Of course, 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: you know the different street cuts of meat, not when 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: you do it well done, not when you cook it 25 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: well done.

I think I 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: think there's been a clamp down this year. I mean 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: NFL Network Week four, Sunday Night Football, Kansas City, Tampa Bay.

Welldyp on the sideline 35 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: or will he be up in the booth we'll be 36 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: in the game. We don't know. Yeah, we just don't know. 37 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: We don't know. Um So speaking of releasing, well, I 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: beg your pardon, ja Jam Jared Stidham. Jam was traded 39 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: to the Raiders. H reportedly reportedly one. So I think yeah, 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: place Harrow. Yeah, Albert Breer swap a picks basically yea, 41 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots get a six, they get our seventh or something. 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: Story broken by James Stewart. Yeah, on the Sports top 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: out of my show Fred, one of your channels. Yeah. Um, 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: we we talked about it that we said that that 45 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: was a likely possibility that they'd move him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 46 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: that's I think we had a not an argument, but 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: a discussion about the horrior I didn't think was going 48 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: anywhere based on his guaranteed money. Yeah. It just seems 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: funny now looking back at, you know, some of the 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: hype around Stidham realistically thinking he had a chance in 51 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty or even twenty twenty one. But I mean, 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: I think I just wasn't impressed with him the first 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: time we saw him in nineteen and min I just 54 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: started here. But I think that was like my ground 55 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: level of what a rookie quarterback could look like, and 56 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: it didn't look very good. I mean, especially in contrast 57 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: to Brady when he was here. But you know, then 58 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: the weird injury thing in twenty twenty where that that sealed. 59 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: His fate kind of came out and he was like, oh, 60 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: he's going to the hospital. And then last year he 61 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: ended up on the on the pup and was was 62 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: not really even part of it. So never really worked out. 63 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Paul and I were kind of joking upstairs 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: about the various reports over the twenty twenty off season 65 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: coming into twenty twenty about how high the Patriots were 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: on Stidham, and I don't know it did that entire 67 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: off season until Cam Newton came, which was a little 68 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: bit later. If you remember that, it was all into June, 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: not just like who's going to be the Stidham's the man? 70 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: That was the storyline right of the twenty twenty off season, 71 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: And now, you know, Mike and I were talking about it, 72 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: people are like kind of getting snarky. Remember when he 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: was the you know the demand you know, Oh, okay, 74 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: admittedly that was like, you know, like a blanket. No, 75 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: everybody was writing about it, everybody was talking about it, 76 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: and everybody was yelling at this show because even you 77 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: didn't embrace that one Fred, right, everybody was yelling at 78 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: this show for being so negative, right right, like because 79 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: we saw the same thing that you're talking about in 80 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Well, even even when Cam Newton got here, 81 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: Well it's a competition. We were like, no, it's not 82 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: going to be a competition as long as Cam Newton's here, right, 83 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: and then Cam Newton, I mean, let's put it this way. 84 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: Cam Newton played as badly as you can play in 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty and still had the job to start twenty 86 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: twenty one. Right, yeah, right, I'm telling you it was 87 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: the COVID thing that pushed mac Jones ahead. Yeah. I 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: think Bill had just said I had an I can't 89 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: do this anymore. I have to get someone who's reliable. 90 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: When we all could see how much better Mac Jones 91 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: was on a consistent basis. Yeah, when they were days 92 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: when Newton was was okay. Yeah, But to me, the 93 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: best they were was even And I think you know 94 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: that's what it took from mac Jones. It wasn't like 95 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: that with Stidham. It was it was Cam Newton. Cam 96 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: Newton only would stid him right, Yeah, it was the 97 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: the pocket presence was so what stood out to me 98 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: with Mac. That was the difference kind of coming in 99 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: seeing Stidham his first couple of years about just how 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: panicky he'd look, and you know, the window would basically 101 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: or the clock would end, and he just kind of 102 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: throw the ball in the dirt. But Mac always seemed 103 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: like he was a little bit comfortable in the chaos 104 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: in the pocket, and I would agree with that, you know, 105 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: much better pocket. And then but even like that Kansas 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: City game in twenty twenty when Cam got covid and 107 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: then Hoyer got the start, and then you know, and 108 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: then then Stidham got in. But I don't think he 109 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean that Jet scare in twenty nineteen with the 110 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: picks six. In fact, that Stidham never started a game 111 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty to me told you everything you need 112 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: to know what they thought. Yeah, yeah, the season was 113 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: a train wreck at times. Offensively, you know, they couldn't 114 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: move the ball at all, and they just kept trotting 115 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: Cam Newton out there. Yeah, and I tend to think 116 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of a difference it made, 117 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: but I think it's it's kind of an example of 118 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: just how important it is for a rookie and young 119 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: guys to get on the field and just be available 120 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: and stay on the field. And he's never really had that. 121 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: I mean, his rookie year, Yes, but Brady was here 122 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: and then you know, there was just always something kind 123 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: of popping up with him. And I think you see 124 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: that a lot with rookies where they get and then 125 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: they get behind. It's even it's doubled when it's a quarterback, 126 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, but you know we see it with a 127 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: lot of other positions that you know, they lose that 128 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: time in camp and preseason game they can't play, and 129 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: then they just fall behind and they never recover. You know, 130 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: it's just that much worse for a quarterback. And how 131 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: many times have been like a player who might not 132 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: even be that good, but they're just always available and 133 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: they're there and they're you know, working hard and they 134 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: know what to do and maybe they don't do it 135 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: at a super high level, but because they know what 136 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: to do and they're kind of consistent. I mean, there's 137 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: been a lot of those guys over the years. I 138 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: think that are probably frustrating to a lot of Patriots 139 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: Fans were like, why is this guy still out there? 140 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: But he's healthy and he's speaking of hard working overachievers. 141 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: Danny woodhead close to qualifying for the US Open Golf. 142 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: I think he made it through the first part, right, Yeah, 143 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: now he's going to sectionals or something something like that. Yeah, yeah, sorry, 144 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: I just shot the punk sunk a punk sunk sunk 145 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: a putt sunk a punk sunk a putt. Uh. He 146 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: was interesting though. When he came in twenty ten. What 147 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: was that? I mean that was out of nowhere. People 148 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: brought him in and this little guy from the Jets. 149 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: They put him in the pro shop and you know, 150 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: uh selling shirts. You know, people didn't know who he was. 151 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: It was I mean, he was a fan favorite very quickly. 152 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,119 Speaker 1: I was surprised he didn't stick around a little longer 153 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: than he did. I was a little bit surprised when 154 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: he when he left, because I felt like they were 155 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: kind of in that void. I mean, I know they 156 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: has a shelf life on that position. That's why I 157 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: think it's much Yeah, it's much like Slot Receiver. And 158 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: that's what made I think Kevin Fox so impressive and 159 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: uh Troy Brown, because you look at how long those 160 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: guys did it and produced, and it's it's not easy 161 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: to do that because you're you're you're inside and you're 162 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: taking a lot of you're taking a lot of shots. Yeah, 163 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: he was unique though, just I mean he was small, 164 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: but just thick, and yeah, he'd get lost, he'd drown 165 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: those little dump off screen passes, and it just seemed 166 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: like everybody couldn't find him. And then all of a sudden, 167 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: he just kind of he just powered out and go 168 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: flying for you know, twenty yards downfield. They get a 169 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: big game in that Jets game that they with, the 170 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: forty five to three game in twenty ten. I think 171 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: that was one of his one of his better and 172 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: they try to go with a similar game plan in 173 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: the playoff game six weeks later. It didn't go as well. 174 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: He was a big part of the Drive to Nowhere, 175 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: the fourteen play drive that resulted in no points. Yep, 176 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: Eric's not here today. He's um, it's his turn with 177 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Doctor Jellyfinger. He's taken one for the team. He's in 178 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: the squatty party. Yeah, he's taken one for the team today. 179 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: He's got to proceedure tomorrow that he's prepping for today, 180 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: getting focused, Yeah, getting psyched lists. Not like me and you. 181 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: Fred would just come in. Yeah. I guess in Rhode 182 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: Island they do it a little differently. I don't know. 183 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: This is the day of like drinking radioactive fluid or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 184 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: at the time. It all depends on when you're what 185 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: time you have to start it. I would imagine it's 186 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: a little easier being a vegetarian, right, yeah, definitely, No, 187 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, he's probably gonna come back 188 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: all like cocky about it. The doctor said mike colon 189 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: was as clean as anything he's ever seen. There was 190 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: nothing in there, pups, no nothing. So the colon of 191 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: a teenager. You could eat off of my colon because 192 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: because because he's a vegetarian. Yeah, you know, it'd be 193 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: like the doctor said it was. It was particularly clean, right. 194 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: The kale just it absorbs all. You know. He gave 195 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: me his number. I's trying to sell pictures of my 196 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: colon on the internet. So Eric's not going to be 197 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: here today. Um what else have we got anything? We'll 198 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: just well, Mike and I have been rookie Minicamp this weekend. Yeah, 199 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: and Mike and I have dovetails. Nicely. We've been putting 200 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: up our profiles one by one. Um, you know, good timing. 201 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: As Christopher Eira pointed out our webmaster, you know, I 202 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: just put the Bailey's Appy one up yesterday and they 203 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: make the Stidma move today. So Mike was kind enough 204 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: to link to that story on his report of the 205 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: Stidham trade, so you know, you can learn a little 206 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: bit about Zappy. Obviously, we talked a lot about the draft. 207 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: Incredible production in his one year at the FBS level 208 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: that Western Kentucky, you know, throwing for six thousand yards 209 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: and sixty two touchdowns. Those are records. By the way, 210 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: he's going to get an opportunity to come in and 211 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: earn the third quarterback spot, or you know, perhaps if 212 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: if he's not ready for that, maybe they try to 213 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: squeeze him on the practice squad or something like that. 214 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: But the one commonality with the three players that I 215 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: did it was Kevin Harris, Pierre Strong, and Bailey Zappy, 216 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: three players whose coaches were really really high on the players. 217 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't always happen. It usually does, but 218 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: these three were particularly high on their three players. Yeah, 219 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: and now I'll just to add on to that good 220 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: video going around as Zappy getting the call for his 221 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: I think he's the on, Heybrookie, welcome to the NFL 222 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: this year, uh, talking to his agent. I mean, you 223 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: gotta love that stuff of these guys with their families around, 224 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: and you know, I think he said something like a 225 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: Patriots not that're not gonna take me here. And then 226 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, the phone rings. Yeah, 227 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: it's all that's real. It's really cool. And then you know, 228 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: that dovetails into what I wrote about Sam Roberts, who 229 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: his video went viral as well when he got drafted 230 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: by the Patriots, all guys and Patriots jerseys and talking 231 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: to his college coach, he said, yeah, it's just, you know, 232 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: bizarre that he got drafted by the Patriots. He used 233 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: to come in on Sundays. He said, you know, we 234 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: just kind of have open people want to come in 235 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: and study film and uh and Sam would come in 236 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: wearing his Patriots jersey on Sundays. You know, how why 237 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: are you a Patriots family in Missouri? Like a lot 238 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: of Chiefs fans and stuff. And I guess at one 239 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: point the Patriots beat the Chiefs and that's why he 240 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: picked them. But another guy, I mean, yeah, of course 241 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: the coach loves them. But one god, what's the name 242 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: of the award? Cliff Harris Award for uh Small School 243 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year has all the size. You know, 244 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna need some technique. Everybody's gonna be as 245 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: strong and big as you now, but um, you know, 246 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: it just reminds me in his game of Barmore, the 247 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: small School just I know they're different levels, but the 248 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: way he gets off the ball, the kind of violence 249 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: and urgency that he plays with right off the snap. 250 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: So um, I think it'll be somebody to watch in 251 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: camp see if he's able to do it against NFL 252 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: defensive lineman. I mean he's built like a you know, 253 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: like like a truck. I mean, that's exactly what you'd 254 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: want coming off the bus, sou And then yeah, I'm 255 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: jumping into Marcus Jones and got some quotes from his 256 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: head coach Dana Holgersson at Houston. So yeah, working through it. 257 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: Going back to Zappi, his thing is he's only like 258 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: six feet tall. Besides the fact that he's small, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 259 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: be interesting. It'll give him more opportunity. I mean I 260 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: wonder with the three days in camp and not really 261 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: quarterback competition. I mean last year it was going in 262 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: how are they going to divide up Cam and mac 263 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Hoyer and stid him almost after thoughts into that, and 264 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: you know, but now it's it's a little bit more set, 265 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: you know what you have in Hoyer. Yeah, so we'll 266 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: probably get a good chance. I wonder what, Yeah, I 267 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: wonder what would look like if I could speak? Um, 268 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: do they give Hoyer, you know, less because quote unquote 269 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: doesn't need them or is Zappy strictly the guy who's 270 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: doing the opportunity stuff at the under practice learning with 271 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: the other rookies and you know, young players. I wonder 272 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: how they'll I don't know, you know, so as as 273 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned, unbelievable production, but against lesser competition. But you 274 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: just I would be curious if I was the coaches, 275 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: all right, early on, you know, whether it's spring or 276 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: early on in camp, Let's get him, you know, see 277 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: how he manages, you know, thrown through the trees, you know, 278 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: get get a rush, get the tennis rackets up there, 279 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: you know. Um, let's see what he can do against bigger, 280 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: faster people. Yeah, you know, I mean it's a great 281 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: comparison of just you know how Mac looked in the 282 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: pocket last year. Because he's not a big guy either. 283 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: I mean he's probably six two, maybe six, maybe almost 284 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: six three, But I think it's a it's a good point. Again. 285 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: I watched a bunch of his highlights in film and stuff, 286 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, after they drafted him, and there's a lot 287 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: of wide open throw is where guys are just streaking 288 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: down the field, you know, and he seemed to have 289 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: just a full grasp of the offense, and you know, 290 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: going against teams like Army and that were just overmatched 291 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: by what they were doing. And so we'll see how 292 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: how it translate. I think the size is a big thing. 293 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: But you know, if he if he has that kind 294 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: of pocket presence and is able to understand what the 295 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: Patriots are trying to do in a similar way and 296 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: get the ball out quick, then then maybe I mean, 297 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, Drew Brees is what six one at tops hops, 298 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, but he was just uncanny about knowing where 299 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: guys were gonna be and his and he didn't have 300 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: the strongest arm, but his accuracy was was right there. 301 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: The timing was unbelieving, anticipation, like just seemed to throw. 302 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: You gotta have that if you're gonna be six feet tall. Yeah, 303 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, well, I mean, like we said, he'll 304 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: probably get a lot of good chances and yeah, I, 305 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: like Paul said, I think in two with the joint practices, 306 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: because that's what what I really enjoyed with Mac where 307 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: it was, you know, can he push it down the field? 308 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: I wonder if you'll see much of him in those 309 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: But it is an interesting thing that Look, I'm not 310 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: going to sit here and say, oh my god, what 311 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: are they doing, you know, trading a third string quarterback, 312 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: But I do think it's interesting that they decided, just 313 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: by drafting a kid before you even really get him 314 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: into your building and get a chance to see him 315 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: operate for I don't know a month, you make this 316 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: move because I am a little skeptical of the size 317 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: coupled with sort of the lack of athleticism. He's not 318 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: a runner, He's he's a pocket passer, and he played 319 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: in a very quarterback friendly system that has been extremely 320 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: successful at the college level and really not in the pros. Now, 321 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: maybe some of those things are changing with the way 322 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: the NFL is changing. You know, some of these guys now, yeah, 323 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: maybe have a better opportunity to succeed. But you know, 324 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: it's one thing if you're you're six feet and you're 325 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson or you know, Kyler Murray. This guy's not 326 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: like that, right, This guy's more Mac Joe. Yeah, only 327 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: a couple inches shorter and not really not really a 328 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: threat to get out of the pocket and make a 329 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: lot of plays. So I do have some some you know, 330 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: curiosity is to how that translates. But the fact that 331 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: they didn't really care and they just said, well, we'll go. 332 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: I wonder if you know, you might see two quarterbacks again, 333 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: like which I think is Belichick's preference. Yeah, with roster makeup, right, 334 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: and I'd be curious to see how that all unfolds. Yeah, 335 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: all right, Eight five five five hundred is the eight 336 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: ticket hutline a web radio at Patriots dot com is 337 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: the email address as we start off the show again. 338 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Today is schedule released day. NFL Network will have the 339 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: big show at eight o'clock. But you know, over the 340 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: course of the day, I think they're going to allow 341 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: teams to announce their home openers, so that includes the 342 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: Patriots of course. So later on today you'll probably hear 343 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: what the home opener is for the Patriots, and then 344 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: if if you're a team that isn't starting at home, 345 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: you'll also know maybe one or two other games you know, yeah, 346 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: so the first two weeks. Yeah, well, and I'm not 347 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: going to fall into that. We'll find out who the 348 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: opener is, even if it's on the road, right because 349 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: I learned, Yeah, don't don't say that. Don't say it. Yeah, yeah, 350 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's been there's been like various reports 351 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: that have been up and then down and no that's wrong. 352 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: So I don't I mean I do want to know more, 353 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: just for like, what's the schedule going to be, like 354 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: baby Paul, Like what are the late games? How where 355 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: are the short turnarounds? But um, I want to look 356 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: where those Buffalo games are? Those Buffalo Miami games, those 357 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: are the ones I think to uh yeah, the Circle 358 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: absolutely aren't, aren't you. That's the game that's your measuring stick, right? 359 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: Those are the big boys now like for twenty years, 360 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: everybody in the AC's is you know, our measuring stick 361 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: is the New England Patriots. Now it's the Buffalo Bills. 362 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: Really would you really have a preference of when you're 363 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: looking at your schedule. I mean I think you consider 364 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: your team as all right, are we a new team? 365 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: Are we going to be is there gonna be more gelling? 366 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: Or are we kind of a veteran team. I don't know. 367 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: I just wonder how football looks at it. Do they? 368 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I know that they're like, we don't care. 369 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: Just tell us what's the schedule is, we'll put it together. 370 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: But you know, if you're really trying to maximize your 371 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: opportunities to get to the playoffs, do you have a 372 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: preference of I'd love to get just get my division 373 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: games out of the way early, and you know, kind 374 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: of see what that is or you know, get or get. 375 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: Like I always look at it a little bit like this, 376 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: where I'd love to get the NFC games out of 377 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: the way early because I think those are you're really 378 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: a little sloppy early in the season. Those games aren't 379 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: going to affect you as much. Down I would always 380 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: assume that I'd I'd like to have opportunities at the 381 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: end of the season to make up for past mistakes. 382 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: So I want to spread out my divisional games as 383 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: much as possible so I can get a second look 384 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: at them when hopefully I'm a little better. Yeah, if 385 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: I'm playing bad at the end of the season doesn't matter, 386 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, But if I'm playing better in the season 387 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: and I sucked early. I want to have a second chance, 388 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: you know. It was kind of That's the way I 389 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: look at it was kind of bizarre last year where 390 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: they had Miami book ending the season, then you had 391 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: like the Jets like twice within three or four weeks, 392 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: and then the Bills also like twice within what three 393 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: weeks four weeks? I mean, it was kind of strange. 394 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: It was strange that. That's the only part, Like I 395 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: don't really I don't have a huge preference, like I'm 396 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: not a big oh this, you know, you need to 397 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: do this or that. The only thing I would say, 398 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't really like the Buffalo situation from last year. 399 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I don't like Division two division games and you know, 400 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: both in the last like five or six weeks in 401 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: the season like that. Yeah, I don't I don't really 402 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: get that. What about division games on Thursday night as 403 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: that I don't like that. I don't like that is 404 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: that feels like those games are really important and you 405 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: might be coming into it with I mean, I do 406 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: like that you know the team, so it's not like 407 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: you're playing you know, the Vikings or some of the 408 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: Bears on a short week or something like that. But 409 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: I just think those games are so important and to 410 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: put them Thursday night when you might be at half 411 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: power okay with someone someone is going to be at 412 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: a gross disadvantage in the division game to travel too. Yeah, 413 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean like the road team or like you said, 414 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: like maybe someone that's a little banged up. That's a 415 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: big game. Like the division games are the most important games. 416 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: Bill says that all the time, right, the first priority 417 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: is the division. So I don't. I agree with you. 418 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: And I know they do that once in a while 419 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: because they're trying to help the teams. You know, there's 420 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: less preparation ostensibly that goes into the division games because 421 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: you know them so well. I agree with you, Mike, 422 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: I would rather not have a division game on a 423 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: Thursday night. Yeah. All right, let's get to the phone 424 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: schedule talk. Let's get to the phones and emails. UM, 425 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: start off with the A stick and hut line. AJ's 426 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: in Illinois. What's up? AJ? Hey, guys, how's it going? Good? Good? Um? 427 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: First about the student trade, I personally am a fan 428 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: of it. UM student was kind of that bridge quarterback 429 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: for a while after Brady before Jones came in, and 430 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm glad he never played a snap that was meaningful. 431 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate that he went over to Vegas. Good for him. 432 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: He needs a job. Good for him. The team dynamic 433 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: is kind of molding well within the quarterback round, I think, 434 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: especially with this new kid coming in who very similar 435 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: to Jones. But the part that confuses me, that is 436 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: pun intended strange to me is the offensive line. There's 437 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: been a lot of change this passed off season, and 438 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: how do you see that solidifying after the first four weeks? 439 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: And I'll take your answer off the phone. All right, thanks. 440 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 1: I mean, well, three out of the five aren't changing 441 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: in terms of starters. It's Trent Brown when and then 442 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: Andrew's in the middle, you're assuming Cole Strange, So that's 443 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: that's a big change. And then if on when you 444 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: was the other guard, that's not that big a change. Yeah, 445 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think that's major change. I think he's right. 446 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, well, yeah, you're changing the two guards, 447 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: you're changing you know, forty percent of your offensive line 448 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: is going to be different. Yeah, but I don't know 449 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: the guards. But I agree, And I was just about 450 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: to say, I don't really understand what the like, what 451 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: is the big question? Like we know that the quarterback 452 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: room is in good shape because we got rid of 453 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: Stidham somehow. But we don't have any idea what's good? 454 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: I think I think I have. I have a guess 455 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: that you're right. Strange is going to play one guard 456 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: and the one he's gonna play the other? Right, what 457 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: what's There's no difference there? Like what's Yeah? I mean 458 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: I think that they're not as good as the players 459 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: that left. But I think what he meant. I don't 460 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: want to speak for him, but I think what he's 461 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: saying about the quarterback room is this kid is in 462 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: terms of style more like Max. So you know, then 463 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: who is what is Stidham style? Like Perios freak out 464 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: and run out of the pocket? Hold on being told 465 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: that that trade is not official? Yeah, you better watch it. No, 466 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't think there's much difference between 467 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: the styles. I think Stidham can move, probably a little 468 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: bit better than Mac Jones, but I don't think that's 469 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: what his game is. Yeah, and I think his game 470 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: is as a pocket passer. Yeah. I don't think there's 471 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: a huge stylistic I agree with Mike. I don't think 472 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: he's that good. Zappy's like a jerk in the quarterback 473 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: Well I have yeah, I have no idea and ideas 474 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: and then talking to his offensive coordinator and that's not 475 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: the kid. I mean, he's yeah, he's all accounts. He 476 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: seems to be a really good kid, good kid, and 477 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: I think he will fit. And I just I don't 478 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: have any more or less concerns about the offense. The 479 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: offensive line has some concerns because you lost two starters. Yeah, 480 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: like we've known that for you know, two months. Yeah, 481 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: a couple of things. I mean Stidham, I think this 482 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: probably speaks to the kind of player was like, I 483 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: don't know, just average quarterback. Like there wasn't like you 484 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: always want to you draft a quarterback, you look for like, well, 485 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: how can we put him in a bar that will 486 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: explain him? Is he athletic? Is he like a Lamar Jackson? 487 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: He can't really he needs to work on his throw. 488 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: Is he a smart guy who gets the ball out? 489 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,719 Speaker 1: Can't really run? You know, always Mac Joe stid him. 490 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: I never felt like there was It was just I 491 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: don't know, he's he can run? Okay, He had no 492 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: KA career. He was supposed to be a lot better 493 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: than that, though, and never like as a college recruit, 494 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: he was supposed to be spread. But and then I 495 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: think the transition on the defense and the offensive line 496 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: is just you know, I mean, I think Shack Mason 497 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: was such a big part of kind of their personality 498 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: with his you know, he wasn't the biggest guy, but 499 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: real mobile and able to get out in front. I 500 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: think if on when you goes into that, he's a 501 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: little bit less mobile, but maybe a little bit bigger, 502 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit stronger. I think the hope with 503 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: Cold Strange though, is that, you know, you can take 504 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: the kind of athleticism that Shack Mason had and get 505 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: that to Ted Carriss. So I don't think was the 506 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: most athletic guy, but was savvy and tough and able 507 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: to do it. So I think there will be a 508 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: little bit of a transition. But I mean I think 509 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: he got to feel at least a little bit positive 510 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: out on when you Trent Brown, those two big tough 511 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: guys on the right side and then Strange and win 512 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: if they're able to you know, live up to expectations 513 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: being athletic and able to you know, do some of 514 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: the stuff that they did with Shack. What was Trent 515 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: Brown drafted. When he was originally drafted, he was low. 516 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: Oh he was low. I okay, are you looking, Paul. 517 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm gonna I'm gonna look, but uh yeah, 518 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: I feel like he was. He was surprising for his size. 519 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: UM hope please sor right. UM, got a lot of 520 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: emails coming in, UM, A lot of reaction to Tuesday 521 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: show with the movies and the hot dogs and the steak. 522 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: But I want to keep it seventh round. Oh really, 523 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Trent Brown was a seventh round pick. Ye, same for him. 524 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: That is something, But I want to keep it to 525 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: UM football at least for now. UM. So let me 526 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: go through some of these, um Andre from New Jersey, 527 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: just to bring back your conversation on Tuesday. I just 528 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: don't get here. I say football and he starts out 529 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: with steak. I just don't get people that eat a 530 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: well done steak. It tastes like rubber and absolutely no flavor. 531 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: When my parents go to a restaurant in order a 532 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: steak well done, I shake my head in disappointment. Mom, Dad, 533 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: get it right. It's a medium rare. But here's his 534 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: predictions for the upcoming season. One. The Patriots split with 535 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: the Bills in some way somehow win the division. Okay, 536 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: that would be huge because we've got that billboard ready 537 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: to go. It didn't take long. Remember we had that 538 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: last year after the Patriots had ruined the Bills. I 539 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: think we got to get rid of billboards here too. 540 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: The Patriots will be the top two seed in the conference. 541 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: Holy crap, what is this His predictions? Three mac Jones 542 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: throws forty three and twenty yards, thirty touchdowns and ten picks. 543 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: That's the first one that I think that has a chance. 544 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: And on the defensive side of the field, ball Moore 545 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: dugger in, one of the linebackers will be all pro. 546 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: I go one for four on giving you a more 547 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: than two percent chance. Yeah, that's that's how unlikely things. 548 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: Those are optimistic predictions real quick, just because we were 549 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: just talking about the Trent Brown thing. Yeah, so he 550 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: was a seventh round pick. This was off NFL dot 551 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: Com in his draft profile from Lance zero Line zero 552 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: line um. Brown has the pure size to block out 553 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: the sun, and unlike some players of his bulk, he 554 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: knows how to use it. He can plow holes as 555 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: a run blocker, but can only play right guard in 556 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: power schemes. His lack of playing experience at conditioning concerns 557 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: could hurt his draft stock, So a side of penciling 558 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: him as a guard nailed it. Yeah, absolutely nailed it. Yeah, 559 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: and that's why he was a seventh round pick. My 560 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: guess is he didn't play a lot at Florida, much 561 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: like he doesn't play a lot in the NFL. Yeah, 562 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: and he has conditioning concerns. Yeah, Bill and DC. Since 563 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: it seems like Matt Patricia is now the candidate to 564 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: be calling plays again, why is that? Did he ye yesterday? 565 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: This season? I had a question about how that works. 566 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: How much a play calling is based on what the 567 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: computer software spits out based on factors like down a distance, field, position, 568 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: opposing defense, et cetera. And how much is a spur 569 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: of the moment gut feeling by the coach calling the plays. 570 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: I guess what I'm asking is how much will we 571 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: depend on Patricia's intellect and how much will be him 572 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: going by what the stats say is the right call? 573 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: I mean a lot. I think that they have that 574 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: playboard where you know, they have the plays they like 575 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: by situation, But I think it's up to the you know, 576 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator to you know, not only know what right 577 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: played a call, but to you know, to sequence plays 578 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: and to string things together so that they work in union. 579 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: And that's been one of the big questions I have 580 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: of having a new offensive coordinator being able to you know, 581 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: do those kind of things. And I should probably just say, 582 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: like Mike Reece yesterday, it's kind of strange how we 583 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: said it too, was like it was like, you know, 584 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: the voice you might hear at Patriots practice would be 585 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: Matt Both Yeah, Mit, Patricia and Joe Judge as the 586 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: right as the co offensive coordinators. So and then he said, 587 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: don't be surprised if Patricia takes a leading role. Okay, 588 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: but like based on everything he said, it was two 589 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: guys talking yet yeah, the OTAs. But I will say, 590 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: like calling plays, calling plays early in a game is 591 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: different than calling plays late night when they're scripted and 592 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: you probably have a site that you go into the 593 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: game you know you want to get going. And then, 594 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: as as Belichick likes to say, the game declares itself 595 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: and now you know what we're gonna need to do. 596 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna need to run the ball almost every down, 597 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: Like if you're in Buffalo or you know how many 598 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: pass plays did they even go into that game with. 599 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much they knew ahead 600 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: of time, but it's one of the big things. And 601 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, as much as these guys are very experienced coaches, 602 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: I think that there is definitely an art form to three. 603 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: And I don't know in the right moment to spring 604 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: that thing on him like that kind of stuff. Yeah, 605 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what the percentage would be to answer 606 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: his specific question, but I would say that every single 607 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: time team has all of the computer data available, so 608 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: they go into a game with these players will work 609 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: against these defenses in these situations. Every team does that. 610 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: The play callers that separate themselves are the ones that 611 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: have the field. Yeah, and I don't know that might 612 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: only be five players a game. They see the matchups. 613 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: You know, we're we're really beating there, you know, you know, 614 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: left end or whatever you know, or like, you know, 615 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: it's a key third, it's a key third down in 616 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and all of the data says they're 617 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: going to be in this defense and on third and seven, 618 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: and we need to pick it up and this is 619 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: the right call. But something tells Josh McDaniels. We're going 620 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: to do something different than that, and the ones that 621 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: can do that successfully are the ones that are good 622 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, I mean it's impossible to put a 623 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: number on it, especially when you're not privy to what 624 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: went into every play call. But I would have to 625 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: think that you guys are exactly right. There's a feel 626 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: to it in that you can't really define. It's a 627 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: gut thing that you venture away from the chart at 628 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: some point because you see something or sent something. Yeah, 629 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: it's a lot on that, Patricia. I mean, it's a 630 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: lot on a guy who's never called a play before, period. 631 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: Like I think it's a recipe for disaster. Yeah. I 632 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: still think the tight Ends coach is eventually going to 633 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: be your play caller. I think that would make people 634 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: feel better if he's involved somehow. But the signs are 635 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: pointing towards I mean, two x head coaches on the surface, 636 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: all three it's the same because Nick Kayley's never done anything. 637 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: But but you'd have some I do agree with with 638 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: agreeing here identifying a young guy right as opposed to 639 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: a failed head coach who right, right, wrong or indifferent. 640 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: We don't really have a lot of faith in right, 641 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: and who hasn't been hasn't been a real offensive coach either. 642 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: But wouldn't you think that if you ask most Patriots 643 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: fans their confidence level, and Joe Judge or Matt Patricia 644 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: can't be very high. Well, yeah, they're looking at their 645 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: record as a head coach, right, Well, and I would 646 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: say that it looked at what they did here too, 647 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: Like I think Joe Judge was an adequate special teams coach, 648 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: but Matt Patricia was not very successful as a defensive coordinator. 649 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: Despite having one of the best calls in Super Bowl history. 650 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: I knew it was coming. Wow. Like their defense, you 651 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: know what's the last impression of their defense was passive, 652 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: couldn't get off the field on third down, gave up 653 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: forty in the Super Bowl. The next year, you won 654 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because your defense completely went to a 655 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: different aggressive level under Brian Flores. Yeah, like that was 656 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: a major part of it. Now, I know what Tom Brady, absolutely, 657 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: but Tom Brady was there the year before too. They 658 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: were scoring all those points when Patricia was a defensive 659 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: coordinator and it wasn't enough. Yeah, I can't lie, Paul. 660 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent there. I was one of those 661 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: people who was excited about what Flores did to the defense, 662 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: how it looked being a defense guy too. It just 663 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: felt like Patricia plays the odds. He kind of plays 664 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: the odds. He doesn't get aggressive. And I think that 665 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: I connected that somewhat to Belichick too. I mean, I 666 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: think Belichick, I think in his heart he likes to 667 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: play the odds a little bit more than be aggressive too. 668 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: But I just have to connect it to like you said, 669 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: I mean, regardless of how you feel about coaches, like, 670 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: none of them have done this. None of them, I 671 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: mean both of them. I know they've been around the 672 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: game and they they you know, are well versed in 673 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: what goes into it. But still, I mean, I would 674 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: feel if you told me Joe Judge was going to 675 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: be the special team's coach, well, all right, if you 676 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: don't mean Mattress coming back to be the defensive corner. 677 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: Don't love it. But I know what he's doing and 678 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: and and it's going to be competent. And I think 679 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: you're just putting a huge question mark of you know, 680 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: and and and again tie it back to what's the 681 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: most important thing for this football team right now? Mac 682 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: Jones and developing him and putting guys around him to 683 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: be successful and putting together an offense that can compete, 684 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, with some really really good offenses. Like I 685 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: agree with Mike. Sorry, yeah, I know. Wow, I'll disagree 686 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. Eric. I still say that their brief 687 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: experience as head coaches will help them. I mean agree. 688 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: I don't think it can hurt. Yeah, yeah, because then 689 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: they were we know that they were overseeing it, they 690 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: had input into how it was going. But I you know, 691 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: just to go back to the original point of it's 692 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: another thing to be there with the play card in 693 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: your hand and you've you know, I know they both 694 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: called plays in the NFL before, but you know, is 695 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: it is it going to be able to take take 696 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: a step forward? And how different does it look from 697 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: wonder like I wonder what the players think now, Like 698 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,240 Speaker 1: guys like you know mccordy that that have been around. 699 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: It'll be fine, yeah, but what if you're just like 700 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: some random player and you're like that guy that I 701 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: saw it like I don't know Ma Patricia from when 702 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: he was here. I only know what I saw on TV, 703 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: right or Joe Judge running quarterback sneaks on on third 704 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 1: and seven. And there's also just a level of trust 705 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: with you know, with Mac and Josh McDaniels last year 706 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: where you know, you know, Josh McDaniels has seen everything 707 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: there is to see as an offensive coordinator and had 708 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: to adjust in every kind of way you can imagine, 709 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: had to do it with the greatest quarterback all time. 710 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: But still like there's a level of um, you know, 711 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: respect there that you know he's been in there and 712 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: he know he's done it before. And you know, I'm 713 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: the same thing like I know Mac, I'm sure you 714 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: know knows who Matt Patrician, Joe Judge arm respects them, 715 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: but does it ring the same way in his ears 716 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: when they tell him, well, this is what's going to happen, 717 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: And you're like, Okay, you know, but I think they're 718 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to earn that trust. And you know for 719 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: for somebody like Mac too, I mean you're building up 720 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: starting over a little bit in some ways. I think 721 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: Keith and Connecticut quick over under on how many games 722 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: you think some of the current rookies will end up 723 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: as a healthy scratch for the sake of the game operators, 724 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: though it would all would be available to play eighteen games, 725 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: Cole Strange one and a hey, healthy healthy scratches under under, 726 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: Tae Kwon Thornton four and a hey, I'll take the 727 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: under on that one too. Really, I don't think he'll 728 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: be a healthy scratch more than four and a half time. 729 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: I might go over on that one. But five six 730 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 1: games I'm really not happy then. Yeah. Uh, Marcus Jones 731 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: five and a Hay under under, I think he's he's 732 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: every game. Jack Jones seven and a Hay, I go over. 733 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: That's where it gets tougher. I'll say over Pierre Strong 734 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: nine and a Hay under under. I'll take the over 735 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: on that. Bailey's happy sixteen and a Hay. I will 736 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: take the over, and the rest of the drafted players 737 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: sixty games, okay, whatever, Yeah, totally with Freddy said on 738 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: the well done steak situation. Should I think anyone with 739 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: any taste in their mouth, Oh, that's certainly my preference. 740 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,959 Speaker 1: I just don't hate people who it's a waste of life, 741 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: like it the way they want it. It's a waste 742 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: of I would take kinds uh Stubert and Robert's that trio. 743 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: I think one of them will emerge into some kind 744 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: of role bigger than we're kind of expected, kind of 745 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: like on when you did and when you I thought 746 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: was kind of a right off guy. Then you saw 747 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: him play, and I think there are guys like that, 748 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: especially along the offensive line. I could see I would 749 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: go hid somebody like the offensive line. I agree with you. 750 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: One of those guys could replace a like a Just 751 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: or a Haran totally. They might think those guys are better, ye, 752 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan writes in Hey guys and Mike, he says, wow, 753 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: now Mike playing the artic role. Yeah, you don't want 754 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: that role here. I just want to pay my final 755 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: respects to the Stidham era under Belichick. Who were the 756 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 1: best and worst backups? How does Stidham compare to Rohan, Davy, 757 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell. I feel like those are the bottom three. 758 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 1: If you had to win a game, counting out Castle 759 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: and Jimmy g who would you go with Testa Verdi? Huh? 760 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: If you had to win a game, who would you 761 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: go with other than Castle? About Damon Hewart, m all 762 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: he did was win games right when he's a professional. 763 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 1: He was flight five and zero when when any any 764 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: for the Patriots look up his record as a starting 765 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: quarterback as he played for the Patriots. No, that's what 766 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: I was asking. I don't even remember playing a game 767 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: for the Patriots. All I remember he lost his job. U. No, 768 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: but he went from back up to third when Brady 769 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: beat him up starter in the NFL. I think he's 770 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: got a good record. Oh, I'm not gonna doubt you 771 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: on that, because I have no idea that Jacobe Brossett. Um, 772 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: I think the was Kevin O'Connell the backup or was 773 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,919 Speaker 1: he third string? Um? I think he was third string. 774 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was it was him Castle Brady, and 775 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: then he backed up. Well maybe he backed up Castle 776 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: in O eight. Maybe I think he might have been 777 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: the backup. I think that was Matt. I think that 778 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: was Matt Goodierrez. Oh that's a good one too. The goot. Yeah, 779 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: we all thought he was the thing for a little bit. Really, no, 780 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: we didn't, just for a second, just for a second. 781 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: It seems funny in hindsight when you had Brady and 782 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: your thought, like guys were, yeah, it's gonna be a 783 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: long time. I don't know who's bad though, it's hard 784 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: to say. Then really got in. I mean Rohan Davy, 785 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: he had a terrible look, Damon here was fifteen and 786 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: twelve as a staughter, not bad, No when winning quarterback? 787 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: Did he ever start a game as a Patriot? No? 788 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: I did. Never. He played in four games as a Patriot. Okay, 789 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: Doug Flutie, Who would I want to play quarterback other 790 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: than Castle or Garoppolo? It's probably perset. I think. I 791 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: think you're right, but I don't think. I don't think 792 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: much of any of them. Yeah, I think you know, 793 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: Testa Verdie's not a bad one, you know. See I'm 794 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: counting Testa Verdie like when he was here, yeah, held 795 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: forty five years right, yeah, like in his career, sure 796 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: he would be the what pletza would be there the 797 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: answer everything? Right, he was a backup, But I don't 798 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: count that. Yeah, dare you forget about your boy? But 799 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm trying to think of like Rohan 800 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: Davy was a good one that the emailer brought up, 801 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell those times, But I guess the best backup 802 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: was Garoppolo, right, Ryan Mallett, Like, I don't want any 803 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: of those guys playing foot me. Yeah, look out, Zach Robinson. 804 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: He could cover a kickoff. What was what was the 805 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 1: kid's name for Denny. You get me? I do. Alex 806 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 1: in Alabama has a trivia question question. How many AFC 807 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: teams have the Patriots never played against in the playoffs 808 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: and which teams are they playoff teams they've never played 809 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,800 Speaker 1: against the playoffs? See all time? All time? Cleveland, Cleveland. 810 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:34,959 Speaker 1: Didn't they play Cleveland? Yeah? They Cincinnati, there's one played 811 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: the Jets played Miami, Pittsburgh, Ravens, Browns, Jeeves Challengers. Yeah, 812 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: I think Cincinnatis. Cincinnati. Cincinnati is the lone team that 813 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: they haven't faced in the playoffs. They'll be here this year. 814 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 1: We'll find out. Joe Burrow.

Finally, I just have to read this 828 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: one because it's not football, but I can making fun 829 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: of me Joel and san Antonio joy listening to the show. 830 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: It's always entertaining, especially in the off season, so that 831 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: dude that ripped y'all the other day doesn't really matter. 832 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: We stand by y'all and the third best rated podcasts 833 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: in the area. However, anyhow, staying a little longer with offseason. 834 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 1: In TV movie talk, I took Fred's advice that time 835 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: he talked about that Ryan Gosling movie Drive. It was 836 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: pretty mad, to be honest, So when I heard him 837 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: recommend Severance, I just couldn't wait. Severance is the most 838 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: boring slow show I've ever seen. Honestly, I must have 839 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 1: fallen asleep at least twice during each episode. I found 840 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 1: myself having to rewind over and over to catch up 841 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: what I missed. That being said, after the snooze fest 842 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: that was that show, of course, I can't wait for 843 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: season two to drop. Keep up the awesome job, which 844 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: isn't it didn't like any severance, got poo poo the 845 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: other night. We haven't about this, wait, I got shot down. 846 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: I might check it out though. Oh it's sci fi. Um, 847 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: it's kind of. I don't know if you would call 848 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: it sci fi. Thanks for that heads up there, Mike. 849 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 1: You wouldn't like it, No, I agree. I don't take 850 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: that as a shot. By the way, yeah, you wouldn't like. 851 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: It's not my thing. He knows what he likes and 852 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't like it, right, much like someone who likes 853 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 1: well done steak. I don't criticize as people who like 854 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: like Matt Morrell, who like the sci fi and the 855 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:09,399 Speaker 1: comic book. That's just not my thing. Okay, to each 856 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: his own. Um. I did want to bring up the 857 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: We were talking about the the third sequel being better 858 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: than the second sequel, you know, or whatever is that, 859 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: or the sequel being better than the original or whatever, um, 860 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and someone wrote in a James 861 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: Bond thing, and I don't think that claws, yeah, because 862 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: they kind of start over each they're not sequels, right, 863 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: they're not sequels, tonnage too many different James Bonds. What's 864 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,479 Speaker 1: the second like, yeah, unless you went by guy, each 865 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: is his own. Yeah, that's the way I look at it. 866 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: I'm not a huge James Bond right either, But they're 867 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily sequels. No, no, that you're right, you'd have 868 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: to do it by James Bond. So like the second 869 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: Daniel Craig movie versus the third, but he had it 870 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 1: he went back to the very beginning, and the third 871 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,439 Speaker 1: I forget which ones they were now, but the third 872 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: one was better than the second one, in which I 873 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: have no doubt that he's right. I just I'm not, 874 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not up on James Bond, but 875 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: I don't look at that like Jaws two in Jaws three. Right. 876 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: It's also how do you how do you compare a 877 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: James Bond movie from the sixties to like a Daniel 878 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: Craig James Bond today? I mean where they're not even now? 879 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: Tell me you guys, you guys watch the James Bond franchise. 880 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: Fred does Fred? Yes? Okay, so obviously James Bond is 881 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: in every one of them. Who else is, well, my 882 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: Moneypenny is what's her name? Yeah? Um, the head guy. 883 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 1: But it's not always the same actor, but the character 884 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: so they do have the same characters. So I guess 885 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: you could make an argument, yeah, on behalf of it, 886 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: but nothing on the original affected the second one. Yeah that, 887 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,799 Speaker 1: although I have to say I kind of thought that, 888 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: like James Bond and maybe the head of whatever, the 889 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: the organization spect Okay, yeah, so in this I figured 890 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: those were the only guys in this In this last Bond. 891 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 1: There is a lot of references to old Bonds in 892 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: this last one. Okay, so maybe I can give there's 893 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: a little latitude. I think Eric's a big we can 894 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: allow James Bond guy, Yes, Eric, um, Fred and Mark 895 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 1: Capello all or big James Bond. Uh, Mike and Puerto Rico. 896 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 1: What's up, Mike? Hey, guys, are you doing good? The 897 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: nature of the show, I call it one thing in 898 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: mind and then you guys start starting about something and 899 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I got something to say about that. Okay, 900 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: what we do? Yeah? So I got a couple of 901 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: quick thoughts, longer thought and then a game if you're interested. Okay. 902 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 1: James Bonds are definitely have sequels, at least the Daniel 903 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: Craig one. All right, Italians from Casino Royale to Quantum 904 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: of solist to Skyfall, which is actually the better. So 905 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 1: that's the case where the third one is probably better 906 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 1: than all of the other ones. And then the Arsenal 907 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: which was crap, which actually tied all of the movies together. 908 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: So that's just one thing. And you mentioned to that severance, Um, 909 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: it's sci fi. Well I didn't say that, do said it? Yeah? 910 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 1: It looked by based on the preview card, maybe a 911 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: little sci fi. And but you saw it, right, I did, 912 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: I saw it. Yeah. I think there's a little science fiction. 913 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 1: I think there's a little science fiction in there, but 914 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't consider it a sci fi movie. I AMDB 915 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: has it listed as sci fi? Does it? Okay? That's 916 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: kind of like me saying I've seen Southern Comfort. Yeah no, 917 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 1: you didn't never air. Wouldn't you qualify it better as 918 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 1: or don't you think of a better description? Thread would 919 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,920 Speaker 1: be a psychological thriller? Yeah, I would say so. I 920 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 1: think I think it's got some of both. Yeah, okay, yeah, 921 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 1: all right, So coming coming back to my original thought, 922 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: and I know I've talked to you guys about this, 923 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: uh in the past, but you know, there is no 924 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 1: worse time to be a Patriots far in there around 925 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 1: draft time. I actually stayed away from everything on the 926 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: draft other than your guys' coverage. But man, it was 927 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: just a punch in the gut, a knee and the nuts. 928 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 1: It was pretty brutal this year. Yeah, Like we said, 929 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, when when mel Kiper, who is very liberal 930 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: with his grades, gives you a C plus, that's you know, 931 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: you didn't do well in his eyes, you know. And 932 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: the thing for me, it's like we keep becoming I mean, 933 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 1: I keep looking at this again, somebody that has no 934 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: ties to Boston. I just adopted the team because I 935 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 1: like Brady, I like the uniforms. And then I'm sorry 936 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 1: Bledsoe originally Den Brady, Den Belichick still on and so forth. 937 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: But it's like it's more and more resented. Why am 938 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: I following this team? You know, I like to play, 939 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: I like the way they do things. But you the 940 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: first conferences are boring, like you really can't get behind Belichick. 941 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: You something that everybody was just excited for, which is 942 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: a draft, and then you watch in and it's just 943 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 1: a disappointment. It's a punching the gut, a need of 944 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 1: the nuts compe situation. But and then I started thinking 945 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: about it, and I mentioned it to you guys before 946 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: it is Your show is a pretty big part of 947 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: why I remained at Avid a Patriots fan. As anything else, 948 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 1: all letters go to Robert Craft at One Patriot Place. 949 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: But I would like to point out one thing which 950 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't think it's been done in the past, or 951 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: at least I haven't done it. Matt Morrell as a producer. 952 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he is an integral part of the show. 953 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,839 Speaker 1: The drops, everything that he does extraordinary and everything all 954 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: pro ordinary and one last thing, matise. I don't know 955 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 1: if he did it for free. I don't know if 956 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: he volunteered. I don't know if he was volunteered. But 957 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: his participation in the draft podcast top knotter, like that 958 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: guy's top potential. Okay, he got he's got the most. 959 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 1: He mentioned the most actual draft. He's the Patriots of 960 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: any of us. I think he had Thornton and one. 961 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 1: I think Marcus Jones. I think those were his two 962 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: that he that he brought up. So no, he did, 963 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 1: he did. He gets paid. He does work here, but 964 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: he did a great job. Yeah, this isn't his full 965 00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: time gig in terms of producing radio, but he loves football. 966 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: But thanks, thanks for the call, Mike.

Now 1143 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: Jill is the one who did is back from practice, 1144 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 1: she writes in when she's kind of royalty, So I 1145 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 1: have to read her repe she says, with all the 1146 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 1: Tony Romo talk on Tuesday, I can't help but say 1147 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,000 Speaker 1: that my biggest issue with him is his terrible grammar. 1148 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 1: He always says they should have ran the ball. Yeah, 1149 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,520 Speaker 1: that bugs me too, or he should have went to 1150 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 1: so and so. You'll notice it from now on if 1151 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 1: you haven't yet. Sorry anyway, do I need to update 1152 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 1: the practice song to deuce his return from practice instead 1153 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: of Mike? Oh no, that's a good question. By maybe 1154 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm fine. Well, you were upset when I called you, Mike, 1155 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,720 Speaker 1: and I was just turn off. I'm turn off sometimes 1156 01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 1: sexual assault. Sometimes somebody call me, you know, maybe if 1157 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 1: she wants to do another version with Deuce's back. Yeah, well, 1158 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 1: let's see how the season goes and uh, you know, 1159 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: make a banger. But that was that was the head 1160 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,600 Speaker 1: of the season last year. Yeah, it gets in everybody's head. 1161 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: Uh five five pats, five hundred, it's the eighth ticket. 1162 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Hot line phones are stacked up. Ben's in Pittsfield. What's up? Ben? 1163 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 1: Oh guys, how you doing. I got a couple of 1164 01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,840 Speaker 1: things about two things I wanted to run by a guys. 1165 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,400 Speaker 1: First off, unfortunately my guy Zion taken before twenty one. 1166 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 1: But if he was there, like at twenty one, Zion Johnson, 1167 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 1: do you think we would have taken him to the possibility? 1168 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: I do, Yeah, he was, you know besides, like the 1169 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 1: guys who were going top ten, no doubt right, Like 1170 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,160 Speaker 1: he was one of the best linemen and oh linemen 1171 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: in the draft, and it's like, you know, when he's mocked, 1172 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: he was one of the best guards. It's kind of tough, 1173 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,680 Speaker 1: but yeah, I would have loved you know. I feel 1174 01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 1: like if we had gotten him at twenty one, um, 1175 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 1: like all the a lot more of the talk about 1176 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 1: oh the Patriots can draft this that because he's one 1177 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,200 Speaker 1: of those guys who was actually mocked in the first 1178 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 1: round and like on those boards. But people would have 1179 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 1: still been upset about taking a guard. Some people would 1180 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 1: have questioned the guard, but I wouldn't have questioned the 1181 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 1: value right right. I would have probably had the same 1182 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 1: reaction and just do we have to take your guard 1183 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: right now? I would have had the same gu could 1184 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 1: have had Cold Strange in the second round, right, but 1185 01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: you could. But to Ben's h point, you could have 1186 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: had Zion j right, he would not have been a 1187 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: bailed now he was the first round talent. Yep. So 1188 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:08,959 Speaker 1: my second point, I wanted to run by you guys, 1189 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 1: And I was talking about this with some guy I 1190 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 1: was talking to over the weekend. But so right now, 1191 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,920 Speaker 1: like you guys know the bubble with the wide receivers, 1192 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: like they're getting paid way too much money, and then 1193 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 1: you got quarterbacks like I mean, Derek Carr just got 1194 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 1: paid forty million dollars. I don't know why he's Like, 1195 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 1: I know he's good, but I don't know if he's 1196 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 1: forty million years. But to my point, to my point though, 1197 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,080 Speaker 1: is that like obviously it kind of sucks because we 1198 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 1: can't afford any of the you know, the star power. 1199 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: Why at some point, like some of these teams who 1200 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 1: are paying these players like wicked amounts of money, m 1201 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 1: like it's gonna catch up with them. I mean, like 1202 01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,480 Speaker 1: think about Buffalo obviously, Like I'll can see Buffalo is 1203 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 1: a much better team than the Patriots right now. But 1204 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 1: you know they just paid Sefon Digs what forty million dollars? 1205 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 1: Not sorry, like forty years sorry, I'm sorry, twenty five 1206 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 1: million dollars a year? Like what happened? If he cares DCL? Like, 1207 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, they don't have money to go get it 1208 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 1: somewhere new or do anything like that because there's tone 1209 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,560 Speaker 1: a ton of money into him. Like let me, let 1210 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 1: me ask you this. I'm fred I'm gonna spare you. 1211 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: Here we go, I'm gonna spare it. I'm not going 1212 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: to do it. But if Stefan Diggs was making five 1213 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 1: million a year any towards ACL, what were the Bills 1214 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:20,000 Speaker 1: going to do? Well? My point being is if they 1215 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,640 Speaker 1: if they're paying him five million dollars a year, right, 1216 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 1: that means they probably have a little more money to 1217 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 1: get who they could push for other players? Right who? 1218 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,439 Speaker 1: You know that money is coming away from, like maybe 1219 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: another receiver instead of you know, one incredible receiver. They 1220 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 1: have two very good receivers and then if one of 1221 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,520 Speaker 1: them gets hurt. They do have very good receivers. Yeah, 1222 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm just using them as an example because I know no. 1223 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 1: But my point is it's never a bad idea to 1224 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 1: pay the great players big money. Like you run a 1225 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: risk of your your best players getting hurt. Everybody has 1226 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 1: that risk. I don't think it like hurts less if 1227 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 1: your best player gets hurt and he's making ten million 1228 01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 1: as opposed to twenty million, like you have to now 1229 01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 1: replay with someone who's not on your roster and there's 1230 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 1: no one available of that caliber. Like when Tom Brady 1231 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: got hurt No. Eight, it wasn't better for the Patriots 1232 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 1: because he wasn't making as much as Peyton Manning. They 1233 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:16,320 Speaker 1: didn't have anybody to replace him. That hurt, right, Yeah, 1234 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: I just think to the point of is this bubble 1235 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: gonna burst or is it going to continue to be? 1236 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've accepted with quarterbacks that you 1237 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 1: gotta pay because the salary cap is only going up. 1238 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,800 Speaker 1: With Derek Carr, well, guys, come up, you got to 1239 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,400 Speaker 1: pay him. That that's what the going rate is for 1240 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks. You don't really have a choice. It's not 1241 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: as much about well he's worth that it's kind of 1242 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: but I do wonder because there's going to be teams 1243 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 1: that have bent over backwards to bring in an awesome 1244 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 1: receiver this year that are gonna that aren't going to 1245 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,560 Speaker 1: have success that you know, it's just not gonna work 1246 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Absolutely, yeah, that's all right. There's there's 1247 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,720 Speaker 1: some teams that, you know, like Buffalo, they have a 1248 01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 1: great foundation. I'm not like, I won't argue that they 1249 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, they are a team that can probably afford 1250 01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,240 Speaker 1: and it's a kind of a good decision to go 1251 01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 1: fork over twenty million dollars a year. But I see 1252 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 1: some of these teams who maybe aren't as financially sound 1253 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 1: or don't have as good of a like a system 1254 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,320 Speaker 1: already in place, they don't have a lot of good players, 1255 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 1: but they're still going to go after that like single 1256 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,000 Speaker 1: receiver and think that makes the difference. And that just 1257 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 1: does not seem intelligent to me. You know, well okay, 1258 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 1: but I mean it's sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. 1259 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think, you know, you got to make choices, 1260 01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: and that's I think what the Patriots do and what 1261 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 1: they have done is I think they prefer to spread 1262 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,240 Speaker 1: it around and that's their choice rather than being top heavy. 1263 01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 1: And sometimes sometimes it does work. I mean, I think 1264 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 1: they're also prisoners at the moment when you have a 1265 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,640 Speaker 1: team like Cincinnati, who you know, did great turn things 1266 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 1: around really quick, drafted a great wide receiver who came 1267 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 1: right in, you know, but then they're going to have 1268 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:42,960 Speaker 1: to make some decisions. So you know, are they gonna 1269 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: play te Higgins when he comes up in a couple 1270 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 1: of years. I mean, it's always fluid. I just think 1271 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 1: every team you have to make, you can't have the 1272 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 1: best pass rusher, the best quote, you know, the highest 1273 01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 1: paid pas rusher, the highest paid quarterback, the highest paid 1274 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver. You know, you have something has to give somewhere. Um, 1275 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 1: but you know it. It was a crazy offseason and 1276 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I don't know, I said bubble burst. 1277 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean maybe that's too extreme, but I think that 1278 01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,000 Speaker 1: it will regress a little bit more towards the mean. 1279 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,360 Speaker 1: I think his teams, you know, some teams realize, like 1280 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, maybe just going out and over extending ourselves 1281 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 1: for one receiver isn't going to people. There's going to 1282 01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:19,600 Speaker 1: continue to be it won't burst. Salaries don't go the 1283 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 1: other way. Kirk all right, guys, is the poster child 1284 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 1: for this thing. I don't think people have a problem 1285 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,840 Speaker 1: with the other ones, the AJ Brown's, you know, and 1286 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 1: Stefan Digs of the world. I just think Christian Kirk 1287 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,600 Speaker 1: is a guy who has been an average player who 1288 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 1: got paid as a superstar. Right. The other guys are 1289 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,240 Speaker 1: really good players who got played like really good players. 1290 01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,040 Speaker 1: That's you know. I don't see it as a problem. 1291 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 1: I have never been, as you know, Fred of the 1292 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 1: of the mind that the Patriot's success was due to 1293 01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: their economic structure. The Patriots sess was due to their 1294 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:06,840 Speaker 1: coaching in their quarterback. That's it. Pretty A little interesting 1295 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 1: report here from Joe kayata Um. Saint Gilette Stadium is 1296 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,400 Speaker 1: a finalist to host the future Army Navy game. Robert 1297 01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,200 Speaker 1: tells me he really hopes to land the twenty twenty 1298 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,600 Speaker 1: three game Army Navy here. That would be pretty that'd 1299 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,760 Speaker 1: be pretty cool. That would be wild. Yeah, I mean, 1300 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,520 Speaker 1: obviously Bill Bill would love it. We know what sideline 1301 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,040 Speaker 1: he would be on. But man, that'd be great. I'd 1302 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,600 Speaker 1: take the kids. When is that game usually like right 1303 01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving, like early December? Yeah, yeah, it's usually all 1304 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 1: the other teams have played so after this mone but 1305 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 1: getting all the midshipmen and everybody in there school uniforms 1306 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 1: and stuff, and yeah, that would be that would be huge. Um, 1307 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:47,400 Speaker 1: Jerry in New Orleans? What's up? Jerry? Who's up? Guys? Hey? Hey, 1308 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 1: how's all the day? Okay? Just waiting for the schedule. 1309 01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, big day to day for that. UM. 1310 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 1: I got two things for you all. Um, what do 1311 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,480 Speaker 1: y'all think if we flirted with the idea of putting 1312 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 1: either Marcus Jones or somebody else that we've drafted in 1313 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: the side, if Nikkil Harry don't work out for us? 1314 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 1: Wait say that? Say that again? Um, what do y'all 1315 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 1: think the chances could be if we put in like 1316 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 1: Marcus Jones into like the slop position, if Nikil Harry 1317 01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,400 Speaker 1: don't work out for it? I just said, you know, 1318 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: just as a plug and play. I don't I don't 1319 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,560 Speaker 1: see it. I mean, I think he's a going to 1320 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 1: be a plus returner. I mean I have hopes of that, 1321 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 1: but I think based on what they've done, I think 1322 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys. I don't really have much, 1323 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, but Jerry, I'm gonna go to you, Mike, 1324 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,519 Speaker 1: because I know you've done more than Marcus Jones' research. 1325 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 1: I've I've looked at him and tell me if I'm wrong, 1326 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,720 Speaker 1: as a guy who is a defensive back who they've 1327 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 1: occasionally found ways to incorporate into the offense um you know, 1328 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 1: in in you know, sort of niche kind of play, yes, 1329 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,439 Speaker 1: Dean Sanders. Sure, is there a chance that they look 1330 01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 1: at it differently and they'd look at him as an 1331 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 1: offensive player? I mean perhaps, I don't think so. I 1332 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,320 Speaker 1: don't not by I don't think he's done. I just 1333 01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: think he was a dynamic athlete at Houston, and you 1334 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,679 Speaker 1: know those are probably a little bit more hard harder 1335 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: to find there at that level. But I don't know. 1336 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's more I mean, like your guy, 1337 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 1: how many touchdowns did Pierre Strong throw? You know, like itchdowns? 1338 01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 1: So you know there's maybe there's something there too. Or 1339 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,800 Speaker 1: the undrafted guy that I mentioned, Brendan Schooler who played 1340 01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 1: receiver and safety. There's a lot of versatility. I just 1341 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 1: I think for me, Marcus Jones looks like a defensive 1342 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,360 Speaker 1: back and a really good returner, and you know, maybe 1343 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 1: if you get into a pinch and you don't have 1344 01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,639 Speaker 1: that kind of quick, open guy. But I mean i'd 1345 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 1: rather get a sense of Agalore in there, or I 1346 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:45,720 Speaker 1: mean I don't think Harry's in the plans at all. 1347 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:49,599 Speaker 1: I mean I have trouble even like go soon. Well, 1348 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 1: that's where I kind of lost him, where he said, 1349 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 1: if Harry doesn't work out, it hasn't worked out, it 1350 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,040 Speaker 1: hasn't worked out. It's it's looked, it's looked the same. 1351 01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 1: I don't you know you get to year four next week? 1352 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 1: I mean Harry, I mean even like Harry didn't work 1353 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 1: and a couple of shows ago when we were going 1354 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,559 Speaker 1: down the wide receiver depth to see where Thornton might 1355 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,720 Speaker 1: fit in, we didn't even mention Harry. Right, no, no, 1356 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 1: And I find that problem when I'm like writing about 1357 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 1: the projections, you know, the team and how it's it's 1358 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 1: hard to like, well they return there, they're tough. Four guys. 1359 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,759 Speaker 1: I'm like, I guess five if you want to count Harry. 1360 01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,640 Speaker 1: But I just I have no no expectation for I 1361 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:30,599 Speaker 1: mean best, right, Fred's right at best, he's six. Yeah, 1362 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,960 Speaker 1: And you could make an argument for Christian Wilkerson, who 1363 01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 1: did as much as Harry did last year. That's true 1364 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 1: and less chances, right, I mean, people are probably higher 1365 01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: on him than. I mean, people were up in arms 1366 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,720 Speaker 1: one of those late games that Harry was active and 1367 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:49,200 Speaker 1: Wilkerson wasn't remember that people were up in arms about that. Yeah, right, 1368 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: and you know it was like, well they need the blocker. 1369 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,000 Speaker 1: What he caught the hed the game against Jacksonville, Right, 1370 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 1: that was what Wilkerson came in, didn't He had like 1371 01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,120 Speaker 1: a couple of cakes. Yes, my cakes, we got our guy. 1372 01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 1: Uh Spees and friends. No, spe Eric Colin is so 1373 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 1: clean as the proctologist. Gave him his number, Fred, that's gold. 1374 01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,800 Speaker 1: What are you doing? When I heard that one, I 1375 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,840 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I gotta call him today. Uh actually 1376 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:22,479 Speaker 1: picked him up from what Paul is talking about how 1377 01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,840 Speaker 1: it's not the economic structure, it's a coach from the 1378 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and the Patriot. I mean, there's no doubt. But 1379 01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, Brady's helped things along, 1380 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 1: I know, not taking salary cuts. You know, he helpfully 1381 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 1: reached early early in the first the first iteration of 1382 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,800 Speaker 1: the dynasty, the salary cap was much more restrictive and 1383 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,679 Speaker 1: it was much more important to have your your salaries 1384 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:49,320 Speaker 1: spread out. Since the I don't know six seven, eight, 1385 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,599 Speaker 1: eight nine, it hasn't been like that anymore. And now 1386 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,960 Speaker 1: it's you look at the projections, um, you know, and 1387 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,479 Speaker 1: I do I follow Miguel on this stuff, and he's like, 1388 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,639 Speaker 1: he's telling you what the projections are going forward. They're 1389 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:07,080 Speaker 1: astronomical and these numbers then they'll never there was a pandemic. 1390 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 1: And you know that was a pause right right, it 1391 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 1: actually went down, that's what But that's what it takes, right, 1392 01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 1: it's a worldwide pandemic. Yeah, that's kind of redundant. But whatever. Um, 1393 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,320 Speaker 1: the salaries, like you're not going to have the next 1394 01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 1: guy that comes out like go back to what they 1395 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:31,760 Speaker 1: were like because Christian Kirk got overpaid. Like maybe the 1396 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 1: next Christian Kirk won't get that money, but the next 1397 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,719 Speaker 1: Stefon digs Will and Deebo Samuel and those in a J. Brown, 1398 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,839 Speaker 1: those guys when you're really, Terry mclaurin's not taken less 1399 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 1: than those guys when his contract gets done. Those guys 1400 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 1: have been productive players. And the part of it that 1401 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:53,719 Speaker 1: I just disagree with is if Buffalo's players don't play 1402 01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,840 Speaker 1: well and they don't live up to expectations, it's not 1403 01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 1: going to be because their salary cap structure is not 1404 01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:03,639 Speaker 1: up to your standards, not what you think they should be. 1405 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,439 Speaker 1: It's gonna be because they don't play well or they 1406 01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: get injured and they you know whatever. They have plenty 1407 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:14,000 Speaker 1: of depth at receiver, right, I mean, Gabriel Davis is 1408 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,640 Speaker 1: a good young receiver. Who's the slot guy that they 1409 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,640 Speaker 1: it was at Robert Woods they sign No, who's the 1410 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,200 Speaker 1: slot guy they signed up? I think that's Tennessee Robert Woods, 1411 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,880 Speaker 1: Bobby Trees. They signed somebody to replace Colby Oh, Jamison Crowder. 1412 01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,200 Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder. They they signed to replace Cole Beasley. Yeah, 1413 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,519 Speaker 1: they drafted our guy. They have plenty of depth at receiver. 1414 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 1: Like if if Diggs goes down, that hurts. He's a 1415 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 1: really good players. Tallematters more. You know, it's plenty. Did 1416 01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 1: you stand this, Paul? I was, I don't know, like 1417 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,840 Speaker 1: six months ago. I wasted some time looking back into 1418 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 1: the history of the cash and the cap hit for 1419 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,439 Speaker 1: for for for super Bowl winning quarterbacks. I mean, you 1420 01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 1: go back all the way to like the early nineties. 1421 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:54,880 Speaker 1: The super Bowl winning quarterback. You know, he he's a 1422 01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,439 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer who took slightly less than quote unquote 1423 01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,120 Speaker 1: his market value and turns the cash or Calf like 1424 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 1: he's instead of being in the top one through five 1425 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,200 Speaker 1: on either those metrics, he's more like six to ten. 1426 01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 1: But maybe I'm wondering now going forward with what you're saying, 1427 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:11,640 Speaker 1: maybe that matters less. Maybe you're gonna you know, like 1428 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 1: you're saying, like, like what was Matthew Stafford's yeah, yeah, 1429 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,240 Speaker 1: yeah that for perfect example, he's one of the highest 1430 01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 1: paid quarterbacks in the league. Yeah uh well, uh I, hey, Fred, 1431 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,719 Speaker 1: I needed to pass you, uh or actually, all you guys, 1432 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 1: like what you think about the adage that sometimes teams 1433 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,160 Speaker 1: need to lose in order to wake up or like 1434 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 1: put them put them in a place in like a 1435 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 1: motivating way. And I'm thinking back to the Colts game 1436 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 1: of last year where I got into it with Hearty 1437 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:42,559 Speaker 1: a little bit about this. But did you ever think 1438 01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,280 Speaker 1: that teams need to lose in order to have a 1439 01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,719 Speaker 1: wake up fall because I don't really buy that. Well, 1440 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: I don't know about needing to lose, but sometimes you know, 1441 01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 1: it's good to face a good team and see where 1442 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,760 Speaker 1: you are and when you lose, you know, we got 1443 01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,640 Speaker 1: a lot of work. I think sometimes an argument adversity 1444 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,959 Speaker 1: is better to learn. You should learn more from your losses, 1445 01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, but I don't know if you need to lose, 1446 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: Like I hate that when a team gets in the room, 1447 01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,519 Speaker 1: oh they should lose a game or you know, but 1448 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of the foolish, like, oh, it's bad karma, 1449 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,479 Speaker 1: Like it's you know, the right you got to lose 1450 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 1: one because right right. I think what Speed's talking about 1451 01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,000 Speaker 1: is like, can you learn as a team and go 1452 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,880 Speaker 1: through going through the adversity of a loss, ye helps 1453 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:31,600 Speaker 1: you in the long run, I think it, But I 1454 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 1: don't know if you need to lose. Yeah, I wouldn't 1455 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,360 Speaker 1: ever advocate saying this is the week I want to lose, 1456 01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:38,080 Speaker 1: But I do think the teams that go through ups 1457 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,760 Speaker 1: and downs, yeah, stronger for it at the end than 1458 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 1: teams that just roll. No, you definitely learn more from 1459 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,599 Speaker 1: your losses. But I think it's a myth too of 1460 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,720 Speaker 1: of that the team that wins the Super Bowl was 1461 01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 1: automatically just the best team from Thanksgiving on, you know, 1462 01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, the Giants in the old day proved that 1463 01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,439 Speaker 1: of you know, it's it's up. You can be up 1464 01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:55,800 Speaker 1: and down and all of a sudden it just kind 1465 01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 1: of clicks. For those those three games the eighteen Patriots yep, 1466 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,160 Speaker 1: stumbled to the finish line and then played their best 1467 01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:04,840 Speaker 1: football in the playoffs. Yeah, which was like, you know, again, 1468 01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 1: like three specific games that were all kind of different 1469 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:12,720 Speaker 1: and they won kind of three different ways. Um, but yeah, 1470 01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 1: I mean I just prefer to get those learning experiences 1471 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,920 Speaker 1: up front of the season and not have them at 1472 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 1: the end of like, oh, we really need a week 1473 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,800 Speaker 1: seventeen loss to cost us home field advantage, you know. Like, 1474 01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 1: but I think it's just what you tell yourself because 1475 01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,439 Speaker 1: you come off a loss and you have to have 1476 01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: some kind of like we need you know what it 1477 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,519 Speaker 1: ends up being. Whatever happens, you say, oh, well that 1478 01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,840 Speaker 1: was why we did it, you know, like you could 1479 01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 1: make the argument like for you what you just brought up. 1480 01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 1: Then when they lost to Ryan Fitzpatrick, right, oh we 1481 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,360 Speaker 1: lost the buy that was the galvanizing force. Well, no, 1482 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 1: they lost the next week in the playoffs too. Yeah, 1483 01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 1: it was a harbinger of what team they really were. Like, 1484 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,440 Speaker 1: this isn't a wake up call, this is the adversity 1485 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,559 Speaker 1: didn't help them, you know, right. And I think that's 1486 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 1: another part of the myth too of just like you 1487 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 1: lose a game and that's gonna like bring your locker 1488 01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 1: room together, and you're gonna be like not always, and 1489 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,800 Speaker 1: sometimes it just shows you that you're not very good 1490 01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 1: of a team and unless you play perfectly, you're not 1491 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: gonna win the most important games of the season, which 1492 01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,599 Speaker 1: is I think what we've seen the last few years. Well, 1493 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 1: look at the Celtics game last night. I mean, it's 1494 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 1: a game they should have won, right they blew it. 1495 01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,599 Speaker 1: Now they lost a game. Is that going to help 1496 01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:18,200 Speaker 1: them in Milwaukee? I don't think so, But they could win. 1497 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,040 Speaker 1: I think that. I think there's still the better team, 1498 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, But I don't know if by losing that 1499 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,120 Speaker 1: game it helped them, you know well, and to tie it. 1500 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:28,840 Speaker 1: Then over to the Bruins, who have been giving up 1501 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 1: late goals all season long, in the final minutes of 1502 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,880 Speaker 1: periods in like at a certain time point, you'd be like, WHOA, 1503 01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,040 Speaker 1: you've done this enough. Aren't you gonna learn from this? 1504 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 1: And you're gonna put this to bet? No, this is 1505 01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:39,560 Speaker 1: just the kind of team you wanted to lose his 1506 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,240 Speaker 1: focus down the stretch. That's what it is. I think 1507 01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 1: the I mean, not to turn this into the Celtics, 1508 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,400 Speaker 1: they could definitely win two and win the series. Oh yeah, 1509 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,200 Speaker 1: I don't really understand the whole Like, I still think 1510 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,880 Speaker 1: they're the better team. Thing I do. They've played five games, 1511 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,640 Speaker 1: the other team has had a double digit lead in 1512 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,800 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of three of them. Yeah, I don't 1513 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:58,840 Speaker 1: know why we think we're better. I think the teams. 1514 01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,880 Speaker 1: I think the Celtics have better. Okay, yeah, all around, 1515 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 1: with all around team. Now with Middleton back, maybe, Oh, 1516 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,160 Speaker 1: I don't even think this series would still be going 1517 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 1: off Middleton. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If he was back, 1518 01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:14,920 Speaker 1: would be a different story. Rick nifty nifty snifty, Well 1519 01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:22,679 Speaker 1: that too. Hey, what's up? What's up? Hey? I guess 1520 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,080 Speaker 1: I guess I had. I had a few things on 1521 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,920 Speaker 1: the schedule. I just saw that. I don't know if 1522 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,080 Speaker 1: you guys can affirment that the Patriots are playing on 1523 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving against the Viking. We heard that too. I don't know. 1524 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 1: We do not get the schedule until eight o'clock purposely. Yeah, 1525 01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 1: we're not allowed Monday night football game against the Band seven. Yeah, 1526 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, can I not. 1527 01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be evasive with you. I don't know. 1528 01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:53,840 Speaker 1: Can neither confirm nor deny. Okay, okay, yeah, that's that's 1529 01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 1: that's all. I'm just disavising. So this is what happens. 1530 01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,639 Speaker 1: I think people think that we're being dishonest with them. Thanks. 1531 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, i'd like to know. I've seen 1532 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 1: the same stuff on Twitter that everybody else has. I 1533 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,840 Speaker 1: don't know if any of it's accurate. Todd to North Carolina, 1534 01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 1: Hey Todd, Hey, guys, how are you doing good? Check 1535 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,320 Speaker 1: with me about ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Even though I 1536 01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,920 Speaker 1: kind of miss Eric's monologue in the background with his 1537 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,880 Speaker 1: little snarky comments as Deuce is talking, that usually happens. 1538 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:30,040 Speaker 1: Fuck you, hey, that was aggressive. I like that. Okay, 1539 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,519 Speaker 1: So my question is what are you guys expecting from 1540 01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 1: this year with respect to the team. Are you expecting 1541 01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,960 Speaker 1: playoff bound and some big leaps here or there, or 1542 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,080 Speaker 1: what are you looking for for a progression. That's kind 1543 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,400 Speaker 1: of what I would like to hear, because, well, me, 1544 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 1: what I want to see them do is simply watch 1545 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 1: Mac progress, get our defense a little bit organized, and 1546 01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 1: I'm I would be happy even with a five hundred 1547 01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,639 Speaker 1: season as long as I can see them making progress 1548 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,960 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. I'll take your answer 1549 01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:00,240 Speaker 1: off there. Thanks guys. Okay, Yeah, I mean I think 1550 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,720 Speaker 1: realistically and optimistically, it's a similar season as it was 1551 01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:06,720 Speaker 1: last year of a team that you know, they're not. 1552 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there was a brief period of time when 1553 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 1: somebody might have said that they were the top team 1554 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:12,639 Speaker 1: in the AFC, but you know, I think the reality 1555 01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 1: of it was they were a playoff bubble team. And 1556 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,800 Speaker 1: I think this year, realistically, looking at where the league 1557 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 1: is and that they're a playoff bubble team, I'd love 1558 01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,479 Speaker 1: to just be surprised because I think it's easy to 1559 01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,120 Speaker 1: look at the schedule and the talent of the teams 1560 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 1: that they're playing, and you know, it's hard to argue 1561 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,400 Speaker 1: with people who are like they're the thirteenth or twelfth 1562 01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: or thirteenth best team in the AFC. Well, it's hard 1563 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: to argue against that right now. But I'd just like 1564 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,760 Speaker 1: to be surprised that it comes together in a way 1565 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: that is better than you know, people are anticipating, which 1566 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 1: I think people aren't. You know, four win season is 1567 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:42,600 Speaker 1: on the table for a lot of people, and I 1568 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:47,360 Speaker 1: haven't heard any of that, Oh four yeah, you're gonna 1569 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: win more than Listen. My thing is if I don't 1570 01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 1: hear another team say that Patriots are easy to defend, right, 1571 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 1: and they can be competitive with Buffalo again, get back 1572 01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 1: to there, then I think they'll be okay this year. Well, 1573 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,120 Speaker 1: I would say that what Todd said, the mac Jones 1574 01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 1: is the obvious one and the second one that's a 1575 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 1: little less obvious that he talked about. I would like 1576 01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 1: to see the defense, like the age of the roster 1577 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 1: has not gotten younger yet. Now that might be the 1578 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,280 Speaker 1: case once the cuts get made, maybe some of these 1579 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,719 Speaker 1: veterans go um. I would like to see the defense 1580 01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: be younger. So I don't really care what that translates to. 1581 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:31,000 Speaker 1: For a record, If Perkins and Ouchay and you know, 1582 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, maybe some of those guys extra dress playing 1583 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:37,640 Speaker 1: and maybe you're you're just as bad as you were 1584 01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 1: last year. Defensively, I'd rather fail defensively with young guys 1585 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,600 Speaker 1: than veterans. I know that doesn't make a lot of 1586 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 1: sense to a lot of people, and I'm not expecting 1587 01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 1: it too, but I would rather have Hope fail the 1588 01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,720 Speaker 1: young guys. Right. It's I don't like, I don't need 1589 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:54,200 Speaker 1: it to be a five hundred team. I don't think 1590 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 1: they'll be nine and eight team. I don't think they're 1591 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,559 Speaker 1: gonna win that many games, but I don't really care 1592 01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:02,240 Speaker 1: as long as those two things happen. Mac Jones gets 1593 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 1: better and they get younger. On defense. Well, but that's 1594 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,879 Speaker 1: the thing. I'm kind of saying it a little differently, 1595 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 1: But if teams stop saying and thinking that the Patriots 1596 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,800 Speaker 1: are easy to defend, that means mac Jones is playing better, 1597 01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,519 Speaker 1: and he's learned and he's progressed, and he can be 1598 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:18,720 Speaker 1: they can pull out they can be a little bit 1599 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:23,000 Speaker 1: more complex on offense and then on defense. Like I 1600 01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,720 Speaker 1: just you know, if they're competitive with the Bills, well, 1601 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:27,479 Speaker 1: the Bills are one of the best teams in the league. 1602 01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:29,800 Speaker 1: If we can be competitive with them, then we've got 1603 01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:32,559 Speaker 1: a shot. Well, then you've improve immensely, right, Yeah, Like 1604 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't need that. I just need them to play. 1605 01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:37,080 Speaker 1: Like if they play exactly the same on defense against 1606 01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:42,599 Speaker 1: Buffalo with Perkins and Uche and mcgron and anybody Anthony Jennings, 1607 01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: I think that's better even though it's the same result. Again, 1608 01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 1: I don't expect it to make say I can't be 1609 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,840 Speaker 1: the same result. We got to force a punt. We 1610 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,720 Speaker 1: need to force I don't like Again, I feel much 1611 01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 1: better about not forcing punts with young guys that are 1612 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 1: going to get better. Yeah, then with Dante Hytower, Jamie Collins, 1613 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 1: those guys like you know, I think they need to 1614 01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 1: get younger. I'd love to keep, you know, get back 1615 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,720 Speaker 1: on track against Miami. You know you've lost to them 1616 01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,040 Speaker 1: a bunch. Put them back in their place. Get rid 1617 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,760 Speaker 1: of like this Flores, you know, kind of era and 1618 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 1: beat Tah and Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle that group 1619 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,720 Speaker 1: put you know, really firmly at least establish yourself that, hey, 1620 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:25,200 Speaker 1: we might not be Buffalo yet, but we're better than 1621 01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the Jets. And I think after a 1622 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,639 Speaker 1: last season, you know, everybody's high on the Jets draft. 1623 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 1: They're coming too. Like that. Those are those are big 1624 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:36,000 Speaker 1: four games. This team can go any I mean, this 1625 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 1: season can go any direction. It really can't. We don't 1626 01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,320 Speaker 1: know and most people, I mean, I feel like the 1627 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,479 Speaker 1: general tenor is that people are expecting bad like you know, 1628 01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 1: That's what I feel like overall, people are not you know, 1629 01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,600 Speaker 1: I just took a like the four I haven't heard that, 1630 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,759 Speaker 1: but I don't think most people think they're a playoff team. 1631 01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,040 Speaker 1: I think that's accurate from from Mike. But even if 1632 01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 1: it's you know, six bad, I mean, you know, I 1633 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,439 Speaker 1: think that's what people generally across the NFL. They had 1634 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:04,640 Speaker 1: a bad draft. They you know, the Jets had a 1635 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,559 Speaker 1: great one. The Bills are they can't force the Bills 1636 01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 1: to punt. Miami beat them whatever it is to four 1637 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,080 Speaker 1: out of the last five times. Like you know, it's 1638 01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:13,240 Speaker 1: it's easy to say that. I think that the hard 1639 01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:15,720 Speaker 1: part is having a positive feeling, feeling like they're going 1640 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,360 Speaker 1: to be back where they were last year, nipping on 1641 01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 1: the heels of the Bills in the top team. What's 1642 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 1: more likely double digits wins or double digit losses? M 1643 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean probably double digit losses at this point, just 1644 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 1: riding the wave. I mean, I don't want to I 1645 01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,880 Speaker 1: don't want to believe it, but more likely seven wins 1646 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,519 Speaker 1: than ten, you know, based on what it is. I mean, 1647 01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,679 Speaker 1: I still believe that that they can pull this team 1648 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,760 Speaker 1: together and you know, could potentially win double digit games. 1649 01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 1: But right now, if you're asking me in May, waiting 1650 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:48,960 Speaker 1: for the schedule, Yeah, Fidel's in Florida. Hey Fidel, Hey guys, 1651 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,800 Speaker 1: how are you good? So I was looking to the 1652 01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:57,519 Speaker 1: podcast last week the other day, and one caller really 1653 01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 1: brought us one point and and Paul, I guess some 1654 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:02,519 Speaker 1: kind of a great one for words of his mouth. 1655 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,640 Speaker 1: But um, you guys ask the questions to call are 1656 01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,760 Speaker 1: saying you wouldn't want Bill Belichick. You still want Bill 1657 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,240 Speaker 1: Bench as a coach, right yeah? And there was a pause, 1658 01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 1: and it got me to pause and saying I'm like, 1659 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,760 Speaker 1: let me think about this, and you know I still 1660 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 1: want him as my coach, but as a GM no, 1661 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Because if you look at the 1662 01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: way he's been drafting, like, for example, linebackers, and this 1663 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,679 Speaker 1: is where I say, Paul and I agree, he's sticking 1664 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,759 Speaker 1: to these old types of hybrid of a big, stocky, 1665 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,760 Speaker 1: run stuffing linebackers when you see the league is transitioning 1666 01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:37,479 Speaker 1: to these you know, fast play, silent sideline guys. I 1667 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 1: get that you have to be like the higher end 1668 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 1: of the draft to draft these kind of guys with 1669 01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:47,360 Speaker 1: the trimmate Edmunds and um White, but there's no pastor 1670 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:50,720 Speaker 1: to try get them free agency or try trade for them. 1671 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:53,280 Speaker 1: And it's we're stuck with an when Jennings who aren't 1672 01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: even seeing the fields. Um My other point was I 1673 01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:01,679 Speaker 1: stopped caring about how we draft ever since twenty thirteen 1674 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:05,080 Speaker 1: because I really wanted twenty thirteen. I wanted to draft 1675 01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 1: Keen Allen and the Monterrey Moore. We ended up being 1676 01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:11,720 Speaker 1: Aaron dopted Damie Collins, and we hit on Collins and 1677 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,000 Speaker 1: missed on Adoption, And if we went with my way, 1678 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 1: we would hit on the Allen but lost on More. 1679 01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:19,679 Speaker 1: So I think that it's a fives and I appreciate 1680 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,040 Speaker 1: you giving me an example of a guy you wanted 1681 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,360 Speaker 1: who didn't work out. So many guys are like, oh yeah, 1682 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, they just listen to me. I want a 1683 01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 1: debo in McLaurin. In that draft, everybody, I was saying 1684 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,160 Speaker 1: it to everybody, you know, like they never gave you 1685 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:33,240 Speaker 1: the one, like I tell you, like Vernon Golston was 1686 01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 1: a guy I really liked, Bust, colossal bust. I was 1687 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 1: going to break my table when we passed over to 1688 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,080 Speaker 1: Muchmore twice and Kie and I'm like, why do we 1689 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,200 Speaker 1: get Aaron Dopton and Damie Collins? He even win a 1690 01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:47,519 Speaker 1: game in college? Yeah? Yeah. The coach thing is a 1691 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:51,160 Speaker 1: complex issue and I haven't gotten there. Thanks with that, 1692 01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,599 Speaker 1: you know, does the GM stuff bother you enough to 1693 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:56,880 Speaker 1: not want him to be a coach anymore. I haven't 1694 01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:00,120 Speaker 1: gotten there. Some people have, Yeah, some people have on 1695 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,680 Speaker 1: this show years ago they have. I mean it's no, 1696 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,519 Speaker 1: but do you not want him as your coach? I 1697 01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,599 Speaker 1: think now is the first time. Yeah, you're hearing more 1698 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 1: than a smattering of people saying right, yeah, If that's 1699 01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 1: what it takes to get rid of him, I want 1700 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:18,559 Speaker 1: to move on. Right. Let's see, Robin writes in he's 1701 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 1: in the catskills. After two years of a rebuild, the 1702 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,920 Speaker 1: Patriots have their QB of the future, a handful of 1703 01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,200 Speaker 1: fine young players, one good draft, one draft that I 1704 01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:31,080 Speaker 1: still can't figure out, and apparently no real need for 1705 01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:34,160 Speaker 1: position coaches. Do you think Bill has looked around the 1706 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 1: league and decided he's rebuilding for the next psycho five 1707 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,759 Speaker 1: to six years from now. It seems like he's drafting 1708 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,640 Speaker 1: middle class guys and doesn't seem to be worried too 1709 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,080 Speaker 1: much about keeping up with the other teams. Do you 1710 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,800 Speaker 1: think this is what he's doing? And if so, maybe 1711 01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,840 Speaker 1: next year will be a big one, plenty of money 1712 01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,960 Speaker 1: to spend in free agency and possibly better draft capital. 1713 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 1: With an underwhelming season on the horizon. I just don't 1714 01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 1: think there's some grand plan of seven years down the 1715 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:01,960 Speaker 1: road that oh, that's when we'll have it. Like I think, 1716 01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I really think, and you know, we joke 1717 01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,320 Speaker 1: about like, oh, he's still acting like he has Brady like. 1718 01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,439 Speaker 1: I just think he has a belief of how to 1719 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 1: build a football team, and I think he's just continuing 1720 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 1: to do it the same way. He's trying to be 1721 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 1: competitive this year, just like he was trying to be 1722 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,040 Speaker 1: competitive last year. There isn't a straight line. There's no 1723 01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 1: assurance that you know, oh, if we do this and 1724 01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:22,840 Speaker 1: this year, then in two years down the road, we'll 1725 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:24,920 Speaker 1: be able to afford this and that. Like, I think 1726 01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 1: they do their best to put the team together the 1727 01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,160 Speaker 1: way they see fit. Each season. They try to build 1728 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,880 Speaker 1: a competitive team. They know it's not perfect. They know 1729 01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,000 Speaker 1: there's going to be spots where they're probably a little 1730 01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,640 Speaker 1: bit light, and that's probably inevitable. But I don't know, 1731 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't have all this time left to continue coaching 1732 01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:44,760 Speaker 1: for twenty more years. Like there has to be a 1733 01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,280 Speaker 1: little bit of you know, we gotta get going here 1734 01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:49,640 Speaker 1: if you want to continue to get back into the 1735 01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,680 Speaker 1: playoffs to make noise in the playoffs to be a contender. Like, 1736 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,160 Speaker 1: but I just think that they have their philosophy and 1737 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 1: they're sticking with it, and that's how they're going to 1738 01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 1: go down a couple people. I I do. I want 1739 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 1: to think about it. I didn't ask you on purpose. 1740 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,639 Speaker 1: I do. I do. I do. I mean, I think, Look, 1741 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,320 Speaker 1: I think you can pick individual places where oh, that 1742 01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,640 Speaker 1: was a mistake, but I think that you could do 1743 01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:19,479 Speaker 1: that with anybody you know. Um, But I look at 1744 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,639 Speaker 1: my heart of heart, I think football is much bigger 1745 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:24,960 Speaker 1: than your two or three best players. I think I 1746 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,679 Speaker 1: have my doubts. I do, but I think I find 1747 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:29,120 Speaker 1: out this year. I think we'll find out a lot 1748 01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,880 Speaker 1: of people will find out this year. I think we'll 1749 01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:39,320 Speaker 1: find out when it's weird. I like, I just have 1750 01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:45,000 Speaker 1: my doubts that the the way that they put together 1751 01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:48,120 Speaker 1: their team over the twenty years is why they won. 1752 01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,759 Speaker 1: I have my doubts on that. I think it's all Brady. 1753 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:56,559 Speaker 1: I think it was in Belichick. I'm not dismissing Bill. 1754 01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:58,800 Speaker 1: Like That's why, like I started out, I said, I 1755 01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:01,080 Speaker 1: haven't gotten there, you know with that that I want 1756 01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:03,080 Speaker 1: to get rid of Bill. I think Bill's exception. I 1757 01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:04,600 Speaker 1: don't know as a coach, I really do. I I 1758 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:08,320 Speaker 1: don't think just anybody would have won six titles with Brady. Yeah, 1759 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 1: and I hear that they wouldn't have had the success 1760 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 1: without the two let me just say that, but but 1761 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:16,840 Speaker 1: I feel like, but but I just think that you 1762 01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,479 Speaker 1: look back at those games and so many plays are 1763 01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 1: made by other guys, you know, and you had to 1764 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 1: have guys that like in crunch time, you know, had 1765 01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:31,840 Speaker 1: the sand to make those plays. And I don't think 1766 01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 1: it was just pure luck that other guys. God who 1767 01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:37,200 Speaker 1: said it was pure like titles? But I mean, like, 1768 01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, plays that Troy Brown made. Troy Brown was 1769 01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:43,200 Speaker 1: a great player, okay, but it wasn't just Belichick and Brady. 1770 01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:45,760 Speaker 1: As my point, but I'm not try Brown was never 1771 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 1: a high priced player. No, well he was not really 1772 01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:51,400 Speaker 1: he got that was like the first feature I wrote 1773 01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:54,160 Speaker 1: for this. But you've got a huge contract for a time, Yeah, 1774 01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:56,360 Speaker 1: I mean it would be like you'd laugh at two 1775 01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,559 Speaker 1: million a year. You'd laugh at West Welker's contract. Now 1776 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:00,559 Speaker 1: they paid through the nose for him. It was five 1777 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,760 Speaker 1: years and seventeen million. You'd laugh at that now. But 1778 01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,120 Speaker 1: that's at the time, that was a big deal. You know, 1779 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,280 Speaker 1: I just think there were just too many other guys 1780 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,360 Speaker 1: that made plays that. Yet you have to have depth 1781 01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,719 Speaker 1: in football, you know, you have to. But my point 1782 01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 1: isn't that it was just Bill and Tom. They had 1783 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:21,960 Speaker 1: other great players. My point is it wasn't because they 1784 01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 1: didn't pay this guy because they thought it was important 1785 01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 1: to get the fortieth guy on the roster who just 1786 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,760 Speaker 1: played specialty. You're not You're not buying a strong middle class, No, 1787 01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,479 Speaker 1: I'm not. I think that they had really good players 1788 01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:38,559 Speaker 1: in an exceptional quarterback that was generational, that allowed the coach, 1789 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:42,840 Speaker 1: who's also generational, I think, to succeed. I guess the 1790 01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:46,960 Speaker 1: Willie mcguinnis and Teddy Bruskies and the Tie Laws and 1791 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,720 Speaker 1: the Mike Rabels and the Troy Browns, they all were 1792 01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,280 Speaker 1: part of it. But there was a lot of other 1793 01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:55,439 Speaker 1: guys that they think were just as big that I don't. 1794 01:31:56,760 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah, it doesn't mean like I think you 1795 01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:03,799 Speaker 1: could have had the same exact roster with a different 1796 01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: coach or a different quarterback and not want anywhere near 1797 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:10,960 Speaker 1: as much. Oh not anywhere. That's true. So that's all 1798 01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:14,479 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like it's a it's a it's a subjective thing. 1799 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 1: It's like it's hard to quantify, like why why did 1800 01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:20,599 Speaker 1: they win? Like it's impossible to sit there and identify 1801 01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:23,719 Speaker 1: A B and C. Fred's right, there's like a million 1802 01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,000 Speaker 1: plays that I can think of that were made by 1803 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,439 Speaker 1: guys not named Brady. You know, I don't know how 1804 01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,880 Speaker 1: much of that you know was because Bill and you 1805 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:34,679 Speaker 1: don't niled up the right thing to put a guy 1806 01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:36,559 Speaker 1: in the right spot. And you don't know if somebody 1807 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:39,160 Speaker 1: else wouldn't have made it. You know, it's you can't write, 1808 01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 1: you can't prove it. You can't prove it, just like 1809 01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:44,800 Speaker 1: I can't prove that if they had, like personally might 1810 01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:46,599 Speaker 1: the example I use all the time, And I got 1811 01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:48,760 Speaker 1: Mike with this a couple of weeks ago. Like the 1812 01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:51,080 Speaker 1: one time that they said, I'm going to do everything 1813 01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:52,840 Speaker 1: I can't to make my team as great as it 1814 01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,920 Speaker 1: can possibly be. For this one year was ZH seven 1815 01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,880 Speaker 1: and they came thirty seconds away from going undefeated. Yeah, 1816 01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:01,120 Speaker 1: I think that was the one time where they married 1817 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:05,080 Speaker 1: the greatness of Bill and Tom with greatness and every 1818 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:07,720 Speaker 1: every spot around him. You say, you can't have the 1819 01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 1: best wide receiver the best edge rusher, the best that 1820 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:13,880 Speaker 1: team did. That team did and they paid big for 1821 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:18,559 Speaker 1: it and it worked and it worked. That Like that's 1822 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,760 Speaker 1: always my argument, Like what would Bill be like if 1823 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,880 Speaker 1: he actually had all the horses and didn't just have 1824 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:27,000 Speaker 1: to rely on scheme in his imagination to get it 1825 01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,560 Speaker 1: all done. Yeah, it's just it's so hard to unpack it. 1826 01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 1: Twenty years, so many games, and that's what's like, you know, 1827 01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 1: you can pick a game for any argument that you 1828 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:38,439 Speaker 1: have of well, you know, it's I just I guess 1829 01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:40,479 Speaker 1: that's what I struggle with of. But you know, I 1830 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:43,720 Speaker 1: look at like I remember that Kansas City AFC Championship 1831 01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:46,760 Speaker 1: game in Kansas City. One of the biggest plays in 1832 01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,960 Speaker 1: the game, Like you know, it was hinging as to 1833 01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:53,080 Speaker 1: take one of Andy's work was that Chris Hogan catch, 1834 01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:55,720 Speaker 1: that amazing catch that he had that may not have 1835 01:33:55,760 --> 01:34:00,960 Speaker 1: been the cash but you know that, but like you know, 1836 01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,760 Speaker 1: like he wasn't that good a receiver, but he made 1837 01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:07,080 Speaker 1: that play and so you don't know, like how many 1838 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 1: other not so good receivers who have been on the 1839 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,240 Speaker 1: Patriots that play that was a big catch. There was 1840 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:15,120 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But it's not like they lose 1841 01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 1: the game if he doesn't make the catch. Well there's 1842 01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:19,080 Speaker 1: another play and the next play. Yeah, I know, but 1843 01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,559 Speaker 1: it was it was a great play. You know, it's 1844 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:24,200 Speaker 1: a great catch and he did catch it. That went 1845 01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:27,920 Speaker 1: to replay. He caught it. I know. Yeah, it's just 1846 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,560 Speaker 1: like guys like that. It's like right, you know, and 1847 01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:33,280 Speaker 1: you can go through any and and even like the 1848 01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:35,479 Speaker 1: uh you know, the people that love to people like 1849 01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:37,280 Speaker 1: to make fun of or you know, like even those 1850 01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:40,000 Speaker 1: guys have made some plays here and there. You know, 1851 01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:44,439 Speaker 1: like every team has players like Gabe Davis in that 1852 01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 1: playoff game against Kansas City for Buffalo, it wasn't Stefan Diggs. 1853 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:50,439 Speaker 1: It was Gabe Davis with two hundred and whatever, right, 1854 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,760 Speaker 1: Like is he he's not the star? He was like 1855 01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,160 Speaker 1: a low round draft pick. It's like a second year 1856 01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:59,519 Speaker 1: and he was out of his mind that day, right, Like, 1857 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,400 Speaker 1: I mean, every team has role players. I'm not suggesting 1858 01:35:02,439 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 1: that it's just two guys that make plays. Like I 1859 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:08,439 Speaker 1: just think if if you can sit here and tell 1860 01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:12,760 Speaker 1: me they would have won six titles without Brady, I 1861 01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,640 Speaker 1: just I can't really have this conversation. I don't think 1862 01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:18,400 Speaker 1: they would have won any of them either No, No, 1863 01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:20,880 Speaker 1: But I think literally I don't think they would have 1864 01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 1: won a single one of those with the same team, 1865 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:26,040 Speaker 1: and another quarter they might have won one. But I 1866 01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:27,920 Speaker 1: think it's also a question of how do you if 1867 01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:30,400 Speaker 1: you have a great coach, how do you maximize having 1868 01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 1: a great coach? You know, like, how how do you 1869 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,040 Speaker 1: use that to your advantage when you are building a team? 1870 01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, to an extent, that's kind 1871 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,559 Speaker 1: of what we're talking about, that they, you know, rely 1872 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:44,200 Speaker 1: on Belichick to make up the difference so that they 1873 01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,559 Speaker 1: don't have to you know. So I mean, I don't 1874 01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: fault them for that, but that's you know, that's kind 1875 01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:49,840 Speaker 1: of how they do it. But at the same time, 1876 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:51,400 Speaker 1: I don't fault them for it either because it's been 1877 01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,720 Speaker 1: wildly successful and that's the bottom line. What do you win? 1878 01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:58,280 Speaker 1: We win more than anybody else, that's the bottom line. 1879 01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:03,600 Speaker 1: But I do wonder often if they had the mentality 1880 01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:06,760 Speaker 1: that they did No seven more often, Uh, you know, 1881 01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:10,120 Speaker 1: what would have happened David and Bethlehem. Many reports have 1882 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,040 Speaker 1: shown the teams that pay high valued players don't have 1883 01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:17,160 Speaker 1: a sustainable model. Every team has limited resources. That is, 1884 01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,760 Speaker 1: the salary cap there are a few accounting tricks that 1885 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,040 Speaker 1: expand cash flow in a given year, but with a 1886 01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:26,400 Speaker 1: future iou teams with the highest concentration of salary run 1887 01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:30,120 Speaker 1: greater risk of calamitous injuries, and because they are vulnerable 1888 01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:34,679 Speaker 1: at other positions, are staffed with cheaper, lesser talent. But see, 1889 01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:38,880 Speaker 1: you can make you can make arguments against that too, 1890 01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 1: and you would have more injuries than them, you know, 1891 01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:45,679 Speaker 1: like they overcame them, like teams that pay high valued players. 1892 01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:48,720 Speaker 1: I mean, if it wasn't for Tom Brady, the Indianapolis 1893 01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,880 Speaker 1: Colts would have won more Super Bowls. And they had 1894 01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:53,760 Speaker 1: the highest player in the league and Peyton Manning and 1895 01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:56,360 Speaker 1: they were paying other guys and by the way, like 1896 01:36:56,680 --> 01:37:00,280 Speaker 1: they ended up eating you eventually anyway. Yeah, and they 1897 01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:02,920 Speaker 1: had Tom bra that that game was we should have 1898 01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:05,599 Speaker 1: which one? Oh six? They had Rodney Harrison? I mean, 1899 01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:07,880 Speaker 1: oh six? Okay, what about the others? When when Peyton 1900 01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:10,680 Speaker 1: Manning be what other ones? The two in Denver? Oh 1901 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:13,200 Speaker 1: that one of which he couldn't even play anymore? They 1902 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:16,960 Speaker 1: don't count. Oh okay, I wasn't no games in Denver. 1903 01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:19,840 Speaker 1: I wasn't aware that those don't count. Exhibition Why was 1904 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,479 Speaker 1: that game in Denver, because you lost in Denver, and 1905 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:28,800 Speaker 1: what else did you lose? To go down now, Chris 1906 01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 1: Harper harpers Harper's folly. No, Harper's muffs muff not fall 1907 01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,200 Speaker 1: Harper's muff. Well, isn't because it's Harper's ferry. Right, have 1908 01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,680 Speaker 1: Harper's folly. I didn't make it. Its Harper's ferry. But no, 1909 01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:46,439 Speaker 1: it's Harper's muff. I know Harper's muffs. Dirlier. We like muff. 1910 01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,920 Speaker 1: You have kicking off in overtime against the Jets. You 1911 01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 1: have the mortar kick up fourteen against the Eagles, right, 1912 01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:56,800 Speaker 1: and the corpse of Stephen Jackson right the Miami game. 1913 01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:59,559 Speaker 1: You could have just won one of those and hosted 1914 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:02,559 Speaker 1: that as championship. They didn't want to, like, they didn't 1915 01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:06,040 Speaker 1: want a host. Um. We thought it was our advantage 1916 01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 1: to play there. Rob writes, Tom couldn't overcome the fact 1917 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,839 Speaker 1: that Stephen Jackson ran the ball twenty five straight plays. 1918 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:15,160 Speaker 1: Even Tom's greatness couldn't do anything about it. Robert and 1919 01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:18,080 Speaker 1: Southern California. I hope Eric Colin will be okay after 1920 01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 1: years of steam broccoli in uh kale chips. Oh relax, yeah, 1921 01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:27,040 Speaker 1: I heard like I heard like people who are vegetarians, 1922 01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 1: like are more stinky in the bathroom. Yeah, I find 1923 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:35,000 Speaker 1: that hard to believe. Is that true? Well, beans, you know? Yeah, 1924 01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:38,519 Speaker 1: being being that makes you fart, right, Yeah, I didn't 1925 01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:41,919 Speaker 1: know that was a thing, not the beans. Beans think. Yeah, 1926 01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:43,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know that was a thing. I don't know. 1927 01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,599 Speaker 1: I've never had a problem with. Last week, Paully said 1928 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:49,360 Speaker 1: that CJ. Paully said that c. J. Spiller was a 1929 01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:52,479 Speaker 1: good player in the context of his draft value propos 1930 01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:54,120 Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I said he was a good 1931 01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:57,880 Speaker 1: player period. He was wrong yet again. He has a 1932 01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:00,400 Speaker 1: memory about Patriots games like a steel trap, but his 1933 01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,839 Speaker 1: perception of players on other teams is crap. CJ. Spiller 1934 01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,840 Speaker 1: was a good player. I stand by that, he says. 1935 01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,920 Speaker 1: Spiller's career stats ninth overall in two thousand ten to 1936 01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:13,799 Speaker 1: play the five seasons, played eight total one one thousand 1937 01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:17,719 Speaker 1: rushing season. Third year, only played sixteen games, twice average 1938 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:20,479 Speaker 1: more than four yards to carry just three seasons. Scored 1939 01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:24,880 Speaker 1: twenty one total rushing in reception touchdowns scored seventy five percent, 1940 01:39:25,040 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 1: or fourteen of his twenty one total career touchdowns in 1941 01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:31,799 Speaker 1: two seasons scored seven total touchdowns in other six seasons, 1942 01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:35,559 Speaker 1: scored more than two total touchdowns just twice, had more 1943 01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:38,639 Speaker 1: than one hundred and fifty touches twice, just ten games. 1944 01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:42,280 Speaker 1: All right, he goes on and CJ. Spiller, I didn't 1945 01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 1: really remember him. It wasn't he receiving bang of them? Yeah? CJ. 1946 01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:48,960 Speaker 1: Spiller was a good player. Did I say he deserved 1947 01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:51,639 Speaker 1: to be drafted in the top ten? No, I didn't 1948 01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:54,719 Speaker 1: say that. All I say was he was a good player. 1949 01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:58,120 Speaker 1: He was. He says he wasn't. He wasn't that good, 1950 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,880 Speaker 1: And that's his opinion. He's in tit to it. It's 1951 01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:02,680 Speaker 1: not like you. I don't tell other people what to 1952 01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:05,880 Speaker 1: think like you do. Well done, Steak, don't do it. 1953 01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:10,439 Speaker 1: There's certain things. There's just certain things. May I want 1954 01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:15,559 Speaker 1: to Italian sandwich? Right? Sam in Kentucky, I like this too. 1955 01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,720 Speaker 1: Played sixteen games just twice, played fourteen ones, fifteen once 1956 01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:23,160 Speaker 1: thirteen ones. Yeah, nice selective cherry picking. I'm proud of 1957 01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,240 Speaker 1: you because that's exactly how Paul would have played this. 1958 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 1: Sam says, thanks for giving us a podcast. That's third 1959 01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:33,160 Speaker 1: one season, another one, nine thirty three. I'll try that again. 1960 01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:35,560 Speaker 1: Thanks for giving us the podcast that's third on the 1961 01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,800 Speaker 1: charts but first in our hearts Quick Football one on 1962 01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,240 Speaker 1: one question with the question at O line this year, 1963 01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:44,240 Speaker 1: I've always wondered what type of skill set moves go 1964 01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,280 Speaker 1: into each position and what makes someone a good guard 1965 01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,320 Speaker 1: or center or tackle. For example, why would someone be 1966 01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:54,599 Speaker 1: a good left tackle but not a good right tackle. Well, 1967 01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:56,559 Speaker 1: it's an interesting question. I mean, I think some of 1968 01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:01,160 Speaker 1: it's relayed to the traditional you know, you're pass protector 1969 01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:03,840 Speaker 1: on the left side and more of a running you know, 1970 01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:06,559 Speaker 1: more you're running offensive lineman on the right side. But 1971 01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:09,559 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of changed over the years as 1972 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:12,960 Speaker 1: defense has become more valuable or more balanced. But I 1973 01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,280 Speaker 1: would say generally, you know, your left tackle is your 1974 01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:17,479 Speaker 1: most athletic. He's got to have some link. He's got 1975 01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,960 Speaker 1: to have some kind of quickness to get outside deal 1976 01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:23,280 Speaker 1: with edge rushers. Same thing with the left guard. I mean, 1977 01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:25,360 Speaker 1: inside you don't have to move as much, so guards 1978 01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:27,280 Speaker 1: can be a little bit less athletic. Center's got to 1979 01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:30,599 Speaker 1: be smart, quick, you know, understand leverage, get Usually they 1980 01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:32,640 Speaker 1: make the calls on the line. It's kind of the 1981 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:34,960 Speaker 1: deuced general overview of that's in line play which I 1982 01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:36,880 Speaker 1: was a terrible offensive lineman in high school, so take 1983 01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:38,800 Speaker 1: it with a great insault. Can I ask you a 1984 01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,800 Speaker 1: question when I was fourteen, if you had a guy 1985 01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:43,840 Speaker 1: that played nine years and the average four point eight 1986 01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:45,720 Speaker 1: yards of carry for his career, would you say that 1987 01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:48,640 Speaker 1: was okay? Yeah, okay, I didn't say star Okay, that 1988 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:50,719 Speaker 1: wasn't CJ. Spiller? Well, no, no no, that was CJ. Spiller 1989 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,760 Speaker 1: who emailer told us only average four yards of carry 1990 01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:55,720 Speaker 1: once in his carip but he averaged four point eight 1991 01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:59,519 Speaker 1: for his entire career. We rounded nine years. Pretty good, 1992 01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:02,680 Speaker 1: that's almost that's all. Yeah, you could say it, Deuce. 1993 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:04,840 Speaker 1: You could say it fun with math it's almost five 1994 01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:08,360 Speaker 1: yards of carry math u s. I didn't say he 1995 01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:11,880 Speaker 1: was like the second coming of Alvin Kamara. Okay, I 1996 01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:13,960 Speaker 1: hit the wrong button on Stephen Missouri. He was a 1997 01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:17,360 Speaker 1: call back. He was a good player. Burton Burton Island 1998 01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:21,880 Speaker 1: writes in I'm curious about Deuce's strangely specific speech impediment 1999 01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:25,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to Chandler Chandler Jones, does this supply 2000 01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 1: with other words? For example, does chair becomes share? Might 2001 01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:32,760 Speaker 1: Deuce be apt to order up a cheeseburger? That's good. 2002 01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I am working on it, you know, trying 2003 01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,360 Speaker 1: to talk to somebody, get that under control. I always 2004 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:39,679 Speaker 1: catch it too late, though, but it's kind of become fun. 2005 01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:46,639 Speaker 1: So sometimes what I'm saying, what way what? Um? Jack 2006 01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,960 Speaker 1: writes in from Annaba. When I had my kolonoskib, my 2007 01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:53,080 Speaker 1: gastro winterrologist told me he found a polyp that looked 2008 01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,840 Speaker 1: like Phyllis Diller. I said, doctor, you're crazy. It was 2009 01:42:55,880 --> 01:43:03,240 Speaker 1: Agnes moorehead. But there you go. I don't know. Act 2010 01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:08,240 Speaker 1: this more Andra from be Witched of course? Really? Yeah, Oh, 2011 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:10,559 Speaker 1: Samantha's mother and why does she look more like a 2012 01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:15,040 Speaker 1: polyp than Philistilla? I never seen a polyp? H I 2013 01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:21,000 Speaker 1: don't know, tough one. Um let's see lots of emails, 2014 01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:24,360 Speaker 1: lots of you didn't watch? I did? She was that 2015 01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:28,360 Speaker 1: was the mother? Yeah, now excuse me now that you 2016 01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:30,320 Speaker 1: say that, Now that you say that, I know that 2017 01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:33,920 Speaker 1: I didn't watch. It's another example of no value in 2018 01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:36,400 Speaker 1: it whatsoever. Don't know why I was thinking though, like 2019 01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 1: if you could cast yourself, like in real life, as 2020 01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:43,200 Speaker 1: a character that in a sitcom, like, what would be 2021 01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:46,880 Speaker 1: the ideal character? And it's gotta be major and I 2022 01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:51,000 Speaker 1: dream a Genie, right right, gie you got and she'll 2023 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:53,479 Speaker 1: do anything you want and she calls your master, and 2024 01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:56,840 Speaker 1: she's beautiful. She looks like Barbara Eden. Yeah, she's always 2025 01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,559 Speaker 1: dressed like a genie though, man, and I'm queen, you know. 2026 01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:02,040 Speaker 1: But I mean that that you can do whatever you want. 2027 01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:05,320 Speaker 1: You can make your dress one to the producers, that right, 2028 01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:08,080 Speaker 1: show that's gotta be the one. Your wishes, her commands, 2029 01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,719 Speaker 1: douce that show that has to be the one. Plus 2030 01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:15,200 Speaker 1: a single guy. Yeah, yeah, I didn't really watch Bewitch, 2031 01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,240 Speaker 1: so I'm talking about my dream Magini now, kim oh, 2032 01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,680 Speaker 1: I get those mixed this guy. Yeah, they were like 2033 01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:24,439 Speaker 1: the competitors at the time, like there was Adam's Family, 2034 01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:28,360 Speaker 1: Monsters was always yeah, there was always like an altar, 2035 01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, there was always a uh oh yeah, you 2036 01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:32,920 Speaker 1: know when you think about it. And they also both 2037 01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:37,479 Speaker 1: had like animated opens to the show Bewitched, and that's true, yeah, 2038 01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,160 Speaker 1: copycat league. Yeah, I see. I always thought they were 2039 01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:44,120 Speaker 1: like the same, like same the same producers and whatnot. 2040 01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,920 Speaker 1: But no, I think they were on oper an interesting point. 2041 01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 1: Maybe they were competitors. Yes, I gotta get us a 2042 01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:54,840 Speaker 1: supernatural girl um Joe and works us. I just don't. 2043 01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:58,679 Speaker 1: I can't participate. Well, you know he was in Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, 2044 01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 1: it was always in real modern TV shows. Yeah, all 2045 01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:03,160 Speaker 1: those great shows that never saw the yet that I 2046 01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:07,799 Speaker 1: played to him very disappointed. Paul doesn't like hot dogs. 2047 01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,439 Speaker 1: That snap. I looked into the future and saw a 2048 01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,920 Speaker 1: very upsetting scenario. Two years from now, Tom Brady retires, 2049 01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:17,000 Speaker 1: becomes a part owner of the Miami Dolphins. He calls 2050 01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:20,080 Speaker 1: his old buddy Bill Belichick, breaks the bank and has 2051 01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:23,240 Speaker 1: him coach the Dolphins. It gets worse. Coach Bill goes 2052 01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:27,400 Speaker 1: on to become the winning his coach as a Dolphin. Yeah, 2053 01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:31,760 Speaker 1: but by winning what games? A lot of games? Well, 2054 01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:33,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to win a lot of games. He's 2055 01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:34,920 Speaker 1: twenty seven games. Shop. So if he goes to Miami 2056 01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:37,880 Speaker 1: and he happens to break the record, if he's done, 2057 01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:41,000 Speaker 1: he's seriously obviously it's just a thing. No, But I'm saying, like, 2058 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,439 Speaker 1: it gets worse. I don't. I was waiting for the 2059 01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:47,240 Speaker 1: bad part. It's my point. Oh well, he I don't know. 2060 01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to break the record as a Patriot, I guess, 2061 01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:53,320 Speaker 1: but I wanted because he's still a great coach. So 2062 01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:55,400 Speaker 1: if that's not part of the equation, Like if we 2063 01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:56,920 Speaker 1: have to get rid of him because he's not winning 2064 01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,240 Speaker 1: games and he happens to break that record somewhere else, 2065 01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't care. Can you imagine you imagine that this 2066 01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:04,759 Speaker 1: show with belichicko somewhere else and then starts beating the Patriots. 2067 01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:08,000 Speaker 1: That would be But do you know what my point is? Like, 2068 01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:10,479 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be an argument be an argumentative 2069 01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,400 Speaker 1: like I often am. I get what you're saying. Like, 2070 01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:14,920 Speaker 1: if he's still a great coach and he leaves on 2071 01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,320 Speaker 1: his own accord and he wins like fifteen games with 2072 01:46:18,360 --> 01:46:20,920 Speaker 1: Miami and breaks the record, Yeah that's that. That would stink. 2073 01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:23,280 Speaker 1: But if he goes to Miami because he had back 2074 01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,840 Speaker 1: to back seven win seasons with the Patriots and then 2075 01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:28,439 Speaker 1: one like another eight with Miami and broke the record, 2076 01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:31,160 Speaker 1: who cares? Yeah? Well, I don't think that was part 2077 01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,200 Speaker 1: of the equation. I think it was just he quit 2078 01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:36,960 Speaker 1: hereable and Tom lured him over there. Do you think 2079 01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:40,400 Speaker 1: he'll ever coach anywhere else? No? Yeah, I must be 2080 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:44,920 Speaker 1: in another galaxy. I don't know where is that from. 2081 01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:50,160 Speaker 1: I haven't I don't remember that drop just in there. 2082 01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:51,920 Speaker 1: I think that was when we asked him to appear 2083 01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:54,639 Speaker 1: on this show. Right, Oh that could be Freddie. Yeah, 2084 01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,760 Speaker 1: it's a good point by you play that again, Matt. 2085 01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:59,360 Speaker 1: You must be in another galaxy somewhere. There's no way 2086 01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:01,760 Speaker 1: that would happen, right. That was definitely when we asked 2087 01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:05,040 Speaker 1: him to be on the show. Just stop in like 2088 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:08,519 Speaker 1: a lit'll stop in phebe Uh Steves in Missouri? What's up, Steve? 2089 01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:12,080 Speaker 1: Sorry about that? I hit the wrong button. Oh, no, 2090 01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:16,400 Speaker 1: big deal. Just I wanted to know if we could 2091 01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:20,920 Speaker 1: maybe quit saying deals trying just getting on to be 2092 01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:24,160 Speaker 1: a pet peeve. Of course he's trying to. Jackson tried seventeen, 2093 01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:28,000 Speaker 1: but Mike keeps saying he's trying. He's trying. Well, he 2094 01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:29,639 Speaker 1: has a plan. I think that. I mean, I think 2095 01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:30,920 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that call in here 2096 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,000 Speaker 1: that think he's just you know, making picks to help 2097 01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:38,040 Speaker 1: out buddies, Like you know, just what is the plan? 2098 01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:41,880 Speaker 1: Paid coach? Yeah, what's his plan? I got to be 2099 01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:45,920 Speaker 1: full disclosed, huge, Brady Homer. I've been mad they tried 2100 01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:48,640 Speaker 1: to get it rid of gron That's that's why you 2101 01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:52,720 Speaker 1: don't get along with Deuce. That's right, that's I see that. 2102 01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:56,840 Speaker 1: That's called I just it's just pet peeve. He's trying. Well, 2103 01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:01,040 Speaker 1: who's But have we been saying that I have? Apparently? Oh, 2104 01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:06,120 Speaker 1: I actually don't remember, but I often agree with years. 2105 01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 1: Yeah right, well, but but you know, look, Brady left, 2106 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:12,760 Speaker 1: like you know, it's not just flip it over. Get 2107 01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:15,559 Speaker 1: another guy in here and fourteen and three. Don't I 2108 01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:20,800 Speaker 1: don't blame their ing Brady dn't. Well, I didn't blame him. 2109 01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:23,439 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, what was your expectation when Brady left? Like, 2110 01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 1: what what did you want to have happen here? Well, 2111 01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:30,960 Speaker 1: wanting or expecting is two different things. Oh so I 2112 01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,040 Speaker 1: am not holding it accountable for the record, but I 2113 01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:35,519 Speaker 1: think that there doesn't seem to be a plan as 2114 01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:38,000 Speaker 1: to how they're putting the roster together. I think it's 2115 01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:41,839 Speaker 1: a bunch of mismatched parts. I think there's old guys 2116 01:48:41,880 --> 01:48:47,439 Speaker 1: in like, Oh, I don't I don't like roster. I 2117 01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:49,200 Speaker 1: don't like the direction of the roster right now. I 2118 01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:50,880 Speaker 1: could be honest with you, I think there are teams 2119 01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:53,599 Speaker 1: across the board that have more talent than they do 2120 01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:58,160 Speaker 1: and I don't think that's a good thing. We'll see 2121 01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:03,160 Speaker 1: that they brought back High Tower and Coins and Vano. 2122 01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:05,200 Speaker 1: How old they would be then? Oh yeah, because you 2123 01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:07,639 Speaker 1: just bring back mccordy and Slater. I mean they'd moved 2124 01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:09,439 Speaker 1: from the second oldest team to the first oldest. I 2125 01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:11,040 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, you make it sound like they 2126 01:49:11,120 --> 01:49:13,200 Speaker 1: got young. No, they didn't even get younger with their 2127 01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:16,400 Speaker 1: draft class. Forgot. While that's silly. They're all twenty drafted 2128 01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:19,559 Speaker 1: twenty four years old, right, But because the COVID season, 2129 01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:21,080 Speaker 1: you got a lot of those guys in the mix, 2130 01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:23,880 Speaker 1: so you know you're bound to draft something that's that's 2131 01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:25,800 Speaker 1: not fair. I don't get who worked up about that? 2132 01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:28,559 Speaker 1: Like it what in if they're amazing, you might get 2133 01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:31,439 Speaker 1: a year less of them, Like I think they're older. 2134 01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:33,880 Speaker 1: So what I mean? I I just think they are 2135 01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:35,360 Speaker 1: getting younger. But I just don't think that they're going 2136 01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:37,160 Speaker 1: to rip the band aid off and put a bunch 2137 01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:40,240 Speaker 1: of twenty five year olds out there. And again I 2138 01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:42,120 Speaker 1: said this about a half hour ago. We'll see what 2139 01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:44,679 Speaker 1: happens with the cuts. So far, they have not gotten younger. 2140 01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:48,280 Speaker 1: They haven't. We'll see if they do. When if they 2141 01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:50,559 Speaker 1: cut away so some of the old would you feel 2142 01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:52,760 Speaker 1: better if they just didn't bring mccordy back, Like, just 2143 01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:55,040 Speaker 1: if he was not here, that would make you feel 2144 01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:57,400 Speaker 1: better about the team with no Devin mccordy in the building, 2145 01:49:57,400 --> 01:50:01,439 Speaker 1: I would feel better if I saw more youth in general, 2146 01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:05,240 Speaker 1: Like instead of adding Davante Parker, it was a young 2147 01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:08,120 Speaker 1: receiver or how do you get that kind of stuff 2148 01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:09,880 Speaker 1: free agency though, I mean they are all going to 2149 01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:11,519 Speaker 1: be at least at the end of a contract. What 2150 01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:13,960 Speaker 1: do you think of Daquan Taekwon Thornton. Do you think 2151 01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:16,680 Speaker 1: he has a chance to do it? Yeah, to be 2152 01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,479 Speaker 1: good football. I'd rather have him play if you think 2153 01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:22,559 Speaker 1: this potential there, I'd rather have him play than Davante Parker. 2154 01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:24,720 Speaker 1: But that's what I'm talking about. It doesn't make me 2155 01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:28,080 Speaker 1: feel worse that you have a veteran who you know 2156 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:31,200 Speaker 1: can play on the outside to buffer how he does. 2157 01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:33,400 Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't play. I don't know that he can 2158 01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:36,160 Speaker 1: play on the outside, that's my point. Don't know that. 2159 01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:39,479 Speaker 1: But he's played in the end. But he has played 2160 01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:40,880 Speaker 1: on the outside. I don't know what he's going to 2161 01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:43,920 Speaker 1: play like in the with the Patriots, we've seen a 2162 01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,240 Speaker 1: laundry list of receivers come in for the Patriots can't 2163 01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:49,719 Speaker 1: knock him for bringing in Davante Parker. It's not don't 2164 01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:54,559 Speaker 1: take every individual example. Oh, I think he's the reason 2165 01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,040 Speaker 1: why they lose. I would feel better. This is why 2166 01:50:57,080 --> 01:50:59,360 Speaker 1: I said defensively, I don't care if the performance is 2167 01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,200 Speaker 1: the same, but I gets long as all these young 2168 01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:04,920 Speaker 1: guys play, I can't Bentley. He doesn't do anything for me. 2169 01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:07,320 Speaker 1: You know, bringing in Jabril Peppers, you know that. Yeah, 2170 01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:10,479 Speaker 1: we'll see. I don't love it. Yeah, how many of 2171 01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:12,280 Speaker 1: those guys do you? I think the best teams have 2172 01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:15,160 Speaker 1: a blend of veteran experience in youth, and they don't. 2173 01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:17,960 Speaker 1: That's my point. I think they do. Yeah, I think 2174 01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:20,720 Speaker 1: they have more than We'll see if they play. If 2175 01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:23,559 Speaker 1: they play, then I'll say that was wrong. Okay, but 2176 01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:26,640 Speaker 1: last year they didn't play. The youth didn't play. It 2177 01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:29,320 Speaker 1: took like it took like eight weeks from reminder Stevenson 2178 01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:32,040 Speaker 1: to like fully established himself as a player. That Joe's 2179 01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:33,920 Speaker 1: pretty young. But I feel like they got rid of 2180 01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:37,559 Speaker 1: three of their oldest linebackers and pretty old. You're still 2181 01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:39,439 Speaker 1: getting the old drama as hard as you were beating 2182 01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:41,160 Speaker 1: it last year. When they got rid of the old 2183 01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean they got rid of like, I mean, they're 2184 01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:48,320 Speaker 1: three and they brought back one of them one. Yeah, 2185 01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:50,559 Speaker 1: I don't like that. I want young guys to play. 2186 01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want McMillan and Bentley to play. 2187 01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:57,200 Speaker 1: I want mcgron in Perkins to play. Like, if they 2188 01:51:57,200 --> 01:51:59,760 Speaker 1: do play, I'll say I was wrong, he's playing them. 2189 01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm skeptic plays to play. I don't really care at 2190 01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:05,200 Speaker 1: this point if you're twenty eight or twenty four like that, 2191 01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:07,599 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I do like because 2192 01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:09,320 Speaker 1: you're not going to get better with twenty eight year 2193 01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:14,960 Speaker 1: olds that are already cratered in their career twenty Yeah, 2194 01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:17,920 Speaker 1: that's the way that Lee goes. Like quarterbacks can play 2195 01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:22,080 Speaker 1: forever in you know, there's there's random exceptions, but linebackers 2196 01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:25,160 Speaker 1: don't generally just keep on plugging, you know, when they're 2197 01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:29,519 Speaker 1: in the thirties. You saw that last year. Offensive linemen 2198 01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:33,439 Speaker 1: can play longer. Yeah, there's always exceptions. I'm not telling 2199 01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:37,040 Speaker 1: you that again. When I use the terms like always never, 2200 01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:40,799 Speaker 1: no one everyone, Like, I don't mean those terms literally. 2201 01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:44,439 Speaker 1: There's always except there are always exceptions. You can't tell me. 2202 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:46,760 Speaker 1: Devin mccordy was the same player last year that he 2203 01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,080 Speaker 1: was five years before that. No, of but everybody loves 2204 01:52:50,080 --> 01:52:52,760 Speaker 1: the guy. Me too. I don't think he played very 2205 01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:54,360 Speaker 1: well last year. So what do we do we bring 2206 01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:58,280 Speaker 1: them back? Like? What? Like what would the difference be 2207 01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:01,360 Speaker 1: if you just said we're going to bring in Jabril 2208 01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:04,080 Speaker 1: Peppers and have another guy to go with Adrian Phillips 2209 01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:07,880 Speaker 1: and Kyle Dugger and just let those three guys go. Well, 2210 01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:09,479 Speaker 1: maybe that's what they end up doing, But I mean, 2211 01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:11,040 Speaker 1: I think there's more to just what's going to happen 2212 01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:13,200 Speaker 1: in the field, Like you've got now, you've got guys 2213 01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,360 Speaker 1: coming in here. So I mean, I think that that's 2214 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:17,120 Speaker 1: part of the reason why I m accordy And this 2215 01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,599 Speaker 1: is why I said, I'm going to reserve my judgment. 2216 01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:21,639 Speaker 1: This is my feeling now, but I'm going to reserve 2217 01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:26,200 Speaker 1: my judgment for the cuts. Maybe James White gets moved 2218 01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:29,400 Speaker 1: out of the picture for Pierre Strong, and that's to me, 2219 01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:31,800 Speaker 1: you might not be as good this year. I'm fine 2220 01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:34,680 Speaker 1: with it because I know how good I can be 2221 01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:37,160 Speaker 1: with James White, and it ain't good enough right now 2222 01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:40,040 Speaker 1: at this stage of his career. And you think that 2223 01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what Peter Strong could be he might 2224 01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:47,240 Speaker 1: be better. And you're saying that even though you could 2225 01:53:47,280 --> 01:53:50,280 Speaker 1: be better with James White this year, you'd rather not 2226 01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:53,240 Speaker 1: be better if you could be better next year or 2227 01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:56,360 Speaker 1: just have some have some promise. Like if you're telling 2228 01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:58,280 Speaker 1: me I can win the Super Bowl with Devin mccordy 2229 01:53:58,280 --> 01:54:01,360 Speaker 1: and James White, absolutely signed me up. Hey, Paul, you 2230 01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,720 Speaker 1: were way wrong. These guys, ain't. They have plenty left 2231 01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:05,920 Speaker 1: in the tank. You were wrong. I think that you 2232 01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:09,639 Speaker 1: are middle of the road at best with the veterans. 2233 01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:11,920 Speaker 1: So if I'm not quite middle of the road with 2234 01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,439 Speaker 1: the young guys, I can take that thinking in two 2235 01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:16,720 Speaker 1: years I'll be better than middle of the road when 2236 01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:20,160 Speaker 1: those guys are in their third year. That's my point. Now, 2237 01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:22,680 Speaker 1: you have to be right about your talent evaluation, right. 2238 01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:24,800 Speaker 1: You have to have drafted the right players to make 2239 01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:27,680 Speaker 1: that work. And that's see what I'm saying, right, And 2240 01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:30,360 Speaker 1: that's why I'm worried because like the Anthony Jennings of 2241 01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:32,840 Speaker 1: the world and the josh Uchas of the world haven't 2242 01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:36,560 Speaker 1: done anything. And that's where the urgency to win. Now, 2243 01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:39,400 Speaker 1: if it's there, where does that play in? You know? 2244 01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:44,880 Speaker 1: Is it more important to be a playoff competitor, contender, right, 2245 01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:48,520 Speaker 1: And that's my point about I'm not sure what the 2246 01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:51,120 Speaker 1: plan is with the roster, like does that make any sense? 2247 01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:52,480 Speaker 1: Like I don't mean no, I know a lot of 2248 01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,280 Speaker 1: times I can get all snarky, I don't really mean 2249 01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:57,800 Speaker 1: to be snarky in this one. Like I'm being legitimate 2250 01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:01,800 Speaker 1: trying to voice, yeah, my feelings of my observations. I mean, 2251 01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:04,880 Speaker 1: I feel like they're inching towards youth, and I I mean, 2252 01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm you know with you that it hasn't been a 2253 01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,640 Speaker 1: tear of the band off and we're just going accept 2254 01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,040 Speaker 1: it at the linebacker position where that, you know, apparently 2255 01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:13,560 Speaker 1: seems the case. But you know, I also think a 2256 01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:15,400 Speaker 1: bigger point too, kind of going back to what you 2257 01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:17,120 Speaker 1: know previous colors says like, you know, do you want 2258 01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,560 Speaker 1: to be like would you rather make the playoffs every year? 2259 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,640 Speaker 1: Or would you rather win the Super Bowl once and 2260 01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:23,720 Speaker 1: then you know, be out? And I think here people 2261 01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:26,160 Speaker 1: just expect that, like we can be contenders every single year, 2262 01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:28,720 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of other teams would be 2263 01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:31,000 Speaker 1: okay just getting like I think Buffalo, I think the 2264 01:55:31,080 --> 01:55:32,880 Speaker 1: Rams will be fine. They get one super Bowl, you know, 2265 01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:35,280 Speaker 1: it's not this like all right, you know, of course 2266 01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:37,160 Speaker 1: there's pressure to keep it going. I would rather win 2267 01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:39,760 Speaker 1: a super Bowl than just make the playoffs. Where are 2268 01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:41,840 Speaker 1: we at now? Are we trying to get back to 2269 01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:50,240 Speaker 1: trying to get back to consisting dominance? You know? Right? Um? 2270 01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:53,200 Speaker 1: Well what which? What do you think they're doing? That's 2271 01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:56,080 Speaker 1: the question. I mean, I think that's I mean, we've 2272 01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:59,960 Speaker 1: we've come together. I don't I would have no idea 2273 01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:04,160 Speaker 1: to that question because last year gets mismatched. Well, but 2274 01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:07,000 Speaker 1: it's hard, I think with the quarterback transition. And I think, 2275 01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, like I said before, like I don't really 2276 01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:10,520 Speaker 1: fault them last year for trying to kind of bring 2277 01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:13,120 Speaker 1: the band back together defensively to try to see if 2278 01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:15,760 Speaker 1: you could squeeze it out. And I guess I do 2279 01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,720 Speaker 1: agree in a sense of that in some regards, it 2280 01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:21,680 Speaker 1: doesn't feel neither here nor there in that regard are 2281 01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:24,320 Speaker 1: we you know, are we trying to get? And I 2282 01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:26,680 Speaker 1: think it relates directly to mac two of you know, 2283 01:56:26,720 --> 01:56:28,800 Speaker 1: what kind of strides is he gonna take? Is he 2284 01:56:28,840 --> 01:56:32,000 Speaker 1: going to be good enough to offset? And that's the 2285 01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:35,000 Speaker 1: bottom the turnover. Why could be adamant about his point? 2286 01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:36,800 Speaker 1: I could be out of it. About my point, none 2287 01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:39,800 Speaker 1: of it will matter if mac Jones is great, or 2288 01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:44,880 Speaker 1: conversely if he can't play like someone a couple of 2289 01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:47,160 Speaker 1: emails ago had the whole life. They got their quarterback 2290 01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:49,440 Speaker 1: of the future. Okay if you if you say so, 2291 01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:52,600 Speaker 1: I like, I don't know. He had a promising rookie year. 2292 01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:55,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to read into that anymore or left. 2293 01:56:55,200 --> 01:56:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean, when Brady won the Super Bowl the first 2294 01:56:58,120 --> 01:57:02,160 Speaker 1: year he was a starter. It wasn't just Bledsoe rump 2295 01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:06,880 Speaker 1: swabs that still had reservations about Tom Brady. Right, you 2296 01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:10,200 Speaker 1: guys remember this pressure. Oh yeah, how did you not who? 2297 01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:14,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily bled Soto related. I'm saying it was 2298 01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:18,480 Speaker 1: Brady related. Like, yeah, he did a great job avoiding mistakes. 2299 01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:22,080 Speaker 1: System quarterback played to the defense, They ran the ball, 2300 01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:25,839 Speaker 1: and they were opportunistic. They gave him a very modest 2301 01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:28,920 Speaker 1: contract extension, and people even at the time it's a 2302 01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,560 Speaker 1: big risk, and people were like, I don't know, are 2303 01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:34,120 Speaker 1: you sure? And it wasn't big money. It was a 2304 01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:38,200 Speaker 1: good bump for a sixth round quarterback. But there were 2305 01:57:38,240 --> 01:57:41,480 Speaker 1: people he had just one Super Bowl MVP and people 2306 01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:44,000 Speaker 1: were still unsure about him, and I'm supposed to be 2307 01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:46,800 Speaker 1: convinced that mac Jones is the guy in the future, like, 2308 01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,480 Speaker 1: I don't know that to be well, to be sure, 2309 01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:52,000 Speaker 1: do I think he is? Yeah? I do. Nelson Agilers, 2310 01:57:52,240 --> 01:57:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean he thinks well. And the more of the 2311 01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:57,720 Speaker 1: veterans that you hear from have said there's a big 2312 01:57:57,840 --> 01:58:04,840 Speaker 1: difference Fred and the strength the work ethic, just really 2313 01:58:04,880 --> 01:58:08,480 Speaker 1: bringing it to a different level. Mac Jones, Okay, great, 2314 01:58:09,200 --> 01:58:11,880 Speaker 1: they haven't practiced yet. Friend. The answer to that question 2315 01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:14,360 Speaker 1: would be, how do they know that they haven't practiced? 2316 01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:18,760 Speaker 1: Love it they they've been together. They've been together. Um 2317 01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:23,560 Speaker 1: Trent writes in one more email um from Silver like Alberta, Yeah, 2318 01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:26,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to add some movies to the trilogy.
