Uh, went on the Spirit of Boston. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.640 That was fun. Some of the tool ships okay, but 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.240 that was that was a fun night. And went down 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.560 to Plymouth. A friend of mine as a beach house 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.680 down there.

I did a couple of radio hits, 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.760 as as you like to say, on the sad, sad 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.720 holiday fill in host time. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.200 Nothing sadder than the holiday fill in host. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.560 Yeah, nothing more necessary for me though, the sad holiday filling. 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.400 Yeah sure, Evan, what about you? 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.560 Spent a week on the vineyard, which was really nice. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.120 Whereabouts on the vineyard. 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.400 Our house we got an airbnb, not like a big house, 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.200 but we were in Oak Bluffs this year. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.600 But we you know, we pop around. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.639 Yeah, what's your favorite? 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.880 You know, I I haven't. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.519 Been to the vineyards since I was in high school, 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.280 so I have no idea, what's going on there? 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:36.680 What's your best restaurant that you. 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:37.160 Go to home? 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:38.200 Oh? 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.200 So, Actually, we tried a new restaurant this year that 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:42.800 that quickly arose up the list. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:43.960 I'll give them a shout out. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.920 Pawnee House and Oak Bluffs and they have great food there, 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.240 great like kind of. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.400 Like Latin American flavor. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.920 I would say I had a rice and beans bowl 0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:01.120 that was fantastic, But I would say honey House is 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.280 probably right at the top of our list now. It's 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.280 one of our new favorites. We went twice. Actually, we 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:06.960 liked it so much. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.480 Does a rice and bean bowls sound good to you? 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.480 I need a little steak in there. Yeah. 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:13.040 No, it had. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.400 Had sausage actually okay, and it was really really good. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.839 And I don't prove. I don't know if that would 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.880 surprise you, but I have a every once in a while. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.320 It wouldn't. It's got to have meat it I don't need. Yeah, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.720 I would definitely have to have either steak or chicken. Yeah, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.200 but yeah, I don't mind a rice bowl. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:33.320 Yeah. There. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.320 We also had a place called the Covington. It was 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.480 an Eggertown right on the main street and Eggertown and 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.720 different another new place that we tried. But like if 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.520 you want, like the o G places like Nancy's Lookout Tavern, 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.960 those places are all really good too, and those will 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:51.160 have more you know, Pol's Burgers and things like that, 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.719 you know, but like that, the new places were good 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.520 this year. I feel like the it's becoming a little 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.200 bit more of a vacation destination versus like, oh I 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:02.839 have a buddy who has a house there, you know, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.880 or something like that. And so the restaurants were seeing 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.680 over the years like they're getting nicer and nicer, like 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.960 dinner style restaurants that people go on on vacation. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.040 So it was pretty good, Coop, all right, Duce and 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.360 I were here with Alex. 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.000 So what was what was the theme of the week. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.080 Oh, it was a lot of World Cup and everything else, 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.560 everything but football. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.440 So it was funny. Like I ended up golfing. That 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.200 was the last thing I did on my vacation. I 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.680 golfed on Sunday. So I watched all those matches and 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.200 I did watch a I mean I don't know, probably 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.360 more than a dozen, I would say, of those matches, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.120 and I didn't see one second of the final. No wow. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:43.360 I watched and I watched it. 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.479 I watched most of the final, but yeah, it was 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.760 I mean, I just it's one of those things we 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.800 talked about. Was Spain dominated the whole time, and I 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.120 was like, man, if this gets the penalty case, they've 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:53.720 got a chance. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.400 Well this is what Argentina's been doing. 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.320 But Spain is just a great defense, and so they 0:05:58.320 --> 0:05:59.240 couldn't get away with it. 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.880 They they had a few, they had one goal allowed, 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.560 one goal the entire tournament. Yeah, not just in one 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.920 goal the entire tournament. Belgium scored against them, the only 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:11.360 goal they allowed the entire tournament. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.640 Mike was telling me that Argentina didn't even have a 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.800 shot on goal till late the nineties. Oh, I thought 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.680 they didn't even have one at home. I don't even 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.960 know if that was now, it was late. 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.000 But anyway, the World Cup has gone. It was a 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.920 good World Cup. I'll give fee for their props. But 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:31.560 we're on to football here, just so you know. We're 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.760 on our regular schedule this week, twelve to two, Tuesday 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.760 and Thursday, Catch twenty two on Wednesday twelve to two, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.760 but we'll also be live on Saturday for the practice, 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.760 So starting at about nine to forty five. On Saturday, 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.640 we'll be live through practice until they tell us we 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.760 have to turn our cameras off. So looking forward to 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.719 that on Saturday to kick off practice, and then we'll 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.040 be back on the thirtieth for the first day of 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.359 pads Thursday, I believe thuresday, so well again, we'll be 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.000 live on that Thursday, and then joint practices down the road. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.080 But much more to come there. But so Tuesday Thursday 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.640 this week and Saturday bonus, and we. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:17.080 Will maintain our Tuesday Thursday schedule during camp. Most of 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.280 those games, most of those shows will be from one 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.800 to three. We will have a slight time change this week, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.880 as Fred said, is normal. Next week when there's a 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.960 day of practice that we have a show, that show 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.080 will be pushed back an hour. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.840 Yeah, because practices are in the morning. Give these guys 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.800 time to watch practice, do the post practice stuff, and 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.800 then you know, we'll go on at one o'clock and 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:39.600 go right into what we saw. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.240 Yeah yeah, and we'll have a quick camp cast videost 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.360 alway good way, So you want a five minute breakdown 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.520 of what we saw, we'll bang those out too. So 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.040 now it's hard to believe it's back already. I mean, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.320 it's happens quick. Excited to see this new team Forest 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.480 and Foxboro. Of course, came out on Friday. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.960 We came on a Friday. Got about eighty thousand people 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.160 have watched it so far. Everyone loves it, of course, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.880 and I'm sure we'll pick up more. Another episode will 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:12.520 be coming out before the season. Yeah, so we're we're 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.000 doing it. And what we hope to do this season 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.360 with Forge that's going to be different from last season 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.520 is we'll have some sprinkled out throughout the season, so 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.800 you're gonna get in season Forged as well. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:25.400 Yeah. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.080 I was talking to Have though, I just my favorite 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.760 part of all that is just anytime you get to 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:29.880 hear Rabel talk to the team. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.559 I mean, it was my same observation. 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.240 From when Bill did the NFL Film's Football Life and 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.080 in the two thousand and nine season. Any chance I 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.920 get to hear a coach talking to their team and 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.280 how they're trying to motivate them, what they're highlighting is 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:42.960 being important. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:44.640 That's that's my favorite part. 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.640 And just you know, as Ev was saying, it's just 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.200 you can see why Rabel commands a room the way 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.160 he does and why guys want to play for him. 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.080 I mean, it's just sc He seems to know the 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.280 feel of the team. And it just comes back to me, 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.520 how is this season going to be special? Last year 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.880 which just so special? There were so many little things 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.680 Drake Drake May May that thing happened, and you know, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.360 just all the good vibes that seemed to continue to build. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.240 Really felt like it kind of peaked for me around 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.640 that Giants game. You know, when it was here, the 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.560 atmosphere was electric. But how are they going to recapture 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:14.520 some of that magic this year? 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:14.720 You know? 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.400 And how do you is it seems so organic to 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.360 me last year, things like the Warriors and all that 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.000 stuff that happened. It never felt forced like oh we 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.880 need a team motto. You know, it's these things kind 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.480 of just happened, right, So can they do it again? 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.280 Can they find that kind of special vibe? 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.640 Because I do think Digs like the organic stuff to 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.600 me was the stuff that Digs sort of started at 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.000 this time we always last year and kind yeah, I 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.760 mean I think that you know, the way he sort 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.760 of took ownership of that wide receiver room and then 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.240 you know, as you got to you know, like in Buffalo. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.040 You could see it on the field, manifested on the field, 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.040 the way he got the team ready to go, and 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.679 I think that was really organic. I'm not as much 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.480 of a sucker for the other stuff as you are, 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.000 you know, like the the road thing, and you know, 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:01.880 like to me, like, they played really well. But I 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.760 think that's going to be difficult to duplicate because I 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.760 think Diggs was a big part of that and he's 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.960 you know, and he's not there. Now. I'm not questioning 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.520 why Diggs isn't here. I mean, I think we kind 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.640 of all have an idea of why that is. I 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.760 think they upgraded, to be honest with you, in terms 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.560 of talent. But it will be interesting to see how 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.360 they replace that off the field. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.840 That's the biggest like non football thing, you know, Like 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.200 how do they kind of go about creating that energy 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.679 again that they had last year. And nothing'll happen, It's 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.400 not going to be exactly like last year. But at 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.400 the same time, that was such a big part of 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.079 why they kind of overachieved, was because they had this 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.400 sort of galvanizing feeling to them. It's one of the 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.440 best locker rooms I've ever been in, Like just the 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.000 vibe every day when we got to go in there, 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.199 you know, can you recreate that? 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.240 Or you know, are they just better? 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:53.520 You know? 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.040 I think that that's part of it too, is that 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.960 they might just be more talented this year than they 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.480 were last year, and that might help it out as well. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.040 But how does Vrabel? 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.160 What are the vrabelisms that he's able to come up with? 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.240 One that I got one that struck me from at 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:12.640 least that first episode of Forge is journey. So he 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.240 stressed that each guy, you are all gonna have your 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.640 own journey that you're in charge of. Uh So, I 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.440 think that was kind of a theme that I had. 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.319 But then if everybody has their own journey, the team 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.280 also has a journey, So what will be this season's journey? 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.040 Yeah, I mean I agree with Paul's bagger point though, 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.559 is that it's all fueled by winning and success, and 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.160 you know it's and that then its just it started 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.480 the snowball, you know, And I think that's you know, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.880 not saying these are the little fun slogans are why 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.920 you're winning games, But that's the byproduct of it, and 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.760 then it all feeds into it and you get that 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.640 vibe that you felt like in that Giants game where 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.200 you're like, this team is just right and high right now, 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.640 you know, and then they fought some injuries and things 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.760 were tough. But you know, I just I that that 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.000 to me is exciting. And I mean, and then just 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.360 to go back to the football part of it, as 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.560 Paul like, just the talent on the field, That's what 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.640 I'm excited to see this week, aj Brown out there 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.079 on the field, you know. And I mean, of course 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.520 the first thing is, of course, where's Gonzales and where's 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:08.120 gay backets? 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.120 So those are the first two pieces that I'm looking for. 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.800 And you know, you talked about who's going to emerge 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.920 as a leader to kind of take the place of Diggs. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:21.640 I think Bayered looks like already he's vocal and will 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.400 be part of that. I think Woodson also, you know, 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.000 I think you might see him kind of emerge a 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.559 little bit. He seems to have a confidence about him 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.000 even as a second year player. That really's coming through 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:39.520 for me anyway. On offense, not sure, not true. I mean, 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.040 obviously Drake may but I. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.360 Think that's the answer because you know, now you know, 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.760 year three with a great year under his belt, I 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.120 think you already sort of took some ownership of that 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.440 last year. You guys agree, you know, like that ownership 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.640 of the offense. I think he'll be that much more 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.760 comfortable in year two of the system, I think. Yeah, 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.920 I think you should see more on that's on that 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.280 part of the leadership part of. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.439 It from mey, Yeah, you know, just being the conductor 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.280 of the offense and you know, getting the ball out 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.800 to guys. And I mean it sounds stupid because I 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.520 feel like we spent so much time in the early 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.199 days talking about, you know, we need to push the 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:15.960 ball down the field like this is you know, when 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.800 they were bad, like they just they had nothing down 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.000 the field, right, it was just a struggle. 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.240 And now I'm almost looking at it. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.640 Like can Drake be patient and just take the little 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.400 underneath easy safe, you know, And they dig it into 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.240 some of his stats from last year over the last 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:30.600 couple of days, like, you know, that's. 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.040 An area I think he can improve, I think. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.920 And that's a way that you can really turn the 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.280 screws on a defense where you know you're just gonna 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.760 dink and dunk at times, you know, And that and 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.280 that I think is a weird thing to say, like, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:42.800 I hope he can dink and dunk a little more, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.920 but I think there is a time to dink and dunk, 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.160 and you know, maybe it feeds into one of the 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.120 things Evan talked a lot about this offseason, which is 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.480 just tempo and you know, trying to push the pace 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.120 a little bit at certain times. And you know that's 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.880 that to me, will just show him continuing to develop. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.240 And you know, we said last year, I remember Paul 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.040 talking about the Sea't going in and saying, you know, 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.680 I think they'll win. I don't know whatever you said 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.520 like nine ten games like that, but fourteen I think 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.800 you were, you know, measured as I was. But you 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.760 said the wild card was Drake May. And if Drake 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.320 May played well, then you know double digit wins are 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.560 on the table. And you know, this year is it. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.080 We saw that he has all the potential. Can he 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.000 do it? Tougher slate, a little more pressure, Teams have 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.160 more film on him now they're going to look at 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.000 what he did last year and say this is how 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.520 we got to approach this guy this year. So there's 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.440 gonna be some new things. You know that he's going 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:28.560 to get thrown out him, He's got to be. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.560 I mean, we've talked about it before, and Drake has 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.680 talked about it, but the fact that he's got a 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.680 coordinator again that he had the year before, which has 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.760 never happened in all of his career from college on up, 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.520 I think that's got to really benefit him. That he's 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:47.160 going to hear the same language, the same philosophy, the 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.560 same schemes, and he's going to be able to build. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:51.720 On what he did last year. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:53.240 That's the key. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:54.000 It's up here. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:55.120 You said it. 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.360 He's got the physical we've seen it. He can do 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.880 it all, but we've got to see what he can 0:14:59.920 --> 0:15:04.080 do in those most critical moments of the game against 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.120 the best competition. That's what kind of we're still waiting for. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.280 Can I put negative deuce hat on for just the 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:10.960 one second, like. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.240 Is anybody afraid? Is anybody afraid he's gonna regret? 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.720 I'm not saying I'm afraid, but I just think it's 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.960 a worthwhile conversation to say, he played out of his 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.080 mind last year and it was unexpected the level he 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:20.600 played at. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.680 Is there a chance that he was punching above his weight? 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.760 And he's gonna get into more games this year against 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.640 tougher defenses, and it's not going to be quite as 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:30.080 good as well. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:34.400 Statistical regression is different from like eye test regressions. Thank you, Like, 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.640 he's not going to complete seventy two percent of his 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.200 passes again, I think we can all say that pretty comfortably. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.560 Is he going to lead the league in every category? 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.400 Again? Statistically? Probably not, but he might be better? 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.400 Yeah, right, and he will be better. The only way 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.160 he's not better from the eye test is if this 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.680 offensive line is a disaster, and there's no way it is. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.680 So he'll he'll be a better quarterback than he was 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.560 last year. May not translate into pure numbers, but you're 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.640 going to look at him and say he's he's getting 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:09.360 better mentally. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.000 Yeah. You guys really do set me up for these things, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.320 don't you. Okay, I'm just back. I have to wait ahead, 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.840 go ahead. There's no put like what Mike said, Like 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.320 we can all agree that we think the world of 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.760 Drake May and that we think he'll be better in 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.080 the year two. But there's no Mike's scenario that he's 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.560 trying to paint, you know, a little devil's advocate. Sure, 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.000 that's not possible. It's it's not possible, so like it's not. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.040 Of course, it's not possible that he completed seventy two percent. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.280 We're fifty eight percent in the play. We're here to 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.120 give our opinion based on my opinion is he will 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.240 not aggress regress. Okay, but you said it wasn't possible. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.840 I don't think so, I said, unless the offensive line is. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.760 I don't think he's going to regress either. I think 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.360 he's going to get better. I think the guy's incredibly talented, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.720 and like I said, I think all of us think 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.520 the world of Evan. You have some good stuff with 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.240 the numbers, though. I wanted to set you up for 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.879 that because you know, I get a popsicle headache, but 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.560 maybe some people might be interested in it. 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.200 Yeah, we well, Deuce and I did our written previews 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.159 and then the three of us did our video previews of 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.040 each position, and we released the quarterback one today and 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.399 I just looked into some of the numbers of you know, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.639 what were some of the things you know that defenses 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.000 did against Drake May that he wasn't so good against. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.639 And Seattle kind of did it in the Super Bowl, 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.200 and that's the best defense in football, so when they 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:31.440 did it and they did it well. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:32.320 It didn't look good. 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.560 And the two big coverages that they called against him 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.320 were Cover six, which quarter quarter half and we talk 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.040 about that, and cover zero you all out pressure and 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.960 those were the two kinds of things that they jostled 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.280 between in the Super Bowl that gave Drake May a 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:46.959 lot of trouble. 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:48.720 And it's a blueprint league. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.240 Their teams are going to look at that Super Bowl 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.320 tape and say, how can we replicate? 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:54.560 What can we replicate? 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.040 And that's the Let's talk about that cover zero for 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.080 a second, right because during the Sea and now, granted 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.919 it wasn't as good a defense as Seattle, but Drake 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:08.639 did have success when he was blitzed like he was. 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.080 He had really good numbers when he was blitzed. You 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.840 have to look at that offensive line and how it 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:19.280 was playing in that Super Bowl and you have to 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.439 say part of it is, I don't think he had 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.840 a lot of confidence in what was in front of 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.040 him at that point in the season. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:27.360 Yeah. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.640 I think though when you talk about cover zero, though, 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.840 they're sending too many people, so you're not talking about 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.760 I know, you're not talking about actually getting hat on 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:37.720 a hat at that point. I know, so you know 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.160 with Seattle what they were doing. You know, they were 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.240 setting the guys off the edges, and in the Patriots system, 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.440 you're you're locked to one side, you're sliding to the other, 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.119 and then the back has somebody the back to dual reading. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.760 If both guys come, you're hot, like there's nobody left. 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.800 And then then it's up to the quarterback. 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:54.320 And the receivers. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:56.439 You know, the receivers need to know that they need 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.360 to side toust, they need to turn around and look 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.880 for the football. So you know that that's a big 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.800 part of it too. Like you know, we can look 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:04.640 at the all twenty two from the Super Bowl and say, 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.240 Pop Douglas is wide open down the field, but he's 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:08.960 thirty yards down the field and there's a guy in 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.679 Drake May's face in two seconds right, Like, that's not open. 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.160 So it was not blaming Pop, but just in general, 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.399 for those guys supposed to turn around and look for 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.560 the ball, that have been more advantageous than running down 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.879 the field thirty yards in a straight line, you know 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.560 that sort of thing. So all of those things to 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.840 me are more chess match related, and Seattle executes it 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.680 to a level than not a lot of teams can, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.440 like they might face that in the season against Miami 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.480 or the Jets, and and those teams aren't gonna do 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.560 it as well. But when you get to you know, 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.840 we talk about getting against these really good teams that 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.160 that's what's coming next, you know, is Seattle Week one, 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.880 and you know, so on and so forth, that these 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.000 teams are going to have good defenses and they're gonna 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.520 be able to do those types of things. So those 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.080 two coverages were the only two coverages that he had 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.399 a negative EPA against. Cover six and Cover zero. Everything 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.360 else he was near the top of the league, off 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:03.200 the charts against. 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:04.840 So that's what. 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.040 Everybody's gonna call, you know, like that that they're gonna 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.480 get into games against the Patriots and they're gonna call 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.200 all these different things and see not only Drake May 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.240 but Josh McDaniel's like all off season. I hope that 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.919 those two guys were coming for with answers, you know, like, 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:18.960 how are we gonna be this? 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.159 So I'll just throw this out there, snap comes and 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.840 all of a sudden it's Cover zero and those guys 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:31.560 come from both sides. How how is it communicated to 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.719 guys already in their route that they have to you know, 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.359 cut that route and turn like how how is how. 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:38.800 Do you do that? 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:40.719 So it depends on the play call, right, Like, so 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.600 some play calls have a hot route where one guy 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.000 is hot and that guy you know you're gonna throw 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.199 to that guy Specifically, other play calls, and usually with 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.840 the Patriots, they have sight adjustments, so like when you 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.520 see a guy blitz over you, you're going to change 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.240 your route because you know that the quarterback is hot. 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.160 So those are things that just come with everybody kind 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.879 of being on the same page. And sometimes also you 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.119 could you know, use the running back. Like the running 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.760 back can either stay in the block, but if you 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.560 see cover zero coming, you could also sneak the running 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.240 back out and try to you know, hit him in 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:14.360 the flat or something like that. 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.040 So it's not really up to the quarterback. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.120 It's up to the receivers and who would be about 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.720 to recognize, Oh, this just happened in front of me, 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.359 so I know, I mean, this is what's going to 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:24.080 happen behind me. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:25.240 I need to adjust. 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.439 I'd say all the above, and I think that you know, 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.520 not to always compare it. But the thing that Brady 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.480 had was a James White, a Julian Edelman, you know, 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:39.040 guys like that that had that cerebralness to them that 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.560 those guys were often on top of those different types 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.840 of things, and that's where this group needs to get. 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.800 There's a lot of young players, there's a lot of 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:48.399 players that are inexperience in the system. You know, they 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.120 don't have ten years of data to go off of 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.399 like those guys did at times. So you know that 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.119 those are the little things that again I don't know 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:57.800 if every team's going to be able to execute it 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.280 to the level that Seattle did, but when you get 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.040 into the season, they're going to look at it and say, 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:05.720 this is what gave him trouble, you know, in the playoffs, 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:07.359 in the super Bowl, things like that, and this is 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:08.119 what we're going to try to. 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.719 Replicated focus on pre snap and them giving him the 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.480 tools that when these things are happening, that they can 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.040 be all on the same page. And I think that 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.560 for a second year quarterback in this system, that that's 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.760 a progression that you should look for. You know, I 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.399 think last year these things were probably coming and he 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.080 didn't have all the answers yet. I think he had 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:26.919 some of the answers, but you know, this year the 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.600 expectations should be that he gets them out of bad plays. 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.920 I mean, I saw Bert Brew had a report kind 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:33.639 of saying the same thing we've been talking about of 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.840 what the expectations are for Drake May and your two 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:37.399 to really master this system. 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.800 And you know you want to see more with his 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:46.240 legs the same or less with his legs. 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.840 Same, I mean about the same, other than the ball 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:50.520 should have been out you had a guy quick, you 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:51.800 shouldn't have to tuck and run. 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.000 I like the way you said that. I would say 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:58.000 roughly the same. But I you know, if he's passing 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:00.880 up throwers that are there to run and it ends 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:02.760 up being the same running, like I would be sort 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.000 of disappointed in that. But the bigger thing to me 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:07.520 is he's got to protect the ball better. Yeah, he 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.120 led the league in fumbles. I think he had fifteen 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:15.359 fumbles combined. Like, that's a lot of fumbles, and that's 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.439 an area Like we're talking about stats, like his stats 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.719 might regress, Like I could see him completing seventy two 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.240 percent of his passes. Again, I just can't see him 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.119 doing it the way he did it last year, along 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:29.679 with the ridiculously high percentage of completions on downfield throws 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.600 like that, to me, is very hard to replicate. But 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.040 you can be more efficient, and you can protect the 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:37.320 ball better and do things like that, even if the 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:40.520 offensive line doesn't come together the way we think it will, 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:44.840 Like I, this wasn't like to me, a regression isn't 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.359 solely responsible at the offensive line, Like I have a 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:50.600 feeling Fred and I if these bad things happen, Fred 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.000 and I, you're gonna have semantic arguments on postgame shows 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.439 like it's all because you know it's because of the 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.800 offensive line, or like now he just made a bad play, 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:00.959 because both of those things can be true. 0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:03.080 Yeah, what about design runs for him? You want to 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.080 see more of those the red zone goal line? 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:06.760 Yeah, red zone short yardage? 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.800 I mean one play like kind of stuff. I mean, 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:12.760 maybe being better on some of the QB sneaks. I 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:14.159 don't think he was, you know, great, didn't have a 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:15.360 great feel for those last year. 0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:17.720 That's a good point. That's another spot I think you 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:18.399 could know. 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:19.920 I think I think it's a good sign that we 0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:22.520 can look at the MVP runner up and point out 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:24.400 a bunch of different things that we think he can 0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.600 improve to maybe offset some of the situational things that 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:30.040 kind of felt their way last year, which felt like 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:31.520 they got a lot of breaks last year. 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.480 Yeah, I hope he keeps scrambling, keep running. 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.040 Me too. I think that's a big part of his game. 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:39.639 And I think that that's defensively you have to account 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.960 for it somehow, whether your pass rush changes, whether you're 0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.840 spying him, you know, whatever the case may be. I 0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.200 think that that gives you a big advantage if the 0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:51.240 quarterback is a threat, and it's mostly I don't think 0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:54.520 that he's he's not a designed runner in my mind, 0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:57.240 like he's not Lamar Jackson, where like you're you know, 0:24:57.280 --> 0:24:59.080 read options and things like that are going to be 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.199 a big part of it. He's a scrambler. He's like 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.720 a pure scramb. I'm one with you, and I don't 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:05.120 want to take that away from him. 0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:08.520 And if you guys remember, you know before everybody took 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.520 some time off, they had that huge seth Wickersham piece 0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:14.359 you know from the Broncos. Did you read it? I 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:15.040 think you were away. 0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:16.560 Yeah, it was funny. 0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:18.880 It was way too long, and it was it was 0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:21.359 it was right up your ally because we're going to 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.000 have these paragraph along plays that we're just going to 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:25.440 throw them in there every time. We have no idea 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:25.919 what any of it. 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.000 Nobody works hard than Sean Payton, right. 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.359 But anyway, one of the big takeaways is something that 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.080 haven't just touched on about that being a huge part 0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:35.959 of Drake May's game, And obviously that was the number 0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:38.679 one thing in the scouting report was they wanted to 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:42.359 make sure that they didn't let May hurt them with 0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.360 his legs. And there was I mean, in a game 0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.480 that only had one real scoring drive, the big play 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:50.399 on thus scoring drive that gave him the go ahead 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:54.199 field goal, that's the only scoring drive the Patriots had 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.720 the whole game, and it was a twenty eight yard scramble. 0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:01.560 So like, you can succeed the whole day executing your 0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:03.760 game plan, let's not let Drake May hurt us with 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.480 his legs. But one play he has this, as Evan 0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.360 likes to say, superpower, and I don't want to take 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.040 that away from it. I think that's a huge game boot. 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:14.240 Yeah yeah, and I it was over then I didn't 0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:16.720 care about that. But like they don't score, like they 0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:17.600 don't score well. 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:18.320 Best won the game. 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:21.800 But I mean my point is that let's put it. 0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:24.040 Let's let's say he got five yards instead of seven, 0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.520 they punt, the game was over. It didn't matter. 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:27.920 I liked it. 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:31.520 But the twenty eight yard run. They don't get the 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:34.720 field goal without that, right, and that's the only score. 0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:40.520 Remember the touchdown came on the fumble for Johnny. I 0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:43.840 almost said Jared stidhamy is going to call him one 0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:45.639 of my pet names, but I probably shouldn't say that 0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:49.240 on the air. The kid, yep, if that fumble gave them, 0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.600 you know with the scoring drivers like twelve yards or 0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.919 something like that. Like, so the only one drive they 0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:56.840 had the whole day, Yeah, was twenty eight yard scrambled 0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:57.640 for Drake May. 0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:00.320 And flicker the mac hollins. Yeah, that was the other 0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:01.600 big play on the on the drive. 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:04.160 On the importance of the locker room, Travis at West 0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:07.960 Virginia says, locker room, schmocker room, It's irrelevant. 0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:10.040 I don't I disagree. 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.000 I normally a'm on that side of the street. I'm 0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.920 the mad analytics guy that doesn't really account for those 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.600 types of things. Being around that team last year changed 0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:19.160 my present. 0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:22.280 I would just say I bet that anybody that thinks 0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:25.280 that way would change their opinion if they were in 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.080 the Patriots' locker room in twenty twenty four and then 0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.240 again in twenty twenty five and didn't see the difference, 0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:37.359 because I mean it was apparent with guys like what, 0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.160 I can't Why can't I not think of the big 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:44.080 defensive line from Miami. No, who's the big defensive lineman 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:45.719 that was here for the Patriots and they gave him 0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:50.560 the contract in Belgium on the best Godshaw, you listened 0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:53.280 to him in twenty twenty four, and then listen to 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:56.400 like Digs and these guys last year, and you tell 0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.080 me there's not a difference between that Keon White from 0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:01.720 twenty twenty four, and then listen to the way they 0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:02.600 talked in the locker room. 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:05.040 Lash Well, I will say, though, let's just say anything. 0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:08.560 Milton Williams and celebrity family feuture. Really I always saw that. 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:12.199 Let's just say, in twenty twenty four, Patriots win that 0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:15.399 first game in Cincinnati, and then they win three or 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.119 four more after that, does all of a sudden the 0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:19.080 locker room get better? 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.680 Maybe I think it gets better. No, but maybe they're 0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:23.760 not bitching about the way they're being used if they're 0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:26.600 winning right Like that was a big part of that 0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.840 thing is there was openly questioning the coaching. 0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.520 It's not enough by itself to have a locker room. 0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:33.439 Everybody cares about it, and I think. 0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:38.680 Jalen Polk and conversely, if last year they lost like 0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.960 the first four games, yeah, started as this is. 0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.480 Why I like it, so you can have your cute 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.200 little like things that you know, Mike gets excited about. 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:50.920 Sorry Mike, I do okay. But you you go to 0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:53.480 Buffalo and you win that game the way you want 0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:56.240 it and the attitude you had going into that game, 0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:58.920 like we're not afraid of anybody will play you anytime 0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:03.640 anywhere and we'll in. You lose that game and you 0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:05.920 don't get the same response the next time. 0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:06.600 The locker room. 0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:10.200 After that game in Buffalo was for a regular season game. 0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:12.640 I had never seen anything like it. Like it was 0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:14.840 just it was levitating. 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.720 And you have some opportunities to that to that end 0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.560 early in the season. Now Seattle and the opener. I'm 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.280 not saying like if you don't win it, that's it 0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.080 o case, but you have that opportunity in Seattle to 0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:29.400 have a similar kind of win you go to, was 0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:32.480 it Jacksonville is one of those early season ones, you know, 0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:35.160 good solid playoff team on the road. There's another one. 0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:40.360 There's three one on the Steelers Bills, There's another Buffalo game. 0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:45.000 So you have you have three opportunities on the road 0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:48.680 to beat solid playoff teams from a year ago and 0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:53.280 again established that confidence, that swagger that you did right 0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:54.960 out of the shoot with that Buffalo win, because that 0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:56.880 was kind of you know, it was a it's a 0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:59.000 sluggish start to the season last year. It didn't just 0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:01.920 happen automatically. Yeah, you know, they lost the Raiders at home. 0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:05.360 I mean, fumble turned it over five times against Pittsburgh 0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:07.080 and lost the game they should have won. But I 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:09.240 was thinking about that Buffalo game. That was one of 0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.320 the most fun games I've ever covered. I mean, it 0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.560 was a tree there. But I was thinking about Diggs 0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:17.720 and the number I can't get out of my head 0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.600 is that Drake may completed eighty three percent of his 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:24.600 passes just Defawn Diggs last year, Like that is absurd 0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:27.000 for a guy that was targeted as much as to 0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:30.480 fan Diggs was. That was one of the best performances 0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:33.840 I've seen from like a Patriot receiver and probably since 0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:37.120 like Randy Moss honestly, maybe Julian Edelman in the Super Bowl, 0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:39.440 you know, and he won MVP, like he was just 0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:43.000 on a different level, like I you know, it was unbelievable, 0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:45.360 and it was right out of the shoot in warm 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.080 ups that he just came out there and he literally 0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:50.440 almost like went to the like fifty yard line on 0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.880 the Bill's logo and was like dancing in the middle 0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.000 of the field like guess. 0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.680 Who's back, right, And I AJ. 0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.920 Brown's awesome and he's maybe even better in Stefan Diggs 0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:01.600 talent wise. 0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:03.800 I just the eighty three. 0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:05.760 Percent thing, especially, I can't get out of my head, 0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:10.160 like how just insanely efficient that number is? Yep, And 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.400 you know, how do you go about replicating that right 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:14.240 football wise? 0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:15.920 That Diggs was it Drake? I mean, I know it's 0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:17.960 both of them, but like Romeo. 0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:19.400 Dobbs is not going to catch eighty three percent of 0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:19.880 the passes. 0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:23.560 And that's why, like some of the analytics stuff bothers 0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:27.600 me because there's a couple of things, and I've seen 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.560 this written in a few different places, how Drake may 0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:35.200 did that last year with absolutely nothing around nothing nothing zero. 0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:39.040 I would push back on that, and that would that 0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:42.320 would be exhibit A. Would Evan just explain, Yeah, okay, 0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.760 that's number one. Now, I do think he has more 0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.120 around him this year. I think you add Brown and Dobbs, 0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.920 that's greater than Diggs if you ask me, Well, we'll 0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:55.600 see how it unfolds. There's no guarantees in anything, but 0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:57.680 I do think he has more to work with this 0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:00.800 year than he did last year. We'll see. Yeah, okay, 0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:02.720 so I pushed back on that. The other thing is, 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:06.960 I think people, because these analytics are so prevalent now 0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:09.760 and you don't watch the games, you just look at 0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:12.680 the spreadsheet at the end of the game. Diggs was 0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:16.320 like a fifty percent snap guy, right, little over fifty 0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:20.920 fifty five, And people look, well, Daves is coming off 0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:23.520 of torn ACL you had a limited as usage. But 0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:25.959 that doesn't tell the story of the eighty three percent 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:30.080 efficiency rate he had, Right, was that number one in 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:30.520 the league? 0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:31.000 Yeah? 0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.520 How you sort it by targets or you know, minimums 0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:34.960 and stuff. 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:36.360 It had to be for whiteouts, it had to be 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:40.480 number one. Yeah, right, Like that's like invaluable, And I 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:45.200 don't think that you can quantify the story that Evan 0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:49.400 told about the logo in Buffalo great, like your number 0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:53.000 one receiver just went out and said, yep, we're here, 0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:56.240 deal with it, and then went out and had that performance. 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.720 And by the way, he had that kind of performance 0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:02.480 in a couple of other big spots later on. Now, 0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:06.920 I've been critical, critical down the end of his postseason, 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:08.720 and I don't think he was quite as good in 0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.680 the postseason, and that's been his m O. He kind 0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:13.440 of runs out of gas a little bit. He's a 0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:14.320 little older now. 0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:16.800 Was it him running out of gas or teams just 0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:19.200 saying we're just not gonna let him beat us. 0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:20.960 Well, then you're out of gas if you're allowing the 0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:22.760 other team to do But I can't do that to 0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:26.200 Jamar Chase or Justin Jeffersons. Teams have no, they. 0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.880 Don't teams have you know, I think. 0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:31.800 I better not be able to do it to a J. Brown. 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:35.080 I think in the NFL, if a team focuses on 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.040 one guy, they can shut him down, whether it's an 0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:40.240 elite pass rusher or a wide receiver or running back. 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:43.120 But the good teams make them pay for that, for 0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.280 that that focus. 0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:45.280 On that one. 0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:47.360 I think they're more equipped to do that this year, 0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:50.920 which is where my optimism comes in, is that it's 0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:54.920 not just Digs and then a bunch of guys. It's Brown, 0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.120 Dobbs and you know, Hunter Henry and whats. 0:33:57.800 --> 0:33:59.800 All of that do for the running game right right? 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:02.160 Well, that that's a big hope I think, you know 0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.720 for us nerds is that you know, they saw one 0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.040 of the highest rates of single high safeties in the 0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.240 league last year during the regular season because nobody really 0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:13.719 respected their outside receivers. 0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.479 As much as Drake may made them. 0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:20.120 Eventually, they didn't during most of the portion of the season. 0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.160 So having a guy like AJ Brown now who's a 0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:25.680 true outside guy and not like a Digs who's more 0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.919 of an inside player, at this point, do they see 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.200 a lot more too high safeties And then it's Reggie 0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:33.759 Gilliam and Remandre or Trevion Henderson and then we can 0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:34.839 run the ball at you. 0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:35.600 So they have we go. 0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:36.719 We love it. 0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:37.719 More flexibility. 0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:43.040 They're easy to defend, not anymore, baby, they have more 0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:45.680 answers in that way to pivot, you know, like if 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:47.120 you are going to play us in a too high 0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:49.280 shell because of Drake Mays deep ball and AJ Brown 0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:50.080 on the outside. 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.560 We have a full back, we have two running backs, 0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:56.040 we have six offensive linemen that we feel good about playing, and. 0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.760 We've got an offensive coordinator that can use these guys 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:01.000 figure it out like yet and in the lab. 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:02.879 I don't think anyone's going to stop now. 0:35:03.120 --> 0:35:05.520 They won't. They'll be lucky. Well it would be a fluke. Yeah, 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:07.719 I think we've already a stabished. I think that's the 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:09.600 way it could happen, and then no one's going to. 0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:11.799 Stop us is obviously, I know you're being facetious. But 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:14.479 top five offense in football, I think is in play 0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:17.080 like I I really I think that they have that 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:21.279 kind of arsenal around Drake now that they can kind 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:22.480 of do whatever you need to do. 0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:24.400 And I don't know if they could do that last year. 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:26.920 Last year there's a lot of three wide receivers, there's 0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:29.120 a lot of Drake may in the shotgun like that 0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:32.719 drop back passing. This year, I think they can do 0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.080 different things. They can run the ball, they can play action, 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.400 they can get big and you know, put big people 0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.560 on the field and run it over, run over you 0:35:39.600 --> 0:35:41.239 instead of just throwing it over the top. 0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:44.439 If everything on paper comes to fruition is the one 0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:47.359 kind of maybe weak link is tight end depth. 0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:49.040 I was just going to say, it's like, if Hunter 0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:51.239 Henry gets hurt, I think it changes things a lot, 0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:53.120 and I think you're kind of scrambling a little bit. 0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:55.800 I mean, I even think having Julian Hill that hurt 0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:57.799 and now you know, it just puts a spotlight for 0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:00.400 me on Hunter Henry. Everything evn't said. You've got all 0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:02.120 this ability to do all these different things. If all 0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:04.560 of a sudden you're you know, looking at Eli Eridan 0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:07.719 getting in there, or you know, Dupre or some you know, 0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:10.080 one of these undrafted guys from the last couple of years, 0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:13.400 or even Pharaoh Brown, you know, it's it's clearly a 0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:15.200 week link that they won't be able to go to. 0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:16.680 So I just I'd love to see. 0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:18.759 One of these other tight ends maybe at least show 0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:22.360 some kind of signs of progress or hope that because 0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:23.880 I just feel like right now it's it's kind of 0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:26.080 Hunter Henry or Bust at tight end and it's all 0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:28.360 on him, and he's you know, an older player's. 0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:29.719 Got to be a move coming there. You know, they 0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:32.279 hinted at it in the spring. It hasn't happened. Yet, 0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:34.040 I wonder if they're going to give these young guys 0:36:34.239 --> 0:36:36.440 at least the first couple of weeks of camp to 0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:39.160 try to win that job, and then you know, we 0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:43.520 get around the preseason starting around there joint practices. Maybe 0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:45.720 they're making calls and bringing in a veteran. 0:36:45.880 --> 0:36:49.120 Yeah, I'm a little concerned about that, and that makes sense. 0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:51.279 They've seen teams do things like that before. But if 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:53.840 you have a guy that you want to be a 0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:55.799 part of your team, I would think that there's some 0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.040 urgency to get him in and get him acclimated to 0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:00.000 your system as quickly as possible. Now, there's always a 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.200 chance that you bring in someone that has some experience 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.520 in your system, and maybe the learning curve isn't is great. 0:37:05.560 --> 0:37:07.279 Evan and I talked about that when we did our 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:10.160 all Football show you before you guys were on vacation. 0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:12.040 We talked about like the John Tui Spens of the 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:14.400 world and just the two just just chopping it up, 0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:17.200 Salt Peppa, you just chopping it up, a little talk, 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:20.640 a little ball talking, just talking about bros hanging out, 0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:21.720 having a good time. 0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:25.560 All right, Eight five five pats five hundred is the hotline. 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:29.160 Podcast at Patriots dot com is the email address.

I had a two good 0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:50.400 questions one question asoud put Paul in one four all 0:39:50.480 --> 0:39:56.440 you guys, my friend Christmas Paul was It's an odd question, 0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:59.600 but I'll promise I'm making a point. If I were 0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:03.239 to add ask you who is your you know, who's 0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:06.520 the best basket player of all time? What would you 0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:07.360 What would you answer? 0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:07.600 Paul? 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:12.319 Best web player, basketball player, basketball. 0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:16.759 Best basketball player of all time? Michael Jordan. Jordan's oh, 0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:19.799 thank you. That's really not a yes no answer. That's 0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.920 very subjective, but yes, that would be my I. 0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:27.120 Guess, Michael, I guess I'm a little surprised because I'll 0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:29.600 listen to one of the episodes when I was driving 0:40:29.600 --> 0:40:32.920 back to the Hamptons and correct, Levall, I think you 0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:36.719 said you rather go to ten super Bowls and on 0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:40.480 the way three versus going four for four? 0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:44.800 Well, yeah, considering. 0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:47.200 Yeah, yeah, So then how is in Lebron the goat? 0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:52.680 Paul Michael Jordan's right, I tested, I got your hair, 0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:56.440 no player, but you didn't ask me. You didn't ask 0:40:56.480 --> 0:41:03.040 me about accomplishments like I mean, if if we're just 0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:06.120 like counting rings and counting like wins. At the end, 0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:09.480 Lebron's played longer, he has more points than Jordan's, or 0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:12.880 he's better than Jordan's no, like he just played longer. 0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:18.200 I think Jordan's better. He also retired in the middle 0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:21.200 of his career. He retired in the middle of his 0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:24.280 career baseball. Otherwise you could he would. 0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:29.399 Have won you. Yeah, well, I guess, guess just win 0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:30.560 three over four. 0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:31.239 But anyway that. 0:41:31.320 --> 0:41:33.120 There's a lot of guys I would take Lebron. 0:41:33.520 --> 0:41:36.320 Wow. Yeah, see, I didn't even think Bron's Lebron. 0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:37.719 I think they'll take Magic. 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:40.960 I'm not a Lebron hater. I know there are a 0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:45.920 lot of Lebron haters. I just I only top five. 0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:47.560 He may not be my number two though. 0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:50.000 That's Lebron I think is better than him too. 0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:51.680 I don't know. 0:41:52.920 --> 0:42:01.200 Yeah, easily anyway, second play all the time. Thank you 0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:04.880 for the call. You can be the biggest Lebron spon Lebron. 0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:07.680 Where's he gonna go? 0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:08.319 Golden State? 0:42:09.160 --> 0:42:10.600 Yeah? You know what I love about this, that's the 0:42:10.640 --> 0:42:11.640 trust that nobody cares. 0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.240 Nobody really does. But it doesn't make a big impact. 0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:18.880 It doesn't his his group is putting out there like 0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:22.760 the rich Paul the decision this time. No, he's trying. 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:26.360 He's trying. It's the indecision, the ultimate narcissisy. 0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.279 And you're saying it does make a big impact where 0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:28.640 he goes. 0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:31.319 Yes, I think it does. Why because he's good? 0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:36.399 That's very simple one, the. 0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:37.200 One in the bubble. 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:41.080 Yeah, I don't think that Lebron's like, he's not a 0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:42.520 number one guy anymore. 0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:42.840 He's not. 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:45.839 He's not your your your top guy on a team. 0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:47.920 But if he goes to a team that has a 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:50.360 couple of pieces already and he's like the third option 0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:51.960 on that team, and he's willing to do that at 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:55.000 this point for Philadelphia. 0:42:54.840 --> 0:42:57.640 Threat, you know, Brown was the fourth best player. 0:42:57.719 --> 0:42:58.680 I don't know if Threat. 0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:01.200 I don't know if Philadelphia works because they already have 0:43:01.400 --> 0:43:03.160 so many mouths defeat on that team. 0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:06.360 But I think Lebron didn't he just go to Cleveland. 0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:09.279 He might be nice on the list, and I think 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:11.399 there'd be no threat to win if he went there either. 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:13.720 I'm not saying, but I mean, just end your career 0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:15.000 in Cleveland. 0:43:14.960 --> 0:43:18.520 On the list, you know, that's mighty nice. 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:20.640 But that but saying he's not the second best player 0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:21.080 of all time. 0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:25.840 But I agree, like impact all, I don't think that 0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:29.080 like people are waiting with dated breath to see where 0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:29.600 he goes. 0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:32.080 I don't think it's beyond that now with him. 0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:34.719 Yeah, Like, if you're a huge Lebron fan, then I 0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:37.400 could see you, yeah, you know, waiting on all these 0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:40.080 these reports and whatnot. But like if you're just like 0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:43.160 an NBA fan or a fan of sports, like you're 0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:45.520 not sitting around wondering chief's Lebron gonna go? 0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:47.799 And I heard like the NBA is waiting to put 0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:50.640 out the schedule, Yeah because of him? Oh yeah, what 0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:51.200 does that mean? 0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:52.600 That's true? 0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:55.279 If he ends up with Cleveland, then the networks can 0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:57.399 figure out when they want to put Cleveland games on. 0:43:57.440 --> 0:43:59.560 Because they have like their big mark He days like 0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:01.080 Christmas stay and stuff like that. 0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:03.800 All right, so they can figure they can change the schedules. 0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:08.520 Around they don't know they and then change The NFL 0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:09.319 does it every week. 0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:10.879 Yeah, but that's hour. 0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:12.920 That's one of the problems with the NFL is they 0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:14.560 have no regard for their fan base. 0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:16.160 Just make your schedule, don't wait for him. 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.600 He'll what did he just say that out loud? Make 0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:19.200 your schedule. 0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:21.440 Just make your schedule. I'm not I'm talking about the NBA. 0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:23.640 I still not over that. You guys don't think he's 0:44:23.680 --> 0:44:24.520 the second best player. 0:44:24.719 --> 0:44:26.319 I think he's a great play. He's a great one. 0:44:26.719 --> 0:44:31.399 I'm teasing you, guys. Just because I think other guys 0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:33.440 are better doesn't mean I don't think he's a great player. 0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:36.400 Anthony's in Seattle. What's up, Anthony? 0:44:37.120 --> 0:44:37.359 Hey? 0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:39.320 What's Fred? Deuce? 0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:40.240 Hey? 0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:41.880 Welcome back, Paul and Evan? 0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:42.680 Thank you? 0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:46.960 Hey. Uh so you guys did it? You could you 0:44:46.960 --> 0:44:50.560 You converted me. You know, you've you've eat somebody over 0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:52.799 the head, you know, for long enough, eventually you're gonna 0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:56.200 you're gonna leave it not And I watched the World 0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:59.200 Cup finale and uh, it's you know, it's it's one 0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:02.920 of those things where it's it's everywhere, so you know, 0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:05.560 you have ample opportunity to to uh to get in 0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.040 front of the TV. So I went to brunch with 0:45:08.040 --> 0:45:09.839 with the wife and I told myself, I said, Okay, 0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:11.680 I'm just gonna when I get home, I'm gonna turn 0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:13.759 it on and if it's watchable, I'll watch it. If not, 0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:16.160 I'll just you know, change the channel. And man, it 0:45:16.239 --> 0:45:17.160 was more than watchable. 0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:17.440 It was. 0:45:17.440 --> 0:45:20.400 I I enjoyed it. It was a you know, it 0:45:20.440 --> 0:45:22.440 was it was a fun watch. I think part of 0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:24.239 it was I thought that you guys a lot. 0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:24.640 Actually. 0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:28.680 Uh, one of the things was the stakes. And it's 0:45:28.719 --> 0:45:30.440 like a person who doesn't watch football, but then they 0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:32.640 watch the Super Bowl. When you when the stakes are 0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:34.360 really high, you know how much it means to so 0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:39.879 many people. You know, it obviously enhances the watchings. But I, 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.359 based on the newsletter, it seemed like you guys were 0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:45.640 kind of either rooting for Spain or you thought Spain 0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:51.359 would win. And it didn't take me long to recognize that. 0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:54.440 I don't think I can talk intelligently enough about the 0:45:54.480 --> 0:45:56.719 game to say that they were better, but I don't 0:45:56.719 --> 0:45:59.279 think it's arguable that like they are faster. It was 0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.400 it was. It wasn't like they couldn't run with them. 0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.440 And I thought Argentina's goalie had I thought you had 0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:06.400 himself a day, but I just felt like it was 0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:11.480 and by him. And then lastly, and I'll get off 0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:13.360 the phone, and I love that it's back to football. 0:46:13.400 --> 0:46:14.960 So I certainly don't want to high check the show. 0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:17.440 But Paul, I thought of you, man. I thought of 0:46:17.440 --> 0:46:20.480 you the first time that a guy died and then 0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:23.759 was magically resurrected ten seconds later. I didn't even react 0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:25.480 when the guy hit the ground. I just knew. I'm like, 0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:28.920 he's faking. These guys flop, but just in the flopping 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:32.360 in general is exhausting, and I wonder, and here I 0:46:32.400 --> 0:46:34.840 am some non soccer guy coming in talking about the rules, 0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:40.880 but I do wonder if they have thought about explored, uh, 0:46:40.920 --> 0:46:43.759 you know, adding penalties for flopping, because it's like. 0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:46.840 Every time I get there, it's got to be egregious. 0:46:46.960 --> 0:46:49.719 They did it a little bit early in the group play. 0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:51.560 I saw that archaetimes. 0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:53.960 Give it to you, but I Did's a cultural thing, 0:46:54.600 --> 0:46:56.759 like until it starts to be frowned upon by the 0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:57.480 other players. 0:46:57.520 --> 0:46:59.320 Who was the first flopper in soccer? 0:47:00.080 --> 0:47:04.399 We know? I mean, gonna soccer historian, tell me where 0:47:04.400 --> 0:47:05.240 did that start? 0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:07.440 I mean, it's always been a part of. 0:47:08.120 --> 0:47:10.440 Our generation, but I don't know, like was it always 0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:10.759 that way? 0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:12.680 I judge it by the amount of barrel rolls they 0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:15.560 do after they go down right right right. It's a tough. 0:47:15.320 --> 0:47:18.000 One that you're not a soccer fan to watch the 0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:22.080 World Cup final was that's a tough first game because. 0:47:21.760 --> 0:47:22.919 I had heard it was kind of dull. 0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:27.160 I didn't, yeah, to appreciate one side well, but to 0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:29.840 appreciate how good Spain was in that game is to 0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:33.040 understand the defensive tactics and things like that, which is 0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:35.160 not the sexy part of the game. So it's a 0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:37.920 lot like football, like you know, defensive battle like a 0:47:38.320 --> 0:47:41.000 Super Bowl fifty three, thirteen to three game. You know, 0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:43.719 it depends on who your perspective on life on whatever. 0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:48.360 I think of the halftime it works up. 0:47:48.680 --> 0:47:49.359 I think that the. 0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:53.800 What I don't understand about halftime shows is like people 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.600 that get so mad that they didn't like it. It's like, 0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:58.520 for like you don't have to watch it, and it's 0:47:58.520 --> 0:48:01.520 like fifteen minutes of your life, like, you know, I don't. 0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:03.040 Know, go to the store. I didn't realize there was 0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:03.399 a show. 0:48:03.680 --> 0:48:06.560 People just gets so like animated about how much they 0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:08.319 hated and it's because it really was fine. 0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:10.640 I thought it was uplett, you know, it was Upbeataten 0:48:11.080 --> 0:48:12.480 who wasn't from when Bieber. 0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:15.160 Was It was a bunch of people pts Bieber. 0:48:15.280 --> 0:48:20.080 I got a little whiplash watching Shakira's hips, I mean, unbelievable. 0:48:20.360 --> 0:48:23.440 She's like, what in her fifty Yeah she's. 0:48:23.239 --> 0:48:25.960 Still killed fifty. He still chills fantastic. 0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:27.480 Yeah. 0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:31.520 Yeah. But when Justin Bieber came out. It just brought 0:48:31.520 --> 0:48:33.799 the whole house down. He did a good way, comes 0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:36.160 out with a guitar and he's like really slow, and 0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:39.200 everything before that was like, you know, lively and upbeat, 0:48:39.239 --> 0:48:41.440 and then he comes he does his thing, and then 0:48:41.480 --> 0:48:43.520 he comes out and Shakira comes out and brought it 0:48:43.600 --> 0:48:44.000 back up. 0:48:44.000 --> 0:48:46.160 But like, why bring him out? He brought the whole 0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:46.640 house down? 0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:49.760 Well you can. He has so many songs that are upbeat. 0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:54.440 I don't know why they picked that acoustic song. No, no, 0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:56.400 even that would have been better. It was like one 0:48:56.440 --> 0:48:58.560 of his newer acoustic songs. I don't know why he 0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:00.759 didn't do like one of his like you know, get 0:49:00.760 --> 0:49:02.239 the party started type of what. 0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:03.839 Like she will for something. 0:49:04.360 --> 0:49:08.719 She did the World Cups. Play every every game when 0:49:08.760 --> 0:49:11.680 the guys come out, she did you know, she performed that. 0:49:12.040 --> 0:49:15.799 She's she's the World Cup, right, there's a dumb person. 0:49:15.560 --> 0:49:17.799 Right, And there's always like a song that they do 0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:19.480 for the World Cup, right, like everything. 0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:21.759 Ye Like, so Waka Waka is the most popular one, 0:49:21.960 --> 0:49:25.000 I would say, yeah, And I was a little disappointed. 0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:26.960 I thought maybe she was going to do that mix 0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:27.359 it in. 0:49:27.800 --> 0:49:29.600 Because that's but I thought it was a really good show. 0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:30.160 It's a banger. 0:49:30.320 --> 0:49:32.719 I liked it, but yeah, that's a tough game to like. Like, 0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:35.320 the best player in that game was Roger, the Spain's 0:49:35.760 --> 0:49:39.200 central midfielder. You're like, that's not something that it's not 0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:42.160 like Messy or like you know, Lemna Mal up top 0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:43.600 like someone that's scoring goals. 0:49:44.000 --> 0:49:46.319 It's just the way he controlled the midfield is what I. 0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:49.239 Had n't watched much of thema Mal before that game. 0:49:49.280 --> 0:49:50.960 And he's another one like Messi where it's like the 0:49:50.960 --> 0:49:52.839 ball is just glued to his feet and he's just. 0:49:52.800 --> 0:49:54.480 Making little little moves. 0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:56.520 But I did develop some of the appreciation that you're 0:49:56.560 --> 0:50:00.719 talking about ev with just the defensive attitude that just 0:50:00.760 --> 0:50:02.040 I mean, I don't know the exits nose, but how 0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.279 quickly they closed and there was just no space to 0:50:04.320 --> 0:50:06.880 breathe and they are constantly, you know, on top of 0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:08.879 Argentina the second gig they got the ball. 0:50:08.880 --> 0:50:10.400 I mean, it was just it was interesting. 0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:11.600 There's a lot of the other games I watched I 0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:13.960 appreciated guys like holland the talented guys, but this was 0:50:14.000 --> 0:50:15.680 one where it was like kind of a team win. 0:50:15.800 --> 0:50:15.960 You know. 0:50:15.960 --> 0:50:17.839 It's just like these guys are just dam that was 0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:20.839 the Yamal was the guy that I chose. Alex asked 0:50:20.920 --> 0:50:22.839 us if there was a player that we hadn't heard of, 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:26.080 and again, I'm a soccer nubes, like, I don't know 0:50:26.120 --> 0:50:28.360 any of these guys other than you know, the messies 0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:30.399 and the babes of the world. You know, I don't 0:50:30.480 --> 0:50:34.239 know the That's a guy I had never heard of. 0:50:34.280 --> 0:50:35.799 And I watched a couple of the games and I 0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:38.719 was like, this kid hasn't so. 0:50:38.800 --> 0:50:40.320 I was glad to find out he was the MVP 0:50:40.520 --> 0:50:43.560 of Euros two years ago. He plays for Barcelona, I know. 0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:45.680 And that's and I wrote that in my things, like 0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:48.440 I know, I know everybody knows who this is except 0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:51.080 for me, But I chose that was the one guy 0:50:51.120 --> 0:50:55.080 that in Dallas. What's up, Chad, how's it going, y'all? 0:50:55.080 --> 0:50:57.520 I'm talking about bringing out something Fred send. In the 0:50:57.520 --> 0:51:01.560 beginning of the show, Fred was talking about he's not 0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:05.400 worried about anything on the offense, and I am worried 0:51:05.440 --> 0:51:06.440 about the injury bug. 0:51:07.680 --> 0:51:10.239 You can weave off that on offense part. That's not 0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:13.040 worried about anything. Everything's great, everything's great. 0:51:13.280 --> 0:51:16.960 Yeah, Well, we're always it worried about injuries, But is 0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:19.799 it really worth it to even worry about it. They're 0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:22.520 gonna happen, yeah, you know, and there's nothing you can 0:51:22.560 --> 0:51:25.239 do about it, So like, don't worry about it. 0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:27.279 But if they if they stay healthy, I still I 0:51:27.360 --> 0:51:29.879 have other worries, Like it's not like, oh, the only 0:51:29.880 --> 0:51:31.560 thing that can stop them is if they're not playing 0:51:32.000 --> 0:51:34.440 like no, like no, especially the offensive line. How's that 0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:35.080 all come together? 0:51:36.840 --> 0:51:39.319 I believe in laws of averages a little bit. I 0:51:39.360 --> 0:51:41.759 felt like last year were on the good side of 0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.240 the injury. Yeah, the good side of the injury. 0:51:44.239 --> 0:51:44.759 Absolutely. 0:51:44.800 --> 0:51:47.640 I feel like we brought another guy in that's injury 0:51:47.680 --> 0:51:49.200 prone on the offensive line. 0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:50.399 I'm not sure. 0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:50.840 I think so. 0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:53.840 I think he came from the Jets as well, just 0:51:53.880 --> 0:51:58.360 like Moses. Yeah, so that those make me scretly worried 0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:01.520 because I think Gibson lash Yield was actually a big 0:52:02.000 --> 0:52:05.600 miss for injury. I think our second second round running 0:52:05.600 --> 0:52:08.120 back really didn't show up at all. That can happen 0:52:08.160 --> 0:52:08.919 the end of the year. 0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:11.800 Yeah, I don't look at what anybody did with the 0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:15.080 Jets as what they're going to do after the Jets. 0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:15.920 Second. 0:52:15.960 --> 0:52:18.800 That goes for Sam Donald or anybody. 0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:23.000 You know, Yeah, the one thing I'm I'm looking for 0:52:23.040 --> 0:52:25.760 in camp on the offensive line. And thanks Gatle about 0:52:25.760 --> 0:52:30.240 this in the position preview that we did. Lomu playing 0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:33.239 a little bit at guard in the spring, you know, 0:52:33.280 --> 0:52:36.400 perked my ears up a little bit because if Avt 0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:38.640 does get hurt, I think we all kind of assumed 0:52:38.680 --> 0:52:40.799 that Ben Brown might be the guy that had to 0:52:40.800 --> 0:52:41.439 fill in there. 0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:45.040 But do they feel like Lomu could play some left guard? 0:52:45.520 --> 0:52:49.200 And if they do, then I feel like you have 0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:53.120 a built in layer of depth for AVT injury at 0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:55.319 that point. You know, Ben Brown has to play left 0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:59.120 guard for twelve thirteen, fourteen games and playoff games and stuff. 0:52:59.400 --> 0:53:02.080 That's a little bit concerning. But if your first round 0:53:02.160 --> 0:53:05.440 pick is playing there instead and he's you know, playing 0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:07.799 at a decent level, I feel a little bit better 0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:12.280 about that. But we'll see how much he plays there 0:53:12.320 --> 0:53:14.640 in camp. I'm interested to see how much they cross 0:53:14.640 --> 0:53:17.560 train him at all four spots, honestly on the right 0:53:17.600 --> 0:53:18.560 side and the left side. 0:53:18.719 --> 0:53:20.799 I will I'll just say, how's Wilson look at center? 0:53:20.880 --> 0:53:21.000 You know? 0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:23.640 Is that a seamless transition? Is he you know, better 0:53:23.680 --> 0:53:24.160 player there? 0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:26.400 Does he? You know? Do we see why they. 0:53:26.239 --> 0:53:28.520 Wanted to move him, you know, kind of to his 0:53:28.600 --> 0:53:31.040 natural position. Is you know, is there a considerable jump 0:53:31.080 --> 0:53:32.239 in his players in and. 0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:35.640 You you should expect improvement from Campbell and Wilson in 0:53:35.800 --> 0:53:38.160 year two. They should be better players. It's just natural. 0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:38.560 Yep. 0:53:39.480 --> 0:53:43.160 Darius and Louisville loved every fourge episode, but come on, Ford, 0:53:43.200 --> 0:53:45.920 only thirty minutes. That was a little disappointing. Well, just 0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:48.840 so you know, there's a new rule with the league 0:53:48.840 --> 0:53:52.240 that teams can't do more than thirty minutes of behind 0:53:52.280 --> 0:53:58.560 the scenes type of content per week, so we're limited 0:53:58.600 --> 0:53:58.960 this year. 0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:00.520 I actually liked it. 0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:02.520 It's a I didn't. I haven't seen it yet, but 0:54:02.680 --> 0:54:07.279 it's amazing. You're just going to get criticism, Like I 0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:09.200 can't tell you how I can't tell you how many 0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:12.120 people reached out to me about the ones that we 0:54:12.160 --> 0:54:14.200 did last year, like too long, this is really good. 0:54:14.239 --> 0:54:16.799 It's way too long, right, that was way too long. 0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:19.960 This is way too long. Make it thirty minutes. It's like, 0:54:20.280 --> 0:54:21.040 this is too short. 0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:23.040 Yeah, I thought it was great. I thought it was 0:54:23.080 --> 0:54:24.440 a tight twenty eight minute it was. 0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:25.200 It was very good. 0:54:25.280 --> 0:54:26.480 Yeah, it flowed well. 0:54:26.520 --> 0:54:29.520 It didn't have as much like I didn't feel like 0:54:29.560 --> 0:54:32.799 I was there was any repetition or anything like that. 0:54:32.840 --> 0:54:35.280 As much as mind as longer I would. 0:54:35.080 --> 0:54:36.560 Push back a little bit, I would have one that 0:54:36.560 --> 0:54:38.080 would be my one note was like, I felt like 0:54:38.120 --> 0:54:40.440 we relived the AJ Brown arriving here three times. 0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:41.520 Like I felt like we opened it. 0:54:41.480 --> 0:54:44.000 With him arriving and like and then and when there's rumors. 0:54:43.760 --> 0:54:44.960 He might and I'm like, didn't he already come? 0:54:45.120 --> 0:54:47.520 That was my only critique of it was Yeah, the 0:54:47.640 --> 0:54:49.560 open hat, Yeah, And that was a little bit like 0:54:49.600 --> 0:54:50.000 where are we? 0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:53.360 Yeah, I threw me off too, But then I realized 0:54:53.360 --> 0:54:55.520 that that was like kind of like a montage open 0:54:55.600 --> 0:54:57.680 of what the episode was going to be.

A little bit of transition though 0:57:42.080 --> 0:57:44.680 we had Antonio Gibson briefly last year he got hurt. 0:57:45.120 --> 0:57:47.600 Don't only seemed like, you know, they trusted in the 0:57:47.680 --> 0:57:51.600 draft with jam Miller, but otherwise not really an obvious 0:57:51.960 --> 0:57:54.880 third candidate into that role. Terrell Jennings still kind of 0:57:54.960 --> 0:57:57.800 kicking around as well. But let's start at the top 0:57:58.000 --> 0:58:00.360 with Ramondre Stevenson, who you know missed a few games 0:58:00.400 --> 0:58:03.160 with injury ev but overall he's one of the best 0:58:03.240 --> 0:58:05.640 pass protection and make sure you let Paul talk about that. 0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:08.560 Paul appreciates from Wander his pass protection. But just an 0:58:08.600 --> 0:58:10.280 all around back, you can kind of do it all 0:58:10.280 --> 0:58:11.600 and if you could just stay healthy, he's one of 0:58:11.640 --> 0:58:12.720 the best backs in this league. 0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:14.640 Yeah, down the stretch, he was one of the best 0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:16.840 backs in football last year you know, a guy that 0:58:17.480 --> 0:58:19.320 was right near the top of the league and yards 0:58:19.360 --> 0:58:22.800 per carry, yards after contact, like all those fancy metrics 0:58:22.880 --> 0:58:25.160 that I liked that he was really one of the 0:58:25.240 --> 0:58:29.560 more productive workhorse running backs down the stretch of the season. 0:58:30.360 --> 0:58:32.880 They had the little fumbling issues early on. 0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:35.200 Especially that Pittsburgh game, but then he didn't fumble the 0:58:35.280 --> 0:58:37.960 rest of the season, so maybe that's behind him as well. 0:58:38.320 --> 0:58:41.240 The pass blocking, you know, I think all of it 0:58:41.400 --> 0:58:43.440 kind of came together for him down the stretch to 0:58:43.520 --> 0:58:46.920 the point where he really was the bell cow in 0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:49.400 the playoffs and played seventy percent of the snaps in 0:58:49.440 --> 0:58:52.560 the playoffs, and Treveon Henderson was kind of an afterthought 0:58:52.640 --> 0:58:55.520 at that point. So it's not a criticism of either 0:58:55.560 --> 0:58:57.520 one of those guys, but if just looking at that 0:58:58.120 --> 0:59:00.760 duo or that tandem, you just would like to see 0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:03.680 them peak at the same time a little bit more 0:59:03.720 --> 0:59:04.680 consistently this year. 0:59:04.720 --> 0:59:08.360 I felt like last year they were kind of dueling fiddles, 0:59:08.440 --> 0:59:08.800 like it was. 0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:11.160 Travon Henderson was hot for a couple of weeks, then 0:59:11.240 --> 0:59:12.680 Ramandre was hot for a couple. 0:59:12.520 --> 0:59:15.160 Of weeks, but they never really had them both rolling at. 0:59:15.080 --> 0:59:18.000 The same time to really truly be that one two punch, 0:59:18.120 --> 0:59:20.280 But I don't know what more you could have asked 0:59:20.320 --> 0:59:23.120 for Ramandri and Stevenson down the stretch of last season, 0:59:23.360 --> 0:59:25.720 you know, last month of the regular season into the playoffs, 0:59:25.800 --> 0:59:26.480 he was excellent. 0:59:26.600 --> 0:59:28.200 And I'm going to be really interested to see how 0:59:28.240 --> 0:59:31.360 the presence of Reggie Gilliam at fullback impacts both of them. 0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:32.840 And I know there's been a lot of talk about 0:59:32.880 --> 0:59:36.880 Henderson maybe you know, maybe the lacking vision at times 0:59:36.960 --> 0:59:39.040 and how that could help him, but I think it 0:59:39.120 --> 0:59:41.560 might have an impact on Stevenson as well. So we 0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:45.200 know Josh McDaniels likes to utilize that position. Gilliam is 0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:47.440 a really good one. I think he's a pretty versatile one. 0:59:47.480 --> 0:59:50.960 He's not just sort of a meathead blocker. He can move. 0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:53.880 He's got some athleticism too his game. So I'm curious 0:59:53.920 --> 0:59:57.120 to see how McDaniels implements, you know, two back sets 0:59:57.160 --> 0:59:59.320 with a traditional fullback. Are we are we sleeping on 0:59:59.360 --> 1:00:02.520 Henderson eleven hundred yards last year total, you know, combined 1:00:02.520 --> 1:00:06.800 between rushing and receiving ten touchdowns, you know, but quiet 1:00:06.880 --> 1:00:08.400 down the stretch out and as you said, it was 1:00:08.480 --> 1:00:10.560 kind of all Ramondra Stevenson as you got down into 1:00:10.600 --> 1:00:13.240 the playoffs and into the super Bowl. We saw him 1:00:13.280 --> 1:00:15.680 this spring. The guy runs like lightning. I mean it's 1:00:15.680 --> 1:00:17.880 you can just see the acceleration. You think it will 1:00:17.920 --> 1:00:19.600 be even better here in year two as he gets 1:00:19.600 --> 1:00:22.360 a full offseason in the NFL program. But are we 1:00:22.400 --> 1:00:24.720 sleeping on Trevon Henderson a little bit as maybe a 1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:27.360 year two guy who could really elevate and be that 1:00:27.480 --> 1:00:29.480 one two punch with with Ramondra and be even better. 1:00:29.720 --> 1:00:31.080 Yeah, I think maybe a little bit. 1:00:31.200 --> 1:00:34.080 Because you know, I was writing up the written version 1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:37.520 of this recap or preview, I guess I should say, 1:00:37.960 --> 1:00:40.680 and I was looking at the numbers, and led the 1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:43.000 team in touches, led the team in yards, led the 1:00:43.040 --> 1:00:43.360 team in. 1:00:43.400 --> 1:00:45.959 Touchdown Cravon Henderson's right across the board. 1:00:46.280 --> 1:00:48.280 And I don't think if you asked somebody, hey, who 1:00:48.360 --> 1:00:51.120 led to the Patriots and yards, you know, total yards. 1:00:50.960 --> 1:00:53.960 From scrimmage last year, that people would guess Henderson. 1:00:54.400 --> 1:00:56.920 They might say Diggs, they might say Remandre and he 1:00:57.240 --> 1:00:59.800 I don't think his name would come to mine, you know, 1:01:00.000 --> 1:01:02.160 top of mind. But I think a couple of things 1:01:02.160 --> 1:01:04.120 that you look at from his game is just sort 1:01:04.160 --> 1:01:07.480 of understanding the NFL game and developing in that respect. 1:01:07.520 --> 1:01:09.600 There's no doubt he can run like the wind and 1:01:09.720 --> 1:01:13.880 has great explosiveness and athleticism and can make big plays happen. 1:01:14.040 --> 1:01:17.080 But the vision between the tackles that Paul is talking about, 1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:20.200 the pacing like sometimes I feel like he's honestly going 1:01:20.280 --> 1:01:21.120 too fast. 1:01:21.440 --> 1:01:23.480 Both as a runner and a pass catcher. 1:01:24.200 --> 1:01:27.680 Pass blocking obviously is a lot mental that I think 1:01:27.720 --> 1:01:30.840 that that didn't exactly translate from college to the pros 1:01:30.920 --> 1:01:34.040 for him as a rookie. So all these elements I 1:01:34.120 --> 1:01:36.760 think are more between the ears than they are anything physical. 1:01:36.880 --> 1:01:39.720 But can he develop that part of his game. Can 1:01:39.800 --> 1:01:41.880 he see the field a little bit better? Can he 1:01:42.000 --> 1:01:44.200 understand how to set up his blocks a little bit better? 1:01:44.920 --> 1:01:47.520 Those types of things could maybe help him elevate from 1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:49.760 what was a really good rookie season that I do 1:01:49.880 --> 1:01:52.240 think is getting slept on a little bit to a 1:01:52.320 --> 1:01:53.600 breakout second season. 1:01:53.760 --> 1:01:57.520 Yeah, yeah, to me. The thing but Henderson is consistency, 1:01:57.640 --> 1:01:59.959 like Kevin said, and if you look at the number, 1:02:00.040 --> 1:02:02.960 the numbers are terrific. They were very concentrated in a 1:02:03.000 --> 1:02:05.280 short amount of time where he just exploded, you know, 1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:09.160 that Tampa Bay game, you know, the Buffalo home loss. 1:02:09.480 --> 1:02:11.280 He had some big runs in there. I think what 1:02:11.720 --> 1:02:14.120 the coaching staff is looking for. Mikeabel talked about this 1:02:14.200 --> 1:02:17.200 a lot is more consistency to the running game, more 1:02:17.280 --> 1:02:19.520 so than just flat out production. The numbers are what 1:02:19.600 --> 1:02:22.720 they are. I think he had four touchdowns of fifty 1:02:22.800 --> 1:02:26.640 yards or more. That's great. And that home run ability, 1:02:26.960 --> 1:02:28.640 you know, no one wants to take that away from him. 1:02:28.640 --> 1:02:31.760 Hopefully that he keeps that while adding a lot of 1:02:31.800 --> 1:02:34.040 eight and you know, eight and ten yard runs with it. 1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:34.520 Yeah. 1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:37.080 Well, like a lot of the precisions on this roster, guys, 1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:39.600 it's like, you get to the top two Henderson Stevenson, 1:02:39.720 --> 1:02:42.920 really good, exciting young guy, promising some explosion. You cover 1:02:43.000 --> 1:02:45.160 your bases. But that's where the questions start. And I 1:02:45.200 --> 1:02:46.840 mean I put Reggie Gilliam in that group too. I 1:02:46.880 --> 1:02:49.160 know he's a fullback with Brock Lampy competing at that 1:02:49.240 --> 1:02:51.520 spot too. But you know, behind those guys, ev I 1:02:51.600 --> 1:02:53.680 know you got some real estate on land Larison Islands, 1:02:53.680 --> 1:02:55.800 so I'm sure you can talk. Was that the best 1:02:55.800 --> 1:02:58.240 spray here for my boy? But Terrell Jennings, you know 1:02:58.360 --> 1:03:00.200 he's been around He's a practice squad guy. He was 1:03:00.240 --> 1:03:02.960 brought up, got hurt last year, so he's been, you know, 1:03:03.080 --> 1:03:05.479 hanging on jam Miller. They brought in from Alabama who's 1:03:05.480 --> 1:03:09.200 got some potential as well, and Miles Montgomery, the undrafted rookie. 1:03:10.040 --> 1:03:11.800 It's kind of a mishmash. I don't know how that's 1:03:11.840 --> 1:03:13.320 all going to play out. What do you think. 1:03:13.440 --> 1:03:14.400 Yeah, we're putting all. 1:03:14.400 --> 1:03:16.640 These names in the hat and hopefully pulling out an 1:03:16.720 --> 1:03:20.360 RB three out of somewhere here. You know, I still 1:03:20.400 --> 1:03:23.320 think Glenn Arrison's going to have his day. You know, 1:03:23.440 --> 1:03:25.200 he's gonna have a say in all of this seat 1:03:25.240 --> 1:03:28.280 at the table. I really just like his his pass 1:03:28.320 --> 1:03:30.439 catching ability out of the backfield. I think he runs 1:03:31.040 --> 1:03:33.520 with good power, good sturdiness as well. We saw that 1:03:33.640 --> 1:03:36.240 in the preseason a little bit last year before he 1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:39.040 shut it down. But I think that he's probably, to me, 1:03:39.240 --> 1:03:41.640 the guy that has the most skill out of this 1:03:41.800 --> 1:03:44.720 group and kind of excites me the most. Jam Miller, 1:03:44.960 --> 1:03:47.200 you know, maybe a little bit more as well as 1:03:47.280 --> 1:03:49.360 you know, as the second guy in that conversation too. 1:03:49.480 --> 1:03:51.440 But I know it's not sexy, but it is going 1:03:51.480 --> 1:03:53.360 to come down to special teams like the guy that 1:03:53.520 --> 1:03:56.280 returns kickoffs the best, the guy that can play in 1:03:56.360 --> 1:03:59.800 the kicking game the most. You are really banking on 1:04:00.000 --> 1:04:03.320 Stevenson and Henderson being your your two primary backs in 1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:06.080 this backfield. Uh, and the third guy is going to 1:04:06.160 --> 1:04:09.840 have to find a game day role on special teams 1:04:09.880 --> 1:04:12.240 and in the kicking game. So last year, whether it 1:04:12.400 --> 1:04:15.760 was Terrell Jennings or Dearness Johnson or Antonio Gibson, all 1:04:15.800 --> 1:04:18.800 of those guys returned kickoffs at some point last season. 1:04:18.960 --> 1:04:20.680 So that's going to be a big part of this 1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:22.280 as well. And we probably have to wait till the 1:04:22.280 --> 1:04:24.400 preseason games to fully grasp that. 1:04:24.560 --> 1:04:26.080 That's what I was gonna say. We always bring back 1:04:26.120 --> 1:04:28.439 such a hard position, Paul to evaluate in training camp. 1:04:28.480 --> 1:04:30.560 I mean, you get into the preseason games, but you 1:04:30.640 --> 1:04:32.880 got to assume that Stevenson Henderson probably not seen a 1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:35.640 lot of carries in the preseason, so you know, they 1:04:35.680 --> 1:04:39.960 closed opportunity probably for these guys Torell Jenning, TM Miller, Larison, 1:04:40.240 --> 1:04:41.880 even Montgomery to get a lot of catch. 1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:43.600 I mean, the kick returning roll is a good point too, 1:04:43.680 --> 1:04:46.280 because clearly they want to stay away from some other 1:04:46.400 --> 1:04:48.880 guys and those those train wrecks, you know, and we'll 1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:52.600 talk about you know, wide receivers too. You know, there's 1:04:52.720 --> 1:04:54.520 there's a lot of depth there and maybe one of 1:04:54.560 --> 1:04:58.720 those guys factors into the return game there. But someone's 1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:02.160 going to emerge out of that group. And also don't 1:05:02.200 --> 1:05:04.720 dismiss the possibility. The way they use the practice squad 1:05:04.800 --> 1:05:06.840 now with all those spots, and you know, you see 1:05:06.880 --> 1:05:10.120 teams effortlessly, you know, sort of navigating that throughout the season. 1:05:10.400 --> 1:05:12.080 The third running back very well could be on the 1:05:12.120 --> 1:05:13.640 practice squad for the majority of the year. 1:05:13.880 --> 1:05:15.640 Yeah, I'm not too worried about it because they have 1:05:15.880 --> 1:05:19.080 enough names in the hat and you see these teams 1:05:19.200 --> 1:05:22.160 just find third running backs to the late draft picks 1:05:22.280 --> 1:05:25.400 ud fas all the time. So even though it might 1:05:25.480 --> 1:05:27.800 not be like an Antonio Gibson who has some proven 1:05:27.960 --> 1:05:31.280 NFL experience, I think one of these guys, like Paul said, 1:05:31.320 --> 1:05:32.440 will eventually emerge. 1:05:32.800 --> 1:05:34.360 All right, Well that's the running back position. 1:05:34.480 --> 1:05:37.920 Feel great about Henderson and Stevenson, but some interesting competition 1:05:38.280 --> 1:05:39.840 going into training camp behind them. 1:05:40.320 --> 1:05:42.400 And now great moments in. 1:05:44.680 --> 1:05:49.400 History Richard and Prague. Right, Sin, please tell Matt Lauer 1:05:49.480 --> 1:05:52.760 lookalike he's wrong. It's pronounced Edinburgh, not Edinburgh. 1:05:53.960 --> 1:05:57.080 This just won't go all time out. 1:05:57.080 --> 1:05:58.720 I haven't finished time out because I. 1:05:58.720 --> 1:05:59.560 Know he's gonna Yeah. 1:05:59.560 --> 1:06:02.480 I was my more lenions of the email, the time out, 1:06:03.160 --> 1:06:04.640 you read the whole thing as a matter of fact, 1:06:04.680 --> 1:06:05.240 I not an offer. 1:06:05.320 --> 1:06:07.280 Fred hasn't read any of the emails, and there have 1:06:07.480 --> 1:06:09.800 been that have said Eric's right. 1:06:10.360 --> 1:06:12.280 You've refused to read any of those. I've seen comments 1:06:12.320 --> 1:06:14.400 on Twitter that's used absolutely refused. 1:06:15.040 --> 1:06:17.520 The tour guide who told him otherwise was clearly a 1:06:17.680 --> 1:06:19.920 major bell end. I've never heard that. 1:06:20.280 --> 1:06:22.640 That must be in Scottish frog thing. I just thought 1:06:22.640 --> 1:06:24.400 it was funny, they said. One of the guys said 1:06:24.400 --> 1:06:25.720 I was right, and I didn't even know what I 1:06:25.800 --> 1:06:27.680 was saying. I was just kind of throwing like edin Burgh. 1:06:27.880 --> 1:06:30.160 That's another great moment from. 1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:35.080 All right back here on Patriots on Filtered eight five 1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:37.880 to five. PATS five hundred is the hotline podcast at 1:06:37.920 --> 1:06:41.919 Patriots dot com is the email address. Uh so we're 1:06:42.240 --> 1:06:45.479 talking everything we were talking about. Somebody challenge us about 1:06:45.560 --> 1:06:49.520 Jordan versus Lebron in terms of how many championships they 1:06:49.560 --> 1:06:51.320 won and all that stuff, or how many they went 1:06:51.360 --> 1:06:56.200 to Anthony says ten out of ten times, you take 1:06:56.320 --> 1:06:58.760 more trips to the super Bowl as opposed to going 1:06:59.280 --> 1:07:01.040 to less in being undefeated. 1:07:01.120 --> 1:07:04.720 It's not up for debate. But that's different. That's a 1:07:04.800 --> 1:07:05.480 different argument. 1:07:05.600 --> 1:07:07.200 It is a different argument, but it is up for 1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:11.240 debate because it's your opinion. Opinions are well by definition 1:07:11.480 --> 1:07:11.880 for debate. 1:07:11.960 --> 1:07:14.040 People can say that just to be demonstrative. 1:07:14.440 --> 1:07:16.640 Alway, isn't that true if you're like tied. So I 1:07:16.720 --> 1:07:18.840 look at it like medals in the Olympics, right, like 1:07:19.160 --> 1:07:23.000 Brady has seven goals and he's got well how many silvers? Right, 1:07:23.080 --> 1:07:26.960 but like that Lebron and Jordan aren't equal on golds, 1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:31.120 Like Jordan has won more titles than Lebron, So like, 1:07:31.240 --> 1:07:33.200 no matter how many times Lebron has been. 1:07:33.120 --> 1:07:35.439 That's well, that's why Fred said, that's not the same. 1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:36.840 I don't think it's out. 1:07:37.200 --> 1:07:39.720 Both of them are like four and four, but one 1:07:39.760 --> 1:07:41.520 of them has been ten times. 1:07:41.240 --> 1:07:44.000 And lost six of us more like the Montana Brady, 1:07:44.880 --> 1:07:46.720 but Brady Montana is four for four. 1:07:46.880 --> 1:07:49.760 People credit credited Montana with being four and oh as 1:07:49.800 --> 1:07:53.800 opposed to Brady's whatever, seven and three. I'll take seven 1:07:53.840 --> 1:07:55.600 and three over four and oh any day of the week. 1:07:55.760 --> 1:07:57.960 I don't think that that's an arg that that to 1:07:58.080 --> 1:08:00.840 me is not up for debate. But that's my opinion. 1:08:01.480 --> 1:08:04.000 So someone else might say, no, Montana was better because 1:08:04.040 --> 1:08:05.440 he went there and never lost, right. 1:08:05.720 --> 1:08:07.800 Like, debates what about all the playoff games he lost 1:08:07.840 --> 1:08:09.520 that Brady didn't, Because you. 1:08:09.560 --> 1:08:13.400 Know, that's my mindset. That's that's why I think it's 1:08:13.480 --> 1:08:15.360 more impressive to go to the super Bowl and lose 1:08:15.480 --> 1:08:17.680 as opposed to lose forty nine to three to the 1:08:17.760 --> 1:08:20.920 Giants on the way to the super Bowl, right like, 1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:23.240 which is what Montana did in the heart of his career. 1:08:23.600 --> 1:08:25.840 Not that it was his fault. I'm just saying, like 1:08:26.080 --> 1:08:27.360 Brady didn't have those. 1:08:28.520 --> 1:08:37.439 Nope, sure didn't. All right emails, Joe Wright said, Paul, 1:08:37.640 --> 1:08:40.120 the cute little things that Mike gets excited about are 1:08:40.160 --> 1:08:43.080 the things Tom Brady credits for turning his career around 1:08:43.120 --> 1:08:45.759 in Michigan and getting him on the field in New England. 1:08:46.120 --> 1:08:48.000 Attitude and energy. 1:08:48.640 --> 1:08:52.040 Yeah, Paul, Yeah, Paul, be talking about try to kick 1:08:52.080 --> 1:08:55.000 out my clanking bottles together, saying Warriors is not what 1:08:55.120 --> 1:08:57.600 got Tom Brady onto about And that's what I was 1:08:57.640 --> 1:09:01.600 teasing Mike about. So fun, No great movie I'm not 1:09:01.720 --> 1:09:05.040 telling you that they don't have fun doing it. That's 1:09:05.200 --> 1:09:07.800 absolutely fun. Just don't tell me that that's why they 1:09:07.920 --> 1:09:09.880 be done for it, Like it's not. 1:09:11.280 --> 1:09:13.599 It's not the act of the clanking of the bottles, 1:09:13.640 --> 1:09:17.600 but just the camaraderie, the energy and the excitement, the friends. 1:09:18.760 --> 1:09:21.800 You know, right, that's the The energy and camaraderie is 1:09:21.840 --> 1:09:24.920 what I'm interested in, not the bottles. Okay, do you 1:09:24.960 --> 1:09:27.040 know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying, And 1:09:27.320 --> 1:09:30.720 you can have one without the other. I just don't need. Now, 1:09:30.840 --> 1:09:33.400 some people love that stuff. They eat it up. Matter 1:09:33.439 --> 1:09:35.320 of fact, in this day and age in the culture, 1:09:35.720 --> 1:09:39.600 where's that going? That's going viral today? And that's the 1:09:39.680 --> 1:09:42.679 cute thing that people. It's just I guess I'm old 1:09:42.800 --> 1:09:45.640 and like that stuff doesn't really resonate with me the 1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:48.240 way it does probably someone who's in their mid twenties. 1:09:48.760 --> 1:09:50.200 It doesn't resonate with me either. 1:09:50.960 --> 1:09:55.320 But this goes back to when Paul played sports, Because 1:09:55.320 --> 1:09:57.120 when Paul played sports, he didn't. 1:09:57.000 --> 1:09:58.080 Like the raw ro guys. 1:09:58.280 --> 1:09:59.040 No, I did not. 1:09:59.600 --> 1:10:02.920 I did the heart you did, the guys that were 1:10:03.000 --> 1:10:06.880 always like you know, I was, I was, well, you 1:10:06.920 --> 1:10:08.800 don't have to be a heart o, but like could 1:10:09.320 --> 1:10:11.160 but I was kind of an energy, raw ra guy 1:10:11.200 --> 1:10:11.799 when I played. 1:10:11.880 --> 1:10:12.479 I can't. 1:10:12.560 --> 1:10:15.000 I can't tell you that because I didn't have the talent. 1:10:15.840 --> 1:10:20.000 That's probably why, if you want to go real armchair psychologist, 1:10:20.479 --> 1:10:24.120 I pushed back on those guys because they represented my 1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:25.120 own shortcomings. 1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:30.160 The talented guys, these guys, the clappers. I thought you, 1:10:30.360 --> 1:10:33.360 I thought you liked the talented guys, and you like talent. 1:10:33.600 --> 1:10:36.160 I try hard because I envied them. But I wasn't 1:10:36.200 --> 1:10:39.240 try hard because I didn't have the ability to not do. 1:10:40.479 --> 1:10:44.599 Wait in your life, what you didn't know, you didn't try. 1:10:45.200 --> 1:10:49.840 I tried, I tried. I tried. Believe me, I don't know. 1:10:50.400 --> 1:10:50.760 I don't know. 1:10:51.200 --> 1:10:53.000 I wasn't a lack of effort away from being in 1:10:53.040 --> 1:10:53.719 the major leagues. 1:10:55.520 --> 1:11:04.519 That's not what Tommy did, Debosa told me. Ever, let's 1:11:04.560 --> 1:11:07.360 see David Wright saying, glad to see the full compliment. 1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:10.639 How about each guy picking the player you think will 1:11:10.680 --> 1:11:16.000 show the most improvement most, who who will show the 1:11:16.080 --> 1:11:19.080 most improvement? I think that's an interesting Rookies are out 1:11:19.160 --> 1:11:21.240 because they haven't improved yet. And it's hard to say 1:11:21.439 --> 1:11:23.519 Drake because I mean he said a really high bar. 1:11:23.560 --> 1:11:25.120 I mean, a lot of these guys play. 1:11:25.920 --> 1:11:29.800 If you think, if you think again, the numbers don't 1:11:29.800 --> 1:11:32.560 have to improve, but if you think mentally he's approved that, 1:11:32.840 --> 1:11:34.040 that to me, that's a big leap. 1:11:34.120 --> 1:11:36.280 It just falls back on semantics. All I'm gonna go 1:11:36.320 --> 1:11:36.960 on the easiest one. 1:11:37.040 --> 1:11:38.320 And I don't even know if I believe it, but 1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:40.320 I'm gonna say, Kyle Williams, I knew that was can 1:11:40.520 --> 1:11:41.519 say I. 1:11:41.880 --> 1:11:44.760 Don't believe that. You don't believe you did not say 1:11:44.840 --> 1:11:45.320 that with your. 1:11:45.320 --> 1:11:46.080 Is that out a hope? 1:11:46.640 --> 1:11:48.680 That's not a VA that's got a hope, that's out 1:11:48.680 --> 1:11:49.360 of hope, I think. 1:11:49.439 --> 1:11:52.360 But there aren't a lot of players I feel like 1:11:52.439 --> 1:11:55.920 you can say, like you really need something, Will Campbell, 1:11:56.080 --> 1:11:56.599 Jarre Wilson. 1:11:57.240 --> 1:11:59.479 I think Campbell is a good pick. I believe it. 1:12:00.160 --> 1:12:01.759 In fact, that was what I might have picked. 1:12:02.000 --> 1:12:05.920 I would say Craig Woodson, I think what's my pick? 1:12:06.400 --> 1:12:09.479 The playoffs were the build and then I think this season, 1:12:10.280 --> 1:12:12.840 you know, I think he's got a chance to be stole, 1:12:13.160 --> 1:12:16.719 but considered one of the top ten safeties in the league. 1:12:16.920 --> 1:12:18.800 Question for you to it, do you think do you 1:12:18.840 --> 1:12:20.479 think they're going to go back to a little bit 1:12:20.520 --> 1:12:22.479 more traditional safety roles with Buyered on the back end 1:12:22.479 --> 1:12:24.240 and what's it's gonna play more in the box this year, 1:12:24.280 --> 1:12:26.280 And I mean, I think that fits into your narrative 1:12:26.280 --> 1:12:26.719 if he's. 1:12:26.560 --> 1:12:27.760 Gonna be around the ball a lot more. 1:12:28.080 --> 1:12:30.400 Yeah, I would think so, because I I don't think 1:12:30.439 --> 1:12:33.720 you want Byered in too many man to man situations 1:12:33.800 --> 1:12:36.000 at this point of his career. So if he ends 1:12:36.040 --> 1:12:37.800 up over the tight end or something like that, I 1:12:38.040 --> 1:12:42.120 don't love that matchup. So different ways to get away, 1:12:42.320 --> 1:12:44.360 you know, around that. But Byered to me, at this 1:12:44.479 --> 1:12:47.240 point of his career is a true center fielder, Like 1:12:47.360 --> 1:12:50.080 he's not. He was kind of like Devin mccordy towards 1:12:50.160 --> 1:12:51.680 the end, Like you're not going to put him in 1:12:51.760 --> 1:12:54.400 a lot of you know, man to man foot races 1:12:54.520 --> 1:12:57.519 things like that. You kind of want them just field 1:12:57.600 --> 1:12:59.400 generally over the top of the defense. 1:13:00.160 --> 1:13:02.439 Last year is such a big part of their defensive identity, 1:13:02.520 --> 1:13:04.280 especially if they went along wards, just that those guys 1:13:04.320 --> 1:13:06.639 were kind of interchangeable and they were They're blissed Hawkins 1:13:06.680 --> 1:13:08.439 off the edge, then Woodson's blitzing off the edge like 1:13:08.760 --> 1:13:11.599 they kind of you know, it was very fluid, which 1:13:11.600 --> 1:13:13.720 I would think sometimes teams try to get to like, 1:13:13.800 --> 1:13:15.439 well how great, like it's gonna be hard to get 1:13:15.439 --> 1:13:17.240 a beat on. But I think we have somebody as 1:13:17.320 --> 1:13:20.040 talented as Buyered on the back end that you're willing 1:13:20.160 --> 1:13:21.720 to miss that or lose that. 1:13:22.240 --> 1:13:25.960 Staying in the secondary, John and Louisiana writes in there's 1:13:26.000 --> 1:13:28.599 a debate going on right now and asks about how 1:13:28.720 --> 1:13:32.679 would you rank these Patriots cornerbacks ty Law, Stefan Gilmour, 1:13:32.920 --> 1:13:37.040 and Drell Reevs. My list is Gilmore Law than Revis. 1:13:37.439 --> 1:13:40.000 I think with Gilly winning Defensive Player of the Year, 1:13:40.320 --> 1:13:43.200 that has them over both corners. Then ty Law because 1:13:43.240 --> 1:13:46.639 how great he was in longer tenure than Revs. I'm 1:13:46.640 --> 1:13:49.040 a little biased because Gilmore is my favorite corner of 1:13:49.120 --> 1:13:51.559 all time, but wondering where you guys would rank them, 1:13:51.880 --> 1:13:53.360 certainly not Gilmore number one. 1:13:53.600 --> 1:13:56.479 I love Gilmore. Ty Law is the best corner I've 1:13:56.520 --> 1:13:57.760 ever seen the Patriots have. 1:13:57.960 --> 1:14:01.479 I'm younger than some in terms of patriot ty Law's 1:14:01.520 --> 1:14:01.920 number one. 1:14:02.000 --> 1:14:04.719 Yeah, I think ty Law's number one. I think Gilmore would. 1:14:04.720 --> 1:14:07.240 Gilmore too, and there's three because of what the Yeah, 1:14:07.439 --> 1:14:10.880 But in terms of like overall cornerback number one. 1:14:11.080 --> 1:14:12.599 Yeah, maybe you take his Jet's career. 1:14:12.720 --> 1:14:15.479 Yeah right, if you're taking full careers for all three 1:14:15.520 --> 1:14:17.120 of them. It's Revis law Gilmore. 1:14:17.320 --> 1:14:19.640 That's your impression of his season as because I mean 1:14:19.680 --> 1:14:21.760 he's only here one season, Revis and it was kind 1:14:21.760 --> 1:14:23.240 of a slow start, a little bitter. 1:14:23.280 --> 1:14:24.280 It was the end of his career. 1:14:24.479 --> 1:14:26.080 Good. He had a better start to his career than 1:14:26.080 --> 1:14:26.600 Gilmore did. 1:14:27.680 --> 1:14:30.439 He was exactly what the team needed and it showed 1:14:30.600 --> 1:14:33.439 like the defense wasn't a wary all season. 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:36.080 You know who killed him in Week one, first game 1:14:36.080 --> 1:14:40.880 as a Patriot twenty fourteen, Former Patriot. I don't know, 1:14:41.120 --> 1:14:44.479 DeVante Parker, Okay, oh I am yeah. 1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:45.719 He also killed Gilmore. 1:14:45.920 --> 1:14:50.160 So I just I see Gilmore check that might that 1:14:50.280 --> 1:14:52.720 might be a poulism. You can get those mixed up. 1:14:52.840 --> 1:14:54.720 That might that might be a paulism. I might be 1:14:54.800 --> 1:14:55.559 thinking of Gilmore. 1:14:55.760 --> 1:14:57.040 Yeah, Gilmore twenty nineteen. 1:14:57.200 --> 1:14:59.800 But that front, front row seat to Gilmore. Disregard everything 1:14:59.840 --> 1:15:01.960 I on the nineteen season other than I mean he 1:15:02.160 --> 1:15:04.439 was amazing. I mean I remember that Cowboys game where 1:15:04.479 --> 1:15:06.360 he was like you couldn't get away. I thought he 1:15:06.439 --> 1:15:09.040 got beat for a touchdown at Miami in his first 1:15:09.120 --> 1:15:11.799 game Revs. And I was thinking, he kind of looks. 1:15:11.600 --> 1:15:14.200 Like you ate that good, and then then he was there. 1:15:14.960 --> 1:15:18.839 They're playing so much zone, and the Browner and Revis 1:15:18.960 --> 1:15:22.320 and all these like they're playing zone coverage and Revs 1:15:22.479 --> 1:15:25.120 is like, what are we doing? And and Gilmore is 1:15:25.120 --> 1:15:27.160 the same kind of thing. They started off playing a 1:15:27.200 --> 1:15:29.479 lot of zone and then they sort of figured it out. 1:15:29.840 --> 1:15:30.400 But I I. 1:15:31.960 --> 1:15:34.280 I think Tyler is the best out of that Patriot 1:15:34.479 --> 1:15:34.840 out of that. 1:15:34.960 --> 1:15:35.679 Group, no doubt. 1:15:35.760 --> 1:15:40.760 Yeah, physicality, I mean interceptions and clutch performance. 1:15:40.479 --> 1:15:44.600 Right like Alpha two, like just that shut down, Like 1:15:44.640 --> 1:15:45.080 I even. 1:15:44.920 --> 1:15:47.800 Remember him in the late nineties before. I just looking 1:15:47.840 --> 1:15:49.840 at that guy and being like that is an NFL 1:15:49.920 --> 1:15:50.840 cornerback right there, and. 1:15:50.880 --> 1:15:52.840 He's just looking at it. His pick six in the 1:15:52.880 --> 1:15:55.240 Super Bowl is yeah, iconic. 1:15:55.800 --> 1:15:58.800 Jeffrey in Canada, I says, Fred, you were the only 1:15:58.880 --> 1:16:00.880 one on this show who gets to talk about the 1:16:00.960 --> 1:16:02.920 Red Sox between now and Octoba. 1:16:03.360 --> 1:16:06.719 Absolutely believe. He does believe, and he's proud. 1:16:06.960 --> 1:16:11.200 Evan, this is Evan, Alex and Paul. You all waived 1:16:11.240 --> 1:16:13.880 your rights to say anything. Evan said it was not 1:16:14.040 --> 1:16:17.960 worth watching. Alex said, it's just a museum ballpark and 1:16:18.080 --> 1:16:21.080 she's boycotting, and Paul said he did not buy their 1:16:21.160 --> 1:16:24.120 recent success. Deuce, I know you're a one sport guy, 1:16:24.479 --> 1:16:27.400 and you've probably been focusing on our defensive line depth 1:16:27.680 --> 1:16:30.800 while eating your last lobster roll of twenty twenty six, 1:16:31.160 --> 1:16:33.599 because eating one after the start of training camp would 1:16:33.640 --> 1:16:37.080 be sacrilegious. Lady and gentlemen, start your engines the twenty 1:16:37.160 --> 1:16:40.920 twenty six seasons upon us. Here are five semi bold predictions. 1:16:41.640 --> 1:16:47.240 Patriots go eleven and six and win the AFC East's old. 1:16:48.439 --> 1:16:51.040 Yeah, that's not that interesting to me. 1:16:51.120 --> 1:16:54.160 Though Chiefs missed the playoffs. Again, I could see that happening, 1:16:55.240 --> 1:16:57.360 so that doesn't that's not bold either. 1:16:58.000 --> 1:17:01.439 I don't see that happening. Is if all these reports 1:17:01.479 --> 1:17:03.639 are accurate about Mahomes, I don't see that happen. 1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:06.200 The forty nine Ers win the NFC West. 1:17:06.880 --> 1:17:07.559 That's a little bold. 1:17:07.560 --> 1:17:10.719 That's a little bold, especially with the Rams. 1:17:12.479 --> 1:17:13.960 Three teams are really good. 1:17:14.080 --> 1:17:16.000 I know, yeah, I still any one of them. They're 1:17:16.040 --> 1:17:17.320 the clear third team though. 1:17:17.439 --> 1:17:22.280 Yeah, the Dolphins will be picking first overall, not at all, 1:17:23.200 --> 1:17:25.639 one of the worst rosters in the league. And here's 1:17:25.680 --> 1:17:28.400 one that Paul will get on board with Caleb Williams 1:17:28.520 --> 1:17:29.439 is the league MVP. 1:17:31.439 --> 1:17:36.400 That's bold, that's hold because he's not he's not consistent 1:17:36.560 --> 1:17:38.400 enough to put up the numbers that you have to 1:17:38.520 --> 1:17:41.120 because these guys don't crazy, So these guys don't watch 1:17:41.200 --> 1:17:43.519 the games. They just look at the stats and he'll 1:17:43.640 --> 1:17:48.160 have like his completion percentage won't be good enough to 1:17:48.240 --> 1:17:51.839 win it. He could play good enough, but the completion 1:17:52.000 --> 1:17:56.040 percentage I can't see being like that gaudy seventy percent that. No, 1:17:56.280 --> 1:17:56.519 he did. 1:17:56.720 --> 1:17:58.439 But if he's got a bunch of yards running and 1:17:58.560 --> 1:18:00.479 they're winning, right, he'd be in the mix. 1:18:00.520 --> 1:18:02.240 I feel like they'd be like with him there. He 1:18:02.320 --> 1:18:04.280 wasn't in the mix last year. He did all those things, 1:18:04.960 --> 1:18:08.280 but his stats are just kind of pedestrian. Because that's 1:18:08.400 --> 1:18:11.920 complete enough, right? Can we go back by the ways? 1:18:11.960 --> 1:18:12.479 Mike Wallace? 1:18:12.520 --> 1:18:14.360 Mike Wallace? Can we go back to the Red Sox 1:18:14.439 --> 1:18:15.080 thing real quick? 1:18:15.200 --> 1:18:16.559 Oh? You can't. 1:18:16.920 --> 1:18:20.240 So I just want to say, you gotta do you 1:18:20.400 --> 1:18:26.000 gotta separate these two things like this. To me, the 1:18:26.200 --> 1:18:28.160 movie that comes to mind when I think about these 1:18:28.200 --> 1:18:30.840 current Red Sox is Major League right. They're doing this 1:18:31.040 --> 1:18:35.559 in spite of ownership and upper management. They're not doing 1:18:35.640 --> 1:18:38.599 this because the team is pointed in the right direction 1:18:38.720 --> 1:18:41.080 and they like are getting the resources they need or 1:18:41.080 --> 1:18:44.240 they're doing good things. No, they're they're this is unbelievable 1:18:44.360 --> 1:18:44.960 what they're doing. 1:18:45.280 --> 1:18:47.519 So you don't you think obviously you think that they're 1:18:47.560 --> 1:18:50.560 playing way above their potential their abilities. 1:18:50.680 --> 1:18:53.880 Yeah, but I'm just yeah, but I'm also just saying 1:18:53.920 --> 1:18:58.120 that they have my My frustrations with the Red Sox 1:18:58.160 --> 1:19:01.240 everybody else is nothing to do with the players on 1:19:01.360 --> 1:19:03.920 the field. My frustration with the Red Sox has to 1:19:04.000 --> 1:19:05.719 do with the dude that sits in the owner's box. 1:19:06.600 --> 1:19:09.320 So that's why I don't like. I don't want to 1:19:09.360 --> 1:19:11.800 give him my money until he starts taking it zero. 1:19:11.920 --> 1:19:14.680 It's funny. I kind of agree with Evan, And you know, 1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:16.680 I made the comment like a month ago, like I 1:19:16.800 --> 1:19:18.320 just wish he would sell the team if he's not 1:19:18.400 --> 1:19:20.840 really interested in trying to win. And now they're on 1:19:20.920 --> 1:19:22.680 a winning streak and there's one guy on Twitter that 1:19:22.840 --> 1:19:26.839 he keeps tweeting me sell the team. I feel exactly 1:19:26.920 --> 1:19:28.840 the same way too, Like I want them to win 1:19:28.960 --> 1:19:31.680 every single game. I think, I think this is unbelievable. 1:19:31.720 --> 1:19:34.800 I was riveted to the game last night now, partly 1:19:34.880 --> 1:19:36.760 because my son went and we were teasing them, like 1:19:36.800 --> 1:19:38.439 you're not going to be allowed to go anymore if 1:19:38.479 --> 1:19:42.439 you break the streak. But we were watching it in 1:19:42.640 --> 1:19:44.679 like these games right now, the last three or four games, 1:19:44.760 --> 1:19:48.200 it's like electric in there. It's back to normal Fenway Park. 1:19:48.280 --> 1:19:51.879 It's not the other team's fans creating all the environment. 1:19:52.000 --> 1:19:55.479 It's back to the Red Sox excitement. But this is 1:19:55.640 --> 1:19:58.800 not a sustainable product. What's on the field right now 1:19:58.960 --> 1:20:02.200 is a bunch of four players playing out of their minds. 1:20:03.280 --> 1:20:06.000 They're catching every break imaginable. The other team made four 1:20:06.120 --> 1:20:09.479 errors last night. The last out was an absolute missile 1:20:09.640 --> 1:20:12.240 right at the shortstop to end the game. Like if 1:20:12.280 --> 1:20:16.320 that's a foot up left right? Like what? Like, you know, 1:20:16.400 --> 1:20:18.960 you're talking about a whole different thing. That's what happens 1:20:19.000 --> 1:20:22.240 in baseball from time to time. You catch fire, you 1:20:22.400 --> 1:20:24.880 catch the breaks. It just happened to the Marlins, a 1:20:25.080 --> 1:20:28.240 very average team that just went twenty one and six 1:20:28.320 --> 1:20:30.479 in June. They have the same exact record as the 1:20:30.520 --> 1:20:35.240 Red Sox. They're not very good either. Yeah, like it happens, 1:20:35.400 --> 1:20:38.280 But you know what, I don't care it's fun and 1:20:38.400 --> 1:20:41.200 I watched the weekend games. The Saturday game, the Abray 1:20:41.360 --> 1:20:42.800 home run was electric. 1:20:43.200 --> 1:20:45.040 But I don't want to I don't want to get 1:20:45.080 --> 1:20:47.720 it twisted because the emailer made it sound like we 1:20:47.880 --> 1:20:48.719 can't say anything. 1:20:48.800 --> 1:20:49.080 It's like. 1:20:50.680 --> 1:20:52.800 My issues with the Red Sox are not on the 1:20:52.840 --> 1:20:56.040 field level. My issues with the Red Sox are above that, 1:20:56.720 --> 1:20:59.040 which is why I won't renew our tickets. 1:20:59.240 --> 1:21:00.400 I've flight out. 1:21:00.400 --> 1:21:03.960 Won't until you start actually putting and investing into the team. 1:21:04.479 --> 1:21:06.599 Why should I invest in you? That's how I feel, 1:21:06.640 --> 1:21:07.880 And you know what my biggest fear is. 1:21:07.920 --> 1:21:12.400 For So the Roman Holiday contract wasn't investing in the team. 1:21:12.640 --> 1:21:15.360 Giving a guy a contract way too early before. 1:21:15.760 --> 1:21:17.920 It's a small contract, like, what do you mean, Well, 1:21:18.080 --> 1:21:20.720 for guy that age, that's a lot of But that's 1:21:20.760 --> 1:21:23.439 what they're trying to do. Yeah, they did because they 1:21:23.439 --> 1:21:24.639 don't want to have a Mookie Betts. 1:21:25.240 --> 1:21:27.599 They did it with Roman, they did it with Saydan Raphaela, 1:21:27.680 --> 1:21:29.920 they did it with all these guys. Mayo, if you're 1:21:29.920 --> 1:21:33.000 willing to sign early, they're more than willing to Christian Campbell, 1:21:33.240 --> 1:21:37.160 if they actually like invested in real resources into the team. 1:21:37.439 --> 1:21:38.559 They have a decent team. 1:21:39.000 --> 1:21:40.760 They could make it really good and be a World 1:21:40.840 --> 1:21:42.479 Series contender if they actually put it. 1:21:42.439 --> 1:21:45.519 In and they're doing it without Croquet. He's he's been. 1:21:45.439 --> 1:21:47.280 Hurt, and you know what. 1:21:49.920 --> 1:21:52.400 You know what My biggest fear is Trevor's story. My 1:21:52.520 --> 1:21:55.880 biggest fear right now is that they think they're right. 1:21:57.840 --> 1:22:00.960 They just you know, they just won whatever twenty twenty 1:22:01.040 --> 1:22:05.400 eight or whatever, and they think, see, the first three 1:22:05.439 --> 1:22:07.680 months were a fluke, the last three weeks or really 1:22:07.760 --> 1:22:09.559 what it is, this is what we thought all along, 1:22:10.320 --> 1:22:12.040 and they're gonna continue to try to win like this. 1:22:12.680 --> 1:22:16.639 And I'm just telling you, at some point the talent 1:22:16.760 --> 1:22:19.960 difference between the teams that they're playing is gonna shine through. 1:22:20.080 --> 1:22:24.280 They know pitching, the pitching has been excellent, Fred excellent. 1:22:25.400 --> 1:22:27.080 Do you think that Sonny Gray's this good? 1:22:28.520 --> 1:22:28.880 I don't know. 1:22:29.560 --> 1:22:31.680 He's been good this year all I know. 1:22:31.880 --> 1:22:34.640 But it's not sustainable, is what I'm saying. And my 1:22:34.880 --> 1:22:37.719 fear is they think that they're right and they've split 1:22:37.800 --> 1:22:40.040 the add on. We don't have to spend money like 1:22:40.120 --> 1:22:43.760 all those dumb teams that have good players. We don't 1:22:43.840 --> 1:22:46.519 have to do that. Fourteen in a row. 1:22:46.600 --> 1:22:48.360 The last couple of nights when they win and they 1:22:48.600 --> 1:22:51.000 show those guys in the in the boxes and stuff 1:22:51.040 --> 1:22:53.360 like that, and I'm like, Paul's right, they're gonna be. 1:22:53.400 --> 1:22:56.960 Like, see, we knew you could see that shot they 1:22:57.000 --> 1:22:59.160 had a preslo when the game ended last night, you 1:22:59.240 --> 1:22:59.879 could see. 1:22:59.720 --> 1:23:04.840 It right again. Yeah, like he's about to be he's 1:23:04.880 --> 1:23:05.920 about to be tarps off. 1:23:06.000 --> 1:23:08.280 And by the way, let me just say this in defense. 1:23:08.400 --> 1:23:11.000 I don't let whatever all that's going on take away 1:23:11.080 --> 1:23:12.880 my enjoyment of what's going on in the field. 1:23:13.000 --> 1:23:15.080 But we're separating the two.

So 1:23:19.439 --> 1:23:20.639 I I did watch. 1:23:21.040 --> 1:23:23.439 I've watched this weekend all the fun young man. 1:23:23.560 --> 1:23:28.320 I mean I I've watched like every game last Yeah. 1:23:28.360 --> 1:23:29.519 I don't know why we keep doing that. 1:23:32.040 --> 1:23:36.040 Yeah, I don't. 1:23:36.080 --> 1:23:39.120 I think what I'm doing is totally valid. Like they they. 1:23:40.760 --> 1:23:40.800 Do. 1:23:40.840 --> 1:23:42.920 You know how much it costs to go to a game, Okay, 1:23:43.000 --> 1:23:43.559 but like just to. 1:23:43.640 --> 1:23:47.160 Walk into the penalize the guys trying working their asses off. 1:23:47.000 --> 1:23:49.719 On how many times I said I'm separating those. 1:23:49.960 --> 1:23:51.200 Right, but he's not watching them. 1:23:51.479 --> 1:23:53.040 I literally watched last night. 1:23:53.120 --> 1:23:54.560 What do you mean? But but I would say that 1:23:54.720 --> 1:23:57.120 I have watched and you know that I but you 1:23:57.200 --> 1:23:58.160 know I wasn't. 1:23:58.360 --> 1:24:00.960 Sorry, but I'm not gonna watch when they're thirty. 1:24:01.400 --> 1:24:03.880 I've watched the Tampa Bay series coming out of the 1:24:03.920 --> 1:24:05.120 break was was a lot of fun. 1:24:05.160 --> 1:24:07.640 You can't resist the good bouncing ball on TV. You 1:24:07.760 --> 1:24:10.760 can't resist I don't care what the sport is, see 1:24:10.760 --> 1:24:11.360 who's playing. 1:24:11.840 --> 1:24:14.080 I can tell you I could resist watching World Cup 1:24:14.160 --> 1:24:17.439 Final games that evidently weren't sleep inducing. It were good, 1:24:17.520 --> 1:24:21.439 but it was good. I would say that the excitement 1:24:21.560 --> 1:24:23.800 level of I didn't watch Sunday because I told you 1:24:23.920 --> 1:24:26.759 I was out golfing, But I watched Saturday. I watched 1:24:26.800 --> 1:24:30.360 the second game with the doubleheader on Friday, and the 1:24:30.479 --> 1:24:33.840 game last night was absolutely riveting. It was a great 1:24:34.120 --> 1:24:38.240 baseball for a regular season game. Now, obviously I wouldn't 1:24:38.240 --> 1:24:40.320 have been glued to the if they hadn't won thirteen 1:24:40.360 --> 1:24:42.080 in a row and it was just like, you know, 1:24:42.200 --> 1:24:44.360 they won the last game after losing the previous two. 1:24:45.160 --> 1:24:47.479 I wouldn't have been watching as intently as I was. 1:24:47.760 --> 1:24:49.760 But I'm sorry. When you win fourteen in a row 1:24:50.880 --> 1:24:53.679 like as Bob Costa says, in that clip from Moneyball, 1:24:53.920 --> 1:24:56.920 like the randomness of baseball like that to me is fun. 1:24:57.439 --> 1:25:00.280 That's intriguing, that's like, how can you know? I get 1:25:00.320 --> 1:25:00.800 caught up in it. 1:25:00.840 --> 1:25:03.519 I went to see The Odyssey last night. It was 1:25:03.720 --> 1:25:04.160 really good. 1:25:04.360 --> 1:25:05.559 You didn't watch the Red so. 1:25:07.160 --> 1:25:14.120 So he's yelling at me, my goodness, stop it yelling 1:25:14.160 --> 1:25:14.560 as you know. 1:25:14.640 --> 1:25:15.960 It's a dark theater in your check. 1:25:16.800 --> 1:25:17.400 Unbelievable. 1:25:17.760 --> 1:25:18.639 What was your movie review? 1:25:19.400 --> 1:25:19.799 Excellent? 1:25:19.920 --> 1:25:22.000 Movie excellent, Yeah, really really good. 1:25:22.000 --> 1:25:23.040 I want to go see it.

Very confusing. 1:25:36.560 --> 1:25:38.000 But I want to try this new movie theater here, 1:25:38.040 --> 1:25:40.960 but they don't they have good deals on tickets like 1:25:41.040 --> 1:25:41.919 eight dollar matinees. 1:25:42.000 --> 1:25:44.920 Oh yeah, I heard. It's another uh in the growing 1:25:45.439 --> 1:25:48.360 genre of its nonlinear jumps around a little bit. 1:25:48.720 --> 1:25:51.800 Yeah, just going you go back and forth in time. 1:25:52.960 --> 1:25:55.840 I like the way he presented it.

He's dead? 1:26:12.680 --> 1:26:13.760 He died in the. 1:26:15.200 --> 1:26:20.280 Actually in the actual poem the Odyssey, Uh, there's a 1:26:20.360 --> 1:26:24.439 part where Odysseus goes to Hades and he meets up 1:26:24.479 --> 1:26:28.200 with Achilles and as well as some other legends of 1:26:28.479 --> 1:26:29.120 Greek Lord. 1:26:29.320 --> 1:26:30.880 Go watch Troy with Brad Pitt. I was you know, 1:26:32.760 --> 1:26:35.840 did is this a movie that you really should see 1:26:35.880 --> 1:26:36.759 in the theater? 1:26:37.160 --> 1:26:40.640 I would think so, Yeah, I mean actually it was 1:26:40.680 --> 1:26:45.000 shot for Imax. I didn't see it an Imax, but yeah, 1:26:45.000 --> 1:26:46.000 if you can see it, and I know. 1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:49.440 Incredibly well, yeah, like three theaters in Massachusetts. 1:26:49.439 --> 1:26:52.120 It's three hours too, so you know, tack a lunch 1:26:52.240 --> 1:26:55.400 the days. But I I enjoyed it. 1:26:55.479 --> 1:26:56.120 It was really good. 1:26:56.360 --> 1:26:58.120 I've heard a lot of I haven't heard anybody have 1:26:58.479 --> 1:27:00.600 really many bad things going to go see it? This 1:27:00.680 --> 1:27:01.599 weekend was all sold out. 1:27:01.760 --> 1:27:05.200 Everything all right, A five to five pasts five hundred. 1:27:05.320 --> 1:27:08.080 Let's get to North Carolina. Eldred's on the phone, what's up? 1:27:08.120 --> 1:27:10.640 Eldred, There we go. 1:27:18.240 --> 1:27:20.080 How are y'all doing? Doing great? 1:27:22.280 --> 1:27:24.479 Okay, I'm doing pretty good too, But I got one 1:27:24.560 --> 1:27:25.240 serious question. 1:27:26.520 --> 1:27:32.040 Okay, anybody worry about Gonzallas holding out if they try 1:27:32.080 --> 1:27:34.439 to give him, don't give him to the stitches A. 1:27:34.439 --> 1:27:38.840 Little bit mildly mildly a little bit, Yeah, worried about 1:27:38.920 --> 1:27:42.240 him holding out camp, not not regular season games, but 1:27:42.840 --> 1:27:43.600 it might link that. 1:27:44.800 --> 1:27:45.920 Because he's not going to do that. 1:27:47.439 --> 1:27:50.240 A little bit for me, Eldred and holding out regular 1:27:50.280 --> 1:27:52.400 season and if he holds out like hold, if he 1:27:52.520 --> 1:27:55.960 has a hold in in camp, I worry about him 1:27:56.000 --> 1:27:58.280 not necessarily being ready to go at the start. And 1:27:58.479 --> 1:28:00.840 that's when like hamstrings pulled and stuff like. 1:28:01.920 --> 1:28:05.880 Yeah, and what's the deal with Akis? Is he uh 1:28:06.520 --> 1:28:07.000 on the team? 1:28:07.080 --> 1:28:09.680 And on the team we'll find out, I mean, this 1:28:09.880 --> 1:28:12.719 is any any day now, you'll find out my prediction 1:28:12.920 --> 1:28:15.400 for acuses he'll be here and they'll figure this out. 1:28:15.720 --> 1:28:17.679 Yeah, I mean healthy. 1:28:17.880 --> 1:28:20.200 Well, I mean if we don't see squats, did you 1:28:20.240 --> 1:28:20.519 see that? 1:28:21.200 --> 1:28:21.479 Great? 1:28:22.240 --> 1:28:24.759 I mean that's question one or two for Rabel probably 1:28:24.880 --> 1:28:25.759 on Friday when. 1:28:26.560 --> 1:28:32.240 Prescott, well, my prediction is thirteen and four and that's 1:28:32.280 --> 1:28:33.000 a very u. 1:28:36.720 --> 1:28:37.519 Thirteen in fo. 1:28:37.800 --> 1:28:39.519 Okay thirteen and four. 1:28:39.600 --> 1:28:43.559 I like it without training for DK, all right, thanks 1:28:43.600 --> 1:28:44.360 Aldred DK. 1:28:44.520 --> 1:28:47.559 But but we got a J. We don't need DK 1:28:47.840 --> 1:28:49.120 all right, thanks Aldred. 1:28:49.160 --> 1:28:50.040 Appreciate the call. 1:28:52.439 --> 1:28:55.680 Let's see. Kyle writes in from Pembroke joint practices. We've 1:28:55.680 --> 1:28:59.200 got three of them this year. Are infamous for having fights. 1:28:59.560 --> 1:29:02.040 We have joint practices with the Eagles, who haven't had 1:29:02.040 --> 1:29:05.040 a good uh split with Brown. So I have to ask, 1:29:05.160 --> 1:29:07.280 what do you think the odds are we get a 1:29:07.400 --> 1:29:10.839 Rabel versus Siriani the want to be hard oh scrap 1:29:11.040 --> 1:29:14.679 during one of the two joint practices doesn't want that smoke. 1:29:15.479 --> 1:29:17.280 I think you have a better chance of seeing a 1:29:17.439 --> 1:29:21.240 Rabel Sirianni altercation than anything involving a J. Brown because 1:29:21.600 --> 1:29:24.920 from what I've been told and Red, they love him 1:29:25.240 --> 1:29:27.240 the Eagles. The Eagles love a J. Brown. Right now, 1:29:27.320 --> 1:29:29.559 I'm not sure that Jalen Hurts and a J. Brown 1:29:29.600 --> 1:29:33.240 are as close as they once were. But I didn't 1:29:33.320 --> 1:29:35.320 heard a bad thing about a J. Brown from a 1:29:35.479 --> 1:29:38.360 member of the Eagles. Really, have you No? I heard 1:29:38.439 --> 1:29:40.080 all just glowing things. 1:29:40.439 --> 1:29:42.559 What about Elliott Woolf versus Howie Rose? 1:29:46.760 --> 1:29:50.400 We bring we bring Breslo in from over they like, 1:29:51.000 --> 1:29:54.040 don't put pres on the same they press. 1:29:55.840 --> 1:29:56.000 Right. 1:29:56.439 --> 1:29:58.240 I didn't want to give Breslow as flowers though I 1:29:58.280 --> 1:29:59.599 think he had a really good off season. 1:29:59.640 --> 1:30:04.160 Anyway, continue I'm a little interested about Gonzales and just 1:30:04.240 --> 1:30:06.479 you know, is there a certain point where the team 1:30:06.600 --> 1:30:08.600 he wants too much and the team says, now, like, 1:30:08.680 --> 1:30:09.080 I don't know. 1:30:09.200 --> 1:30:11.920 And that's kind of a holdover from well, they're waiting 1:30:12.000 --> 1:30:15.600 for Witherspoon right and Witherspoon's waiting for him where I 1:30:15.720 --> 1:30:18.760 came a chicken right now? The latest thing I saw 1:30:19.000 --> 1:30:22.000 was that. And I don't know how someone determined this, 1:30:22.160 --> 1:30:25.400 but the line of thought is now that Witherspoon will 1:30:25.400 --> 1:30:28.120 be the first one to sign. So I don't know, 1:30:28.240 --> 1:30:32.519 like they're represented by the same firm, the same aiden 1:30:32.560 --> 1:30:35.200 as Reggie Johnson. I think, I forget I forget a 1:30:35.439 --> 1:30:39.880 c AA, I believe. But if you go by that 1:30:40.040 --> 1:30:44.320 Jeremy Fowler rankings from all like all the personnel people, 1:30:44.439 --> 1:30:48.559 you know, Gonzales was three, Witherspoon was four. Maybe they 1:30:48.760 --> 1:30:51.000 use that as a well that's a I mean, that's 1:30:51.080 --> 1:30:53.120 just it's a little subjective list, but it gives you 1:30:53.200 --> 1:30:55.120 a little bit of an idea. So Witherspoon should go 1:30:55.240 --> 1:30:57.920 first and then Gonzales should re up them. I don't 1:30:57.960 --> 1:30:58.880 know if Witherspoon is. 1:30:59.240 --> 1:31:00.400 That it's the same firm. 1:31:00.880 --> 1:31:02.759 Yeah, I think they have the same agent. 1:31:02.920 --> 1:31:03.720 They do, so. 1:31:05.200 --> 1:31:06.280 Make it complicates it? 1:31:06.439 --> 1:31:07.559 I think? Because it does. 1:31:07.760 --> 1:31:10.120 You can't say to Gonzales, listen, let him go whatever 1:31:10.200 --> 1:31:13.160 he gets, we'll give you five percent more, right, you know. 1:31:14.080 --> 1:31:15.640 But if it's the same agent and. 1:31:15.720 --> 1:31:17.840 Now and now he's saying, like, you know you should 1:31:17.880 --> 1:31:21.080 go first, well no, make him go first. Yeah right, 1:31:21.720 --> 1:31:25.040 you know I'm better who knows? But I think they 1:31:25.120 --> 1:31:30.240 both have a very legitimate claim to that. Yeah, title obviously, 1:31:30.240 --> 1:31:32.200 I mean being better there with one was three and 1:31:32.280 --> 1:31:35.679 one was four different types of yeah right yeah. 1:31:35.560 --> 1:31:38.080 But does the agent? Does it make it more complicated 1:31:38.160 --> 1:31:40.680 for the agent too, because if he gets more for 1:31:40.880 --> 1:31:44.200 one like by it than the other, right right, yeah. 1:31:44.360 --> 1:31:48.080 Yeah, So I mean it's gonna I don't think we're 1:31:48.120 --> 1:31:51.479 going to be like in different ballparks here, Like it's 1:31:52.000 --> 1:31:55.200 if Gonzales gets thirty two, then maybe Wetherspoon gets thirty 1:31:55.240 --> 1:31:57.040 two in a quarter, right, Like, It's not like they're 1:31:57.040 --> 1:32:00.400 going to be forty like I shouldn't. 1:32:00.000 --> 1:32:02.920 Blow it out of the water more, but you never know. Yeah, 1:32:03.040 --> 1:32:04.320 I've heard some different things. 1:32:04.640 --> 1:32:08.479 Mike and Bocoverton about the cornerbacks for the Patriots. He says, 1:32:08.520 --> 1:32:12.400 Patriots all time number one cornerback is Mike Haynes and 1:32:12.520 --> 1:32:16.120 number two isn't even close. Haines was on the NFL 1:32:16.240 --> 1:32:18.320 all time Top one hundred team, but also because of 1:32:18.360 --> 1:32:19.360 his returning skills. 1:32:19.439 --> 1:32:22.160 Right, no, no, but Haines was on the all time 1:32:22.840 --> 1:32:24.679 NFL team because of his work with the Raiders. 1:32:25.240 --> 1:32:26.800 Well true, Yeah, I. 1:32:26.800 --> 1:32:27.800 Didn't want to bring that up. 1:32:27.920 --> 1:32:30.160 Also, just tuned in.

I'll take ten. 1:33:27.840 --> 1:33:31.839 Although Pro Bowl selections are usually a popularity contest, amount 1:33:31.920 --> 1:33:34.360 of Patriots who make the Pro Bowl three and a hay. 1:33:36.640 --> 1:33:38.400 I'm gonna go over on that because I think they 1:33:38.439 --> 1:33:40.000 went to the Super Bowl last year, and usually your 1:33:40.040 --> 1:33:42.080 a year behind on some of the players, so you'll 1:33:42.120 --> 1:33:42.799 start to get. 1:33:42.800 --> 1:33:43.599 Some of that resision. 1:33:44.479 --> 1:33:48.040 I think three is easy, right, you got maybe Gonzales, 1:33:48.160 --> 1:33:49.760 Milton Williams, and Drake May. 1:33:49.960 --> 1:33:50.840 I don't think that's easy. 1:33:50.960 --> 1:33:53.280 I don't think it's easy either, at the risk of 1:33:53.400 --> 1:33:56.960 going off, Fred, are we talking actual Pro bowlers or 1:33:57.120 --> 1:33:58.120 guys that say they went to. 1:33:59.680 --> 1:34:02.479 All because, like you said, it popular second team. I 1:34:02.600 --> 1:34:05.639 actually think that it's the initial roster. 1:34:05.960 --> 1:34:09.120 Yeah right, that that's what CENTI. That's what the censorship 1:34:09.160 --> 1:34:10.240 based on, right, Yeah. 1:34:10.160 --> 1:34:14.000 Yeah, that that initial roster is actually still semi legit. 1:34:14.160 --> 1:34:16.080 Yeah, I'm going to take the under. Then, for the 1:34:16.160 --> 1:34:16.599 same reason. 1:34:16.640 --> 1:34:19.719 Evan said, yeah, okay, total points scored against the Jets 1:34:19.760 --> 1:34:22.280 this year, total points scored two games, fifty four and 1:34:22.320 --> 1:34:25.800 a hay over over over over. 1:34:26.040 --> 1:34:27.720 Okay, I think they might score fifty four. 1:34:27.840 --> 1:34:30.479 You never know what those AFC East games, you never 1:34:30.600 --> 1:34:32.160 know in the division. 1:34:31.920 --> 1:34:34.559 Some additions on defense. One of those games is really 1:34:34.600 --> 1:34:36.840 late in the season, right, Yeah, that I missed the 1:34:36.960 --> 1:34:38.720 second last one, so it could be a weather game. 1:34:40.160 --> 1:34:41.840 That's a good number. Fifty four and a half's a 1:34:41.880 --> 1:34:43.919 good number. I'll take the old. Just to be consistent 1:34:43.960 --> 1:34:46.320 with everybody else, I'm gonna take the under. I'm gonna 1:34:46.320 --> 1:34:46.920 take the under. 1:34:47.439 --> 1:34:47.800 The Jets. 1:34:48.040 --> 1:34:52.200 Uh home field goals made over fifty five yards by 1:34:52.320 --> 1:34:54.559 borogalas to and a hay under. 1:34:56.040 --> 1:35:00.320 Drake don't really fields this year. Offense is unstoppable. I don't. 1:35:00.400 --> 1:35:04.120 I don't think is like a long range. 1:35:04.120 --> 1:35:05.920 He had he had one last year? Though, didn't He 1:35:05.960 --> 1:35:08.519 didn't he have like a fifty seven yard year? Did 1:35:08.600 --> 1:35:11.680 I just invent that he might have? He went up? 1:35:11.920 --> 1:35:14.240 I did say that he doesn't have range. 1:35:14.479 --> 1:35:16.559 You know he's not, But like three of them, he's 1:35:16.600 --> 1:35:16.920 not a lot. 1:35:17.040 --> 1:35:19.040 Aubrey is kicking sixty plus yard field. 1:35:19.439 --> 1:35:21.800 See, I'm going with the Mike Mike do Soau theory. 1:35:21.920 --> 1:35:23.800 The offense will not be stopped. We don't need to 1:35:23.840 --> 1:35:26.400 be kicking sixty year field goals. That's what happens in down. 1:35:26.600 --> 1:35:29.720 T Throws for over fifty yards two and. 1:35:29.720 --> 1:35:31.400 A hey, yeah he had a sixty three yard and 1:35:31.560 --> 1:35:34.439 against Denver sixty three that's what it said. 1:35:34.640 --> 1:35:38.160 No, no, that was a sorry, it was a long. Yeah, 1:35:38.280 --> 1:35:39.400 he missed my sorry. 1:35:40.400 --> 1:35:42.920 Touchdowns for over fifty yards plus two and a hay 1:35:44.120 --> 1:35:48.639 over over fifty yards yeah, under over over. 1:35:48.760 --> 1:35:49.759 That's deep streak. 1:35:49.800 --> 1:35:52.120 May we're talking about deep Come on, come on, now, 1:35:53.360 --> 1:35:55.080 come on now, Paul, you know I got an emmy 1:35:55.800 --> 1:35:56.320 pretty good. 1:35:56.479 --> 1:35:58.880 I didn't say he didn't have an anim Has that been? 1:35:58.920 --> 1:35:59.360 What are you in? 1:35:59.479 --> 1:36:02.040 Workshopping a little bit? 1:36:03.040 --> 1:36:04.080 So he didn't have any. 1:36:06.280 --> 1:36:12.640 Let's see, back to the phone. We got Chucky in Wisconsin. 1:36:12.800 --> 1:36:15.240 What's up, Chucky gees in Wisconsin? 1:36:16.120 --> 1:36:18.360 Yeah, yeah, hey guys, thanks for taking my call and 1:36:18.439 --> 1:36:19.000 welcome back. 1:36:19.400 --> 1:36:20.960 Thanks to the guy who's been away. 1:36:21.680 --> 1:36:24.160 Hey, I got one that's been festering for a few 1:36:24.360 --> 1:36:26.280 months now, and I thought the off season here as 1:36:26.320 --> 1:36:28.280 we're wrapping up, might be a good time to get it, 1:36:28.400 --> 1:36:29.200 Paul A little. 1:36:28.960 --> 1:36:34.080 Bit good so good luck both shows, So. 1:36:34.160 --> 1:36:36.519 Evan's in on this too. Both shows we talked about 1:36:36.600 --> 1:36:41.040 drag May and the playoff performances, and I guess I'm 1:36:41.080 --> 1:36:45.240 sort of an analytics guy at heart. But ultimately, if 1:36:45.280 --> 1:36:49.120 you look at the weather in the Houston game, why 1:36:49.160 --> 1:36:51.639 are people we shouldn't put the ball on the ground. 1:36:52.520 --> 1:36:56.320 Why are people griping about three really beautiful touchdown passes 1:36:57.360 --> 1:37:00.560 and saying that he didn't perform in the playoffs. So 1:37:00.840 --> 1:37:02.519 thanks for taking the call, and I'll take it off 1:37:02.560 --> 1:37:02.840 the air. 1:37:03.000 --> 1:37:06.680 Okay, all right, I thought we were going to have 1:37:06.760 --> 1:37:09.640 a talk like those we can't hit and run just 1:37:09.720 --> 1:37:13.479 a drive by? Yeah, I mean he maybe the best 1:37:13.520 --> 1:37:16.040 throw that I saw and making the all the playoffs 1:37:16.240 --> 1:37:18.360 was the throw to Hunter Henry for a touchdown against 1:37:18.360 --> 1:37:22.000 the Chargers. Like I can pick out plays that were 1:37:22.080 --> 1:37:25.640 really good throws, but when you complete fifty percent of 1:37:25.720 --> 1:37:29.280 your passes like the like, the body of your work 1:37:29.520 --> 1:37:32.479 just wasn't that good. When you fumbled the ball how 1:37:32.520 --> 1:37:36.080 many times four in the Houston games? And does that 1:37:36.200 --> 1:37:36.679 not count? 1:37:37.680 --> 1:37:39.719 Analytically? He did not play well in the playoffs. 1:37:41.280 --> 1:37:49.040 Analytically eyeball test. Yeah, like he did enough to win 1:37:49.160 --> 1:37:51.639 the games and he deserves credit for that. And yes, 1:37:51.720 --> 1:37:53.760 he played against good defenses, and yes he played in 1:37:53.840 --> 1:37:55.639 bad weather, but he didn't play that well. 1:37:55.600 --> 1:37:56.680 That's the question, you know. 1:37:57.080 --> 1:37:57.760 So for Chuck e. 1:37:57.840 --> 1:38:00.519 Cheese, I'm the throw it back at you, but you 1:38:00.600 --> 1:38:04.439 know you decided to leave. What if the Patriots defense 1:38:04.479 --> 1:38:05.760 hadn't been playing so well? 1:38:05.960 --> 1:38:08.519 Well, I would also say, like, so he made a 1:38:08.600 --> 1:38:10.840 great throw, like I said to Hunter Henry, and he 1:38:10.960 --> 1:38:14.800 made a great throw like to Dig, Like we're just 1:38:14.880 --> 1:38:17.880 counting all the touchdowns of great throws, Like does Digs 1:38:17.960 --> 1:38:20.200 not get any credit for that ridiculous catch in the 1:38:20.280 --> 1:38:21.840 end zone in Houston? That was like right in the 1:38:21.840 --> 1:38:24.599 middle of like three guys. Yes, the throw was perfect, 1:38:25.000 --> 1:38:28.200 but how many guys catch that? And I'm sorry, the 1:38:28.320 --> 1:38:33.400 booty catch is ridiculous. That was amazing better catch? Yeah, right, right, 1:38:33.479 --> 1:38:37.520 So you made the same throw and that ball's incomplete 1:38:38.560 --> 1:38:40.519 and no one's saying, oh geez, you know that ball's 1:38:40.560 --> 1:38:43.920 got to get caught. But that's just the fine line. 1:38:44.000 --> 1:38:47.040 Like the Patriots had a special year last year and 1:38:47.160 --> 1:38:49.400 those things all went for them, and Drake May was 1:38:49.439 --> 1:38:52.080 part of that and the receivers were part of that, 1:38:52.280 --> 1:38:55.320 like they deserve to win those games because they made 1:38:55.360 --> 1:38:58.439 those plays. But it wasn't just Drake May making those 1:38:58.520 --> 1:39:01.280 plays in the playoffs. Now, a lot of times during 1:39:01.320 --> 1:39:03.479 the regular season it was Drake May, but in the 1:39:03.520 --> 1:39:07.280 playoffs it was, as Fred said, the defense dominating all 1:39:07.320 --> 1:39:10.599 those turnovers. And then Marcus Jones completely changed the I mean, 1:39:10.600 --> 1:39:12.040 I know that he didn't have a lot to he 1:39:12.160 --> 1:39:14.920 caught a punt. Yeah, it was it Milton Williams that 1:39:15.040 --> 1:39:17.280 killed Stroud on that play that he threw up the 1:39:17.600 --> 1:39:20.880 punch for grabs. Yeah, that completely changed that games. Yeah, 1:39:20.880 --> 1:39:23.519 I mean he had his moments. 1:39:23.680 --> 1:39:25.600 You know, you don't win three playoff games without your 1:39:25.680 --> 1:39:28.240 quarterback having some moments, but just the sum total of it, 1:39:28.360 --> 1:39:29.760 you know, no, we didn't have many. 1:39:29.840 --> 1:39:32.840 We talked about like the Denver game. You know, the 1:39:33.160 --> 1:39:35.679 one of the biggest plays was that twenty eight yards 1:39:35.760 --> 1:39:39.439 scramble that he had or you know, the flee flicker play. 1:39:40.000 --> 1:39:43.080 But you can't tell me that Drake May had a 1:39:43.160 --> 1:39:44.559 good offensive game in Denver. 1:39:45.040 --> 1:39:48.880 Yeah, I mean, the weather is going to be the weather, right. 1:39:48.960 --> 1:39:49.479 It's the weather. 1:39:49.560 --> 1:39:52.639 Weather affected that game, and it affected the Houston game. 1:39:52.760 --> 1:39:55.120 Right, But my point is is maybe the defenses won't 1:39:55.160 --> 1:39:57.200 be as good because I was a gauntlet. Let's face it, Like, 1:39:57.280 --> 1:40:00.560 you know, like Houston, Seattle, Denver was three of the 1:40:00.640 --> 1:40:03.719 best defense in the league all year long. But January 1:40:03.800 --> 1:40:06.360 football and Foxborough is going to be bad weather, Like 1:40:06.640 --> 1:40:09.120 when they get into the playoffs every single year they're not. 1:40:09.240 --> 1:40:11.120 It's not going to be seventy in sunny, It's going 1:40:11.200 --> 1:40:11.800 to be bad weather. 1:40:11.880 --> 1:40:16.240 How did the defense play and those those three playoff games, right, 1:40:16.400 --> 1:40:20.160 the Patriots defense. We don't say, well, there was bad 1:40:20.240 --> 1:40:22.360 weather for the other team right now. No, we say 1:40:22.360 --> 1:40:24.800 the Patriots defense played great because they did the red 1:40:24.880 --> 1:40:27.280 zone defense woke up for the first time all year. 1:40:27.720 --> 1:40:30.720 But how about the stunts and the pressure that we 1:40:30.760 --> 1:40:31.559 didn't see all year? 1:40:31.600 --> 1:40:31.800 They did? 1:40:31.840 --> 1:40:33.360 They don't have that amount of pressure. 1:40:33.439 --> 1:40:34.600 We might have ruined c J. 1:40:34.760 --> 1:40:35.120 Stroud. 1:40:35.320 --> 1:40:42.600 I mean either right, Herbert took a beating that now, absolutely, 1:40:43.360 --> 1:40:44.599 and they already had one hand. 1:40:44.720 --> 1:40:45.360 He was already. 1:40:45.880 --> 1:40:48.240 But like, we don't say, like, no, the weather was 1:40:48.320 --> 1:40:50.880 bad so c J. Stroud was was turnover prone. 1:40:50.920 --> 1:40:53.040 No, we say the Patriots defense killed Yeah, that was 1:40:53.080 --> 1:40:55.120 the Milwilliams When I was that popped into my head 1:40:55.120 --> 1:40:55.679 when you said. 1:40:55.560 --> 1:40:59.960 That was on was on Herbert, Yeah, David and Florida. 1:41:00.600 --> 1:41:03.439 I work retail, and so once I'm completely caught up 1:41:03.520 --> 1:41:05.800 on the podcast, I often go back a few years 1:41:05.920 --> 1:41:08.760 to listen to old shows from when they do that. 1:41:08.880 --> 1:41:12.880 I don't don't judge me, Evan, some of us have 1:41:13.040 --> 1:41:13.400 to work. 1:41:13.560 --> 1:41:18.240 I'm not judging you. I'm just judging you. Why do 1:41:18.320 --> 1:41:20.320 you like there's got to be something better that you 1:41:20.360 --> 1:41:20.600 can do? 1:41:21.320 --> 1:41:23.519 I could not help but notice the first show after 1:41:23.680 --> 1:41:27.040 drafting Cole Strange, the best compliment the panel could give 1:41:27.120 --> 1:41:30.200 about Strange was Fred saying, listen, what I hear is 1:41:30.240 --> 1:41:32.680 that he's a really nice guy. And that made me 1:41:32.920 --> 1:41:33.599 laugh out loud. 1:41:33.760 --> 1:41:39.200 This was before Evan, right, don't play it. 1:41:42.200 --> 1:41:46.320 I don't know what to say. The Patriots have drafted 1:41:47.160 --> 1:41:51.280 offensive Strange from Chattanooga. We can stop it there. 1:41:53.439 --> 1:41:56.880 Like there's a question like, really along the same line, 1:41:56.920 --> 1:41:59.200 do you guys ever go back and watch full games 1:41:59.560 --> 1:42:01.720 during the odd days of the off season, not just 1:42:01.880 --> 1:42:04.960 for film breakdown? If so, what games are go tos? 1:42:05.040 --> 1:42:08.599 I personally love rewatching primetime games like the Giants Monday 1:42:08.680 --> 1:42:10.840 night football game, great show. 1:42:11.040 --> 1:42:13.720 I mean I don't watch. I don't games I do. 1:42:13.920 --> 1:42:15.560 I do will flip on some highlights from time to 1:42:15.600 --> 1:42:17.599 time when I feel like, wait, what happened in that game? 1:42:17.600 --> 1:42:19.720 Because I find I don't know if it's just doing 1:42:19.760 --> 1:42:21.519 this job or maybe it's just getting old. Like Paul 1:42:21.600 --> 1:42:25.160 we talk about, I have trouble like what exactly happened 1:42:25.200 --> 1:42:26.519 in that game? You know, like they all kind of 1:42:26.520 --> 1:42:28.880 start to blend together. So sometimes but the super Bowl, 1:42:28.960 --> 1:42:31.400 I haven't watched really. I mean I've looked at parts 1:42:31.439 --> 1:42:32.519 of it, but I haven't watched. 1:42:32.680 --> 1:42:34.720 I haven't. I haven't watched the super Bowl either. The 1:42:34.840 --> 1:42:37.479 only thing I would say sometimes NFL network will just 1:42:37.560 --> 1:42:40.800 replay random right and whether the Patriots or not. I 1:42:40.960 --> 1:42:43.679 would never sit there and watch three hours of a replay, 1:42:43.760 --> 1:42:46.160 but like I would maybe clicking on in highlight, Oh 1:42:46.280 --> 1:42:50.280 you watch this drive? No, not unless there's something very specific. 1:42:51.640 --> 1:42:52.519 It's not at midnight. 1:42:53.120 --> 1:42:55.120 No, But like I've watches them the first time and 1:42:55.200 --> 1:42:56.599 then and then he watches it again. 1:42:56.800 --> 1:42:59.040 Yeah, I'm not a big case he missed any I'm 1:42:59.040 --> 1:43:01.880 not a big rewatch guy. And that might be because 1:43:01.920 --> 1:43:04.240 of that weird thing that I have with the recall, 1:43:05.120 --> 1:43:08.479 Like I kind of remember the sequence? Yeah, now again, 1:43:09.120 --> 1:43:12.479 ask me what happened like two hours ago? I can't 1:43:12.560 --> 1:43:12.760 tell you. 1:43:13.960 --> 1:43:17.000 Uh, Sam writes in I haven't seen it yet, but 1:43:17.280 --> 1:43:20.080 love it of Fred loved the show. Oh that he's 1:43:20.120 --> 1:43:24.120 talking about he's talking about Live at the Toby House. 1:43:24.280 --> 1:43:26.519 Oh okay, I thought he was talking about Fortunately I hope. 1:43:26.560 --> 1:43:31.880 So anyway, go subscribe. What do you guys think the 1:43:32.000 --> 1:43:35.400 headlines will be after the first week of training camp? 1:43:35.479 --> 1:43:38.719 What will Felger be grilling Greg Bagard on Will Campbell? 1:43:39.760 --> 1:43:43.439 How's will Campbell look through the first three practices in shorts? 1:43:44.200 --> 1:43:44.360 Yeah? 1:43:46.280 --> 1:43:48.560 Is Caleb Blom who already pushed it to do it? 1:43:48.800 --> 1:43:49.200 Go ahead? 1:43:49.320 --> 1:43:50.400 Now do you do? 1:43:50.520 --> 1:43:52.000 Fel I'll do Badard? 1:43:52.120 --> 1:43:54.720 Now you when you drafted him that this was the 1:43:54.760 --> 1:43:55.759 player you were getting. 1:43:55.960 --> 1:43:59.160 Headline Drake may guaranteed not to regress. 1:43:59.720 --> 1:44:02.040 That'll be the head I I think. 1:44:02.120 --> 1:44:04.479 There's a strong chance it's where's Gonzales? How are they 1:44:04.520 --> 1:44:05.280 going to figure this out? 1:44:05.800 --> 1:44:08.479 The number one thing is Gonzales. If you're tell me 1:44:08.600 --> 1:44:12.440 that he has not had a contract and he's participating 1:44:12.560 --> 1:44:15.479 fully in camp, then maybe it'll go away. But if 1:44:15.560 --> 1:44:18.240 he's doing anything resembling what he did in the spring 1:44:18.400 --> 1:44:20.640 without a contract. That's the number one thing. And then 1:44:20.720 --> 1:44:24.360 the second thing is AJ Brown. How's A Brown Brown? Yeah, 1:44:24.360 --> 1:44:25.559 I mean that's I think to football. 1:44:25.600 --> 1:44:27.679 I mean i'd put Akis in kind of the Gonzales 1:44:27.760 --> 1:44:30.439 bucket of the two outstanding personnel issues. 1:44:31.120 --> 1:44:32.400 But yeah, I think A J. 1:44:32.520 --> 1:44:34.840 Brown will certainly be a big focus as we get 1:44:34.880 --> 1:44:36.960 into it. You know, how's Drake looking? 1:44:37.000 --> 1:44:40.160 Your two and you know, are of these young guys improving? 1:44:40.400 --> 1:44:41.479 You know that kind of stuff. 1:44:41.560 --> 1:44:44.360 One of the headlines will read this book AJ Brown 1:44:44.479 --> 1:44:45.599 sparkles in camp. 1:44:46.720 --> 1:44:49.320 I mean, are we thinking AJ Brown is going to 1:44:49.360 --> 1:44:51.920 do anything else besides AJ Brown? 1:44:52.000 --> 1:44:54.360 But they'll they'll that'll be you know, obviously it a 1:44:54.479 --> 1:44:55.400 headline when he does. 1:44:55.920 --> 1:44:57.920 Okay, I just feel like, you know, you don't feel 1:44:57.920 --> 1:45:00.400 like we're going to overreact to like AJ Brown? Did 1:45:00.439 --> 1:45:02.240 you see that? Like I felt like I wrote like 1:45:02.920 --> 1:45:05.720 one hundred words on his catching mini camp to lead 1:45:05.800 --> 1:45:10.880 my feature for the book over it totally overreacted Maybe in. 1:45:11.000 --> 1:45:13.640 That sense I thought you meant more like is like 1:45:13.800 --> 1:45:16.880 working with AJ Brown? Because you're saying fulger and Maz Like, 1:45:16.960 --> 1:45:18.479 to me, that's the negative slant of. 1:45:19.040 --> 1:45:21.200 No, Like, well, I don't take it that way. I 1:45:21.280 --> 1:45:24.000 think that they're gonna be Look, what are the storylines, like, 1:45:24.120 --> 1:45:25.080 what are the big storylines? 1:45:25.080 --> 1:45:27.240 I like punching bags. 1:45:27.800 --> 1:45:30.439 So besides, I agree with the Gonzales stuff and the 1:45:30.520 --> 1:45:33.120 act and stuff like Will Campbell is, Will Campbell's gonna 1:45:33.120 --> 1:45:35.040 be one of them a lightning rod, right, you know, 1:45:35.200 --> 1:45:38.599 he's gonna ask Baard how Will Campbell looks? But Dodd's 1:45:38.600 --> 1:45:40.320 gonna say something like I had him. 1:45:42.600 --> 1:45:43.799 He had seven pluses. 1:45:43.920 --> 1:45:47.120 I had I had him for two plus plays in 1:45:47.240 --> 1:45:49.679 the one on ones he was one one and one, 1:45:50.360 --> 1:45:58.519 but the loss went against Draymond Jones, So that's trouble again, 1:45:58.840 --> 1:45:59.479 that's good. 1:45:59.720 --> 1:46:01.600 I would say along those lines, though, if there was 1:46:01.640 --> 1:46:04.479 a storyline of Achus is practicing or Elijah Ponder one 1:46:04.479 --> 1:46:06.439 of the young edge guys are kind of popping a 1:46:06.479 --> 1:46:07.920 little bit, like you know, and then that would be 1:46:07.960 --> 1:46:10.280 that maybe the opposite of the Will Campbell, like Elijah 1:46:10.320 --> 1:46:12.519 Ponder's been given Will Campbell a hard time. Is that 1:46:12.640 --> 1:46:14.599 a good sign for Elijah Ponder? Is that a buy 1:46:14.640 --> 1:46:15.759 a bad sign for Will Campbell? 1:46:15.760 --> 1:46:18.240 If you want to go completely negative, if that's the 1:46:18.280 --> 1:46:20.040 way you're looking at it with Felger, Like what's it 1:46:20.120 --> 1:46:23.439 going to be railing against my guess is the media 1:46:24.280 --> 1:46:29.760 because my shock, my my feel will be that we 1:46:29.880 --> 1:46:32.040 will all be writing a lot of really good stuff 1:46:32.120 --> 1:46:35.599 because like AJ Brown's gonna look good and Drake may 1:46:35.720 --> 1:46:38.439 is gonna look comfortable in year two and Felger is 1:46:38.479 --> 1:46:41.519 going to read all these stories. Oh, this is like 1:46:41.720 --> 1:46:44.400 the best team in football. You know, there's got to 1:46:44.439 --> 1:46:46.880 be something that's an issue down there. Is anybody see 1:46:46.960 --> 1:46:50.120 anything that you know? Because because every diary like we're dying, 1:46:50.200 --> 1:46:53.200 the punching bag will be the media because which is 1:46:53.479 --> 1:46:55.240 not feeding them in a negative. 1:46:54.960 --> 1:46:58.680 Very big The poor Celtics beat just gets right for 1:46:58.840 --> 1:46:59.320 the Coles. 1:47:00.760 --> 1:47:03.160 He has one guy, Gary Washburn is the only guy 1:47:03.200 --> 1:47:07.559 that he'll even take with any monica of legitimacy some. 1:47:07.640 --> 1:47:08.400 Of the things he says. 1:47:09.120 --> 1:47:14.919 I agree with Brandon's and Syracuse what's up Brandon Brandon? 1:47:15.439 --> 1:47:22.639 Syracuse Orange Men, No nothing, You're gone? Okay, Uh We'll 1:47:22.680 --> 1:47:26.000 go out to the west Johns and Wyoming, what's up? John? 1:47:27.680 --> 1:47:28.600 Hey? Can you guys hear me? 1:47:29.080 --> 1:47:29.280 Sure? 1:47:29.400 --> 1:47:34.080 Ken a long time listener, first time caller. I love 1:47:34.120 --> 1:47:34.800 your guys the show. 1:47:35.040 --> 1:47:38.680 I love that you guys do I hope Evan. 1:47:38.439 --> 1:47:40.719 And Paul had a good vacation. Thanks. 1:47:40.880 --> 1:47:41.160 Thanks. 1:47:41.400 --> 1:47:45.479 One question one of the Patriots rival Jersey's gonna be 1:47:45.479 --> 1:47:47.320 back in stock take it off there? 1:47:47.720 --> 1:47:50.400 Okay, thanks? Do we have the dates for the rivalry? 1:47:50.880 --> 1:47:52.240 I think they were gonna wear him twice. 1:47:52.320 --> 1:47:53.600 Maybe he wants to know that. 1:47:53.600 --> 1:47:55.720 I don't know that back in the stop is wand 1:47:55.760 --> 1:47:58.840 I I mean I was my understanding that it was 1:47:58.880 --> 1:48:00.880 in the spring sometime, but I I've not seen them yet. 1:48:00.920 --> 1:48:03.599 Maybe it's incomplicated by the World Cup and the whole 1:48:03.640 --> 1:48:05.120 Pro Shop had to move. I don't know if that 1:48:05.200 --> 1:48:07.120 had something to do with it, but they are moving 1:48:07.200 --> 1:48:09.160 back into the Pro Shop, so I mean I would hope. 1:48:09.200 --> 1:48:11.200 I don't know anything that they be back for training camp. 1:48:11.240 --> 1:48:12.160 That seems like, well, I. 1:48:12.280 --> 1:48:14.679 Find out and we'll get the answer. For Thursday's shows'll 1:48:14.680 --> 1:48:18.120 be done in spring before the World Rivalry and Jerseys 1:48:18.160 --> 1:48:20.640 back and stocked. Yeah, the popular item I had a 1:48:20.680 --> 1:48:22.720 lot of I wonder if they'll have new a new 1:48:22.800 --> 1:48:23.920 line of I mean. 1:48:23.880 --> 1:48:25.920 The colors will get and why you can because those 1:48:25.960 --> 1:48:26.919 things were like hotcakes. 1:48:27.120 --> 1:48:29.880 That was a real success, those rivalries, and. 1:48:29.960 --> 1:48:32.439 It like seemed like it grew on people like I 1:48:32.520 --> 1:48:34.640 feel like the original release, everybody was like, what the 1:48:34.720 --> 1:48:35.200 heck is that? 1:48:35.400 --> 1:48:37.240 And then like as people looked at it more. 1:48:37.439 --> 1:48:39.720 But you know, I had a sneak peek at that 1:48:39.920 --> 1:48:42.639 long before they got from the get go. I said, 1:48:42.680 --> 1:48:45.880 these are cool, like the white helmet with the current 1:48:46.000 --> 1:48:48.800 logo and the color was it was just I did 1:48:48.920 --> 1:48:51.120 like the color. They really it's really hard to go 1:48:51.400 --> 1:48:55.479 completely different from your scheme and be successful. I think 1:48:55.520 --> 1:48:56.439 that hit a home run. 1:48:56.520 --> 1:48:58.200 I too, I mean that was I thought. I mean 1:48:58.240 --> 1:49:00.240 it'd be interesting to see. I guess eight more teams 1:49:00.240 --> 1:49:01.920 will do them this year, so you'll get another sense 1:49:01.920 --> 1:49:03.160 of right, you know how many teams. 1:49:03.200 --> 1:49:05.360 That's a good point. I liked them all last year, 1:49:05.439 --> 1:49:07.800 and sooner or later someone's going to come with something 1:49:07.840 --> 1:49:10.320 you're like, oh my god, what would they think? That's awful? 1:49:10.680 --> 1:49:14.320 The Jets. The Jets have like an all white thing. Yeah, 1:49:14.479 --> 1:49:17.640 but it's I thought they I thought they maybe it 1:49:17.720 --> 1:49:19.880 has nothing to do with the rivalry thing, but I 1:49:19.960 --> 1:49:22.920 saw something white with the old white. 1:49:22.760 --> 1:49:27.280 Helmet kind of waving the white flat probably, but I did. 1:49:27.240 --> 1:49:29.559 Think it looked. It looked good. But like the Rams 1:49:29.600 --> 1:49:30.960 one last year was pretty good. 1:49:30.960 --> 1:49:35.519 I thought, I like the they wore one was kind 1:49:35.560 --> 1:49:35.960 of different. 1:49:36.080 --> 1:49:39.439 Yeah, I didn't really see one that I was like, Oh, usually, 1:49:39.760 --> 1:49:40.280 let's face it. 1:49:40.400 --> 1:49:44.439 Usually, I mean it's the swag also with the Patriots 1:49:44.560 --> 1:49:47.280 rivalry stuff, it is really cool, like the jackets and 1:49:47.320 --> 1:49:48.360 the hoodies and like. 1:49:48.800 --> 1:49:51.240 I think that I really like the Patriots stuff that 1:49:51.520 --> 1:49:53.680 that they they put out. I hope there is I 1:49:53.800 --> 1:49:56.760 agree with the caller. I hope that they produced more 1:49:56.760 --> 1:49:56.920 of that. 1:49:57.680 --> 1:49:58.759 It's in North Carolina. 1:49:58.840 --> 1:50:04.040 Hey, ed, Hey, hey, gentlemen, Oh, I didn't know I 1:50:04.160 --> 1:50:04.680 was through there. 1:50:04.880 --> 1:50:05.120 Use that. 1:50:08.400 --> 1:50:10.960 I've been listening since you drafted my fellow Tar Hill alum, 1:50:11.080 --> 1:50:14.880 Drake May of you, guys, I had an interesting kind 1:50:14.960 --> 1:50:17.280 of question for you, and it relates to the kickoff 1:50:17.400 --> 1:50:20.080 changes we've seen in the last couple of years. Knowing 1:50:20.200 --> 1:50:24.679 these kickoff changes want to kind of encourage kickoff returns. 1:50:25.200 --> 1:50:27.120 When are we going to see a team take a 1:50:27.360 --> 1:50:30.160 non kicker on special teams and have them kick off. 1:50:30.560 --> 1:50:32.880 It leaves you someone on the back end that can 1:50:33.000 --> 1:50:36.880 make the play if the returner breaks through. And quite frankly, gentlemen, 1:50:37.120 --> 1:50:39.120 it's not that hard to kick the ball fifty or 1:50:39.160 --> 1:50:39.880 sixty yards. 1:50:40.000 --> 1:50:43.080 What do you think, well, Kansas City did it a 1:50:43.160 --> 1:50:48.320 little bit, but I would think that it is kind 1:50:48.320 --> 1:50:50.960 of a specialized skill to kick the ball where you want. 1:50:51.040 --> 1:50:54.080 Especially the landing zone. 1:50:54.800 --> 1:50:58.600 I don't think that we've seen it be enough of 1:50:58.680 --> 1:51:02.919 an explosive play to need to put another like athlete 1:51:03.040 --> 1:51:05.280 on the field. If it was, like if there was 1:51:05.360 --> 1:51:07.960 like returns happening every single week and it was kind 1:51:08.000 --> 1:51:10.640 of what we're seeing more of is like can you 1:51:10.720 --> 1:51:13.080 get the thirty yard line is like sort of the 1:51:13.160 --> 1:51:16.280 line of demarcation that most coaches are going for. So 1:51:16.360 --> 1:51:18.280 I don't know if there's the need. 1:51:18.760 --> 1:51:24.040 And the penalty correct refresh my memory, the penalty for 1:51:24.160 --> 1:51:26.200 not hitting it in the landing area is to the 1:51:26.320 --> 1:51:29.240 forty right, yeah, So I don't know if that's worth 1:51:29.280 --> 1:51:29.679 the risk. 1:51:29.920 --> 1:51:33.320 Yeah, they changed the there's one loophole that they I 1:51:33.400 --> 1:51:36.439 think they shored up this offseason where like when the 1:51:36.560 --> 1:51:40.360 kickoff gets moved up, yeah because of a penalty, Like 1:51:40.600 --> 1:51:43.240 if you it's makes more sense to like kick it 1:51:43.320 --> 1:51:45.640 outside the landing zone, and they fix that, but like 1:51:46.040 --> 1:51:47.280 the kick. 1:51:47.200 --> 1:51:48.679 It out of bounds yeah yeah, yeah. 1:51:49.760 --> 1:51:55.360 I don't know if they really there's definitely been more returns, yep. 1:51:56.120 --> 1:51:59.600 I don't think there have been more longer returns. 1:51:59.280 --> 1:52:02.400 Right usually get to around the third right, and so I. 1:52:02.400 --> 1:52:05.160 Think that that's it's worked, and it hasn't. I guess 1:52:05.360 --> 1:52:06.919 I'm trying to say, who's. 1:52:06.720 --> 1:52:08.280 Going to be the Patriots kick returner this year? 1:52:08.600 --> 1:52:13.360 Thanks that their third running back and uh maybe like 1:52:14.160 --> 1:52:15.759 Kyle Williams or wherever they're. 1:52:15.640 --> 1:52:16.840 Like take it. 1:52:16.920 --> 1:52:19.240 We don't have a like a this is like Antonio 1:52:19.320 --> 1:52:23.080 Gibson last year felt like he's going to become for Wednesday. 1:52:22.800 --> 1:52:25.720 The third running back has been what whoever that was? 1:52:25.840 --> 1:52:27.160 Deernest Johnson Terrell? 1:52:27.320 --> 1:52:30.800 I mean, is that something tells me late later they 1:52:30.840 --> 1:52:32.559 really they have to fill this kickoff returns? 1:52:32.680 --> 1:52:33.120 I guess, like. 1:52:34.880 --> 1:52:35.640 Are you okay with that? 1:52:35.920 --> 1:52:44.360 Regie Gilliam, big impact blocker on kickoff return Ray Davis Buffalo, Yeah, 1:52:44.800 --> 1:52:48.600 all pro for the last year last year, you know, 1:52:48.760 --> 1:52:51.320 because Regie g William really good lead blocker. I think 1:52:51.840 --> 1:52:53.760 to the caller's point about the kicker, the thing I'm 1:52:53.800 --> 1:52:56.360 more interested in is like are we ever going to 1:52:56.400 --> 1:52:59.599 get more creative with the returns themselves? Like how they're 1:52:59.680 --> 1:53:02.200 block and how you know you put two guys back 1:53:02.240 --> 1:53:04.680 there and maybe have you know, reverses and things like 1:53:04.800 --> 1:53:08.960 that everybody's played it like super safe so far, Like 1:53:09.080 --> 1:53:13.120 they really haven't done anything. They've done some stunting and 1:53:13.360 --> 1:53:16.640 like looping with blockers, but nothing like too crazy like it. 1:53:17.240 --> 1:53:22.160 No. I mean it's definitely added returns, so it's done 1:53:22.200 --> 1:53:23.880 what they wanted it to take that part of it, 1:53:23.960 --> 1:53:25.519 I guess, but I don't. I don't really like it. 1:53:26.280 --> 1:53:28.360 I just feel like they still wed. 1:53:29.680 --> 1:53:31.640 I just feel like there's a lot more meat on 1:53:31.760 --> 1:53:35.080 that bone, and I think nobody, for whatever reason, teams 1:53:35.120 --> 1:53:37.439 are afraid to risk it like that. They feel like 1:53:37.479 --> 1:53:39.560 there might be a m i you know, lead to 1:53:39.640 --> 1:53:40.719 a turnover or something. 1:53:40.800 --> 1:53:45.200 I don't know Spring Lab this offseason, but there. 1:53:44.320 --> 1:53:46.920 Just seems to be like something there that, like especially 1:53:46.960 --> 1:53:48.400 if you need it, like late in the game and 1:53:48.520 --> 1:53:50.719 like you need like a big momentum play or something 1:53:50.840 --> 1:53:51.040 like that. 1:53:51.600 --> 1:53:52.760 Averse drop a name. 1:53:52.800 --> 1:53:55.720 I was having lunch with Ernie Adams and this was 1:53:56.560 --> 1:53:59.400 when they originally came up with the new rule, and 1:53:59.479 --> 1:54:01.640 I said to them, you know, I really think that 1:54:01.760 --> 1:54:05.280 this thing could lend itself to some really unique blocking schemes. 1:54:05.800 --> 1:54:07.920 And he was like he got like really excited for 1:54:07.960 --> 1:54:10.519 a second and he's like yeah, and then but he 1:54:10.600 --> 1:54:12.519 held back. You wouldn't tell me what he was thinking, 1:54:12.720 --> 1:54:15.479 because I think he's just so conditioned to not give 1:54:15.560 --> 1:54:19.800 out information. But his eyes lit up, like yeah, so, 1:54:19.920 --> 1:54:21.519 I bet you if he was still in the game, 1:54:22.360 --> 1:54:24.040 on the team that he was on, you might see 1:54:24.080 --> 1:54:24.559 some stuff. 1:54:24.680 --> 1:54:27.160 The Bills would do some things, and Gilliam was a 1:54:27.200 --> 1:54:29.680 big part of it. So maybe it's a weapon part 1:54:29.720 --> 1:54:29.800 of it. 1:54:30.080 --> 1:54:31.640 Because I was I mean, I was kind of saying, like, 1:54:31.800 --> 1:54:33.880 is it bad that they don't really? I mean, maybe 1:54:33.880 --> 1:54:35.600 they do have a plan, but from the outside looking in, 1:54:35.680 --> 1:54:37.520 it doesn't seem like it seems to a place where 1:54:37.560 --> 1:54:38.040 let's just have a. 1:54:38.040 --> 1:54:40.600 Guy in there. I think though, I mean, I think 1:54:40.680 --> 1:54:44.120 Henderson should be an option now maybe if they feel 1:54:44.160 --> 1:54:47.440 like he's too valuable to the offense, but I don't. 1:54:47.960 --> 1:54:50.080 Isn't it kind of just a running play? Yeah? 1:54:50.400 --> 1:54:52.360 Yeah, I mean, but I'm just like, if I'm jam Miller, 1:54:52.400 --> 1:54:54.840 I'm like, kid, you got a real opportunity here, Like, 1:54:54.960 --> 1:54:57.280 you got a real opportunity to, you know, be the guy, 1:54:57.480 --> 1:54:58.320 Like this is a role that. 1:54:58.400 --> 1:55:03.680 Is completely Anderson's like explosiveness. To me, is Taylor made 1:55:03.720 --> 1:55:05.560 for that? I Mean, Marcus Jones is every bit is 1:55:05.640 --> 1:55:08.680 valued more so. Yeah, really, and he's an electric weapon 1:55:08.720 --> 1:55:10.400 on party turns. I would hate to see them take 1:55:10.400 --> 1:55:11.000 that away from it. 1:55:11.080 --> 1:55:15.400 I think reverses and stuff like that, because unlike running play, 1:55:15.400 --> 1:55:17.480 where you have the line of scrimmage bunched in, these 1:55:17.520 --> 1:55:20.200 guys are spread out. So if if you can take 1:55:20.240 --> 1:55:22.720 advantage of that and get guys go in the wrong direction, 1:55:23.360 --> 1:55:25.400 you've got a little bit more time to get up 1:55:25.440 --> 1:55:26.120 to full speed. 1:55:26.720 --> 1:55:29.240 I don't know you're looking for creas but. 1:55:32.000 --> 1:55:34.440 Last year, right, I don't know if they would do 1:55:34.480 --> 1:55:37.120 it again, Like you know, Gibson and Terrell Jennings both 1:55:37.160 --> 1:55:41.360 got hurt returning kickoffs, yep, and so putting Henderson back there, Yeah, 1:55:41.960 --> 1:55:43.120 that's why they pulled back on that. 1:55:43.240 --> 1:55:44.200 I mean, I think. 1:55:46.680 --> 1:55:48.840 Matt is either in LA or Louisiana. 1:55:48.880 --> 1:55:50.200 I don't know. It says Matt from LA. 1:55:51.120 --> 1:55:53.720 I just wanted to know everyone on here always says 1:55:53.880 --> 1:55:57.200 Paul shows as someone who's not from Boston area and 1:55:57.280 --> 1:55:59.600 has only been listening for a few years, What are 1:55:59.680 --> 1:56:02.080 Paul show? Is there any show that will have Paul 1:56:02.160 --> 1:56:03.080 on and pay him money? 1:56:03.560 --> 1:56:05.480 Is really they even have to pay him? Show? 1:56:07.920 --> 1:56:11.240 The Morning Show? Any any radio show? Three of the 1:56:11.320 --> 1:56:14.840 shows on sports TV show that will that will have Paul. 1:56:15.000 --> 1:56:16.280 That's Paul's show. 1:56:19.200 --> 1:56:21.320 Doing very well. That show is doing very well. Yeah, 1:56:21.520 --> 1:56:22.080 you're welcome. 1:56:25.000 --> 1:56:25.400 I'll leave. 1:56:26.440 --> 1:56:29.800 Also, awesome first podcast, Fred, My brother and I loved 1:56:29.800 --> 1:56:32.120 it and wanted to know if it's coming to Spotify 1:56:32.200 --> 1:56:35.040 our Apple podcasts.

It's going to be uh, it's 1:57:25.520 --> 1:57:26.200 just about ticks. 1:57:26.240 --> 1:57:29.000 It's called TikTok TikTok I was just talking about we're 1:57:29.040 --> 1:57:30.320 talking about ticks. 1:57:30.080 --> 1:57:33.760 Probably you know trademark probably well you know what you. 1:57:33.760 --> 1:57:35.600 Know, like they have all the you know, they have 1:57:35.680 --> 1:57:38.760 all those videos like people popping pimples.

People, Okay, the rise, 1:57:52.760 --> 1:57:54.680 it's lines to refresh. Now. 1:57:54.880 --> 1:57:57.240 I think there's a there's some kind vaccine I think 1:57:57.240 --> 1:57:59.360 in the works though, which I think, yes, they're working 1:57:59.400 --> 1:58:00.920 on that, So we'll talk about that. 1:58:01.000 --> 1:58:04.600 On tick we took there's a big tick problem on 1:58:04.720 --> 1:58:07.720 Martha's vind overrun. 1:58:09.240 --> 1:58:11.360 So we were coming out of the I was taking 1:58:11.440 --> 1:58:13.160 them out at night when we got back from dinner 1:58:13.400 --> 1:58:16.200 and there was a skunk like and luckily I saw 1:58:16.240 --> 1:58:18.240 it before we like went all the way out on 1:58:18.280 --> 1:58:21.360 the lawn and uh, it was just sitting right in front. 1:58:21.400 --> 1:58:24.280 But that's the one thing about the vineyard, the bugs, 1:58:24.400 --> 1:58:27.000 the rodents like that, it's rampant. 1:58:27.040 --> 1:58:29.080 But the tics. Every time we took them on a walk, 1:58:29.120 --> 1:58:31.120 we had to check them for ticks when we got 1:58:31.560 --> 1:58:32.120 got back. 1:58:32.040 --> 1:58:35.120 In ticks, poison, ivy and mosquitos, let's go. 1:58:35.360 --> 1:58:40.800 Why do we need them skunks this summer on the island. 1:58:40.800 --> 1:58:43.240 I think we could do without it. The ecosystem would 1:58:43.240 --> 1:58:44.840 be fine if we eliminate those three. 1:58:44.960 --> 1:58:47.880 I don't think that's true, but I know it is. 1:58:48.880 --> 1:58:50.320 I know it is a little late in the show. 1:58:50.400 --> 1:58:52.680 But how does skunks get on the vineyard? 1:58:53.160 --> 1:58:53.360 Yeah? 1:58:54.080 --> 1:58:57.320 Hop on a ship maybe, yeah, garbage, garbage vessels, garbage 1:58:57.520 --> 1:58:57.960 things like that. 1:58:58.440 --> 1:59:01.160 We also saw it to see odins, But that's a skunk. 1:59:01.640 --> 1:59:03.720 Every morning we'd wake up and there'd be a family 1:59:03.760 --> 1:59:05.920 of turkeys out on the lawn. 1:59:06.520 --> 1:59:07.840 They obviously could fly there. 1:59:10.560 --> 1:59:11.760 Fly a little bit. They do fly. 1:59:12.000 --> 1:59:13.600 They do fly. It couldn't they couldn't fly. 1:59:13.760 --> 1:59:18.520 From the rare times that bears get on the cave, 1:59:19.240 --> 1:59:21.920 they don't swim across the canal. They usually they're on 1:59:22.040 --> 1:59:26.160 those garbage vessels and they get across. 1:59:26.200 --> 1:59:26.520 They tell you. 1:59:26.520 --> 1:59:27.920 When I was driving home on the Mass back, I 1:59:27.960 --> 1:59:31.800 saw a dead bear on the medium.
