Oh? 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: Is he going to be like another Tony Bennett and 63 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: to do these duets? I thought that was pretty good. 64 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: I can't lie. I mean, I don't know how you 65 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: cannot like Elton John and some some capacity. I mean, 66 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: he's when I was when I was younger. That's one 67 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: of my first albums was Yellow Brick Road. Say that's 68 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: that's one of my all time Okay, favorite songs. You're 69 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: making a comeback Spears Records a duet of Tiny Dancer 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: with Elton John. That's not really a Britney Spears type song. 71 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm imagining, like you don't, I don't know, She's not 72 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: really She's more a dancer, right and she's not a 73 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: mediocre singer. But it was like more the package of 74 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: the presentation. I feel. You know, who is a big 75 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Britney Spears fan in the day, Paul Paul, He he 76 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: liked some Britney Spears. She's well, well, when when he 77 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: started he in like ninety nine, that was like Britney craze. 78 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: That was right when she kind of hit it when 79 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: she came on the scene with her school girl outfit 80 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: and then pigtails sing it one more time. Yeah. Yeah, 81 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: I remember in college. That was my last year of 82 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: college too, and like there were like four we had 83 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: like Talent Show, Senior Talent Show when they were like 84 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: four different groups of girls that all did Britney Spears 85 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: school girl outfit, pigtail like dance lip sync routine. So 86 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: that was the time to do it. Yeah, she was 87 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: all right, but we're not here to talk about Britney Spears. Well, 88 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: it's the day before Practic Training camp starts. Bill Belichick 89 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: had his opening press conference this morning at eight o'clock 90 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: and I was talking with Deuce before the show, and 91 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, it was the normal you know, how you doing, Bill, 92 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: and you know, questions that weren't going to get a response. 93 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: But the one that did that I thought was worth 94 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: listening to was the one on Mac Jones. Yeah. Yeah, 95 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's making the rounds right now 96 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: on the internet, but I mean it was it was 97 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, I don't like to go overboard, like he 98 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: never does. It's like I think he does praise guys, 99 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: but it was I don't want to know if you 100 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: would say effusive, but it was significant praise. I think 101 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: of all the work that Mac has put in, and 102 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think that the phrase to stuck out 103 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: to me was that, you know, he's just so much 104 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: further along in the football conversation, which was another thing 105 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: he kind of taught. Like remember Ernie Adams in pasts 106 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: for the past talking about him and Bill having a 107 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: football conversation. So yeah, I mean, it's it's everything is 108 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: pointing to Mac doing everything that he has to do 109 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: this offseason, and you know, will it translate on the field, 110 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: and how big of a jump can he make? He'll 111 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: have to go out and do that. I don't want 112 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: to like say, oh, well he's automatically going to make 113 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: a huge leap, but I think he's done everything you 114 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: can ask for him. And you know, as a team 115 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: a year ago that you know wasn't sure who their 116 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: quarterback was or you know, had that season with Cam 117 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: Newton and you know, not having that continuity to have 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: it back now. I just think that's a great place 119 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: to start with an NFL team. I think it's critical 120 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: and if you don't have that quarterback and somebody that 121 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: you believe in, you're not going anywhere. Yeah, I mean 122 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: it was they he knows more about the offense now, 123 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: but now Bill and the coaches know more about him. Yep. 124 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: So like you said, we're further down in that football conversation. 125 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: So good stuff. And you know the fact that Bill 126 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: shows to talk about that, I think that, you know, 127 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: that's good. And there was another player you know, usually 128 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, how is uh, you know, Marcus Jones doing well, 129 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, okay, but when Trey Nixon's name came up, 130 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: he talked at length about Trey Nixon a little bit. 131 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: So that always tells me that, um, it's a guy 132 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: who is going above what's expected of him, and they're 133 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: hopeful and they want to encourage him to keep along 134 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: that track. And usually if there's a young guy that 135 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: Bill does you know, talk at length about That's why 136 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: you know that there he showed some promise and Bill 137 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: wants to encourage him. And especially with the relationship he's 138 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: clearly built with Mac, they're good friends. Chemistry there. Definitely 139 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: voting well for him. Yeah, And I mean I think 140 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: to the you know, the passes he caught him Minni camping, 141 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: and I think it's it can be easy to get 142 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: carried away with a handful of plays in mini camp, 143 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: and so that's why I think I'm, you know, just 144 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: a little bit like, is this for real? Is train 145 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: Nixon real? For real? Is he going to even get 146 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: opportunities with the top line guys out of the gate. 147 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: If your answer is I don't know, that's the correct answer, right, 148 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. He certainly looked good, 149 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: and I mean I think, you know, to Alex's point, 150 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: I think there were at least two passes that were 151 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: the same completion from Mac that you know, it seemed 152 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: like he was comfortable and targeting him down the field, 153 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: and we've all talked about that's something that the offense 154 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: really needs. So if that continues to show up in 155 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: training camp and he makes a push and oh hey 156 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: it's Parker Aglaura Nixon, then we might be talking about something. 157 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: If he's over on the other field with all the 158 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: you know guys running with Bailey Zappy, then you know, 159 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: it was just kind of one of those things where, yeah, 160 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean, and in that position, it is a numbers 161 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: game right now, you know, so there's just so many weapons. 162 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: But I'm sure he's going to get some opportunities you know, yeah, 163 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: he's got to make the most of it. And and 164 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: I think that to go back a point from a 165 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: couple of shows ago, if just these guys stay healthy, 166 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: stay on the field, it's worth so much just to 167 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: have that continuity, even if you're not the greatest player 168 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: in the world, just being out there every day and 169 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: catching the balls that are thrown at you and when 170 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: you get a chance, you make the most of it. 171 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: I think that's what you know. Guys here they're able 172 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: to stack some success and then you know, and then 173 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: you're realistically saying, well, che's TRAINIX and might push one 174 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: of these other receivers that have been here off the 175 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: roster potentially. I don't I'm not ready to realistically make 176 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: that case, but I think it's in the realm of possibility. 177 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: But you know, how does it, like, well Jordan Humphrey 178 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: fit into Yeah, Like, okay, so let's let's do you know, 179 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: you're you've done your you know questions going into camp 180 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: and stuff. But I'll do one for everyone. What's your 181 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: who's your sleeper? Who's your sleeper? Right now? For camp? 182 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: I would even buy sleeper um, someone that maybe people 183 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: aren't really considering, you know, in the mix. Uh, and 184 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: they're sleeping on and could emerge. I mean, this is 185 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: a stupid one, probably, but I would just say I'd 186 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: say hand Henry Henderson because I don't think there are 187 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people that I knew you were going 188 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: to say that. You know me, I'm a defense guy, 189 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: but I don't I mean, has anyone sleeping on Jonathan Smith? 190 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: Everybody knows what his year was like and what he 191 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: needs say, is anyone hunter Henry Kendrick Bourne, Like maybe 192 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: you could say people are sleeping on Agalore a little 193 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: bit and looking what he did last year and kind 194 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: of just writing him off as all right, he's not. 195 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't totally do it, but I think 196 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: Henry Anderson is just a guy at a position that 197 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: they need, that's played in the league, that has shown 198 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: he can get some pressure on a quarterback, has some 199 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: good size. So when you talk about a defense that 200 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot added promising in the front seven, 201 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: he's one guy that's returning that could potentially. Now I 202 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: say this with the full admission that last year we 203 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: were kind of is he on the bubble? We didn't 204 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: even know if he was going to make the team. 205 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was in training camp lighting things up. So, Alex, 206 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: you've got a sleeper. Um. I don't know if it's 207 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: necessarily like a specific player as a speaker as a sleeper, 208 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: but I would really like to see someone from like 209 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: a cornerback just step up. I think we have a 210 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: history of per You're seeing really good talent there and 211 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: developing it, and then like J. C. Jackson really seemed 212 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: to come out of nowhere and was all of a 213 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: sudden the stud corner as a really young kid, and 214 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: I would like to see that again. I think maybe 215 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell might be your guy. Like I mean again, 216 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of like like Anderson, a pro. He's been around, 217 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: but got his hands on a lot of balls the 218 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: last couple of years, you know. I just I don't 219 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: know about Malcolm Butler. I don't know if he's ready 220 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: to jump back in and be the same guy. I 221 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: think that's a that's a big question too, of I 222 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: think Malcolm Butler could be anywhere from starting left cornerback 223 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: to not making the team. Yeah right now, if you 224 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: haven't already guessed, one of my sleepers is Trey Nixon. 225 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: The other is Time Montgomery. You know, I don't think 226 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: people are gonna have a lot of high expectations for him, 227 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: but I think he's at least as good as Brandon Bolden. 228 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: You know, maybe not in special teams, but you know, 229 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: like the tackling part of specialties, like getting on the 230 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: field and tackling guys. But he's better with the ball 231 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: in this man. Yeah, So in the backfield, I think, 232 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's as good, if not better than Brandon Bolden. 233 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I'm not I don't think 234 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: James White's gonna be playing at least early on. Yeah, 235 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: And I think Ty Montgomery's gonna get an opportunity. And 236 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: I think he's got some skills he doesn't mean And 237 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: I just don't think you could ever write off a 238 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: guy who's played receiver and running back in the league 239 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: when he gets here, because he can do so much. 240 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: If they have injuries at running back or they have 241 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: injuries at wide receiver in camp, he's going to be 242 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: able to, you know, slip into one of those roles. Yeah. 243 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: I think he could be a good one now if 244 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm remembering correctly, I think we saw him mostly with 245 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: the receivers in Mini camps, So you know, we'll just 246 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: kind of see how how it plays out. But I 247 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: think you're right on the James White, that's he's on PUP. 248 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind having James White kind of week six 249 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: come back. You have him just off the leadership. Guys 250 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: talk about him in the locker room or you know 251 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: what a leader he is, and you love to have 252 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: that here. But why rush it? You know? But again, 253 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: they always seem to paint themselves into a corner with 254 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: this stuff where you're like, why did you activate the 255 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: guy two days before final cuts when you could have 256 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: just kept them on PUP and saved them, you know, 257 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: and stead and now you've got a tough decision of 258 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: how to manage these guys. So um, But I think 259 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: that all speaks to the point of there's so many receivers, 260 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: there's so many tight ends, there's so many running back. 261 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Just how does that group all play out? Because I 262 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: don't think right now there's a place for every single 263 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: one of you know, the quote unquote NFL players that 264 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: that they had. I think there's gonna be some cuts, 265 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: some changes maybe to know that guys, there always is 266 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: for sure, Why should this year be any different. Yeah, no, 267 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: it so makes it surprising and interesting. And uh, but 268 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: another and I mean some other news though too. McMillan 269 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: came off the pup list yesterday, which I thought was 270 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: a was a positive. Um, he was out there a 271 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: lot in in minicamp. Seem right next to McMillan, right 272 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: next sorry Bentley. Uh, it seemed like that's kind of 273 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: the top inside option. And you know, how does he 274 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: fit on on on lightdowns? Do they leave him out there? Um? 275 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: You know, does mac wilson kind of playing to that 276 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: and like a kind of a Roman fighter passing down 277 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: role or as I was, you know, talking a little 278 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: bit upstairs with our with our guests, that's coming up, 279 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, are we are we looking at four defensive 280 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: linemen and seven safety slash cornerbacks and no true traditional 281 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: you know linebacker. If if somebody like you know Wilson 282 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: or McMillan or you know, to a lesser step mcgron 283 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't elevate a lot of new faces on defense. 284 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: You know, McMillan was a guy they got last year 285 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: but went in IR so we never got to see him. 286 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: Mac Wilson they picked up this year. Um, and then 287 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: I consider all the young guys that we haven't seen 288 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: yet as new faces. You know, um, you know mcron 289 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: and even Ronnie Perkins Jennings for them mean Anthony Jennings. Yeah, 290 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: so these are all new faces and there's a lot 291 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: of question marks on defense. That's where that's where the 292 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: question marks are on this team. And you think back 293 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: to last you know, last year when the big thing 294 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: was watching Kyle van Noy and Dante Highttower screw with 295 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: Mac Jones and Camp and you know, messing with him 296 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: dropping and coming and you know, just just giving him 297 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: that experience and you know, now they don't have those 298 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: those experience kind of guys. It's really been in Jude 299 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: on And you're gonna have to wait and see from 300 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: the competition who the other guys are that that emerge 301 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: as run stoppers, as pass rushers all that. But I 302 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: mean it just you named them. I mean, throw Aucha 303 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: into that mix. One of those guys, at least one 304 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: of them has to step up and make plays this 305 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: year if this defense is going to take a step forward. 306 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: Another thing I got out of Bill this morning was 307 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: an indication that pads won't go on until next week. Now, 308 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: I thought they might be Saturday. You know, they would 309 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: have Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and then Saturday put pads on. 310 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: But he said next week for pads. Yeah, that's I 311 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: was a little disappoint I mean, you're always excited for 312 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: the first pad of practice. Yeah, they used to always 313 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: be that first Saturday, right, Like they would be Thursday, Friday, 314 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: and then the third day they'd be in pads. We'll 315 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: have to see. I mean, you talk this morning about 316 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: continuation of mini camp and kind of teaching a little 317 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: bit and getting everybody refresher course to get into things. 318 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: Next week when the pads come on and things start 319 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: to get competitive and then the giants they play the giants, 320 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: you won't join practice, and then two sets of joint 321 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: practices too, So that's you know, it'll slowly ramp up. 322 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: This summer is gonna fly. It's gonna fly. It always does. 323 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: Already done. Yeah right, well, I don't mean what I 324 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: meant to say, actually is this training camp is gonna fly. 325 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: It's gonna go buy fast once it starts rolling. Yeah, 326 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, especially with the joint practices, will be a 327 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: lot of fun. It seems like that's coming together for Vegas. 328 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: So be able to be out there. Maybe some live 329 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: shows would be you know, pretty cool see what those 330 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: facilities are like. But yeah, I mean there was just 331 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: so much information last year that come out, I mean, 332 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: and and having to watch Mac verse cam and that 333 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: main storyline, and you know certainly want to watch Mac 334 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: and see that the strides that he and the offense 335 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: have taken by. I think the defense is just as 336 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: interesting of who the personnel is, how they how they 337 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: do things. And then you know, going up against Baker 338 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Mayfield and Sam Donald in camp in a couple of 339 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: weeks and you know, maybe seeing what Christian McCaffrey looks 340 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: like and in some of those space drills that they 341 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: do that might be might be pretty fun. And then 342 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: of course Vegas, which yeah, I mean just the number 343 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: of crazy good wide receivers they have to play this year, 344 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: like I mean, just appripool enough. It's thinking about upstairs, 345 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: Like every single week there's like one of these Tyreek 346 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: Hill Davante Adams. I mean, it is just relentless with 347 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: this schedule and the number of like really really Jamar Chase, 348 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: really great top of the line weapons right now, that 349 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: goes back to alex As sleeper Hopefully there better be 350 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: a cornerback who emerges because they're gonna need as much 351 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: help as they can back there. Yeah, they cannot get 352 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: cut up again like we saw at last year. I mean, 353 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: is it it feels like it's very possible that next 354 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: year going into like the draft, you know we need yeah, 355 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: that number one corner. And I mean, you know, to 356 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: go back two years ago when Paul and I love 357 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: Jacy Horne, you know like that, how great would it 358 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: be to have second year that kind of I mean, 359 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: I know we got Mac, but you know, still it 360 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: was a need then that that you were probably hoping 361 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: come to fruition here in the twenty twenty two season 362 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: and a lot of uncertainty right now. In some NFL news, 363 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting one of the Patriots opponents 364 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: this year will be Kyler Murray and this whole thing 365 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: about in his contract he has to do at least 366 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: four hours of independent study per week or something like that. Yeah, 367 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: oh I miss this. Yeah yeah, So I guess he said, like, 368 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't need to watch film. I just go out, 369 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: I know everything. I don't need to watch film. And 370 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: so part of his new contract is you're gonna watch film. 371 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: It's such a bad sign. It's like when you're a 372 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: D one athlete and you're forced to do study hall 373 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's like you're great, you you're below a three. 374 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: Oh you gotta you got Yeah, you have to have 375 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: your teachers sign your hearing thing. I mean, yeah, you 376 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: can't take fakes for Healy class. I just it's such 377 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: a hard thing. And we've talked about it so many 378 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: times of you use a high round draft pick, not 379 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: not even you know, to mention the number one overall 380 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: pick to get a guy you like him, but he's 381 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: got some holes in his game. He's got some holes 382 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: in his you know, overall package that he presents. But 383 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: what what is the deal breaker? You know, like what 384 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: can push you over the edge because it's like stuff 385 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: like that that, yeah, you gotta demand that he studies, 386 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: like I know that's that's supposed to be like part 387 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: of a quarter backs DNA, right and and uh, you 388 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: know they're talking about Good Morning Football this morning, like 389 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: how do you how do you check that? And and 390 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: how do you say we don't you know? Then Kyle 391 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: Brandt was saying, you know, like oh, well we finished 392 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: six and eleven. Uh you didn't study enough, like, like 393 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: you and we're not going to pay you, Like, how 394 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: does that happen with lawyers and contracts? And I mean, 395 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: what what a mess? I mean not to mention that 396 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: everyone's making fun of them all day to day and 397 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: this is going to be all season long, as they 398 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: were pointing out of like press conference before hours of 399 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: study day, right, you know, like like you can't tell 400 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: me they're not going to be saying that it's crazy 401 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: season long. So Danny Amndola retired officially at thirty six. Yeah. 402 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: ELX wrote up with yeah, coach had some nice things 403 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: to say. Yeah. Uh. At first it was like a 404 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: pretty simple answer, but then someone followed up and he 405 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 1: gave a nice longer one about Danny comparing him to 406 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: uh the Troy Browns, Julian Edelman's of the world and 407 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: study ranked among the best of those like prototypical slot receivers. Yeah, 408 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, Um, he he has said in 409 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: the past that had he not been as injured as 410 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: he was, he'd be right up there with the best 411 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: of him. Yeah he didn't. You can't argue, I mean 412 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: the guy was still clutch. Yeah, you know, well I thought, yeah, 413 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: I mean I thought back to, uh, you know, the 414 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: first game with the team, and so Welker had left 415 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: and you know, they had resigned Edelman, but I don't 416 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: think anyone at that point was really expecting Edelman to 417 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: be the guy, and Amondola was signed to be, you know, 418 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: that vital slot weapon for for Tom Brady, and I 419 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: remember fans being beside themselves with with his injury history. 420 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: And then he you know, kind of classic Danny. Danny 421 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: Amndola comes out in Week one against the Bills and 422 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: like a back and forth game, like injures himself while 423 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: catching ten balls one hundred and four yards, like they 424 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: pull out the win. He has like these acrobatic like 425 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: in the air catches, both growing right, and then he 426 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: was out the next three weeks. So yeah, it's kind 427 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: of classic. Another another tidbit I got was that he 428 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: was inactive the last four games of twenty sixteen, and 429 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: then you know, came in and was a huge part 430 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl fifty one. Uh you know, so to 431 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: come in kind of a little bit not not so fresh, 432 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: having you know, not played in a few weeks, he 433 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: clearly helped deliver in the Super Bowl. And and then 434 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: I think twenty seventeen was you know, probably his pinnacle season, 435 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: just because Edelman was out and he finally had to 436 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: step into that that slot role kind of full time. 437 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: And of course I think I think the social team 438 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: put out the the catch he had in the AC 439 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: Championship game, which was wow, you know how we got 440 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: both feet down crazy, and and then another huge game 441 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: against the Eagles, even even in defeat. So yeah, he 442 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: was he was a classic. I wish there was another 443 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: guy like him, you know, out there on the roster. 444 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm surprised there isn't another one of those kind of 445 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: prototypical slots, you know, no offense that Trey Nixon or 446 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers, who were kind of there now, but just 447 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: those were always kind of the guys that that made 448 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: the engine of the offense run. Yeah, like Braxon Barrios 449 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: came in and everyone was like, oh, that's gonna be 450 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: I know, I'm not disappointed about that, even though like 451 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: we were never that impressed with him here and he's 452 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: just but he's kind of you know, it's like I 453 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: saw what he did last year and I'm like, it's 454 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: kind of stinks that you essentially picked Gunner over him. 455 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: That was when when training camp came, you know, Gunner 456 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: playing a little d back and being you know, just 457 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: returning Ponzi. He had a couple good years. But you know, 458 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: I think I not not to pump up bracts the 459 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: Burrials too much. But that's still what I'd still take him, 460 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: all right. Eight five five Pats five hundred is the 461 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: ace ticket hut line. Eight five five Pats five hundred. 462 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: Web radio at Patriots dot com is the email address. 463 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: Let's get to the phones and email see what people 464 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: are thinking. We'll start with Patty and Agawam, what's up Patty? Everyone?

Um, but I think he'll be conducive to him. 469 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: Not you know, I'm saying that he'd arrived, but we 470 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: could say that, yeah, he took that that year to jump, 471 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: you know when he ran with it. Um. The first 472 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: thing very simple. We gotta we gotta see a cutdown 473 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: on mental mistakes with him. No more delayed game penalties. 474 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: I mean I think we saw more delayed game penalty 475 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: Glad here that we saw in all twenty years of 476 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. And I know it's Tom Brady, but I 477 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: mean that that's gotta gets cleaned up. The number two 478 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: things I want to see, obviously, what they've been working 479 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: on a lot in OTAs and in the mini camps 480 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: was push the ball down field. You know, make make 481 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: some mistakes if you have to throwing it deep, but 482 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: get the ball past ten yards on the line of primise, 483 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: you know. And the third thing, I think the biggest thing, 484 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: I want to see him engineer a handful maybe like 485 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: between three inside game winning game winning drives this year. 486 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: And yet wouldn't that be nice? And what you guys think, Yeah, 487 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the getting the ball down field 488 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: is important, and I think they will. We saw some 489 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: of that already in mini camp, but it just to 490 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: give the defense something else to think about. Yeah, you know, yeah, 491 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: I think it's the you know, the contested catchability of 492 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: Parker and the speed of Agalore on the outside. But 493 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I I think all those things are totally 494 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: totally correct, and you know, I would assume the operation 495 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: is better with with just having more command. But I 496 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: just want to see pace. I want to see the 497 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: offense hit their stride and and you know, we saw 498 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 1: it a lot with with Brady offense, when you just 499 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: get rolling and the other team is scrambling to try 500 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: to figure out what you're doing. Like, I'd like to 501 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: see that a few times. I think there were, you know, 502 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: a couple of little glimmers of it, you know, namely 503 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: against Cleveland last year. But seeing him fully grass the 504 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: offense and being able to put a defense on its 505 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: heels and not have answers for a long Yeah, what 506 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: that would be it for me. I've said it many times. 507 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: I never want to hear another team say the Patriots 508 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: are easy to defend again. Yeah, you know, that's the 509 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: It's in all my years here, it's the first time 510 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: I've ever heard opponents say that. Yeah, you know, and yeah, 511 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't make it easy for the other team. 512 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: And I just I mean, you know, I think it's 513 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: it's a little too simple just to connect it to 514 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: not having the guys. I mean, I just think it's 515 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: a full offensive thing, you know, and that's that kind 516 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: of to the pace and you know, we're not afraid 517 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: to throw it downfield to take a speed shot to 518 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: Agalore or you know, if if if Parker's lined up 519 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: with with a height advantage over, we're not afraid to 520 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: try to push that. But you know, but still, I 521 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: think it's the inside. It's the Bourns and the and 522 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: the Myers and the you know, consistency and bam bam bam, 523 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Stevenson's about to run, you know, 524 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: on their dime package and he's just running over defensive back. 525 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: You know, those kind of things where it's not easy 526 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: to defend because they've got all kinds of different answers 527 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: to what you're gonna try to do. You know, you 528 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: come out in the same look, but you run a 529 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: different play. That's the key. Yeah, you know, um, Dominics 530 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 1: in New York. What's up Dominic? Hey? How is everyone doing? Okay? 531 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: Look at awesome? Just going back through conversation Alex had previously. 532 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm a track guy. I ran track for Spelling and Brockton. 533 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: I remember my fair share people is spilling out during 534 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: the hurdles. Usually were very supportive, even though it's very 535 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: during the hurdles. Yeah, yeah, you see the spills out, 536 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: the spell out during the you know, the like whatever 537 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: whatever hurdle being is that what they call it spilling 538 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: out like the lack of a Oh yeah, Fred wasn't 539 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: here for my most embarrassing sports moment, but I heard 540 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: the tape. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. But um. But 541 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: going back to my point, one of the things that 542 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm curious about is between the wide receiver battle. I 543 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: have my standout, of course, I think Trey Nixon's going 544 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: to be standout. I'm curious to see how the receivers 545 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: operate at the you know, the short, intermediate and deep level, right, 546 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: so you don't have a you don't want to have 547 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: another Nikkiel Harry Flasso where there was no separation. You're 548 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: catching tough, contested balls all the time. So I'm curious 549 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: that's something now you'll be looking forward in Camp. Um 550 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: hopefully too steps up. I also think there will be 551 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: a surprise Camp standout in Christian Wilkerson. Yeah. I'm not 552 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: saying he's gonna be a contributor, but I think he's 553 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna play very well. He's another guy we haven't mentioned 554 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: that had production last year. Yeah yeah, yeah, he did 555 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: get separation. When he did, he had a tough time. 556 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: He can you know, his hands on the ball. But 557 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: but yeah, he did get it. Yeah, yeah, I mean 558 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: I just yeah, god. Yeah. So my question is is 559 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: that will you be looking for in camp as well? 560 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: And also who are your surprised cut because I have 561 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: James White as being a surprise, but Nelson Aguil or 562 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: kinda and believe it or not, Gayleen Mills, because I 563 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: really expect Marcus Jones to step up conna Ellis Hobbs, 564 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: you know how he's a good special teamers, okay, coverage guy. 565 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: Maybe could contribute at that end, but I think he'll 566 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: actually pop a little bit more than people. But yeah, well, 567 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: I guess we've got to look at Marcus Jones. But 568 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: I mean Jack Jones was in the mix. I mean, 569 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy to say that about Mills. 570 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: But I also think he's the most experienced and the 571 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: only guy, and I think that he's a little bit, 572 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, just under rated last year as to what 573 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: he did. But but I don't think it's um it's 574 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: too crazy. I think the contestic catch thing, it's it's 575 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: it's a part of the game. But I just hate 576 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: how it kind of gets such a spotlight on it 577 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: because I kind of agree with what I think he's 578 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: saying in that it's not really an effective way to 579 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: build an offense to rely on guys who are really 580 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: good at contestic catches, Like you know, I'd rather have 581 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: guys that are really good at getting away from people. Um. 582 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: But that said, I mean, I think Parker is as 583 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: good as anybody at the league at doing it. So 584 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, that said, I think you know we did. 585 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: We did see I think one catch in minicamp that was, 586 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: you know, kind of a contestic catch to Parker on 587 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: the sideline. So I think that's part of it. I 588 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: think it with aglor speed, as I said, those guys 589 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: on the outside, I think that's kind of a combination 590 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: that that they're going to play with to try to 591 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 1: stretch the field a little bit. But again, the contestic 592 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: catch stuff, it is, what is that it? I just 593 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: don't think it's as as Paul would and I would 594 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: say sustainable. I do. But you know, you can't always 595 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: get separation, especially in the NFL, so you know you 596 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: have to, you know, have guys that can do that. 597 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's not like Alabama where you know, Waddle's 598 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: just running down the field, you know, wide open. You 599 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: need guys who can catch the ball when there's someone 600 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: there defending them, you know, in their face, and there 601 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: is a skill to it. And I think Nikola Harry 602 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: left a little bit of a bad taste in her 603 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: mouth just because he was a big guy and you 604 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: expected him to be good at it, but somehow he 605 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: tended to get out physical for the ball and so 606 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: that maybe puts a little bit of a damper on 607 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: how you feel about those kind of players. But I 608 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: mean you can't. You can also look at Randy Moss 609 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 1: and that nobody better that can test it catches than him, 610 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: and it's like he's uncoverable. You know, when you're right 611 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: in front of him, he can go up and get it. 612 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: So you know, it's something to be said. I just 613 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: again engine Born Myers, Nixon, those kind of guys, and well, 614 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,239 Speaker 1: you know and think about it, you know, And and 615 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Doman, I appreciate it. If you're 616 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: not willing to throw as a quarterback to guys who 617 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: are covered, that really limits you. Yeah, that really limits you. 618 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: You know. Now a guy has to be open for 619 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: me to get rid of the ball, you know. And 620 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: so now that that and what happens then is you 621 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: have quarterbacks who just pull it down and run or whatever. 622 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: And you know, they just they just never get it off. 623 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: And you have to be confident in your receivers because 624 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: if you have guys that can make those fifty fifty catches, 625 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: that opens up that now you can stay on time, yeah, 626 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, in the pocket. And so you can't just 627 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: rely on guys in the NFL just getting open and 628 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: then I'll throw it to them. Yeah, And I think, 629 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think in Mac two, like you know, 630 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: one of his strengths is anticipation and throwing, you know, 631 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: before the guy is on his brake. And so hopefully 632 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: this year he's able to identify those matchups a little 633 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: bit and know, all right, this is the time to 634 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: take a shot to Agalora because he's got a speed 635 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: advantage or or you know, like I was saying with 636 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: Parker with height advantage, or you know, knowing his weapons, 637 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: having a familiarity with these guys that he's been working 638 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: with for you know, two years and all through the 639 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: summer now, you know, and having confidence in them, like 640 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: you said, to let them, you know, go up and 641 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: make plays on them. And at the in worst case, 642 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: it's going to be an incomplete because I know that 643 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: if I underthrow this a little bit or whatever, my 644 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: receiver's going to turn into a defender and he won't 645 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: let the other guy catch it either. So it's it's 646 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: just that confidence. And you know, if you don't have that, 647 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: then you're really limited. You're limiting your quarterback if you 648 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: don't have guys that can go up and get it. Yeah. 649 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: I wonder too, how much of we'll see Mac get 650 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: a little bit uh po that guys. This. You know 651 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: what Brady used to do when it's not quite the 652 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: way I want it. I mean, we saw him in 653 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: camp kind of walking routes for guys. You know how 654 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: much ownership does matter? I mean I think he took 655 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: has taken a ton of ownership of from what I 656 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: saw on the field in the spring. But yeah, when when, when, 657 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: when it's his fault, you'll know it, um. And when 658 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: it's somebody else's fault, I think you'll know it too. Um. 659 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: And that gets back to what Patty said. You know, 660 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: he wants to limit those delay of games that he 661 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: saw last year. Yeah, there were some, and a lot 662 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: of them were on Mac, but not all of them, 663 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: not all of Because I remember him walking to the 664 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: sideline with palms up, like, what are we doing guys? Yeah, 665 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't always his fault. And I saw a stat 666 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: too that because we've also, you know, Paul and I 667 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: are talking about taking sacks, you know, not identifying protection 668 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: correctly and not knowing where the free rushers coming and 669 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: getting blasted. And I saw a stat and I believe 670 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: it was from PF that that he only allowed one 671 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: all season long, where like the sack was on him. 672 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: I take it for what it is. I don't know, 673 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: but I think it's all It's all kind of connected though. 674 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: And even if you couldn't point to the stats and 675 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: say X y Z is where he ranked in terms 676 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: of you know, pre snap penalties and all that, I 677 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: just think that whole operation will be smoother. He'll have 678 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: more control and confidence in knowing what he's doing, and 679 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: we'll be able to get everybody on the same page 680 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: and and get the ball out quick. A lot of 681 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: emails coming in. One is from Peter and he's from Ottawa. 682 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: I think Peter's brought us lunch before. Just wanted to 683 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: chime in and say how much I'm enjoying the addition 684 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: of Alex to the show. Thanks Peter. Oh, she is 685 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: bringing lots to the table. I have to say it 686 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: was really pleased when she started talking about diet. I've 687 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: been listening to you guys for years, and I'm so 688 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: happy there is someone there who finally knows the right 689 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: way to eat. Define right way. I mean, I have 690 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: fun eating and I find it the right way. Are 691 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: you in a dark place right now with you're eating? Friend? Yeah? Anyway, 692 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: high protein and fat is the way to go. No 693 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: vegetable oils, little amount of carbs. I've been eating this 694 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: way for years. I'm in the best shape of my life. 695 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: I just wish she could get Paul to stop drinking 696 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: diet soda. The stuff is terrible for him. Pete, I'm 697 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: gonna get these guys on a meal planet. We're going 698 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: to run an experiment. Maybe you can help me there. Now, 699 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: diet soda, right, yeah, there's no calories in it? Correct? 700 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 1: So why is it bad for you? When you're taking 701 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: out actual sugar, they're sweetening it with all these chemicals 702 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: and crap. I don't know that stuff's like made in 703 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: a lab. That can't be good for you. Okay, this 704 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: is why it's bad for you, no matter what soda 705 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: in general. When in nature, when when we are a 706 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: hunter and gatherers, were we getting that much sugar into 707 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: our system at once? You never heard of sugar is 708 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: the carbonated rivers of Canadas. It's a shock to your system, 709 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: like a total shocked there, Like why are we getting 710 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: all this show? Not me? I've been doing it since 711 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: I was four years old. My body's used to go, 712 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: I actually saw something and this is another thing, Like 713 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: I saw something on the internet, so it must be true. 714 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: Um that they're like disoda, really, isn't that for you? 715 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: Like I've always been on the trainers like it's not really. 716 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't enjoy the taste of disoda, but um, 717 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I heard the reason why I heard 718 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: the reason why it's bad for you is that people 719 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: who tend people who drink a lot of diet soda 720 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: tend to think, oh I'm good, and then they eat 721 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: a huge bag of chips with it, you know, so 722 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: like false sense. Yeah, it's a false sense of security 723 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: and then you you go overboard on other things. Yeah, 724 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: I meant soda contains aspartine, which is a leaning cause 725 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: of Alzheimer's. Pause. Paul doesn't forget any you forgot where 726 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: put it? Yeah, not affecting again, he's not the model 727 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: for that. But uh, I mean I will say that 728 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: when I started dating my wife, she got she got 729 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: me to just not. I mean, I still drink soda, 730 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: I still dink drink gatorade. I just don't buy it 731 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: at the supermarket. I don't have it in my house, 732 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: so I don't consume as much. And I instantly lost 733 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: like ten pounds just not having gatorade. And yeah, and 734 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: you're not drinking your calories. It's makes such and that's 735 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: and that was a switch I made, was to water 736 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: and just constantly drinking water. Part of it was like 737 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: work thing too, or I just constantly drink water. So 738 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'll get up. I'd have to 739 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: go with that room and come. You know, it just 740 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: keeps you. Well, that's the other thing they said, you know, 741 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: like even though like diet sodas ninety percent water or 742 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: orange juice is ninety percent water, whatever, is it true 743 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: that like if it's not water, your body processes it 744 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: different and thinks, oh, this is food, I'm gonna process 745 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: it different. Or because they say, like, you know, just 746 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: drink water. Don't don't drink you know, just drink water. 747 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: It's better for you. Yeah, coconut water too, that's a 748 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: natural source, truly sweetened um. Definitely some goods lights. Yeah, 749 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: but I like coconut water. I like coconut water too. Yeah, 750 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: as long as you don't go over and board too, 751 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: because that'll blow you in. Put on some weight too, 752 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: is that right? Yeah? Yeah, but I still there are 753 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,439 Speaker 1: just times when I think a coke and a bag 754 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: of popcorn. That's just yeah, one of my best friends. Like, 755 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean, typically it is after a night of drinking. 756 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: But the way this girl craves a McDonald's fountain coke, 757 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, the fountain like a fountain with crushed ice, 758 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: That to me is just soda, soda perfection. Yeah, let's 759 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: see Colin and Rutgers writes in congratulations to Danny Amandola 760 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: and his retirement, He's always one of my favorite players. 761 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: Once the key guys from the Dynasty years get into 762 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: the Patriots Hall of Fame, do you think guys see 763 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: Danny Amondola getting in his clutch playoff performances stand out 764 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: to me when I think back on his time with 765 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I'm just curious if that would be 766 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: enough to get him in. I don't think so. I mean, 767 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: I love the guy, but like at a certain point, 768 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: you can't put anybody who made one or two big 769 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: plays in the super Bowl into the Hall of Fame, like, 770 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, like I think that's kind of the Edelman thing. 771 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: I think Edelman goes beyond that and is definitely in UM. 772 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: And same thing with High Tower, Like I feel like 773 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: High Tower he made a bunch of major plays. I 774 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: think the difference in the defense when High Tower was 775 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: in him was out was market. But speaking of High Tower, 776 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: have we heard anything. I was going to bring that 777 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: up earlier, but still not a peep. And it's so strange, 778 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: isn't it weird trying to figure out I don't get it, 779 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: and like not even like a think I might retire, 780 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: would be open to visits or yeah, he's very He's 781 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: not a big social media guy. No good for him. 782 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: He has been posting, though, at least his wife has. 783 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: I follow them both and it looks like they've been 784 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: having a great summer with the kids. Yea, his dog. 785 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: Do you see that the billboard here here in near 786 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: Jilest Sadium themselves like seems anti Dante or like it's 787 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just always see him is like 788 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: this big, badass linebacker and he's like a little little 789 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: dog up on the maybe kind of you know, he 790 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: and Bill have kind of an agreement, will just keep 791 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: you in the background and if if we need you, 792 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: I I you know, as much as I am banging 793 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: the drum, and they got to find some new guys, 794 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: and they certainly do. I would always take Dante high 795 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: Tower back. Um, you know, I don't. I don't know 796 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: if he can come needs to come back and play 797 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: every down, but I think that there's always a place 798 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: for it. But to me now at this point, that 799 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: means it ain't working out. It ain't working out, you know, 800 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: well you know, but I'd rather the year off too 801 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: that gave me. I love him like he is one 802 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: of my favorite players of my lifetime, watching the pads, 803 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: like that's the era I grew up with and like 804 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, those clutch plays and such a presence. 805 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: He's such a presence. But you're right, But like the 806 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: thing I keep going back to is like, just get 807 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: the best team you can possibly get. And I'm sorry 808 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: if Anthony Jennings or Josh Ucha aren't set in the edge, 809 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: like you know, to the level that you would have hoped. 810 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: If you feel like Dante high Tower can still do 811 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: it better, just to bring them back. I know it stinks, 812 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: but you know, just don't don't try to prove a point. 813 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: I wish Paul here because you know, let let the 814 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: kids play. I know, no, I know that would that 815 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: would be good. We will talk about it. Joey Wrights 816 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: saying he's from Texas. I feel like our wide receiver 817 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: group is pretty good, but not great with so many receivers, 818 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: do you guys think Mac Jones will find it difficult 819 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: to build chemistry with everyone. Typically the quarterback usually has 820 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: his favorites, but since Mac is fairly new to New England, 821 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: how does he even pick his favorite wide receivers? Since 822 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: there really isn't a great and obvious pick. I don't know, 823 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: don't you? I mean, isn't an argument to be said 824 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: that it's good that he doesn't just have one guy 825 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: that's awesome and it's trying to feed him, and that 826 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: he's got to find this offense himself, and that they've 827 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: given him a number of different styles of targets to 828 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: work with, and I think it's not to force feed anybody. 829 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: Usually it doesn't take long in camp for that to 830 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: shape out. You see it like nothing is declared, you know, 831 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: they don't ever tell you these are our five or 832 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: six guys, but you usually can tell within the first 833 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: couple of weeks what you know, who's who's been working 834 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: out with these guys, Like even little Jordan Humphreys spotted 835 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: in the background of one of those little offseason on Yeah. 836 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,959 Speaker 1: I love it. I mean I love all that stuff. 837 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: Mike writes in in twenty twenty two. Can we get 838 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: the live visuals to go along with the podcast? Fred, 839 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: please shell out the extra money to make this happen. Oh, 840 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: they want like a like a live, like a live 841 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: they want to see I mean, we've had this before. 842 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: It's like, like, what's the point after you see us 843 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: for five minutes? So you're really going to just watch 844 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: us talk, you know, unless you had somebody actually like 845 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: producing the show and putting graphic absolutely and little puppets 846 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 1: like they do on on the Hub with their live 847 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: feeds and stuff, I don't know. I mean maybe you're 848 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: really seeing though a lot of those pivots to the simulcast. 849 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: I think it's probably because people can take the clips 850 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: and post them on social and it's like added exposure. 851 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean maybe now that John Dickerson has mentioned us, uh, 852 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: who's the Slate podcast? Maybe you know it's not a 853 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: sports guy, you know, no even a sports guy face 854 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: the nation with CBS. We should start putting that on 855 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: the tagboard of like the oldest running podcast since nineteen Yes, 856 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: we should, right, just get like the quotes and then 857 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots unfiltered. Nobody's older. We gotta get some some advertise, 858 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, like some pump it up like the oldest 859 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: running pot sports podcast. We should have gotten a billboard 860 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: for training camp right Well, Dante High Tower Again, he 861 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: took that one with his dog, so um Jack writes 862 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: in for Manaba, the prevailing wisdom is that Cole Strange 863 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: will replace Ted Carross at left guard on opening day 864 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: this season. Well it really wasn't Ted Carross last year either. 865 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: In all the hullaballoo about the Patriots first round pick, 866 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: the question of who will replace Carrass as the Patriots 867 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: backup center has been overlooked. Backup center is an important position. 868 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: I don't think James Ferns is good enough to be 869 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: even a backup center in the NFL. Who's going to 870 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 1: be the Patriots backup center on opening Day? Well Strange. 871 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: I mean he did it at the Senior Bowl. They 872 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: threw him in there, and I mean everybody probably saw 873 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: the snaps ahead. Well, no, he has played center, but 874 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 1: he has played too. But the problem is, Okay, so 875 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: Cole Stranger is just starting left guard, he's doing well, 876 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: Andrews goes down. You don't want to move Cole Strange 877 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: out of left guard because now you're you know, moving 878 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: two positions. Yeah, you know, So I get Jack's point. 879 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: You know who really is um and who is it 880 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 1: right right now? Yeah? Other than Cole Strange, who probably 881 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: will Sherman or yes here Durant. Yeah, you know, guy, 882 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: I mean guys who have played. I mean not so 883 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: much Sherman, but I mean Durant has played. But I 884 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: think that that's that's a bigger question of what does 885 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: the second level of the line look like? How good? 886 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: You know it's justin Harran is the backup and we 887 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: all know that these tackles don't have the best injury history, 888 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,879 Speaker 1: so you know, is it just a matter of time 889 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: before Yadney could just or Haran get get kind of 890 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: thrust in, and you know that's not even getting into 891 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 1: then the interior part of the equation. But I feel 892 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: fine with Farren's I think he's been able to you know, 893 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: a record book. No, can you turn off that other mike? 894 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: Is that mike on right next to you? But yeah, okay, 895 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: I just wasn't feedback. Yeah, I'm just I just want 896 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: to make sure we don't have any mics on that 897 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: we don't need on. But I was I was talking 898 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: upstairs again about I think it's a really interesting year 899 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: for the one on ones and last year Barmore was 900 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 1: unblockable in the one on ones? Um did they stick 901 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: Cold Strange against Barmore? You know do we see that 902 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: rap a couple of times? Because I mean Barmore was 903 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 1: putting Shack Mason on his back, you know, last last year, 904 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: so uh, you know that's kind of a double edged 905 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: sword of like, well, I'm really excited about Barmore. Too 906 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: bad he was going through Cold Strange. But you know, 907 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: just what do those look like? What do those reps 908 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: look like? How do these new guys? Yeah, I really 909 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: hope that other guys can step up because you know, 910 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 1: Barmore can't do it by himself. And now he's got 911 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 1: a year of tape, so teams, he's no secret. Teams know, Okay, 912 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta account for this guy. He's pretty good. 913 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: So you know, second year can either be that second 914 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: year jump or we know this guy now and he disappears. 915 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: So I think he's that good. But there's you know, 916 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: he's not you know, a Dominican sue as in his 917 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: second year, he's gonna need some help around him so 918 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: he can do his thing. I think my big question 919 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: with Barmore, and we can get into this too in 920 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: the second hour, it is just you know, can he 921 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: can he get after Ta and the RPO stuff. Can 922 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: he get into the backfield and blow it up? Well, see, 923 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: this is the thing he can. I don't expect him 924 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 1: to make the tackle, but if he can disrupt it. 925 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: Now what we're the thing that we've been crying for 926 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: a last couple of years. Speed on the edge. Now 927 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: this is where these guys that we don't have answers 928 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: to have to come in the josh uchees and all that, 929 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: and they clean up. But he causes him to you know, 930 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: to move off the spot. Um, that's that's why, like 931 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 1: I said, like I would have loved one of these smaller, 932 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: fast linebackers in the draft, guys that can go either direction, 933 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: sideline to sideline to help you know when Barmore or 934 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 1: whoever in the middle, you know, disrupts it. Now up, Yeah, 935 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: Well it's you know, I said many times, think about 936 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: the divisional quarterbacks, and you've really had no answers for 937 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,919 Speaker 1: two of the last two years. You really certainly don't 938 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: have any answers for Josh Allen. Not really anybody else 939 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,399 Speaker 1: does either. But you know what what what's being done 940 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: to do that? And I think you know you're you're 941 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: having a young, fast linebacker is a good one. Jabrill Peppers, like, 942 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: how do we have these four safeties? You have all 943 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: three safeties return and who played and and and and 944 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: you know, Phillips and Dugger were all in the box, 945 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: all around on the edge in the I mean just 946 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: everywhere upfront. How does Peppers feel into that? And and 947 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: is Peppers as much as he's on pup and overcoming 948 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: an injury, how much does he relate into that linebacker 949 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 1: that they maybe didn't take. Is he signify some kind 950 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: of response to this Josh Allen offense that of course, 951 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, even when you get him, he's 952 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 1: he's running anyway. I think you know, on defense, once 953 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 1: once the once the once the snap has happened, it's 954 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: not as much and it's not a run play. Okay, 955 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 1: So the run in a passing play, it's not about 956 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 1: size anymore. It's about speed. Yeah, you know, it doesn't 957 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: matter how big you are if you can get to 958 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: the ball, wrap up, wait for help. You know. Now, obviously, 959 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: if it's a running play, you know you don't want 960 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: to be moved off your spot. But if it's a 961 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: pass playing like you mentioned, guys like Kyler Murray or 962 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 1: to Uh or Josh Allen, really almost all the quarterbacks 963 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: they're gonna play this year, once the play starts, it's 964 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 1: about speed. Yeah, it's all about speed. That's why I wonder, 965 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,479 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, is the no linebacker defense gonna 966 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 1: be all bust thing this year? Is that you know 967 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: what counter a guy like your Bill Peppers or any 968 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 1: of these safeties. Just because they don't have an LB 969 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: after their name doesn't mean they can't be the guy 970 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: cleaning up within two yards of the line of scrimage 971 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: and both those, both Dugger and Dam coming out, a 972 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 1: lot of people thought they might be linebackers in a 973 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: certain systems. So yeah, I mean it's it's it's a 974 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: little bit semantics of you know, Bill said today, we're 975 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: not really into coaching titles. I don't really think they're 976 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: into position titles either when we talk about the position 977 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 1: of the defense. But you know that that that's something 978 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: to keep an eye and I do think mac Wilson's 979 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of of a of a wild card 980 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 1: in that regard because he can run and he's quick, 981 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: and you know he's he's not um the big kind 982 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: of traditional linebacker, but he's tough. So how does he 983 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: fit into things? I think that's an element too. And 984 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: this is Paul hates this. Paul hates it when you say, 985 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, they're really going to be a scheme based defense. 986 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: They're not going to have the superstar that you know, 987 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: teams have to game plan, but they're gonna play well 988 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: together because they're gonna be game planned up before each game. 989 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna have assignments and if they can do their assignment, 990 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, you know, Paul will he hates that because 991 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you need talent, but I do believe 992 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,920 Speaker 1: on defense, not necessarily, but on defense, if you have 993 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 1: guys that all can do their job well, you can 994 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: be okay. Yeah, I mean I still I mean that 995 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,240 Speaker 1: still speaks to like the core of what I believe 996 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 1: of football, that you know, a well coached team playing 997 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: together will beat a team that has maybe more talent 998 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: but aren't playing together. And I don't know, I don't 999 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: think anyone will convince me. Certainly there are games where 1000 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: talent just takes over and happens, but not to say 1001 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: that you should actively not pursue talent. But you know, 1002 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 1: I just I still have hope. I still have hope 1003 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 1: even though there are a lot of questions on the 1004 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. And I mean I would 1005 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,360 Speaker 1: almost apply it more to the offense as well. Like 1006 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: I know, they don't have that great a superstar that 1007 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 1: everyone is in love with right now, and if you 1008 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: don't have a supermobile quarterback or one a receiver, you 1009 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: got nothing. I think that they can still be effective 1010 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: not give teams, you know, something to key on. And 1011 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: I think that they could be better on offense. Like you, 1012 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: I've said it I'm bullish on the offense. Yeah, I 1013 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: think the offense is going to be better than people 1014 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be. I think it's a top ten. 1015 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's what my expectation is, and I mean 1016 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: I have high expectations. But I think that they have 1017 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: the pieces and it's just a matter of bringing it 1018 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: together and hopefully this offensive schemeshift just helps boost that 1019 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: whole that whole thing, whatever that might be. Let's get 1020 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: to the phones again, the ah Sticket helpline eight five 1021 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: five pats, five hundred Christians in LA. What's up Christian? Hey, 1022 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 1: good morning guys. Then yeah, the approach training camp. Now, 1023 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: are you guys going to be you guys will be 1024 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,360 Speaker 1: situated and someone watching the defense, someone's watching the offense, 1025 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: and you communicate with each other. Or are you guys 1026 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: are gonna be one group at the defensive at the offense? Noah. 1027 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 1: I mean we're usually kind of just wherever you go. 1028 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I always it's hard. Sometimes guys are a 1029 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: mile away and so you can't really plan to watch something. 1030 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,800 Speaker 1: Um I mentioned the one on ones. That's always something 1031 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: fun to look at, but it's so we won't see 1032 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 1: difficult We won't really see that until the pads go on. Yeah, 1033 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 1: there's there's not this I would say the next few days. 1034 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: As much as I'm excited to be out there, there's 1035 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 1: probably not going to be a whole bunch of information 1036 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 1: or things gleaned from it other than But it's a 1037 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: it's a good question because there is a lot going 1038 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: on at the same time, and you know what we 1039 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: tend to do is, you know, we tie you to gravitate. 1040 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 1: You know, uh, like Paul will be watching, you know, 1041 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 1: what's going on with the receivers, you know, and like 1042 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: du said, you know, maybe someone's watching the one on 1043 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,240 Speaker 1: ones between the offensive line and the defensive line. Um, 1044 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,399 Speaker 1: so we we do that a lot, you know. Yeah, 1045 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean I think the team the team periods too 1046 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: or where you often get the most out of when 1047 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: it's live. Um, didn't really see much real like live 1048 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: ball down and distance, that kind of scrimmage stuff and 1049 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 1: mini camps, so that stuff is Yeah, I mean that's 1050 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,919 Speaker 1: easy to watch too, because it's all happening right there. 1051 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: Thanks Christian, Let's go to Fidel in Florida. What's up, Fidel? 1052 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: Hey you guys, how are you good? Good? I actually 1053 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: was calling in for a topic guys had on Thursday 1054 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 1: about mattresses because that's actually that's right football. So he's 1055 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: always selling the furniture to doll the So what do 1056 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: you got, Well, my specialty is mattresses. So I was 1057 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,240 Speaker 1: gonna say the repetis are the best. Absolutely, I recommend 1058 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,799 Speaker 1: those to everyone. Uh, they are expensive, but they're not 1059 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 1: as expensive as one I think Eric would get. U. 1060 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 1: There's a new bed called an Intela bed. It's made 1061 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: with this like jail material. It costs like ten thousand dollars. 1062 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if there was a mattress Eric, who 1063 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: it would be that one. But that's not a therapeutic peutic, 1064 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: right Eric. That's a different brand. And I was gonna say, 1065 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: it's a shame that Paul's not on because I think 1066 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 1: the mattress he got wasn't a therapetic. It's like one 1067 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: of those off brand one. Oh, how do you know 1068 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,839 Speaker 1: top therapetic.

Yeah, so that's the weight watchers model. Yeah. Yeah, 1084 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: but that's concerning because like I used like the Mistiness 1085 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,719 Speaker 1: talapp and just scanned everything. And there's an website called 1086 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 1: a TDEE Calculator which your high weight age and your 1087 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,799 Speaker 1: sex and it tells you how much calories you need 1088 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: to burn in a day and how much you need 1089 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 1: to eat in the day just to maintain, lose or 1090 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 1: gain weight.

It can be a little hot. Yeah, well 1117 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,319 Speaker 1: they have a cool version now, I guess I don't 1118 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 1: know how it works, but they gave us like a 1119 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,359 Speaker 1: like a zip up that you put around it. That's 1120 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 1: like this cooling kind of material that that kind of helps. 1121 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: But once you're kind of in it, and you know, 1122 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 1: especially when in the humidity, it's yeah, it can be 1123 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 1: a little tough with that, but I like it. I've 1124 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: gotten used to. This is Bob's Furniture is still a sponsor. 1125 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,279 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's those Paul's guys. All right, So 1126 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 1: I can't tell you where I got my mattress. We 1127 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,280 Speaker 1: gotta get the Bob's studio at the Bob's Discount Furniture 1128 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: Studio ready for for Paul in the in the preseason game, 1129 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 1: right Eldred's in North Carolina. Hay Aldred, Hey, ladies and gentlemen, 1130 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 1: how y'all doing today? Good? Yeah? Yeah, I got a 1131 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: couple of questions. I heard part of your earlier conversation, 1132 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 1: like who's gonna be real second Uh maybe the guys center. 1133 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,439 Speaker 1: What about Damian Williams when we picked up he ste 1134 00:53:54,440 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 1: alone art or the Daryl Williams Right, Yeah, he's been around. 1135 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: I mean I don't think he's ever I mean, same thing. 1136 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: He's in that mix with those second level but does 1137 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: he have center experience. I'm not sure. I had him 1138 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: as a guard, but he did some. ESPN has him 1139 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:15,359 Speaker 1: four or five yeah, even to get us. And don't 1140 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,760 Speaker 1: forget about Cody Russey too, because he got one hundred 1141 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 1: and eighty K out of Houston, and I mean and 1142 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,440 Speaker 1: he was getting some action because Andrews was out in 1143 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: minicamp too, so I'd put him in the mix. You know. Again, 1144 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:26,920 Speaker 1: if Paul was here, he'd be like, oh that the 1145 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 1: numbers Center. Yeah, well I thought you were gonna say 1146 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,720 Speaker 1: Paul got mad at the at how much they paid 1147 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: free rookie free agents like that. That's another thing. I 1148 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: think that she would just get mad because we're talking 1149 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: about an offensive linemen. Yeah, so what one question is Okay, 1150 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 1: I thought cole Frame was going to the right guard 1151 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: because she lost Mason, and who's the left card? So 1152 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 1: if he go left guard, Yeah, who's gonna be the 1153 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: right guard and not take it off the air. Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, 1154 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: that wasn't when used college positions, So I mean he's 1155 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: kind of been on a position. They tried to play 1156 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: him a left guard last year and that's when Carros 1157 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,879 Speaker 1: came in. Um, we know we played right tackle a bunch, 1158 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: but but I think right guard is something to watch 1159 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: with him and and left guard is what cold strange? Yeah, Cole, 1160 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,799 Speaker 1: I mean we saw him minicamp. He was after the 1161 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,879 Speaker 1: first day right in there there he is. Yeah, yeah, 1162 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:18,240 Speaker 1: put him right in Greg's in California. Hate Greg. Hey, guys, 1163 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 1: can you hear me? Yeah? Yeah, okay, cool. Um. First 1164 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,439 Speaker 1: of all, I'm the guy who called in a couple 1165 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 1: of weeks ago and started the whole argument about Drew 1166 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:32,919 Speaker 1: Brees that happened. I was like two weeks of content. Yeah, yeah, 1167 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: I was, because many people cared about that. Good question. 1168 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 1: So my question is I didn't really watch the build 1169 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 1: last few games of the season two close until recently. 1170 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: And besides, when they played US twice, people seem to 1171 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 1: be able to force puns on them a right, they 1172 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: had our number. You see the divisional round against Kansas City, 1173 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 1: So much. Yeah. Well, statistically speaking, we were a pretty 1174 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: good defense last year. I feel like we were a 1175 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 1: better defense than the Jet as a whole. But I 1176 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,800 Speaker 1: think you have to look at that like last six 1177 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,640 Speaker 1: games versus the rest of the season, because we had 1178 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: that one stretch where we feasted on you know, the 1179 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 1: lesser part of the league and that upped our stats, 1180 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, so you have to look at it in 1181 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,360 Speaker 1: context of each game and at the end of the season, 1182 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,839 Speaker 1: we just didn't do well defensively. Yeah, I mean, do 1183 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,040 Speaker 1: you think even at the end we were worse than 1184 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: the Jets defense or the Panthers one or no. No, 1185 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 1: I mean, in a weird way. They still would have 1186 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: hammered those teams and probably completely shut them down, just 1187 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 1: like they shut down Jacksonville. But for whatever reason, against 1188 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 1: the good teams, they just they didn't have it. I 1189 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: have no explanation for it. I don't I don't know 1190 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 1: why this has happened in the last few years. And 1191 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,719 Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Greg, do you I know, you 1192 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: know you don't want to make excuses, but do you 1193 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 1: think that there was you know, guys who just got 1194 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 1: worn out at the end of last year? I mean, 1195 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe but you know, like I'm why why 1196 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 1: this year? What? Yeah? Yeah, like Matt shoot on and 1197 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, like did some of them just get worn out? 1198 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: And that's not an excuse, but what was it the case? Yeah? 1199 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 1: You know, I mean you could say the same thing 1200 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 1: about you know, twenty nineteen when it was the Boogeyman 1201 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: and they started out on fire and then you know, 1202 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee rolled right over them here. Um, you know, twenty 1203 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 1: twenty down the stretch, it wasn't really coming together. Then 1204 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 1: last year the same thing. So I just I'm looking 1205 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,640 Speaker 1: for a common thread in a way to say, oh, yeah, 1206 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,400 Speaker 1: they did, but like you know, they've kind of done 1207 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 1: it the last three years to varying degrees, and maybe 1208 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,480 Speaker 1: the you know, maybe the common connective tissue is those 1209 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, kind of veteran linebackers that they have. But 1210 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 1: it's hard to blame them. I mean, I really don't know. 1211 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm hoping that this is a reset, 1212 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: and I'm just excited for tomorrow to finally get past 1213 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 1: that Buffalo game and no punts and get some new 1214 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: football on the field and start to have new things 1215 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: to talk about and give them a chance again. But 1216 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 1: it's it's it's disconcerting. But again, you watch them against 1217 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City, watch Buffalo against it, they ain't they It's 1218 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 1: not like oh there before. I mean, Josh Allen is 1219 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: playing out of his mind last year, and if that continues, 1220 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 1: you need to pray, you know, to beat him, because 1221 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: even when you have the right coverage, he squirts out. 1222 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 1: You know, even when you got him on fourth down, 1223 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: Hey we got the fourth and two, He's just gonna 1224 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: run a little quarterback, keep it right up the middle. 1225 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 1: And you know, it's I'd love to know at a 1226 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,520 Speaker 1: high level what Bill Belichick thinks his defense needs to 1227 00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: do to compete with these kind of teams, because it's 1228 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,479 Speaker 1: it's frankly, it's been two years that that there haven't really, 1229 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, been improvement. It's just got to get defended. 1230 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 1: These get there the Dolphins, you know, our pos and 1231 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,440 Speaker 1: just I would just say generally Josh Allen because I 1232 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 1: think it's more about him than they maybe Buffalo's scheme 1233 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 1: of a why that they're so all right, We're gonna 1234 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: take a break um here on Patriots Unfiltered.

Praise for Mac Jones Matthew Slater saying that 1408 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,599 Speaker 1: he was biased obviously being one of his teammates, but 1409 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 1: that this is Max team now and that he is 1410 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, thinks that the world of him basically, and 1411 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,679 Speaker 1: called him a great leader since the moment he stepped 1412 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,800 Speaker 1: in the building and really had a lot of nice 1413 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 1: things to say about Mac off the heels of you know, 1414 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: Belichick saying things this morning about Mac that were pretty 1415 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 1: surprising to hear the language that Belichick used to describe 1416 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,800 Speaker 1: what big of a leap Mac has made this offseason. 1417 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 1: So it was a lot of praise for Mac again 1418 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,840 Speaker 1: from Slater, but he also talked about being a kid 1419 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 1: in school again coming back from summer break, and that's 1420 01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,479 Speaker 1: sort of the feel of today and tomorrow for most 1421 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 1: of the players. So we'll see how Slater feels in 1422 01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,000 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. But I mean, we all think 1423 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,240 Speaker 1: that this probably is it for him. From Matthew Slater, 1424 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, yeah, I don't know, what is 1425 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 1: he thirty eight now? I mean, he's still pushing it, 1426 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: but yeah, still probably one of the fastest guys in 1427 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, you know, yeah, certainly the most inspirational. Yeah, 1428 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,680 Speaker 1: what else he got for a seven? Yeah? Go ahead. Yeah. Well, 1429 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,320 Speaker 1: we talked to David Andrews as well, obviously on the 1430 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 1: publist right now, who can come off at any time, 1431 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 1: and he basically alluded to the fact that they have 1432 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 1: no reason to rush him into training camp and he's 1433 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,160 Speaker 1: just taking it day by day. But doesn't sound at 1434 01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 1: least based off of what he said, that he's any 1435 01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 1: bit concerned or anything like that about missing any anything 1436 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 1: important as we go over the next couple of weeks. 1437 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,040 Speaker 1: So Andrews made said he's making progress. There was no 1438 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,400 Speaker 1: setbacks or anything like that after he had the shoulder 1439 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:54,760 Speaker 1: surgery in January, so he's going to be ready to 1440 01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 1: go here soon. It sounds like, yeah, I mean, he's 1441 01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,720 Speaker 1: a guy you don't worry about, you know, because even 1442 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 1: if he misses a week or two, you know, he's 1443 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,520 Speaker 1: just gonna slip me. I do worry about him in altitude. 1444 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:06,280 Speaker 1: That's when I'm worried about him. With the black clots stuff. Yeah, 1445 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 1: a little bit, but yeah, that'd Dmax. Anything about Jason's 1446 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: debut on Good Morning Football, he called him a media 1447 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: type now, so he made fun of us, as he 1448 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 1: always does. Make fun of the media types and now 1449 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 1: he made fun of his brother for being one of 1450 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:23,759 Speaker 1: us or becoming one of us. But he mostly talked 1451 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 1: about the grind of camp, and he had made a 1452 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:31,000 Speaker 1: joke that nobody's actually happy to be back in training camp, 1453 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 1: which I think he does every single season, or says 1454 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,720 Speaker 1: every single year, So I wouldn't read too much into that. 1455 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 1: But he also mentioned that a new Jersey legend joining 1456 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 1: him in the safety group with Jabriel Peppers. Excited to 1457 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,720 Speaker 1: have Peppers aboard and with him and Kyle Dugger and 1458 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,680 Speaker 1: Adrian Phillips. He actually hearkened it back to when they 1459 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,639 Speaker 1: had dron Harmon here and Tavon Wilson and Nate Ebner 1460 01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,160 Speaker 1: and mentioned that it's always been a hallmark of the 1461 01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:59,320 Speaker 1: Patriots secondary to have three or four safeties that can 1462 01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: all play at Yeah, no, we're gonna see four. I mean, 1463 01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 1: that's what Evan and I we're just already starting to 1464 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,719 Speaker 1: dip into the football conversations, and you know, as Ernie 1465 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: and Bill have had their football we started our own, um. 1466 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:10,680 Speaker 1: But that was something we were talking about of you know, 1467 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 1: really you had the three safeties coming back, and we said, 1468 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: you bring Peppers in talked about you know, are they 1469 01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 1: just going to run up four man line with with 1470 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 1: with seven dbs and back of them? Um? You know, 1471 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean obviously Evan is has has great analysis and 1472 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited to to you know, welcome that in. 1473 01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 1: And I think we're at a time now where they 1474 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 1: got to do some stuff on defense to counter these 1475 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,720 Speaker 1: RPOs from Miami and everything that Josh Allen is um, 1476 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, as well as all the much talked about 1477 01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, kind of scheme evolution. So again I think 1478 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:39,479 Speaker 1: it's a good I'm going to tee it up for 1479 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:40,960 Speaker 1: Evan just you know, what are your what are your 1480 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,519 Speaker 1: thoughts here of both those sides of the balls of 1481 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about we saw a lot of 1482 01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,640 Speaker 1: wide zone and the and in mini camp and you know, 1483 01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:50,040 Speaker 1: is that you know connected to the Shanahan offense and 1484 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,360 Speaker 1: is that the direction they're going? We don't know, but um, 1485 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:54,040 Speaker 1: you know what, what are kind of your feelings on 1486 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,080 Speaker 1: where the offensive defense? We'll get to people's calls and 1487 01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,679 Speaker 1: emails in a minute, but like you know, everybody knows 1488 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:03,639 Speaker 1: like our take one going into the season, what's your take? Yeah, well, 1489 01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:05,840 Speaker 1: I think to go off of a Mike was saying 1490 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 1: the seven dB strategy or having four safeties on the 1491 01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,960 Speaker 1: field at once. With Peppers now in the mix, it 1492 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,679 Speaker 1: reminds me of that twenty eighteen Chargers defense who shut 1493 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 1: down Lamar Jackson in the wildcard round that came here 1494 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 1: and lost the Patriots in the divisional round, and they 1495 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,639 Speaker 1: were one of the first teams to start playing seven 1496 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,160 Speaker 1: dbs or you know, kind of a dollar package with 1497 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:31,519 Speaker 1: those defensive backs playing essentially as linebackers and against a 1498 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,479 Speaker 1: team that was very option heavy or RPO heavy with 1499 01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,280 Speaker 1: Lamar in his rookie season. Granted it, he was only 1500 01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 1: a rookie and it was a different animal now maybe 1501 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,040 Speaker 1: facing a guy like Lamar, but at the time it 1502 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,960 Speaker 1: really slowed him down and kind of won the game 1503 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,559 Speaker 1: for the Chargers. So I look at Miami, I look 1504 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:52,080 Speaker 1: at what the Bills are doing with Josh Allen, and 1505 01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,519 Speaker 1: think maybe that could be the approach here against some 1506 01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:59,080 Speaker 1: of those teams, especially with the Dolphins now with Hill 1507 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 1: and Waddle and all the speed that they can put 1508 01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 1: on the field, You're not going to want to put 1509 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pound linebackers when Tyr Hill is 1510 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,760 Speaker 1: crossing one way and Jalen Waddles coming from the other 1511 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:10,640 Speaker 1: direction and they're not going to be able to keep up, 1512 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 1: So maybe they do go with a more seven dB 1513 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 1: package at times. I love the idea of going four 1514 01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 1: man lines and allowing Judeon and bar Moore to just 1515 01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: kind of tee off at times and come after the 1516 01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:26,320 Speaker 1: quarterback in those situations too. And I still think in 1517 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 1: terms of big picture, with the entire team going into 1518 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 1: the season, this all rides on mac shoulders, and I 1519 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,600 Speaker 1: hate to put it all on the quarterback, but what 1520 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 1: it is, it's a quarterback league. Yeah, if he can 1521 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,920 Speaker 1: take that next step that even his head coach is 1522 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 1: now talking about that he appears to be taking, then, 1523 01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:47,000 Speaker 1: as we have known for number twelve or twenty plus years, 1524 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 1: it makes everything easier on everybody else when the quarterback 1525 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,640 Speaker 1: is playing at an MVP level. So ultimately they're going 1526 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 1: to go as far as Mac Jones can take them. 1527 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question, because we were 1528 01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,639 Speaker 1: talking about it just before you got here. We're talking 1529 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,600 Speaker 1: about the end of last season. In your opinion, what 1530 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:04,960 Speaker 1: happened to this defense at the end of the last season. 1531 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: Why is Bill belichick defense unable? For example, to have 1532 01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 1: buffalo punt in two games. Yeah. I think the biggest 1533 01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 1: thing that Matthew Judon alluded to, I think it was 1534 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:18,559 Speaker 1: during Super Bowl Week when he was on the radio 1535 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,360 Speaker 1: and doing kind of the gamut there at Super Bowl 1536 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:25,479 Speaker 1: Week was guys trying to take over games. And I 1537 01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,360 Speaker 1: think him in particular, he was racking up so many 1538 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 1: sacks in the first eleven twelve games of the season, 1539 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: twelve and a half sacks in the first twelve games 1540 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,719 Speaker 1: as a Patriot, and he's thinking, oh, I'm gonna get 1541 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,559 Speaker 1: twenty this year, right, I'm really getting after it. I 1542 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:42,240 Speaker 1: think after a point in time there, it started to, 1543 01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, the mant around here, do your job right, 1544 01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 1: and instead of doing your job, it was individual guys 1545 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 1: trying to just take over the game on their own merit, 1546 01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:54,720 Speaker 1: and we know that that doesn't necessarily work. When I 1547 01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 1: look at the defense, I think of those types of things. 1548 01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,280 Speaker 1: And not to bash him on his way out by 1549 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: any means, but J C. Jackson I think might be 1550 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:06,080 Speaker 1: in that category to playing for that contract. Judeon, he 1551 01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,280 Speaker 1: thinks that he can just tee off after the quarterback 1552 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:12,439 Speaker 1: all the time, and but see, okay, that could be 1553 01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,679 Speaker 1: the case. But after a couple of games where coaches 1554 01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 1: see that, why aren't the coaches reeling these guys back? 1555 01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,280 Speaker 1: You know, why do you let it go on for 1556 01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 1: you know, seven more games or whatever it was. You know, Yeah, 1557 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 1: it's a fair point. And I think when you talk 1558 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,320 Speaker 1: to most of the players, I think they're also especially 1559 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 1: John the stretch last year, at the end of last year, 1560 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:31,519 Speaker 1: we talked to them, like after the Buffalo game, for example, 1561 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,360 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, they were searching for the answer, right, like, 1562 01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 1: how did we get to this point? How did we 1563 01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,200 Speaker 1: let it get here? You come off that win in Buffalo, 1564 01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,719 Speaker 1: in the windstorm, in Orchard Park, you beat the Bills 1565 01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: on their home turf, and at that point in time, 1566 01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,240 Speaker 1: you're the number one seed in the AFC, you're the 1567 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 1: number one seed in the division. You think everything is 1568 01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,559 Speaker 1: lining up perfectly for you. And then and then the 1569 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, the ground fell out from underneath them from there. 1570 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,759 Speaker 1: So I don't know the answer of why they weren't 1571 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,320 Speaker 1: able to reel it back in. That's why I hired you. Yeah, 1572 01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know, ye And I hate to 1573 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:07,519 Speaker 1: just no, I think that, but it's true. I mean, 1574 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 1: and that's what we've been talking about and then you 1575 01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,679 Speaker 1: have like that outlier against Jacksonville that you know, maybe 1576 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:14,880 Speaker 1: they were all just kind of like whatever, we'll probably 1577 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:16,800 Speaker 1: beat him, and everybody wasn't trying to do too much. 1578 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:18,519 Speaker 1: And then I mean, there were probably so much more 1579 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,680 Speaker 1: talent than Jacksonville didn't even matter anyway. But I think 1580 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 1: that's one of the great questions. And I mean it 1581 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 1: goes back to Bill's quote right after that game of 1582 01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 1: is this a bad night or is this what we are? 1583 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: And we'll find out when we start playing again. So well, 1584 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, again we have a saying around here, Evan, 1585 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,559 Speaker 1: don't when it comes to Bill Belichick, don't listen to 1586 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 1: what he says. Look at what he does. And what 1587 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 1: he did to me in the offseason was he let 1588 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 1: Jamie Collins go, Dante Hike Towers that we signed, he 1589 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:50,120 Speaker 1: let let Venny go. And I don't think he was 1590 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,439 Speaker 1: happy with that linebacker play. And I don't think those 1591 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,920 Speaker 1: guys were going to get him where he wanted to 1592 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 1: be this year. And I think it comes down on 1593 01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 1: defense to our some of these young guys going to 1594 01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:04,200 Speaker 1: be able to be better than they were, you know, 1595 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 1: the group last year, and I'm including mac Wilson in 1596 01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,599 Speaker 1: that and ray Kwon McMillan, you know who we didn't 1597 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,680 Speaker 1: see last year? Is this linebacking corps going to be 1598 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,960 Speaker 1: better than it was last year? Because to me, that's 1599 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: where the big change is, other than losing J. C. 1600 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:21,439 Speaker 1: Jackson obviously. Yeah, I mean it's um, you know, it's sorry. 1601 01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,439 Speaker 1: I just got totally distracted by that tweet and I 1602 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:27,519 Speaker 1: had something cute up to say. Sorry. Someone else called, yeah, 1603 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 1: I remember, I remember. Um. You know Tevin's point and 1604 01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,439 Speaker 1: to your point, Fred, with the linebackers, he's just I 1605 01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:35,840 Speaker 1: wonder how hungry these guys were, and not just the 1606 01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 1: guys that have left. But I think it's understandable the 1607 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,240 Speaker 1: psychology of players who have played for championships and have 1608 01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 1: always been in the mix, and you know, to suddenly, 1609 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,639 Speaker 1: not that they were out of the mix, but suddenly 1610 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,440 Speaker 1: they're not the big dogs anymore. They're not the favorites. 1611 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,519 Speaker 1: And you know, can you get that by turning things 1612 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:55,559 Speaker 1: over to some younger guys. And while you might lose 1613 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,600 Speaker 1: some of the experience some of the knowledge with a 1614 01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:59,880 Speaker 1: guy like Ouch or Jennings or some like or Perk, 1615 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,840 Speaker 1: and those guys haven't won super Bowls and they know 1616 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 1: right now that this is the opportunity. Are they going 1617 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 1: to come out and play like hungry dogs, you know, 1618 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,040 Speaker 1: or are they going to come out which I didn't 1619 01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 1: have a problem last year with you know, the savvy 1620 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,800 Speaker 1: of high Tower and van Noy returning after you know, 1621 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 1: a year when when they were just kind of like 1622 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 1: Bentley and terres Hall out there, I mean, the random 1623 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,479 Speaker 1: you know guys that were out there. I wonder that too, 1624 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,639 Speaker 1: And then I wonder, you know, if some of these veterans, 1625 01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean, clearly d mac is back, but you know, Lawrence, guy, 1626 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,320 Speaker 1: Dietrich Wise, these guys can they can they refine that 1627 01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: level of Hey we're not we're not the top dogs. 1628 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,360 Speaker 1: We have to be the scrappy get every inch that 1629 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:39,040 Speaker 1: we possibly can and play with that kind of style. Yeah. Yeah, Ultimately, 1630 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 1: I think it ties back to what we were talking 1631 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 1: about with the seven dbs and the four safety package 1632 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: and things like that. The Patriots defense is not fast enough, right, 1633 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:48,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they're just simply not fast enough. And you 1634 01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 1: look at what Buffalo puts on the field, You look 1635 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,000 Speaker 1: at their way they run their offense, with their spread offense. 1636 01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 1: Now you look down in Miami and just in the 1637 01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,280 Speaker 1: division you can see it happening around you, but you 1638 01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 1: can also see it and outside the division in Kansas 1639 01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,680 Speaker 1: City or in the Chargers or wherever you want to go. 1640 01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 1: And the Patriots defense last year with those linebackers, the 1641 01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 1: savvy was great. The veteran presence is great. Dante high Tower, 1642 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna have them, you know here in five years 1643 01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 1: with the red jacket on and everything, and an all 1644 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,240 Speaker 1: time great Patriot. But they simply weren't fast enough at 1645 01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:21,160 Speaker 1: the second level. And you start to look at some 1646 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 1: of the things that they can do. Even if a 1647 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:26,639 Speaker 1: guy like Cameron mcgrown eventually comes along and emerges here 1648 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,760 Speaker 1: down the stretch at some point, the speed that they 1649 01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:31,559 Speaker 1: can put on the field now, I think is what 1650 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 1: they're hoping is going to allow them to be a 1651 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 1: little bit better at defending some of these teams. And 1652 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:38,960 Speaker 1: I look at a guy like Alan and what the 1653 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,680 Speaker 1: Bills do. They have really adopted a spread style in 1654 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo with their offense, their three wide, their shotgun all 1655 01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,760 Speaker 1: the time. They don't really have an under center run 1656 01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 1: package or play action package that they use or major in. 1657 01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,679 Speaker 1: Now you start to get into some of the things 1658 01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,679 Speaker 1: that they do with their spread. It puts a lot 1659 01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,040 Speaker 1: of a lot of stress on the second level. And 1660 01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,599 Speaker 1: I listened to Mike Lombardi all the time talk about 1661 01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 1: the mic linebacker position, and that's really the guy that 1662 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 1: sets the speed or sets the tone in terms of 1663 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,559 Speaker 1: your pace of your defense. And in the past, the 1664 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,000 Speaker 1: Patriots have had two hundred and fifty five two hundred 1665 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 1: and sixty pound mic linebackers like a high Tower or Bentley, 1666 01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: and at some point in time they have to evolve 1667 01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,200 Speaker 1: with what they're seeing. And we always know that Belichick 1668 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,759 Speaker 1: tends to have a great eye for these sort of things, 1669 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,880 Speaker 1: and hopefully now is the time when he's finally going 1670 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,479 Speaker 1: to take that next step and realize we got to 1671 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:34,439 Speaker 1: do something different here because the league is going one 1672 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 1: direction that is not the plotting two gapping. Let's fill 1673 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:40,840 Speaker 1: the whole linebacker. Yeah, you mentioned, you know, you talked 1674 01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 1: about Mac and what Bill had said and what the 1675 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,599 Speaker 1: players are saying about him. Does he have enough weapons 1676 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:50,680 Speaker 1: on this offense? Well, I think for him, the emphasis 1677 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 1: is going to be on spreading the football around. And 1678 01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:55,599 Speaker 1: we've heard Brady say that for years as well, that 1679 01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: the guy I'm thrown to is the open man, right, 1680 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:00,800 Speaker 1: And I think that is really going to be an 1681 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,599 Speaker 1: emphasis this year for Mac. I think last year at 1682 01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:05,840 Speaker 1: times they are having him be a little bit too 1683 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,000 Speaker 1: conservative just to protect the football. It's when you know 1684 01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:12,320 Speaker 1: the turnover battle, let's not throw interceptions. This year, I 1685 01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,720 Speaker 1: would like to see him be a little bit more 1686 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,320 Speaker 1: trigger happy sometimes and throw the football down the field 1687 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:21,439 Speaker 1: with a little bit more aggressiveness and then hopefully their 1688 01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,760 Speaker 1: depth takes over. That's what they're going to have to 1689 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 1: count on. They don't have a Davante Adams, they don't 1690 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 1: have a Tiree Hill, but they have a receiving group 1691 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,479 Speaker 1: that can go five or six deep. They have two 1692 01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,599 Speaker 1: tight ends that can catch the football and do some things. 1693 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,680 Speaker 1: They have guys out of the backfield that can do 1694 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 1: some things. So you look at the depth and just 1695 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,000 Speaker 1: the sheer numbers that they can throw at teams, hopefully 1696 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,759 Speaker 1: they'll have an ability to just spread the football around 1697 01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 1: and what do you take away? Right? You take I agree, 1698 01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,840 Speaker 1: I think they've got enough good depth. I mean, they 1699 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,679 Speaker 1: don't have any superstar, but I think they have enough 1700 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 1: good depth to keep defenses on their heels as long 1701 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 1: as the playbook has opened up and Mac, like you said, 1702 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 1: isn't nitive, you know, gets rid of the ball on time. 1703 01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm I people know on this show, I'm bullish on 1704 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,360 Speaker 1: this offense. Yeah, me too. I really think it's going 1705 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,760 Speaker 1: to be a better than people think offense. I wonder 1706 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 1: almost if his interception totals spike a little bit, like 1707 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,639 Speaker 1: go up a little bit. If it's okay because he's 1708 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,840 Speaker 1: taken the chance. Okay, they'll get a couple of touchdowns. Yeah, 1709 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,000 Speaker 1: but we might get you know, a couple of bombs 1710 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,400 Speaker 1: to to. I don't know Taekwon Thord and maybe that's 1711 01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,519 Speaker 1: that's a good one too. Have we've talked about a 1712 01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,439 Speaker 1: little bit of you know, expectations for Tae Kwon Thorne 1713 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:33,160 Speaker 1: as a second round receiver who clearly is fast. Um, 1714 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 1: but as you said, and you know, we've said, there's 1715 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:37,719 Speaker 1: so much depth there and it's not like, oh, here's 1716 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,599 Speaker 1: the depth, but there's you know, legitimate NFL players above him, 1717 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,599 Speaker 1: and you know, do you I've been asking myself, am 1718 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,920 Speaker 1: I selling him short? Like? Am I not even really 1719 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 1: giving him a chance? Am I just assuming that he's 1720 01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:53,120 Speaker 1: a year one rookie role player who three four plays 1721 01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:54,479 Speaker 1: a game. He's gonna go out, They're gonna take a 1722 01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:56,479 Speaker 1: shot to him. You know, it's it's Bethel Johnson, it's 1723 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,360 Speaker 1: Matthew Slater when they didn't have any exactis right? If 1724 01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,679 Speaker 1: he's even act you know? So is that selling him shorts? 1725 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,240 Speaker 1: You think? I mean, I mean that's why I just 1726 01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,559 Speaker 1: don't want to lower him expectations because in any other year, 1727 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,560 Speaker 1: I think a second round wide receiver who was the 1728 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,640 Speaker 1: fastest guy in the draft, you'd have some expectations, and 1729 01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 1: I feel like I don't really have any expectations for him, 1730 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,479 Speaker 1: at least this year. Yeah, they have the ability this 1731 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,720 Speaker 1: year with Taekwon to put as much speed on the 1732 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 1: field offensively as they've had in recent seasons. Because Aglare 1733 01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:26,720 Speaker 1: runs a low four four Tae Kwon's four to eight. 1734 01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean, those two guys alone are a lot faster 1735 01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:30,840 Speaker 1: than some of the other players that they've had over 1736 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And we also know that 1737 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,960 Speaker 1: Kendrick Boring, even though he did it time great when 1738 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 1: he came out, he plays a lot faster than maybe 1739 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,880 Speaker 1: what the forty time would suggest. So for me, I'm 1740 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 1: not ready to say that Tae Kwon Thornton's gonna have 1741 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 1: eight hundred yards and as a rookie or anything crazy 1742 01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,200 Speaker 1: like that. But just his speed alone, I think can 1743 01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,960 Speaker 1: impact a defense where it's worth it to have him 1744 01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 1: out there, even at a small percentage of the time, 1745 01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,839 Speaker 1: because when you start talking about not only vertically stretching 1746 01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 1: the field, but maybe his ability to horizon. He stretched 1747 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 1: the field at times, whether it's setting him in motion 1748 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 1: before the snap. Yeah, just any sort of crossing pattern 1749 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:09,839 Speaker 1: after the snap that he can run. And then obviously 1750 01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,760 Speaker 1: the verticals we saw it in mini camp. He just 1751 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,439 Speaker 1: sometimes he just runs by people. And when's the last 1752 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,519 Speaker 1: time that the Patriots had a receiver, probably Brandon Cooks, 1753 01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,599 Speaker 1: that you could sit here and say, oh, he just 1754 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,439 Speaker 1: ran by the guy, Like it's you know, I get 1755 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,160 Speaker 1: into the minutia, the xs and os, and sometimes it's 1756 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:28,640 Speaker 1: like he's just the other guy and we ride up 1757 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,920 Speaker 1: across from him. And I think that for the first 1758 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 1: time since probably Cooks. Not to put too much expectations 1759 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,360 Speaker 1: on him, but I think they have somebody that can 1760 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,720 Speaker 1: at least run by people. Let's see about the other 1761 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:40,880 Speaker 1: details of the game, but from that point of view, yeah, 1762 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,320 Speaker 1: do you think it's like as a coach when you've 1763 01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:43,960 Speaker 1: got a player like that, like you have to kind 1764 01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 1: of plan to like put it in defense's minds that 1765 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,040 Speaker 1: he can run by people. So you know, get it 1766 01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:52,280 Speaker 1: on film, like all right in the preseason or whatever, 1767 01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna run a go with him, and you gotta 1768 01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 1: hit it. And then that way everyone's talking about it. 1769 01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 1: And then you know, because if you just kind of 1770 01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 1: bust him out, he doesn't really work because a decoy, 1771 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,760 Speaker 1: he works only if you hit the path play. So 1772 01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,040 Speaker 1: I don't know just strategically, how do they how do 1773 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 1: they roll them out? And and and I think I think, 1774 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,920 Speaker 1: I think whether it's him or Agal or it's just 1775 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,080 Speaker 1: the threat of the long pass, ye whoever it is, 1776 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 1: you know, like they could go down field. We have 1777 01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:19,080 Speaker 1: to defend that, you know, And I go back. You know, 1778 01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,479 Speaker 1: one of my pet peeves is, you know, I forget 1779 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,519 Speaker 1: which player might have been somebody from the both the 1780 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,360 Speaker 1: Patriots are easy to defend. Yeah, I'd never heard that 1781 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 1: before in twenty eight years. So we got to get 1782 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:33,360 Speaker 1: that out of you know, the lexicon. Do you have 1783 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:38,960 Speaker 1: any sleeper picks for camp guys? I like, in camps, 1784 01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: somebody somebody no one's expecting to emerge and he's going 1785 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,439 Speaker 1: to sneak up on people. Well, we were talking about 1786 01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:48,760 Speaker 1: earlier Mike sam Roberts, who's another rookie, but him and 1787 01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:52,639 Speaker 1: Lebrian Ray, the DFA from Alabama that they signed. Just 1788 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,400 Speaker 1: another big body on the defensive line that can hold 1789 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 1: up at the point of attack. I think would pay 1790 01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,679 Speaker 1: real big dividends for this defense they got. Times last 1791 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 1: year they had struggles resetting the line of scrimmage, holding 1792 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,720 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage up front, and maybe they get 1793 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:08,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more aggressive and allow guys to start 1794 01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 1: teeing off and shoot gaps and things like that and 1795 01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 1: more of like a single gap system. But if they're 1796 01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,280 Speaker 1: going to stick with this two gap, if they're going 1797 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 1: to try to hold and build that wall, so to speak, 1798 01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:21,400 Speaker 1: and they're going to need another guy that can do 1799 01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:24,160 Speaker 1: that and be steady on the inside. So I'm looking 1800 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,479 Speaker 1: at some of these younger defensive line and see if 1801 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:29,080 Speaker 1: they can hold up once we get into pads and 1802 01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:32,639 Speaker 1: see how those things go. Other than that, I would, 1803 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:34,959 Speaker 1: you know mention. I know it's not necessarily a sleeper, 1804 01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,680 Speaker 1: but a guy like Trey Nixon I think really is 1805 01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:41,080 Speaker 1: going to continue to build upon the spring because you 1806 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 1: try not to get too caught up in the nonpadded 1807 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,920 Speaker 1: practices and in mini camps and these passing camps that 1808 01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,120 Speaker 1: are essentially no contact, no pass rush at times. But 1809 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,400 Speaker 1: you look at the way that he can run routes 1810 01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,120 Speaker 1: from the slot and his ability to actually stretch the 1811 01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:57,240 Speaker 1: field from the slot on slot fades or the big 1812 01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,719 Speaker 1: route that he was running in mini camps, the corner 1813 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 1: ball from Mac Jones and those types of routes Mac 1814 01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 1: lived on at Alabama. You know, you put a condensed split, 1815 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 1: or put Davonte Smith in the slot or Jalen Waddle 1816 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:11,599 Speaker 1: in the slot, and you just have him get vertical. 1817 01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,200 Speaker 1: And Mac has a really nice touch, deep throw that 1818 01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:16,280 Speaker 1: he can just drop it in the bucket along the 1819 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 1: sideline to guys. I think that that throw is definitely 1820 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 1: more in max repertoire. And last year we saw a 1821 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:25,640 Speaker 1: couple hunter Henry Jacoby Myers. I think they used a 1822 01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 1: little bit on those phades, and it's just those twenty 1823 01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,880 Speaker 1: to twenty five yards shot plays down the field from 1824 01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,960 Speaker 1: the in tight formations that allow him to kind of 1825 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:36,880 Speaker 1: just lay it out there for guys. Whereas when you're 1826 01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:39,360 Speaker 1: trying to throw a go ball along the sideline and 1827 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,280 Speaker 1: he's going from the other hash like that might be 1828 01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,320 Speaker 1: the throw that's a little bit tougher for him to 1829 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,840 Speaker 1: throw forty fifty yards down the field, but you drop 1830 01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 1: it in the bucket. Whether it was a wheel route 1831 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,000 Speaker 1: to a running back, whether it was one of those 1832 01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,960 Speaker 1: phades from inside. Mac has a really pretty ball there. 1833 01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,120 Speaker 1: So I think that a guy like Trey Nixon can 1834 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 1: maybe add that element as well. So, you know a 1835 01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 1: lot of media people saying Patriots are going to completely 1836 01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 1: revamped their offense. It's going to be a completely different revamp, 1837 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, offense this year. I'll believe it when I 1838 01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,479 Speaker 1: see it. I mean, there's gonna be new elements, I'm sure, 1839 01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:13,719 Speaker 1: But like I'd be shocked if, like all of a sudden, 1840 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 1: Mac is running RPOs and you know, we've we see 1841 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,360 Speaker 1: a completely different offense that we've seen. You know what, 1842 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,639 Speaker 1: do you think I would love to see Mac run RPOs? 1843 01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,439 Speaker 1: This is one thing that I've been harping on since 1844 01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:28,920 Speaker 1: they drafted him at Alabama. Eleven point nine yards per 1845 01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:32,439 Speaker 1: attempt on RPOs, eleven touchdowns to zero interceptions. Him and 1846 01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:36,599 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith, especially who obviously won the Heisman Trophy probably 1847 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 1: catching forty balls off of RPOs slants just absolutely tore 1848 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 1: it up on those types of concepts with Mac, He's 1849 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:46,720 Speaker 1: a great decision maker. He throws a good anticipation accuracy 1850 01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,400 Speaker 1: to lead guys into yak and lead guys into opportunities 1851 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:53,520 Speaker 1: to run with the football. So those types of packages 1852 01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 1: I think are something that they need to So you 1853 01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,559 Speaker 1: think they might, I think they will. I don't think 1854 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 1: that it's ever going to be something they're going to 1855 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,160 Speaker 1: lead the league in necessarily. And last year they were 1856 01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,519 Speaker 1: the last they were lowest him on in the league. Yeah, like, 1857 01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't even they've ran any like a couple but yeah, 1858 01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there was a couple of players that 1859 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:13,200 Speaker 1: had sort of like what would you call package plays 1860 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,280 Speaker 1: where it's it's attached to it, but it's really not 1861 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 1: the goal of the play. It's it's only if Mac 1862 01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:20,320 Speaker 1: pre snap gets the exact look that they're looking for, 1863 01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:22,880 Speaker 1: which they ran with Brady at times too. But I 1864 01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 1: talked to Josh McDaniels about it last year. I asked him, 1865 01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 1: I said, you know, what about RPOs, Like, do you 1866 01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:29,840 Speaker 1: guys think about that? Do you guys think about installing that? 1867 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,280 Speaker 1: And he said, it's not something that we major in, 1868 01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:34,479 Speaker 1: and I you know, now that he's not here, I'm like, 1869 01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:36,759 Speaker 1: maybe you know, you do it a little bit more often. 1870 01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:39,439 Speaker 1: And with Joe Judge's experience with with Daniel Jones, I 1871 01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:41,200 Speaker 1: mean they you know, they did a little bit too. 1872 01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a it's a key way. 1873 01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:45,720 Speaker 1: And you know, if Paul was here, I can hear 1874 01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:48,400 Speaker 1: what he would be saying about the RPOs. But I 1875 01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,680 Speaker 1: really think that the RPOs lean into if you have 1876 01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:55,120 Speaker 1: receivers that maybe aren't the fastest or most dynamic, that 1877 01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 1: it helps that it helps guys get open quicker because 1878 01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,200 Speaker 1: they're going to be right no matter what happens. So 1879 01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:03,760 Speaker 1: I look at it as a way, like Evan said, 1880 01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,599 Speaker 1: I agree, I'd love to see that be an element. 1881 01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 1: I just think the bigger question right now is that 1882 01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:11,519 Speaker 1: d shanahan offense is all build off the wide zone 1883 01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:13,840 Speaker 1: run and everything comes off of that. We saw a 1884 01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,800 Speaker 1: ton of it in OTAs. Is that what's coming as 1885 01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:18,400 Speaker 1: like the base, they're going to be kind of like 1886 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 1: the Broncos used to be, where it's wide zoe wide zone, 1887 01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,200 Speaker 1: you know, bootleg out off of it. Those kind of 1888 01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 1: things that everything that McDaniel did with Debo as well. 1889 01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:29,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if they go that far, but I 1890 01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,519 Speaker 1: think the RPOs it just makes sense. As Evan laid 1891 01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,040 Speaker 1: out with Mac. I think it's what he does well. 1892 01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:39,760 Speaker 1: I think. So tell me what makes a good RPO quarterback? 1893 01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:43,120 Speaker 1: Decision making I think is the biggest thing, and that ability, 1894 01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean too is one of the best in the 1895 01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:48,080 Speaker 1: league added and his ability to make those quick, split 1896 01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:52,800 Speaker 1: second decisions and get the football out where the disinvantage 1897 01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,280 Speaker 1: is for the defense. I think the number one buzzword 1898 01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:57,639 Speaker 1: that I always hear is conflict. Right, you always want 1899 01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 1: to be putting the defense in conflict making. Guys make 1900 01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 1: decisions where there's no right answer, whether that it's a 1901 01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:07,439 Speaker 1: post route by a receiver and it's you know, post crosser, 1902 01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 1: and it's like do I take the post or do 1903 01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 1: I take the crossing route? Like which one do I defend? 1904 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,960 Speaker 1: If I'm the deep safety. Devin mccordy talks about it 1905 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 1: all the time. He gets put into conflict at that 1906 01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:21,479 Speaker 1: post safety role constantly, and he's always making decisions about 1907 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,720 Speaker 1: what's the biggest threat, and conflict is what you want 1908 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 1: to put defenses into attack. Their rules know their responsibilities 1909 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,679 Speaker 1: and kind of reverse engineer it to go after them. 1910 01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,639 Speaker 1: And that's what the RPO accomplishes in a really simple way. 1911 01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,599 Speaker 1: For the offense, it's it's a run play for the back, 1912 01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,320 Speaker 1: it's a run play for the line, it's a pass 1913 01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,160 Speaker 1: play for the receivers in the quarterback, and everybody can 1914 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:47,320 Speaker 1: understand their assignments pretty easily. But the defense is never 1915 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,639 Speaker 1: right if you run it correctly. They're literally never correct. 1916 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,639 Speaker 1: And that's the big thing about it. You know, where 1917 01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,360 Speaker 1: did RPOs emerge? Like what was kind of like we've 1918 01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,840 Speaker 1: heard about, you know, West Coast offense, we've heard about 1919 01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, run option obviously Oklahoma nebrassmen running that for decades, 1920 01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 1: but RPO, Like, where did that come from? Yeah? The 1921 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 1: college game. Most of the college coaches that start everything 1922 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:15,320 Speaker 1: that for the most part, those types of innovations always 1923 01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 1: trickle up, right. It sometimes always starts all the way 1924 01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,280 Speaker 1: in high school. The college game, though, I would say 1925 01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:24,519 Speaker 1: the guy that really brought it to a big time 1926 01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:27,320 Speaker 1: program was Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma. He was sort of 1927 01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:30,479 Speaker 1: the first one to bring it to the Power five 1928 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 1: right and say this is actually something that we're gonna 1929 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 1: major in and do regularly, and then you started to 1930 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,360 Speaker 1: get into it, you know, Joe Brady and the LSU 1931 01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,240 Speaker 1: and that year with Joe Burrow it became big there. 1932 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,800 Speaker 1: And now Alabama even runs it with all their quarterbacks 1933 01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:48,439 Speaker 1: with Mac obviously in two AH and now as well. 1934 01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 1: So you look at some of all of the things 1935 01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:54,599 Speaker 1: that Alabama are doing too, and you're mentioning the wide 1936 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,720 Speaker 1: zone stuff, the Shanahan tree, they have some elements of 1937 01:33:57,720 --> 01:33:59,479 Speaker 1: that in it. But I think the two biggest things 1938 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:01,680 Speaker 1: that Alabama does that I would love to see the 1939 01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 1: Patriots adopt and Mac is obviously extremely familiar with it, 1940 01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:08,120 Speaker 1: is one the RPOs and two pre snap motions. So 1941 01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots are a big pre snap shift team. They'll 1942 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 1: move a guy over here and move a guy over 1943 01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:16,640 Speaker 1: there and allow that to either dictate the defense or 1944 01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:19,640 Speaker 1: give the quarterback and receivers kind of a tell, right, Okay, 1945 01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:24,040 Speaker 1: if somebody motions it's man zone whatever. But pre snap 1946 01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:28,760 Speaker 1: motion is jet motion and arounds things where the receivers 1947 01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:32,360 Speaker 1: are the guy coming in motion is moving while the 1948 01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:35,679 Speaker 1: ball is being snapped, and those types of things really 1949 01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,680 Speaker 1: stress and statistically it shows that the teams that do 1950 01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:42,200 Speaker 1: it the most are very very good offensively when they 1951 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,400 Speaker 1: do it. Teams like the forty nine ers are at 1952 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 1: the top of that list as well. So you look 1953 01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:49,240 Speaker 1: at pre snap motion and you start to put defenses 1954 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:51,720 Speaker 1: again into that conflict of well, now we got to 1955 01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:55,040 Speaker 1: shift over here, and whose responsibility is the motion and 1956 01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:57,800 Speaker 1: is it just window dressing or are they actually going 1957 01:34:57,840 --> 01:34:59,360 Speaker 1: to throw the ball or hand the ball off to 1958 01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,639 Speaker 1: that guy? And it starts to just present a lot 1959 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:04,479 Speaker 1: more problems for the defense. You know, for me, like 1960 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:08,400 Speaker 1: the RPO, the difference there is instead of giving the 1961 01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:12,240 Speaker 1: quarterback the freedom of deciding pre snap pass or run, 1962 01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:16,200 Speaker 1: they're giving the quarterback the freedom post snap pass or run. 1963 01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,519 Speaker 1: You know, now where I mean, I guess are there 1964 01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:22,640 Speaker 1: is it a simplified read to just one guy? So 1965 01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:23,880 Speaker 1: I mean, are you going to have to go through 1966 01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:25,720 Speaker 1: any kind of progression or is it pass to one 1967 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:30,680 Speaker 1: guy or handoff or sophisticated? Yeah, most of the sophisticated 1968 01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:34,479 Speaker 1: RPOs are basically reading two guys. You're reading the backside 1969 01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,599 Speaker 1: defensive end. If he stays put and holds his ground, 1970 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,080 Speaker 1: and you're usually going to hand the football off. If 1971 01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:43,040 Speaker 1: he crashes down, then you're going to use some sort 1972 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:45,479 Speaker 1: of pass, or if you're adding a run element for 1973 01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:48,639 Speaker 1: the quarterback, which the Patriots probably won't be obviously, then 1974 01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:51,599 Speaker 1: you have the quarterback keep it and the edges not 1975 01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,679 Speaker 1: being set. The other option that you have is reading 1976 01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,479 Speaker 1: the second level and read the linebacker. So it's essentially 1977 01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,840 Speaker 1: the same as a play action pass at that point, 1978 01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:03,000 Speaker 1: but it just has the real built in option to 1979 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,800 Speaker 1: actually hand the football off to the running back. So 1980 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:08,720 Speaker 1: you start to think about those RPOs are what their 1981 01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:11,040 Speaker 1: Patriots are going to run. They're not going to run 1982 01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:14,200 Speaker 1: the RPOs with the read option element like what Baltimore 1983 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 1: does with Lamar right, they're gonna run or you know 1984 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 1: Arizona with Kyler. They're going to run the RPOs where 1985 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,559 Speaker 1: Mac is usually going to read either the strong side 1986 01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:26,679 Speaker 1: or the weak side linebacker at the second level. If 1987 01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,439 Speaker 1: that linebacker steps into his gap, then you're passing it 1988 01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 1: right by his ear. If that linebacker stays back in 1989 01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,639 Speaker 1: the passing lane, then Damian Harrison Romandre Stevenson are coming 1990 01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:36,680 Speaker 1: down your throat. And that's sort of the idea of 1991 01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 1: the conflict. Ethan and Vermont writes in Fred just want 1992 01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:42,360 Speaker 1: to say what a great hire Evan is. Who would 1993 01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:44,840 Speaker 1: have thought you'd replace Eric with someone who actually loved 1994 01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:48,080 Speaker 1: and can talk football. Great stuff so far, looking forward 1995 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:51,800 Speaker 1: to the camp broadcast, assuming Evan will be on air 1996 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:55,000 Speaker 1: with you at times. You know, right now we're trying 1997 01:36:55,040 --> 01:37:00,560 Speaker 1: to get Eric Evan. You got confused getting a similated 1998 01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:02,840 Speaker 1: with the place. You know, his main duty is the beat, 1999 01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:05,920 Speaker 1: you know. Um, but he will be film film out 2000 01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,760 Speaker 1: analysis too, obviously that's what he does. Great. I've got 2001 01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:10,840 Speaker 1: to make sure to play into his so I don't 2002 01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 1: want to overwhelm him by giving him everything on day one. 2003 01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 1: But you'll hear from him, whether it's on this show 2004 01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:20,160 Speaker 1: or in addition to this show, his own. We'll figure 2005 01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 1: that out. Yeah, it's all day two. Yeah, yeah, Day two. 2006 01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:27,599 Speaker 1: Let's get to some phone calls. Um, see what people 2007 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:35,080 Speaker 1: are thinking. We'll go to Robin and Birmingham. What's up Robin? Hey, everybody? Y, 2008 01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:41,280 Speaker 1: I am a first time caller, but long time listener. Okay, 2009 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:46,000 Speaker 1: and um well, I just wanted to call in because 2010 01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:50,679 Speaker 1: I m am on maternity leave, actually have a baby 2011 01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:54,000 Speaker 1: on the day of the draft, and so I have 2012 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:56,559 Speaker 1: not been able to listen to any of the podcasts. Um. 2013 01:37:56,600 --> 01:38:00,800 Speaker 1: I know Eric left because I thought on Facebook. Um, 2014 01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,200 Speaker 1: I was just wondering if y'all could just give me 2015 01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,559 Speaker 1: a I don't like, a quick recap of the summer 2016 01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:11,200 Speaker 1: or maybe like any players drafted you'll were excited about. No, well, 2017 01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:15,280 Speaker 1: let's cut. I mean, you know, you know, we'll do 2018 01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:18,680 Speaker 1: a special show for you, Robin. But but you know, 2019 01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:22,679 Speaker 1: I think we're all excited about you know, um, well, 2020 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 1: I don't know excited is the word. But we're confident 2021 01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:27,599 Speaker 1: in Cole Strange, like he's gonna come in and he's 2022 01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Yeah, you know, I would just say generally, 2023 01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a whole lot to really tie 2024 01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:35,160 Speaker 1: your wagon to in terms of free agency in the draft, 2025 01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:38,680 Speaker 1: I think it's I'm excited Parker certainly little pieces, but 2026 01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,000 Speaker 1: I think the main core of this team is about 2027 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:42,760 Speaker 1: the year two of Mac and year two of all 2028 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,280 Speaker 1: those free agency signed two years ago, and what strides 2029 01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:46,880 Speaker 1: do they take and that you know, and of course 2030 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna need Davante Parker and Cole Strange to contribute. 2031 01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:52,040 Speaker 1: But I think really how this team does is going 2032 01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:54,400 Speaker 1: to be about last year's free agency class and the 2033 01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,280 Speaker 1: last few drafts of guys that have gotten an opportunity 2034 01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:00,240 Speaker 1: and of course that the headline is is MAC and bbin. 2035 01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,880 Speaker 1: Do you use um bar soap or do you use um? 2036 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:07,720 Speaker 1: The words out of my mid Yeah, when you don't 2037 01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:09,679 Speaker 1: have to listen to seven shows about soap on a rope. 2038 01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:11,400 Speaker 1: What kind of soap do you use in the shower? 2039 01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:18,000 Speaker 1: Liquid or bar lufa liquid? Okay, all right, all right, 2040 01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,360 Speaker 1: thank you, congratulations on your baby. How about you evan 2041 01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,519 Speaker 1: liquid soap or bar soap? Bar soap bar soap? What 2042 01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:26,200 Speaker 1: do you do with the wafer when you get down 2043 01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:29,519 Speaker 1: to the end. I use it all the way through, 2044 01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,160 Speaker 1: I know, but how yeah, what do you mean? How 2045 01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:34,680 Speaker 1: is there a way to use it properly? Well, you 2046 01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:36,800 Speaker 1: get to that moment of the little sliver and you're 2047 01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:38,920 Speaker 1: rubbing it on your arm or other body part, and 2048 01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:40,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it just evaporates and you're like, 2049 01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:43,040 Speaker 1: I did it. I use the whole bar of soap. Yeah, 2050 01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:46,280 Speaker 1: that's it's really satisfying. You never thought like, wow, instead 2051 01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,840 Speaker 1: of using this little crummy piece of soap, I might 2052 01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:50,920 Speaker 1: have another new bar of soap with I don't know, 2053 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,400 Speaker 1: to slide that in and you put it on top 2054 01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,600 Speaker 1: of you like press it together, like these bars are 2055 01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,559 Speaker 1: soap you don't even know the rabbit hole you're going 2056 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,840 Speaker 1: down right now. These bar get it too that later 2057 01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:06,839 Speaker 1: next off season Williams and Philham William hung up. William 2058 01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,160 Speaker 1: hung up. That's that's too bad. Let's get to some 2059 01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:14,400 Speaker 1: of these emails that are coming in. Johnson is in 2060 01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:18,439 Speaker 1: Porter's Lake Nova, Scotia. He says, I'm not sure if 2061 01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:21,000 Speaker 1: this has been discussed lately, but the coaching titles announced 2062 01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 1: last week. I've seen many YouTube experts and he's got 2063 01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:27,599 Speaker 1: those that in quotes claiming the Patriots are in trouble 2064 01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:30,240 Speaker 1: without the fine roles. Do you think that the no 2065 01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:34,320 Speaker 1: OCDC thing is for real or is this some contractual 2066 01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:38,400 Speaker 1: solid our organization is doing to help Patricia paid by 2067 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:41,519 Speaker 1: the lines through twenty twenty two and Judge making five 2068 01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,479 Speaker 1: million a year through twenty twenty five. I don't really 2069 01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:47,879 Speaker 1: understand it for the defensive side, but looking for any insight, 2070 01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Brian Floraz didn't have a title. I mean, 2071 01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,360 Speaker 1: it has happened. It has happened, and they have had 2072 01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,040 Speaker 1: years without titles, but I do think it's significant. I'm 2073 01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,760 Speaker 1: getting sick of it though, because I think ultimately a 2074 01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,920 Speaker 1: boy down to Bill and Mac and you know, I think, 2075 01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, play calling is an art to it. You 2076 01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:07,920 Speaker 1: want somebody who's experienced. How's it going to play out? 2077 01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:10,439 Speaker 1: We'll find out, But I still just them, Like I 2078 01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:12,360 Speaker 1: think Tommy Kerran tweeted out today that was just like 2079 01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,639 Speaker 1: all right, I think I'm over this because every time 2080 01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:16,640 Speaker 1: we're asking about it, we'll find out. We'll see in 2081 01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,519 Speaker 1: the next we'll find out. But could it be the 2082 01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,519 Speaker 1: contract situation where as soon as you make them, you 2083 01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:25,760 Speaker 1: give them the title, then something kicks in with Detroit 2084 01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:27,760 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of specul giant of that that 2085 01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:29,840 Speaker 1: this is a way that they're saving money and saving 2086 01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:31,920 Speaker 1: them from having to meet with the with the with 2087 01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,240 Speaker 1: the media. Although I thought Matt Patricia was awesome when 2088 01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:36,360 Speaker 1: he talked to us over Mini Camp, I mean, just 2089 01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, really really forthcoming, and you know, hopefully that continues. 2090 01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:41,839 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd love to continue to be able, especially 2091 01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,080 Speaker 1: if he's heavily involved in the offense. I don't think 2092 01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:45,840 Speaker 1: anybody knows right now, but I think, I mean, I 2093 01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:47,599 Speaker 1: think Joe Judge is going to be beside on Max 2094 01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,360 Speaker 1: side his sounding board, but I think it very well 2095 01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:53,280 Speaker 1: could be Patricia as the one who's calling the plays 2096 01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:56,080 Speaker 1: and you know, let Billy Yates worry about the offensive 2097 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:57,680 Speaker 1: line on game days. I don't think that that's what 2098 01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,360 Speaker 1: do you think, Evan? What's I mean? Are you as 2099 01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:04,080 Speaker 1: concerned summon the media as the offensive coaching situation? Well, 2100 01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm assuming the YouTube expert was a shot at me 2101 01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:10,880 Speaker 1: for my former employers, think so, yeah, maybe that was me. 2102 01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:14,040 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is what Mike was just 2103 01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:18,040 Speaker 1: saying is to me that process that you just outlined, 2104 01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:22,000 Speaker 1: Joe Judge working with Mac shoulder to shoulder in the 2105 01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:24,439 Speaker 1: weeds with him every single day out of practice in 2106 01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:27,599 Speaker 1: the film room and install all that type of stuff. 2107 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,080 Speaker 1: And then they get to Sunday and here comes Matt 2108 01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,760 Speaker 1: Patricia calling plays that it spells. It's like a game 2109 01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:37,720 Speaker 1: of telephone, right, like the Lost in Translation. I think 2110 01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:41,200 Speaker 1: can happen really easily when it's one guy in your 2111 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,680 Speaker 1: ear for five days and then the sixth day you 2112 01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:47,080 Speaker 1: come to Sundays and it's Matt Patricia calling the plays. Now, 2113 01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:49,679 Speaker 1: the one theory that I've heard floated that I do 2114 01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:52,000 Speaker 1: think might end up being what it is is that 2115 01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:56,960 Speaker 1: Belichick might actually be the one that is hand picking. Okay, 2116 01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,320 Speaker 1: we're going to run here, we're gonna pass here, and 2117 01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:01,680 Speaker 1: then they're gonna have, as they do every week in 2118 01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,519 Speaker 1: the game plan, you know, fifteen pass plays that they 2119 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,519 Speaker 1: like against this defense. And then maybe it will be 2120 01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:09,120 Speaker 1: up to Matt Patricia or Joe Judge to pick the 2121 01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,760 Speaker 1: exact play that they're going to run. So maybe the 2122 01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:14,360 Speaker 1: Bill could probably do it without a play sheet, right, right, 2123 01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:17,080 Speaker 1: So you wouldn't even know if he's doing that, right. 2124 01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,519 Speaker 1: So Scott's Ole said this on the radio a few 2125 01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:22,200 Speaker 1: weeks ago about how that's how it worked with under 2126 01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,519 Speaker 1: Bill Parcels for a while when they were still working 2127 01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:26,800 Speaker 1: out who was going to be the OC for the 2128 01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:29,320 Speaker 1: Patriots back then when Zoe was on the team and 2129 01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,920 Speaker 1: he said that, Parcels would say, let's go run, run 2130 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,600 Speaker 1: pass here, let's go pass, run, let's go you know 2131 01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:39,679 Speaker 1: up right, we're all in two minute. Let's let's pass 2132 01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:41,680 Speaker 1: the football, you know, all the way down the fields here, 2133 01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:43,880 Speaker 1: and then it would be up to the assistant to 2134 01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:47,439 Speaker 1: then hand pick which exact plays out of the hat 2135 01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:50,280 Speaker 1: that they're going to pull to run. But to me 2136 01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,280 Speaker 1: that if you're going to rpl then you throw that 2137 01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:58,160 Speaker 1: out the window. Right. The biggest thing is run pass. Yeah, 2138 01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:01,519 Speaker 1: you just want to make sure that the messaging is 2139 01:44:01,960 --> 01:44:06,000 Speaker 1: sustinct to him and that he's the one that's comfortable 2140 01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:09,040 Speaker 1: with what they're actually calling. On Sundays, the last thing 2141 01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:11,160 Speaker 1: that you want is them to call a play and 2142 01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:12,840 Speaker 1: then Mac to get back to the side and then 2143 01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,960 Speaker 1: be like, I don't like that play? Why are we 2144 01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:17,120 Speaker 1: running that play? The quarterback should like every play that 2145 01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:19,759 Speaker 1: you run, and that's going to think be the hardest 2146 01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:23,240 Speaker 1: challenge if it is Matt Patricia, Yeah, I agree. I 2147 01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:25,559 Speaker 1: think you got to have the same voice throughout the week. 2148 01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:30,800 Speaker 1: You can't switch it up. Now if it's Patricia, right, 2149 01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,000 Speaker 1: does he do it from the sideline or does he 2150 01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:35,760 Speaker 1: do what some OC's do and do it from upstairs? 2151 01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, quite Frankly, I don't understand how 2152 01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:40,639 Speaker 1: OC's do it from the sideline. Yeah, it really does. 2153 01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:44,040 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't compete with me, because if you can't 2154 01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:46,320 Speaker 1: see the twenty two players on the field and how 2155 01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,400 Speaker 1: the defensive structure is lining up and things like that, 2156 01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:53,439 Speaker 1: it's remarkable that so many good ocs do it from 2157 01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:55,640 Speaker 1: the sideline. And you even talk about play callers that 2158 01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:58,000 Speaker 1: are head coaches like Kyle Shanahan, or Sean McVay. They're 2159 01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:01,400 Speaker 1: obviously on the sidline, and I get the the personal 2160 01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:03,599 Speaker 1: in your face that you can get with the quarterback, 2161 01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:05,400 Speaker 1: and you can sit down on the bench as we 2162 01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:08,280 Speaker 1: saw it for years with McDaniels sitting next to Brady, 2163 01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:12,120 Speaker 1: sitting next to mac cam going over you know, stills 2164 01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:15,040 Speaker 1: and things like that. So I get that element of it. 2165 01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:18,720 Speaker 1: But in terms of actually understanding what's going on schematically, 2166 01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it by just standing there, 2167 01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:23,840 Speaker 1: but I'm sure there's advantages to both. Did you ever 2168 01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:26,080 Speaker 1: ask Josh about that? I have, I never did, but 2169 01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:29,000 Speaker 1: maybe we have that opportunity, hopefully to talk to Patricia 2170 01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:31,760 Speaker 1: or a judge who end up getting the responsibility down 2171 01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:33,519 Speaker 1: the road, and we can ask that question. Yeah, I 2172 01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:36,040 Speaker 1: mean on the sideline, maybe you know, you get more 2173 01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:38,880 Speaker 1: of a feel, You hear what people are saying. You know, 2174 01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:41,920 Speaker 1: you can you know, I'm I'm beating this guy or 2175 01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:45,040 Speaker 1: you know whatever. I'm sure. I'm sure, like you said, 2176 01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, different guys do it different ways, and there's 2177 01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:51,080 Speaker 1: advantages to both. But you would think looking down and 2178 01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,360 Speaker 1: being able to see, yeah, it's a field. It's just 2179 01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:56,519 Speaker 1: a weird experience. I think like calling a game and 2180 01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,759 Speaker 1: the energy on the sidelines and you know, just everything 2181 01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:02,040 Speaker 1: that goes on there, and then to be kind of 2182 01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:04,400 Speaker 1: in a you know, clean environment up in a press 2183 01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:07,080 Speaker 1: box where it can be quiet. I mean, it's even 2184 01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:08,680 Speaker 1: weird for me in the press box when it's like 2185 01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:10,559 Speaker 1: people are you know, you're watching a football game. You 2186 01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,840 Speaker 1: don't even realize there's seventy thousand people right in front 2187 01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,240 Speaker 1: of um. Then I was just interesting when you decide 2188 01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,519 Speaker 1: to make that transition of because I think most you know, 2189 01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:19,560 Speaker 1: people coming up you high school football, everybody's you know, 2190 01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:21,639 Speaker 1: mostly on the sidelines. So yeah, I don't know it'll 2191 01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:23,360 Speaker 1: be I mean, but I think it'll be interesting because 2192 01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:25,600 Speaker 1: you'll get a good sense of, you know, his mappetrishi 2193 01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:27,360 Speaker 1: on the sideline because that's where the offensive line coach 2194 01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:29,720 Speaker 1: always was talking in the offensive line. You can't but 2195 01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 1: last year he was the advisor, so that was up top, 2196 01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:34,280 Speaker 1: That's for sure. You can't coach the old line from 2197 01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:36,760 Speaker 1: up top, right, So if you're gonna do both, you 2198 01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:39,320 Speaker 1: gotta be down on the field unless you hand over 2199 01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:43,040 Speaker 1: to your assistant, you know, Billy Yates, uh, you know, 2200 01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:45,680 Speaker 1: on game day. So I don't know but that's I mean, 2201 01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,360 Speaker 1: that's what we all eyes on. Whoever puts a headset on, well, 2202 01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,760 Speaker 1: they're all gonna have headsets on, I'm telling you right now. 2203 01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:54,080 Speaker 1: Like yeah, like even the dude's just running around getting 2204 01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:56,559 Speaker 1: water and like running cones around, Da've got heads Yeah, 2205 01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:59,080 Speaker 1: it's like you know which which Limo is the President? 2206 01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:06,120 Speaker 1: Not gonna know right? Uh? Nates in Chicago? What's up? Nate? Hey, guys, 2207 01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:09,639 Speaker 1: how we doing good? Good? You know, as a Patriots 2208 01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:11,760 Speaker 1: fan that lives in Chicago. Right when I thought I 2209 01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:17,519 Speaker 1: got rid of nikkil Harry unbelievable, I had a couple 2210 01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:19,400 Speaker 1: of questions about a couple of free agents and just 2211 01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:22,719 Speaker 1: thought I'd ask your guys thoughts, one being a getting 2212 01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:25,479 Speaker 1: some depths on the defensive line. What if you guys 2213 01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:27,960 Speaker 1: had any thoughts and Carl Massif, I know he's not 2214 01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:29,519 Speaker 1: gonna be a player that's gonna you know, you know, 2215 01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:31,919 Speaker 1: ruin any games. It's not you know, really gonna destroy 2216 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,160 Speaker 1: any offensive lines, but just to add depth and have 2217 01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:38,120 Speaker 1: another piece as a rotational player. Another another question I 2218 01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:41,120 Speaker 1: had was about an undrafted player out of stone Hill, 2219 01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:46,679 Speaker 1: Massachusetts who's playing in the Fan Run League, Andrew Jamil 2220 01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:49,680 Speaker 1: as like a quick footed Splott receiver. And I just 2221 01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:51,719 Speaker 1: wondering if you guys had any spots on those two players, 2222 01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:53,720 Speaker 1: and if you think there might be a spot for them. 2223 01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,519 Speaker 1: Are they still doing that fan run league that that 2224 01:47:56,840 --> 01:48:01,040 Speaker 1: they the fans call the plays right or control of football? Yeah? Yeah, 2225 01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:03,600 Speaker 1: I think I report from Mike Greece today saying that 2226 01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:09,880 Speaker 1: they tried him out right. Yeah. I used to really 2227 01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,080 Speaker 1: like Anthony Sherman. Wow, good for him. I don't know 2228 01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:15,000 Speaker 1: what was the first guy they asked about Massive Yeah, 2229 01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:17,240 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean he's been around 2230 01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:19,240 Speaker 1: a while. Yes, I've always thought he was kind of 2231 01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:22,639 Speaker 1: kind of in their prototype size of you know, outside 2232 01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:25,200 Speaker 1: linebacker edge kind of a guy um. And I think 2233 01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:26,920 Speaker 1: that they're light at that position. So I mean I 2234 01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:29,639 Speaker 1: I kind of like, hey, Trey Flowers would make sense, 2235 01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:30,840 Speaker 1: But I just I don't think they got a lot 2236 01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:34,000 Speaker 1: of Speaking of free agents, Sean writes in from Vancouver, 2237 01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:35,920 Speaker 1: what do you think the chances are that the Patriots 2238 01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:39,759 Speaker 1: would bring back the following players Trey Flowers, Nate Solder, 2239 01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:43,680 Speaker 1: or Danny Shelton. Danny Shelton signed somewhere this week, did 2240 01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:47,840 Speaker 1: they yes with Carolinas who we up here too, Um, 2241 01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:51,920 Speaker 1: I could Flowers? Yeah, I mean, I think Solder would 2242 01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:54,200 Speaker 1: be like an injury, but I think that an injury 2243 01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:57,639 Speaker 1: is certainly possible. But I think he's he's probably done. 2244 01:48:57,680 --> 01:48:59,519 Speaker 1: They moved into the right side too, didn't they. Ye, 2245 01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:04,280 Speaker 1: he's been one of slow tackles for I know everyone 2246 01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,920 Speaker 1: loves every union, but I think Trey Flowers is the 2247 01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:09,240 Speaker 1: guy just in terms of, you know, getting one more 2248 01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:12,160 Speaker 1: veteran edge guy who you know probably still has some 2249 01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:15,280 Speaker 1: some football on him. Uh. Tayshaun writes in I'd like 2250 01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:17,200 Speaker 1: to play a game of would you rather we like 2251 01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:21,120 Speaker 1: games on this show? Um? These are purposely over dramatic. 2252 01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:24,640 Speaker 1: He says, would you rather see nikkil Harry lead the 2253 01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:31,360 Speaker 1: league in receiving or the Patriots go oh and seventeen? Yeah? 2254 01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:34,479 Speaker 1: Come on? Would you rather make it to the super 2255 01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:37,519 Speaker 1: Bowl but Mac is a game manager through the process, 2256 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,759 Speaker 1: or miss the playoffs? But Mac has an amazing second 2257 01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:43,960 Speaker 1: year jump and leads the league in QB stats the 2258 01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:47,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Yeah, make the super Bowl. If he's in 2259 01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,639 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, he's he's a pretty damn good game manager. 2260 01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:52,519 Speaker 1: So I'll take that. And then Bill's just flexing on 2261 01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:56,160 Speaker 1: everybody Yeah. Would you rather a high powered offense that 2262 01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:59,439 Speaker 1: scores on every drive, but your defense lets up a 2263 01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:02,760 Speaker 1: score every drive, or a high powered d that only 2264 01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:06,360 Speaker 1: allows field goals but the offense is terrible. I'd probably 2265 01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:10,479 Speaker 1: go the offense. I think, Yeah, that's just paint. If 2266 01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:12,400 Speaker 1: the defense just went lights out and we could not 2267 01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,400 Speaker 1: score to save our lives, there's nothing more infuriating. Yeah, 2268 01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:17,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the state of the league, though. 2269 01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:18,599 Speaker 1: I mean I just I feel like that's you're You're 2270 01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:20,240 Speaker 1: not too far from the truth, Like you just you 2271 01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:22,559 Speaker 1: need those offense. I don't know what defense is like 2272 01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:26,280 Speaker 1: shutting down everybody anymore. Would you rather win the Super 2273 01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:29,960 Speaker 1: Bowl this year but Bill retires, or keep Bill another 2274 01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,360 Speaker 1: seven years but you never get deep in the playoffs. 2275 01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:35,479 Speaker 1: I'll stop it. Super Bowl right now? Yeah? Yeah, Bill 2276 01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:39,519 Speaker 1: on top and then you move on. Yeah. Sure. And 2277 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:42,240 Speaker 1: a silly one he says, would you rather lose both 2278 01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:45,160 Speaker 1: arms but you're a billionaire, or keep both arms but 2279 01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:48,760 Speaker 1: you go bankrupt and lose everything you can always rebuild, ye, 2280 01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:54,360 Speaker 1: keeping the arms? Man some crazy stuff at Boston Dynamic 2281 01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:57,680 Speaker 1: about to say, if I'm a billion yeah, give me 2282 01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:00,160 Speaker 1: a couple of arms. Yeah. So I don't know that's 2283 01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:02,960 Speaker 1: a good question. Maybe not as silly as he thought 2284 01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:07,439 Speaker 1: it was to begin with. But the Super Bowls, let's 2285 01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:11,640 Speaker 1: go to Todd, North Carolina. I hate Todd. Hey, I 2286 01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:14,040 Speaker 1: was listening early on and I really liked your question 2287 01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:15,680 Speaker 1: about who do you think he'll be surprised? And I 2288 01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:18,160 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be our entire linebacking corps. I think 2289 01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:20,360 Speaker 1: we've got some young talents in there that hasn't had 2290 01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:22,320 Speaker 1: a real chance to see the field, and I think 2291 01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:25,280 Speaker 1: that we might get some surprises there, you know, I 2292 01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:28,280 Speaker 1: mean good surprises, not a bad one. Okay, I hope 2293 01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:31,880 Speaker 1: you're right. If you're wrong, we're in trouble. I mean, well, 2294 01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:34,920 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, I'll buy you. I'll buy you guys lunch. There. 2295 01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:38,200 Speaker 1: You go that that you know they have to be 2296 01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:41,240 Speaker 1: better than they were last year, I mean, well, but yeah, 2297 01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:43,720 Speaker 1: it's a whole new lineup. We don't even know what 2298 01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:46,080 Speaker 1: we have. I mean, I mean the play from that, 2299 01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:48,680 Speaker 1: you know that that core has to be better than 2300 01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:50,519 Speaker 1: it was last year. Yeah, but I don't think it's 2301 01:51:50,520 --> 01:51:52,439 Speaker 1: a whole new lineup. I mean, I think Judon and 2302 01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:55,200 Speaker 1: Bentley are are significant pieces, you know, I mean it's 2303 01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:57,240 Speaker 1: not every single guy is new, but I but I 2304 01:51:57,320 --> 01:51:58,760 Speaker 1: think there's I think you do have a good point, 2305 01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:01,519 Speaker 1: and I would just say of that next group of McMillan, 2306 01:52:01,560 --> 01:52:05,000 Speaker 1: of Wilson, of Ouch, of Perkins, of like two of 2307 01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:06,800 Speaker 1: those guys have to be able to play. And I 2308 01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:09,200 Speaker 1: don't really care if josh Ucha is just a third 2309 01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:11,160 Speaker 1: down pass rusher, but if he's able to pick up 2310 01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:14,320 Speaker 1: seven eight sacks and give teams something else to think 2311 01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:16,120 Speaker 1: about other than let's just get you down off the 2312 01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:17,559 Speaker 1: back and make sure we got an eye on bar 2313 01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:20,360 Speaker 1: More up the middle, like they need that complimentary piece. 2314 01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:22,439 Speaker 1: I think the question is who plays on early downs, 2315 01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:24,040 Speaker 1: who's going to stop the run? I don't and again 2316 01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:27,120 Speaker 1: I'm trending away from like really passionately worrying about the 2317 01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:28,920 Speaker 1: run defense. But I do think it's an issue of 2318 01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:31,800 Speaker 1: who's going to step out there on an idiots. I mean, 2319 01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:36,360 Speaker 1: if you play this dollar defense that you were talking about, Evan, Yeah, okay, 2320 01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:38,160 Speaker 1: and you have a good running back, I'm gonna run 2321 01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:40,360 Speaker 1: it down your throat until you stop it, right, you know. 2322 01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:43,080 Speaker 1: But that's what the Patriots to the Chargers right first 2323 01:52:43,160 --> 01:52:45,839 Speaker 1: drive of the game. They go fifteen plays Sony Michelle 2324 01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,360 Speaker 1: right down your throat, James Devlin leading through the whole right, 2325 01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:51,120 Speaker 1: was all she wrote. So forever reaction, there is an 2326 01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:56,559 Speaker 1: equal or better reaction. Well that's you bring that up, Evan. 2327 01:52:57,160 --> 01:53:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm just sorry, Todd. Did you have another question? Yeah? 2328 01:52:59,880 --> 01:53:02,360 Speaker 1: I actually I don't really count Judean as our part 2329 01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,280 Speaker 1: of our linebacker core. He's almost always on the edge, 2330 01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:07,840 Speaker 1: isn't he not? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah, he's got a second 2331 01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:11,720 Speaker 1: level and he's definitely a hand in the dirt linebacker. Yeah, 2332 01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:14,280 Speaker 1: but you know more than that. Yeah, I think it's 2333 01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:18,679 Speaker 1: hard because Van Noyon and how both did inside and outside, 2334 01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:20,360 Speaker 1: so you kind of just count them. I mean, it's 2335 01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:22,400 Speaker 1: certainly more a little bit divide it up. But I 2336 01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:23,800 Speaker 1: wanted to say because you brought that up, and it 2337 01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:25,760 Speaker 1: was a question in the mail back today of I 2338 01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,040 Speaker 1: think like when the Patriots drafted Sony Michelle, it seemed 2339 01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,240 Speaker 1: like the direction they were going was, all these defenses 2340 01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:33,680 Speaker 1: are getting smaller to defend the pass. We're going to 2341 01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:36,200 Speaker 1: run a fullback, We're going to pound it down their throat. 2342 01:53:36,240 --> 01:53:38,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a deep stable of running backs. And 2343 01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:40,080 Speaker 1: the question was, you know, kind of asking me about 2344 01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:41,640 Speaker 1: that of you know, Damian Harris is going to be 2345 01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:43,799 Speaker 1: free age, and why don't you just continue to resign 2346 01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:45,600 Speaker 1: him and try to do this? And I'm like, it 2347 01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:48,000 Speaker 1: sounds great in theory that you would be able to 2348 01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:50,640 Speaker 1: do that, but it hasn't been effective, especially in the 2349 01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:53,000 Speaker 1: most you know, critical games other than plus the sad 2350 01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:56,080 Speaker 1: eighteen playoff run. Once he gets to a second contract, 2351 01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:57,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay him, right and then you know, so, 2352 01:53:58,040 --> 01:53:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't think that's the big 2353 01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:01,479 Speaker 1: part of it, because anyth they've got a stable and 2354 01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:03,639 Speaker 1: unless he was something super special, I don't. I don't 2355 01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:06,400 Speaker 1: see it. But is that the direction they're really trying 2356 01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,519 Speaker 1: to go? And you know, what do you think, like 2357 01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:10,559 Speaker 1: now getting rid of the fullback, does that kind of say, 2358 01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:13,599 Speaker 1: all right, we tried that. We still need a stable 2359 01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:15,400 Speaker 1: of backs, but we're not going to try to be 2360 01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:17,439 Speaker 1: the team that we're going to just out tough everybody 2361 01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:19,439 Speaker 1: because our run game is so good. I think unless 2362 01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:21,920 Speaker 1: you got Derrick Henry, it's hard. It's hard to I think, 2363 01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, I forget which player had said, or it 2364 01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:25,640 Speaker 1: might have been a coach on the team. You know, 2365 01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:27,840 Speaker 1: when you play, when you've got the fullback out there 2366 01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:31,000 Speaker 1: kind of dictates what you're doing, you know, or else 2367 01:54:31,040 --> 01:54:34,200 Speaker 1: he's just a guy, you know out there. So they 2368 01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:36,640 Speaker 1: want to be more versatile on offense. It's like your 2369 01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:38,840 Speaker 1: gut time ongomery a little bit instead of you know, 2370 01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:41,520 Speaker 1: instead of Yaka being out there, maybe you got time ongomery. 2371 01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:44,160 Speaker 1: You're moving him around, yeah, and doing some of that stuff. 2372 01:54:44,280 --> 01:54:46,720 Speaker 1: Barton Poland writes in he said, firstly, I want to 2373 01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:49,720 Speaker 1: say I'm very happy with the Evan news. He was 2374 01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:52,040 Speaker 1: one of my favorite follows on Twitter and hearing him 2375 01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:55,200 Speaker 1: on PEU was awesome. Now my question is it possible 2376 01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:57,920 Speaker 1: that the backup situation may have been one of the 2377 01:54:57,960 --> 01:55:01,040 Speaker 1: factors in when in Brown change sides this season. He's 2378 01:55:01,040 --> 01:55:06,200 Speaker 1: talking about tackles. Harran is very serviceable left tackle, but 2379 01:55:06,280 --> 01:55:09,880 Speaker 1: he's literally unplayable at right tackle. If Brown gets hurt, 2380 01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,440 Speaker 1: he can just slide in at left tackle, and when 2381 01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:15,240 Speaker 1: if Winden gets hurt, Brown can move to right tackle 2382 01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:17,920 Speaker 1: where we know he's comfortable and we don't have to 2383 01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:20,680 Speaker 1: play her on there. Last year he was just plugged 2384 01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:23,600 Speaker 1: on the right side as Winn hasn't really played there. 2385 01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:26,720 Speaker 1: But now with him having the whole season off and 2386 01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:30,000 Speaker 1: with a natural right tackle playing left tackle, we don't 2387 01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,560 Speaker 1: have to put her on on the right side. Of course, 2388 01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:35,440 Speaker 1: it probably wasn't the main reason of the change, but 2389 01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:38,640 Speaker 1: do you think the Haran situation may have had some 2390 01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:42,440 Speaker 1: influence the factor? Certainly. I mean it's a good point 2391 01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:45,560 Speaker 1: about Justin Haran that he played left tackle in college, 2392 01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:48,280 Speaker 1: looks more comfortable playing left tackle, and you talk to 2393 01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:51,400 Speaker 1: offensive lineman about it, and it's they say, here's a pen. 2394 01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:53,840 Speaker 1: Now right with your left hand if you're a right hand, 2395 01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:55,560 Speaker 1: right with your right hand if you're lefty, and see 2396 01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:57,560 Speaker 1: how good you do. It's a little bit like that 2397 01:55:57,680 --> 01:56:01,080 Speaker 1: because everything is backwards right, you're inside hands now outside, 2398 01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:03,920 Speaker 1: your inside foots now outside. So it is a little 2399 01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:07,480 Speaker 1: bit different, certainly. But I think the main factor for 2400 01:56:07,680 --> 01:56:10,920 Speaker 1: moving Trent Brown to the left side is actually Cole Strange. 2401 01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:13,880 Speaker 1: I think they want to have two stable veterans in 2402 01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:17,680 Speaker 1: David Andrews and Trent Brown on either side of Cole Strange. 2403 01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:20,200 Speaker 1: And with Isaiah Wayne, especially the way that he played 2404 01:56:20,240 --> 01:56:22,120 Speaker 1: at times last year and the start that he got 2405 01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:24,880 Speaker 1: out too, and all those types of things, I think 2406 01:56:24,880 --> 01:56:28,160 Speaker 1: that they're looked at the situation with Michael a Wenu, 2407 01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:30,920 Speaker 1: who really didn't take that step that they were kind 2408 01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:33,400 Speaker 1: of expecting last year and end up putting Ted Harrison 2409 01:56:33,440 --> 01:56:35,920 Speaker 1: to the starting lineup. And they want to make this 2410 01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,760 Speaker 1: as comfortable for a guy like Cole Strange as possible 2411 01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:42,600 Speaker 1: to be able to come in and start right away 2412 01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:45,280 Speaker 1: as a rookie. So I think it's a big factor 2413 01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:48,920 Speaker 1: that they put Trent over there knowing that they're they're 2414 01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:52,040 Speaker 1: probably their best two linemen, or David Andrews and Trent Brown, 2415 01:56:52,480 --> 01:56:54,560 Speaker 1: and now you put those two guys on either side 2416 01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:56,400 Speaker 1: of the rookie I really, I really wonder if we 2417 01:56:56,560 --> 01:56:59,320 Speaker 1: can get beat out by somebody, and I don't know who. 2418 01:56:59,720 --> 01:57:02,160 Speaker 1: Trying to light a fire a win's ass. Yeah, well, 2419 01:57:02,240 --> 01:57:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's his last year of his contract. I 2420 01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:05,680 Speaker 1: know they're better be a fire already. But I mean, 2421 01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:08,560 Speaker 1: even talking to Andy Hard a little bit this this offseason, 2422 01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:10,280 Speaker 1: we're both kind of like man Stuper's kind of like 2423 01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:12,680 Speaker 1: got that mold of a big, you know, right tackle 2424 01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:14,160 Speaker 1: type guy. I mean, I mean he hasn't even been 2425 01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,600 Speaker 1: able to get on the field. He's on NFI now, 2426 01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:18,960 Speaker 1: So I my ship might have sailed with that, But 2427 01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:22,560 Speaker 1: I do wonder if Win is susceptible to getting knocked out, 2428 01:57:22,640 --> 01:57:25,280 Speaker 1: especially at right tackle, which is not like a position 2429 01:57:25,320 --> 01:57:28,280 Speaker 1: that you know, is all that like demanding in the grants. 2430 01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:30,520 Speaker 1: You better worry about right tackle now because Von Miller 2431 01:57:30,600 --> 01:57:34,120 Speaker 1: is coming off right the Buffalo for two games, maybe 2432 01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:36,560 Speaker 1: a third in the playoffs, and he's a guy that 2433 01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:39,000 Speaker 1: there are a few guys. They're not many, but there 2434 01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:41,440 Speaker 1: are a few guys that definitely prefer to play over 2435 01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:43,600 Speaker 1: the right tackle and Von is one of them. So 2436 01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,800 Speaker 1: he's going to be right in your kitchen, Isaiah Win, 2437 01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:49,800 Speaker 1: come come late. It was at December first, I think 2438 01:57:49,880 --> 01:57:52,160 Speaker 1: is that first game against Buffalo. But I think it 2439 01:57:52,160 --> 01:57:55,440 Speaker 1: goes back to your point two Mike about the what's 2440 01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:57,480 Speaker 1: the direction of the offense? Right and Cole strange. Is 2441 01:57:57,480 --> 01:58:01,200 Speaker 1: this athletic offensive lineman tested out of the you know, 2442 01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:04,440 Speaker 1: out of the gym at the combine nine nine percentile, 2443 01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, nine point nine raz all that kind of stuff, 2444 01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:09,800 Speaker 1: and you start to think about the direction of the offense, 2445 01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:13,200 Speaker 1: and you were talking about is running the football really 2446 01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:15,120 Speaker 1: the way to go? And I think you look at 2447 01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:17,480 Speaker 1: that playoff game against Buffalo, and that was the first 2448 01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:20,960 Speaker 1: perfect example that I can come to of you are 2449 01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:23,680 Speaker 1: basically in like a model T and Josh Allen's in 2450 01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:26,360 Speaker 1: the Tesla and you're trying to keep up with him 2451 01:58:26,360 --> 01:58:31,280 Speaker 1: in this run first Jacob Johnson fullback style offense and 2452 01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:34,160 Speaker 1: as much as you can come up with the formula 2453 01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:38,040 Speaker 1: where you control the clock and grind out possessions and 2454 01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,000 Speaker 1: ultimately at the end of the day you need to 2455 01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,280 Speaker 1: execute a passing. Yeah, I mean, last year could have 2456 01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:45,960 Speaker 1: all have been about Mac just like let's ease him in, 2457 01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:48,400 Speaker 1: and this year they gotta let him loose. All right, 2458 01:58:48,400 --> 01:58:49,680 Speaker 1: Well that's gonna be it for the show. What do 2459 01:58:49,680 --> 01:58:51,640 Speaker 1: you think, Alex, You think he knows the stuff? I 2460 01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:58,200 Speaker 1: think he does.
