00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: Patriot's Unfiltered. Paul's on nc double a vacation, God forbid.

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: He misses, you know, Dayton and Cincinnati whoever that hell's playing,

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. And we're keeping a few and Paul's

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: going crazy about that. Well. He was also in a

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: mood on Tuesday, was it? Yeah, because I made him.

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: I made him right. Thing with Paul, you never can

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: quite pin him down, like I said, he thought he

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: was gonna be bad, because that's what Bill does. See.

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't know all the specific moments of everything you

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: say about him. And then it's in the open next

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: week and then he's staring Dagger said, are you afraid

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: of Paul? Matt Morrel's cleverly edited opens Bill Belichick is

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: like the gift to Boston Sports Radio. The Patriots have

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: signed running back Time Montgomery. Oh, I know him, like

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: you said, wins up. You don't know who's the right

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: tackles we're hearing. That's that's Fred using the tide pen

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: and not just Paul's. It's wrong because my feelings is

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: still hurt that bled Cell was replaced. I put that

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: one in the open him Araule. This is Patriot's Unfiltered,

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: fueled by Duncan. All right, welcome the Patriots Unfiltered. It

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: is Tuesday here at Let's Stadium. It's Eric, it's Paul,

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: it's me, It's Matt. Deuce is on assignment at holy Cross. No,

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he is. No. I think he's afraid

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: of Paul. Oh you think he quit the show. Well,

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: I think he's hiding. Yeah, hiding. Don't worry every Poe.

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: All right, I'm back. But Deuces that holy Cross is

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: following the scouting. We're doing a piece on scouting and um,

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: so he's following Jerry. Yeah, they have around quarterback pro

31
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: day going on over there, so he's with the scouting.

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: BC not have theirs yet, I don't believe so, now, don't.

33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was odd that they usually they usually

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: go to BC. They usually go to the bigger Division

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: one school in the area, So I thought that was

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: a little odd that they're having one at holy Cross. Yeah,

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: because BC has a number of prospects. It's not like

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: they don't have any. They'll have theirs I'm sure, right.

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: I just think usually the regional one is held at Ye.

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: What I usually do is they take the biggest Division

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: one school in the area and then the smaller schools

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: around that might have a guy that so generally a

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: guy from Holy Cross will go to BC's right, right,

44
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, kind of how they do it around

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: the country. I was just thinking, you you get a

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: handful of guys, you know, like a Merrimack might have

47
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: some of Bentley. I think there was a guy from Bentley,

48
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: a couple of what's the guy's name, the offensive lineman anyway,

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: like Bentley's not going to have the entire NFL send

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: upon Bentley, um say, anyway, that's what Deuce is today.

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: And the brown quarterback M. E. J. Perry from andover

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: mass Uh is going to be throwing there today as well.

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: And he had a really good workout at the combine. Okay,

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a lot of measurables, as they say.

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: But we got a lot. We got some Patriots news

56
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: we got to talk about that's happened since our last

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: show on Thursday. We've got a lot of NFL news. Well,

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: you talk about there were a couple of signings. Yeah,

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: but I mean, I mean mostly there's been stuff going

60
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: on around the league. I know we're gonna get I

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot. I mean it's crazy. You know,

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: it is crazy. We said never seen anything like Yeah,

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: we said when you know when the season ended, Boy,

64
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of big name movements. By

65
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: the way, I sometimes done when it happens, though, right,

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: I just wrote exact exact phrase that you just used.

67
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Even though we all started coming, it's still stunning, right,

68
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: because a lot of times you say it and it

69
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: doesn't really live up to it, but this year it did.

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I wrote, you know there could be high

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: profile movement in quarterbacks with Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady,

72
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, Deshaun Watson and sure enough, right, there was

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: just major news which one of them changing teams. I

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: want to offer an apology. Well, do you have an apology? Yeah,

75
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: because this this should take I know what the apology is. Yeah,

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: we know what your apologies. Go ahead, and I will

77
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: only speak for myself, but I know there were others

78
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: on the show who expressed similar opinion that there was

79
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: no way in hell on God's greener at that Davante

80
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: Adams was going anywhere, because that's why Aaron Rodgers resigned

81
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: in Green Baylim I count that as a stunning trade.

82
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: I agree with Eric. I did not see any way

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: that he was going to get traded. I was. I

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: don't think as adamant about the trade itself any trade

85
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: as Eric was. But yeah, I I echo eric sentiments,

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: completely stunning trade. I was talking in terms of the Patriots.

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of people that just

88
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: should make a run at and I said, they're not going.

89
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: He wasn't out here. But but Eric's right in full disclosure.

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was going anywhere, right, I didn't

91
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: think he was going anywhere. But I mean, good for

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: Josh though, forgetting not just him, but like he's got

93
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: he got Chandler Jones another signing. I mean, he's made

94
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: some moves over there to try to keep pace because

95
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: you have to. It's and that's the most exciting division

96
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: in football right now. And Smith Schuster signs with Kansas City.

97
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Like every day you turn around, it's like another one

98
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: that's piling on top of the other one. It's like,

99
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: could they have the entire like division being in the playoffs.

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: Now that now that you got the seven team, like also,

101
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: all four of them could be in the playoffs. Well,

102
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, they're gonna have to beat each other, right,

103
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: Like let's say, let's saying each other up for instance,

104
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: they all they all go three and three in the division,

105
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: right because it's that and then and then they have

106
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: winning records in their non non division games, like they

107
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: could all be and it's possible. I mean, you could

108
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: even go crazy. There's no reason why you can't go

109
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: two and four in the division and get to ten wins. Yeah, yeah, sure,

110
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: that good. You know, it's not out of the realm

111
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: of possibility. But yeah, I mean it's a good division.

112
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: I think you know, the Colts getting Matt Ryan, I

113
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty good team. I think Matt Ryan

114
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: is a little bit long in the tooth, but I

115
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: think it's an upgrade over Carson. Yeah. Yeah, So I

116
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: think that puts them, you know, right in that race

117
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: with Tennessee UM. And then you look at what the

118
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: North is with Deshaun Watson joining you know, Joe Burrow.

119
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not completely ready to dismiss Pittsburgh either, even

120
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: though it's Mitch Drubisky. I'm going to tell you another

121
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: thing that's an upgrade over what they had a quarterback

122
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: last because Ben was because Ben's done shadow of himself,

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, great career. No no rocket shots intended at

124
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, but the last two years he's been done right.

125
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: And Mitch Drubisky, as flawed as he is, is better

126
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: than last year's version of Big Ben. Yeah, so that

127
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: division is going to be a nightmare too. Lamar Jackson

128
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore done about. It'll be healthy. So the Cleveland thing,

129
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: that all adds up to an incredible arms race in

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: the AFC. Yeah, the Cleveland thing with the contract, you

131
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: know what's reported with Watson. Yeah, they they've done it

132
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: so that in this first year it's only like a

133
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: million dollars, so if he does yeah, so if he

134
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: does get suspended, he doesn't really lose out in any money.

135
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: And then the rest of it is like fully guaranteed.

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Who contract is fully guaranteed, which is an unheard of

137
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: for a contract of that size. Was it five years

138
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: to thirty yeah, something like that? Forty six million a year? Yeah,

139
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what are they doing? Is that a I

140
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: guess that's what you mean that's what they had to do.

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: I just I just can't imagine like in also, and

142
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to go on my I'm

143
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: not on the high horse. Like I read Peter King

144
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: yesterday and it made me nauseous. It's Peter King um,

145
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, how someone could be that

146
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: offended um by anything, by anything in life that doesn't

147
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: really have anything to do with them, but regards I

148
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: do find it stunning that not that they would give

149
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: a guy a second chance, but that they would be

150
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: that invested in that desperate to give a guy a

151
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: second chance. It's almost like, did you not realize there

152
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: are twenty two women out there that yeah, you're you're

153
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: potentially uh you know, disrespecting and really disrespecting a large

154
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: portion off you're own fan base. Like it's one thing

155
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: to say, hey, you know, everybody makes mistakes. We're going

156
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: to give this guy a second shot. But this isn't

157
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: given a guy a second shot. This is putting, like

158
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: you said, Fred desperation, everything into one basket. If this

159
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: doesn't work, oh yeah, this could be you're setting you

160
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: a franchise back, Like, yeah, it's not because of the money.

161
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: It's because of the damage you're gonna do it. It's

162
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: like Washington, it's Daniel Snyder, like it's the disrespect to women.

163
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: You're so if this doesn't work, like listen, if Deshaun

164
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: Watson turns out to be one of those guys who

165
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: did who made some mistakes, but isn't that person, you know,

166
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: and he ends up playing well and Cleveland has success,

167
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: they'll be Okay. If this doesn't work and he ends up,

168
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, three months from now, it's it's way worse

169
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: than anybody even thinks. Now, Cleveland's gonna be Washington. They could,

170
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the you know, they could be moving again.

171
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean it could. They could be the organization that

172
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: condones the you know, the do you think the disrespect

173
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: we think they have sharps and do you think they

174
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: know something? Well, the thing was the thing I was

175
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: wondering was are they are they betting on last year

176
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: being a de facto suspension for Watson? Oh no, he's

177
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: going to get suspended, but they're betting on the fact

178
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: that not for the He's not. No, he's gonna probably

179
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: get like some months, he'll get six games. Well, why

180
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: at this point, what would be the basis of the suspension. Well,

181
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: if these are two but right now, he said, she

182
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: said right. And Ben Roethlisberger he said, he said, they

183
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: said yeah, they said and Roethlisberger and Ezekiel Elliott both

184
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: got suspended for the same thing. But we get criminal

185
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: I thought, Roethlisberger, there was like evidence, there were no

186
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: criminal charges. There were there were witnesses other than the

187
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: woman with with No, there weren't criminal charges. But there

188
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: were witnesses other than the woman saying it. Yeah, women

189
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: said it it was he said, she said the same

190
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: thing as this. Yeah, but they each woman wasn't a

191
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: witness to the other. You know what I'm saying. There

192
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: weren't witnesses for each thing. I mean, I'm not a lawyer, obviously,

193
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: so I'm not even gonna dress myself by trying. But

194
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: my point is, you can get suspended without criminal charges,

195
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: and no, I know he will get suspended. My guess

196
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: is Cleveland thinks they vetted this enough to the point

197
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: where they think that they know the worst and there's

198
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: nothing that's going to happen that's gonna be worse than this, right,

199
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: And I think they're probably fully prepared. Fred your point

200
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: about the money paragraph five salary. Yeah, that's what he'll

201
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: get subjected to lose with a suspension. They know that's

202
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: coming in the first year. Yeah, but if it turns

203
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: out that it's worse than people think, and these these

204
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: civil cases end up bringing that out, then that's when

205
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: Cleveland's gonna look evey. But you would imagine know that

206
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: if if it's probably won't be because if if there

207
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: was other evidence that they're going to use in the

208
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: civil cases, wouldn't it have come out during this grand

209
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: jury thing? And you know, so they chose not to

210
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: indict because there wasn't anything to base criminal charges on.

211
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: So there isn't the evidence to do that. I don't know.

212
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: I guess is that's probably the way it's going to

213
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: run fold Yeah, but with what trials you never know,

214
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: like lawyers bring out surprise witnesses or thinking the criminal

215
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: part they would have done that. I don't know anyway,

216
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: But it's harder, But it's it's harder to prove it

217
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: from all. Oh, it is it is. So that's what

218
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If you have evidence, that's the time to

219
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: bring it out, isn't it. You know, I don't guess

220
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, just the whole AFC is getting ultra competitive. Yeah,

221
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: it's And then so then where does Baker may feel go?

222
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: Where does Jimmy Garoppolo go? I don't know this. There's

223
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: a couple quarterbacks out there, like Jimmy probably would have

224
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: been gone by now if he didn't have you know,

225
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: and he's not like, at best, he's going to be

226
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: throwing by the time training camp start. He's got to

227
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: get somewhere and learn an offense and he can't throw.

228
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so does he stick around for another year?

229
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they're going to do that again? Yeah,

230
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Although I would. I would because I think

231
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: that that's a team that can absolutely especially in the NFC.

232
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: Now with all the talent that's left the NFC, that's

233
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: wide open. Brady's like, all right, let's go. The only

234
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: competition is Aaron Rodgers. It's the Rams of the Bucks.

235
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: Yeah right right, I mean, I mean I know that

236
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks were you know, that's why Brady retired because

237
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: he knew the Bucks were going to stink. Yeah, but

238
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: the Bucks are the I think the favorite in the

239
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: NFC because you got a figure it's tired to repeat, Yeah, yeah,

240
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: I would say the Bucks are the favorite. Yeah, although

241
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: the Rams made a big move too, getting Alan Robinson. Yeah,

242
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: trading away your guy Bobby Trees going to Tennessee. They

243
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: didn't get much for him, didn't He's got a twenty yeah, yeah,

244
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: but what they get a fifth round pick for him

245
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: something like that. I think it may have been a sixth. Oh, Okay,

246
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: it might have been a fifth. I don't know. You

247
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: could be right. Yeah, all right, but um, getting back

248
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: to the Patriots, you guys don't care that they signed

249
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Trent Brown. It's fine, yeah, but I mean compared to

250
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: all the other stuff we just talked about it, Pales,

251
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: I would rather have the other two offensive lineman that

252
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: they let go than him, because the other two offensive

253
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: lineman will play. I know you're you're dead set on

254
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: that he's not gonna play a whole season because he

255
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: has because he won't. He missed twenty four the last

256
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: fifty games. He might, you know, he could he you know,

257
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: just he has had an injury history. I mean it

258
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: does help in that you you at least have that's

259
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: one less player on the old line you have to

260
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: worry about in terms of Yeah, it's better to have

261
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: him back than not. Right. So, like last week we

262
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: were all talking as if they lost three starting offensive lineman.

263
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: Now they've only lost two. But but and if I

264
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: wasn't here Thursday, but I didn't think he was going

265
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: anywhere because I don't think anybody wanted him. Yeah, well

266
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: I think I think. I think on Thursday he had

267
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: a visit with Seattle, which is why we were talking about,

268
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: like he's probably gonna be gone. And did you see

269
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: how that like played out on Twitter? No, it was

270
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: like he's going to visit Seattle, you know, on Tuesday,

271
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: He's going to visit Seattle. On Thursday. On Wednesday, he's

272
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: going to visit Seattle tomorrow. On Thursday, he visited Seattle. Today.

273
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: On Friday, he stayed overnight in Seattle. I was like,

274
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks don't want any part of this guy that agents

275
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: working overtime. To try to say, Patriots, he wants to

276
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: stay with you, righto. And then even then they still

277
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: didn't want him. The Patriots still didn't want him back.

278
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: They wanted Lyle Collins. Yeah, and then went to Cincinnati

279
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of people say the Patriots offer was comparable,

280
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: if not better. Yeah, for me, they wanted Collins based

281
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: on reports. We don't know, but they wanted Collins, and

282
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: then I think they looked at it and said, all right,

283
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: we got to take him back. But it's not even

284
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: just like he gets hurt a lot. I think he

285
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: gets hurt and is out a long time. Yeah, when

286
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: people wonder. I think the Patriots were very impatient with

287
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: him last year with the calf problem and didn't realize

288
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: didn't feel like he maybe needed to miss seventy eight

289
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: games or whatever it ended up being. Yep, that's what

290
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: worries me. And they need him. They need him to

291
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: be um, you know, the good player he is when

292
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: he plays, They need him to be out there all

293
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah. I think when he's healthy he's one

294
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: of the best tackles and right tackles in football. I

295
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: really do. I mean, we'll never know. I mean he's

296
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: never been healthy, so I don't know. He had twenty

297
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: eighteen was yeah, and then I mean helped him win

298
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl that year, got to give credit where

299
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: credits due, and drove Dante crazy for half the season.

300
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: This is my like, I know, he just when when

301
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: you win, it's the elixir and everybody just watches away

302
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: all the stuff that was frustrating. But he got him

303
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: on He got him on the right track. They won

304
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, so all was forgiven, but and he helped.

305
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: He's not a reliable player. I didn't say all was forgiven.

306
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying give him. No, I mean him with it,

307
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: like I don't mean you. I mean in general. Yeah,

308
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: we sort of overlook the things that were problems. All right.

309
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: So they they signed Trent Brown and you know, we

310
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: knew last Thursday they signed Time Montgomery. I think that

311
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: happened during during the show, you know, uh they officially resigned.

312
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: Um uh Jowan Bentley Joan Bentley's back. Um, is that

313
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: what you guys were making fun of me about when

314
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: I said that Bill will bring him back. You know

315
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: he's going to bring him back. I don't think so. No,

316
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot we were making fun of you.

317
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: I know, I believe me. I was. I think it

318
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: was Boles. Yeah, all the guys I said that would

319
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: be back. The Bolden is the only one that wasn't.

320
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: All the rest of them are here and by the way,

321
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: high towers still lingering. Yeah, I don't know. I don't

322
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: think he'll be back. But he's still out there. Um,

323
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: what was I gonna say? Uh? Oh, I forgot it

324
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: couldn't have been that important. Then it's I mean, it's

325
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: a disappointing off season. I don't know how you can

326
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: put it any other way, I think, but I just

327
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: I was expecting them to let some veterans go so

328
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: they could sign some younger players. Instead, they signed all

329
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: the veterans, and now they've succeed I gotta give them credit.

330
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: They've successfully convinced everyone they don't have the money to

331
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: do anything. They had plenty, but they spent it on

332
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: guys that were thirty five years It's not over yet. Wow,

333
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: But the talent Zaq was. I mean, there are still

334
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: some guys, but older guys like I, Like, I thought

335
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: there was a chance they could get some younger talent.

336
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: You know, I would have taken Smith Schuster, I would

337
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: have taken Djhark, I would have taken one of those

338
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: receivers who I could bet on the future. Sure, but like,

339
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't it's not going to break the bank. I

340
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: think Judrew Smith Schuster cut like three million dollars. The

341
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: rest is all incentives, right, But I think like we've

342
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: kind of I think We kind of talked about this

343
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: a couple of shows ago, like, if you're Smith Schuster,

344
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, where would you rather go? No, Kansas City

345
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: or Foxburg, no question. But I'm just saying, at this point,

346
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: did they even look into it? Yeah? I don't know

347
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: they had, right, I absolutely agree with you. They had

348
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: some guys in workouts. Yeah, Leonard Fournette, Malcolm Butler, um Ryans,

349
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: someone else, Ryan Bates, Yeah, the guard from Joshua Dobbs

350
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: arm that's not like high in the priority list. But

351
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about quarterback later

352
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: in the show. Um, Leonard Fournette already, I believe we

353
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: signed with Tampa this morning, So that was that was

354
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: probably a dog and pony show by his agent. Yeah,

355
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think he signed a three year deal

356
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: with the Bucks. Well somebody said, oh, London Fournette, does

357
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: that mean Damian Harris might be you know, I think

358
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: that was Phil Perry. Well, if they had signed him, yeah,

359
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: I would have said, yes, that's what that's what it means,

360
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: and you would have been upset again like Sony Michelle,

361
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: Um but the the um. Ryan Bates is a I

362
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: think would be a good candidate to come in and

363
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: give you some depth at guard. I think he could

364
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: start at guard in the in the Shack Mason spot. Um,

365
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: he played a few games for Buffalo last year. I

366
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: forget the guy's name. There was a guy that got

367
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: hurt here the day after Christmas game, but yeah, yeah,

368
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: um oh, I know who you mean. I forget his name,

369
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: but he tore his achilles in the game the day

370
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: after Christmas. And this kid, I think his name is

371
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates. Am I getting that right? Um? He's a

372
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: backup guard for but he played the last handful of

373
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: games for the Bills evidently did reasonably well. He's a

374
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: restricted free agent but got the lowest tender, and he's

375
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: he's drawn some interest. I think he would make some

376
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: sense as one of those interior guys for the Patriots.

377
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: So I would like that signing a young guy that

378
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: you could plug in and hopefully get something out. Where

379
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: is it when you're gonna play? Is he gonna be

380
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: just quite super sub again? Or is he? I don't

381
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: think think he's gonna have to think he's gonna start

382
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: like that. Don't have any start right, Okay, I'm just

383
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: when I'm I'm sorry, he's got to start somewhere I know.

384
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering, Like, so he's gonna be a

385
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: guard unless they switched Whin to guard and make him

386
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: an all pro like you've always dreamed. That's his floor. Yeah, right,

387
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule that out. We've since learned that that's

388
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: not his floor. His floor is what we've seen for

389
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: the last three years. But no, I would not rule

390
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: that out. I wouldn't if they think that's the best

391
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: five right, So I'm not telling you he will play guard.

392
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: But when they can have to move, I mean, Trent

393
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: Brown ain't playing guard, no, right, No, so Whin would

394
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: have to move if O when you was gonna start

395
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: at But if they moved when let's just say they

396
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: moved when to guard, would you put Brown back at

397
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: left tackle like he did in twenty eighteen and then

398
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: have on when you go to the right tackle. I

399
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: might look at that. Yeah, Yeah, I don't know. I

400
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: don't know how they feel about Trent Brown left to right.

401
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what they felt better or about. Yeah,

402
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: and he had you have a whole at least you

403
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 1: have a whole season's worth of tape to look at

404
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: from how he did that year and you don't from

405
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: this past year at right tackle, he missed what was

406
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: the sixth almost half the year right So I don't know,

407
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: just something to consider. You know, he's played on both sides,

408
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: so so the offensive line is still an area that

409
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: makes addressing, and I think that that's still a high

410
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: priority in the draft. Yeah, Like I haven't changed my

411
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Because they signed Trent Brown, they could

412
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: go and see any of the financials on that. By no,

413
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm not either interesting. It's probably incentives, probably incentive laden

414
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: because of all the games that he's missed, probably has

415
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: some you know, game day bonuses and that kind of stuff.

416
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: I know this only so much that you get put

417
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: into not likely to be earned. But I don't really

418
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: care for I'm just concerned about how much money he's

419
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: he's making. I don't care about I might have. Didn't

420
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: I see something like thirteen or fourteen million two years

421
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: for fourteen millions, you know, for whom that'd be pretty cheap. Trent, No,

422
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: like each year, oh fourteen million a years year, something

423
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: I didn't see. I wouldn't be cheap. I haven't seen

424
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: any numbers on him though. That's what win's making to

425
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: play left. Yeah, I don't know. I thought thirteen fourteen.

426
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any finny, yeah, just that it was

427
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: two years. Yeah, I agree with Eric, that's all I've seen,

428
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: But yet I don't. I don't scour the web for

429
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: the contracts because they're not that important to me really,

430
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: all right, um yeah, so seriously, like we don't pay

431
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: it like Robert wants. No, I know, I wish we

432
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: didn't have to talk about money and contracts, you know,

433
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: I really do, Like it gives me a popsicle headache.

434
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: All that stuff I could care less. Well, Plus the

435
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: stuff that gets reported is really so deceiving, right, almost

436
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: every time, you never know, they're very few shn Watson's yea,

437
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: the first sport is rarely accurate. You know it's accurate,

438
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: it just doesn't tell the whole story. Yeah, right, like

439
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster. I think it was one year, like

440
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: ten and a half million, and then you find out

441
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: like a day later that you know, like six and

442
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: a half to seven million is in incentives, right, and

443
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: then you got to look and see what are they incentives?

444
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: Are they at all you know attainable? Right? Like remember

445
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: the year that they gave Brady the bump, but it

446
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: was like he needed to be MVP and like top

447
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: five and like you know, every like whatever, and there's

448
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: no way he was going to do all that. Ye. Yeah,

449
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: we got made fun of on Thursday, Paul, because I

450
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: was Tuesday. We never even mentioned Brady deciding to come

451
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: back to Tampa. Yeah. I saw people asking during the show.

452
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: I was looking at with fifteen minutes in, there's no

453
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: mention of Brady. What is there to say. We've been

454
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: telling you all along that we think he's coming back.

455
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: He came back. Was anybody really surprised by the fact

456
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: that he came back. I was a little I was

457
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: a little less than forty eight hours after we had

458
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: initially retired. He already talked about never saying no, no,

459
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: I know, but I wasn't surprised that he came back.

460
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: I was surprised he came back to Tampa Bay a

461
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: little bit without a fight. Like I thought he was

462
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: using this whole retirement as leverage, right. I mean, Arian's

463
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: pretty much came out and say, yeah, he can come

464
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: back to me once. But he was always opened the

465
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: lights on. Yeah, so that that part of it. I

466
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: was a little surprised at that and when they were

467
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: so adamant both he and Light at the combine about

468
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: no not don't have any plans. When he showed up

469
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: at the Manchester United game, you know, before you knew

470
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: something was up. Yeah you know, right, Yeah, you knew

471
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: something was up. See now that part that would I

472
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: would have found that interesting right over my head. No idea,

473
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: what you're talking about? You don't know. He like, like

474
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he just shows up at a

475
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Manchester United game and he meets with Ronaldo. Is that

476
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: the guy's chann Yeah on the field, and you know

477
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: obviously everyone knows that Glazer team. It's like that. That's

478
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: kind of weird. You just retired from the team and

479
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: then you show up there. You know that was a

480
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: rendezvous he was trying to get him on the TV

481
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: twelve method. Yeah. You're in your late thirties, you're gonna

482
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: need this. Yeah all right, Well, um, I think we've

483
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: laid out some things to talk about. Sure certainly. Um. Yeah,

484
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots need to do more, there's no doubt, you know.

485
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: So what can they do at this point that's gonna

486
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: make alter the landscape? You gotta work other than the draft.

487
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean you have the draft. Ye yeah, and you

488
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: to bank on that this defense is going to have

489
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: to be better than it was last year for this

490
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: team to be able to compete. Yeah, and I think

491
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have players who haven't played much

492
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: step up into roles and play not only play more,

493
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: but play well. Yeah. Yeah, And we don't know which

494
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: way that that's gonna go because we have we've hardly

495
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: seen some of these guys. Ye Perkins. Ohay, these guys

496
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: gonna be regulars in a rotation along with Judean and uh,

497
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have to worry about Nikovic anymore

498
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: being part of that. So, like, what does that mean

499

Speaker 1: for the younger guys? Yeah? All right? Eight five Ticket

Speaker 1: I have a who am I game? Okay? All right, um,

505
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: but real quick, I wanted to give a comment on

506
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Wasson thing. Um you know the attorney for him, Uh,

507
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Tony Buzzby, I don't I don't know him. That's that's

508
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: one of them, right. Isn't Rusty Harden involved in that too?

509
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: He's on the other side, pardons on Deshaun side. Isn't

510
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: that what you just say? Oh, I'm sorry, I think

511
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: when when hosts aren't listening, I thought you said Deshaun

512
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Watson's That's that's why I said, isn't it Rusty Hart

513
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry the guy going after him? Okay, twenty women

514
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: and just real quick to ever and be careful. I

515
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, I twenty women complaining they got assaulted. I

516
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: think they're very seriously. Just the one thing is I

517
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: was in the Marine Corps with Tony as a lieutenant,

518
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: a compacent marine and not the most honest person and

519
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: the most like self serving guy I knew from that time.

520
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: If you look at his web page, he describes himself

521
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: as like a war hero in the Marine Corps, like

522
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't bad and he's good. He's actually a really

523
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: good marine. But like it's fundamentally dishonest. If anyone was

524
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: like bsking on this, it'll be Tony Buzzby. So just

525
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: a little nugget there, Okay, a little background. I was

526
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: we've got connections everywhere. Did you outrank him, Bill, No,

527
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: we were. We were to actually to keep the s together,

528
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: so exact same rank, same day to rank um and

529
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: and again like Aton, guy went reconnaissance. But like you know,

530
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: people who are always like they never lie out right,

531
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: but they're always shading things in ways that served their

532
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: own end like that. Yeah, yeah, okay, So who am

533
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: I like? Number one? I was drafted by the Patriots

534
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: in the fourteenth round of the nineteen seventy three drafts

535
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: fourteen fourteen seventy three. Oh my god. Okay, goodna need more? Okay.

536
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: I've coached New England, the Jets, the Jags, the Browns,

537
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons and the Raiders. I've coached Art Shell. I

538
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: don't know, no, no coach. I assume you mean as

539
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: an Asia obvious. Yeah it wasn't head coach. Yeah yeah,

540
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: assistant coach. How about this a line coach? It depends

541
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: a line coach. Ray Hamilton, you got it my first

542
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: nice wow, good job, Palli, Ray Hamilton. I didn't. I

543
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: didn't rest he was drafted in the fourteenth round. I

544
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: needed a little bit of prodding there, though. I know

545
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: that can't take a lot of can't take too many

546
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: bowles on that one. The defensive line blue would have been.

547
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: I swear to god, I never touched Kenny s Tabler,

548
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: all right. Second one, I was drafted by the San

549
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: Diego Superchargers in the second round of the nineteen draft. Wow,

550
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: second round sixty eight. Okay, I played the Patriots, including

551
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: a record setting O line. Bill Lenchitis, you are on fire. Yeah.

552
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking it's either Morris Lnchitis or Pete Brock.

553
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: And it's not Pete Brock because he was drafted by

554
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I didn't know that Lynchitis wasn't drafted by

555
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I didn't know that. Yeah, right here. Last one,

556
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: I was a first round pick out of Texas by

557
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: the Patriot. It's in nineteen seventy seven, Ray Clayborne, yours,

558
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: Paul three for three. I didn't even need an extra

559
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: hint there. First. Here we go, first round pick in

560
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: the seventies. Now that's my wheelhouse. Ye See. It's good

561
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: when you have the host live and not an email

562
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: because Eric can't check the email. Good point, Yeah, good job, Bill,

563
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for all. He hung up. He might tell Billy said,

564
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: and he was a Marine. That's what I was confused

565
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: for a while the officer, we're not on the same

566
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: level department of the Navy, the mena's department. MALOI grunt. Sorry,

567
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: that's good. I'm sure that's an old Ben's in Pittsfield.

568
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: Hey Ben, Hey, guys, what's up? Hey? Hey, just a

569
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: couple of things about the draft. But there's one thing,

570
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: and I feel like guy hasn't been talked about it enough.

571
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: I wonder your guys thoughts on it. But why isn't

572
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: there like more of a It seems like they didn't

573
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: see more of an effort. And I know there can't

574
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: really be one for the actual draft, but like, in

575
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: my eyes, the Patriots need to get John Metchi like

576
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: that is just a no brainer. And you know, I

577
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: don't know, I've seen in a couple of months draft

578
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: like Hufalda three and stuff, But like, if he is there,

579
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: isn't it like a no brainer to get him? Like

580
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: I'm hearing other things from people, but you mean at

581
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: twenty one, if I'm there, I can see the ACL

582
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's looking good, so you're you can you

583
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: want him to be a red shirt year this year? Basically, well,

584
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: wasn't he gonna be ready for training camp. They said

585
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: he might start running at training I can't. Well, I

586
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: know these I don't ever want to dismiss someone's chances

587
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: because I know, you know medicine these days that I mean,

588
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous how fast they come back. But I'd be

589
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: skeptical that and you'd be ready that fast. And and

590
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: do you got to remember acls, No matter how quickly

591
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: you come back from them, the first year back, you're

592
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: not the same player that you were before the injury.

593
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: It usually takes a full season for you to get

594
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: back to where you were. So even if he does,

595
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: you know, somehow get to play in the fall, he's

596
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: not going to be the guy who saw at Alabama

597
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: until probably next year. So let's just say, you know,

598
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: for argument's sake, that the Patris check out with the

599
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: doctors that did his work, and he's gonna be good.

600
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: He's he's he would yeah, it was good. You take

601
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: him at twenty one. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. No, I

602
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't take him at twenty one if he didn't have

603
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: a twenty al Really, I think I think second round pick.

604
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: If he's there, Yeah, okay, that's okay, that's where I

605
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: would take absolutely, Yeah, I just I cannot. I know

606
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: the ACL is kind of a tough stub dick with it.

607
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: But other than that, like I mean, if he's in

608
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: second round, I don't think my whole thing with Jameson

609
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: William is I'm not a fan of you know, I

610
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't want red first round. Like if we're picking someone

611
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: first round, like we got to play him next year,

612
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: like that's a no brainer. But like second round pick,

613
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: especially because I've been hearing not not time creep, but

614
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: a couple of things about how they might trade for

615
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: another second round pick, um, depending on whether or not

616
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: they're bringing Leonard Fournette in or not. Um, he just

617
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: signed with Tampa Bay. I thought we heard, yeah, Fournette

618
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: is back with Tampa Bay. Well, I'm not up to date.

619
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: My dad's Okay, happen this morning. Happened this morning? Yeah,

620
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: Oh well that's unfortunately. Well yeah, but I just wonder

621
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: you have thoughts on that. I really am a fan

622
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: of MATCHI Yeah, I think he's I think he's a

623
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: good player too. I do want to see, you know,

624
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: how the Tony ACL affects him, because I know he's

625
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: one of those quickness route running like that's the kind

626
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: of thing that can be affected. Look even Edelman. Edelman

627
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: got hurt in the preseason, and then the next year

628
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: he came back, he wasn't quite as good as he

629
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: was the year after that. Exactly. It's it's usually a

630
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: year removed from It's just like Tommy John surgery in

631
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Once you come back, it's the next

632
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: year that you really just settle in. Yep. But I

633
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: like Matchie. I agree with bad. Thank you appreciate the call. Uh,

634
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: let's go up to California. Cory's on the line. What's up, Cory? Uh?

635
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: Quarry my bad quarry? Okay, Sorry, Yes, I just had

636
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: to feel in, Um, when are we gonna get Mac

637
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: Jones a weapon? Uh? Do you guys believe like Kendrick

638
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: Barne is like the number one? I was like, what

639
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: are we doing at? Wow? Were by defaultiest? But he

640
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't be You're you know, he's not a first receiver.

641
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: They need to improve their wide receiver situation. I agree.

642
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm just confused on where we're going with it. You

643
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You have a bunch of like

644
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: free agents. I know, kill Harry was a bust I

645
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what, Well, we made the decision

646
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: to not have a fullback based offense. So that's good

647
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: for the passing game, right, No more fullback on the Patriots,

648
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: that's true. Um, but I just I would like to

649
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: see some more you know, explosive this. I thought we've

650
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: had a few receivers. Oh what happy still there didn't

651
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: pay I guess it's just you know, mid sentence, right, Yeah, Okay,

652
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: So then we'll go back across the country to the

653
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: East coast and we'll talk to Rashad in Baltimore. What's up, Rashad? Hey,

654
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: what's up? What's up? Um? Well, let me see, I

655
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: lost my training thought I was. I was listening to

656
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: the call, but my main thing was, um, like praying

657
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: your stories last week, like about like the Lord, the

658
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: Lloyd Malloy and the Tom Jackson. Yeah, if you had

659
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: like a little bit more of those stories. Because like,

660
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: of course, like back then when you have social media,

661
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: so I wasn't really in tune with like the little

662
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: stories like that back then. But like when you said

663
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: to Tom Jackson thing, I went back and looked at it,

664
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: and that was crazy. I didn't know nothing about that. Okay,

665
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: So like I mean, like you know, you can wait,

666
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: like you know, to the end of the show, but

667
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: if you had like any more stories, well it's gonna

668
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: be organic. I mean, the subject has to come up

669
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: and then a story you get reminded of a story. Yeah, yeah,

670
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: we've got millions of them. Yeah I it was that. Yeah,

671
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: that was that was cool. Okay, Yeah, that's what you

672
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: get with this show. You get the present, but you

673
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: get the past too, and you talk about the future

674
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: to pass because yeah, a lot of Patriots history start

675
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: trust the stuff. I don't know. Yeah, okay, we'll do

676
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: I will that. Yeah. No, I don't really got enough

677
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: about the current Patriots because I don't really I don't

678
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: really know the plan, so I don't really Yeah, I

679
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: don't really know what they don't. You don't either, And

680
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, like what they off season, you just

681
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: gotta just let it go, like just like you know,

682
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna wait, They're gonna wait, like you know, it

683
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: might not be enough to splash you. I'm not even

684
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: expecting enough, and I'm just waiting for training campus. You

685
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: got a team, but I know, I know you got

686
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: you got a draft to look as we do. We

687
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: do and they did. I mean, they got some good returns,

688
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: early returns on their draft last year. So if they

689
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: can build on that, because you know, we've said it

690
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: many times on the show, good teams build through the draft,

691
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: not through free agency. Free agency helps to augment what

692
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: you already have, but you you have to build a

693
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: foundation through the draft. So they need to get a

694
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: few more of these in a row under their belt,

695
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: right to to have something around mac Jones that's gonna

696
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: last for more than one or two seasons, you know,

697
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: So I think you look forward to that next year.

698
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: I think it was The Herald said that right now

699
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: as of today, they're projected to have something like one

700
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars under the cap next offseason. Patriots. Yeah, yeah,

701
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: so they could be they could have another off season

702
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: like last year. Right. So I think when people say

703
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what the plan is, I think that

704
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: they're talking about this year. Yeah, And because that's all

705
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: they look at it. They only the immediate and right now.

706
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: You know, I heard um Christian Floury. I think he

707
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, I consider the Patriots a team.

708
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: It's in the hunt. That's how I categorize them. Coming up.

709
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure for a playoff for a playoff spot,

710
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that right now. As of right now.

711
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: It's a big statement, being dead serious, it's a big

712
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: statement from me as of right now. They've fallen behind. Now, obviously,

713
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: all of this is on paper. All these improvements that

714
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: these and it's March quote unquote improvements that these other

715
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: teams have made are on paper. We don't know how

716
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: the team is actually going to show up on the field.

717
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: That includes the Patriots. But you know, certainly these other

718
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: teams that have added you know, Russell Wilson could go

719
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: to Denver and maybe Denver is not that good. I mean,

720
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, you should think they would be,

721
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: but you just you don't know for sure. Here's the thing,

722
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I know, like Sean Watson could go

723
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: to Cleveland and they could still stay. Some Patriots fans

724
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: have done this this game. Yeah, but when you have

725
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: to do that for like five teams to get yourself

726
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: right feel better, That's that's why. And that's why I say,

727
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: right now, as of this moment, I don't think they're

728
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: in the hunt. Yeah, I think they're on the outside

729
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: looking in. I think Denver in particular, is not a lock. Yeah, Like,

730
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm not just automatically anointing them as being a playoff

731
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: team just because they got Russell Wilson. I think they

732
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: will be. I think they will be. I think they're

733
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: going to be right in the mix. But there's a

734
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, a transition that needs to happen. They're same

735
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: with Cleveland, but there are other teams that are getting

736
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: better that are sort of like Cincinnati is making progress,

737
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe they lost the Super Bowl, so

738
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: maybe they have a step back, which is often what

739
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: happens to teams that lose the Super Bowl, right, yep.

740
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: So that's that's that's a real thing. But at the

741
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: same time, like Baltimore isn't probably going to lose its

742
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: entire roster to injuries this year. Yea. So even if

743
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati takes a step back and Baltimore is back to normal,

744
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers, yeah, they're going to have a third year

745
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: quarterback who's getting better, with a roster around him that's

746
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: getting better, and a defense that was absolutely wretched last

747
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: year that on paper has improved. Ye So again, so

748
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: now we're talking, well, maybe the Chargers route moves won't

749
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: won't work. And maybe the Raiders moves won't work. Maybe

750
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams got the contract and he's cooked, right, you know,

751
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: he's twenty nine years old. But maybe too many of them.

752
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: But the logic tells you that a couple of these

753
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: teams that made these moves are gonna have that bump

754
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: that the Patriots got last year. Right, and we were

755
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: on the fringe last year. You're gonna improved by two

756
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: or three games. If the Chargers improved by three games

757
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: like the Patriots did, then they were a lock for

758
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, and look at the Colts. I mean,

759
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: the Colts were like a win away from making the

760
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: Pots lost the last game of the season to the

761
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Right to miss the playoffs. So you got to

762
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: imagine with Matt Ryan, they're gonna be better, you know.

763
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: So I just have to be honest Patriots fans right now,

764
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, it's we're not there yet. We've got like

765
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: five and a half months before the first game that matters,

766
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: um and that's a long time. But right now they've

767
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: fallen behind. Yeah, and again I think maybe their focus

768
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: this year was more draft, right, and like you said,

769
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: then that's gonna take some time. Yeah, then we're gonna

770
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: have to be a little patient, right, and people are,

771
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: you know, but you don't. Fans are very very hard

772
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: at being patient. But you don't have a lot of

773
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: draft capital. So it's a kind of an odd year

774
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: to say, well, we're gonna do that in the draft. Well,

775
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: you got to hit at least on your first three picks. Yeah, well,

776
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: who does that. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna kill

777
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick if he doesn't do that. No, I know,

778
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: but they did last year and they need to do

779
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: that again. You know, what do you mean? No, Well,

780
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,959
Speaker 1: what do you make it faces about? I'm not gonna

781
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: be I'm not. And what's the third one? Well, they

782
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: got three picks. Three, they got three guys that contributed.

783
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: They had their quarterback was one of them. Okay, okay,

784
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 1: so out of the rest of normal picks, I would

785
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: say barmb or as a slam dunk. And you have

786
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 1: and Stevenson and you have a running back who played

787
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: well half the year. Okay, So if he's not going

788
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: to be enough for you, if if you can get

789
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: three guys that contribute, and I love Stevenson and wanted him,

790
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: by the way, to play before Bill did. Well, you

791
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: know more than Bill. No. But but my point is

792
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna draft three guys that he's probably going to

793
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: be reluctant to put in the lineup when you think

794
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: he should. I don't think I shouldn't say you when

795
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: everybody else thinks that's fair, you can say me. And

796
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: I think this year it's a little different mindset than

797
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,919
Speaker 1: last year. I think last year they might have thought

798
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: they were said yeah, yeah, But I think this year,

799
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: why do you think that anything has changed? They brought

800
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: the whole team back. They did not, Oh, for crying

801
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: out loud, They retained all the guys. They brought back

802
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: James White, who didn't really play last year. They brought

803
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: back Bentley, who is probably of all the linebackers. We

804
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: said he's the one guy we would bring back, and

805
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: they brought back mccordion Slater. That's it, right, So mccordy

806
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: and Bentley, you're going to prevent the guys that I

807
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: want to play play to from playing. We'll say about that.

808
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they're gonna I mean, no rookie

809
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: is gonna come in and play over Devin mccordy. Well,

810
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: I mean we don't know my plan, but maybe Dougger

811
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: and Phillips play more. I mean, he's nine million, Well

812
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: they play. They'll play plenty in Phillips, just like they

813
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: did last year. But it's the same. But my point

814
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: is you can't take the same team you did last

815
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: year basically come back with the same thing and then say, well,

816
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different this year with the way he

817
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: employs the personnel, like not going to be team. It's

818
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: not the same team. It's virtually the same team. And

819
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a couple of linebackers mixed in. That's it,

820
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: guys back, it's gonna be the guys that couldn't stop

821
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: the run last year are all gonna be. They have

822
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: to bring in corners, right, yes they will, but but

823
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: who Tres Mitchell? I don't know the answer to that.

824
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: I do. They signed Terrence Mitchell. Okay, he's not gonna

825
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: he's not the end. But if they draft I know

826
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: Andrew Booth in the first round, you gotta he's gotta

827
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: figure he's gonna start, right, Okay, If you tell me

828
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: a first round corner is not going to start, I

829
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: don't see it. I mean, maybe Chi Dowling started. I guess, so,

830
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: I guess the president is there. He was a second

831
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: round pick, so a first round pick should be a starter. No,

832
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: I know, let me know when he does that. Mac

833
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: Jones is the answer to the question, like he doesn't

834
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: like to do it. I just don't see it happening.

835
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: I just think he's in. I mean, who is he

836
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: gonna put out there? Is you're gonna put Terrence and

837
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: Mitchell ahead of your first round pick. I couldn't see that. No,

838
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: Jalen Mills, Yeah, I think. But I think the whole

839
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: thing is the mind. Like I said, the mindset for

840
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: this season might be different than last season, where they thought,

841
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: you know, we get it shot, we could you know,

842
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: catch a little lightning in a bottle with I don't

843
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: think so. You think that they had more confidence going

844
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: into last year with a rookie quarterback than they will

845
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: this year with that same rookie quarterback who won ten

846
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: games entering his second year. Yeah, I think that last

847
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: year's team was capable of more than this year. Yeah,

848
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: because I think last year, you know, you wanted to

849
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: rely heavily on your defense in your run, and your

850
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: defense failed you toward the end. I think this year,

851
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: they're not gonna I think they're gonna be a little

852
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: bit more realistic that way and say, Okay, we're not

853
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 1: going to be able to hold teams, you know, under

854
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: twenty four points every game in order to give our

855
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 1: offense a shot. I think it's gonna take a little time.

856
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: So I think young players may get more of a

857
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: chance this year than last year. The ones they have

858
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: and the ones that they bring you. I think the

859
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: ones they already have at that are almost aren't really

860
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 1: young anymore. They're interning like their third year. But those

861
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: guys I think will play. I don't think that sight unseen.

862
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,479
Speaker 1: You're just gonna pencil in your top three draft picks

863
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: as prominent roles. Didn't accord he start as a rookie. Yeah,

864
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 1: there are always outliers. They're always outliers. I'm not telling

865
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you he never did it. I just

866
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: told you ROSSI Dowling was the thirty third pick of

867
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: the draft. He started Week one, never played again, but

868
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: he started week one. So I'm not going to tell

869
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: you that Bill will never do it, because I've been

870
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: down that road before. There's nothing that Bill will never

871
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: I just think again, you know, we have to look

872
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: at it completely different than we have history, because history

873
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: included Tom Brady. Now it doesn't. I'm just looking at

874
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: the post Tom Brady era. Yeah, I know, I don't

875
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: play the young guys I'm going by by now I'm not.

876
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: This is my point. I could give you a million

877
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: Richard Seymour's and Matt Matt Lights, Vince Wilford, Vince Will.

878
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean guys that played prominent roles right out of

879
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: the Rod Mayo. That doesn't happen anymore very often. Well,

880
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: this is my point. Yeah, let's let's the post Brady

881
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: era is different, like those guys haven't played. Yeah, right,

882
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: I think I think in whether it was Bill or

883
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: pressure from ownership, I think there was a little pressure.

884
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: We gotta stay relevant. We gotta we withss the playoffs

885
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: one year. We can't do that two years in a row. Um.

886
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: I agree that that was part of the impetus for

887
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: the free agency free last year. Everybody just says it

888
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: was storm, but I think there was. But I think

889
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: it was also opportunity. They were the only team that

890
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: really had a lot of money. I don't think Bill

891
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: wanted to do that. Well I don't know, but they

892
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: did it, and they I think they took advantage of

893
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity. I do, I don't you know, Um, I

894
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: think in a lot of ways they're paying for it. Well,

895
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, I I listen. You know, I think Hunter

896
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 1: Henry is a good player. I'm glad he's on the team.

897
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm glad Borne's on the team. You know, you gotta

898
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: you gotta pay somebody. You're just not difference makers. Yeah,

899
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: all right, Um, I think I'm just cautioning everybody. I

900
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: think this could be that one. I've told people they

901
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: aren't in the hunt. I just cautioning now, his finger

902
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: wagging everybody, I said, you do want to put me

903
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: on on the lets That's why I'm saying. I wasn't

904
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: expecting that out of you. You know, he doesn't even

905
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm just cautioning

906
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: people to not have your expectation manager expectations. They could

907
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: take a step back to this could be that Bridge year.

908
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: You know, this could be that Bridge year, and then

909
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: next year we watched it out. We liked out when

910
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: those teams have to pay their guys like that rocket.

911
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: You know, we like that rocket next year. So it's

912
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, you have to take that one year where

913
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: you take a hit. Yeah. The only part could be

914
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: more than a year. The only part that I would

915
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: disagree with you is I can't fathom, for the life

916
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: of me, how they thought more of a team with

917
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback than they do when said rookie quarterback

918
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: had a promising rookie year and now was in year two. Yeah,

919
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: but they don't think there was good now, Like, I

920
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: don't understand how that works. Well, I just think because

921
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: of the defense, I really do, the defense is going

922
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: to be what what it is like. So they're not

923
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: playing with cornerbacks this year. They lost Jase Jackson, Fred Yeah,

924
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: that's it. Every other member of the second area that

925
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: played last year is bad. I know. But you had

926
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joe at the beginning, missed the last half of

927
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, and remember last year at the beginning,

928
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: we're like, well, you know, Gilmore will come back second

929
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: half they you know, so really to what we're still

930
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: out there by the way, Yeah, what we thought the

931
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: defense was gonna be last him and Malcolm Butler. Yeah, listen,

932
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm fight over who is twenty four they've got. I

933
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: think they've got twenty shoes on defense. You know, that's

934
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: the Paulist thing ever. But it was like, you're gonna

935
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: have it. I were twenty one, twenty one. You know,

936
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: unless all these unless all these guys that haven't been

937
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: playing suddenly start playing and are better than what they

938
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: had last year, I think the defense is going to

939
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: take a step back. I think the defense would be

940
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: better this year than it was last year. You do, yeah, Okay,

941
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that'll be good enough. But I think

942
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: those young guys depends on how much. But I don't.

943
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't think my feelings the guys, if if they play,

944
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: will be better than the guys they're replacing last year's

945
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: version of the guys. Yeah, yeah, not the career I'm

946
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: not telling you is better than High Tower, of course.

947
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Jay can be better than High Tower

948
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: was last year. Okay, like you were saying about Big

949
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: Ben and Tisky, right, all right, then we're back, baby.

950
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the differences around the AFC. That's

951
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: why I think Friend's mindset is right. Yeah. I think

952
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: when you look around the AFC and you see four

953
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: or five six teams with markedly more talent than they

954
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: had last year when you already like you beat you

955
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: beat the Chargers, you lost to the Colts, you lost

956
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins twice. Those are the teams that you're

957
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: you're sort of like minded with. Yeah, and those teams

958
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: look like I don't know about Miami, but those teams

959
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: look like they've gotten better Indie the Chargers, and you haven't,

960
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: right your sort of status quo. Even the Bills, I mean,

961
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: well the Bills were already yeah, they were already good.

962
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: But like the last two games were eye openers for

963
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: even Patriots fans to not be able to make a

964
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: team punt team punting two games, yeah, I've never seen

965
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: that point. When the second one was was even more

966
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: dramatically because it wasn't just punted. They didn't stop them

967
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: from getting into the ends. Yeah, they scored every time.

968
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a whooping. That's a whooping. And remember,

969
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: you know, like we said the other game, we had

970
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 1: the billboard out here that take the Patriots, the Bills

971
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Boy, we look bad there. Huh.

972
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: You know, at least we were ready just in case.

973
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, uh, let's go to Bill in Oklahoma. What's up, Bill, Gent,

974
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm a good afternoon. How are y'all okay? All right?

975
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'a I mean, I'm doing great.

976
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: I hate to be like doctor Phil and put y'all

977
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: on the couch and get y'all calmed down a little bit.

978
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: But it's fun here in the feistiness in the off season.

979
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: It's really good to hear. So sure, uh quick question.

980
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'll get a consensus or if

981
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: y'all want to ask this individually. Answering individually? What are

982
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: the top pre position needs in ranked order you could have?

983
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: You could have three ties for first, Well, you have

984
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: the first one back? Yeah? Yeah, I think cornerback is

985
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: the number one you have to replace Jason, Right, what

986
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: do you like Booth? I'm just saying I just threw

987
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: his name out there. I mean I would say corner

988
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: what's the Florida kid? Uh Kayer Elam Yeah right, it's

989
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: not how you pronounced his name. I think it's Kayer.

990
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: I'd say cornerback maybe. Yeah. See, now I would flip.

991
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: It's not that they don't have wide receivers. They don't

992
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: have a first wide receiver, so it's that particular wide

993
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: receiver that they need. Sure, you know, I just think

994
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: they need a dynamic wide receiver if they if Nikil

995
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: Harry had worked out, you wouldn't have that problem right now, right,

996
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be worried about that. I wanted a style,

997
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: like a guy with a style, you know, a skill

998
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: set that they don't have. Right. Cole Beasley still out there.

999
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: I know he's not that guy, but believe he's still

1000
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, he's out there. I mean you got

1001
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: your slot guy with him. Yeah. Paul doesn't like I'll

1002
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: take Jacoby Myers and they did. I mean, I don't.

1003
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 1: You don't like it when I, you know, speak highly

1004
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: of the guys that are on the rock. I think

1005
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers is better than Colby'sley today. Okay again not

1006
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: career today, okay, alright, alright, ask question? Yeah, do you

1007
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: all have any idea of when training camp starts? Has

1008
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: that been announced it all yet? Or that way too work?

1009
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: It's normally the last week of July, and it starts

1010
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,360

Speaker 1: how do you prepare him for like playing in New

1048
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: England with so we might actually be able to throw

1049
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: the ball in some particular games with the win and

1050
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: the code weather. I know he's played in code weather,

1051
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: but I imagine it beats It's a little bit different.

1052
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: But somebody like me, for example, who hates anything below

1053
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: damn near forty degrees. Yeah, I mean that's that's the

1054
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: way he looked, to be honest with you. I mean,

1055
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: the only way you can do it is take every

1056
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: advantage you can in practice when this bad weather. Just

1057
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: gotta get him out there, just gotta get used to

1058
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: just gotta get used to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I

1059
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: was just wondering because you know, of course, is the

1060
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: web is different now, so athletes like that they don't

1061
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: really have They got time to practice now, but you

1062
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: can't really replicate that type of you know, web engine,

1063
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: you know situations. So I don't know, I don't know

1064
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: how long they'll take him to get used to it,

1065
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: but I'll be does because you know you're gonna have

1066
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: to You're gonna have to do that up there, playing

1067
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: up there. But's Brady playing in California. He got used

1068
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: to it. I mean you can do it, Brady. Oh yeah,

1069
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: that's true. You have to send you have to send

1070
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: Mac to like uh, Norway or the Antarctic. Aaron Rodgers

1071
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Aaron Rodgers did play at California. You

1072
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: got that one, right, Yeah, Bully for you, Fred, you

1073
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: got that one right. Now. He's in the coldest of

1074
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 1: the cold stadiums, you know. So it's all about hand size,

1075
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: all right, thanks, Max's hands are frying. Yeah, they're average.

1076
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: It's about hand size. If you have small hands, it's

1077
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: tough and the cold. What's what's this now? I heard

1078
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: an eight? Yeah? Oh god, can you believe that we

1079
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: talk about it. It's like it's real, like we really talk.

1080
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: Abo went from eight and a half to eight. I mean,

1081
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: but that is his hand. That's a small hand. Combine

1082
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: to prod that's a small hand for a quarterback. But

1083
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: it is. It's definitely and when you see him gripped

1084
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: the ball, it's way at the end. But he also

1085
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: had talked to it. And I have no idea if

1086
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: this is accurate or just you know, sort of a rationalization.

1087
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: Evidently he has a sort of unorthodox grip where this

1088
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: like the between his thumb uh finger zab normally large

1089
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,439
Speaker 1: and he's able to wrap around the football that way.

1090
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: Why he like I don't know if he's double jointed,

1091
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: but it's a way that he I guess compensates. But

1092
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean eight and five eight, that's a small hand.

1093
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: Now when they measured the hand, is it go from

1094
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: the wrist to the top of the I believe it

1095
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: from Pinky. Yes, I think Fred's right. Yeah, Pinky like this,

1096
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: like I have a really small head. Yeah, it's the

1097
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: only thing that's wow. I have big Italian stallion, big stomach.

1098
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: Italian did you head? Now? I know we used to

1099
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: talk about the coke spoons, but did you wear the

00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: Italian horn? You know what I'm talking about it. I

Speaker 1: did wear an Italian horn. I did. Was fertility right,

1309
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: just Matt. Matt and I were going to do it together,

1310
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,600
Speaker 1: but we had some concerns about me being on the

1311
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: East coast and Matt being on the West coast. Okay,

1312

Speaker 1: Matt was actually out Withdrew um at his wineryact. Yeah,

1313
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:55,479

01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: if you were out in the West coast Withdrew. So

1315

Speaker 1: that was just a Drew would have had the concerns

1316
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: that because I raised my hand when when he was

1317
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: talking about the guys who sort of grew up with

1318
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:06,759

1336
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 1: video conference like that. That's one that seems like it

1337
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: could have lent itself to a video version as well

1338
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: because the scenery of the winery and it will be

1339

1345
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: d y J. Yeah all right. Um. Web Radio at

1346
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 1: Patriots dot com is the email address. We got a

1347
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 1: lot of emails coming in, so we read something I

1348
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 1: will uh. First one is from Joel and he says,

1349
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: I was curious to hear the PEU cruise opinion on

1350
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: the state of the Patriots. Did the Patriots become better,

1351
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: worse or the same after the first week of free agency.

1352
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: That's one question I think about this. I think the same.

1353
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,719
Speaker 1: Did the Patriots ranking in the AFC become better worse

1354
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 1: than the same after the first week in free agency? Worse?

1355
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: Probably all think worse. Yep? Do you all agree that

1356
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: we have a bottom five assistant slash coordinator coaching in

1357
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: the league? Not not talking about Bill? I can't really

1358
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 1: kind of hard to separate those two. I think we

1359
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: got two former head coaches. I think we're in good shape.

1360
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: Do you agree that if Bill decided to retire today

1361
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 1: and the current coaching staff and players stay in place,

1362
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: we are probably picking fifth overall in the twenty twenty

1363
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: three draft meanings the who's the head coach of building? Well,

1364
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: that's he doesn't It doesn't matter to him, he thinks, Okay, Yeah,

1365
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 1: I mean it's I need more, a little bit more information,

1366
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: hard with hypotheticals. So another would you're telling me, with

1367
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 1: the current roster and no Belichick, the five win team? Yeah,

1368
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 1: I think that might be generous. And he's saying, basically,

1369
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: we stink, But let's look at a positive side. We

1370
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: overpaid for a thirty five slash forty five free safety

1371
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:12,719
Speaker 1: that's past his prime. Fo Okay, well he's not happy

1372
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: signed Paul, He's not happy with the free agent resignings.

1373
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm not happy that they beside all of them, Like,

1374
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: if you could have convinced me, well, you know one

1375
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: from moral fine, I think there was room to sign

1376
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 1: some younger talent as well. I just also think it's

1377
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: a little it's a little unrealistic for some people to

1378
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 1: think that, you know, you go, first of all, you

1379
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: had twenty years of a dynasty, greatest quarterback of all

1380
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: time played for you for that that span, that you

1381
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: were immediately going to continue the dynasty run immediately, no

1382
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 1: brakes whatsoever. I'm not gonna take any steps back. I

1383
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 1: think people are just I don't know anyone who thought that.

1384
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of the people that ran into

1385
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: the show, people think like, what are we gonna do?

1386
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: How are we gonna get back to where we were?

1387
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: But here's where I this is ridiculous. The people that

1388
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: thought it was all Belichick. Here here's where I disagree

1389
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: with what Paul saying. Yes, they could have signed some

1390
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 1: younger players, but I don't think that them signing James

1391
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: White and the three other guys precluded them from doing that.

1392
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's what they're telling us. No,

1393
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:16,600
Speaker 1: they're not. I don't know what they're telling us. But

1394
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: i'd read any of the stuff but from the writers,

1395
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: which I know where it comes from. But I don't

1396
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: think signing James White or signing Bentley, Slater or mccordy

1397
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: is the reason why they haven't signed younger players. Yeah,

1398
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I would take Bentley out of the equation. The other

1399
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 1: guys I think they have. So Okay, when you give

1400
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: nine million dollars and you supposedly are tight in cap space,

1401
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: that's nine million dollars you can't sign young But I know,

1402
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: but I'm not buying that. Okay, I don't think I

1403
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: think that's their excuse. But I don't buy it either.

1404
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that that kept them or could keep

1405
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 1: them from signing younger players, you know, like, it's not

1406
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: they didn't sign those guys to the detriment of the team.

1407
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: In other way words, you know, we'll see, Yeah, we'll see.

1408
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they can still sign younger players. There's nothing

1409
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: stopping them from doing it. I agree, you know, I

1410
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: totally agree with that, But that is the reason that

1411
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: is being put forth by a lot of the local media, Well,

1412
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 1: they're wrong that they're up against it in the Cape.

1413
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: They're they're wrong, right, Have you not heard that? I

1414
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: think micguel has the numbers all the time. They're gonna

1415
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: need another two or three million for their draft picks

1416
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: and operating costs, and that's going to be they can

1417
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: if they if there's young players they want to sign,

1418
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: they can create space. I agree, they can create space.

1419
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do things to create that space,

1420
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: but they can. And I don't think that signing those

1421
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: other guys keeps I think the bigger problem that people

1422
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 1: aren't talking about, and it's not anything that's provable. It's

1423
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: completely anecdotal. I think you're right, Fred, I don't think

1424
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: this is a cap space issue. But I think what

1425
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: they want to do is they want to continue, Yeah,

1426
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: be interested in this guy, that guy and the other guy,

1427
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: but I want to do it on my terms. And

1428
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: they're finding out that when you're not the only one

1429
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: with money, it's hard and you're not willing to overpay

1430
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,679
Speaker 1: like you did for the vast majority of the guys

1431
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 1: you signed last year. They're not going to pick you. Oh,

1432
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: that's fair enough, you know, you know, but like, I'm not, like,

1433
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: but I'm not down on these signings that they have made.

1434
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: How can you not be? I can't understand that because

1435
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm it's fair to be down that

1436
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: they haven't signed young players. But I don't blame them,

1437
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: these young guys for I mean the older guys for

1438
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 1: not being for not signing those players. Did you think

1439
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: they were good last year when the season ended? No? So, like,

1440
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: why would you be in favor of bringing a lot

1441
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: of those pieces back because you need some veteran leadership,

1442
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: you need some Yeah, and they don't have a lot

1443
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: right now. These are the guys. These are the guys.

1444
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: These are the some that we're talking about. You know,

1445
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,720
Speaker 1: you need some circle the wagon. I think you need

1446
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: one of those guys. They signed three of them. Yeah,

1447
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: I I disagree. I you know, they need to do more,

1448
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 1: But I don't think this keeps them from doing like

1449
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 1: we could. We could really nitpick all of this, and

1450
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: again there's no answers to it, so it's kind of useless.

1451
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: But you guys know what I think of James White.

1452
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 1: You know how much love them is there? Like no

1453
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: chance that j J. Taylor could play. You signed Time Montgomery?

1454
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: Is there no chance that he can't fill that role

1455
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: instead of JJ, instead of James White? He might So

1456
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna cut White or he may just not play.

1457
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. They signed him to do

1458
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 1: a two year deal. Yeah, but these are the little

1459
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: things I'm talking about, Like, but there's a young James White,

1460
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: isn't good if Time Montgomery can play, James White isn't

1461
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna keep him from playing, is what I'm saying. Well,

1462
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: where is he gonna play? You didn't sight he's a

1463
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: pass catching running He may not play that much, So

1464
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: why you sign him to a two year deal? Right?

1465
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys on two year deals that

1466
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: may not play. Not everybody's on a one year proof,

1467
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: So that would be a bad, bad signing. Then if

1468
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: he doesn't play, I mean, you have to sign players,

1469
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: you have to fill your roster. I'd rather you know,

1470
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: I know, But they they would seem to have a

1471
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: little bit of a glut at running back, which they

1472
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: always do, and we always say, oh were they gonna

1473
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 1: do with all these running backs? And then they end

1474
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: up using them all They'll get rid of one of

1475
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 1: them is what they'll do that, that's what they did

1476
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: last or they could do that. Yeah, so we don't

1477
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: even know. We don't even know what I think James

1478
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 1: White was. We love you, James White signing because you

1479
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: don't even know how. Don't sign a guy for two

1480
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: years because I love you. You don't even know how

1481
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna be. They think he's going to be back

1482
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: in that role this year, and I, for one, I'm

1483
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: hoping he is because I love the guy, absolutely love

1484
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: the guy, and he's far superior to Ty Montgomery. Brandon

1485
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: Bolden last year was better than Ty Montgomery. Brandon Bolden

1486
01:19:58,240 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: had a good year last Oh he had a great year.

1487
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: Thank goodness. You know, you take him out of the

1488
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 1: equation as close as they were not making the playoffs.

1489
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: He that could be a reason why. Now what I

1490
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: don't know is JJ Taylor, because they've never let him

1491
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:17,679
Speaker 1: do anything for any extended period of time. Small hands.

1492
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's why. Maybe he's got small hands. Christen Colfax, California.

1493
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: With everyone complaining about Bill not going out and spending

1494
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: money on free agents, is there a chance people are

1495
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: mad at the wrong guy? Is there a chance Craft

1496
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 1: is not allowing Bill to spend much of his money

1497
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: this year, With the additions to the stadium and all that,

1498
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: Craft is spending a lot and maybe looking to save

1499
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: money at the cost of the team. For the last

1500
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: twenty years, he has stood back and let Bill do

1501
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: his thing. But could he be going the way of

1502
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and start meddling with the team? I hope not.

1503
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think that's it. I don't think so,

1504
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: because if you're Robert Craft, right and you're paying you

1505
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 1: know all the reports, you're paying Bill lot of money.

1506
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: You know, if you start meddling, then you don't have

1507
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: an excuse if the time comes right, Yeah, you know,

1508
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: you gotta let Bill do his thing. That's what you're

1509
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: paying him to do. I also don't think I mean, listen,

1510
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,640
Speaker 1: they spent a ton of money last offseason, so there

1511
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 1: was not any way a possibility that they're going to

1512
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: do it all again one million guaranteed. So I don't

1513
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,759
Speaker 1: think people are upset that the Patriots haven't spent money.

1514
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 1: I think people are upset that they haven't spent money

1515
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: on guys that they want, right, which is, by the way,

1516
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 1: two totally different things. What they normally do Like, what

1517
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:41,559
Speaker 1: if we're normally we're watching the whole thing go by us? Right?

1518
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: What if what if instead of Tie Montgomery and um

1519
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell they signed d J. Chark. Yeah, you think

1520
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: people would be happy or be pissy that they didn't

1521
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: spend any money. They'd be happy that would have cost

1522
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: you less. Yeah, they'd be happy because they feel like,

1523
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: that's a guy I know right at a position of need, right,

1524
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: and he can help grass is greener yep, yep. Right.

1525
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: That that's and again that doesn't mean it's right. Eric

1526
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: is right, like everybody always sort of gets upset. Now,

1527
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: I would say it's different now because you didn't need

1528
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: to make a splash every year in free agency when

1529
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,879
Speaker 1: Brady was here. He just needed a couple of tweaks

1530
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: here and there and give some specific things that were,

1531
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, deficient. I think they have deficiencies across the

1532
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: board right now, and you do too, Fred, based on

1533
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 1: they're not in the hunt. Um Power writes in He's

1534
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna He's gonna hear that one that quite often that

1535
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: one month and mac Jones isn't that good? That was

1536
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: that was that was fake that I have fun with? Yeah, Yeah,

1537
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: they're not in the hunt right now, is real right,

1538
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 1: They're on the outside looking in right now. I don't

1539
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: think Max's that good. We all know Matt Matt. He

1540
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 1: doesn't have to have his words right back to him.

1541
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: He knows what he said. He's a big boy. Uh.

1542
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,680
Speaker 1: Paul Pal says, I have a gripe with Paul. I've

1543
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 1: been listening, Yeah, Pal, it's Pal, oh not Paul Pale Sal.

1544
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 1: I've been listening to the radio show religiously, going on

1545
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 1: my fifth season, and I love every episode. But Paul,

1546
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: as of the last half of the season up to now,

1547
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,799
Speaker 1: you have gone off the rails with being a duomer

1548
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: arguing for sport and overall rude. It's taking away from

1549
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:25,680
Speaker 1: the quality of the show. Sometimes it's almost unbearable to

1550
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,799
Speaker 1: continue through the show when Paul will not let anyone

1551
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: speak without speaking over them louder and give it a

1552
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: rest on taking the opposite side of an opinion, just

1553
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: to be that guy. I don't think he's doing He's

1554
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: not doing that. They're talking over guys. I'll take that criticism.

1555
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: You're as bad and being an argumentative for the sake

1556
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: of being an argumentative. I'll take that. The whole rest

1557
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: of the real reason, the ninety percent of the reason

1558
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: why you're mad at me, it's because I was right.

1559
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: I told you that it wasn't as good as the

1560
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: seven game winning streak. That proved to be correct, and

1561
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,560
Speaker 1: now people like fred Or claiming that they're not in

1562
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: the hunt. So my doom scenario last December turned out

1563
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: to be correct, and now you're upset that I ended

1564
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: up being right. That's ninety percent of the reason why

1565
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,799
Speaker 1: you're upset up. We should let people speak for themselves.

1566
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 1: But okay, I think he's interpreting the email as he said,

1567
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: So you actually defended me as well as I defended myself. Well,

1568
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't argue things for the

1569
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: sake of art. I like to He really does hate

1570
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots, It's true. It's not that it's a put on.

1571
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:34,839
Speaker 1: You really don't think they're in the hunt for the playoffs.

1572
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:36,719
Speaker 1: I thought to put on either, But for this season,

1573
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm realistic. I am if nothing, think nothing else. First time.

1574
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: If nothing else, I'm very objective. I'm not willing to

1575
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: tell you just so you know, I think against the

1576
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 1: Patriots a few times. I'm not willing to say that

1577
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: they're not in the playoff hunt. I think that they

1578
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 1: need some help, but I'm not willing to say there

1579
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: out well, and I'm willing to say they might get

1580
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: that help. So I'm not giving up. It just seems

1581
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 1: right now, It seems right this moment in time we

1582
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: play Cleveland, right yeah, yeah, So that'll be in the

1583
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: first six weeks of this season, Deshaun Watson will be suspending. Like,

1584
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know how these yet work, right

1585
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 1: AJ in the Bay Area? Do you think the Patriots

1586
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 1: are depending on last year's free agency acquisitions to take

1587
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 1: another step forward this season and they are holding out

1588
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: on free agency this year in hopes of that. Clearly

1589
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: they saw the lack of talent in the passing game

1590
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: and addressed it last off season. How realistic is it

1591
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 1: that Smith can take a step forward in his second year?

1592
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: What about Agalore? I consider Born as having a decent

1593
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: showing last year. Has he reached his ceiling yet as

1594
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: a player, even though they swung and missed with Harry?

1595
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 1: I think they need to acknowledge that as a big

1596
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: need and step up to the plate again for a

1597
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver In the first two rounds. Can they draft

1598
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: a corner and wide receiver with the first two draft picks,

1599
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: or is there another need that requires picks that high

1600
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: to address? I would take those two positions for sure.

1601
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: I think there you probably have four or five positions

1602
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: where you could take any combination of them and they

1603
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: could be the first two picks. And I think you'd

1604
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 1: be right. There are that many needs that they have edge, linebacker,

1605
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 1: cornerback or receiver, mean o line, Any of those could

1606
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,640
Speaker 1: be the first two picks, depending on, you know, how

1607
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: how the board falls. But his other point is, yes,

1608
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: I hope that the second year of the free agents

1609
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 1: works out, and yes, I think there's a chance that

1610
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 1: they could be better. Some of those guys could be

1611
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 1: better in year two. Yeah, the flip side, I was

1612
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna say, they don't know. That's nothing to do with

1613
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: why they weren't aggressive in free agency, right, And they

1614
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 1: don't normally spend a lot in free agency to begin with,

1615
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 1: So the fact that they do normally bring players in though,

1616
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:57,640
Speaker 1: and they haven't really done that this year, well, and

1617
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:00,640
Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell in in time oncome. I mean, also, but

1618
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: to be fair, let's assume they were interested in someone

1619
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: like l Collins or Leonard Fournette or Juju Smith Schuster

1620
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: and those guys decided, Yeah, not quite as attractive a

1621
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,679
Speaker 1: place as it used to be. I'm gonna go somewhere else.

1622
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 1: We don't know for sure how hard they went after

1623
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: guys like that, and maybe those guys turn them down

1624
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 1: right way through. Then you have to adjust. Yeah, when

1625
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: you don't have Aaron Rodgers of Tom Brady blah blah blah. Yeah,

1626
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: you have to pay a lot more. You have to. Yeah,

1627
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: And if that's what they did exactly, and when you

1628
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 1: do that, guys will come. But when you don't, when

1629
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 1: things are even or even if you just a little

1630
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: bit more, they're gonna go when they can win. If

1631
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 1: you give a guy the most money, ninety nine percent

1632
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: of the time he'll take it. Yeah. Yeah, So otherwise

1633
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: I think they have to adjust. I mean, Cleveland had

1634
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: a ton of good players, you know, before they got

1635
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,560
Speaker 1: to Shawn Watson, they paid a lot of money. You know,

1636
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: do you think if they because obviously they didn't know

1637
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 1: last year at this time that they were going to

1638
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 1: have Mac Jones, and and mac Jones was going to

1639
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: be their starter at this point last year, they didn't

1640
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: know that that's right, that's true. They went in and

1641
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: when did they resign cam? Was that it was the draft? Right? Yeah,

1642
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,920
Speaker 1: it was an it was right before free agency. Oh okay,

1643
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: remember it was right before free agency and right, it

1644
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 1: was like they wanted to need that, right so they

1645
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,599
Speaker 1: could attract players. And I was thinking, I think that's

1646
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna have the opposite effect, but whatever, Right, So do

1647
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 1: you think that they spent more last year uncharacteristically for

1648
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: them because they needed to do like you said, Fred,

1649
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: they needed to entice the players to come here with

1650
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: the money, not the quarterback. Do you think that was

1651
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: a factor in why they threw some so much money

1652
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: at I don't think last year it was the money

1653
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 1: they threw. I mean, Fred's right, they threw They threw

1654
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot of money around and other teams had no money.

1655
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: So teams, you know, teams were deciding, players were deciding

1656
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 1: between a good out of money in a significantly less

1657
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: amount because of the the oddities of what happened, because

1658
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:08,520
Speaker 1: remember that the cat went way down. Sure, yeah, everybody

1659
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: had less to spend, but the Patriots had more. They

1660
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 1: had they just happened to have more that year, Yeah,

1661
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 1: they did, But I like the Patriots prepared for COVID.

1662
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:20,640
Speaker 1: They didn't know it was coming either. No, but my, my, my,

1663
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 1: large have a pandemic plan. No. My larger point though,

1664
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 1: was about the quarterback, Like they went into last last

1665
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 1: free agency with thinking Cam was their their starter right

1666
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: at the time, right, And so did they need to

1667
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 1: entice players to come here more with the money as

1668
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: opposed to saying, Hey, you're coming here to play with

1669
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: fill in the blank quarterback Brady or Roger, You're you're

1670
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 1: If it was Brady or Rodgers, I don't think they

1671
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: would have had to spend as much. But that's my point,

1672
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:49,560
Speaker 1: just to you a point. I mean, you did. You

1673
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 1: did a story on Kendrick Bourne and he flat out

1674
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 1: can't believe the amount of money. I think was the

1675
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 1: quote something like, I couldn't believe the amount of money

1676
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 1: they paid me, Right. So I just wonder if they

1677
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 1: felt like they really needed to more so because Cam

1678
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 1: was the quarterback at the time. But it wouldn't have

1679
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: been any different if Mac was the quarterback. But to

1680
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 1: Fret's point from from our discussion earlier in the show,

1681
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 1: you know about what they thought heading into a season,

1682
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:21,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of what like I suppose you could make

1683
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,439
Speaker 1: an argument that they thought when they were building the

1684
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 1: team and they were higher on the team, that it

1685
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 1: was with Cam Newton. But I think too much of

1686
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 1: Bill to think that he thought that Cam Newton was

1687
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: capable of bringing him to heights that. No. I think

1688
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 1: we can all agree they might have in twenty twenty. Yeah,

1689
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 1: before it all, yes, well, I think we were all

1690
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: in that, but they took a wholyar in twenty before,

1691
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: before we saw him play in twenty twenty, I think

1692
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: we were all excited about the possibility you could be

1693
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 1: healthy and that show. We were like, oh my god,

1694
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: you know which you kind of forgot about Cam Newton,

1695
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: which is not for nothing, But like, it's not like

1696
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't glooming doing the day they signed Cam Newton. No,

1697
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:02,160
Speaker 1: like the opposite. I think I thought that was a

1698
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 1: chance that he could be healthy and rekindle some of

1699
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:07,639
Speaker 1: his own magic. And I was like with Bill and Josh, yeah,

1700
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: I was on board with that, let's go. It's a

1701
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: great move. Let's go. But as as much as on

1702
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: board as I was with that in twenty twenty, I

1703
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 1: was against it in twenty one. It was a terrible move.

1704
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 1: Last year, no one was looking forward to that, and

1705
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,640
Speaker 1: it ultimately worked out for them because they got a

1706
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in the draft and they ended up playing him. Anyway,

1707
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,000
Speaker 1: let's get back to the ace ticket outline Williams and

1708
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: fill him. What's up William? Hey William? Well, well, yeah,

1709
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:37,720
Speaker 1: well I am was it in a playground? I think

1710
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 1: that's that's here? All right? Uh sorry, William. Let's go

1711
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:45,519
Speaker 1: to Todd North Carolina. Hey, Todd, Oh, Pauliam it's a

1712
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 1: pretty good show. Yeah. The last day, Yeah, I apologize.

1713
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 1: I heard the color protecting me, which is really absurd

1714
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:57,799
Speaker 1: because most of the time people call him to complain

1715
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 1: about me. Just ericy. Wow. But what I was the

1716
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: point that's gonna make the other day was just I

1717
01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 1: feel like we're still a little bit too old, Like

1718
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 1: we got and Henry Andrews, you're too old friends thirty two,

1719
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 1: Hoyer thirty two, McCarty thirty two, Slater thirty six, White thirty,

1720
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 1: Mitchell thirty, Folk thirty. We got Montgomery, he's twenty nine.

1721
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 1: We got we got a twenty nine year old. Yeah, yeah,

1722
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:25,719
Speaker 1: we threw that in there, not just thirty, not just thirty,

1723
01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 1: Todds thirties. Yeah, he just rattled them all off, they're

1724
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 1: all thirties seven, they're all up there, fulk really thirty seven? Yes,

1725
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 1: So now we're complaining about Nick Folk, Yeah, I mean

1726
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 1: and Brian Hoyer. Yeah, I wouldn't complain about Nichol. I

1727
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:42,680
Speaker 1: think they could use great a backup quarterback. Remind me

1728
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: because I teased that earlier. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sorry. Are

1729
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 1: they going to grow with mac Jones? What do you mean?

1730
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:54,720
Speaker 1: Are they gonna go with gone? No? He's saying, are

1731
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: theys mac Jones? No, they're gonna be gone. He's right,

1732
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 1: Nick Folk, who cares? Don't focus on don't pull an

1733
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:07,200
Speaker 1: Andy in Cherry pick one name that he said. Or

1734
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:10,599
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer, I mean, come off, he's talking about mccordy

1735
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 1: in white and Henry Anderson and the guys that are players.

1736
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: He's not talking about the special team's kicker. Let's see

1737
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 1: who they draft and let's see who they play this year.

1738
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,599
Speaker 1: But I'm actually with Eric. I've got Eric's mindset from

1739
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 1: last year. I'll be surprised if they do very well.

1740
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 1: I'll be pleasantly. I just want to see them like

1741
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,639
Speaker 1: for record wise, but I want to see them take

1742
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 1: steps you don't want to see them take steps, and

1743
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you take steps with old guys. I

1744
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 1: think he takes steps with some youth. Do you have

1745
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 1: any hope for the draft? Todd? I got some bad news, Eric.

1746
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:44,560
Speaker 1: I think they might trade out of the first and

1747
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:46,800
Speaker 1: second round is to get more drafts. Well that's fine,

1748
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: but do you think do you think that the guys

1749
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:50,600
Speaker 1: that like, let's say they trade down to get like

1750
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 1: a pair of second round picks, So now suddenly they

1751
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: have like three first three second round picks. Do you

1752
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:57,960
Speaker 1: have any hope that those guys can contribute right away

1753
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 1: after last year? I have a little, I have some

1754
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: whole park. I'm actually kind of thinking that there's enough

1755
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,439
Speaker 1: receivers here that I don't think they can go wrong.

1756
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 1: I think that day two, absolutely, Day two receiver. Todd's right,

1757
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 1: they can get a good a good receiver on Day two.

1758
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm hoping so too, and not just a receiver, but

1759
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 1: other So I do have hope. Like I said, I'm

1760
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 1: not down on the team. I cheer to them since

1761
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:22,880
Speaker 1: seventy two. For god sick, that's a long time. Yeah,

1762
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,160
Speaker 1: you don't sound that old, Todd. I'm sixty five. I

1763
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 1: was born in sixty seven. Wow, But you know, I'm excited.

1764
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm excited about the new year.

1765
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 1: I think I think mac Jones will take a leap.

1766
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 1: I just I think we've got a really good running game.

1767
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: And I'm really just I want to see what they

1768
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 1: can do. But I'm a little nervous about having a

1769
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: little bit too much old guy on the on the team.

1770
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: That's just my thought process, is it. If you're going

1771
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: to go young and you're looking at the future, go young,

1772
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 1: don't just kind of find your way. And I don't.

1773
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 1: I'm not mad about last year because I think last year,

1774
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 1: I think they actually had an attempt. If if there

1775
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 1: would have been this one a little bit better step

1776
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 1: left in High Tower and some of these other guys

1777
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,680
Speaker 1: Bolden had a step left, who knew, Yeah, you know,

1778
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: if some of that would have happened with High Tower

1779
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 1: and with the linebackers and stuff, there was a chance,

1780
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 1: if we hadn't gotten a dB hurt, there was a chance.

1781
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: So I think last year wasn't that bad of an effort.

1782
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:18,920
Speaker 1: And Todd, don't don't get me wrong, I'm gonna be

1783
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: disappointed if they trade down on in the first round.

1784
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:23,000
Speaker 1: Don't you worry I'll have I'll have a runt for

1785
01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 1: you on draft night if they do that. Yeah, and

1786
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,720
Speaker 1: I went to analysis Ark. I read it. It's really good.

1787
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: It triggered a nice little argument at the end of it. So,

1788
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:32,800
Speaker 1: oh did it where in the comment? Yeah? I did.

1793
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 1: Eldred can't wait to argue with Paul. What's up? Eldredating

1794
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:58,280
Speaker 1: is fundamental? Oh you're gonna agree with Paul. Oh that's

1795
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 1: no fun. Agree with Paul. Paul. I root you one

Speaker 1: thirty just leave me one, you know, just one? And Bill?

1798
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 1: You got some young I understand, you got the young

1799
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:13,919
Speaker 1: free agent. You got this corn and green Bay distillman

1800
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 1: in sign. Yet he's six six three, he's like twenty six.

1801
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, I would take a flower him to take

1802
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 1: one on Mathis and then you don't. You're gonna let

1803
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 1: two of your best corners go fil Moore and and JC. So,

1804
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 1: like I said, you back of the heap again, and

1805
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 1: then I'm like you, Paul, give him some youth. I'd

1806
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: rather go down fighting with youth and then going down

1807
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 1: swing if yeah, if Fred is right and they're gonna

1808
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 1: struggle this year to be in the playoff hunt, then

1809
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 1: I would rather do that with a roster that is,

1810
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, three years younger by average age. Who are

1811
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: you talking about for green Bay Rosal Douglas he signed, Yeah,

1812
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:56,840
Speaker 1: he signed, Yeah he's not. Green Bay resigned. Green Bay

1813
01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:03,479
Speaker 1: resigned him. Well in a wind tunnel, all right. Uh,

1814
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 1: but like I said, you know, just get no Trin Brown.

1815
01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:09,920
Speaker 1: I can understand that that one they had, well, they

1816
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 1: had to sign Trent Brown because they were desperate. Yeah,

1817
01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:18,479
Speaker 1: I got panic signing. Yeah, but time Montgomery and that

1818
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 1: those are guys. No, Like I said, I saw on

1819
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: the NFL network that Lenette for Nette was coming in

1820
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,400
Speaker 1: for a workout or looks. Yeah, he was here yesterday

1821
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:30,679
Speaker 1: for a workout, but he signed this morning with Tampa.

1822
01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:34,080
Speaker 1: Signed back with Tampa. Yeah. I gets Brady getting the

1823
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 1: game back, so brunk Grunk could be next. So I'm

1824
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: just I'm just be honest with you. I understand what

1825
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:47,680
Speaker 1: you said. Uh uh turn Er, Yeah, about this on

1826
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 1: how you spend. But like I said, you want some excitement.

1827
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 1: These something optimists, these show mean that you want to

1828
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 1: fight a little bit instead of giving up the whole chip.

1829
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: To me, like I think Bill just went the old

1830
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: game back and think of death gonna be in this.

1831
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:02,880
Speaker 1: It's not back in the day. This is something just

1832
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: up to up to date. Well what if they're let me,

1833
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:07,640
Speaker 1: let me just just to play Devil's advocate. What if

1834
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:10,840
Speaker 1: they're playing the long game here right? I've read that.

1835
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: I've read that a lot. But like but there are

1836
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: in order to move forward, sometimes you have to take

1837
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 1: a step back. And maybe by signing these older guys,

1838
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to take

1839
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 1: a step back. He's running it back, but maybe a back.

1840
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: Maybe running it back is taking a step back. Yeah,

1841
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:35,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense at all. This show don't

1842
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 1: know to me. Like I said before, I love him

1843
01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:42,120
Speaker 1: as a coach, I can't stand him as a GM

1844
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:46,560
Speaker 1: never did, never did call the stupid simes like you

1845
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 1: pays foot soldiers instead of ones that produced, they go

1846
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,400
Speaker 1: get somebody else. It's drafting last year. I get I

1847
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 1: get him a for that. I get him an ad

1848
01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:56,599
Speaker 1: for that for last it's an excellent draft, an absolutely

1849
01:38:56,600 --> 01:39:01,120
Speaker 1: one out of seven years one of you know, so no,

1850
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: I wish. Yeah. I mean, he's definitely in a drought,

1851
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of a draft drought. But I think

1852
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 1: if you look at it, the entirety of his twenty

1853
01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: whatever year is twenty two. Very very good draft. It's

1854
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 1: a very good draft. I've said that repeatedly. Fred, It's

1855
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 1: another one that I'm play. I know that's true. That's

1856
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 1: why you get to the GM part, Like people is like, well,

1857
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:27,599
Speaker 1: I don't know, he won twenty years and up, Well,

1858
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:29,720
Speaker 1: I think you know, as time is moving on, I

1859
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: think we're seeing more and more as to why that was.

1860
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: Because I think they had opportunities to do things in

1861
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:39,680
Speaker 1: individual seasons and didn't always do it the right way. Um.

1862
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:41,680
Speaker 1: You know, the two thousand and six season is a

1863
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:44,720
Speaker 1: great example of it. When they allowed Givens to go

1864
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: in free agency, they trade Branch and they end up

1865
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:50,680
Speaker 1: with nothing for a team that was absolutely capable of

1866
01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl, and they fell short because of that. So,

1867
01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 1: I mean that's just one small example they get short.

1868
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 1: They fell short because the cults cheated. They were pumping

1869
01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 1: the flu into the lot, and the heat and the

1870
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 1: and the noise was probably the onset of COVID right there,

1871
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:10,719
Speaker 1: I think, brewing it up in Indiana. So I wanted

1872
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit real quick about the backup

1873
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 1: quarterback thing because there were a couple of things that

1874
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 1: have happened, and I don't know if maybe some of

1875
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:18,560
Speaker 1: our listeners may not be aware of some of the

1876
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:24,760
Speaker 1: minutia um. But last week the Patriots were at a

1877
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:30,080
Speaker 1: pro day for Western Michigan and yeah, one of the prospects,

1878
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 1: now they have a sky sky more is a highly

1879
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 1: thought of Day two wish. I think a slot guy

1880
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 1: who was you know, so they absolutely could have been

1881
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: looking at him, but reports indicated that they were really

1882
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: interested in watching Caleb Ellaby, who was a Day three

1883
01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 1: quarterback prospect. And part of this was Joe Judge was there.

1884
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:58,599
Speaker 1: The reporter for the I think it was M Live, Yeah,

1885
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 1: m A Zoo where Western Michigan has reported that he

1886
01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 1: was asked specifically who they said with a quarterback because

1887
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 1: because evidently they said that the quarterback coach for the

1888
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:12,559
Speaker 1: Patriots was watching Ellibe. Yeah, and then he was asked

1889
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 1: I think Mark Daniels asked specifically that guy who did

1890
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 1: they say was the quarterback coach? And they reported it

1891
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 1: was Joe Judge. So I don't bring it up just

1892
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 1: for the reason to say, well, that looks like Joe

1893
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: Judge is gonna be working with quarterbacks, because I think

1894
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 1: that those kinds of things. I don't think Western Michigan

1895
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:30,720
Speaker 1: knows who the quarterbacks coaches, So I'm not putting as

1896
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 1: much stock in that part of it as I am.

1897
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 1: The fact that that was interested pro day They're looking

1898
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:41,719
Speaker 1: at a day three quarterback. Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Okay,

1899
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 1: fast forward. They have a situation yesterday where they had

1900
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 1: a handful of guys in for workouts. One of them

1901
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 1: was Joshua Dobbs, formerly Pittsburgh, who spent some time I

1902
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 1: think he played for Tennessee in college, spent some time

1903
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, and has been in the league for

1904
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 1: a couple of years as a number three type quarterback.

1905
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 1: That to me is not a coincidence. Now there's something

1906
01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 1: that you're looking at backup quarterbacks. They're looking to get younger,

1907
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:18,600
Speaker 1: you know in some way. My question is to and

1908
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:20,240
Speaker 1: I'll pose it to you, goat, do you think that

1909
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 1: maybe Jared Stidham should not be buying too many green bananas,

1910
01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 1: um or do you think they think they can do

1911
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: better than Hoyer as a backup and Stidham could be

1912
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 1: the backup and they put a kid in for when

1913
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:35,600
Speaker 1: Stidham's going next year? Because I think I think the

1914
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 1: last year, well, either one of those. Yeah, I'd like

1915
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 1: to think it's the ladder Paul. But they sign Horrier

1916
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: to a two year deal, so what does that. That's

1917
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 1: no real money though, so you can just cut them,

1918
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 1: you could, but I mean, like again, I'll go back

1919
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: down myself. No, but like if they if they wanted to,

1920
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,960
Speaker 1: they could have just like let Horyer that not signed

1921
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 1: Hoyer at all and say Jared stidhams are backup quarterback.

1922
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:02,639
Speaker 1: If they felt that good about him, I would prefer

1923
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 1: that that's what the road they would have gone down.

1924
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 1: But I have to think that they don't feel that. Yeah,

1925
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 1: what I think. What I think is they've they're probably

1926
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 1: going to look to draft a quarterback sometime in Day three,

1927
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: and if that guy comes into camp and shows any

1928
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:22,599
Speaker 1: kind of promise, I think it's a battle between Hoyer

1929
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:26,160
Speaker 1: and Stidham the losers out. Yeah, I think I think

1930
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 1: now you could always put the rookie on the practice

1931
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,439
Speaker 1: squad or whatever. You know, like Caleb Ellabe could probably

1932
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:34,800
Speaker 1: go to the practice squad without fear of losing him. Um,

1933
01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: and we'll see what the new rules, if any adjustments.

1934
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 1: I know the NFL has said the COVID nineteen protocols

1935
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:44,720
Speaker 1: are no longer in place as of right now, but

1936
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 1: we don't know what that means for the rosters. Eric

1937
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 1: will be going to the owner's meetings next week. Next week, UM,

1938
01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 1: so maybe there'll be some news coming down with some

1939
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 1: of those kind of you know, i R designations, roster

1940
01:43:56,640 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 1: limitations and um, you know the practice squad, EXPAN protection

1941
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 1: on the pre there's a lot of different things that

1942
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 1: went into place two years ago because of the coronavirus

1943
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:10,560
Speaker 1: and see if they stay. It's interesting because normally in

1944
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: the lead up to those meetings, they send out this

1945
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: big document of proposals for rule changes, and typically you

1946
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:23,520
Speaker 1: get like a half dozen or so maybe eight club submissions,

1947
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 1: Like teams will come up with their own things, and

1948
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 1: sometimes they band together and they submit a joint proposal,

1949
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 1: and then the competition committee will have like three or

1950
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:33,679
Speaker 1: four of their own. So you've got like this large

1951
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 1: document of like a dozen rule proposal changes. They sent

1952
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 1: it out this past week. There were three. Yeah, I

1953
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: think it's just really over and it's really really two

1954
01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 1: well like three teams. Two proposals to change overtime. One

1955
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 1: of them is like for allowing scouts to stay with

1956
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,679
Speaker 1: their team through the draft before they can get hired.

1957
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,280
Speaker 1: That's like a administrative kind of thing. But the two

1958
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:58,679
Speaker 1: actual proposals were about fixing overtime, and there was nothing else.

1959
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:02,479
Speaker 1: It's nothing else about like nothing wrong with the game. Fred, Yeah,

1960
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:04,640
Speaker 1: like need no need to look here. You know what

1961
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:08,160
Speaker 1: I want more taunting penalties this year. Let's increase the

1962
01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 1: right now. Do you think that that like Goodell threatened

1963
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,400
Speaker 1: everybody and if you propose getting rid of the taunting rule,

1964
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 1: you're out. Sorry, No, it's okay. But like it struck

1965
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:19,720
Speaker 1: me as weird because normally there's a there's a lot

1966
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: of business on the agenda, and it seems like like

1967
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 1: unless they send another one out at the at the

1968
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 1: eleventh hour, there's not that much that's going to be

1969
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:29,960
Speaker 1: to talk about. I mean, I think that's a I

1970
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 1: think that's a big one that you bring up though

1971
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 1: about the the the practice squad rules and the game

1972
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 1: day like promotions, and that won't necessarily be a rule change.

1973
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:39,400
Speaker 1: That's a big, big thing, and that that's because they

1974
01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:41,960
Speaker 1: I think that was part of the coronavirus sure the

1975
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: a yeah, that they shoehorned in before the twenty twenty season.

1976
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:48,719
Speaker 1: I just want to be an amendment to that sure

1977
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 1: and and I don't remember if the amendment said that

1978
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 1: that was temporary for during the COVID or if they

1979
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: were going to keep that like long term, because I

1980
01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 1: think it worked. It's worked out great over the past

1981
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:00,640
Speaker 1: two years. I know, my buddy for teams having that

1982
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:03,240
Speaker 1: flexibility to be able to maneuver I practice squad guys

1983
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 1: at the last minute, and that's I think that's some

1984
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 1: of that stuff I think has worked well. I think

1985
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 1: the unlimited i R I think is a home run. Yeah,

1986
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 1: I don't think you need sixteen guys in the practice squad.

1987
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that necessarily is you know again, Bill

1988
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,800
Speaker 1: will tell you, yeah, if you give a sixteen spots,

1989
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:20,680
Speaker 1: well we'll fill the sixteen spots. I don't think you

1990
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:25,080
Speaker 1: need sixteen guys on the practice squad. But I think

1991
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,599
Speaker 1: the i R thing is something that they would probably

1992
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 1: look into. I hope so, because yeah, like even the

1993
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 1: short term aspect of it, Like you can put a

1994
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: guy on you know, week three, yep, and know that

1995
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 1: you can get him back right by you know, three weeks.

1996
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:44,280
Speaker 1: Like that to me prevents teams from stashing guys on IR, right, Yeah,

1997
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 1: Like you're not taking a guy who wouldn't be on

1998
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:48,599
Speaker 1: your roster and put him on IR and preventing him

1999
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 1: from playing somewhere else, right, yeah, yep. So do you

2000
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: what do you think of the quarterback thing? Fred I? I,

2001
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 1: like I said, I mean, don't you think that there's

2002
01:46:57,439 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: probably some interest? I mean, I know all teams should

2003
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 1: always be interested in quarterback development, but I think it's

2004
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:06,519
Speaker 1: more than just that in this case. Oh, I do too,

2005
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 1: And I think either one of your scenarios could be true.

2006
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:12,519
Speaker 1: I tend to think that Stidham's the one that would

2007
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: go me too, because I think he's in the last

2008
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:20,320
Speaker 1: year of his contract. Maybe you try to, you know,

2009
01:47:20,439 --> 01:47:24,759
Speaker 1: waited under his age and his contract, but don't forget

2010
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:29,639
Speaker 1: what was his situation last year during during preseason back injury,

2011
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: couldn't play. Yeah, maybe he plays this year. Has a

2012
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:37,720
Speaker 1: couple of you know, decent flash kind of play. You

2013
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 1: get a conditional late round pick for him, and you

2014
01:47:40,439 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 1: deal him and you have the guy that you drafted

2015
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 1: to replace the number three, and otherwise you're gonna end

2016
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:48,920
Speaker 1: up losing him for nothing as a free agent. And

2017
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, I know it's not much. Was he a

2018
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 1: fourth round pick? Yeah, so it's I mean, the rookie

2019
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:58,120
Speaker 1: fourth round, fourth year contract is not you know, onerous

2020
01:47:58,200 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but you do save some buck. Yeah,

2021
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: Justin writes in I have two questions for US guys today.

2022
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 1: I've heard you talk about the AFC East when Brady

2023
01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 1: was here being weak compared to the Patriots. Buffalo's are

2024
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 1: joining the same thing right now, Now that the NFC

2025
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 1: has weakened as far as competition goes, does Brady find

2026
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:23,960
Speaker 1: himself again in a sweet spot? Absolutely? Yeah, absolutely, Especially

2027
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 1: it's good to be Tom Brady. Yeah, like a lot

2028
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,720
Speaker 1: of things have worked out for him, being in an

2029
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:32,200
Speaker 1: Alabama fan and watching Mac lead his team to a

2030
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 1: national title and find himself in contention for the Heisman Trophy.

2031
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 1: I have hope for his future in New England. I

2032
01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 1: also am aware that college level talent does doesn't always

2033
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,760
Speaker 1: translate into pro talent, but who knows. We'll have to

2034
01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 1: wait and see. I do think he has the foundation

2035
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 1: under his under him to be great or something like that.

2036
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: Thanks for all you do for the show. We'll hear

2037
01:48:55,640 --> 01:49:03,960
Speaker 1: from I don't even know. That was the exasperated Fred. Yeah, yeah,

2038
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:07,439
Speaker 1: something about a spat and talking after the show or

2039
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's in a spat with somebody. I

2040
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 1: don't know what you guys did last week, but you

2041
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:14,439
Speaker 1: got everybody all riled up. Yeah, somebody called it angry

2042
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 1: at Deuce. Oh Bryan and Indiana. Brian, Yes, Fred, he no,

2043
01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:24,920
Speaker 1: he ripped him a new one, did he ripped? Oh

2044
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 1: that's much better. Yeah, he uh he gave him telling

2045
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:31,960
Speaker 1: me he was all a flood. And Deuce was just like, yeah,

2046
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:34,559
Speaker 1: well because I came in the next day and uh,

2047
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 1: Deuce was hurried right over to my office and fill

2048
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:41,640
Speaker 1: me in so powering. Yeah, Brian, and you know how

2049
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 1: he talks. Yeah, And Mike was just like, okay, all right, Brian,

2050
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:53,639
Speaker 1: and Indiana needs a radio gig. You know. I kind

2051
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 1: of like Bill. I think he's a good coach. You

2052
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,559
Speaker 1: know what I like about Deuce, He's he's already taken

2053
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 1: to the fred tactic right, putting words and people pretending

2054
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 1: that you don't like. Yeah, I don't know about you,

2055
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: but you know I'm anti abortion because I'm not pro death,

2056
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 1: you know, Like, Oh, is that what being pro choice means?

2057
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:17,000
Speaker 1: Like I want to kill babies? Oh? Oh, I get

2058
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:20,760
Speaker 1: it all right. Yeah, Prene writes in from Chicago. I've

2059
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 1: been following with the show for two years and like

2060
01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: all your thoughts on different topics. But on last Thursday show,

2061
01:50:26,640 --> 01:50:30,000
Speaker 1: I really missed Paul when I was hearing. When I

2062
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 1: was listening to that show, everybody is like, there's no Paul,

2063
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 1: so let's get our thoughts out with any pushback, because

2064
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 1: usually pushback is from Paul. Pushback Paul. But I had

2065
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 1: a feeling it was gonna be one of the most

2066
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:45,880
Speaker 1: backhanded ps. Of course, this is a snark email with

2067
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 1: some truth to it. I think Mike waits for the

2068
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,559
Speaker 1: time when Paul is not on the show to give

2069
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:54,320
Speaker 1: his Belichick love without any pushback. Mike's afraid of me.

2070
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 1: I think that was established in the first five minutes

2071
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 1: show when we heard the open. He doesn't get it.

2072
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to get yelled at by Paul. You

2073
01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:04,280
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of pushback from me about Belichick

2074
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:08,920
Speaker 1: the coach. By the way, right, Mike m Mike is

2075
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 1: formerly in sp New Jersey and now in Winchester, Virginia.

2076
01:51:14,280 --> 01:51:19,439
Speaker 1: South Do you know South Brunswick. Maybe, Yeah, that's what

2077
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking. Yeah, the men of PFW. This that

2078
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 1: includes Eric, because I'm not an a hole, got your back.

01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 1: Eric h Sitting here typing away at a huge research

01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:35,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning at eight am, and I happen to run

01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: an oh. Makes me chuckle every time I have an

2084
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,559
Speaker 1: opportunity to use it because I think back to all

2085

Speaker 1: the crazy stuff on this show. Somehow, you guys always

2086
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:50,400
Speaker 1: leak into my everyday life. If there's a PU reference

2087
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 1: to be made, I have to make it, even if

2088
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:55,640
Speaker 1: it's just under my breath, into myself. Your work on

2089
01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 1: this traditional podcast that's for you, Fred, helps keep this

2090
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:02,679
Speaker 1: grad student going, helps keep this grad student from pulling

2091
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:05,640
Speaker 1: his hair out. You all give much needed relief at

2092
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:08,639
Speaker 1: times when I and everyone else who listens need it most.

2093
01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 1: PS had a dream last night where I was able

2094
01:52:11,520 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 1: to ask Belichick the question, and I chose to ask

2095
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:17,719
Speaker 1: about whether he would rather have Gillette converted to grass

2096
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,719
Speaker 1: instead of having to play on turf to reduce injuries

2097
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:24,439
Speaker 1: to players. Really hope that wasn't my one truth serum question.

2098
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 1: So yikes. What was his ancestor earlier? Probably woke up

2099
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 1: before he Yeah, that's too bad. Yeah, imagine if he had,

2100
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:35,679
Speaker 1: like you want to contest, you ask Belichick one question,

2101
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 1: anything in the world, anything you want. Would you rather

2102
01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: have Joette Stadium natural grass? And he looks at you,

2103
01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:44,360
Speaker 1: he goes, Really, that was the question you're asking. That's

2104
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:47,960
Speaker 1: all you gotta Huh. I have no idea. You don't

2105
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: want to know why Malcolm Butler play the Super Bowl?

2106
01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 1: Dana Virginian, Michigan. Um, well, Paul, there's good news and

2107
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 1: bad news. The good news is that the Patriots haven't

2108
01:52:57,520 --> 01:52:59,719
Speaker 1: resigned any more of the old players and the roster

2109
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:04,160
Speaker 1: you concerned they would in one elsewhere. The bad news

2110
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:06,719
Speaker 1: is that they were having old players in for visits,

2111
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: including old former Patriot players. Given that Paul is in

2112
01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 1: today and this game improved a bit difficult last week.

2113
01:53:13,479 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 1: It was a nickname game. Oh yeah, nickname going back

2114
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 1: to the seventies, here's a new round of the nickname

2115
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 1: game for you, for Paul's benefit. You have to identify

2116
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 1: the Patriot player by their nickname. I make no guarantee

2117
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:29,160
Speaker 1: about the accuracy of the nickname, but so it's what

2118
01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:31,680
Speaker 1: you call them well, like for instance, like that he

2119
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:34,000
Speaker 1: gave one of them was like mister one O eight

2120
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 1: and he's like, I was a Patriot between two thousand

2121
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:40,840
Speaker 1: and five and two thousand and nine whatever it wasn't

2122
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:42,960
Speaker 1: like we're then it was Ellis Hobbs and we were

2123
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 1: thinking was it because he ran the kickoff back one

2124
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:47,720
Speaker 1: hundred and eight yards? Like, so he makes up the nickname. No, no, no,

2125
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:50,360
Speaker 1: I think who called him. Somebody did at one time.

2126
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:52,920
Speaker 1: He might have called himself that, you know, but anybody

2127
01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't ever remember that. It was that kind of

2128
01:53:56,479 --> 01:53:59,360
Speaker 1: level of difficulty that's made up. Yeah, they're all from

2129
01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:02,960
Speaker 1: published horses and should be legit. After last Thursday, I've

2130
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 1: revised the list to include players only from the nineties onwards,

2131
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:10,040
Speaker 1: So nineties onwards who were on the team for at

2132
01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:12,400
Speaker 1: least a few years, aside from a couple of long

2133
01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:15,679
Speaker 1: term players who were well known. Okay, all right, first

2134
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:19,200
Speaker 1: one is Boo nickname was Boo or one of his

2135
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:26,640
Speaker 1: nickname was Boo. Played from seventy eight to ninety so

2136
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:32,960
Speaker 1: he said ninety onwards. The end of the career, he

2137
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:35,800
Speaker 1: was Tippett. No, because I mean he was best known

2138
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 1: for him a special team. He was Mozy to two

2139
01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:43,040
Speaker 1: poo and they called him Boo. Yeah. I guess the

2140
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 1: Flyer eighty four to ninety two, Irving Irving Friar, the Undertaker,

2141

Speaker 1: He had two uh nicknames, Big and Winter ninety one

2143
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:14,000
Speaker 1: to ninety nine Winter. Oh, Ben Coates, that's right. Oh, Hollywood,

2144
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:20,600
Speaker 1: I can confirm this one anyway. Best known as a

2145
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:23,720
Speaker 1: special teamer. See that's why I don't know these guys.

2146
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 1: Ninety four to two thousands, so he was on the

2147
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:31,840
Speaker 1: team for a while, Hollywood. Two thousand. Larry Wigham, Larry Wiggham, Wow,

2148
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:36,680
Speaker 1: Larry Wigghamwood. Um, this one I didn't know. He was

2149
01:55:36,800 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 1: called the pound puppy. Yeah, I have a little question.

2150
01:55:43,240 --> 01:55:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm suspected some of that, I bet you. When somebody

2151
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:49,480
Speaker 1: called him that pound puppy ninety five to two thousand

2152
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 1: and four, ty law, Nope, first name begins with T

2153
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 1: Ted Johnson, Ted Johnson, I was just Johnson the Pound.

2154
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't even think have the nickname. I think of

2155
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 1: the years that he tells me they were on the table.

2156
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't remember that one. How about the thumb? I

2157
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 1: know why? I think I know the thumb? Oh one,

2158
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:21,360
Speaker 1: two thousand and one to two thousand and three, Tom Tupa, No, No,

2159
01:56:21,480 --> 01:56:23,840
Speaker 1: he was in the ninth the thumb. He was in

2160
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:27,600
Speaker 1: the night. Wasn't he in the nineties? Tupa, yeah, mid nineties.

2161
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 1: You get it. Mike Compton, I think you not have

2162
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 1: a thumb. I think he had a toe that looked

2163
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:36,600
Speaker 1: like a thumb or something like that. I like. I

2164
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 1: like games this one even even I don't know the nicknames,

2165
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 1: and I'm still enjoying this. Um. This one is a

2166
01:56:44,800 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 1: little bit tricky. Boss Hog Boss. See when I first

2167
01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 1: saw it, I thought it was John Hannah, but Hannah

2168
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:01,800
Speaker 1: was just Hog. Yeah, I didn't know that. This person

2169
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of like a Southern guy. But what years

2170
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:15,640
Speaker 1: three to eight on defense Ty Warren Boss Hog Tiny

2171
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 1: two more, his nickname is tiny Remember anybody calling these

2172
01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 1: people the real deal? Jake Steele oh two? Then he

2173
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:38,240
Speaker 1: skipped a year then, oh four to eight mm, no idea,

2174
01:57:38,720 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 1: you're wrestling with it. Steven S the real deal, Steve Neale,

2175
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:48,280
Speaker 1: last one kool Aid. Oh that one I do remember.

2176
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember it, but I do remember someone being yeah,

2177
01:57:52,920 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 1: first round pick, first round pick. M Daniel Graham, what

2178
01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 1: year Lawrence Moroney. Yeah, that's that's right, the cool I

2179
01:58:08,560 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 1: remember that one. Yes, I remember that. That one's legit.

2180
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 1: Some of these other ones, though, have me thinking that,

2181
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 1: like he said, they were documented. Yeah, so maybe maybe

2182
01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:19,800
Speaker 1: in a story somebody referred to them once like a

2183
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 1: like a teammate may have referred to him once. But

2184
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:24,720
Speaker 1: that's oh yeah, different than a nickname. A nickname is

2185
01:58:24,760 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 1: something like people call you all the time. Is that

2186
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:29,600
Speaker 1: like if you know, we could do high for high

2187
01:58:29,640 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 1: Tower because Bill says high in the press conference all

2188
01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 1: the time. Yack, you know things like that. We didn't

2189
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:37,800
Speaker 1: talk about that. By the way. Oh yeah, the Patriots

2190
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 1: will no longer have a fullback. According to Jacob Johnson,

2191
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:42,360
Speaker 1: he's not back because the Patriots don't plan to have

2192
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:47,720
Speaker 1: a fullback in their offense right more. At eleven. Yeah,

2193
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just thought it was interesting. Yeah, now

2194
01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 1: they got time Montgomery or maybe or maybe he was

2195
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:56,080
Speaker 1: pulling like a like a passer regress. Well, I guess

2196
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 1: they don't want to have a fullback in their offense anymore.

2197
01:58:57,760 --> 01:59:01,120
Speaker 1: They don't want said him in German or from rust.

2198
01:59:02,640 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 1: I think Jono Smith could see some time in that

2199
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:06,920
Speaker 1: kind of a role. Yeah, and we do have him

2200
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:10,680
Speaker 1: do something. It's maybe Dalton Keene can get on the field. Yeah.

2201
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna be it for this edition of

2202
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:19,120
Speaker 1: Patriots Unfiltered. We'll be back on Thursday with more talk
