In case you missed it, we 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: got together on Friday to discuss the release that went 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: out Thursday night.

But you know, we 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: have to, I guess start off with you know what 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: happened on Thursday, and even though we did have the 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: emergency kind of we've had a little bit more time 37 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: to digest it. Now things are happening around the league 38 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: and you know, uh, Deuce is here, to Marius here, Evan, Paul, 39 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm here, Matt's in the booth. It's it's a full house. 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Got faith, don't forget about faith. Faith making addition, Faith 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: is learning the ropes in the producer room. So, um, 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: but you know, any thoughts you know, from Thursday to 43 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: now about that release? I mean, sure, I'll go No, 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm Lumberjacks come off season two, so right now I 45 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: got off season a little shave going. Um oh, A 46 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: couple of things. I mean, I I just think the 47 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is it sounds like they're going 48 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: to hire an actual offensive coordinator, and I just I 49 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: like that. You're gonna have some people coming in. I 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna be doing the whole Twitter, 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: Dog and Pony show that goes on an extensive interview process. 52 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: We decided to stay with Matt. We just uh, they 53 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: better not tweet that out. Um, but yeah, it's uh. 54 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: I just like that we talked about last week. Didn't 55 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: know if they were going to actually hire an offensive coordinator. 56 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: They're just gonna bring a guy in and kind of 57 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: shuffle the decks, you know, shuffle the jeck chairs, so 58 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: to speak. So I like that, and I like, I like, 59 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, signs pointing to Mayo being around. But I 60 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: hesitate to get too speculative on that because I mean 61 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: I did see over the weekend he turned down the 62 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: Panther's job. Reported well, the Panther's job, so yeah, Um, 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: that to me tells me he's coming. Yeah. So it 64 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: does seem like he's going to be back in what capacity. 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: That's That's kind of what we've been talking about. But 66 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: I think it's it's good news. It just seems like 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: a good way to start the offseason if you're a 68 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Patriots fan, to get all right, you know, we're gonna 69 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: keep one of your long time really value coaches and 70 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: we're actually going to get on the offensive coordinator matter. 71 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: I haven't heard from you yet him. My biggest thing 72 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: is the transparency, right, I mean, especially after last season 73 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: where there was so much ambiguity of who's calling the plays, 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: who's not, who's this, who's that, to have to actually 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: come out and say we are doing this and not 76 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: just have everyone guessing like, oh, has drawed me, I'm 77 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: going to go interview for the Browns DC job. Is 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: he gonna do this? He's gonna do that? You know, 79 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: are the Patriot's going to go after O'Brien. It's like 80 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: they're making it clear like we are going to hire someone, 81 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: we are going to do this, it's just something that 82 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have to see like all last seasons. Yeah, 83 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of guessing and now it's like, forget about 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: it all last season forever for the last twenty one years, 85 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, we've never seen anything like it. So I 86 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: just think the transparency for me, even if we don't 87 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: necessarily know precisely what's going to happen, it's like that 88 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: transparency of we are planning on doing this and starting 89 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: this next week. It's huge evan accountability and transparency, both 90 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: of them. I think finally we have some acknowledgement that 91 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: this wasn't good this past year on offense. And I 92 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: like that accountability because I felt that the Monday morning 93 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: press conference after the Bills lost with Bill Belichick, there 94 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: wasn't a ton of accountability. There was some finger pointing 95 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: I think going on there. So he finally get a 96 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: united front. This is not what is up to standard. 97 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: I like the transparency too. I think the last thing 98 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: that when I came up with the candidates list that 99 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: I posted on on Thursday night or Friday morning, every 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: other candidate besides Bill O'Brien um trying to finagle it right, 101 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: like I'm like, Okay, well, I like Zach Robinson. I 102 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: think he's a bright offensive coach. I think he's a 103 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: good quarterbacks coach. But is that system really what's best 104 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: for the Patriots if they go to a McVay shanahan 105 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: styles scheme and you're trying to piece together but the 106 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: only candidate that checks every single box is Bill O'Brien, 107 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: And I think we're at the point now where what 108 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: what's the hold up? Is it that Bill O'Brien's not 109 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: one hundred percent sold on coming back? Is it there? 110 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: They're not one hundred percent sold on Bill O'Brien, Like, 111 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: where is the disconnect? Because this, to me is a 112 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: slam duck. It's a guy that coach at Alabama, a 113 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: guy that coached year, a guy that has a relationship 114 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: with the quarterback. There's really no other candidate that fits 115 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: the bill better. The fact that they haven't announced O'Brien yet, Paul, 116 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: do you think that means anything or is it that's 117 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I think the whole reason for the transparency is because 118 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: they've got in a little trouble last year for skirting 119 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: the rules, and I think they have to follow the 120 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: rules like everybody else. Right. Yeah. Yeah, so that that 121 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: to me is the biggest reason why we haven't heard 122 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: anything about O'Brien. That makes sense. I think you have 123 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: to go through and you know, Mike, you said you 124 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to have the Twitter thing. 125 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: I think they are because I think it's kind of required. 126 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: I think you need to sort of let people know that. 127 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: You know, one of the teams was a Houston that 128 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: just interviewed Sean Payton. Yeah, and they immediately you know, 129 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: we've concluded an interview with Sean Payton for our vacant 130 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: head coaching. I think that's maybe not like a rule 131 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: on paper with every team, but I think you're starting 132 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: to see that more and more around the league. You're 133 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: sort of letting the league knows, Yeah, these are the 134 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: guys we've talked to. We had an interview with this guy. 135 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: And I think part of that is is the rum rule. 136 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots, the way they did it last 137 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 1: year with Matt Patricia, you know, I think they probably 138 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: were spoken to about it, you know, and making sure 139 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: they do it through the proper channels this time, and 140 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: that's you know, we look for little clues that might 141 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: be why they never gave a title. Oh well, I 142 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: think the biggest reason is the money. But yeah, because 143 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: then that that allowed them to say, well, we didn't 144 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: have an offensive coordinator. You know, it's nonsense. Wasted energy. 145 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Wasted energy is right, is the right way to put it. 146 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: It's just just you know, my god, how much of 147 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: that stuff that you let slide in the previous twenty 148 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: years now feels like wasted energy when you're not winning 149 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: playoff games anymore. Like a lot of a lot of 150 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: the subterfuge and stuff like that that they do. And 151 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: it's like, can you just yeah, you can afford to 152 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: be cute back then, you can't afford to be cute. 153 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: Like I always tease you, Mike, and I always say, 154 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: you still believe, right, you know, like those little things 155 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: that that there is. You know, there's a segment of 156 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: Patriots fans that still believe that. You know, the middle class. 157 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: It's you know, the cat management. It's not telling anybody 158 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: about injuries, you know, it's being evasive with them. That's 159 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: would allow them. No really good players allowed them to win, 160 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: you know. And and if they didn't have the good players, 161 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: you can hide the injuries all you want, You're not 162 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: gonna win. Uh. The other thing that kind of snuck 163 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: out there, I don't know who reported it, but it 164 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: might have been um Phil Perry that Bill signed off 165 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: on the release that went out, because we all said, okay, 166 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: this is Robert, this is Robert saying okay, we're putting 167 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: this out there. And I think it was but he 168 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: reported I think it was him that Bill had signed 169 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: off on it as well. Everyone's just h yeah, yeah, 170 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: you're not buying it. I mean, what is what alternative 171 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: would have? That's I mean that's kind of where I'm like, 172 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: he was okay with it because he didn't have a 173 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: choice and this would and I just I don't think 174 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: in a hundred years that he would ever want to 175 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: release something that says, hey, this is what we're thinking 176 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: of doing that. But I think he probably understood where 177 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: they were at. I mean, I think for me, it's 178 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: about optics too, you know, about getting fans back on 179 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: board as much as as as getting the team back 180 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: on board. But like, and I keep hitting that point, 181 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: just I think that that's what they wanted. I thought. 182 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: Evan brought up a good point about the Monday press 183 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: conference that we talked about last week that Bill kind 184 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: of seemed to be pointing fingers a little bit. And 185 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: I think if you look back real quick, the short 186 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: little timeline to feel like the off season, it's one 187 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: week old, like you know, we have all these things. 188 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: So immediately after the season was over, Robert Kraft issued 189 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: a letter it's a season ticket members, right, saying there 190 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: will be changes, right right, yea. The next day, the 191 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: head coach was like, well, you know, quarterback, I mean 192 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: you could play in this you could probably play in 193 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: this league. Yeah, you know, twenty seven to Cashpenning. And 194 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: then I guess he didn't hear me the first time, right, 195 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: So here's the release. This is what we're gonna do. 196 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: It is what we're doing. It did seem that it 197 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: builds on board by the point it see, So now 198 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: also we're hearing you know, you would think we'd know, 199 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: but we don't for sure. That the coaches are on 200 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: vacation this week. They're all gone, So when does this 201 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: interview process begin and who's doing the interviewing should have 202 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: begun Friday. That's the other issue that I have with this, 203 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: because this is what happens, and now that teams bow 204 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs, the Chargers just fired their offensive coordinator. 205 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: Every offensive coordinator that's available is going to want to 206 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: coach Justin Herbert, so that your job is automatically number two, 207 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: if not lower, on the pecking order. And now when 208 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: you don't get it done in a timely manner, I 209 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: do worry about that because if you're Bill O'Brien and 210 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers call and say, hey, we want to interview 211 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: you for the OC position, I'm coaching Justin Herbert over 212 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Like, if that's who I'm hitching my wagon too, 213 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: then I'm going to take the better player. I have 214 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: concerns that's a better option. But they're also it looks 215 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: like Tampa Bay's offensive coordinator job is going to be 216 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: open too. You know, it looks like they gonna fire left, 217 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: which now that's not more attractive than it because right 218 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: now they don't have a quarterback, right my guests would 219 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: be then they don't have one. You know, the Jets 220 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: have a vis So there's other teams that are gonna 221 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: be looking to fill these roles. Yeah kay, And I 222 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: think the charges one that that Evan brings up. I mean, 223 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: it's the best job in the NFL right now. You 224 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: get to play, and I mean, if you could probably succeeded. 225 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and Brandon Staley is like one fourth down 226 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: goal for a call next year, probably away from getting canned. 227 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: You know, like, I can't be I don't believe he 228 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: didn't gets us. Steph Georgovic like, if I'm Bill, find 229 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: your own way home son, You think Bill O'Brien goes 230 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: there as the OC. He's kind of waiting in the 231 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: wings if they had to make a move and points 232 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: so much more attractive. The rumors right now are that 233 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: they've been linked to Frank Reich, which is the same 234 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: thing I think for Frank Reich, who would be a 235 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: great higher for them. And then all of a sudden, 236 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: if Staley gets fired four weeks into the season, you 237 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: have Frank Reich on staff. Ready, it's one down attempt 238 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: it right, what are you doing? You're at your own 239 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: That's the only thing I know. We'll get to the 240 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: weekend games too. That's the only thing he didn't do. 241 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: And I got to be honest with you, there was 242 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: at least twice that I think he should have. Oh yeah, 243 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: so he has reversed course completely. He went from this 244 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: new age math coach that went for it on fourth 245 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: down all the time to this year, he's one of 246 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: the most conservative fourth down decision makers in the league. 247 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: And they probably lost the game because he's changed his stripes, 248 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: which and it wasn't so much field goals because I 249 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: think he kicked field goals properly, but I thought there 250 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: were some fourth down situations that he punted on. Yeah 251 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: that I think the way the game was going, they 252 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: probably would have conversed. You know, they had momentum. It's 253 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: just wild that somebody finally got to him and was like, 254 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: let's be less aggressive on fourth down, and then he 255 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: changes his stripes and then he loses the game. I 256 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: don't I didn't see the second game, would you agree. 257 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: My feeling though, was like, and this was in the 258 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: first half of that game, not to jump ahead, but 259 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: I felt like Herbert never really like so much happened 260 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: for him, that he never really got into rhythm himself 261 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: and never really found his game. In the first half. 262 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: You know, he was without Mike Williams and he lost 263 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: what's his face, um Carter in the middle of the game, 264 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: who's a little like kind of jack of all trades 265 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: for him, um, And it was weird because even when 266 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: they scored, they weren't on the fieldfold because they had 267 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: so many short fields. They went they went right in 268 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: and scored, and they just never really seemed like that 269 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: was one of those games that like Bill would talk 270 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: about like, obviously we weren't in control of the game 271 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: on the school board, but we felt like we were 272 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: playing better than it looked. Yeah, and I think they 273 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: were right. I mean, I give I give Trevor Lawrence 274 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: a lot of cry. I think got to get into 275 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: all that's an incredibly hard thing to do. I do 276 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: want to stick to the Patriots news and and kind 277 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: of you know, get it all out there before we 278 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: move on. So, well, it's the whole Garad Mayo situation. Um. 279 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: So it's he's definitely looked like he's staying. Um. The 280 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: question right now is in what capacity? You know, what 281 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: do you go? You know, I'm assuming it's going to 282 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: be assistant head coach, right, But that's the only thing 283 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: that makes right logic sense to me. I don't making 284 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: him defensive coordinator doesn't make sense to me because you've 285 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: got Steve there still. So it's hard, but I think 286 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: that that covers your thing, Fred of giving him some 287 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: of the experience. Of course, the Patriots want him to 288 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: get that experience and then probably stay here with it. 289 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: But at least from Gerard's point of view, he's probably 290 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: getting a nice pay bump and he's going to get 291 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: that experience of overseeing things and like you said, on 292 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: the pot opening his world perhaps to Girard, you know that. 293 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: That's my question is how much of this is a 294 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: move to give Girard what he wants to stay. But 295 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: how much do the Crafts have an eye an eye 296 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: toward the future with Gerard Mayo as as a potential replacement, 297 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: and how do you manage that and make that happen. 298 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: I just I just I just wonder though, like you know, 299 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: because if you're Mayo, you want things that are going 300 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: to help you down the road, right, So you're an 301 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: assistant coach to Bill Belichick, Like again, what are you doing? 302 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: What are you actually doing? You know? And I just wonder, like, 303 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: how does that help him become a head coach someday 304 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: because that's what he wants to do, you know. It's 305 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: I think the guy we got to get on the 306 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: phone and Marine Mats call up Dante because he was 307 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: the assistant head coach by title for a decade, right, 308 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: And my guesses is that you just have a hand 309 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: in a little bit of everything, right, where as opposed 310 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: to just your side of the ball, they're going to 311 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: give him actual responsibility to get off his own play. 312 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: I go back to the play calling too on defense, 313 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: because they're not taking play calling from Steve. They're not. 314 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: And if you don't call a side of the football, 315 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: it's just really hard to get a head coaching job 316 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: if you don't call a side, if you're not an 317 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: offensive guru, if you're not a defensive guru that's calling 318 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: the defense. What do you do, right? What do you do? 319 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: And there's so much and there's so much game plan 320 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: stuff during the week and practice and you know, coaching 321 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: up technique and I get all that, but I just 322 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: think that at the end of the day, every single 323 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: head coach in the league now has play calling experience 324 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: and is the guy on one side of the football. 325 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: And we saw that all weekend long. Every single day 326 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: head coach and that played this weekend it felt like 327 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: had a play sheet in their hand and it was 328 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: calling either offense or defense. So if you're Gerade Mayo, 329 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: what you still don't get to call the defense. I mean, 330 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: so I don't understand that is there has there ever 331 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: been a head coach that rose to that level who 332 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: really only his you know, uh resume was just a 333 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: leader and he wasn't like an expert on either side 334 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: of the ball. And it's just, you know, relies on 335 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: really strong owen offensive coordinat defensive coordinair and he's just 336 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: to be good that I would say Joe Judge filled 337 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: that criteria. He wasn't good, but but it got a 338 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: head coaching job by coaching special teams, right, But I mean, 339 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: you do have to call special teams. I hate that, 340 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: but you do have to call that. I mean, I 341 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: think the only other one that I can think of 342 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: at the top of my head is Dan Campbell, who 343 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: was the assistant head coach in New Orleans. But they 344 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: had Sean Payton calling the offense and they had Dennis 345 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: Allen calling the defense, so I don't think he was 346 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: calling it anything right in those games. So Harbaugh came 347 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: from special teams, but he could he he did, like 348 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: the Joe Judge thing. I think he had like one 349 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: year as like a Pocision coach or something. Well, this 350 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: floor might be an example, you know, um, but yeah, 351 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: it's tough. Like if I'm the owner or whoever is 352 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: making that decision the GM, like, what did you actually do? 353 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: It would be interesting to hear from Dante. Everyone brings 354 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: that up. But because I gotta be honest, I've always 355 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: kind of thought of assistant head coach is sort of 356 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: like a bone, like it's really nothing. Yeah, whatever the 357 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: more money, whatever the position coach is, that's what he like. 358 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: I always thought Dante was the offensive line coach, you know, 359 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: when he was the assistant head coach. I don't think 360 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: he was, like specially in a meeting with Bill. I 361 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's sort of assumed that if 362 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: Bill's night and we saw Dante step in for Bill 363 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: when I was when Bill's dad passed away, I think, oh, 364 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: remember he kind of ran the press conferences and he 365 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: was the acting head coach Alexander Haig for a day. Yeah. Yeah, 366 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: I like that's the way I look at assistant head coach. 367 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'm wrong, and that's why I think. No, 368 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: I think that's spot on. I think it's I think 369 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: it's in case of emergency, and I think that maybe 370 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: he's in the room a little bit more often than 371 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: he would have been beforehand. So now if you're again, 372 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: if you're Gurad, you want some kind of assurance that 373 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: this is actually going to happen down the road. You know, 374 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm turning down, you know, an interview with a team 375 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: for a head coach because I'm I'm getting some assurance. 376 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: And if you're Bill Belichick, you've got this guy kind 377 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: of nipping at your heels. Does that make for an 378 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: awkward situation? Also, would you turn down a head coaching 379 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: job to potentially take a coordinator job just so you 380 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: can get more experience, because I mean, for example, you've 381 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: seen just so many black coaches get these head coaching 382 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: jobs and after one year they're fired because they weren't 383 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: ready for it. And So'm I looking at that panther's 384 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: job and I see that he turned it down. It 385 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: could be because he's like, hey, I haven't called a game, 386 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: have turned the job down? He turned the interview? Yeah, 387 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: well yeah, I mean maybe he thought I shouldn't interviewet 388 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: until I get you know, maybe somebody. But he's come 389 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: out in several occasions saying I want to be a 390 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: head couch. Demca. Ryan's in San Francisco, said I need 391 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: another year, and he went back to the Niners and 392 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: coordinated their defense, and now his name is all over 393 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: the place, as it was would have been in the 394 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: last year's cycle as well, but he he bowed out 395 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: and said that I'm not ready, y I need more experienced. 396 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: And Mayo was interviewed for head coaching jobs. Yeah already, yeah, 397 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: just not this year, right, So it's something that they 398 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: gave him. Well, hopefully he gets something. I mean, even 399 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: if it's to Evan's point, it's like, I don't know 400 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: if you take the play calling away from um Steve, 401 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: but it's like, would you let Mayo potentially learn how 402 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: to call some plays? And I think he could probably 403 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: hop right in and do it. I would say, get 404 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: him experienced on the offensive side of the ball a 405 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: little bit, you know. I mean, if he comes back 406 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: and he's still the inside linebackers coach, then then it 407 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: just seems like it's ceremonial. But is there any way 408 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: to get him some I would want to something like 409 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: if after two years, if after two years I haven't 410 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: been named the head coach, I'm free to leave go 411 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: wherever I want. I don't need permission, you know, or 412 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: something something like, though he wouldn't need permission to go 413 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: meet the head coach or someone else. Well, I mean, 414 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure they need permission. They told in the release, 415 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: they said a long term deal. No, I know that 416 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: he wants to be a head coach somewhere else. He 417 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: could he could go right now. Yeah, if you want. 418 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: If he turned down that that interview, but nothing contractually 419 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: is going to prevent him from being a head coach 420 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: somewhere else. I don't whatever the job is, I can 421 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: leave and go or anywhere I want for any reason 422 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: if after two years I'm not the head coach, you know, 423 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: I just feel like the whole and look, this is 424 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: a societal thing. It's not just the NFL, but the 425 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: whole interview process for coaching is so out of whack. 426 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: In Cleveland, they brought Brian Flores in for the first interview. 427 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: Pretty much every single sign pointed to Brian Flores getting 428 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: the job. In this morning, they announced Jim Schwartz is 429 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: the defensive corner. Let's see how many he's coorted every 430 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: defense in the league, and it's just this is his 431 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: fourth this is his fourth stint as a defensive coordinator 432 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: fourth stint as a DC. And then I also look 433 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: at the Patriots situation. We all think Bill O'Brien's the 434 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: best guy for the job. Tom Kerran's reporting that the 435 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: people in football ops thinks that Bill O'Brien's the best 436 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: guy for the job, but because of the Rooney rule, 437 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna make a minority coach come in for a 438 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: sham interview like they're not if they have you know, 439 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: Pet Hamilton and Marcus Brady in here for an they're 440 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: not getting the job. Bill Brian's getting the job right, 441 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: And I just I feel bad for wasting those people's time. Yep. 442 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: I feel bad about it because and I think the 443 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: Rooney rule is trying to accomplish the right thing. It's 444 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, if you look at it as experience interviewing 445 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: for that job, you know it's not a waste of time. 446 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: But I hear, yeah, sometimes though, it's like checking a 447 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: box when a team already knows like that they're gonna hire. 448 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: Oh look, that's what it is. Yeah. I just I 449 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: just feel like there's a at the end of the day, 450 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: the guy that gets the job is gonna it was predetermined, 451 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: Like the Browns knew that Jim Schwartz was getting that job. 452 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: They did. And how many times, and I think this 453 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: is a good honest question for like a GM or something. 454 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: How many times are you actually swayed in an interview 455 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: where you went in thinking this is our our guy 456 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden somebody blows you out 457 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: of the water and you completely pivot. It happened to me. 458 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: And uh, when I interviewed with you, No, that was 459 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: a long time. I appreciate you. No, there was a 460 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: recent hire that we made. Um. She came in and 461 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: blew us away and we ended up hiring her instead 462 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: of the other person that we had as number one Nicolette. Yeah. Yeah, 463 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: But I will say on the opposite side, I have 464 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: interviewed with a team that I will remain nameless, and 465 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: I felt like they wasted my time in the sense 466 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: of they brought me in like made it seem like, 467 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, they were really interested in me. I felt 468 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: like I blew it away. I mean, the people I 469 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: talked to you said I did an incredible job, and 470 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: all along they were going to hire someone else. The 471 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: entire time, it was almost just like, Okay, we got 472 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: a minority person in for an interview. We did it, yea, 473 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: and but we're still going to go with this, and 474 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: it's so annoying happening to me three times when I 475 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: was working for you, you know. Stories. Yeah, I just 476 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: feel bad for because I got asked this question because 477 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: I didn't put a minority coach on my initial candidates list. 478 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: So somebody said, well, how are they gonna how are 479 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: they going to check off the Rooney rule box. It's 480 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: like the fact that I have to throw somebody out 481 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: there just to check a box is so so funny. 482 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: You said, I purposely didn't put a minority candidate in 483 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: my notes today for that exact reason, because I know 484 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: people are just gonna say, well, look at him, he's 485 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: being the good company boy. He's just like putting it 486 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: down there, so people won't know. That's up to the 487 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: Patriots to figure out who they're going to interview, not me. 488 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't know what the answer 489 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: is to fix the process, because this happens in all 490 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: walks of life, that you have a candidate that you 491 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: like and that guy gets the job or that girl 492 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: gets the job, even if you have ten people in 493 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: for interviews. So it's not like it's just in the NFL, 494 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: But I just feel like they're just marching these these 495 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: minority coaches into these interviews just because, you know, but 496 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: they have On the other side of it, it's it's 497 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: probably good for teams to, you know, meet these people 498 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: and find out who they are, because you never know 499 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: three years from now, you know, you know, we had 500 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: that he was good. Let's bring him back, you know, 501 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe familiarize yourself with with people, just like 502 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: a Gerad situation with Carolina for example, and did he 503 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: get intel out of Carolina that you're not actually getting 504 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 1: this job, right like we they have somebody that they 505 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: want that they're targeting, and they're bringing you in because 506 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: they have to, but you're not actually getting this job. 507 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: Same thing with Cleveland because Brian Flores took the interview 508 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: and got passed over by Jim Schwartz, who has failed 509 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: three different times as a defensive coordinator. Also, remember you 510 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: know Bill famously texted the wrong Brian about the Giants 511 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: job and he was actually telling what he meant to 512 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: be doing is telling Dable, yeah, you got the job. 513 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: I found out, But wasn't that the timing of that 514 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: before the interview process had been finished, so that was 515 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: in the bag, right you know, yeah, who you know, 516 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: whoever was interviewed after the date of that text. I 517 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: don't think there's an I don't think there's anything wrong 518 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: with having it in the bag. I don't think there's 519 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: anything wrong. But the Patriots want Bill O'Brien. Boy, it 520 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: just happens. Yeah, But because of the way the rules 521 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: are set up, you can't do that anymore, right, right, 522 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: Like that that's the problem. I think there's there's got 523 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: to be a better way to get minority candidates in 524 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: the in the building in like you know, in the game, right, yeah, 525 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: well instead of having a sham interview, Like is there 526 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: another process? It has to be a better way. Yeah, 527 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, whether it be you know, what are the 528 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: It's almost like, you know, for colleges, so I'm trying 529 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: to think of someone who got fired recently. I can't 530 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: even think of one right now off the top of 531 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: my head. But for colleges, most times they have a 532 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: committee that brings in different people, so like it's it 533 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: could be biased, but it's less biased because you have 534 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: so many people involved in like inserting names, so then 535 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: you can decide from that group. Of names who you 536 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: actually want to bring in first of you, Yeah, what 537 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: is the team? What is the There's some kind of 538 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: an event that the NFL has now where the owners 539 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: are there and they and the teams. But I think 540 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: Steve Cargyle went to it with the Patriots and the 541 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: goal is to get um as many of the minority 542 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: decision makers for lack of you know, coaches, personnel, guys, whatever, 543 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: all in the room with all of the owners. And 544 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: now this way they all get to meet owners from 545 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: all the difference. It's not interviews, but you sort of 546 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: you get more familiar with the process and with the people. 547 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: That's how I mean, how did anybody ever get a job? Like? 548 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: It was the vast majority of people in this world 549 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: is it's but I'm not even talking about old boy. 550 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: It's it's connections. It's networking. Yeah, that that I mean 551 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: that that's word of mouth. How did I get this? 552 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: Like Brian Morey, I played baseball within college. Right Mike 553 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: Reese left and he said, hey, what do you think 554 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 1: That's how I came here? Right? Like, It's it's all 555 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: word of mouth and networks. So if you if you 556 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: get but if you're not get these people in the network. 557 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: And now to Tamara's point, the next time I have 558 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: a search committee, well maybe Marcus Brady is in that 559 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: group with Bill O'Brien more frequently because I know him. 560 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: I met this guy. He really impressed me. I like him. 561 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: Wasn't an interview, It wasn't a forced interview, which I 562 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: don't think is the way to get this done. I 563 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: just it's like, it's just hard because the NFL is 564 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: so small. I don't have the answer, but you know, 565 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you kind of know everybody who's you know, 566 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: other industries. I mean, I you know, agree with the 567 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: bigger point that this exists everywhere, but I think two 568 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: with you know, just in New England, who are we 569 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: going to guys that we that we're here, you know so, 570 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: and most teams aren't willing to take chances. Yeah, you 571 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: know that's I mean, that's I mean, and that's why 572 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: everyone's like Bill O'Brien right here, we go right back 573 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: on that track. Well, because everybody here automatically thinks that 574 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: Bill won't go outside his comfort zone. That's why I 575 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: leaned to Bill o'bion, you won't all right. Five hundred 576 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: is the ACE ticket hot line web radio at Patriots 577 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: dot com is the email address the games this weekend? 578 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yeah. I was particularly happy for Trevor Lawrence. 579 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: Even when he fell behind. I knew he was going 580 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: to come back and make it close. You watch the 581 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: whole thing I did. Wait wait, wait, wa wait you 582 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: knew that? Oh yeah, you knew it? Absolutely, asked my wife, 583 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: I said, he's going to come back. Don't work. I 584 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: will say that there are just not many players that 585 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: I think mentally can overcome throwing that many interceptions and 586 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: a half being down like that. Yes, just mentally, especially 587 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, in a in a guy who this is 588 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: his first playoffs, this was his first time in the 589 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: wild card game, like just he could have easily been like, well, 590 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: we made it to the playoffs. You know, that's an 591 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: accomplishment in itself. Yeah, well we'll try to get Sandy. Sandy. 592 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: The Chargers helped a little, h a lot. But but yeah, 593 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: you're right to have the mindset to just come out 594 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: and keep keep working at it, you know. And I 595 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: guess that first year helped him. You know what he 596 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: went through with urban Meyer and all that crap. You know, 597 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: it can't get worse than that, and that helped him. 598 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, in this league, and so 599 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: I was glad that, you know, they advanced. I don't 600 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: think they're going to beat the Bills, but you know, 601 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: I was wherever they play, they're the fourth seed of 602 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: the remaining four in the AFC, and but I'm happy 603 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: that he got through that. Yeah, I mean, I mean, 604 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: just bigger points to take away from me was just 605 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: generally from the weekend, was like, there are definitely three 606 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: top AFC teams, but I don't see why the Patriots 607 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: can't get back into this, you know, lower echelon mix 608 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: with the Chargers and the Ravens and but but you know, 609 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: it's just I think you look in the off season, 610 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: it seemed like, God, the AFC is so stacked, and 611 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: then when you really boil it down to the end 612 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: of the year and you get to the playoffs, and 613 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: you see, all right, like, yeah, they're they're outside, but 614 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: they're not that far off when it's Mahomes versus Burrow 615 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: in the championship game. But it's three teams. But I 616 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: would have liked to play. See. I just looked at it, 617 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: and I'm a little not surprisingly, I looked at it 618 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: a little bit less optimistically than Mike. I look at 619 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: some of those, like, you know, like Miami goes up 620 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: to Buffalo and they had every opportunity to win the game. Now, 621 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: I thought they were thoroughly all played in the game, 622 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: and the turnovers kept them in it. But you know, 623 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: I think the Bills did a lot of things to 624 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: try to keep you in the game too, when you 625 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: couldn't stay in the game. Yeah, and that's a lower 626 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: echelon team with a third string rookie quarterback playing like 627 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: that's not I'm not comparing them to since the Kansas 628 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: City and Buffalo, I'm comparing them to Miami. Miami found 629 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: a way to play the Bills three times, nose to nose, yep, 630 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: Like it helps when the quarterback turns it over four times. No, 631 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. There were there were 632 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: mistakes made, you know, But I think the Bills made 633 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes against the Patriots, and the Patriots 634 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: couldn't do anything about it. I look at it as 635 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: a positive, and then I also have a negative on 636 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: it as well. But I think positively Doug Peterson to 637 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and Brian Dable to Daniel Jones, and like 638 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: these coaches were able to obviously what's going on in 639 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco, like these coaches are able to make up 640 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: for it. But I think the negative is is that 641 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: you have to have one or the other. You either 642 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: have to have great coaching. You'd have to have great coaching, 643 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: or you have to have great talent. But if you 644 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots right now, I feel like have neither and 645 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: that's not a good place to be. And now if 646 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: they fix off it's a coordinator, maybe they can get 647 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: back to that level of a Dable with Daniel Jones 648 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: type of path. But you can't be a team with neither. 649 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: But you can be a team with one or the 650 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: other and you can still win playoff games with great 651 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: coaching or great play. And I think that this weekend 652 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: you saw that all across the league, and then you 653 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: also saw coaches below games for their teams. I think 654 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: that I'm a big Mike McDaniel guy. I loved him 655 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: all season long what he did on against the buff 656 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: the Bills on fourth down and he can't get the 657 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: play in and they have all sorts of procedural issues. 658 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: They're burning timeouts in the fourth quarter because they can't 659 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: get plays in and things like that. That's that's terrible. 660 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean it's terrible coaching the Ravens too. I'm like, 661 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: you literally had a chance in the final two minutes 662 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: to make this game something different than what it was. 663 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: And I just felt like they didn't know what they 664 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: were doing. Why are you still huddling up? The clock 665 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: is rolling? Are you doing That's what they wanted to do. Yeah, 666 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: they wanted to score in the last second, right, it 667 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: was I think a gross miscalculation, especially for the Ravens, 668 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: a team that wants to run the ball. Yeah, by 669 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: letting the clock run, you're basically taking the runaway from you. Like, 670 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: you can't ask Tyler Huntley yes to throw eight passes 671 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: in the last minute, in twenty seconds of the game. 672 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: It's not what he does. So I think by not 673 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: taking those timeouts now, but that's exactly what they weren't confused. 674 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, Miami, they weren't unprepared. I just think that 675 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: they had a bad plan, right, you have that, and 676 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: I thought that plan would have worked if like Lamar 677 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: was in. But like that second half for Staley and 678 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: the Chargers, I can't believe he kept his job. I 679 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: can't believe it. They have told you, I would have 680 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: made him be like Tom Cruise in all the right moves. Steph, Georgevitch, 681 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: You're not a lot to go back on the bus 682 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: you walk home from Walnut Heights twenty seven. He should 683 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: have had to get his own flight. You run the 684 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: ball nine times in the second half of twenty seven 685 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: to nothing. Yeah, and your defense completely gets outplayed and 686 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: you never you'd never adjust defensively. That's supposed to be 687 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: your side of the football. I don't. I just don't know. 688 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what they see in the coach. I don't. 689 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: And that's such a great roster in such a great 690 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: quarterback that if you just drop and if like if 691 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: Sean Payton took that job, then then they they'd have 692 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: a chance to win a Super Bowl. I think they 693 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: have to find a way to get their personnel active. 694 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I know that's the common thing. It's just 695 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: it's a loaded roster. But when they play the games, 696 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: they usually don't have a loaded roster. I mean it's 697 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: Josh Palmer and Keenan Allen in Austin Eckler. I mean, 698 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: I think Gerald Edward is fine, He's okay. I mean 699 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: we talked about Carter too, right, I mean he's like 700 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: the scrap heap, Yeah, I mean that's like the third 701 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: receiver in that game was DeAndre Carter. You know, you 702 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: know in the secondary, they lose Mike Davis and you know, 703 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: and that was also a big injury, you know, one 704 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: of the starts. So now you're out, you're two starting corners. 705 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: I don't I think they're good. I have a concern. 706 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: I love Justin Herbert and I've said this a million times. 707 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: I love, love, love his skill. I just don't know 708 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: if he's got that loser thing in him that he 709 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: can't get knocked out. There's no way that any quarterback 710 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: should have lost that game. I don't care if you 711 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: run eight plays, eight runs, twenty five runs, like, all 712 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: you need to do is get like two first downs 713 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: and the game is over. And they couldn't do it. 714 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: That's why I think that the right and they're gonna 715 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: hire an offensive coordination. Maybe it's Frank Reich and maybe 716 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: he gets it out of him, but I think that 717 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: he's the type of guy that you need to have 718 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: the right coach to pair with to get that killer 719 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: instinct out of him. Because this year he was thirty 720 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: first in the league in air yards. He's got one 721 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: of the best arms in the league, and they're thinking 722 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: and dunking down the field. And if you don't coach 723 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: it in him to be more aggressive, then then he 724 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: clearly is is cool with that right of just throwing 725 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: five yard passes. They got Josh Allen and he's playing 726 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: like Alex Smith like that. You just can't have that. 727 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 1: I think part of that was with all the injuries 728 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: that they had, both in the receiving quarters. They were 729 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: without Allen and Williams for a large chunk of the year, 730 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: and then Rashawn Slater goes down like they're gonna find 731 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: a way because they're gonna waste a window because they 732 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 1: are good enough to be a you know, a second 733 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: weekend playoff team. Minimize AFC, NFC. Forget about the two 734 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: teams that had buys, who were the two strongest team 735 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: that came out of this weekend San Francisco, they're wagon 736 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: even with Bertie. You believe it. I believe in Kyle 737 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: and that he was really shaky early in that game, 738 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: but then he settled down and he was fine. At me. Yeah, 739 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I wish I could say the Bills with 740 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: the Bengals, but you know, I don't think that they 741 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: played as well as you thought they were going to play. 742 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 1: The Bengals have some issues up front. Yeah, I think 743 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: the Bills, like for the past two weeks, what six toneovers? 744 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: I might be missing one. But they're lucky they've played 745 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,720 Speaker 1: two bad teams in a row, because if they didn't, 746 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: I'm sorry sorry, if they didn't. Miami with Tua is 747 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: not bad. But I think that if they played somebody 748 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: else the past two weeks, they wouldn't have want. Yeah, 749 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: they got lucky. They come out with three turnovers again 750 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: unless unless not gonna win, unless they're suffering from playing 751 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: down to their competition. That film, for Josh Allen is brutal. 752 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: It's bad. I just think they look exhausted. He just 753 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: has taken vertical shots with guys underneath the defense just 754 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: wide open, and they're just baiting him into into go 755 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: balls on the outside, and he's just sure, let's do this, 756 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna hit thirty percent of them, Like so 757 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: you know how good they are. Everything that everybody is 758 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 1: saying is exactly true. Five hundred plush yards of offense 759 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: and thirty four points oh yeah. I mean, that's how 760 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: good they are. They can play like utter crap and 761 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: still do that right, And they did play like crap, 762 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: no mistake. I think it's a big difference with Dable 763 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: and Dorsey, right because Dable was able to get him 764 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: to be more efficient, and that's how they tore up 765 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots last year, was that he was willing to 766 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: take the profits underneath the defense and thinking dunk a 767 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: little bit and not have to go for the home 768 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: run on every single play against them. Against the Dolphins, 769 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: he was back to just I'm just gonna make a 770 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: fifty yard bomb happen on it. Even the second like 771 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: the first game against the Patriots, I thought they largely 772 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: stayed with what Dable did. It was a lot of 773 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: dumps over the middle to like Shingle, checked outs to 774 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: even shorter throws to digs Um, you know, and that worked. 775 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: And then the second game, the one in Buffalo in 776 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: the last game of the season, I thought it was 777 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more what Evan's talking about. And you know, 778 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: he hit them, you know, so that you know, those 779 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 1: are the two backbreaking touchdowns in the fourth quarter. But 780 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, I don't care how good 781 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,479 Speaker 1: you are. Those aren't always the high percentage plays. Yeah, 782 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: and of course, uh for me at least we had 783 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: the disappointing game last night with Brady. Is that his 784 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: last game with them? Yes? No? In the NFL? No, 785 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think. I think it 786 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: should be. I think, but he's not gonna you know, 787 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 1: now that he's divorced. No, I'm serious, it's got nothing 788 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: for the season. I said this would be his last year, 789 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: and I think if he was still married it would be. 790 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: But now, I mean single Brady in one year in 791 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: Vegas playing for the Raiders. That sounds like that. But 792 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: what does that sound like? Yeah, I mean that he 793 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: live in a hotel. I don't think single Brady would have. 794 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 1: I mean that makes a lot of sense him going 795 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: to Vegas, going with Josh McDaniels, all those tools that 796 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: are already there, um doing a residency, you know, I 797 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: think I think it makes you know, like before everyone 798 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: was saying, oh, forty nine ers, but are they gonna 799 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: stick with Like, let's say this guy makes a run. 800 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: Let's also never forget about Trey Lance. Well go get 801 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: Purty because I heard ivn't doing a whole thing this 802 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: morning with Chris about about Purdy and and and Zappy 803 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: and the same. It's ridiculous he does. He thinks, so Purty, 804 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 1: fifty percent of his throws were off play action, seventy 805 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: something percent of his yards were yak right, Like he 806 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: throws a ten yard crosser to Deebo Samuel and he 807 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: takes its seventy five yards of the house. Who I 808 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: know what, I gotta be honest with you, and I'm 809 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: not talking about I don't think Purty played all that well. 810 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: I watched that whole game and he was shaking. When 811 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: a quarterbacks receivers have a lot of yak Is that 812 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: also an indication that he's very accurate hitting him? And 813 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: there was two unbelievable blocks, one by Kittle and one 814 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: by Ayuk. I sent a text I sent to text 815 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: him like, I go, is even a better block the 816 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They they hit three shop plays in 817 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 1: that game on the same concept. They ran the same 818 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: play three times and Seattle is in cover three all 819 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: three times and got beat all three times. Like, I'm sorry. 820 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: I think that he's got some skill. He's clearly doing 821 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,240 Speaker 1: enough to not get in the way of that offense. 822 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: But we don't need to give every quarterback that the 823 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: moment isn't too big for him. We don't have to 824 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: get like that's the bottom line, like that's the baseline 825 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: of it. And we we we crack underlying the Green 826 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,320 Speaker 1: Bay game, all the moment's not too big for him. Cool, 827 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: but hold on, the jury is still out. But if 828 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: he does make a run, he'll have done it against 829 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: the best teams in his conference. And I think that 830 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: means but is it him or the team is? The 831 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: team is extremely talented, It's unbelievable, and Kyle Shanahan is 832 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: the best offensive coach in the league besides maybe Andy Reid. 833 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give it right now to Kyle Shanahan. 834 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: And he is making throws that that mac that zappy 835 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: that you know sky Tyler Thompson could could could make. 836 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, the moment wasn't too big for Skylett Thompson, 837 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: But we don't talk about that because he lost. Right, 838 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 1: he didn't play that bad. I mean, I know the 839 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: numbers are terrible, but I don't think you've got any help. 840 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: It's this this argument of poise, like, oh he was 841 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: poised well, when there's when he's got a pocket and 842 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: he's got receivers that are open, and then the receivers 843 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: take the ball and do things with it, Like, it's 844 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: probably pretty easy to look poised, like, but do you 845 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,479 Speaker 1: think that there's anything to take that Other NFL teams 846 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: are taken from this? And I know that the forty 847 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: nine ers are completely unique in the fact that they 848 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: have Kyle Shanahan, who everyone respects as a coordinator. You've 849 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: got Trent Williams, You've got Debo, You've Kittle, I mean, 850 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: go right around. But do you think this says anything 851 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: to NFL teams that are like, it's so hard to 852 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: find the one quarterback? Do we do? We just put 853 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: everything into the weapons. So that's what I would just 854 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: get up. I think that to me, And I've heard 855 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: this a lot. What's argument, what's easier finding the quarterback 856 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: or building a rot Like I'm sorry, hard right, it's 857 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: really hard to build a roster as talented as the 858 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: Niners are right now, and they've lost a number of 859 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: guys on the defensive side of the ball, and it 860 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: doesn't matter because they're just so good. And yeah, you 861 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: can I've said this a million times. If I have 862 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: all of those things. Yeah, I'm fine with Mac Jones. Yep. 863 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: Mac Jones would be fine in San Francisco because they're 864 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: because they're rock solid everywhere. Yeah, And I don't think 865 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 1: that's easy to do. No. I also think that maybe 866 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: even arguably just as hard as Kyle Shanahan, because that 867 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: guy can really coach. Yeah, and so do you have 868 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: to have both? It's you have to have a talented 869 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: roster around the quarterback and you have to have a 870 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: guy that can that can scheme it up like Kyle 871 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: Shanahan does. So I don't know me over the top 872 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: with McCaffrey where it's like they're just all in on 873 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: this plan of getting as many elite weapons as they can. Um. 874 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I love Paul's point. I mean it's just 875 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to find Trent Williams, you know, Like 876 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: I just take that one piece of it. They have 877 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 1: a really good offensive line, they have a really good defense, 878 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: they have really good skill guys, they have a really 879 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: good running game. I'll yeah, if I have everything at 880 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: a really high level, I don't probably have to have 881 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: the best quarterback now. And that's what was with Mac 882 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,720 Speaker 1: Jones Alabama. He had everything perfect. He had great rob receivers, 883 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: great offensive line, great coach, like everything was handed to him. Yeah, 884 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: run it back, all right, We're gonna take a break 885 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,760 Speaker 1: here in Patriot's unfilter.

This has been a 1102 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 1: tough time, all right for tenty nineteen, things seem to 1103 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 1: really pick up. Let's go to Rashad in Baltimore. What's up, Rashad? Hey, 1104 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 1: what's up? What's up? I got I got a few 1105 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 1: things about the about the playoffs, but I got I 1106 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 1: got a question for Evan about about the draft. But my, my, 1107 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 1: my take on the playoffs this weekend the forty nine is, 1108 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,720 Speaker 1: I feel like the system just is easier to any quarterback, 1109 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 1: Like if you put Mac Jones in a system, he 1110 00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 1: would do good, if not better than Purdy and uh game. 1111 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 1: I'm with spread on that. Like I knew the charges 1112 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,879 Speaker 1: gonna choke because that's what they've done all my life 1113 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 1: pretty much. They've always you know, been let they fans down. 1114 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,800 Speaker 1: So I knew in some way they the Jay Watson 1115 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 1: going to come back. And my thing, okay, having my 1116 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 1: question for you is um, all right, so the Patriots 1117 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 1: at pick fourteen last say they going best player available? 1118 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 1: All right? So you have Paris Johnson, you have Nolan Smith, 1119 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 1: and you have Jordan Addison. Who would you take? And 1120 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 1: the one thing I will say about the draft, I 1121 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 1: don't like that the jet literally one spot ahead of us. Yeah, 1122 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,120 Speaker 1: I don't like that. Yet. Where I'm at with with 1123 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 1: the draft now that I'm starting to really get into 1124 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 1: this is I'm ready to be hurt again, deuce like 1125 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm ready for them to take cold strange two point 1126 00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 1: er and break my heart. So I think all the 1127 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 1: name brands that we throw out there at fourteen is 1128 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 1: not going to end up being who the guy is. 1129 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: And uh, but out of to answer your question, I 1130 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 1: think a lot of it depends on what they do 1131 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 1: in free agency, because I think that there's a good 1132 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 1: chance that looking at this free agent market and the 1133 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: fact that they're going to have some money to spend, 1134 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 1: that they might throw some money at tackle, which might 1135 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: take that off the board in the first round. So 1136 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't know where they're going um with that position, 1137 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 1: but they might go that way. I like Paris Johnson, 1138 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 1: I like Broderick Jones from Georgia. Both those guys can 1139 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: play the tackle. From Northwestern I think is a good 1140 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 1: prospect as well. Yeah, I think all those guys are areas. 1141 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,600 Speaker 1: Do you think as a free agent tackle, do you 1142 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 1: think Michael Michael McGlinchey, I think that's his name. Do 1143 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 1: you think that's that's a good target. Yeah. I just 1144 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: think mcglinchy. If just looking at their track record of 1145 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 1: of who the guys that they spend money on in 1146 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 1: free agency, he reminds me a lot of Stefan Gilmour 1147 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,400 Speaker 1: and that they couldn't get him in the draft because 1148 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 1: he went and overall in the draft that he was 1149 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 1: picked in. So maybe a guy that they graded really 1150 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 1: highly coming out of Notre Dame, but they didn't ever 1151 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: have a chance to pick him. Now he's at UFA, 1152 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 1: they're able to get their hands on him and they 1153 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 1: pay him a contract because they think that here he's 1154 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 1: going to be even better than he was in an 1155 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 1: outside zone system in San Francisco. So I love that 1156 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: idea because I think you pay him and then right 1157 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: tackles set like you got a right tackle and you 1158 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: just you go from there. Thanks for sure. But yeah, 1159 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: I like Jordan Addison too from USC the receiver, more 1160 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 1: of that separation, quickness, route running and not like a 1161 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 1: Quentin Johnston from TCU, who's who's like a big bodied guy. 1162 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 1: So I like Addison the lock rights in. Uh he's 1163 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 1: from Everett. Oh okay, he's writing at web radio at 1164 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,760 Speaker 1: pictures dot com. He says, that got my free first 1165 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: alert the other day. There you go. All I could 1166 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 1: picture was you three guys throwing on your Patriot blue 1167 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 1: flashing light on your hoods, Fred blowing red lights, Mike 1168 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 1: whipping around rotaries, and Paul throwing down his chicken cutlet 1169 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 1: sub from the Plosse's say the good thing. I gotta 1170 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 1: go there. There's been an alert. That's what makes you 1171 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 1: guys the original broadcast at number one. Keep up the 1172 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 1: great work so you can get those uh notices. Why 1173 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 1: I have alerts and I gotta feel them. We'll have 1174 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 1: a few more. You go to stats dot com slash 1175 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 1: audio slash alerts and you'll be notified whenever we have 1176 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 1: an emergency podcast. So do you think if if we 1177 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: get word that they interviewed a candidate on like a 1178 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 1: Wednesday emergency podcast or no, uh, just the depth they 1179 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,400 Speaker 1: just interviewed somebody. No, I agree, yeah, no, have to 1180 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,440 Speaker 1: be higher. I mean that hopefully we'll get word of 1181 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: it and we'll put it out there as a report 1182 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,360 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, so you'll know about it on 1183 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: PAGs dot com. But I don't think that rises to 1184 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 1: the level. I was waiting for Paul to say we 1185 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:58,320 Speaker 1: need to have a Wednesday shown on a Wednesday all 1186 01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 1: the time. I would rather have it, you know, twelve 1187 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: to two. But every day he doesn't want to do it. 1188 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: He's the boss. Yeah, sometimes you just have to, you know, 1189 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 1: let Matt Patricia make the place not talk, just not 1190 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,479 Speaker 1: talk for two hours on Wednesday, and then thank him after. 1191 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 1: Benn in Liverpool says pretty simple question was or has 1192 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Joe Judge been giving enough blame for how the team 1193 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,800 Speaker 1: performed this year? All the attention seemed to go to 1194 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 1: Mac and more so on Patricia. Dare I say it, 1195 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 1: even Bill, but Joe Judge, who has no time for Christmas, 1196 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,000 Speaker 1: seemed to skate along until the end of the season. 1197 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: With hindsight looking at how well the Giants and Daniel 1198 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: Jones had done this year, was the bigger mistake hiring 1199 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: Joe Judge as QB coach or Patricia as OCT Christmas Yeah, Patricia, 1200 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,840 Speaker 1: I don't. I mean I didn't like either one of them, 1201 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,440 Speaker 1: but there's only one guy that was calling the place. Yeah, right, 1202 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach? Just throw them all on the play. Like, 1203 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it matters how much we divvy up 1204 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 1: to each guy, to be honest with you, but if 1205 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 1: you let's play though, if you were to divvy it 1206 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 1: up and you would say, that's a quarter back coach issue, like, 1207 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: what would be an example of something that's a quarterback coach? 1208 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 1: Here's you know, usually a strong OC is also the 1209 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. You know, a real So this is you know, 1210 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying rare, but you know it's not typical. 1211 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 1: So if you had a really good quarterbacks coach and 1212 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 1: you saw the OC not calling good plays, would that 1213 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 1: quarterback coach be more at odds with the OC to say, hey, 1214 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,440 Speaker 1: you're screwing up the quarterback here, and did that happen? 1215 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 1: Did that? Maybe? I don't know, you know, like I 1216 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 1: think they were united against Mac, so then yeah, so 1217 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I would I would look at it more if if 1218 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 1: I thought that Mac Jones was showing signs of getting 1219 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 1: really sloppy, like his mechanics were all out of whack 1220 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 1: and he's doing you know, I would say, wow, you know, 1221 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 1: his quarterback coach tightening some of these things up. Pocket awareness, Yeah, 1222 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 1: he's loose with the ball, like I don't really think 1223 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,680 Speaker 1: he's been. I don't think there was a huge difference 1224 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 1: in that regard to me from last year to this year. 1225 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,120 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm overlooking it, but to me, 1226 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 1: it was more about the play designs and the offense itself, 1227 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 1: and I and Judge deserves blame for that too. Yeah, 1228 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 1: but I think Patricia gets the Lions here because he 1229 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: called the plays and Bill gets you know, Bill set 1230 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. If it doesn't work, 1231 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: blame me, uh Dan writes in Bill O'Brien is the 1232 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 1: top candidate for OC as everyone knows. Say that he 1233 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 1: gets hired and we don't make a lot of moves 1234 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 1: on offense in the offseason. Do you believe he and 1235 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 1: Mac can get more out of the current offense or 1236 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 1: our roster moves necessary to take this team to the 1237 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 1: next level. Even with an actual OC Yeah, you gotta, 1238 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean you gottat. I would say yes, and yes, 1239 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 1: I think he would get more out of the current. 1240 01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 1: But you need I think it's kind of consensus they 1241 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 1: need that number one receiver. Would you go after DeAndre 1242 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Hopkins considering that there is a hint hint? I'm lukewarm 1243 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,640 Speaker 1: on that idea. I'm kind of coming down on DeAndre 1244 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:58,040 Speaker 1: Hopkins old. You know, I just he's a great player. 1245 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, But I don't know. I just 1246 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:05,439 Speaker 1: but but I would say this situation, and I totally 1247 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 1: get that thought. My feeling right now is like I'm 1248 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 1: just looking at tackle, wide, receiver, cornerback, Like those are 1249 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,360 Speaker 1: the positions I'm only really concerned about with this Patriots 1250 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 1: team right now. And of those, if you had to 1251 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 1: sign a thirty something, you know, thirty thirty one, thirty 1252 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 1: two year old free agent, which position would you choose? 1253 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,320 Speaker 1: You know, like, like that's the only thing that's appealing 1254 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 1: to Hopkins. I feel like you can still play at 1255 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,840 Speaker 1: that level. I'd rather draft a tackle. I think they're 1256 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,320 Speaker 1: pretty good at developing corners. I just look at this 1257 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,760 Speaker 1: free agency class though, and I just it doesn't really 1258 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,640 Speaker 1: seem all that exciting, doesn't really seem it just I 1259 01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 1: think that's a good question. I think I would rather 1260 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: have a thirty one year old tackle than a thirty 1261 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: one year old I don't even think it's necessarily that 1262 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm worried about his play like falling off a cliff 1263 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: this year or something like that. It's just how do 1264 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 1: you grow with a young quarterback and a thirty one 1265 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 1: year old receiver? Like, to me, the ideal scenario is 1266 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 1: that you pair Mac Jones with somebody like te Higgins 1267 01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 1: who's twenty four, and you grow together, right, and you 1268 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 1: build together, and now all of a sudden, you have 1269 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback wide receiver tannin for the next five years 1270 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 1: instead of just talking about it for one year. And 1271 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 1: that's where I'm sort of coming off Hopkins a little bit, 1272 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 1: is just because it is at a two year window 1273 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 1: with Hopkins, Like how much are how long is he 1274 01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,560 Speaker 1: really going to be here for? But if you only 1275 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 1: maybe have a two year window with Mac, or at 1276 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 1: very least you want to see next year Mac with 1277 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 1: a direct route to an elite receiver, Like I'm totally 1278 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 1: with you on Higgins, Like I think that's like, especially 1279 01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: if you believed in Mac long term and you're like, 1280 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,880 Speaker 1: let's get him locked up for four or five years. Now, 1281 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: we'll get Mac on the second and they'll be together 1282 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,160 Speaker 1: for a while. But I also just wonder of a 1283 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 1: certain this season, let's find out what Mac has. Let's 1284 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 1: let's actually give him a guy, so that there isn't like, well, 1285 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 1: he didn't really have a guy. Which also I saw 1286 01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: DeVante Parker had like a tweet like I am that guy. 1287 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,080 Speaker 1: Like somebody was like, we just gotta get we gotta 1288 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: get Mac that guy. I mean, I do think you 1289 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: get a strong I just thought it was a funny, funny, 1290 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 1: little stung like I'm not gonna say no to DeAndre Hopkins. 1291 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I won't get it wrong. Yeah, but I just think that, 1292 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: And I would also say that, you know, looking just 1293 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,560 Speaker 1: at the free agency pool, you gotta look at the 1294 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 1: guys that are going to be free agents next year 1295 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,320 Speaker 1: also because those guys are the ones that get traded. 1296 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,000 Speaker 1: So that's that's why I have T Higgins on the right. 1297 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,200 Speaker 1: So like that's like what happened with AJ Brown or 1298 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 1: what happened with Tyreek Hill, like those guys are get 1299 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 1: traded in there the year before they're going to hit 1300 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: the open market. And I just look at all those situations, 1301 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,320 Speaker 1: you know, Aj Browns to Fond Diggs, like that was 1302 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 1: the perfect timing of our quarterback is as sending, and 1303 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 1: we want to pair him with somebody that is a 1304 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: number one bona fide stud wide receiver that's also going 1305 01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,200 Speaker 1: to be able to hit his prime or hit a 1306 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,880 Speaker 1: good part of his career at the same time as 1307 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Otherwise you feel like you're you're shrinking your window. 1308 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,280 Speaker 1: Like with Hopkins, I think it becomes a two year thing. 1309 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: What if Mac is only a two year thing? But 1310 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: you still would benefit from having like whoever the next 1311 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 1: quarterback is would benefit from having t Higgins right Dylan 1312 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 1: and Nashville. All I can picture when Fred questions what 1313 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,960 Speaker 1: Gerard actually does is a scene in office space where 1314 01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,720 Speaker 1: Tommikowski keeps telling the consultants that he has people skills 1315 01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,439 Speaker 1: looking forward to some offseason slot soap talk. He does, 1316 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,760 Speaker 1: what would you say it is you do here? Uh? 1317 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Dave writes in he says, Fred, you ignored my email 1318 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:27,160 Speaker 1: last week. All Tamara, there are able and willing agents 1319 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 1: trying to get teams to hire their clients. There are 1320 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,280 Speaker 1: lists out there. Talk to the agents about their HUT coaches. 1321 01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Rooney rule. Okay, all right, Well 1322 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 1: that's why they report the interviews, so that they get 1323 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,280 Speaker 1: their name, the agents get the names of the coaches 1324 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 1: out there. Then you get to know these guys that 1325 01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 1: are candidates, even if they're not really a real candidate. 1326 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 1: How about the dude from the Cowboys missing his first 1327 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:53,400 Speaker 1: four extra points last night? I can I have like 1328 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 1: a little minor nit to pick two with with regard 1329 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,000 Speaker 1: to the coverage of these games, Like so he missed 1330 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,280 Speaker 1: the first there was no drama in that game, Like 1331 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 1: that game was over. I don't know how you felt, like, 1332 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you like I didn't. I didn't 1333 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,160 Speaker 1: even watch a second At one point I think they said, 1334 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,800 Speaker 1: I think Joe Bucks said, or Aikman I think might 1335 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: have been Aikman said, you know, you know, anybody else 1336 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,040 Speaker 1: playing quarterback bail of the team, and people would probably 1337 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 1: have tuned out. But you can't ye with him, you know. 1338 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: But I did like it was over. So they score 1339 01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 1: a fifth touchdown and they kind of missed the extra point, 1340 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 1: like I don't know how as ESPN, there's nothing else 1341 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,439 Speaker 1: of any interest in this game. Right, it's a blowout, 1342 01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: the game's over. Is he gonna miss five? I'm like, 1343 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,519 Speaker 1: I want to see it, right, I mean it was 1344 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 1: like a car crash. You can't look away. And they didn't. 1345 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,160 Speaker 1: They kind of missed it. They kind of missed the 1346 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,080 Speaker 1: last extra point, the one he made. Yeah, speaking of coverage, 1347 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,920 Speaker 1: al Michaels and Tony Dungey got panned horrible for their game. Yeah, 1348 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,160 Speaker 1: and they didn't do it. They didn't really. It was lifeless. 1349 01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,880 Speaker 1: It was like Dungee is kind of lifeless. Yeah, al 1350 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:59,800 Speaker 1: Michaels is a snore. What did they do? Because they 1351 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,519 Speaker 1: turned the proper energy to come back? It was a 1352 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,640 Speaker 1: twenty seven to nothing come back, and you would have 1353 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 1: thought that it was I just didn't notice five. I 1354 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: really didn't notice until I went until I went on Twitter, 1355 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,280 Speaker 1: I noticed, And I think it was the only person 1356 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 1: on the planet that didn't notice. I think on Beetle 1357 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: and Zoe yesterday, they were just replaying the like last 1358 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,479 Speaker 1: segment of the like the last play of the game, 1359 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,560 Speaker 1: and it was completely like you'd have no idea that 1360 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 1: they that they Oh and there's a flag though that 1361 01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,800 Speaker 1: maybe all right, it looks like it's like it just 1362 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,679 Speaker 1: completely fizzled out at the end. Now they like, Wow, 1363 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,640 Speaker 1: what a comeback or anything like that. It's time for 1364 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,799 Speaker 1: album Michaels to hang it out. I think so Legend, 1365 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,080 Speaker 1: just like Brady Legend, hall of famer in his in 1366 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: his profession, he's seventy eight years old, like at some 1367 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,160 Speaker 1: point like you're bringing the energy at eighty years old 1368 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:46,639 Speaker 1: is just And now I guess the de facto best 1369 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,960 Speaker 1: analysts in the business is Greg Olsen. Oh, I thought 1370 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 1: it was pretty good. He's all right. I don't know 1371 01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 1: about best in the business. That's what I'm saying because 1372 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't pay attention enough to what these guys say. 1373 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 1: But I I, did you know that that was the 1374 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,600 Speaker 1: Giants game? Right? Giants Vikings? He did? Yeah? I thought he. 1375 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 1: I thought he's good. I thought he was pretty good. 1376 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,640 Speaker 1: That was the only game I didn't catch. I think 1377 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,600 Speaker 1: the the my favorite boosts are the ones where I 1378 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: think a couple of weeks ago they had Riddick and 1379 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 1: Orlovsky and the boosts. So then you get the quarterback 1380 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 1: perspective and then you get the dB perspective. Too, and 1381 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 1: they kind of go back and forth about the chess 1382 01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,560 Speaker 1: matches and the cat and mouse games and stuff like that. 1383 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,160 Speaker 1: I love those types of boots because you get you 1384 01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,640 Speaker 1: really get in the head of like, Okay, well the 1385 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 1: safeties are reading this and the quarterbacks reading that, and 1386 01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:33,560 Speaker 1: get to understand what's going on Alex and Raleigh. With 1387 01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots announcing they're looking for noc in the talks 1388 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 1: of moving to a Shanahan type offense, do you think 1389 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,720 Speaker 1: it would be smart to also find an old line coach? Yeah? 1390 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Are their talks about moving to a Shanahan offense, Well, 1391 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:48,840 Speaker 1: there was last year. It was last year. I don't 1392 01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do. I don't know who they're 1393 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,760 Speaker 1: gonna hire, but they need an offensive line coach either way. Yeah, 1394 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean, unless Patricia's going to stay the offensive line coach. 1395 01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,120 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's going to happen, but know 1396 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,680 Speaker 1: they need they need one, Thank them, send them on. 1397 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:05,599 Speaker 1: Does anyone think that they're going to get a new 1398 01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,680 Speaker 1: special teams coach or though I do, I do think 1399 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,599 Speaker 1: Joe Judge backed into that position. I mean, I think 1400 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,120 Speaker 1: that was some of the speculative speculation with with Zoe. 1401 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 1: I mean I think that would be I just doesn't 1402 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:19,360 Speaker 1: it fine if you're a cam Accord, what what are 1403 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,040 Speaker 1: you doing? Right? I I understand that maybe he doesn't 1404 01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 1: have a ton of options at the end of the day, 1405 01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:26,439 Speaker 1: but is he a full special teams guy throw them 1406 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 1: through forever? Yeah? And I just they also have Joe 1407 01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 1: Houston on staff, who's the assistant special teams coach. So 1408 01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 1: then cam Accord becomes the assistant and Joe Houston becomes 1409 01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 1: the assistant to the assistant. Like everybody gets the motive, right, 1410 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm just not. I agree that that's a problem area 1411 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 1: of the team, but I just don't know how you 1412 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,559 Speaker 1: move Judge back to Special Teams and then cam Accord 1413 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 1: still in the building, Like, I don't know how that 1414 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 1: how could he be the assistant? I agree with you 1415 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 1: on that, it's like remedial because that's what Zoe had. Yeah, 1416 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,360 Speaker 1: you know, Joe Judge special Teams and then Cam Accord 1417 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,120 Speaker 1: assistant Special Teams Like he's he's going to take a demotion. 1418 01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you do it because what other 1419 01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:06,080 Speaker 1: options do you have. I mean, no one's hireing him. 1420 01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 1: Sean writes in I'm mostly joking but I wonder what 1421 01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,880 Speaker 1: you guys think about TB twelve coming back. Yeah yeah, 1422 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:21,920 Speaker 1: over my dead body yet think I mean, I mean, 1423 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: I would take him, but I don't think that. I 1424 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 1: don't think there's any player like a one day retirement ceremony. 1425 01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 1: He signed that. I'm talking about playing. He signed that 1426 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 1: football for Logan Ryan. He said that's the last pass 1427 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 1: as a Patriot. I just from a football perspective, I 1428 01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 1: don't get it from either party. This team is not 1429 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,040 Speaker 1: a forty six year old Tom Brady away from winning 1430 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, and for the Patriots, then you're just 1431 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: right back in the position that you were in twenty 1432 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 1: twenty when he decides to retire. So I just I 1433 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: don't understand it from either perspective why that would make 1434 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:55,920 Speaker 1: any sense? Yemi in Texas, this is mostly for evidence. 1435 01:12:55,960 --> 01:13:00,519 Speaker 1: Sounds like why are you guys reluctant to give Brock credit? 1436 01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,080 Speaker 1: He's what mac Jones was sold as, unlike mac Purdy 1437 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,200 Speaker 1: was a four year starter in college and played with 1438 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 1: inferior talent every week. I think that has helped him 1439 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,360 Speaker 1: adjust to the NFL, where he has a better team 1440 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 1: around him. Signed missus Purdy, I just what am I 1441 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,000 Speaker 1: supposed to say to that. They're like, Okay, if we 1442 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 1: put take how many quarterbacks in the league in that 1443 01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,679 Speaker 1: offense do you will against that defense on Sunday on Saturday. 1444 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,200 Speaker 1: That's one I definitely would have pushed back on before 1445 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,720 Speaker 1: Purdy because every other quarterback who's played for Shanahan other 1446 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 1: than Jimmy loses. This guy's six and oh or whatever 1447 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,719 Speaker 1: it is. But wins and loss is not even about 1448 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,400 Speaker 1: that though, right, Like it's the kind of think it 1449 01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 1: is a little bit about that. I don't know that's 1450 01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm not a wins his losses as a quarterback stack guy. 1451 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:50,600 Speaker 1: But you have the like Jimmy Garoppolo was third in 1452 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 1: the league this year in EPA when he was in there, 1453 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,000 Speaker 1: they had a top five offense with Jimmy two, so 1454 01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 1: that I don't really think it matters who plays quarterback 1455 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 1: for him. I think Trey could play quarterback for him 1456 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,000 Speaker 1: next week and they put up thirty points. But when 1457 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 1: he did play quarterback, they didn't do that. That's That's 1458 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:09,840 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, is he was They've had Jimmy, Jimmy. 1459 01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,200 Speaker 1: Jimmy's record with San Francisco was ridiculous, right, They've been 1460 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,360 Speaker 1: a machine, regardless of if it's Purty or if it's 1461 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Right. But but there's been a lot of other 1462 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,720 Speaker 1: guys that it hasn't been a machine, like the Nick 1463 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,599 Speaker 1: Mullins in the CJ. Bethards of the world Y CJ. 1464 01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 1: Bethard had a better track record coming out of college 1465 01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,160 Speaker 1: than Brock Purdy did. Did he also have Christian McCaffrey 1466 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,120 Speaker 1: and he didn't. He didn't have McCaffrey, but he had 1467 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,320 Speaker 1: those other guys. Sure, I just I think that this 1468 01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 1: Niners run would have been exactly the same with any 1469 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not ready to 1470 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,960 Speaker 1: say that. Did you know that Monte Assin Ford is 1471 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,880 Speaker 1: the new GM of the Cardinals? Yes, Actually somebody said 1472 01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: it already today in this show. I think Evan mentioned 1473 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,400 Speaker 1: it missed. Yeah, he uh. We talked about Billy O'Brien 1474 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,840 Speaker 1: has a Really you said that, didn't you, Evan? Was 1475 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 1: that off air? Yeah, owing to Arizona. Yeah, Billy O'Brien has, 1476 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,639 Speaker 1: I guess a little bit of a relationship with Austin Ford, 1477 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: as does Brian Flores. So both of those guys I 1478 01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,840 Speaker 1: think could be in the mix. Yeah, he's beyond the 1479 01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,960 Speaker 1: staff in some capacity and nice things to say Crafts 1480 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 1: and and Belichick a couple quotes from him. So yeah, uh, 1481 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,000 Speaker 1: Ben writes in from Brooklyn. Two things that flew under 1482 01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 1: the radar and special teams were the Cody Davis injury 1483 01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:27,559 Speaker 1: in the Justin Bethel departure from Miami. Any chance they 1484 01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 1: resigned the ladder Justin Bethel? I hope not. I felt 1485 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 1: like schooler. Didn't they get rid of Bethel after a 1486 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,120 Speaker 1: FELI Schooler was kind of coming home? Yeah, Cody Davis. 1487 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:37,760 Speaker 1: One's interesting, do you want to throw another one in? 1488 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,560 Speaker 1: Their schooler didn't play in the last game. They have 1489 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 1: to kickoff returns. What is that cliche about cause, cause 1490 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 1: and effect? No, Like, I don't know, I'll figure it 1491 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 1: outation correlation, one of those those between that between that 1492 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,800 Speaker 1: punter and kickoff deficiencies. Perhaps Bill was onto something with 1493 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 1: those big splash signings in prior years of special teamers. 1494 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,120 Speaker 1: On the first day of free agency. Yeah, I mean 1495 01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:09,040 Speaker 1: it's again that Deis goes back to like things that 1496 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: you came to believe about the Patriots, and you know 1497 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 1: that's and that's like and it also goes to the 1498 01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 1: point I said earlier of like offensive tackle, wide receiver, cornerback, 1499 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 1: like those are the positions to think about and focus on. 1500 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 1: We don't need a fourth rounder who might play special 1501 01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,680 Speaker 1: teams like you know, like I know they did bad 1502 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: last year. I'm fine to just let them develop and 1503 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,120 Speaker 1: see what happens. Bring Joe Judge back and let it 1504 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 1: take care of itself. Jack and Anaba writes in is 1505 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,800 Speaker 1: Mac Jones a championship caliber quarterback? If he is, then 1506 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots should proceed to build a championship roster around him. 1507 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 1: If he isn't, then the Patriots highest priorities should be 1508 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,880 Speaker 1: to acquire a quarterback who has the potential to become 1509 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 1: a championship caliber quarterback. The Patriots don't know whether Mac 1510 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,479 Speaker 1: is a championship caliber quarterback. How are they going to 1511 01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 1: find out? What do you think? I think they need 1512 01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,600 Speaker 1: to build the roster regardless, Like I think it was 1513 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: to Paul's point about te Higgins, whether it's macer it's 1514 01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 1: it's Lamar Jackson, Like you need the players around the 1515 01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 1: quarterback either way, So I don't think it's it's kind 1516 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:13,479 Speaker 1: of a chicken or the egg thing, like right, it 1517 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,600 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter which one. Well an he won a 1518 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,960 Speaker 1: national championship. Does that count? Does he does that make 1519 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:23,559 Speaker 1: him a championship quarterback? If you want a championship, get 1520 01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:29,840 Speaker 1: Josh Hypele next No l at Wisconsin. Two things, First, 1521 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 1: I think that's since it's a week wide receiver class, 1522 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,560 Speaker 1: you can book a wide receiver. And two, do you 1523 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,080 Speaker 1: have any names of fourth round tackles? I want to 1524 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:43,720 Speaker 1: know who we're taking at fourteen. I disagree with the 1525 01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 1: week wide receiver comment. I don't think I think he's 1526 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 1: being funny, but anyway, but I disagree. Anyways, it's not 1527 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,880 Speaker 1: it's not top heavy like we've seen in years pass 1528 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,599 Speaker 1: right and years passed, when you have Waddle and all 1529 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,000 Speaker 1: the you know, Davante Smith and Ceedee Lamb and like 1530 01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,200 Speaker 1: every wide receiver under the sign of those are off 1531 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,760 Speaker 1: from different classes. But my point is is that he 1532 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,320 Speaker 1: had all these wide receivers, but they had This is 1533 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: a really strong depth wide receiver class that I would 1534 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:12,439 Speaker 1: say more resembles maybe like twenty nineteen when you had 1535 01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,720 Speaker 1: I think Hollywood Brown was the highest wide receiver pick 1536 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,759 Speaker 1: in that draft, and like the twenties, and the Patriots 1537 01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:20,680 Speaker 1: obviously took to kill Harry at thirty two. But then 1538 01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 1: you also had A J. Brown and Deebo Samuel and 1539 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin and Hunter Renfro and all these guys go 1540 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: after that, So DK metcalf. So I think that that's 1541 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 1: where the sweet spot for this wide receiver classes is, 1542 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,559 Speaker 1: like Day two, like the second and third round wide receivers. 1543 01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,120 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna there's gonna be some players in 1544 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:40,760 Speaker 1: that top one hundred for sure. And final prediction, Dradmeo 1545 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:43,560 Speaker 1: is the next head coach of the n EP. The 1546 01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,120 Speaker 1: report says a long term deal, and I wouldn't exactly 1547 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,759 Speaker 1: expect Bill at seventy one to be the long term coach. 1548 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,320 Speaker 1: Just wonder how much of a did they actually talk 1549 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:54,840 Speaker 1: about these things. I mean, it's just like, you know, 1550 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 1: with something dangled for him, you know, as Bill on 1551 01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,160 Speaker 1: board with that, it's this, you know, Craft's kind of 1552 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 1: that's putting something in a place's point My thing. I 1553 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:06,280 Speaker 1: want to ask the panel, like forgetting about what you 1554 01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 1: think of Gerard Mayo as a coach. Do you think 1555 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 1: it's a good thing to have the coach and waiting 1556 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,439 Speaker 1: like are you okay with that? Well, what's the precedent? 1557 01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:19,439 Speaker 1: Have we ever seen that before? Not? I'm not talking 1558 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 1: about here, but anywhere, like where the coach and waiting 1559 01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,880 Speaker 1: was on the team. Well, it's happened. I was gonna 1560 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: say it's happened, but it never really comes to fruition, 1561 01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,320 Speaker 1: right right. Um. For a different reason, I'm trying to 1562 01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 1: separate my personal feelings from this, because obviously, if Gerard 1563 01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:34,559 Speaker 1: Mayo was the head coach here, it will be wonderful. 1564 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 1: It'd be great for us because we like him and 1565 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:38,560 Speaker 1: we have good relationships with him, and it would be 1566 01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 1: it would be good for us. How do you know, 1567 01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,519 Speaker 1: maybe he'd be worse than Bill when it comes to access. No, 1568 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm serious. When it comes to access, he might, but 1569 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: not when it comes to his interactions. Oh. The reason 1570 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 1: I don't like it has nothing to do with Bill. 1571 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 1: I don't like it because how do we know Girard 1572 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:56,600 Speaker 1: Mayo is the best guy for the job. Well that 1573 01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,719 Speaker 1: that That's basically what my question is. Like, I'm opening 1574 01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:01,720 Speaker 1: it to when we get two years down the line 1575 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,800 Speaker 1: and let's say Bill says I'm done, I'm retiring, and 1576 01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:06,720 Speaker 1: they say, oh, we're going to hand the keys off 1577 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,519 Speaker 1: to Girard Mayo. He's the coach in waiting. But let's 1578 01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,719 Speaker 1: say somebody else is available that is a better candidate 1579 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 1: than I don't know if I'm going to be too 1580 01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,800 Speaker 1: thrilled that they're just handing it to Gerard Mayo. It's 1581 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: the example that I used this year of you know, 1582 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people would really just scoff at you 1583 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:28,360 Speaker 1: if you even mentioned the mere possibility that Robert sat 1584 01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 1: down with Bill Belichick and said we're going to go 1585 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,320 Speaker 1: in a different direction Bill after this season. How can 1586 01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:35,599 Speaker 1: you do that well, because maybe there's a guy available 1587 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,040 Speaker 1: that you didn't know it was going to be available, 1588 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,360 Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Now I'm not telling you I'd rather have 1589 01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:45,639 Speaker 1: Sean Payton than Bill. I wouldn't, but someone might rationally 1590 01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 1: think that Sean Payton would be a better option. Maybe 1591 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 1: they're looking at the final eight coaches that are left 1592 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,400 Speaker 1: in the playoffs right now, seeing that seven of them 1593 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 1: have an offensive background. In Bill's more of a defensive background, 1594 01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,559 Speaker 1: so is Gerrod Mayo. Maybe you'd rather have John Payton 1595 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,120 Speaker 1: as an offensive guy to sort of keep up with 1596 01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:07,640 Speaker 1: the Joneses. I don't think that's a like irrational thought. No, 1597 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,040 Speaker 1: Juan and Mexico has a would you rather game? He says, 1598 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,720 Speaker 1: this is my first game if they suck, I apologize. 1599 01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,960 Speaker 1: Um love games. Would you rather Mac with Hopkins and 1600 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien or Lamar Jackson with Matt Patricia? Well, I 1601 01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:30,639 Speaker 1: know what's your first game. It's called conundrum. But let's 1602 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:34,639 Speaker 1: make it an absolute impossibility for Bill O'Brien and DeAndre Hopkins. 1603 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:39,639 Speaker 1: That can happen. Right, A lot of layers to this question. Yeah, 1604 01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:44,240 Speaker 1: I would rather have Lamar Jackson. I would. I know 1605 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: you guys wouldn't because no one likes who's gonna pay him, 1606 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:51,880 Speaker 1: including Ravens Lamar Jackson. I like Lamar Jackson. I just 1607 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 1: don't know if I could picture him here, just a 1608 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,599 Speaker 1: very specific one. Why No, I'm not I'm not saying 1609 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: that the money, saying I would rather have him here 1610 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,720 Speaker 1: than Mac Jones because of the money. You can't see 1611 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:06,080 Speaker 1: him here, Um, I just for for many reasons. I 1612 01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:08,240 Speaker 1: just I couldn't see him here. Where's the current If 1613 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:10,960 Speaker 1: the Ravens don't resign him, where's he gonna go? So, 1614 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 1: so here's the Patriots, one of the favorites in the 1615 01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 1: betting world. Yes, anybody rabbit rant about this and I'm 1616 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 1: gonna save But like, has anybody ever actually seen if 1617 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 1: Vegas is ever right about any of this, because we 1618 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,400 Speaker 1: all just assume, oh, Vegas knows something, and they put 1619 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:30,439 Speaker 1: they put those odds. But for Lamar Jackson, this is 1620 01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:33,120 Speaker 1: the let me like map this out for people that 1621 01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,559 Speaker 1: want Lamar Jackson, because I love Lamar Jackson. I think 1622 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:39,360 Speaker 1: he's an awesome quarterback, awesome player. The Ravens are gonna 1623 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 1: tag him. Okay, they're not gonna lose him for nothing, 1624 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,000 Speaker 1: so they're gonna tag and trade him. So now you're 1625 01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 1: gonna tag him. You're probably gonna give up at least 1626 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 1: a first round pick for Lamar Jackson. Then you're gonna 1627 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,320 Speaker 1: pay Lamar Jackson forty five million dollars a year, and 1628 01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,479 Speaker 1: then you're gonna overhaul your entire offensive system to fit 1629 01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,559 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson exactly like these are. It's just a lot. 1630 01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:02,960 Speaker 1: It's a lot. Now, if you had of his system 1631 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,760 Speaker 1: in place that already is pointed in that direction as 1632 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:08,720 Speaker 1: it is, then it maybe it's not as much. But 1633 01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 1: there's so few teams that have that scenario. Or if 1634 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 1: you're a team like the Jets, where it's you just 1635 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,880 Speaker 1: gotta do it. So it makes sense for the Ravens 1636 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,519 Speaker 1: to tag him because it's one year. You're gonna pay 1637 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,000 Speaker 1: him what the tag now forty million or something like that, 1638 01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:25,360 Speaker 1: So you're gonna pay him forty millions. So it's worth 1639 01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:28,439 Speaker 1: that to just pay him to play for one year 1640 01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:31,519 Speaker 1: and you don't have the risk of a long term contry. 1641 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 1: He's not playing on the tag, but okay, so that's 1642 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,559 Speaker 1: the second thing. Will he play? No, he won't play 1643 01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,360 Speaker 1: on the tag, And I don't blame him because for 1644 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 1: his with his playing style, this is the contract that 1645 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 1: he has to maximize his value and get that guaranteed money. 1646 01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,200 Speaker 1: Because as we saw this year, the knee blows out, 1647 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,599 Speaker 1: and so you'd rather sit out and not get paid 1648 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:59,240 Speaker 1: than play. I think so he might be right. I 1649 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,439 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, he did it this year. I 1650 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,360 Speaker 1: think it's pretty I think the evidence is starting to 1651 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 1: stack up that he probably could have played, yeah, in 1652 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:11,080 Speaker 1: the playoff game. Now, I think he made the right 1653 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,760 Speaker 1: choice not playing. You know, I could envision like a 1654 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:18,160 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin situation happening with him. He goes out and 1655 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 1: plays a playoff game, and then he does further damage 1656 01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:23,160 Speaker 1: and his career is never the same. But I like 1657 01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:26,640 Speaker 1: your point Fred about like, if you're the Ravens. You 1658 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:28,680 Speaker 1: can kind of afford to play a little bit of 1659 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,639 Speaker 1: chicken with him because everything that Evan just mapped out, 1660 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,599 Speaker 1: it's not as easy as like you have this great 1661 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,759 Speaker 1: I love Lamar Jackson. I am higher on Lamar Jackson 1662 01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:44,080 Speaker 1: than most people around here for sure. But that's really 1663 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:48,439 Speaker 1: the only team that's kind of like done it for him, 1664 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:50,920 Speaker 1: right So who else is going to give him two 1665 01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,800 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million guaranteed right right and hired Gregor 1666 01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,639 Speaker 1: Roman and build the offensive system that they need to build. 1667 01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 1: I think Lamar's pride could be factor. What I would wonder, 1668 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: big factor, Like I wouldn't overhaul my system. I would 1669 01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:08,560 Speaker 1: I would roll that. Now it's big gamble, but I 1670 01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,519 Speaker 1: would roll the dice and see if he could play 1671 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,439 Speaker 1: more traditionally like Deshaun Watson does. Yeah, it's not like 1672 01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,160 Speaker 1: he's coming out of college. He's a better passer now 1673 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 1: than he was, and he could still run. He could 1674 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,320 Speaker 1: still make play. But I don't have to have like 1675 01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards and JK. Dobbins in the backfield and to 1676 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 1: just play smash mouth all day, you know, with a 1677 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,880 Speaker 1: three hundred pound defensive lineman as my fullback. Well, that's 1678 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,320 Speaker 1: I don't have to have it that way. The bang, 1679 01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 1: I think it was Jesse Bates on the Bengals was like, well, 1680 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna play We're not gonna play the wing tea 1681 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,800 Speaker 1: this week. You know about the about the Ravens. But 1682 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 1: I think that your point about deshaun's interesting because if 1683 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's the higher and then Bill O'Brien runs the 1684 01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:54,240 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson offense with Lamar Jackson he played, he did 1685 01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,120 Speaker 1: really well with Deshaun Watson as a young quarterback too. 1686 01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,559 Speaker 1: I mean, I look, I love Lamar Jackson too. He's 1687 01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,560 Speaker 1: one of my favorit players in the league. I just 1688 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 1: think that all of the optics of what you'd have 1689 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:06,200 Speaker 1: to give up to get them, then what you would 1690 01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 1: have to pay him, and then the overhaul that you 1691 01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,360 Speaker 1: would have to do to fit the system around him, 1692 01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:12,840 Speaker 1: and it's just a lot of steps that where things 1693 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:14,960 Speaker 1: could easily go wrong. And if you're Lamar, you have 1694 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 1: to understand those things right, like, like what do you 1695 01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 1: want if you're him, Like, because you're asking so much 1696 01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,719 Speaker 1: from a team, how many teams can do all those things? 1697 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:24,559 Speaker 1: And on the other side of it, in year one, 1698 01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,479 Speaker 1: they're contenders. With Lamar Jackson, it seems like any team 1699 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,679 Speaker 1: would probably have a year at least to two years 1700 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,639 Speaker 1: of rejiggering. You know, Like Lamar, you're gonna go somewhere 1701 01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:35,000 Speaker 1: and they're gonna pay you a ton and they're gonna 1702 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,680 Speaker 1: build around you, but you're probably gonna have to wait 1703 01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 1: a couple of years before really contending. It depends where 1704 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,840 Speaker 1: it comes, like, and I don't know what the what 1705 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:44,000 Speaker 1: the different options are, but there are teams that I 1706 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:48,400 Speaker 1: think that need quarterbacks that could be pretty close. Like, again, 1707 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,240 Speaker 1: this comes down to Evan and I think more of 1708 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson than you do. And that's no disrespecting, Like 1709 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 1: everybody has an opinion on different players. Yeah, Like just 1710 01:26:56,200 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: like if he goes to the Jets, No, that's if 1711 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 1: that's scary. If you absolutely, if you went to the Jets, 1712 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,479 Speaker 1: it would work like they could be if if he 1713 01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,640 Speaker 1: if he goes to the Jets, that's a team that 1714 01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,519 Speaker 1: can contend right away, didn't Josh McDaniels love him coming 1715 01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,760 Speaker 1: out of the draft. Well that was so the other 1716 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,320 Speaker 1: thing that you have to remember with Lamar Jackson is 1717 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 1: that he doesn't have an agent and his his mom 1718 01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:24,000 Speaker 1: runs his life. So if you want Lamar Jackson, then 1719 01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:26,040 Speaker 1: you gotta get Mama Jackson. What are you gonna do 1720 01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:29,400 Speaker 1: for my baby? Oh no, that's exactly. She's a scary woman. 1721 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:34,040 Speaker 1: From what I've heard, she's she's really His life is 1722 01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:37,680 Speaker 1: a movie like that. Someday there's like gonna be a 1723 01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,040 Speaker 1: Lamar like a blind Side movie, but like with Lamar 1724 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 1: Jackson and his mom because that, Michael, come on, you're 1725 01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:51,000 Speaker 1: that mom is. I've seen her in action, and she is. 1726 01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,479 Speaker 1: She's terrified. I fully believe that. I mean I still 1727 01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,800 Speaker 1: remember the draft and just how they kept cutting the 1728 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,000 Speaker 1: camera back to him, like, oh see, he should have 1729 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,439 Speaker 1: gone as a wide receiver. You should have gotten receivers 1730 01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:02,920 Speaker 1: still waiting around. I can't wait to see like the 1731 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,320 Speaker 1: story with that. Your point is very valid, Fred with Baltimore, 1732 01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,320 Speaker 1: because they might be looking at us like we're the 1733 01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,000 Speaker 1: team that's built it for you, right right. But at 1734 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 1: the same time, and I heard this ridiculous criticism. I 1735 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,600 Speaker 1: think it was Marcus Spears was talking about, you know, 1736 01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,880 Speaker 1: they they've let him down, the franchises let him down. 1737 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,160 Speaker 1: They had Mark Andrews lined up at the X. You know, 1738 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,400 Speaker 1: in the two minute drill down the step. Well, yeah, 1739 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:35,840 Speaker 1: Richard Bateman's hurt, Devin Duvernai's hurt. Like, I'm not telling 1740 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,519 Speaker 1: you that that's like the equivalent of Stefan Diggs and 1741 01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:42,680 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson because it's not. But those are competent NFL receivers. 1742 01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 1: And when they were here in Week three, they threw 1743 01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 1: the ball in an NFL style, not just a gimmick style. 1744 01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:51,599 Speaker 1: The touchdown catch that Duvernai had in the corner below 1745 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,439 Speaker 1: us and in the ends, that was a great throw 1746 01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 1: and catch. Like they didn't have those playmakers, you'd throwing 1747 01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:02,040 Speaker 1: the ball too. What's the guy? His name Crochet, James Crochet. 1748 01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:07,480 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, like they didn't have those guys available, 1749 01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 1: like they have that team and the first ten weeks 1750 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 1: of the season was a contender in the AFC. Yeah, 1751 01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:15,920 Speaker 1: I also don't get the mark. And it was at 1752 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,920 Speaker 1: the X argument, like the Patriots has to do that 1753 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,680 Speaker 1: with Gronk all the time. They would flex him out 1754 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,479 Speaker 1: and let him go one on point being they didn't 1755 01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:23,760 Speaker 1: have anybody else that was the point. Well, they've been 1756 01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,599 Speaker 1: but I mean you completely under the rug that all 1757 01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 1: the guys that they've gotten are not available, right, now, 1758 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean people come after the Patriots, and rightfully so 1759 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:36,479 Speaker 1: for drafting Hollywood Brown. H Bateman has been hurt. I 1760 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:38,880 Speaker 1: think he's talented, but he's been hurt. Duvernet is an 1761 01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,240 Speaker 1: interesting player, but he's kind of like a gadgety receiver 1762 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,800 Speaker 1: and not only traditional. Yeah, they've had a really tough 1763 01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:49,240 Speaker 1: miles and they both have their both that's that's that's 1764 01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:54,280 Speaker 1: really interesting. They're both tied Baltimore and the Patriots ideology 1765 01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,559 Speaker 1: is very similar, and they both struggle at the same position. Yeah. 1766 01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,880 Speaker 1: I never really thought about it, and Baltimore can drafted 1767 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,720 Speaker 1: every position, yes, except uh so Wan your first Uh 1768 01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:07,160 Speaker 1: would you rather it was pretty good? Oh? Wow? Sorry? 1769 01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 1: Yeah no, uh second, would you rather Matt becomes Matt 1770 01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:15,640 Speaker 1: Ryan level or Zappi becomes Kirk Cousins level? Those are 1771 01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:17,880 Speaker 1: two different levels. I know I'm gonna take the Matt 1772 01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:23,200 Speaker 1: Ryan lewe Yeah, MVP quarterback that can't ever win it. 1773 01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,479 Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan's better than Kirk Cousins, but not 1774 01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:28,519 Speaker 1: by a ton. Yeah, I'm with Paul. I was going 1775 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,080 Speaker 1: to say, okay, all right, I think Matt Ryan. You know, 1776 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,559 Speaker 1: this is to you a point about the shanty An system. 1777 01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,240 Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan had one outlier year. I think 1778 01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:42,160 Speaker 1: otherwise he's been good. With all Patriots. I was giving 1779 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,320 Speaker 1: you credit. Do I have to put it in writing? Yes, 1780 01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:48,559 Speaker 1: all Patriots games called by Al Michaels and Tony Dungee 1781 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,800 Speaker 1: or all Patriots games called by Romo. See, it doesn't 1782 01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:56,320 Speaker 1: affect us. What happened to What game was that where 1783 01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,799 Speaker 1: Romo was on it? And I was like, yeah, he's 1784 01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:03,280 Speaker 1: when his first couple of years, I was like, Wow, 1785 01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 1: this guy's great. He's a breath of fresh air. Like 1786 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, like if somebody said, you know, stop 1787 01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:12,000 Speaker 1: telling people what's gonna happen before it happens. Don't do 1788 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:13,439 Speaker 1: that anything. That was the only thing you brought to 1789 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:16,160 Speaker 1: the table, and they don't do it hems and haws 1790 01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:18,439 Speaker 1: until it happens. And yeah, that's what I thought was 1791 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,439 Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's one Jim. It's like, Tony, what do 1792 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:29,479 Speaker 1: you think the Jim? It's like that he cashed in 1793 01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,360 Speaker 1: and he's the second. Yeah, you get worse at it. 1794 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:37,080 Speaker 1: The best boys. The Bills took the field in the 1795 01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:39,439 Speaker 1: second half of their first drive the third quarter, and 1796 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:41,760 Speaker 1: he goes, I just feel like the bills are gonna 1797 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:44,840 Speaker 1: take off here and then it was a fumble sect 1798 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:49,879 Speaker 1: wrong And this one is for Mike, Paul and Tamara. 1799 01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:54,200 Speaker 1: Five days a week for unfiltered shows, or five postgame 1800 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:59,519 Speaker 1: shows after primetime game. Five days a week of regular shows. Yeah, 1801 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:03,360 Speaker 1: the week, those nights, those night postgame shows. Grandpa Paul 1802 01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:05,559 Speaker 1: can't handle the post the post games. I have theme 1803 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,400 Speaker 1: i'd see to me, like the postgame show, like you 1804 01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:12,160 Speaker 1: get all that? I love. I love the post the 1805 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,479 Speaker 1: Postgame Show is my favorite show of the week. It is, Yeah, 1806 01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,320 Speaker 1: it is. I'm just saying specifically after the primetime games, 1807 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:21,200 Speaker 1: especially this year's. Yeah, they're the smallest file. If we're 1808 01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:23,600 Speaker 1: going to do this, anybody have to get on the 1809 01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:27,639 Speaker 1: money after those primetime games and then fly across the plane. 1810 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,439 Speaker 1: So like, if you're food, should we tell him what 1811 01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:34,519 Speaker 1: an overnight is. I don't think he understands. Now, try 1812 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,160 Speaker 1: do when every newspaper guys are coming after you come 1813 01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,200 Speaker 1: home and having four hours of work to do it's 1814 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:42,080 Speaker 1: a newspaperman and having having someone have to shuffle the 1815 01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 1: photos down to photo map. So you should be thinking, 1816 01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:47,639 Speaker 1: my generation, it's now all dot com and you don't 1817 01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:50,280 Speaker 1: have to do that anymore. You're worth Internet. But yeah, 1818 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,519 Speaker 1: you know nothing of late nights coming home. You get 1819 01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:55,960 Speaker 1: on the plane, you come home nights in early mornings, 1820 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 1: you go home. Yeah, and they come right back O 1821 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,400 Speaker 1: my world problems from all of us right now. Then 1822 01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,760 Speaker 1: there was that there was a short time frame where 1823 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:06,679 Speaker 1: Fred started the pre and post game shows and Andy 1824 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,960 Speaker 1: and I stopped traveling, and but we still did the paper. 1825 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:15,080 Speaker 1: So they would be in like Denver and we'd be 1826 01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:18,360 Speaker 1: done with the postgame show. You know, let's say like midnight. 1827 01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:20,200 Speaker 1: Didn't have to wait for them to get home, like 1828 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,360 Speaker 1: six am. You wouldn't let you go out. We had 1829 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,200 Speaker 1: all the stuff done, we had all the pages written, 1830 01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,479 Speaker 1: you know, but we had to wait for the photos 1831 01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:30,320 Speaker 1: to get you know, like everything to be put in Silverman. 1832 01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:33,400 Speaker 1: It was brutal. We had. We had like two hours 1833 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 1: of editing to do when we got back. Yeah, I 1834 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:38,080 Speaker 1: mean we actually proved it. I had like I would 1835 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,040 Speaker 1: be bad. I had an air mattress in my office 1836 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,360 Speaker 1: and I just blow it up. I'd sleep for a 1837 01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:45,519 Speaker 1: couple of hours wait for them to come in and 1838 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:50,639 Speaker 1: be like, all right, the world's first air matchs. Wow, 1839 01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:54,960 Speaker 1: this guy's tough on me have airback actually made out 1840 01:33:55,000 --> 01:34:00,880 Speaker 1: of straw. It's like Jesus, wow, William, why do you 1841 01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:06,680 Speaker 1: chime in if you're younger than at least seems that way, 1842 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:13,040 Speaker 1: does it does? It doesn't. It's a guy who hasn't 1843 01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:17,000 Speaker 1: walked straight in like twenty years. Okay, let's go. Let's go. 1844 01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:21,160 Speaker 1: There were going? Where were going? They a sport? Andy Hart? Okay, 1845 01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:22,880 Speaker 1: you want to grab a bat. I'll you want to 1846 01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,240 Speaker 1: embarrass yourself like Andy did, I'll beat you like I 1847 01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 1: beat him like a dollar bell bo hey woman, uh 1848 01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:34,120 Speaker 1: seth in Portland, the one in Oregon. I really appreciate 1849 01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,559 Speaker 1: what you do. Lived away from Boston for a long time, 1850 01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:38,240 Speaker 1: and you make it easy to know what's going on 1851 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:42,400 Speaker 1: inside the fan base. Question slash a game. I think 1852 01:34:42,439 --> 01:34:46,280 Speaker 1: the three top offseason needs are impactful players at corner, receiver, 1853 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,439 Speaker 1: in ot. There we go for this question. You have 1854 01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 1: to get one in the first round, one in a 1855 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:55,080 Speaker 1: later round, and one through free agency. Which position would 1856 01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:59,639 Speaker 1: you get where? And who would you target? The target? 1857 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:05,639 Speaker 1: Heart Um, yeah, I guess I would I guess first round, 1858 01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:10,800 Speaker 1: first round. I'd go receiver. Yeah, I'd go corner. It's 1859 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:13,720 Speaker 1: a tough corner class. I go tackle, just because I 1860 01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 1: haven't looked in the class. I know some of the 1861 01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:17,720 Speaker 1: players available, and I think tackles were the best tack 1862 01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:22,200 Speaker 1: I would go tackle. First round receiver, later round in 1863 01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,840 Speaker 1: free agent corner, free agent corner. So I had a 1864 01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:30,919 Speaker 1: question for you. I know that you've always been the athletic, 1865 01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:34,519 Speaker 1: rangy linebacker. That's always been your but you've seemed to 1866 01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:36,760 Speaker 1: come off that a little bit. Yeah. No, and that's 1867 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:41,120 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought that up. Well, part of 1868 01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:44,800 Speaker 1: it is unfortunate resignation that they're probably gonna ride with 1869 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:47,680 Speaker 1: Bentley and they resigned by and so those guys are 1870 01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:50,400 Speaker 1: probably the guys in If they're gonna get somebody like that, 1871 01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:53,160 Speaker 1: it's going to be like a rotational backup kind of guy. 1872 01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:54,880 Speaker 1: So that's why I've made piece of it. But I 1873 01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:57,280 Speaker 1: will say to add a fourth thing to the defense, 1874 01:35:57,360 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 1: I just I think you need somebody in the front seven. 1875 01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 1: It could be a defensive tackle, it could be a 1876 01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,400 Speaker 1: defensive edge player. I just think you need another Chap'll 1877 01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:07,360 Speaker 1: just keep playing the second half of season. That would 1878 01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 1: be nice, you know, hey, that would be great. Um, 1879 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,400 Speaker 1: you want to get back to when you had three 1880 01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:14,960 Speaker 1: first round picks and you had wolf Fork you had, 1881 01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't be able for the days. But 1882 01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,000 Speaker 1: I think just one more, you know, some kind of 1883 01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:22,920 Speaker 1: reinforcement continue building around those guys. If you bring in 1884 01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:25,160 Speaker 1: somebody that could unsee Dietrich wise, I'm not I'm not 1885 01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:27,479 Speaker 1: against it. I think that that could be upgraded. I 1886 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:30,120 Speaker 1: think Bentley could be upgraded, even though I think that 1887 01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 1: they're probably married to him at least for another year. 1888 01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:33,960 Speaker 1: So the reason why I had this best season, the 1889 01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:37,160 Speaker 1: reason why I brought it up, is because they have 1890 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 1: been extremely zone heavy over the last couple of years, 1891 01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:41,639 Speaker 1: and I think they want to get back to playing 1892 01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:45,360 Speaker 1: more man to man ideally, but chasing that Stefan Gilmore, 1893 01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:48,400 Speaker 1: Derell Reeves Corner to play more man to man. If 1894 01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:51,160 Speaker 1: they can't do that, then they gotta get more athletic 1895 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:54,040 Speaker 1: at linebacker to play so much zone. And the one 1896 01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:56,040 Speaker 1: guy that I look at in free agency who I 1897 01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 1: think is really really interesting is Tremaine Edmonds. I knew 1898 01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:00,479 Speaker 1: you were going to say that, and I was like, 1899 01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,879 Speaker 1: because that's another one of those guys that was drafted 1900 01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:06,760 Speaker 1: too high for you to get your hands on him. 1901 01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,200 Speaker 1: And he is a freak. I mean, he's only like 1902 01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:12,240 Speaker 1: twenty four years old. Yeah, really really, Now, I think 1903 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:13,880 Speaker 1: Buffalo is going to find a way to keep them, 1904 01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,960 Speaker 1: because they just pay over the cap until they can 1905 01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,639 Speaker 1: find a way to keep everybody. But I think that's 1906 01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,599 Speaker 1: an interesting one that if he does come free, that's 1907 01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 1: another and that ste find Gilmour style of just there's 1908 01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:28,720 Speaker 1: not that many guys like this that exists. I love it, 1909 01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:30,519 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's why I like looking at the 1910 01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 1: class and maybe I'm a little bit gun shy from 1911 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:35,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. It's like I'd rather just I don't 1912 01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:38,120 Speaker 1: need to sign eight guys that are he's okay. I'd like, 1913 01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:40,760 Speaker 1: I'd rather just give me one, give me one at 1914 01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,680 Speaker 1: that position and put a bunch of I was gonna say, 1915 01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm with Duke. I would rather not have eight knockoffs. 1916 01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:48,600 Speaker 1: I need like name brand like I need ON. I 1917 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:50,599 Speaker 1: don't need. I like it. I don't need some squad 1918 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:56,080 Speaker 1: tie you know she wants. It's like I don't want 1919 01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:59,320 Speaker 1: the Amazon dupe thing. I want the real thing. Like, 1920 01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:01,640 Speaker 1: don't meet someone from a school I think, you know, 1921 01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,400 Speaker 1: you don't know if I have to google what school 1922 01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 1: he came from? The Mox the tackle I think will 1923 01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:12,160 Speaker 1: end up being the first round pick. Yeah, But the 1924 01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:14,280 Speaker 1: way that the question was posed is like, what would 1925 01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 1: you rather like? I'd rather do what Evan's talking about 1926 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,200 Speaker 1: and getting established a tackle and pay for it. I 1927 01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,040 Speaker 1: just don't think they will. Yeah, I don't think they'll 1928 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:26,360 Speaker 1: give him ACCLINCHI or Orlando Brown top of the market tackle. 1929 01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:28,360 Speaker 1: I just like taking a tackle the first because it's 1930 01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,400 Speaker 1: more of a sure thing. Yeah. I don't know why 1931 01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:32,679 Speaker 1: you think that. I just need a lot to happen 1932 01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:34,840 Speaker 1: one day. Better not trade down, they better if anything, 1933 01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:39,200 Speaker 1: no one has time. I just think that when I 1934 01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 1: look at when I look at this free agency class, 1935 01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:44,599 Speaker 1: it's not a great free agency class for the guys 1936 01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,960 Speaker 1: that are expected to hit the market. So I would 1937 01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 1: rather instead of just overpaying somebody at a position to 1938 01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:53,360 Speaker 1: need like they did last time, or they overpaid Nelson 1939 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,920 Speaker 1: Agalore and Johnny Smith just because they needed a tight 1940 01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,880 Speaker 1: end and a wide receiver. You might linebacker might not 1941 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 1: be your biggest knee on the board right now, but 1942 01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:03,880 Speaker 1: Jermaine Edmonds can flat out play, and so that's a 1943 01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:05,639 Speaker 1: guy that comes in and just makes you a better 1944 01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:08,880 Speaker 1: football team. And instead of handing a bag to somebody 1945 01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,679 Speaker 1: that's not really that good, Like, you know, we handed 1946 01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:13,680 Speaker 1: a bag to a Pro Bowl player and I think 1947 01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:15,920 Speaker 1: with him too. He's big. It's not it's not a 1948 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:21,840 Speaker 1: total departure from the body. Yeah, the way that pladed 1949 01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:24,840 Speaker 1: he made against Miami and the flat that that play 1950 01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:27,120 Speaker 1: in coverage, Like they don't have a single book guy 1951 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,240 Speaker 1: on the roster that can make that play. Oh, by 1952 01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,120 Speaker 1: the way, how mad would you have been if Kyle 1953 01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:34,880 Speaker 1: van Noy made that interception that was right in his head? 1954 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:36,920 Speaker 1: He had a couple of those. He's really good at timing. 1955 01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:41,479 Speaker 1: The one in the last drive. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah. 1956 01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:46,240 Speaker 1: He posted on Twitter like a screenshot a note screenshot, 1957 01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:49,920 Speaker 1: like basically apologizing to Chargers fans that they blew a 1958 01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,040 Speaker 1: twenty seven and nothing lead. It's like he never would 1959 01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:56,520 Speaker 1: have done that there. Uh, John and Melbourne in Australia. 1960 01:39:57,120 --> 01:39:58,880 Speaker 1: I know I'm late on this one as I'm catching 1961 01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,000 Speaker 1: up on last week's AT episode, but I was keen 1962 01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,400 Speaker 1: to check out Paul's assertion that Kendrick Bourne would be 1963 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,800 Speaker 1: up there for penalties per snap. I could find penalty numbers, 1964 01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:11,479 Speaker 1: but not per snap, only by positions, So amongst all 1965 01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:16,400 Speaker 1: receivers in the league. He's ranked thirty seventh two with 1966 01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:18,880 Speaker 1: two although there was one to call he had more 1967 01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 1: than two penalties. Please, that's what he said. That's not 1968 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:25,000 Speaker 1: that's whatever that website was is wrong. You're texting Kendrick. 1969 01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:27,439 Speaker 1: I guess my hindsight is off because I was with 1970 01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,000 Speaker 1: Paul feeling that he'd be up there. But Myers has 1971 01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,519 Speaker 1: something more and it's nothing on Metcalf and Hollands, who 1972 01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,280 Speaker 1: leads a position with seven each. Yeah, well Bourne played 1973 01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,600 Speaker 1: probably how mean how many snaps did Bourne played in 1974 01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 1: comparison to That's the thing per snap? You know we 1975 01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:45,040 Speaker 1: could have drafted DK Metcalf. Yeah, we'll forget that. I've 1976 01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:47,760 Speaker 1: heard that. Yes, and if you did, he wouldn't be 1977 01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:49,600 Speaker 1: this player. No, if you if you draft, if you 1978 01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 1: draft metcalf o. But uh, he had four penalties, Paul, 1979 01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:56,280 Speaker 1: Thank you. I knew, I knew it wasn't two. If 1980 01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:59,000 Speaker 1: you drafted Metcalf over Kenel Harry, then you're an idiot. 1981 01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:04,120 Speaker 1: Quote Michael Lombardi Kenel Harry, that's a complete receiver. That's 1982 01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:07,040 Speaker 1: what That's what I heard. Do you think he gets signed? 1983 01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean, so that was that was Michael Lombardi heading 1984 01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:12,519 Speaker 1: into that draft. So the rest of John's email, I 1985 01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:16,840 Speaker 1: don't know how accurate it is, but he says, um, 1986 01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 1: let's see if you're interested. Brown led the team with 1987 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:24,120 Speaker 1: nine penalties to decline and winds are all wrong, and 1988 01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:27,200 Speaker 1: when followed with eight one decline, these are all wrong. 1989 01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, they're all wrong. Y. So I don't know 1990 01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:35,000 Speaker 1: why funlies for no reason. And he also says we 1991 01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:38,320 Speaker 1: had more penalties in twenty twelve, fourteen, fifteen and eighteen. 1992 01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:42,000 Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know if any of 1993 01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:45,559 Speaker 1: that information. Trent Brown was called for thirteen penalties, wow, 1994 01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 1: which led all offensive lineman. Was time for the lead 1995 01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:50,720 Speaker 1: of all probably could have had twenty all accepted, or 1996 01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:53,519 Speaker 1: some of those wins would have beaten him had he 1997 01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:56,080 Speaker 1: not gotten hurt. How many did to win end up 1998 01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:59,200 Speaker 1: with in half a season? He might be right closer 1999 01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:02,080 Speaker 1: with win just because he didn't play enough to rack 2000 01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:06,080 Speaker 1: him up. I'll look all right, let's see Shane and 2001 01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:11,840 Speaker 1: Ireland writes in first time emailer, having listened to Evan 2002 01:42:11,920 --> 01:42:14,439 Speaker 1: discuss how the Patriots finally went back to the style 2003 01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,400 Speaker 1: at work last season. Did the coaching staff put Mac 2004 01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,519 Speaker 1: in a position to fail in the Bills game. All 2005 01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:23,240 Speaker 1: year long, the calls have been conservative and regularly taking 2006 01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,719 Speaker 1: the game out of Max's hands. Then when the seasons 2007 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,080 Speaker 1: on the line, they tell him to throw. Surely this 2008 01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:31,559 Speaker 1: was always going to end up in some mistakes through 2009 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:34,559 Speaker 1: the lack of practice and game situations, not just Mac, 2010 01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:37,120 Speaker 1: but all the skill positions being unfamiliar with the game 2011 01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:39,920 Speaker 1: plan after a season of playing another way, did you 2012 01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:42,640 Speaker 1: guys see that? So the first three games they did 2013 01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:47,160 Speaker 1: exactly what they did. Their gameplay coming into the season 2014 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 1: was to let Mac cook. They wanted to spread the 2015 01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:52,880 Speaker 1: field and let him bombs away. And I think some 2016 01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:54,960 Speaker 1: people are gonna take this and say, oh, well, Evan, 2017 01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,599 Speaker 1: you're you say everything positive about Mac, but Mac ain't 2018 01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,160 Speaker 1: ready for that. He's not. Five picks later they said, 2019 01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:04,200 Speaker 1: we can't do that right, So they do need to 2020 01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:07,640 Speaker 1: put Mac back into I wouldn't necessarily call a conservative 2021 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:11,720 Speaker 1: just a more manufactured offense where scheme is doing a 2022 01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:13,760 Speaker 1: lot of the heavy lifting. They're getting guys open with 2023 01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:16,920 Speaker 1: play action and motion like the Niners do, and that 2024 01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:19,240 Speaker 1: I think is the offense that he would succeed in. 2025 01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:21,680 Speaker 1: They tried to play the offense this year like they 2026 01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:24,200 Speaker 1: were the Cincinnati Bengals. We're gonna line up across from you. 2027 01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna put the quarterback in the gun. We're gonna 2028 01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:28,519 Speaker 1: run Jamar Chase over here. I'm gonna run Te Higgins 2029 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,720 Speaker 1: over there, and you can't stop us. If you watched 2030 01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:33,280 Speaker 1: the Bengals offense, that's all they do. They just line 2031 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:35,640 Speaker 1: up and they beat you one on one across the 2032 01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:38,000 Speaker 1: board because they got better players than you. The Patriots 2033 01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,479 Speaker 1: don't have better players than anybody. So to do that, 2034 01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:44,439 Speaker 1: you look at presses. You lead to turnovers. Tight window 2035 01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:48,519 Speaker 1: throws lead to turnovers. Bombs into tight coverage lead to turnovers. 2036 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,000 Speaker 1: And that's how you got the offense that you got 2037 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:56,080 Speaker 1: this year. All right, Ian writes in he's in Virginia 2038 01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:59,080 Speaker 1: and the Patriots lost to the Bills. There were two 2039 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,080 Speaker 1: kick off for turns for touchdowns. It reminded me of 2040 01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:05,519 Speaker 1: the Seinfeld episode when the sick little Boy asked Cramer 2041 01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:07,920 Speaker 1: for Paul O'Neill to hit two home runs in a game. 2042 01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:10,839 Speaker 1: Hamlin was the sick little boy and Hines was O'Neill. 2043 01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,719 Speaker 1: There were two. I didn't remember that. That's this year's 2044 01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:19,040 Speaker 1: They didn't toun you know what I'm realizing Evan doesn't 2045 01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:23,479 Speaker 1: do snark as well as I'll teach you. I'll teach you. 2046 01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:28,560 Speaker 1: I forgot about the um. David writes in two you 2047 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:30,280 Speaker 1: know what else? I heard? I don't know if this 2048 01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:33,240 Speaker 1: is accurate, but there were only six returned for touchdowns 2049 01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:36,519 Speaker 1: in the whole league. That's three of them were against 2050 01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:38,559 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I heard that. That's right. I might want 2051 01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:41,120 Speaker 1: to check that after Jake Bailey went on injured reserve. 2052 01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,280 Speaker 1: By the way, it wasn't a problem until then. Are 2053 01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:45,840 Speaker 1: we in the market for two kickers? A punter and 2054 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,640 Speaker 1: a kicker? What that fifth round they're gonna draft one? 2055 01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:51,840 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that if they're gonna be a 2056 01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:53,720 Speaker 1: punter or a kicker. But they do have a lot 2057 01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:59,200 Speaker 1: of picks in this draft too. They got screwed on 2058 01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:01,679 Speaker 1: the JC Jackson and pick because he got hurt. Yeah, 2059 01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:04,400 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be the top third round com pick. 2060 01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:06,439 Speaker 1: And now it's a fourth round pick. That's not official, right, 2061 01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:09,400 Speaker 1: that's like now it's projections space there. What's the guys quartier? 2062 01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:11,599 Speaker 1: He does a good job, that is it? Quote? Yeah, 2063 01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:14,960 Speaker 1: he's he's pretty good. Give him credit. He's like, you 2064 01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,040 Speaker 1: know how Doc chows like ninety nine percent of the time, 2065 01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:21,559 Speaker 1: He's right. That's guy. That guy gets the comp picks perfect. Yeah. Uh, 2066 01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,839 Speaker 1: let's see. David says if Devin mccordy would decide he retires, 2067 01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,519 Speaker 1: or anyone on the current roster prime to take his spot, 2068 01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:34,240 Speaker 1: Jaylen Mills. Someone threw that in SPFW, I think, yeah, 2069 01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:36,360 Speaker 1: I like the j I don't like the Joneses. What 2070 01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:41,120 Speaker 1: about Douga Dougger. I think that's really limiting his ceiling 2071 01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:43,439 Speaker 1: as a player, because now you're just having him play 2072 01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,000 Speaker 1: post safety center field. I think he could do it, 2073 01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:47,680 Speaker 1: but I agree with Evan. I like him near the 2074 01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:49,880 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage too much to take that element away 2075 01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:54,200 Speaker 1: from him. Yeah. The thing about mccordy is you're losing 2076 01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,040 Speaker 1: two things. You're losing the on field in his position, 2077 01:45:57,120 --> 01:46:00,479 Speaker 1: but then the leadership, you know, so you have to 2078 01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:03,839 Speaker 1: make up for a couple of things there. The leadership 2079 01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:07,439 Speaker 1: thing is interesting. I don't know who stands out to 2080 01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:09,559 Speaker 1: me necessarily out of this locker. I think we've talked 2081 01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:14,040 Speaker 1: about this last week about leaders. Adrian Phillips to be 2082 01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:18,439 Speaker 1: that leader. He's a quiet guy, though he's not I 2083 01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:20,479 Speaker 1: think he can be, but he also knows when to 2084 01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:22,360 Speaker 1: turn it on, Like I feel like when we've talked 2085 01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:25,679 Speaker 1: to him, even talked to him even after really tough games, 2086 01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:28,680 Speaker 1: like he has really great composure and like you know, 2087 01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:31,080 Speaker 1: does a great job where it's like some guys you like, no, 2088 01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:34,479 Speaker 1: don't go near them after a game. He's great. I 2089 01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:36,800 Speaker 1: do think though, there's a lot of guys in that mold, 2090 01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:41,519 Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of fiery, serious football like Bentley. 2091 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:43,680 Speaker 1: I think Bentley had put in that category of just 2092 01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:46,439 Speaker 1: you know, those guys who really take it like Judon's. 2093 01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:50,479 Speaker 1: He's personable and talks, but he doesn't seem like that 2094 01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:52,599 Speaker 1: kind of leader, you know, Like I just I think 2095 01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:55,160 Speaker 1: you need those kind of guys like you know, that 2096 01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,599 Speaker 1: are serious and I don't know who other than Bentley 2097 01:46:57,600 --> 01:46:59,320 Speaker 1: though Dugger maybe. But he's quiet too. A lot of 2098 01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:03,800 Speaker 1: quiet guys. M patriots are the quiet, the quiet the 2099 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:07,040 Speaker 1: quiet times, watch out for the quiet ones. Joey writes 2100 01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:10,639 Speaker 1: in from San Antonio, what do you guys think about 2101 01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,840 Speaker 1: trying to acquire te Higgins and Adam Dalen for twenty 2102 01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:17,120 Speaker 1: twenty three? Granted Adam is thirty two years old, but 2103 01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,479 Speaker 1: feel both players can help the offense. I would take 2104 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,240 Speaker 1: t Higgins in a blank, I'm done. I'm done with him. Yeah, 2105 01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:26,479 Speaker 1: he's mean to Bill and I didn't like that. I 2106 01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:30,479 Speaker 1: thought they love each other. I'd either signed Jacoby resigned 2107 01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:33,599 Speaker 1: Jakobe then, and I just feel like that should happen 2108 01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:37,120 Speaker 1: regardless personally. I think this goes back to Evans point, 2109 01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:39,439 Speaker 1: which I was very much on board with last year too, 2110 01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:41,120 Speaker 1: when they signed two years ago, when they signed the 2111 01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:42,680 Speaker 1: free agents and they were all guys coming off their 2112 01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:45,040 Speaker 1: first contract in their twenties, Like I'm fine with those 2113 01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:47,160 Speaker 1: kind of free asians signings. Like I just feel like 2114 01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:49,760 Speaker 1: every year now you have to think weapon day one 2115 01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:52,000 Speaker 1: or two, like you just have to continue, whether it's 2116 01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,360 Speaker 1: a receiver, a tight end, or running back. Like every 2117 01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:57,479 Speaker 1: boy at the end of day when every job. Do 2118 01:47:57,680 --> 01:47:59,240 Speaker 1: not say that. I was just saying that someone I 2119 01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:01,639 Speaker 1: was like a better nut running back. But either way, 2120 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:04,000 Speaker 1: like this is gonna have some good battles forever, and 2121 01:48:04,040 --> 01:48:05,800 Speaker 1: when we do our draft podcast, we're gonna get it 2122 01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:09,760 Speaker 1: running now. I guess though, to specify, when I say 2123 01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:12,519 Speaker 1: running back, I mean more like James White receiving back, 2124 01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, like those third down kind of guys. And 2125 01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sorry to give from Alabama first round. I 2126 01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:18,439 Speaker 1: just think you get to the end of Day two 2127 01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:20,639 Speaker 1: in every draft, you should have one of those guys 2128 01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:22,400 Speaker 1: in the pipeline. And that's you know, look at the 2129 01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:24,120 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I know that they filled out what 2130 01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:26,920 Speaker 1: they had, but I mean they drafted, they drafted debot. 2131 01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:28,760 Speaker 1: You know, like, you just have to keep these guys 2132 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:30,519 Speaker 1: in the pipeline. And it can't be every free agent 2133 01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:32,599 Speaker 1: cycle we're gonna go get a thirty two year old Adam. 2134 01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,560 Speaker 1: That's what makes it hard. Like you say that in 2135 01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:38,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, they went out and they splurged in that 2136 01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,000 Speaker 1: free agent class and it was all guys coming up. Well, 2137 01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:43,880 Speaker 1: the reason most of those guys are available is they're 2138 01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:47,200 Speaker 1: not quite at that level because most guys that are 2139 01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:52,120 Speaker 1: ending their first contract that are super talented get retained. Yeah, 2140 01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,360 Speaker 1: or you gotta give up the more you gotta give 2141 01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:57,360 Speaker 1: up a first round pick, like the receiver. The receiver 2142 01:48:57,560 --> 01:48:59,680 Speaker 1: thing with I mean just look at all of them. 2143 01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:03,600 Speaker 1: Just last year it was a j Brown, it was 2144 01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:08,040 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown. Terry McLaurin ended up resigning it. As Evan 2145 01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:12,599 Speaker 1: likes to say, got the bag from Washington right, Debo 2146 01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:16,160 Speaker 1: got the bag from San Francisco. Teams don't just let 2147 01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:20,360 Speaker 1: that guy walk for nothing, you know. But you know, 2148 01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:22,680 Speaker 1: most teams don't think the comp pick is worth a 2149 01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:25,560 Speaker 1: third round con talent that they lose, you know. So 2150 01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:27,519 Speaker 1: if you want it, like that's what it'll take. I 2151 01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:29,599 Speaker 1: think it'll take a first round pick to get to Higgins. 2152 01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:33,040 Speaker 1: I just look at the Higgins along with really liking 2153 01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:36,200 Speaker 1: the player. Cincinnati does not have deep pockets. And they 2154 01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:38,640 Speaker 1: have to pay Joe Burrow fifty million, They're gonna have 2155 01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:41,560 Speaker 1: to pay Jabar Chase thirty million, and so at some 2156 01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:43,920 Speaker 1: point somebody has to be the odd man out in 2157 01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:46,280 Speaker 1: Cincinnati that they're not going to be able to afford all. 2158 01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:48,599 Speaker 1: It's not about the cap, it's about real money coming 2159 01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:51,000 Speaker 1: into the organization. They have a lot on defense too. 2160 01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:53,240 Speaker 1: I talked to Jeff Hobson the day that we played 2161 01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:57,160 Speaker 1: with Christmas Eve the Bengals, and he was talking about 2162 01:49:57,280 --> 01:50:01,280 Speaker 1: like the Jesse Bates, Logan Wilson, a couple other guys, 2163 01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:04,559 Speaker 1: like they're gonna have decisions, Jay Reader. They can't keep 2164 01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:07,160 Speaker 1: all those guys. And it's not, like Evan said, it's 2165 01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:10,240 Speaker 1: not a cap thing. How is Tyler Boyd. He he's 2166 01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:12,160 Speaker 1: at there in age now, yeah, he's a little longer 2167 01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:14,599 Speaker 1: than the tooth. Jesse Bates is an interesting one too, though. 2168 01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:18,040 Speaker 1: If Devin mcquarny retires and he ends up hitting free agency, 2169 01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:20,720 Speaker 1: that's another guy that he played on the franchise. If 2170 01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken this, yeah, right, that was he was 2171 01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:23,960 Speaker 1: one of the few. I mean, looking at those free 2172 01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:26,160 Speaker 1: agency look at the tackles. I mean you mentioned McGlinchey 2173 01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:27,560 Speaker 1: and Brown. I mean there are some guys that you 2174 01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:29,400 Speaker 1: look at, at least on paper. They're a name and 2175 01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:31,519 Speaker 1: they're gonna cost a lot, but at least you can 2176 01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:34,280 Speaker 1: see he was the other one receiver. I don't know, 2177 01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,320 Speaker 1: there's nobody in receiver. Then I'm like, oh, we got 2178 01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:41,200 Speaker 1: a trade guy, all right, So a three year rebuild 2179 01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,880 Speaker 1: Tyler in New York City. Are there archives somewhere of 2180 01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:49,040 Speaker 1: old PU or PFW and Progress episodes, but I hope not. 2181 01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:51,760 Speaker 1: I'd like to listen to some old episodes during the offseason, 2182 01:50:51,840 --> 01:50:54,800 Speaker 1: mostly to relive old moments here reactions to things we've 2183 01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:58,080 Speaker 1: seen play out later could be really fun. Lucky for you. 2184 01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:02,120 Speaker 1: Back and open, Matt, Do we know, I know, we 2185 01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,559 Speaker 1: you know had him at one time. Well, I think 2186 01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:07,479 Speaker 1: that's a great Oh yeah, that was a great idea. 2187 01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 1: And then we had then we had anything I said. 2188 01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:13,519 Speaker 1: And then I think we had the great flood of 2189 01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:17,280 Speaker 1: twenty and twelve or one of those years, right when 2190 01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:20,560 Speaker 1: the whole system got fried. Yeah oh no, yeah, oh no, 2191 01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:26,400 Speaker 1: all of a sudden down from the ceiling hoey this weekend, 2192 01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:29,040 Speaker 1: I guess pipe broke and we lost a lot of 2193 01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,360 Speaker 1: gear and a bunch of stuff. I didn't have the 2194 01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:33,840 Speaker 1: right producer. Oh that would have been in there with 2195 01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:39,879 Speaker 1: a wow marine trains all. Yeah, that's what's the suction 2196 01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:47,439 Speaker 1: pump things, the penis sump pump you know what I mean. 2197 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. That was too uh 2198 01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, on the tip of your tongue. What's going on? 2199 01:51:57,520 --> 01:51:59,439 Speaker 1: I have been talking about something mysterious pump that he 2200 01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:02,559 Speaker 1: and I was When I was a kid. My house 2201 01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:05,559 Speaker 1: I grew up in the basement would flood a lot. Yeah, 2202 01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:09,360 Speaker 1: it had some pumps. Yeah yeah, my dad had it 2203 01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:13,639 Speaker 1: all rigged and everything. I got the irrigation system where 2204 01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:16,240 Speaker 1: sump do you know?

Did you guys get for snow? Nothing? Really, 2207 01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean it's snowed, but nothing stuck. I got a 2208 01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:29,840 Speaker 1: couple of inches yeah, up in Peabody. Yeah, the Hills 2209 01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:37,280 Speaker 1: of Peabody save that one mapped all right? Me with that, 2210 01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:41,760 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think we're gonna call it at that. 2211 01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:45,080 Speaker 1: I gotta get you. No, you have no like thoughts 2212 01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:47,120 Speaker 1: at all, and I'm stunned. You usually have like a 2213 01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:50,759 Speaker 1: lot of different random things that stuck out for playoff games. 2214 01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:53,439 Speaker 1: We talked about it. All you said was I was 2215 01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:56,640 Speaker 1: happy for Trevor Lawrence, when I was like, your grand observation, 2216 01:52:56,640 --> 01:52:58,720 Speaker 1: because you guy game back, what do you think of 2217 01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:01,559 Speaker 1: the giants predictable upset of the Vikings, which just seemed 2218 01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:05,040 Speaker 1: like every right about the Vikings, everybody was like, Nope, nope, 2219 01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:07,960 Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna. I mean I found myself nodding 2220 01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:10,240 Speaker 1: off a lot and the chair on that one. That game. 2221 01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:13,000 Speaker 1: It was the best game a game I know. But 2222 01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:16,320 Speaker 1: I woke up and a lot of had happened. I'm like, oh, 2223 01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:19,439 Speaker 1: the ridiculous passing rough in the pass that they called 2224 01:53:19,479 --> 01:53:21,160 Speaker 1: on Dexter Lawrence at the end of that game. That 2225 01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:25,040 Speaker 1: fourth down, though, that was terrible Kirk kirk Cousins. If 2226 01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:28,040 Speaker 1: that wasn't Cousins in a nutshell? Okay, take the check. 2227 01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm glad that we did this. He checked it down, 2228 01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:34,679 Speaker 1: okay in the game. So whose fault was that? Kirk Cousins. Okay, 2229 01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:37,200 Speaker 1: they called a vertical concept and he checked it down. 2230 01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:40,920 Speaker 1: So why when when the Patriots check it down on 2231 01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:44,880 Speaker 1: third and fourteen is it Matt Patricia's fault? Well, it 2232 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:48,880 Speaker 1: depends on the play design. It's always is always something 2233 01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:51,559 Speaker 1: they're running post wheel to the field and he checked 2234 01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:53,760 Speaker 1: it down. I mean, what do you want? I think 2235 01:53:53,800 --> 01:53:56,640 Speaker 1: it was all Kirk cousins fault. Unlike most people, I 2236 01:53:56,720 --> 01:53:59,519 Speaker 1: don't think Kirk Cousins is anything special. And I think 2237 01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:01,680 Speaker 1: mac joe on some day might aspire it to be 2238 01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:08,520 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. All the like quarterback you know X quarterbacks 2239 01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:10,560 Speaker 1: and like Kurt warners of the world are like, what 2240 01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:12,839 Speaker 1: would you like the quarterback to do? Okay, the safety 2241 01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:15,840 Speaker 1: goes over to Justin Jefferson side of the field and 2242 01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:18,680 Speaker 1: he's got two vertical routes with no safety over the 2243 01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:22,400 Speaker 1: top on the left. It down. I don't even care 2244 01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:25,680 Speaker 1: if there's nobody open. You can't throw it that far 2245 01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:27,920 Speaker 1: short of the sticks on fourth down with your season 2246 01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:30,640 Speaker 1: on the line. No, what are you expecting Hobbinson to 2247 01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:33,640 Speaker 1: break the tackle and go oh, which one right? Like 2248 01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:37,400 Speaker 1: he's he's like five full yards short of the sticks. 2249 01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:40,600 Speaker 1: Classic Kirk Cousins like, you can't do that, you can't. 2250 01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:43,800 Speaker 1: I just it was amazing that as soon as the 2251 01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:47,400 Speaker 1: play happened, my wife goes, what does Matt Patricia call 2252 01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:52,000 Speaker 1: in the place? And I'm thinking to myself, it's amazing. 2253 01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:54,600 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is getting killed on Twitter for checking it down, 2254 01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:56,840 Speaker 1: which I was like, I didn't do it on Twitter, 2255 01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:59,520 Speaker 1: but I was saying the same thing. But like when 2256 01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:02,440 Speaker 1: Jacob Myers catches a five yard crosser run third and ten, 2257 01:55:02,840 --> 01:55:05,240 Speaker 1: no one, no one blames mac Jones because sometimes as 2258 01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:08,120 Speaker 1: the play design, they like to run that little downfield 2259 01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:10,200 Speaker 1: screen thing on third and eleven and they think it's 2260 01:55:10,240 --> 01:55:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna work. And it didn't work the times my fans 2261 01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:16,520 Speaker 1: coming in. I told him not to bother and be 2262 01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:19,760 Speaker 1: doing the show. It just really down. I thought that 2263 01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:22,920 Speaker 1: had a lock up. I thought it did too. I 2264 01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:26,040 Speaker 1: don't know, all right, now we'll call it a show now. 2265 01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:28,960 Speaker 1: Fred Fred didn't watch the games evidently, so that's why 2266 01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:30,960 Speaker 1: we can't talk about nap and that game was not 2267 01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:33,360 Speaker 1: boring at that was a great game. I think I 2268 01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:35,839 Speaker 1: think I ate something and I just kind of fell asleep. 2269 01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:39,040 Speaker 1: Like Daniel Jones played really yeah, and san One Barkley. 2270 01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:40,440 Speaker 1: That was probably one of the best games I've seen 2271 01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:42,960 Speaker 1: since his injury, Like he was really really yeah, he 2272 01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:45,360 Speaker 1: had he had a good I didn't remember some of it. Yeah, 2273 01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:48,640 Speaker 1: but what were your dreamers like doing the snore away? 2274 01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:51,080 Speaker 1: I remember something that I was kind of hard. Nobody 2275 01:55:51,200 --> 01:55:56,200 Speaker 1: was myself. Actually, the best part about the playoffs the 2276 01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:59,480 Speaker 1: social media afterwards, and I also sent myself did you 2277 01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:03,080 Speaker 1: see did you see on social media? The Giants posted 2278 01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:06,839 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones with a Danny Dimes huge chain on, basically 2279 01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:10,760 Speaker 1: mimicking Kirk Cousins and his jewelry. It was amazing. I 2280 01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:13,040 Speaker 1: like that. Okay, Danny Dimes, let's settle down. I think, Okay, 2281 01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:15,280 Speaker 1: he's not good, but I like what the social media 2282 01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:18,200 Speaker 1: team did. That's fair. But it's like, you know what, 2283 01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:20,480 Speaker 1: they call him Danny Dimes. Like since his rookie year. 2284 01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:23,760 Speaker 1: I don't know why, because he had he hasn't dropped 2285 01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:27,480 Speaker 1: a diamond like three years until Sunday. Yeah, Brian Dables 2286 01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:29,880 Speaker 1: like holding him with kid gloves, and everybody already see 2287 01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:33,040 Speaker 1: that game that Daniel Jones played. You just unless they 2288 01:56:33,080 --> 01:56:36,080 Speaker 1: have the pedigree. There's like three guys that he thinks 2289 01:56:36,080 --> 01:56:40,000 Speaker 1: are any good. Everybody else it's all about the coach, correct, 2290 01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:45,040 Speaker 1: Dak Lamar, don't, Josh Allen, Okay, Wait Evans, Patrick Mahome Evan. 2291 01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:47,600 Speaker 1: Do you think that Dak Prescott had a great game 2292 01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:49,560 Speaker 1: last night or do you think the Bucks defense was 2293 01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:52,120 Speaker 1: just really bad? No, I thought Dak played well last night. 2294 01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:54,839 Speaker 1: I think Danny dimes. So they have you know, expected 2295 01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:58,480 Speaker 1: completion rate right, his expected completion rate against the Vikings 2296 01:56:58,600 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 1: was seventy four percent. What did he complete? Seventy good 2297 01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:07,400 Speaker 1: job right and met and so the Vikings? What did 2298 01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:10,840 Speaker 1: he have for expected yards gained rushing? Because he had 2299 01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:15,320 Speaker 1: seventy eight the Vikings deep. This year, the highest PF 2300 01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:19,240 Speaker 1: grade for five different quarterbacks has come against the Vikings defense, 2301 01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:23,000 Speaker 1: including mac Joe. Well, the whole game I was I 2302 01:57:23,160 --> 01:57:25,240 Speaker 1: had like the two two sides in my head. As 2303 01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, I can argue even with myself. I'm watching again, 2304 01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, Danny Jones looks really good. I didn't 2305 01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:32,120 Speaker 1: think he was this good, Danny. He's playing the Vikings. 2306 01:57:32,160 --> 01:57:33,960 Speaker 1: I saw mac Jones do this against the Vikings, and 2307 01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he's all right. Now, well now it's 2308 01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:43,480 Speaker 1: at least close. All right, Um, what's what's the deal. 2309 01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:47,160 Speaker 1: We'll be back to Thursday at noon and then Cash 2310 01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:51,040 Speaker 1: twenty two on Thursday at two after us.
