, probably um when getting

368
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: the hand looked at though, So I don't know if

369
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: that was a new thing or a thing that was

370
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: related to what kept him out last week. Um, But

371
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think probably we can ask Evin about

372
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: it too, because he he did get a little bit

373
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: of the trench. Guys. Um, justin Haran not not not

374
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: great against Max Crossby. As you know, that's a tough

375
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: matchup for sure, But if your backup tackle against one

376
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: of the better pass rushers in football, probably shouldn't be

377
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: a great matchup. But doesn't you know. I'm not not

378
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: happy about it. No, And I also wonder how much

379
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: of an issue is the protection. I think that's what

380
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: people are glaumbing onto a little bit more so than

381
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: like the new offense being hard. One that I wanted

382
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: to ask you about, Alex. I don't know if you

383
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: read any of these things either, but they were talking

384
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: about how the you know, it was a little bit

385
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: better yesterday, the timing was a little bit better. And

386
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: then I'm looking at pretty much everybody's saying, well, you know,

387
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: a play that may have been a sack or um.

388
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: You know, some of the people actually compiled those stats

389
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: and they include sacks, but they deemed sacks and I

390
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: saw five sacks. Yeah, so it's like, you know, twenty

391
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: for twenty four with five sacks, and I'm like, well,

392
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: that ain't good. Like the three of the ball thirty

393
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: times and they got sacked five like that, that's not

394
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: really good. I mean, I don't know how they can tell.

395
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: It's so it's so hard to determine because I think

396
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: on one time in the two minute drill, it looked

397
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: like the pocket completely collapsed around Mac, which usually they

398
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: would have blown dead. But I mean he squirt it

399
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: out in a way that made me feel like nobody

400
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: really actually got a hand on him like that, and

401
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: they gave it to him, and some of the yeah,

402
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: and some of the write ups had that play sort

403
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: of included not as a sack, Yeah, like that. He

404
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: avoided pressure and scrambled. So it's hard and I was

405
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: mentioned into Paul. One of the things I enjoyed was

406
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: early in one of the eleven on eleven periods, I

407
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: was right next to the Raiders sideline so that you

408
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: could hear carmenber Solo everything he said to his offensive line,

409
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: which was just really interesting. I mean a lot of

410
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: it's so complex. I'm like, I don't I don't know

411
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: what the hell he's talking about right now, but you

412
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: could tell on some of the plays where because the

413
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: run plays are tough too, and should just ask Kevin Yeah,

414
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: I know, I don't even know if he knows, but uh,

415
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, it looked like, oh man, if they're running

416
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: into a crowd right there, where would he been tackled?

417
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: Would he have squirted through? I don't know, but it

418
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: was good because you could hear the offensive line coach

419
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: be like, no, no, no, we got blown up on

420
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: that where you're like, all right, that that wasn't good

421
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: play that check your note, bluck. I mean it was

422
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: it was cool. I mean, you don't really ever get

423
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: a chance to stand near the Patriots coaches. The other

424
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: thing that was fun yesterday was red zone one on ones,

425
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: which is just I mean, Hunter Renfrol good luck, like

426
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: he just open um. But Mike Pellegrino and Mick Lombardi

427
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: trash talk at each other like okay, those crappy routes

428
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: out of here, you know, like you know, like the

429
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: you know, a little John. But the thing that I

430
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: liked though about the overall practice is you could just

431
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: tell that there was a mutual respect between the teams.

432
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: There was no nobody was down on the ground, there

433
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: was no scuffles um, there was you know, limited taunting

434
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: and and and trash talking between the players. It's just

435
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: it seemed like over and Josh pointed out too in

436
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: his press conference, it's like two teams that understand we're

437
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: here to work and get better, and uh, you know,

438
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: to be honest, I came out of there kind of

439
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: feeling like I'm rooting for the Raiders a little bit,

440
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: you know, just like I just like that. I'm one

441
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: of the patriots. But that's but as far as the AFC,

442
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, West Coast, I mean, it's comprised of all guys.

443
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: It's hard, so it's hard not to It's like Jacob Johnson.

444
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: Everywhere you look, there's like a it's like, oh there's

445
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: Jermaine or Luminore who talk about issues. You have an

446
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: issue the kind of line. And I saw that. I

447
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: think the new I apologize the new the new writer

448
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: for the Athletic. Oh yeah, yeah, I met him, Chad,

449
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: Chad Graff, Okay, Chad. I happened to see an item

450
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: that he included in his in his round up that

451
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: he's sort of speculated. I think it was him. You know,

452
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: maybe you know what Dallas Isaiah Win talk about trade.

453
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you know the Raiders they have some cap space.

454
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: Maybe that would make sense. My initial daughter immediately yesterday

455
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: when the news of the Dallas situation with Tyren Smith,

456
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: he looks like he's gonna miss, if not the whole season,

457
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: close to it, and maybe you go to Dallas. Dalla

458
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: was always willing to throw money around. It's just so

459
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: tough because I don't know what you got behind him.

460
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: It's scary, it's it's that's what I don't understand, And

461
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: everybody is like completely ready to just say. And I'm

462
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: not the hugest Isaiah Winn fan. I think he's average,

463
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: but I think he's better than the guys that are

464
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: behind him. Yeah, you know, And I'm not a big

465
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: fan of well was he worth ten million dollars? Like? No,

466
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: is he better than the guy who will be playing

467
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: in his stead? That's the only thing that matters to me. Yeah,

468
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Like that is the only thing that that matters to me.

469
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Is is he better than Haran? Is he better? Thank

470
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: just or you know, is he better than a whin?

471
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: You at right tackle? And you could put Handbright at

472
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: left at right guard? But whoever? You know, we had

473
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: an ASPFW that I'm you know, just started working on

474
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: the mail back for next week. What about switching them

475
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: win in in a whin you Now, I haven't seen

476
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: Win take even a rep at guard, So I don't

477
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: know if Freddie's all pro guard ceiling or a basement. Actually, um,

478
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's in the offing. But I

479
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: just don't know if anybody behind Win is any better

480
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: than him. I feel the same way about the receivers,

481
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: like the people want to trade one of the receivers,

482
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: maybe less so now after, But I don't know what's now.

483
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: You know, um, you know Wilkerson Thorton obviously not there.

484
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Um and and you know it's just a little Jordan

485
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: getting opportunities. Didn't really do much in a couple of days.

486
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: I had a good one with Fred. Oh yeah, there's

487
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: a big little Jordan fan movement listening. I think I

488
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: think he has a chance to make the team now.

489
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: And I sort of talked about it a little bit.

490
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: I think, like, you know, someone said, you know, why not,

491
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, keep some of these guys that can play positions,

492
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: you know, instead of a Cody Davis or you know,

493
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: someone like that, why not keep a little joint humper.

494
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: I go, well, yeah, you could do that, I mean,

495
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: swapping one for one. But what do you mean he's

496
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: your fifth receiver. He's not playing over any of those

497
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: top four barring injuries, just like Cody Davis will not

498
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: play safety barring injuries to any of the top four,

499
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: maybe even five guys at safety. Yeah, I don't care.

500
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people seem like they want him to

501
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: play tight end though they're trying to speak it into existence.

502
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: But you know who started that, right? You don't watch

503
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: the preseason games? Huh, hurt feeling watch the preseason. I

504
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: don't get no time. I was informed that you do

505
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: wonderful to did that very well, That's exactly what I

506
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: told you to say things. That's right, So I did,

507
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: h stop. I did bring that up on the on

508
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: the show, and I was very very surprised, pleasantly so

509
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: to hear Bill sort of entertain it the next day

510
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: in his press conference that someone asked him about it. Yeah,

511
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, he has some tight end qualities

512
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, WHOA. I don't know if sometimes

513
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: you just pull them out. And it was too he

514
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: kind of spent some time on him. But my point

515
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: is he will not play wide receiver over the Big four.

516
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: He will not play tight end over Smith or Henry. Yeah,

517
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you he'll never get on the field

518
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: in those roles. But he's not going to be a

519
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: key l If he makes the team, it's going to

520
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: be as a reserve slash special teams player. And at

521
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: six to four, I think he offers more special teams

522
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: value in coverage and you know, traditional special teams, not

523
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: returner like Trey Nixon to me, is a return option.

524
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: Do you want him to return punts for you? Okay,

525
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: then go with him instead of Humphrey. If you want

526
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: someone who can cover, it's Humphrey. I mean he's got

527
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the much bigger frame. I think he's

528
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: much more physical and able to do some of those

529
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: things you've brought up. An interesting one, Paul, I just

530
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: want to point out, don't know if you caught it

531
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: in the block servations yesterday, but during they only had

532
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: a one punt punt period and Brennan Schooler was the

533
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: personal protector and Cody Davis was standing like not on

534
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: the sideline, but like in back with like Jack Bailey,

535
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: I think Cody Davis is a guy that could go.

536
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: And we've sort of thrown this out there a little

537
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: bit um to Marcus Mitchell. Another one is I think

538
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: he's a core four special teams guy in the preseason

539
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: and that's uh, you know, punt punt return, kickoff, kickoff return.

540
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: Those guys stay now. Cody Davis has been one of

541
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: those guys since he's been here. Ye. At some point

542
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: I think you look at those and you say, does

543
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: to Marcus Mitchell potentially have the ability to be a

544
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: defensive lineman and maybe in two years he can he

545
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: can be a contributor for us up front, whereas Cody

546
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: Davis does not have that potential. Yeah, that was secondary.

547
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: That was the cool thing because it was on the

548
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: field closest to us, so you could hear how much

549
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: that position entails. Like usually we'd be up on the

550
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, up on the rat up on the side

551
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: of the stadium, and you're like, oh, he's in there.

552
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: But like I could hear all the protection calls he's making.

553
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: You know, It's like you could get a full grasp

554
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: of like this is an important role. And there isn't

555
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: a lot of special teams periods that they're doing right now.

556
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: This is this is on purpose. They're going against a

557
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: live pump block team and they want to see if

558
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: this kid can identify and work with whatever new problem

559
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: they present. They're not running the Patriots pump block operation.

560
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: So I think that's definitely something that's something to consider.

561
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: And that's like, you know, the last three or four

562
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: spots that we we deem the last three or four

563
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they can go in a number of ways.

564
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: You know they can go in a number of ways.

565
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: You just don't know the kind. You know, the value

566
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: that they're looking for and exactly what you know. And

567
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: Bill always talks about you get young players and you

568
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: try to project you know, Cody Davis has probably at

569
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: a level that's much higher right now than Brendon School

570
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: or DeMarcus Mitchell. But is he going sort of horizontal

571
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: while the rookies are vertical and you have to sort

572
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: of extrapolate, well, when they're at the same experienced level

573
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: that Cody Davis, will they be at a higher level?

574
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: You know? And I used Cody Davis not because I'm

575
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: looking to kick him off the team. I'm just using

576
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: as a special team's example. Justin Bethel. A lot of

577
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: people have brought up same kind of thing. Yeah, I

578
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: think Bethel gives you a little bit more in terms

579
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: of value in an emergency. In the secondary. He's played

580
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: in the past and hasn't been terrible. He made a

581
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: huge play in the Dallas game if you recall not

582
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: going to pass in the end zone that ended up

583
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: getting intercepted. You sparked my memory too. One of the

584
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: one on ones yesterday. Evidently he got burned Mike has

585
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: this like devilish look on it was. It's just a

586
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: the rep pop back into my mind of like he

587
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: just kind of he just kind of gave up like

588
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: he was. Yeah. I mean it was such a like

589
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: double move that it wasn't even close. But you know,

590
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: I think it really hard, really hard things to do.

591
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: And another thing, Paul May, I should probably bring up

592
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: the Jalen Mills thing too, because I think that's a good,

593
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: good context thing. The first day of one on ones,

594
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: they're in the middle of the field and that was

595
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: when you just could see DeVante Parker. I'm sorry, I

596
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: wish it was DeVante Adams. Just that that that the

597
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: speed that he has, the size, the ability to catch

598
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: the ball anything close to him, Um, you know, and

599
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: and and Mills struggled. I mean, he had the whole

600
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: field to work with, so obviously it's it's a really

601
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: tough task for Mills. A lot of the narrative was then,

602
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: oh but day two, Mills back that, well, they moved

603
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: to like the five yard line, so there's much less

604
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: ground to cover, and it's still a handful. They were

605
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: still close. And I'll say, in Mills's defense, like a

606
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: good receiver should beat a good corner, you know, and

607
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: one on one more often than not. Yeah, it's that's

608
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: for sure. And you know the lack of space helped

609
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. But yeah, I'm sorry, I'm gonna

610
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: try to stop gushing over DeVante Adams. But she don't come.

611
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: It was it was it was striking who by the way,

612
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: funny side note, uh um Tamara and Uh. I think

613
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: she was with Emma. Maybe they had to like go

614
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: back into the Raiders facility. So everything you had to

615
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: do with the Raiders facility, you need an escort or

616
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: you get like the stink guy. Um, so they're getting

617
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: like escorted. They had to go do something. And I

618
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: think they were like waiting outside a door and I

619
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: call this guy just came up to us and was like, oh,

620
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: how you guys like in Vegas. You just gotta started

621
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: chating him up a little bit and uh and then

622
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: he leaves and then it light dawns on Tamara and

623
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Emma that it was DeVante Adams. It just like came

624
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: up and started chatting with them. She didn't even realize it.

625
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: So he's sneaky. He's sneaky. You wouldn't realize it. But uh,

626
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: yeah it was. It was impressive. But I still think

627
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: watching Hunter Renfer, I'm like, how do the Patriots not

628
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: have at least one of these kind of guys on

629
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: the roster, you know. And it's and no disrespect to

630
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: Jakobe because I think he had one of the best

631
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: best camps just a little bit one of the best camps. Sorry,

632
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: one of the best you know, two days out there.

633
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: But you know, the contrast was that when the Raiders

634
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: would make plays to Adams or Renfro, it was like,

635
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: that's not even close, Like he's open, the ball is there,

636
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: it's a catch, a tuck and a run. With the

637
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: Patriots good plays, it was what's going into traffic? Whoa

638
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: Jakobe came down? Whoa Hunter Henry came down with it?

639
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't like and again hard to tell,

640
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: like because you're looking through a sideline full of guys watching,

641
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: so you're just seeing little pieces. But that was the difference,

642
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: and that's why I didn't come out of the Yeah,

643
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: they were competitive in those final periods the last two days,

644
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: and they were able to stick a touchdown in and

645
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, that play to end with Hunter Henry,

646
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: like you could just feel the kind of I don't

647
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: want to say relief, but just like we did it,

648
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, like we kind of we had a good,

649
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: good end to to the practice again, the celebration, um,

650
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, it just it felt like a nice way

651
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: to kind of end things. But it wasn't It wasn't easy,

652
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was. It was close. I mean,

653
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: especially even on that Hunter Henry one, that one of

654
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: the dbs jumped a little too early. I mean he

655
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: might he might have picked it if he had time,

656
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: did a little bit better, So a little bit of caution.

657
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: But but still they put the ball in the end

658
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: zone when they were you know, when they were in

659
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: that I think they can get it to have some success.

660
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: So it's good that they finished on a high note. Certainly.

661
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: I want to jump over to some emails there. What

662
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: does Fred say there? There? Emails are stacking up, stacking up.

663
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: Why don't you read something? It's not can we do

664
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: that dance? Now? I haven't earned that yet, I haven't

665
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: feeling a little bad for you. Yeah, here's good. Tired

666
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: now I feel good. I feel I feel good. No good.

667
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I owe it to the listeners to

668
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: come in here and explain myself a good after the Tuesday,

669
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, like fresh were so confident in you that

670
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: we made Alex come in from from home. It was

671
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: almost the little the Paul and Alex show. Wait for

672
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: this three pm crash are about to have that. Oh

673
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm gonna jet after

674
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: this and and try to try to get some sleep

675
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: in preparation for because if they don't play the starters

676
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow and it's all back, I mean it's probably gonna

677
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: be back us by the second half. Anyway, the end

678
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: to that postgame show. I hope our kids good. I

679
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: hope he can keep me up and involved because he's

680
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: right there now. I think it's hardest working in in

681
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: show biz. But look, Adam Jones, let's jump to Michael

682
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 1: Egilar has an email coming in out. I don't think

683
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: McMillan is one the job next to Bentley. What are

684
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: the odds that mac Wilson takes that starting spot. He

685
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: was all over the field through preseason and looked decent

686
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: on pass coverage. Um, I think this is a good

687
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: email because it's been more kind of Gelati Tova than

688
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: mac Wilson. Which I'm not happy. Um. I think I

689
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: think it's troubling to a lot of people. I think

690
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: Tobay is like thoroughly average, like at least Mac mac wilson.

691
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: I can see the agility. I could see the mobility

692
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: of what they what they like in sub packages Um

693
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: and McMillan. I think they probably liked his experience in

694
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: his veteran set. He's out there a lot. He's out there,

695
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really see what is Gelanti Tavai.

696
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he feels like an early he feels like

697
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: what Bentley, you know, would have been just an early down.

698
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: Give me an example of my you know, and you'll

699
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably be like, I don't know how he

700
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: does it early in the early in the game. In

701
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: the Panthers game, it's like a you know, jag tight

702
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: end wearing like forty six or something. For the Panthers,

703
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: it comes down the scene to buys like three yards

704
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: behind them in Bay. They get like a thirty yard

705
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: play right down the right down. The guy was like

706
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: the only successful play the Panthers ran all night. And

707
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: I just I don't know what they see and to buy.

708
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what the fascination is now.

709
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: He feels like one of the special linebackers were trying

710
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: to get away from. But it's a special teamer. They

711
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: seem to like him. It's something to watch for sure.

712
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think everybody is like, got the fields

713
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: for Mac, but I also don't be I also don't

714
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: love the idea of Mac Wilson playing three downs, Like

715
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: at some point you need to have some guys out

716
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: there that can stand up to the run. It was

717
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: not kind of a Pfifer was like just kind of

718
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: a third down linebacker. Ohifer was much that. Yeah, I

719
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: just remembering that, Yes, Jack and Anna because wanted to

720
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: has Yanni just overtaken Justin Horan for the third tackle

721
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: spot on the depth chart with the Pats carried both

722
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: ca Justin Horan on the fifty three men roster. Giving

723
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: the histories of the Pats starting tackles, can the Pats

724
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: afford not to carry two backups? It's a good question.

725
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: I think they need both. Yeah, and I couldn't tell you.

726
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you who's better between. I mean, I

727
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: feel like they're similarly. They can justice played better in

728
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: the summer when they've gotten a chance, but you know, yeah,

729
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm not Dante. I still the most notable thing I

730
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: can remember about justin Haran this summer was trying to

731
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: run down that Kyle Dugger pick six like Matt had

732
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: like day two, and that was going like, look at

733
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: that big guy running down the field there. But that's

734
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: a good question, Jack. I think they need I think

735
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: they need both of them, and I'm not sure where

736
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: either of them are. But let's let's hop over to

737
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: the phones here for a second. And I got a Matt,

738
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: don't worry, Mat, I'm on it. I'm on it. I

739
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: got it, Matt from Ohio. What's up is it? Matt?

740
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: I did have, you know, in my final projection, for

741
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: what it's worth, I did have co justing in Iran,

742
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: both both making it. Yeah, let's jump over to Patty

743
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: from Agawa. On Patty, what's up going on? Everyone? Oh?

744
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: That's your your enthusiastic tone that down. Say I'm I

745
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: got the week off. I'm hanging out with my girls.

746
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: Say hi girls. Yeah, now I'm not going to that's okay.

747
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: Since training camp officially ended yesterday and we only got

748
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: one more, probably crappy preseason game left, I just wanted

749
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 1: to give my season prediction. I do think this team

750
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: can finish ten and seven. I think that's where I

751
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: sat last year. But I'm gonna hold off on saying

752
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: that they're gonna make the playoffs just because I think

753
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: if they don't end up with a winning record, you know,

754
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: at least four and two, if they can find it

755
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: a way to steal a game against Buffalo and hopefully winning,

756
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, win against Miami at home, I don't think

757
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: this team's gonna end up making the playoffs this yere Yeah,

758
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: but go ahead. I'm sorry, go ahead. Follow No, I

759
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: was just gonna say it wasn't me. I just feel

760
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm breaking under your breath. Did I enter

761
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: my best sound like an F bomb to me? No?

762
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: Oh No, I'm bracing for I'm just bracing for a

763
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: choppy start. Did you hear it too? I kind of yeah.

764
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: They usually they don't. They don't usually start offs all

765
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: that great. And I know that, you you know, the

766
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: first one or two weeks of the season, everybody makes

767
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: a big deal about every single team. You know, you

768
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: could have the Bucks go out and score forty five

769
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: points and everyone's gonna say it looks like they're going

770
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: back to the super Bowl. You know, the Patriots, who

771
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: historically played terrible in Miami, might lay you know, might

772
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: lay a lay an egg down there. And no one

773
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: overreacts over the Patriots performances, that's for sure. Yeah, right,

774
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: no one had them in the super Bowl when they

775
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: won seven in a row in the middle of the year.

776
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: That's true, right, I mean that mean that's the NFL

777
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: in general, is there's you're taking seventeen snapshots. It's a

778
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: it's a week to week proposition. So yeah, if Tampa

779
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: Bay goes out and looks just like they always have

780
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: despite their tumultuous training, ye here, Yeah, people are gonna

781
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: say that's a team that has the talent too, and

782
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: they look like they're primed and ready to go back.

783
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: If the Patriots go down to Miami and the offense

784
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: does not resemble what we've seen all summer and instead

785
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: it looks efficient and ineffective, yeah, people are gonna say

786
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: this team is better than we thought. That's that's what happens.

787
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: You get your overreactions based on one week. Yeah, and

788
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: you've got a perfect setup for an overreaction right out

789
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: of week one with a division opponent. It's always a

790
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: hard place to play, but they've made some great additions

791
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: this year with Tyreek. And it's also it's a lot

792
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: of like colliding um traditions, like you know, like Bill

793
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: generally performs well whenning going against the rookie coach, and

794
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: it's for you know, the first time, you know, uh,

795
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: those kinds of things, and yet you know, and then

796
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: but then you look at like the game against San

797
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: Francisco a couple of years ago with Mike McDaniels offense,

798
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: and then Patriots had no answers for it, you know,

799
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously different personnel, but still pretty good personnel

800
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: in Miami too. Thanks Patty, appreciate it. Let's jump back

801
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: to Matt from Ohio. Hey, Matt, you're back. What's up? Hey?

802
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: I'll hey you guys doing Hey. I just wanted to

803
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: touch on something to a couple of things actually that

804
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: Paul and Fred were talking about on Tuesday. M Paul,

805
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: you're definitely right about the broken collar bone aspects from Taikwon.

806
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna have no range of motion issues there.

807
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: I did. I broke my collarbone and tore my lab

808
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: room in the same shoulder, and I will I will

809
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: say that with the you know, obviously a likement, you

810
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: will have range of emotion issues. So I don't see

811
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: any issue with the collarbone for taiquon Um. But I

812
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: will say that I'm concerned with him being out and

813
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: hurting the offense. I was excited to see how he

814
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: was going to impact the offense and actually get some

815
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: separation from these dbats that we saw on camp. I mean,

816
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: unlike everybody else that we've we've thrown out there. I mean,

817
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: it's great to see that Ja Kobe is making these

818
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: great catches and whatnot, and uh bo Jordan Humphreys making

819
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: any fact shoulder catches are back sholder pads and stuff

820
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: like that. But I just don't understand why nobody can

821
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: get any separation. I mean that's just actually like pretty

822
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: alarming to me. I mean, what do you guys think, Yeah,

823
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: concern for me too, it is. And then that was

824
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: what was Thanks Chris or sorry, Matt's appreciate it. Uh

825
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's what with Adams and rentro It's just

826
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: that's what stands out and that's really exciting. I think

827
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: about Thornton, I did see separation. I thought he was

828
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: consistently open, and I think Aglare has gotten open consistently

829
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: and so quick too. I think he's he's the only

830
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: one of that group that really kind of pushes the pace.

831
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: But but Born, you know, like I think, you know, Parker,

832
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: I think is going to provide another element and listen,

833
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: it's something they didn't have last year. It's a it's

834
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: a receiver they didn't have last year that can play.

835
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: But he's not gonna wow you with like wow, did

836
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: you see that route that he created? Three yards of separation?

837
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be contested catches. It's going to be

838
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: your favorite plays, you know, and zone fades, That's what

839
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean. I think it was just seeing it what

840
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: it looks like after you know, for so long, just

841
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: watching drills where you know it's everything's kind of close,

842
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: you know, and to see finally plays that that aren't close,

843
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: and even when they were close to Adams, he's able

844
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: to come down with the ball with you know, you know,

845
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: one hand to catch one day. I mean, I mean,

846
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: it's the best receiver in the league by you know,

847
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: arguably so hoting how much you just gush, I'm sorry,

848
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: I gotta stop. I'm gonna try to get it all

849
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: out by one o'clock and then I'll be no more

850
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: mention of Davante Adams. But Chris writes in and I'm

851
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: sorry for this. Chris. After Tuesday's episode and listening to Mike,

852
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm honestly worried about this season. Obviously, I want to

853
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but I was more looking forward to

854
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: building off of last year and knowing that we have

855
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: players to build around. I'm just curious, curious to what

856
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: is the cause of the offensive struggles. Is it Mac

857
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: Jones struggling? Is that the receiver's not getting open? Is

858
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: a combination of it all? Just want your honest evaluation

859
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: because everything I see on Twitter, it's just negative and overwhelming. Um.

860
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, caveat is it's hard. It's

861
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: hard to break it down of like, all right, well

862
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: it's ten percent this and twenty percent. You know, it's

863
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a little everything. I think it starts

864
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: up front. I think they've had a hard time. They

865
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: haven't been able to run block at all, and they've

866
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: had a hard time protecting. I think that's why I

867
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: would start injuries with that whole Like the offensive line,

868
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: it's yeah, a rookie and a rookie offensive lineman too.

869
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I mean, I know that was

870
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: another thing. I mean, I think these are the guys

871
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: that are going to play like I think Strange has been,

872
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, a little up and down as a rookie,

873
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play. He's going to be a starting

874
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: left guard, so he's got to figure it out quickly.

875
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: And I do think the receivers have had a hard

876
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: time separating on a consistent basis. And I don't think

877
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: Mac has been great, no, but but I think overall,

878
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: generally when he has time, he seems to be able

879
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: to get the ball where I'm going to give you

880
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: the answer that I do. When he originally said that

881
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: it was just like two wednesdays ago. Now, I mean,

882
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: show me the quarterback that's not consistently good when he

883
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: has time. Yeah, you gotta be right. If you can't

884
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: do it when you have time, you can't do it. Yeah.

885
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: I just I just want to make it easier on him.

886
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's what the Thornton part of it is.

887
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: And you know, as as much as or Henry and

888
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: jon I Smith can do, it's you know, they're not

889
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: dynamic threats. It's they're they're good, solid tight ends, but

890
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: not like to the point where, oh man, this these

891
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: are guys are going to kill us today. You know.

892
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: It's just it's they'll come down with some contested catches,

893
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: but I don't think that they're gonna have the kind

894
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: of you know, just go back to this like separation stuff.

895
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's just it's not it's not there.

896
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: I do think they'll be able to move the ball.

897
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: I just I think for me though, the big element

898
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: is like can they just run the ball? You know,

899
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: like like what does the real run game look like?

900
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: And then that might that start I worry about the most.

901
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: The running game has been so bad in the summer,

902
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: and I I like, I shuddered to think what the

903
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: offense would look like without being able to run it,

904
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: because last year it was all running game, and if

905
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: they can't run it at all and it's all on

906
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: the passing game now, I worry about the protection and

907
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: all that. And it's not even hyperbole, like we really

908
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: haven't seen a single day. I mean I wasn't in Vegas,

909
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: but I didn't read very good things about the Running game.

910
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: It's just always look like handoff and just a clump

911
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: of guys. Yeah, you know, and and and to be honest,

912
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense did a pretty good job on the

913
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: other side of the ball too with those kind of plays.

914
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: I thought yesterday the Raiders found a little bit more

915
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: room and the Patriots did find some room. Ramander Stevenson

916
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: had you know, some extended reps because Damian Harris was out.

917
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: So but I just think if you're able to get

918
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: out and I hate saying established the run, but you know,

919
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: if you're able to run the ball a little bit,

920
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: it just it. It gets the pass rushers off, it

921
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: gets you know, it's just and then it starts to

922
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: fall into place. And I really think that how they've

923
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: drafted with Harris and Stevenson, we haven't seen anything really

924
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: out of the other Harris and strong yet. Curious to

925
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: see what they do and if anything, tomorrow night. But

926
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: with the way they built it, it seems like they

927
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: have a concerted effort to have a strong run game

928
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: that you know, you can that you can rely on,

929
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: the can be an engine for the offense. And maybe

930
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: that's part of the struggles too, is just not being

931
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: able to you know, get into that kind of mode.

932
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: H did you Dan from a VA in Michigan, Virginia, Michigan?

933
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you, Dan. Well, how long

934
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: I've been doing the show? Three years and he's been

935
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: right in? Yeah, struggle stupid baby, Gooday. A p U crew,

936
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: the Major's team plane was spotted flying out of the

937
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: airport here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Do you know why

938
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: aircraft one was over here in my neck of the woods.

939
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't know if it was going

940
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: to hang out in Vegas and wait for us, but

941
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: apparently it's still making the round. So I did have

942
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: my maiden voyage on the aircraft, which was pretty cool

943
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: from what you've seen it. Joined practices. How does the

944
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: Raiders offense under McDaniels compare to pass Patriots offenses under him?

945
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: How does the McDaniels o revise for Derek Carr compared

946
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: to the new system being implemented by the Patriots. Well,

947
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: I would just say, Dan, it's hard to tell exactly

948
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: because I didn't see a lot of them using Jacob

949
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: Johnson the fullback kind of stuff. And it's like you

950
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: have Demante Adams and there enter Renfro like he can

951
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: move those two guys around. I mean that that essentially

952
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: seems like what the offense is right now is just

953
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: using those guys, putting them in a variety of different

954
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: spots to get matchups. And the other guy that stood

955
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: out for them was mac Hollins. Do you remember him

956
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: at all, Paul mac Hollins, Miami. Yeah. Yeah, he's kind

957
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: of that the third guy right now without Waller, but

958
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: he's a big receiver. He was playing a lot for them.

959
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: I was kind of one of the guys. I was

960
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised they have just Adams and Renfro

961
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: and then mac Hollins is the third. I mean he

962
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: was the one that happened to like Brian Edwards and

963
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean as far as like the plays, that's a

964
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: good question with Brian Edwards now zuber Zubers eighty nine now,

965
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: um yeah, I mean it's it's I mean, Dylan's stoner.

966
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, mac Collins was one that kept popping up

967
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: as and he was another one that they brought. Then

968
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: they have a lot to the interview on Adams to

969
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: stay healthy then, because that's not a great receivering group

970
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: if they look because when Waller always battles injuries. But

971
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: and and and Josh was asked a little bit about

972
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: this too, and you know, just saying it's about the personnel.

973
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: And I mean every year you change, and you know,

974
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean I made a kind of a Paul joke

975
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: on the sidelines during during the practice, I turned to

976
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: to the to the be reporters and I said, Josh

977
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: might not even need to have a wide receiver throw

978
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: it past this year. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

979
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: That's a Paul like joke. He might actually be able

980
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: to school without the wide receiver doing it for him.

981
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I couldn't. I couldn't help myself. You guys know,

982
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: I was in I was in a dark place there. Um.

983
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: But but you know, that's that's what it is. I mean,

984
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: I think, you know, every year everything kind of change

985
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: a little bit. But he's you know, he said. The

986
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: way Josh put it was like, look, there are things

987
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: they're doing that I recognize. There are things doing that

988
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: I that I haven't seen before. Just like we're doing

989
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: things that I'm sure they recognize. And we're also doing

990
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: things I said that he talked about, we have some

991
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: new things that we're doing too, and they're gonna have

992
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: to do because you're not going to go into the

993
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots certainly just rolling out the exact

994
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: offense that you always ran for the Patriots. The other

995
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: thing I said was funny was on one of the

996
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: drills he said, we called, we called, like an audible

997
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: from the sideline, and the Patriots sideline heard it and

998
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: recognize that. They all started yelling out what I heard.

999
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: I heard. There was a lot of that going on. Yeah,

1000
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 1: the Patriots players knowing what was coming. Yeah, somehow still

1001
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: couldn't stop rights. But it does go kind of both ways.

1002
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: One of the questions I kind of had was like,

1003
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: did the Patriots just gett out class or do you

1004
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: think there's an aspect a little bit with Josh just

1005
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: really knows this whole team really well. Yeah, I mean

1006
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: and I think that. I mean, Josh he was super

1007
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: complimentary of Mac, but I think he does he knows

1008
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: the ins and outs of it. I mean, he said,

1009
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: this is the offense I've been in my whole my

1010
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: whole career. You know, even I didn't even realize when

1011
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: he said when he was with the Rams in twenty

1012
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: eleven that Spagnolo let him just kind of run his

1013
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: offense there too, you know. So, I mean, I just

1014
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: change was inevitable, and I think you can't really fault

1015
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots for doing this whole offensive reset. I just

1016
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: think you can question the methodology and the personnel that

1017
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: they're using to coach and install that. Um, I think

1018
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: that that that's fair game. But I don't. I don't.

1019
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: I think they had to do something like this to

1020
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: you know, kind of hit the reset button around Mac.

1021
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: I wish maybe they had done it last year. It's

1022
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: hard to tell, you know, Josh to parse down his

1023
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: extensive playbook that he built up. But um, you know,

1024
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: just like like he said, though, I'm sure he built

1025
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: things around Mac last year that were, you know, new

1026
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: things that helped the offense as well. Let's go to

1027
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: Andre from New Jersey. Andre is not feeling good about

1028
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: his bet then he made with you, Paul. He said,

1029
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: he made a bet with you guys, Patriots will win

1030
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: ten or more games this season, and if that happens,

1031
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: Paul is going to get me tickets for next season.

1032
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: But I'm slowly losing confidence this season, reason being the

1033
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: inconsistency of the offense. I'm going to take his word

1034
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: for it. But I do not remember betting about ten games.

1035
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't remember that bet either. I remember betting somebody,

1036
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: but not I don't remember betting ten games. Like, I

1037
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: don't think ten games is completely out of the REMA possibility.

1038
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: It's not about you would have made And I'm saying

1039
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: that after a terrible training camp, like I'll take his

1040
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: word for it and I'll honor it. But I don't

1041
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: remember saying they will not win ten games. I don't

1042
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: remember saying that. Andre asked also neither think he's worried.

1043
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: You might roll your eyes at this, but go Bill Gill,

1044
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 1: give a call to Mike Vrabel and see if Taylor

1045
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: Luan is available for a trade. Titans did draft to

1046
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: tackle high in the draft, so Bill give McCall and

1047
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: moved TRMP Brown on the right back to the right

1048
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: side to saw the tackle issues there. I don't know

1049
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: how much Taylor Luan. I like Taylor Luan. I think

1050
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: he's got I don't know. I had a rough year

1051
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: last year. I'm not rolling my eyes. I'm I'm asking, like,

1052
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: if if he's starting, like, why would they trade him?

1053
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: That would be my question. I have to check with Titans.

1054
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: Unfiltered on that one. Yes, I'll I'll look at that

1055
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: all right. Paul's pizzas here everybody, So that means it's time.

1056
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: We got to take a break, So we will be

Speaker 1: time and time again. We are the home field advantage.

1211
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: Bank of America is proud to be the official bank

1212
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots and stand with them as

Speaker 1: they defy the odds. Copyright twenty twenty, Bank of America Corporation,

1214
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: and now great moment in history. Right If they didn't

1215
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: have joint practices, I think this three would be a three.

1216
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: Do you know the difference between a joint and a

1217
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: blunt and a spliff? I heard I heard a little

1218
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: talk today. I didn't know what a blunt was. I

1219
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: had to I had to have it explained to me.

1220
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm I don't know if I did a

1221
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: blunt of rolled cigarette. Oh, it's all rolled cigar. Joint

1222
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: is in table. The spliff is a mixed tobacco and weed,

1223
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: is it not? Like and a gentleman that's what he

1224
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: makes himself, a nice fifty fifty mix. Now is it

1225
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: is pronoun it's a spliff? Sliff? Yeah? I always I

1226
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: don't know why I thought it was screezed bliff. If

1227
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: you want to pronounced spliff spliffy? Now now was I

1228
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: understand it? Matthew, Um, it's pronounced spliff? That is that correct? Yeah? No,

1229
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: I did. I learned a little something today listening to

1230
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: Hardy and our kids. But the blunt is marijuana, pot

1231
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: dope as as you would as you would acquire and

1232
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: enjoy it. But the blunt itself is actually is the role?

1233
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Into back? What about the chronic chronics?

1234
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: The type of marijuana? I mean I lived in California?

1235
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: What about the white widows? What is that? Now? Okay,

1236
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: we go, we gotta shoot the postgame. This is the

1237
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: best part. This is what people stay up for. The

1238
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: guy in UK still what listening? It's six o'clock in

1239
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: the morning. Man, Why are here to provide a service?

1240
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: What is the stickiest of the inche? I need to know?

1241
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: What about the chronic That's another great moment from There's

1242
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna be probably more of that tomorrow night. I'm guessing

1243
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: more more nonsense talk. Sorry about that. It's gonna be

1244
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: worse be had radio fomo like I do right now?

1245
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 1: For that click? Oh, I was like just wide eyed

1246
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: of like did we really? That was it about? What's blunt.

1247
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: I would say that was about twelve thirty am last Friday, well,

1248
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. Yeah, I mean that's all. That's all I've

1249
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: been thinking of all week is Uh, it's just about

1250
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: what what life's gonna be like there on those late hours.

1251
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: But let's bring in my my cohort from Vegas, mister

1252
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: Evan Lazar. He he left, he got left behind. He's

1253
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: back there in Vegas still. But hey, what's what's going

1254
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: on here today? For for your Thursday? I know you

1255
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: have you kind of a day off a little bit, Yeah,

1256
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a day off school. Slow morning,

1257
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: that's nice, and then we'll get into the game tomorrow.

1258
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: It's good to see that you got back safely though, Mike.

1259
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: That's good to hear. Yeah, it was. It was painful though,

1260
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: baby baby crying, baby, whole flight one am to five am.

1261
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: It was. It was pretty miserable. Um, but I'm here

1262
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: and apparently I dropped an F bomb, which Joey from

1263
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Texas writes in and said he heard the F bomb.

1264
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people I'm gonna have to

1265
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: take plead the fifth on that one. Uh, But have

1266
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: you know that we talked about this a lot on

1267
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: the on the on the camp cast, and I posed

1268
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: it kind of at the top of the show, was

1269
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: that the question of, you know, how much can the

1270
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: Patriots game planning, you know, save them. We've heard so

1271
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: much about we're working on fundamentals, We're just about one

1272
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: on ones there, you know that, what's your what's your

1273
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: take on it? You know you were, you were out

1274
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: there at the practice. It just like I was, I mean,

1275
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: just give us your your overall kind of takeaways from

1276
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: from everything you saw, which of course you wrote about

1277
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: and you can check it out on Patriots dot com too.

1278
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: Nice plug. Yeah, I think that overall, defensively, I feel

1279
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: like they're still in a good place. And when we

1280
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: get here in Vegas in December and you see Davante

1281
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: Adams and you see Hunter Renfro, I'm sure that Bill

1282
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Belichick and the Patriots coaching staff will have a plan

1283
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: in place that was better than may see what we

1284
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: saw and practice on Tuesday at times, certainly better yesterday.

1285
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: But like you said, it's it's not a game planning situation.

1286
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of eleven on eleven, one on ones

1287
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: across the field basically, and fundamentals and technique and all

1288
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So I do think that there

1289
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: is something to be said for the game plan angle. Offensively,

1290
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: the biggest worry that I have now after watching all

1291
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: of training camp and concluding here in Vegas, is well,

1292
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: what is the couple of things that they're good at, Like,

1293
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: what is their offensive identity? What can they hang their

1294
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: hat on and say when we absolutely need to put

1295
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: together or drive this is what we're going to be

1296
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 1: and this is what we're going to do. And Mac

1297
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: Jones said it yesterday after the practice that they're still

1298
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: searching for that answer a little bit. And I know

1299
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: Patriots seems in the past have gone deep into the

1300
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: season and figured that out towards the end, like in

1301
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen when they discovered the twenty one personnel with

1302
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the fullback in the backfield and things like that. But

1303
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: I just wonder if they're going to go away from

1304
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: some of the under center stuff that we've seen this

1305
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: summer and be more of a spread team, because it

1306
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: does feel like when they get into the two minutes,

1307
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: when they spread the field and they let mac Jones

1308
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: just direct the show, it looks a lot smoother than

1309
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: when they had. We're trying to go under center and

1310
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: run the book ball and play action and all that

1311
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. To me, the answer to that question

1312
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:05,919
Speaker 1: is throw short passes to the backs in the flat.

1313
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: That's to me the only thing they've been consistently successful

1314
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: at times. I mean in Montgomery Stevenson, you know, you know,

1315
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: quick stuff in the flat. Even some of the stuff

1316
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: to wide receivers it's like, you know, quick too, you know,

1317
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,919
Speaker 1: two yard outs to you know, Myers and and yeah,

1318
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: Thornton caught a ton of those two you know, shallow crosses.

1319
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: That that's what they've been good at. Well. We talked

1320
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: to Evan about about Montgomery, and I mean, you know,

1321
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: I know you you kind of went off, not went

1322
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: off on him, but you know, just kind of talking

1323
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: about him. I mean, well, what did you see from

1324
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: Montgomery here over the last you know, week or so.

1325
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: It seems like he's continues to rise in in in

1326
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: his role. Yeah. I think a lot of US Patriots

1327
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: fans as well want to see reminder Stevenson, Damian Harris

1328
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: take on a much larger role in the passing game

1329
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: and have somebody who's really a three down bacterback out

1330
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: of the backfields, as the Patriots have been so situational

1331
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: with how they've used their running backs in recent years.

1332
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: But when you watch Time Montgomery, he's clearly the most

1333
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: natural fit in the James White role. He's somebody that

1334
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: I think, in particular, gets out of the backfield really

1335
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: quickly and gets into the flat with a lot of speed,

1336
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: and I think that's difficult for linebackers to keep up with,

1337
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: especially if the linebacker is starting in the middle of

1338
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: the field and he's got to track them all the

1339
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: way into the flat. That's the foot race that Time

1340
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Montgomery has consistently won. He beat Jayon Brown in eleven

1341
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: on elevens yesterday to the pylon and that exact type

1342
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: of situation. And Jayon Brown is a pretty athletic linebacker.

1343
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: I would consider him more in the coverage vein of

1344
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: things at that linebacker position, and he was able to

1345
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: beat him out of the backfield a couple of times

1346
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days. The other thing about

1347
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Montgomery that I think would be an interesting wrinkle is

1348
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: that he can line up in different spots and you

1349
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: can flex him out wide and you can run him

1350
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: ou out of the flat and out of the backfield,

1351
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: which it allows them to play with formations and maybe

1352
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: attack defenses a little bit differently with him on the

1353
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: field because he can give some different looks. Maybe he

1354
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: starts out wide and then motions into the backfield or

1355
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: vice versa, and that kind of changes the equation and

1356
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: gives the Patriots a little bit of a better look

1357
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of what the defense is doing. So I think that

1358
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: those are the cool things that you can do with him.

1359
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: That makes him a little bit more versatile than some

1360
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: of the guys that they've had in that role in

1361
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 1: the past. So I don't know if he's going to

1362
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: come in and be the most dynamic guy, you know

1363
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: after the catch, or be some big explosive playmaker, but

1364
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: I do think that they can do some interesting things

1365
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: with him in terms of his versatility, and I do

1366
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 1: think that he's reliable coming out of the backfield on

1367
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: those checkdowns or places the flat. Now, you had your

1368
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: keen eye yesterday trained on the trenches, and you know,

1369
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: one of the things we were talking about here at

1370
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: the top of the show was trying to figure out

1371
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: what's really going on with the offensive line. Who you know,

1372
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: is Haran could just I mean, you know, is Trent

1373
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: Brown settled in? I mean, just you know, overall, from

1374
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 1: what you kind of saw yesterday, I think you had

1375
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: as good of a lookout it as anybody. Um. Starting

1376
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: with the offensives. I'd love to hear your take on

1377
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: the defensive side too. But but you know, what, did

1378
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: you what have you kind of come away with with

1379
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: these offensive line, especially the backup guys. I feel like

1380
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: that's just a huge question. I have no idea who's

1381
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: the who's the swing tackle, who's the swing interior guard.

1382
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's hard to tell with what the

1383
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: depth looks like. Yeah, the odd thing about the offensive

1384
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: line to me is that I was tracking OH line

1385
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: D line one on one for the Patriots offensive line

1386
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: yesterday and I circled quite a few winners for the Patriots.

1387
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah Wynn went up against Max Crossby a couple of

1388
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: times and held his own for the most part against Crosby.

1389
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Trent Brown had some good matchups against Chandler Jones, who's

1390
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: obviously no slouch either. And are they battled with those

1391
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: guys for the Raiders. And the Raiders have some good rushers,

1392
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: so it's not like a you know, guys that are

1393
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: not going to be impact players on Sundays. And I

1394
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: think the interesting thing is is that the pads, when

1395
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: you get into one on one, they look pretty good,

1396
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,439
Speaker 1: like they look serviceable, they look like they can block.

1397
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: But then when you get into the team drills and

1398
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: it's five on five or you know, five man unit

1399
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: for the offensive line, there's breakdowns. So I don't think

1400
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: that it's that they can't block or that they have

1401
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: bad offensive linemen. It's just the five man unit is

1402
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: not gelling together at the level that you would like

1403
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: to see. I don't think this is totally uncommon, and

1404
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: reading some things that you see about other teams in

1405
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: training camp and things like that, when you are only

1406
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: in Josh McDaniel said it yesterday, the Raiders are still

1407
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: in single digits in terms of padded practices, so there's

1408
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: not a ton of work in pads yet for these linements.

1409
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: It's the position that is probably a little bit slower

1410
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: to gell here than maybe some of the other positions

1411
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: where mini camp you can still pass and really go

1412
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: through routes and concepts and things like that. It coverages

1413
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, but when you

1414
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: get into the wrenches, it really is those padded practices

1415
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: in games. That's that's really the only thing that you

1416
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: can do to get ready and kind of come together

1417
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: as a unit. So maybe that will help them. But

1418
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: like I said, it's it's the five man units seeing

1419
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: things through the same set of eyes and getting everybody

1420
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: blocked and not necessarily that you know, there's a weak

1421
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: link or these individual guys can't play or something like that.

1422
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a really interesting dynamic. There's a backup.

1423
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I think that what I've seen this summer from Justin

1424
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: Horan has given me some pause. I know there's those,

1425
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,799
Speaker 1: you know, some rumors out there, but Isaiah Win possibly

1426
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: being on the trade block, and I don't know if

1427
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm ready to trust Justin Hran or Yanni could just

1428
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: with a starting role. I think both of those guys

1429
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: are serviceable backup. It looks to me like maybe Heran

1430
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 1: has a little bit of an edge over could just

1431
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 1: right now and the coach's eyes. But at the same time,

1432
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: Haran has been out of practice for a little bit,

1433
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: so maybe they just want to get him some work

1434
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: that to just had when Haran was out. I think

1435
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: that the interior guys look at Arleys and Hambright's been

1436
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: a guy we've talked about a little bit, and he

1437
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 1: still looks pretty solid to me. He can play guard,

1438
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: he can play a little bit of tackle. If they're

1439
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: going to be more zone heavy, he can. He's a

1440
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: pretty athletic guy. He can get out of his dance

1441
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: and make box on the move. Will Sherman's come on

1442
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 1: a little bit lately. He's been solid in that backup guard,

1443
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, kind of interior role for the last couple

1444
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 1: of days. And I am interested in the rookie case

1445
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: in Hines. I thought his tape against Carolina was pretty

1446
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: solid in the running game. So he's also somebody that

1447
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced a ton, but maybe he can come on

1448
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 1: here in the last couple of days of camp. So

1449
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: one thing that you talked about their Evan about the

1450
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: line sort of being behind because of the lack of physicality,

1451
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: which makes perfect sense. But I want to flip that

1452
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: to the other side of the ball, where I think

1453
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: people are, you know, around here. You guys were in

1454
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: Vegas all week. There seems to be a little bit

1455
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: of a ground swell developing about the defense and about

1456
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,879
Speaker 1: their ability to maybe you know, get after the quarterback

1457
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 1: based on what they've seen in training camp practices and

1458
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: some of the joint practices and whatnot. Do you sort

1459
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: of temper that enthusiasm a little bit because of the

1460
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: same reason. That's a good point. I haven't really thought

1461
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: about it like that. I do think that there's a

1462
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 1: lot to like about what the Patriots have done up front,

1463
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,600
Speaker 1: and this Raiders line has some weak links to it.

1464
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: They have some good players. To Colan Miller, their left

1465
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: tackle is a really good left tackle, but they're still

1466
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure out their position at right tackle in

1467
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: a similar place as the Patriots. Dallas Leatherwood from Alabama

1468
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: was drafted to be the right tackle for the long

1469
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 1: term here as the Vegas by the last regime, and

1470
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: he's been kind of a draft bus so's. They're kind

1471
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: of in a similar situation with their line, So maybe

1472
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,759
Speaker 1: there is some of that. I do think so. Judean,

1473
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: first of all, he looked great, because these last two days,

1474
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: he looked great against Karen On and the Joy practices

1475
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: last week. He to me, I we'll see if he

1476
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: ends up playing at all tomorrow. I'm good with Matthew

1477
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: Judon sitting this one out and we'll see you in Miami.

1478
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Like he looks like he's ready to go for the season,

1479
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: and he was great yesterday, And there's always it seems

1480
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: like in a two or three place dequence, he's batting

1481
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: a pass down at the line of scrimmage and he's

1482
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:25,560
Speaker 1: getting pressure on the quarterback. He was everywhere yesterday. I

1483
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: think the guy that's the X factor. You know, we

1484
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: knows Christian Barmore. We hope at least it's going to

1485
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: have that second year leap, and everything points to the

1486
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: fact that he's going to do that. So I think

1487
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: the big time X factor for the Patriots is josh

1488
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: uj who can't afford this season to fade down the

1489
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: stretch like he has in his first let's call it

1490
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: two years, but really last year was the big one.

1491
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 1: We saw josh uj have a great summer last year.

1492
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 1: He looked great in training camp. He was getting after

1493
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Same thing this summer, but without Kyle van Noy,

1494
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: without Dante hide town Hour, without Jamie Collins, they need

1495
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: josh Uja to put it together for an entire season

1496
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,600
Speaker 1: and be a big part of what they're going to do,

1497
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: especially on passing down because when he's on, and he's

1498
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 1: in there with Dudon and Barmore and Dietrich Wise and

1499
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: maybe Juan Bentley or one of the inside linebackers in

1500
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: more of a blitz role. Their pass rush package can

1501
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: be really, really effective. But if you take Uja out

1502
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,600
Speaker 1: of that and he's either fading down the stretch or

1503
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 1: injured again, or whatever the case may be, it does

1504
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: change things a lot because I don't think that they

1505
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: have another incusher that really has that type of first

1506
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 1: step that uj has on this roster. I think Anthreny

1507
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 1: Jennings is at a good summer, but I don't think

1508
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: that he's really that type of player. So it's interesting

1509
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: with Duche because he's kind of the one that Diaphone

1510
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: did on. At this point, they need him this upward

1511
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:57,639
Speaker 1: trajectory otherwise I think that that pass rush package looks

1512
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 1: a lot different. All right, Evan, Well, we'll let you

1513
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: enjoy your rest of your day off, and he plans

1514
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: to cross the waste land back to in and Out.

1515
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: I'll probably hit up in and Out one more time.

1516
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 1: There is a rumor going around that we might make

1517
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: a trip out to the Hoover Dam this afternoon, which

1518
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: would be very cool, So I'm looking forward to that

1519
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 1: sounds fun. Well, Hey, have have fun, safe travels back

1520
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: and enjoy the game. Thanks Mike, all right, we'll talk

1521
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: to you. I wonder if he took like a single breath,

1522
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: you can go no. But well, the reason I am like,

1523
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: because I do think that we tend to listen. We're

1524
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 1: Patriots dot com, so of course that's the way we

1525
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: look at it. But you know, we're sort of explaining

1526
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 1: away the blocking problems, and I think Evans one percent right,

1527
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: I think that you typically see that, especially now with

1528
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: the way that there's been all these adjustments to practice

1529
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: time and whatnot. It's hard to be as physical as

1530
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: you're going to be right right away. But at the

1531
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: same time, we're and I've fallen into this. I can

1532
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: remember doing this U as far back as like twenty eleven,

1533
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, when like you sweep your own problems under

1534
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the rug, like you know, Drard Mayo was blitzing up

1535
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: the middle and Andre Carter off the edge like these

1536
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,759
Speaker 1: guys I think Andy picked him to win Cold Defensive

1537
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. Um, and we're just like, they're

1538
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: gonna be unbelievable in the pass rush. And then you know,

1539
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: the season starts and you're like, oh, so when I'm

1540
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: in a blocking now, oh, you know, like they kind

1541
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: of catch up and you don't get as much pressure

1542
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,679
Speaker 1: on the passer. And Evans said it, he goes people

1543
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: with Gaga this time last year over josh Uja because

1544
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,680
Speaker 1: he was running around guys who really weren't hitting him.

1545
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: You know, can he do that on a consistent basis

1546
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Matthew Judeon was, you know, a

1547
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: really good pass rusher from most of last season. He

1548
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: certainly tailed off josh Uja. To me, this is unfair, okay,

1549
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: But josh to me is the guy when they're beating

1550
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 1: the Jets thirty seven to three, He's gonna get back

1551
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: to back sacks in the third quarter close it out.

1552
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna you know, just you don't that.

1553
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Don't even think about it. Zach Wilson, You're not gonna

1554
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: put together any come back today, you know, but like

1555
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 1: on third and four against Buffalo down six and you

1556
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: need to get off the field to give your offense

1557
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 1: the ball back. I don't have that confidence. Yeah, he's

1558
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: kind of a one trick pony, and I mean he

1559
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: is I think pretty good at that one trick, which is,

1560
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, speedbrush, but he just doesn't really have the

1561
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 1: size of the weight to power through guys. I think

1562
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: once you know, certainly Trent Brown gets his hands on him,

1563
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: guys like that, it's it's kind of over pretty quick.

1564
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 1: But I do agree with the general sentiment of Ooja

1565
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: Jennings one of those guys. But don't you feel like

1566
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 1: there's been sort of like this I don't know, attitude

1567
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: that's sort of developing about the defense. Maybe they're a

1568
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: lot better than we thought, and you know, they're gonna

1569
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: be so much faster and they're gonna be blitzing and

1570
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: the aggressiveness. Okay, I mean some of those elements might

1571
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: be true, But why are we why are we like

1572
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 1: explaining away the problems protecting the passer while not using

1573
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: those same explanations as to why you might be getting

1574
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: more pressure on the passer. Yeah, Like, if you're behind

1575
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: because you can't block and you can't have physicality at

1576
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: practice your offensive line, doesn't it stand the reason that

1577
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: everybody's offensive line is behind. But yet, you know, the

1578
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Patriots are flashing all this pass rush in the preseason,

1579
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: and people like it's gonna be a different defense, Like,

1580
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 1: why are we not worried about the Panther's offensive line

1581
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: not being up to speed yet? Yeah? You know they

1582
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: had a rookie out there who looked lost the other

1583
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: day with the backups, a Quantu. You know, I'm sure

1584
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: he's a top ten pick. I'm sure he's going to

1585
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: be a good player. He looked nowhere near ready to

1586
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 1: play in that preseason game. Right. Why isn't oocha like

1587
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 1: toyed with him on back to back plays? Yeah? And

1588
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: I also, I just I feel like I'm having trouble

1589
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: trusting again after last year, having trouble trusting his last relationships,

1590
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: trusting getting a kick out. I got, I got lulled

1591
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: into a false sense of security last year of of

1592
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, the start, and the same thing for the

1593
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 1: last two years. And so I think once that trust

1594
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 1: has been broken, I feel like I'm having a conversation

1595
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: we've built up break up. Now my confidence is broken

1596
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 1: in this relationship, you know. I just I I have

1597
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: no expectation and and it's it just goes back to

1598
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: I think the bigger point of what do we really

1599
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: know from preseason? What does it really tell you? Can

1600
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 1: you ever look back at like the greatest Patriots teams

1601
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: and look at their preseason and be like, yep, it

1602
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: was right there, It was right there in front of us.

1603
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, probably the best example of Z seven, right,

1604
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: like opposite ends of the spectrum, right Like, wasn't that

1605
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: weren't they winless in that preseason? If I remember correct,

1606
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea, like I don't, but again I couldn't.

1607
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: What does it mean I couldn't tell you the result

1608
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 1: of a preseas seriously, And also like what is Bill

1609
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: allowing them to work on that we're going to be

1610
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: able to see anyways? Like he's probably just counting down

1611
01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: the minutes until the next practice where media is allowed.

1612
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: I thought about asking him that question of like a

1613
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: just you know, a delicate way of saying, how much

1614
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: do you enjoy having the media out of your practice

1615
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 1: or having eyeballs out of your practice so that you

1616
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: can finally just kind of do what you want to

1617
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: do and not really have to worry about, oh, this

1618
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: might get out or if I put this guy here,

1619
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna say it, you know, Like I'm sure he's

1620
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: going to relish these next couple of weeks and be

1621
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 1: able to really do, which I hope, Like I said

1622
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 1: at the top, move into the strings. Let's look at

1623
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: the total total totality. Totality, totality made that up. Look

1624
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: at the totality made up? No, no, oh man, I

1625
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: gotta take red eyes more often. This is hopefully entertaining.

1626
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 1: But um, you know the whole the whole summer and

1627
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 1: what do we do well? And let's build off of

1628
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: those elements. This is what our offense is going to

1629
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: be starting out. But I think I'm just I'm prepared

1630
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: for it to maybe be offensively a little clunky out

1631
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 1: of the gate based on how it's looked. Sure, let's

1632
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: go to Claire in the West Midlands of Court. Not

1633
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 1: on the phone, mat Sorry, she's an email. Hello, Hello

1634
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: on har Marine, welcome back to it. Like Paul, I'm

1635
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: happy to hear you're okay. Were you happy? Do you

1636
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: hear that? I'm very happy to hear you were alive?

1637
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: Let all okay? Uh? Did Stidham take part in much

1638
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: of the training camp for the Raiders? Just curious curious

1639
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: how he looked? And Jaylen Mills at CB one, are

1640
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: you confident if that's what it's going to be? Like, Yeah,

1641
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean Stidham's the backup, but the offense, certainly the

1642
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: Raiders offense takes a significant step back when David Carr

1643
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: comes out. You know, it's I mean, Stidham made a

1644
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: couple of plays, but it's still I didn't hear much

1645
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: mention of Stidham or Zappy. Yeah, in those practices, it

1646
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: didn't seem like either one. That just goes back to

1647
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: the to the extensive reps for the top offense. You

1648
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: thought they got more reps in these two practices than

1649
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: they didn't against Carolina. Absolutely, it seems like that's what

1650
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: everybody wrote. I mean, that's why I wouldn't be surprised

1651
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: if you don't see them at all. It's like, you know,

1652
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: this was me tracking the practice. I'm holding up my

1653
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: paper here, but these are the one on ones. There's

1654
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: seven on seven. Then it's like eleven eleven eleven, eleven eleven. Yeah,

1655
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: five columns of eleven on a notebook. No, I like

1656
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: to you know, everyone's got their own methodology, Thank you

1657
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: very much. We look at all the work you can

1658
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: get done when you're not fighting the whole time. Well,

1659
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: this was great. I know, this was great for the

1660
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: blogs block servations because then I had, you know, I

1661
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: could go back to it and reference it. And then

1662
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I said a little bit of window into

1663
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: your process of I texted Paul, I'm like, I feel

1664
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: like I need your blessing before I write blog servations.

1665
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: This is a legend a little territorial stuff. It's it's well,

1666
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a legendary. It's a legendary post.

1667
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: That's you know, those are those are the best. I

1668
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 1: told him to don't what he said on the air

1669
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,640
Speaker 1: it up. We're gonna go to the tape on that

1670
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: one on Tuesday show. We're gonna go to the tape

1671
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: on that. We'll find out exactly what I said. I don't,

1672
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna deny anything. Um

1673
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: a little bit. I know, I know this was talked

1674
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: about on Tuesday. Um. George writes in from Madison, New Jersey,

1675
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 1: and uh, what people from New England still rank Boston

1676
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: cream Pie and Boston Cream Donuts number one? If they

1677
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 1: were called New York cream Pie and donuts? I think not.

1678
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: I myself find both to be gross. Like, what was it?

1679
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: What was the take on Tuesday of the Boston Fred

1680
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: didn't like them. Fred doesn't like Boston cream donuts. Someone

1681
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: asked what Someone said that the best donut was a

1682
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: Boston cream donut, and I said, I agree, it's one

1683
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: of my favorite donuts. And Fred was like, oh, it's awful, awful,

1684
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: It's like capello. Yeah, and you know, here's my here's

1685
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: half hour later. You know, here's my take, fast forward.

1686
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: It's not a Boston cream it should be called Boston

1687
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: custard donut. That's not cream in the middle. It's like custard,

1688
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: right yeah, Like if it was cream in the middle,

1689
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: I'd be awful. I mean, and they're fine, I like them,

1690
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 1: but I just I'm always like a Boston cream and

1691
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm gonna get delicious whip cream in the middle,

1692
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: but you're getting like the custard, right, Yeah. I never

1693
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: thought of it that way right now. I've never thought

1694
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: of it that way. Now. You also, when you added

1695
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,600
Speaker 1: New York to the name instead of Boston, it no

1696
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 1: longer sounds like a dessert and it just sounds like

1697
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: something dirty. All right, Well, you're gonna do a New

1698
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: York cream plane this week, you know, I hope. So

1699
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:53,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, like what is I mean there's Manhattan

1700
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: clam chowder sound dirty, which is different than regular you know,

1701
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: New England. I mean, is there any like? I mean,

1702
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: I enjoy it like a New York, New York strip sake,

1703
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: But how much more would you like it if it

1704
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 1: was a Buston strip sake? Not at all? Maybe it

1705
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: would be cleaner, you know, to use Alex's parlance, probably

1706
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,879
Speaker 1: New York it's dirty or virgin years Todd and Greenville

1707
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: rights and I have to listen to the show. I

1708
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: feel a bit less enthusiastic and feel that the Pats

1709
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: will probably win around eight games even with a solid D.

1710
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: Without an offense that can keep up the other teams

1711
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: in the conference, are chances are much lower to win.

1712
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 1: Just my thoughts. I kind of agree it's how Buffalo

1713
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: is gonna sit sit Josh Allen. And then when I'm

1714
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: kind of all for that, I think, just when you

1715
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 1: know what you got, what does it really matter? Could

1716
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: you happen to see what they did last week? Like

1717
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: he played like the first series win, like three for

1718
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: three for forty five yards in a touchdown. They golden air.

1719
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: You're good, you're ready, you're ready, you're primed. Yeah again,

1720
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything like it's just it's just to

1721
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: get some rust off. So maybe you see a rush

1722
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: and you you know, ideally you get you get out

1723
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: there and you see that a little bit. But I

1724
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: just don't think the performance itself is all that meaningful.

1725
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 1: Is there really any other sport that is so different

1726
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 1: between just kind of going out there and playing and

1727
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: having a game plan quote unquote, like for hockey, like, yeah,

1728
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: you have a four second Yeah, game plan? Basketball, Alex

1729
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: you probably because I think I think game plans are

1730
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: important in all sports, um, but I think most important

1731
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: in football. Like I mean, I think if you talk

1732
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,600
Speaker 1: about like an NBA thing, you know, they'll you know,

1733
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: when when you get into a series and you're legitimately

1734
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: locking down, you're you know, you're breaking down your defense

1735
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: to gear to say, Kevin Durant is not going to

1736
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: beat us in this series and this is why, this

1737
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: is what we're going to do to make sure he

1738
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 1: doesn't beat us. You don't do that in the regular season.

1739
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a game plan, but not like that, right,

1740
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: It's it's it's at a different level. Yeah, but talk

1741
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: talk some hoop. I like when I was and certainly

1742
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:59,719
Speaker 1: in baseball when you when you break down pitch selection

1743
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, I mean, it's probably ruining the game,

1744
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Over thought, Yeah, yeah, that's uh,

1745
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: that's but Alex will tell you about the matchups and

1746
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: Celtics games and which what's the five that you like?

1747
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 1: Burn your eyeballs out if you have to watch for

1748
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: much longer. Oh, was it the lineup with just like

1749
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: Grant and Payton at the same time, you go, there

1750
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: we go, there, we go, like Alex, this is the

1751
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: Alex that was drawing? Should we not? Still? It's in

1752
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 1: the off seas, it's in the off season. Are you

1753
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: how you like recovering from them? I liked the off

1754
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 1: season moves. Would you think about the whole Kevin Durant thing.

1755
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like the fact that he's just staying

1756
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 1: there and they came out with that. Would you traded

1757
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,719
Speaker 1: you have traded what they what they were reportedly offering

1758
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:46,680
Speaker 1: with Brown in the first round pick and one other

1759
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 1: guy I've never heard of, Smart. I think I would smart.

1760
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: The thing is, I don't think they were offering smart.

1761
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: I think Kevin Durant's contingency is that he wouldn't play

1762
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: here without Smart. So I like Smart, and that's one

1763
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 1: want it. Smart wanted to give even wanted to play

1764
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: with him. I don't buy that. I think he's too smart.

1765
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Pardon the smartie. He's too good of a player too,

1766
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: said something so silly. Uh. We gotta want to hear

1767
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 1: from me, yell at me. But I was twitching on

1768
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: the side. I didn't see it, just let go all

1769
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden like this like blood. One day and

1770
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: Evan was talking to a fellow reporter about the Celtic

1771
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 1: season and I was just listening to him talk about

1772
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: that whole ordeal and training Smart, and I was just like,

1773
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: don't say anything, don't say anything. Just watch the football,

1774
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: Watch the were you're seeing red. Were you disagreeing with

1775
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: his You're disagree with everything? Yeah, So you know how

1776
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: you could do that? It happens. You know, we're pretty

1777
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 1: opinionated on I didn't want to man splain basketball to

1778
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 1: this kid, but that's what I need. I need more

1779
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: of that from you. You'll get it more. I just

1780
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: the more I covered the game and there where the

1781
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 1: season goes on, the hot takes will come. Yeah. But

1782
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 1: you know you overhear conversations all the time, and you're

1783
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: not necessarily involved in the conversation, and you know, in general,

1784
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 1: you're mature enough to just sort of like less. It's

1785
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,680
Speaker 1: about jaws. If my jaws I'm jumping, let it go, right.

1786
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know them all that well, Maybe I'm

1787
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 1: just not in the mood to argue. Maybe it's not

1788
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: my conversation to bud into, right, so you just let

1789
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: it go the way Alex did at camp that day,

1790
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: Brian Morey could never possibly walk by one of them.

1791
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: Here's why you're wrong. Let me let me tell you

1792
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 1: why you're wrong, and I'm going to deliver it in

1793
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: a way that's going to be really greating on you.

1794
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: Let me let me see if I can say this

1795
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: how it'll drive you the most nuts? Uh? Righting from

1796
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: Mitch from the UK here. My question is, it seems

1797
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: Belichick has a growing reputation for poor drafting. But when

1798
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,560
Speaker 1: do you think that narrative will change when over the

1799
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: past few years we have drafted players like mac Harris, Dugger,

1800
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: more Barmore, et cetera who looked to be potentially great players. Um,

1801
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean I don't have an issue with some of those, uh,

1802
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: And that just goes back to something I've said, we'll

1803
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 1: see if you can do that. I feel like there's

1804
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: some real potential these last couple of draft class, and

1805
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely critical if this franchise is going

1806
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 1: to turn around, that those guys that you named in

1807
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: um you know and I don't. So just a registation

1808
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: is more drafting receivers, not necessarily like players. But I

1809
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 1: mean I'll just go draft like. Okay, So Harris is

1810
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: in the last year of his deal. If he doesn't resign,

1811
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that pick? Mac Jones, if

1812
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't get a second contract as the starting quarterback

1813
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: because he's just sort of average, then how do you

1814
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: feel about Like you can't tell me that we can't

1815
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 1: evaluate drafts until three years down the road. If those

1816
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: guys haven't you know, Ronnie Perkins two years, two years,

1817
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: he's not going to have played. You can't tell me

1818
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: I can't evaluate that pick. But I can evaluate Christian

1819
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 1: Barnmore because he's because he played really good as a rookie. Yeah,

1820
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I like, I need to let's see

1821
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 1: how these these draft picks panic. And that was the

1822
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: point I was about to make about dugger like it

1823
01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,560
Speaker 1: sounds good, but they got a lot of safeties, and

1824
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 1: if he does doesn't play well, I don't know how

1825
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:02,880
Speaker 1: much he's gonna play it. At some point, they're gonna

1826
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 1: just start putting peppers. I think Kyle Dugger has been solid.

1827
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 1: He's a second round pick. Not for it. I think

1828
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 1: people sort of forget that just because he was their

1829
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 1: first pick of that draft. He was still a second

1830
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:15,520
Speaker 1: round pick. I think he's been okay. He's no standout

1831
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 1: star or no, and he's gotten picked onto. I mean,

1832
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,600
Speaker 1: he's had some some tough moments here. I think he

1833
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: struggles in coverage. He's more physical. I mean he he

1834
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 1: like bashes guys up around the line of scrimmage. Yeah. No,

1835
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: he can deliver. He can deliver the lumber that lay

1836
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: the lumber, lay the lumber. You deliver it, you lay it,

1837
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 1: deliver it, then you lay it there, Uh, deliver it.

1838
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: But I will say in regards to that safety group,

1839
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 1: I'm developing a crush on Jibril peppers. Yeah. I don't

1840
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 1: really know why. I don't know why either. I'm just drawn.

1841
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm still like, yeah, the heart wants what the heart

1842
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 1: wants him. No, Like I definitely anything, definitely not. Did

1843
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: I read that my misremembering something? You're not practice you

1844
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 1: remember it totally, right, I haven't. I haven't. But it's

1845
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 1: just there's something about him that my eyes drawn to

1846
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: him in the middle of the defense. That's part of

1847
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 1: it too, And he's one of the only ones that

1848
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 1: the single digit doesn't really bumm me out all that much. Um.

1849
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 1: But I don't know what it is, and I fully

1850
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 1: admit I have no evidence really to back it up

1851
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: of like huge plays or anything. But there's just something

1852
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: about his presence, the way he is in the middle

1853
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: of the defense. It just it seems different. It seems

1854
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: like it could be potentially a new twist. He's a

1855
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: guy that coming off a major injury on his leg.

1856
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 1: You haven't really been able to get him involved until

1857
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 1: the last week or so. I saw no. Right, You've

1858
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 1: been talking about him for over a week, and I

1859
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 1: just you're right, No, you're right to question it. What

1860
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:39,560
Speaker 1: do you I know it's you know what, I don't know.

1861
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm weird like this, like you just there are

1862
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 1: certain players and any sport I feel like that. You're

1863
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: just like it's one of my guys. I like the

1864
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: way he looks it kind of just there's something about him.

1865
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I do think you're going to

1866
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: see a lot of those guys because I think that

1867
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 1: I think Bill looks at of this. I'm going to

1868
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 1: try to get my eleven best players out there as

1869
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 1: often as I can, as opposed to Ray, Kuan McMillan

1870
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 1: or Annie to Bay, whom you know, probably aren't among

1871
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 1: the eleven best if you count Phillips and Peppers and

1872
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 1: Dugger and and all that. You know, I don't know

1873
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: how it's all going to play out. But Kyle from

1874
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 1: Walla Walla, Washington writes in we know where home of

1875
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,760
Speaker 1: Paul's favorite two blood. So that's right. We all know

1876
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:20,080
Speaker 1: this our first year without a proper fullback this season.

1877
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:22,799
Speaker 1: Have we seen any formations or plays in the preseason

1878
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 1: practices where John H. Smith or anyone else is lined

1879
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 1: up in the blackfield backfield blocking or running the ball

1880
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 1: too big a risk or just different direction? Um, you

1881
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: really are coming off the red eye. You're struggling with

1882
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 1: the spoken words words a hard pause, I would answer,

1883
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:40,879
Speaker 1: I haven't seen fullback. I've seen JOHNO. Smith in the backfield,

1884
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 1: but not as a full back. Yeah, they've been they've

1885
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:44,719
Speaker 1: been messing around a little bit with some of that stuff.

1886
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 1: But again, that feels like things that are gonna go

1887
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 1: in in the next two weeks, so you know, behind

1888
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes. Uh, but we got a half

1889
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 1: hour left here, so give us a buzz. You're gonna

1890
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: be gonna make it. I don't know, we're gonna find out.

1891
01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: We might need a phone call Alix and I could

1892
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 1: just do the Celtics half hour finish it, I Marcus

1893
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: Smart and Yellow. I mean, it seems like there's there's

1894
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 1: energy there. If you just bring it out your prodder

1895
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, I think you could get it. You

1896
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: could get over there. Yeah, you don't have to wait

1897
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 1: too long though, I mean maybe I don't know. It's

1898
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 1: like sometimes me and Paul are in the same team

1899
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: and sometimes we like to banter. Yeah, well banter. That's

1900
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: basically the essence Banter podcast does make. What am I saying?

1901
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 1: That's the essence of me right there in a nutshell.

1902
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes same team and then all of a sudden, you

1903
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 1: need one of those people with an ivy drip and

1904
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: they come to you after a big night out and

1905
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 1: they just stick the needle right in you. You chill

1906
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 1: and an hour you're good as new. There's one more

1907
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 1: thing I should mention too, is that I was having

1908
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 1: Starbucks coffee, which is just like next level, like it

1909
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 1: was right next to the always the hotel Ota really

1910
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:49,479
Speaker 1: chemically lately it does, and so I also think it's

1911
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 1: not this morning dollars for my coffee today five dollars

1912
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 1: for grande a drip grande reason and then be charging

1913
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:01,760
Speaker 1: that either question is are you are you Starbucks person? No,

1914
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:03,640
Speaker 1: they're like do you want the do you want the

1915
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: original uh sugar? Like there was so kind of uh syrup,

1916
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 1: like do you want the original syrup in it? I'm like,

1917
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: what's the original syrup? Like a coffee with like cream

1918
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 1: and sugar, Like, what's the syrup? I don't know what

1919
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 1: that is that's changed from the last time I was it.

1920
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the Vegas thing where they put the syrup

1921
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 1: in there. I don't know. It's just sugar and syrup form.

1922
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:25,640
Speaker 1: That's usually what syrup is, maple syrup. Uh. But I

1923
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 1: got Matt, I I I got toned there. Absolutely. I

1924
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 1: don't blame you for being the baby. By the whole flight,

1925
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 1: the baby just would not shut But that's like you

1926
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 1: get addicted to that stuff. And even when we were

1927
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 1: walking into practice, it was like me and Lauren Spencer,

1928
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 1: who is another I think Starbucks person smith, and we

1929
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,560
Speaker 1: were riding, Yeah, we were riding. We were riding the

1930
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 1: Starbucks train, and Evan's like, who also, Evan has like

1931
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: every day like a giant caramel things. Not surprised by

1932
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 1: that at all, but were we were walking so fast?

1933
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 1: Me and Laura were walking so fast. He's like, could

1934
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:08,920
Speaker 1: you guys wait up? What are you walking so fast?

1935
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 1: And I'm just like And then I realized, like over

1936
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: the course of the two practices, like I did nothing

1937
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:15,639
Speaker 1: but just like pace the sideline like I was a coach.

1938
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 1: Like everyone else was like taking breaks, sitting under the thing,

1939
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:20,640
Speaker 1: you know. Not me. I just had like energy to

1940
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 1: burn them with the Starbucks. So I feel like I

1941
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 1: needed to Starbucks up if I wanted to get back

1942
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:25,720
Speaker 1: to where I needed to be. So I'm gonna try

1943
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 1: to roll off of it. So off of this show,

1944
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna go home and you're just gonna sleep until

1945
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: like five forty five tomorrow night. Probably, I'm gonna try

1946
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 1: to that sounds amazing, Gonna try to No, but my

1947
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 1: kids aren't gonna let me. I got the two boys

1958
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:09,679
Speaker 1: Uh perfect, Chris writes in um Sunday, we're having people wher.

1959
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 1: You'll be recovered from lobsters. Some lobsters on the deck.

1960
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 1: That's what she likes. Yeah, that's how do you do?

1961
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:17,880
Speaker 1: You crack them for? So you dive right in with

1962
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 1: the crackers. I'm gonna draw the butter for personally killed. Like,

1963
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:26,160
Speaker 1: do you personally drop the lobsters into their death? Oh no, no, no, no,

1964
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 1: we'll buy them. We'll buy them pre cooked. Yeah, that's

1965
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: my mom's saying. It's her favorite food. She loves to

1966
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 1: kill them. That's her personal like the way she makes lobster,

1967
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,720
Speaker 1: which I don't think it's that intricate, but no, but

1968
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: if it's her birthday, someone else has to do that

1969
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 1: for somehow. Convince yourself as a horrific squeal going on. Yeah,

1970
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,439
Speaker 1: my grandmother used to do it on Christmas Eve, um,

1971
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:51,240
Speaker 1: and we would get the live ones and she would

1972
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: always chase us around the kitchen. That's what grandmothers do, right,

1973
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: That's what the lobster. I don't know. I just I'll

1974
01:34:57,280 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 1: ate a lobster roll all day. If you want to

1975
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: cut it up and give me the me fine, but

1976
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm not digging into clothes and shells and all that.

1977
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 1: I've never I don't suck it. I don't really like lobster.

1978
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was because of like

1979
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 1: just the look of it, or it's too much work

1980
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:14,559
Speaker 1: or whatever, but I have come to the realization it's

1981
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,599
Speaker 1: really one of the few things that I quote unquote

1982
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 1: don't like that I've really never tried, like I've never

1983
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 1: really had, Like I you're like a ten year old boy. Yeah,

1984
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 1: I just decided I didn't like it. I've tried. I'm

1985
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 1: not saying I like I've never had it at all,

1986
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 1: because I have. But anyway, the other night we were

1987
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 1: out in Beth got a lobster roll and I was like,

1988
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 1: she just looks so good. Why do I not like that?

1989
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:34,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, do you mind if I just

1990
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 1: try something like? Yeah? No, it was okay, but it's

1991
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 1: kind of like it's kind of like nothingness to me. Yeah. Um,

1992
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 1: And she said it was a really good one too,

1993
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: So it's not like it was a bad lobster. Is

1994
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 1: it buttered or mayo or there's some mayo? Not a

1995
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 1: ton um. She said it was good blend, like everything

1996
01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 1: good chunks, yeah, chunks of good claws. Yeah. Where were

1997
01:35:56,280 --> 01:36:00,559
Speaker 1: you guys? Um Pickering Wolf and Salem so wonderful. Think

1998
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 1: it's a place called underwater or something like that, sea level,

1999
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:09,559
Speaker 1: sea level out underwater. I don't even know every restaurants underwater.

2000
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 1: But it was nice. It was nice out on the

2001
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 1: deck that time of year. I mean, this is the

2002
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 1: best time of year in New England. Had a couple

2003
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 1: of diet miller get finished with the meal, getting up

2004
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:22,080
Speaker 1: to leave. Some really nice guy comes over. It's like

2005
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to let you finish, but I really enjoy you.

2006
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 1: And Beth is just like and then there's like she's

2007
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: he's and he's with what I assume was either his

2008
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:36,720
Speaker 1: wife or his girlfriend mistress who knows um, and she

2009
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:38,800
Speaker 1: just has her head like on her It's like, I

2010
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:40,960
Speaker 1: told him not and she's looking she goes, I'm sorry.

2011
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:44,120
Speaker 1: She's mouthing like across the I'm sorry. I told him

2012
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:45,720
Speaker 1: not to go. But you're not famous enough for that

2013
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: to be an inconvenience. That's what I like to say.

2014
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:53,920
Speaker 1: It's a D list celebrity like you. You have so

2015
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:56,080
Speaker 1: you go out and you have enough people that come

2016
01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 1: up to you and say hi, but it's never to

2017
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 1: the point of, oh my god, this sucks because I

2018
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:03,560
Speaker 1: don't make enough money for that, Like you need to.

2019
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:06,720
Speaker 1: Like the balance of being so famous that you can't

2020
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 1: really go out and enjoy a meal is Yeah, I'm

2021
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 1: a multi millionaire. I'll take that. But you know, in

2022
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 1: my situation, if it was annoying, yeah, that would really

2023
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 1: be annoying because I don't have anyone training camp just

2024
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:24,040
Speaker 1: killed any that the in stadium practice, Mac was doing

2025
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:26,760
Speaker 1: autographs and I was just getting some social media video

2026
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: and some guy like flags me down out of the

2027
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,680
Speaker 1: stand and I see his son is bawling his eyes out,

2028
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, that's a little strange, as he's

2029
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,679
Speaker 1: so happy that he just got Max. No Max skipped

2030
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,679
Speaker 1: over him, so like the spoiled brass screaming in tears

2031
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,400
Speaker 1: and the father. The father wants me to go into

2032
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: the tunnel and bring Mac out for his one specific son.

2033
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 1: Did what hell kind of clearance? Do you think? Yeah, well,

2034
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 1: I kind of know what you're talking about, Paul, because

2035
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, one time I was walking and someone was

2036
01:37:56,320 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: like sub zo. Yeah, I know, but all right, I'm

2037
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:05,200
Speaker 1: not Yeah, so id nice nice dinner last week. That's fun,

2038
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 1: fun stuff, fun stuff. Yeah, Brent Brent from Indiana, right,

2039
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,040
Speaker 1: and then he's looking for some predictions. I just I

2040
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 1: struggle with the predictions right now. It's so hard. He

2041
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: wants an overall record and I'm gonna say, I'm gonna

2042
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 1: say nine and eight. Yeah, it sounds about right. Biggest

2043
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:21,200
Speaker 1: impact I will say that. I think I'm being optimistic.

2044
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: I feel similarly the biggest impact player. I think biggest

2045
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 1: impact player I might go to Jude On. I think

2046
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:31,719
Speaker 1: I mean the way he's looked. I'm gonna say, Romandre Stephenson,

2047
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 1: that's a that's a bullpick, and I like it. Leading

2048
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 1: past Catcher seems like it. Yeah, yeah, that's sorry, Brent.

2049
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 1: Not maybe not what you're looking for, but I mean,

2050
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: hopefully we're talking about we ain't talking people off the tide.

2051
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 1: We answered the question. I want to like a firm like, well,

2052
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:54,320
Speaker 1: clearly they're gonna go nine and six or whatever. What

2053
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 1: what do they going now? What are the math? Nine

2054
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 1: and eight? Seven? I hate does not adversity well at all.

2055
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,560
Speaker 1: It's funny though, because pasta many late nights with me,

2056
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 1: so I mean I usually, but this feels like I'm

2057
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:11,400
Speaker 1: beyond there's a difference between our our late nights in this.

2058
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 1: I I sympathize because I've been there. I used to

2059
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 1: do the overnights and they if you don't sleep, you're delirious,

2060
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I did not sleep. So now

2061
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 1: think about coming home when you did. You got home

2062
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 1: at five o'clock. Yet think about going right from there,

2063
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 1: right from the airport here to do two hours worth

2064
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 1: of work to edit the newspaper. That was what an

2065
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 1: overnight would have been bad. It would have been bad work.

2066
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: It would not be able to focus right now. But

2067
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 1: it's uh, I like, I like the concept of the

2068
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 1: red Eye just says they're not gonna like coming back never,

2069
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 1: But it was. It's just I never fully fall asleep.

2070
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how people fall asleep completely. I never

2071
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 1: I've never gotten any significant rest. As soon as I

2072
01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: get even close to fallen asleep, I get like the

2073
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: body shake or you know, the plane just has a

2074
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 1: little like you know, like a little shut or and

2075
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 1: you're like, whoa what you know. I'm not not that

2076
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 1: I hate to fly, but I just you're cramped and

2077
01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: you can't really stretch out, and there's no You had

2078
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: to sit next to Matt on the way down. Yeah, yeah,

2079
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:11,560
Speaker 1: but we were in like the nice season. Was he

2080
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 1: white knuck on it? No, he wasn't too bad. I've

2081
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:17,160
Speaker 1: heard that before, so I was kind of I was

2082
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 1: looking at it. At one point he got up and

2083
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 1: he was usually do one of these, and like the

2084
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 1: look on his face like, well, you know, when you

2085
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: get a little turbulent, he looks at you as if

2086
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,640
Speaker 1: we're going down. He's like, get me an ambient. This

2087
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: is it, isn't it? Yeah? I'm sure, I'm sure he did.

2088
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,599
Speaker 1: I mean the food, uh, the food and just being

2089
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 1: on a plane that like, this was the thing about

2090
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 1: going on the Patriots plane was like, you just it's

2091
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 1: weird being on a plane where you know everybody on

2092
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 1: the plane. I've never had that experience that's true, where

2093
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: it's just all these familiar faces everywhere you know you

2094
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: kind of look, and then there's like a bus trip

2095
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,599
Speaker 1: with your hockey teams. Yeah, like then there's some random

2096
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,880
Speaker 1: players coming up, you know, to like grab food or

2097
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 1: use the bathroom or whatever. So it's I don't know,

2098
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:54,439
Speaker 1: it just doesn't feel like that usual nature of a

2099
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:56,680
Speaker 1: plane flight where's just a bunch of random people and

2100
01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:59,720
Speaker 1: an annoying baby crying or you know, all that kind

2101
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 1: of stuff. Like you know, but it's just you know,

2102
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: what else I was thinking is is does everyone else

2103
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:07,439
Speaker 1: have this? The worst moment is when you get in

2104
01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:09,680
Speaker 1: the plane, you're getting settled, and they come on and

2105
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: it's like, bing, please everything, this is a full flight tonight,

2106
01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:15,639
Speaker 1: Like that announcement when they're like full flight, make sure

2107
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 1: everything stowed, and you're like, I thought I was getting

2108
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,040
Speaker 1: an empty seat in the middle, and then you're like

2109
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 1: just waiting and each time someone comes down your eye like, well,

2110
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 1: not this guy, not this guy. Please. You know you're

2111
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,560
Speaker 1: just hoping for like a small a smallish person. I

2112
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 1: never I never luck out. I got so lucky during

2113
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,759
Speaker 1: COVID where just like entire rows to myself every single

2114
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,640
Speaker 1: time I like four or five flights in a row.

2115
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 1: I got that to California a couple of times, which

2116
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: was like full on, stretch out, lie down, and then

2117
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 1: I think I did sleep a couple of times. When

2118
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 1: you're able to stretch out and lie down, I mean

2119
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 1: you still get like kind of jolted away. I can sleep,

2120
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:53,200
Speaker 1: but not like it's not rest. It's like my eyes

2121
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 1: are closed and I'm sort of drifted off for a

2122
01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: half hour. But you're like, I didn't get any rest

2123
01:41:57,320 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 1: out of it. Yeah, that's how I fell last night. Well,

2124
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 1: thank God's he's calling in to save me from myself

2125
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,680
Speaker 1: here in those final minutes, Hey spee, what's going on?

2126
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying delirious. The whole reason I came in. I

2127
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:14,759
Speaker 1: knew it would be comical. You're falling all over yourself.

2128
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 1: It's good though, Um I wanted to fall up on

2129
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 1: a point that I'd made on Tuesday, like about now

2130
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: Bill's demeanors teeming kind of annoying because the team isn't good,

2131
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:27,360
Speaker 1: And Paul completely understood what I was saying, Like I'm saying,

2132
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,560
Speaker 1: it's a mean thing, not a build thing. Um, you know,

2133
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: because because Bill hasn't changed, it's like like I've changed.

2134
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of like there's like

2135
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 1: a bit of lack of self awareness, like on Andy's show,

2136
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:44,400
Speaker 1: like uh, Chris Scheiman Fitzy, we're like clutching their pearls

2137
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: like that Bill is being an authoritarian the Kendrick Bourne

2138
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:50,720
Speaker 1: or like a douchebag to Phil Perry. But he's the

2139
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 1: same guy has always been. Um. I just think that

2140
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot more of that lack

2141
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,599
Speaker 1: of self awareness, like people just not knowing they're upset

2142
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 1: because the team isn't good. When we're gonna be when

2143
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:02,640
Speaker 1: we're below five hundred this year, people are gonna just

2144
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,479
Speaker 1: not get that. They're just they just missed the good

2145
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 1: old days, the glory being perennial as contenders. Yeah, winning

2146
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:12,519
Speaker 1: solves everything, right, I mean that's in or it's just

2147
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't ring as as true or necessary. I think

2148
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 1: that's what we've talked about Paul sometimes thanks to appreciate it.

2149
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 1: It's just like some of the links that are gone

2150
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:24,280
Speaker 1: to to protect things that might not really matter, like

2151
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 1: you know, like expending of energy to do things that

2152
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 1: you're like, this isn't really necessary like anymore. And yeah,

2153
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 1: and speed was you know, it was funny about him

2154
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:37,720
Speaker 1: on Tuesday when he called. But it's just like, you know,

2155
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: he has like three questions related to the play calling

2156
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:42,840
Speaker 1: after the game the other night. It's you know, well,

2157
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 1: well so Matt was going to place, Well, yeah, he

2158
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:49,280
Speaker 1: was really ending the place or the quarterback, Like he's

2159
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: clearly being obstinate and and sort of you know, evasive.

2160
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: And you know, then someone's like, I know you don't

2161
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:02,640
Speaker 1: want to talk about the play calling. I never said that. No,

2162
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 1: you didn't build, but your actions have spoken that quite

2163
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:08,560
Speaker 1: loudly over the past month and a half, you know,

2164
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,760
Speaker 1: and no one's blaming you for it. But let's not

2165
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: try to make it out to me that you haven't

2166
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,720
Speaker 1: been unwilling to go there. It's a process like what

2167
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 1: plays are we calling? You remember back in minigame, what

2168
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: plays are we calling? It's a mini camp. I mean, like,

2169
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:25,600
Speaker 1: don't tell me that you've been more than willing to

2170
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 1: talk about it. That was what he was trying, you know,

2171
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:32,400
Speaker 1: and really bugged me that day. Um, you know, and

2172
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 1: remember we were talking about this in the postgame show.

2173
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:37,479
Speaker 1: You know, people are on Twitter and they're like, oh,

2174
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,720
Speaker 1: who is this letting? Like there's snapshots of Bill like

2175
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:42,640
Speaker 1: with a smile in his space, he's laughing. He's like,

2176
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: I never said that. I mean, I mean, don't where

2177
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 1: he's mocking you and you think that he's laughing and

2178
01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: having fun like we're all we're all joking around together.

2179
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 1: Who is this light hearted coach? No, he's mocking you.

2180
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 1: He's he's he's openly mocking you by saying that he

2181
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:03,680
Speaker 1: he never said that. He doesn't want to talk about it. No,

2182
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 1: he just keeps answering it's a process and he won't

2183
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 1: tell you what any of it entails. Yeah, like what

2184
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:16,840
Speaker 1: are we doing? Yeah, like that's worth time in your mind? Like,

2185
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. I don't get it. Yeah.

2186
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 1: There were some you know, some people on Twitter after

2187
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 1: my call on Tuesday, you know, acting like my faith

2188
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 1: had been shaken, and I mean, I think sometimes people

2189
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 1: misinterpret my you know, enjoyment of watching Bill coach for

2190
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 1: like blind devotion that it's all going to work out,

2191
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: like you know, I just I do think he's one

2192
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:37,639
Speaker 1: of the greatest coaches of all time. I think he's

2193
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 1: also facing a kind of an unprecedented challenge to rebuild

2194
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 1: a team at his age, you know, with with you know,

2195
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:48,120
Speaker 1: certainly has missed on some some draft picks. And I remember,

2196
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, I mentioned before my grandfather was a long

2197
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 1: time track coach at Toughs from basically like nineteen thirty

2198
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 1: one to nineteen seventy one when he died. But remember

2199
01:45:57,920 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: my dad talking about you know, and he was an

2200
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,679
Speaker 1: amazing track coach, one undefeated seasons, all kinds of stuff.

2201
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:04,599
Speaker 1: But you know, as he got older, it's it's harder

2202
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 1: to stay up with the players and the game, and

2203
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 1: it's a challenge. And you know, regardless if you think,

2204
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, Bill belichis the greatest coach of all time,

2205
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: it's a challenge that he's going to have to go through.

2206
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: And I that's what I find most interesting is, you know,

2207
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: how does he change? And in some ways he's had

2208
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:22,040
Speaker 1: to change, but in other ways he hasn't changed. And

2209
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, will that be the thing that ultimately kind

2210
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 1: of never allows his team to come together in a

2211
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 1: way now to be better than the some of their parts.

2212
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Would you wonder as

2213
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:39,759
Speaker 1: time goes by, if he continues to sort of be average,

2214
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 1: you know, once you lose all those guys that had

2215
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: connections to the greatness. So are you now able to

2216
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:52,759
Speaker 1: convince the Judons of the world and the god childs

2217
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: of the world or to buy in? Yeah? Yeah, Like

2218
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm so he came here because he's the greatest coach

2219
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 1: and we win. But I mean, there's a lot of

2220
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:07,680
Speaker 1: teams that are winning, you know, at our level, and

2221
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,280
Speaker 1: some are winning at a higher level. I wonder if

2222
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 1: they're having to do X, Y and Z, which is tough.

2223
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 1: And Bill says that all the time. It's this is

2224
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 1: not an easy program to play. He's not an easy

2225
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,120
Speaker 1: coach to play for. He says that all the time.

2226
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:26,559
Speaker 1: So you just wonder if there's no buy in, because

2227
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:29,559
Speaker 1: suddenly the players that are here are looking at us like, well,

2228
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 1: I can get treated like dirt and and win somewhere else.

2229
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:36,599
Speaker 1: I'm not really winning at a high level here. I'm

2230
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:39,640
Speaker 1: just sort of average. And then you wonder, you know,

2231
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 1: if that's maybe when it's time to make a change,

2232
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:44,640
Speaker 1: because I don't think that anything has passed them by

2233
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 1: in terms of game planning, in terms of understanding what

2234
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:51,360
Speaker 1: it takes to be successful. I think there are probably

2235
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 1: schemes in systems and whatnot that are sort of changed

2236
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 1: that maybe he's been a little slow too, But he

2237
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:01,879
Speaker 1: understands how to get his team prepared to play football

2238
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 1: and they will be well coached. Yeah, and that's and

2239
01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:07,960
Speaker 1: that's the thing, Paul, It's like he I don't think

2240
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 1: anyone would question that he knows everything there is to

2241
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:11,960
Speaker 1: know about football and that he can probably tell you

2242
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,960
Speaker 1: going into every game what you need to do to win.

2243
01:48:15,080 --> 01:48:17,560
Speaker 1: But what makes a coach great though, and this was

2244
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:21,440
Speaker 1: like in my limited one year of club hockey coaching experience,

2245
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:24,599
Speaker 1: was getting a bunch of guys to play the way

2246
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:27,000
Speaker 1: you want them to and you can tell them we

2247
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:28,920
Speaker 1: got to do this, we got to do that. We've

2248
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 1: got to be able to make sure this happens. But

2249
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:32,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that they're going to be able to

2250
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:35,639
Speaker 1: go out there and execute all together as a team,

2251
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 1: especially in like the most critical moments, which you know,

2252
01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 1: those are the things I think that define a great coach,

2253
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 1: not the book, encyclopedia, encyclopedic knowledge of the game. It's

2254
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 1: about It's about getting a team to play to another

2255
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: level and having guys come together, and you you know,

2256
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 1: that's what it's about. And I'm not there yet, Like

2257
01:48:57,600 --> 01:48:59,760
Speaker 1: just to be clear, I'm just talking. I'm talking like

2258
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 1: two years down the road. And you know, if they

2259
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 1: if they aren't able to sort of get back to

2260
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 1: a championship level, you wonder if it becomes harder to

2261
01:49:10,200 --> 01:49:12,479
Speaker 1: do so. I mean, I was talking to Fred Off

2262
01:49:12,520 --> 01:49:15,240
Speaker 1: the area yesterday and I wonder, and I have my

2263
01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 1: doubts if a guy came in today, if Bill Belichick

2264
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: came in today. This was this was day one of

2265
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's regime in Foxborough. But he hadn't. He was

2266
01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:32,640
Speaker 1: the guy who took over, who left Cleveland. All he

2267
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:36,080
Speaker 1: did was Cleveland. Forget the last twenty plus years. He

2268
01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 1: just five years in Cleveland, eight games under five hundred,

2269
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:42,720
Speaker 1: one trip to the playoffs, and he's taken over a

2270
01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:46,000
Speaker 1: franchise tomorrow. I'm not sure he'd be successful with his style.

2271
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: His style continues to work because he has buy in

2272
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 1: that comes with his immense accomplishments. Yeah, he has six

2273
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 1: super Bowls on your resume, and people are saying it

2274
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 1: seems kind of seems like a lot, you know, but

2275
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:04,599
Speaker 1: the guy wins, guy wins. I mean, everybody that plays

2276
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 1: for him gets better. I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna

2277
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:08,800
Speaker 1: buy in. And I think there's a buy in there

2278
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:12,240
Speaker 1: that's sort of automatic that I don't think he would

2279
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:15,559
Speaker 1: have if it was a situation that maybe he didn't

2280
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 1: have that same resume. Yeah, And that's why this season

2281
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 1: is so interesting to me, because I asked myself, like,

2282
01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 1: what's a reasonable expectation after Tom Brady left for Bill Belichick?

2283
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,599
Speaker 1: And I mean I think some people might have said, well,

2284
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:31,599
Speaker 1: he should just be right back in the playoffs and right,

2285
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, there should be no you know, I mean,

2286
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:35,000
Speaker 1: of course there'll be some drop off, but you know,

2287
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:37,640
Speaker 1: what's an acceptable thing for a team that loses a

2288
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 1: quarterback of that caliber, you know, coming off a Super

2289
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:43,840
Speaker 1: Bowl to obviously twenty eighteen. I just think now you're

2290
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:45,679
Speaker 1: kind of getting into the real meat of it, because

2291
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 1: you all right, the Cam Newton COVID season was what

2292
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: it was I think last year, regardless of how it ended,

2293
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:54,680
Speaker 1: you can take a positive out of it and say

2294
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 1: they got a rookie quarterback in the first round and

2295
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:58,760
Speaker 1: they got back to the playoffs. I know it was

2296
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 1: terrible down the stretch and it didn't look anything like it,

2297
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:03,360
Speaker 1: but you know, still it's two years. You can understand.

2298
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 1: I can at least say, all right, it's not like

2299
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:08,640
Speaker 1: he went seven wins six you know, it's all right,

2300
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:10,080
Speaker 1: they had a little bit of a bounce back season.

2301
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 1: But now it's like you've got a second year quarterback.

2302
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: You think you've found your guy. You've had a couple

2303
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 1: of drafts that have been decent, at least on the

2304
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:19,720
Speaker 1: surface for what we think, or you can make an

2305
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:22,840
Speaker 1: argument that they're promising. So it's like, now you've had

2306
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 1: these free agents that you went out and got last year.

2307
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 1: It's now their second season. We've heard so much about, Oh,

2308
01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:28,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, second year in the system. You know

2309
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:30,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing. So it's you know, I don't want

2310
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 1: to say the excuses are running out, because I don't

2311
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:36,120
Speaker 1: really think they're excuses. But I just think this is

2312
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: a season where the Rubbers either are going to meet

2313
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:39,760
Speaker 1: the road and you're gonna start to see a team

2314
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 1: that rallies around this system and this coaching staff and

2315
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:45,599
Speaker 1: each other and plays better than you know, what we're

2316
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:48,200
Speaker 1: kind of expecting, or it's going to be kind of

2317
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 1: like what we saw last year. Maybe they struggle out

2318
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,320
Speaker 1: of the gate even more than they did last year,

2319
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:54,680
Speaker 1: and maybe it doesn't get better, you know. So, I

2320
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 1: just I think this season is a fascinating one, just

2321
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 1: in terms of the whole Bill Belichick thing of at all.

2322
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 1: As Anthony from Delaware writes in yeah, oh, he's here

2323
01:52:04,160 --> 01:52:07,719
Speaker 1: to beat a dead horse. Uh, um, that you dropped

2324
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:11,880
Speaker 1: an F bomb on the that's false. Um. I read

2325
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 1: or heard something from Brier stating one of the reasons

2326
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: Bob wasn't a true options because they feared he'd get

2327
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 1: an HC gig after a year. It makes sense. He

2328
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 1: also said one of the reasons Nick Kylee wasn't truly

2329
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 1: considered was because he didn't sign an extension. That's not

2330
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 1: my red I don't think we really kind of talked

2331
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,080
Speaker 1: about that. I thought that was interesting. Um. I always

2332
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 1: felt like this was going to be the case that

2333
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 1: Patricia of Judge was going to be the option for

2334
01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:31,439
Speaker 1: a few years. It just baffles me that one of

2335
01:52:31,479 --> 01:52:35,080
Speaker 1: football's smartest minds would ever do something like this. Again,

2336
01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:36,519
Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, I always feel like

2337
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:38,560
Speaker 1: this was going to happen, because no way one of

2338
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,840
Speaker 1: the smartest football minds would want three different ocs or

2339
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 1: play callers than three years. I just love the coaching point,

2340
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:45,599
Speaker 1: and not even just to the OC, but we talked

2341
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 1: about the O line. Four years, four different kind of coaching.

2342
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:52,479
Speaker 1: You know, it was set ups. So you know, there's

2343
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:54,640
Speaker 1: a really, really, really good chance that you're going to

2344
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 1: have three offensive coordinators in three years. And it's a

2345
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 1: really good chance of that. Is there a chance that

2346
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,040
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia calls the place, does a good job, and

2347
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 1: his named offensive coordinator next year and everybody feels fine

2348
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 1: like that, I think that's very remote. Yeah, I think

2349
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:15,640
Speaker 1: that's extremely remote. I think I think that might be

2350
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:19,400
Speaker 1: Joe Judge next year, and you'll have your third in

2351
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: three years. Now. I would just say, like, I'm not

2352
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:28,280
Speaker 1: disputing any of the reports about any of this. Does

2353
01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:30,519
Speaker 1: that make anybody feel good? Like, do you think it's

2354
01:53:30,560 --> 01:53:33,519
Speaker 1: a good idea to not hire the guy you think

2355
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 1: is best suited for a job because you think he

2356
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:37,720
Speaker 1: might leave? So I'm going to take someone who I

2357
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 1: think is less than that guy because I think he'll stay.

2358
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:43,559
Speaker 1: Does anybody like that idea? Just like a placeholder year?

2359
01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 1: Like let's just say, for argument's sake, Bill O'Brien was

2360
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: available and they could have gotten him, but they said no,

2361
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 1: because he's probably gonna leave after a year. Do you

2362
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:56,040
Speaker 1: think Bill O'Brien's better than what you have? Then you

2363
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 1: take him for a year and you deal with it

2364
01:53:57,560 --> 01:53:59,320
Speaker 1: the next year you have. Now you have a whole

2365
01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 1: year to prepare for it, as opposed to this year,

2366
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:05,040
Speaker 1: which seems like just kind of caught him with their

2367
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:07,960
Speaker 1: pants down. Yeah, they had no idea what to do. Yeah,

2368
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:09,519
Speaker 1: and have it and have in mind when you bring

2369
01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:11,560
Speaker 1: him in of if he does leave, we need to

2370
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 1: install a kind of system that will be translatable to

2371
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 1: another And I wonder, you know, like with Nick Kayley,

2372
01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:23,280
Speaker 1: I think more likely is he reportedly was not allowed

2373
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:27,439
Speaker 1: to go to Vegas with Josh wanted him, He wanted

2374
01:54:27,479 --> 01:54:30,639
Speaker 1: to go, and they blocked him. Might that be why

2375
01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:33,640
Speaker 1: he didn't sign an extension or did he not sign

2376
01:54:33,680 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 1: an extension and that's why they blocked him like chicken

2377
01:54:37,440 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 1: of the egg? Right? Well, I mean one of those

2378
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 1: things is probably probably accurate, right, Yeah, But either way

2379
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:44,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't atally seem like he's ready to stay here

2380
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 1: and be the next Patriots. Again, if you thought he's

2381
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:52,640
Speaker 1: the best option, he's here, why wouldn't you have him

2382
01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 1: be your your offensive coordinator? If you thought he was

2383
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 1: the best, why did you block him just to coach

2384
01:54:56,560 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: the tight ends. I'm saying that's makes sense. Yeah, yeah,

2385
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:03,480
Speaker 1: that's And that goes back to the point from a

2386
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:05,440
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. I just like some of the stuff

2387
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't add up. It just feels like, uh, you know,

2388
01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:13,560
Speaker 1: my job, wouldn't think activity, don't mistake activity for achievement,

2389
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. Sometimes it's just like you're making

2390
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: more work for yourself trying to cover up and be

2391
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:22,480
Speaker 1: one step ahead than just kind of doing what's best.

2392
01:55:22,560 --> 01:55:26,440
Speaker 1: And I mean usually I give them credit for get

2393
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:29,440
Speaker 1: so many questions about the elaborate plans that Bill Belichick

2394
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 1: is trying to put in place so that like his

2395
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:33,960
Speaker 1: coach will come in and you know, the Fred thing,

2396
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:36,879
Speaker 1: it's on his choice. But I just I still continue

2397
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 1: to believe. Say whatever you want about Bill, but I

2398
01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:42,200
Speaker 1: think part of what I what I like about his

2399
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:45,200
Speaker 1: coaching philosophy is just the the short term focus to

2400
01:55:45,240 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 1: focus on the immediate, to focus on today. And I

2401
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 1: think that that's something he's been consistent with. And you know,

2402
01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 1: I think that that's a really good philosophy, not just

2403
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,080
Speaker 1: for sports but for life, you know, focusing on today

2404
01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:57,440
Speaker 1: and what's in front of you and you know, be

2405
01:55:57,560 --> 01:56:00,680
Speaker 1: here now and that whole thing. But some of this

2406
01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 1: other stuff, it just gets so so caught up in

2407
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:05,880
Speaker 1: the weeds of he said, she said, who wants to

2408
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:09,160
Speaker 1: be where it's it's it's tough to do. Let's get

2409
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 1: another question here from Dave in Bethlehem. Thank you Dave

2410
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 1: for writing in. I think it's a good question. Please

2411
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 1: name a player and a skill you'd like to have

2412
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:19,160
Speaker 1: him develop. How about Damien Harris catching better, j setting

2413
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:21,680
Speaker 1: a hard edge. There's a couple of good examples. H

2414
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:25,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Dugger and coverage. I think I'll be Kyle. Kyle

2415
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: Dugger better in coverage would be really good. You know,

2416
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 1: um what else? Uh else would be good? Mac Jones?

2417
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 1: What's the scale? Mac Jones? Being able to throw the ball?

2418
01:56:42,240 --> 01:56:46,760
Speaker 1: You you stop it? Better, better, be better? And stuff.

2419
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all you can ask for. That's my

2420
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:51,920
Speaker 1: That's like my Mac Bingo card on unpressed conferences all

2421
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:56,600
Speaker 1: you can ask for and stuff and stuff. Yeah, he's

2422
01:56:56,640 --> 01:56:59,160
Speaker 1: definitely cut back on the end stuffs this year. Last

2423
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:00,800
Speaker 1: year that was you could get drunk off of that.

2424
01:57:00,920 --> 01:57:03,640
Speaker 1: Last year, that's something year it's the nervous giggles. Yeah,

2425
01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:07,120
Speaker 1: that's something I've noticed over the years now as I'm

2426
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:10,160
Speaker 1: starting to stack some years of experience of the transformation

2427
01:57:10,240 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 1: and rookies talking to the media, and you know, I

2428
01:57:13,480 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 1: remember thinking about it when Gronk came in, and I'm like, man,

2429
01:57:15,240 --> 01:57:17,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna be so depressing when Gronk is like this

2430
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,120
Speaker 1: jaded ole. But he never he never became that guy.

2431
01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:23,720
Speaker 1: But you can see like how Max's gonna go from

2432
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:27,320
Speaker 1: just this nature of the position, the nature of the availability,

2433
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 1: the amount of times you have to speak to not

2434
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 1: only us but the radio and everything that you know,

2435
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:34,440
Speaker 1: you slee the walls starting to come up. But they're

2436
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:37,520
Speaker 1: just not the open, wide eyed kid anymore that came

2437
01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:39,839
Speaker 1: out of college. It's kind of becoming like a professional

2438
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:44,440
Speaker 1: football player who doesn't really want to say much. Gronk

2439
01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:48,280
Speaker 1: now never went to the dark scus just always he was.

2440
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 1: He was a goof from the first day to the

2441
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:53,680
Speaker 1: last day. He got a little cranky at the end. Yeah,

2442
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 1: but he was always goofy, always always wanting to joke around.

2443
01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 1: Just a gold mine too of personality. I mean, I

2444
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:04,480
Speaker 1: think you knew. I was excited from the moment after

2445
01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:06,120
Speaker 1: coming off that two thousand and nine loss to the

2446
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:07,960
Speaker 1: Ravens and then when they drafted Gronk and he came

2447
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 1: on stage, put the helmet on, family jumping up and down.

2448
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:12,840
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, this guy's excited to be

2449
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:16,120
Speaker 1: a Patriot's making me renewed excitement out and was so

2450
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:19,280
Speaker 1: jacked up. Andy was in love with Gronk that in

2451
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:23,200
Speaker 1: that pre draft process. Oh really, so he loved Oh wow,

2452
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:26,160
Speaker 1: that's interesting. So he was Remember the kid, the kid

2453
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:31,000
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma. I really liked um Jermaine Gresham. And he

2454
01:58:31,120 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 1: was good too. I mean he was since he was

2455
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 1: he was nothing. Yeah, he was nothing like Gronk. Um

2456
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:38,240
Speaker 1: and he had he ended up hurting his knee. But um,

2457
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: I really liked Gresham him. I liked Gronk too, but Andy, my,

2458
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:44,200
Speaker 1: I gotta give Andy credit. He was all over Gronk.

2459
01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:46,480
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Usually, remember the ones that you

2460
01:58:46,600 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 1: love that were terrible, like Vernon Golston, that's mine. Aaron

2461
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:52,880
Speaker 1: Maybin was another one of mine. Yeah, I thought I

2462
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 1: thought I didn't like High Tower because we already had spikes.

2463
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:58,280
Speaker 1: That was mine. I was like, no, No, that's bad,

2464
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:01,640
Speaker 1: that's bad. It's like not even the same universe of

2465
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 1: of players there. It was like super Bowls that wouldn't

2466
01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:06,840
Speaker 1: have been one without him, to know, Boom Tower. And

2467
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 1: you guys saw Trey Flowers visiting with Miami. So I guess,

2468
01:59:09,440 --> 01:59:13,160
Speaker 1: tease your report. I guess, no Trey Flowers here perhaps,

2469
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:16,839
Speaker 1: but um, he's visiting with Miami. Yeah, I was reported

2470
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 1: yesterday they're giving him a kick on the tires and

2471
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:25,040
Speaker 1: it's because of my tweet. You're moving a shaker. Well,

2472
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:29,400
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna do it already, Yeah, already made

2473
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 1: it through a Red Eyes show. I want to thank

2474
01:59:30,680 --> 01:59:33,440
Speaker 1: I want to thank Paul seriousness. The fact that I

2475
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 1: didn't have to do this show completely by myself, that

2476
01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:38,800
Speaker 1: you two came in is much appreciated. Oh that's why

2477
01:59:38,840 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 1: I had to, because I was looking at a back

2478
01:59:41,320 --> 01:59:43,720
Speaker 1: and forth with with Marine Corps Matt for two hours.

2479
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,080
Speaker 1: Make anybody want it back. Wouldn't have been Patriots and

2480
01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been my first solo Showy, No, that's

2481
01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 1: it would have been the maiden voyage of Pep and Deuce,

2482
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:55,680
Speaker 1: but usually those are like July second shows when Paul

2483
01:59:55,760 --> 01:59:57,880
Speaker 1: by yourself. This is you by yourself. Oh that must

2484
01:59:57,920 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 1: be tough. I don't know how you do it. But
