But because you 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: said you didn't miss anything, and because Evan just got 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: you like the rocket track, you took it me and 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: Mike very very hurt.

You want to tell me they weren't 23 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: as big a problem as the offense tell you both. 24 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: This is Patriots Unfiltered, fueled by Duncan. All Right, welcome 25 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots Unfiltered. It's Thursday here at Gillette Stadium, and 26 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: it's Deuce, it's Alex, it's Paul, it's myself, and it's 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Matt and the booth, and we're gonna be talking Patriots 28 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: for the next two hours plus. We're gonna be doing 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: our weekly picks, of which I had an historically bad week. 30 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: I just want to apologize because evidently I didn't offer 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: the instructions properly last week. I thought it went on 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: said that we were trying to win the games, not 33 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: not all um contestants in the contest. Yeah, I said, 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: I've lost that NFL feeling week ones. I don't have it. 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: You put new excuse, new methodology, you're installing a new methodology. Yeah, 36 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: I changed all the terminology on myself before. I Yeah, 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: sharp parlance. Yeah, I no excuses, just a bad week, 38 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, Um, so what do we got? What 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: do we got? We got the Steelers, So we're going 40 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh on Sunday for a big game and uh yeah, 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: diving a little more into Pittsburgh. Their offense is pretty 42 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: bad too. It made me feel like I'm used to 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: watching it, you know, not really having weapons and feeling like, 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys have weapons, and it's like you 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: just feel like Trabisky can't can't get it to them 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: at all. I mean, you know, it was as much 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: as it was a struggle with the Patriots, it was 48 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: a struggle with the Steelers too, So maybe you have 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more confidence that they'll find something with 50 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: with those guys, they'd certainly have talented receiver, but so 51 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: they look frustrated. So given that whoever wins this game, 52 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: how many points do they need to score? Is it 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: like it's twenty two? I think number that's the number 54 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: of the like low twenties. I think I probably probably do. 55 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean, every prediction I've seen mostly are in the seventeen, fourteen, 56 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: sixteen thirteen. So if you get in the twenties, you 57 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: win this game. Is that what we're saying? I mean, 58 00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: I think, oh, come on, that's I mean, pick a 59 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: sixteen thirty out of the right now, I'll keep the 60 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: suspense and let you know who I think is it's 61 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: kind of a Burman's score sixteen thirteen. Yeah, it's regular. 62 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: It's a little bit. Yeah, you know. I mean it 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: makes sense to me given what we saw last week 64 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: from from both of these offenses. It was a great 65 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: scoring college football a couple of weeks ago, Iowa won 66 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: a game seven to three. Yeah, with a field goal 67 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: and two safeties. Wow, that's great. Yeah, that's that's something 68 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: sounds normal, but it's didn't really, they didn't really get 69 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: their conventional methodology. Yep. So, Um, so we think it's 70 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: gonna be a low scoring game, do we? I think so? 71 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: I think too. To point out Jawan Bentley missed practice 72 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: yesterday with a toe injury. I think that's significant. We'll see, Um, 73 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: Evan will stop in and say hello after practice. We'll 74 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: see if he's able to get out there today. But 75 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: I thought he was, you know, one of the bright 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: spots on the defense. I think he's been one of 77 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: the bright spots on the defense all kind of preseason. 78 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: So I think that'd be a little bit of a blow. Um. 79 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't here right away when Evan came, but was 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: yesterday A padded practice. Who I think so, yeah, it 81 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: was that you didn't we didn't ask him the mood. 82 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: I know, we didn't. We didn't have the problem. Mike 83 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: had mentioned that we don't have Fred to get all 84 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: of the because they had pads on. Alex was there. Okay, 85 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: so that's a good thing because Adrian Phillips was out 86 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: there and he was limited. Yeah, but the rim if 87 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: if it was usually if it was if he was 88 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: going to be out like padded practice, he wouldn't be 89 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: out there, you know, right, if it was a walk through, 90 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: then everybody is usually there. But if you know, so, 91 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: that's a good sign for Phillips. Definitely a good sign. 92 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Bentley thing just took me 93 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: by surprise. He didn't really see him get dinged at 94 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: all during the during the game. So well, when they 95 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: say so if it's that turf toe, those things can linger. Yeah, 96 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, speaking of like Marcus Cannon, who they just 97 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: signed to the practice squad, was a victim of that 98 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: at least at least once, maybe twice in his career, 99 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: where you know, three or four games it's like it's 100 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: a toe injury, get back. But those things can be tough. Yeah, 101 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, those things that linger hamstrings, those kind 102 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: of early Yeah, bizarre. What exactly is turf toe? I've 103 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: never actually I think it's torn ligament in your toe, 104 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, I think, yeah, something like that. I 105 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: think it bends back a certain way and tears the ligaments. 106 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: It's very painful. It sounds a lot less worse than 107 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: it actually probably is. Like turf toe. It sounds kind 108 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: of right, Oh, get green stuff on my toe? No, 109 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: it's it's on the turf. Yeah. I don't know why 110 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: they call it turf toe, but it's it's a like 111 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: a Yeah, it's a very painful injury. Yeah. Well, hopefully 112 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: it's not that. Maybe he just got stepped on and 113 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: he's got a tonnail issue or something. Yeah, hangnail, hangnail. 114 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: That sounds worse. Um all right, so we got that. 115 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: We had our first UM practice participation report yesterday and 116 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: um mac spoke at the podium yesterday. What did you 117 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: think about what he was saying. Yeah, it sounds sounds 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: like he's good to go for the most part. I mean, 119 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how much he's being limited as a 120 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: full participant. As Paul kind of predicted, but there was 121 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: one question I definitely waffled though. After Bill's press conference, 122 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: I predicted it and then Bill was like, I don't know, 123 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: we'll see it. I was like, oh, maybe I'm wrong, maybe, 124 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: and then you know, he was full participant, like it 125 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: was nothing. There was one question that he was asked 126 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: that It's not that the answer wasn't expected, but the 127 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: way he answered it gave me optimism him. The question was, 128 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: you know, they're talking about the mistakes that were made, 129 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: and he's like, are they fixable? And bang he was like, yes, absolutely, 130 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, so of course he's gonna say that. But 131 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: the way he said it, I was like, Okay, he 132 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: honestly believes that they're fixable. He's not just saying that 133 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: because I agree. I do, but I also would say, like, 134 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: there's really not there's no such thing really as a 135 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: non fixable. Well, if you're the quarterback and in your 136 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: heart you believe I don't have guys around me, you know, 137 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: you might hesitate, you might you know, so on a 138 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: podium in front of the media especially, I don't. I 139 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: just don't see it. There's one answer there, and it's yes, no, 140 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: I know, But it's how it's how you say, we're 141 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: going into week two of an NFL season, the problem 142 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: is correctable. I don't really think no, no, no no, But 143 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: if I don't see if you think your offensive line 144 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: truly stinks, you're not gonna say you might know. I 145 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: didn't say that. I said, of course, the answer he 146 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: gave is the only answer. But it's how he said it. 147 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is that's the only way he 148 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: can say. I think there's other ways. And I'm not 149 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: telling you that he thinks that it's fixable. I think 150 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: he believes it's fix I am a keen observer of 151 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: the human condition. Okay, well, the last half hour of 152 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: the show, we're gonna dispute not the human condition. That's 153 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: not the human I I can detect the slightest hesitation, 154 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: and there was nothing was like. But I what I'm 155 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: telling you is I wouldn't expect anybody to give a 156 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: slight hesitation. I'm with Alex on this, like there's First 157 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: of all, let me stay I don't think that he 158 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: doubts that they can fix it. I think he's the 159 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: quarter back of the team. I think he believes they 160 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: can fix it. I think you're right I think he 161 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: believes it can be fixed. I'm just telling you, I 162 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: don't know an example of a guy who plays in 163 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the NFL who doesn't think they can have success. I'm 164 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: gonna play this week, but I don't think I can 165 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: do it. I don't think the guys around me you 166 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: are good. Now he might eventually to and how they 167 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: do after. I think he didn't think that they could win. 168 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: I think I think he cut to a point where 169 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: he was worried. Of course, of course he was worried. 170 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: But they went twelve and four. But but do you 171 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: think that he had that immediate He didn't think it 172 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: was like the best team that he's had. Yeah, and 173 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: you could detect that from his answers, right right, I 174 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: didn't detect anything like that from that, because so this 175 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: is better than that? Then No, I'm saying Mac is 176 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: more sure than Tom was. I'm saying Mac is more 177 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 1: confident than Tom was. I said, I think you're out 178 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: of your mind. But that's okay. I feel like too, 179 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: Like he's been given the same press conference for about 180 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: a month and a half now at this point of like, 181 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: you guys never really made able to do anything. You 182 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: think you're gonna be able to. I mean, that's kind 183 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: of been the gym. Yeah, and I think, you know, 184 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: the next time we go out there, you know, we'll 185 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: be better in I don't know. I was actually there, 186 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: so I was I was actually here like working, so 187 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: you know, you can say what you want. You know, 188 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: at least I was present. It's a good point for 189 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 1: that was so anyway, anyway, I figured that would get 190 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: a rise out of everybody. Yeah, I do. I do 191 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: agree with your premise. I think he believes that it's fixable. 192 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of the issues seem at least 193 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: like offensive wise, seem like disciplinary communication. So you hope 194 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: that that's a quick answer that yeah we can. Now 195 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: here's what I'm gonna play the other side of the fence. 196 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: We know that mistakes happened, you know, whether they're pre 197 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: snap mistakes, turnovers, communication, Every team in every game makes them. 198 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: This team right now is not good enough to overcome them. 199 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Like the best team in the league 200 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: has communication breakdowns, they have pre snap penalty, they have 201 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: a turnover or two, but they overcome them. It's not 202 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: a big deal for us right now. Every mistake is 203 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: a big deal. That's the problem. It's a good point. 204 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: I forget who said it on Tuesday, but one of 205 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: you guys said that this isn't a team where like 206 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: the personnel can make up for those mistakes, so you 207 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: almost have to play perfectly just to be like even 208 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: incompetitive and yeah, yeah, and you saw too, I mean 209 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: the takeaways, you know, like they mean they didn't get 210 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: any takeaways and that, I mean, that's all we've seen 211 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years that they need. That 212 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: that needs to be the boost that they need to 213 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: kind of help them produce some feel position or at 214 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: the least point was it was it the Bengals that 215 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: have five turnovers in the first half yet last week 216 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: or something like that. Well, I don't know when they 217 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: all they had five turnovers and they got sacked seven times, 218 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: right and they and they still should have one thing, 219 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: we're still in the game and overtime. Yeah, I mean again, 220 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's offense was I mean, like inside the ten yard line, 221 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: like it's a grind, same thing. It's Cincinnati's defense is 222 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: pretty good, um, but yeah, I mean, yeah, Pittsburgh doesn't 223 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: have much offense. And the one thing that I'll say 224 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: about the whole I think we all think low scoring, 225 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: you know. I see Current has a thing up right 226 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: now saying he thinks that Pittsburgh will be hard pressed 227 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: to hit double double digits. I agree. Turnovers can always 228 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: be the equalizer and all that stuff, you know. And 229 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: for a for as bad as Pittsburgh's offense was, they 230 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: get ended up with twenty whatever was it, twenty three points, 231 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: you know when at the end of the day, because 232 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: the other team turned the ball over five times. That's 233 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: how they got most of their points. One of them 234 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: was a pick six. It was like the second second 235 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: play of the game, I think says nothing. So if 236 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots go out there and turn the ball over, 237 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: then Pittsburgh is probably going to be in the mid 238 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: twenties again, you know. And if conversely, if Pittsburgh does that, 239 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots will be up in the mid 240 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: twenties or higher. That's always the equalizer. Yeah, that's that's 241 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. Why I'm leaning Pittsburgh by a slight 242 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: edge is just I think their defense is a little 243 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: bit more just rub I mean, the production last week 244 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: speaks for itself, but I think the Patriots defense will 245 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: have to outproduce the Pittsburgh defens on the other side. 246 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: In terms of feel position, stop, are you surprised that 247 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots are, you know, as far as the Sharp's 248 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: concern favorite in this game, I'm definitely surprised. But I 249 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: mean I do feel because of just T J. Watts out. 250 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they looked at both offenses it 251 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: felt like they stunk. But I still don't get it. 252 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: I still don't get it. I mean, I think Fittsburgh should. 253 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like a little because you get three. 254 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: So really the Patriots are four and a half point favorites. Sorry, 255 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: I accurately predicted that that line would come up today 256 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: joining this show. Um, but I but I agree with you, friend, 257 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of an odd line, 258 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: like so, but why, like what do they know? What 259 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: the sharps? What do they know? Do they? I mean, 260 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: I was going to bring up the sharps of the 261 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: gambling Patriots history idea? Is that what it's called? I've editor, 262 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be the getting getting 263 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: What are the sharp snow ports? Like? At one point 264 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: last week, I think she was stressing so much about 265 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: her picks and Fred goes, you know, there's no ramifications. 266 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: You got them wrong. It's just maybe some guys at 267 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: home listening to us Bett and his kid's college tuition 268 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: on her picks. Yeah, I hope, but I felt for 269 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: it because I think she was really like she probably 270 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: agonizing over every single game she I mean everybody, But Fred, seriously, 271 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't ever remember in the history of our contest 272 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: a week that you've had. I know I had. I'll 273 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: just I'll get lay that out there for the teams 274 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: for later on. When I go bad, I go bad 275 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: it tweek one, tweek one. It's a process. I'm in 276 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: a holeville now, I can tell you that much. Anyway. So, yeah, 277 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: I was surprised. Point and a half is what I'm hearing, 278 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: you know. But I think, I mean, I think everybody's 279 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: kind of in the same ballpark of teens to teens. 280 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't seen anybody out of the teens 281 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: and in a close game, but you just would think, 282 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, two similar teams, right, right. But to Fred's point, 283 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that they view these similar teams on 284 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: the same exact level. I think in Vegas anyway, it's 285 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: viewed that the Patriots are above Yeah. So we'll see 286 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: it's weird. Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you 287 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: look at that Pittsburgh defense and not pick them too well, 288 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, I guess they see think that 289 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: there's some hope with the Patriots offense and there's none 290 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: with the Pittsburgh offense. Maybe I don't know, you know, 291 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: I was thinking about it too, Like, I mean, I 292 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: think like the game plans against Pittsburgh during the you know, 293 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: the Old Dynasty years were always so interesting to me 294 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: of you know, a lot of trying to use their 295 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: aggression against them, trying you know, um, misdirections stuff. The 296 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: wide receiver passed to Moss in Oh seven that was 297 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: Anthony Smith, was that when they went after him the 298 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: branch catching in the Old four championship, Like they just 299 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: they always seem to kind of know how a bead 300 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: for what this defense does. And I'm just I'll be 301 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: interested to see are they still able to do those things? 302 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: Everything we talked about yesterday with you know, there's not 303 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: a lot of creativity. It feels like coming up the 304 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: play call, are those things going to exist? You know? 305 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: Are there is there going to be little trick plays, 306 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: a little you know misdirection, more screen passes, trying to 307 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: get them coming up field and get behind them, those 308 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: kind of things. I just you know, we became so 309 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: familiar with how they've attacked this defense in the past. 310 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: What does it look like now after all the flak 311 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: that they've taken for their offensive game plan last week 312 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: that you know, lacked imagination and diversity and all those things. 313 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: I remember last year or even the year before, we 314 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: criticize the people, Well, they have to use trick plays 315 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: in order to you know, get momentum. They can't just 316 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: do it, you know, they're not good enough. Yeah, now 317 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: they don't have those. I mean, that was Pittsburgh last 318 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: week too, which had like a double reverse play. It 319 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: was one of their best. To Mike's point, though, like 320 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about an end a round for Dion Branch 321 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: in the four AFC Championship game, in a game that 322 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: they had forty one points. You know, like the Oh 323 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: seven team didn't need trick plays just to break it 324 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: the all time record for points scored, right last year, 325 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: That's how they scored their points. I know, Like, how 326 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: did the nineteen thirty three on them in the opener? 327 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Like that. That was 328 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: the night. Remember we were all like because there was 329 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: some trepidation about where are they going to find the offense? Yeah, 330 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: and in nineteen and then all of a sudden everything 331 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: looked great. That night you had and they had just 332 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: signed Antonio Brown. You're like, we're gonna have him next week? 333 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: Remember that week? Well that was then during the broadcast 334 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: we had we remember they what was the year we 335 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: had we had Gordon that we signed? We had Antonio Brown, 336 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: right and whoever you know, Edelman, Gronk. We were like Thomas, Yeah, 337 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: that was that was later. I don't think Josh Gordon 338 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown didn't overlap, did they didn't they? I mean, 339 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon was here in nineteen. I lost track with 340 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: his suspensions, but I think I don't know if I 341 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: just thought it was eight I thought down the stretch 342 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: of the eighteen season was the year where you got 343 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: suspended and they didn't have him in the playoffs, but 344 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: maybe that they had him at some point in nineteen CTE. 345 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: I think a lot of a lot of like suspensions 346 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: and stuff too final he makes it hard to remember. 347 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: Mac Jones so moment Rhode Island, says Turf toe was 348 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: simply a sprain of the toe. I received this injury 349 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: in my very first indoor soccer game. Uh. It still 350 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: bothers me to this day. The problem is that it 351 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: seems to heal and when I go to plate immediately 352 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: gets reaggravated. I have had knee injuries related to sports, 353 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: and I gotta say the toe injury maybe the most frustrating. Yeah. 354 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: So Paul he was. He was on them, the Patriots 355 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. Then they, I guess 356 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: released him and he went to Seattle. But he had 357 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: three catches in that opener against Pittsburgh, two against Josh Gordon. 358 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: Did Josh Gordon did? Okay? Yeah, I don't remember him 359 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: being at the same time. Oh, I mean I was 360 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: the whole reason why I Am sold a shirt that 361 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: just had the list of all the receivers they had. 362 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: And then I remember, like three days later, I think 363 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: they got rid of him, and then Edelman had to 364 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: send an email to everyone that bought the shirt. I 365 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: was like, I just remember we were in the names. 366 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: We were in Detroit for preseason, I believe when it 367 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: came down and we were all like, oh, this offense, 368 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: good luck. Wait the Antonio Brown thing, I think so, No, 369 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: that was during that I remember that was the night 370 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: because that opener was the Sunday night game al Michaels 371 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: was talking about and Tom Brady is, you know, all excited. 372 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: He's had me going to have him at his house. 373 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: That all came about on the Saturday before the like 374 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: the Sunday night opener or whatever it was. Um was 375 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: it a Thursday night game at the time. Maybe, I 376 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't remember they raised the raised the banner, 377 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: so I don't remember that the time frame, but I 378 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: remember Al Michael specifically talking about Antonio Brown coming, and 379 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: I remember finding out about it on a Saturday because 380 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: I was golfing and it was probably like my last Yeah, 381 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: I was like, oh great, I gotta deal with this 382 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: in every hole and and I remember it was probably 383 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: gonna be my last golfing round of the year, and 384 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: now I got to deal with this guy. But you know, 385 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: fortunately I didn't have to deal with him too much longer. No, 386 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: that was a quick one. Yeah. I also remember when 387 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: we released him, we were all up in the bullpen 388 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: and all that, like just like what happened? That's doness. 389 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: That was a sigh of relief. For me, I just 390 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: do not there at the same time not have to 391 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: deal with that soap opera. Yeah, because he had he 392 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: had gone like nuclear at that point. I think on 393 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: every he had gone nuclear before he got here. Remember 394 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: how he thank you, Alex. Those insane just my favorite 395 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: stories were just the bulleted lists of all the drama 396 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: that took place between him, like freezing, what was the 397 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: thing his feet? And he just showed the way he 398 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: left Pittsburgh, the way he left the Raiders and then 399 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: and and that's why we have believe we took him. 400 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: That's why we have more respect from Mike Tomlin because 401 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: this prop stuff was probably going on there and he 402 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: kept it Underlin look really good. Yeah, he kept it 403 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: on the control. You know. Oh my god. But what 404 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, that's he's another one that gets into the 405 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 1: coffee book. You know, Antonio Brown, what could he he 406 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: agrees with put himself in numbers, but like he could 407 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: have been like one of the all times. He could 408 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: have been one of the all time greats if his 409 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: head was screwed on right, be like Jesus at Red Rocks, Yeah, 410 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: Jesus and the Beatles, all right, five five Pats five 411 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: Night five five Pass five hundred web radio at Patriots 412 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: dot Com. We got our first Uh is it the 413 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: first Amazon game tonight? I believe? So yeah, are you 414 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: guys all set for that? I'm gonna watch I'm gonna 415 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: try to watch it. Um, I'm still uh you know me, 416 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: I don't like to like get locked into two you know, 417 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: And I'm just still wondering, like how I change the 418 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: channel pause? Can't change the channel rights? Invention? A man? 419 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: Is that remote control for the TV? He believes that? 420 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: Was it better than the printing press or anything else 421 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: you can talk to? Yeah? Oh yeah, those are great. Yeah, 422 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: but isn't every remote like that? Now? When you get 423 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: to Amazon Prime, that's just an I well it's I 424 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: think it's an Exfinity thing. Oh um, so you're you're young, Alex. 425 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: So how do I watch the game? Rant? Coming? No? No, 426 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: not a rant. I don't I can't figure it out 427 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: this thing out? How do I? I can't change channels 428 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: right now, like I'm stuck. I'm gonna watch it. I 429 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: have to take a long time, right, like during commercial breaks, 430 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: you can't flip through the channels, right you're saying, no, 431 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: you're entering a third party app. Right, that's there is 432 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: no way around that. Right, I'm not just doing it wrong. 433 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: There's no way around that. Okay. You know, I wish 434 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: they had the thing like you have on your iPhone 435 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: now where you can still watch a video and you 436 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: can scroll social media in the video will just kind 437 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: of staying. You can just flick it around and it'll 438 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: stay playing the whole time. That's one of my favorite 439 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: developments of the iPhone recently. Yeah, I wish I could 440 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: sort of split it and then you know, when the 441 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: commercials over and now I'm gonna go back to the 442 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: game side screen. You need a second screen ahead, watch 443 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: it on the laptop again. Yeah. Or you could be 444 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: like one of the frat boys that you walk into 445 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: like a college kids apartment and they have three televisions 446 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: in the living room. Is that what they do now? Yeah? 447 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: It is, oh boys, and then laptops pause. Living room 448 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: turns into like NASA control. You know he's got it's 449 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: like a sports book. You gonna get me one of 450 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: those green visors. I apologize in advance for Beth to 451 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: planting planning that. Oh no, she'd she'd be all, she'd 452 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: be down for that. She turned her living room into 453 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: like three televisions since she does what I Teleson, Oh yeah, 454 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: I'll bet reverse that. Just kidding me, all right? Um, 455 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: So anything else before we turn it over to the listeners. Uh, 456 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: looking forward to that game, looking forward to talking about 457 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: it this afternoon. It's a good AFC West matchup. How's 458 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: this starting to play out? I'm interested? I mean, Kansas 459 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: City was ridiculous last week. Again. Yeah, I thought there 460 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: were some signs and you know, probably probably talk a 461 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: little bit about the league and large later, but I 462 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: thought there was some Charger like signs again. Like, I 463 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: thought they played a good game. I thought Herbert looked 464 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: great again, and then somehow the end of the game 465 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: they're having to come up with a stop to save 466 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: the win. I thought they were the better team for 467 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the game, but they couldn't put 468 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: it away. Yeah, and Keenan Allen getting a hamstring injury, 469 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: what's that he's part for the course with them? I 470 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: just I think that they're really good. I think the 471 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: Chargers are really good. But there's something missing. And I 472 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: hope that it's not something about Herbert that he's missing, 473 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: Like he's just like one of those stat compilers, and 474 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: not like the ultimate winner, because he wasn't really a 475 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: great winner at Oregon either. I remember watching the game 476 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: when when he first when he first came on my 477 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: radar as a as a top pick. No. I remember 478 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: watching a game early in the year. I think it 479 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: was the last year he was at Oregon against Auburn, 480 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: and Oregon was so much better than Auburn. They just 481 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: they were controlling the game throughout, and sure enough, it 482 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: stayed close enough and they lost it at the end. 483 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: And I hope that's not one of these things that 484 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: he just kind of has, like he doesn't put it 485 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: away for whatever reason. I am a little bit higher 486 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: on the coach read that I think most. I think 487 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: he makes some moves like a lot of guys do 488 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: that that are strange. You know, his propensity to go 489 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: for every fourth down. I don't think that's wise. But 490 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: I think he knows what he's doing in terms of 491 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: putting together a team and x's and nose and stuff 492 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: like that. I think the analytics get away from a 493 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: little bit sometimes, But they should have won that game 494 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: going away. The other day against the Raiders, and the 495 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: Raiders ended up getting the three and l got the 496 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: ball back and they had a chance. Now, give Khalil 497 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: mack all the credit. He destroyed that last drive almost 498 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 1: single handedly. Yeah, I love. I mean that's just all 499 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: the highlights from Herbert too. I mean just there's always 500 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: kicking around Twitter highlights of throws that he made, the 501 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: throw that he made, like down to the right side, 502 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: down the scene. We saw that one live on Red 503 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: Zone during the postgame show, and like me and Mike, 504 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, we weren't all that enraptured 505 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: with what we were talking about at the time, but 506 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: that throw was just sick, yeah, and just so effortless. 507 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, did Josh Allen a few 508 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: years to really get to the next level. I don't think. 509 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Herbert has that like bullish quality of 510 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: as a runner, Like where at Josh Allen is that 511 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: beast running with the ball in his hands. But as 512 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: far as size and ability to deliver it, man, I 513 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: think he's he's right there with with Josh Allen. All Right, 514 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: let's get to the phones. Five five pass five hundred 515 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: is the ace ticket outline.

No, No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm 526 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: saying so like you hold some sort of competition amongst 527 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: the callers and the person that says the best uh 528 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: promo tieing doing their call talking about the game, and 529 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: then maybe at the end of the month or whatever, 530 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: maybe you guys get them like a pro shop I'll 531 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: pro shop Boucher or something like that.

So 538 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: in other words, having a bridge stone contest, you know, 539 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: sponsored by Bridgestone or something. Correct.

It takes a ball bearings all right, 567 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: So sorry, Mike, what's what's your foot YEP? No, My 568 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: comment is I think I mentioned this in the pastile 569 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: four but um as a Patriots fan since the year 570 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: before the exacted Blessed Soo um and all the ways 571 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: to hear, there was always things you could count on. 572 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: You know, you could always count on our QVP, either 573 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: Blessed Soo or Brady to just give us a chance 574 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: at the very end. Um, you could count on our 575 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: the way our team plays, that they will be disciplined, 576 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: it'll be clean, they won't kill our kills themselves with 577 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: either penalties or dumb plays. And then you could always 578 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: rely on the coaching, meaning that we always had a 579 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, an advantage of coaching advantage. But giving the 580 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: last game to us the season and giving this game, 581 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: uh last week. I mean, all of those are off 582 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: of the table other than Patriots unsiltered. Don't we have 583 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: to hold onto Well that's the thing. I mean, but 584 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Like you know, here's the thing 585 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: about the you know, the discipline and being able to 586 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: count on them not killing themselves. Even with Brady, they 587 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: made mistakes. It's just it didn't matter. Now the mistakes matter, 588 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: you know. It seems like they're killing themselves because the 589 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: mistakes do. But they made mistakes with Brady too. There 590 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: are unblocked rushers that creamed him from time to time. 591 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: It happened, they hit Brady, had interceptions. We just you 592 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: have more than pre snap penalties, but they were able 593 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: to overcome them. Yeah, and you had more than two 594 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: drives that you move the ball like, you would move 595 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: the ball five, six, seven times and you would come 596 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: away with four or five scoring drives and you know, 597 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: and maybe you had one was not so it circuited 598 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: because of some pre snap penalties or whatever. But friends, right, 599 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they've made mistakes in the past. I think 600 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: they're probably more penalties that they have. Last game, they 601 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of penalties last game, but they 602 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: were all pre snap penalties, which are the ones that 603 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: they don't generally get. Yeah, they had another you know, 604 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: too many men on the field on defense penalty. Yeah, 605 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: which that happens seemingly once every other game. Outsides Hunter 606 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: Henry with a false start. Yeah, there was three of them, 607 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: but Cody Davis, Cody Cold. That was no should Soon 608 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: as I realized what you were talking about, the quality, 609 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: not the quantity. Yeah, um, okay, let's go to now 610 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: Melvin and Tennessee. Hey, Melvin, sweet kid, I want to 611 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna He is fixating on this bet. 612 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: Melvin is what's on the line. He said that they 613 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: won't win more than six games like normal, and I said, 614 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm over six games. So and Paul, you know me 615 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: so weird because I said that at least get seven. 616 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: So we've been arguing for an hour probably I was 617 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: vone over a game. I talked my people, well, yeah, 618 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, Paul knows me bear. I heard that 619 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: on the post game, So I was like, he knows 620 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: me very well. I've been calling himself ten plus years, 621 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: but he knows that what we were gonna be arguing 622 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: about what are the states? So that's what the argument 623 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: is about. He didn't realize that obviously. That he owes 624 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 1: me one lunch already from he was wrong the cam year. 625 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: But he's just gonna keep talking about whatever he whatever 626 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: he feels, and they're gonna lose all these games. I said, 627 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: I they'll got the Jets, the Bears stink. The Lions 628 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: kind of scamed me a little bit. Cleveland. There's teams 629 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: in there to day. I feel like they're gonna probably 630 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: be but it would be really good for them to 631 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: start two and two. I picked the Stealers and the 632 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: Packers for them to be maybe the ones that I 633 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: feel the most confident about. Um, But I don't know. 634 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: It's a little when you taught me a long time ago, Paul, 635 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: two craft teams, you take the home team. So that's 636 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: why that's why Fred and I are or like, have 637 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: our eyebrows raised over the spread. I mean, not that 638 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: it's an enormous spread or anything. I mean, they're basically 639 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: telling you it could go either way. But I'm a 640 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: little surprised with two teams that are struggling. You know, 641 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: for all the time Pittsburgh's offen stinks Pittsburgh's offen stinks 642 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and they just had a graphic up. Patriots are 643 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, the Steals a twenty sixth and went in 644 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: the first week. There was a difference of four yards. 645 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: Um so, Yeah, both of the offenses a stink. Why 646 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, why is the home team not getting the support? 647 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: So I think they know something? Yeah, it's it's it's 648 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: um so, So I think let's get that stop making. 649 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: I was about the curtain mistake, the mistakes of one 650 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: thing that bring that out of a lot of people 651 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: deal with. I mean it's really weird for but seeing 652 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: this type of team with so many constant dumb mistakes, 653 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: So eliminate those, you might have a shot to beat 654 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: you might, I mean basically gonna get that one of 655 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: last thing I want to say, why I get off 656 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: um it, I'm kind of I'm gonna be tuning into 657 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: this forty nine Ers and the Hawks thing. I like 658 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: for things to blow up, especially on not my team, 659 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: just blow up on other teams. It was gonna be 660 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: pressing for the forty nine is to lose the Geno 661 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: Smith and this whole tray Lance thing. I'm rooting for 662 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: them to lose so bad it's it's gonna be wonderfully 663 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: if they do. I just want them to. I think 664 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be it. It's an interesting thing. I'm folding 665 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: in San Francisco in my opinion. But all right, you 666 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: can't really call yourself a Patriots fan if you're not 667 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: rooting for something really bad to happen to somebody else. 668 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: That's the essence of being a Patriots. One of the 669 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: joys Gino Smith, he just hung on huh like crazy. 670 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: I don't believe he's still even in the league. He 671 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: was drafted to replace Mark Sanchez Like that was so 672 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: so remember seeing him play eight years between week one starts. 673 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Eight years. Wow. I was like Van Winkly 674 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: wakes up and it's like wow. Twenty twenty two, Brian's 675 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: in Maine. Hey Brian, A good afternoon, lady in gentle 676 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: Before I get to my Pittsburgh point, I wanted to 677 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: compliment Alexandra for the article she wrote about the Blue 678 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: Hills Boys and Girls Club with one of the Patriots, 679 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: David Gelboeah okay, yeah. It was a very good article, 680 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: and it prompted me to send off a small contribution 681 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: just building Bridges Alex. They're doing great work over there. 682 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: I was amazed by everything they're doing for the kids. 683 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: It's so cool. The head of recording studio at that 684 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: Boys and Girls club like a whole music room with 685 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: drums and like they're kids like in the booth recording music. 686 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: I thought, we think it can be in there. Wonderful 687 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: he could record his next album available. Well, that's nice 688 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: of you to say that, Brian. Well, the two people 689 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: that you've hired through this big bump, I think have 690 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: made it a smooth transition. I've been listening for a 691 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: couple of years and have insomnia, so I listened to 692 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: them over and over. I wanted to encourage my fellow 693 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: listeners to read some of the articles. It prompted me 694 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 1: to go on, thank you, Do you read my articles 695 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: to put yourself to sleep? That's why I took out 696 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's unfiltered to go to sleep? Can I tell 697 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: you don't twist my words. I'm just teasing. This is 698 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: one of the nicest calls we've gotten. We don't usually 699 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: get nice calls like this. Well, I appreciate I may 700 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: have missed this in the first minute, and they have, 701 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: but I would think the Patriots would have a much 702 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: easier time to plan their offense with J. J. Watts out. 703 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: That has to be a big thing to not have 704 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: to worry about. Dude, I was wondering what you think 705 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I think it's it can't be ignored. 706 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: It's the number one thing for any opposing offense would 707 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: be to worry about T. J. Watt playing Pittsburgh. And 708 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: then the numbers back it up. I mean, he's missed 709 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: periodic games over the years, and I think it's something 710 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: like four or five less quarterback pressures when he's not playing. 711 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: They allow, on average about seventy or eighty more yards 712 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: when he's not playing. They don't win obviously as often 713 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: when he doesn't play. It's a it's a huge, huge 714 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: break for the page. He's not to have to worry 715 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: about the rating, big deal. I think I attended the 716 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: first Patriots game in nineteen sixty at Bracefield, and I've 717 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: been a fan since. So good team of bad. I'm 718 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: always rooting for them and never Tampa Day. Oh did 719 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: you get Did Fred give you his tickets to that game? 720 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: Is that how you got there? I haven't been there 721 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: since it was Sullivan Stadium, right, I moved up to me. 722 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks a lot, Bryan, appreciate the call. 723 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian. Yeah, nice stuff, Alex, good job Alex. 724 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: People raising money putting money on him. That more can 725 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: you ask for? Yeah? And your checking Yeah right, Josh 726 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: is in Dallas. What's up everyone? Thanks for having me 727 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: on a long time, first time, all that good stuff. 728 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: I'll be quick and take it off line, but I 729 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: just wanted to get y'all thoughts on after seeing just 730 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: the way that the offense performed this past weekend, it 731 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: was felt like a lot of the same to me 732 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 1: as last year, even with the addition of nikkiel Parker. 733 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: As Paul likes to say, um, I just think we 734 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about a lot in the offseason, 735 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,240 Speaker 1: but to Fred's point that he always says, this offense 736 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: seems easy to defend, there's no true wide receiver one 737 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: that we've we've talked about all offseason and even last offseason. 738 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: So I wanted to see if you guys thought that 739 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: they would go out and maybe splurge a little bit 740 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: and get a true wide receiver one. I just don't 741 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: feel like after watching some of the other games on Sundays. 742 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: You know, Burrows got the ball with ninety seconds less. 743 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,959 Speaker 1: Everyone in the stadium knows he's going to Jamar Chase, 744 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: and there's some some other players in the league dislike that. 745 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: So um, I just feel like that's kind of the 746 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: missing piece that we have because when we have the 747 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: ball with I need ninety seconds, like like Burrowwood, I 748 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: didn't have any confidence that we'd be able to march 749 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 1: down the field and put some some points one on board. 750 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: And the last thing I'll add is Freddy. I just 751 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: wanted to point out that the Rams didn't force the 752 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: Bills to point last Thursday, So right, I think McVeigh 753 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: and might be And yeah, even with Donald and of 754 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: course they did force four turnovers the secondary digress. Maybe 755 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: they're pretty good those Bills. All right, thanks Josh, appreciate it. Yeah, 756 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: I have d sent me that right after the game. 757 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: He's like, the Bills didn't punt again. I go, they 758 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: did turn it over four times, though, I mean, there 759 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,479 Speaker 1: is a difference. Didn't even Matt, Yeah, it didn't seem 760 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,439 Speaker 1: the same. It didn't. It didn't have to be honest, 761 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: didn't it seem the same because all the turnovers just 762 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: seemed to like interrupt the drive right right, start over, 763 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: just turn one over? What are you gonna do? Yeah? 764 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: What was his questions? Wide Receiver one. I think next year, 765 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they splurge and spend a 766 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: little money on a guy who was a true wr one. 767 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: As they said, I need to know what happens the 768 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: rest of the year with Thorty. Yeah, you know, if 769 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: he counts back and shows, you know that, you know 770 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: a lot of promise, then you know, maybe they don't 771 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: necessarily go that way. Yeah, I would be surprised if 772 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: they splurged at that spot. I think they could do 773 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 1: again what they did last year and get a couple 774 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: of the middle tier kind of guys. Yeah, I mean 775 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: I I like that. I like that style. I mean, 776 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: I just are they gonna have a top ten pack? 777 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: Are they gonna have to pick a receiver? I don't 778 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: think so. Are they gonna go splurge and grab somebody 779 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: else's in free agency? I mean, I just I just 780 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: don't see them doing that. I don't either, you know, 781 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: And I mean I look kind of I was looking 782 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of at Baltimore, and it feels 783 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: like they're kind of doing what we wanted in that 784 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: one game at a time, but drafting a lot of 785 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: those Day two receivers that we liked, you know, like 786 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: Devin Duverney, like all these names that you're like, Oh, 787 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: these guys kind of fast. James Prochet another one, you know, 788 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: like these sometimes connected to the pat I think he 789 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: was Southern Mississippi. Perhaps. I do like Texas, no question. 790 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: They probably have issues right now with their weaponry and 791 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: all that um tight end base, but you know, I 792 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: like that, and I don't know what we're gonna need 793 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: after the season, Like there's so many potential things I 794 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: could be banging the table for we If we don't 795 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: get a tackle, Mac Jones ain't gonna make it to 796 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: your four, so that could be something consider as well. 797 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: Just looking over the shoulder here, there's a report evidently 798 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: Mac Jones will not be practicing today due to an illness. 799 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: Oh that's I see it on the banner here on 800 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: the Sports Hub. But it's citing a report, so I'm 801 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: not sure who's reporting that. If it's Mike Reese or 802 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: Jim McBride or Tom Curran, Phil Perry, those guys, I 803 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: would take it to the said. Mike Rees says, according 804 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: to the Patriots, so perhaps okay, notified, it's not a 805 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: reportead of time. Okay. So not practicing due to an 806 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: illness not good, not good at all because he looked 807 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 1: okay yesterday. Of that, I don't know how he Like 808 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 1: everyone there at practice, I was so but this is 809 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: like you like to get a field for things. So 810 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: Mike and I were like on Twitter and it's like 811 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: everybody says, Max moving around great, you know, Evan comes in, 812 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: he goes, but we didn't really get a chance to 813 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: see any anybody do anything. They didn't get a chance 814 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: to move around. So we're like, now, I don't know what, Like, 815 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,359 Speaker 1: how was he moving right? Like everybody saw him out there, 816 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,439 Speaker 1: so they just assumed he was moving well. And Evan says, 817 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: like they didn't really really well, whether it's a cold 818 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: or whatever. Not practicing before the game, it's not good. No, 819 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: you know, no, missing practice time is not not good. 820 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 1: And it's a whole new world with illness. Oh what 821 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: are we doing? What are we doing? I got a 822 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: headache now, this is bothering me. I just hope it 823 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: is an illness if that's why he's not practicing and 824 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: not the COVID. The back I know Evan back one day, 825 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't have gone up and give him back that kiss. 826 00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: I guess that's Fritz, that's and stuff. So I mean, 827 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: let's can we can we talk for a second though, 828 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: because some people I've seen questions of like, well, Bailey's appy, 829 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: well could you? I mean it'd be it would be 830 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: Brian hoy right, we can put to bed Bailey's appy 831 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: getting getting a shot? Why? I think it would would 832 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: be the guy like that's not even a I mean 833 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: Bailey's I mean, come on, what happened? People are asking? 834 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: I feel like, fine, four fifteen, he would look fine, 835 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 1: comes quick? What's poisoning sushi? Who knows? Well? I hope 836 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: that's it because that can get I don't know, everything 837 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 1: comes out. Actually that's great, you know bad. But if 838 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 1: it's like COVID or something else, that's not good. That's 839 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: a tough one. Uh yeah, not good, Bob, What is 840 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:56,399 Speaker 1: it not good? I mean he's at least missing today, right, 841 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: you know? I mean yeah, I mean it's alright today 842 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: then yesterday, because I think Wednesday is the more important day. 843 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: But it's not like to Fred's point, it's not good, 844 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: I believe, ideal, just quick aside I think it is. 845 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: It usually practice first second down, Wednesday's third day, Thursdays Wednesday, 846 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: that's when they figure out what they're doing that. I 847 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: was a little surprised they were in pads yesterday, right, 848 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: well if they usually in pads on the web, but 849 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: they moved that, wasn't it? Like Mike, it's become very sporadic. 850 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: And I know it's usually only one a week, right, 851 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: and then some weeks they don't because once you get 852 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: into what is it like eleven and fourteen weeks or 853 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,879 Speaker 1: something like that, right, right, it's they got to pick 854 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: their spots with him. But it seemed like, I mean, 855 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, last year, it was more more 856 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the because it you should always 857 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 1: be Wednesday. But then I thought they changed it to 858 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 1: thumping Thursday or something like that. I don't know, but yeah, man, yeah, 859 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 1: well I guess we got to watch out too if 860 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: if anybody else pops up with an illness. One other 861 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say too, is, you know, I 862 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,320 Speaker 1: think Brian Hoyer must have a really interesting perspective on 863 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 1: this whole offensive change, just because he's been around the league, 864 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: he's been in different offenses. He's played for a number 865 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 1: of different teams. He's played in the offense. We're trying 866 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: to mimic like supposedly, you know, like, but I'd just 867 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: be curious that might be maybe something to talk chat 868 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: with him about just what's his perspective. Well, I think 869 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: it's funny how he's such a sounding board for Mac 870 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 1: Jones and that was where he went after the game. 871 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,760 Speaker 1: During the game, Alex, you had said that you noticed 872 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: that too, right on the sideline being there alive. I 873 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: just think he's talked, and I know I've talked to 874 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: Mike Reese about this, and Mike is pretty tight with 875 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer, and he Hoyder has told him like unequivocally 876 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: he has no interest whatsoever in coaching, but yet he 877 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: certainly fills that sort of mentor kind of a role. Now, 878 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of that is X's and knows, 879 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: and how much of that is, you know, just being 880 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: a sounding board, you know, to you know, this is 881 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: what I saw? What did you see from over here? 882 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing which you know, rare, 883 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: but no disrespect intended. I think Brian Hoyter's knowing what 884 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: he sees from the sideline more than Matt Patrician and 885 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: Joe Judge. At this stage of an you know, from 886 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: the offensive side, Matt patricia is used to looking at 887 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: things from the other side. Number one and number two, 888 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: He's got to focus on the offensive line, which is 889 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: an important job. Yeah, as we've seen, Yeah, yeah, is 890 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: this a must win? No, in terms of what I mean, 891 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: it really isn't. Like that's my question because I usually 892 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 1: we talk about must win. It's like, well, playoffs, That's 893 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: what I don't mean by the definition of the term. 894 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: It's obviously not a must win. I think it's at 895 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: this season's going to go off the rails if they 896 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 1: lose this one. It's a confident standpoint. I think I 897 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 1: think the season could go off, go off the rails 898 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: if they lose them, because then you get Baltimore coming 899 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 1: in at home and well, like to your point, Fred 900 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: the like, Matt can't keep saying like, no, we're gonna 901 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 1: get it now, We're gonna get like every week, like 902 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: it's at some point, at some point he'll start to 903 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 1: hesitate whenn't Jeremy shap Channel, pat Riley Oh yeah, it's 904 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: a little bit like that Salton Pepper pulled back. Looks good. 905 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: Bill has an email that he had to get this 906 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: off his chest. He says, I've listened to since oh seven, 907 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 1: heard every show since then. Don't email much work during 908 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: the show, can't call live. I wanted to respond to 909 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: all the Belichick hate slash coordinator nonsense. I hope you 910 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 1: read my email. You drove me to it, he said one. 911 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: Patricia and Judge are good coaches, not the retread fired 912 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: losers you guys make them out to be. They were 913 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 1: both such great coordinators that they were hired at other programs. 914 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,959 Speaker 1: Did you forget that they weren't such hot commodities because 915 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: they don't know how to coach? Yes, they got fired, 916 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,839 Speaker 1: were unsuccessful as head coaches. Yeah so our most first 917 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 1: time head coaches. Right. McDaniels was fired, retread loser head 918 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: coach as well. Remember he came back and did a 919 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 1: great job. Oh and by the way, he started on 920 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: defense and special teams as well, and seems like he 921 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: figured it out. They are good coaches, have the most 922 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: experienced coaching staff in the damn league. Stop trashing them. 923 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 1: Number two? Can we stop after number one take them individually, Well, sure, 924 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: if you want to. Does that mean every guy who 925 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,719 Speaker 1: was ever a coordinator becomes a head coach they're all 926 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: good coaches? No, but he's saying is not every you know, No, 927 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 1: he said that that they were successful coaches, otherwise they 928 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't have gotten head coaching jobs. But he should we 929 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: talk about guys that we think are bad coaches. But 930 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: he's also saying that because they weren't unsuccessful, because they 931 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: weren't successful as head coaches, doesn't mean that they're bad coaches. Okay, 932 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 1: so like as rich coach had a good coach, No, 933 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,760 Speaker 1: he's one that isn't. So how do you draw the line. 934 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: But he's saying that everyone like this nine thousand guys 935 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: that became head coaches that couldn't do it. They were 936 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,720 Speaker 1: all successful coordinators, right, or they would have never gotten 937 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:51,319 Speaker 1: their jobs. Right. But what he's saying is now he's 938 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: saying because they were hired as a Patriots coordinator makes 939 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 1: them a good coach. That's what he said. Most most 940 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: failed head coaches when they come back are pretty good coaches, 941 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: not head coaches. And I'm I'm asking you based on 942 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: what well they don't fail in their in their second job, 943 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, not as head coach. But going back, Okay, 944 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue the semantics of it, but anyway, 945 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 1: just to just say that he's a good coach because 946 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: he was a Patriots coach is silly. But that's what 947 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: he's saying. They were hired as Patriots coaches and that's 948 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: why they're good. That's what he said. You can read it, 949 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 1: and that's that's what he's telling you. No, I don't 950 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 1: think so. I don't think. I think they achieved. They 951 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: achieved the level of a head coach based on their 952 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: work with the Patriots. That's what he said, based on 953 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 1: their work with the Patriots. Well, it happened. All the 954 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: guys that achieved level of head coach that were coordinated 955 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 1: to somewhere else, they might not have been good coaches, 956 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: They just might have gotten the job. Well, who said that, Like, 957 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: how didn't do what? He didn't say that? How did 958 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: Eric Mania? But that's not what this guy just said, 959 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: though it is what he said. I heard what he said. No, 960 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: it's not that's not what he said. And I just 961 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 1: hate the guy who can't accept the fact that it's 962 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 1: unconventional to take a defensive coach and make him an 963 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 1: offensive assistant. Well, that's a that's a that can't stand that. 964 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: That's a you can't accept the fact that that's odd 965 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 1: in causing problems. You're not paying attention that. That's another story. 966 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,439 Speaker 1: That's another story. Number two on the Belichick verse TV 967 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: twelve bit was was his offense the one that won 968 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: us last Super Bowl? Or was it Belichick in the 969 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,800 Speaker 1: defense Tom didn't do crap offense? Belichick took the Patriots 970 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year with a freaking rookie and 971 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: went ten and six with Castle. He freaking led the 972 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: Browns to the playoffs once out of five years. Do 973 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: you I mean, do you need to have his records 974 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: spit back at you? Well, I can also you know 975 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: the context of those five years, Paul, that was a 976 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 1: pretty bad ten games below five hundred nine years. I 977 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: mean the last year was the carpet was thrown out 978 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 1: from under his feet. I mean it was a bad situation. 979 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: I mean, if he had more stable loan of ship, um, 980 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: I think he would have been fine at Cleveland. Well, 981 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 1: I mean he's I mean, he's an example. Just make 982 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 1: stuff up too. I mean, my my brain just goes 983 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: to Adam Gase. He's a failed head coach, but he's 984 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 1: an experienced offensive coordinator, and I think if he was 985 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: here coordinating the offense, it wouldn't be the same. What 986 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,280 Speaker 1: the hell is this? No, everybody would say he's terrible 987 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: because he was a terrible head coach. Correct. No, Yes, 988 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 1: that's not what this guy's saying. I think a lot 989 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: of that's what he is say. No, he's saying he'd 990 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: be good. Yeah, because the Patriots hired him. That's what 991 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 1: he was saying. Words in his mouth, missed a straw man, 992 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,800 Speaker 1: that's what he would say. You're putting words in his 993 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm not putting words in his mouth. That's what he's saying. Okay, 994 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,839 Speaker 1: I mean listen, that's what you're that's what you're reading 995 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,320 Speaker 1: in summarizes email. The Patriots did it, so it's good. No, 996 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 1: that's his email in a nutshell. No, that's like Tom 997 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: Brady didn't do anything in twenty eighteen. You are they 998 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 1: didn't have They didn't get to a Super Bowl because 999 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: of offen You are reading into it when they're in 1000 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,319 Speaker 1: Kansas City in overtime having to score thirty seven points 1001 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 1: to get to the Superowl is it was defense that 1002 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 1: won that Superowl is given Now now he's onto another thing. 1003 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: That was his second point. He is giving credit to 1004 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: anybody who rises to the level of being offered a 1005 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: head coaching. No, he's anybody who ever rose to the 1006 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 1: level of being with the Patriots organization in twenty twenty two. 1007 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,359 Speaker 1: I don't think that's what he's given credits. You're reading 1008 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: into that, Fred, reread number two. You read reread point 1009 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 1: number two. Point number two is a separate issue, right, 1010 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: so re read it. Okay, But but that's not what 1011 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 1: we're talking about. When we talked about head coaches being 1012 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, that was point number one. I already made 1013 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 1: my archie for that. I've moved on to number two, okay, 1014 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,399 Speaker 1: So I just want to make sure that that I've 1015 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 1: moved on to number two. The Patriots offense didn't do 1016 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: anything in twenty eighteen. Yeah, Tom Brady two for three 1017 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards against the Chargers and three hundred 1018 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 1: fifty yards against the Chiefs, he said, and they lose 1019 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: both games if he doesn't do that, he says, And 1020 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with that, by the way, But 1021 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 1: they had one game where the offense didn't score points 1022 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 1: and it happened to be the Super Bowl, and suddenly 1023 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: defense want to say I agree with that. I think 1024 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: it's it's bad. And Brady was still here. This guy 1025 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 1: would not say that I agree with that. That, Um, yes, 1026 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: you can't discount what the offense did. Brady was still here. 1027 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,520 Speaker 1: In Belichick had left, it would have been about Brady, 1028 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 1: not Belichick. Wow, this guy is as I don't know, 1029 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: but I'll read it again. He says on the Belichick 1030 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:23,360 Speaker 1: versus TB twelve bit was it his offense? Was it 1031 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,239 Speaker 1: the offense that won us the last Super Bowl? Or 1032 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,359 Speaker 1: was it BB in the defense? And I would say offense, Yeah, 1033 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,280 Speaker 1: the offense got us there. No. BB took the Patriots 1034 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,880 Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year with a freaking rookie and 1035 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: went ten and six with Castle. You skipped a line 1036 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: he said, Tom didn't do crap. Thank you. He meant 1037 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. And I disagree with that too. 1038 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,359 Speaker 1: They don't win the Super Bowl without Brady. Of course, 1039 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,359 Speaker 1: of course got leading up to it that, No, they 1040 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,879 Speaker 1: don't win the Super Bowl game without Brady. But even 1041 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 1: if you say, like the offense did nothing, you know 1042 00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 1: by the stats you can say that. But they wouldn't 1043 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 1: be there without time. And you've also said many times 1044 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 1: that you were never worried about that game while the 1045 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: game was going on. It's true a comment by the 1046 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: way that I happened to agree with. Yeah, I agree, 1047 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: And why didn't you worry about it? Because we had 1048 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: the great defense, because we had Tom Brady and they 1049 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 1: had Jared Gard and I just that's why I didn't 1050 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: worry about it. I just at the time, I still 1051 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 1: had the feeling for the league. That is true, And 1052 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 1: and you know what, I have to defend Fred. He 1053 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,959 Speaker 1: used to still have the feeling for the league until 1054 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: last week three on Belichick the GM. Yes, he has 1055 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 1: missed so of others. The Raiders missed their last three 1056 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: first round picks. He also drafted Brady, Brady, Gron, Hernanda's 1057 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 1: High Tower, Chandler Jones Man can see more, Mayor Mayo, Edelman, White, 1058 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: Verene Chung, Devin Freakin, mccordy. Do you want to contrast 1059 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: that with someone you consider a good GM. I would 1060 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 1: put that record against anyone you got. He has drafted 1061 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 1: more impact players than anyone. They all don't work out, 1062 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 1: and you need to be honest about all of its success. 1063 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: In this area. How about percentages instead of amount because 1064 00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 1: he's been around for twenty three years, so he's drafted 1065 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: more players than everybody else too. Ps. I remember the 1066 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 1: post draft PFW where you guys talked mad crap on 1067 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: the mccordy pick and called him a special teamer. Guess 1068 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: you were wrong. That's not true. I think it's not true. 1069 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: I remember that we were wrong. No, we weren't. Yeah, 1070 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 1: Bill called him a four down player and people took 1071 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: that as that he was a special teamer, right, and 1072 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 1: we defended Bill by saying that's not what he meant. Yeah, 1073 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: that's right, that's what happened. I do remember like people 1074 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: criticizing that pick. I do, yes, I remember, it just 1075 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: wasn't us. Yeah. Was she killed it? She killed the pick. 1076 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 1: I remember it very well because I was really adamant 1077 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: about it because he was picked exactly where he was 1078 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: slated to go, and everybody said another Rutger's reach. Everybody 1079 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,800 Speaker 1: said it, and I was like, no, we do a 1080 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: lot of draft preparation, right, that's exactly where Devin mccordy 1081 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,800 Speaker 1: was supposed to go late first early second round, and 1082 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: everybody was all over and they picked a gunner in 1083 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,959 Speaker 1: the first round. That's not what Bill said. He said 1084 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,200 Speaker 1: he can play on all four downs. That doesn't mean 1085 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,840 Speaker 1: he's a special teamer. That means he's a defensive player 1086 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,359 Speaker 1: who has the ability to play on special teams. There's 1087 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 1: a difference. All Right, We're gonna take a break so 1088 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 1: Paul can eat. Yes, Because he used up a lot 1089 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 1: of energy there. I want to make sure after the 1090 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 1: break he's still got that energy, so we'll be right back. 1091 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 1: I want to get into the game, get coached up. 1092 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: At Dean College, equipped with exclusive academic partnerships featuring the Patriots, Revolution, 1093 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: Providence Bruins, Summer baseball, and more, our classrooms were set 1094 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 1: up for success by learning directly from the pros.

And as we were standing there, we 1291 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 1: were told to tweet that Mac was not going to 1292 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,560 Speaker 1: be at practice before we went into practice, which is 1293 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 1: usually a non tweeting time of the covering of practice, 1294 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,600 Speaker 1: and we were told that he was not going to 1295 01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: be at practice due to an illness. Tom Pelocero later 1296 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,840 Speaker 1: reported that it is a stomach bug of some sort, 1297 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 1: upset stomach and Mac was not out there sure enough. 1298 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Tell me interesting, I mean, you're missing Thursday before a game. 1299 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,120 Speaker 1: Can't be good, you know, I imagine. I mean, I 1300 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,920 Speaker 1: have respect for Max's toughness. I probably think it's some 1301 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: significant he's probably yeah, I can't believe all the haze 1302 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 1: in the barn as they say, No, definitely not now. 1303 01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 1: Usually Thursday is a big third down day for them, 1304 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 1: where they go into the third down install and get 1305 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 1: into some of the different things that they're going to 1306 01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 1: see from the game plan. And that's a huge day 1307 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 1: for preparation, of course, because really on first and second down, 1308 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: for the most part, you're just kind of running your 1309 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 1: offense and calling plays that you think my work against 1310 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 1: the coverage, but it's not necessarily anything very hyper specific 1311 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 1: to what the opponent is doing. But on third down, 1312 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: especially with Brian Flores now in Pittsburgh, you know you're 1313 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 1: going to get some pressure looks. You know you might 1314 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 1: get some zeros. There's some different things that he's going 1315 01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 1: to throw at the Patriots like Miami did last week, 1316 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 1: and from a pressure standpoint, and that all usually comes 1317 01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 1: on third down situations. So third down big day on 1318 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:38,200 Speaker 1: Thursday for practice. Friday's usually red zone installing, you know, 1319 01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: just kind of final preparations and final tweaks and stuff 1320 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 1: like that. So there is a big practice to miss. Yeah, 1321 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,760 Speaker 1: I wonder if Saturday walkthrough has more urgency now that 1322 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,799 Speaker 1: they use this form makeup time. But anyway, I assume 1323 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,639 Speaker 1: they weren't in pads today, is that correct? They were 1324 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 1: not in pads today, Shorts and shells type of look 1325 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,679 Speaker 1: to practice in turn of that, So I don't think 1326 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,320 Speaker 1: that it changes much for everybody else because Brian Hoyer 1327 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 1: is probably going to run the first team offense, you 1328 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,679 Speaker 1: would think, and they're going to run what they would 1329 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 1: have ran if Mac was out there, So it's not 1330 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 1: like that really changes for the other ten guys on 1331 01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:18,719 Speaker 1: the field. And I'm sure that Mac, whether it's virtual 1332 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 1: or he's physically here, can still do the meetings after 1333 01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: practice and still get into the tape study and stuff 1334 01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 1: like that. Other than Mac, who wasn't available, everybody else 1335 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,679 Speaker 1: was there from the fifty three man roster. Juan Bentley 1336 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,719 Speaker 1: was there. They said that he was a DMP yesterday 1337 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,240 Speaker 1: with that toe injury. Adrian Phillips continues to be at practice, 1338 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 1: so from what's been reported in the fact that he's 1339 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:43,720 Speaker 1: been out there the last two days. It sounds like 1340 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:47,080 Speaker 1: Phillips avoided a severe injury when it looked a little 1341 01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 1: bit dicey there when he was on the field laying 1342 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,880 Speaker 1: on the field against Miami. They're still missing three guys 1343 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 1: from the practice squad at Bill Murray to Cameron mcgron 1344 01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 1: and Lebrin Ray today. Mcgron and Lebrin Ray didn't practice 1345 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:03,679 Speaker 1: yesterday either, and Cameron mcgron hasn't practiced in a couple 1346 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,640 Speaker 1: of weeks. If I'm not mistaken, he's been absent a 1347 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 1: little bit for a while now, so I don't know 1348 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 1: what's going on with him either. But they're practice squad 1349 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,840 Speaker 1: down three guys right now. Another one of the normal 1350 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:20,640 Speaker 1: practice questions we asked so that you're media contingent. Was 1351 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 1: it a large one or a small one or what 1352 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 1: would you say, normal normal, normal amount of media. I 1353 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 1: would say the group that was initially informed of max 1354 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: absence before practice was a little bit on the smaller side. 1355 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,799 Speaker 1: Some later rivals. I'm not going to call out anybody 1356 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,760 Speaker 1: by name, but but some how did you know some 1357 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,680 Speaker 1: late some later rivals. But for the most part, it 1358 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:45,640 Speaker 1: was about the same as it usually and in the 1359 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: mood of the team. Could you detect a certain mood 1360 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:52,680 Speaker 1: out there? It's okay if you say no, but find 1361 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 1: some good adjectives. Honestly, they still still seem pretty loose, 1362 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 1: which I think is a good thing. Jonathan Jones was 1363 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 1: dancing out there with Matt june on a little bit 1364 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,719 Speaker 1: from what we saw. You like when you see some dancing, 1365 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,680 Speaker 1: like when you see some energy. I did. I did 1366 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,439 Speaker 1: watch Kendrick Borden a little bit to see because he's 1367 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 1: one of those guys that always love to dance, or 1368 01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 1: you know, Cam was here. He was big into that 1369 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:19,840 Speaker 1: too during training camp with Cam and they would dance 1370 01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 1: during stretching and get into it and stuff like that. 1371 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,720 Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily not to like go on a 1372 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 1: whole conspiracy of Kendrick boorn uh here, but I don't 1373 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 1: necessarily see him popping around as much as he used to, 1374 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,760 Speaker 1: which is a little bit interesting. Yeah, because you know, 1375 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,000 Speaker 1: we we actually we see so little a practice. I 1376 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 1: need to know all these other things, you know. You know, 1377 01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:42,439 Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, how did they look on 1378 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,120 Speaker 1: third down situational plays? You know, so Mike and I 1379 01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 1: dropped the ball yesterday. We didn't ask the Fred Staples, 1380 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and Fred was very upset with us, disappointed him myself. Yeah, 1381 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,320 Speaker 1: we talked about it later. We talked. Didn't even ask 1382 01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:59,759 Speaker 1: him all the pertinent questions Mood had. Who was media? 1383 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:04,519 Speaker 1: What the movie? Right? I will say Jack Jones against 1384 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,600 Speaker 1: Air It was actually against one of those pads that 1385 01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 1: they try to whack the guys with to kind of 1386 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 1: simulate that it's a receiver going up against spectacular one 1387 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 1: handed catch. There we go, girls, It was actually a 1388 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,639 Speaker 1: pretty sick catch. I will say. So there's a coming 1389 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:24,800 Speaker 1: for you. There's a highlight for you, all right. So, um, 1390 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:27,000 Speaker 1: this is a development, though, I wonder if it's going 1391 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,880 Speaker 1: to do anything to the spread. It's gone up. It's 1392 01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,960 Speaker 1: gone up, so max out. We get from one and 1393 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 1: a half to two. So now we're favored by two 1394 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,760 Speaker 1: on ESPN. I just saw on the scroll it said 1395 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:40,400 Speaker 1: minus two, so it's probably different places, different number. Is 1396 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: that weird to you? The spread? Patriots minus two. I 1397 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 1: will say that the Steelers offensive performance got overshadowed by 1398 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: how great their defense was. The Steeler's offense was terrible 1399 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday against Cincinnati. A lot of their points came 1400 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,560 Speaker 1: in drives. It started in plus territory or started it 1401 01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 1: with great in the Patriots. Yeah, yeah, it had great feel. 1402 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Patriots. Who's saying that the Patriots 1403 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,880 Speaker 1: offense was good last but everybody's saying Pittsburgh's offense is abysmal. Yeah, 1404 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,840 Speaker 1: like Trubisky was awful. They stay. I agree, by the way, 1405 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:18,879 Speaker 1: hand up in the back. I agree, But the Patriots 1406 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:23,439 Speaker 1: were the same and favored. Do you think the Patriots 1407 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 1: defense is the same as Pittsburghs. I don't know. I don't. 1408 01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. Depends on how they play without t J. Watt, right, 1409 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know how the Steelers are going 1410 01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:32,680 Speaker 1: to make up for that loss. I think a lot 1411 01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,800 Speaker 1: of the things that they did against Cincinnati they're really 1412 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 1: only rushing four or five guys at a time because 1413 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,720 Speaker 1: they're playing a ton of zone coverage zone zone. There 1414 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 1: are blit zones and things like that, obviously, but you 1415 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,280 Speaker 1: don't want to take too many guys out of zone 1416 01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,720 Speaker 1: coverage because you're trying to cover space with defenders in 1417 01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 1: the back end. So they had a lot more four 1418 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,479 Speaker 1: or five man rushes and you might expect, and I 1419 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,920 Speaker 1: think a lot of those get home because a lot 1420 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 1: of eyes are on t J. Watt and now that 1421 01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:02,240 Speaker 1: isn't out there. How does that at distribution look and 1422 01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,479 Speaker 1: is there really as much of a stretch? You know, 1423 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:06,760 Speaker 1: Alex Hi Smith had a really good game for them 1424 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 1: last week, but he's on the other side of t J. 1425 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 1: Watt rushing off the edge, so all the pressure is 1426 01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 1: going over or all the you know, blocking is going 1427 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:18,040 Speaker 1: over to Watt. Cameron Hayward is always spectacular. He had 1428 01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: another good game against the Bengals, and he's just like 1429 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,680 Speaker 1: an ageless wonder. It doesn't matter how old that guy is, 1430 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,919 Speaker 1: so he's going to get after the quarterback on the interior. 1431 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,640 Speaker 1: But you wonder about some of the edge pressure that 1432 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,240 Speaker 1: they were able to generate against the Bengals and how 1433 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,639 Speaker 1: much of that was really because all the protections sliding 1434 01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:35,280 Speaker 1: over to t J. Watt And now they're not going 1435 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 1: to have to do that. Yeah. Yeah, Hayward on Cole Strange. 1436 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,479 Speaker 1: That's that's one to watch. I think I think that 1437 01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,360 Speaker 1: was one of my matchups. Yeah, Yeah, I think that's 1438 01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 1: a Yeah, that's a good one. He's got to hold 1439 01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 1: hold up. Good matchup. Hayward on Cole Strange, Well, I had, 1440 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: uh you know, Hayward and the other guy who's their 1441 01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 1: uh nose tackle, Tyson. I said, they're those two guys 1442 01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 1: against our interior line. Yeah, you know, that's the game 1443 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 1: to me, honestly, because Cameron Hayward five quarterback pressures, sacked 1444 01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,080 Speaker 1: two QB hits in that game against Cincinnati. He's a 1445 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,479 Speaker 1: spectacular player. And the Patriots have had some trouble with 1446 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:16,400 Speaker 1: interior pressure, not just picking up guys, but also handling 1447 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 1: different things on the interior and getting two bodies on 1448 01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,559 Speaker 1: some of those situations as well. And I do worry 1449 01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 1: about Cameron Hayward against Cole Strange. It's Cole Strange's second 1450 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,720 Speaker 1: career game in the NFL against one of the best 1451 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:32,040 Speaker 1: interior pass rushers of the last decade. That's a mismatch 1452 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh. And on top of that, Cincinnati was really 1453 01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,200 Speaker 1: unable to run the ball at all on the Steeler 1454 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,719 Speaker 1: front as well. And as much as t J. Watts 1455 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 1: a factor and that the interior guys, there was not 1456 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,640 Speaker 1: a lot of push on the inside that they were 1457 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback. And you know, and Watt and 1458 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: high Smith are coming off the edge and Burrows trying 1459 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,800 Speaker 1: to step up there's no place to step up into 1460 01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 1: because those guys are pushing the pocket in the middle. 1461 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,760 Speaker 1: So Paul, if cole Strange has a good game, what 1462 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 1: will be the reason why that's not a big deal. Oh, 1463 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,040 Speaker 1: I think that would be a good Okay, I think 1464 01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm just making it well. I know you would like 1465 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,360 Speaker 1: friends patting himself on the back for being cerebral with 1466 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 1: his little matchup. I think the key to the game 1467 01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:12,960 Speaker 1: is the play of the offensive line. Like you have 1468 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,920 Speaker 1: to protect the passer better than you have throughout the preseason. 1469 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,639 Speaker 1: In the first regular season game, I think both offensive 1470 01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:24,240 Speaker 1: lines have been really bad, Pittsburgh's and the Patriots. Which 1471 01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,439 Speaker 1: one plays better on Sunday It might be as simple 1472 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: as that. If you the offensive line that plays better 1473 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,200 Speaker 1: might win. Yeah, it could be as simple as that. Yeah. 1474 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:33,759 Speaker 1: Like I saw some of the Trabisky on Pro Football 1475 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,880 Speaker 1: Talk talking about Flora has given him some insight into, 1476 01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, potentially what the Patriots defense might do. But 1477 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:40,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about you haven't, but like 1478 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't want to look like a Patriots defense obviously Pittsburgh. 1479 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:46,320 Speaker 1: It's just an interesting influence to have Flores there. I 1480 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:47,840 Speaker 1: think he kind of touched on a little bit with 1481 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, maybe throwing some of the secondary blitzes. But 1482 01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 1: they blit blitz the crap out of Mac last year 1483 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,720 Speaker 1: when he was with Miami. You know, I wonder how 1484 01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,920 Speaker 1: much they're gonna have to do without what to bring, 1485 01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, extra guys and try to you know, I 1486 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,719 Speaker 1: don't know, but what's going on in Pittsburgh but here locally? 1487 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: Are you surprised that there's not more talk about the 1488 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,640 Speaker 1: Belichick Flores thing? And like, I was thinking about that 1489 01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 1: little they talk to each other, like the text smesh 1490 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,800 Speaker 1: snaffu with Brian Dable and all that stuff, And I 1491 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,200 Speaker 1: do I wonder what that relationships like right now. I 1492 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 1: wonder if they're if they're copasetic or not. Yeah, you 1493 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,760 Speaker 1: wonder what the Steelers game plan on defense. So Terrell 1494 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:27,080 Speaker 1: Austin their defensive coordinator. He's a Cover two guy. He 1495 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,560 Speaker 1: comes from a Tampa two background and he played a 1496 01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: lot of Cover two against the Bengals. But they have 1497 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,920 Speaker 1: Jamar Chaise, they have te Higgins, they have Tyler Boy, 1498 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 1: they have weapons that you want to keep the safeties 1499 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:40,400 Speaker 1: over the top. The Patriots might not scare you vertically 1500 01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,960 Speaker 1: as much as those guys scare you, So I wonder 1501 01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,759 Speaker 1: there were It kind of felt like at times like, Okay, 1502 01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 1: here's you know, Austin's turn to call the defense, and 1503 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: now here's Brian Flores is turning to call the defense 1504 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,960 Speaker 1: because they're calling cover two a lot, and then the 1505 01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 1: next five players are all man coverage, five man rush, 1506 01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,559 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, there's Brian Flores. So it's kind 1507 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,720 Speaker 1: of like a meld of the two different systems. So 1508 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,200 Speaker 1: with this game plan with Flores is I wouldn't necessarily 1509 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,759 Speaker 1: say the institutional knowledge is that big of a deal anymore. 1510 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,519 Speaker 1: He hasn't been here in a couple of years and 1511 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,720 Speaker 1: never coached against Mac and practice or anything like that. 1512 01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,680 Speaker 1: But his success, certainly with Miami last year. Is this 1513 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:23,000 Speaker 1: a Flores game plan? Does Terrell Austin say to Brian Flores, 1514 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,880 Speaker 1: how did you beat him? You know the Patriots better 1515 01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:29,800 Speaker 1: than I do. You had success against them in Miami. Here, 1516 01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,240 Speaker 1: it's your game plan this week? Because then they do 1517 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,840 Speaker 1: have that capability of playing more man coverage, they just 1518 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 1: lean more heavily on zone against Cincinnati. I also think 1519 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 1: that Brian Flores may look at it and say, like 1520 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:44,559 Speaker 1: that first game last year, Mike is right. He came 1521 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 1: out on with double barrels. As the season wore on, 1522 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,120 Speaker 1: I think people kind of realize we don't have to 1523 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,519 Speaker 1: do that to sort of contain this offense. We don't 1524 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,920 Speaker 1: have to put ourselves in harms way that recklessly. And 1525 01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Miami did it, you know anywhere near 1526 01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 1: was much last week is they did in the first 1527 01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:05,200 Speaker 1: week in twenty twenty one. Yea, So maybe Brian Flores 1528 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:06,600 Speaker 1: looks at it and says some of the stuff that 1529 01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,599 Speaker 1: Evan just said. You know, you know five man rushes. 1530 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,920 Speaker 1: I know that's technically a blitz if you bring more 1531 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,280 Speaker 1: than four, But that's not the same kind of thing 1532 01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,160 Speaker 1: that we saw from the Dolphins in Week one last year, 1533 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 1: when you know, as anybody and everybody was coming to Bill, 1534 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,559 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I've asked my question. It's another 1535 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,400 Speaker 1: reason why he again, back when he used to talk 1536 01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,759 Speaker 1: to me, he used to say things like that he technically, 1537 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:31,639 Speaker 1: in his mind, a blitz is when you have one 1538 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,519 Speaker 1: more when they bring more than you have, right blocking, right, yes, 1539 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 1: And I agree with that that mindset, and even like 1540 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 1: I understand that it was a safety blitz because it's 1541 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 1: an unconventional guy. But it's still they only sent five 1542 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,439 Speaker 1: on that play right last week, and that's why Bill 1543 01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,720 Speaker 1: was kind of short in the post game when he 1544 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: said we had we had five guys they had to 1545 01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 1: block him. We didn't block it up. Yep. Yeah, I 1546 01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,599 Speaker 1: will say last year, in the last game against Miami, 1547 01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 1: they played a little bit more zone against the Patriots 1548 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 1: than what they did in the opener. Opener was all 1549 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 1: man and man blitz right. In the second game, they 1550 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,599 Speaker 1: played a little bit more zone, probably thinking that McDaniels 1551 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,439 Speaker 1: would have him ready for the man stuff, so they 1552 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,759 Speaker 1: pivoted a little bit with Brian Flores. So I wonder 1553 01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: how that goes this week. I think that that for 1554 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots offense, it feels a little bit of right 1555 01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,040 Speaker 1: or we wanted me has no idea what Matt Patrician's 1556 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,320 Speaker 1: gonna do. It feels a little bit premature to get 1557 01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 1: into what is the defense gonna do against them and 1558 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,160 Speaker 1: game planning and stuff when you got to go out 1559 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:32,080 Speaker 1: there and execute surprises. Just the part that I was 1560 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:35,320 Speaker 1: saying about Flores, he might not feel like they're gonna 1561 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 1: do enough damage to you have to, you know, blitz 1562 01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,839 Speaker 1: as much. And the other part that I think Flores 1563 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,719 Speaker 1: could be interesting here is again with Evans point about 1564 01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:49,000 Speaker 1: him not maybe necessarily having the institutional knowledge you know, 1565 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:53,720 Speaker 1: in that, but he was around when the Patriots annually 1566 01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:58,599 Speaker 1: went against Pittsburgh and he knew how Bill and Josh 1567 01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:02,120 Speaker 1: attacked the Steelers defense. I think you could be of 1568 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,240 Speaker 1: some value there. Yeah, you know, just sort of knowing 1569 01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 1: what they have done in the past, you know, on 1570 01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,360 Speaker 1: both sides, you know, against Roethlisberger, and this is what 1571 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:13,720 Speaker 1: they used to do, and this is how they used 1572 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,559 Speaker 1: to try to go about it. So let's make sure 1573 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 1: we have Drubisky prepared for some of those things. And 1574 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: on the flip side, they had great offensive game plans 1575 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,880 Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh when they needed So if we want to 1576 01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:27,479 Speaker 1: sit back and do all the things that you guys 1577 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,240 Speaker 1: used to do, this is what he's going to do. 1578 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if mac Jones is the same as 1579 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady in terms of being able to, you know, 1580 01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 1: take advantage of all that stuff. You know, like that, 1581 01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,519 Speaker 1: if he's going to sit back and cover two, we 1582 01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,720 Speaker 1: all know that that was suicide against Tom Brady. I 1583 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:42,880 Speaker 1: don't know that that's suicide with Matt. I just think 1584 01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, as great as Pittsburgh's defense has been over 1585 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,960 Speaker 1: the years, they also had some good weapons on offense. 1586 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you know remember Levon Bell and even when 1587 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,559 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown was there and you always had a worry 1588 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,760 Speaker 1: about them and Ben Roethlisberger and yeah, I mean you 1589 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,240 Speaker 1: don't need to do that now as of late. Yeah, 1590 01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:02,599 Speaker 1: they had some great game like seventeen and eighteen were 1591 01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:04,720 Speaker 1: like great games in Pittsburgh. I mean the one in 1592 01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:08,439 Speaker 1: nineteen we blew doors off here in that opening that 1593 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:11,120 Speaker 1: Mike talked about earlier in the show. But those two 1594 01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:14,200 Speaker 1: remember the game the ground game where he went off. 1595 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:20,360 Speaker 1: But then that controversial play games. Ye, they changed the 1596 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 1: rule as a result of that play um And then 1597 01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:25,679 Speaker 1: I think that was seventeen. I think the Steelers beat 1598 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 1: them in eighteen. Um in a lower shot. It was 1599 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:33,120 Speaker 1: like a seventeen ten game. Ye. That was a give 1600 01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:34,600 Speaker 1: me the look. No, no, it's it's it's one of 1601 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 1: those Pal moments. I know. I'm sure you love is 1602 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,640 Speaker 1: um is all the Patriots fans making fun of the 1603 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,479 Speaker 1: Steelers for like lionizing the interception from that game where 1604 01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,200 Speaker 1: they like, I think that sealed the game if I 1605 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly last and then the Patriots went 1606 01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:49,920 Speaker 1: on to win the Super Bowl, and you know, so 1607 01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,680 Speaker 1: it was one of those things of I don't know, okay, good, 1608 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 1: sorry for you don't remember that, do you? The Steelers interception? No, 1609 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 1: I do remember the play in the end zone. They 1610 01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:01,559 Speaker 1: like put up a picture of it in the Steelers 1611 01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:03,920 Speaker 1: like Joe Hayden, wasn't it Yeah, a locker room or 1612 01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 1: something like. It was like they made a big deal 1613 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,200 Speaker 1: out of like we finally did it, you know, like 1614 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 1: like they blew it up. It was one of those things. 1615 01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 1: This is a weird matchup though from a coach, Fred 1616 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,960 Speaker 1: voices it's a weird matchup because the Patriots and the 1617 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,000 Speaker 1: Steelers coaching staffs are very, very different from the last 1618 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 1: time that these two teams played. Keith Butler was their 1619 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for a really long time. He they parted 1620 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,240 Speaker 1: ways because they struggled last year. I wouldn't know. I 1621 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,360 Speaker 1: don't know enough about Pittsburgh in or working so know 1622 01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,240 Speaker 1: if it was a true firing or not. But they 1623 01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,600 Speaker 1: did not have a good defensive year last year. So 1624 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:40,360 Speaker 1: he leaves, Tara Lawson comes in, Matt Canada on offense. 1625 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about Trubisky as a drop back passer. 1626 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,559 Speaker 1: He was abysmal in that game against Cincinnati, but Matt 1627 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:49,960 Speaker 1: Canada is known for having some tricks up as sleeve. 1628 01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,840 Speaker 1: They ran a reverse flee flicker against the Bengals for 1629 01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,680 Speaker 1: a big play. Yeah. They had four explosives. All of 1630 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,200 Speaker 1: them had some sort of like trick or bell and 1631 01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:03,040 Speaker 1: whistle or I think Deonta Johnson had one insane like 1632 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 1: Odell one handed catch along the sideline and overtime that 1633 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 1: was a great catch. I saw that on red zone. Yeah, 1634 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:11,360 Speaker 1: to get them down the field. So they had They 1635 01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,640 Speaker 1: had a flee flicker, reverse flee flicker that goes for 1636 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 1: a big play, a tight end screen went for a 1637 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 1: big play. Deontay Johnson mosses somebody on the sideline for 1638 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 1: a big play, and then Dribrisky had one scrambled drill 1639 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,080 Speaker 1: broken play in overtime. But they had two explosives in 1640 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:28,400 Speaker 1: regulation and that was it. And they were both off 1641 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,439 Speaker 1: of like scheme gimmick type of plays. So Canada is 1642 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 1: a he's a schemer, He's somebody that's going to drop 1643 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:38,360 Speaker 1: some things. Chase Claypool had six carries for them on 1644 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,200 Speaker 1: end a rounds and reverses, so they're gonna get him 1645 01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,200 Speaker 1: involved in the running game as well. But when they 1646 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: go to just their straight stuff like turn around and 1647 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,240 Speaker 1: give the ball to Nagy Harris or throw the ball 1648 01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:52,440 Speaker 1: in a drop back passing game, they were terrible again Cincinnati, 1649 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: so they really had to be smoking mirrors. If the 1650 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,800 Speaker 1: Patriots defense is more on top of some of those 1651 01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,439 Speaker 1: things that Canada is going to do, I don't really 1652 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:03,200 Speaker 1: see how Robisky strings positive play together, and I don't 1653 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 1: know if the Patriots offense gonna be able to string 1654 01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,599 Speaker 1: a positive place together either. But I'd picked seventeen thirteen 1655 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,160 Speaker 1: for a reason. I think love scoring game, all right, 1656 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 1: eighteen thirteen? Who pats? Oh wow? Uh yeah, that's that's key. 1657 01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:20,000 Speaker 1: You know who gets the seventeen eight five five past 1658 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,799 Speaker 1: five hundred ticket outline. Let's get back to the phones. 1659 01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 1: We'll start with Matt and Ohio. What's up, Matt, Matt, guys, 1660 01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:33,559 Speaker 1: how's it going good? So I took Ball's advice yesterday 1661 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,960 Speaker 1: and listened to Felger and Matt later on the day, 1662 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,760 Speaker 1: But I wasn't able to hear your take on the 1663 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 1: Kendrick Bourne because it only posted the first hour of 1664 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 1: their show. UM, but I wanted to talk about UM 1665 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:50,679 Speaker 1: kind of their opinions about it. I mean they brought 1666 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 1: some stories up with Kendrick Bourne, how him and Patricia 1667 01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:58,479 Speaker 1: got into it UM during practice and then he him 1668 01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 1: missing the meeting, and then it all stems back to 1669 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:04,280 Speaker 1: in the off season when he was talking to Mike 1670 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Reef about you know that the offense and how he's 1671 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 1: going to be more involved in it and how he's 1672 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,080 Speaker 1: going to be used as a running back and how 1673 01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:16,400 Speaker 1: excited he is. I don't understand and where this pettiness 1674 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 1: is coming from. I guess it comes back to I 1675 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 1: mean it's it's totally different story. I guess with Malcolm Butler, 1676 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,080 Speaker 1: when you know, being benched in the Super Bowl, I mean, 1677 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,880 Speaker 1: is Matt Patricia that petty and that he can't have 1678 01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,960 Speaker 1: a conversation with these guys to do what's best for 1679 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:36,679 Speaker 1: this team. I mean, we're gonna take a divisional loss 1680 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:38,760 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna I mean, obviously you lost the 1681 01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,559 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but that's obviously not the reason, and still 1682 01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have won the game. Kendrick Warren went to play, 1683 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,360 Speaker 1: but come on, now, three plays and DeVante Parker plays 1684 01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:50,599 Speaker 1: every snap. I mean, it makes absolutely no sense. How 1685 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,519 Speaker 1: we just can't be adults about this and get over 1686 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,360 Speaker 1: our fighting. I mean, I just I just don't understand. 1687 01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,439 Speaker 1: I mean, if like his bill pushing portray, should you 1688 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,960 Speaker 1: know be that he's he's the guy everybody needs to 1689 01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 1: listen to him or else or I mean, Patricia, is 1690 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,280 Speaker 1: that like that much? I mean, he's getting all the blame. 1691 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:16,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, we don't know what's going on. We don't know. 1692 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,200 Speaker 1: I feel like we're trending into the Felgram zone here, 1693 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,680 Speaker 1: where they were an alternate state of react exactly. So 1694 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,439 Speaker 1: if you say it enough, it becomes fact. Why is 1695 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:28,479 Speaker 1: anybody surprised by this? I just don't understand if you 1696 01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 1: followed this team and Paul is better at remembering all 1697 01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,479 Speaker 1: of the different instances where this has gone on. It's 1698 01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,000 Speaker 1: not just Malcolm Butler, and it's not just Kendrick Boorne, 1699 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,200 Speaker 1: like Wes Welker got bench for a quarter because he 1700 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 1: said Rex Ryan likes feet or something like that to 1701 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:45,960 Speaker 1: the media, like this has been going on for twenty 1702 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:51,360 Speaker 1: years that guys that aren't following the program don't play 1703 01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 1: like I don't understand why this is so? What is 1704 01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 1: the example of and I don't you know why that. 1705 01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:58,960 Speaker 1: I don't This is not a Kendrick boy thing. But 1706 01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:03,439 Speaker 1: what is the example of him not following the program late? Okay, 1707 01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,400 Speaker 1: but that's why he didn't playing in practice? No, No, 1708 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 1: he showed up late. That's why he didn't play against 1709 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:13,800 Speaker 1: Carolina that night. True, that's it. Like, but those those 1710 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:17,040 Speaker 1: are we know, like Otterer than anybody at their strikes 1711 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:19,160 Speaker 1: with Bill right like you you have. I don't know 1712 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,600 Speaker 1: how many he gives people. You know, some people I 1713 01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,960 Speaker 1: don't think have any, like Jonah's Gray. He shows up 1714 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,080 Speaker 1: late to one practice, but even he it wasn't just 1715 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:30,080 Speaker 1: one lot more than Yeah, it was a lot. And 1716 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:34,680 Speaker 1: that's why. And that's why I believe even with it 1717 01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,720 Speaker 1: wasn't just that there had to be other things. Yeah, 1718 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:42,280 Speaker 1: and I and like I find it weird. And again 1719 01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,960 Speaker 1: Evan talked about when we did the whole sort of 1720 01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:49,680 Speaker 1: Kendrick bone timeline during practice in the Carolina practices. Do 1721 01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 1: you remember the very first practice of training camp the 1722 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 1: shoulders that it was basically otherwise known as the only 1723 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:57,080 Speaker 1: day that the offense had success? Yeah? Yeah, who had 1724 01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:03,160 Speaker 1: success that day? Parker and h not Ja Kobe. They 1725 01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,160 Speaker 1: were jumping all over the place. It was all the 1726 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,439 Speaker 1: energy they were creating, Kendrick Bourne whipping the crowd up, 1727 01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 1: to Davante Parker making contested catches in the end zone, 1728 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:14,160 Speaker 1: and to the point where when Bourne talked about it, 1729 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:15,599 Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, the defense was getting a little 1730 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,639 Speaker 1: mad after a while. And remember the defense like blink 1731 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:22,760 Speaker 1: them the rest of the weekend. So he opened camp, 1732 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,800 Speaker 1: he was getting balls thrown to him and he was 1733 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:26,479 Speaker 1: a part of things. And then as camp went on, 1734 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:29,759 Speaker 1: we were all sort of noticing, like, he's not getting 1735 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,000 Speaker 1: any passes thrown to him. He's coming in as like 1736 01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:35,560 Speaker 1: the fourth guy. He's sort of sometimes like in the 1737 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:39,040 Speaker 1: second group with Trey Nixon and little Jordan Humphrey. You know, 1738 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 1: he wasn't out there as much with Parker, Myers and Agalore, 1739 01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,320 Speaker 1: and you sort of wondered what happened. These are the 1740 01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:49,640 Speaker 1: kinds of things we don't know, but something did. They 1741 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:52,040 Speaker 1: didn't just decide all of a sudden, you know what, 1742 01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:55,000 Speaker 1: we don't like this guy. Anybody everybody's pointing the fingering 1743 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 1: yeah and ill, this has been going on for twenty 1744 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 1: years with the head coach's So why are we saying 1745 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,240 Speaker 1: that this is Patricia's problem. That's and that's what starts 1746 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:05,920 Speaker 1: to bump me is just that, well, we're going to 1747 01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,559 Speaker 1: establish this now, what what we're going to say happened 1748 01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,280 Speaker 1: was that that Matt Pete doesn't like him and that's 1749 01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 1: and it's all his choice, and he's and they had 1750 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,840 Speaker 1: beef and it's still going and Matt Patricia's that's hearing 1751 01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 1: it like you're just like watching the But that's off 1752 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 1: of a report. That's a different to me, that's a 1753 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:24,479 Speaker 1: different well, but but that's a simple like Matt Patricia's decision. 1754 01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 1: But now it's becoming that this is an ongoing Patrician 1755 01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:32,559 Speaker 1: you know, they was, I mean, according to Tom Kerran 1756 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:36,120 Speaker 1: there was some some kind of strife between Patricia and Born. 1757 01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:38,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. That's I mean, that's 1758 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:42,160 Speaker 1: that's the way the report came out that he was 1759 01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:47,599 Speaker 1: sort of um during wide Receiver meetings. He was sort 1760 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,760 Speaker 1: of correcting things like that's not how that's not how 1761 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 1: it's done. That's not you're not doing it right, and 1762 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,479 Speaker 1: that got back to Patricia and Patricia was really upset 1763 01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,680 Speaker 1: about it. That's sort of the behind the scenes. But 1764 01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,040 Speaker 1: that ever, than I have this right like, this is 1765 01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,120 Speaker 1: not about Matt. Patricia just decided, you know what, Bill, 1766 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 1: this guy, he ain't playing anymore. That's not how it works. 1767 01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:11,080 Speaker 1: That's not how that's not how things work. Paul and 1768 01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:13,599 Speaker 1: talk about over the last twenty years, how many guys 1769 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,639 Speaker 1: have gotten into the dock house with Bill? How many 1770 01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,240 Speaker 1: times have we gone through this? And like then everybody's 1771 01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,600 Speaker 1: saying it's Matt Patricia, who's actually the guy that But 1772 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,599 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say even more so, give me an 1773 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,479 Speaker 1: example of a guy who got in a doghouse with 1774 01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,400 Speaker 1: a positional coach or one of the coordinators, Michael Bennett, 1775 01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:33,080 Speaker 1: and that's why he ended up never playing. You know, 1776 01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:37,160 Speaker 1: like if that lists a lot smaller, right, and Michael 1777 01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:38,720 Speaker 1: Bennett might be one of them. I don't know. You 1778 01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 1: need to happen to Ray Hamilton. But that was a 1779 01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:42,960 Speaker 1: long time. Didn't he get in a fight with Bill? Yes, 1780 01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:45,960 Speaker 1: that's what That's the way I remember it. At least. Yeah, 1781 01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:49,280 Speaker 1: dock house traded three weeks later. Let's go back to 1782 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,400 Speaker 1: the ticket, right, we're got a hurry fed you got 1783 01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:54,840 Speaker 1: a home? Yeah, well you gotta hurry. Oh she's okay, 1784 01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:56,800 Speaker 1: I can't do that. Then we gotta go to pill No, 1785 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:58,519 Speaker 1: you gotta get you gotta cli off there. You can't 1786 01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:02,120 Speaker 1: leaves on the phone. All right, all right, quickly Stephen, 1787 01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:05,960 Speaker 1: New York. What's up? Yeah, I guess they'll be quick, 1788 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:07,960 Speaker 1: you know. One first one want to say, Evan, a 1789 01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:13,000 Speaker 1: huge fan of your work in your film Breakdown, would 1790 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:17,519 Speaker 1: love to see a video series on the Patriots YouTube page. 1791 01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 1: One of the things that's concerning to me, and I'm 1792 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:23,599 Speaker 1: wondering if you guys can write some insight and how 1793 01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 1: they fix this. But you and another individents have mentioned 1794 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,679 Speaker 1: that the wide receivers weren't were running routes that didn't 1795 01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 1: make sense, whether crowding areas or you know, almost running 1796 01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,800 Speaker 1: into each other. And I'm wondering, is that the communication thing? 1797 01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:44,280 Speaker 1: Is that a coaching like a wide receiver coach? Is 1798 01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:47,719 Speaker 1: that a scheme thing? Like? Why is that happening? Thanks 1799 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:51,400 Speaker 1: for the call, Steve. Patriots were in concept called nish 1800 01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,240 Speaker 1: probably like six times against Miami where you have the 1801 01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:57,280 Speaker 1: shallow crossers coming over the middle and usually leaked to 1802 01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,760 Speaker 1: running back and on fourth down, the fourth down play 1803 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:03,240 Speaker 1: that Zavan Howard got called for a legal contact and 1804 01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 1: it ended up going for a first down to the Patriots, 1805 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,760 Speaker 1: Jakobe Myers and Damian Harris collided in the middle of 1806 01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,400 Speaker 1: the field. They ran into each other when they're supposed 1807 01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:15,840 Speaker 1: to intersect, they ran into each other. And Mac was 1808 01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:19,400 Speaker 1: looking to work through that part of the concept as 1809 01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:21,400 Speaker 1: it was like fourth and three, Like they're not trying 1810 01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:23,240 Speaker 1: to bomb it down the field on fourth and three, 1811 01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:25,400 Speaker 1: and the two receivers he was trying to throw the 1812 01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:29,439 Speaker 1: football too, collided and fell to the ground, so he 1813 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,280 Speaker 1: wasn't able to throw the ball to the four yard 1814 01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:36,040 Speaker 1: pass to get it past the sticks versus bombing it 1815 01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:38,599 Speaker 1: down the field. They were in Mesha half a dozen 1816 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 1: other times and the same thing. Everything was happening in 1817 01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,800 Speaker 1: like a little pocket of space on top of each other, 1818 01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:50,599 Speaker 1: and you just don't see any route space. It's spacing 1819 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:52,400 Speaker 1: of the field, and I think in a lot of 1820 01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:56,040 Speaker 1: cases it's a detriment to the fact that they can't 1821 01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 1: take the top off. And so these guys, these these 1822 01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:01,760 Speaker 1: defenders were getting in the way because they're crowding the 1823 01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:05,640 Speaker 1: box within fifteen yards of the line of scrimmage. So 1824 01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:09,080 Speaker 1: I it's an interesting question of you know, what's the 1825 01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,200 Speaker 1: what why? Like why is this happening. I think there's 1826 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:15,880 Speaker 1: probably a million different reasons as to why, but that 1827 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,360 Speaker 1: fourth down play stuck out to me so much because 1828 01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:21,320 Speaker 1: they tried to get they tried to have they had 1829 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:23,720 Speaker 1: the right idea, but they ended up just running into 1830 01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:25,800 Speaker 1: each other and it was kind of a mess of 1831 01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,000 Speaker 1: a play and Mac ends up having to throw a 1832 01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,920 Speaker 1: bomb to Davante Parker in the end zone against Avian 1833 01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,719 Speaker 1: Howard and they got bailed out by the flag. NAT's 1834 01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:37,720 Speaker 1: in Santa Cruz. What's up, nat, Hey, guys. I just 1835 01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:42,559 Speaker 1: wanted to follow up on some of the talk about 1836 01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:46,639 Speaker 1: the coaches, and I think that in some ways they're, 1837 01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, built in danger of losing the locker room. 1838 01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:54,160 Speaker 1: He brought in two coaches who had both had lost 1839 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:57,320 Speaker 1: the locker room as head coaches, and he brought it 1840 01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,360 Speaker 1: and you know, it's like a lot of the guys 1841 01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:03,519 Speaker 1: would have gotten in line when the team was going 1842 01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:06,680 Speaker 1: to the last twenty years, like Evan said, going to 1843 01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:10,000 Speaker 1: the championship in the Super Bowl. That's how it's gonna 1844 01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:13,439 Speaker 1: work anymore. And these guys are different, young men are 1845 01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:17,240 Speaker 1: different from they were twenty years ago. They were you know, 1846 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:21,679 Speaker 1: they're millionaires now, they're treated differently, and if Bill doesn't 1847 01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:25,519 Speaker 1: adapt and stop making everybody fall in line in the 1848 01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,880 Speaker 1: same way that works when you were constantly winning games 1849 01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:33,120 Speaker 1: and winning championships, he's just gonna, like, guys are just 1850 01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:35,200 Speaker 1: gonna say, Okay, can I get out of here, how 1851 01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:37,519 Speaker 1: my last a year in New England and be done 1852 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:40,519 Speaker 1: with my contract and then move on. So I really 1853 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:45,800 Speaker 1: hope Bill adapts and like just learns the human being 1854 01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:50,160 Speaker 1: side of the players and changes the way he interacts, 1855 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,320 Speaker 1: because right now it seems like this is maybe not 1856 01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:58,040 Speaker 1: a must win, but it's a must play good because 1857 01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,840 Speaker 1: I feel like we're at a precipice in the next 1858 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:04,200 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of you know, whether Bill can even 1859 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:08,000 Speaker 1: remain as a functioning leader of this team. Wow, I 1860 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:11,040 Speaker 1: know that's tell a dire but I'll take it off 1861 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:14,439 Speaker 1: fine team, all right, Yeah, I mean it's it's a 1862 01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,400 Speaker 1: good conversation to have, and you've had it before. But 1863 01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:21,320 Speaker 1: I think Bill has acknowledged that he needs to adapt 1864 01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,200 Speaker 1: and things have changed, and I think, you know, I 1865 01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:28,439 Speaker 1: think he has in certain areas, you know, but yeah, 1866 01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:29,920 Speaker 1: I think he has two. But I think what's like, 1867 01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, what's concerning to me is just all this 1868 01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:37,200 Speaker 1: talk of installing an offense that is rudimentary and isn't 1869 01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:39,360 Speaker 1: going to do the job in the NFL. Like I'm 1870 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,880 Speaker 1: fine with like the personnel stuff and pushing the right 1871 01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 1: buttons off the field, like I'm sure he's changed plenty 1872 01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:45,880 Speaker 1: of stuff we don't know. We don't know how he 1873 01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:50,400 Speaker 1: talks to the team. But what really makes me apprehensive 1874 01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,960 Speaker 1: about this whole thing is just the fact that why 1875 01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,479 Speaker 1: would this guy, who's the greatest coach of all time, 1876 01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:58,160 Speaker 1: it knows everything there is to know about football put 1877 01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:01,559 Speaker 1: in an offense that is not going to be functional 1878 01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:03,720 Speaker 1: and successful at the NFL level. That that's what's mind 1879 01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:05,920 Speaker 1: blowing to me, and the thing I'll be watching it 1880 01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 1: to me, Yeah, it's it's less about how he's community 1881 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:11,240 Speaker 1: because I think communication has always been sort of a 1882 01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,080 Speaker 1: challenge for him, but it's been able. I think he's 1883 01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:16,120 Speaker 1: been able to get his message across to the team 1884 01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:19,200 Speaker 1: obviously for twenty plus years, you know, as well as 1885 01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,479 Speaker 1: anybody needs to, right, I mean, they've won more than 1886 01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,880 Speaker 1: any team ever. So I think the differences now are 1887 01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,559 Speaker 1: when you do things like that, Mike, you're changing the offense. 1888 01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:30,720 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, I know this upset the guy who 1889 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,200 Speaker 1: wrote in earlier. But when you're doing it with guys 1890 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,840 Speaker 1: that have no offensive background, people are going to question 1891 01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,519 Speaker 1: you when they haven't been around for when you won 1892 01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:41,840 Speaker 1: those six super Bowls, And most of the people that 1893 01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 1: are involved in this transition weren't around when you were 1894 01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,360 Speaker 1: winning all your games. So, yes, Bill Belichick comes with 1895 01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:52,840 Speaker 1: an enormous reputation that everybody would love to play for. 1896 01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:56,120 Speaker 1: But when you're starting to do things that are a 1897 01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:59,000 Speaker 1: little bit unconventional, it's harder to get the buy in 1898 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:01,800 Speaker 1: from people who haven't been around when you've wanted a 1899 01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:04,519 Speaker 1: high level And I think that's the kind of stuff 1900 01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:06,800 Speaker 1: that I think Nat might be talking about. But I 1901 01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:09,439 Speaker 1: still I think he could still communicate with the team 1902 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:11,960 Speaker 1: and get his message across. It's whether or not they 1903 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,720 Speaker 1: believe in what they're doing. All right, it's a good conversation, 1904 01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 1: but we have to hurry. I know, you gotta it's 1905 01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:18,720 Speaker 1: that time of the week because you gotta put a 1906 01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:20,479 Speaker 1: lot of you gotta put a lot of thought into 1907 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:29,360 Speaker 1: your performance. All right. As we previewed, it was a 1908 01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:34,360 Speaker 1: bad week for Fred last week. Yes, a bad really 1909 01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:37,679 Speaker 1: doesn't begin to describe it, but it wasn't bad for everybody, 1910 01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:40,400 Speaker 1: because Paul went ten five and one, which was not 1911 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,439 Speaker 1: bad for a week one performance. Yeah, followed by Tamara 1912 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 1: at seven, eight and one. Of course, then Mike gets six, 1913 01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:53,400 Speaker 1: nine and one, and Fred evan, I want you to 1914 01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:57,679 Speaker 1: listening to this. This is overall just picking winners, sixteen games, 1915 01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:02,599 Speaker 1: just picking the winner, no spread, no nothing, two thirteen 1916 01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:08,080 Speaker 1: and one, Oh my god, as go the Patriots, so 1917 01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:12,840 Speaker 1: um with the spread. I screwed up. I picked Cincinnati. 1918 01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:16,040 Speaker 1: I never picked Cincinnati. I forgot that rule. I shouldn't 1919 01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,000 Speaker 1: have picked them. That was one. Okay, yeah he does. 1920 01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:21,040 Speaker 1: That's why he goes to thirteen and one because he 1921 01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:24,679 Speaker 1: has about eleven grudges and sometimes all of those grudges 1922 01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,479 Speaker 1: don't work, and it all happened to not work in 1923 01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:30,320 Speaker 1: the same week he has. He has arguments with a 1924 01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,200 Speaker 1: lot of teams at the same time I do. With 1925 01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:35,280 Speaker 1: the spread. Paul also won that at ten and six, 1926 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:39,439 Speaker 1: followed by I'm sorry, followed by Mike at seven and nine. 1927 01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:42,639 Speaker 1: Good job, Mike, good for you. Uh yeah, it's good 1928 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:46,840 Speaker 1: for you. Samara at five and eleven, and Fred four 1929 01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:51,240 Speaker 1: and twelve. Yeah, not bad compared to two thirteen and one. 1930 01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:55,080 Speaker 1: That's awful. Yeah, I just don't the feeling I knew 1931 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,600 Speaker 1: going into the season. It didn't.

I'm gonna take Indie on 2011 01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:29,920 Speaker 1: the road. That's the favorite retweet by the points retweet. Yeah, 2012 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:31,840 Speaker 1: I want to take Indie, but I don't feel great 2013 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,240 Speaker 1: about it. I just they looked like the same kind 2014 01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:37,439 Speaker 1: of team. I thought Matt Ryan played well. He threw 2015 01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: for a lot of yards. Uh one of the receivers 2016 01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:42,360 Speaker 1: taken after Taykwon throw it and had a terrible drop 2017 01:44:42,439 --> 01:44:44,599 Speaker 1: in the end zone. And Alec Pierce. Oh, yeah, that's 2018 01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 1: never nady guy. Right. Oh. I don't like him at all, 2019 01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:51,240 Speaker 1: but he's one of those guys. Yeah, Fred, you liked him, Yeah, 2020 01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:54,120 Speaker 1: you don't like him. I didn't think the Colts look 2021 01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:55,920 Speaker 1: great in that game. I thought they were very lucky 2022 01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,000 Speaker 1: to tie. They probably should have been won in overtime. 2023 01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:00,840 Speaker 1: But I'll take the Colts to bounce. What's the number? 2024 01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:04,040 Speaker 1: Four and a half Colts favored. Yes, I'll take the 2025 01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:08,599 Speaker 1: Colts to win, but I'll take the number and the hook. Okay, 2026 01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:13,280 Speaker 1: all right? Um Sunday at one, the one and oh 2027 01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:18,519 Speaker 1: Buccaneers travel to the one in oh Saints Tampa by 2028 01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:22,080 Speaker 1: two and a half. And I think New Orleans has 2029 01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:25,000 Speaker 1: won something stupid like seventh straight or something, not cleaning 2030 01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:28,560 Speaker 1: the playoff game against these four regular against Brady. I 2031 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,559 Speaker 1: think that's gonna change this week. I'm gonna take Tampa Bay. 2032 01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna we'll lay those points. I'm going to take 2033 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,599 Speaker 1: the Bucks Bucks two minus two and a half. Yeah, 2034 01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:40,200 Speaker 1: I will take the Saints. I think that they have 2035 01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:42,599 Speaker 1: their number. I think they know how to defend Brady, 2036 01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:44,479 Speaker 1: and I think that that offensive line is going to 2037 01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:48,080 Speaker 1: be under siege against the Saints front. You hate Brady, Yeah, 2038 01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why I picked against Brady last week. 2039 01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:52,519 Speaker 1: That's another one of my rules that I went against. 2040 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,439 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go back to picking with Tom Brady, 2041 01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:58,639 Speaker 1: back to the well, back to swapping spit with Tom Brady. Yeah, 2042 01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,439 Speaker 1: like you did once on Day at one, the Owen 2043 01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:05,200 Speaker 1: one Panthers visit the one and oh, Brian Dable led 2044 01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:09,439 Speaker 1: Giants Giants by two and a half. Yeah, I like 2045 01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:12,360 Speaker 1: what they did. Say, Quan obviously looked good. I'm gonna 2046 01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:15,519 Speaker 1: take the Giants and Brian Dable. Um, I can't pick Carolina. 2047 01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:18,160 Speaker 1: I feel like that's gonna end pretty soon with with 2048 01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:22,160 Speaker 1: Matt rule there, so, yeah, Giants lay the points same, 2049 01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:27,040 Speaker 1: I will take the Panthers. I think the Giants were 2050 01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:30,800 Speaker 1: very fortunate and they had something on their side that 2051 01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:32,680 Speaker 1: I can't really talk about. That's the only reason why 2052 01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:35,960 Speaker 1: they won. Why can't you talk about I had Tennessee 2053 01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:40,280 Speaker 1: and knockout. Oh. I'll go with the Giants to win 2054 01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:44,880 Speaker 1: this game Sunday at one oh No, we're gonna skip 2055 01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:49,719 Speaker 1: over the Patriots um and we're gonna go to four 2056 01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:51,760 Speaker 1: oh five.

I didn't um the Owen 2059 01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:01,439 Speaker 1: one Falcons. Visit the Owen one ran the Rams by 2060 01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,360 Speaker 1: ten and a half blowsers. That's a lot of points. 2061 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:05,800 Speaker 1: It is a lot of points. Do you want to 2062 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:08,000 Speaker 1: lay them or not? I'm gonna I'm gonna take the Rams, 2063 01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:12,840 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take the points.

I 2066 01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:29,960 Speaker 1: am going to take the Rams both ways too. I 2067 01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,000 Speaker 1: think they bounced back after a poor performance in the opener. 2068 01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:36,519 Speaker 1: Me too, Rams both ways four oh five one and 2069 01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:40,880 Speaker 1: oh Seahawks at the and one forty nine Ers Noiners 2070 01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:44,320 Speaker 1: by nine and a half.

I'm gonna take Denver to win, but Houston 2094 01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:12,639 Speaker 1: to cover. And I am going to do Denver both 2095 01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:16,920 Speaker 1: ways and at least Fred to break the tie Denver 2096 01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:21,960 Speaker 1: both ways. Okay. Four twenty five the Owen one Cardinals 2097 01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:26,160 Speaker 1: at the one Raids Rates by five and a half, 2098 01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:29,960 Speaker 1: five and a hey, let's go Raiders. Josh lost a 2099 01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,479 Speaker 1: close one in the division last week. I think they 2100 01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:36,120 Speaker 1: bounced back get their first win. Yep, Vegas, Vegas. I'll 2101 01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:38,360 Speaker 1: take Vegas both ways. I thought about taking the points, 2102 01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:40,479 Speaker 1: but the Cardinals just didn't look very good. Tyler Marie 2103 01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:42,280 Speaker 1: just doesn't do it for me. He runs too much, 2104 01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:46,439 Speaker 1: little tips, a little silly man running fast. Yeah, I'm 2105 01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:49,080 Speaker 1: gonna go with the Raiders as well. Although was there 2106 01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:52,240 Speaker 1: criticism of the play calling by Josh McDonald. I heard 2107 01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:55,479 Speaker 1: criticism from one place in one place only, and that 2108 01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:58,679 Speaker 1: your favorite betting show on this hot side Lift Shafts 2109 01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:02,479 Speaker 1: was like viscerated Josh McCoy targeting Davanta Adams like seventeen times. 2110 01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:04,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, like the problem, He's like 2111 01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:08,360 Speaker 1: a kidney candy stories I have and week in a row, 2112 01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:12,840 Speaker 1: the expert betting had the Patriots this week, um eight 2113 01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:17,000 Speaker 1: twenty Sunday night on and be sure um is he's 2114 01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:19,760 Speaker 1: still doing those games al Michaels. No, he's doing the 2115 01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:23,360 Speaker 1: game tonight right right. I think it's al Michaels and 2116 01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:28,479 Speaker 1: Herb Street on the now and oh so I can't 2117 01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:34,040 Speaker 1: remember anymore because al Michael doesn't hear Tarrico impression. That's 2118 01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,320 Speaker 1: pretty good A little bit I have to work at 2119 01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:39,519 Speaker 1: I'll work shop or shop Um bears one and but 2120 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:41,960 Speaker 1: I let it go Bears one and no at the 2121 01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:46,639 Speaker 1: pack one pack bite nine and a half pack. Wow, 2122 01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:50,000 Speaker 1: nine and a half. That's a big number. But I 2123 01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:52,360 Speaker 1: think Chicago stinks, So I'm gonna I'm gonna take the 2124 01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:55,439 Speaker 1: pack and I'll lay those points. Yeah, I'm going with 2125 01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,160 Speaker 1: green Bay. I think Aaron Rodgers is probably a little 2126 01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,280 Speaker 1: embarrassed after last week, so I'm gonna take green Bay 2127 01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:04,840 Speaker 1: across the board. Yeah, I'm gonna do that too. Um, 2128 01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:10,040 Speaker 1: they just maybe Chicago can't do anything against Rogers, seems 2129 01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:14,600 Speaker 1: I am gonna take those points. Paul. Packers win, but 2130 01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:18,599 Speaker 1: they do not cover at home. All right, Monday night 2131 01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:20,720 Speaker 1: is a double header. I'm sorry you took Green Bay 2132 01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:23,799 Speaker 1: and then you took Chicago to cover. Yep uh, Monday 2133 01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,559 Speaker 1: night is a double header. The first one seven fifteen 2134 01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:31,160 Speaker 1: on ESPN, the Owen One Titans visit the one in 2135 01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:41,120 Speaker 1: Oh Bills Bills by ten. I'm definitely going Bills here. Yeah, 2136 01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna lay the points. I'm gonna lay 2137 01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:50,800 Speaker 1: the points. Bills win. H Philly. Tennessee played has played 2138 01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:56,240 Speaker 1: them tough recently, they've dominated. Yeah, Bills win, Tennessee covers. Yeah, 2139 01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm mad at Tennessee, so I'm just gonna take the 2140 01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:02,040 Speaker 1: Bills to cover. I'm mad at rabel my boy, because 2141 01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:04,400 Speaker 1: you get to me last week. Randy Bullock. I'll find 2142 01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:06,240 Speaker 1: him like I find Lee Evan did it on purpose. 2143 01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:08,679 Speaker 1: I'll find Lee Evan someday and I'll find Randy Bullock 2144 01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:10,880 Speaker 1: because that's the second year that Randy Bullock did that 2145 01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:13,759 Speaker 1: to me. Folks, here's your upset of the way folks, 2146 01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:20,080 Speaker 1: Titans outright, Titans outright. I like it. I like the confidence. 2147 01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean, unlike his normal upsets. That's an upset. They're 2148 01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:27,280 Speaker 1: getting ten points. That's an upset. Eight thirty, so they 2149 01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:29,680 Speaker 1: didn't even wait for the other one to finish eight. 2150 01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:33,760 Speaker 1: They're ones on ESPN and on the one to know 2151 01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:40,720 Speaker 1: Vikings at the one to know Eagles eggles by two. Yeah, 2152 01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:43,479 Speaker 1: this is Minnesota. I always got the wrong beat on them. 2153 01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 1: I'll probably be wrong again, but I'm gonna take Philly. 2154 01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:51,080 Speaker 1: I'll lay the points Philly, Philly. Oh, I see what 2155 01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 1: you did there? Took me. It took me a second. 2156 01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:58,040 Speaker 1: The CTE again, we don't talk about that here. Here's 2157 01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:02,200 Speaker 1: my my wonder, Like, do I just allow Minnesota to 2158 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:05,320 Speaker 1: abuse me like they do every other year and then 2159 01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:08,320 Speaker 1: do the opposite? You know what, screw it, I'm gonna 2160 01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:10,800 Speaker 1: take Minnesota. I want to get hurt again. Yeah, I 2161 01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:13,479 Speaker 1: want to be an abusive relationship. Yeah. I fear that 2162 01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to be. I fear that I'm going to 2163 01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,439 Speaker 1: be caught underrating the Eagles this year. I think the 2164 01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:22,080 Speaker 1: Eagles are very good, but I want to I'm gonna 2165 01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:24,080 Speaker 1: pick them to get it out of my sister, and 2166 01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:28,640 Speaker 1: if they screw me, then I'll on them. I think 2167 01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:30,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles has some talent. I don't believe in the 2168 01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:35,280 Speaker 1: passer Jalen Hurts, but it finds ways to win. So 2169 01:53:35,320 --> 01:53:37,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Eagles in that game. All right. Now, 2170 01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:41,600 Speaker 1: we go back to one o'clock on Sunday. Amazingly, we 2171 01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:44,800 Speaker 1: have seven minutes to get this game and it's the 2172 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:48,679 Speaker 1: oh and one Patriots at the one and oh Steelers. Now, Paul, 2173 01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:51,640 Speaker 1: what's the handle? Okay? In this game? The spread is 2174 01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:54,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots are favored by one and a half. I 2175 01:53:54,960 --> 01:53:57,000 Speaker 1: know that we were talking about two a little bit. 2176 01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:58,760 Speaker 1: What I have, we're gonna go about one. What I 2177 01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:01,040 Speaker 1: had this morning out of the paper was one and 2178 01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:02,560 Speaker 1: a half. So that's what we're going with one and 2179 01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:08,280 Speaker 1: a half. Patriots are favored. Didn't answer my question, what's 2180 01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:10,519 Speaker 1: the handle on this game? I don't know what that means. 2181 01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:12,720 Speaker 1: That means like the amount of money bet? How the 2182 01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:15,160 Speaker 1: hell do I know? You don't know? It's got to 2183 01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:16,839 Speaker 1: be in there. What do you think I'm taking books? 2184 01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,640 Speaker 1: Seven figures? Like? Is it a big handle? I don't know? 2185 01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:23,800 Speaker 1: Probably what do you think I'm stay away from it, 2186 01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:27,479 Speaker 1: like Caesar's mean, how do I know what? How much 2187 01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:32,160 Speaker 1: is one sharps? The sharps? No? And where's the money falling? 2188 01:54:33,120 --> 01:54:35,520 Speaker 1: I feel like the offenses are kind of a wash 2189 01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:37,840 Speaker 1: at this point, and I got to give the edge 2190 01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:41,280 Speaker 1: to the Pittsburgh defense. I agree with what everybody's been saying. 2191 01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:43,880 Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a's teens to teens kind 2192 01:54:43,920 --> 01:54:51,640 Speaker 1: of a game. I'm gonna go with Pittsburgh seventeen thirteen. Evan, 2193 01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:55,839 Speaker 1: you already said sixteen thirteen. I said seventeen thirteen Patriots. 2194 01:54:56,040 --> 01:54:58,560 Speaker 1: I like the Patriots in this game without t J Watt. 2195 01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:00,920 Speaker 1: I ain't at that really to I think t J 2196 01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:03,240 Speaker 1: Watt we're playing the Patriots might put up negative yardage. 2197 01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:06,440 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a coin flip game, 2198 01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,520 Speaker 1: and I think the fact that t J. Watt's not 2199 01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:13,440 Speaker 1: playing in the game, I give it fifty Patriots winless. 2200 01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:17,400 Speaker 1: Are you gonna pick over that Patriots? We're doing scores 2201 01:55:17,440 --> 01:55:19,480 Speaker 1: for this one too, right, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, 2202 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:27,760 Speaker 1: Patriots twenty one Pittsburgh fourteen. Okay, we're in the twenties, baby, 2203 01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:32,040 Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah. I work for the Patriots, so I 2204 01:55:32,160 --> 01:55:35,200 Speaker 1: like the Patriots in this game. Um, I don't feel 2205 01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:37,200 Speaker 1: great about it. I don't feel great about either team. 2206 01:55:37,240 --> 01:55:41,840 Speaker 1: I think the offenses are both bad. I think that 2207 01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:45,600 Speaker 1: Wad injury is big for Pittsburgh. I don't think that 2208 01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:48,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots turned the ball over multiple times again. And 2209 01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:51,400 Speaker 1: if Pittsburgh needs to put drives together to score, I 2210 01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:53,520 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a lot more difficult than it 2211 01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:56,680 Speaker 1: was for them to get to twenty last week sixteen 2212 01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:59,680 Speaker 1: thirteen Patriots. I think it could go either way. You know, 2213 01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:03,440 Speaker 1: turn and overs obviously can can rec havoc on these games. 2214 01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't see either team mounting a lot of sustained 2215 01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:09,600 Speaker 1: offense in this game. I think the Patriots will have 2216 01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:12,560 Speaker 1: just enough to get by Nick Folk. Everybody, what's the 2217 01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:21,680 Speaker 1: name of this new stadium now? It's nothin. Yeah. I 2218 01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:23,920 Speaker 1: think the Steelers have a bad season and the fans 2219 01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:28,320 Speaker 1: blame this name change on that. But anyway, I'm the 2220 01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:30,560 Speaker 1: kind of analysis you can only find here on Patriots. 2221 01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:33,280 Speaker 1: This is a This turns out to be a get 2222 01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:37,360 Speaker 1: right game for the Patriots. Um So I'm looking at 2223 01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:41,880 Speaker 1: twenty seven ten Patriots win this game two stands alone. Yeah, 2224 01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:44,520 Speaker 1: I think the Sharps did know something. They didn't want 2225 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:46,160 Speaker 1: to go all the way with this spread, but I 2226 01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:49,320 Speaker 1: think they did know something, and that's why the Patriots 2227 01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:51,960 Speaker 1: are favored in this game. So you might be right 2228 01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:54,480 Speaker 1: twenty seven ten. I might be right, but more likely 2229 01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm wrong judge based on last week. So just keep 2230 01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:02,320 Speaker 1: that in mind if you do tend to um, you know, 2231 01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:05,320 Speaker 1: bet on these game. Yeah, that the Pittsburgh offens or 2232 01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:09,120 Speaker 1: performance last week sort of worried me in terms of 2233 01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:13,920 Speaker 1: like their improvement. I still think Trubisky is better than 2234 01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:19,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Roethlisberger, but he really didn't do anything. 2235 01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:22,480 Speaker 1: He just kind of avoided mistakes and stayed out of 2236 01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:24,240 Speaker 1: the way and they didn't move the ball all day. Yeah, 2237 01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:25,880 Speaker 1: I mean, as a result, you can't play like that. 2238 01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:27,880 Speaker 1: It looked a lot like the Patriots. I mean it's 2239 01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:29,480 Speaker 1: just you know, and and and that's as I said 2240 01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:31,040 Speaker 1: at the top, but it's like striking when you have 2241 01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:33,400 Speaker 1: like Chase Claypool and like, you know, pieces that you're like, 2242 01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:35,400 Speaker 1: they should be able to get the ball. I kind 2243 01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:39,120 Speaker 1: of think of those guys as kind of like I 2244 01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:41,240 Speaker 1: think they're good, Like I think Deanta Johnson's a good 2245 01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:43,360 Speaker 1: slot guy. I like them a lot, yeah, but I 2246 01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:46,360 Speaker 1: don't like think of them as game breaking kind of players. 2247 01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:48,480 Speaker 1: Do you think of Claypool? And I think maybe you're 2248 01:57:48,480 --> 01:57:49,960 Speaker 1: a little higher on Clayton No. I mean I think 2249 01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:51,760 Speaker 1: he had a couple of moments last year that maybe 2250 01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:54,960 Speaker 1: skew the vision of them a little bit. You know. 2251 01:57:55,680 --> 01:57:58,360 Speaker 1: But and if I if I thought that like Nagi 2252 01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:02,680 Speaker 1: Harris was looking in you know, good, yeah, that I'd say, well, 2253 01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:05,200 Speaker 1: he could be a factor. I think I think they 2254 01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:08,240 Speaker 1: need to throw the ball to him more. Yeah, I 2255 01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:11,640 Speaker 1: mean even the touchdown they threw Room was just like awkward, 2256 01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, similar Patriots stuff. All right, Well that's gonna 2257 01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:19,600 Speaker 1: be it for this edition of Patriots Unfiltered. The John 2258 01:58:19,680 --> 01:58:22,880 Speaker 1: Rook in the playbook step up next YEA with Evan Lazarre. 2259 01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:26,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna be hanging around for some of that pregame 2260 01:58:26,360 --> 01:58:30,280 Speaker 1: social ten FT five and then the post game immediately 2261 01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:32,560 Speaker 1: following the game. Hopefully we won't have to take away 2262 01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:37,640 Speaker 1: Deuce's shoes. All right, we'll see you next Tuesday.
