Let Alex interject in between. 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 2: But I'm gonna say three nice things about this offense 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: right now. So get off my back, all right. Get 36 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: this is positive, positive energy only, and I'm being one 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: hundred sense sincere, you ready go for it. 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see how since here you can really 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: be here. 40 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: Number One, I loved what I saw from Bill O'Brien 41 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: in this game. Thought Bill O'Brien had a great script. 42 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: I thought he had great call sheet called good plays 43 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: in this game. I think a big reason why the 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: offensive line that was completely overmatched and overwhelmed in this game. 45 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: Despite some narrative I said, it's gonna be positive something, 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: all right, and here we go, I can't even do it, okay, 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: despite the mismatch between the offensive line and the defensive line, 48 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: I thought a big reason in this game why it 49 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: didn't take over the game for Philadelphia is because of 50 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: how O'Brien called the game. Yeah, and I understand that 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: some people get annoyed by the thirteen screens and all 52 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, but it had to be it 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: had to be done. It had to be done. In 54 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: this game, I thought that they at least changed it 55 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: up enough with the screens that there was some different 56 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: ones that thrown in there, and then they finally sprung 57 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: the one for Romandra in the fourth quarter. The bunch 58 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: formations were excellent. And I think that this is something 59 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: that I really love about O'Brien, and he's talked about 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 2: this in some of the coaching clinics that he's done. 61 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: One of the things I really love about him is 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: that when he finds something that works against a defense, 63 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: he's not afraid to just keep pressing the button. A 64 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: lot of offensive coordinators and we're going to maybe talk 65 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: about one here later on in the show that I 66 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: a play caller, I guess I should say later on 67 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: in the show, think that every single play needs to 68 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: be unique and different, and like they want to win. 69 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: They're trying to win every single play, right And I'm 70 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: not saying O'Brien's not, but like you understand what I'm saying, 71 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: Like everything is different, window dressing, different design, YadA, YadA YadA. 72 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: Bill O'Brien figured out that the Eagles were having difficulties 73 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: with the bunch formations, especially those tight bunches. That what 74 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: we saw in Kendrick Bourne's touchdown, the throw to Mario 75 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: Douglas on the sideline on the corner route, and he 76 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: just kept pressing the but and he just kept hitting 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: the play, hitting it, hitting it, and until you stop it, 78 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let you off the hook by going 79 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: to different things. Really enjoyed that with Bill O'Brien, thought 80 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: that he called the game well in terms of managing 81 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: the offensive line and managing the situation of the game. 82 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: And I thought he had Mac buttoned up in terms 83 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: of his decision making and where his eyes were going, 84 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: and like things like that. So overall made in voyage 85 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: of Bill O'Brien in the regular season, I give him 86 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: an A minus an a minus. The only knock that 87 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: I had on this plan out of everything, I wish 88 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: there was a little bit more motion. I wanted them 89 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: to kind of stress the Eagles the same way Kansas 90 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: City did in the Super Bowl by using motion. Maybe 91 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: a little bit more motion, a little bit more downfield RPO. 92 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: You know, I love both those things. That might be 93 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: the next iteration, but in terms of what we saw 94 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: in Week one, really enjoyed this game script from Bill 95 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: O'Brien and I thought he called a good game. 96 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: I thought he did too. Again, you talk about this, 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: this is everything I've been yelling for the offense to 98 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: be for two years, right it? Remember last year is 99 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: that we were talking about, No, the strength and in 100 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: this wide receiver group is the depth. It's not the 101 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: top of the depth chart. And they shouldn't have anybody 102 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: that really plays over an overwhelming amount and mix and 103 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: match the combinations, put them in different formations. Last year 104 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: was the same three guys in like two or three 105 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: formations and that was it. And that first drive. I 106 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: mean they're subbing in and out like this and like that, 107 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: and they're in bunch and they're five wide and they 108 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: were in i think three at one point, depending on 109 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: how you want to qualify time Montgomery, and I mean 110 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: he got weird in a good way, uh throughout the game. 111 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: So I really liked what I had, what I was 112 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: off O'Brien. The one nitpick I had was on the 113 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: play before the final play, the kaishaon booty fourth down. 114 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: The screen on third and thirteen felt very McDaniel's ish 115 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: to me. 116 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: It was tough. I under the defensive line of the 117 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: Eagles made a great play on it. 118 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: So but that's the thing, like I understand the defense 119 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: of that, Like, hey, they knew it was four down territory. 120 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: They wanted to try it. They weren't trying to get 121 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: it all once. They're trying to get to like at 122 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: least a fourth and six, fourth and seven. But against 123 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: that defensive front, with the way the screens were working 124 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: in the game, I know Wheremandre hit one big one, 125 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: but outside of that, I didn't think they're having a 126 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: ton of success on it. I'm not against the philosophy, 127 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: like they didn't need to pick up the thirteen yards 128 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: on third and thirteen. I'm not against that, but was 129 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: there a was there a better way to get six 130 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: or seven yards than throwing the ball into the backfield 131 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: in that situation. That was my one nit pick. Besides that, 132 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: I thought the offensive game plan was awesome this week. 133 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: I really liked what they did, especially given the circumstances 134 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: of who they had available and who they were facing. 135 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, the screen I watched back those those final two 136 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: drives this morning just to make sure I had it 137 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: right in my head, and the screen was. It was 138 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: set up to hit because they the Eagles were in 139 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 2: a too high safety shell. There was not a whole 140 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: lot of players in the box. I think there was 141 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: only one off ball linebacker on the play, and one 142 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: of our guys, Jordan Davis, made just a ridiculous play 143 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: to come off his rush and really force Remandre to cut. 144 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: If Remondre doesn't have to take that extra jump cut 145 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: to get around Jordan Davis, then he just goes right 146 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: up the field, up the gut off of David Andrews's 147 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: block and gets probably eight nine yards before the safeties 148 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: come down and crash on him. But Jordan Davis made 149 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: a fantastic play on that. But I understand that you 150 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: wanted them to be a little bit more aggressive there, 151 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: and I don't fault you for it. But overall, I 152 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: thought O'Brien was great. I did want to like talk 153 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: a little bit more about the bunches and the stacks 154 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: that they were using. I just love this part of 155 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: Bill O'Brien's playbook. I think it puts the defense in 156 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: such a mind pretzel trying to cover these types of 157 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: routes because what the Patriots will do with the route 158 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: a lot of the times, there'll be an option on 159 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: one of the three routes side of the bunch that 160 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: is just breaking off of leverage. So for example, on 161 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: the Tomrio Douglas throw on the corner route, this is 162 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: just I don't know for a fact, but I'm just 163 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: like guessing Tomroo Doug I believe has a post corner 164 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: like he can break onto the post or it can 165 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: break on the corner, depending on how the defensive back 166 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: plays it. Right, the defensive back sits inside, he's going 167 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: to break the corner. If he sits outside, he's going 168 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: to break the post. And a I just think that 169 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: that's such a mind f like, you know, if you're 170 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: the defensive back, like you're trying to pick him up 171 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: out of the bunch formation. Now he's got this two 172 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: way option, there's all sorts of space. He really can't 173 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: jam him because he's in the bunch to begin with, 174 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: so you can't get hands on early, and he just 175 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: has all this freedom to just then go ahead and 176 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: make a move and get open. And the other thing 177 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: I liked about that play in particular too, is that 178 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: the Mario made the the right read, ran the right 179 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: ran the right route. So I was really impressed with 180 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 2: the bunches, the stacks, you know, they run a lot 181 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: of that two lane you know, to option routes. One 182 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: at twelve yards, one at six yards. That worked like 183 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: multiple times. It worked on a on a Kendrick Born 184 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: throw for about eighteen yards, you know, Kendrick cott the 185 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: underneath option and then turned it upfield and ran for 186 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 2: about fourteen yards after the catch, and worked on fourth 187 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: down to Hunter Henry even though you had to one 188 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: hand and catch it, the concept itself worked and got 189 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: them open. So I thought that a lot of that 190 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: was really good. I think you'll continue to see a 191 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: lot of that moving forward. It's just fun to watch those, 192 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: like to break them down and to see them the 193 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: spacing and the sequencing of it together, and the different 194 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: options that they have off those bunch formations, a lot 195 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: of different things you can do with them. So I 196 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: was really impressed with that. So there's one positive. I 197 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: did it. That was all positive. Right, you brought up 198 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 2: the screen. 199 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: No, you brought up something before that. 200 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, set, Yeah, but I reset, I reset, you know, 201 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: we kill kill right, reset, We did it again. Number two. 202 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: In this game, I have said a lot of negative 203 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: things about Mac Jones. I will own that. Gonna give 204 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: them a positive in this I thought that Mac Jones 205 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: as well as Bill O'Brien did a really really good 206 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 2: job of managing the rush in this game. Two point 207 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: three eight time to throw on average, which is very 208 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: very fast. Now, a lot of that's quick game screen, 209 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: I get that, but that's all part of it, right, 210 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: that's running all those things is all part of it. 211 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: And I thought he did a really good job of 212 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 2: getting the ball out. 213 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 214 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: I thought he did a really good job of managing 215 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: the rush in the pocket, you know, maneuvering, making little subtle, 216 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: those subtle movements we talk about all the time. That 217 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: didn't seem like he has had that innate miss last year. 218 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 2: He handled pressure well for the most part. Yeah, and 219 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: he was able to for. 220 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: What it was against that rush with the offensive line 221 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: he had, he handled pressure well in this game. 222 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. And I think which was. 223 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: The biggest question coming into the season with him. 224 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, I thought that there was a lot of 225 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: the reason why I said earlier, and I know I 226 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 2: said no negativity, but the reason why I said earlier 227 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: that the offensive line performance was really not that good 228 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 2: despite what we've heard about, you know, not giving up 229 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: a sack until the fourth quarter. 230 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm actually kind of with you on that one. 231 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: But the offensive line performance was not that good because 232 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: a lot of guys were giving up hurries, but they 233 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: were hurries and not hits or sacks right because of Mac, 234 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 2: And I give Mac a lot of credit. 235 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: It was that Mac was his own best pass protector 236 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: in this game. And he said how many times we 237 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: say that this offseason, that's who Mac's gonna need to 238 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: be in twenty twenty three, And I thought he absolutely 239 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: was his own best pass We'll get to the offensive 240 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: line I'm with you on that one. I think for 241 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: what it was, it was fine. Yeah, but there's some 242 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: really heavy qualifiers that come with that that just are 243 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: applicable to this one specific game. 244 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. And lastly, just on Mac with the pressure, I 245 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: thought he did a really good job of controlling the 246 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: depth of his drops in this game, which is an underrated, 247 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: sneaky thing. 248 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: I mean, how many times did we see him last 249 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: year when he got pressured where he double back and 250 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: he'd start twisting around like I don't think did he 251 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: do that once in this game? 252 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: And he did a great job. I thought he was 253 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: really dropping for the most part. So the rule of 254 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 2: thumb is that you want to get the rusher on 255 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: we're talking about edge rushers now, you want to get 256 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,359 Speaker 2: edge rushers ten yards past the quarterback ten yards. Yeah, 257 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: if it's eleven yards in the quarterback gets sacked, then 258 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: that's on the quarterback. The quarterback's got to step up 259 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: in the pocket. Now, if there's interior press, like I get, 260 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: there's other factors. But the point is is that if 261 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: you're a tackle, your job is to block the edge 262 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: rusher ten yards past the quarterback. I cannot tell you 263 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: how many times in this game, Mac was dropping to 264 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: like seven or eight yards on purpose because he knew 265 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: that Calvin Anderson was probably gonna be a little shaky 266 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: over there in his first game. And they did a 267 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: really good job at controlling the depth of the pocket, 268 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: really really good job. And he threw made some throws 269 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: while under pressure, most notably the kender Born drop. Unfortunately, 270 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: but that throw is a great throw. Well, it was 271 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: some pressure in his face, Seemer. There was a lot 272 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: of a lot of positivity about Mac Jones. All right, 273 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: I said a lot of positive things. 274 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: It was the insistence to not acknowledge any of this 275 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: earlier in the week and not a breakdown that was puzzling. 276 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: A lot of positive things about your quarterback. 277 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: So where was this on Tuesday? 278 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: We'll get the tuesday anyways. Is that enough gushing about 279 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 2: the quarterback? Said three things? Yes? 280 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Oh about the Yeah, all right, yeah, last one. 281 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: Round of applause to the captain David Andrews. Great game 282 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 2: by David Andrews. I thought David Andrews played one of 283 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: his better games I've seen him play in a while, 284 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 2: not only blocking like snap to snap individually, but I 285 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: give he was helping those rookie guards out a ton 286 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: pre snap and he did a great job in this 287 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 2: game with a ton of chaos around him and two 288 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: guards that were getting beat like a drum on both 289 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: sides of him. And David Andrews. I said, no, dang it, 290 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: but still David Andrews. David Andrews, great, great game from him. 291 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: I hope that the hamstring's okay. I think it will be. 292 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 2: He's a tough guy, he'll play through it. But I 293 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: really was impressed by by Da. He was great in 294 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: this game. 295 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: I nothing about the Jamario Douglas or Kendrick Bourne makes 296 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 1: it into your positives. Not yet, Oh come on, not yet, 297 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: not yet. We're not gonna talk about it yet on 298 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: the show. Or not yet. You're not willing to compliment 299 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: either of them. 300 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: But I didn't say I'm not ready to compliment any 301 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: of them. Don't know, you don't get all crazy. I 302 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: just said that, like, we'll talk about it, we'll get 303 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 2: to it. Yeah, but these are my three like gold stars, okay, Like. 304 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: I look, you watched the line closer than me, so 305 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: I'll give you the Andrews one for me. Like one 306 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: of my biggest takeaways coming away from this game is 307 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: just Kendrick Bourne. All the stuff we talked about, you know, 308 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: can he take off this year? Can he have that 309 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: remember that we were talking about, like to break out 310 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: year in year seven? Yeah, kind of like an abstract. 311 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything fugazi about what he did 312 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: in this game. He's back. And this is why last 313 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: year I was red in the face saying it's malpractice. 314 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: They're not putting this guy on the field because he 315 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: can change the game. He can change the game. And 316 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: I thought he showed in this game why he makes 317 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: that and he and this is all with him having 318 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: a bad drop. I'm not gonna say he was. He 319 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: should have caught that ball on that third down late 320 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: in the game. That's probably Max's best throw. But there 321 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: were other things as well that cost him the game. 322 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't just that. And I thought Bourne was excellent 323 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: in this game. 324 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: I agree with you that I agree with you that 325 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: one hundred and ten percent about last year with Kendrick Bourne. 326 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred and ten percent this 327 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: year that Kendrick Borne needs to be on the field. 328 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: And it Yeah, we said before the season started. I 329 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: think both of us were in lockstep on this on 330 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: one of the previous shows on Catch twenty two that 331 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: we felt like Bourne should be the most targeted receiver 332 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: in the Patriots offense, and nothing that I saw on 333 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: Sunday deters me from that point. I will say he 334 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: has some route running miscues on film that I think, 335 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: in the coach's eyes, probably hold him back a little 336 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 2: bit from being the guy that we all want him 337 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: to be. But at the same time, I'm not sure 338 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 2: for this particular football team that that can matter. Like, 339 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: so I would if you want to run guy right, 340 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: because like, if he runs like I think maybe in 341 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: this game he had two or three routes, I would 342 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: say probably two. I think the third one would be 343 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: a nitpick. I'd say there's probably two routes where I 344 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: thought that he ran the route incorrectly, But that doesn't 345 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: wipe out all the routes that he ran great right like, 346 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: and he runs too many good routes to take him. 347 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: Off, And I would just say that was a massive nitpick. Again, 348 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: you're being positive, but great shot with it. No, but 349 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: I would like that it goes back to something we talked 350 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: about the soft steins. If they wanted that guy DeAndre 351 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: Hopkins was available. Yeah, Jerry Judy was real. I mean, 352 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: now you're talking about a top twenty receiver, right if 353 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: the biggest knock on the guys two routes he ran 354 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: over the course of the game, and that's why you 355 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: can't feature him. Can then in the drop, but like 356 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: then you needed to go get Like he's as good 357 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: as they have and he's pretty good. But if you're 358 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: expecting elevation they they clearly felt based off what they 359 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: did in the offseason, I would argue that they don't 360 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: need a receiver better than what Kendrick Bourne did on Sunday. 361 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I again, I I his miscues are not 362 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: big enough for me to take him off the field 363 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: by any stretch of the imagination, because of how good 364 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: the good plays are with him. But at the end 365 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: of the day, the couple running miscues that he had 366 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: did hurt them, and then obviously the job hurts them. Yeah, 367 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: and that's just I'm with you, that's the difference between But. 368 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: That's not even like I don't want to say it's 369 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: not his fault, but like, that's not he gave you 370 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: as much as you can realistically expect him to give. 371 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: I agree if you want more. That's about the players 372 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: they have. I'm just simply telling you why I didn't 373 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 2: give him a gold star. 374 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: Okay, that's it. 375 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 2: So those are my three gold stars. Bill O'Brien, mac 376 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 2: under pressure, maneuvering pressure, managing pressure, and uh and and 377 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: David Andrews, who I thought was great in this game. 378 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: You mentioned Damario Douglas. I am buying all the to 379 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 2: Mario Douglas stock. I want Damario Douglas on the field 380 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 2: as much as possible. I think that he is the 381 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 2: one guy that is dynamic in this offense besides maybe 382 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: Kendrick that can get open, that can run with the 383 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 2: football a little bit. I am clamoring, clamoring to see 384 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 2: him with the football in his hands with some space. 385 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: Yep. 386 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 2: They unfortunately couldn't get him loose in this game. They 387 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: were close on that throw that Jalen Carter made Max Sale, 388 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 2: But I think that if they can get him in 389 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: those types of matchups. I really like the Mario Douglas 390 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: and how he ran the routes in this game. One 391 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: one conversion that he didn't run properly, but it's a 392 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: rookie in his first game. I'm not gonna and I'm 393 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: sure there's many more that the coaches know about the DIDO, 394 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: but like, you know whatever, I just similar to Kendrick Bourne. Yeah, 395 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: he's gonna have some mistakes, he's gonna have some growing 396 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: pains as a young player, but he's too good to 397 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 2: not play him a lot. 398 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, their three bet went once they get healthy. I 399 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear at this point. There's been some 400 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: reporting to this points as well. When they're an eleven, Yeah, 401 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: Parker Bourne Pop Pop. That's that's And I know people 402 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: want to knock Kashan Booty in this game too, Like 403 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't take him off the field. 404 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 2: I didn't love Kashan Booty in this game. 405 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: I didn't love him, but I didn't like he belonged. 406 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: If that makes sense, I don't know. I mean he 407 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: doesn't need a true red shirt, like. 408 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: He's No, I don't think he needs a true red shirt. 409 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: But just to get back to we can get into 410 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: Kashan buy because later, because I feel like that changes 411 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: the conversation. But the point being like, when you're an eleven, 412 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: Parker Bourne Pop, that's got to be the group right now, 413 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: Like those are the three best receivers. And I don't 414 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: know that it's close. 415 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 2: I don't think it is. And I also would just 416 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: say that I like how those three compliment each other. 417 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: Oh, you have a really wide range of skill sets there, 418 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: and no, I think it beyond. That's part of why 419 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: I like it. I think that group elevates, they all 420 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: elevate each other again because of that diverse the diversity 421 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: of skill sets within there. 422 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like Douglass in this game. I did. 423 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: So those are my three positives, and we started the 424 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 2: show there. We're going to open up the phone lines 425 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: here in a second, eight five to five, pats five hundred. 426 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: It is the phone number. Got three people on hold already. 427 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 2: We're gonna get to you and just a second, I promise. 428 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 2: I think the one thing I do want to say 429 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: about you know what I said on Tuesday about Mac 430 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 2: and and just I don't want to beat a dead horse. 431 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: I've already talked about Mac and my my critiques about 432 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: Mac enough, but people that just listen to this show, 433 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 2: I want them to understand where I'm coming from as well. Right, Yeah, 434 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: and uh, I think the biggest thing with Mac is 435 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: I want to say two things. One, Uh, I want 436 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: Mac Jones to be great. I really do, and I 437 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: think that people now, uh, maybe a little bit more 438 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 2: publicly than I would like. Yeah, I know that I 439 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: love Mac, Like, Mack's a great guy, and I enjoy 440 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: covering him, and I enjoyed the conversations that I've had 441 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 2: with him. I'm not we're not friends, Like, I'm not 442 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 2: saying any of that. I'm just saying like I enjoy 443 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: interacting with Mac. With that being said, where my frustration 444 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: comes from with Mac is I truly do want him 445 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 2: to be great. But for him to be great, he's 446 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: the little details of the quarterback position, the nuances that 447 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: you get from studying film over and over and again. 448 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: He has to dominate that, Like, he has to be 449 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: really really good at that because he's not going to 450 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 2: change dramatically from a physical standpoint. So if he's gonna 451 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: be great, then he has to have clean footwork. He 452 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: has to throw from a solid base, he has to 453 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 2: make good decisions with the football, he has to throw 454 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: on time, Like these are the things that he has 455 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 2: to do to play with his margins. And my frustration 456 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 2: comes from when I watch the film and I'm like, 457 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: you're not controlling the controllabulls Mac. You got to be 458 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 2: able to control the things you can control. He can't 459 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 2: control the fact that he's not Lamar Jackson, and he 460 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 2: can't control the fact that he doesn't have it. People 461 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 2: get mad when I bring up Josh Allen that he 462 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: can't control the fact that he doesn't have an army. 463 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: Can control the he doesn't turn the ball or four times. 464 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: That's why people get mad. He can't control the fact 465 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: that he doesn't have an arm like justin Herbert. He 466 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 2: can't control that. But what he can control is his 467 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: own individual process and over the course of a game. 468 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: So my frustrations with him come because I'm like, I 469 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 2: want you to be good, dude, but like you're these 470 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 2: are the things you're missing right now. And I think 471 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: the main thing from this game that I was concerned with, 472 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 2: and I'm willing to give him the caveat in the 473 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 2: and within that caveat give him the time for the 474 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: offensive line to get healthy, is that his footwork being 475 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: off in this game for large stretches might have been 476 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: related to the fact that he was not being protected well. 477 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: So the other thing I would say to that, because 478 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: he his footwork was good as a rookie it's not 479 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: totally new. He this goes back and I know people 480 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: are gonna roll their eyes and see me pointing a 481 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: finger at Matt patric again. But last year, do you 482 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: think he had a coach that when they in and 483 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: broke down the film could get to that level with him? 484 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: No work on that and I and so, yeah. 485 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: Like I wonder, Look, obviously we all would love to 486 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 2: be a fly on the wall in any of those meetings, 487 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 2: but I really wonder what the coaches feel about it, 488 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 2: because the bottom line is is this is where my 489 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 2: concern came on Tuesday, is that when he doesn't throw 490 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: from a solid base, he doesn't throw at a ton 491 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: of all. 492 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: And look, I'm sure he knows that, and I'm sure 493 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: the coaches know that. And it's not like they just 494 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: got out here, right, they had camp and all of that, 495 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: But a game environment changes things. Like he was I 496 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: thought during camp he was doing a good job of 497 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: setting the feet and all that, right, And you I 498 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: think you agree with me on that. Yeah, I don't 499 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: know that there was somebody that was going to go 500 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: to him in last year, last year and say, hey, 501 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: this is kind of a mess. Yeah, And I think 502 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: he developed some bad habits, and I think when you're 503 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: down two starting guards, maybe someone last year started creeping 504 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: in the back of his head like I'm going to 505 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: take a beating today. We all thought that in the 506 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: press box. We were talking about like, he's not going 507 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: to make it through this game. Yeah, with two rookie 508 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: guards against his defensive line. Yeah, Like you mentioned, Bill 509 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 1: O'Brien did a great job kind of helped him out, 510 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: and he did a fantastic job himself of keeping himself clean. 511 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: But I think that was part of it. I think 512 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: there's a lot he's thinking about in this game, specifically 513 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: beyond mechanics. I look at it and say, all right, yeah, look, 514 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: I thought Mac was better than you're giving him credit 515 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: for in this game. I think if that's Mac Jones' 516 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: worst performance of the year, this team's making the playoffs. 517 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: I'll say that right now. Or if Mac Jones playing 518 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: that way to that level is their biggest problem, and 519 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: they have no bigger problems than Mac Jones performing like 520 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: he did on Sunday, when again he threw for three 521 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: hundred yards and three touchdowns against the top ten defense 522 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: in the league. If that's their biggest problem, they're gonna 523 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: make the playoffs and that's good. Now maybe it's not. 524 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Maybe it gets worse. Can the coaching staff fix those 525 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: little things that you're talking about, and can him and 526 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien get in the lab and basically does he 527 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: go in there? He was hard on himself after the game, 528 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: so I think he knows what you're saying. Yeah, can 529 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: they go in the room and say we need to 530 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: fix A, B and C and then come out on 531 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: Sunday night and A, B and C are fixed? And 532 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: this to me, when it relate, whether it relates to Mac, 533 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: whether it relates to the the offense, whether it relate 534 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: to some of the coaching decisions, this is the great Uh. 535 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: This game was weird in terms of having to sit 536 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: up there and evaluate it. I wrote like three different 537 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: columns because I didn't like them, and I kept having 538 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: to scrap them because I think this feels people are 539 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: gonna hear this as a fence sitting take. I will no, 540 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not. There wasn't because the Patriots 541 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: played such a polarized game. Whatever your preconceived notion was 542 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: about the team going into that game, you have something 543 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: to point to and say it was true. If you 544 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: want to sit here and say, hey, Bill O'Brien's here, 545 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: the offense looked different. They moved the ball against this 546 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: good defense at times, and hey, it's the you know, 547 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: defending NFC champion. It wasn't gonna be perfect. I think 548 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: that's a perfectly valid take. And you could sit here 549 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: and say the issues they had, and I believe this, 550 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: the issues they had, while similar to the issues they 551 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: had last year, the problem last year wasn't that they 552 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 1: were making those issues in September. A lot of teams 553 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: make similar mistakes to the ones they made in September. 554 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: The problem was they were still making them in December. 555 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: They never got fixed. And that was the case last year. 556 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: It was the case the year before that, it was 557 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: the case the year before that. So you're absolutely allowed 558 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: to sit here and say I saw a lot from 559 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: that game that I liked. I saw a lot that 560 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: looks like progress. Yeah, it wasn't perfect, but to go 561 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: toe to toe with the defending NFC champion in Week 562 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: one and have time to build on that with the 563 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: new coaching staff, I'm encouraged. At the same time, I 564 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: do think it's fair to say yes, but we felt 565 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: encouraged in twenty twenty early in the season. We felt 566 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: encouraged in twenty twenty one early in the season. Even 567 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: last year early on, there were some moments where we 568 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 1: were like, Okay, here we go, let's see and then 569 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: So it's not a moral victory thing though, No, it's 570 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: a benefit of the doubt thing in a bubble. Listen, 571 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: just let me finish it. Let me finish in a bubble. 572 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm young team, third year quarterback coming off a year 573 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs, goes toe to toe with the 574 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: defending NFC champion. I think a lot of with making 575 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: mistakes that are pretty textbook to make early in the year. 576 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams you would look at 577 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: that and a lot of circumstances and say, there's something 578 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: to build on here. It's not a moral victory. Think 579 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily feel great about it, but it's when 580 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: we're projecting out over the course of a seventeen game season, 581 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: if the things that usually get fixed across the league 582 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: by teams get fixed, they'll be in a good spot. 583 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: I think that's an absolutely fair evaluation of this game. 584 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: But you can also bring in the caveat that we 585 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: felt that way about this team in twenty twenty and 586 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: they never made the fixes they needed to make. We 587 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: felt this way about the team in twenty twenty one, 588 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: and they never made the fixes they needed to make. Obviously, 589 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: last year they never made the fixes they needed to make. 590 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: So our Bill and O'Brien and Adrian Clem that much 591 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: better that Obviously they're better than Patricia. But like the 592 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: McDaniel statts in twenty and twenty one, are are Patricia? 593 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: Are mcdan the third try? Are O'Brien and Clem? 594 00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: Yes worth? 595 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: The best benefit of the doubt that not only can 596 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: you look at it and say they are going to 597 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: fix these things, but say they are going to fix 598 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: these things that they haven't been able to fix in 599 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: each of the last three years. That's essentially the question 600 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: me coming away from this game. Are you taking the 601 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: cheese on it? Are you going to after what we've 602 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: been through the last three years of them falling apart 603 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: November and December? Are you still willing to look at 604 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: this and say it'll look better by Thanksgiving, it'll look 605 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: better by Christmas than it does now. 606 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 2: That's a fair take. I don't disagree with a lot 607 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 2: of that I think where my bigger concern came from. 608 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: I guess from this game. Because I can nitpick mac 609 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: Jones all day long, I'm not going to do it. 610 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: You know. There's little things with his footwork that I 611 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: didn't like, especially throwing the ball to his right. I 612 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 2: thought that throwing to the ball to the right sideline, 613 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: the ball died on the mall game long, and that 614 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: it was footwork related to me. Like I think because 615 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: for him, and like I said earlier, like he needs 616 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 2: to have a solid base and solid footwork for him 617 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: to generate velocity. He can't generate a velocity of platform. Yeah, 618 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: so he has to have a solid platform to throw from. 619 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 2: So I think that that's where a lot of my 620 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: concerns came from. The other concern that I had in 621 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: this game was, like you said, coming into the year, 622 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: confirming a prior, and my prior was now when the 623 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 2: chips were down and it was the fourth quarter, and 624 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: Bill O'Brien can only take you so far because it 625 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 2: ultimately comes down to the players on the field winning 626 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: a game for you. I did not think offensively, not offensively, 627 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 2: not just Mac Jones, the entire offense. I did not 628 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: think that they had enough talent to win those games. 629 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: So I guess this goes back to my point. I 630 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: think some people will just agree with you. Flat some 631 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: people will say, look, it was no secret that the 632 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: Eagles defense had more talent than they did on offense. 633 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how many teams in the league have 634 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: more talent on offense than the Eagles do on defense. 635 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: It's a very short list. Yeah, I think some people 636 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: look at that and say, this one they didn't win. 637 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: But more often than not, in that situation, Bill O'Brien 638 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: will be the difference that they will be able. And 639 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: you have the stat was it owen thirteen? 640 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: Right? Oh? And twelve in in uh twenty five plus 641 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 2: points games? No. 642 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: The other one the game leading drive on he has 643 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: one in thirty three, one and thirty three. 644 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: Okay. 645 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: I think some people look at it and say, Bill 646 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: O'Brien's gond increase that number in this one specific instance, 647 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: he didn't. Yeah, and it's against a very good defense. 648 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: But let's see them get in that situation against Miami. 649 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: Let's se him geting that situation against some of the 650 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: other teams on their schedule that aren't as good defensively 651 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: and it may not go from one to thirty three 652 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: to thirty three and one, but or thirty three for 653 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: thirty three or whatever. But like and it doesn't need 654 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: to it needs to be about five hundred. But so again, 655 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: is Bill O'Brien gonna fix it? There's another number. I 656 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: gotta find the stat I. 657 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: Just don't know if Bill O'Brien's enough. 658 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,479 Speaker 1: And that's where so and that's that's basically what the 659 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: question is. I think coming away from this game, it 660 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: was the first week Bill O'Brien had to work with them, 661 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: and there's I think you'd agree with me on this 662 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: any new coach. And we were actually arguing about how 663 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: much of a difference a new coach makes before the show, 664 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: So I know you're with me on this. Any new coach, 665 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: you need a game or two to really get things fixed, right, 666 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: So I think the argument is all right. Here we 667 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: are with this team again. It was promising, but it 668 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: definitely wasn't perfect. It was good but not good enough. 669 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: Is Bill O'Brien the guy to get them to good 670 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: enough from where they started on Sunday? 671 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: So I don't disagree with anything that. 672 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: You just let me make one more point on top 673 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,239 Speaker 1: of it. I think that the counter to that is 674 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: people talk about, you know, one one in the twenty 675 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: So this is the twenty five points thing, scoring more 676 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: when the opponent scores more than twenty five points. What 677 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: was the number again? Oh and twelve with mac Jones, 678 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: they are without Tom Brady three and twenty five. So 679 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: it's without Tom Brady or Randy Moss. Because of those 680 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: three wins, two of them happened in two thousand and eight. 681 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: They're one in twenty five, one in they won such 682 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: win basically without Tom Brady Randy Moss. Is it a 683 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: mac Jones problem or is it a because if it's 684 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: a mac Jones problem, maybe Bill Obriant can fix it. Yeah, 685 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: if it's a Bill Belichick problem, right, I don't know 686 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: how much it helps. 687 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 2: It's gonna give it, so that that's kind of where 688 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: I was headed with it. Yeah, when we say Bill 689 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 2: Belichick problem, we mean a roster construction problem. 690 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: Well, could be a roster construction problem or like a 691 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: game approach philosophy problem. 692 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 2: But I think the main thing is roster construction. Game Like, 693 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 2: I think they're both together when I say Bill is 694 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 2: trying to win the game. In my mind, twenty four 695 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 2: to twenty right, like he's trying to get he's trying 696 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: to build on defense to the point where you're not 697 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: going to score, right. 698 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: I think Bill might say points, Bill might say truth here, 699 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick here. If you allow twenty five points, 700 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: you've already lost that kind of thing exactly. 701 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 2: So to that point, the play that really put me 702 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 2: over the edge and led to a Tuesday's show and 703 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 2: all this this crap that I've taken. The play that 704 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 2: really put me over the edge was the fourth and 705 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 2: three play on the second to last drive of the 706 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 2: game for the Patriots, because on fourth and three they 707 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 2: I believe they emptied the backfield on it. It might 708 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 2: have been one back regardless, Mac and the gun, and 709 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: they have Juju in the left slot there. That's your guy, right, 710 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: like that's your big money offseason free agent edition. We'll 711 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 2: get it apparently, but that's supposed to be your guy, right. 712 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 2: And the initial read on the play is Juju on 713 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: an option route, run it and get open. He doesn't 714 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 2: have to break any particular way. He doesn't have to. 715 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: It's not a you know, a leverage read necessarily, it's 716 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 2: just make your guy miss, right, Just get open on 717 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: the route. So that's that's the guy you paid twelve 718 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 2: million dollars a year or two to get open on 719 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: this route. And the initial nitpick or not even a nitpick. 720 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: This was just a bad play for the team. The 721 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 2: initial hiccup is that Juju just doesn't get open. He 722 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 2: gets suffocated off the line of scrimmage and doesn't get open. 723 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 2: So at that point Mac has to come off his 724 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 2: first read and make something happen out of it. And 725 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 2: then there's pressure, right, So here's the second problem with 726 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 2: the play is the pressure. So MATC comes off the 727 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 2: first read, tries to get over to the other side 728 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 2: of the field to the second and now there's pressure 729 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 2: in his face, which you and I are both on 730 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 2: the record numerous times talking about the short fallings in 731 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 2: the offseason about offensive line personnel. Yeah, here you go, 732 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 2: your rear in your head, right, So your twelve dollars 733 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: million dollar receiver can't get open on a one on 734 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 2: one when you created a matchup for him out of 735 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 2: the slot on fourth and three to get four yards, 736 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: he can't get open. 737 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 3: Right. 738 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: Then your quarterback goes to move off of it correctly 739 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 2: and he can't get to the second read without there 740 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,479 Speaker 2: being three people in his face. Right, and Maac breaks 741 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 2: the pocket. Good job, right, gets out of the pocket, 742 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 2: gets out of the pressure. As he's rolling to his 743 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 2: right out of the pressure, Kendrick Bourne is streaking across 744 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: the field on a crosser and he's wide af open, 745 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 2: wide af open behind the linebacker. And this is not 746 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 2: one of those like Mahomes fifty yard right now, wrist 747 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 2: like eight or nine yards Dounfield's. It's a ten yard 748 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: throw maybe. And you can throw it with touch like 749 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: you can loft it like you don't. He doesn't even 750 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 2: need to drive it into any hole. He's not fitting 751 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 2: it into a window. 752 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 3: No. 753 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: All he's gotta do is layer it over the linebacker, 754 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 2: puts a mayror under it to let Kendrick Bouran run 755 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 2: underneath it, and just feather it over the linebacker. I 756 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 2: think I sent you the play. I'm sure you've watched 757 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 2: it on your own, Alex. I promise you that if 758 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 2: he makes that throw, it's a touchdown. 759 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: Yeah. 760 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 2: Kendrick Bournan is gonna run under it. There's nobody there 761 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 2: to stop him, and he's gonna score a touch on 762 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 2: the seat in the middle of the field. 763 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,919 Speaker 1: It was a misthrow. Again, I'm I think you're being 764 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: You've been too critical on Mac this week, But I'm 765 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: not gonna say he was perfect and that was a 766 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: missed opportunity. 767 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 2: So instead, what happens is is Mac kind of panics 768 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 2: frankly and takes a sack on the play instead of 769 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 2: making the throw. And those three boxes, to me, are 770 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 2: the Patriots in a nutshell right now. They don't have 771 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: a good enough receiver to win the one on one Juju, Yeah, 772 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: they don't have a good enough offensive line for the 773 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 2: quarterback to go through the progression. And then Mac Jones 774 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 2: is not a play creator. He's not a second reaction 775 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: extended play creator outside the pocket. And so if you 776 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 2: are xing off all three of those boxes all at 777 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 2: once in a critical moment, you're gonna get what happened 778 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 2: on Sun. 779 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: And just just for the record, you can work around 780 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 1: one of those things, the offensive line well, and any 781 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: of them, I'm saying, like you you can. 782 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 2: There is really tough. 783 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: You don't have to have all three. Basically, don't have 784 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: all three. 785 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 2: But if you don't have a money winner, like if 786 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 2: you don't have like a guy that when it is 787 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 2: an absolute need to have it down. If you don't 788 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 2: have a receiver that the quarterback can go to, it's hard. 789 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: No, But but this is what I'm saying, Like, if 790 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: you have one of those three things, you're in good shape. 791 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: I think if you have if you have two of 792 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: good three, you're you're you're pretty cooking, right. 793 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 2: But they don't have that. 794 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: They don't have. But that's my So I think you 795 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: say that, and I'm just like translating here and I'm 796 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 1: not disagreeing with you, but it's like you say that, 797 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: like they didn't check any of these three boxes. They 798 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 1: don't have anyse three things, and people like, oh no, 799 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,959 Speaker 1: blow it up, Like, yeah, you don't necessarily need all 800 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: of those threes exactly right, this is my point. 801 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 2: And so yes, this is exactly my point. So this 802 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 2: is my whole take on this, right, And this is 803 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 2: exactly my point. If you had a receiver, if you 804 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 2: handed aj Brown a Patriot jersey on Sunday and you 805 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 2: had a receiver that could win that route out of 806 00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 2: the slot, then you're golden. 807 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: Then right, then none of the other two things don't 808 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: come into into play. 809 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 2: Play. If you had an offensive line that allowed mac 810 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 2: John's to go through the progression. Then he hits Kendrick 811 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 2: Bourne from the pocket with a touchdown on the other 812 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 2: side of the field instead of having to move right. 813 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 2: If you had a quarterback that was a wizard when 814 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 2: the play breaks down, then you would have had another 815 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 2: touchdo right, right, But they struck out on all three. 816 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: So like and there were good teams Like I would say, 817 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs don't have all three of those things, No, 818 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: but they have Patrick, right, But that's the point. Or 819 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: the Niners don't have all three of those things. 820 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 2: They have two of three. They have the offensive line, 821 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 2: they have the receiver. 822 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, but some people would hear that and say, if 823 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 1: you don't have the quarterbacks to qualify, And that's just 824 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: the point of trying to prove, like there's ways to 825 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: make it work. And this is why we were pounding 826 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: the table for Jerry Judy, this is why we were 827 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 1: pounding the table for DeAndre Hopkins because we talked about 828 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: after those moves ev in this offseason, what was the plan. 829 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: The plan was they were banking on Bill O'Brien and 830 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: Adriene Klem to elevate the group they had rather than 831 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: add to it. But at the end of the day, 832 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: it's a spot where you need somebody to win. Rout 833 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: might not be able to get that. 834 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just that's what it is. 835 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: And and and let let me let me let me 836 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: say this, like O'Brien and Klement elevated that group on Sunday, Yeah, 837 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: they absolutely did. But it was just to the extent 838 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: that they were never gonna be able to do to 839 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: the extent which they need to because down two guards, 840 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: down the number one wide receiver. I know you're rolling right, Oh, 841 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: we're celebrating twenty points. Given the scenario, twenty points. You 842 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: told me they were going to put up three hundred 843 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 1: and eighty yards and twenty points in that scenario, I'd 844 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: say they did a pretty good job all things considered. 845 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they but they gave. They're not saying to 846 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 2: be happy about team the way I look at it, 847 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 2: and I know that this is probably not how you're 848 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 2: going to look at it. But to an extent, they 849 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 2: netted six points. 850 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: You you, you can't come away from that game and say, 851 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien did a badge. 852 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 2: Of I didn't say that I gave. But that's to 853 00:39:59,239 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 2: the point I'm. 854 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: Trying to That's the point I'm trying to make and 855 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 1: your you're putting my point is like I'm agreeing with you. 856 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: Ohbrian and Clem. The plan was for O Brian Clem 857 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 1: to elevate the group. They elevated the group on Sunday. 858 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 2: But that's the whole plan for the whole team. 859 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: But this is my point. I don't this is what 860 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think what you're saying is basically they 861 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: might not be able to elevate them to the point 862 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: that they need to. 863 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 2: Elevate them, not not in those big moments, right, And 864 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 2: I the the difference is and I so this is 865 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 2: this is my other mistake of why I came in 866 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 2: so hot. On Tuesday. After I watched the Patriots film 867 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 2: and did did my my uh after further review and 868 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,359 Speaker 2: all that stuff for the Patriots and got that out 869 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 2: of the way, I I turned on Chargers Dolphins and 870 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 2: I watched the Chargers Dolphins game, and in that particular 871 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 2: game to A played out of his mind. He was fantastic. 872 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: We played against a coach defense, but yeah. 873 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 2: He played out of his mind. He was really freaking good. 874 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert also really good. 875 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: I know that. 876 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 2: And so I watched two quarterbacks that right now might 877 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 2: be like top five, top ten quarterbacks in the league 878 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 2: after watching Mac and the Patriots offense. 879 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: And oh so this is just recency bias seven, that's all. 880 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: This is partially the what. And I'm telling you it's 881 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 2: not just the quarterback play. So I don't want people 882 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 2: to focus in on that either. It's not just the 883 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 2: quarterback play. But when I tell you that it looked 884 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 2: like the Miami offense was playing a different sport, I 885 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 2: really am not saying like it really was. Because the 886 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 2: Patriots offense needs to go ten plays on an eighty 887 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 2: r drive and like meticulate, matriculate down the field and 888 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff and not make any mistakes 889 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 2: to go backwards, to stay ahead of the chains and 890 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 2: beyond schedule and all. The Miami just like throws it 891 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 2: up to Tyreek and it's the touchdown, right, So. 892 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: Yes, but they don't have This is what's what's annoying 893 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: to me about your take. And by the way, they 894 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: don't need to do that. They went sixty three plays 895 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: in six yards for touchdown before they had plays a 896 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: good two minute. That was a great two minute trail. 897 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 2: I almost put that as a gold star, But I 898 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 2: just gave it to. 899 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: O'Brien, Okay, fair enough. I mean O'Brien played a big 900 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: part in it. They went They did that without calling 901 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: a time out, which is impressive. So you have proven 902 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: that Tyreek Hill is better than any receiver on the Patriots. 903 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: Congratulations on your hot take. 904 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. I'm just telling you that the execution, 905 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 2: the speed, the dynamic playmaking, like all that stuff from 906 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 2: the quarterback on out was just different in that game, 907 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 2: and that, as a Patriots fan, most importantly, is frustrating 908 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 2: because we've been talking about this for four years now, 909 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 2: really five, like going back to nineteen Brady's last year, 910 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 2: and it's the same story about the talent on the team. 911 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 2: I agree with you that they looked better. I agree 912 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 2: with you that Mac looked better. Everybody looked better on offense. 913 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 2: The coordinating was better, the play calling was better, the 914 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 2: play design was better, the quarterback was better. But at 915 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 2: the end of the day, they still have middling talent. 916 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 2: They just do. So you're right. I don't think they 917 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 2: need to change the quarterback to make it even to 918 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 2: get over the hump, if you want to call it that, 919 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: but they had to change something and now We're in 920 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 2: the season, so they're probably not going to make any 921 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 2: drastic changes to the roster. 922 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean, is there a change they could make at 923 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: this point that would I guess Mike Evans would be 924 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: the one. 925 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, if Mike Evans or like T Higgins comes available 926 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 2: or something like that. 927 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bengals are tracking a right. 928 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,439 Speaker 2: But let's I don't want to get too bogged down 929 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 2: all this as we already have, so let's open up 930 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 2: the phone lines and then I do want to talk 931 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 2: about the defense. We're going to talk about the Dolphins. 932 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 2: So let's turn the page here and uh, we'll see 933 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 2: what you guys have to say. Roger's in Wakefield. Roger, 934 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 2: if you're still there, I really appreciate you waiting on 935 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 2: hold this long. 936 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody. 937 00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 2: Be good. How are you? 938 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 4: Let's move on from this game. We had enough discussed 939 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 4: the back and will pell at the cross to building. 940 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 4: So I just have two comments. One is from the 941 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 4: Dolphins game, which I want your response. How the fazious 942 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 4: defense is going to handle the hall the whole motion 943 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 4: thing of Tyre Kim, How Jonathan Jones and the other 944 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 4: cornerbacks who will be trying to cover him tackle that 945 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 4: And the second one is what I felt is they 946 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 4: they played a lot of bookies in the game greats 947 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 4: except one troop. He played only ten steps. 948 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 5: That is market. 949 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 4: I think they kept him safe. That's what I think. 950 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 4: I want your take. 951 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 2: So you think, what was it on Marty Mapu? Sorry, 952 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 2: I I think they were hiding him for this game. 953 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 4: They are not unleashing him in that game. They just 954 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 4: want to be use his powers in this game, his 955 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 4: speed or something like that. That's what I think. 956 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 2: Got it, got it. Thanks for the Colorajer, you really 957 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 2: appreciate it. And we'll we'll we'll answer that question. Do 958 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 2: you think they were hiding Mark. I don't know if 959 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 2: they were hiding him. 960 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 1: I think he said for this game, like why they 961 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: didn't see him in the in the summer. I mean 962 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 1: he was hurt as part of it. 963 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 964 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 1: I don't think they hit him in this game. I 965 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,760 Speaker 1: mean you saw him spying Jalen Hurts, he was covering 966 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: a J. Brown down the field. He was everywhere. 967 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean only played like ten snaps. 968 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he played some high impact snaps. He did like 969 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 1: the assignments they gave him time. 970 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 2: My guess is that the way that they view So 971 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 2: Christian Zal is gonna playe hundred percent of snaps every 972 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 2: week right like he's he's out there, he's first round pick. 973 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 2: He's going to play all the time. I think with 974 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 2: Kean Whiten and Marte Maphu to not put like too 975 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 2: much on their plate right out of the gate. My 976 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 2: guess is the plan, like you kind of just alluded to, 977 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 2: is to pick and choose your high impact spots with 978 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 2: those guys. I thought Mapu was fine. I mean I 979 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 2: there was one rep that I really really liked from him. Obviously, 980 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 2: the post safety rep was was nice with Gonzalez on 981 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 2: the post, but he had the post corner route to 982 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 2: a J. Brown that was good. But there was a 983 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,279 Speaker 2: play and this was a this was an issue for them, 984 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 2: uh in terms of picking up the crosser from this 985 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 2: passing strength going to the weak side of the field 986 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 2: and uh, Marty mop who was in the week cook 987 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 2: and and he actually turned and picked up the crosser 988 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 2: for the first guy that did it right like you 989 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,280 Speaker 2: know Bentley I thought missed one. I think it was Bentley. 990 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 6: Uh. 991 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 2: And then somebody that was playing in the slab I 992 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: don't remember who it was somebody that was playing in 993 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 2: the slot, miss miss Dallas Goddard on that post corner 994 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 2: route and he was wide open if if Jalen Hurts 995 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 2: had thrown had thrown the crosser, and I thought Marty 996 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: mop who did a really nice job of taking that away. 997 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 2: So maybe it was something they came to the sideline 998 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 2: and they said, hey, guys, we gotta we gotta clean 999 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 2: this up, and and he was able to be on it. 1000 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 2: I don't know, But do I think they were hiding 1001 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 2: him No. I think that they are easing him in 1002 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,919 Speaker 2: is a better way of putting it. I don't think 1003 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 2: that they feel like he's fully ready to play as 1004 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 2: much as like Gonzalez played, for example. 1005 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. 1006 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's take this file from Todd. What's up Todd? 1007 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 3: Hey, guys. So, I think the difference between McDaniel's offense 1008 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 3: when you know Mack was in it, and then. 1009 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 5: Of course last year's debacle is. 1010 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 3: That Bill O'Brien can actually game plan and just develop 1011 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 3: an offense based around mac talents. I don't think McDaniels 1012 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 3: did that. I think he's you know, might have changed 1013 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 3: his opens a little bit, but it's still McDaniel's offense. 1014 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 3: He wants you to run it. The same thing is 1015 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 3: happening at the Raiders is like, you run my offense. 1016 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 3: That's why you know last year there was quarterback controversy 1017 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,959 Speaker 3: because you know, it wasn't wasn't as a round peg 1018 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 3: in a square hole, vice versa whichever. And I think 1019 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 3: that maybe, just maybe, you know, as a league, as 1020 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 3: the year progresses, we're going to see something from Max 1021 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 3: that you know, this is the year, This is the 1022 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 3: year when he gets a chance, because this should be 1023 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 3: his offense and designed around him. So I think this 1024 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 3: is a make or break here. In all honesty, I 1025 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 3: don't see him coming out of this year with either 1026 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 3: being successful or gone. I can't see any other thing. 1027 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 3: I don't see him continuing. If he's not successful, he's 1028 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,359 Speaker 3: done because this offense is his. What do you guys 1029 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 3: think safe? 1030 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? Great, great call to great call because I couldn't 1031 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 2: agree more about the difference between O'Brien and McDaniels, because 1032 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 2: this is something Alex said, I don't necessarily want it 1033 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 2: to be. You know, I love Josh McDaniels. I'm a 1034 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 2: big McDaniels guy, but I agree with Todd one hundred 1035 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 2: and fifty percent that McDaniels is McDaniels. McDaniels runs his 1036 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,920 Speaker 2: offense to the point where, frankly, other than like the 1037 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 2: read option stuff that they put in for Cam Newton, 1038 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 2: they were asking Cam Newton to like do Tom Brady thing. 1039 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 2: Yeah in twenty twenty, Like, they didn't change the passing 1040 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 2: concepts of that offense a whole lot for Cam Newton. 1041 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 2: So I agree one hundred and ten percent that McDaniels 1042 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 2: is you do my you run my things like this 1043 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 2: is my offense. 1044 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: You figure how many like scheme touch guys that they 1045 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 1: try to bring in here under McDaniels that's never worked out, 1046 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,720 Speaker 1: like you'd see those pass and stuff. 1047 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he what's happening with the Raiders. And I 1048 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 2: think that they drafted mac Jones in part because they 1049 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 2: figure kne Josh McDaniel's going to be his offensive coordinator. 1050 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 2: Maybe they thought it was going to be a longer 1051 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 2: runway than it ended up being. Yeah, but they thought 1052 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 2: Josh McDaniel's going to be the offensive coordinator, and in 1053 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,760 Speaker 2: that draft, he was the best fit for the McDaniels offense, 1054 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,240 Speaker 2: And that's why they they drafted him in the first round. 1055 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 2: So I agree wholeheartedly that that's a great way of 1056 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 2: putting the differences I feel between McDaniels and O'Brien, because 1057 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 2: I will add this, I don't think that the pat 1058 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,399 Speaker 2: I don't think it's I don't think it's fair to 1059 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 2: say or categorize and say that the Patriots are running 1060 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 2: the same offense they were running with Josh McDaniels. I 1061 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 2: think there's a lot of pretty significant schematic differences between 1062 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 2: how O'Brien approaches the offense and how McDaniels approached the offense, 1063 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 2: both from a formation grouping standpoint, obviously not having a 1064 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,439 Speaker 2: fullback and not having twenty one personal and not using 1065 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 2: at avenue. But also I would just say from the 1066 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,839 Speaker 2: way that their passing game is is designed, I think 1067 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 2: it's significantly not not say significantly maybe, but different. They 1068 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 2: have a lot of the same concepts, they have a 1069 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 2: lot of the same ideas in terms of, like you know, 1070 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,359 Speaker 2: option routes based off of leverage and like things like that, 1071 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 2: but like in terms of how they design their offenses, 1072 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:29,439 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a fair, uh categorization to say 1073 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 2: that this is the same offense. That they were running 1074 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:32,359 Speaker 2: at twenty twenty one. 1075 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 1: No, it's definitely not. I mean they're related, you know, 1076 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: it's they're they're closer to each other than they are 1077 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 1: to Patricia's offense. 1078 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 2: Their cousins. 1079 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 1: Well, no, but I mean like they're close to each 1080 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,400 Speaker 1: other than they either one is to Patricia's offense, but 1081 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 1: they're not. Yeah, they're not the same thing either their cousins. 1082 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, like when you talk about like languages, right, 1083 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, like English and French and languages. 1084 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 2: It's like if you were speaking uh, you know, Italian. Yeah, 1085 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 2: but like sometimes like Northern Italians different than Southern Italian. 1086 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: Like, I don't I even thought it was more different 1087 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 1: than that. I was going to say. More, it's like, 1088 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 1: you know, like French English, it's spand it they all 1089 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 1: come from like the Saint they all come from Latin, right, 1090 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: and then there's everyone it's called like other languages and 1091 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: other parts of the world. 1092 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 2: So you think that that they're both romance languages. 1093 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: Right, But that's the term I'm looking for res Like, yeah, 1094 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 1: so they're in that same family, but they're different languages. 1095 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that, And but I hear that 1096 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 2: a lot like that, Oh it's the same offense, Like, no, 1097 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 2: it's really not, it's really not. 1098 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,399 Speaker 1: And then it's this, now, all right, I'll say this 1099 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 1: if it's if we're going to compare it to something 1100 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: that and I don't think I'm breaking any news here. 1101 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 1: The comparison to Mac Jones past is to Alabama, No, 1102 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: to his rookie year. 1103 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, because that was the other thing I was about 1104 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,359 Speaker 2: to say was that, you know, McDaniels doesn't run any 1105 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 2: of this college stuff, like he doesn't run. Yeah, he 1106 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 2: doesn't run any of that kind of stuff as much 1107 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 2: I should. You know, it's in his playbook, but he 1108 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 2: doesn't really. He told me in twenty one. I remember 1109 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 2: asking him about it and he said, we don't major 1110 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 2: in RP. 1111 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 1: He was like, mad, at you've asked. 1112 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it was ridiculous that they weren't running them. 1113 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 2: I love the guy, but like, yeah, this quarter this 1114 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 2: RPO quarterback that lit it up on RPOs in college 1115 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 2: and they just never called them for Mac his rookie year. 1116 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 2: It was it was ridiculous. Anyways, I digress, but I 1117 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 2: agree with Todd that that is a feather in O'Brien's 1118 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 2: cap that I think O'Brien will continue to build this 1119 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,919 Speaker 2: offense around Mac Jones, and I think he already has. 1120 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 2: Like the fact that this offense didn't have a whole 1121 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 2: lot of deep shots in this game, I think was 1122 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 2: related to the offensive line, but I also think it's 1123 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 2: related to Mac Jones. I think that they know that 1124 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 2: they're going to time up their deep shots, but they're 1125 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,319 Speaker 2: not necessarily going to be like we saw last year 1126 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 2: in the first six weeks of the season before Mac 1127 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 2: got hurt. I should say first three weeks of the 1128 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 2: season before Mac got hurt, it was bombs away, right, 1129 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 2: And they're definitely not going to be that kind of 1130 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 2: offense this year. So I agree that McDaniels are in, 1131 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 2: O'Brien are different, and O'Brien, I think is I don't 1132 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 2: know if it's necessarily that O'Brien's changing his offense for Mac, 1133 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 2: but his offense is already almost pre built to fit 1134 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 2: Mac and to fit what Max's done in the past 1135 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,760 Speaker 2: a little bit better. All right, let's go to Sean 1136 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 2: and Vancouver. What's up Sean? 1137 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 3: Hey Evan. 1138 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 7: First off, I'd like to say Shanatova. 1139 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 2: To Alex too, both of us, right, Alex. 1140 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 4: Oh, both of you both. 1141 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,399 Speaker 7: I didn't even know Alex. I didn't realize you were 1142 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 7: Jewish as well. 1143 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,839 Speaker 2: But yeah, really, okay, that's a compliment, I think. 1144 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 1: No, I know, it's just most people. 1145 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:29,040 Speaker 2: It's it's anyway, happy New Year, to thank you. 1146 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 8: Thank you. 1147 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,439 Speaker 7: Okay. So, Evan, when I called in on Tuesday, didn't 1148 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 7: get a chance or I wasn't able to respond when 1149 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,280 Speaker 7: you you were wondering why I was encouraged by today 1150 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 7: you with your three points, you answered it. That's exactly why. 1151 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 7: And I don't have expectations that a lot of people 1152 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 7: do for this season, like we've we've talked a lot 1153 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 7: during the off season about team construction and how disappointing 1154 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 7: that was. So I don't expect the Patriots to make 1155 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 7: the playoffs. That's that's not where my my brain is. 1156 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 7: But looks like you were saying earlier, you know, it's 1157 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 7: encouraging without being a kind of a consolation prize of 1158 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 7: not winning. You know, I'm just thinking like, okay, yeah, 1159 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,360 Speaker 7: we've seen this before. It doesn't always work, but maybe 1160 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 7: it will this time. And that's where I am as 1161 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 7: a Patriots fan, Like if I were a Canadians fan, 1162 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,400 Speaker 7: I wouldn't even be there. Like in terms of the NHL, 1163 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 7: I would just think, I'm going to wait for them 1164 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,920 Speaker 7: to show me something because it's just too dismal to 1165 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 7: even bother with. But with the Patriots, it's I've always 1166 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 7: been a Patriots fan, even back in the nineties when 1167 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 7: you know, ninety and ninety one, ninety two, when it 1168 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 7: was terrible. It's it's just what I do. So I 1169 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 7: have to be encouraged and these are the signs. In 1170 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:52,360 Speaker 7: last year it was just a total mess, And like 1171 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,680 Speaker 7: what you said with Bob, it's it looks like, okay, 1172 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 7: there is some structure, we can make some headway and 1173 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 7: things can move forward. So that's what I'm getting at. 1174 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's great. On Tuesday August, just to give 1175 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 2: you context, thanks for the call, Sean, people were just 1176 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 2: calling in and saying I still have hope, and I 1177 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 2: was like, can we just like add some context to 1178 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 2: your hope, like just saying that you have blind hope? 1179 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,000 Speaker 2: To me, it means nothing. 1180 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,280 Speaker 1: That's that's fan. I mean, we're ultimately rooting for laundry. 1181 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 1: But no, I think what the college just said is 1182 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 1: exactly my point. Do you know what a Rars Shark 1183 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 1: test is? 1184 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:22,920 Speaker 3: Uh? 1185 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: No, So Rors Shark test does, yeah, green does? Yeah? 1186 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,800 Speaker 1: You know you know all right, it's an ink blot test. 1187 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,799 Speaker 1: Ink blot test. Okay, So it's like a psychology thing. 1188 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,359 Speaker 1: So they have they have like you have like six 1189 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,759 Speaker 1: or eight piece of paper that they just drop ink 1190 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: on and they show me to you without any context, 1191 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 1: and you say, what you see. It's like looking at clouds, 1192 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,919 Speaker 1: and the idea is supposedly based off what people see 1193 00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 1: in the ink, you kind of learn about who they 1194 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: are as a person. You can learn about their personality. 1195 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 1: This game, to me is a Rars Shark test. What 1196 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 1: you saw in it depends on and tells me about 1197 00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: what kind of fan you are. 1198 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 2: So you're basically saying I'm a I hate fun You're. 1199 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 1: Like exactly or the other one. Just to flex my 1200 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 1: c and ap psych senior high school. You know, Schrodinger's 1201 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 1: Cat is no. Schrodinger's Cat is this thought experiment that 1202 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: basically there's a cat in a box with like a 1203 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,520 Speaker 1: little like like just basically the idea that if there's 1204 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: a cat in a box with poison, you don't know 1205 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 1: if the cat is alive. Or dead until you open 1206 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 1: the box. And the like philosophical thing behind that is so, 1207 00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 1: until you open the box, the cat is both simultaneously 1208 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 1: alive and dead. If that makes sense, both things are true, right, 1209 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: both things are true. So this game in some ways 1210 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: Schrodinger's game, because we don't know, we don't have the 1211 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 1: box open. Is this because it does both look like 1212 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 1: that's as much again I got to see in the classes, 1213 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 1: as far as I'm gonna go, that's absolutely they do. 1214 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: Somebody in the chat said one p sych course in college, 1215 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: try one side course in high school. This game, it 1216 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 1: is both simultaneously the first step under Bill O'Brien and 1217 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 1: in that bubbles and encouraging first step. It is also 1218 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 1: the continuation of the post Tom Brady hour in the 1219 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 1: last four years and until we take the lid off 1220 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,280 Speaker 1: the box play more football games. I think both interpretations 1221 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 1: for now are correct. And if you want to call 1222 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 1: that a cop out, call it a cop out. It 1223 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: probably is a little bit. But like I can't you 1224 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: know how I am. I'm gonna sit here and tell 1225 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,480 Speaker 1: you what I believe. If you make a valid argument, 1226 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 1: even if I disagree with it, if you back it 1227 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,440 Speaker 1: up I'm going to agree with you. I think you 1228 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: could make either argument in a way that I would agree. 1229 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 1: We talk, we were arguing to the other night. I said, yes, 1230 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 1: you're not wrong. They haven't proven they can win that game, 1231 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: and I am gonna need to see him do it. 1232 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, a team with a first 1233 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: year roc with a young quarterback doing what they did 1234 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 1: against that defense, well, it certainly wasn't enough for week 1235 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 1: one to say this is the floor you have, this 1236 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: is what you're building on in theory. In theory, yes, 1237 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 1: Week one is your worst perform So. 1238 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,439 Speaker 2: But this is I guess. This is where I come 1239 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 2: from with it, is that I knew this was their 1240 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 2: floor going into the year, so I didn't learn anything new. 1241 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 2: I knew, okay, but you're. 1242 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,880 Speaker 1: Almost acting like this is closer to the ceiling than 1243 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 1: the floor. 1244 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 2: I suppose, like I guess that's where they just people. 1245 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,080 Speaker 2: I think the way I look at it, and this is, 1246 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 2: you know, kind of where I'm coming from with all 1247 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 2: of it, is that I think this is a floor 1248 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 2: football team. I think this football team is designed and 1249 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 2: built to have the coaching and the operation and the 1250 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 2: program and all of this stuff put a good floor 1251 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 2: of eight or nine wins, and then they hope that 1252 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 2: you get it. You get a good bounce here, you 1253 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 2: get a bounce there, you play a backup quarterback here, 1254 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,800 Speaker 2: you play a backup quarterback there, and then all of 1255 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 2: a sudden, you're ten to eleven wins, right, Like you. 1256 00:58:52,720 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 1: Know, right. So, I think given the opponent, like I think, 1257 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people expect them to get stopped because 1258 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: the Eagles are. 1259 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 2: That's the other thing is I didn't so going into 1260 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 2: this game, I picked Eagles twenty seven Patriots twenty. 1261 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles were top two teams even if 1262 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: you want to go beyond the romantics of that. The 1263 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,760 Speaker 1: Eagles were top four team in the nflast year. 1264 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 2: But but, but, but but you have to put this 1265 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 2: in context. The Eagles did not play a soul in 1266 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 2: the preseason. 1267 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 1: And because the Patriots played so much. 1268 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 2: But I'm saying that all the trends of the Patriots 1269 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 2: being at home on Tom Brady's return against a raigning 1270 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 2: Super Bowl loser that did not play anybody in the 1271 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 2: preseason told you that the Eagles were probably not going 1272 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,320 Speaker 2: to be firing at all cylinders to come out here 1273 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 2: and blow. 1274 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: Down when teams used to come in here and it 1275 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: was close. Even though the Patriots won, we would say, oh, 1276 00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 1: it's a scrappy team. That team might be building something. 1277 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 1: Patriots are just on the other side of that. Now, 1278 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: that's all that is. I think being five points worse 1279 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,440 Speaker 1: and the defending NFC champion does carry some weight with 1280 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people. Whether you think that's fair or not, 1281 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,560 Speaker 1: kind of gets to my point of the game is 1282 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 1: whatever you want to. 1283 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 2: But my only point of of all this and then 1284 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,360 Speaker 2: we're getting bogged down and classically in an argument that 1285 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 2: we're not going I think. 1286 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: That's what people want to hear after you've lost your 1287 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: mind on Tuesday. Apparently I didn't even hear it. 1288 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 2: I say, did you even listen to the show? 1289 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 5: No? 1290 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 2: But I had not. 1291 01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,920 Speaker 1: Even on Twitter. I had friends texting me asking if 1292 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,360 Speaker 1: you were okay because it was so I can only 1293 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 1: imagine it was spectacular. 1294 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 2: It was spectacular. I'm proud of it. 1295 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 1: So I think this is what people want to hear. 1296 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 2: Against Bill Belichick. 1297 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: Uh. 1298 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 2: Here's the thing that my whole thing I think coming 1299 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,439 Speaker 2: into this game was I thought that the Eagles would 1300 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 2: be a little bit rusty. I thought that the Patriots 1301 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 2: would keep this close because of all the things I 1302 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:58,720 Speaker 2: just laid out, So just being competitive, I expected them. 1303 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:04,400 Speaker 1: Okay, being five points worse than the Eagles is you know, 1304 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 1: how many points better are the Eagles involvement? 1305 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 2: But they're not five points worse than the Eagles team 1306 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,880 Speaker 2: that took the field in the Super Bowl in February. 1307 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,880 Speaker 2: They're five points worse than an Eagles team that essentially 1308 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 2: treated this game as a preseason. 1309 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 1: Okay, but they're going to grow. It's not like they're 1310 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 1: not going to have opportunities to improve either. 1311 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 2: I get it. I'm just saying that the reason why 1312 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 2: I came into the game thinking that it's going to 1313 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,680 Speaker 2: be a one score game to begin with was because 1314 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 2: of all of the trends with the Eagles, right, and 1315 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 2: so I didn't expect. 1316 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,000 Speaker 1: But the Patriots don't get trends. 1317 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,000 Speaker 2: Is kind of like, because my point is that I 1318 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 2: don't think I think a lot of people, like you 1319 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 2: kind of said a few minutes ago, a lot of 1320 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 2: people thought the Patriots are going to get blown out 1321 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:41,600 Speaker 2: in this game. 1322 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 1: I never felt that way, even when even when we 1323 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 1: got the inter report and Mike and went and Cole 1324 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 1: Strange weren't playing and Devonte Parker was ruled out. 1325 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 2: I was more I was a little bit concerned at 1326 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 2: that point, but I still didn't think the Eagles would 1327 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,240 Speaker 2: have the execution offensively to run away with it because 1328 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:02,960 Speaker 2: of how little those guys did in August. And that's 1329 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 2: just you know. I think Reese put it in his 1330 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 2: Sunday notes coming into the. 1331 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 1: I think what we've unlocked here is not that you're 1332 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,720 Speaker 1: being too estimatetic. You may have been being too optimistic. 1333 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,360 Speaker 2: Maybe I think that's the real problem here, is we've 1334 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 2: launched it was it was a combination of of my 1335 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 2: expectations coming into the game, where maybe a little bit 1336 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 2: higher than other people, because I thought the Patriots would 1337 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 2: compete in the game to begin with. I think the 1338 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,320 Speaker 2: reason why is I said the trends. But I also 1339 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 2: mention I think the Patriots are going to compete in 1340 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 2: a lot of games because they have that floor. Their 1341 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 2: coaching is good. Their coaching is good, and I want 1342 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,080 Speaker 2: to talk about the defense who coached their butts off 1343 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 2: on that side of the ball against the Eagles. Their 1344 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 2: coaching is good. They have good coaching, So they're going 1345 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 2: to be a floor team because of that they're not 1346 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 2: going to stink because they're coaching is really really sound 1347 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,479 Speaker 2: on both sides of the football. So I can't thought, 1348 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,840 Speaker 2: coming in along with the fact that I thought the 1349 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 2: Patriots are going to hang in there against most teams 1350 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,200 Speaker 2: this year, that the Patriots would be close in this 1351 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,439 Speaker 2: game against Philadelphia. And that's exactly what happened. And as 1352 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 2: the game was ending live, we sat talked to him 1353 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 2: about this on Tuesday, so Marine can back me up. 1354 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 2: Deuce and Paul were saying, they're gonna win the game. Patriots. Yeah, 1355 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 2: they're gonna drive in, They're gonna win the game, and 1356 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 2: I kept on saying, no, they're not. Just just wait, 1357 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 2: I was. 1358 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: I was with you on that. I was sitting next 1359 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 1: to my cad like, and right after the jabill peppersonly goes, 1360 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 1: do you think they're gonna win? And I'm like, they 1361 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 1: can win, but they haven't won this game in like 1362 01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 1: four years, right. 1363 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,480 Speaker 2: And it's so that was that was the beginning of 1364 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,880 Speaker 2: my turn. Was I had to write the same story 1365 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:38,480 Speaker 2: that I've been writing for for four years. 1366 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: So that's my point is where I wonder if you're 1367 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 1: over correcting a bit, And because because I like I 1368 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,520 Speaker 1: told you, I told you I wrote three. 1369 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,520 Speaker 2: Separate therapy session. Now, like, what's really I I. 1370 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,360 Speaker 1: Wrote three separate post game calls because the one thing 1371 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,439 Speaker 1: about covering a week one game, and there's a lot 1372 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 1: like covering week one is very different than covering any 1373 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: other game, just to pull back the curtain a little bit, 1374 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 1: because you have so many preconceived notions going in. And 1375 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 1: like the example I always give is in twenty twenty, 1376 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 1: remember when Mike when when who came out started playing 1377 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 1: right tackle, hadn't played right tackle at all in camp 1378 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: even yeah, and he was amazing at it. And that's like, 1379 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,560 Speaker 1: you never have to adjust to seeing something like you 1380 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: do in week one. Every it's all unexpected. You're on 1381 01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: your toes. Sometimes you go into a game, you have 1382 01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 1: an idea of kind of what you're gonna talk about postgame, 1383 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,800 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, you know, I know, I'm gonna 1384 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,400 Speaker 1: focus on this one thing and if it goes this way, 1385 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,439 Speaker 1: I'll do this, because that will do that whatever. Week 1386 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 1: ones the one time you can't really do that. The 1387 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: one thing you do not expect covering a week one game, Evan, 1388 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: is to have to worry that you're gonna be repeating yourself, 1389 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 1: and that was my thing. After the game, I was like, 1390 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 1: because how many times last year did I have to 1391 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 1: write and you and everybody that stupid column that was 1392 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 1: like it was it's been the story of the year, 1393 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: or here we go again, and I'm running out of 1394 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 1: synonyms for late game failure or whatever, and I'm sitting here, 1395 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 1: it's like it's week one and I'm having deja vu, 1396 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,439 Speaker 1: like this shouldn't be a thing. And I think that's 1397 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 1: where some of the issue in breaking down this game 1398 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 1: comes in, is because you shouldn't be repetitive week one, 1399 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 1: and yet here we are. This game might have as 1400 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,680 Speaker 1: well have been played as Week nineteen of the twenty 1401 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 1: twenty two season. It would have fitted playing It looked 1402 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:16,920 Speaker 1: a little weak, not you get what I'm saying, Like 1403 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,960 Speaker 1: it looked different, the O'Brien and Patricia stuff. It looked different. 1404 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 1: But the game flow, the game story, it was like, yeah, 1405 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: I've written this before, right, And that was kind of 1406 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,960 Speaker 1: jarrings because you don't expect to do that in week one. 1407 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 2: And what I keep coming back to and I'm going 1408 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 2: to keep her. I don't care if I sound like 1409 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:36,640 Speaker 2: a broken record. It looked better it looked sharper, the 1410 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,200 Speaker 2: play designs were nicer, it looked prettier, it looked better. 1411 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 2: But the talent level is the same on offense. The 1412 01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 2: talent level is the same. So when it came. 1413 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,880 Speaker 1: Out, all right, I would push back on that, it's 1414 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 1: not the same. I don't know that it's good enough, 1415 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 1: but it's not the same. It's the same. They have 1416 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 1: Tomorrow Douglas. Now, okay, they but they have Ezekiel Elliott. 1417 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 2: I know it's Tomorrio Douglas beter than Jacobe Myers because 1418 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 2: Juju wasn't on the field, So I can't you can't, Okay. 1419 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,000 Speaker 1: Well, I mean I'm more so talking about like, you know, 1420 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: they're not throwing Nelson Agler out there, They're not throwing 1421 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 1: a kil Harry out there. 1422 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, their receivers are better than they were two years. 1423 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,240 Speaker 1: But maybe it's a wash in some of the other 1424 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: they didn't have their offensive line, right, maybe it's a 1425 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: wash in some of the other direct The talent. 1426 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 2: Level is in the same ballpark. You can tell me 1427 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 2: that this guy's a little bit better than that guy. 1428 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 2: That guy's a little bit better than this guy. But 1429 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the talent's in the 1430 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 2: same ballpark, and when it was fourth and three, when 1431 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 2: it was fourth in the game, they're just there's there's 1432 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 2: nobody to it doesn't Yeah, it doesn't happen, they don't. 1433 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 1: But it's again that's it goes back to my thing 1434 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 1: of like, I really didn't want to be repetitive covering 1435 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 1: this game. How many times in the spring and in 1436 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 1: the winter, and going back to last year the stupid 1437 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 1: Tuesday meeting thing that we had to explain and the 1438 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 1: coverage dictating wide receiver, It's like. 1439 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 2: Fourth and three was the Tuesday meeting. 1440 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 1: It picked, right, it picked when's the last time? How 1441 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,680 Speaker 1: often do we joke over the summer or when we're 1442 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,360 Speaker 1: covering OTAs or even during the drive we're talking about 1443 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 1: this now and watch we're gonna get to week one, 1444 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna throw it all out, right. How many times 1445 01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:07,919 Speaker 1: do we kind of say that when we're talking about 1446 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 1: the team? Do you ever remember? And we've only been 1447 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:11,360 Speaker 1: doing this for six years, but I think that's a 1448 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 1: decent sample size. You remember the last time Week one? 1449 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,520 Speaker 1: It was the takes from training camp to the game 1450 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:19,920 Speaker 1: were so seamless. 1451 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,360 Speaker 2: I think last year we knew the offense was a disaster. 1452 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 1: We didn't know it was that bad. I think we 1453 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:25,480 Speaker 1: did okay, but it wasn't. 1454 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 2: Maybe we didn't. We were still I'll speak for myself, 1455 01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 2: I was still rose colored glasses a little bit last year, 1456 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,000 Speaker 2: so maybe I didn't see it, but I think it 1457 01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,400 Speaker 2: was gonna be that bad. But I think that we 1458 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 2: should have seen that. 1459 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,280 Speaker 1: But there was also stuffs like they'd added Parker and 1460 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,880 Speaker 1: it was like, okay, they've done that, and Remandre and 1461 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 1: like I think he had a bigger role expected. 1462 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,400 Speaker 2: We knew this. The system and the coaching. 1463 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 1: Was but this was like, I mean, like the game 1464 01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 1: could not have happened and the talking points would be 1465 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 1: exactly the same if we were just carrying on another 1466 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,919 Speaker 1: week from camp. Nothing changed, And that's weird for week one. 1467 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 1: Usually week one changes things. 1468 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll give you that. All right, let's go back 1469 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 2: to the phones. Mason's in Connecticut. What's up, Mason? 1470 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 5: How you guys doing good? 1471 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 8: Hey? 1472 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:11,240 Speaker 9: All right, so I gotta get this out quick. I 1473 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 9: actually have to leave in a second. But Evan, I 1474 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,559 Speaker 9: know that you're not a Kashan Boody guy, and I 1475 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,000 Speaker 9: get it. I understand. I agree with you that he 1476 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 9: didn't look great on Sunday. 1477 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 8: Okay, he made some. 1478 01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 9: Mistake obviously, had the two pass, he didn't get his 1479 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 9: feet down. More importantly, I think on the second one 1480 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,560 Speaker 9: last play of the game, I think he ran a 1481 01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,320 Speaker 9: lazy route. I think if he runs a stem hard 1482 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 9: there and he sells vertical, I don't think Joe breaks 1483 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 9: on it fast enough to push him out of bounds. However, 1484 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,479 Speaker 9: for the guys starting in his first NFL game that 1485 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 9: who was kind of playing out a position, Okay, I 1486 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 9: think there were times where he attacked leverage well. I 1487 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,640 Speaker 9: think he looked like he was thinking out there a 1488 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,800 Speaker 9: lot of times. I think he showed explosiveness off line 1489 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,840 Speaker 9: of scrimmage a few times, which was a question mark 1490 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,800 Speaker 9: for him coming into this season. I think specifically on 1491 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 9: one of the touchdowns of Kendrick Bourne, he was running 1492 01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 9: a curl on the right side of the formation and 1493 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,400 Speaker 9: he looked explos off line of scrimmage. I think he 1494 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,800 Speaker 9: ran the stem hard, he had a good snapdown, a 1495 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:05,759 Speaker 9: good trigger step, came out of it in three steps. 1496 01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 9: I think there were some things to feel good about 1497 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 9: in this game for Kashan Booty, and I think he 1498 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,640 Speaker 9: could be a guy and listen before I go, I 1499 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,479 Speaker 9: just want to let you guys know it's not too 1500 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 9: late to get on the Kaishan Boody bandwag Okay, I 1501 01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,800 Speaker 9: want to personally invite you guys to the Kaishan Boody 1502 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 9: Bank Club. We call ourselves the Booty Clap Bandit. The 1503 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,719 Speaker 9: door is open the winner circle. Guys, all right, thank. 1504 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 2: You, Thanks, good call, Mason, good call. A lot of 1505 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 2: really good points about Kashan Booty. I agree with you 1506 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,840 Speaker 2: wholeheartedly about the last route. Could have ran it faster, 1507 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,679 Speaker 2: could have ran it better. Yeah, I'm sure he feels 1508 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,760 Speaker 2: the same way. I'm not breaking any news to him. 1509 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 2: Uh what he said about him playing out a position 1510 01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 2: agree one percent. 1511 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 1: Some we targed it they didn't have a second true x. 1512 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I wrote this in after further review that 1513 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,719 Speaker 2: I actually don't hold anything against Kaishan Booty on Sunday 1514 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:55,160 Speaker 2: for that exact reason. 1515 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:56,679 Speaker 1: Even though at the beginning of the show you said 1516 01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 1: he was bad. 1517 01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:58,800 Speaker 2: I didn't say it was bad. I just said, like, 1518 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,559 Speaker 2: you can't really give kaish On Boody like a pass. 1519 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 2: That's fair. 1520 01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 1: I No, it's fair. 1521 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,760 Speaker 2: I just like I mean, the film was the film, Like, 1522 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 2: you know, I agree with the caller that it wasn't hopeless, 1523 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 2: but I just felt like I wrote it in after 1524 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 2: further review that I hold nothing against Kaishan Boody because 1525 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 2: to me, we've talked about this a lot with him, 1526 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 2: even before they drafted him. He's a Z slot like, 1527 01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 2: he's an inside player that had to be forced to 1528 01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 2: play on the outside because DeVante Parker's hurt Juju is 1529 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,720 Speaker 2: whatever and Tykwon Thwarton's on IR so they had no 1530 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 2: other X receiver besides Kaishan Boody. They obviously weren't going 1531 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,800 Speaker 2: to play Pop Douglas at the X, so it made 1532 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:39,599 Speaker 2: all the sense in the world that it was Booty. 1533 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,800 Speaker 2: We all thought it would be Booty coming into the game, 1534 01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,120 Speaker 2: and it was. And I agree with the caller one 1535 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 2: hundred and ten percent that that's not on him that 1536 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 2: he doesn't know how to to tap the sideline when 1537 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,599 Speaker 2: he's probably done it like six times in his life 1538 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 2: in a game, So I don't blame him at all 1539 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 2: for it. I didn't necessarily see the explosiveness. Maybe I 1540 01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,639 Speaker 2: have to go back and watch some of his routes 1541 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 2: that the caller talked about and I think that some 1542 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,720 Speaker 2: of the route running was a little bit sloppy. So 1543 01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,800 Speaker 2: that's where I come from with Booty. I don't mind 1544 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 2: do you. 1545 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,720 Speaker 1: Think this route running in the second half specifically, I. 1546 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:12,559 Speaker 2: Thought there was one route in particular where he tried 1547 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,880 Speaker 2: to run an out and up and I thought that 1548 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 2: maybe he had a chance to get open on it 1549 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 2: because he was single covered and he just didn't really 1550 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,639 Speaker 2: sell it all that well and just kind of rolled 1551 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,719 Speaker 2: into the defender and it was kind of pretty ugly. 1552 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 2: That was late in the game. I actually thought looking 1553 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,200 Speaker 2: back on it, and I'm sure it was a locked route, 1554 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 2: so I don't think he had like the eruption to like, 1555 01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,719 Speaker 2: if he had just hit like a three step slant, 1556 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,479 Speaker 2: I think it would have been more effective than what 1557 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:36,280 Speaker 2: he ended up doing. 1558 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just saying because I the first half, a 1559 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 1: lot of guys are slipping around with the rain. When 1560 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:42,920 Speaker 1: I looked at the route running stuff like I did 1561 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 1: this with Douglas too, I was just I really only 1562 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:45,760 Speaker 1: looked at the second half. 1563 01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I felt like some of his routes were 1564 01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 2: not crisp and not really he doesn't to me, he 1565 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,600 Speaker 2: doesn't have a ton of suddenness in his break or 1566 01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 2: at the top of the route unless he's running he 1567 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 2: is I can trying to be more positive. He is 1568 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,040 Speaker 2: a great slant route runner. Yeah, he runs great slants, 1569 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,599 Speaker 2: but when he gets down the field eight twelve yard breaks, 1570 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 2: there's just not a whole lot of sell or wiggle 1571 01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,559 Speaker 2: to those types of routes. But if you're asking him 1572 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,639 Speaker 2: to run a slant like we saw it in Green Bay, 1573 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,880 Speaker 2: he runs great slants, So maybe that's something to build 1574 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,920 Speaker 2: off of. And I think it's comfortability too, Like you 1575 01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,160 Speaker 2: can tell that he's so comfortable running a three or 1576 01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 2: five step slant that it just looks explosive when he 1577 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 2: does it because he's he runs that route like it's 1578 01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 2: the back of his hand. I wasn't like overly like, 1579 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 2: oh my god, take him off the field with Kisehan Boody, 1580 01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 2: But I just I feel like there's I don't know, 1581 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:46,479 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know if I see the twitch or 1582 01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 2: the explosiveness to be a real dynamic receiver in the league. 1583 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 2: Can he be like a fourth or fifth receiver for 1584 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 2: his rookie contract. Absolutely, I think that we're at that point. 1585 01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 1: And in the sixth round. Fine, Yeah, it's not like 1586 01:12:58,840 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 1: they took him top fifty. 1587 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,759 Speaker 2: All right, Jeff is in Maine. What's up, Jeff? 1588 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 10: Hey, what's going on? 1589 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 3: Guys? 1590 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:05,559 Speaker 2: Hey? 1591 01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,559 Speaker 10: So I had a couple of things. One, Alex, I 1592 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:13,360 Speaker 10: got a college football player for you, Okay, Tristan keenan 1593 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:20,519 Speaker 10: Umane kind of like the true freshman. I don't I doubt, 1594 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,880 Speaker 10: I mean from knowing means football team historically, I doubt 1595 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,600 Speaker 10: he's an NFL talent. But he's kind of like a 1596 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:31,640 Speaker 10: faster Rex Burkhead. He's fun to watch, okay. And so 1597 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 10: the thing for the Pats, And I know you guys 1598 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 10: wanted to transition to defense against personnel like Miami, and 1599 01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 10: I know that this show has always been a proponent 1600 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 10: of playing Marte Mapu at the second level, and I 1601 01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 10: have two He played well at safety the first game, 1602 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,920 Speaker 10: I thought, But I think with this game, and I'm 1603 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,240 Speaker 10: curious what you guys think, it makes more sense to 1604 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 10: me to keep him at the second level because I 1605 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:02,720 Speaker 10: think if your linebackers are and obviously their past game 1606 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,720 Speaker 10: is incredible, but I think if your linebackers are to 1607 01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:12,719 Speaker 10: buy and Bentley, Raheem Moster and Devin and Shane are 1608 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 10: just gonna absolutely run away from them, and I think 1609 01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,040 Speaker 10: that would be a problem. And so I think that 1610 01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:25,600 Speaker 10: you know what, the true secondary players handle the receivers 1611 01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 10: and you know, move him to the second level to 1612 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,840 Speaker 10: try to stop those running backs from absolutely eating you alive. 1613 01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Yeah, that's an interesting point, Thanks Jeff, And 1614 01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 2: I did want to transition here to the Dolphins for 1615 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,000 Speaker 2: the last half hour of the show and preview the 1616 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,519 Speaker 2: Dolphins a little bit. This is a this is the 1617 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,400 Speaker 2: conundrum for the Patriots with the Dolphins and the Patriots defense. 1618 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 2: In my opinion, you have to put a ton of 1619 01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 2: help on Tyreek Hill. So if you're gonna help a 1620 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 2: ton to Tyreek Hill, and I I say help because 1621 01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:04,920 Speaker 2: I don't love calling it a double team, Like I 1622 01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 2: don't think it's like necessarily a double team. But at 1623 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,680 Speaker 2: the very very least, the post safety has to be 1624 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 2: dedicated to number ten, right, Like the post safety has 1625 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 2: to have eyes on number ten at all times. That's 1626 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 2: just the bottom line, because it's not fair to Jonathan 1627 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:21,120 Speaker 2: Jones to leave him out there on an island against 1628 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,640 Speaker 2: Hill all the time. So here's the conundrum, right for 1629 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 2: the Patriots in this game. And I'm curious about your 1630 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:29,479 Speaker 2: take on this, because we had a lot of people, 1631 01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,160 Speaker 2: Alex that called into the show last week, and I 1632 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 2: know a lot of people on my Twitter I'm sure 1633 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,360 Speaker 2: your twitter feed as well that were not confident in 1634 01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:41,840 Speaker 2: leaving Christian Gonzales one on one with AJ Brown in 1635 01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 2: Sunday's game. Yeah, and they did for the most part, 1636 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,920 Speaker 2: and he held up pretty well. So different type of 1637 01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:55,120 Speaker 2: receiver with Jalen Waddle. Yeah, And that's the question, are 1638 01:15:55,160 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 2: you confident in Gonzales? I would think, or maybe it's 1639 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 2: Marcus Jones if you want the speed on speed matchup, 1640 01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:09,680 Speaker 2: but either one taking Wattle, it's never truly on an 1641 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:16,920 Speaker 2: island but without the real resource, right yeah? Or are 1642 01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 2: you emptying the box? And if most of it was 1643 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:21,719 Speaker 2: a d MP yesterday, I don't know if he's gonna 1644 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 2: play in this game. A shame's a fast running back, 1645 01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,000 Speaker 2: like the caller said, explosive guy ran like a four 1646 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 2: three eight or something like that. Really speed guy. Are 1647 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,080 Speaker 2: you either empty the box and whatever they get to 1648 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 2: the backs of the backfield, the run game, all that 1649 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:41,120 Speaker 2: kind of stuff you live with or you live with 1650 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,960 Speaker 2: being one on one on Wattley. 1651 01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 1: I let him run the ball, me too. I let 1652 01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 1: him beat your running the ball. And look, I maybe 1653 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm being too optimistic here. And Evan, I know 1654 01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:53,800 Speaker 1: you think Sunday's performance should go down as one of 1655 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,479 Speaker 1: the worst in Patriots history. But I liked what I saw. 1656 01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 1: I liked what I saw from the defensive line. And 1657 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,879 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're going to shut them down without 1658 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 1: additional players in the box against the run. But is 1659 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 1: their offensive line that great? 1660 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,600 Speaker 2: I don't, especially not. 1661 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,559 Speaker 1: Out there right, So give me you know, Keon White, 1662 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,360 Speaker 1: Christian Barmore really good game, probably better run game than 1663 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:18,800 Speaker 1: pass game. 1664 01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,800 Speaker 2: Christian Barmer had a sneaky good game. It wasn't a 1665 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:22,640 Speaker 2: game you like. 1666 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 1: It was a classic Christian Barmore game. Because people always 1667 01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:27,599 Speaker 1: complain that he doesn't have enough stats, but he's always 1668 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: like the jude On sack early is a perfect example. 1669 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 2: He's right there. 1670 01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 1: He created that even though he didn't get stat Give 1671 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,200 Speaker 1: me Christian Barmore, give me key On White, give me 1672 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 1: uh Tetrick Wise would a good game minus the penalties, 1673 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 1: which were big. It doesn't, but right Juwan Bentley, give 1674 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 1: me those guys up front, those four I think they 1675 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:50,120 Speaker 1: do enough. If you're going to give them the run 1676 01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 1: and basically put those four guys sort of on an 1677 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,880 Speaker 1: island against the run and put the resources in the secondary. Again, 1678 01:17:58,200 --> 01:17:59,640 Speaker 1: you're not gonna shut him down. It's not like you're 1679 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 1: going to run for like three yards to carry. But 1680 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,440 Speaker 1: I think that keeps it very manageable. 1681 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're gonna they're gonna play a lot of 1682 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 2: zone in this game. I guarantee it. They're gonna play 1683 01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,000 Speaker 2: a lot of soft zone and they're gonna try to 1684 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 2: keep the top on the defense. Yeah. Cover two quarters like, 1685 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 2: they'll mix that in Cover three, they're gonna play a 1686 01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:19,160 Speaker 2: ton of zone. Uh when they go to man or 1687 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 2: basically man. There's two coverages that I think that that 1688 01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,040 Speaker 2: exist that I think would be good in this matchup. 1689 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,160 Speaker 2: One is what they used last year, which is one 1690 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:32,400 Speaker 2: cross It's one robber, but the robber is looking for 1691 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,559 Speaker 2: the crosser from the passing string, and when he picks 1692 01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:39,000 Speaker 2: up the crosser, the man coverage defender on the receiver 1693 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,840 Speaker 2: drops off and becomes the new robber. He replaces him 1694 01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:43,760 Speaker 2: in the middle of the field in the coverage. So 1695 01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:48,759 Speaker 2: that takes away things like a crosser with a dig 1696 01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,040 Speaker 2: from the outside, because now that defender that falls off 1697 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,160 Speaker 2: is gonna fall off into the dig window, so you 1698 01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 2: can take away both things. So they did that a 1699 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,840 Speaker 2: lot because this Miami team, just like when they played 1700 01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:02,360 Speaker 2: Kansas City with Tyreek Hill, they know that they're gonna 1701 01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 2: run crossing routes. It's either're gonna be Hill or waddle, 1702 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:08,320 Speaker 2: but somebody is running across or I guarantee it, so 1703 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,840 Speaker 2: they're gonna They could do that. They could play one 1704 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 2: cross and they could cut off the crossing route and 1705 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 2: then have the post safety over the top to help 1706 01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,519 Speaker 2: the Tyreek. Uh. The other thing that they could do 1707 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 2: is play a Saban coverage, which is called cover seven. 1708 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,559 Speaker 2: Cover seven is too high safety and each safety is 1709 01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:29,160 Speaker 2: bracketing a different guy, so they can actually double team 1710 01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:30,280 Speaker 2: both players. 1711 01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:30,599 Speaker 10: Right. 1712 01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,800 Speaker 2: The problem with cover seven is that you'll give up 1713 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,280 Speaker 2: two hundred yards on the ground if you. 1714 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,840 Speaker 1: Play what runs against like Kiffen and Yeah in those. 1715 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:40,640 Speaker 2: Saban loves it. He runs it a lot more in 1716 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,639 Speaker 2: college because of obvious differences. 1717 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,520 Speaker 1: He runs it against the teams Yeah. 1718 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,479 Speaker 2: And they So basically you will have a cone bracket 1719 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,080 Speaker 2: is what they call it, an inside out bracket on 1720 01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:56,080 Speaker 2: both Wattle and Hill. You can call that on like 1721 01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 2: third and long because you know they're not gonna run it. 1722 01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 2: But if you call that on first down and then 1723 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,479 Speaker 2: they're gonna run for two hundred yards, does it matter 1724 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 2: if they run for two hundred yards. I'm not necessarily 1725 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,200 Speaker 2: sold it matters. 1726 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: So it as long as the game's close, it doesn't 1727 01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,080 Speaker 1: matter if you let them if they get a multi 1728 01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,760 Speaker 1: score lead, of course, right. But no, I if the 1729 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,760 Speaker 1: ball's not in Tira Killing Jalen Waddle's hands and the 1730 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,519 Speaker 1: other you can't get beat on the RPOs. That's the 1731 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,280 Speaker 1: other thing on these coverages you're describing. Go to that. 1732 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,559 Speaker 1: If the ball's not in those guys' hands, let them 1733 01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 1: run the ball up and down the field. The other 1734 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,559 Speaker 1: thing I've noticed about to him this is I'm debuting 1735 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,160 Speaker 1: this take here, so I don't know, feel free to 1736 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 1: push back. I don't want to put this. Do you remember, 1737 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't know when you stopped playing two K, but 1738 01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,360 Speaker 1: they put a thing in where like players are like 1739 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 1: different badges, so it was like not overalls. Okay, do 1740 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,080 Speaker 1: you remember the microwave badge? So it was like certain 1741 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:54,519 Speaker 1: players if you kept shooting with them, they'd get better. 1742 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 1: But if you only took a shot with them. Every 1743 01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,880 Speaker 1: once in a while they'd actually play worse. Two was 1744 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,040 Speaker 1: kind of a microwave faster. I like that a little 1745 01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,559 Speaker 1: bit like this when he how many pass take? How 1746 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,160 Speaker 1: many passes did he throw last week? I don't know 1747 01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,479 Speaker 1: the exact number it was, It was a lot. Yeah, 1748 01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:09,559 Speaker 1: I want to actually find the exact number. And I 1749 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 1: think that's part of the reason. Yeah, through forty five 1750 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,000 Speaker 1: passes last year. I think that's part of the reason 1751 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:15,960 Speaker 1: he played so well is because he can get in 1752 01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,519 Speaker 1: that rhythm where it's drop back pass, drop back pass, 1753 01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: drop back pass. If you're forcing them to run the ball, 1754 01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 1: not just call runs, but also hand the ball off 1755 01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: on those RPOs. He's not a guy that throws great 1756 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 1: when he's cold. If it's the fifth, sixth, seventh play 1757 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 1: of a drive and he's thrown a pass for the 1758 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 1: first time, this is a very good take. I don't 1759 01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,720 Speaker 1: have any numbers to back this up, unfortunately, it's just 1760 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 1: something I've noticed. But this is that you've noticed that, 1761 01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:42,760 Speaker 1: so you've noticed that from him too. 1762 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 2: It anecdotally it sounds great. Also, I'm sorry they're showing 1763 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 2: Brady on this TV right now. Oh yeah, And my 1764 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 2: favorite part of this entire thing is just watch Stacy 1765 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:56,760 Speaker 2: the whole time, just panicking that the second half is 1766 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,360 Speaker 2: about to start and they need to get off Brady 1767 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,439 Speaker 2: off the field, and CBS is just like refusing to 1768 01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,080 Speaker 2: get him off the field. I will get he was 1769 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,840 Speaker 2: just on the screen and I we both love Stacey. 1770 01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 2: It's hilarious to watch him just like be like, we 1771 01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,960 Speaker 2: gotta go, we gotta go, you gotta go. We'll get 1772 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:14,360 Speaker 2: to Brady in a second. I do want to end 1773 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,320 Speaker 2: the show with our takes on on the on the 1774 01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:20,640 Speaker 2: Brady stuff. Uh, it's a really anecdotally. I feel like 1775 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,400 Speaker 2: you're right. So I don't even I don't have any 1776 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:23,000 Speaker 2: numbers either. 1777 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what the numbers would be to back 1778 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,120 Speaker 1: that up, because his is him throwing a lot of passes. 1779 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't like, Yeah, it could be it was intermittent early 1780 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 1: and now they're behind so they have no choice but 1781 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 1: to throw. But like, I feel like he needs to 1782 01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 1: get in a rhythm. And when he gets in a rhythm, 1783 01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:40,759 Speaker 1: and it makes sense with all those kind of short 1784 01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:42,800 Speaker 1: crossing patterns, yeah, it's all very repeatable. 1785 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,840 Speaker 2: He throws that. So they want him and this is 1786 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,719 Speaker 2: the challenge and what what made that game so good 1787 01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,720 Speaker 2: against the Chargers was that he wants to throw the 1788 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,600 Speaker 2: inbreakers to the middle of the field right, so a 1789 01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,040 Speaker 2: lot like Mac Jones in that sense, crossing routes, dig rats, 1790 01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,559 Speaker 2: slant routes like that's too a, that's that's his bread 1791 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 2: and butter. What made this game unique against the Chargers, 1792 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,120 Speaker 2: and I know that I've kind of gushed about to 1793 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 2: it today, but he was really freaking good in this game. 1794 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,120 Speaker 2: What made him really good in this game was the 1795 01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 2: fact that he was able to come off the crossers 1796 01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 2: and off the slants and hit the second and third 1797 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 2: read in the progression just as well as he normally 1798 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,680 Speaker 2: hits the slants right like he he made a throw. 1799 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:26,839 Speaker 2: I know, Ben Solak like broke it down on Twitter 1800 01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 2: where they take away the incut and he comes off 1801 01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 2: the incut and hits a wheel to Tyreek kill on 1802 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 2: the second reads. 1803 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,280 Speaker 1: Well, the other thing about is he's this has been 1804 01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 1: my long standing take onto it. You know this he 1805 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 1: essentially had to relearn how to throw a football because 1806 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,360 Speaker 1: he hit injury. I feel like he's kind of gotten there. 1807 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:44,439 Speaker 2: I feel like he threw the ball with as much 1808 01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 2: zip on it as I've ever seen him throw. 1809 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm saying, Like he people don't realize 1810 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,679 Speaker 1: he had to rebuild his mechanics from the ground up, 1811 01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:55,240 Speaker 1: like in the NFL. That is a massive task. Yeah, 1812 01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:56,880 Speaker 1: he was really good in this game, and I feel 1813 01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:57,920 Speaker 1: like he's kind of gotten there. 1814 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,679 Speaker 2: So that's the thing with two. But the reason why 1815 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 2: I love your take so much is because that's the 1816 01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:08,160 Speaker 2: type of thing that Bill will notice if Bill notices 1817 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:13,920 Speaker 2: to Bill's great at noticing one, Like where's your heat map? Like, 1818 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,160 Speaker 2: where's like the hot areas of the field that you 1819 01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,080 Speaker 2: love throwing to, like a like a batter in baseball? Right, 1820 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,720 Speaker 2: where do I pitch to you? So with Tua, he's 1821 01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 2: gonna take away the middle of the field. We can 1822 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:26,679 Speaker 2: guarantee that he's gonna take away the middle of the field, 1823 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,120 Speaker 2: and he's gonna take away Tyreek Hill, and he's gonna 1824 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,639 Speaker 2: he's gonna be he's gonna force you to play left handed 1825 01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,320 Speaker 2: from that perspective, and or should say right handed. I 1826 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,000 Speaker 2: guess he's going to force two to play right handed 1827 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 2: in that respect. He's not gonna let him throw the slants. 1828 01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 2: He's not gonna let him throw the crosses. He's not 1829 01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:44,920 Speaker 2: gonna let him throw to number ten, Like that's gonna 1830 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:51,519 Speaker 2: be the game plan. So that take you just had 1831 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 2: is like something that Bill would notice too, in the 1832 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 2: sense that, well, if we if we don't let him 1833 01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,720 Speaker 2: throw the ball early and we like it, make him 1834 01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,560 Speaker 2: handed off or we take I would like, well, I 1835 01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 2: almost wonder if they take the ball now, you know 1836 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 2: what I mean, like if we keep them cold. 1837 01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:10,200 Speaker 1: It's not even that it's like because it's not so 1838 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 1: much like going to the bench and all that. I 1839 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:12,000 Speaker 1: guess maybe it is. 1840 01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1841 01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:13,200 Speaker 1: I just feel like. 1842 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,599 Speaker 2: If he's probably ways to keep them cold. 1843 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:17,439 Speaker 1: He's probably not alone in this. But it's more like 1844 01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:21,280 Speaker 1: if they go run run now it's third and eight, Yeah, 1845 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 1: I feel like that versus like if he threw the 1846 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:28,560 Speaker 1: first two right, that kind of thing, right, And I 1847 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,880 Speaker 1: wonder if you just you basically don't it's it's their offense. 1848 01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,040 Speaker 1: I know people are gonna hate this take because it's 1849 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,800 Speaker 1: all complex and you know, cutting edge whatever. It's a 1850 01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 1: little repetitive from the quarterback position. Like you said, it's 1851 01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 1: just it's slant incut, slant in cut, and it's three 1852 01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:48,760 Speaker 1: step back foot throw, three step back Mechanically mentally there's 1853 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 1: a lot going on, but for the quarterback in that offense, 1854 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,360 Speaker 1: it's very mechanically repetitive. I think when you so, maybe 1855 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,400 Speaker 1: this is more about the offense than it is two. Yeah, 1856 01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: I guess I kind of talked through this take here. 1857 01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,280 Speaker 1: I think that if you let him get into that rhythm, 1858 01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna start feeling it and it just sort of becomes. 1859 01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:08,720 Speaker 2: Well, second, interesting to see what they do, because I 1860 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:10,439 Speaker 2: think that there's like a bunch of different ways you 1861 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,560 Speaker 2: could obviously go about it. But like if the Patriots 1862 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,639 Speaker 2: empty the box and ask them to run the ball, 1863 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 2: that would be one sign. If the Patriots come after 1864 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,680 Speaker 2: him early, I think that's another sign of like, let's 1865 01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:24,040 Speaker 2: rattle him, let's get him off his game early by 1866 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 2: pressuring them. That's another sign that that maybe they feel 1867 01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,120 Speaker 2: the same way. And I also wonder about like mcdaniels's 1868 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:35,559 Speaker 2: McDaniels McDaniels uh script, Like does he does he throw early? 1869 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 2: Like they're a pretty aggressive throwing team. They Yeah, so 1870 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 2: that you know Daniel does want to run? Yeah, you 1871 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,640 Speaker 2: know those stats that are like you know, over expected, 1872 01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:46,400 Speaker 2: like how often they throw the ball and downs and 1873 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 2: distances over expected. He pulls his eyes. 1874 01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:50,200 Speaker 1: Uh, stupid. 1875 01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,559 Speaker 2: They're they're always like near the top of the league 1876 01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 2: and the so so it's like Buffalo Kansas City like teams. 1877 01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:57,960 Speaker 1: Well and especially like if they don't have most are 1878 01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:01,080 Speaker 1: even more reason for them to keep it in here. 1879 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,320 Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to the calls. It's Forward 1880 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:04,920 Speaker 2: in Georgia. What's up Forward? 1881 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 8: Hey, alex Evan, how are you guys doing. I love 1882 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,800 Speaker 8: the podcast first time callers following in. 1883 01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:17,160 Speaker 6: Heaven. 1884 01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:21,200 Speaker 8: You know what, keep on bringing those truth bombs. Man, 1885 01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,800 Speaker 8: you just say what do you see? Because that's what 1886 01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,280 Speaker 8: I like. So don't let the beast get you down. 1887 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 2: We'll do Mike. 1888 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:36,280 Speaker 8: Here's the take. So your podcast is fabulous. That's you know, 1889 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 8: the micro This is kind of a macro take. We've 1890 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:43,920 Speaker 8: had great continuity on defense a few the past few years, 1891 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:49,360 Speaker 8: and we've had pretty good continuity on offense disregarding the 1892 01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 8: offensive coordinator. Once of the players have been together, what 1893 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:57,960 Speaker 8: do you guys think about this team being kind of 1894 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:01,240 Speaker 8: like a basketball player where they need to see a 1895 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:02,200 Speaker 8: shot and go in. 1896 01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:06,639 Speaker 6: You get over the hump. Yeah, if they could just 1897 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:11,040 Speaker 6: win one game like they played last Sunday, just win 1898 01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:13,559 Speaker 6: one of those games leveling up. 1899 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,760 Speaker 1: Well, that's a really good take that be. 1900 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,200 Speaker 2: Thanks for the call for it. Appreciate you listening as well. Yeah, 1901 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, the floodgates opening, Yeah, right, like 1902 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 2: you hit one and then all of a sudden, you 1903 01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 2: hit a million. I get them. 1904 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:24,760 Speaker 1: That was literally, I mean I'm sitting up on the 1905 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,519 Speaker 1: because I'm like formulating the stuff this game goes on. 1906 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,080 Speaker 1: That was gonna be my take if they won, was 1907 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:30,160 Speaker 1: they finally saw one go in and now let's like 1908 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:32,360 Speaker 1: they've done it, they know they can do it. I 1909 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,599 Speaker 1: think that would have been massive, And I think there 1910 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,720 Speaker 1: is something to that. The problem is, is it by 1911 01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,599 Speaker 1: the time that happens is going to be too little, 1912 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,439 Speaker 1: too late. Yeah, you know, if they win that first 1913 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 1: such game in week ten, right and they're four and six, right, 1914 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,000 Speaker 1: like Nicole, all right, but it's gonna matter if they 1915 01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,360 Speaker 1: do it this week. Yeah, I think that there's absolutely 1916 01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:54,040 Speaker 1: something to that. 1917 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:55,880 Speaker 2: I think that's the other part of Yeah, I'm glad 1918 01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:57,160 Speaker 2: you kind of put it that way, because I think 1919 01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,679 Speaker 2: that's another part about my frustration overall with the team 1920 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:04,280 Speaker 2: is their first month of the schedule now just got 1921 01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,320 Speaker 2: easier because of what happened in New York, right, But 1922 01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 2: their first month of the schedule is tough. Yeah, it's 1923 01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 2: super hard. So I knew coming into this first month 1924 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 2: that if they were gonna have a season, they were 1925 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,360 Speaker 2: gonna have to come out hot, like they were gonna 1926 01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,920 Speaker 2: have to come out and at least stay afloat and 1927 01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:22,000 Speaker 2: tread water in the first month of the year. Now 1928 01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,280 Speaker 2: they're already go in one, and you just worry, like, 1929 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,960 Speaker 2: all right, maybe the Jets game now obviously looks a 1930 01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,120 Speaker 2: lot easier, and I'm not ready to just hand them 1931 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:31,760 Speaker 2: a wa against the Jets, I'm not, but I think 1932 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,120 Speaker 2: that that's a game they should be favored in now. 1933 01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 2: But like one in three to me, with like three 1934 01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,720 Speaker 2: competitive games and I said, no moral victories, but like 1935 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:45,200 Speaker 2: three competitive games against Miami, the Cowboys, and the Eagles 1936 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,400 Speaker 2: obviously already happened. Then I suppose that that's like at 1937 01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,840 Speaker 2: least staying that's treading water, but really, like to tread 1938 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 2: truly tread water, you gotta go to and two you 1939 01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 2: got one. 1940 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:58,680 Speaker 1: Yes, So I know people hate this staty. This is 1941 01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 1: like the ultimate negative. Gonna give the ultimate negative take now, 1942 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:05,400 Speaker 1: because anytime an NFL team loses its first game, you 1943 01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:08,240 Speaker 1: hear that to two thing right, and its fans roll 1944 01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:11,280 Speaker 1: their eyes. So last year, the Bengals actually made the 1945 01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,519 Speaker 1: playoffs after going oh and two. They were the first 1946 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:17,200 Speaker 1: team to do it since twenty eighteen. The other there 1947 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,160 Speaker 1: were five other teams that went oh and two. Their 1948 01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,400 Speaker 1: average wins for the season was just over six. If 1949 01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,559 Speaker 1: you throw in the Colts and Texans who started one 1950 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:31,240 Speaker 1: and one, that win average drops below six games. So 1951 01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,679 Speaker 1: that I feel like that takes off and framed wrong. 1952 01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 1: It's not to say if you start oh and too 1953 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: you can't make the playoffs. You can. But like the 1954 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:44,280 Speaker 1: Bengals weren't an O and two team. We knew who 1955 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 1: they were. It's not if you start oh and two 1956 01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,880 Speaker 1: you can't make the playoffs. It's an zero and two 1957 01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:53,000 Speaker 1: start is indicative of a team that's not good enough. 1958 01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,360 Speaker 1: And that's where the concern comes in. It's not it 1959 01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,639 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's it's locked in. But we're talking about 1960 01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:01,840 Speaker 1: again team like Cincinnati last year, who had been to 1961 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,639 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. We knew who they were. I don't 1962 01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 1: think too many people were applying that zero to two 1963 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:08,240 Speaker 1: thing to them because we knew they could dig out 1964 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:10,479 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, if this team starts oh and two, 1965 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:13,400 Speaker 1: it might just be a sign that that's the team 1966 01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 1: they are. 1967 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, especially against good teams right like, because they're 1968 01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:20,320 Speaker 2: not playing cupcakes except maybe Zach Welson and the Jets. 1969 01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:22,880 Speaker 2: A couple more things and then we have a couple 1970 01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:24,479 Speaker 2: one more call than I do want to rap with 1971 01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:26,920 Speaker 2: the Brady stuff. I do want to talk a little 1972 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 2: bit more about the defense on Sunday and just are 1973 01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:30,800 Speaker 2: kind of spin it for We talked a lot about 1974 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,320 Speaker 2: how they match up against Miami, which was good and 1975 01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,160 Speaker 2: all that, but a Christian Zales and his debut, I'm 1976 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 2: just going to kind of go rapid fire through a 1977 01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:41,000 Speaker 2: couple guys, the plan and all that kind of stuff. 1978 01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,400 Speaker 2: I wrote about that and after further review and our 1979 01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,559 Speaker 2: film review a weekly piece, if you want to go 1980 01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:48,600 Speaker 2: and look at how exactly they did it from like 1981 01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:52,400 Speaker 2: a schematics perspective. But I thought, really what this game 1982 01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:56,959 Speaker 2: made me most excited about defensively was they had Unlike offense, 1983 01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:59,920 Speaker 2: they actually have individual players that I think are move 1984 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 2: the needle for them defensively. Christian Gonzalez, I know, he 1985 01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:06,280 Speaker 2: gave up seven catches in this game to a J 1986 01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:09,799 Speaker 2: Brown but they were all short of the shorter variety. 1987 01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:11,960 Speaker 2: He didn't give up a single deep ball and give 1988 01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:14,640 Speaker 2: up a single run after catch play. 1989 01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:15,760 Speaker 1: Like none of that kind of and he came up 1990 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: and tackled. 1991 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:18,439 Speaker 2: I thought he played fantastic in this game. 1992 01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 1: I did for what it was like if he's playing 1993 01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:25,799 Speaker 1: that way in three years, Yeah, for his first career game. Yeah, 1994 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: with what I think the plan was probably don't get 1995 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:29,919 Speaker 1: beat deep if they make if they throw it underneath, 1996 01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:31,640 Speaker 1: just step up, make that and against the receiver like 1997 01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:33,559 Speaker 1: a J. Brown take that. 1998 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:34,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1999 01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Christian Zalez was very good in this game. 2000 01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:38,760 Speaker 1: I was excited about it. I don't think he was 2001 01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:39,679 Speaker 1: their best rookie though. 2002 01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 2: Okay, I was going to get to maybe who I 2003 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 2: think you think were you going in order the draft? Yes, yeah, 2004 01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 2: with Christian Gonzales. Just and then we'll move on to 2005 01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,720 Speaker 2: the next one. Christian Goannzalez. What I liked so much 2006 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:55,439 Speaker 2: about his game was the tackling. Yeah, yeah, that was 2007 01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:58,040 Speaker 2: a concern coming in with his physicality. I he didn't 2008 01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 2: really want to go there after the game, but I 2009 01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,920 Speaker 2: think that you could tell that he wants. He knows 2010 01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:04,920 Speaker 2: that that was the knock was that he wasn't a 2011 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:08,639 Speaker 2: physical guy and he couldn't tackle very well that Georgia game, right, 2012 01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,360 Speaker 2: like yeah, all that kind of stuff that was the 2013 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:15,600 Speaker 2: knock and this game. Aj Brown is one of the 2014 01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:16,840 Speaker 2: best yack receivers in the league. 2015 01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 1: And physically, I mean specimen yeah, Yeah, He's not a 2016 01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna run around, he's gonna run through it. 2017 01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was able to tackle m I think 2018 01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:27,320 Speaker 2: that maybe other than the fourth down pass breakup, which 2019 01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:30,280 Speaker 2: was great, he made a tackle on aj Brown coming 2020 01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 2: across the field on third down where aj Brown had 2021 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:35,360 Speaker 2: like a step on him coming across and he was 2022 01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,280 Speaker 2: able to close and make the tackle well short of 2023 01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:37,679 Speaker 2: the sticks. 2024 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:38,040 Speaker 8: Yeah. 2025 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,840 Speaker 2: That play there, I was like, that's a play that 2026 01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:44,280 Speaker 2: if you asked a scout coming into the draft and 2027 01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,719 Speaker 2: you said AJ Brown is going to have a step 2028 01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:49,160 Speaker 2: on Christian Gonzalez coming across the field on like third 2029 01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:52,200 Speaker 2: and nine at like third at like six yards of depth, 2030 01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 2: is it going to be a first down? Every scout 2031 01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:58,160 Speaker 2: would say yes, yeah, every scout. And he made the tackle, 2032 01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 2: and I think that's a really good sign of a 2033 01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:05,320 Speaker 2: play that he probably was told he can't make by 2034 01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,000 Speaker 2: a lot of the scouts. And people like us, and 2035 01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:09,760 Speaker 2: that he did make in the game, and that was 2036 01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:12,360 Speaker 2: the most encouraging thing to me from that game. I 2037 01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 2: knew he could cover the deep ball. I knew he 2038 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,960 Speaker 2: would stay a decent you know, tightness, closeness to the receivers, 2039 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,320 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But being able to come 2040 01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:24,360 Speaker 2: up and make that tackle was huge. So you thought 2041 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,040 Speaker 2: the best rookie in this game was Keon White, Yeah, I. 2042 01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,240 Speaker 1: Mean he was awesome. He was You look at what 2043 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:35,720 Speaker 1: he's doing to Lane Johnson. He is bull rushing Lane Johnson. Yeah, 2044 01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,080 Speaker 1: it's he looks like he's been in the league five years. Yeah, 2045 01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,160 Speaker 1: there's no rookie element. And he was a huge part 2046 01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 1: of their rush plan against Jalen Hurts. He executed his 2047 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,400 Speaker 1: plan at a high level. You know, he's he was 2048 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 1: a problem. He was a problem in the Eagles back. 2049 01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:52,360 Speaker 2: Bed four pressures in twenty three snaps, which is an 2050 01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:53,640 Speaker 2: insane run outstand. 2051 01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:57,560 Speaker 1: I I'm way too excited for what he's going to 2052 01:34:57,600 --> 01:34:59,320 Speaker 1: be cut and that's in his first game. He's gonna 2053 01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,360 Speaker 1: get better. Yeah, I'm way too excited for what he 2054 01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,160 Speaker 1: can be. I they have a real guy here. 2055 01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,680 Speaker 2: They need to play him as much as possible. And 2056 01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:07,760 Speaker 2: I don't mean to like say like, oh, let's throw 2057 01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:10,040 Speaker 2: the rookie into seventy snaps a game, Like if they 2058 01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 2: don't feel like he's ready, I feel like he's ready, 2059 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:15,599 Speaker 2: then you play him in the situation he looks ready. Yeah, 2060 01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:17,639 Speaker 2: I think what what stands out about him? 2061 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:19,680 Speaker 1: Look right here is we're watching this and they have 2062 01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:21,439 Speaker 1: the game on it. Right. 2063 01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 2: So he won four times in the past rush. Two 2064 01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,559 Speaker 2: of them were with power just speed to power bowl 2065 01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:31,280 Speaker 2: rush one on each tackle. Uh. Then he won with 2066 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:33,200 Speaker 2: an inside out move which I've seen him use in 2067 01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,920 Speaker 2: practice and it's filthy. Uh just you know, a jude On, 2068 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,240 Speaker 2: It's a Judon move. He put fakes outside, comes back. 2069 01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:42,000 Speaker 1: Real quick pause. What do you think of that move 2070 01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:44,600 Speaker 1: that Miles Garrett pulled where he does like the basketball 2071 01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 1: came across. 2072 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:49,080 Speaker 2: I know he's he's he's a Miles Garrett's an alien 2073 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,800 Speaker 2: like Miles Garrett does not move like other people do. So, yeah, 2074 01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:54,400 Speaker 2: he won with that. Then he won with speed around 2075 01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:58,720 Speaker 2: the corner to speed rip around the corner. He he 2076 01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:01,519 Speaker 2: made it look easy like he really did. He may 2077 01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:04,800 Speaker 2: look easy and not only did I I really not 2078 01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:08,160 Speaker 2: only is he just relentless, but the recovery talent to 2079 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,080 Speaker 2: like plant his foot in the ground and then go 2080 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,519 Speaker 2: chase Jalen Hurts. After Jalen Hurts, you know, leaves the pocket. 2081 01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:14,760 Speaker 2: That's rare. 2082 01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:17,120 Speaker 1: Like look, I know you just said nobody moves like 2083 01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,479 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and I'm not comparing him to Miles Garrett, 2084 01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:22,040 Speaker 1: but like this isn't He doesn't move like you expect 2085 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:23,800 Speaker 1: a sixty five, two hundred and ninety pound got to move. 2086 01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,479 Speaker 2: It's the change of direction for that really stands out. 2087 01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,800 Speaker 2: Like the play that he bowl rushes mylotta. Yeah, and 2088 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,840 Speaker 2: then he's able to kind of recover and change directions 2089 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:36,719 Speaker 2: to then get Hurts up into the sideline. That's something 2090 01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:40,200 Speaker 2: that their defensive line has been missing. Like Judean and 2091 01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 2: ouj and bar More can get downhill better than like 2092 01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:48,120 Speaker 2: a lot of guys, but they then they lose contained right, 2093 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:49,800 Speaker 2: Like they don't recover as quickly as he. 2094 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:51,559 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. You talk about getting 2095 01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:53,040 Speaker 1: him on the field more, and how do you do that? 2096 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:53,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? 2097 01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:56,719 Speaker 1: Can he makes some of this work as an interior rusher? 2098 01:36:57,120 --> 01:36:58,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? I would hope so, because that would be the 2099 01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:01,040 Speaker 2: next step. I I think that with his hand in 2100 01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:03,920 Speaker 2: the dirt. He crossed his face so quickly that he's 2101 01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,280 Speaker 2: going to be really a problem with guards. 2102 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:07,880 Speaker 1: Doesn't even need to be hand in the dirty. You 2103 01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 1: could stand them up right, Yeah, we know they do that. 2104 01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:12,400 Speaker 1: My point being like, do you think they can get 2105 01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:14,000 Speaker 1: to the point And I know that they like to 2106 01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:17,320 Speaker 1: put more guys back in these obvious passing situations, But 2107 01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,840 Speaker 1: where you have a pass rush group of Jude on 2108 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,600 Speaker 1: and on the edge in Barmore and Keon White in 2109 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:25,040 Speaker 1: the middle, do you think that's something they can functionally 2110 01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:28,360 Speaker 1: build because if they do, yeah, I mean, it'd be 2111 01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:28,880 Speaker 1: pretty fun. 2112 01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:29,280 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2113 01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:31,519 Speaker 2: I do wonder if, like you know, you've used like 2114 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,240 Speaker 2: the Trey Flowers like type of role comparison. I do 2115 01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:38,280 Speaker 2: wonder at one point do they put Keon White at 2116 01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:41,120 Speaker 2: the nose in that five rush package, you know, five 2117 01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:44,400 Speaker 2: zero rush package that they use in that way that 2118 01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,320 Speaker 2: they had like four guys standing up around Trey Flowers 2119 01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:48,960 Speaker 2: and it was just Trey Flowers of his hand in 2120 01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:49,320 Speaker 2: the well. 2121 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,679 Speaker 1: But couldn't you do that with bar more You could 2122 01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:53,599 Speaker 1: and then have wipey one of the guys that's standing up. 2123 01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,880 Speaker 2: You could, Yeah, yeah, any of that would be great. 2124 01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:57,880 Speaker 1: I think all of that would be I just if 2125 01:37:57,920 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 1: you can find a guy to get the find a 2126 01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:00,800 Speaker 1: way to get those four guys on the field in 2127 01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,760 Speaker 1: a pass rush situation, I mean, you can really do. So. 2128 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,639 Speaker 2: It's one of the better fronts in the league. Yeah, 2129 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:08,080 Speaker 2: I've been saying that all along about the Patriots defensive front. 2130 01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,400 Speaker 2: They have one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL. 2131 01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:14,080 Speaker 2: I don't think you know, Niners, Cowboys, Eagles like those 2132 01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:17,080 Speaker 2: teams might have them beat. But other than that, I'd 2133 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:20,080 Speaker 2: probably take their front over everybody else. It's top five 2134 01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,400 Speaker 2: in my opinion. All Right, So he talked about ke 2135 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:24,759 Speaker 2: Why we talked about Marty Mapu earlier in the show. 2136 01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:30,559 Speaker 2: I do want to give Jawan Bentley his flowers, really 2137 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 2: really good Juwan Bentley game. He's he's just a good 2138 01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:39,599 Speaker 2: football player. He's just so good at taking on blocks 2139 01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:43,280 Speaker 2: and condensing space in the running game. I really feel 2140 01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:48,160 Speaker 2: like his development as a player and how fast he 2141 01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:51,719 Speaker 2: plays now compared to how he early on in his career. 2142 01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,280 Speaker 2: Like he could always hit, he could always come downhill, 2143 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,400 Speaker 2: but sometimes he looked like his feet were in cement right, 2144 01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,679 Speaker 2: Like he looked like his feet were stuck he's such 2145 01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:04,599 Speaker 2: a more explosive, like just flexible player then he then 2146 01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:06,960 Speaker 2: he used to be. I really give him a lot 2147 01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,160 Speaker 2: of credit. He's he's gotten so much better over the 2148 01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,320 Speaker 2: course of his career. I played a great game in 2149 01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:16,280 Speaker 2: this one. Uh is there anybody else? Si Jabriel Peppers. 2150 01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:18,639 Speaker 1: Pepper, Yeah, yeah, he's going to be a player this year. 2151 01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:22,800 Speaker 1: Miles Bryant. I thought playing a good game, which again 2152 01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:24,840 Speaker 1: it's that thing I've been talking about. Don't well. So 2153 01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,200 Speaker 1: it didn't start well because they'd a manning up Quez Watkins, 2154 01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:28,360 Speaker 1: which he can't do well. 2155 01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:30,040 Speaker 2: It was zone but yeah, okay, but. 2156 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,080 Speaker 1: Like, let him play a deeper zone, come up diagnose 2157 01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 1: like I meant that tackle and aj Brown. 2158 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:38,800 Speaker 2: He should be able to play the flat like it was. Okay, 2159 01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:40,080 Speaker 2: it was our p but you get what. 2160 01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:42,479 Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, like, just let him let 2161 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:45,000 Speaker 1: him diagnose rather than chase. When you let him do that, 2162 01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:46,160 Speaker 1: he actually does make plays. 2163 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,280 Speaker 2: All right, let's take the call from Patty. Who's Who's 2164 01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:51,639 Speaker 2: had some good emails this week, Patty, some some interesting emails. 2165 01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:52,559 Speaker 2: How you doing, Patty? 2166 01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:57,960 Speaker 5: What's going on? Guys? Not much so I haven't listen. 2167 01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,880 Speaker 5: I wasn't really coming after you the other day when 2168 01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:04,040 Speaker 5: I emailed in, my whole point was, like the last 2169 01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:08,639 Speaker 5: few years, I know, the end result was they didn't 2170 01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:11,479 Speaker 5: get it done, and against good teams they haven't gotten 2171 01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,439 Speaker 5: it done. But I think just comparing the last year 2172 01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:17,400 Speaker 5: what I saw them do, Like, I think if this 2173 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,400 Speaker 5: was last year and they were down sixteen to nothing, 2174 01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,439 Speaker 5: I would have just I would have been pulling my 2175 01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:23,880 Speaker 5: hair out that they're gonna end up getting beat forty 2176 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:25,599 Speaker 5: five to nothing or forty five to ten. 2177 01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:26,000 Speaker 10: In this game. 2178 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:30,920 Speaker 5: But you know, I did see some improvement. I thought, 2179 01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:34,519 Speaker 5: even though like Mac got the ball out quick, the 2180 01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,040 Speaker 5: fact that they started those two rookies, and those two 2181 01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:40,760 Speaker 5: rookies also went up against those monsters on the defensive 2182 01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:44,240 Speaker 5: line they played, I think everybody played a pretty good 2183 01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:46,320 Speaker 5: game as far as like the offensive line. 2184 01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:48,719 Speaker 2: Okay, I got to push back on that a little bit, Patty, 2185 01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,040 Speaker 2: like their rookies in their first screw starts, I'm not 2186 01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:54,640 Speaker 2: going to kill them, but keep going, keep going. I 2187 01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:55,080 Speaker 2: don't want to. 2188 01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:58,840 Speaker 5: And Mac, you're right. Mac has to play sixteen minutes, 2189 01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:01,920 Speaker 5: has to play six minute game, can't play thirty minutes. 2190 01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:07,080 Speaker 5: He can't play fifteen minutes and expect to win, but 2191 01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:09,800 Speaker 5: you know that that's done and over week one is done. 2192 01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:13,920 Speaker 5: I don't have a good feeling about this game. When 2193 01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:17,679 Speaker 5: I looked at the injury report, I'm just like, come on, man, 2194 01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 5: like that we're already having offensive line lows now, our 2195 01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:25,560 Speaker 5: starting left tackle, our starting center, and the rookie that 2196 01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:28,200 Speaker 5: they had what was so playing right guard. He's that 2197 01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:29,200 Speaker 5: they're not going to play. 2198 01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:31,040 Speaker 10: I could see. 2199 01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:36,519 Speaker 5: I could see a scenario, honestly where they just there's 2200 01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:40,360 Speaker 5: too many turnovers and kind of like how they began 2201 01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:44,800 Speaker 5: the game last week, where it's just they turned the 2202 01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,120 Speaker 5: ball over a couple of times, Miami gets a few 2203 01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:49,840 Speaker 5: quick scores and it's over because they can't block it. 2204 01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 5: And and I don't think Miami's defense is great by 2205 01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:54,880 Speaker 5: any stretch of the imagination. I think Christian Wilkins is 2206 01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:55,640 Speaker 5: a beast. 2207 01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:56,200 Speaker 3: But. 2208 01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,639 Speaker 5: Forget about it. You're can't block them, You're not gonna 2209 01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:05,040 Speaker 5: freaking win, You're not gonna move the ball. I think 2210 01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:07,040 Speaker 5: the Dolphins are one in this game. And I hate 2211 01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:09,760 Speaker 5: to say, because they're my NFL Yankees, I hate them. 2212 01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,920 Speaker 5: They're they're my least favorite sports team, even more so 2213 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:17,080 Speaker 5: than the Yankees, even more so than the Lakers. That's 2214 01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:17,679 Speaker 5: all I got. 2215 01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,040 Speaker 2: Thanks mate, thanks for the call. I didn't mean. I 2216 01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,599 Speaker 2: don't want to trash the rookies because it's their first 2217 01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:27,120 Speaker 2: career start. They're they're thrown into a tough situation. But 2218 01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,559 Speaker 2: to categorize Mafi and so is playing well in that 2219 01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:32,360 Speaker 2: game is not really telling the truths. 2220 01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:34,800 Speaker 1: They played better than expectations. It doesn't mean they played well. 2221 01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:36,600 Speaker 1: That's kind of how I put it. I actually I 2222 01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:39,479 Speaker 1: texted you the number yard sday was it they ran for? 2223 01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:42,200 Speaker 1: I think it was one point three yards per carry 2224 01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:45,679 Speaker 1: between guards? Like, that's not they gave it done. 2225 01:42:45,720 --> 01:42:48,360 Speaker 2: The two of them gave up twelve pressures between the 2226 01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:48,720 Speaker 2: two of them. 2227 01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:51,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, twelve twelve pressures one point three yards per carry. Look, 2228 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:53,760 Speaker 1: they didn't get mac Jones killed, and I think that's 2229 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:57,120 Speaker 1: kind of what the expectation was enough. So they played 2230 01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:59,080 Speaker 1: better than that, and that's kind of the story of 2231 01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,480 Speaker 1: a lot of things with the team's better than expectations. 2232 01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:02,479 Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean it was good. 2233 01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:05,360 Speaker 2: Okay, so uh good, good way to end it. On 2234 01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:09,280 Speaker 2: the offensive line and then the Brady stuff offensive line, 2235 01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:12,920 Speaker 2: What are we looking at on Sunday for this offensive line? 2236 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:16,240 Speaker 2: Assuming that the injuries hold. 2237 01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:20,680 Speaker 1: I understand there all five like, like what are we 2238 01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:21,120 Speaker 1: talking about? 2239 01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,800 Speaker 2: We can talk about, but I understand where Patty's coming from, 2240 01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:25,599 Speaker 2: where everybody's coming from, that they look at the injuries 2241 01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,479 Speaker 2: of the offensive line and it's it's concerning. And I 2242 01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:32,080 Speaker 2: picked the Dolphins in the game, but overall, in terms 2243 01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:34,960 Speaker 2: of like the competitiveness of the game and keeping it close, 2244 01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,759 Speaker 2: I actually am not overly concerned with the offensive line 2245 01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:42,000 Speaker 2: because I really was impressed by how O'Brien and mack 2246 01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:45,160 Speaker 2: was were able to manage it on Sunday, and I 2247 01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,120 Speaker 2: don't think that this Dolphins front is as good as 2248 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:48,040 Speaker 2: the one they just went up there. 2249 01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:49,600 Speaker 1: So I think that's a really good way to put it, 2250 01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,040 Speaker 1: because what scares me about this offensive line they can 2251 01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:54,280 Speaker 1: As we were watching the game, Kendrick Bourne takes off. 2252 01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,479 Speaker 1: He's so good that hidden plan last year. 2253 01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:00,720 Speaker 2: He won't let that go and I appreciate it. 2254 01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:03,599 Speaker 1: Kv's my guy. I've said this for you. I will 2255 01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,840 Speaker 1: find a spot for Kendrick Born on my team any day. 2256 01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 1: Guy like on and off the field, just what he thinks. Okay, 2257 01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:11,920 Speaker 1: it's not so much that I'm worried about Mac Jones 2258 01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:14,519 Speaker 1: being under pressure because he handled pressure well last week, 2259 01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:16,559 Speaker 1: and like you just said, the big thing, they'll scheme 2260 01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:20,639 Speaker 1: around it. Yeah, it's that fourth and three that you hated, right, Yeah, 2261 01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:22,559 Speaker 1: why did that fourth and three happen? Because on third 2262 01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:24,160 Speaker 1: and three they tried to I don't know if it 2263 01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:26,360 Speaker 1: was technically half back dive, but like they went between 2264 01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:28,759 Speaker 1: the guards with the Zegiel Elliot, he got stonewalled. Yeah, 2265 01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 1: that is my biggest concern with the offensive line. When 2266 01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:34,879 Speaker 1: you need a yard to three yards, can the offensive 2267 01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:37,600 Speaker 1: line and lie you to get that conventionally? Are you 2268 01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:39,400 Speaker 1: going to be weird? Are you gonna have to do something? 2269 01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:41,599 Speaker 1: That's what scares me more than anything else right now 2270 01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:42,479 Speaker 1: with the offensive line. 2271 01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:44,759 Speaker 2: The part of the reason why they dropped back fifty 2272 01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,200 Speaker 2: eight times is because it was sixteen to nothing out 2273 01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:49,120 Speaker 2: of the gate. But they also couldn't run the ball. 2274 01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:52,360 Speaker 1: So that, by the way, in a way credit to O'Brien, 2275 01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:54,240 Speaker 1: because last year they would not have made that adjustment. 2276 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you know, the thing that I 2277 01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:58,880 Speaker 2: like so much about O'Brien's offense is that, you know, 2278 01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 2: his quick game and his green game really operates as 2279 01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:01,960 Speaker 2: an extension of. 2280 01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:03,880 Speaker 1: The run, even though the other thing you said before, 2281 01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:06,640 Speaker 1: you point out he's not afraid if something's working to 2282 01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:09,240 Speaker 1: keep going back to it. Yeah, At the same time, 2283 01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,000 Speaker 1: and this is probably kind of the same take from 2284 01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:13,840 Speaker 1: a different angle. If something's not working, even if it's 2285 01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:17,120 Speaker 1: something he likes, he'll understand it's not working and move on. 2286 01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,000 Speaker 1: And they moved on from the run game last week. 2287 01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:22,920 Speaker 1: You can't do that every week. At a certain point, 2288 01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:24,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a third one where you just need 2289 01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:27,479 Speaker 1: a pound at home and the offensive line needs to 2290 01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:29,200 Speaker 1: allow needs to allow you to do that. 2291 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,840 Speaker 2: So for the group, Yeah, let's go over the configurations. 2292 01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,759 Speaker 1: So Trent Brown and City so aren't playing like there's 2293 01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:38,720 Speaker 1: just no way a week after concussion. I think you 2294 01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:42,080 Speaker 1: move Calvin Anderson to left tackle first and foremost. But 2295 01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:46,000 Speaker 1: what are the other offense Andrew Stuber? I think Andrew 2296 01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:49,400 Speaker 1: Steuber is the only other tackle, right, All right, well, 2297 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 1: you're moving Calvin Anderson to left tackle. 2298 01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:53,840 Speaker 2: I thought Calvin Anderson initially on my initial watch, I 2299 01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:57,040 Speaker 2: thought Calvin Anderson was fine. I watched the offensive line 2300 01:45:57,080 --> 01:46:01,080 Speaker 2: alone again and he also at a rough game. Yeah, 2301 01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:01,639 Speaker 2: keep going. 2302 01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:03,720 Speaker 1: I I think some of it too, Like guys are 2303 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:06,920 Speaker 1: they brought down by like they are all kind of 2304 01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:08,639 Speaker 1: we talk about guys elevating each other. 2305 01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:11,160 Speaker 2: A lot of it too with him, in all fairness 2306 01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 2: is like you didn't have training companies out there for 2307 01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:15,840 Speaker 2: plays on the week one in the conditioning. You know, 2308 01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,559 Speaker 2: a lot of his his bad bad reps came in 2309 01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:19,320 Speaker 2: the second half. 2310 01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,240 Speaker 1: Which makes sense. Yeah, so all right, so you have 2311 01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:24,599 Speaker 1: Callan Anderson left tackle. Let's let's let's do one. We're 2312 01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:26,599 Speaker 1: outside of Andrews. None of the guys on the injury 2313 01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:30,240 Speaker 1: report play, so you're you're still missing Cole Strange and 2314 01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:33,479 Speaker 1: Mike Winning again. I think you're going Callan Anderson, ye, 2315 01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:40,559 Speaker 1: Antonio Maffi, David Andrews. It's probably James Ferrence a right 2316 01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,360 Speaker 1: guard is a practice squad elevation over Jake Andrews. 2317 01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:44,919 Speaker 2: Right, I would think so. And then. 2318 01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:50,400 Speaker 1: In your Varian Lowe Darian low at right tackle unless 2319 01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:53,879 Speaker 1: he's not ready, in which case they probably recall Andrew stupid. 2320 01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,760 Speaker 1: I think there's a chance to get two offensive line 2321 01:46:55,800 --> 01:47:02,120 Speaker 1: recalls for this game anyway. Yeah, if honestly, it's probably 2322 01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:04,920 Speaker 1: a one for one if either of those guards return. 2323 01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:10,040 Speaker 1: Whoever returns, Mafi's in the other spot. Yep, right over Farence. 2324 01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:12,160 Speaker 2: Yep. Mafi was. 2325 01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:17,960 Speaker 1: Like, no, you didn't think so. Maybe it's just by comparison. 2326 01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:21,720 Speaker 2: Jaileen Carter, just it's Carter, but that's that's every week. 2327 01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:22,479 Speaker 2: This week it's Christian. 2328 01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:27,120 Speaker 1: That's all right, all right, it's fair point, it's fair point. Well, 2329 01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:28,799 Speaker 1: then do you think there's a chance to try Farence 2330 01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:30,639 Speaker 1: and just be like, these rookies aren't ready, we're going. 2331 01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:33,840 Speaker 2: I think believe to give him the reps and give 2332 01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:36,320 Speaker 2: him the opportunity. The way that I look at Stranger 2333 01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,400 Speaker 2: on Uh is that I think that if that was 2334 01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:43,800 Speaker 2: a post Thanksgiving game, I'm not ready to say a 2335 01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:46,679 Speaker 2: playoffs because let's fra it, you know, post Thanksgiving game. 2336 01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:49,680 Speaker 1: I think the week seventeen against the Bills last year 2337 01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:53,160 Speaker 1: winning in Okay, they play I I thought it was 2338 01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:56,840 Speaker 1: very interesting when Bill was asked about them on Wednesday, 2339 01:47:57,840 --> 01:47:59,760 Speaker 1: he said, you know, where are they gonna play? Sad 2340 01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:02,480 Speaker 1: they'll eventually. It's a really. 2341 01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:06,240 Speaker 2: Weird because I think one Bill with Bill, it's always 2342 01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,480 Speaker 2: gamesman ship, right, he doesn't want to tell the Dolphins 2343 01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:09,759 Speaker 2: anything but yeah. 2344 01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:11,760 Speaker 1: But usually he just says they're out there practicing, you know. 2345 01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:13,200 Speaker 1: With Andrew, I think the other. 2346 01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,160 Speaker 2: Way to look at it is is that that's a 2347 01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:20,960 Speaker 2: situation where it's bigger than a week two game against 2348 01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:24,120 Speaker 2: Miami and these decisions to make about the long term 2349 01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:28,559 Speaker 2: longevity of the player. But I think that my gut, 2350 01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:31,360 Speaker 2: and this is not any inside information, my gut is 2351 01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,760 Speaker 2: is that one of Stranger on when he will be 2352 01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:34,000 Speaker 2: out there. 2353 01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:35,800 Speaker 1: I feel like Strange is probably closer than when. 2354 01:48:35,960 --> 01:48:38,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if they're close and they can, it's 2355 01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:43,240 Speaker 2: ninety five percent healthy that one of those guys will 2356 01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:46,040 Speaker 2: play because they have to at this point, like they're 2357 01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:50,559 Speaker 2: desperate for bodies, let alone just the talent level being different. 2358 01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:52,240 Speaker 2: So I think one of those guys is going to 2359 01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:54,800 Speaker 2: play on Sunday. So I agree with your line. If 2360 01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:59,760 Speaker 2: nobody else plays, I think that you're probably in my 2361 01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:05,080 Speaker 2: mind looking at Calvin Anderson, Cold Strange, David andrews Antonio, 2362 01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,760 Speaker 2: Maffivederien Low from left to right. I think that on 2363 01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,200 Speaker 2: Winny Will they'll continue to hold on winning out. But 2364 01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:14,200 Speaker 2: I think Strangel will play on Sunday, just gut, not 2365 01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:16,400 Speaker 2: no inside info on that, but I just I think 2366 01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:20,479 Speaker 2: he will and really quickly. Also on the on the 2367 01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:24,479 Speaker 2: offensive line, I gave David Andrews the gold Star at 2368 01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:26,599 Speaker 2: the beginning of the show. But Trent Brown was also 2369 01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:28,439 Speaker 2: really good in that game on Sunday too, which makes 2370 01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:31,120 Speaker 2: the concussion even more of a bummer. He lost late 2371 01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:34,880 Speaker 2: on that Josh Sweat sack, but other than that, he 2372 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:37,719 Speaker 2: was he was pretty good in that game, like old 2373 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,120 Speaker 2: Trent Brown, you know, one on one pass pro on 2374 01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:43,599 Speaker 2: the backside and played really welled up, really well. So 2375 01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:46,280 Speaker 2: hopefully that has a one week concussion and he's back 2376 01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:48,679 Speaker 2: long term and it's it's nothing major to worry about, 2377 01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:51,360 Speaker 2: all right, really quickly, we got three minutes before we 2378 01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:54,680 Speaker 2: got a wrap on the Brady stuff. What what what? 2379 01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:56,439 Speaker 2: Just what was your take? Closure? 2380 01:49:57,240 --> 01:50:00,040 Speaker 1: Closure? It really it really was the thing. When he 2381 01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:02,280 Speaker 1: he left, I remember it was like, you'll get Peyton 2382 01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:05,200 Speaker 1: Manning And when's the last time Peyton Manning did anything 2383 01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:08,479 Speaker 1: remotely related to the Indianapolis Colts. And it's like that 2384 01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:10,439 Speaker 1: sucks because he's such a huge part of that franchise 2385 01:50:10,439 --> 01:50:12,400 Speaker 1: and Brady's even bigger here. It's like I don't want 2386 01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,000 Speaker 1: to lose him forever. I get he had to go 2387 01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:15,800 Speaker 1: somewhere else to play, but it's like, is he just 2388 01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:18,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a buck now and when he said, you know, 2389 01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:21,320 Speaker 1: Patriot for life and to see him in the old 2390 01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:25,360 Speaker 1: Jersey and actually do the rundown and all that and 2391 01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:29,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna come back again, and just it was it's like, 2392 01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,720 Speaker 1: all right, he's coming back, Like he's still here, He's 2393 01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:33,439 Speaker 1: still a part of this. I get we have to 2394 01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:35,080 Speaker 1: share him with Tampa. That's fine. 2395 01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:35,439 Speaker 2: I don't know. 2396 01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:37,760 Speaker 1: If we do well, that would be even better. No, 2397 01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:39,840 Speaker 1: But like he did, he won a title there. He 2398 01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:41,000 Speaker 1: there's an extent to that. 2399 01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:44,160 Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if in Brady's so I 2400 01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:47,160 Speaker 2: said at the end of the show, So what. 2401 01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:48,880 Speaker 1: We know his time in Tampa was purely transactional. 2402 01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:50,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's how he views it. 2403 01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:53,200 Speaker 1: But but there's all like when they post like you 2404 01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:55,160 Speaker 1: always see now, like the graphic of the seven Super 2405 01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:57,800 Speaker 1: Bowls and there's like the Bucks logo on it, that's 2406 01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:00,280 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like there'll always be that Tampa part 2407 01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:04,320 Speaker 1: of it, but like he's he's still the Patriot for life. 2408 01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:07,400 Speaker 1: I I is. It was it really like I texted 2409 01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:09,800 Speaker 1: like two or three friends, like all of them after that, 2410 01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:11,240 Speaker 1: and I was like that was closure, and they were 2411 01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:13,240 Speaker 1: all like, that's exactly what it is. Yeah, it was 2412 01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:16,360 Speaker 1: closure on Like rober Kraft said, we never properly got 2413 01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:19,120 Speaker 1: to say goodbye. Yeah, and I think to do that 2414 01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,160 Speaker 1: and to hear him say what he said, it felt good. 2415 01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. I said that. I was I was gonna be 2416 01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:27,839 Speaker 2: body language doctor Brady, and he passed with flying color. 2417 01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:31,599 Speaker 1: Pat body language, and like it wasn't There was no 2418 01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,559 Speaker 1: cell job, he wasn't wearing TV twelve stuff. It didn't 2419 01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:37,080 Speaker 1: feel like Hollywood, even like this is a stupid little 2420 01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,840 Speaker 1: observation that I had. His hair was like it looked 2421 01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:42,120 Speaker 1: like he just played a game. Like he looked up 2422 01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:45,439 Speaker 1: on the no like himself, him standing up you know 2423 01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:47,960 Speaker 1: because like him standing on the podium, like it gave 2424 01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,639 Speaker 1: me a little deja vu to like seeing him pictures 2425 01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,800 Speaker 1: of him on the podium after Super Bowls. It wasn't 2426 01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:54,160 Speaker 1: like because I was thinking, like, is he gonna be 2427 01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:55,680 Speaker 1: up there in a suit and he's gonna have the 2428 01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:58,680 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars haircut, and you know he's gonna talk 2429 01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:00,920 Speaker 1: about oh TV twelve now, Oh he went up there 2430 01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,960 Speaker 1: in a jersey just looking like some guy and talked 2431 01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,080 Speaker 1: about how much he loved it here. That was I 2432 01:52:06,120 --> 01:52:07,800 Speaker 1: didn't think he would do that. I thought we would 2433 01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:10,160 Speaker 1: get Corporate Tom. There was not one ounce of Corporate 2434 01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:11,599 Speaker 1: Tom involved in that. It was awesome. 2435 01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:16,519 Speaker 2: He uh he let himself, let the let the curtain 2436 01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:19,080 Speaker 2: down a little bit. Yeah, he did. He did. And 2437 01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:21,840 Speaker 2: I said, you know, I was gonna see like, was 2438 01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:26,160 Speaker 2: this like you said Corporate Tom, was this I gotta 2439 01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,000 Speaker 2: do this for mister Kraft because you know, twenty years 2440 01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:30,920 Speaker 2: of paying me, like I kind of have to do this, 2441 01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:35,200 Speaker 2: Like all right, I'll go No, this wasn't anything like that. 2442 01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:38,679 Speaker 2: And I genuinely think that, based off of his reaction 2443 01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:42,599 Speaker 2: and how he carried himself throughout the entire day, that 2444 01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:47,800 Speaker 2: he identifies as a Patriot. I think he appreciates the 2445 01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:50,720 Speaker 2: Bucks years, and he appreciates the Bucks for letting him 2446 01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 2: continue his career in the NFL post Patriots. But I 2447 01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:58,599 Speaker 2: don't think that in his mind he has really anything 2448 01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,200 Speaker 2: to do with the Bucks, if that makes sense, you know, Like, 2449 01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:04,280 Speaker 2: I don't think that he really views himself as. 2450 01:53:04,240 --> 01:53:06,160 Speaker 1: A break right and uh, I mean like I think 2451 01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:07,800 Speaker 1: he'd go back if they had like a thing. But 2452 01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,880 Speaker 1: all right, Patriots Bucks Week one, they're both playing at 2453 01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:13,400 Speaker 1: the same time. He gets invited to both he's coming back, 2454 01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:15,479 Speaker 1: He's coming here. I would think, so well, that was 2455 01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:17,160 Speaker 1: the thing. I was like, is that what he's gonna do? 2456 01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:19,280 Speaker 2: I mean, you know that when he goes into the 2457 01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:21,320 Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame game 2458 01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:24,240 Speaker 2: will be Patriots Bucks of course obviously, right yeah, and 2459 01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:24,840 Speaker 2: that'll be fun. 2460 01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:27,120 Speaker 1: Oh I I that, you know, I don't like usually 2461 01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:28,800 Speaker 1: travel with the team, but like, I've never been in 2462 01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:30,840 Speaker 1: the PROFILEB Hall of Fame. I want to go. I 2463 01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:32,519 Speaker 1: can't think of when I was growing up. But you 2464 01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:34,280 Speaker 1: say I'll go and Drew Bledsoe gets in. I'm starting 2465 01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:35,680 Speaker 1: to think that's not gonna happen. So I'll go in 2466 01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I'm saying when I was like ten, I 2467 01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:40,439 Speaker 1: used to say that that's great. 2468 01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:45,840 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, so it was great. I thought the him 2469 01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:48,519 Speaker 2: coming out on the lighthouse first and like that sort 2470 01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:52,439 Speaker 2: of being reveal was cool.

Uh, he was a Patriots 2482 01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:20,479 Speaker 1: but it wasn't. But it's even deeper than that.
